Chapter 21 Crazy Box Office

After a short chat, Guan Shan took them away and left Zhang Bingqian and the two of them in the corridor on the second floor.

Looking at her daughter and Yin Jun standing under the dim light, Zhang Bingqian couldn't tell what kind of emotions she felt in her heart.

She never looked down on Yin Jun. On the contrary, she felt that Yin Jun was so sophisticated and sensible at such a young age, and he must have achieved a lot when he grew up.

But Zhang Bingqian never thought that her daughter would be cheaper than Yin Jun.

What she wants is a mature and stable elite who is five or six years older than Guan Zhilin, and it doesn't matter if the children of the rich family, so that the daughter who has been spoiled since childhood will live a happy life, without having to live for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar all day long Worrying about trivial matters, and by the way, I can also help my brother.

However, Zhang Bingqian was very distressed to find out that she didn't know what magic Yin Jun did, her daughter just liked to stick to him, and she was going crazy.

I really don't know if it's because when a child falls in love for the first time, he doesn't know how to keep a few points because he is too young?

Of course, Zhang Bingqian didn't think about these things deliberately today. Anyway, she will continue to let her daughter and Yin Jun less contact in the future.

Even if Yin Jun has written a good script, and his family will definitely make money, the same is true.

"Mommy~"

When the outsiders left, Guan Zhilin ran over pretty, took Zhang Bingqian's arm, and shouted excitedly, "I watched the movie written by Brother Jun, watch it well! ... This time, will it be a big hit at the box office and make money? A lot of money?"

"Well, the response is very good." Zhang Bingqian smiled and said to Yin Jun who came over: "Thank you, Junzi!"

"Auntie, you're welcome, this is because Uncle Guan did a good job in filming and acting." Yin Jun nodded and said, "Now the attendance rates of those theaters are also coming out?"

"After the two shows, the average attendance rate is 65%. Due to the good reputation, the movie tickets for the third show have sold almost 75%." Zhang Bingqian said, "According to this calculation, today's three shows should be able to get 100,000 yuan. box office!"

Between the words, Zhang Bingqian couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Guan Zhilin looks like his mother, so Zhang Bingqian, who is close to forty, is still very attractive and beautiful.

Over the past few years, with the continuous development of Hong Kong's economy, the price of movie tickets has also continued to increase, rising every year.

The average price of movie tickets in the previous year was 4.8 yuan, and last year's average price was 5.3 yuan. During the Spring Festival at the beginning of this year, it rose to 5.6 yuan.

Next year will be more exaggerated, it will directly rise to about 7 yuan.

However, this is only the average price, and we need to see the factors of the product company and the big star to finally determine the price.

"The Wrong Seven Days of Love" doesn't have any big casts, and it's also a romantic film, so the movie ticket is only 5 yuan, which is a moderately low price, so as to attract more people to the cinema.

According to the 65% attendance rate on the first day, this is really not low, and it has a good reputation spread. There will be a break at the weekend tomorrow night, as well as the rest day on Sunday, there will definitely be a box office explosion.

Oh, by the way, until 2020, Xiangjiang also has no weekends. Their normal holiday is one day on Sunday, and then some daily statutory holidays are added.

So even if it's Friday, it won't start as big as the North American box office, it won't be until tomorrow night.

The box office on the day of the premiere is 100,000 yuan, so tomorrow, you can expect 7 screenings a day, with a box office of 180,000 yuan; on Sunday, it will be at least 250,000 yuan.

The box office can reach 430,000 in three days, which is definitely a very good result, so that you will not be forced to go offline for three days and a week, and at least it must be released to the standard time for 15 days.

At that time, the box office of 1.5 million is really not a dream!

No wonder Guan Shan was so happy today that he directly invited those theater owners to have a celebration banquet.

Then again, if today's box office can really break through 400,000, then Jiahe will definitely be willing to open a few more theaters for "Seven Days of Love".

After all, April and May are always the off-season for movies, and there are not many good movies to be released.

Movies that can make money, of course, will be preferentially treated.

Yin Jun heard Guan Shan talk about "Mr. Jiahe Cai" just now, and ranked him before several bosses, so this person should be Cai Yongchang, one of the three giants of Jiahe.

This very low-key giant on weekdays was actually one of the important promoters of Jiahe's prosperity in the 1980s and 1990s. He was in charge of film project approval, planning, and the most important theater arrangement, etc., and was second only to Jiahe. Yu Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang.

Whether "The Seven Days of Love" can be expanded further depends basically on him.

...

The next morning, just as Zou Wenhuai came to work in the company, he met Cai Yongchang who was waiting at the door of the office.

"Ayong, what's so urgent?" Zou Wenhuai said with a smile as he opened the office door.

The current Golden Harvest is far from the invincible Heungkong No. 1 film company in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They only rely on Li Xiaolong in front, and now relying on the Xu brothers, they have built a well-known, Heungkong No. 2 film company. Just a movie company.

The first is Shaw Brothers Pictures, which can earn more than 100 million yuan after calculating all the profits in a year.

Therefore, the office space of Jiahe Company is not large, just two floors rented.

"Brother Huai." Cai Yongchang followed him into the office, took out a piece of paper from his bag, put it on the table and said, "Look at it."

Before Zou Wenhuai sat down, he picked it up and took a look. His eyes were frozen, "150,000!? Did you count?"

"That's right!" Cai Yongchang nodded and said, "But it wasn't three shows. The audience responded so well, so they had to concentrate on five theaters for another show. It can be considered as three and a half shows overall. The attendance rate for the halftime is 100%, and there are still over a hundred people who haven't seen it, and they have been swearing for a long time!"

""The Wrong Seven Days of Love"..." Zou Wenhuai tapped his fingers on the table and asked in confusion, "When did Guan Shan have such a skill? Don't you only give an expectation of 1 million box office?"

Before a movie is released, there is a preview session, and theater managers will decide how many screenings and how many screens to show the movie through their own ratings and evaluations.

Cai Yongchang is responsible for this.

He Guanchang used to be there to watch it, but just a while ago, during the production of a movie, he took a fancy to a young man and ran back and said that if he cultivated carefully, he should be a good actor not inferior to Hong Jinbao, so I've been running around outside these days to see if I can dig him over.

Therefore, Cai Yongchang looked a little embarrassed.

Zou Wenhuai smiled when he saw it, "Ayong, I'm not blaming you, but I just don't understand, how could Guan Shan, a person who is dying, take a selfie and act in such a good movie?"

The box office on the first day was 150,000, and then the cinema was forced to open another one at 11 o'clock to meet the needs. This is a rare thing.

This has fully demonstrated that the box office potential of "The Wrong Seven Days of Love" should be looked at at 2 million.

And if it reaches 2 million, it is a big-selling movie, which is enough to attract Jiahe's attention.

Last year, there were only 8 movies in Hong Kong that made 2 million at the box office!

Cai Yongchang said with a wry smile, "I don't know either, when I watched "The Wrong Seven Days of Love", I just watched it as a simple romantic comedy. I didn't expect those audiences to like it so much. The compliments are very high, except for some criticism of the ending, everyone feels that if you have time, you can watch it a second time."

Having said that, he briefly repeated the content of "The Mistaken Seven Days of Love".

Zou Wenhuai is also an old filmmaker, and it seems that there is nothing special about it.

But the audience liked it, and liked it very much, and that's the conclusion - this movie is sure to be a hit!

"Isn't "Unscrupulous" released the day before yesterday? It's all empty anyway. You can add 3 more theaters to them... No, 5 theater chains, and also add Lao Lei's Lisheng Theater." Zou Wenhuai ordered Said, "Also, ask someone to check it carefully to find out how "The Misunderstanding of the Seven Days" was made, and what's the mystery."

"it is good!"

Cai Yongchang nodded.

...

On this day, many filmmakers knew about the sudden emergence of "The Misunderstanding of the Seven Days" and its great popularity.

Jiahe announced that it will add 5 more screens to it, which is also a reasonable thing.

As a result, 16 movie theaters will show "The Mistaken Seven Days of Love", which is really huge!

However, everyone still did not expect how popular "Seven Days of Love" would be.

On Saturday, April 29th, the single-day box office of "The Misunderstanding of the Seven Days" was 270,000, almost doubled.

On Sunday, April 30, the box office hit 470,000, surpassing the 450,000 record of the first-day premiere of the box-office champion "Ban Jin Ba Liang" the previous year, setting a new single-day box office record in Heung Kong history.

On Monday, May 1st, the box office of "The Wrong Seven Days of Love" dropped to 320,000, but on the same day, Jiahe announced that it would increase and contact a total of 8 cinemas to show it the next day. Another record for the largest number of movie theaters.

In the face of such a grand occasion, newspapers and TV stations have reported and commented on it one after another, and "Seven Days of Misunderstanding" has almost become a cultural phenomenon.

Young people and couples who don't want to watch "The Misunderstanding of the Seven Days of Love", it is completely outdated rhythm.

According to an interview with TVB, there is a couple on Hong Kong Island who watched it six times in three days in one breath, but are still ready to continue watching.

As a result, in the first week of May, the box office of "The Misunderstanding of the Seven Days" reached a crazy 3.7 million.

As of May 7, the cumulative 10-day box office has reached 4.52 million, once again setting a record of breaking 4 million at the fastest box office in 10 days. It is only one step away from the 5.06 million of last year's box office champion "Fa Qian Han"!
