Chapter 115 boom
"Do you think these two families..." Wu Kebo was talking to Wang Jinghua in Chengtian's office, but these two people were a little bit of a fun attitude. Now, Xin Si had sex with Hua Yi first, which gave their mortal enemies a chance to breathe, so he naturally enjoyed watching the show.
Wang Jinghua sat next to the desk. She did not have the respect for Wang Zhongjun on her face when she was in Huayi. After all, she was also one of the bosses of Chengtian: "I think Shao Yingxiong should not lose."
"Sister Hua, your joke is a bit big. The two movies "Hero" and "Ten Faces" have cultivated a lot of hardcore players. These hardcore players can make the box office of "Riding Thousand Miles" fluctuate to a certain level. Shao Yingxiong, a person who does not have too many foundations in the film market, can win Zhang Yimou? Anyway, I don't believe." Wu Kebo not only doesn't believe that Shao Yingxiong can beat Zhang Yimou, but he even thinks that Wang Jinghua is a little obsessed with Shao Yingxiong, as if this man can do anything in her eyes.
Wang Jinghua did not refute, but just put forward his own reasons: ""Walking a Thousand Miles" is not a commercial film. In the past, the highest box office record of art films was created by Zhang Yimou. However, in recent years, there has been only one movie in the art film market with a box office of over 10 million yuan, that is, "Peacock" released at the beginning of this year, which was made by Gu Changwei. As an art film, if Zhang Yimou can surpass Gu Changwei's box office, I don't think it is strange at all. I can use my own shortcomings to beat other people's strengths... What is the difference between this and Tian Ji's horse racing? Boss Wu, what I mean by strengths is the box office."
In terms of box office results, Zhang Yimou's commercial films do surpass many art films, and it is not unreasonable to be considered as Zhang Yimou's strengths. At least the box office record of Chinese movies in mainland China now belongs to others.
"According to you, Shao Yingxiong's strengths are also commercial themes?"
"It's hard to say. Anyway, this kid is very good at capturing the taste of the audience. On the small screen, he will always be a winner. So far, except for the opening ratings of "Bright Sword" that failed to the end of "Love Deep Rain", I have never seen him lose. Besides, that's what happened a few years ago. He... seems to have a natural sense of smell and knows which one the audience is good for."
Wang Jinghua's praise of Shao Yingxiong has been a long time. But what surprised Wang Jinghua the most was that this kid was the oriole among the mantis stalking cicadas. No matter what, she never expected that Hua Yi would fall into his hands in the end.
Wang Jinghua praised Shao Yingxiong so much but underestimated him. How could Wang Jinghua not look down on Shao Yingxiong at him?
"Wait for the box office news, no matter who loses and who wins, it will be beneficial to us. It is best if Huayi loses so much that he can never raise his head again. At that time, we can take the opportunity to fight."
Like Wu Kebo, there are also Shao Yingxiong, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei who are waiting for the box office news. These three people have returned to Huayi Company because major theaters will deliver the results of the first day today.
In Wang Zhongjun's office, Shao Yingxiong sat very steadily. He did not bring back the tension he had in the cinema the day before. To outsiders, Shao Yingxiong now seemed to have not fought with the heart scene at all, and was more like drinking tea peacefully at home.
Beep!
The phone in Wang Zhongjun's office rang. At the same time, the three of them stared at the phone placed on the table. Among them, Wang Zhongjun's eyes were full of worry, while Wang Zhonglei was expecting it, but Shao Yingxiong had no turbulence in his eyes.
Click.
The moment Wang Zhongjun picked up the phone, a slight voice came out, and the phone was posted on Wang Zhongjun's ear. A few seconds later, the worry in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he asked in surprise: "Say it again, how many are there in total!"
Wang Zhonglei looked forward. He wanted to know the number. But when he got closer, Wang Zhongjun slowly put the phone back to its original place.
He ignored Wang Zhonglei's anxiousness and said to Shao Yingxiong: "The news has been sent back."
"Say." Shao Yingxiong's face was very calm, but his thumb and index finger still betrayed him. The two fingers were pinched together, and even the flesh on the fingers turned slightly white.
Wang Zhonglei continued to ask, "Brother, you said that!"
"Nine million and sixty thousand..."
bass!
Wang Zhongjun seemed to have reacted now, and reached out to pull off the tie on his neck collar, and pulled the first button on his shirt without untiing it at all: "Xiao Shao! Nine and Sixty thousand!!!"
The sky is spinning.
This number made Shao Yingxiong feel a dizzy moment before his eyes, and the beating heart drew a curve in infinite joy.
He can't be upset!!!
The national box office of "Embroidered Spring Sword" on the first day was 9.06 million, which included the national box office of Xiangjiang and Baodao. Even so, this result was not common even in 2005, when it was so fiercely competing for the annual box office championship.
"call!"
Shao Yingxiong finally got a breath. With a box office of 9.06 million on the first day, he also had some confidence.
"Is this the result of online pre-sales, or..." Shao Yingxiong was indeed very happy, but he was the first of these people in front of him to wake up. If the result of online pre-sales accounts for the majority, it is very bad news. It can only be said that it was done well in the previous publicity. Such movies are generally powerless in the later stages. After the box office was very high, the first week of the box office began to fall sharply.
Wang Zhongjun excitedly said: "The movies that were pre-sale online reached 3.83 million, and the rest were all box offices sold at the theaters and on-site sales!"
Once this news is revealed, it proves that "Embroidered Chun Dao" is truly popular!!
No matter how much money is spent on online pre-sale, it can only prove that many people will enter the theater without cash at the pre-sale. Although this is also considered a box office, it will still reduce the amount of ticket buying on-site. If fans who watch "The Embroidered Spring Sword" and fans who get tickets online pre-sale according to the current ratio, it will prove that the group of people online are coming one after another, and the ticket sales at the ticket window proves the durability of the box office. After all, online shopping was not the mainstream in life in 2005. Even if the online publicity is good, this wave of people will not enter the theater again after this craze, let alone Taobao users. With such a large amount of publicity, they can't pay for it, let alone in the future.
"Where is the reputation?" Shao Yingxiong asked anxiously.
Both Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei laughed: "Xiao Shao. You are too anxious, it's only one day."
"Yes... only one day." Shao Yingxiong was a little anxious. The reputation of the movie usually only rose after a week of box office. There are only a few people like "The Promise" who were scolded from release to the next painting, and even the director forced to make various concessions.
Thinking of "The Promise", Shao Yingxiong suddenly realized that the first day of "The Promise" seemed to have more than 9 million, but he couldn't remember exactly what it was, but there were many different opinions on the first week of "The Promise": some said it was 60 million, some said it was 74 million, and some said it was 80 million. But the total box office finally climbed to 180 million, reaching a box office peak.
Shao Yingxiong didn't dare to think so much, his psychological expectation was 100 million. As long as "Essence of Spring Sword" wins 100 million box office, he will not lose money, and he will even make a profit. If he exceeds 100 million and 20 million, that is a big profit. Further up... He never thought about it. He had thought about "Hero" sold 18.74 million in various copyright fees in addition to box office. If "Essence of Spring Sword" is well operated and can sell the copyright for about 12 million, then this movie would be a good start for Huayi.
In the movie industry, a big investment may not necessarily make a big profit. The movies that really make money on theaters have to be said to be small investments like "Crazy Stone". Who told you to give 60% of the box office to others, and you can only get 40% yourself. Even this 40% includes giving some to theaters?
After getting this good news, the three Huayi bosses began to go everywhere, because cinemas had already begun to ask for an extension of the release time. This is when Huayi really makes money, once such a requirement is available. According to common practice, the box office obtained by extending the release time will reduce the three points that were given out to two points.
Just as Shao Yingxiong and Wang Brother went to major theaters to negotiate at the same time, another good news came back, and Shao Yingxiong was on the cover of Time Magazine!
The cover character of the latest issue of Time Magazine is Shao Yingxiong. Under his huge photo, there is a "Titanic" sailing on the sea, and the English is "I want to challenge the box office record of that ship in China!".
boom!
Once this news exploded, the whole country fell into heated discussion before the reputation of "The Embroidered Spring Sword" was released. Shao Yingxiong challenged the box office record set by "Titanic" in China? Why is he? Just "The Embroidered Spring Sword"?
Various analyses in various entertainment news began to come collectively, and "Embroidered Chun Dao", Hua Yi and Shao Yingxiong became the most common words in the media.
"Hello everyone, have you watched the popular "Embroidered Spring Sword" recently? Here I will reveal a little gossip to you. Shao Yingxiong, the screenwriter and starring "Embroidered Spring Sword", appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. This time, the slogan he shouted in Time Magazine was to challenge the box office record set by "Titanic" in my country. Can he get what he wants? Welcome to continue to watch the continuous reports of "Entertainment Pioneer".
"This is "New Era of Entertainment". Shao Yingxiong and Hua Yi have been in great momentum in the past year. The release of "Embroidered Spring Sword" has allowed us to see a different martial arts world. However, this is not the theme of this issue. The theme of this issue is "Shao Yingxiong appeared on the cover of Time Magazine" and declared to challenge "Titanic"..."
Once the news in Time Magazine appeared, more and more reporters were entering Huayi Company. Almost everyone would ask to interview Shao Yingxiong when they came to Huayi Company, which made the reception staff at Huayi’s door tirelessly.
"Everyone, Mr. Shao doesn't have time to accept an interview now. If you want to have an interview, please make an appointment. Mr. Shao's secretary has not told me about the interview today, so don't make things difficult for me, okay?" The reception staff looked at the reporter with a long gun in front of him.
At this moment, Shao Yingxiong rushed back from outside. Behind him was Zhang Wan, who had just returned from filming "The Line of Life and Death".
"Mr. Shao!"
When this title appeared, the reporter turned his head at the same time, and then "Hula" surrounded Shao Yingxiong in the crowd.
"Mr. Shao, have you ever said you want to challenge the box office record of "Titanic"?"
"Mr. Shao, why did you say such things in an interview with Time Magazine?"
"Mr. Shao, do you think "The Embroidered Spring Sword" can surpass "Titanic"?"
Zhang Wan blocked all the reporters and said while parting the crowd: "Mr. Shao, go in first, leave it to me."
"No, I'll do it myself." Shao Yingxiong pulled Zhang Wan in front of him behind him and looked at everyone without any nervousness. He said: "I said that challenging the box office record set by Titanic in my country. That's right, but "The Embroidered Spring Sword" had been filmed at that time, and this was the first time I played the leading role in the movie. This movie is very important to me, but it has nothing to do with the challenge."
