Chapter 1216: Nangong Family's Intentions
At midnight, Tomato.com once again refreshed the real-time box office situation of the day, and the first-day box office situation of the two newly released films, "Thor" and "Private Apartment", finally came to an end.
Without any surprises, "Thor" won the first day's championship with a box office of 533 million yuan. At the same time, Li Jiaqi, as the director of this film, also broke the highest single-day box office record in domestic film history and became the most popular new director in China.
The movie ranked second was not beyond the expectations of domestic movie fans. "Who Touched My Cat Ear" won a single-day box office of 230 million yuan with its strong laugh points. As a movie that was released for a week, the box office was so strong that even many domestic practitioners were a little surprised.
But this is exactly the charm of the movie.
Good movies won't fade because of time.
In fact, the box office results of the movies ranked first and second are good. What shocked domestic practitioners was the low-cost movie "Private Apartment". It actually won a single-day box office of 148 million yuan, successfully surpassing more than ten movies, ranking third on the box office list, and its dazzlingness is even more dazzling than the top two!
You should know that the cost of this movie is only 100 million, not big-name stars, nor big-name directors. If there is an actor who is famous, then there is only one second-tier female star, but even her looks are not as top-notch. But that's the case, she won a box office of 148 million yuan in a single day.
Therefore, some insiders have already stated that the total box office of this "Private Apartment" will definitely exceed 1 billion yuan, becoming a dark horse in the new year.
Global International is brightly lit and many employees are still busy.
‘Dongdongdongdongdongdong!’
There was a knock on the door outside the president's office.
"Enter."
Chang Hao turned his head and looked at the door, then quickly stood up and said solemnly: "Chairman!"
The person who came was Nangong Yuming, chairman of Global International. He nodded and asked, "How are you preparing?"
"Everything that should be prepared is ready, and everything depends on tomorrow's box office report. Some things are useless no matter how much we prepare here," said Chang Hao.
"Yeah, stop standing, let's sit down and chat."
Nangong Yuming pointed to the sofa.
During this period, major consortiums have realized that the film industry still needs special personnel to run it. Others make mistakes, except for losses, and so all the consortiums behind the six major consortiums have let go. They are only responsible for investing money, while the person in charge needs to bring satisfactory profits.
However, as Yixing Film and Television and Weidu Entertainment have begun to attack the European and American box office markets, the leaders of these consortiums have also focused on film and television companies again.
"I heard that the single-day box office of "True Love Declaration" and "Deep Sea Expedition" abroad has exceeded 100 million?" Nangong Yuming said as if he was chatting about family matters.
"yes!"
Chang Hao didn't know how to answer, so he had to agree, but he also said: "Chairman, our domestic box office market in Datang is also very good. Did you watch the market today? The box office of the market exceeded 1.1 billion yuan, which is 100 million more than the New Year's Day."
"President Chang, are you worried about our film industry's "Supreme Beauty"?" Nangong Yuming asked with a smile. How could he not see what Chang Hao said about him?
"No, I just think I should prove myself in China first. If I have the opportunity, I am seeking opportunities to intervene in the overseas market." Chang Hao quickly denied.
Nangong Yuming didn't comment, but he didn't want to talk more about this meaningless topic, so he explained his future intention: "President Chang, just like you said, we won't mention the foreign box office market, here the board of directors will give you a task."
"Please say it."
Chang Hao frowned and felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Seeing this, Nangong Yuming continued: "Although the investment of "Supreme Beauty" is less than 1 billion, it is not far away. Our company has started all employees for this 3D movie, so on the board of directors, I hope you can deliver a satisfactory answer to this movie, otherwise, your position as the president may be a little shaken."
"How much is satisfied?"
Chang Hao couldn't help asking.
He knew that to put it nicely, it was the board of directors, but it was actually not the Nangong family’s request?
Of course, if you invest so much, you will naturally have to get a lot of benefits. Otherwise, why would the Nangong family let him, an outsider, be the president of Global International? He could understand this, but he still needed a specific answer.
"3 billion box office!"
Nangong Yuming stretched out three fingers.
"Impossible!" Chang Hao said.
This number is simply impossible for Chang Hao to complete. Although the market seemed to be 1.1 billion on the first day of today, in fact, only one movie has the opportunity to exceed 3 billion yuan in the box office, that is "Thor". Even other movies cannot achieve this achievement even if anyone touched my cat's ears.
This is even more true tomorrow. Not counting "Thor", "Who Touched My Cat Ears" and "Private Apartment", the new film No. 2 has three major productions. In addition to Global International's own "Supreme Beauty", there are also "Victory of Pluto" that ZTE Pictures has been planning for a long time and the fairy tale film "Earth Immortal" of Tianya International.
The production costs of these two films are all over 1 billion, and the promotion costs are also over 100 million. It can be said that they are not inferior to "The Supreme Beauty" in any aspect.
Six excellent films compete for box office, how fierce the battle will be? I still want to have a box office of over 3 billion, but Chang Hao doesn’t know what the Nangong family is thinking? Are they all defecation?
Seeing that Chang Hao was very determined, Nangong Yuming was a little surprised and said, "Did you misunderstand? I mean, the entire box office of this film cannot reach 3 billion?"
"Forehead!"
Chang Hao blinked and asked tentatively: "What does the chairman mean?"
"Of course it's not just the domestic box office, it refers to the total box office of "Supreme Beauty" around the world." Speaking of this, Nangong Yuming directly expressed his thoughts: "We all know that your relationship with Ye Xinghui is not ordinary, so the board of directors hopes that you can borrow this relationship well. Does Zhou Da and Li Yaxing have your closeness to Ye Xinghui? Are you not friends? Why can their movie be released in Europe and the United States? Is our "Supreme Beauty" not possible?"
"Do you know what I mean?"
borrow?
To be honest, this is the first time Chang Hao has heard that relationships can be borrowed!
Of course, he did not completely deny Nangong Yuming's intention. At least in the matter of being released in Europe and the United States, Chang Hao and his ideas coincided with him, but he had not yet thought about how to talk to Ye Xinghui.
"Chairman, I haven't thought about this yet. I hope to wait until the box office of "Supreme Beauty" comes out in China before talking to Ye Xinghui." Chang Hao was a little confused.
"Let's do this, I'll give you a reminder." Nangong Yuming didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he spoke: "You may not have followed the news online recently. According to the news I got here, there are two more 3D movies on the interstellar video, which are "True Love Declaration" and "Undersea Adventure". Do you know what this means?"
The meaning in Nangong Yuming's words is already very obvious.
...
Thank you very much!
