Chapter 560: Chen Qingqing's Shocking Secret(1/2)
Just when everyone was shocked at how much money Lin Li had earned and how much money she could earn in the future, Chen Qingqing suddenly received a call. After answering the call, her face became a little heavy.
Chen Qingqing looked at Lin Li in the distance and was silent for a while, and suddenly burst into a bad smile.
Chen Qingqing walked to the corner and made two more calls, and then walked back to his room while everyone was not paying attention.
No one paid attention to Chen Qingqing, they were all concerned about another thing.
That is the box office of Guo Xiaoshan's movie "Extinction" the next day.
"Look at it, "Extinction" is only more than 96 million, and it's too much!"
This was said by Wu Ruobing. If Chen Qingqing is not here, she will show her gloating directly.
Most movies will be the day with the most box office revenue on the first day, and will start to decline next.
But there is also a trend to decline. Generally speaking (that is, there is not much change in the volume of screens), it is normal for the box office on the second day to drop by 30% compared to the first day, and a 40% drop is a bit much. If it drops by 50%, it is basically equivalent to saying that there is a problem with the quality of the movie.
If the schedule remains unchanged, the box office of the second day can maintain the same level as the first day's box office, which means that the movie has great potential. If it can still rise sharply, it can almost be said to be a hit, and it is rare to see one or two movies a year.
The box office of the movie "Youth" did rise significantly the next day, an increase of about 30%, but this is the effect of increasing the screening, so the box office performance can only be considered good, not a big hit.
However, with so many film schedules, the attendance rate of "Youth" has not decreased significantly, which is extremely rare.
By this standard, the downward trend of several other movies the next day was normal.
Even "Extinction" shows no obvious signs of falling.
After all, "Extinction" is an all-star lineup, and there are still many fans who win the second and third, so the box office will not be much different for the time being.
"On the first day, more than 100 million, and on the second day, more than 90 million, according to this trend, it is difficult for "Extinction" to break 1 billion."
Liu Chun said that she has participated in many movies. Although she is not the protagonist, she still knows the box office of the movie more than others.
After the movie is released, the performance of the first week is crucial.
New movies will be released every week. If the movie does not perform well in the first week, the movie will be scheduled to decline seriously after the new movie is released in the second week. It will be 30 days in total, but the movie theaters may not find the number of scenes in the second half of the month.
Such a movie will basically be the final box office of the movie in the first week.
For movies that performed well in the first week, there will still be good schedules in the second week, and the final box office will reach twice or even triple the first week's box office results.
Liu Chun said this obviously because he felt that "Extinction" was not performing well enough. After the first week, the box office was probably going to rise rapidly.
"Wow, there is no box office of 1 billion, so "Extinction" is going to lose?"
"You'll lose blood."
Lin Li smiled and said, "He did not invest in this movie by Guo Xiaoshan himself. He is just a director. If he loses the box office, he will also lose the money of investors."
Wu Ruobing said: "That's right, but I've lost too much this time. I'm afraid no one will dare to invest in him making movies in the future."
"That was his first time doing good deeds and accumulating virtue." Lin Li said with a smile.
After Lin Li said that, everyone burst into laughter. Lin Li and Guo Xiaoshan were already standing on Lin Li's side, but now they are not on the show. Without cameras, they naturally have no scruples.
None of Guo Xiaoshan's movies passed the ratings, and his reputation was even worse. Everyone still invested in him to make movies, but it was just that his previous movies had a good box office and could still make money.
And if Guo Xiaoshan can't hold up the box office this time, I'm afraid no one will dare to invest in Guo Xiaoshan's movies in the future.
Guo Xiaoshan naturally understood this truth, and this is why he was particularly concerned about the box office of the movie this time.
For him, this is not just a win or loser in a bet, but a matter of whether he can keep his job!
At this time, Guo Xiaoshan also saw the box office statistics for the next day.
If Guo Xiaoshan was angry yesterday, then Guo Xiaoshan today is more afraid!
Guo Xiaoshan was shocked by the box office of the movie "Youth", 200 million!
This is more than twice the box office of my own movie!
Based on previous experience and the trend of the past two days, Guo Xiaoshan analyzed the expected value of his subsequent box office of the "Extinction" movie.
Before the release, Guo Xiaoshan's goal was to earn 2 billion yuan and maintain 1.5 billion yuan. After the box office was released on the first day, Guo Xiaoshan's expectations had begun to drop, and he only wanted to exceed 1.5 billion yuan.
Today, seeing the box office of the next day and 32% of "Youth" will be scheduled tomorrow, while the screening of "Extinction" is only half of it. Guo Xiaoshan's expectations for his movie have become the lowest bottom line for not losing money.
But all this was estimated based on Guo Xiaoshan's previous film experience, and he understood that the ending is not yet decided, and he still has a chance to turn the tables.
Because the prediction cannot predict accidents.
For example, if the movie "Youth" is withdrawn at this time, then he and all the movies released in the summer will be no longer blocked!
Although this kind of accident is rare, it is not without it.
Even if there is not, Guo Xiaoshan felt that accidents could be created artificially.
The first week of the movie is the most important. Guo Xiaoshan understands that he will not take action again. When the new movie is released next week, his "Extinction" will never have a chance to turn around!
So, after Guo Xiaoshan saw the box office today, he called the male secretary.
"Did you find something you asked yesterday?"
“Looking for…”
"I'm still looking for it? What I said is in the air, right? I said the faster the better. How long has it been?!"
"I...I'll urge again..."
"Give you another hour!"
One hour later.
The male secretary knocked on the people who were in Guo Xiaoshan's office and shouted mysteriously: "Mr. Guo..."
Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Guo Xiaoshan said, "Come in and speak!"
After entering the door, the male secretary closed them, approached Guo Xiaoshan, and whispered: "Mr. Guo, time is in a hurry. Other people's black information was not found, but one black information about Chen Qingqing..."
Guo Xiaoshan's eyes lit up, and Lin Li couldn't find the black material, so it was the same if he found Chen Qingqing.
For the movie "Youth", Chen Qingqing even has more scenes than Lin Li. If she had any negative information, it would definitely have an impact on the currently released "Youth"!
"What kind of black material?" Guo Xiaoshan became interested.
The male secretary laughed and said, "We found out that she was dropped out of school by the school, and the reason for her withdrawal was because she was in the detention center."
After hearing this, Guo Xiaoshan became even more excited. It was no small matter to go to the detention center.
"Did you find out why I went to the detention center?" Guo Xiaoshan almost smiled.
The male secretary smiled awkwardly: "The police are too strict and no one can find out. Only a few leaders of Chen Qingqing's school know about this. It seems to be a serious matter. They don't want to be so proud, so they have not announced the reason... In addition... Chen Qingqing's agent Ye Jing's method, no one knows why she entered the detention center..."
“What school?”
"Kyoto University of Science and Technology, Department of Computer Science."
Guo Xiaoshan was silent for a while. He had never seen a newspaper for Chen Qingqing to be expelled from the school. The report could indeed cause a blow to Chen Qingqing's image.
But this blow is still a bit difficult to affect the movie. After all, Chen Qingqing was expelled from the school before entering the entertainment industry.
But if it is found out why Chen Qingqing went into the detention center, if it is something like theft or Western poisoning, then it can make Chen Qingqing a problematic artist.
The movie starring a problematic artist is probably going to be withdrawn!
Guo Xiaoshan suddenly felt that his hope was coming. Unexpectedly, Chen Qingqing, who looked innocent, had such a stain. Now he wanted to dig out Chen Qingqing's stain, enlarge it, and tell everyone.
Guo Xiaoshan sighed, this is really a way out!
"Continue to check! You must find out what happened to Chen Qingqing!"
The male secretary said: "The public relations department said that it seems that they can only find out these things. What is the reason for entering... I can't find out."
This was like a bolt from the blue for Guo Xiaoshan. He angrily said, "Why can't you find it out? This is very important! What do you want to raise them for?!"
"The public relations department said... it was a case in Kyoto, and our relationship was... there was no police station... several leaders of the school also contacted each other, but they refused to disclose it."
Guo Xiaoshan cursed: "Give money! Will they not say anything if you have money? The Public Relations Department wants me to teach you how to do things?"
"There are many hints, but the other party refused to accept it and was unwilling to disclose the reason. Chen Qingqing can now be regarded as their school's business card. They were already afraid that Chen Qingqing would not recognize their alma mater. Now they naturally want to establish a good relationship with Chen Qingqing and it is impossible to reveal this matter."
When Guo Xiaoshan saw the duck with his mouth, he couldn't swallow it. He was so anxious that he said, "She always has classmates, please ask her classmates! Someone must know!"
The male secretary said: "The Public Relations Department said she had found her. Chen Qingqing is a recognized iceberg beauty in their school. The man ignored any of the men, and only two women got closer, but they didn't seem to know why she was arrested. They were all very strange."
"Damn it!!" Guo Xiaoshan cursed. He was really anxious.
"I don't care. Tell the Public Relations Department that no matter what method is used or how much it costs. Before tonight, I want them to find out the reason!"
This matter can be said to be related to the future box office of "Extinction", and even Guo Xiaoshan's future director future, so Guo Xiaoshan naturally attaches importance to and is anxious.
And his intuition told Guo Xiaoshan that this matter is so mysterious, and there must be something small inside!
"Dig, you must dig to the end!"
Guo Xiaoshan ordered both excitedly and anxiously.
The male secretary was about to leave when suddenly a woman in her thirties rushed in. The man was the manager of the public relations department and looked very handsome.
Before Guo Xiaoshan got angry, she took the phone talking on the phone and said to Guo Xiaoshan: "Mr. Guo, there is news!"
Guo Xiaoshan's anger disappeared without a trace for a moment, and he asked excitedly: "What news?"
"We found a female student who Chen Qingqing had the best time in college. She knew the inside story, and she said that if we could give her 300,000, she would be willing to tell us the truth..."
To be continued...
