At first, I just wanted to make money

The ten-day box office was 2.88 million. Even movie idiots know that "The Ancient City of Jingjue" has no problem breaking 3 million!

The problem is the final box office...

距离7月18号只剩下4天——《赤壁》7月18号上映…

The company has no doubt that China Film Group will directly offline "Jingjue Ancient City" for "Red Cliff"!
Han Shanping can do it.

"Red Cliff" is related to the performance of China Film Group in the past few years...

Therefore, we must find a way to let "The Ancient City" stay for at least another two weeks. Therefore, the publicity team played the name of winning the box office champion of mainland film history - surpassing the box office record of 3.59 million set by "Titanic"...

I simply opened a special topic on Sina - record the data of a single day, and then use the red letter: How much is the box office short of surpassing "Titanic"...

Do everything possible to mobilize more audiences to watch movies!

The box office is the most intuitive thing, which is called artificially creating spiritual shareholders.

Oh, "The Ancient City of Essence" has no investment from China Film Group, it's just a joint release, and Shanghai Film Group invested 300 million US dollars. Therefore, in Shanghai alone, the box office of "The Ancient City" reached 4200 million in ten days...

In the first week of the release of "Exquisite Ancient City", the weekly box office of Lianhe Cinemas reached 1612 million yuan, and in the second week, it was 1800 million...

Therefore, even if China Film Group really gives the order, the theaters below may not agree to it when it is actually implemented.

However, with the release and publicity of "Red Cliff", it is impossible for the box office to be bad in the first week.

The attendance rate will not be low, after all, it has been laid for two or three years...

How to choose the theater?It's really hard to say!

……

Shen Xudong is watching the overseas box office of "The Ancient City". In South Korea, 534 screens were screened at the same time. On the first day of the premiere, 7.9 viewers were attracted to watch the film. In the first three days, it attracted a total of more than 43 viewers, ranking on the box office list. The second place - the first place is naturally "National Superman";
The following week attracted another 71 people, and the cumulative number of movie viewers exceeded one million...

Oh, it still ranks No.2 in the box office list, that is, No.1 has changed the film - "Batman: The Dark Knight".

Simultaneously released in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia, the ten-day box office grossed 760 million U.S. dollars, and Hong Kong’s box office was close to 180 million U.S. dollars.

Taiwan directly sold out the copyright for $100 million...

Sold to Cai Songlin, who released it, the box office was 157 million US dollars in the first week, and 270 million US dollars at the box office in ten days...

Shen Xudong succumbed to Cai Songlin's operation—too awesome.

It's not that "Exquisite Ancient City" made a lot of money...but that it was released at the same time.

Generally speaking, the Taiwan authorities implement a quota system for mainland movies, not to mention only 10 mainland movies can be imported every year, and the method of importing is actually a lottery!
Even if the lottery is won, the release date cannot be synchronized...

"Exquisite Ancient City" is registered as a co-production film, but it is a co-production between China and Hong Kong. The director team is from Hong Kong, and many supporting roles are also from Hong Kong. According to regulations, if you want to be released in Taiwan, you need to win a lottery...

It's embarrassing, I didn't win the lottery at all!
How to arrange simultaneous screening?

Buy the lottery at the front?

Who will sell it to you?
Besides, if you buy it, the Taiwanese audience will buy it?

——But Cai Songlin has a lot of ways to directly hold the Xu Ke Film Festival, and every participating theater in the film festival can screen the film.

Then, he released "The Ancient City" in such a grandiose manner...

As expected of a boss, no one accused me of taking advantage of such loopholes...

No wonder Andy Lau wants to cooperate with him in "Future Police"...

Oh, Nippon has to wait for the release in October... After all, Toei just bought the copyright, not directly involved in the production, and does not enjoy co-production treatment.

All in all, after ten days of its release, "The Ancient City" grossed over 5000 million US dollars at the Asian box office...

The profit line has been exceeded!

In the future, Europe and South America will be released simultaneously...

To sum it up, when Shen Xudong was reading the box office report, he was a little surprised to find a question: "I'm going, why are there only 39 theaters in Hong Kong showing "The Ancient City"?"

"...Because Golden Harvest only has 19 theaters, and the remaining 20 belong to our partners...and there may be 7 fewer theaters next week..."

"Why? Also, why are there 86 "Batman: The Dark Knight"?"

"..."Batman" has only been in theaters for 4 days, so it's in the hot period!" Zhong Lifang continued: "Look at "Day and Night in Tianshuiwei". eat!"

"...Is the filming in Hong Kong so casual?"

"We sign four major schedules with the theaters every year, including Spring Festival, Easter, summer vacation, and Christmas. In the first week of the box office, 60% of the box office goes to the film side, and 40% goes to the theater side. There are 5 shows every day, but the publicity fee and copy costs are borne by the film side. Bear in mind, the 4:5 p.m. show and the late midnight show are divided at 5:5. If the show continues, the second week will be 5:4, the third week will be 6:3, the fourth week will be 7:2, and the fifth week will be 8:[-]...I don’t want to It's released, what can I do?"

"...Continue to buy movie theaters. Let me tell you that we must have at least 30 movie theaters, accounting for more than 40% of the market!"

"We are negotiating with Xinbao Cinemas to acquire it..."

"Hey, the theater chain established by the eight major film studios? How much is the asking price?"

"It's not expensive, it's tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. We're lowering the price. Xinbao has 6 theaters and 11 screening halls..."

"…so small?"

"I'm going to buy only movies produced by our company..."

"I heard that Anle Company has three theater chains. You are looking to see if there is any suitable one, and buy another one..."

"We are considering acquiring Huamao Cinema, UA Cinema..."

"You can figure it out for yourself, I only ask for 30 theaters, 40% of the market!"

"...Okay, I'll figure it out."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong was about to talk to Gao Fenfen about the release schedule of the three films "Hot Detective", "Geng Hao Returns to Hometown" and "Painted Skin"...

Next month, only one will be released at the end of the month. According to Shen Xudong's idea, "Geng Hao Returns to Hometown" will be released, and then the National Day schedule will focus on "Happy Skin", and "Hot Detective" will be released at the end of October...

"Cooperate with the release date in the United States!"

Gao Fenfen has a lot of opinions: "I don't agree, Jackie Chan has been on National Day for so many years, why did you release it at the end of October?"

"Didn't I say it? To match the US release date."

"Then why are we cooperating with them instead of them cooperating with us?"

"From "Red Fan District" to "Boxer", including "Taken", they are all released at the end of October. This is called a convention!"

Gao Fenfen still wanted to refuse, but Shen Xudong didn't give him a chance at all: "Let's make it so, I have the final say on this matter, there is no need to discuss it."

"You've made up your mind, and you're still looking for me?"

"Isn't this asking for your opinion..."

"... Don't ask me about the movie... No one is better than you!"

Gao Fenfen replied casually, and then remembered something: "The box office of "Exquisite Ancient City" exceeded 3 million. I heard from them that today's weekday, the single-day box office is still more than 3.5 million... Do you really think "Exquisite" Can "Ancient City" break through [-] million?"

"It's definitely possible, as long as "Red Cliff" can leave us with more than 15% of the film schedule."

"Okay, I'll go to the Film Bureau!"
