I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 111 Half a small goal

"Director Wan, did something happen?" Zeng Li asked worriedly when she saw Wan Qingshan hung up the phone and came back.

The phone call between Wan Qingshan and Zhang Zhao took a long time. It was not like they hung up the phone after talking about the box office in a few words yesterday, so Zeng Li thought that something had happened.

Yang Junyi also looked at Wanqing Mountain with a worried expression!
Although the two of them are not very career-minded, "Loyalty and Righteousness" has already made them famous, so of course they don't want anything to happen to the movie and cause them to go back to the past.

"It's nothing, I just had a few words with Mr. Zhang about something.

By the way, today’s box office was over 400 million, which is a bit low, but it’s still normal.The good box office on the first day is due to the good publicity during the release. The audience attracted by the publicity has watched it, so it is normal for the box office to be a little lower. "

Neither Zeng Li nor Yang Junyi believed that Wan Qingshan said it was okay. If it were okay, Wan Qingshan's smile would not be so forced.

But Wan Qingshan didn't say anything, and it was difficult for the two of them to ask further questions.

Later, Wan Qingshan called Zhang Jin to tell Today's Box Office, and then the three of Wan Qingshan finished their supper and went back to their rooms to rest.

When Wan Qingshan came out of the shower, he received a call from the staff of Anle Film and Television, telling him that the box office in Hong Kong today was 480 million!
Wan Qingshan thinks it's normal for Hong Kong Island's box office to rise instead of falling. The promotion of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" in Hong Kong Island is not as big as in the Mainland. The quality of the movie is good, so the box office will naturally rise in the first few days after its release.

The next day, Wan Qingshan, Zeng Li, and Yang Junyi finished their breakfast and continued the road show.

The road show was the same as yesterday, and the questions asked by reporters were all normal.

But unlike yesterday, where they all praised the movie for being wonderful, the audience began to ask questions.

The audience asked Wan Qingshan about the plot of the movie, "Why did Shi Hong cry when Mai Xinxin died?"Doesn't he hate Mai Xinxin? '

When Wan Qingshan was filming, he thought that some viewers would find this plot strange.Facing the audience's questions, he already had a draft in mind.

"Everyone has emotions. Shi Hong hated the old man, so he abused Mai Xinxin.

But Mai Xinxin has been by his side for so long, and there will always be some feelings after getting along for a long time, so when Mai Xinxin dies, he will shed tears!
Of course this is just one explanation, I have another explanation.

Shi Hong abused Mai Xinxin just like an old man abused Shi Hong.

From another perspective, although the old man was killed by Shi Hong, he came back to life in Shi Hong.

When Mai Xinxin died, the hatred in Shi Hong's heart disappeared, and the old man who lived in him also died.

Shi Hong was freed, so it was normal for him to cry!
Of course, it would be better if you have your own answer.After the movie is released, it not only belongs to the creator, but to everyone, and everyone has their own understanding. "

Wan Qingshan's explanation made the audience a little confused. At the same time, the audience couldn't help but marvel in their hearts, 'It turns out that "Loyalty and Loyalty" is so powerful, and the plot and characters are quite deep! '

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Wan Qingshan, Zeng Li, and Yang Junyi landed in Star City. Not long after they got off the plane, Zhang Zhao called.

"Director Wan, today's box office is almost the same as yesterday, 1410 million!"

Wan Qingshan doesn't pay much attention to the box office now. He now wants to know about the film schedule. He quickly asked,
"Mr. Zhang, how did you resolve the film scheduling issue?"

Zhang Zhao's hearty laughter immediately came from the phone, "Director Wan, don't worry, everything has been solved. Those theater chains will not only not reduce the film scheduling rate tomorrow, but will increase the film scheduling rate by 5%."

Wan Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your hard work!"

"Haha, why bother? It's just a gift of money."

Speaking of giving money, Wan Qingshan whispered, "Mr. Zhang, this incident should be caused by the grudge between Huayi and me. I will pay for the management expenses. After the movie is released, you will take my dividends." Button it in!"

After Zhang Zhao heard this, he really wanted to agree.

Those people showed the corruption of petty officials vividly, and those who managed it almost spent all the liquidity in Enlight Pictures' account.

But as Wang Changtian said before, this kind of thing will spread sooner or later.Now let Wan Qingshan pay for it. When Wan Qingshan knows that the other party is targeting Enlight Pictures, he will start arranging the film of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery". Then,,,,,

So, Zhang Zhao pretended to be generous and said, "Director Wan, since the film has been handed over to Enlight Pictures for distribution, the film schedule is the matter of Enlight Pictures, so this money cannot be paid by you. This money belongs to Enlight Pictures." Take responsibility.”

Wan Qingshan was a little surprised. He had been dealing with Zhang Zhao for a while, and Zhang Zhao didn't seem to be a generous person.

But since Enlight Pictures was willing to take charge of the money, Wan Qingshan didn't bother to think about why Zhang Zhao was so generous. He pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Mr. Zhang, how can you be so embarrassed!"

"Director Wan, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm doing this for the sake of the reputation of Enlight Pictures. Now that I've received the publicity fee, I can't take any more money from the producer. Otherwise, if word gets out, who will dare to hand over the film?" Let’s announce it to Enlight Pictures.”

Wan Qingshan now understands that Zhang Zhao is fighting for money. Zhang Zhao is buying money and reputation for Enlight Pictures!

"Mr. Zhang, let me thank you first!"

"Haha, Director Wan, there's nothing to be thankful for. This is what Enlight Pictures should do."

Afterwards, after a few polite words, the call ended. ,,,,,,,
On the evening of October 25, Wan Qingshan, Yang Junyi, Zeng Li, Zhang Jin, and Dong Xuan met at a hotel in Guangzhou.

After a few people chatted and laughed for a while, Zhang Jin, who had wanted to ask when they first met, couldn't bear it anymore.

"Director Wan, today's box office should be over 2000 million!"

On October 22, Zhang Zhao solved the problem of film scheduling. The next day, with the increase in film scheduling, the single-day box office rose to 1550 million.

Then October [-]rd is Friday!
Because it was Friday, the box office rose again to an increase of 1680 million.

On Saturday holidays, the box office increased significantly, with a single-day box office of 1910 million, breaking the single-day box office record set by "Heroes"!

This original record was broken last year by Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" with a box office of 2000 million in a single day.

But in this world, due to the competition with "The True Meaning of Love" on the same stage, "Kung Fu" has the highest single-day box office of just over 700 million.

"It should be no problem." Wan Qingshan replied happily.

Ever since the single-day box office hit 1910 million yesterday, Wan Qingshan has been smiling.

The total box office has reached nearly 30 million in just five days since its release. Generally speaking, the first week box office of a movie accounts for about 40%-2.5% of the total box office. Normally, if the first week of a movie reaches [-] million, the total box office should reach about [-] million.

However, these are statistics made ten years later. There will be no pirated discs in ten years. If there are pirated discs, they will be stolen videos that appear on the Internet. The definition is poor and it will not affect the box office very much.

Nowadays, pirated discs exist, which has a great impact on the box office.

Although Wan Qingshan spent 200 million to prevent piracy, it could only be a temporary prevention.

Later, when more people come into contact with film copies, pirated copies will definitely leak out, and the box office will definitely plummet by then.

But no matter how low it is, a total box office of [-] million shouldn’t be a big problem.

The 1000 million promotional fee for "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" was calculated in advance.So, if the box office of [-] million is divided into the hands of the producers, it should be more than [-] million.

The price of the Japanese and Korean distribution rights has exceeded the cost of filming, and the more than 8000 million yuan is all profit.

If you add in the Hong Kong box office, copyrights in Southeast Asian countries, and domestic audio and video copyrights, the total profit will definitely exceed [-] million.

Half and half, Wan Qingshan took 5000 million, and in 2005, he would be able to earn half a small profit from one movie. Wan Qingshan couldn't help but be unhappy.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Jin and others gathered in Wanqingshan's room, waiting for Zhang Zhao's call to report today's box office.

Zhang Jin and Dong Xuan are not like Yang Junyi and Zeng Li. They are career-oriented and their eyes look at the mobile phones on the coffee table from time to time.

At nearly twelve o'clock, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang. As soon as Wan Qingshan picked up the mobile phone and connected it, Zhang Zhao's hearty laughter came from the mobile phone.

"Haha, Director Wan, today's box office is 2040 million, breaking the single-day box office record again!"

Immediately, Zhang Zhao stopped laughing and exclaimed, "Director Wan, "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave" is the first movie to have a box office of over 2000 million in a single day. This can leave a name in domestic film history!"

Wan Qingshan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard the words "The film history will leave a name". Last time in "Heart", Lu Ben told him that the film history will have a name.

Now here comes another person who has left his name in the history of film, and there are almost no more names in the history of film!

"Mr. Zhang, congratulations, Enlight Pictures has made its name in film history." Wan Qingshan smiled dryly.

Listening to Wan Qingshan's tone, there was no trace of excitement, but rather a lack of interest. Zhang Zhao was a little confused.

But he didn't think much about it, just thinking that Wan Qingshan was tired from the road show.

Wan Qingshan was not interested, and Zhang Zhao was not interested in talking anymore.

"Director Wan, I have nothing to do here. If you have nothing to do over there, I won't disturb you."

"Mr. Zhang, I have nothing to do here, so let's do this for now."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan, Zhang Jin and others talked about the box office and then rushed them back to their respective rooms.

After Wan Qingshan finished taking a bath, Anle Pictures called and told them that the box office of Hong Kong Island was 340 million, and also communicated that Wan Qingshan and his party would go to Hong Kong Island.

Then, Wan Qingshan lay on the bed and called Chen Yumo. He talked on the phone for a while before hanging up and going to sleep.
