Chapter 590 Wins word of mouth, loses box office

"Hopefully, the box office results can be justified."

After a period of excitement, Little John, who was sitting in the middle with Xiang Yang, sounded more expectant.

150 million euro investment
Compared with "Warring States" which has not been released for a long time.

The movie "The Piano of Steel" deserves much more attention in his eyes.

Because, the bonus was just issued.

"What, are you stressed?" Xiang Yang, who sat down, glanced sideways and whispered.

"No, how is that possible?" Little John shook his head.

After participating in the Tokyo International Film Festival, the film will be released in Europe and North America one after another.

There are many channels for recovering investment.

It’s just a matter of how much you earn.

Like "Legal Copy."

Highly acclaimed in Cannes, Juliette Binoche also won Europe's triple gold 'Grand Slam'.

However, after the movie was released, it was not well received, and its box office performance in many countries was disastrous.

But looking through the financial reports carefully, Hermès Film Investment Company did not lose any money, and even made some profits.

It's just that the payback cycle is a bit slow.

Movies are definitely not as simple as just looking at box office results.

Of course.

Everyone likes to see a good box office.

Who would be willing to do favors and sell various copyrights when they can make money easily?
But just looking at the genre of "The Piano", Little John had already known that this movie would most likely be similar to "Legal Copy".

If you need to make money, it will probably take a while.

As for why you still go to such trouble when you know the benefits are not big.

On a more minor note, I think it would be a good idea to get the rights to this movie.

But actually.

It is for the future layout of Hermès Film Investment Company in the Chinese film market.

The next one is Liu Qianqian’s movie.

You must first make the audience familiar with it and leave an impression. You can't wait for everything.

Just like this time.

With his efforts and the help of Han Sanping, Gang's Qin found 113 cinemas for a joint screening on Friday night.

The next two days of Saturday and Sunday will be appropriately spread out.

so. These three days are very critical.

If it works, it will continue, if not.
Staring at the screen in front of him, Little John thought about his next plan.

"I hope so." Xiangyang nodded slightly.

He also expected this level.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been clamoring to toast these cinema chain bosses during dinner.

After all, Hermes Film Investment Company is also part of the industry he is responsible for.

He doesn't like losing face in front of outsiders.

Especially, his wife's face is also lost.

As soon as Little John nodded, the lights in the screening room dimmed.

As the screen fades to black, the dragon logo appears.

The logos of the CC standard collection were lit up successively in Liaoning Studio, and "The Piano of Steel" officially kicked off
113 movie theaters will start showing premieres at around 8 p.m.

As of 12 o'clock, there are only more than 200 films scheduled.

box office
Compared with the excitement created by Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian, and the good reputation among the media who came to report, the invited film critics and the audience who watched the premiere.

It can be said that it is really terrible!

The box office result was just over 30 yuan.

In the Internet age, such contradictory news spreads quickly.

Before the editors from the entertainment section appeared, someone had already started writing jokes on the night scarf.

"CC is acclimatized, just like the opening scene of a movie"

"You have a unique vision but ended up with a junk product. Is "The Piano of Steel" a failure or a failure?"

"The box office is the box office, don't talk about useless things."

"."

Needless to say, the person who wrote these words is actually someone who watched the movie "The Piano" at first glance.

Or is it
In short, no matter what it is, the box office of just over 30 yuan really made the big and small kings of Huayi extremely happy.

Wang Zhongjun, who was in Beijing, even opened a bottle of champagne at home alone to express his congratulations after seeing such box office statistics.

However, he had a long memory and did not dare to post the photos online.

The premiere of "The Piano" was a success.

The movie itself is very beautiful.

Many people online took the initiative to promote this movie.

But the box office on the first day was due to this virtue.

Even if you count the individual sessions after 12 o'clock and the results included in all-night sessions, the improvement is minimal.

The next day.

Various domestic entertainment reports not only reported on the premiere of "The Piano" but also commented on the theme and content of the movie.

It also made judgments on box office expectations.

Congratulations on the content of the movie.

But he is very pessimistic about the box office trend.

It is almost unanimously agreed that the filming schedule of "The Piano" is really terrible.

And there is another point of consensus, that is, as the National Day holiday is approaching, there is not much time left for "The Piano of Steel".

After working the night shift, he pushed his bicycle into the courtyard gate and saw Xiangyang sleepily eating breakfast with his daughter-in-law.

Lao Xiang took out the newspaper from the car basket and asked, "Son, I heard that your movie results were not good? Can you sit still?"

"Dad, you're back." Liu Qianxi stood up and greeted her father-in-law.

Under Xiangyang's influence, she also called her parents when she came back this time.

"Hey, Sissi, we are having breakfast. Where is your mother-in-law?" Lao Xiang smiled and put the newspaper on the table, no longer caring about the movie.

"She is teasing Muxin and Zhiyin."

After Liu Qianqian finished speaking with a smile, she quickly got up and brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks over to invite her father-in-law to have breakfast with her.

"This will pay off."

After Xiang Yang yawned, he glanced at the newspaper on the table.

Um. This box office is low enough.

But it's not much different from the number I expected from Han Sanping yesterday.

Ignoring his son, Lao Xiang quickly took the dishes and chopsticks from his daughter-in-law's hands and asked with a smile:

"Sissi, where are you going to take Mu Xin and Zhiyin to play today?"

"Where are we going?" Liu Qianqian thought for a while. It was a big weekend and there were many things that couldn't be done.

In addition to having a dinner party tonight.

There's really nothing to do during the day.

"How about we go burn incense together, or go to the botanical garden?" Lao Xiang suggested.

These two places are right at your doorstep.

You can go there on foot.

Before Liu Qianqian could speak, Xiang Yang directly interrupted: "Stop making trouble. If she goes and is seen by others, you will be the one to cry."

"Hey, when I saw Sissi and my two eldest granddaughters, it was too late for me to laugh."

Lao Xiang glanced at his son with disgust.

Xiang Yang grinned, looked at Liu Qianqian who was embarrassed to refuse, and said, "Don't make things easy."

"I, I know."

Liu Qianqian frowned.

It stands to reason.

She had not returned to the country to see her elders for a long time, so she should not refuse her father-in-law's kindness.

but
"Dad, how about I get up early tomorrow and let's go hiking together?" Liu Qianqian clapped her hands briskly when she remembered that her father-in-law would have a rest tomorrow.

"Okay, okay, hiking is good." Lao Xiang nodded with a smile from ear to ear.

My daughter-in-law is still considerate.

How could he be like this brat who could count on his fingers the number of times he had climbed Xiangshan Mountain with him when he grew up?

"Then I'll have a good rest today and regain my energy." After saying that, he looked at his son again and asked:
"What I just asked you, you haven't answered me yet?"

Xiang Yang was stunned, what did you ask me just now?
After a few seconds, he smiled and said: "If the father doesn't support me, then it makes sense for others not to see it."

"Hey, don't say that. I'm helping you at work today. When they come to me with their movie tickets, I'll reimburse them."

Lao Xiang said, took out his bulging wallet from his police uniform, slapped it on the table, and said with a smile:
"When Sissi's movie is released, I will go and support it."

"Dad, I'll invite you to see them then." Liu Qianqian smiled happily. She liked Xiangyang's parents' simple but heartwarming behavior very much.

Because it's very real.

"Let me tell you something quietly, your mother-in-law was also recruiting people from her workplace to support your movie last night." Lao Xiang said, the smile on his face getting wider.

"It's not mine." Liu Qianqian covered her mouth and said with a chuckle, "Dad, this movie belongs to my friend."

"What's your friend's is yours."

Almost at the same time.

QQ group.

Early in the morning, many people were also discussing enthusiastically.

"For those of you who are in Beijing, did you form a group today and spend 40 yuan to watch "The Piano of Steel" in the cinema?"

"Brother Yang, why don't you organize football today?"

"What kind of football are you playing? For a change, today I'm going to cultivate my sentiments and see if my wife and I are on the right track."

"Watching movies is the best way to cultivate your sentiments? You don't want to fall in love, do you?"

"Shit! Stop talking nonsense. Are you going?"

"Go on, my sister-in-law said this movie is good, can I support it?"

Two sports fans were chatting when a netizen in the group who was also in Beijing but was just a simple fan of Liu Qianqian asked:

"Are you going to support "The Piano of Steel"? Can you count me in?"

"Count me in, count me in, I'm going to take a look today. If it doesn't look good, I can avoid pitfalls in the future."

"Yes, they say that Sissi is going to make a movie, and it is probably of this type. So I might as well experience it first, so as not to waste my money later."

"Anyone in the family could give me an idea. My dad insisted on taking him to see a movie recommended by my wife Liu Qianqian. What newspaper said it."

"It's over. My mother also shouted to go and see it. She was still talking about it in the morning that it was hard to make money in the early 90s. Brothers and sisters in the group, is it true?"

"My mother was laid off at that time. What impressed me the most was..."

"There are also people who have made a fortune, just like in movies there are many people who sell fake medicines."

"Have you ever played "Inception" together for the second time?"

"I made an appointment with my girlfriend to watch "Hawthorn Tree Love". Next time Liu Qianqian's movie is released, I will support it."

"There are so few movie schedules."

"."

Very strange.

Such discussions do not only occur in the QQ group of Liu Qianqian fans.

In some QQ groups dedicated to talking about sports, such discussions are more intense.

In particular, in the group of the Italian Serie A club that had just been involved with Xiang Yang some time ago, many people who were used to making plans for a football game on weekends were discussing whether they should go to the cinema to support the movie.

They are not targeting Liu Qianqian or "The Piano of Steel".

But simply, I want to support Xiang Yang.

"If you don't go and I don't go, when will Xiang Yang raise his head?"

"Brothers, 40 yuan is a lot of money, but it's not too much. The media said that Xiang Yang made a mistake this time. If he is held accountable, everyone will stop worrying about the club's affairs in the future."

"Haha, I don't have to spend money. Our Anta Group has arranged to book the venue. But according to rumors, the club has really been mentioned. I have a friend in the bank who said that Anta will make big moves next."

"Really? Are you really going to buy the club? Then I'm going to support it."

"Have you mentioned which luxury brand to buy?"

"This is really possible. Didn't you see that Xiang Yang went to AC Milan with the boss of Anta? It seems that neither his son nor daughter like football."

"Oh no! It can't be AC! What about our big Inter Milan!"

"."

"Husband, take a look, can you recognize me?"

Liu Qianqian summed up her experience and changed her look again today.

"It's hard to say."

Xiang Yang, who felt that no matter how Liu Qianqian dressed up, she could be recognized by others at a glance, he spread his hands and said, "Why don't you go buy a cup of coffee with me first? If the clerk doesn't recognize you, maybe."

"Just drink coffee."

Liu Qianqian muttered, then ran to the mirror and took a look.

They all become mothers.

Can't take any time off at all
