This director needs to apologize

Chapter 35 Box office champion looks forward to the red carpet
In his previous life, Chen Yiming was deeply addicted to entertainment-type online novels for a while.

Maybe it’s because he himself has always been a scapegoat and a scapegoat in life, so he looks for the faith to persevere in the protagonist of the fictional online article.

Facts have proved that YY’s things belong to YY after all.

The fame described in online articles does not exist in reality.

In this time and space, he successfully made his first movie in two lifetimes, and it was quite popular after it was released. However, the impact on him as a director was minimal.

Guyuehe was promoted to a celebrity status, Lily-Collin was the one who became popular, and Ma Yunteng was the one who shocked the industry. Even the owner of the treasure-digging platform selling princess suits and the merchant selling the "Hello" e-mule made a fortune. Pen.

There is only Chen Yiming, still Chen Yiming.

Of course, he himself doesn't really care.

Filmmaking itself is a very consuming task. If a director does not have an urgent desire to express his inner feelings and simply takes on a task and directs a play, this job will not have much intoxicating charm.

Chen Yiming can't be like the protagonist in the novel. After finishing one movie, he starts planning for the next one before it is released, or even prepares two movies at the same time for a double release. That is too anti-human.

His current state is probably the "sage's time" when his wish came true. He lazily doesn't want to do anything and just wants to stay at home.

After staying at home for three days, he simply gave himself an annual leave and went back to his hometown to see his parents in this time and space.

The life trajectory of the old couple has not changed much. They also retired early and were lucky enough to escape the wave of layoffs. They spend their days pondering some personal hobbies, and Chen Yiming does not need to worry about their lives at all.

After hanging around at home for two weeks, he finally remembered that he still had a full-time job as the general manager of Platinum Media when the resentful Xiaomei called.

At noon on another Monday, Chen Yiming, who had sneaked back to the Magic City, ran to the park cafeteria to eat. He was about to get up when he was full of soup and rice, when he saw Da Zhuang coming in through the gate in a hurry.

He stood still and searched around, then quickly came over and pulled Chen Yiming up and walked out. As he walked, he said, "You are big-hearted enough to leave such a big stall to me. Lao Gu and Lili are more interested in me than you are." !”

Chen Yiming was staggered by the drag, but he didn't care, "I've already spent all my money, how can I still be interested in it?"

"Mission: Impossible 3 was released last week, and our film schedule is going to drop this week. Even Lao Gong and Lao Zhang said they couldn't help."

"Fat and Thin Toutuo is interesting enough. You are only thinking about the film being released. Why don't you remember that you mentioned it before?"

After returning to the office and sitting down, Chen Yiming took the initiative and arranged a job for Ma Yunteng first.

"There's no need to mess around with useless things now. It's business for you to increase the pressure on the Phantom Publishing Department and quickly get the extension key."

Ma Yunteng rubbed his scalp and looked embarrassed.

"Tie Zhu, even if you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have missed it.

But it is indeed difficult. There are so many big productions in December that you have to move forward to watch even Jie Ge’s movies.

It's not impossible to have to postpone it, but it just doesn't work out well. A single-digit film schedule can't squeeze out much money, and the favor is wasted and it makes the industry disgusted. "

Chen Yiming spread his hands and said, "We can't let it go unless it's postponed. Who told the Montreal Film Festival to end on the 13th next month?"

I promised Sister Shen all my overseas rights and interests before, but before they could reach an agreement on cooperation, we released the movie first. Does this scene make sense?
Besides, the attendance rate of our movie is pretty good. It shouldn’t drop below 3% in the fourth week. The postponement is justified, right?

The film festival opens this Saturday, which happens to be the last weekend of the screening of "Holiday". When Lao Gu and Lily appear on the red carpet, and arrange a few more interviews, there will be another big wave. heat.

Shen Pengfei has made arrangements in Montreal. Regardless of the scene, the Maple Leafs and Nuts media must have received rave reviews. "

Ma Yunteng asked suspiciously, "The price charged by the foreign devils is quite high. How much of the remaining promotion fee will be enough?"

Chen Yiming smiled meaningfully, "Fu Rui, Sister Shen has the whole story anyway, otherwise why would I promise her such a high score?"

Master Teng was once again deceived by Chen Yiming, and he was ready to start a new round of flying around the country.

Counting the preview screenings, this is already the third round.

Chen Yiming then called Xiangrui and Tang Song, and finally confirmed Guyuehe and Lily's weekend itinerary.

Check the email again to see the latest data.

Huh?There is nothing to do again.

Life is really lonely as snow.

……

According to the latest data released by the China Film Bureau, in 2009, there were about 1700 theaters in mainland China with 5000 screens.

Based on the calculation that a single theater has 150 seats, each theater schedules 5 shows, and each movie ticket costs 30 yuan, the average daily box office peak of a single film can reach about 1 million.

So what is China’s current single-day box office record?
Opening day box office record, 3340 million.First week box office record, 1.35 million.

They are 1/3 and 1/5 of the theoretical peak value respectively.

The data actually roughly fit the theoretical model.

Because if we simplify the data, the theater is actually only open for most of the night a day, with an average of two screenings in a single hall.

It's only open two and a half days a week, two days on the weekend, plus half a day on Friday night and Tuesday half-price day.

Therefore, the attendance rate that theaters and theater chains are concerned about is the average attendance rate of two shows on weekend nights, not the overall average attendance rate.

"Holiday" has been in theaters for two and a half weeks.

The box office on the first day exceeded 1200 million, reaching [-] million.

The first film by a new director has a box office of over [-] million, so it stands to reason that Chen Yiming should become a small hit.

However, the public opinion has not yet fully fermented. The overwhelming publicity of "Love to Death" has already reached its peak, and Chen Yiming, a newbie, has been thrown out of the media.

In the first five days of the week, the box office of "Holiday" rose to 5 million, surpassing the 4000 million of "Love to Death" to become the champion of the week.

However, a big fight brought "Love Till Death" back to the spotlight.

After failing at the box office, actor Lin Feipeng blamed director and actress Gong Rui. The latter not only fought back, but also dragged producer Wang Yibai off the stage.

The king of the imperial circle took it easy. Taking advantage of the heat, he decisively turned his gun on "Holiday in the City". He dissed the other party's "large-scale test screening" under his real name and disrupted the market order. He also flooded the box office and stole "Love to Death" 》week champion.

The media likes this kind of drama the most. As the producer of "Holiday in Magic City", Ma Yunteng once again enjoyed the treatment of a flashlight to protect his body.

The king handed over the olive branch, and the pony must accept the feather.

Don’t be too excited to work together to stir up the topic and reap the box office results of [-], [-], [-] and [-]!
Master Teng was deeply influenced by his family background, so of course he would not misjudge Wang Yibai's intentions.

After all the arguing, director Chen Yiming forgot about it again.

After 12 days of release the following week, the box office of "Holiday in the Magic City" exceeded 7000 million, retaining the title of weekly champion.

7 million in 3000 days, this may be the most impressive weekly crown this year.

The newly released domestic films were all rookies, and there happened to be no Hollywood blockbusters. The only Hong Kong film was an art film, so "Holiday in the City" was once again a success.

"Love Till Death" barely managed to pass the 5000 million mark, but it was no longer able to continue.

The negative reviews of the movie finally became uncontrollable and began to spread. Compared with the drama version of "Love", there was a clear dislocation in reputation.

Netizens put it right, it’s not just adding the word “until death” to the title of the drama, the hero and heroine love each other to the death, which can move people.

What’s even more funny is that the heroine was terminally ill and depressed from the beginning of the movie, but she didn’t die until the end.

You know, what is more uncomfortable than death is the fuss about life and death.

The name Chen Yiming will finally be mentioned in media reports and netizen discussions, but mainly as an image of a lucky man.

In the third week, "Holiday in the Magic City" continued to maintain a smooth decline, with a total box office exceeding 20 million in 9000 days of release.

Not surprisingly, the weekly champion was picked by "Mission: Impossible 3".

After all, it is an action blockbuster starring Hollywood superstar Jerry Cross. Director Wu Kesen's previous film once won the annual global box office championship. It is not something that a cookie like "Holiday" can challenge.

However, "Holiday in Magic" achieved 2000 million in a single week, still ranking second in the box office list that week.

Before our eyes, the four-week screening period is over, and it is certain that it will exceed [-] million.

As the director of "Holiday in the Magic City", Chen Yiming finally has some discussion value.

Although directors in the Billion Dollar Club are no longer new in recent years, Chen Yiming is the only director who has joined the club with his debut film.

At this time, the reporters tried to contact Bo Jue to interview Chen Yiming, but found that they could not find anyone.

On December 12, Chen Yiming flew to Montreal, the Maple Leaf Country.

No one can stop him from walking on the red carpet for the first time in his life.
