Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 336 This is a movie that attracts a lot of viewers.

"Brothers, I'm sorry. My movie "My Fathers and I" may be released on May Day. I want to say sorry to everyone."

Because it is a temporary queue.

Although Chen Cheng is a big shot in the industry, he still greeted a number of producers.

We are all in the same circle.

Even if you have never met each other, you have heard each other's name.

"Director Chen, you're welcome. What are you talking about? Since you want to release the film, we'll give way to you. It's nothing."

"Yes, thank you Director Chen for giving us your popular schedule."

"Director Chen, there's no need to apologize to us. It's your choice no matter when you release the film. However, we are still very grateful for your care for us before."

"No doubt about it, this May Day slot must be given to Director Chen."

I've been filming for so many years.

Chen Cheng not only set a number of domestic box office records.

This also established Chen Cheng's great character.

No matter if it’s someone you know or not, someone you’re familiar with or not.

Even Chen Cheng showed up.

A number of producers who had originally planned to release their films during the May Day period have chosen to withdraw their schedules.

Ok.

They greeted me in advance.

Why not withdraw the file?

Do you still want to fight with Chen Cheng?

just.

Chen Cheng didn't expect this either.

He just said a few words in the circle, but when he looked at the May Day schedule again, he found that all the films from May 1st to 3rd had been withdrawn.

In other words.

Currently, from May 1st to 3rd, there is only one movie released in the market.

That is Chen Cheng's "My Fathers and Me".

"Oh my god, everyone, everyone has withdrawn from the show."

"Yeah, if I don't retreat, you'll kill me."

"I'm not that scary."

"Of course you think so, but in our eyes, you are so terrifying."

"Uh……"

He spread his hands.

Chen Cheng had no choice.

Just before he was about to say hello, he thought that some films with average production quality would be withdrawn.

After all, there are so many films during the May Day holiday, so we can still keep a few.

But unexpectedly, all of them have withdrawn from the schedule now.

As a result, his is the only film in the entire schedule.

Even though it's only 3 days.

But these three days were enough to shock me.

……

of course.

This situation was also discovered by the media and movie fans.

I saw that from May Day slots 1 to 3, the only movie showing was "My Fathers and Me" by Chen Cheng.

A group of movie fans rubbed their eyes, thinking they were dazzled.

But after looking at it again, I was sure that it was not my eyes playing tricks on me, it was real.

Some friends who didn't believe it even called all the major cinema chains.

One question confirmed it again.

Yes.

There is only one movie.

As for other movies, they have all been withdrawn.

"Chen Cheng is mighty."

"Yeah, I saw it. After Chen Cheng's appearance, all the movies were withdrawn from the schedule, 2333..."

"There's nothing we can do. Chen Cheng's strength is there. If they don't withdraw the film, their movie will definitely fail."

Many people were at a loss whether to laugh or cry when they saw this situation.

However, this kind of scene was something they had never seen in their lives.

"Let's go, let's watch Chen Cheng's "My Fathers and Me" together."

"Well, although I don't know what this film is about, Chen Cheng's fame is there."

"Hahaha, now it doesn't matter whether Chen Cheng is famous or not. Anyway, there is only one movie. You have to watch it whether you want to or not."

……

"Chen Cheng, you are awesome! All your peers have withdrawn their films after it was released."

Seeing the empty May Day schedule, Han Sanping was a little irritated and called Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng replied somewhat helplessly: "How could I know that everyone would withdraw their films? It puts me under a lot of pressure. If the film is not good, I will be scolded to death by everyone."

"Why are you different from what everyone else thinks?"

"how?"

"We are all wondering, since you are the only movie in the May Day period, how much box office revenue you will generate."

"..."

Chen Cheng touched his head and said, "I really haven't thought about it."

"Look at you... But it's true. Anyway, no one has broken your box office record yet."

Han Sanping said: "But don't you estimate it."

"I can't estimate. I'm just worried that if the filming is not good, I will be scolded by everyone."

"You really, really pissed me off."

I hung up the phone feeling a little depressed.

Han Sanping started chatting with Huang Jianxin: "How much box office do you think Chen Cheng's May Day movie "My Fathers and I" will generate?"

"It's hard to say. It will definitely exceed 1 million on the st, but I don't know how much it will exceed."

"I think that breaking 1.5 million is a piece of cake. million is even possible?"

"More."

"If it were a normal day, there would probably be more. But now it's the May Day holiday, and there's only one movie of his."

"That's true, but just one movie may not be able to attract all fans. How should I put it? I think this has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it will definitely break the previous daily box office record, and the disadvantage is that there is only one movie. I talked to Wang Changtian a few days ago, and he said that the total daily box office data for the May Day holiday this year will exceed 2 million... But if there is only one movie, the daily box office data will probably drop a lot."

Everyone knows the truth.

Chen Cheng is very famous, but it is impossible for him to attract all the audience.

Every movie has its own audience.

Some like to watch urban comedies.

Some people like to watch historical costumes.

Some people like to watch love stories... or something like that.

The more segmentation there is, the more moviegoers can enter the cinema.

But there is only one movie, "My Fathers and Me" by Chen Cheng. Although this movie will be popular at the box office, it will also affect the total sales data.

just.

What the two didn't know was.

sometimes.

For some films, he cannot make predictions based on common sense.

……

Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye, it was April 4th.

After 12 o'clock at night, it will be May 5st.

After entering 2010.

Midnight shows at major cinemas across the country are becoming increasingly popular.

On the one hand, this is due to the rise of domestic films, and on the other hand, it is also due to the extremely active domestic economy.

In many parts of the country.

There are still countless friends who did not fall asleep at midnight.

Especially those large cities.

we can even say.

0 o'clock may be the beginning of their nightlife.

As the only movie in the May Day period, "My Fathers and Me" was released in all qualified theaters at 0:.

A bunch of sleepless night owls.

They were already waiting in the cinema lobby before midnight.

"Come on, let's go watch "My Fathers and Me" tonight."

"Why do you have to go so late? Can't you watch it tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow you think there will be a place."

"There's only one movie showing here. There can be ten screenings a day."

"You wish. A movie lasts two hours. In addition to the one at midnight, the rest has to be shown at 0 noon. From 12 noon to 12 midnight, there are only 12 hours. A maximum of 12 shows can be shown, plus the one at midnight, which means 6 shows. In fact, 0 shows is not possible because we need to clean up and clear the place in between... etc. A maximum of 1 shows can be shown."

“Six games is a lot.”

“For others it’s a lot, but you also have to see whose movie it is.”

"Whose movie?"

"It's Chen Cheng's."

"Oh, I heard he's quite famous."

"It's quite famous. If it weren't so famous, why would other movies be withdrawn? It's because they are scared."

One of the fans pulled another friend and hurried to the cinema.

But what this movie fan didn't expect was.

When he arrived near the cinema, he saw people coming and going near the cinema. "Why is it so busy today?"

"You know now, hurry upstairs."

"Well, I guess I won't be able to buy a ticket."

Watching the movie hall filled with people.

This fan knows.

They don't stand a chance tonight at midnight.

……

"Chen Cheng is Chen Cheng. It brought tears to my eyes."

"Not only did it bring tears to my eyes, but it was also full of laughter and hope."

"Me too. This is the most bizarre movie I've ever seen, but also the best."

The midnight hour passed quietly.

Countless movie fans fell asleep with great satisfaction.

It's just that it's a little late.

Their comments, their excitement, their boiling blood... did not reflect in the media so quickly.

the next day.

Wake up.

A group of media, including many friends, discovered something that shocked them greatly.

"2000."

This is the box office of "My Fathers and Me".

"I am not wrong, right."

Some people in the industry think that this box office was a mistake.

Because they know.

"My Fathers and Me" had no advance screenings before, and it only started showing at 0: last night.

This was only shown once.

How is it possible to have 2000 million?

but.

When they realized that this was real data.

They opened Maoyan again to buy tickets.

They discovered.

On that day, almost all the movie tickets for the five time slots in major cinemas were sold out.

"Oh my god, who bought the movie tickets?"

"There is only one movie on May Day, and it's all sold out. How horrible!"

“I want to say, is this a robot, or did so many people really buy it?”

No need to doubt.

Where are the robots?

As long as you enter the cinema, you will find it at this time.

The cinema was almost full of people.

As for the reason.

Need I say more?

They can generate 2000 million in box office during the midnight period. Do you think they will leave a spot for you during other better time slots?

……

"Old Huang, I think your prediction may be wrong."

The time came to 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

Watching "My Fathers and Me" which has already broken the 1 million box office, Han Sanping's mouth twitched.

He guessed a lot, but he never expected that the box office of "My Fathers and Me" would be so horrible.

It's only 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

There are still 6 hours before the box office for the day ends.

But at this time, the box office had already exceeded 1 million.

In other words.

In the next 6 hours, he might have to...

“I’m old.”

Huang Jianxin was also stunned and could only sigh.

"There are still 6 hours left. How high do you think it will reach?"

"I dare not say, what do you think?"

"I dare not say."

The two of them kept their mouths shut.

But at this time.

Almost the entire network is paying attention to the box office of "My Fathers and Me".

"Why is the difference between people so obvious? Some films can't even make 30 million yuan in 1 days. Some people can make million yuan in just one day."

"You are out of date. Today's amount is not just 1 million."

"I know. It's 1.5 million now."

Many people were amazed.

A box office of 1 million in one day is even faster than a printing machine.

Such a number also completely exceeded their three views.

But they know better.

1.5 million is not the end of the day.

"Brothers, don't tell me that Chen Cheng's movie will break 2 million box office today."

“Now it’s 1.6 million.”

"..."

……

"Kaige, come on, have you seen Chen Cheng's "My Fathers and Me"?"

"I wanted to go and see it, but I couldn't buy a ticket."

"You still need to buy tickets. Ask Chen Cheng how many you want."

"I guess Chen Cheng can't get a ticket now."

"Hahaha."

Several old classmates from Beijing Film Academy, including Chen Kaige, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Li Shaohong, had a small gathering.

Seeing that the box office of "My Fathers and I" has exceeded 1.8 million, Li Shaohong said: "It's incredible. The box office is now 1.8 million. After 12 o'clock, it will definitely exceed million."

"Two hundred million in box office revenue per day. Basically, it can be said that Chen Cheng's movie has sucked away all the volume."

"Yes, many media outlets previously said that since there was only one movie released during the May Day holiday, the overall box office data would drop significantly. Looking back now, they still underestimated Chen Cheng."

"Brother Kai, handsome man, why don't you say anything?"

Li Shaohong looked at Brother Chen Kai.

Brother Chen Kai was silent for a moment, then said, "I was wondering how Chen Cheng's film could be so popular."

Volume absorption is a term in the film industry.

Corresponding to this, there is another one called retention.

The so-called volume-attracting means that this film is very attractive and can attract people to the cinema as soon as they see it.

Another retention factor is word of mouth.

Even if the volume is not very good, if the retention is good, then this movie will be quite worthwhile.

But for people in the circle.

The weight of attracting volume is still greater than retention.

No matter how good the retention is, it will not be able to stand out if it does not attract traffic.

But there is also a problem with attracting volume.

Because for each movie, each movie has a corresponding type and theme.

For example, urban romance, history, costume, martial arts, police and gangster films... and so on.

These categories are pretty good though.

But every category has a fixed group of fans.

In other words.

No matter how well he shoots in a certain category, it is impossible for him to please everyone.

and so.

There is a certain upper limit to the amount of traffic that each category can absorb.

Just like the upper limit of police and gangster films is the total box office of 10 billion.

No matter how well you shoot it, the box office revenue is estimated to be around 10 billion yuan.

But look now.

Chen Cheng's film seems to have broken the limitations of classification and attracted unlimited attention.

"I'm confused too."

Li Shaohong also said: "Logically speaking, it's impossible. Could it be that this movie is really so classic?"

“It’s definitely a good shot, but I think it’s more than just a good shot.”

After Brother Chen Kai finished speaking, he said, "Shaohong, do you still remember the main theme that Chen Cheng told us about before?"

"Of course I remember. He said that mainstream themes will have a huge market in the future. Oh, yes, this movie, My Fathers and I, is also a mainstream theme."

"Correct."

Brother Chen Kai nodded, but said: "Maybe we didn't fully understand what Chen Cheng said at that time."

"Brother Kai, what do you mean?"

Brother Chen Kai took out his cell phone.

I checked the box office of "My Fathers and Me".

2 million.

Seeing that My Fathers and I had already grossed over 24 million yuan in the past 2 hours, Chen Kai said excitedly, "I think what Chen Cheng meant is that the main theme is not only a market, but the main theme is the market that attracts the most traffic."
