After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 91: Going against the tide, box office limit

On May 5, Li Mingyang continued his roadshow in Yanbei.

After the morning roadshow ended, Wang Changtian called Li Mingyang and told him that the first day box office was 110 million, 70 in the mainland and 40 in Hong Kong.

The box office is okay, so there's no problem making back the investment, the only question is how much profit can be made.

On May 5, the next day's box office of "A Bouquet of Love" in mainland China was released, which was 3.

Steady growth.

Compared with the mediocre box office, Douban released its score, with more than 9.0 people giving it a score of !

Although the number of people who rate movies is small, Douban, as a barometer of movie reputation, has a huge influence on the mainstream movie-watching population.

With a score of 9.0, this is undoubtedly a movie worth watching in this era when moviegoers are very demanding about movies.

Many film critics started buying tickets to see this highly rated movie.

However, what is confusing is that "A Bouquet of Love" was only shown in Wanda Cinemas and not in other cinemas.

There is no other way. If the critic wants to publish the review early to show off, he has to go to Wanda to grab tickets.

It’s not so bad in big cities, but in small cities, Wanda Cinemas only have one show a day, and you can’t get a ticket on the same day, you can only get one a few days later.

On this day, the May Day period welcomed Wolverine's "Wolverine", and all other movies released during the same period had their screening schedules reduced.

The already limited screening schedule of "A Bouquet of Love" was also cut by one third.

On May 5, all theaters under Shanghai Film Group Corporation screened Bouquet of Flowers. Not only did the original number of screenings of Bouquet of Flowers return to normal, but one hundred more screenings were added.

Because Bouquet of Flowers reached an astonishing box office of 140 million on the third day.

With a 10% screening rate on the first day, 9% on the second day, and 6% on the third day, the mainland box office reached 300 million in the first weekend!
……

Behind the movie box office and screening schedule, there is actually another "front" hidden.

This "front line" is the production and distribution of film copies.

Most audiences do not understand this link, but it is very important. It directly determines whether the theater can normally show the movies that the audience wants to watch during the movie release period.

In 04, domestic film copies began to be digitized, gradually getting rid of the original film copies.

As of today in 09, almost all mainstream cinema chains have completed digital theaters. The size of movie copies has become smaller, only the size of a mobile hard drive, with lower costs and easier transportation and storage.

Copies are not distributed randomly, but the distributor is responsible for making the copies, scheduling the releases, and sending the copies to theaters.

"A Bouquet of Love" did not have a distributor at the beginning. Wanda was responsible for the copying, which was then scheduled and the copies were sent to theaters in the Wanda Cinema Line.

After Guangxian participated in the distribution, Li Mingyang was fully responsible for the publicity, while the distribution was handled by Guangxian.

Shanghai Film Group, Dadi Film Studio, and China Film Corporation all have copies, but they just don't show them.

Shanghai Film Studio suddenly released Bouquet of Flowers, not only taking out all the copies but also arranging many prime screenings.

The reason is that after The Wolverine was released, the box office of all the other films that were released on the same day was almost halved. Only Bouquet of Flowers, with a lower screening schedule, still went against the trend and achieved a staggering box office of 140 million.

Almost every show was sold out.

This is almost the box office limit that "Flowers" can achieve by scheduling films in mainland China.

Lao Ren was too lazy to abide by the agreement. The most important thing was that the cinema managers in Shanghai were very resistant. They made money by doing nothing, so if they showed the movie one day less, they would make one day less.

You can’t eat the meat in the front, and even if there are subsequent screenings, the market has already faded, so what’s the point of eating the soup?

Yanbei. After finishing the promotion work for "Chinese Paladin 3", the main creators of Sugarman came to Wanda Cinema and went to the screening room reserved by Liu Shishi.

"It's a good thing Shishi bought the tickets in time, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to get a ticket now." Hu Ge said jokingly after sitting down.

“With such a low screening schedule, they were able to reverse the decline. They should be able to make a lot of money this time, right?” Huo Jianhua asked with a smile.

"We can definitely make a lot of money. The box office in Hong Kong is almost the same as in the mainland, with a total box office of more than 6 million. We have already recouped our investment, and the rest is profit. It's only been three days. I calculated on the way here, and we can make at least three times as much." Hu Ge said excitedly.

Huo Jianhua frowned and said, contrary to his usual behavior, "Will this kid try to trick us?"

"No way, we have already signed the contract. I have shown the copy of the contract to Mr. Cai. There is no problem!"

"He's making so much money, but he didn't even call us to cheer him up. I feel like he's trying to rip us off!"

Hu Ge also had doubts in his heart. Li Mingyang was obsessed with the roadshow every day, but he didn't invite anyone else except Yang Mi!

He and Lao Huo are much more popular than Yang Mi.

"Shishi, is Li Mingyang going to cheat us?" Hu Ge turned around and asked Liu Shishi beside him.

Liu Shishi shook her head, thought for a while, put her hands together, shrugged her shoulders, and said, "I don't know what she means."

Hu Ge covered his face in pain. He was worried about not making money, but now he is worried about not getting any money!
He secretly decided to wait until the movie was over to talk to Mr. Cai. It would be hundreds of thousands of dividends! And he didn't have to pay taxes!
At this time, Yuan Hong and several assistants came in with popcorn and drinks.

Yuan Hong sat next to Liu Shishi and handed her a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you, Brother Hong." Liu Shishi took the mineral water, unscrewed the lid with a smile, and took a sip.

Seeing this, Huo Jianhua nudged Hu Ge with his elbow and whispered, "You haven't given up yet?"

"He didn't listen. His contract expires next year and he's letting himself go. President Cai can no longer tolerate him."

"Daughters are different!" Huo Jianhua laughed softly.

Huo Jianhua and Hu Ge joked for a while, and their bouquet-like love finally began.

Liu Shishi straightened up, looked at the screen with anticipation, and started watching Li Mingyang's movie "A Bouquet of Love".

As time went by, the smile on her face disappeared, and she felt more and more depressed...

Liu Yifei in the bouquet is still so beautiful even without the halo of ancient costume and with bangs.

The beauty was so dazzling that it made her lose confidence and feel unhappy.

After all, Mr. Cai’s plan for her is to be ‘Little Liu Yifei’.

"He's such a good photographer of women! Liu Yifei isn't that pretty normally!" Hu Ge exclaimed.

"The filter is well used." Huo Jianhua touched his chin and said very professionally, "Why does it feel like it doesn't look like a mainland-style movie? It's a bit more Hong Kong-style, and a bit like a Japanese drama."

Hu Ge held it in for a long time, but he really didn't know what to say, so he just said "very bright" and shut up.

Halfway through the movie.

Liu Shishi looked at Li Mingyang with his upper body naked and his hair shaved. She couldn't help swallowing and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

So handsome!
So that's how he got his crew cut.

Cai Yinong, Li Guoli, and other directors of Tangren, who were sitting in the third row, began the discussion.

Even without Liu Shishi's private screening, Cai Yinong and the others were ready to watch "Bouquet" which could change Zuo Shandiao's mind.
