Chapter 568 The Fallen Famous Director! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
2700 million.

This is the report card of "[-]", one of the best domestic commercial directors, an epic masterpiece that took two years and spent [-] million yuan to produce.

It only got 2700 million box office on the first day, which was a good figure three years ago, but in this era of one billion box office, it is not enough to watch.

Feng Xiaogang lost his mind for a while looking at this dazzling number.

After a busy day, five or six roadshows, and a premiere meeting, Feng Xiaogang was already very tired.

I have been watching the box office data since 11 o'clock in the evening, and the closer it is to 12 o'clock, the more excited I am.

But now, the box office of 2700 million on the first day made him vent his breath, and he slumped on the sofa weakly.

He couldn't figure it out, the movie he carefully prepared only got this number at the box office on the first day.

Everywhere the road show went, the feedback from most of the audience was very good, and almost everyone was moved.

Even those professional film critics who have always looked down on him have changed their attitudes.

I can't figure it out, but the low-budget love movie "The Stolen Five Years" earned 2300 million RMB on the first day.

A blockbuster movie like "Happy Home" had 1400 million on its first day.

Director Guo Jinming's "Little Times" sold 7500 million on the first day, nearly three times that of "[-]"!
A writer, making a movie for the first time, 7500 million on the first day.

The point is that the movie was so bad that Feng Xiaogang couldn't figure it out no matter what.

It is simply a great irony that Feng Xiaogang's first-day box office is not half of that of a layman!
Lying on the sofa and thinking in a daze for a while, Xu Fan who was in the room came out.

She sat down beside her and asked, "What's the matter, how much?"

"2700 million." Feng Xiaogang's tone was weak.

Xu Fan was surprised, "So low?"

Although looking at Feng Xiaogang's expression, he knew that the box office would not be too high, but the 2700 million yuan was still unacceptable to Xu Fan.

Although "3" is not [-]D and has no ticket price advantage, but this film was converted to IMAX and monopolized the IMAX screen.

And now only "Life of Pi" still accounts for more than 20% of the film schedule, "The Stolen Five Years" has only a little more than 10% of the film schedule, and "Quick Book: Happy Home" 5%.

The theaters gave "50" a full 2700% of the film schedule, and more than half of the film schedule only received [-] million box office, which was too low and completely did not match the grand occasion before the release.

But now is not the time to talk about this, Xu Fan comforted, "Don't be discouraged, this is a tragic disaster movie after all, the audience may have concerns, as long as word of mouth is good, the box office will come up soon."

"I'm fine, let's go, go to sleep, there is a road show tomorrow."

Feng Xiaogang raised his head, wiped his face vigorously with both hands, and regained his strength.

"Youth Pie" reached more than 1000 million on the first day, and it doubled directly on the second day. There is no reason that "[-]" can't do it!
After more than ten years of filming, Feng Xiaogang was just lost for a while, and he quickly adjusted.

However, as the days passed, the box office of "[-]" did not rebound as expected, and it has maintained a tepid trend.

"3200" won 500 million on Friday, an increase of 18 million or [-]% compared to yesterday.

As for the double, it doubled, but not "[-]".

"Youth Pi" took 1200 million yesterday, and today Friday it skyrocketed to 2200 million, an increase of 80%.

On Saturday, "4600" rose to 44 million, a wave that broke out during the holidays, with an increase of [-]%.

However, "Youth Pi", which has been released for 10 days, also broke through the 4000 million mark for the first time today, and got 4200 million, which is still nearly double the increase, and the number of films is much less than that of "[-]".

On Sunday, "3700" gave up its daily box office title after sitting for three days, earning [-] million in a single day.

"Youth Pi" still won 4000 million box office today, regaining the daily box office champion!

A week later, "Youth of Pie" won 1.8 million in the second week and still sits firmly at the top of the weekly box office.

The much-watched war disaster blockbuster "1.42" reached 10 million at the weekly box office, which is a long way from the [-] billion goal that Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang called out, and it can be said to be completely hopeless.

The media loves to see great directors hit the box office, and they will follow you to the end.

So various media reports came out.

"Director Feng Xiaogang's new film "[-]" failed miserably at the box office, and there is no hope of getting back the money!"

"Waterloo again, how did the former king of Lunar New Year stalls no longer be popular with the audience?"

"Hua Yi occupies all the IMAX screens in China and shamelessly blocks "Life of Pi"!"

"Emotional marketing failed, what else can Feng Xiaogang do besides comedy?"

"Li Yong defeated Feng Xiaogang, and the two-week box office of "Youth Pi" is nearly 3 million!"

A weekend has passed, and Feng Xiaogang no longer expects much from the box office that has not fluctuated much.

One billion is no longer possible, and now we can only hope that the box office can earn back the cost.

Feng Xiaogang is not having a good time these days, he has to bear criticism from the outside world every day.

Originally, the movie had a good reputation, but with the failure of the box office, many people subconsciously thought that the movie was not good, and gradually the reputation was affected.

Today, when I was promoting in the cinema, I was made things difficult by reporters for more than ten minutes.

All kinds of sharp questions, the one billion goal was slapped in the face, and was defeated by Li Yin with a movie starring Indians.

"Director Feng, Director Tang An previously predicted that the box office of "[-]" would not exceed [-] million. Now it seems that this prediction has come true. Did you expect this situation before?"

Originally, many people were waiting to slap Tang An in the face. After all, [-] million seemed easy.

Unexpectedly, it is now used to slap Feng Xiaogang in the face.

With so many spectators in full view, Feng Xiaogang could only suppress his anger and deal with the reporters.

"The movie has just been released, and the box office is still unpredictable. Everything has to be left to the audience." He said with a serious face.

""[-]" has occupied all the IMAX screens since its release, leaving none of them for "Youth Pi". Isn't this kind of vicious competition too much?"

A reporter asked about this again, because Huayi had previously signed a priority screening contract with IMAX Huaguo Branch, and it was exclusive.

The IMAX version of "Pi" has not been screened since "[-]" opened on Thursday.

"IMAX Corporation signed the agreement half a year ago, and did not expect that "Youth Pi" would airborne in November. This matter has nothing to do with us!"

"It is said that the production cost of "[-]" alone is as high as [-] million. Judging from the current situation, it may not be able to pay back. This will be Director Feng's first film that loses money."

"I can earn back the lost money in my next movie!"

Feeling a little impatient at being bullied, Feng Xiaogang left the venue early with a blank expression.

This week, the reporters are also happy, and they have asked enough questions anyway.

He hurriedly followed to capture Feng Xiaogang's back, already thinking about the headline of the news.

""[-]" failed miserably at the box office, Feng Xiaogang left the stage angrily!"

The achievement of "[-]" can be said to be beyond the imagination of most people. As an investor, Huayi may not be able to recover the cost even if the distribution income is included.

Since Friday, Wang Zhongjun has not had a smile on his face.

With a production cost of [-] million yuan, it is already Huayi's highest-cost movie after "The King of Kung Fu".

He absolutely believed that Feng Xiao dared to invest so much money just now, after all, Feng Xiaogang's movies had never lost money.

"The Banquet", which invested 1 million at the beginning, only sold more than [-] million domestically, and it only made money by cheating Colombia.

Who can "[-]" cheat now?
Only a fool would buy the overseas distribution rights of a Chinese-language war disaster film!

Wang Zhongjun frowned, listening to the people below report the company's stock market information.

The market value, which was originally less than 18 billion, has fallen by 18% in just four days, and the market value has evaporated by [-] billion!
At the same time, the public relations department is also reporting.

"Chairman, yesterday, the number of people who rated one star on Douban.com accounted for 58% of the number of people who scored that day. Among the ratings of users who did not purchase tickets on Guevara's ticketing website, 0 points accounted for 46%, and 10 points were given. 16% of

A pile of bad news made Wang Zhongjun upset.

But he can't do anything, all methods are based on the quality of the movie.

With Huayi's strength, if the movie sells well, these means will be insignificant.

But the box office hit the street. The snowflakes of bad reviews and the ultra-low box office can easily affect the choices of fans who have not bought tickets.

It doesn't matter which party did it, let's get through this first.

After ordering emergency measures one by one, Wang Zhongjun took a breath after all the departments left.

He made up his mind that Feng Xiaogang couldn't be so self-willed in the next movie, he had to make a low-budget comedy to restore blood!

Hantang Media and Tang An haven't paid attention to "[-]" these days. After watching the premiere, he knew that the film was basically like this.

It is true that there is a market for disaster and bitterness films, but "[-]" only has bitterness and despair, no emotion at all, no warmth, no hope.

But a week later, Tang An also looked at the data of "[-]" in the office.

There is no surprise at the box office, but I don't know which troll is frantically giving "[-]" a bad review.

It was supposed to be produced by Xingmei, but now Xingmei's "The King's Feast" was released a few years ago.

Tang An didn't delve into it either, you never know how many ghosts are staring at you in the dark.

After reading the last piece of news titled "Famous Director Fallen", Tang An turned off the computer.

The title is quite attractive, but it's still too early to talk about falling, and next year they will still get 7 million box office if they make a fool of themselves!
"Youth Pi" was released for more than half a month, and "[-]" hit the street.

"Longling Miku" will hardly encounter any resistance, and that's it for the Lunar New Year file.

It's time to start other things. Renren.com has experienced the biggest crisis in recent years, and it urgently needs to cut off part of its business in exchange for a large amount of cash.

The investment and development department contacted the other party several times, and finally negotiated the acquisition of Nuomi.com.
