Entertainment upstart

Chapter 851 Five hundred million box office in a single day!

Hearing that there was Ju Jingyi, Zhou Xia couldn't help thinking of the men's team and women's team draft trainee training program launched last year, as well as the acquisition of Yuehua.

The acquisition with Yuehua eventually collapsed, so now Xiahua Film and Television has completely cut off other cooperation with Yuehua.

And specially invited top idol training talents from South Korea, Europe and the United States to train Xia Hua's new generation of draft idols.

Now Xiahua Film and Television has a great influence on shaping domestic artists, and there is really no need to sign Korean artists.

You only need to learn from other people's systems and advanced training mechanisms to cultivate Chinese youths with Chinese aesthetics!
"How about it, how many trainees are being trained by the company now, are there any good seedlings with other appearances and temperaments suitable for acting in movies?"

Zhou Xia asked tentatively.

"Men and women each selected 36 actors, all of whom are still children, and they all performed very well. If the boss wants to choose actors, you can choose them yourself when you come back."

Yang Tianzhen didn't know much about it himself, so he could only reply like this.

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"Master Xing said that he has already decided on the start date, and it will start on the 30th at the end of the month. Let me confirm your schedule so that we can arrange the next shooting plan."

"From my point of view, it's no problem to join the team at 30, and you have nothing else to do?" Zhou Xia confirmed with the other party.

Yang Tianzhen is his manager, and she coordinates and arranges the schedule.

"Yes, after you finish the promotion in China and participate in the film promotion in Europe and North America, you still have about three days to spare.

"That's good, you can respond to Master Xing. By the way, regarding the role of Li Ruolan, you just say that the company intends to let Xiao Ai play it."

"Okay, I will confirm with Master Xing."

"That's it."

Zhou Xia hung up the phone with Yang Tianzhen, then checked the time at 10:30, and couldn't help but want to check today's movie box office.

Today is Saturday, and under normal circumstances, the box office will be more than 1.2 times that of Friday!
Zhou Xia is looking forward to the performance of "Sword of Heaven", which has a certain increase in film schedule today.

One thing that is not good for "Sword" is that the film is 136 minutes long, which greatly affects the number of filming sessions.

There are at most 6 shows in one theater every day, but in fact, there are basically 5 shows. Including half an hour of ticket sales and rest time between each show, it is about thirteen hours.

Movie theaters generally don't open until after ten o'clock in the morning, and the overall business hours are fourteen hours before midnight.

Now at 10:30, the last screening before zero o'clock today has basically started, and the box office of the movie has generally been confirmed.

Zhou Xia searched for Miaoyan movies on the Internet and directly checked the real-time box office.

The page opened, and what appeared were the top five movies at the box office today.

The first row is a series of data of the fairy sword.

综合票房：5.0823亿；票房占比：94%；排片场次：92645场；排片占比：77.2%；场均人次108人……

Over [-] million!

Even Zhou Xia, who was used to setting all kinds of box office records, felt her heart skip a beat.

The box office really exceeded [-] million!

In 2018, "Wolf Warrior 56.8", which finally swept the box office of 2 billion nationwide, only had a box office of more than 4000 million on the first day.

Although the box office on the first day cannot determine the final box office, a high-quality movie is the best start.

There is no need to worry about the high expectations of the audience, the more likely to be disappointed, the lowering of word-of-mouth, and the lack of stamina of the movie.

Before 2019, there were only two films in the mainland that set a box office record of over 5 million in a single day.

分别是2017年4月16日的好莱坞大片《速8》，以及2018年2月16日春节，档丑萌丑萌的胡巴《捉妖记2》！
At that time, "Fast and Furious 8" was released on April 4, and it achieved the same box office score of 14 million as the date, shining the eyes of countless people;
On the 15th, it broke through 5 million, becoming the first film in the history of mainland movies to exceed 5 million in a single day!

Then on the 16th, the box office was 3.85 million. Although it declined, it set a record of more than 3.55 million box office for three consecutive days.

In the first weekend, it broke 10 billion in two days (plus 0.55 million at midnight on the first day), and the cumulative box office in three days was 13.55 billion.

As for "Monster Hunt 2", the box office on the first day was even more impressive.

In the case of the release of the three blockbuster films "Nation of Daughters", "Operation Red Sea" and "Detective Chinatown 2" on the same day, "Monster Hunt 2" was released on the first day, with 36.6% of the film schedule, 131914 screenings, and an average of 104 people per game , with an attendance rate of 72.6% against the sky, breaking a single-day box office record and winning a super high box office of 5.47 million!

If it weren't for the follow-up word-of-mouth, it would be impossible for this movie to stop at 22 billion at the box office.

Now "Legend of Sword" broke the record of 5 million two and a half years ahead of schedule, which can be said to be a great statistic, just like "Avatar" back then.

In April 2017, there were more than 8300 theaters in the mainland, with nearly 4.5 screens, but now there are only more than 2.4 screens.

Of course, "Sword" has nearly 10 screenings due to the high cost of filming, but it is still 8 less than the nearly 13 screenings of "Fast [-]".

As for "Monster Hunt 2", the number of screenings is nearly 4 less.

In this case, the higher attendance rate still allowed the single-day box office of "Sword" to exceed 5 million.

Zhou Xia felt a burst of excitement.

Although it is impossible for "Legend of Sword" to set a record of top box office in the mainland for ten consecutive weeks like "Avatar" back then.

But to have such a high attendance rate and cause such a big movie-watching craze and sensation, it is already a movie that is destined to be recorded in the history of movies!
Zhou Xia glanced at the miserable data of "Change 4", "Maleficent" and "Godzilla" below, feeling even happier.

The performance of "Rookie Detective" in North America is not enough to do extra marketing and postpone the screening for two weeks for the sake of [-] million US dollars.

In fact, in other people's territory, with the release of blockbusters such as "Change 4" and "Planet of the Apes 2", the schedule of "New Detective" was cut, which caused the box office to drop sharply.

Of course, this is the norm in North America. There are far more movies screened each year than the 300 or so in the Mainland, and several new movies are released every week.

You may not pay attention to a horror film with an investment of several million or tens of millions of dollars, and there are not many films scheduled, but in the end it is the word-of-mouth that wins the film, which can explode the blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions.

"Rookie Detective" is a foreign movie, and it's not bad that it ended like that in North America.

…………

After watching the real-time box office, Zhou Xia remembered the scandal with Xiao Ai today, and hurriedly went online to check the situation.

Although he didn't let Yang Tianzhen tackle the problem, but he didn't admit it, that was his attitude.

Yang Tianzhen naturally dealt with it to a certain extent.

It can be seen that there are no hot searches on Weibo about Zhou Xia taking Xiao Ai home.

do a search.

There were many netizens and accounts discussing it, but they were all refuted and denied by Zhou Xia's fans, movie fans, and people from Xia Hua Film and Television.

Zhou Xia felt relieved and no longer cared about the situation.
