Chapter 185 Interview, first day box office(1/2)
Before the Chinese film schedule was revitalized, the National Day schedule was second only to the summer schedule and the New Year schedule.
There are four movies scheduled to be filmed in the National Day holiday this year, "Stay Call" starring Chen Musheng, "Stay Call" starring Chen Musheng, "Start the Call" starring Chen Jiashang, Zhou Xun, Zhao Buffett, Wei, Chen Kun, and Zhen Zidan. The remaining two movies are "Staying Now" and "Get Out! Tumor Lord" directed by Liu Jiang.
As we all know, any movie starring Big S is a bad movie. Even though "Keep Call" released on the 25th closed at 6.21 million on the first day, its reputation collapsed completely.
Due to the bad reputation and the influence of "Painted Skin" released the next day, the Hong Kong film produced by Emperor and promoted by China Film. The box office of this Hong Kong film fell to 4.03 million the next day.
"Painted Skin" closed at 13.03 million, and the entire market was raised by more than 400%.
What do you say about the movie "Painted Skin"?
Let’s say so!
Its appearance has changed the pattern of the Chinese film and television industry.
From then on, mainland celebrities gradually raised their heads, and capital and directors no longer believed that only Hong Kong and Taiwan could bear the big production.
Of course, the number of photos that happened at the end of last year was still a bit of an impact.

The next afternoon, Li Xun accepted an exclusive interview with Zhao Yongxiang of the Beijing News in Beijing Culture's own office.
"I am from Shanghai. This year is my zodiac year. I just turned 24 at the beginning of the year."
"Actually, before 2007, I was always confused about my life and didn't know what to do..."
"Yes, although I majored in advertising design, I did not work related to advertising after graduation..."
"Because I sing better, I worked as a resident singer in Nange Bar during my graduation period. Later, I was more interested in bartending work. I studied for two months and worked as a bartender for another half a year."
"Yes, the studio is called the Imaging Photography Studio. It was completely unexpected to open a photography studio. I have a friend whose sister is a photographer. During the contact with her, I was interested in the photographer again. After learning photography skills with her, I opened this studio."
"I don't answer this question, I've broken up. I don't want to disturb others anymore, so don't write it down."
"Yang Qing once said this before, when he was having a disco in a Tangchao bar with his friend, he came to invest. I thought the "Nightclub" he wrote was pretty good, so he invested."
"Since the establishment of the "Nightclub" project, I have always followed this project. When Yang Qing and I pulled up the entire shooting team, and made the movie and contacted the distribution company. When we achieved good results, we felt a sense of accomplishment. At that time, the idea of making a movie came to our minds."
"Actually, I didn't expect the company to grow so quickly. I can say with certainty that the quality of movies and TV series produced by Beijing Culture is guaranteed."
"It has been decided that Li Bingbing will play Li Ningyu. Don't insist on this matter at once, just write a little in the fog."
"By the way, I'll tell you another insider news. Liu Dehua will collaborate with Beijing Culture next year, and the director is Wang Sanri."
"I won't talk about it now, and I'll tell you when it's about to be announced to the public."
"Of course, six or seven projects will be launched next year, including three movies and several TV series projects."
"I can say clearly that my parents only opened a small advertising company, and they can barely be considered rich second generation."

Zhao Yongxiang took Li Xun's first interview and went back to write the article, while Li Xun went to the publicity department to take a look.
"Get out! Tumor Lord", which mainly promotes the first domestic girl movie, has been released every twenty days since its completion in June.
Before Jiahe Cinema was acquired, its promotional expenses were only 4 million yuan, but after acquiring Jiahe Cinema, the promotional expenses for modifications increased to 25 million yuan - Meituan, the film producers and the theaters each paid half of it.
Of which 5 million is the normal promotion fee for the movie, and 20 million is taken out to make up for the movie fans.
Although Meituan Movie APP can only be used on Apple phones, computer users have gone from hundreds to more than 400,000 in just half a month - all of them were attracted by a large-scale ticket supplement campaign of 20 million.
At the thank-you party yesterday, Wang Zhonglei teased Li Xun and said that he was losing money and gaining publicity because the total investment of 31 million yuan requires nearly 100 million yuan to recover the cost.
The meaning of Wang Zhonglei's words is that "Get out! Tumor Lord" box office will definitely not exceed 100 million.
It is another matter whether to lose money or not. At least it will make Meituan movies enter the sight of fans. As long as you increase Meituan movie users, you will make a profit.
Moreover, Li Xun would not think that "Get out! Tumor Lord" would lose money because its pre-sale box office has reached 5 million.
Based on the average price of each special ticket of 15 yuan, 350,000 of Meituan Movie registered users have pre-ordered movie tickets.
Are there anyone using Meituan movies?
……………………
At 8 o'clock in the evening, "Get Out! Tumor Lord" was officially released in prime time. The number of films in Jiahe Image Times Cinemas is as high as 60%, and the remaining 40% are placed for "Painted Skin" 22%, "Keep Call" 8%, "Depart Now" 2%, and 8% are left for movies such as "Li Mi's Conjecture" that have been released for half a month...
In Beijing Jiahe Video Times Cinema, six or seven movie fans who purchased movie tickets on Meituan Movies were queuing up to pick up tickets, and among these six or seven people were Kan Qingzi...
Kan Qingzi successfully obtained the movie ticket with her ID card, and then walked into the cinema with Li Qing, who had returned from buying popcorn and Coke.
Both girls are currently filming on the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions". One heroine and the other supporting role have no scenes with them today, so they came out to watch the movie.
Before the movie started, Li Qing, who had eaten two popcorns, asked Kan Qingzi curiously: "Qingzi, what do you think is the real relationship between Li Xun and the heroine of this movie?"
For those who are in the entertainment industry, it is the most basic thing to pay attention to real-time news every day. They naturally read the news last night.
"No one except them, I'm afraid no one knows what their relationship is."
There was no difference between Kan Qingzi's words and no answer. She felt a little uncomfortable inside. She took the jokes seriously.
Although she has signed up with Rong Xinda now, how can Rong Xinda have the best Beijing culture as Li Xun?
It has been more than two months since I met Li Xun last time. I don’t seem to have much hope to be his little lover.
"You said you've seen him, isn't he as handsome as in the photo?"
Since the reporter took photos in the cinema, the light made them blurry because of the light, but they could barely see their appearance.
"Of course, I have a very good figure."
Kan Qingzi couldn't help but blush as soon as she finished speaking, but she didn't know what scene she was thinking about.
"You also said he had a phone call. After watching the movie, I called him to come out for a midnight snack with us to see if he was as handsome as you said."
Kan Qingzi looked embarrassed. She hadn't been in contact for so long, I'm afraid that Li Xun would forget himself!
"You are not lying to me, are you? In fact, you don't have his phone number at all." Li Qing saw that Kan Qingzi wanted to speak but stopped and joked.
"Whoever said I didn't, I'll fight now."
Kan Qingzi was so excited by Li Qing that she immediately took out her cell phone and dialed Li Xun's phone number...
After the phone rang for more than ten seconds, Li Xun's mouthful words came from the receiver...
"Does my little wife miss her husband?"
This sentence made Kan Qingzi's face instantly red to the base of her neck. Li Qing looked at her with her eyes wide open and disbelief...
"Cousin, do you have time today? I'll treat you to a midnight snack..."
"Tonight? You should know that I'm very busy these days, and I'll come to you after I finish my work..."
"Okay then! My cousin must come to me after he finishes his work..."
"No problem. When I finish my work, I will come and spoil my wife."
Kan Qingzi and Li Xun said a few more words before hung up the phone. Li Qing couldn't wait to ask: "What's the situation? Why did he call your little wife?"
"...I used to joke with a classmate in our class that he wanted to be his little wife, but who knew he was addicted to it?" Kan Qingzi hesitated for a moment and said proudly.
Actually, what I mean is that I not only know him, but also know him very well.
"Since you are so familiar with him, why do you still have to come to our company? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to his company?"
"Why should I go if he doesn't sign actors in his company?"
"Okay!" Li Qing paused for a moment, and then said, "When you see him, take me with you, and let me see who he is."
"No problem, we'll go together then."
While the two were chatting, the movie had been on the spot for five minutes.
At the same time, Li Xun, who had just hung up the phone, walked out of the tea room and said to Yang Tianzhen: "I'll go back first if there is nothing to do. Remember, the bad reviews on the Internet cannot exceed 10%.
"Senior brother, don't worry! I will handle it." Yang Tianzhen promised.
"Okay, then I'll leave."
After Li Xun finished speaking, he left the company and drove to Lu Xue's house. He had not helped her discharge the flood for more than 20 days. If she didn't go, her pond would be flooded with Jinshan.
……………………
The next day, on National Day, "Get Out! Tumor Lord" was released at 8:00 last night to the early morning box office.
In just four hours, the box office on the first day actually reached 4.51 million, winning the single-day box office runner-up.
"Painted Skin", which has been released for four days, closed at 12.01 million yuan to continue to win the championship, "Keep Call" has a box office of 2.38 million yuan, and "Departure Now" has a box office of 250,000 yuan.
During the half month when Li Xun went to Paris, Song Ge and the owners of major theaters held an internal meeting with Meituan Film. At the meeting, except for Zhongying and Shanghai Film, other theater owners did not support the use of Meituan Film.
Therefore, "Get out! Tumor Lord" is only released in theaters under Shanghai Film and China Film and Jiahe Image Times, and China Film and Television Shanghai Film and Television each gave 22% of the film schedule.
The first four hours were able to earn 4.51 million yuan in box office, thanks to the special tickets of Meituan Movie, which made the attendance rate as high as 90%.
As long as the attendance rate of "Get Out! Tumor Lord" is no less than 80% the next day's prime time, then no movie can stop it.
Even "Painted Skin" is the same.
On the day of National Day, facing the press release of "Get Out! Tumor Lord" that exploded across the Internet, Meituan Movie registered users soared by 300,000, and the online order rate increased by more than 5 million again. In addition to the previous one, it reached 10 million.
The press release also brought up hot topics such as "Are you optimistic or negative when you have a terminal illness?"
