Chapter 38 Early morning box office
Judging from the audience's reaction, the press conference was quite satisfactory, and after the movie ended, there were fans looking for Yang Mi to sign.
Afterwards, Tang An invited Lin Sheng to have a late-night snack in a nearby restaurant.
There is no way, there is not much money, and I can’t afford to go to the hotel!
At the dinner table, Lin Sheng said half-jokingly, "Director Tang, you cheated me in the first place!"
"What did Mr. Lin say?" Tang An looked at him innocently.
"From the director to the venue, you have to have all part-time. Wasn't that the cost of 500,000 yuan cheated?"
"Mr. Lin can't say that. You cut me off 300,000 yuan, then it's considered my false report of the labor!" Tang An said with a smile.
"That's right, the box office CD in the mainland is yours, and it has nothing to do with China Film. Even if the investment is not 500,000, it doesn't matter if it only has 500,000!"
"Hehe." When Yang Mi heard this, she couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing Lin Sheng and Tang An looking at him, she covered her mouth embarrassedly.
"What are Miss Yang laughing at?" Lin Sheng said in confusion.
"No, I'm not laughing at anything!" Yang Mi waved her hand, and quickly lowered her head and took a sip of the drink.
"Mr. Lin, you can't say that. You still have a 10% issuance fee, so how can you say it doesn't matter!" Tang An said hurriedly.
At present, the subsequent screening and promotion will depend on China Film. If the other party is satisfied with the 1.4 million-meter overseas copyright fee and does not care about the domestic box office, it will be difficult to rely on reputation alone.
It is now 2004, and the Internet era is still early, and reputation is still in the hands of major media. It is unrealistic to expect audiences to spread word by word.
"Crazy Stone" became a dark horse in 2006, and the media's publicity was inevitable. Just imagine if the major media reports on movies were negative news at that time, would the audience go to the cinema?
The channels for audiences to receive information are limited, and whoever can master these channels will be the winner!
Lin Sheng also knew Tang An’s concerns. The distribution department would not spend too much resources on “Shake Beach”, after all, Lu Chuan’s “Koke Xili” will be released on October 1st.
However, with the end of the Spanish San Sebastian Film Festival, "Kokesili" lost no grains, but "Shark Beach" won two awards. The distribution department will naturally adjust its strategy and appropriately tilt some resources towards Tang'an.
So Lin Sheng laughed and said, "Don't worry about the promotional matters. Although you can't give you blockbuster treatment, there will be no shortage of resources. As long as the box office is excellent, the company will consider it as appropriate!"
"Then I'll feel relieved, thank you Mr. Lin!"
It took half an hour for a late-night snack to end, and then he took Yang Mi and Xu Ruoyun back to the hotel.
The house that Tang An rented was still outside the Fifth Ring Road, and the money for taking a taxi back and forth was enough to stay in a hotel, so he simply didn't go back.
Moreover, we will be promoted in the city in the next period. In this era, cinemas outside the Third Ring Road are very popular, let alone the Fifth Ring Road.
Dongcheng District, XC District, Haidian District, and Chaoyang District, I have to visit four major districts in the city and at least 8 cinemas in the first three days.
In this era, WIFI was not popular yet, computers were too expensive, and it was impossible for hotels to be equipped with all rooms.
Fortunately, Tang An changed to a domestically made-up brand of straight board machine, which can be accessed online.
However, when I opened Douban and Shiguang, I didn’t see a comment. Reports related to portals such as Xinlang and Tengxun were still stuck yesterday.
"It's only 2004, it's not so fast. I guess I'll see it when I wake up tomorrow morning!" Tang An patted his head, and had no choice but to take a shower and go to bed.
I slept until dawn, and Tang An got up on time at 7 o'clock in the morning.
I was not in a hurry to read the news. I washed up very calmly and then took out the domestic straightener.
"The best horror film of the year, a model of a low-cost thriller!" - A long review from Douban column critic Zheng Yi.
Tang An read it word by word. Although these critics cannot believe them all, those who can do this profession in this era are really talented and knowledgeable.
Unlike later, it was simply a series of mouths that started!
It is roughly pertinent, and the entire movie is analyzed in detail from the aspects of narrative rhythm, detail logic, lens language and sound effects, plot design, etc.
However, Tang An could see that the critic intentionally or unintentionally ignored some of the shortcomings of the movie, which was probably the result of China Film Public Relations.
There are dozens of messages below. It seems that this film critic is quite popular. I hope it can help him drive a little box office.
Then I turned to Tengxun News, although this era of salary waves is the well-deserved boss of the portal website.
There is no way, Tengxun is already so angry in later generations. It is because I am a habitual way to open Tengxun.
There is also a long comment in the middle of the homepage of the entertainment section, and a poster is accompanied by a top.
However, this comment does take a different approach, not talking about rhythm, picture, or special effects, just to talk about the language of the movie organization.
It's equivalent to telling a story.
However, the proportion of this film critic is very good, with a sense of substitution and picture. There are also dozens of comments on the ground.
"The movie that Sister An talked about today is so interesting. A girl met a shark alone at the sea, and finally killed the shark!"
"I can even use earrings and necklaces to sew needles. I want to go to the cinema to see!"
"This movie looks good this time, much better than the "Bird Painting" a few days ago. Let's see if there are any nearby cinemas at night!"
......
After reading Tang An, I felt relieved, and the reviews were pretty good.
When we went out with Yang Mi and Xu Ruoyun, we went downstairs to find a small shop for breakfast.
"Brother An, how is the box office now?" Yang Mi asked anxiously while eating.
"How can we come out so quickly? There are so many places across the country who need to count it, and don't expect how high the box office in the early morning!"
That's it, but Tang An couldn't help but call Lin Sheng and asked about the box office situation!
Lin Sheng seemed to have just gotten up on the other end of the phone and kept complaining, "I said, Director Tang, you are too anxious, what time is this!"
"I'm disturbing Mr. Lin. Isn't this an impatient thing? See if the box office in the early morning is counted!" Tang An smiled apologetically!
"You wait, I'll look at the email address. It should have been almost 5 rounds since the early morning...."
Listening to the sound of typing on the keyboard opposite, Tang An was beating a little faster.
"Just just came out, most cities across the country have counted it. The box office so far is 160,000, with good results. If you keep it going, you should be able to have a box office of 500,000 or 600,000 today!"
Lin Sheng was also a little surprised. The original evaluation of this film was about 4 million, which was beyond expectations.
160,000!
Tang An quickly settled the bill in his heart.
Nowadays, the number of domestic screens is about 2,000 yuan, which means that there have been almost 8,000 broadcasts.
The filming schedule of "Shark Beach" is 28%, which is lower than the 46% lower than the 25% lower than the filming schedule of "Zhang Side".
The former is Cheng Long's film, while the latter has many units booked the venue during the National Day, but fortunately it has been screened for a while.
In other words, "Shark Beach" has been screened in total, with an average of 70 yuan in box office!
At this time, the movie ticket price in big cities is 10 yuan per ticket, the lower in second-tier cities, and even lower in smaller cities.
A discount, even if you pay 7 yuan per ticket, there will be 10 viewers in an average of one game.
Are there about 140-190 seats in ordinary cinemas? The attendance rate is almost 6%!
It’s pretty good. On the first day, not many people have watched this movie except for the promotion two days ago. And it was early in the morning, so it was already good to have this data!
According to the normal trend, it should be around 350,000 before the afternoon and evening peak, and it can double it at night. The box office of 700,000 or 800,000 is no problem.
Although it is far from the first day of "New Police Story" No. 24, the first round of 5 million should be achieved, but it should eventually be able to get a box office of 7 million. If the subsequent response is good, it will not be a problem.
In this way he has enough funds to start the next movie!
