Chapter 66 The Box Office on the First Day Was Okay
In the early morning of September 2nd, while everyone was still asleep, Shen Lianjie was staring at the box office data with red eyes.
The reputation of "Capital" on the Internet is a mess, and its reputation in reality is not very good either.
Of course, he doesn't feel frustrated. This is the case with some movies. Word of mouth only accounts for a part. The key is the final box office.
Didn’t you see that the box office of many bad movies is surprisingly high, easily reaching millions or even ten million on the first day? Even some great movies can make back their money on the first day, and even make huge profits!
On the contrary, he is very confident!
After all, judging from the number of films scheduled, his own "Capital" is not inferior to "Metro Station", let alone "Battle Night", so this time he is fully qualified to compete for the first place in the box office list in September.
The title of monthly box office champion not only symbolizes making money, but also symbolizes honor and one's status as a director in China.
Whether to maintain the status quo or take it to the next level depends on the final box office results of "Capital".
"Brother Shen, come out, come out!"
"How many?"
"Ten million!"
"Huh, ten million, not bad. It seems that if it is run well, it can make a small fortune!"
"yes."
“What about other box office results?”
"It just came out. I haven't had time to look at it yet. I only looked at ours. This is the total box office trend chart, results and general report."
"Yeah." Shen Lianjie took a report handed over by his assistant. After taking a look at it, he suddenly felt a little disappointed.
The disappointment is not because he is not good at the box office. In fact, the first-day box office of 10 million is a pretty good result in his opinion, and there is no water in the 10 million box office. They are all real results. In a certain sense It can be said that "Capital" will become a small hit in the future...
What disappointed him was that "Capital" did not rank first in the first-day box office rankings. Not only did it not rank first, it even ranked third...
third……
This ranking is dangerous!
He took a breath and looked at the detailed data on the report carefully again.
Zhang Tong: "Subway Station" 12 million.
Xu Xiaoming: "War Night" 11.5 million.
Shen Lianjie: Ten million in "Capital".
Li Tong's "Enemies at the same table" 9 million...
"We ranked third at the box office on the first day?"
"yes."
"This result is not ideal."
"Brother Shen, the first-day results can only represent a part of it. The competition for the box office has just begun. Last year, there was a movie "Infinite" that did not do well at the box office on the first day, but then exploded all the way, and finally reached the top of the list?" The assistant understood Shen Lianjie. Although disappointed in his heart, he still looked at Shen Lianjie with a comforting smile.
"Well, that's right, the next step is the key point of the box office battle." Shen Lianjie nodded, but after being disappointed for a while, he didn't say anything. "By the way, how was the box office performance of "Buried Alive"? Why didn't I see it?" Is it in the box office data?”
"Which one? I can't possibly miss it from the statistics."
""Buried Alive" does not..."
"Oh, Brother Shen, I won't count movies with a box office of less than 4 million. After all, these box office hits cannot create any competitiveness and climate. I am too lazy to spend time to count..."
"Well, that's right. No matter how strong an ant is, he can only be an ant." Shen Lianjie smiled faintly. He felt that his mood just now was a bit ridiculous, that he would pay attention to that movie that was destined to hit the street. It seems that his recent I am getting less and less courageous.
Can a movie with such a small investment threaten my "Capital"?
What kind of international joke are you kidding!
hehe!
You are not even qualified to be my box office competitor!
What nonsense are you talking about?
Ignore him!
Keep ignoring him!
…………………………………………
Big shots naturally pay attention to the things of big shots.
Little people naturally pay attention to the things of little people.
For example, when everyone was paying attention to the number of rooms on the first day, Lu Yuan lay on the bed, read the "Complete Recipes" he had bought recently, yawned and closed his eyes to go to sleep.
It was a very comfortable sleep.
He even had a very beautiful dream of opening a restaurant and having a prosperous business at the peak of his life.
But when I was dreaming about marrying a wife and wearing a red hijab, suddenly the whole world started to tremble.
Hold the grass, is there an earthquake?
"Explode, explode!"
"It exploded!"
"Ayuan, it exploded, we exploded!"
"Exploded!"
"Fuck!"
The world was spinning for a while, and Lu Yuan thought the hotel gas tank had exploded. He was so frightened that he opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed. He picked up a few pieces of clothes and was about to run to the door when he saw Fatty Wei's wretched face.
His smile and Qian Zhong’s excited face were lying on the edge of his bed!
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and his face became extremely ugly.
"It's so late at night, what are you yelling at? Are you full, or are you hungry?"
"Ayuan, you exploded!"
"You just exploded!"
"No, no... I said, our movie exploded!"
"Don't say half a sentence, say it all in one breath!"
"Four million, our premiere box office was four million. Not only did we fully recover our capital, but we also made a small profit. We even had the investment for the new movie!" Fatty Wei grabbed the edge of the bed and was as excited as a man.
Like a 300-pound child, he is extremely happy.
"Four million?" Lu Yuan was stunned at first when he heard this number, and then his ugly expression turned into happiness, but he was not as excited as Fatty Wei.
It is common sense that "Buried Alive" will not lose money at the box office. After all, the theater world has an explosion of more than 10 million, and it is US dollars, 4 million...
All right.
If the box office of the premiere was more than 4 million, it would actually be a success.
"Ayuan, the total investment is only 800,000. To be able to hit such a box office on the first day is simply a miracle in the history of the box office. I dare say that we are the only one in the history of Chinese movies. We are enough to hit the box office
Enter the annals of history!" Fatty Wei was so excited that his voice sounded as excited as if he had smoked marijuana!
Of course, at this moment, he was deliberately not thinking about the box office of Shen Lianjie's "Capital".
Now is your happy time, don't think about other disturbing things.
At this moment, he just wants to be happy and feel high.
"Okay, okay, I understand, go to sleep..."
"By the way, why was your phone turned off when I called you just now?"
"It's so late at night, so late at night, do I still want you to call me and harass me? I'm sick."
"Ayuan, let's celebrate with a drink?"
"Nervous... I'm going to bed, you go ahead." Lu Yuan yawned, completely ignoring the excited looks of Fatty Wei and Qian Zhong, climbed onto the bed and closed his eyes.
"Brother Wei, Brother Lu..."
"Why are you panicking? This is the first day of box office. You are so excited... A Yuan, I guess he has already predicted the box office results..."
"Is it so powerful?"
"Nonsense, he is the screenwriter and director, and he created this movie by himself. He even raised the investment by himself. How can he not be great?"
"Brother Lu isn't going, then shall we go have a drink?"
"Drink your ass and go to sleep!"
"You didn't say you were going just now..."
"Did I say that?" Fatty Wei frowned and glared at Qian Zhong.
"No, no, it's not you who said it, it was me who said it... Actually, I want to drink. If I don't want to drink, then forget it..." Qian Zhong's momentum weakened and he quickly shook his head.
"Since you want to drink so much, then I allow you to treat me to a drink!"
"What?" Qian Zhong was stunned when he saw Fatty Wei looking like he was giving you face.
He was even more confused in his heart...
Are there any such shameless people in this world?

"The phone you dialed has been turned off..."
"..."
"Dududu."
"The phone you dialed has been turned off!"
"..."
Wang Jinxue held the phone, took a deep breath, and finally threw the phone to the ground, her chest heaving with anger.
The originally good mood was completely shattered...
The box office was a blast. I originally wanted to talk to that guy and have some fun, but who knew that guy...
It’s really invincible!
Wang Jinxue even knew what that guy was doing.
Either smoke and drink, or sleep...
……………………
"Old Wang, I want to discuss something with you?"
"What's the matter?"
"You can make a copy of "Buried Alive" and show it to me in Tianqinli. I will arrange the film..."
""Buried Alive" was signed only to me, Tianhe, and we, Tianhe, are exclusive!"
"Why don't I give you a higher share of the split? As for our relationship, who is following whom?"
"Aren't you saying that I don't have good taste? Are you saying that I, a clothes seller, can open a theater chain?"
"Old Wang, after so many years of our relationship, can you still blame me so much? I was just joking..."
"It's so late at night, what's the matter with you?"
"My Tianqin was trolled to death by netizens, saying that we have no vision and have no vision..."
