""I'm Not the God of Medicine" has exploded in word-of-mouth, and the box office has been a hit at the screenings. It only received a high box office of 40 million in some regions across the country!"
""I'm Not the God of Medicine" has received good reviews and a double box office harvest. Li Qian will sweep the entire summer season and become another phenomenon-level movie."
"With 5,000 screenings, 100% attendance, and a box office of 40 million, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" ignited the summer movie market and received rave reviews!"
"From the summer season to the Lunar New Year season, Li Qian wants to create another box office legend!"
...
During the seven days of screenings, the first three days were close to 400 screenings per day, which was far more popular than any other movie this year. In the second week, all theaters contacted and requested additional screenings, and the number of screenings continued to increase.
However, if there are too many copies, they may be easily leaked.
Although there is a tacit understanding in the industry, no matter how much competition there is, the bottom line will not be crossed, and piracy will not be touched.
Once someone sets a precedent, others will definitely pirate your film in order to retaliate, and everyone will die together.
However, Li Qian didn't want to test human nature. There are 200 movie theaters each, from 7 to 11 pm, and two shows in four hours, which is already the limit.
Not all copies have security personnel. In some areas, there are company promotions, and some flagship theaters of Pacific, Happy Blue Ocean, Oscar, Silver Star, and Tianhe under Four Provinces Optoelectronics, which we have been cooperating with, are relatively reliable.
The managers of this kind of flagship theater are the core personnel of each theater chain, so they can be relatively assured.
Although they have a good relationship with theater chains such as the China Film Group, the Phantom Film Group, and Wanda, there is no direct interest relationship after all, so I can't rest assured.
No matter how other theaters begged to issue copies, Li Qian has never issued additional copies, and the number of theaters that already have copies has not increased.
No matter what you say, it's useless, even if you promise to give priority to supplying films after the release, or even give Li Qian an extra two points from the box office.
The attendance rate is 100%, all in the hall, with more than 200 spectators per session, and the food and drinks are a huge amount of revenue.
This was the first time that Li Qian encountered a situation where a theater took the initiative to give up profits. In the end, they had to do the next best thing, not adding copies, adding more shows, and adding two games in the afternoon.
Even so, the attendance rate for the afternoon shows all reached 100%. After all, it was the weekend.
It screened 5,000 times and generated a box office of 40 million, which is a figure that most directors have never reached.
There were only 33 domestic films with a box office of 40 million last year, including the large-scale Chinese-foreign co-production "Kung Fu Dream", the packaged "Battle of Shama Town" starring A-list actress Lin Chi-ling, and the 3D movie "Su Qi"
"Son" also had a box office of more than 40 million.
It has grossed 40 million at the box office before it was released. This is something that no one inside or outside the industry expected.
This is still the box office of 5,000 small-scale screenings. If it were officially released, it would be okay.
A thoughtful person secretly did a math question. There are currently about 11,000 screens in China. Cinemas usually open at 9:30, and one screen shows about eight shows a day.
Eleven thousand screens can screen 88,000 shows a day.
5,000 shows earned 40 million box office, and 88,000 shows...
Of course, the calculation is not like this. All the screenings are in halls with 200 people, and most theaters have halls with about 100 people, and some theaters in small places are even smaller.
The attendance rate cannot be as high as 100%. There is a studio for the official release, and it is not all weekends.
However, even so, it is terrifying enough. If it is officially released, how much energy can it explode.
Maybe, there really is a movie that will hit a box office of over 1 billion?
After a complex analysis, various companies were shocked to find that Li Qian's "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is definitely going to exceed one billion.
As for the shoddy half-year cycle that has been making a lot of noise, and the consumption of steamed buns for cancer patients to suck human blood, it is no longer useful.
The audience is not a fool. Not everyone who originally believed in Li Qian said anything. Silence was the majority, which allowed the navy to wreak havoc.
With the number of moviegoers reaching one million, the reputation of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has been completely fermented. Even because most of the viewers have not been able to watch it, seeing a good movie on the Internet has only made them more and more itchy.
This is going to be difficult for major companies.
In Chairman Bernard's office, Yu Dongzheng had a sad face.
No, Yu Dong hasn't relaxed for a minute since "I'm Not the God of Medicine" started screening.
Yu Dong was unhappy, and so were the people below him, especially Yu Ji, who succeeded Zhang Hao as director of publicity and marketing.
As the name suggests, Yu Ji was originally an entertainment reporter. He was originally involved in the media circle. He worked for many newspapers and had a wide network of contacts. From a reporter and media person to a senior executive of a US listed company, Yu Ji was even a little grateful.
Li Qian poached Zhang Hao.
However, I did not expect to encounter such a difficult matter as soon as I took office.
"Yu Dong, do you think we should continue now?" Yu Ji asked cautiously and tentatively.
These words made Yu Dong even more irritable, and he would always ask him what to do, what to do, what does this publicity director do for a living!
Although he was unhappy with Zhang Hao's betrayal, Yu Dong missed Zhang Hao a little now. At least he wouldn't ask him what to do whenever something happened, and he couldn't even fart.
"Stop it and concentrate on preparing for "Overheard 2" next month." Yu Dong waved his hand.
"Good Yu Dong."
Yu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and left the office quickly. Although this feeling was not good at the moment, not everyone could be a servant of a large company, and Yu Dong gave him too much.
The only people left in the office are Yu Dong and Bernard COO Chen Yongxiong, a well-known filmmaker in Hong Kong who once served as the general manager of Asia Pacific.
Chen Yongxiong said, "The influence of paper media on the film and television industry is no longer as good as that of Internet media."
"I know that there is no suitable candidate for the time being."
Yu Dong shook his head, "Well, Lao Chen, please make arrangements. I will go to Omen to meet Ximihua and Xiang Huaqiang in two days."
Chen Yongxiong hesitated and said, "Yu Dong, Xi Mihua is not a good person."
"Let's talk about it later." Yu Dong waved his hand.
The mainland market is getting bigger and bigger, and the companies in Xiangjiang are becoming more and more jealous. Some people in Omen are even beginning to pay attention to the mainland film market.
Bernard's U.S. stock market collapsed, and it urgently needed funds and partners to introduce capital from Xiangjiang and Austria. At least the sky is high and the earth is far away. They cannot interfere in the operation of the project, unlike domestic capital that interferes randomly.
However, even if you bring in a large amount of capital, with Li Qian's momentum, no matter how much money you have, it won't be enough.
Having been in the industry for more than ten years, even if I don’t count it, I just rely on the attendance and box office of this show, as well as the reputation of the audience online.
Many media and film critics even refused to accept their money when faced with such a reputation.
Of course Yu Dong doesn't think they are very noble. He is more afraid of being besieged by netizens and losing his reputation.
Although I don’t want to believe that a reality-themed movie has caused such a huge response, it now seems that it is very possible for Li Qian to take another step forward and break through the one billion box office mark.
This is a billion!
When they were still surprised by the box office of 500 to 600 million, Li Qian had hit 1 billion. He was really going to become the James Cameron of China, and he was still making one movie a year, and Cameron was extremely efficient.
.
They can only follow behind and drink soup!
...
Yudong is not the only one with a gloomy face, but the major companies are not much better.
Wang Changtian, who has always been a small-time troublemaker, feels so sorry for him now. Last year, "Fist of Fury" and "City Alert" suffered big losses, and he made a little profit with "Happy Events in the Flower Field". Now the marketing in the past month
, but it’s all in.
Moreover, he and Li Qian were completely at odds with each other. It was like stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
Xingmei's Tan Hong no longer cares about Li Qian. "Martial Arts" is a movie fully invested by Xingmei. Although the screening of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" did not have much influence on the film schedule, it directly made "Martial Arts" popular on the Internet.
There are no splashes on the screen, and the audience's attention is all on "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Originally, it was close to 100 million in seven days, and the box office was okay. In the second week, it also made 50 million. The 50% drop was within the acceptable range. It was appropriate to exceed 200 million.
But last week, coupled with the release of "Transformers 3", the box office dropped directly to 10 million.
The investment cost of "Martial Arts" was as high as 20 million U.S. dollars. The box office was less than 200 million U.S. dollars, and the loss was huge. God knows how Chen Kexin can spend money so much.
The only blockbuster film this year was a loss. Next year Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast" will still accept Li Qian's challenge. With Li Qian's temper, he will definitely not retreat. Maybe he won't fight Ma Xiaogang and pick them up.
This is a soft persimmon.
But Qin Hong was worried to death. Why would he get involved in a company that was mainly engaged in theater production and film and television production and distribution?
...
At Leshi Pictures, Zhang Zhaoye's hairline is receding more and more. Originally, he had a good relationship with Li Qian. He had always been in contact with Li Qian at Guangxian.
However, he was kicked away by Wang Changtian, and he was holding his breath. But as soon as Lay's raised its eyebrows, Li Qian poached his marketing director Huang Yan.
Huang Yan also took away half of the marketing team, and half of the network they had finally established was taken away by Huang Yan, who had founded them.
In a cruel move, Zhang Zhao also joined the actions of several major companies, but now he got this result.
We have no choice but to stop. The trolls can't beat them. Film critics and big Vs no longer accept orders. Boss Jia's business territory is getting bigger and bigger, and Lay's Pictures has limited funds.
Moreover, Lay's Pictures has just been established. If Li Qian wants to turn around and find fault with them one by one, Lay's will not be able to handle it.
...
As for Huayang Media, Huang Zhongjun was still having a meeting to discuss the next steps, but halfway through the meeting, he learned that all major companies had stopped.
Then there was a hammer meeting, and the friendly troops retreated without saying a word, and they were beaten on the head.
"The meeting is dismissed!"
Huang Zhongjun ended the meeting with a cold expression. Without waiting for others to react, he left the meeting room and returned to the office.
Huang Zhonglei came in after him, cursing, "They are all pig teammates. Rotten Winter Melon came up with the idea first, and ended up running the fastest without even notifying him!"
"Okay, it's useless to say anything now." Huang Zhongjun interrupted Huang Zhonglei who was cursing.
Although I am angry at what Dong and the others did, and feel sorry for the time spent during this period, as the helmsman of such a large company with a market value of tens of billions, I cannot let everything go on my face.
But in my heart, I have already scolded Yu Dong, Wang Changtian and the others.
There is no way to make a plan!
"Now it seems that it is inevitable that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will be a big hit, but it's not all bad news. This shows that playing the bitterness card is still very useful. Next year's "1942" will be stable."
Huang Zhongjun could only comfort himself in this way, which was the only good news.
Originally, although "Tangshan Earthquake" had a high box office, many criticisms were made about Ma Xiaogang's excessive sensationalism for consuming the suffering of ordinary people.
And "If You Are the One 2" did not receive a good reputation at the box office. Huang Zhongjun is somewhat worried about the prospects of "1942", otherwise he would not have only invested 100 million, and the rest was distributed to five or six companies and a few optoelectronics, by the way.
They even tricked Chongqing Film Group into building a film and television city.
Now Huang Zhongjun is completely relieved. The bitterness card still works, and the effect is great. The era setting of "1942" is very suitable for sensationalism.
...
After the screening, Li Qian also finished his rest and came to the company to start preparing for the next stage of work.
While I was having a meeting with several senior executives, I also received online trends, and all the trolls retreated.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This period of time had made them extremely nervous.
"Relax, times have changed. Audiences can no longer be deceived at will. In the Internet era, everything is on the surface. If the major companies do not have quality films, they are just chickens and dogs!"
Li Qian smiled and continued, "But we can't take it lightly. "Transformers 3" hit 400 million in four days last weekend. This is more difficult to deal with than several major companies combined. There is a tough battle ahead!"
