Chapter 818: Box office calculation unit 1

On December 23, Taiyuan.
The zero field of "A World Without Thieves" has nothing to do with this city. People live as usual. Yesterday Friday, today Saturday, nothing more.
Xiao Wang works in a theater in this city. Double repair is impossible. He can only take turns on a monthly basis.
She arrived at the theater at 8:30 in the morning, cleaning, changing uniforms, and preparing for the day's ticket sales.
The uniform is very ugly. I heard that the brothers in the capital have a white shirt, black stockings and a small black suit. But it cannot be implemented, because heating cannot be guaranteed here and it can freeze to death in winter.
Even so, the theater is good locally, otherwise it would not join the China Film era.
"Manager, when shall we renovate?"
"The leader above is talking to the other side. If there can be a controlling stake, they will invest money to help us transform and upgrade."
"Then do you think it can be done?"
"Okay, it's easy to hold your thigh."
The manager chatted with everyone and asked: "Xiao Wang, have you posted the schedule?"
"It's done. "A World Without Thieves" is a bit too much, accounting for 90%."
"It's more than 90%? I don't even look at what movies there are now. If it weren't for the theater rules, I would like to rank 100%!"
"Are there so many people watching?"
"Hey, the box office at zero o'clock..."
The manager hesitated to say something, and said, "Forget it, you'll know when it is announced. This movie is going to hit the single-day box office and the first week's box office. National theaters are waiting.
Well, this year's New Year's Eve film debut, we also cheer up! "
At 9 o'clock, the personnel are in place.
Anticipating that this film would be popular, I didn't expect that a few viewers walked in during the first scene during the day. Not much, but much better than before.
The audience was surprised by the uniformly customized poster and the life-size humanoid stand. They were not sure and asked: "A World Without Thieves has been released, right?
I heard that I'm coming here for a meeting, is it true? "
"Hello. The film is released today. You can buy the first ticket. The meeting will be affirmative. The specific time is still being communicated."
Xiao Wang kept smiling: "Next, I recommend you to apply for a membership card..."
The same scenario happened all over the country, not just in the China Film era.
The first batch of 30 cinema chains, 872 franchised cinemas, 1581 screens. The average price is 1.8 yuan per house, which is horribly shabby.
Except for places where the actual conditions are not good, generally larger theaters are included in the unified screening range. The number is 610, 1098 screens.
There is no precedent in domestic history.
Later generations can account for more than 30% of the film, even if it is pushed hard. Now that there are fewer screens, but fewer film sources, "A World Without Thieves" can get a frenzied number of films.
…………
At night, China Film Times Studios.
The hustle and bustle of the zero-point field has not disappeared, and the staff ushered in a busy day.
Compared with yesterday, the ticket hall has changed a lot. In addition to the human-shaped stand for publicity, a place was actually circled, sprinkled with artificial snow, and a sleigh pulled by a reindeer was set up with Santa Claus.
There is an empty seat next to Santa Claus, and the sign says: "You can take pictures, don't damage it."
What is even more exaggerated is that those black girls also wear red Christmas hats...
"At 7:10, two "A World Without Thieves"!"
"Sorry, it's sold out, and there are still 7:40."
"what?"
The girl was unhappy and said, "It's in the small hall at 7:40, I want to see the hall 2."
"Aren't they all the same?"
"My roommate watched the zero-point field in Hall 2 and said that the sound system was overbearing...Is there still a 9:20?"
"some."
"Then buy it at 9:20."
"We have activities now, half price for couple tickets. You volunteer to participate, if you pass, you can enjoy half price."
Hiss!
The boy shook his whole body. Oh, is it possible that he has to take an exam? But how do couples take the exam? Is it possible that the achievement is the kissing contest seen in the movie?
What will she promise to do later? Should I hold back for a while or refuse, can I stick out my tongue? ? ?
The two went to the other side, and there was a small table surrounded by spectators.
The host said loudly: "Two people come on stage, one man and one woman, one man, one man, one woman and one woman do not matter. Embrace for 10 seconds, you can enjoy a half price discount, and participate in the lottery with your membership card.
The prizes are all behind me, very generous..."
If you kiss, you still have some concerns, who cares if you hug?
The scene is enthusiastic, go up a pair, everyone counts: "10, 9, 8, 7..."
These boys and girls are also bold enough to go up, don't look at the brains so much, first love, for the first time to embrace a fragrant and soft girl.
The feet are soft down.
Like the legendary Yue Lao, Mr. Xu has contributed to how many couples and how many couples have been separated.
The young man pierced the window paper, holding hands naturally, and went shopping elsewhere.
When I came to the bookstore on the second floor, it became quiet in an instant. There were not many things on the shelves, all of which were series products. For example, the soundtrack of "The Wind", a signed poster, and an album of behind-the-scenes stories.
A collection of previous Lunar New Year films, photos and desk calendars of its stars.
Few people buy it, just take a stroll. The girl looked around and suddenly found a big box and asked, "What is this?"
"Film puzzle."
The clerk introduced: "Do you know the five-year plan... Yes, we will make a puzzle for every movie. This is "A World Without Thieves".
These films can also be put together to form a film projector pattern. "
"It's boring."
The girl muttered.
The clerk laughed and said: "The rise of Chinese films depends not only on filmmakers, but also everyone's support. This is actually a reward activity. As long as you put together the projector, you can get a VIP card of the highest level."
"What is the use?"
"Watching here is free for you forever."
Wow!
The girl was surprised and a little startled, as if she was given meaning and value in an instant, and she had a proper sense of history!
I bought a set of puzzles immediately.
...
Hall 5.
Xu Fei and Tsui Hark led one vote, and they were holding a media conference.
Reporters have seen the media field of "A World Without Thieves" in advance, and today it is a form of propaganda.
"Director Xu, it's your first time to make a movie in mainland China, can you talk about your feelings?"
"The biggest feeling is the rhythm. No matter what Hong Kong does, it is very fast. It is slow here. It does not mean underdeveloped, but it is very standardized, which is beyond my imagination.
Filming a movie in Hong Kong within a few days is not a healthy way to operate. I think "A World Without Thieves" is the most organized film I have handled. "
"Which actor has the deepest impression?"
"Teacher Ge You."
Ge Youlian didn’t dare not dare, Old Monster Xu laughed:
You can’t find a slow-paced actor like Teacher Ge in Hong Kong. His line style was not used to listening at first, but afterwards, I thought it was a great one. This way."
"Gong Li, you have always been passionate about art films. Why do you frequently appear in commercial films in recent years?"
"You should ask my boss, I can't be the master again."
Gong Li shook the pot, and Teacher Xu smiled and said: "The dispute between business and art, I expressed my views at the Golden Rooster Award, so I won't repeat it."
It's okay not to mention it, but excited to mention it.
"When will Mr. Xu prepare for the new award?"
"Did you think of a name?"
"Is it really based on the media?"
He quickly interrupted: "Drifted off the topic, let alone this, go on!"
A reporter said: "According to some viewers, Wang Bo's death was unacceptable, thinking that it was a tragedy and should not be placed in the Lunar New Year stall. Others said that Boss Xu kept making commercial films and ended up a literary film."
"It's either a tragic ending or art, and everyone's joy is business. As long as the ending is logical and unscrupulous, there is nothing to dispute."
"But there is an argument on the Internet that because the male protagonist is a thief, there can be no good ending. What do you think of this?"
"I agree."
"what?"
The reporter thought he wanted to refute.
"A World Without Thieves" is a mainstream commercial film in the mainland. What is a mainstream commercial film? It is a film that conforms to the mainstream values. Evil is overwhelming, good people are rewarded, and violations of the law must be punished...
Is this wrong?
Of course it is.
The key is whether our genre films can be richer and whether the policy can be more open so that everyone can see different styles of films. "
"Then do you think the policy will be more open?"
"I can only say that we are all working hard."
After the interview, the waiter carried plastic bags one by one, all of which were simple meals from the store downstairs.
The reporters ate here, and the creator went to the 3rd hall to eat, which was also pizza, beef rice and so on.
Old Monster Xu found it very novel, and said: "I made a mistake just now. Boss Xu's film is slow, but the promotion is much faster than in Hong Kong. I have never experienced such an intense promotion schedule."
"Let you adapt in advance, get used to it earlier."
Shi Nansheng exquisitely asked, "Mr. Xu, is the box office at the zero o'clock show?"
"It's out, we count it in the box office on the first day, and it will be announced in a few days."
"Looking at you, you know it's good, this film is over 100 million?"
"But what am I busy with? Don't think too much, the mainland is so big."
"Yes, the mainland is so big."
Shi Nansheng agrees very much, so he supports Tsui Hark's friendship with the big guys, paving the way for the north.
Xu Fei took a piece of pizza and leaned over to the actor: "How do you feel?"
"I feel worried about next year."
Ge You opened his mouth unexpectedly and said: "I suddenly regretted it. You said that you would make one movie, but no one can guarantee that all of them would be popular.
What about success this year and failure next year? The audience likes you now, will they hate you in the future? Recently, I have been under pressure inexplicably, and feel that I am really going to be hated by the audience, so I just retire. "
"Don't, I used to play your niece, but now I play your lover. Don't the audience still like you?" Cao Ying teased him.
"puff!"
"puff!"
Spray all over the table.
Zhao Yanni was abducted by Bai Fendou!
Ye Qingjie!
After resting for a long time, watching that Hall 2 was almost finished, a group of people got up and went over.
The list of production staff was scrolling on the screen, the light was just turned on, and the creator hula la appeared on stage. Cheers all around in an instant, but the reporter still took pictures before leaving.
Tsui Hark was enthusiastic and active, after all, it was the first one.
Old people like Ge You and Gong Li can even count the smiles to a few cents, just to save some energy. They know that this is just the beginning of the devil's propaganda.
