In the office, Robert looked at his watch frequently, time passed so slowly, and the hour hand had just reached twelve.
García Rodríguez sat behind the computer, quickly logged in to his mailbox, but there were no new emails, and started refreshing the web page frequently, looking at the phone from time to time.
David Villa couldn't sit still at all, pacing back and forth, with intensive sweat on his forehead. He was responsible for the promotion and marketing of this film. Although there was a lot of good news today, the box office statistics came out. Before, no one can guarantee success.
Ronan leaned on the sofa, his face was very calm, but his heart was a little anxious.
The announcement of the "Human Removal Project" was handed over to Lionsgate. At that time, his investment was limited, and this "Blair the Witch", from the purchase of the film to the promotion to the release, had a total investment of tens of millions of dollars.
With such a large investment, if you can't get the corresponding return, even if most of the money comes from financing, it will bring a lot of trouble.
What if it succeeds?
Considering the great success of this film in previous lives, even Ronan is a little envious.
Success will gradually enrich the cash flow in hand and achieve more plans and goals.
"New mail!"
Garcia Rodríguez’s voice caught everyone’s attention. Ronan looked at him and asked, "Is the statistics come out?"
"Yes!" Garcia said quickly: "200 theaters, 200 screens, and a box office of 4.12 million dollars a day on Friday!"
David Villa widened his eyes, looked at Garcia in surprise, and subconsciously asked, "How much?"
Garcia repeated: "4.12 million dollars!"
David Villa stretched his head forward, his face flushed, and he changed from his dreary appearance, almost shouting: "4.12 million U.S. dollars! God! 4.12 million U.S. dollars!"
"A single-day single library averages US$20,000..."
After saying this, Garcia couldn't help it anymore, his breathing became rapid, and he clenched his teeth and shook his fist!
The output on this day is higher than the previous year's revenue of Embassy Pictures!
The future of Embassy Pictures is bright!
Ronan stood up and let out a sigh of relief, with a happy smile on his face unconsciously, continuously investing so much money, to say that there is no pressure is definitely a fake.
At this moment the pressure is relieved and success is in sight!
Robert came over, looked at Ronan, and said, "We succeeded again."
The eyes looking at Ronan are hot. Since the beginning of last year, how many times Ronan has led them to create success?
Two times Abu Dhabi scammed money...No, it was financing. The operation of the "Human Removal Program" was a big win. It took tax rebates from Germany, purchased issuing companies, and established its own distribution channels...
All of this, I didn't even dare to think about it before, but now it has become a reality under the leadership of Ronan.
The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the office, and then the office door was pushed open from the outside, and Thomas, director of the theater distribution department, and Terry, the director of offline distribution department, hurriedly walked in.
Although the two did not participate in the announcement of "Blair the Witch" on the spot, but were preparing for the release of "Death Is Coming", they have been paying attention to the developments here.
"How much is the box office?" Thomas asked urgently.
David Villa walked over and gave Thomas a bear hug without saying a word.
Seeing David Villa, who was dull in the past, suddenly became so enthusiastic, Thomas was a little confused: Is this the legendary sorrow?
"$4.12 million!" David Villa slapped Thomas on the back hard: "Single-day box office has exceeded $20,000!"
Thomas took a breath: "US$20,000 per day in a single library?"
Terry was also taken aback. He has been in film distribution for ten years and has never experienced such a situation personally.
Then, Thomas and Terry's eyes fell on Ronan. Ronan's nearly whimsical plan was not only successful, but also a great success!
Garcia didn't bother with his subordinates, but looked at Ronan with complicated eyes. They were more of the executor of the film "Blair the Witch", and Ronan was the real leader.
As a result, this young man brought a marketing case that might become a classic textbook in the future with his unconstrained handwriting.
Garcia lamented that sometimes ability really has nothing to do with age.
On the first day, the box office of the single hall was US$20,000. How much was the single hall box office for three days on the weekend?
This is an expectation with excitement.
"I'll tell them the news!"
Terry pointed to the outside of the office, then strode out, and there was a burst of cheers outside the office after not much meeting.
Ronan stood up, with excitement in his voice, and said: "Let’s talk about work first. David, put the remaining publicity funds on the market as planned. Robert, contact the printing factory and FedEx, and prepare for 3000 copies. Garcia Communicate with several major commercial chain theater companies to request additional theaters and film schedules next week, and strive to get more than 2,500 theaters."
"it is good!"
Several people responded and began to get busy.
Ronan checked the time. It was almost one o'clock in the morning. He opened the door and walked out of the office to the employees' office area.
"Chairman!"
"Chairman..."
"Chairman."
A man stood up and said hello to Ronan, his eyes full of excitement and admiration. It was the young and excessive chairman who had just led them to an unimaginable success.
These are all old employees of the Embassy Pictures. After the company was acquired, although the treatment and the like were better than before, in their eyes, Ronan was far more than the chairman of the board.
Actually participated in this promotion and distribution, and won such an excellent box office on the first day of the show. These people are deeply aware that the company is simply lucky for this young man to buy.
Only when the company's income is high, the scale is large, and the released films are sold, they can develop better.
In the past, Embassy Pictures could not bring these.
Now, this man named Ronan Anderson has brought it!
Fortunately, it was acquired!
Ronan can see that employees are changing, and success can often solve many problems.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone has worked so hard during this time!" Ronan showed the attitude of caring for employees: "This month, the company bonus has doubled."
"Wow--"
A young man shouted excitedly.
Ronan didn't care, and said, "It's getting late, go back and rest."
Not long after the employees left one after another, Ronan was also going home.
Coming downstairs, just getting in the car, he received a call from Jessica Felton.
"How much is the box office today?" Jessica Felton asked: "I can't find it here."
Ronan didn't answer directly, instead he said, "Aren't you focused on technical research? Why are you concerned about the box office?"
Jessica Felton said on the phone: "This is the film I cut out by myself!"
"200 theaters, 4.12 million U.S. dollars." Ronan said simply: "Single-day box office in a single theater exceeded 20,000 U.S. dollars."
Jessica Felton was a little surprised: "Your deception strategy succeeded?"
Ronan was a little helpless, and emphasized: "This is commercial operation, it's promotion and marketing. How can it be deceived?"
"It seems to be successful again, I'm still pretty good." Jessica Felton first boasted, and then said: "I'm going to get down to sleep, good night."
Get down? A picture flashed in Ronan's mind, would it blow up?
"Remember to take a bath." Ronan specially reminded: "It is summer now. If you don't take a bath, you will get smelly tomorrow."
Hang up the phone, start the car, and leave the company.
Returning to his apartment in North Hollywood, Ronan received another call from Robert. He contacted several printing factories and the corresponding FedEx overnight. After paying the deposit early tomorrow morning, they would work overtime and start working.
Just like Hollywood movies, copy development has long realized streamlined production.
Not to mention FedEx, as long as the freight is sufficient, their delivery service is calculated by the hour.
On Saturday morning the next day, Ronan first went to the Warner Studios to watch the filming of "Death is Here" and "Ace Agent". After processing some documents, he rushed to Embassy Pictures.
The remaining 100 copies have been sent out, and several theaters in the surrounding area of Los Angeles will be able to get them today, adding an extra screen.
Early in the morning, Garcia went to the Los Angeles branches of several major theater companies to discuss the expansion of "Blair the Witch" next week~EbookFREE.me~ David Villa is also contacting online and offline personnel, further Expand the influence of the film.
Encouraged by the huge box office success on the first day, the entire embassy film industry has entered a state of ultra-high-speed operation that has never been seen before.
After staying in the Embassy Pictures for a while, Ronan drove to two independent theaters in downtown Los Angeles to see the situation.
The theater was full of people, and countless people were discussing the film and the witch.
However, everyone who has watched the film is somewhat dissatisfied with the film.
Ronan could also imagine this situation. He entered the theater with extremely high expectations, only to see such a shoddy video. Even if the previous propaganda said it was a missing person using DV to take selfies, he would still let him Some people were disappointed.
This is essentially a movie that scams a vote.
Don't worry about causing some people to be disappointed. Only if there is discussion and topicality, enough heat can be maintained.
Those movies that have caused great controversy often get good box office results.
When going to another theater, Ronan also saw people from Cinema Company doing the on-site investigation of the theater, and he leaned in to listen to it for a while.
The ratings of the audience who just watched the screening were average. Among the several ratings he heard, the highest score was only B-, most of them got a score of C or so, and some even gave an E.
But for this film, the box office is definitely not accurate enough to measure the box office based on the audience ratings.
The two theaters looked at the scene, and Ronan believed that this movie would not be worse than the previous life at least.
The social enthusiasm has been provoked, and even if there is controversy, many people are willing to take a closer look.
Human curiosity cannot be suppressed so easily.
