China Entertainment's performance is king

Chapter 1210 (Two in One)

Han Yan's call seemed to be a signal. Shen Lang was fine, but Xiao Tao kept receiving calls. Now there were more projects looking for Shen Lang.

Shen Lang is on a roadshow here, and there are a lot of people who care about his box office. Seeing the box office soaring, they are sadder than if a loved one died.

……

A movie theater closed.

"This movie is good. This is the first time Shen Lang plays a villain. I want to go in and beat him up."

"Who said it wasn't? How mean! Is this a reference to Young Master Wang?"

"I feel like, oh no, you didn't take a picture of me?"

"Oh my god, are you sick? Why are two grown men like us taking pictures?"

"You're just showing off. You know how hard it is to get a ticket. If it doesn't work, I'll buy another one."

"Sir, I'm sorry, there are no tickets left. There are no tickets for tomorrow, or tomorrow either."

The growth of movie box office is visible to the naked eye.

It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that many people had free time and looked at the box office, feeling a little frightened.

Especially those in the entertainment industry, is this what it’s like to be boycotted in the past? Why the more they are boycotted, the more popular they become?

"Yes, hotpot in every place has its own characteristics. It's not bad to change the taste occasionally. Sister Xiaotao, eat quickly and don't make phone calls." In Guangzhou, Shen Lang was having hotpot.

These days, he must have a hotpot every day, his hobby.

"Shen Lang, do you know how much our movie has grossed at the box office?" The smile on Xiao Tao's face was too obvious, completely different from the sad expression on her face a few days ago.

In fact, she didn't quite agree with Shen Lang's relationship with Wanda this time. After all, one is a star and the other is capital. However, who could have thought that the result would be like this.

Forced by the squeeze of capital, she has reached the current situation. She now has unprecedented trust in Shen Lang. This time, he was really a little scared.

"How much?" Shen Lang could actually guess it. He had seen it an hour ago, and the box office information is now real-time.

"It's exceeded 500 million, just in one day, today. Up to now, it has exceeded 500 million." Xiao Tao said.

"No, I don't think it's only 430 million. The prime time slot can't increase that much, right?" Shen Lang was really surprised.

That’s right, today’s box office was so exaggerated, it broke 200 million in half a day, and during the prime time, it directly reached 400 million. But it was only two hours, so what?

"And nowadays the box office has been growing. Don't forget that there are still many people who don't know that your daytime movie schedules have increased. Some people even buy tickets at night to keep up with the trend." Xiao Tao really wanted to hug Shen Lang and kiss him, but forget it. He only dates goddesses, and she has some self-knowledge.

"Breaking 500 million, the record has been broken again." Wu Bai said after taking a big sip of his drink.

"More than that, it has increased by nearly 200 million." Xiao Tao said.

"And it's not even Sunday. If this screening were still scheduled tomorrow, I wonder how much the box office would be." Wubai felt a little regretful.

Today is Thursday, a weekday, and many people cannot go to the movies, but even so, the box office has exceeded 500 million. I did not cooperate with the wrong person. No, I did not report the wrong person. I was a little confused before. It was not good for Shen Lang to criticize the capital, but now, whatever he says is the truth.

"Don't be too happy. The reason why today's box office is so high is mainly because many people are watching the movie out of revenge because they didn't get tickets before. Don't let your mentality drop if the box office drops tomorrow." Shen Lang is sensible.

"Of course not." Xiao Tao and Wu Bai are both in the circle and know this, but even if the box office is now, even if there is no box office tomorrow, both of them are happy.

Six days before the movie was released, the cumulative box office had reached over 560 million. But today, with less than an hour left, the box office has already reached 1.07 billion. Who could have imagined such an abnormal result?

The movie grossed over 1 billion yuan, and the investment had been recovered long ago. There was no publicity in the first place, so everyone was not under much pressure. Even if it did not reach the performance of Shen Lang's previous movies, the extreme box office ability it represented was even more obvious.

Shen Lang also felt the seriousness of the matter. He invested 1 billion points, but looking at the benefits of the points returned after consumption, he only got back 300 million. This is a bit too exaggerated. It can only be said that this time it was a combination of coincidences.

After midnight, Shen Lang was the only one left at the hot pot. He was actually very excited inside, after all, the whole world didn't think highly of him, but he managed to turn things around.

Although I can imagine that I will not fail, the feeling of success is really good. Wubai and Xiaotao have already run away, and they will definitely go back to accept compliments from their friends.

We were having hot pot just now when Wubai's cell phone kept ringing. Judging from the name, it was either producer Zhang or investor Wang.

This is the bonus that the movie brings to people. Even though we know that the box office revenue was brought by Shen Lang, the contributions of others cannot be erased.

By the early morning, the cumulative box office of "Big Shot" reached 1.1 billion. In less than an hour, during the midnight blockbuster, it had earned 30 million. Today's single-day box office set a historical record in film history, reaching more than 530 million.

The box office on this day directly surpassed the cumulative box office of "The Great Wall" in recent days. Now, the cumulative box office of "The Great Wall" is 490 million, and today it is only 20 million.

This has created a miracle. "The Great Wall" is already the second in the box office, so you can imagine its box office share.

A bunch of filmmakers looked at the 92% box office share of "Big Shot", and those who didn't know would think that there was only one movie "Big Shot" shown in theaters across the country.

This movie really made a lot of cinema chains very happy. Cinemas do not make any money most of the time, and they rely on some high-grossing films to offset their normal operating costs.

But today, Wanda, its biggest rival, cut off one of its own arms, and the share it didn't get was divided up by everyone. It can be said that by not giving Wanda the secret key, Shen Lang helped other cinema chains.

Of course, if Wanda releases the film, the box office will definitely increase. After all, you can't travel far just for a movie.

All I can say is that in the eyes of many people, Shen Lang and Wanda Cinemas were both hurt this time, but Shen Lang managed to hold on, and now it is Wanda's unilateral failure.

Many cinema chains are already discussing tomorrow's screening schedule. After the screening schedule was released today and the movie box office exceeded 100 million yuan, the smart people have already started negotiating.

"Railroad Tigers" and "The Ferryman" will both be released tomorrow. For those who have already signed the contract, they will definitely have their own screening schedule.

People were not optimistic about "Big Shot" before, and since both it and "The Great Wall" had been released for more than a week, their box office potential should have been similar, and it was also a normal business behavior. But who could have thought that "Big Shot" would be so perverted.

According to a lot of feedback today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are both holidays, so it will be at least a two-day box office harvest period, and everyone is very eager to make money.

In a place Shen Lang didn't know, people were still negotiating in the middle of the night. In a certain company, it was past midnight and people hadn't gotten off work yet. From time to time, people were answering or making calls.

"Dadi Cinemas has also come up with a new plan for scheduling. They want to know if they can allocate a little bit of the schedule for tomorrow and keep 20% of the schedule. After three days, they can increase the schedule appropriately."

"The United Cinemas sent a letter, guaranteeing a 23% screening rate, which is different from the previous 40%."

The middle-aged man listened to the reports from his subordinates. It was very troublesome. Things had already been discussed, but just because of a hit movie, they had to seize the screening of a new movie. Is this reasonable?

But think about it, they are doing it for their own benefit, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, all we can say is that benefit comes first.

He has contacted many persons in charge, and all he can say is that they are easy to talk about, but in reality they are not giving in at all.

What else could he do? He contacted the producers and discussed new countermeasures. But he was not Shen Lang and he did not have the courage to confront the theaters.

But when I think about the achievement of breaking 500 million in a single day, let alone 500 million, even a fraction of 30 million, if I were the one promoting and distributing this movie, I don't know how much money I would make.

I have to say, Shen Lang is really infuriating. Can't you spend some money on publicity and promotion? The worst thing is that you can make money without any publicity and promotion. It's disgusting.

Moreover, he also complained, especially about Dadi Cinemas, you forgot that you are still a shareholder of our distribution company.

All I can say is that they care most about the attendance rate of their own cinemas. From the cinema's point of view, I'll just let you give way a little, what's the big deal.

As the producer of "The Ferryman", many people were also waiting for news, and finally formulated a new promotional method. There was no other way, if the theaters really talk to you nicely, you have to listen, you are not Shen Lang.

When the actor with electric eyes received a call, he would normally just say it on WeChat, but for a big star like this, he must be treated differently and notify his agent directly.

"Oh, got it." The actor with electric eyes hung up the phone.

"What's wrong? Has the screening schedule been cut?" Liu Jialing joked with her husband. The two of them actually didn't look like a normal couple, but Liu Jialing would definitely be there at the roadshow tomorrow. See you above.

"Do so many people know about this?" The actor with electric eyes looked curiously at his wife who had just finished a phone call.

“It’s because of this incident too. If you hadn’t chatted with me on WeChat, you wouldn’t have known about it, but now everyone with more up-to-date information knows that all the major cinema chains are negotiating and want to reduce the screening schedules of The Ferryman and Railroad Tigers.

The single-day box office of Shen Lang's "Big Shot" almost broke 100 million US dollars, which scared everyone. Major theaters felt that there was still great box office potential during the weekend. This movie has a high probability of breaking 2 billion, just like Shen Lang's previous movies.

This time Wanda is not here, so everyone can eat more, and naturally they have to find ways to schedule more screenings for Big Shot.”

"This Shen Lang is so powerful now." said the actor with electric eyes.

"Of course. I thought he was going to be out of fashion this time. Who could have thought that he could make a comeback." Liu Jialing was very curious about Shen Lang. She wondered if this fresh meat tasted good.

In fact, she had wanted to meet Shen Lang for a long time, but they had no intersection.

On the other hand, singer Dr. Chen was also notified.

"Wow, that's amazing, it's a sudden change, what can I do?" He didn't take it seriously.

"Doctor, this person has great creative ability. If you have time, you can contact him for cooperation."

"This is acceptable."

……

Baby also knew about the change in schedule. She was well-informed and knew that they had been discussing it all day. It seemed that they had only just reached an agreement a moment later.

She is quite busy today. "The Ferryman" has already started the roadshow and has been running for a whole day. She is not like Shen Lang, who starts roadshows after the movie is released. Normally, roadshows have to be promoted half a month or a month in advance to let more people know that the movie is going to be released.

After taking a break, she learned about the box office of "Big Shot" and immediately paid attention to it. A few days ago, she was very concerned about Shen Lang's "Big Shot".

One is that she and Shen Lang are friends, so it is normal to pay attention to him. The other is that she is also wondering whether Shen Lang can make a comeback.

A few days ago, she and Shen Lang had been in contact. Even if something went wrong, at most their relationship would not be exposed and netizens would not complain. If she ignored him because of some things, that would be a bit inhuman.

After seeing the box office of "Big Shot" a few days ago, she became more determined to remain good friends with Shen Lang.

Even though it was suppressed, the box office was still so high. But when I looked today, the box office for this day was so scary. It was higher than the box office for most of her movies during their release cycle, and it is increasing day by day and month by month.

No, I have to send my blessing to Shen Lang quickly. Good friends like him are all resources in the entertainment industry. I’m calling him. Talking now.

……

Liu Tianxian also learned that the theaters were negotiating with two new movies tomorrow, and she felt a wave of emotions.

She seemed to really admire Shen Lang. Shen Lang's behavior did seem childish, but when he succeeded, this childishness turned into courage.

She had also suffered many attacks, but never had she been attacked directly like Shen Lang.

Fat Bingbing looked at the results of "Big Shot" after midnight, and suddenly wanted to hug Shen Lang and kiss him a few times.

Mr. Wang had confronted her before, and although she had responded, she ended up keeping silent in the end.

This time, "I Am Not Madame Bovary" was also targeted by Wanda's screening schedule. Xiao Gangpao did respond, and she silently liked it. That's all she could do.

But what Shen Lang did was to directly confront Young Master Wang, "Since you treat me like this, I will not cooperate with your family anymore." This counterattack was very satisfying.

This has to be acknowledged. Even if you think he is childish, his behavior is indeed the most venting behavior.

Shen Lang did things that most celebrities didn't dare to do, and he was not afraid at all. However, his performance today directly slapped Wanda in the face.

Even without your cinemas, I am still so strong and have even broken records in film history. I am not affected at all without your existence.

This is the biggest counterattack. Pang Bingbing is excited here. Even if they are very mature artists, if others do things that she cannot do and succeed, she must make contact with them.

Well, I have to contact him more often. Nowadays, his reputation doesn't seem to affect his box office ability. So, can I cooperate with him?

Even big stars have to bow their heads when faced with 500 million yuan a day. This is the actual performance.

……

Big Brother Long also received the message. Relatively speaking, he is easy to talk to. In fact, it would not work if he were not easy to talk to.

Many people know that the theaters are not forcing you, but it is equivalent to forcing you. Of course you can follow the contract, but if you do this, the theaters will arrange midnight shows for you and schedule your films for midnight shows. That is also scheduling a film, so you might as well give in.
