Chapter 486 Buying Tickets Online
The first thing Gan Jing did when he returned to the capital was to confirm that the dog was still alive and kicking. He didn't doubt the animal's ability to survive, but he was afraid that it would die suddenly in front of the computer screen.

Gouzi's obsession with games is a bit like his own obsession with the characters in the play.

Sometimes when Gan Jing sees the dog's concentration, he feels that there is God's will in the dark—it's not a dog, and it doesn't come into the house!

On the night when he arrived at home, he had a good rest, and on the second day, he studied the announcement plan sent by An Li.

"Fantasy Drifting of Boy Pi" is only going to be promoted in theaters in five big cities across the country, and more focus is to use the network platform to complete, QQ, Weibo, WeChat, portal homepage... these network traffic It is getting more and more attention.

Ang Lee has confidence in his work. He believes that the word-of-mouth of the work will be fermented on the Internet and get more feedback. The department in charge of distribution has accepted this statement. With a halo of trust.

On October 29th, the first day of the publicity campaign in Beijing, the online pre-sale of tickets had already broken the previous record—Gan Jing was very accepting of this news, and he really felt that the focus of the audience was shifting more and more.

He deliberately went online to find out, and found that many people booked tickets from Guevara or Maoyan.

Before the promotional event in the theater that day, he cheerfully satisfied the fans' photo and autograph requirements. By the way, he learned about the real situation and found that the proportion of online ticket purchases was seven to eight out of ten.

This ratio is quite astonishing-although there are also reasons why pre-sales are more convenient to buy online, the trend seen from this is still obvious.

"Director Li, what is the box office in your mind for this movie?"

In the media interview session, the reporter asked questions that are always asked in film promotion activities.

Sitting opposite A-Gump, Li An took the microphone and replied with a smile: "There must be hundreds of millions in the country, right?" He looked at A-Gump who was distracted, "With A-Gump here, I am quite confident. At the very least, he lost his body and devoted himself to art."

Gan Jing was bewildered by the laughter, and silently put away his thoughts about online ticket purchases, and decided to think about it after he went back. He raised the microphone in his hand: "I also have confidence in Director Li."

Without waiting for the reporter to ask himself, he said directly: "The global box office is hard to predict, and I think the domestic box office should be [-] to [-] million."

Another reporter took advantage of the situation and asked: "Forrest Gump, what is your basis for predicting the box office?"

Gan Jing stared: "I am the evidence."

This stare frightened the reporter who asked the question abruptly, but Gan Jing explained with a smile in the next second: "I'm just kidding. This film has a better schedule, and there are relatively few domestic films. Director Li is reliable. All of these It’s the basis. Now that the domestic market is getting better and better, I think there must be a goal. Let’s put it this way, I don’t think it’s a problem if there’s another [-] million.”

——The domestic enemy turned into a friendly army, Director Li is reliable and charming, I Forrest Gump dedicated my life to art, and the box office of [-] million is not naive.

Four to five billion plus one hundred million, that's five to six billion.

It is now the end of October. At the beginning of the month, it was just announced that Huaxia has surpassed the Neon Country and officially become the world's second largest box office market. Into the top few.

Gan Jing said it lightly, but the people in the audience felt... a little dissatisfied - not too much, but too little.

"Forrest Gump, the box office is not enough for the cost, is it? Is such a result satisfying you?" a reporter from "Entertainment Weekly" asked.

Gan Jing's eyes really widened this time, and he didn't act on purpose just now. He looked at Director Ang Lee in surprise, and then at a group of reporters under the stands, and asked uncertainly, "Am I out of date? This number Is it missing?"

"Uh, this film has overseas revenue. Well, I'm not too greedy. Compared with the box office, I think you all know what I want more." Gan Jing blinked, showing a charming and meaningful expression Smile.

At this moment, many people in the audience chanted one word in their hearts, Oscar, Oscar.

Looking at Forrest Gump, who was smiling freely on the stage, they couldn't help but wonder, could they really win an Oscar?How far is Forrest Gump from Oscar?Or, how close?
The farthest distance in the world is when I nominated for the first time, but passed you by.

The furthest distance in the world is my second nomination, but I passed you by.

The furthest distance in the world is my third nomination...

At the end of the event that day, most of the pictures in the media used Forrest Gump smiling, and the words were also to cheer him up. After all, the media who were invited to the event were all well-connected or arranged in advance. It is still possible to say something nice in front of the work.

The publicity and distribution activities of Beijing Cinemas were relatively easy to complete. After the event, Gan Jing chatted with director Ang Lee, and satisfied the fans waiting outside. Signing autographs until the hand hurts, and taking pictures with hyaluronic acid on the face.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, he returned to his residence, and Lao Chen had already been waiting here.

It is relatively easy for agents to make money. There is a fixed salary and a commission, especially when they have big names under their hands. However, there are indeed many things that they need to be responsible for. Irregular diet and work and rest are the norm.

"The publicity response is not bad. There are spot check data on Weibo and feedback on the official website. Everyone is still looking forward to your work." Lao Chen reported the situation, "However, the superhero series is still more attractive. You There is no Batman event yet, and many people are waiting on the screen."

Gan Jing's whole body was sore, and his legs had already been weak from standing. When he entered the door, he took off his shoes, walked to the sofa in his socks, and waved his hands: "I don't know why. I don’t care too much, as long as there is a big difference. Today, there is something, I found that there are a lot of people buying tickets online.”

"Well, the Internet is developing fast." Old Chen nodded.

"Then can we make such a software ourselves?" Gan Jing expressed his thoughts. He thinks that anything that can benefit watching movies is a good thing.

Old Chen hesitated and said: "Actually, I have noticed it, but now the online ticketing platforms are basically losing money. What are the 9.9 ticket sales and the like, they are paid."

9.9 yuan movie ticket?
Gan Jing was stunned for a moment, he was indeed losing money, the theater chain alone should have exceeded this figure, right?
Lao Chen went on to add: "Currently there are mainly Che Guevara and Maoyan in the market. Maoyan is made by Meituan, and Meituan is an O2O group buying website, the kind that burns money and burns habits."

Gan Jing's mind, which was a little ready to move, calmed down. He thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone and called Lei Jun.

Speaking of which, since he became a shareholder of Xiaomi, when he approached Mr. Lei, he always asked about things that had nothing to do with Xiaomi. I don't know if this boss will feel depressed.

"Boss Lei, buy tickets online..." Gan Jing balabala a lot on the phone, briefly describing what he saw and felt.

After a few minutes, he hung up the phone, looked at Lao Chen who had been paying attention to him, and summed up the opinions he had heard from Lei Jun.

— Forrest Gump, do it.
