Jiang Bei clicked on the real-time box office monitor on the Cat's Eye. The box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" broke through 200 million.
This data was very explosive!
"Return to 1949" only earned 29 million yuan at the box office.
Tomorrow's War was slightly better, only earning 33 million at the box office.
The youthful "Deskmate Years" was suppressed by "Let the Bullets Fly", a tough gangster film. It showed a trend of one losing and the other gaining. It actually only had 18 million at the box office.
One had to know that among the younger audience, Campus Youth had always been low-cost and high-box-office.
This was mainly because the market was biased towards fresh meat.
The funniest was Qiao Yu's "Winter's Warmth". It was originally scheduled to be released at Christmas, but due to the conflict with Jiang Bei, Hua Yi pressured the producers. At the same time, Hua Yi, as the investor, forced the director to release it ahead of schedule.
What a joke.
How could the weather on November be like winter…
How could a movie that sold tears compete with a 'tough guy?'!
In addition, the lead actor, Qiao Yu, was caught in the scandal and was named by the officials for self-investigation. The advertising contracts involving the movie were canceled one after another.
The investors lost money.
"Winter's Warmth" had a total production cost of 80 million, and Qiao Yu had spent 39 million. However, the box office sales were only 2.1 million…
He laughed to death.
On Weibo, Qiao Yu was already being attacked by everyone. He did not respect women and was being attacked by the women's rights camp on Weibo.
Cold is a word I don't say the second time...
And the screening time of "Winter's Warmth" was squeezed to 6%. Compared to "Let the Bullets Fly", it was 11 times worse!
What was there to play with?
It couldn't be helped."Let the Bullets Fly" was just too popular. Pre-orders for movies were usually only available on the second or third day. Even if there was a 66% over-screening rate, some viewers would still watch it twice or thrice, causing "Let the Bullets Fly" to be filled to the brim!
The audience who had seen it would not be satisfied, and those who had not seen it would not be able to buy tickets.
More importantly, he couldn't buy it later…
This led to netizens requesting to open up the entire 11th National Day to pre-order.
...
At this moment, the big shots were sitting in rows in the China Film Corporation building.
At the investor meeting of Let the Bullets Fly, Director Jiang was beaming.
Qin Yingzhi, the CEO of China Film, Xu Lingjian, the Vice President of Wan Da Cinemas, the head of the Film Association, the national manager of the eight major cinemas, and Ma Ke, the producer and investor.
In addition, there was also an unexpected person, Qiao Xinyue, who represented the Central Emperor!
Brother Fa, Uncle Ge, and Liu Jialing were all there, but Jiang Bei was missing.
"Xiao Bei is on his way. From the airport to Wangjing…" Director Jiang looked down at his watch."About 40 minutes.”
He turned his head and looked at the CEO of China Film and got straight to the point.
"President Qin, I didn't mean anything by it, but there aren't enough movies in the same period. Let the Bullets Fly is a huge hit right now. I'm not trying to make myself look good, I'm just preselling it until the second or third day, it's really affecting the box office!”
"Ma Ke's studio, Wan Da, and Zhong Huang, we have a bet…"
"Besides, I'll only pay Xiao Bei 600,000 yuan for his role in 'Let the Bullets Fly'! 600,000!"
After saying that, he gestured 666…He sighed.
"If outsiders find out that I, Jiang Wen, have taken advantage of others, with Xiao Bei's current popularity, do you believe that the netizens will drown me in their saliva?!”
Everyone could not help but laugh.
Qin Yingzhi, the CEO of Central Film, shook his head and smiled bitterly as he pointed at Jiang Wen.
"You, Jiang Wen, are the biggest bandit leader in the capital. Alright, we've discussed it today.'Let the Bullets Fly' is a hit and has a huge popularity. It's praised on the internet. As for the movie's content, it's also a positive energy that advocates punishing evil. There's no reason to hide it.”
The filming of the movie was not arranged blindly.
The second and third day of the pre-sales took into account all sorts of reasons.
Many films had rubbish content. They couldn't even be sold out on the first day, let alone the next day. If they were to blindly arrange the screenings, it would cause the theater chains to be unable to maximize their profits and harm the interests of the hospital.
However, it was different for popular movies.
(Take Wolf Warrior 2 as a reference. It will be released 50 days later and will be delayed for 2 months…)
Secondly, it was the regulations of the China Film Association.
When Director Jiang heard that there was a chance, he smiled and said,"Hehe, I knew it. You can't let us, the film industry's people, be disappointed. Besides, there are still these newcomers in Jiangbei…"
Tsk tsk…
Protecting her cub…
"The people from the China Film Association have also said that they have agreed to let Let the Bullets Fly's screening schedule be moved forward by seven days.”
Vice President Xu Lingjian also said.
"Let the Bullets Fly's results are very good. We should indeed give them more screenings. We're planning to reduce the number of films in the same period and give 75% of the screenings to Let the Bullets Fly. That's good enough, right, Director Jiang?"”
Jiang Wen smiled happily and rubbed his hands.""That's a good relationship.
But Return to 1949 can't be lower than 15%.”
* Cough cough * What day was National Day? At this time, there would definitely be a romantic movie. This was an old tradition that could not be changed.
There was no need to explain.
The managers of the eight cinemas also nodded and expressed their opinions.
"Our Earth Cinemas is also willing to give Director Jiang more screenings. It's not for anything else but to contribute to the domestic movies.”
"Same goes for Hengdian Film and Television. We will support you to the greatest extent.”
"Hengda is also the leader of the group. Don't worry."”
Now that they had settled on the extra screenings, the only thing left was to give Jiang Bei a certain amount of dividends!
China Film and Wan Da were the distribution companies, and the eight major cinemas were responsible for the distribution of the film. It involved the internal dividends of the film, so it was not something they could control. They would leave first.
As for Ma Ke's studio and Zhong Huang, they were investors, so they naturally had to participate.
When the assistant brought Jiang Bei to the meeting room, everyone stood up and applauded.
Jiang Bei looked apologetic."Sorry, Director Jiang, Uncle Ge, Brother Fa, Sister Jialing. I'm late."”
Director Jiang hugged Jiang Bei and smiled happily.
"What late? It's not late at all.”
They sat down.
Director Jiang said,"Thank you for the trust of the main leads and investors. The performance of this movie is too good. As the main lead of Jiang Bei, I plan to…" Give me some dividends."
Jiang Bei waved his hand and said,""No, no, no, Director Jiang. We've agreed on the remuneration in advance... Besides, you've already given me a 2 million private red packet…"
As the representative of the Central Emperor, Qiao Xinyue had been staring at him since she came from Jiangbei.
Dressed in a double G suit, sheepskin waist, cropped pants, high heels, and a handbag, she was the big sister, Ben Yu!
Director Jiang waved his hand.
"Xiaobei, the success of a movie depends on the actors. In the end, I'm a director. I know how to shoot it in my head, but if the actors can't shoot it, I can't do anything about it.”
Ma Ke smiled."Xiao Bei, Director Jiang and I have been working together for many years. It's hard to change his decision. This movie was also funded by me and Zhonghuang. We each have the right to speak. I'll make a statement. I'm willing to give Xiao Bei a bonus."”
After all... 600,000 yuan was too low.
Everyone's eyes were locked on Qiao Xinyue, who was still staring at Jiang Bei.
She suddenly realized that everyone was looking at her. A blush appeared on her face, and she pulled her hair back to hide her embarrassment.
"Ah... No problem, Zhonghuang had predicted that the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" would end up at 2 billion. This has already greatly exceeded our expectations. It's reasonable for us to split the box office earnings with the main cast, so we have no objections.”
"Xiaobei, we've decided to give you a 2% share of the box office earnings!”
