You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 460 Breaking the single-day record, my ex-husband sent a congratulatory message

Last year, the total box office in the Mainland was 16.8 billion, with an average of less than 50 million per day. Therefore, if the market exceeded 200 million in a single day, it is definitely worthy of special mention. It is a political achievement of this gentleman.

The previous highest single-day box office was only 180 million, which was the result on the first day of the release of "The Twilight Saga" in 2010. At that time, "Twilight 5" accounted for 90% of the box office on that day with a first-day box office of 162 million. .

Later, even though the number of theaters increased and the number of moviegoers expanded, even if "The Golden Prince" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" were released on the same day, plus other Lunar New Year movies, they still failed to break the market record of 180 million.

Now it is finally broken, and it has improved significantly. All people in the industry understand the truth, the Spring Festival stall is done!

Of course, it depends on whether it is a large-scale summer release, or a medium-sized May Day or National Day release, and it also depends on the subsequent box office explosiveness.

After all, it is a unique event for multiple blockbusters to be released in one day, and in order to compete for the market on the first day of the Spring Festival, major blockbusters have launched a ticket reimbursement policy below the market price, and the benefits of a ticket of more than ten yuan are provided to the family. Non-stop.

Only when the ticket supplement money is burned out can we know the true value of the Spring Festival stalls.

On the way home after watching the movie, Wang Quan had a phone call with Yang Mi. She would start a road show with "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" tomorrow.

Although she only had a cameo role in this movie, she sang the theme song, and she was also the boss, so she naturally wanted to use her influence to increase exposure for the movie.

At the same time, she is also thinking about wooing the heroine Li Yi through this movie.

Li Min is a new generation of leading actress that her old boss Rong Xinda is currently cultivating. The little Xue Baochai played in "Dream of Red Mansions" is very smart. Yang Mi is also optimistic about the development of this girl, so she uses He Yi Shengxiao to play the heroine of the movie Use it as bait to lure her in.

But if the movie pulls his hips, Li Di will probably have to re-evaluate the power of Mi Shi.

Damimi, who is engaged in career, is still very charming. After talking about the movie, she asked about the TV series that Wang Quan had promised before.

Wang Quan said, “After the Spring Festival holiday, people from Netflix will come to Beijing to discuss cooperation with Power World.”

"Do foreigners also celebrate the Spring Festival?" Yang Mi was puzzled.

"No, but it's a legal holiday in China. People must think that no one is working in this world."

Yang Mi smiled, they also thought too much.

Because of the grand occasion of this year’s Spring Festival stalls, most of the staff of all the film and television companies participating in the competition for this year’s Spring Festival stalls, including Wangdao, Huayi, Bona, Power World, LeTV, and even the ticketing website Maoyan, have to stay and work. Some even work overtime and some don’t get holiday compensation.

Of course, there are Wangdao and Power World. Wangdao's profitability has always been very high and it has never exploited its employees.

Last year, the company received a box office of 3.3 billion in the Mainland. After excluding costs, it earned 700 million!

In addition, the overseas box office and copyright revenue of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is higher than the domestic revenue, and several other films have also successfully gone overseas, with a rough calculation of a total profit of nearly 2 billion!

This is the result of independent accounting of each company under Wang Quan's name. If companies such as Golden Harvest and Butian Pictures are included, the income will be even higher.

After returning home, Wang Quan and Liu Yifei started their parent-child interaction time with Xiao Yu'er. During this time in the capital, Xiao Yu'er's Chinese became more and more fluent, but her speech had a hint of Northeast flavor.

But there was no money from the Northeast at home, so Wang Quan took a look at Liu Yifei.

"It's none of my business, I've already been in trouble~"

Wang Quan looked at Miss Xiaoli again.

"Don't look at me either. I left Heilongjiang when I was ten years old. How can I still have an accent~"

It was only later that the problem was discovered. It turned out that her grandmother, Mei Yanqiu, took her to watch a selection of Spring Festival Gala sketches, which were basically Lao Zhao's works. Didn't the show go astray?

Wang Quan quickly took her to watch domestic cartoons, thinking about correcting her accent, but ended up clicking on the popular "Quiba", which she didn't like at all and couldn't understand.

On the contrary, she watched the new animated drama "Bear Bears" that was just aired a few days ago, but it was also in Northeastern dialect!

Wang Quan was filled with emotion when he saw Xiong Da Xiong Er and Bald Qiang fighting wits and courage against poverty. In the film and television library, he saw that in a few years there would be no big animated movie of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", and instead there would be one every year. "Bear Bears" series of movies, and the box office is getting higher and higher. The one that will be released during the Spring Festival in 2025 will exceed 2 billion!

Fantawild has really unearthed a huge treasure. Speaking of which, Fantawild is also engaged in amusement parks. With these three super-popular animated characters, Fantawild’s amusement parks have great potential, so it’s the animation IP that is the key to amusement parks targeting children. It is more valuable for users with families with children.

In two years' time "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" should be filmed, and the director Jiaozi who went to Illumination Entertainment to "study abroad" should also be able to start filming the devil boy Nezha.

At dawn the next day, but actually before dawn, Maoyan updated the revised box office data for yesterday's New Year's Day.

The single-day market price is 211 million!

Among them, the one with the lowest box office is "Why Sheng Xiao Mo", with a box office of 7.5 million. The two protagonists Luo Jin and Li Jin have little box office appeal, but the youth theme is still a hot topic, and it has received so much box office with such a low schedule. In fact, the attendance The rate is quite impressive.

Then there is "Happiness with Eight Stars". Although there are many stars, including Zhen Zidan, Gu Tianle, Xiong Dailin, Tang Yan, Huang Baiming, Kelly Chen, Wu Junru, etc., its reputation is too poor, and it is difficult for Hong Kong-style comedy to stir the hearts of mainland audiences. So I only got 9.5 million.

It's even worse than "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". This animation received 10.2 million at the box office even with the lowest film schedule, and its attendance rate is second only to "Rich Second Generation".

The movie "Reverse" received a box office of 19 million, which is less than half of "Mission: Impossible 4" (40 million), and the film schedule is only two points less than "Mission: Impossible 4".

The faces of the two little kings of China Entertainment were slapped so hard by the old Hollywood kings and superstars that even Tom couldn't do it, let alone the royal power.

However, Wang Quan feels that the main thing is the plot of the movie. Lin Chaoxian is indeed a master of shooting gun battle movies, but only if the script is excellent can he make a masterpiece. The script of "Drug War" is solid enough, but "Counter War" is almost boring.

As for the biggest winner on the first day of the Spring Festival, "Rich Second Generation" had a box office of 126 million on the first day, capturing 60% of the market share with 38% of the film schedule. When it comes to prime screenings, major cities are basically sold out.

Just because there are too few films scheduled, this figure is not only lower than the 162 million mainland single-day box office record set by "The Twilight Saga 5", but also lower than the 136 million Chinese-language single-day box office record of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but considering this It is a low-budget comedy film, and the cost was recouped in one day. I can only say one thing: It was so terrifying.

After a night's rest at the Wangfu Hotel, Tom Cruise learned about yesterday's Spring Festival war through a translator.

"As expected of David, he fought so hard this time that he even jumped the Eiffel Tower, but he is still no match for him." Tom looked at the box office data of "Rich Kid" and expressed his sadness.

According to this first-day box office result, the Chinese box office of "Rich Second Generation" has stably exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars.

And "Mission: Impossible 4" only made just over $200 million in North America. David's appeal in China can be said to be overwhelming.

Although Tom had never acted in a King Quan movie, he almost starred in "Inception". The two still had some friendship. After thinking about it, he dialed Wang Quan's phone number.

For the sake of the box office of "Mission: Impossible 4", sometimes you need to be more proactive. After all, he is not only the starring, but also the producer and investor. He has a share of every dollar of the box office of this movie in the world. right.

~

After Wang Quan woke up, he received a WeChat call from Zhou Peng. Affected by yesterday's super high attendance, the schedule of "Rich Second Generation" was raised to 41%!

"Although the film schedule has only been increased by 3%, there are more films scheduled today than yesterday, and the box office is expected to hit a new high!"

"Oh," Wang Quan was not surprised, "Many movie theaters are not open on the first day of the new year."

"Yeah, after all, I didn't have the habit of watching movies on New Year's Day before. I thought there wouldn't be any box office, so I closed down all the businesses. The employees had a three-day holiday. Only then did I realize that I missed out on the wealth and wealth, and then again I hurriedly called the staff back to open the door to welcome customers.”

Not only movie theaters, but also many viewers are not used to watching movies in the first year of junior high school. Firstly, they are not used to it, and secondly, they don’t have time. After all, visiting relatives and friends is more important in the first year of junior high school, but when you have some free time in the second year of junior high school, you can see that the Spring Festival movies are being discussed everywhere on the Internet. movie, so Zhou Peng predicts that the box office will be higher in the second year of junior high school.

The two were chatting about Spring Festival movies when a phone call came in.

"Wait a minute, someone is looking for me~" Wang Quan looked at the caller ID.

"Who?"

"Brother Tom~" Or you can call him your ex-husband.

~

Today Wang Quan met with Deng Chao and Zhang Zilin and prepared to start a nationwide publicity plan.

Deng Chao couldn't wait for a long time. When had he ever seen so many box office? His personal best result was more than 200 million for "Painting on the Wall". This time, he really has to thank Director Quan for his guidance.

In the past, it might have been controversial to say that he was a first-line niche, but after today, there is no objection!

Brother Huayi, he is no longer indifferent now. He is ready to go out on his own and even wants to be a director and make comedies in the future. He loves comedies!

But next, he has to film the crime drama "Scorching Sun" first, which was what he agreed upon when he took on the role of "Rich Second Generation".

The heroine Zhang Zilin has also received more attention because of her performance in this movie. Although she does not have many roles, she is beautiful enough, tall enough, strong enough, and her riding posture is more handsome than most male actors.

Because of her height, she may still face difficulties in accepting roles, but with her resume in this movie, she is still top-notch even in the fashion industry.

Other actors have also been positively affected to varying degrees. Every actor has benefited from this comedy that has received a lot of praise and box office, even if it is a supporting role with more scenes.

In addition to the actors and the film crew, those who benefited the most were also the small northwest village that provided the filming location. The village elder Zhou also opened a Weibo account and certification, and quickly contributed to his village by interacting with the official account of "Rich Second Generation" and Wang Quan. The tourism project has launched a sign.

The number of messages expressing plans to visit there during the Spring Festival holiday easily exceeded 10,000. Even if one out of ten people kept their word, it would be enough for their village to enjoy a prosperous New Year.

Before the Chinese New Year, Deng Chao and Zhang Zilin have already accepted many talk shows and variety shows, which will be broadcast one after another starting from the first day of the new year.

In the afternoon, Wang Quan and the two leading actors appeared at Dawangdao Cinema, and the nationwide road show began from here.

Moreover, a video recorded by Tom Cruise to congratulate King Power was specially played at the road show.

Even Deng Chao Zhang Zilin didn't know this and could only lament that Director Quan was too proud.

In fact, it was just an exchange of interests. Wang Quan also recorded one for Atang, and also cheered him on Weibo.

Just two videos are nothing, but in the future, self-media will follow suit and hype these two film industry stars for their mutual sympathy, thus driving the box office of the two movies.

To be honest, Wang Quan also sincerely hopes that "Mission: Impossible 4" can create box office success in the mainland. In this way, Tom may consider inviting Chinese heroines to star in the "Mission: Impossible" series in the future.

Just like the "Transformers" series, as long as the mainland box office is so high that Hollywood filmmakers can't control it, it's normal to plug in a few Chinese actors, and then Wang Quan will use its own influence to operate. It's hard to say what the heroine will be. Number two is not difficult.

After Tom Cruise's episode, the noisy scene calmed down, and Wang Quan began to call people to take questions.

A girl wearing glasses stood up excitedly after being clicked, "Director Quan, I didn't expect your comedy to be so good. How did you come up with the idea of ​​writing this story?"

Wang Quan: "I got inspiration from "The Truman Show" and "Party A and Party B," so first of all I would like to thank Jim Carrey and Director Feng, two seniors in the comedy industry. When I wrote the script, I was about to become a father, and I was a little worried that my child would I was spoiled by myself and turned into a prodigal son, so I wrote such a story with a warning meaning, but fortunately, my little Yu'er is very well-behaved and sensible, so I shouldn't be as worried as the handsome man in the movie."

There was a lot of laughter in the audience, and the girl with glasses and many audience members were very moved and lamented Wang Quan's broad-mindedness.

It takes a lot of courage for such a big director to admit that he drew inspiration from other movies. I am afraid that many small directors will insist that their movies are completely original just to save face, and even wish to say that they have never seen it. Other movies.

Later, another boy stood up and asked. He rubbed his head in embarrassment, "I heard online that Director Quan and Miss Zi Lin were alumni of high school. Did you know each other at that time?"

Actually, he wanted to ask. It was said on the Internet that you were in a relationship when you were in high school. I don't know if it was true or not, but he still didn't feel embarrassed to ask when he saw it in person.

Wang Quan generously hugged Zhang Zilin directly. Fortunately, she was wearing flat shoes, otherwise she would have had to prop her feet up, "More than just knowing each other, we were already very good friends at that time, and we often did homework together. "

Zhang Zilin: Yes, in a small hotel~

A certain policeman on duty, Lao Yang, sneezed.

"Director, what is your expected box office for the movie "Rich Second Generation"?"

Wang Quan laughed and said, "I don't have high requirements. I would be satisfied with one billion."

Zhang, Chen and Feng: The low demands of others are beyond our reach!

However, King Quan is indeed not boasting. The box office on the first day was 126 million, and the reputation is very stable. 1 billion is indeed very promising.

"Director, is "Rich Second Generation" only released in China? Why haven't you heard about it being released overseas?" asked a middle-aged audience member.

Other viewers also nodded. When "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was released, it was a shock. Almost every country broke the box office record of Chinese-language films, and movie fans were very proud.

Yusen Wu: Neon didn’t, Neon didn’t break the record!

Wang Quan explained, "In a few days, "Rich Second Generation" will be released first in Southeast Asia, and then in Japan, South Korea, North America and other countries. However, considering that it is difficult for people with different cultural backgrounds to share the same laughs, so this time overseas Distribution doesn’t take a lot of effort.”

This time we didn’t even make an English dub version, all overseas releases were in Chinese with subtitles.

Some viewers who expect director Wang Quan to show off his prowess may be disappointed, but market rules must still be followed.

Special effects blockbusters like "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp" can be launched with Wang Quan's reputation and 3D, but local comedies have to be pushed hard, which is a bit consuming Wang Quan's reputation. His reputation needs to be used wisely.

After the fan meeting, Wang Quan and Zhang Zilin took the time to play a friendly match in the car. Fortunately, the car was wide enough, otherwise it would be difficult for these two pairs of long legs to be used.

Afterwards, Wang Quan got into his car. His car had to pick up Qianqian, which was not very convenient, so he just used Zhang Zilin's car.

After picking up Qian Qian, the two went to their uncle's house. Mei Yanqiu had already taken Xiao Yu'er there first. Tuan Chong was playing with Mei Xi and other cousins, while her second uncle was still busy in the kitchen.

This was already the second time Sissi came to her uncle's house, and it was also the third year that she became Wang Quan's girlfriend. She chatted familiarly with her cousins ​​and cousins ​​until the banquet officially started.

As a retired veteran cadre, uncle Mei Quechun first spoke from a high position, summarizing and expecting the achievements of his descendants over the past year.

The first is Wang Quan, the great nephew. "We have been exported by foreign culture over the years. "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a successful counterattack. I heard that it sold more than 300 million overseas, and it was still a US dollar. I remember when I first started working. , it’s so difficult to get some US dollars. In times of difficulty, even our country’s antiques can be sold in friendship stores. It would be great if we had the power to appoint such a powerful director earlier.”

After reminiscing about the pain and sweetness, the uncle began to talk about his eldest son Mayo's Weibo account...

Speaking of Weibo, Wang Quan thought of Zhang Yiming, a classmate of his cousin Zhou Peng. This kid has already decided on a business project, tentatively named "Today's Toutiao". The company will be officially opened after the year, and Wang Quan will use his personal name to start a business. Identity rather than 2-month-2 fund to enter early stage investment.

Although Wang Quan's real net worth now exceeds 100 billion, most of this net worth is in the US stock market, and it is difficult to bring it back to China.

Compared with his assets abroad, he is too poor at home. He hopes that his net worth at home and abroad can be slightly balanced, so that both countries will be more cautious towards him, and it will also allow him to have more power to participate in some affairs. Big right to speak.

He doesn't want to cause trouble, but he doesn't want to be messed with either.

If people want to accumulate wealth in China, ByteDance, which has not yet started, is the most suitable. Although it will take some time for this company to take off, he can afford to wait because he is still young.

When Wang Quan was having dinner at his uncle's house, the box office of "Rich Second Generation" in the second grade of junior high school had already exceeded that of the first grade of junior high school. As expected by Zhou Peng, if those who had free time in the second grade of junior high school did not go out to travel, then watching movies would be It will be a very cost-effective way of leisure and entertainment.

Even my uncle said that tomorrow he and his aunt would go to the cinema to spend time together, and the first choice would be "Rich Second Generation".

Mei Xi smiled and said, "Grandpa, "Rich Second Generation" is so popular that I often can't buy tickets. Even if I can buy a seat, it's not good. I'd better use Maoyan to buy tickets for you."

The uncle smiled and agreed. The eldest granddaughter of Peking University was the pride of the couple. She was the first in the family to move to Beijing.

When Mei Xi bought the tickets, she said to Wang Quan, "Uncle, there are still ticket refills for "Reverse War" tomorrow!"

By the third year of junior high school, the ticket replenishment was basically gone. Unexpectedly, "Reverse War" was still persisting.

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Huayi's "Reverse War" and Tencent's game "Reverse War" have been bundled and linked. Not only do they share the theme song, they also share the promotional funds. Huayi is taking advantage of it this time. It seems that this There is still a possibility of a comeback at the box office of the movie.”

The movie box office basically stops after 10 p.m. because the tickets for the last show have been sold and the box office pattern has been determined.

The movie box office is particularly busy near midnight because today's box office is being reviewed.

"Congratulations, the market has reached a new high of 233 million!"

Love to squeeze in the morning rush hour: I never expected that the box office would be higher on the second day of the new year. It’s so fierce. This year’s total box office shouldn’t exceed 20 billion!

Xiaoshi pretty boy: It’s normal. I spent the first year visiting relatives, and only in the second year of junior high did I have time to go out to watch a movie with my foster college student. She insisted on watching "Why is the Shengxiao Silent", so I slapped her in the face, and then she obediently watched " "Rich Second Generation".

Multiple checks and balances: Our cinema didn't open at all on the first day of the new year, but it opened on the second day of the new year. Oh my god, it was overcrowded. It turns out there are so many people with money and leisure.

The Violent King: It’s the Chinese New Year, everyone is willing to spend money to have fun, and they will be much more generous than usual. What’s more, the “Counter War” I watched is actually 19.9 for two copies. What are you waiting for? It’s definitely going!

The Decameron: The ticket price is 19.9, and the popcorn cost me 50 yuan. Sorry!

In addition to the latest record of the market, the single-day box office record set by "Rich Second Generation" has also received a lot of discussion.

wt020: The box office of "Rich Second Generation" today was 140 million, which is higher than the first day. It still occupies 60% of the market share. It's awesome!

I'm a kid: And this data broke the highest single-day box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" of 136 million! It is the best Chinese film!

Waking up from the dream in the early morning: It is even lower than "Twilight 5". Sure enough, only Director Quan can defeat Director Quan, and only Director Quan can suppress Director Quan!

Flying Black Kill: To be honest, I thought the market would be higher than yesterday, but "Rich Second Generation" would also be higher than the first day. I didn't expect it. I think this movie needs special effects but no special effects. It is just an ordinary comedy. It's too exaggerated.

Tie Xue: There are no special effects. People just have fun during the Chinese New Year. I think this movie is funnier than the Spring Festival Gala sketches. I have already watched it once with my wife and mistress, and I plan to watch it again with my mistress.

The famous Laowang @Tie Xue @Xiao Shi handsome boy: Damn, let’s see who of you can brag better than the other!

Hisense: I previously predicted that the box office of "Rich Second Generation" would be 1 billion. Now can I imagine that it will surpass "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?

Ni Baifo: How about it's better than "Inception"!

newpi123: You really dare to think that this is impossible, the ticket price is quite different.

Xun Wukong: I feel like "Rich Second Generation" is a bit out of the ordinary. Even my grandparents in my hometown know about this movie. I'm thinking about taking them to the city to watch a movie~

Skydiving Fish: What are you still thinking about? I have already taken action. The whole family’s trip only cost over 100 yuan. This is no more cost-effective than traveling.

The market rose by more than 20 million yuan, and the box office of "Rich Second Generation" increased by more than 10 million yuan, so other film industries benefited from this and experienced more or less increases.

Among them, "Reverse War" has the largest increase, with an increase of 4 million despite the decrease in film schedules, and the third-tier films have also begun to rise. It seems to have really recovered even though word-of-mouth is not dominant.

Tomorrow Wang Quan will go to Jinmen and International Village to promote the movie. He and Liu Yifei basically didn't sleep that night. In order to create opportunities for the two of them to get along, Mei Yanqiu took Xiao Yu'er to sleep all night today.

Although Wang Quan spent a lot of effort on Sister Yinyin during the day, he still worked hard at night, but he stayed up all night mainly because he was chatting.

Wang Quan talked to Liu Yifei about the new movie he had prepared for her, and asked her to talk to Shen Tong when the time came. The director would just use Yan Fei and Peng Damo.

After hearing this, Liu Yifei was overjoyed, "It's fun, this story is fun, how did you get such a brain!"

"Don't brag, this is not my original script, it was adapted from Hollywood."

"ah?"

"This film is very famous. It has been adapted many times around the world. You still need to work hard to read the film~"

The next day, Wang Quan took Xiao Yuer on a nationwide publicity tour.

At first, Mei Yanqiu did not agree with Wang Quan taking the baby who was less than two years old to promote, but Wang Quan agreed after repeatedly promising that he would not burden his daughter.

"The hard work will be done by the actors. Xiao Yu'er and I will be mainly responsible for traveling around the country and showing her the great rivers and mountains of the motherland."

Wang Quan and Xiao Yu'er have left, and Liu Yifei feels empty in her heart. Although Xiao Yu'er is not her biological child, she has always regarded herself as a mother. She is worried when her son travels thousands of miles away!

She and Sister Xiaoli were going to Hainan to visit her grandmother and aunt on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and they still had two days to make their own arrangements.

After looking at the contacts on the phone, Mimi was also running promotions, and Sister Ruyi had returned to her hometown in Jiangcheng.

Suddenly she thought of the script Wang Quan told her last night, so she called Shen Tong, "Brother Teng, are you in the capital?"

"Here, what's wrong, sister?"

"Great, let's go out to eat, and I'll call Sister Li."

"Ahem~" Shen Tong suddenly coughed and spoke, "Yifei, your sister Li probably hasn't been very convenient recently, how about I take your sister Qi with me."

Liu Yifei suddenly realized that she had often heard Sha Lun and Que Xinyuan say that Shen's girlfriend Wang Qi was jealous. She would not be jealous of Brother Teng and Sister Li like the skit in the Spring Festival Gala.

Oops, this Sister Qi is too stingy to learn from her. Even if the two of them fake it, so what, the three of them can still be happy.

Liu Yifei asked cautiously, "Are you sure it's okay for you to eat with me?"

Shen Tong lowered her voice in embarrassment, "Your sister Qi is just jealous, but she is not stupid. Can I compare with Director Quan~"

"Ah, but Brother Teng, you are also very handsome. You are also the star of the Military Arts School."

"Sister, please don't hurt me, or else you should call Director Quan together~" Shen Tong was frightened and became alert.

Liu Yifei laughed, "It's too late, he has already left, but he was the one who asked me to find you."

"Oh?!" Shen Tong suddenly became serious. Director Quan wouldn't ask him to film the sequel to "Rich Second Generation", "Rich Generation"!

To be honest, I should be a little better than Deng Chao in comedy. Director Quan, you are really good at reading people!
