Entertainment, I just like making movies

Chapter 29 First Day Box Office

New Year's Eve!

In a four-star hotel in the Imperial Capital, Fang Ziheng slept until he woke up naturally.

Yesterday, he went to five movie theaters in one go with the creative team of "The Unknown Man". He was really exhausted.

He was doing relatively well, but Huang Bo and Deng Chao were even worse. When they returned to the hotel, they were too tired to move their legs.

Rubbing his hazy eyes, Fang Ziheng went to the bathroom, peeed, brushed his teeth, washed his face, put on clothes and went downstairs to have breakfast freshly dressed.

"Director Fang, here."

In the corner of the restaurant, Sun Li, Song Yi, and Wang Ou waved to him. The three of them were neatly dressed and full of energy.

Fang Ziheng secretly admired that women recover faster than men.

He walked over and sat next to Song Yi, pinched a small steamed bun from her plate and put it in his mouth. While eating, he asked, "Where are the others? They haven't gotten up yet?"

The little girl's smiling face changed instantly. She covered the plate in front of her chest with one hand and pointed to the restaurant window with the other.

If you want to eat, go get it yourself!

"Just called them, they're almost here."

Sun Li replied, looking at Fang Ziheng who didn't look strange at all, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Director Fang, congratulations, the box office on the first day exceeded 12 million."

"so tall?"

Fang Ziheng was also a little surprised. He came back last night to wash up and went to bed without waiting for the message from Chen Yu.

As soon as the zero-point box office came out, he felt that the box office on the first day would definitely exceed 10 million, so he was very relieved.

He took out his mobile phone and clicked on the text message sent by Chen Yu.

12.65 million!

It far exceeded China Film and his expectations. It was a dark horse with a low cost.

It is also the fourth Lunar New Year movie to have a box office of over 10 million on its first day. The first three films are "If You Are the One" by Feng Pants, "Red Cliff" by Wu Baige, and "Mei Lanfang" by Chen Daren.

"If You Are the One" sold 15 million on its first day, 23.5 million on Christmas Eve, and over 70 million on its first weekend.

The box office of "Red Cliff" was 600,000 at midnight on the first day. After its nationwide release, the box office on the first day was nearly 16 million. In the first weekend, the box office was 101.47 million.

Chen Daren's "Mei Lanfang" is also good, with a box office of 11 million on the first day and more than 40 million on the first weekend.

However, "Red Cliff" and "Mei Lanfang" have insufficient stamina, and compared with the investment cost, they will definitely lose money.

"Director, today is New Year's Eve, where is the red envelope we promised?"

Seeing that Fang Ziheng didn't speak, Song Yi bumped him with her elbow and asked directly,

"You help me get breakfast, and I will give you a red envelope."

"This is what you said, don't lie!"

The little girl was overjoyed when she heard this, stood up quickly, and ran to the restaurant window without giving him a chance to regret it.

After a while, the little girl came up with a cup of soy milk and a bowl of hot steamed buns.

Fang Ziheng kept his word and took out a red envelope from his body like a magic trick.

"Here, give it to you."

"whee.."

The little girl stretched out her white and tender hands, took the red envelope and squeezed it. When she felt the thickness inside, she smiled like a flower.

"Director, where are we?" Wang Ou was not to be outdone, his eyes were filled with stars.

Sun Li stretched out her palm: "Director, I want it too."

Chinese people have been looking forward to the Chinese New Year red envelopes since they were young. Every time the Chinese New Year comes, they are always thinking about how many red envelopes they can receive.

Growing up is no exception, a special girl!

"They are all there, they are all there!"

Fang Ziheng laughed, touched his right hand in his pocket, and two thick red envelopes came out.

He specifically called Andy yesterday to ask Andy to prepare red envelopes. For this reason, she and Sister Lin secretly handed over two big envelopes.

After a while, Huang Bo, Bao Qiang, Deng Chao, Yu Hewei and others went downstairs.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, these idiots stood in a row and congratulated Fang Ziheng loudly: "Director, I wish you a great box office success, reach the peak of your career, have many children, many blessings, many wives and a long life, and may you be eighteen years old, every night." "

"stop stop stop"

Fang Ziheng was dumbfounded and quickly took out the red envelope and blocked the mouths of these idiots.

You are so drunk that you talk nonsense no matter what the occasion. Didn't you see that the faces of the three beauties were all red!

How could Huang Bo and the others care about this? They happily accepted the red envelope.

Deng Chao came to Sun Li and naturally took the rest of her breakfast and stuffed it into his mouth without even acting.

The big guy also pretended not to see it, making him excited!

"You all know the box office, right?"

The smiles on their faces did not fade away, and they nodded "hmm" while eating.

12.65 million on the first day. Even if the trend is not strong in the later period, there is absolutely no problem with the total box office exceeding 100 million.

Didn't you see, "Mei Lanfang" is so successful in the later stages, and the total box office is expected to exceed 100 million.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Fang Ziheng led them to start a new day of publicity.

Hading District.

"The Unknown" came to Xingmei Cinema, and everyone received a warm welcome as soon as they entered the screening hall.

Before the audience in the screening room bought their tickets, they were notified by the theater that the crew of "The Unknown" would come to promote it.

In addition to the waiting audience, a group of reporters also came to the screening room. As soon as they saw Fang Ziheng and others coming in, they took pictures.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the cinema to support "The Unknown"."

The creative team walked into the screening room and waved to the audience, with everyone's faces beaming with joy.

Sun Li, Song Yi, and Wang Ou also specially wore long red windbreakers prepared by Sister Lin.

Everyone came to the front desk, and reporters couldn't wait to ask questions.

"Director Fang, the box office of "The Unknown" exceeded 12 million on the first day, breaking the opening record of a small-budget film. Many people call you the new star of Chinese films, and you will take over the leadership of young directors of Chinese films from Ning Hao. What do you think about character titles?”

grass!

Who is this!

The Chinese New Year doesn’t stop, it has to be rhythmic!

Glancing at the brand on the reporter's microphone, Fang Ziheng secretly remembered the media company called 'Didu Entertainment'.

"The word "rising star" is shouted by the media every year. I am just a new director who has just entered the industry. I am not capable enough to take on the title of young leader of Chinese films."

"Journalist friend, can I ask who shouted these words? Is it your Imperial Capital Entertainment?"

Fang Ziheng picked up the microphone and set the tone in a few words, expressing his lack of ability and that he was just a new director. At the same time, he changed the subject and directly criticized the reporter.

In the audience, the reporters looked at the reporter from Imperial City Entertainment with twinkling eyes, secretly cursing this guy for being a fool.

Even if you want to ask about this topic, you have to wait first. It’s not too late to praise the movie first and then ask.

There are also reporters who are writing their own manuscripts, saying that today's trip is worthwhile.

"The rising star director is outspoken and confronts media reporters in person"

As soon as this title came out, it was hard not to think about it!

The audience sat on their chairs and stared at the stage with interest, enjoying the show.

The reporter from Imperial Entertainment smiled awkwardly and quickly waved his hand to explain: "Director Fang misunderstood, and we also heard what others said."

This reporter knew very well and immediately distanced himself from the relationship.

Setting the rhythm can only be done, said, and never admitted.

Otherwise, he would be caught in a pigtail and a lawyer's letter would be sent to him. In the end, the only person who would be unlucky would be him, the client who asked the question.

Next, Tencent Entertainment grabbed the second question.

"Director Fang, you have achieved such great success with your first debut film, surpassing most domestic directors. Have you ever thought about this before?"

"Honestly, I haven't really thought about it. When shooting the movie, I just wanted to make the movie well and try my best to make it perfect.

Before the movie was released, China Film and our Hengyu team had speculations about the box office, and everyone agreed that the final box office would be between 60 million and 80 million.

My personal opinion is that if the box office can recoup the original investment, make a little profit, and live up to the investors! "

Fang Ziheng's tone was calm, and his words were full of humility.

In today's age, if you don't get to that point, don't show off, and if you get to that point, try to hide your tail.

Make a fortune in silence, but don’t do it to those who shoot guns!

The reporters asked questions one by one, and Fang Ziheng and the starring actors answered all the questions without rejecting them.
