The Director of Music Department

Chapter 36: .First day box office

Later, Wang Yifan learned from his mother that his father bought hundreds of movie tickets and gave them to his colleagues at school to invite them to watch his movies.

People are still in WeChat Moments everywhere to help people forward.

Pity the parents of the world, although Wang Gan always points to Wang Yifan, he seems to be dissatisfied with what he does, but secretly, he did so many things secretly, although he may not help much by doing so. But like he said, who made him Wang Yifan his father? Who can he count on if he doesn't help?

Kyushu Film and Television Distribution Company.

Chen Hanming is also waiting for today's box office statistics.

Speaking of this, it is worth mentioning that nowadays most of the theaters have been included in the network, so box office statistics have become simple.

In the past, it took at least the next day to get statistics, but now, basically, as long as time passes, you can see a preliminary statistics.

There may be a certain difference from the actual box office, but the difference is often not much.

The Kyushu Film and Television Distribution Company is a distribution company under the Kyushu Cinemas Group, which is naturally incomparable with the Chinese film and television giants.

In September, Kyushu Film and Television Distribution Company released only one film by itself, and that was "Lilac".

So Chen Hanmin is naturally paying special attention. After all, he is still optimistic about "Lilac".

At 1 am on September 10, Chen Hanming finally received the box office statistics mail.

At the box office on September 9, the sci-fi blockbuster "Flying Dragon Battleship" directed by Chen Hang still ranked first. Although it has come to the third week, it still has an unabated momentum. It received 33.2 million yesterday. The total box office totaled 830 million.

Ranked second is the martial arts movie "Swordsman Warriors", which broke 100 million in its first week of release. It reported a box office of 18.02 million yesterday, with a total box office of 132 million, ranking second.

Chen Hanming glanced around and quickly found the information about "Lilac Flower".

"Lilac", the first day of its release, has a box office of 4.98 million!

Ranked sixth in the daily box office.

This result is poor? No, on the contrary, the results are a bit too good, and Chen Hanming is a little unbelievable.

Compared with "Flying Dragon Battleship" and "Swordsman Warriors", the 4.98 million in "Lilac Flower" is simply not enough.

But what is the origin of "Flying Dragon Battleship"? Chen Hang, that is one of the outstanding directors in the Chinese Mesozoic era.

And what is the production cost of "Flying Dragon Battleship"? 180 million yuan, plus the announcement, at least the cost will add another 100 million yuan.

However, the cost of "Lilac" is only more than one million yuan, plus the promotional expenses, it is only a few million yuan.

More importantly, there are only 500 theaters in "Lilac Flower", and an average of 2 shows per theater was arranged yesterday.

As a result, they got 4.98 million, which is incredible.

Five hundred theaters, because "Lilac Flower" is just a feature film, so they are all 2D theaters. If a theater has 200 seats, the average ticket price is 40 Chinese yuan, and a single theater can cost 8,000 yuan at most. .

In other words, the average attendance rate of "Lilac" exceeds 60%.

what? The 60% attendance rate is not high? No, on the contrary, this attendance rate can be said to be very high.

Because the first screening is mostly not prime time, and the geographical location is also biased, the average attendance rate of 60% is definitely a big hit.

When the box office data was released the next day, Wang Yifan had already learned the first day's data from Chen Hanming in advance.

Looking at the box office data, Chen Hanming couldn’t help himself: “Our premiere day results can be said to be very good. I have already passed the theater line. If "Lilac" continues to perform well, then The expansion of the film arrangement can be expected."

"Is this a good result?" Wang Yifan was a little puzzled. Well, the main reason is that he really doesn't understand this. After all, "Lilac" is ranked sixth in the rankings, and I can't say how good it is.

"Let me explain to you this way, the number one "Flying Dragon Battleship" yesterday, don't look like it got a box office of more than 30 million, but in fact, it is because of the high ranking of "Flying Dragon Battleship" and the attendance rate "Flying Dragon Battleship" average attendance rate, but more than 30%."

"In terms of attendance, "Lilac" can be ranked first. Of course, the current schedule of "Lilac" is not high, so the potential for it is not yet known. We have to wait for the expansion of the screening before seeing the attendance rate can be maintained. At what level?" Chen Hanming explained patiently.

While Wang Yifan and Chen Hanming were discussing the next increase in publicity and other matters, some people were paying attention.

In fact, if you don't pay attention to "Lilac" specifically, it is difficult to find the dark horse of "Lilac".

Why do you say that? Because Lilac only ranked sixth among many movies yesterday, and the box office was only 4.98 million.

In this market where the box office ceiling of a single movie has been raised to several billions, the box office of several million that day is really inconspicuous.

Many people scan the list, and it is estimated that they will ignore "Lilac".

But people who really pay attention to the box office and "Lilac" will not ignore this.

For example, Wu Tianxiong, who had a close relationship with Wang Yifan, is concerned because "Withered Tree Every Spring" is about to be released, and he can be regarded as an early probe of the enemy.

Although Wu Tianxiong has won the Golden Dragon Award for Best New Director, he also won the "Dead Tree Every Spring" at the Beichuan Film Festival. Wu Tianxiong also has high hopes for "Dead Tree Every Spring", but he has not yet reached the National Day and several blockbuster films. competition. Instead, I chose the schedule in mid-September. There will not be too many competitors in this schedule, and there will be a lot of advantages in film scheduling.

Therefore, the schedule of "Withered Trees Every Spring" is September 17.

It was exactly one week later than Wang Yifan's "Lilac Flower".

Opened the Huaguo Movie Data Network, Wu Tianxiong began to watch it. The number one "Flying Dragon Battleship" is already in its third week, with a daily box office of more than 30 million, but Wu Tianxiong doesn't care too much. After all, "Flying Dragon Battleship" is waiting. When "Withered Tree Every Spring" was released, the box office potential was basically consumed.

Ranked second is "Swordsman Warriors", which has a significant drop in the box office, and the same box office potential is insufficient.

The latter ranked third, fourth and fifth, and the box office is basically not too eye-catching.

Wu Tianxiong doesn't care too much, because September is considered the off-season for movies, and the total daily box office output is less than 100 million, and the competition is not so fierce.

However, Wu Tianxiong frowned when he saw the box office of the sixth "Lilac Flower" of 4.98 million.

This number is not high, but Wu Tianxiong knows that this movie is an independent film made by a newcomer. Although he won the Audience Choice Award at the Beichuan Film Festival, Wu Tianxiong does not think that this movie can get any high-ranking films.

Wu Tianxiong clicked on the data link of "Lilac Flower" and saw the film arrangement of "Lilac Flower".

In the next moment, Wu Tianxiong's complexion became serious.
