On March 1st, the movie “Fugitive” was released. Nationwide, its filming rate was not high, and it was ranked at the back of the films in the same period. However, in this off-season, its topicality is not low. The popularity reported by the media ranks among the top three!
The film starred Yang Yi, Geng Sha, and Guo Ziyi as supporting roles. Although they were not very famous when they were filming, now, not to mention Yang Yi, Geng Sha has been talked about by people all over the country. Xu Sanduo, and Guo Ziyi is also a new artist who has just emerged in “Extreme Challenge”.
Of course, this movie is not well received either. Yang Yi and Geng Sha have never acted in a movie before, so they starred. Guo Ziyi has only made a micro-movie before, and they are not considered to have acted in a movie.
Can such a cast make any good movies?
Even though many media are paying attention to “The Fugitive”, more people are waiting to see Yang Yi’s jokes. Will this film written, invested and starred by Yang Yi make Yang Yi, who seems to have repeatedly created miracles, make a difference? Yi encountered a painful Waterloo?
And, hearing that he and Murphy’s daughter were also used in the movie, reporters were eager to prove that Yang Yi’s cronyism was a mistake!
As for rookie director Du Yuanlei, she was simply ignored.
The attendance rate of the premiere is the same as the schedule rate, which is not high!
Because people who like to watch movies, basically either go to a few well-known directors, or go to the familiar faces of some well-known movie actors in the promotional films. Movies with directors and no big-name actors are obviously not attracting the attention of passers-by and fans.
Those who can go to the movies on the first day of the premiere are not only the die-hard fans of Yang Yi and the others, but also some curious people.
…
“On the first day, the box office was only 4,010,000.”
The next day, in the coffee shop on the corner, Du Yuanlei, who had just answered the phone, read the box office data of the premiere to everyone. Regret and tiredness were written on her face after sleeping all night.
This box office data is not too low. There are still many millions who are not at the bottom, but it is not too high. In the box office of the day, it ranked sixth, not to mention the middle, first. The “Tian Yuan Qi Yu” has been released for 14 days, and the box office still has more than 73 million on that day, ranking first!
Comparing the first place and the sixth place, the difference is obviously obvious. It is no wonder that Du Yuanlei is full of unwillingness.
“I think the main reason is that there is a big gap in the film layout. The film layout rate of “Fate of the World” is as high as 26%, which is how many times ours? If we can also have 26% film layout , I think we can also have a box office of tens of millions!” Wang Chao pouted and said indignantly.
“It’s not just the gap between the films, our investment and cast, many of which are incomparable with others. I think it’s good to have a box office of more than 4 million!” Zhu Liyang laughed, “Look at the one in the back. “The Destiny of the Reflection of the Starry Sky”, a sci-fi love blockbuster that claims to have invested 200 million yuan, has a large number of celebrities, but the premiere is not on the street? Now the box office is only more than 1 million yuan a day. It is estimated that when it is released, even the cost I can’t take it back.”
“Hey, can you guys say something good?” Long Ni said angrily, “In fact, more than four million yuan is already quite good, okay? It’s only the first day of the premiere, our first movie, we can do it all. Getting more than 4 million box office is at least a pass or even a good result.”
“Ani, don’t blame them, I’m not satisfied either. Big Brother Yang’s script is really good, maybe I didn’t shoot it well enough to express the feelings in it more deeply.” Du Yuanlei blamed herself .
“Sister Lei, have we recovered our cost?” Lu Xiaoshu, who was holding a guitar and watching their discussion, asked curiously. He was a movie novice.
Miao Chuan pulled Lalu Xiaoshu next to him: “Don’t interrupt, it’s just the first day’s box office.”
“But four million is a lot!” Lu Xiaoshu asked confused.
“Four million, I want to deduct 5% of the film special fund and 3% of the tax, and 2% of the copyright protection fund fee. I have to talk to the theater chain and the distribution company. Wait for the stakeholder to share.” Wang Chao explained to him, “In the end, Brother Yang’s side should be able to share about one million.”
“Our film production cost is not high, it probably cost more than five million yuan. Originally, we couldn’t ask for that much, but Brother Yang has more precise requirements. But the cost of publicity and distribution before the film is released is quite a lot. Think about it, In addition to managing those media, micro-broadcasting, etc., Big Brother Yang and Geng Shashang chose to promote our movie, which is a lot of money. Of course, Jicho is also their own program, which will be cheaper. But there will be more in the future. There have been some publicity activities one after another, all of which add up to a cost of no less than five million yuan, and even if I look at Sister Xiaojuan’s arrangement, it is estimated that it may exceed ten million yuan.” Wang Chao calculated the account, and Lu Xiaoshu was stunned. .
“In other words, it will take more than half a month for the movie to recover its cost?” Lu Xiaoshu asked after taking a breath of air.
How can the calculation of the box office be a simple multiplication and division?
While they were talking, Yang Yi and Murphy also arrived. Murphy arrived with Xiao Jiao in his arms, and immediately swept away the depressing atmosphere in the coffee shop.
The cute little baby has become the center of everyone, especially a few girls. Even Du Yuanlei, who was depressed just now, is now maternally leaning over, teasing Xiao Jiao, and looking at his big eyes , couldn’t help but laugh.
“What are you talking about?” Yang Yi smiled, patted Lu Xiaoshu on the shoulder, and said.
Lu Xiaoshu and Wang Chao talked about the box office problem just now.
“Xiao Du, come here!” Yang Yi beckoned and called Du Yuanlei and others over before saying, “Xiaojuan also told me about the box office of the movie, four million, which is a good start.”
Everyone fell silent and listened to Yang Yi quietly.
“Actually, I don’t care about the box office, because this is our first movie after all, and it’s an important opportunity to hone our team. Even if we lose, I don’t care, so don’t give yourself to Xiao Du. Too much pressure.”
Yang Yi changed the subject and said, “But after knowing that the box office was 4 million on the first day, I suddenly felt that our movie might be successful, why? Because we are a group of newbies, and we are in the show. Four million at the box office on the first day, which is amazing!”
Du Yuanlei also wants to explain that the box office is not high, and she is worried about future problems.
Yang Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying, “The box office on the first day doesn’t mean much, what you should read is the comments of the audience on the Internet! I watched a lot before I came, what did the audience say? Xiaoshu, please read to everyone.”
Lu Xiaoshu inexplicably took Yang Yi’s phone and began to read the above comments.
“Looking at the name of the movie, I thought it was a crime movie, I was wrong, it’s a comedy in a crime guise! It’s hilarious throughout, and the presence of the little girl gives this movie a sense of The unforgettable warmth, to this day, I still remember the little girl’s long soft hair…”
“There are a lot of laughs in the movie. The most memorable one is Geng Sha’s clumsy appearance when he robbed the bank. Geng Sha can really play the fool to the fullest, especially when the bank clerk came out of the counter. The theater is full of laughter…”
“Yang Yi is the one who plays Rudy? A writer and singer went to make a movie and played the lead role, and he did a good job. Can you believe it? The warm interaction between the girls is so gripping that it’s hard to believe it’s his first time acting in a movie.”
“I went to see the movie in the name of Yang Da, but I didn’t expect it to be a rare masterpiece. Today, I also watched “The Adventures of Heaven” with my girlfriend. In an objective evaluation, “The Fugitive” is no better than “The Fugitive”. “Heavenly Fate” is bad!”
Of course, there are also negative reviews. Some people think that the shooting scene of this film is too simple, and some people think that this film portrays the police so badly that so many people can’t catch the two clumsy fugitives!
But overall, good reviews have a big upper hand!
“The audience’s word-of-mouth is very important. Don’t keep staring at the box office. After listening to Xiao Shunian’s film review, do you feel a little more confident in yourself?” Yang Yi smiled, “If word-of-mouth can be maintained very well. Well, our box office won’t just be four million!”
Lu Xiaoshu helped and smiled: “I also think that neither Achuan nor I have seen this movie, but after reading the movie review, I really want to go to the cinema to see it!”
Du Yuanlei was only hit by the box office before~IndoMTL.com~ She doesn’t understand what Yang Yi said.
However, she was not very excited, but said seriously: “The bad review is right, I really don’t have enough grasp of the gunfight scene, and I don’t have enough control over the action scenes, and there are still many areas that need to be improved. I will continue to research and learn!”
Yang Yi raised his brows and smiled, “Want to learn this? I can help you contact Director Chen Fengchen and let you study with him for a while.”
Du Yuanlei asked in surprise: “Really?”
“This should be no problem.” Yang Yi laughed, and everyone laughed, and the atmosphere of the coffee shop returned to its former positive attitude.
And Murphy said to Lu Xiaoshu and the others with great interest after watching them talk about the movie: “Xiaoshu, Ah Chuan, Mr. Jin said that you recently wrote a good song, can you sing it for us?”
The coffee shop on the corner of the street. It is fate to meet here. People with dreams will get to know each other here. After a short stay, they will also start and run towards their respective futures.
