The release dates for both films have been set.

It will be released on August 1st.

The premiere is at midnight.

The filming rate...

"Dancing Girl" 5.8%.

"The Dancing Girl of Izu" 5.1%.

This screening rate is no different from what Lu Hao had expected before, and it can only be described as terrible.

Of course, for a new director, this is normal.

After all, Lu Hao only had one film before, "The Tuner", which was a micro-film.

As for Chu Wen, there is no need to mention it.

Everything is determined by results.

If the box office is high on the first day, the theater alliance will naturally increase the screening schedule accordingly.

When it comes to the theater alliance, Lu Hao has a lot to complain about.

The cinema alliance in this world is an absolutely powerful channel, even more powerful than he remembered.

There are a total of 37 brands of chain cinemas across the country, 40,000 large screens, and a complex equity structure, which is cross-held by nine giant film and television companies.

The monopoly is more serious than you think.

Of the box office revenue of a film, in addition to 5% taken by the Film Guild as a special development fund for the film industry and 3.3% tax, the theater chain's share is as high as 58%.

In other words, if the box office reaches 30 million, he would only get one-third at most.

This does not include the money for publicity and promotion.

If it is a big production with a big cast and it is necessary to hire a strong publicity and distribution channel, then nearly 10% of the box office will be taken away.

After working hard to prepare a dish, you only get a few bites of meat after taking a few chopsticks here and there.

For a movie to break even, the box office revenue must be at least three times the cost.

Only if the return is more than five times, the work will not be in vain and there will be profit.

This is the main reason why commercial films are so popular.

This is the business environment, no one is to blame.

After all, investors and directors also need to make a living.

As for myself...

It's a pure BUG.

This system is a bit lazy, and no new tasks are released for several months.

However, the money was given very quickly.

The initial capital of 10 million each month will not be used by the end of the month. Generally, it will arrive on time three days before the end of the month.

I haven’t spent all the 10 million I gave in June, so I probably have about 1 million left.

The 10 million in July is not even time to be spent!

The 10 million in August has now arrived.

It's like paying wages.

No delays or arrears, no rise or fall.

"Why……"

Lu Hao sighed, this meager salary was so boring!

If you want to make a fortune, you still have to rely on box office revenue.

But to be honest, he really had no idea how well the two "Dancing Girls" films would do at the box office.

After all, there are few market references.

There is an unbreakable dimensional wall between commercial films and art films, which no one has ever broken.

One is mass entertainment, which makes a lot of money.

One is a highbrow work that is well received by the public but not commercially successful.

My current role is to be a pioneer, a pioneer in bringing highbrow art into mass entertainment.

To put it simply, it means you can make money while doing nothing.

…

Opening Weibo, Lu Hao looked at the hot search rankings.

The first on the list is the annual blockbuster movie "Sword Coming from the West", which has been read over 3 billion times.

This film has not been released yet, but some people predict that the final box office will be above 2 billion, and may even reach 5 billion.

This one is definitely unbeatable.

Lu Hao had no intention of fighting at all.

Continue to watch the trending searches below.

This star cheated, that star divorced, someone committed suicide by cutting their wrists, someone forged their academic qualifications...

Each and every melon makes the audience very happy.

The age of entertainment to death.

Lu Hao saw his name ranked ninth on the hot search list.

#40 trillion director Lu Hao#

At the film review competition party, I made a joke and the related video became popular on the entire Internet within a day. It was really a hot topic.

After all, Lu Hao’s passive personality on the Internet is that he is the third generation of a wealthy family.

Although it was a bit painful, the effect was still good. At least I got some free recommendations from internet celebrities and models.

Lu Hao neither admitted nor clarified it, but now, he has a new title.

If Lu Hao’s previous personality labels were “rich” and “handsome”, now there is one more.

interesting.

"I don't submit to anyone but Mr. Lu, the 40 trillion yuan director. I'm the equivalent of an entire country!"

"As expected of a mainland CEO who can easily hand out tens of millions in film review bonuses, he can even boast to new heights..."

"The pattern, the pattern, comrades..."

"Just a quick question, is 'Dancing Girl' still holding a film critics competition?"

"Same question. Our school's Chinese teacher singled out Mr. Lu for single-handedly increasing the Chinese class attendance to 100%."

"A 40 trillion dollar director, just for this domineering title, I'm definitely going to watch 'Dancing Girl'!"

"@Luhao, are you free? My eight best friends and I want to take you to the movies in the early morning..."

…

Seeing this comment, Lu Hao's heart moved slightly. After thinking about it, he logged into his Weibo.

Ignoring the 999+ private messages, I edited the dialog box directly and sent out a Weibo post.

"Dancing Girl" and "The Dancing Girl of Izu" have been confirmed for release. They'll premiere at midnight on August 1st. Girls, don't just agree to go see them with guys. They might say they have nowhere to sleep and ask you to get a room with them. That's totally rude. I suggest you ask me out, because I... I lost my ID.
