Chapter 809: Qixi Festival, I have to work overtime for my wife!
In the Earthling Studio, everyone was on high alert. The two protagonists, Zhou Xiang and Lu Bingyang, were so nervous that they had difficulty breathing.
Yang Hongxia also had a serious look on her face, not to mention Lian Xiaoyu who had just become a newbie as an agent. After all, this was an important event related to Zhou Xiang's future development.
So much so that Lin Fan, who originally had no psychological burden at all, didn't feel comfortable teasing them: Forget it, forget it, the child is so nervous, if I tease her any further, she will probably really cry.
After watching the midnight movie, this group of people did not go back to catch up on sleep, but instead gathered in the office, just for one thing!
That is the midnight box office and initial score of "A Little Thing Called First Love"! On the Huaxia Film Network, the premiere of the Qixi Festival movie had just ended, and the midnight box office and initial score of all the movies in this period were refreshed instantly. Yang Hongxia, who had been staring at her phone waiting for the results, immediately swiped the screen and looked for the name of "A Little Thing Called First Love" on the list.
"The Laughing Partner" ranked first, with a box office of 35 million at midnight and a score of 7.8.
"Code Name" ranked second, with a midnight box office of 31 million and a score of 8.1.
…
Yang Hongxia slid her fingers repeatedly, trying to skip these comedies and commercial blockbusters and quickly find the ranking of her own movies.
After all, "A Little Thing Called First Love" is positioned as a youth film, and as we all know, the screening rate of youth films has always been low. Even during the summer vacation and the Chinese Valentine's Day, when students are the main customer group, the screening rate of youth films is not as high as that of comedies and commercial blockbusters that are known as box office harvesters.
However, Shengxia Cinema had a pleasant cooperation with Lin Fan and Yang Hongxia, and made a lot of money with the two movies "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Liang Zhu".
Therefore, in return, the screening rate of "A Little Thing Called First Love" was comparable to that of commercial blockbusters, and was directly raised to 15%!
Even so, there are still only a few theaters willing to reciprocate like Shengxia Cinema. The vast majority of theaters, even for Lin Fan's sake, are only willing to give a maximum of 10% or 12% of the screening rate.
But Yang Hongxia is already very satisfied with this result. After all, in "A Little Thing Called First Love", the male and female protagonists are Lu Bingyang and Zhou Xiang, not Lin Fan and Xia Yan.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhou Xiang and Lu Bingyang are pure newcomers.
Zhou Xiang, although she studied at the Shanghai Film Academy, she didn't graduate! Although she had played a well-known supporting role in "Legend of the White Snake", she didn't have any foundation.
After that, through the second season of "Longing for the Yard", he gained a lot of fans. But these fans are first of all Lin Fan's fans, then the variety show fans, and finally Zhou Xiang's fans.
Counting all these layers, the number of fans who simply like Zhou Xiang and strongly support her has really dropped dramatically compared to the number of fans following her on Chaobo.
The box office appeal is almost non-existent.
Lu Bingyang, who was born in a talent show boy group, has a certain amount of traffic. After his debut, he transformed into an actor and filmed several melodramatic idol dramas, which also attracted a group of fans. Unfortunately, he only made "guest appearances" in the film industry, and there is no box office appeal.
If we have to compare, she is only slightly better than Zhou Xiang.
As for the other supporting characters...well, next one.
Then there are Lin Fan and Xia Yan, these two can be called the kings of the movie, they have both popularity and box office appeal, but they are just guest appearances, and their combined screen time is less than ten minutes.
No matter how fanatical the fans of Lin Fan and Xia Yan are, it is impossible for them to buy a ticket to support this movie just to miss ten minutes of the plot.
Because the box office revenue can’t possibly be counted towards guest roles!
So, yes, "A Little Thing Called First Love" is a movie that Lin Fan made specifically to promote newcomers. Whether from the perspective of volume or box office, the screening rate given by the theaters is already very respectful.
Yang Hongxia feels that people should be content with what they have, and should not expect every movie produced by her company to receive the same level of treatment just because Lin Fan and Xia Yan enjoyed too many preferential treatments when they were the protagonists in the past.
Of course, if the protagonists of this movie were changed to Lin Fan and Xia Yan, then without Yang Hongxia saying anything, the theater chain would double and double the screening rate! Unfortunately, there is no if.
Yang Hongxia consoled herself that this movie's midnight box office would not squeeze out comedies and commercial blockbusters and would be ranked at the top. She also scrolled down hard, hoping to see the movie rankings soon.
"Found it! Here it is!"
Li Xiaodong, who was joining in the fun, suddenly shouted, and instantly several heads appeared around him.
"Where? Where? I'm trying to flip forward from the last place, but I can't get to the top!"
Everyone looked over with condemnation: →_→
Lu Bingyang looked up at the sky in silence: Isn't this a lack of confidence in oneself! Lian Xiaoyu, who turned back from the middle, silently put away her phone: Fortunately, I didn't say anything! Xia Yan, who turned forward from the middle, also quietly put her phone in her pocket and showed a cute smile: I don't know anything, I'm just being cute.
Yang Hongxia, who was foolishly rolling back from the first place, said: ...Haha! There was also a group of staff members, some looking up at the sky, some laughing awkwardly, in short, they knew what they had done.
Lin Fan: ...A bunch of drama queens! "Ahem!" Lin Fan took in everyone's wonderful expressions and coughed dryly, "Well, Xiaodong, where are you in? What are your statistics?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Li Zhen Don't Know Anything Xiaodong, who was flipping forward from the tenth place, answered excitedly, "Sixth! Box office at midnight was 20 million, and the rating, damn, it's 9 points!"
9 points! "Fuck! Xiangxiang, you are awesome!" Lian Xiaoyu cursed.
"Brother Lu, you are awesome!"
"The best one is still Brother Fan, all three of his movies scored above 9 points!"
"Haha, congratulations! It's a hit!" The onlookers offered their congratulations.
But the person involved couldn't react.
Zhou Xiang was stunned: Is this the score I can get? Lu Bingyang was dumbfounded, his mind was not working, until Li Xiaodong hooked his neck and shouted in his ear "Brother Lu, you are awesome!", he vaguely reacted: "I am not dreaming, am I?"
Lin Fan slapped Lu Bingyang on the back: "What are you dreaming about? Hurry up and get up and work for me!"
Yang Hongxia also said excitedly: "Yes! That's right! The box office performance at midnight is so good, and the ratings are so high, so the subsequent publicity must keep up, and we must not waste such a good start!"
For the next month, you will all be doing roadshows and promotions for me. You won’t be allowed to rest for a single day!
Seeing Yang Hongxia begin to burn her little universe, Lin Fan subconsciously shrank back: "Well, now that the data is out, I'll go back and rest first. Well, the publicity is up to you!"
Wife, run away! Lin Fan took Xia Yan's hand, put oil on his feet, and ran away: Today is Chinese Valentine's Day! It's impossible to work overtime, unless it's for my wife!
I wanted to finish this chapter until Valentine's Day, but unfortunately, I don't have enough skills~ Please vote to comfort me~ (End of this chapter)
