Chapter 890 I hope she won't regret it
"So, the screening rate of our movie has now reached 16%?" Lin Fan was still a little confused.
He just attended a royal ceremony, and then the pre-sale box office of his movie exploded. The word of mouth of the movie also came out, and the initial score was as high as 9.6 points, such an outrageous score.
Now Yang Hongxia told herself that in just one day, the film's screening rate had skyrocketed from 6% to 16%, a full 10% increase!
Who on earth gave up this schedule? Is the movie that lost such a large portion of its schedule still alive? The key is, will the crew come to knock on my door in the middle of the night and ask for my life? Yang Hongxia also felt like she was dreaming: "Yes, everyone gave up a portion of their schedule, and then they stopped deducting it during the official competition. However, the summer theaters will adjust the screenings to create an illusion for the audience that the schedule of Roman Holiday is constantly increasing."
In other words, Lin Fan got the screening schedule he wanted in advance, other movies got the popularity they wanted, and Shengxia Cinema Chain also locked in its own revenue in advance. It was like killing three birds with one stone, and everyone made money together.
Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh: "Tao Zheng of the Summer Cinema really knows how to have fun."
Yang Hongxia agrees: "In the past few years, Shengxia has gradually caught up with Huamei through several major moves, and Tao Zheng has made great contributions to this."
Without mentioning the distant past, starting with "A Chinese Ghost Story", Tao Zheng went against the crowd and directly gave 10% of the initial screenings. Later, when the popularity of other movies grew, he decisively cut other movies and gave all the extra screenings to "A Chinese Ghost Story". This movie alone allowed Shengxia to get her first taste of the action.
As for other cinema chains, because they have signed minimum guarantee contracts with other movies, they can only watch the movie go on in the middle of summer and cannot even get the hot soup they want.
Now there is another "Roman Holiday", which is expected to be a dark horse. Tao Zheng used a box office competition to forcibly take the screening schedule from several big movies and sent it to Lin Fan.
No matter what, Lin Fan had to accept this favor.
And other crews also have to remember Tao Zheng’s favor.
With Tao Zheng's brilliant operation, Shengxia will definitely make a lot of money this time. In the current situation where the movie box office is booming, but all kinds of bad movies are emerging one after another, a person in charge who can make the theater chain "make money in harmony" is simply a lucky star.
"It seems like we have to deal with Tao Zheng in the future," Lin Fan said half-jokingly, "After all, Tao Zheng has the final say on how many screenings our film can get in the future."
Yang Hongxia thinks: "As long as your film can maintain the current level, Tao Zheng will take the initiative to send the schedule to you for you to choose."
Not only the film schedule, but also the showtimes, the locations in the cinemas... etc. As long as Lin Fan brought it up, Tao Zheng would agree.
After all, no one can resist money.
After all, a good blacksmith must be strong himself! ...
After talking about the film schedule, Yang Hongxia began to urge Lin Fan to come back to work: "The return ceremony is over, Lin Fan, when will you come back for the roadshow?"
Lin Fan: "...Huh? Sister Xia, what did you say? Is the signal bad over there?"
"Don't try that. If you can't hear clearly, I'll call President Xia and ask him to pass on the message!"
Lin Fan was depressed: "Sister Xia, you have learned bad things!"
"If you come back and participate in the roadshow, I won't bother President Xia. After all, President Xia is still busy preparing for the new movie!"
Lin Fan had sent Xia Shaozhang several scripts on Deep Blue before, all of which were big-budget productions, so the early preparations could not be sloppy at all.
If he hadn't had to accompany Xia Yan's mother to the ceremony this time, Xia Shaozhang would rather work overtime at the company and finish filming these movies earlier.
Lin Fan laughed and changed the subject: "These movies, the props alone took a long time to make, I'm afraid we won't be able to shoot this year."
"Then you should come back earlier and finalize this year's work plan!" Yang Hongxia brought the topic back. "Last year when you took a vacation, I told you that you should finalize the work plan for next year or even the year after. But you refused to listen and insisted on taking a vacation first and then coming back to talk about it. Now, as soon as you come back..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lin Fan hurriedly stopped, "Sister Xia, stop nagging, can't I go back?"
Yang Hongxia was satisfied: "Then I'll book a plane ticket for you!"
"Don't! Don't do it yet!"
"Are you regretting it again?"
“No, Sister Xia, the movie Roman Holiday was released simultaneously across the Blue Star, but yesterday was the ceremony for Mia’s return to the royal family, so here in Bolai, the premiere of the movie was moved back a day.
That is to say, today is the first time this movie is shown in Bolai. I have already made an appointment with Yanyan and that elementary school girl...Mia! to watch a midnight movie tonight!"
Lin Fan almost slipped up, but luckily he stopped himself in the end. Otherwise, if Sister Xia knew that he called the princess of Bolai a primary school kid, she would probably turn into Tang Monk again and recite the tight hoop curse to him.
"Is that so?" Yang Hongxia just remembered this. "Well, since we've already made an appointment... I'll book you a flight for the day after tomorrow. After watching the midnight movie, you can have a good sleep during the day, and it'll be just right for us to come back the day after tomorrow. Okay, it's settled!"
"Hello!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Before Lin Fan could object, he heard the voice of the other party hanging up the phone: "...This Sister Xia has really learned bad habits. She has even learned to hang up the phone in advance."
Well, it must be Sister Xia who has learned bad things, and it is definitely not because of me forcing myself.
…
"Lin Fan, are you ready? Let's go!" Xia Yan walked out of the dressing room.
Lin Fan checked the local time displayed on his phone: "Are we leaving so early? We're watching the midnight show, and it's only a little after eight."
Xia Yan explained: "Because we are going with Mia, Mia has other plans, such as attending the premiere of a local blockbuster in Bolai, and giving a speech to thank the filmmakers for their contribution to the development of Bolai's cultural and entertainment industry. And then to cordially express her condolences to the members of the Bolai Film Association..."
"Okay, I get it." Lin Fan raised his hand to stop Xia Yan from reciting some elementary school kid's itinerary. "In short, we have to enter early, otherwise we might not be able to squeeze in when the movie is officially released, right?"
"Yes, Mia has just returned to the royal family, and her every move is attracting much attention. Even when she watches a movie, there will be many reporters and people who care about why she chose to watch this movie." Xia Yan was a little helpless and a little distressed.
But this is Mia's own choice. Since she has made the choice, she must bear the corresponding responsibilities.
Just like the choice made by Princess Anne in "Roman Holiday", Mia must also be responsible for her own choices.
Lin Fan stood up: "I hope she won't regret it."
Xia Yan smiled and said, "She knows what she is doing."
