Chapter 450 What have you been doing so far? (asking for monthly tickets)
Now it’s time to witness a miracle.
On October 3, "Lost in Thailand" grossed 410 million yuan in a single day.
On October 4, "Lost in Thailand" grossed 415 million yuan in a single day.
On October 5, "Lost in Thailand" grossed 416 million yuan in a single day.
On October 6, "Lost in Thailand" had a single-day box office of 418 million yuan.
On October 7, "Lost in Thailand" grossed 420 million yuan in a single day.
…
The seven-day National Day holiday has officially ended. "Lost in Thailand" ended perfectly with a box office of 2.8 billion yuan. This result surprised not only the industry but even Yu Xiaoshu.
Obviously, he is confident about "Lost in Thailand", but he feels that "Lost in Thailand" is a low-budget comedy movie after all. As a comedy movie, there is naturally a ceiling. Yu Xiaoshu feels that "Lost in Thailand" will be a success if it can get 3 billion yuan at the box office.
After all, 3 billion is not that easy to get.
His original intention was just to use "Lost in Thailand" to create a possibility for the film market.
But Yu Xiaoshu still underestimated the power of "Lost in Thailand", or to be more precise, he underestimated the golden period of development of the film market.
It's almost time now, already 2022, for the film market to expand, which is indeed not easy.
In this respect, Yuanxing is indeed not as good as the Earth.
This year, 2022, is bound to become a milestone for Yuanxing Films, or to be more precise, it is bound to become a milestone in the Chinese film market.
Among them, the Capital Film News wrote: "Lost in Thailand broke the 2.8 billion box office record during the National Day holiday, setting a new record for Chinese films. More importantly, Lost in Thailand broke the record for both box office and audience during the National Day holiday, which officially represents the Chinese film market ushering in new developments. What's even more rare is that the production cost of Lost in Thailand is not high, which proves that the era of 'script is king' is coming."
…
Of course, the Capital Film News did not only report the record set by "Lost in Thailand". On the contrary, the Capital Film News also focused on the movie "I Really Came from a Time Traveler".
"Today's film market is obsessed with worshipping European and American blockbusters, focusing on special effects and production, and neglecting the script. In the past two years, people have even returned to an environment where screenwriters are not important. However, I believe that this year's National Day will change everyone's view.
Because this year's National Day holiday record was set not only by "Lost in Thailand", but also by "I Really Came Across the World".
This movie attracted everyone's attention during the National Day holiday.
..."
Yes.
"Lost in Thailand" was the absolute protagonist of this year's National Day, but no one expected that it was not "Blood Case" or "One Man's Revenge" that stole the limelight, but on the contrary, it was "I Really Came from a Time Traveler".
The movie only had 4% of the screenings on the first day, but it still grossed 5 million at the box office.
On the second day, with the screening rate increased to 5%, the single-day box office exceeded 10 million.
In other words, in just two days, under such an extremely unfavorable screening schedule, "I Really Came from a Time Traveler" earned 15 million at the box office.
This is really a good guy.
As expected, on October 3, the number of screenings of "I Really Came from a Different World" increased to 10, and the single-day box office grossed 28 million.
In the next four days, "I Really Came from Another World" can be said to have taken up all the screenings of "Blood Case" and "One Man's Revenge".
On October 4, the screening schedule of "I Really Came from a Time Traveler" increased to 15%, and the single-day box office directly exceeded 40 million.
It was on this day that the screening schedule of "Blood Case" dropped to 10%, and the single-day box office dropped to 8 million.
As for "I Really Came from the Past", it remains strong.
On October 6, the single-day box office of "I Really Came from a Time Traveler" exceeded 100 million, while the single-day box office of "One Man's Revenge" fell to 90 million.
On this day, "I Really Came from Another World" officially ranked second in single-day box office.
As for October 7, the last day of the National Day holiday, the single-day box office revenue of "I Really Came Across the World" directly won 200 million yuan.
Complete outbreak
During the seven-day National Day holiday, "I Really Came from Another World" took in a total of 473 million yuan at the box office.
Although this box office cannot be compared with the box office of "Lost on Journey" during the Spring Festival, it has once again made the industry tremble.
You have to know that the actors in "I Really Came from Another World" are either all newcomers or people who haven't made it in the entertainment industry for a long time.
These guys are really quite cheap to be honest.
Some actors would even come as long as they were provided with food.
After all, Li Zijing also had no money, and everyone was doing this out of love.
Let me put it this way.
Li Zijing is quite good at this and he has done a pretty good job in ideological work. In short, Li Zijing hopes that everyone will work hard together.
At that time, Li Zijing said: "As long as our film can be released in theaters, I believe you can all get some attention. Don't worry, I will get this film released in theaters no matter what."
This is Li Zijing's guarantee.
It is precisely for this reason that Li Zijing is determined to release the film "I Really Came from Another World" no matter what.
He can not make money, he can lose money, he can even accept that the box office of "I Really Came from Another World" is only a few hundred thousand.
This is normal.
Oftentimes, cannon fodder movies are basically like this. Once they are released, they are a success. What else do they need?
But people always want to have dreams.
What if it comes true?
During the seven days of the National Day holiday, Li Zijing became the most dazzling star.
It can be said that among the hot search terms during the entire National Day holiday, apart from Yu Xiaoshu, the next hot search term is Li Zijing.
Because Li Zijing can be said to have written and directed the film "I Really Came from Another World" himself. He is both the editor and the director, and it is not easy for this film to be released.
At 10 a.m. on October 8, the day after the National Day holiday officially ended, the Capital Film News once again published an article.
The focus of this article is "I Really Came from Another World".
Not only that, there are also some exclusive interviews with Li Zijing.
For example, how was the movie "I Really Came from Another World" filmed, what did Li Zijing contribute, how was the movie bought out, how was it distributed, and how was it finally released.
kindness.
A huge amount of information.
Then after watching it, everyone was stunned.
“Fuck, Li Zijing actually spent 15 million to buy “I Really Came from Another World”??”
"This is so funny. Li Zijing paid 4 million for the filming of "I Really Traveled Through Time", and then Yuexing Media paid 5 million. Oh, and there were some commercials inserted in it, but in the end Yuexing Media let Li Zijing pay 15 million to buy it out. Bought it out, bought it out."
"Oh my god, what kind of good people are Yuexing Media, who actually let Li Zijing buy out the company? Are they afraid of the money?"
"I think Yuexing Media's vision is flawed. You have to know that Yuexing Media did not believe in Li Zijing from the beginning to the end, and did not believe in this movie at all. Think about it, isn't it unreasonable to ask Li Zijing to spend 15 million to buy out this movie???"
"Khan, now that you put it that way it does seem to be the case, but no matter what, Yuexing Media did suffer a huge loss this time."
…
Obviously, everyone was a little confused after reading the interview with the Capital Film News.
No.
It can't be said that I'm a little bit ignorant.
Because it is really completely incomprehensible.
What I can't understand at home is why such a movie should be abandoned? ?
yes.
Why give up?
The seven-day National Day holiday was like a roller coaster ride for Yuexing Media, and then it slid straight down the mountain.
Yes.
And it slid down completely without any hesitation.
Think about it, on the first day of the National Day holiday, everyone sincerely felt that the movie "Blood Case" could create a miracle. At that time, whether it was Sun Qi or Zhang Yiwei, they all believed that there would be no problem with "Blood Case".
No.
To be precise, Zhang Yiwei actually thought that "Blood Case" might not be a big hit at the box office.
However, even Zhang Yiwei did not expect that the box office of "Blood Case" on the first day would not exceed 100 million.
Considering the scheduling situation, the performance of "Blood Case" is really speechless.
Then Zhang Yiwei's idea was to cut the Gordian knot and no further investment could be made in "Blood Case", but Sun Qi didn't think so. He wanted to rebound with word of mouth.
What a result.
A rebound of loneliness.
The box office was cut in half the next day.
It dropped directly from 95 million to 45 million.
This is a blatant failure.
Then, Zhang Yiwei and Sun Qi prepared to discuss the future plans of Yuexing Media.
But they later discovered something else.
That is, the box office of "I Really Came Across Time" directed by his own director, Li Zijing, has begun to rise.
It increased from 5 million per day to 15 million per day.
It soared from 15 million in a single day to 28 million.
In other words, it only took three days for "I Really Came from Another World" to completely surpass the single-day box office of "Blood Case".
And it’s more than that.
On October 4, the single-day box office of "I Really Came from Another World" was 40 million, but the single-day box office of "Blood Case" was only a pitiful 8 million.
This time.
Countless people began to congratulate Zhang Yiwei.
"Mr. Zhang, congratulations! You guys at Yuexing Media are really strong. You put all your energy into Blood Case, and now you quietly launched a big satellite with I Really Traveled Through Time."
"Lao Zhang, you are amazing, and your teacher is amazing too. You know, this movie 'I Really Traveled Through Time' is likely to become the second biggest winner of the National Day. The production cost is really low."
"Lao Zhang, you have to treat us."
…
On the fifth day of the National Day holiday, Zhang Yiwei's phone was flooded with calls.
The phone literally exploded.
All of them were congratulations.
Congratulations to a chicken feather.
Zhang Yiwei was about to curse at this time.
If "I Really Came from Another World" had not been bought out at the beginning, Yuexing Media would now be able to carry out extensive publicity based on this movie.
You have to know.
There was almost no publicity for this movie in the early stages, but despite this situation, the movie created such a miracle.
So what if, what if, what if Yuexing Media could have given this movie some confidence, some publicity, and some resources.
At this time, Yuexing Media is definitely the biggest winner.
The outside world doesn’t know what’s going on, but the people at Yuexing Media know what’s going on.
"Have you heard? Director Sun has been arguing with Director Zhang a lot these past few days."
"Of course I heard about it, but Mr. Zhang is innocent in this matter. It was clearly Mr. Sun who was not optimistic."
"Yes, this is indeed the case, but can Mr. Sun take the initiative to admit his mistake?"
"Mr. Sun has become less and less willing to listen to opinions in the past two years."
…
Obviously, most people in the company are on Zhang Yiwei's side at this time.
On the one hand, Zhang Yiwei's policies at Yuexing Media have been basically correct over the years. On the other hand, most of the policies with Sun Qi's involvement were correct in the past few years, but have basically all failed in the past two years.
But sometimes people just refuse to accept getting old.
Sun Qi and Su Dong are a bit similar.
It's just a bit paranoid.
The more wrong their choices are, the more they will continue to make them.
It seems like a vicious cycle.
And at critical moments, Sun Qi always manages to let Zhang Yiwei take the blame.
This is not.
Regarding the matter of Li Zijing, Sun Qi believed that Zhang Yiwei did not handle it properly.
"15 million, 15 million to sell such a promising movie, Mr. Zhang, do you think our company is too rich?"
This is what Sun Qi said publicly to Zhang Yiwei at the meeting.
It's very simple, someone has to be responsible for this matter.
Of course Zhang Yiwei said that he was wrong.
Then, Sun Qi asked Zhang Yiwei and Li Zijing to have a chat.
It's about Li Zijing's signing.
Li Zijing has not been considered a contracted director of Yuexing Media, because Li Zijing can only be considered a contract worker, not a formal one. He has even been doing a lot of work but getting few benefits, because he feels that he is learning something, and he is even willing to learn something.
But now, Li Zijing is a little disappointed with Yuexing Media.
As a result, Zhang Yiwei's wish to negotiate a contract with Li Zijing was dashed.
As a result, Sun Qi decided to take the initiative to talk to Li Zijing.
"Zijing, the company has always valued you. You know, if it were someone else, we would not have invested in the film. And it was Mr. Zhang who did not do a good job regarding the buyout. I have already criticized him. From now on, the company will fully support you. The sequel to your film can be launched. I will let you continue to be the director, and I will let you be the screenwriter..."
Sun Qi said to Li Zijing with a smile.
In his opinion, he had to use his high prestige to get Li Zijing to sign a contract with Yuexing Media.
There is no problem with that at all.
But if it was before this year, there would be no problem, because Li Zijing regarded Sun Qi as his idol.
But now.
Li Zijing refused.
What did you do so early?
