In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 292 Breaking 100 Million (24)

Breaking 10 million on the first day...

So far, only Amu's movies have done this!

"Hero" had 13.5 million on its first day, and "House of Flying Daggers" had 16 million on its first day...

Next up is "Party A and Party B 2"...

what does that mean?

"Party A and Party B 2" is almost certain to exceed 100 million at the box office, becoming Feng Xiaogang's first film to exceed 100 million in his film career!

Even though Director Feng had been in the world for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this time.

Shen Xudong smiled and suddenly said: "I just said that it is not a big problem to surpass "House of Flying Daggers"!"

Zhang Guoli thought for a while and glanced at Huang Zhonglei: "...We only have 14 days, it's a bit difficult..."

"Just do your best..."

Shen Xudong simply said what Zhang Guoli wanted to say: "...can "Kung Fu" be postponed for a week?"

Huang Zhonglei shook his head, "No, we have agreed to release it simultaneously in the three places across the Taiwan Strait!"

Shen Xudong reminded: "Zhou Xingchi is not easy to deal with!"

"Yes!" Feng Xiaogang nodded: "We had agreed to make guest appearances on each other before, but I ended up guesting in "Kung Fu" and invited him, but he said that the schedule was not suitable..."

"Verbal agreement... He may be very busy!"

"Aren't I busy? No matter how busy I was, I still found four days to film his movie!"

Verbal agreement…

Shen Xudong suddenly remembered that Zhou Xingchi had a verbal agreement with Hua Yi. Regarding "Conquering the Demons", there seemed to be documents exchanged but they were not signed in the end.

Roughly when the box office reaches a certain level, the accounts will be increased and so on. Finally, it was reached, but Huayi did not divide the accounts, and the two sides started to file lawsuits...

This matter shows that Zhou Xingchi also cares about the verbal agreement, so maybe he simply doesn't care about Feng Xiaogang...

But now, Huang Zhonglei may say that Huayi cannot do anything for Feng Xiaogang that would offend Zhou Xingchi.

It's a simple thing - on the one hand, Feng Xiaogang is no longer Huayi's contracted director, on the other hand, the contract has been officially signed...

Therefore, there is no solution to this matter!

Feng Xiaogang was just dissatisfied.

Shen Xudong took the data: "...I want to go upstairs. I'm so sleepy. I have to run around to promote it tomorrow!"

“…Everyone, let’s rest!”

Shen Xudong returned to the room and first called Gong Li to tell her the first-day box office of "Party A and Party B 2". The latter was very excited...

The reason why Gong Li cooperated with Feng Xiaogang was not only because the script was good, but also because he wanted to prove his business ability!

The so-called commercial ability is the ability to resist box office...

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Gong Li finally hung up...

Shen Xudong looked at the text messages on his mobile phone and was all concerned about the box office results on the first day, so he responded in unison: "I just got the news that it exceeded 10 million on the first day..."

After thinking about it, I called Senior Chen Hao.

Of course Chen Hao is also very concerned about the box office of "Party A and Party B 2"...

The new work written by Shen Xudong!

And it was released after "Hold the Call".

She was a little disappointed when she learned that "Party A and Party B 2" had exceeded 10 million on its first day.

After all, "Hold the Call" has only made 23.2 million at the box office so far, and "Party A and Party B 2" has performed so well. It is estimated that major theaters will release "Hold the Call" starting from tomorrow...

The facts are similar. After the release of "Party A and Party B 2", the number of screens for "Hold the Call" was cut to less than 5%...

I just saw the data, the single-day box office of "Hold the Call" is 120,000...

Shen Xudong consoled: "'Hold the Call' is a Hong Kong film after all, and Chen Musheng is not well-known in the mainland, and Louis Koo is not a superstar. Next time I will write a book to try to get you to cooperate with Andy Lau!"

"...Is it "The Legend of Zhao Yun"?"

"Yo, you know?"

"I heard them mention..."

"It's tentatively scheduled for "The Legend of Zhao Yun"... I'll also help you get a role in "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"..."

"Glory of the Tang Dynasty? Jackie Chan's movie?"

"...Jackie Chan likes actors named Chen very much..."

"we'll talk about it then!"

Chen Hao doesn’t like Jackie Chan very much…

Maybe I’ve heard too many rumors!

After chatting for more than half an hour, Shen Xudong was still a little excited - although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed a little emotional because of the string of numbers!

No wonder the headline of the entertainment edition the next day read the number 11 million...

Numbers can really stimulate people!

At this stage, what has the biggest impact on the movie box office?

Piracy!

Feng Xiaogang + Lunar New Year stall, this is a piece of fat!

What pirate wouldn't salivate?

but…

"Party A and Party B 2" has been confirmed to be released on DVD half a month after its release, and the DVD copyright has been sold to Zhongkai Audio and Video Company - 6 million!

In order to ensure that no one is harassed by piracy within 15 days, the audio and video copyright owner Zhongkai spared no effort to "offer a reward" to catch piracy - as of December 25, anyone who reports a pirate dealer to Zhongkai Company will, after investigation and punishment, be rewarded based on the actual seizure. The quantity is based on the reward standard of 0.5 yuan for each set of "A World Without Thieves", which can be redeemed within 3 days;

Anyone who reports and assists in catching the pirated production line of "A World Without Thieves" will be rewarded RMB 300,000, which can be cashed within 3 days.

For real!

Therefore, the anti-piracy aspect has been relatively successful. Of course, there are still pirated copies leaking out, but most of them are gun versions, which are not clear enough and are expensive - after all, it is the latest version!

A disc costs about 7 yuan...

Think about it, spending seven yuan to buy this kind of disc is really better than adding ten yuan to go to the cinema and watch the movie directly...

Moreover, generally speaking, people who spend a few dollars to buy and watch DVDs are not people who spend dozens of dollars to go to a movie theater.

Therefore, the impact of this incident on the box office is not very obvious...

What is the key to a successful movie?

At this stage, there are five major elements: publicity, schedule, quality, celebrities and curbing piracy.

Nothing is missing.

"Party A and Party B 2" doesn't lack anything...

Therefore, after the box office exceeded 10 million on the first day, as of the 12th, the box office of "Party A and Party B 2" in the first four days of the weekend directly reached 55 million!

Almost set a new record...

Among them, BJ's box office directly exceeded 9 million, and Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Wuhan also recorded 4.5 million...

Feng Xiaogang also worked more diligently on promotions, and by the way, he also held meetings in five more cities...

Everywhere he goes, he attracts a lot of media coverage!

Something like 'Feng Xiaogang: The success of this movie mainly depends on Xudong;', 'Feng Xiaogang: What kind of great director am I? The cost of "Party A and Party B 2" was less than 30 million.'

Well, Feng Xiaogang can be regarded as enjoying the treatment of a blockbuster movie. The whole country pays attention to it, at least the media pays full attention to it...

This is not over yet. As the audience's reputation continues to ferment, the media also provides overwhelming support. As of the 17th, "Party A and Party B 2" has been released for 8 days, and the national box office has officially exceeded 100 million!

It tied the record set by "Heroes" - "House of Flying Daggers" took 12 days to break 100 million!

After returning to BJ, just after getting off the plane, a group of people were surrounded by reporters and asked them how they felt about breaking 100 million. Feng Xiaogang replied casually: "Of course I am happy. "Party A and Party B 2" has been aiming for the box office from the beginning. It is a commercial For movies, the most important thing for commercial movies should be the box office of the movie, and the box office is the only criterion for testing the success or failure of commercial movies."
