On March 1st, the film «The Escaped Prisoner» was released. The filming rate was not high nationwide. At the same time, the film was ranked behind. However, in the off-season of this movie, its topicality is not low. The media reported the heat in the top three!
The film starring Yang Yi, Geng Sha, and Guo Ziyi starred in the supporting role. Although their reputation was not significant when they were filmed, Yang Yi did not say it now. Geng Sha is already a folks in the country who are relishing Xu Sanduo. Guo Ziyi is also a new artist who has just emerged in the «Unlimited Challenge (Go Fighting!)».
Of course, this movie is not optimistic. Yang Yi and Geng Sha have not starred in the movie. Guo Ziyi used to shoot only a short film, and they have never played a movie.
Can such a cast line be able to make a good movie?
Even though many media are following «The Escaped Prisoner», more people are waiting to see Yang Yi’s jokes. This film written, invested and starred by Yang Yi will make Yang Yi, who seems to be miraculously happening, encounter. A painful flop?
Moreover, I heard that he and Mo Fei’s daughter were used in the movie. The reporters are anxious to prove that Yang Yi’s crony behavior is a mistake!
As for the rookie director Du Yuanlei, she was directly ignored.
The attendance rate of the premiere is the same as the placement rate, not high!
Because people who like to watch movies basically go to some well-known directors, or go to the familiar faces of some famous movie actors in the propaganda film. There is no big investment, no famous director, no The movies of big-name actors are obviously not attracting the attention of passers-by fans.
I was able to go to the movies on the first day of the premiere. In addition to Yang Yi, their die-hard fans, there are also some strangers.
……
“The first day of the box office was only 4,100,000.”
The next day, at Street Corner’s Coffee Shop, Du Yuanlei, who just finished the call, read the data of the premiere box office. Her face was full of regrets and tiredness.
The box office data said that the low is not low, there are still many million behind the bottom, but the height is not high, in the box office of the day, it ranked sixth, not to mention the middle, the first place «Heavenly Adventure» has been released for 14 days, and the box office still has more than 7.3 million on the same day, ranking first!
Compared with the sixth place, the difference is naturally obvious, and it is no wonder that Du Yuanlei is full of unwillingness.
“I think there is a big gap in the layout. The coverage of «Heavenly Adventure» is as high as 26%. How many times is it? If we can also have 26% of the film, I think we There are also tens of millions of box office!” Wang Cao snorted and said indignantly.
“Not just the gap in the filming, we invest, the lineup of actors, many can not compare with others, I think there are more than four million box office is already very good!” Zhu Liyang laughed, “you look at the back of the star reflection The fate of the sci-fi love, which is said to invest two billion yuan in science fiction love movies, the stars are gathered, the results of the premiere is not on the streets? Now the day’s box office is only more than one million, it is estimated that when the release, even the cost will not receive come back.”
“Hey, can you say something good?” Long Ni said with a sigh of relief. “In fact, more than four million are already very good. Is it good? On the first day of the premiere, we can get four in our first movie. More than one million box office, at least it is a good or even good result.”
“A’Ni, don’t blame them, I am not satisfied. The script of Big Brother Yang is really good. Maybe I didn’t shoot well enough. I can’t express my feelings more deeply.” Du Yuanlei blamed herself. .
“Sis Lei, is our cost recovered?” Lu Xiaoshu, who was holding the guitar next to them and asked them to discuss, curiously asked, he was a movie Little White.
Miao Chuan pulled Lu Lushu next to him: “You don’t interrupt, now it’s just the box office on the first day.”
“But there are a lot of four million!” Lu Xiaoshu asked confusedly.
“Four million, want to deduct 5 percent of the film special funds and 3 percent of the tax, and 2 percent of the copyright protection fund fees. Also with the cinema, with the issuing company and so on. Related parties.” Wang Cao explained to him, “The final Big Brother Yang can be divided into a million or so.”
“Our film production costs are not high, probably cost more than five million. Originally, there are not so many, but Big Brother Yang because the requirements are more elaborate. But the cost of the announcement before the film release can be quite a lot, you think about it, except for the management Those media, Weibo propaganda, etc., Big Brother Yang and Geng Sha are very eager to promote our films. These are a lot of expenses. Of course, it’s a very cheap one, but it’s going to be cheaper. Some of the publicity activities, these add up, the cost of the declaration is no less than five million, even if I look at the arrangement of Sis Xiaojuan, it is estimated that there may be more than 10 million.” Wang Cao counted this account, Lu Shaoshu was stunned.
“That is, the film has to be released for more than half a month to recover the cost?” Lu Xiaoshu took a breath and asked.
How can the calculation of the box office be simple multiplication and division?
When they talked, Yang Yi and Mo Fei also arrived, and Mo Fei smacked the little scented chews and swept the oppressive atmosphere in the coffee shop.
The cute little baby has become the center of everyone, especially a few girls. Even Du Yuanlei, who was just depressed, is now mating with her motherhood and teasing Sakura’s big eyes that he can’t help. laugh it out.
“What are you talking about?” Yang Yi smiled and patted Lu Xiaoshu’s shoulder and said.
Lu Xiaoshu and Wang Cao talked about the box office problem just now.
“Little Du, come over!” Yang Yi waved and waved Du Yuanlei and others, saying, “The movie box office, Xiaojuan also told me that four million, this is a good start.”
Everyone was quiet, quietly listening to Yang Yi.
“In fact, I don’t care about the box office, because this is our first movie. It is an important opportunity to hone our team. Even if I lose it, I don’t care, so Little Du, don’t give yourself too much. pressure.”
Yang Yi turned around and said: “But I know that after the 4 million box office on the first day, I suddenly felt that our movie might be successful, why? Because we have a newbie, on the first day of the show. There are four million box office, which is amazing!”
Du Yuanlei also wants to explain that the box office is not high and worried about future problems.
Yang Yi smiled and waved his hand and said: “The first day of the box office does not represent anything. What you should see is the evaluation of those audiences! I have seen a lot before, how do the audience members say? small tree, You are giving everyone a thought.”
Lu Xiaoshu inexplicably took over Yang Yi’s cell phone and began to comment on the above.
“Looking at the movie name, I thought it was a crime movie. I was wrong. It was a comedy with a criminal coat! The whole process of funny, and the appearance of a little girl made this film a difficult one. Forget the warmth, until now, I still remember the little girl’s long, soft hair…”
“There are a lot of laughs in the movie. The most memorable thing is when Geng Sha is clumsy when he robs the bank. Geng Sha can really play the stupid, especially when the bank staff comes out from the counter, the whole theater laughs. flipped……”
“Rudy is a Yi Yi? A writer, singer to film, protagonist, and played well, you dare to believe? Yang Yi reflects the criminal’s reluctance, and will also be with the little girl. The warmth of the interactive interpretation is so exciting that it is hard to believe that he is the first to play a movie.”
“I went to see the movie in the name of Great Yang, but I didn’t expect it to be a rare masterpiece. Today I also watched «Heavenly Adventure» with my girlfriend. Objectively, «The Escaped Prisoner» is no better than «Heavenly Adventure. » Poor!”
Of course, there are also bad reviews. Some people think that the filming scene of this film is too rudimentary. Some people think that this film portrays the police too badly. So many people can’t catch two clumsy fugitives!
But overall, praise has a big advantage!
“The reputation of the audience members is very important. Don’t always look at the box office. Now after listening to the movie reviews of the small tree, are you a little confident about yourself?” Yang Yi laughed. “If word of mouth can be kept very good, we The box office will not be just four million!”
Lu Xiaoshu helped me and smiled. “I also think that I haven’t seen this movie with A’Chuan, but after watching the film review, I just want to go to the cinema to have a look!”
Du Yuanlei was only hit by the box office before, and she didn’t understand what Yang Yi said.
However, she was not very excited, but said seriously: “The bad review is correct. My grasp of the shooting scene is not enough. I have insufficient control over the action movie. There are still many places to improve. I will continue. Research, study!”
Yang Yi raised a brow and smiled: “Would you like to learn this? I can help you contact Director Chen Fengchen and let you go and learn with him for a while.”
Du Yuanlei asked with surprise: “Really?”
“This should be no problem.” Yang Yi laughed, and everyone laughed, and the atmosphere of the coffee shop resumed the positive trend of the past.
And Mo Fei watched them talk about the movie, and they said to Lu Xiaoshu with great interest: “Small tree, A’Chuan, Teacher Jin said that you have recently written a good song, can you sing to us?”
Street Corner’s Coffee Shop, where gatherings are fate, people with dreams, know each other here, and short-term stays will start in the future.
