Xue Duo was still nervous.
At this time, the entire studio is waiting for the release of the first day's box office.
The birth of this movie was a bit too twisty.
First of all, it was born when Xue Duo left. It was the first film after establishing the studio. Whether Xue Duo can gain a foothold will depend on this movie.
The second thing is the shooting process. Although it has passed, it is still extremely difficult when I think about it now.
After that, there were the things that happened during the publicity stage.
But fortunately, although a lot of things happened, it also brought huge popularity to the movie.
If it weren't for Lin Mu, this movie might not have received as much attention as it does now.
If this movie is an answer sheet, Xue Duo is now a student waiting for grades.
That nervous feeling made her whole body feel numb.
Especially in front of the studio employees, she couldn't show it yet. She could only pretend to be confident and returned to the office to call Lin Mu.
Lin Mu laughed helplessly, "It's now 10:20, and I'm lying on the bed at home, but you called me. At 10:45, I should be downstairs in your office."
"Glib tongue." Upon hearing Lin Mu's voice, Xue Duo's nervousness instantly eased, and he took a long breath before continuing: "Are you coming over?"
"You are so nervous. It won't be fun if I don't go there." Lin Mu imitated Xue Duo's tone and said, "Where are you~"
Xue Duo suddenly became angry and said, "That's enough for you!"
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'll take a taxi there. Is it at the studio?"
Xue Duo hummed sheepishly.
"Oh, just wait."
After finishing speaking, Lin Mu hung up the phone.
Xue Duo looked at her phone, adjusted her mood, and walked out of the office.
Arriving at the conference room, Jiang Zheng and Zhou Yuanyuan were still circling.
The box office forecast for "That Summer" was projected on the screen.
It's not just Xue Duo who is paying attention to the box office. As a director, Jiang Zheng, this movie is definitely as important to him as Xue Duo.
They have read the news on the Internet. Generally speaking, there are mostly positive reviews, and most of the negative reviews are due to the plot and Peng Jianming.
There were also voices scolding Xue Duo, but not many after all.
But that doesn't mean they can feel at ease.
In addition to the quality of the movie, the box office also depends on the film schedule and attendance.
It is now the end of the summer season, there will not be many movies released, and the competition will not be too fierce.
Director Lian Rui, who previously attacked the crew of "That Summer", will soon be releasing "The Past".
The opponents in the same period were basically small productions.
It can be said that Xue Duo did the best within her capabilities in everything in "That Summer".
But now she is still nervous.
The cost of filming the film was 100 million, and the cost of publicity and distribution was originally 50 million. However, after Lin Mu's intervention, the cost skyrocketed to more than 100 million.
The total cost is more than 200 million!
In other words, if this movie wants to make money back, the box office must reach at least 600 million!
When the short promotional video was released, the prediction given by the box office website was 500 million.
With the current popularity, 500 million should be no problem.
But the 500 million yuan still cannot be recovered. At most, the compensation is a little less.
Time passed little by little, and the numbers on the box office prediction website suddenly moved.
Jiang Zheng quickly got close to the projection screen. When the numbers froze, Jiang Zheng's heart dropped!
Three hundred million!
The box office is predicted to plummet suddenly!
Xue Duo was also shocked and stood up quickly: "What's going on?!"
Zhou Yuanyuan hurriedly called to inquire about the situation. After a while, she said with a livid face: "A bunch of bad reviews suddenly appeared on the Internet, saying that our movie is not good."
"It shouldn't be. Even if it's a negative review, it won't have such a big impact?" Jiang Zheng asked quickly.
Zhou Yuanyuan said with a dark face: "It was Yuan Guiyi and Peng Jianming's fans who did it!"
…
online.
A lot of accounts are constantly posting "That Summer".
"What a rubbish movie. I thought the quality was so good. After talking about it for a long time, it was just like a short video!"
"I'm so crazy that I spend money to go to the cinema to watch short videos!"
"The soundtrack is rubbish! This is a scam!"
"Are you saying that Peng Jianming's acting skills are not good? After watching the whole show, Peng Jianming is the only one with good acting skills?!"
“The domestic netizens are responsible for the box office exceeding 100 million!”
"How old is Xue Duo? He's almost thirty and still acting as a high school student? How shameless!"
A flood of offensive comments suddenly appeared online.
The previous cold treatment made Xue Duo ignore the possibility of them attacking again. When these remarks appeared, Xue Duo was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
When Lin Mu arrived at Xue Duo's studio, what he saw was Xue Duo gnashing his teeth.
Lin Mu put the supper on the table and asked Zhou Yuanyuan, "Did she eat a bomb?"
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't have time to joke with Lin Mu at this time. She pointed at the curtain and said: "The predicted box office is low, and it was underestimated."
"Then why don't you just wait until the official box office comes out? Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that there won't be so many people going online to hack you." Lin Mu thoughtlessly picked up the supper and shared it with everyone.
Xue Duo glanced at Lin Mu: "I'm going bankrupt, why don't I wait for the official box office to come out?"
Lin Mu unpacked the late-night snack and placed it in front of Xue Duo: "How much is the box office for your screening?"
"Thirty million." Xue Duo replied.
Lin Mu handed over the chopsticks again: "How many days, how many scenes, and how many films are scheduled?"
Xue Duo bit her chopsticks: "It was screened for seven days in total, and 10% of the films were scheduled. There were more than 4,000 shows in total."
Then he raised his head again: "Why do you ask this?"
Lin Mu continued to ask, "There are more than four thousand games. What is the average number of games? Is it 150 people?"
Xue Duo shook his head, "Not that many. This screening is basically a VIP hall with about fifty seats."
"Then if you calculate seven days, more than 4,000 games, 50 seats, 30 million, what is the attendance rate?"
Lin Mu's words also attracted the attention of Jiang Zheng and others. They sat down involuntarily and unpacked the late night snacks.
Jiang Zheng took out his mobile phone: "Thirty million...the attendance rate is 80%?!"
Of course, it is impossible to calculate the attendance rate of a movie as hastily as Lin Mu's calculation, but it is still possible to make a rough estimate using Lin Mu's method.
Usually a movie's attendance rate is around 70%, which is considered normal.
The attendance rate of "That Summer" reached 80%.
Although it is not excellent, there is no way it only has a box office of 300 million!
This is the end of the summer season. How can there be so many movies released in theaters? Some movies have too many unavailable screenings. The theater will definitely increase the schedule of "That Summer", and the box office will definitely be higher by then!
Now the box office is predicted to be 300 million, I can only say that this website’s prediction is inaccurate!
Hearing this, Xue Duo lowered his head and took a bite of midnight snack before saying, "You are quite good at comforting people."
Zhou Yuanyuan also nodded: "Indeed, Xiao Mu, what you say is quite pleasant. Although I know it is false, I am really not nervous now."
"You..." Lin Mu waved his hands helplessly: "Forget it, you can think whatever you want!"
This is Lin Mu's real theater calculation method, and they still don't believe it? !
