At ten in the morning, Xiao Yuanyang called Xiao Yunhai.
"Director Xiao, how does it feel to be scolded?" Xiao Yuanyang asked with a gloating tone.
Xiao Yunhai laughed, "It's not bad. At least they're telling the truth, even if it's a little unpleasant. However, the most important thing is that the audience is buying it. "
Xiao Yuanyang laughed, "Not bad. Take a guess, how much did your 'Charlotte's Troubles' earn last night? "
Xiao Yunhai laughed, "Brother Yuanyang, are you testing me on math? Alright, give me a minute to calculate. "
Hua Xia Cinema had a total of 43,000 screens, and they took up 5% of them, which was 2,150 screens. Each screen had between 150 to 200 seats.
There were three screenings last night, and one of them was a midnight screening. The attendance rate was estimated to not be high, and it would be good if it could reach 40%.
The ticket price for Charlotte's Troubles was 30 yuan, and if the other two screenings were calculated based on the 80% attendance rate, the total box office would be 22 million.
After Xiao Yunhai told this figure to Xiao Yuanyang, Xiao Yuanyang laughed and said, "You're pretty good at math. Congratulations, the box office of 'Charlotte's Troubles' is 24.2 million. The first two shows are about 80% full, and the midnight show is 46% full. Kid, including the promotion, you only spent 30 to 40 million. I didn't expect you to earn back half of it in just one night. Looks like you're going to make a fortune again. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Brother Yuanyang, you're talking as if Hua Xia Cinema doesn't want a share of the profits. Oh right, since my results are so good, can you increase the number of screenings? "
Xiao Yuanyang said, "Don't worry. The box office, attendance rate, and number of screenings are proportional. Your film's results are so good, and the cinema won't miss it. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's great."
Not long after their conversation, Hua Xia Cinema announced the box office of Charlotte's Troubles on their official homepage, and it immediately caused a heated discussion.
With 2,150 screens, the film earned more than 24 million at the box office after only three screenings. This result ranked it fourth among the movies released at the same time in the country.
In first place was the American sci-fi movie "Star Trek".
This movie imported from Hollywood has been screening for a week. Yesterday, it topped the box office for the eighth day in a row with a box office of 160 million.
The large-scale historical war film 'Great Qin' earned 120 million at the box office and was the runner-up.
The action film "Dragon Traversing the Nine States" came in third place with a box office of 84 million.
That was how movies worked. The strong got stronger and the weak got weaker.
The difference between Xiao Yunhai in fourth place and third place was a full 60 million yuan.
However, the number of screenings for the top three films was much higher than Xiao Yunhai's "Charlotte's Trouble." If they were to calculate based on the number of seats, Xiao Yunhai's film should be ranked first. After all, it was a new film.
On the same day, Hua Xia Cinema adjusted the number of screenings. Xiao Yunhai's "Charlotte's Troubles" was doubled and received 4,300 screens.
The performance of "Charlotte's Troubles" did not disappoint the cinema. The box office increased exponentially and reached 85 million yuan on the same day, ranking third. It instantly caused a sensation in the film industry of Hua Xia. It was only 40 million yuan away from the number one film, "Star Trek".
The investment for "Star Trek" was more than 20 times that of "Charlotte's Troubles." The number of screenings was twice that of "Charlotte's Troubles." Even so, it earned 40 million yuan more than "Charlotte's Troubles." This result shattered the expectations of many people.
The score on the movie website was still polarized. In the audience rating column, the number of people who participated in the rating of "Charlotte's Troubles" had increased to more than three million people. The score had increased from 8.7 to 8.9, placing it in first place.
In the expert rating section, "Charlotte's Troubles" also ranked first with a score of 2.1, but it was at the bottom.
The huge contrast between the two attracted the interest of some passing movie fans. They all wanted to see what the movie that was praised by countless audiences and scolded by all the critics was like.
On the third day, the number of screenings increased again. "Charlotte's Troubles" successfully broke the 100 million yuan mark. With 120 million yuan, it defeated the popular "Star Trek" for the first time and won the title of number one.
Even though "Star Trek" had been screening for ten consecutive days, it was still hard to believe that it was defeated by a popcorn movie with a mere 20 million yuan investment.
On the fourth day, "Charlotte's Troubles" continued to rise. With 8,000 screens and 160 million yuan in the box office, it swept all the other movies in the same period.
The next two days were weekends. All the movies had a small increase in the box office. The box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" was even more jaw-dropping.
On Saturday, the box office hit 190 million yuan. On Sunday, the box office hit 200 million yuan.
Everyone was dumbfounded, especially the critics who were not optimistic about the movie. They all felt that it was a little unbelievable.
What was going on?
This was not scientific.
A skit like movie could achieve such a high box office. It was simply a joke.
Could it be that the appreciation level of the movie fans had dropped?
Just when they were puzzled, the weekly box office rankings of Hua Xia movies were released.
No. 1 "Charlotte's Troubles" 983.45 million yuan
No. 2 "Star Trek" 744.12 million yuan
No. 3 "Da Qin" 658.75 million yuan
No. 4 "Dragon Travels the Nine States" 416.58 million yuan
.....
Looking at the high and mighty "Charlotte's Troubles", the entire entertainment industry was dead silent. Then, there was a burst of heated comments.
Experts from all walks of life expressed their opinions on the success of "Charlotte's Troubles" one after another.
All the major forums on the Internet were occupied by "Charlotte's Troubles". They were all guessing its final box office.
On October 5th, "Charlotte's Troubles" seemed to have exhausted its potential after a burst of box office. The box office dropped from 200 million yuan to 60 million yuan. A drop of more than 70% caused an uproar in the industry.
The critics who speculated that "Charlotte's Troubles" could skyrocket past the 2 billion yuan mark were once again slapped in the face by the ruthless movie market.
Although Xiao Yunhai was a little disappointed, it was within his expectations.
After all, "Charlotte's Troubles" was just a popcorn-like movie. It was inevitable that it would decline.
The disadvantage of this kind of movie was that it would cool down quickly. It would not be like other classic movies that required people to watch it a second or third time.
However, even so, Xiao Yunhai made a lot of money.
According to the share with the theaters, Xiao Yunhai accounted for 47% of the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" in the first week. After deducting the filming and investment costs, Xiao Yunhai made a profit of 450 million yuan in just a week.
The entire movie market was turned upside down by Xiao Yunhai's small investment movie.
What did it mean to have a low cost with high returns? "Charlotte's Troubles" provided the best explanation for everyone.
Many entertainment companies did not hesitate and immediately launched many small investment comedy movies, hoping to replicate Xiao Yunhai's shocking results. Unfortunately, in the end, they could only follow suit. In addition to "Charlotte's Troubles" shocking the entertainment industry, another piece of news involving Xiao Yunhai skyrocketed.
That was Zhao Wanqing's "At Least There's You" album. On the second day after "Charlotte's Troubles" was released, it was crowned king and sold 20.34 million copies. It became the best-selling music album in the music industry in ten years.
The media went crazy and wanted to interview Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing. Unfortunately, one of them was filming in Hengdian and the other was nervously shooting the MV for his new album. They did not have time to pay attention to the media.
This made the reporters very helpless.
The couple was simply a weirdo in the entertainment industry.
If it was any other singer with such results, no matter how busy they were, they would definitely come out to show off. At the very least, they would accept some media interviews and participate in some TV interview programs. It would be a waste of such results if they did not hype it up for half a month.
But Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing were different. They were afraid that they could not avoid it and both of them disappeared. It would be strange if the reporters were happy.
In the following week, although Xiao Yunhai's "Charlotte's Troubles" shrank significantly, the box office was still strong. With 420 million yuan, it was ranked third on the Hua Xia film chart, only behind the newly released "Hellfire" and "The Legend of the Gambling King".
As for America's "Star Trek", it had slipped to sixth place and only earned 260 million yuan at the box office.
It had to be said that the competition for the box office in this world was too fierce. If you wanted to get good results, you had to at least beat dozens of movies in the same period. It was really too difficult.
Even if your movie could get good results in the early stages, as long as a new movie was released, it would inevitably bring a huge impact to the old movies. Once it could not hold on, your movie's box office would be greatly affected.
Unless your movie could be good enough to attract fans to watch it a second or third time, it was almost impossible to get first place in the box office for three weeks in a row.
Even "Grandmaster" couldn't do it back then, let alone Xiao Yunhai's popcorn movie.
Since the premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles" ended, Xiao Yunhai had been busy with the music video for his album. Xiao Yunhai had already finished the music video script for ten songs.
When he was recording the songs, the company found him an assistant director to set up the crew and prepare for the shooting.
Now, Lv Pengfei was no longer shooting music videos.
Ever since "Empresses in the Palace" became popular in Hua Xia, as the assistant director, he immediately attracted the attention of the company. Xue Tianhua even asked someone to find Lv Pengfei's previous TV series. After watching it, he promoted him to a TV series director without hesitation.
Recently, he took on a historical drama and was in the midst of filming. It was said that he was about to finish filming.
The new assistant director was called Shen Fei. He was also a big fat man. Compared to Lv Pengfei, he was not just a little bit better. Just from the layout of the set, Xiao Yunhai could see that this person's ability was average.
Fortunately, Xiao Yunhai had been polished by a movie and a TV series. He was no longer the same as before. Whether it was his organizing ability, coordination ability, or directing ability, they had all been greatly improved.
Xiao Yunhai only used two weeks to complete the music video of the ten songs and the photo album with quality and quantity.
In order to make the album catch the last bus of the movie "Charlotte's Troubles", Zhang Xuedong, the vice president of Tianhua Media, ordered the company's printing plant to put down all the work on hand and concentrate on printing Xiao Yunhai's album of the same name.
At the same time, the company immediately launched the album pre-sales. In just three days, the pre-sales volume of "Charlotte's Troubles" reached more than seven million, breaking the record set by Zhao Wanqing.
Many singers who wanted to release their new albums this month immediately changed their dates. What a joke, who would dare to compete with Yun Huang's album?
The third week of "Charlotte's Troubles" was not very good. The decline was extremely serious. It only got 88 million yuan in the box office and ranked 11th, completely out of the top ten.
The box office sales of "Charlotte's Troubles" also made the actors in it popular.
In order to help them completely open up their fame, Xiao Yunhai took them to participate in a recording of Happy Sunday. At first, everyone was a little restrained, but under the lead of He Feng and Xiao Yunhai, the two wily old foxes, they soon played together.
After the program was broadcast, the response was very good.
Of course, the box office sales were great. Xiao Yunhai did not forget the main cast of "Charlotte's Troubles". He had always been generous. Not only did he invite everyone to a good meal in a five-star hotel, but he also gave everyone a big red packet.
This made the students who participated in "Youth with Regrets" very envious.
Fortunately, their film was about to be released. They hoped that they could also have good results.
After a week of online pre-sales, the pre-sales of Xiao Yunhai's "Charlotte's Troubles" album reached a terrifying 9.36 million copies. In other words, his album had not officially been released, but it had already been crowned king.
At the same time, the video stores in major cities in Hua Xia called to order Xiao Yunhai's album, which added up to almost five million copies.
When Tianhua Media announced on their official website that Xiao Yunhai's album pre-sales of 9.36 million and orders of 5.27 million copies, the whole music industry was shocked speechless.
What the hell? It hasn't been released yet, but it has already sold 14 million copies. How can people live?
Xiao Yunhai's old friend Chen Huan participated in an interview program. When he was asked what he thought about this matter, he said helplessly, "For a musician, it is undoubtedly a misfortune to be born in the same era as Xiao Yunhai. Because under his resplendent light, no one could compete with him in terms of splendor. But at the same time, it is also a kind of luck. Because you can enjoy his beautiful music, which will open your ears and multiply your inspiration. "
"Let's wait and see. The Jingou Music Festival will be held in a month. Maybe this year's music festival is specially held for him."
When Zhao Wanqing's album reached ten million, there were netizens who said the same thing as Chen Huan. It was just that people's words carried little weight and did not attract people's attention.
However, after Chen Huan, the godfather of Chinese music, said these words, the effect was different. Everyone calculated in their hearts and was horrified to find that except for the Best Newcomer of the Golden Gou Awards, almost all the awards might be won by Xiao Yunhai.
It was too scary. Could it be that Xiao Yunhai wanted to get the grand slam at the Jingou Music Festival?
Just as everyone was talking about it on the Internet, Xiao Yunhai's album "Charlotte's Troubles" finally went on sale on October 21.
This time, Xiao Yunhai was very low-key. He neither held an album release nor did he do any promotion. He only mentioned it on the official website of Tianhua Media and his homepage. Then, he directly logged into the video stores in the major cities of Hua Xia to sell it.
Even so, it still did not stop the fans from being enthusiastic about the album. The sales volume on the first day reached 2.32 million copies, which shocked the entire music industry again.
Without exception, all the well-known networks, magazines, and newspapers published this information on their front page headlines.
"The King of Music is born, and the miracle of" Charlotte's Troubles "continues."
"Yun Huang's latest album" Charlotte's Troubles "has been low-key in major video stores. The sales volume on the first day shocked the music industry."
"Yun Huang's movie album of the same name," Charlotte's Troubles ", has been sold by millions of fans."
On the Internet, those fans who bought Xiao Yunhai's album jumped out one after another and posted countless posts on major forums.
"Yun Huang's products must be the best. Xiao Yunhai once again proved this with his album "Charlotte's Troubles". There's nothing to say. It's just a nice word. "
"Today, I waited in line for two hours and finally bought my idol Yun Huang's latest album," Charlotte's Troubles ". When I got home, I immediately listened to it. I can only say that the two hours of waiting were definitely worth it. "
"You asked me how much I love you, and how much I love you. My feelings are real, my love is real, and the moon represents my heart. This song was simply too good to listen to. Yun Huang is invincible, and I will always support you. "
