Chapter 31 Do you know Fan Binbin? Please give me a monthly ticket
The next day, Zhang Chen was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door before he woke up.
After opening the door, Cao Bingkun rushed in hurriedly.
"Chenzi, what happened to your phone? Teacher Fu couldn't contact you, so he called me."
Zhang Chen looked at his phone and saw dozens of missed calls.
He was too tired last night, so he turned the phone to silent mode before going to bed, so he couldn't hear the call.
Zhang Chen quickly called Teacher Fu back.
"Sorry, Mr. Fu, my phone was on vibrate, so I didn't hear it."
"Well, I don't have anything to say. I just heard that the first day box office was over 400 million. Is that true?"
At that time, box office statistics were not yet intelligent, and for people like Zhang Chen, the distributor would specifically notify them.
But others can’t do that and can only read the news in the media the next day or watch the revelations in movie theaters.
There are people in the movie bar who specialize in reporting the box office of each movie. They might be people from the distributor. After all, the box office is also a kind of publicity. If the box office is good, many people will be curious and go to see it.
"Well, it is indeed more than 400 million. To be more precise, it is 460 million..."
"That's great. You've already made back your money in a day and a half. There's no pressure left."
Teacher Fu was very pleased that his student's movie was a success, and he was happier than anyone else.
The success rate of directing major is really too low.
Both the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy have star classes, but they are in the acting department.
There are really few famous people in the directing department. The occasional famous directors at Beijing Film Academy are those who crossed over from the photography department to the literature department, which is really embarrassing.
"Thank you, teacher."
After hanging up the teacher's call, Zhang Chen was just about to check who had missed calls when the blue screen of 8250 lit up again.
The caller ID showed that the person calling was Manager Dong from Guangxian.
Turn on
The person on the other end immediately asked anxiously, "Zhang Chen, do you know Fan Binbin?"
Fan Binbin? Zhang Chen was a little confused.
Fan Jiuyi?
"Yes, I know her, but she doesn't know me. What's wrong?"
Zhang Chen thought he was very humorous, but his opponent didn't get his point at all.
"Then why would she help you?"
"Hmm? Help me? How did you help me?"
"You do not know?"
"what do you know?"
Manager Dong on the other side was clearly angry: "Where are you now?"
"Uh, hotel."
"Then turn on the TV right now."
Zhang Chen obediently turned on the TV, which happened to be broadcasting entertainment news. A reporter was interviewing Fan Binbin:
"Ms. Fan, someone took a photo of you watching a movie in the cinema yesterday and published the photo. Is it really you in the photo?"
Fan Binbin smiled and said, "Yes, yesterday my assistant suddenly wanted to watch a movie, and I happened to have nothing to do, so I took her there."
"Oh, it really is you. I thought it was a photoshopped picture by netizens."
"Hehehe, no, I really went to see a movie. I just didn't expect to be accidentally seen by fans."
When Fan Binbin first debuted, her relationship with the media was very bad. She was having dinner with friends and was photographed by a reporter who said she was dating. Fan Binbin was so angry that she kicked the reporter.
So during those years, she was blacklisted by the entire Internet.
Later, he gradually came to his senses and took the initiative to repair relations with the media, giving gifts to reporters on the scene, and the situation gradually improved.
Now is the time for her to change. The reporters who interview her are all shrewd people. Of course they have to do something after receiving the gifts.
He thought Fan Binbin's going to the movies was deliberately arranged, so he took the initiative to ask:
“Is this movie starred or invested by your friend?”
Fan Binbin was stunned for a moment, then he understood and said with a smile: "No, I just went to see a movie."
The reporter laughed inwardly, thinking he had seen through their tactics, and continued to change the subject: "Oh, so what do you think of the movie?" "I think..."
Fan Binbin knew that the reporter had misunderstood, but it was not a big deal.
She tilted her head and thought for a while. It seemed that there was nothing at stake, so she decided to tell the truth: "The movie was good. The only bad thing was that I was recognized by fans and had to leave early, so I didn't see the ending."
Seeing this, Zhang Chen was stunned.
Why does Fan Binbin help promote the movie?
Manager Dong called again: "You really don't know Fan Binbin?"
"Real, more real than pearls."
"you sure?"
"Sure, certain, and certain."
"Then why would she help you?"
"how could I know?"
Zhang Chen wanted to know the reason more than anyone else. If he had such a relationship but he kept it hidden, wasn't he mentally ill?
"Okay." Manager Dong expressed his temporary belief.
"But this is a good thing. No matter why, the popularity of The Dark Invasion has indeed increased. You don't know, with yesterday's first-day box office and Fan Binbin's incident, the theater chain specially increased our screening schedule and gave us many screenings of Troy, hahahaha~~"
"That's good news indeed. How much can we expect from today's box office?"
"It's hard to say, but 600 million is definitely there. Although Fan Binbin is popular, she is not popular enough. I'm not sure whether her popularity can be converted into box office."
"You need to keep up with your publicity."
"You don't need to teach us this, we are professionals."
The most important thing in film promotion is to be willing to spend money. The most classic example in Hollywood is that "Paranormal Activity" cost only $10,000, but the box office reached an astonishing 100 million. Many people thought it was a miracle.
But what they don’t know is that Paramount actually spent 1000 million US dollars on publicity. If it were Lionsgate, it would definitely not have spent so much money on publicity, and the box office would definitely not have reached million.
Zhang Chen was afraid that Guangguang Pictures would be reluctant to spend money on publicity, but he didn't know that Manager Dong had already made arrangements. Later, Guangguang Pictures would respond and provide a private screening for Fan Binbin to watch the rest of the film in full, using her popularity to hype up the film.
Only then did Zhang Chen have the chance to check his phone. The missed calls were basically from his parents, classmates and teachers, and the rest were from people in the crew.
Some people sent text messages to congratulate him when they couldn't get through over the phone. Zhang Chen replied to them one by one and then called his parents.
"Dad, Mom, my phone was on silent mode last night, so I didn't hear the call."
"You kid, you made me and your mother worry."
"Haha, I'm so tired..."
"Get out of the way and let me talk to my son..."
Zhang's mother's family status was obviously higher than Zhang's father's. After snatching the phone, her tone became gentle again: "Xiaochen, I saw the news report, the box office was 460 million..."
"That was the first day's box office of 460 million." Zhang's father reminded him, but was immediately rolled his eyes by his wife.
"I'm talking to my son, don't interrupt."
Mr. Zhang looked aggrieved. I knew you women were lying to us, saying that men change after giving birth to children.
"Yeah, Mom, 460 million."
"So how much will the final box office be?"
"I estimate it to be more than 3000 million." Zhang Chen reported a conservative figure, which was also the box office he expected in his mind.
Making over 04 million was pure dreaming. It was then, and a sale of over million would be considered a big hit.
"More than 3000 million, so much? My goodness, your father's monthly salary is only 2000. One movie of yours is equivalent to what your father would make in several lifetimes. My son is really amazing."
Zhang's mother is very proud of her excellent genes. She received countless calls yesterday, all praising her son.
Those people went to the cinema out of face, but they didn't expect the movie to be so good.
Zhang's father received even more calls, all praising his family for having an artist.
Zhang's father and mother were really proud and felt the changes in their son after he became successful.
