Chapter 22 1.8
On the way to the airport, neither of them spoke much. They had just met each other and might not even be friends. If you want to find a topic, you can only find it in the common area you are in.
"What's the name of the movie you made?" Han Yumian asked on his own initiative.
Xu Yan didn't expect that the other party would be interested in his work, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you want to cheer us up and support the box office?"
Han Yumian's heart was disconnected for a second or two: "Unsure."
Xu Yan raised his eyebrows. If the plan to pursue the dream Jiangnan remains unchanged, the mid-range and resurrection matches that year would be in conflict in time.
So he hurriedly said, "No, no, don't be uncertain! Even if you are better than you, even with your support, we will be the best in the world, but with your heart, we can ride the wind and waves!"
Han Yumian was not confused by this fancy tone. She seemed to have only that cold expression. She rarely saw any smile or anger.
She asked, "Did you make the movie?"
Xu Yan said: "There is another screenwriter. I'm sure the outline storyline and he will improve the details."
Han Yumian looked slightly, as if he was looking at the right reversing mirror, but he didn't know what he wanted in his heart.
She was a little surprised because there was no difference between Xu Yan's answer and affirmative answer.
Although I am a singer and don’t know how to film, I still know some common sense. This "kidnapper" who is about the same age as me is really a bit powerful. The crew will also provide assistants with them?
Han Yumian said with a nod, "I wish you a big seller!"
The car was quiet and no one responded. Han Yumian was a little strange. He couldn't help but glance at him and found that Xu Yan was staring at his phone carefully at some point, and his face was grim and solemn. Something was obviously wrong.
"What's wrong?"
Han Yumian thought about it, and out of the relationship between partners and an old classmate from the same school and the same class, he asked.
Xu Yan did not answer in time, and she did not urge him again.
About three or five minutes later, Xu Yan raised his head and sighed: "Oh! It's hard to do it. The screening rate is too low, only 1.8. Even if the premiere attendance rate is 100%, the box office has just exceeded one million!"
“1.8? So low?”
Han Yumian's little feet gently stepped on the accelerator, frowned and thought about it.
The screening rate is the playback space that a movie enjoys in the theater. If there are 100 cinemas and 20 films in the country, the screening rate of the film is 20.
This is very clear. The higher the screening rate, the more screenings there will be, and the profit will also increase.
The screening rate is the lifeline of the film, which greatly affects box office performance.
Under normal circumstances, 5 is a standard. If it is lower than it, it is likely that the number of views per day is less than 10,000.
1.8....
Unbelievable!
Han Yumian drove very slowly. Although he had been paying attention to the conditions of the cars on the road, he had already devoted half of his attention to Xu Yan.
Before the exam was taken, the teacher bluntly said that you could not pass the exam, and this kind of blow would be a bit too difficult to accept.
At this time, the world's number one crew group had completely exploded.
Liu Hao, the live recorder: My TM has been split. Although I have only made three movies in total since my work, this 1.8 is simply desperate!
Actor Liu Xuan: Alas...
Photography team: It’s so difficult. At first I thought it was about 5, but I didn’t expect the gap to be so big!
......
The disappointment and frustration conveyed by the mobile phone infected every member of the crew. Xu Yan wanted to say something several times, but he couldn't find the right words to comfort everyone.
Lin Yao said that the screening rate was only 1.8 and disappeared. No matter how others @ed it, he didn't come out. Zhang Jingyu, who went to Kyoto to review the film with him, said nothing, and no matter how many people called him, he didn't show up.
Xu Yan stared at the phone without blinking, his two thumbs hanging on the keyboard and didn't know which key to click.
Maybe it was because I was @ed too much, maybe it was because I was fine, Lin Yao finally spoke.
Lin Yao: I’m sorry, brothers, we have tried our best. 1.8 is the limit we have reached.
Zhang Jingyu: Sorry, I disappoint everyone.
Liu Hao, the recorder: I am actually fine!
No one wants to get a high screening rate more than Lin Yao and Zhang Jingyu. All the expenses of this film from beginning to end were invested by them. Although the other employees also invested a little, they were all small and had little impact on their lives.
Zhang Jingyu may not be very clear, but everyone knows that Lin Yao is spending all his money to gamble, either soaring into the sky or falling into the abyss.
Thinking of this, the crew members seemed to have forgotten their disappointment and began to comfort Lin Yao.
Xu Yan has been diving all the time, and the 1.8 screening rate was indeed unexpected, but when he thought about it seriously, he felt that he should have expected it earlier.
Because the market competition of Chinese films is particularly fierce, and it is mid-year, and the market share is seriously diluted. So many movies are waiting for this period, and getting the release opportunity is already a good start.
They disliked that 1.8 was too low, but they didn't know that there were still many movies that didn't have the chance to be released.
Moreover, looking at the world's number one crew, the popularity of the movie, the audience's expectations, the popularity of the actors, the investment scale of the film, and other factors that are not outstanding. The only one who can get on the stage is Lin Yao, who directed a 600 million box office.
In such a difficult situation, 1.8 seems to be reasonable.
Xu Yan sorted out the language briefly, and the editor said: Everyone understands that although the screening rate and even the premiere box office play a leading role, it is not a decisive factor. If the reputation and response after the movie is released, it will also increase the screening rate. Why don’t we give ourselves some confidence?
Lin Yao: Ayan is right, I still think our film is very good!
Liu Hao: 1
Screenwriter assistant Xu Yan: Art comes from life, our films are fierce, and in reality we are actually standing in the atmosphere...
Zhang Jingyu: Okay, it doesn’t make sense to say more now. Let’s wait until it’s really released.
The atmosphere in the group began to become active again after a few words. Xu Yan had a smile on his lips. Although it was stable, in fact, everyone's heart was afraid that it would be gray.
If a miracle is really good, then it will not be called a miracle.
Han Yumian kept paying attention to Xu Yan, and then turned his head and took a look when he saw him locking his phone.
Xu Yan sighed and said helplessly: "Now this situation is like two hands lying on the cliff and can fall down at any time."
Han Yumian drove slower and slower. This time she looked at it seriously: "This is not very similar to what you said!"
Xu Yan shook his head: "In the face of unoptimistic situation, you can't just give yourself a chicken blood. Of course, being depressed is not a solution."
Han Yumian thought about it carefully, nodded slightly, and agreed: "That's right!"
"To be honest, Director Lin should be the most uncomfortable now. I can feel his resentment towards Yan Ying." Xu Yan plunged his hands behind his head, looked at the roof of the car and murmured, "Yan Ying was promoting it before the filming was finished. When the starring actors came, the whole street was full of people. If they had good grades, they would probably be able to make Director Lin autistic, or even directly cut off his directorial career!"
"Is your director Lin Yao?"
Han Yumian twisted his snow-white neck and asked very unexpectedly.
Xu Yan tilted his head and said, "Ang, do you know him?"
Han Yumian pursed her red lips tightly and paused for a long time, "I don't know you, I used to be Yan Ying's."
"Well, I've heard of it, so I'm curious why you two have left Yan Ying with such a big resource and come out to make a living by yourself?"
After Xu Yan finished speaking, he stared at Han Yumian with bright eyes, and Han Yumian responded silently.
"Okay, I know you won't say it!"
"But after hearing what you said, am I against Yan Ying?" Xu Yan smiled twice, shrugged and continued, "To be honest, I also went to Yan Ying for an interview before joining Director Lin's crew. Unfortunately, they didn't like me. What they lacked is a female screenwriter, not a big man who doesn't even know how to wear women's clothing!"
Han Yumian had a thin smile hidden in her seductive eyes. Although she had no makeup on, the natural blush on the skin between her cheeks made her face look like a jade flower. Xu Yan couldn't bear to divert his sight at just one glance.
Han Yumian naturally knew that someone was staring at her again. She didn't care. After three or five seconds expressionlessly, she used her calf force and stepped on her brakes. Xu Yan fell forward.
"It's here!" the rich woman in the feces fork urged in the feces fork.
Xu Yan tightened his neck and let out a pain, "Can you stop being so fierce next time?"
Han Yumian said lightly: "No next time."
Xu Yan was stunned. No next time?
