Chapter 511: Broke a series of records

At 7:50 in the evening in New York, three thousand two hundred people walked out of the Porter Palace Theater.

Immediately, the audience waiting outside can tell from everyone's grinning faces that the movie is really good.

Just like what the TV stations and the media said, it is definitely the funniest groundbreaking film in the history of film.

A TV reporter in New York stopped two beautiful young girls.

The first question asked, the two girls answered excitedly, ‘Henry is so attractive, I really want to marry him. ’

And ‘Kevin is really cute and smart, if his husband and children are Henry and Kevin, there will be no regrets in life’.

Then when interviewing children, at least 80% of the little girls said that they would marry Li Changheng when they grew up.

At least half of the little boys said they liked Li Changheng, so Jim and Madeleine were immediately relieved after seeing the newspaper the next day.

His son is definitely famous all over the country, but there is a super boss on it, and he will not become a target.

This evening, movie theaters in 1,000 major cities across the country ushered in the peak of movie viewing.

Even from 11:30 to 1:00 in the morning, the attendance rate can exceed 85%.

Three movies in one night, with an average attendance rate of more than 94%, directly broke the record of the 3200-seat Porter Palace Theatre.

At 3 o'clock in the morning on January 16.

Barron and Kalman, the two in charge of Hollywood, are the helms of the two major film companies, smoking cigars and looking anxiously at the phone on the table.

Attendance statistics in this era are really calculated entirely by humans.

The only reassuring thing is that Americans at this time are not as lazy and expensive as the future.

Moreover, a thousand movie theaters themselves also want to get the data from the audience in real time, in order to decide whether to add movie theaters in third-tier cities to the broadcast of Home Alone.

Speaking of which, the scale of American movies at this time is not generally large.

Because of censorship, at least 40% of the box office in those movie theaters in small cities in the United States comes from Europa's special art films.

And this is also the most dissatisfied part of the American film industry with Europa movies.

Many things on my side are restricted by various conservative forces in society, but the Europa people export a large number of movies that American men like to watch under the slogan of art.

In a certain year in the future, Americans will simply upgrade themselves and set up a second Hollywood directly.

"Ring, Ring, Ring."

A series of bells rang in the office late at night, and immediately frightened Barron and Kalman almost jumped from their chairs.

"Hello", Kalman who answered the phone, after listening to the report on the phone, his whole body was in a trance in an instant.

After being awakened by the voice in the microphone, the voice stammered and asked, "You, you say it again, what is the box office?"

"3.4 million US dollars, the overall attendance rate of one thousand cinemas is 75%."

The people on the phone said with a flushed face with excitement, "Los Angeles, New York, Houston, San Francisco, Miami and other big cities have more than 90% attendance rates.

Even the occupancy rate of first- and second-tier cities in central China is at least over 40%.

This data is compared with all the movies in the past ten years, directly breaking the record of opening the box office, attending the attendance, and then asking the praise.

Moreover, it is different from what we think.

Not only children like it, but young people also like this movie incredibly.

I was outside the Nabel Theater in San Francisco and interviewed more than a dozen girls from the University of the Arts who went to the movies together.

If the girls in their school who see through the propaganda are deceiving, know that Henry-Lee is the advertisement Lee that appeared at the beginning of the movie, at least half of the girls will enter the cinema without hesitation.

Moreover, the dozen or so women actually bought movie tickets a week later in order to see Henry Lee again, and planned to see it again.

They even complained to me that there is no panda restaurant in San Francisco, otherwise they would definitely go to a restaurant where Henry Lee would eat.

Boss, you also know that the little girl around 20 years old is not only not bad in her spending power.

It can also drive at least 60% of male peers to follow them for consumption.

So I think we must change our propaganda strategy, and transfer the main propaganda target from Wheat Cowley to Henry Lee.

At the same time, at least five hundred film copies must be printed, otherwise it will not be able to meet the needs of third-tier and small-town movie theaters. "

Kalman was ecstatically thinking about $3.4 million, and the overall attendance rate of 75%.

This means that if there is no accident every day and Saturday, the box office is likely to directly break 10 million.

Then on Sunday, even if the number of movie viewers drops by about 20%, there will be 8 million.

The box office broke through US$20 million on the first Wednesday, which seems to have broken any previous record.

It was even more than 700,000 dollars more than the tenth place in the box office rankings last year.

Moreover, based on 90% of the box office share of the first week, Lianmei immediately had a net income of 18 million.

Think about Henry-Lee’s publicly announced film shooting cost of 3 million US dollars, 1,500 copies is 7.41 million US dollars ~ lightnovelpub.net~ This means that even if 15% of the release is deducted, not only will the first three days of the first three days be paid back. Investment, and still make a direct profit of at least 5 million US dollars?

No, it seems that I heard that the three companies that appeared in the first advertisement have already paid the first installment of 3 million US dollars.

Moreover, the rumors also say that this contract states that the advertising fee has risen step by step.

No one knows how to go up the ladder, but if you just count the number of movie viewers, in the end, maybe the three companies will willingly pay at least $10 million in advertising expenses.

God.

Why is there such a smart, so profitable, and so greedy person in the world?

It is a pity that this super boss is not his own boss.

When Kalman finished thinking about it, his brain was hot, and he slapped himself in the face.

Then his mind was full of envy and jealous thoughts, looking at Barron who was scared by the slap just now.

Then I thought that once the two companies merged, I would really be able to overthrow this guy and sit as the president of the new company.

But is it really good to work under a boss who is sure to break various box office records and is rich enough to buy the entire Hollywood?

A boss who knows the inside story and can even be the leader on his own will not give the team too much power.

This means that there will definitely be a reputation, after all, Hollywood CEOs rely on the box office.

But the benefits are hard to say.

It is really difficult to decide whether to ask for the name first, then the money, or whether to ask for the money and the name together.

Then Kalman thought that the box office was beyond everyone's expectations.

The direct consequence is that all kinds of capital will definitely be stimulated by money, and even just following Henry Lee, the king who has never failed, will swarm into Hollywood.
