Chapter 37 Roadshow
For roadshows, first of all, you need to contact local cinemas to discuss funding and hospitality arrangements.
You think your flop movie will get local cinemas to pay for your roadshow? What are you thinking? Go to sleep!
If someone even glances at you, you've already lost!
Of course, a well-funded production team can pay out of their own pocket to do promotional tours and generate buzz for the movie first.
However, Huang Anzhong certainly wouldn't pay that much money.
So nobody even mentioned the film crew's promotional tour!
Now things are great, cinemas are inviting them to do roadshows, and the cinemas will naturally cover the costs!
This made everyone realize that the situation was very good, and it seemed that breaking 10 million in box office revenue in a single day was not the end.
This movie really has a chance to break 100 million at the box office!
Although the film market has been booming in recent years, movies with box office revenue exceeding 100 million yuan are no longer uncommon.
However, a film that grosses over 100 million yuan is enough to add a significant entry to the resumes of all the main creators.
Especially for the two lead actors, having such a resume is basically equivalent to knocking on the door of the film industry.
This made everyone in the crew very enthusiastic, and even Wang Xiaoshuang didn't cause any trouble and cooperated fully by going to the theater to participate in the interactive activities.
As a result, the cinema's box office revenue more than tripled that day.
Many viewers who had seen the movie rushed to the theater upon hearing that the cast and crew of "My Sassy Girl" were there, causing a sensation!
When other cinemas heard about this, they invited the film crew to promote the movie.
Then on the fifth day, the box office exploded even further, reaching 17.33 million.
Online, the film's reputation has finally spread far and wide.
The ten commandments of the "My Sassy Girl" also began to spread wildly.
On the seventh day, the box office revenue surged to over 20 million.
Everyone was shocked by this rate of growth!
Such a rate of box office growth... let alone growth.
As long as this box office performance is maintained, the film's box office gross will definitely exceed 200 million!
With box office revenue exceeding 200 million, it easily ranks among the top ten in the domestic film market last year!
It must be said that in the information age, everything reacts very quickly, which is why this situation exists.
Before the information age, most people, including some cinemas, probably hadn't even heard of this film; it had already finished showing!
More importantly, the film market in this era has sufficient capacity, allowing high-quality films the opportunity to generate positive word-of-mouth!
If it were a few years earlier, even five or six years earlier, the number of movie screens in China was limited, and the market size was just that big.
With several blockbusters splitting the budget, there's simply no chance for low-budget films to survive!
Look at that famous movie from my past life, "Crazy Stone." When it was released in 2006, even with the delay, how much did it ultimately gross? A little over 20 million!
Even with this low box office, director Ning Hao achieved legendary status overnight!
That's because the market was limited during that period. There were almost no opportunities for low-budget films to succeed.
There are only a few cinemas and screens across the country. Imported films and domestic blockbusters are divided up, so there's practically no chance for your small-budget film to get screen time.
Ning Hao's small boat managed to carve out more than 20 million yuan at the box office amidst numerous giant ships, which is enough to cause a sensation in the entire industry!
Of course, this also relies on the support of powerful figures.
It's worth noting that Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" was the first film to have its release postponed.
If it weren't for the postponement, even with Ning Hao's talent, he wouldn't have been able to achieve a box office of over 20 million.
So it's like a pipe dream for many time travelers to go to that timeline and suddenly expect to make hundreds of millions in box office revenue!
There simply aren't that many screenings available for you!
Back then, both cinemas and audiences only trusted imported films and blockbusters. For ordinary dramas, they would at most buy a pirated DVD and watch it at home.
Only blockbuster movies with star-studded casts are worth going to the cinema to see!
This is why Wang Xiaohao said that from a market perspective, making those blockbuster films was a last resort, something they had no other choice about.
However, now that we've entered our second decade, the market has matured considerably.
That's how Wang Xiaohao got the chance to make a name for himself in a feature film!
On the eighth day, the box office results were released, shocking many. The box office for that day had skyrocketed to 37 million!
With this, the film's box office revenue exceeded 100 million.
Given this trend, reaching 200 million is no problem, and with a little effort, 300 million is not impossible!
Even with an investment of 50 million, you can easily break even!
Wang Xiaohao was finally completely relieved and no longer worried about anyone causing him trouble!
There's no need to even think about escaping or committing suicide!
Now he has to consider how to refuse so many enthusiastic offers of funds, given the sheer number of people offering them.
More than one person patted their chest and assured Wang Xiaohao, "Director Wang, whatever your next movie is, I'll cover all the funding!"
"Director Wang, what's your next movie? Count me in!"
Want to eat fart!
At this moment, Wang Xiaohao was already trembling.
His second film was no longer open to anyone who wanted to invest.
Of course, this movie is still showing in theaters, and it's far too early to consider a sequel!
Of course, Wang Xiaohao also felt a little regretful!
Unfortunately, the movie that was a huge hit in its previous life and became popular throughout East Asia was ultimately unable to continue its glory in his hands!
Although I had expected it beforehand, I still felt regretful when the result came out!
In my previous life, "My Sassy Girl" appeared earlier, pioneering a new model of female dominance and male submissiveness, with an innovative plot.
However, by the time they arrived in this world, which was essentially 10 years in the future, the storyline of a strong woman and a weak man was no longer a novelty.
It's practically impossible to recapture the glory of my past life!
Coupled with Huang Anzhong's lackluster marketing, it's highly unlikely that this film will break 500 million or 1 billion yuan and create a box office miracle!
Of course, Wang Xiaohao had some regrets, but not many. He was simply greedy for more after getting what he wanted.
After all, this is already a very good result! It's something he couldn't have imagined before the film's release!
Based on this performance, it's almost certain that this movie will break 300 million at the box office.
With a little effort, you might even be able to try higher!
So at this time, both Wang Xiaohao, who was living a life of debauchery every day, and Wang Xiaoshuang, who hid away from everyone all day long, were pulled out and put into business!
Cinemas across the country invited them to come for roadshows and meet with audiences, and many reporters wanted to interview the main creators.
Even some TV programs invited their crew to promote their show!
Everyone could sense that a blockbuster movie was about to be born!
