Chapter 270 I Will Deduct Your Salary

In 1979, the annual number of movie viewers in China reached 200 billion, which is a peak that is now unattainable.

It's not that the resistance to piracy was strong, but that there was no room for piracy at that time.

At that time, even television was not popular, and you had no place to release pirated copies.

In addition, entertainment activities are not as rich as they are now. At that time, apart from going to the cinema to watch movies, you really couldn't find other ways of entertainment.

However, with the popularity of home TVs, this number has also shown a cliff-like decline.

From 79 billion in 200, it plummeted to more than 93 billion in 40.

In the few years at the turn of the century, DVDs became popular, and the annual box office did not reach 10 billion.

Piracy is really uncontrollable. If you distribute the copy, they can just take it out and use it immediately.

If you use a digital key, other pirates will spend money on it.

No matter how strict the control is, people can't resist people directly taking the equipment to the cinema to record.

Some people bought those gun versions with shocking heads and laughter from the audience.

This is why movies value the box office in the first week.

The first week's results basically determine the success or failure of the movie, leading the pirated version by a time difference.

After two weeks, basically lingering.

After the peak viewing period of the National Day, the attendance rate of the piano is decreasing day by day.

But it's also one of the most powerful movies released in the same period.

Painted Skin has been squeezed to such an extent that there is no living space at all, and it was released two days earlier than the original time and space.

In the last two days, the piano has returned to light, contributing 1300 million box office in the two days.

As of the end, Gang's Qin has won 2.9 million in the mainland, including overseas, Hong Kong and Taiwan, a total of 3.36 million perfect results, and announced in advance that it will dominate the annual leader.

Ji Yun's name has little appeal in Wanwan and overseas. The last time he became famous in Wanwan was as the Condor Heroes a few years ago.

As for Xiangjiang's market share, most of it is contributed to "Painted Skin".

Universe Dan, who had a relatively small role, was forcibly promoted, and relied on his own strength to win a blockbuster box office.

Finally, Brother Xun was not wronged in vain.

Painted Skin took the advantage of being released first to accumulate popularity, and it is not in the same way as Piano of the Piano. Although the overall film schedule has declined, it still won a lot of box office in some provinces that love martial arts and fantasy themes.

In the end, he won 2.05 million. Although it was a little less than the original time and space, he still made a lot of money.

Ji Yun fell asleep at home for two days, and finally made up for the physical strength he had consumed before.

Lifting up the quilt lightly, leaving a breakfast for Wan Qian who was just recovering from a serious illness, Ji Yun rushed to the studio.

"What about people?"

When I arrived at the office, it was very deserted.

Ji Yun was stunned for a moment and then he was relieved. With such good grades yesterday, it was justifiable for Wen Dong to give them a holiday today.

I have been busy all over the world, and the backstage employees have not rested. I have also worked overtime for online promotion and online interaction for two weeks. It is time to take a break.

Just give them a day off with pay.

But the perfect attendance award should be deducted!
Ji Yun shook his head lightly, alas, I am so kind.

Walking into the corridor, Ji Yun was about to make a phone call with Nihong.

The film was sent abroad to participate in awards, and got replies from Sydney Film Festival and Tokyo Film Festival.

It was nominated for the Sydney Film Festival Jury's Special Recommendation Award and the Tokyo Film Festival's Best Actor nomination.

Two days ago, I was calling to ask if Ji Yun could attend. At that time, he was busy running the road show, so he missed this matter. Now that he is free, he still has to give an answer in person.

International long-distance calls are a bit expensive, so it is more appropriate to use the company phone.

Ji Yun was whistling and walking in the corridor.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a "bang!", as if a gas tank had burst.

Before he could react, a large number of people rushed out from the bathroom.

All kinds of hand-twisted salutes slammed like hell, and Ji Yun was immediately covered with fireworks.

"Congratulations boss, the box office hit!"

When Ji Yun was at a loss what to do, he saw Qiao Shan and Wendong push a three-layer cake out of the bathroom.

On the top layer of the cake, draw 3.36 with buttercream.

Ji Yun was taken aback for a moment, and immediately felt a little warmth.

It's very warm, all these people deliberately squatted in the toilet for such a long time, just to give themselves a surprise.

The feeling of finally getting something after exhaustion and the heart-warming surprise of the employees made Ji Yun feel a ripple in his heart at this moment.

A group of people stopped cheering, put away their salutes, and looked at Ji Yun quietly, waiting for him to sigh.

"Uh..." Ji Yunhuan looked at those anxious eyes around him, touched his nose, "Is this cake smelling like a toilet?"

"no!"

The smile on Wen Dong's face collapsed in an instant, this grandson was too good at disappointing.

"First of all, I would like to thank all the behind-the-scenes staff of the piano crew. With your unremitting efforts, we can achieve this result."

Ji Yun felt a little sad in his heart. This movie only had a box office of 400 million in his previous life.

Now it has won a box office of nearly 3.4 million, which cannot but be called a miracle.

"Thanks to Wen Dong for finding the cooperation of the publicity party and the outsourcing team."

The two important reasons for the low box office of this movie in the previous life are publicity and posters.

There is no publicity at all, only 100 million funds, which is still a fraction of Far Cry.As for the money, Zhang Meng got it out of his teeth, and after it was released, it all depended on word of mouth.

But word of mouth is only fermented after the audience enters the movie theater.

The problem is that the posters used as facades are all done in a mess.

It's like the cover of a book, it's done without any special features.

It can't be said to be featureless, it can be said to be particularly ugly.

When it was released, the theater owner said bluntly: "No one will watch this movie even after 100 hits. Looking at the two bitter faces on the poster, there is no desire to watch the movie."

From this sentence, it can be seen that the boss has never seen this movie at all.

Even if the owner of a theater is not interested in watching it, can the audience still buy it?
Besides, there are really no actors in this movie who can carry the box office.

There are no gimmicks in the marketing, the actors are not big enough, the story is not fashionable enough, and the publicity expenses are not high enough, so it is difficult to stand out.

In addition, the opponents of PK in the same period are "Far Cry", "Legend of the White Snake" and "Painted Wall". In terms of quality, the three bundled together cannot keep up with this movie, but they have enough publicity.

With so much money poured into it, even the blockbuster Far Cry could take in 9000 million at the box office.

Wen Dong hired an outsourcing team to produce a series of layouts and posters. When it was released, it used multi-exposure renderings. The main picture was Ji Yunxue playing the piano in the middle of the night, and the outline was smoking and meditating. That shit yellow art style is much stronger.

"Thank you to all the employees for their overtime efforts during this period. I will not treat you badly if I succeed this time."

Ji Yun snorted, and the holy light shrouded him again, "All employees, the salary is doubled!"

"it is good!"

“The owner is amazing!”

"The best boss in the world."

Seeing the cheering and joyful appearance of this group of people, Ji Yun silently swallowed the words of 1.2 times in his stomach.

"Boss, blow out a candle."

"Why does this kind of cake have the troublesome part of blowing out the candles?"

Ji Yun expressed his dissatisfaction, but his expression was still very happy.

Seeing that he finished blowing out the candles, Qiao Shan reluctantly came to his side.

"Boss, brother, I'm sorry!"

"What are you going to do?"

Qiao Shanyao straightened his pole, and said forcefully: "Do justice for the sky!"

"Pfft!"

Qiao Shan pressed Ji Yun's face firmly into the cake.

"I'll deduct your salary!"
