Chapter 888

"Show me today's film arrangement table and yesterday's zero field data!" in a cinema in the United States, zachby, the boss who came to work in the morning, said to his employees, and soon the relevant data was sent to the boss.

"The zero field data of Pokemon is so poor!" seeing the zero field data of Pokemon, the boss frowned. He remembered that because it was a film released by 21st century fox, and the early publicity was very hot, it was known that there was an investment of $100 million, so the boss added a lot of film arrangement to the film.

The boss looked at the film schedule and found that his cinema had a total of 36 films to show today, of which 22 were the Pokemon.

"You go and adjust and reduce tomorrow's Pokemon arrangement to about 10 games!" zachby ordered. Then he sighed. Today's cinema tickets have been sold, so today's arrangement can't be changed. He can only stop loss tomorrow.

At the thought of this, zachby felt a burst of heartache, and his work all day became boring.

On the other hand, the high-level discussions between Megill and 21st Century Fox continue.

"I think this is a rare opportunity. This is the last opportunity for us to recover the cost!" Megill said eagerly to the senior management. "Since Daqian is willing to buy our investment, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can avoid losses of tens of millions of dollars!"

Faced with Meggie's persuasion, spike, President of 21st century fox, hesitated. Is it really appropriate to recover the investment at this time?

"Are you sure this movie will lose money? Pokemon is a very powerful IP. The game alone has sold 50 million copies now. If 10 million viewers can see the film, it will also be a box office of $100 million!" spike said.

"It must be on the street. You haven't seen the data of three elements of zero field. It's almost the same as the box office of those independent films!" Meggie said.

"But it's not that there was no turning over in history... Moreover, his audience should be teenagers..."

"President, there are films that can be turned over, but is this Pokemon a silent lamb or Shawshank's salvation? This is a fancy film for children. How can such a film have the same profound connotation as those two films, and finally rely on word-of-mouth to turn over!" megil said.

"It's true that the audience is teenagers, but teenagers won't come to the film without the company of their parents. Since ancient times, our country has no children's film with a box office of more than $100 million, which can't attract parents. Everything is empty talk. How can this film not earn more than $200 million at the box office, then we will lose money."

"Just in case..." spike is still a little uncertain. Now the Titanic, which cooperates with Daqian, will be released next year. After the live broadcast of boss Jia's shipwreck, "Titanic" absolutely does not have a miserable start in the previous life. According to Fox's calculation in the 21st century, "Titanic" Even those who can have a dream box office of $60 million at the beginning of the first weekend can have a high box office of at least $500 million in the future.

If the cooperation with Daqian is affected because of the Pokemon, he may also be done.

Just when spike was hesitant about this, the secretary just came in and sent a new report to spike. Because all cinemas need to decide all the films tomorrow before 12 noon, spike can already see all cinemas in the United States. In this way, fox originally invested 40% of the shares and income in Pokemon, All of them were bought back by boss Jia, who paid fox $30 million.

Of course, as the distributor of the film, fox still has to charge a lot of distribution fees from boss Jia.

Megil with the contract left contentedly, and it was about 4 p.m. at this time. Although the adults had gone to work, the children finished their studies for a week and began to leave school, go back to their homes and find their mothers.

No, there seems to be something wrong with today's script, that is, many children, especially middle school and high school students, do not go home after school or participate in collective activities with their friends, but gradually gather on all roads in the city and finally move towards a point.

"Attention, there are guests!" at the door of a cinema, an employee dozing off at the ticket office was woken up by his colleagues.

"It's really strange. It's only 4 p.m. who will come to see the film at this point!" the awakened employee muttered. For the film industry, 4 p.m. is a somewhat embarrassing time.

It's neither near noon nor afternoon, so there are few people watching movies. It's good to have more than a dozen people a day.

"Eh, it's still a group of children!" finally, the conductor found that it was a group of children who came to see the film, about a dozen or so, chatting with each other, all friends.

"Do you have Pokemon today, sir?" one of the tallest children asked, lying on the counter.

"Yes!" the conductor quickly looked at the film arrangement table and said, "the nearest one is at 4:20. The ticket price is $12. Do you want to buy a ticket?"

"12 dollars, so expensive!" exclaimed the tallest child. The price was obviously beyond his expectation.

"Yes, it's said that this is a full 3D animation, which cost US $100 million!" the conductor explained.

"OK..." the tall boy went back to discuss with his friends. It seemed that the ticket price was too high, resulting in their budget exceeding the standard. Finally, the children took out the steel collapse in their trouser pockets. Finally, they collected enough $144, bought 12 movie tickets and happily entered the cinema.

"It's really strange. This movie is about jumping on the street. They only have 10 rehearsals left? It's four o'clock in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, someone came to see it!" the colleagues nearby said in surprise.

"After all, it's a children's film! It's not uncommon that many children will come to see it. This point happens to be their time after school, but I don't think there will be too many..." before the conductor finished his words, his eyelids jumped, because more than a dozen children appeared in his sight and ran towards the cinema.

"Sir, I want to buy a ticket!"

…………

It only took 15 minutes. At 4:20, a total of 160 movie tickets were sold out. When the children who bought the tickets went to the cinema happily, the children who were a little late could only buy the movie tickets at 4:50 in frustration, and then wait in the cinema for 30 minutes.

It's too painful for lively children to stand it.
