365: VAM agreement

At noon the next day, the box office results of the first day of the film came out. On the first day, "Infernal Affairs" scored 560 million box office results, and the theater attendance rate reached 83%.

This data is not simple. After analysis by the media, this result broke the first-day box office record held by "Fire Building", created a new first-day box office record, and increased by 80.

This record caused a sensation, the media reported one after another, and praised the film.

Experts have gone online one after another to calculate the total box office results of this movie, and believe that this movie may exceed [-] million. If the movie's box office exceeds [-] million, it will create a new record.

Film critics also stood up and said that the acting skills of the leading actors were superb, and Roca's performance was refreshing, and his performance deserved an actor trophy.

"Haha, Roca, we succeeded!"

In the office of Toucaniao Films, Director Jose shouted happily.

Roca shook his head, "It's too early to call it a success. When the second week's box office results come out, if it can break through 4000 million box office, it can barely be called a success."

"4000 million? This should be possible. We made 560 million on the first day, at least 2500 million at the box office in the first week, and another 2000 million in the second week. It's not too difficult."

Jose said optimistically.

"hope everything is fine"

The data of the film is very good, the distribution company has increased its publicity efforts, and the main creative personnel of the film crew have traveled all over the country, hoping that the audience can enter the cinema to support it.

It just didn't work out very well.

After a small climax on the first day, the box office data dropped every day.

On the fourth day, a case of high-level corruption in the police department suddenly broke out in the newspapers. Some newspapers linked the case to the movie and began to criticize the police department, saying that the movie is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. It is said that the movie is a satire of reality, and the box office continues to drop.

A week has passed, and the box office has just exceeded 2300 million, which is a lot less than the 2800 million expected in the newspaper.

In the second week, the box office continued to collapse, only earning 1550 million.

The box office performance in the first two weeks was worse than expected, and some critical voices appeared in the newspapers, and they began to analyze the reasons why the movie's box office was worse than expected.

"Rio Film Review" stated that this film is a remake of Xiangjiang Film, and many of the plots are not suitable for the taste of Brazilian audiences.

"Brazilian Express" said that the biggest highlight of this movie is the leading actors, but the storyline can only be regarded as second-rate. Watching a movie is not as good as watching a ball game.

The word of mouth of the film declined, and the publicity company rushed to public relations, continued to tout it, and started a war of words with film critics.

In the third week, the income was 1220 million.

The three-week income is 5070 million. Experts estimate that the total box office of this movie is about 7000 million, which is far from the estimated 1 million.

Some media broke the news that the total investment of this film reached 2000 million. Compared with last year's "Salvation", which invested 650 million and won a total box office of 6050 million, the data can only be said to be average.

"Hey, why is it only 7000 million?"

In the coffee shop, Director Jose sighed again.

"Stop pretending, 7000 million is also this year's box office champion, better than 99% of the movies in the industry, are you really planning to get 1 million at the box office?"

Rocca smiled lightly.

"Of course, we have the best script, the best actors, and the best movie, and the distribution company is also very helpful. One hundred million is not impossible."

Director Jose said.

"Then go ahead, I hope you can make history and become the first Brazilian director whose local box office breaks [-] million."

"Thank you! I will definitely be"

Jose said seriously.

After a while, Director Babenc came with the completed film of "The Man From Earth".

The three walked into the screening hall together and watched the movie.

"Very wonderful!"

After the movie finished, Roca clapped his palms, "Director Babunque, congratulations on completing another classic."

"It's Your Movie Too"

Director Babanke laughed while smoking a cigar.

Roca smiled slightly, looked at Jose, "What do you think, director?"

"emmm~ this movie...is fun but kinda boring"

Jose spread his hands.

"boring?"

"Yes, an hour and a half, just talking in a room, talking about philosophy, religion, history, no plot ups and downs, no hot spots, just some interesting-sounding but mysterious stories.

People who like this kind of movie will find it wonderful and consider it a classic, while those who don’t like it will find it boring, and if you are a child, you will definitely not watch it.”

"Well, you should not be the audience for this movie"

Roca smiled, and also felt that what Jose said made sense.

The original version of this movie has a very slow pace, and an old man director Babenke was replaced.

The pace of his filming was a bit slower, but the quality of the film's picture, layout, lines, performance, etc. was better than that of the original version.

He has invested 40 US dollars in this movie, which is 20 times more than the original version. I don't know if it can still make money like the original version.

"Director Babanke, do you have any suggestions for the release of the film?"

Rocca asked.

Director Babanke was smoking a cigar, "This kind of film is only liked by a certain group of people, and it is not suitable for public release. I suggest small-scale screenings, and then find a video tape distribution company to cooperate and find the video tape."

"this is a good idea"

This movie has never entered the cinema, and the 3.5 million sales are all from the sales of video tapes, which have been sold all over the world.

On February 2, "The Man Who Came From Earth" was released quietly. There was no publicity, no reports, and no premiere ceremony. Compared with the grand scale of "Infernal Affairs", it was far behind.
