Chapter 198 Actively come to the door [5/27]
8.66 million, although it is not much higher than the premiere on weekdays, this is the result obtained under the two blockbusters "Lord of the Rings 3" and the newly released "Mona Lisa's Smile".
With the accounting of 8.66 million, the accumulated box office reached 23.16 million.
Although this data is not as good as the box office of "Lord of the Rings 3" in one day, for Eric Lomis, it has ensured that MGM can recover its costs.
The film is only three days, and this weekend has two days to increase the box office this weekend.
Based on the double failure of box office and reputation of "Mona Lisa's Smile", it is very likely that it will win 15 million in two days under the strength of "Lord of the Rings 3".
There was a high probability that he would hit a box office of 38 million in the first week, and such a result completely exceeded Eric Lomis' personal expectations, even Chen Tian's previous films had extremely outstanding results.
But the opponents I face this time are not comparable to those of the previous opponents. It is unimaginable to get such a box office in this situation.
Next Thursday is Christmas, which means there is a good buffer period for the first three days of next week. Although there is no big expectation for the box office, it is still OK to expect a box office of 1.5 million a day.
Even if the new film is released next Friday, Eric Lomis thinks that an average of 1 million per day will definitely be available in the next month.
After nearly a month and a half, "The Little Sunshine Beauty" can accumulate nearly 70 million box offices, and will be released for two to three months in a long period of time, plus the operation of Harvey Weinstein.
The screening time of "The Little Sunshine Beauty" should not be less than four months, and the number of theaters and schedules will naturally not be good in the next month.
With such a long-term screening, the box office of tens of thousands or tens of thousands every day, maybe "The Little Sunshine Beauty" may have a box office of over 100 million yuan.
Thinking about the final box office, Eric Lomis feels magical, but it doesn’t seem magical to contact Chen Tian’s previous video.
After all, this video seems to be more box office value than the previous ones. Looking at the data on the computer and his own analysis, Eric Lomis felt relieved.
Chen Tian is still typing on the keyboard in front of the computer. Now the production model of American dramas and the Hollywood film production model have formed a standard assembly line.
A main design plot is proposed, and then the outline is written by the outline author and the dialogue author writes the lines. Finally, the chief screenwriter gathers all the contents into a script.
Then it is handed over to the producer and director for preliminary preparations and the shooting and playback, and thus a standard shooting and broadcasting mode is formed.
Read the script on Monday, modify the script on Tuesday, rehearsal on Wednesday, modify it on Thursday, record on Friday, editing on Saturday. It will be broadcast sometime next week.
After a TV series is broadcast, the broadcasting station will decide whether to renew the subscription.
If the subscription is renewed, the second and even the third season will continue to be filmed. If the ratings are bad, then the only thing that will be waiting for is the fate of being cut.
When it is slightly different from a movie, there is only one core of the TV series, which is the screenwriter, and the script is the first.
However, compared with movie screenwriters, TV series is much more troublesome.
Because they have to keep following current events and feedback from audiences, and then adjust the plot of the next episode at any time.
Because only in this way can the audience treat the people in the play as their friends or even their family members, so as to achieve the goal of fixing the audience in front of the screen and not wanting to leave.
Moreover, under the basic screenwriter model, there will be a more detailed division of labor, such as who is responsible for the plot of "gaochao", who is responsible for the story clues, etc. Now Chen Tian is completely alone.
Even if there is a reference object in my mind, Chen Tian still needs to modify a lot of things based on the current time. After all, "Aikali" was just aired in 2007, and now it is in 2003.
If it weren't for solving Emma Roberts's problem, Chen Tianzhen wouldn't be willing to worry about the TV script that was more complicated and troublesome than the movie script.
Chen Tian, who had been struggling for a whole day, finally achieved success and wrote half of the script for the first season.
The next day, Mark Zuckerberg called Chen Tian and Facebook's team building was very fast.
However, he did not want to stay in Boston for a long time, and he was interested in moving the newly built but not large-scale company to Silicon Valley as a whole.
Chen Tian did not refuse Mark Zuckerberg's idea. After all, Los Angeles is the source of information.
It can be more convenient for Facebook to grow, and now the number of registered users of Facebook has exceeded 40 million.
But today's Facebook does not have a source of charge and has not yet embedded ads.
Although some companies were willing to cooperate with Facebook early on, Chen Tian temporarily rejected this idea.
What Chen Tian thought was to do all the services first. Only when they were done well can they retain users.
Once the ad is embedded unreasonably, it is easy to cause users to be disgusted and eventually lose them.
In the absence of profits, Mark Zuckerberg's four-person team simply has little funding.
Chen Tian just got a share of about five million in "Super Burger King", and this five million can't last long.
Especially Facebook has developed faster than later generations, and relying solely on Chen Tian’s own support will obviously not be able to hold on soon.
During this period, several venture capital companies have been willing to invest, while Google, Apple, and Microsoft have proposed investment ideas when they have no hope of acquiring.
But they were all rejected by Chen Tian. In the end, Chen Tian chose to let the Ellison brother and sister participate.
David Ellison never expected that Chen Tian would share Facebook, which is now being watched by countless investment companies and giants.
David Ellison agreed to Chen Tian’s suggestion of inviting funds to inject funds almost without thinking.
In the end, David Ellison, with the help of his father, participated in the investment in the name of Oracle Group, and will inject $50 million into Facebook.
David Ellison received 15% of Facebook's shares, which continued to dilute the shares of the original members.
Chen Tian's 37% stake dropped to 33%, Mark Zuckerberg dropped to 30%, and the other three each took out their corresponding shares. In the end, David Ellison got 15% of the shares and became Facebook's third largest shareholder.
Mark Zuckerberg and others will all resign from Harvard, and Chen Tian and David Ellison will pay a total of 5 million yuan in salary for the four of them each year.
Among them, Mark Zuckerberg reached a maximum of 250, and David Ellison took Oracle's professional legal business negotiation team.
A new contract was drafted for Facebook's equity, etc., which stipulates a lot of details such as how to dilute equity in future investment and development.
Chen Tian is a completely participant, and he doesn't know much about these things. He only knows that he will invest 30 million in Facebook in the next year for development.
David Ellison will also invest another 30 million yuan in the next year, which will be used to rent office buildings in Los Angeles Silicon Valley and recruit company personnel to pay wages.
"Thank God, I'm finally done!" Chen Tian, who returned to Chinatown, sat directly on the sofa.
Scarlett flew back to New York these two days. She wanted to go home for a few days, and then fly back on Christmas.
Chen Tian also returned to Chinatown to live directly. With Chen Tian missing at home, Grandma Wang's life seemed much monotonous. This made Chen Tian very reluctant to let him go.
Fortunately, this guy, Eda, grew older and more cute, and his existence reduced Grandma Wang's loneliness a lot.
Tomorrow will be Christmas Eve. Although it is Chinatown, the atmosphere of Christmas can be seen everywhere.
In the past two days, Chen Tian not only had to participate in the re-draft of Facebook's contracts, but also went to Silicon Valley to see the office buildings rented by Facebook. The rent for a whole floor alone reached 10 million US dollars in a year.
In order to ensure Facebook's operation, the server must continue to be expanded. Although Chen Tian himself does not understand a lot of things, he is always dragged to participate in it.
The script for the first season of "Ecarlie" was half written in one day, and the remaining half was completed in the past four days.
Chen Tian, who was busy and anxious, even had no time to find Chen Shijun, nor did he pay attention to the box office of "The Little Sunshine Beauty". His villa has not yet made any arrangements for the arrival of Christmas.
Chen Tian felt extremely fulfilled while eating the dishes made by Grandma Wang.
Julia Roberts' home in Beverly Hills, Julia Roberts and her husband Danny Maud, Emma Roberts, were having supper at the moment.
The doorbell rang, and Danny Maud put down the steak in his hand: "Who will come so late?"
"Who knows, go and see, maybe some friend." Julia Roberts took a bite of mashed potatoes, and Emma Roberts, who was sitting beside him, ate his own macaroni.
"Are you Justin Chen?" Danny Maud looked at Chen Tian in front of him with a familiar face.
He was a cinematographer and met Julia Roberts on the crew of "Dangerous" and he still had a family at that time.
For Julia Roberts, he quickly divorced. He then got together with Julia Roberts and entered the marriage hall at the end of last year.
"Yes, I'm Justin Chen, sorry for disturbing me so late. I have a script in my hand and promise Emma that I'm done now and I want her to see it.
So I came here so late. I hope I didn’t disturb you.”
Although Danny Mod is not very familiar with Chen Tianren, he knows that Chen Tian is now a new generation of directors. More importantly, he had a ridiculous scandal with his wife Julia Roberts half a year ago.
It’s just that the time has been too long, and the scandal is indeed fake. That’s why he forgot about Chen Tian for a while.
"Please come in, Emma is at home, welcome to you!" Danny Mod likes Emma Roberts very much likes him, just like Julia Roberts.
When he heard that Chen Tian had actually created a script for Emma Roberts, he immediately became enthusiastic.
PS: This chapter, the third update yesterday... About this TV series script or something, something new will soon appear at the home of a big mouth beauty.
Don’t go into the details of the shares in the chapter. Xiao Ai spent an hour studying it and was still confused. The main line is the movie anyway, so don’t care too much about my layman.
If I come here so late, I won’t say anything. At least Xiao Ai did not default on the debt and continued to pay the debt, which means I am still a good person, hehe.
In addition, today Xiao Ai said a single chapter before going to bed in the morning and updated the guaranteed two chapters.
Chapter completed!
