Chapter 273: Inviting Qianyi

On the first day of work, everyone at Paradise Movies was busy. In fact, during the holiday, many of them were paying attention to the movie. If necessary, they would coordinate and cooperate with the crew as much as possible. Today is the movie screening

The day is also the first test to test everyone's hard work over the past few months, and the results this time will not only affect whether the company can successfully enter the film industry, but also affect the group's confidence in the company's development.

After a simple meeting, they all said that during the holidays, they had recommended the movie to their friends as much as possible and promoted the movie through their own websites, Weibo, etc. Although the effect was limited, it was also everyone's enthusiasm.

Li Yan also asked everyone not to do anything else today, but to go to Qiao Pan to see if there is anything they need help with in terms of publicity preparations, so as to prepare everything for tonight's screening.

Because their publicity funds are limited, even though the movie itself has multiple stars, it did not summon stars from all walks of life to meet with the media in one city for publicity like a blockbuster movie. Even apart from the opening ceremony, tonight's screening in the city

, is the only time that all the main creators are called together. Therefore, tonight’s screening and media meeting cannot be missed.

After the meeting, Li Yan called Jiang Xueyin to the office and asked her to get more than ten tickets for the screening. In fact, it was said to be a late screening venue, but copies of the movie had been sent to major cities across the country, and many places were already grabbing them during the day.

It was released. As long as the schedule is not seriously disrupted, most film companies will not pursue it. Even if it is disrupted, it will be nothing. They can say that they order the screening in advance to understand the market effect and determine the film schedule. It can also

Can't you offend them?

As for the tickets for the screening, it was something attractive like meeting a star. Originally, he could ask Qiao Pan for it. He was responsible for contacting the theater operator. It would be easier to reserve the tickets and get them, but thinking that he was already busy enough,

Li Yan didn't want to cause trouble to him for personal reasons.

After arranging everything, Li Yan himself was not in a hurry to help. As the representative of the largest investor, he was also considered an important figure and should appear at the critical moment in the evening. He couldn't run errands for the theater or celebrities.

However, he is also very concerned about the situation of the movie. This is the first work that he has spent a lot of time and energy on besides killing people. He also wants to see good results.

Nowadays, all major theater chains in first-tier cities can book tickets and select seats online. The ticketing data of theaters is also updated in time with the Internet. Therefore, the ticket sales data of some theaters can also be found on the ticket network. For film schedules,

Attendance rate and other data that have reference significance for the box office can be understood in front of the computer.

Movie schedules have a span, which means that they are either released during the Spring Festival or during the Spring Festival. For example, the Lunar New Year schedule, which has the largest capacity in a year, basically starts from the beginning of December, and ends on the weekend of late December, when the Christmas Festival

The highest peak, the New Year's Day holiday is the last peak. After that, it begins to enter a period of calm. If there are no movies with strong stamina, the box office capacity will drop significantly. Wait until about two weeks before the Spring Festival, when schools are on winter vacation, and the Spring Festival will begin.

The show has begun and will end within a week after the new year.

Because watching movies in China is fashionable and leisurely, and it is also a high-end consumption for the public. Therefore, the schedules are cultivated, just like in the West. The Lunar New Year slots from Christmas to New Year will be strong slots, and they are also a place for blockbusters to compete.

, only the summer schedules with a longer span can compare. As for the Spring Festival, due to factors such as the large population movement during the Spring Festival and the need to visit relatives and friends during the New Year, the movie schedule capacity is larger than that of the Lunar New Year schedule.

In the morning, Li Yan watched the film schedules of multiple theaters in different cities, which were very ideal. Not only was the number of new releases in the past few days number one, but it was also the number one among all films. Because the Spring Festival schedule is mainly

The movies have basically been released for more than two weeks, and their main appeal has been almost released. Although school has not yet started, most adults have started to go to work, entering the post-Spring Festival slowdown period. At this time, "Happy Together"

Because "Leak" has so many stars, most people don't think it's a small or medium-budget movie. If it's short and top-notch, there will naturally be more opportunities.

However, judging from the pre-sale situation, it is not very ideal, with only about 20% attendance. Although during the day at this time, the effect is almost the same, but for investors who are looking forward to a box office explosion, they are not very optimistic

Already.

Li Yan still didn't know as much as Qiao Pan about this aspect, so he made a phone call and asked him what kind of trend this was.

After listening to Li Yan's words, Qiao Pan was not too worried and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will only officially screen it tonight. Although many theaters have already started showing it during the day, the focus is still on watching it during prime time at night. Still.

Yes, this is the off-season when people have just snatched up all the cake. We are not high, and others are lower. We don’t expect to be a hit these days. As long as the attendance rate is higher than that of other films, we can guarantee that our film schedule will not decrease.

Come down. After getting through this week, next week’s Valentine’s Day will be the focus of our harvest.

Don’t seek the best, just be better than others!

This attitude is somewhat unprogressive and undemanding, but I have to admit that this is the reality! You don’t need to break records every time in the Olympics, as long as you do better than the athletes competing at the same time, you can win the gold medal. Movies need to win awards.

It doesn’t have to be amazing, it just needs to be better than other films that were shortlisted at the same time. Movie theaters are also very realistic. As long as your film sells better than other films, they will arrange more screenings for you, and vice versa.

, reduce immediately”

"Okay, as long as you have confidence. Compared with you, I am a layman."

"Mr. Li, it depends on what you said! You are the boss, just let us work part-time." Qiao Pan said with a busy smile: "By the way, you are a distinguished guest tonight, can you come if you have time?"

Qiao Pan is very grateful to Li Yan. In addition to investing in the film he planned, more importantly, he realized that he was a layman and did what a layman did. Directors and producers like this kind of investment.

Fang, if you don’t understand, you will have to dictate and interfere in everything. If an outsider directs an expert, the result will be a mess, which is totally different! This time Li Yan didn’t even interfere in the selection of actors, giving him a lot of freedom.

"I have to come even if I don't have time. This is our first step."

"Waiting for you! I'll leave you the best seat!" Qiao Pan was still quite excited. He really worked hard for this movie. He was named a producer and supervisor, but what he did was

It is a lot of work. But this is a work that he is looking forward to turning around. In fact, he is under greater pressure than Li Yan!

In the afternoon, Li Yan saw that the attendance rate of the ticket network had risen to more than 30%. Although it was not outstanding, it was far behind other films. The actual box office may not be a blowout, but the market share in a single day

But it can be guaranteed that the film schedule for tomorrow will not be reduced.

Jiang Xueyin brought the movie tickets, and Li Yan asked her to send a few to the CEO's office to Zhang Yurong.

Zhang Yurong said this morning that she would not go to the screening. It would be too conspicuous to go with him, and it would be too conspicuous to go as the president of the company. Now that she has just gone to work, she still has a lot of things to be busy with. She said that she would wait for a few days to rest.

It would have been better to go see it in private. Anyway, she had no impression of celebrities or anything like that. But she also asked for a few tickets from the assistants and clerks working for the president.

In addition, no one from the other senior executives at the headquarters asked Li Yan for tickets. They might think it was a bit embarrassing to go to a movie to see celebrities, unless there were children at home who asked. Other friends met at work and called over to ask.

Li Yan asked for tickets, but he excused himself and asked them to buy tickets themselves. Sun Hui was still hospitalized and asked for leave but did not return to work.

Li Yan reserved the ticket for himself, and wanted to invite someone, Wen Qianyi. He and Wen Qianyi were partners in the past, and everyone knew that they had a good relationship, so inviting her would not cause any discussion.

He went directly to the business department, a place he was once familiar with, but has not been here for some time now.

Seeing him coming, some women from the business department greeted him. They also heard that the first movie produced by Paradise Films was released today and asked him for movie tickets for the screening. Li Yan said directly, I have to buy the tickets myself.

Everyone is welcome to buy tickets and support!

These people had a normal relationship with him before, and many of them looked at him with cold eyes, a useless idler. Of course, they did not expect him to invite them, but they also understood that his purpose was to invite Wen Qianyi. However, when Wen Qianyi was acting director

Suffering jealousy, after Ye Jiahong left and she officially became the business director, other people's jealousy turned into friendship.

"What's the matter?" Wen Qianyi was meditating in front of the computer. Suddenly someone opened the door and came in without knocking, which made her a little unhappy. She, who always greeted people with a smile, also frowned slightly.

After Li Yan came in, he closed the door and walked directly to her side with a smile. "It's nothing, I just miss you." Wen Qianyi saw him coming and was wary that he would do something. "Manager Li, your movie will be released today, you

If you don’t have to be busy with business, do you still have time to wander around?”

Li Yan wanted to go over and make out with her, but seeing her guarded look and thinking that this was an office, he didn't move. He sat back across from his desk and said, "I came here specifically to invite you to the screening.

"

"No time." Wen Qianyi refused directly.

"I don't care if you are free or not. You have two options. One is that I will give you the tickets to go see it, and the other is that you come with me in the name of my female companion." After Li Yan finished speaking, he leaned forward with his arms on her desk.

"I won't leave if you don't agree."

Wen Qianyi frowned and sneered: "You threaten me? Do you think I dare not ask the security guard to throw you out?"

Li Yan did not answer her words, and said to himself: "This office is much larger than your small office before, but it seems too space. It was better then, it is just right for the two of us to be in the same room.

You talk, I do it, you open your mouth, I run errands, men and women work together and it’s not tiring. Alas, now you have a bigger office and I have my own office, but it’s not as comfortable as before.”

Hearing his emotion, Wen Qianyi's media slowly relaxed. The defensive posture that appeared in front of him was undoubtedly a small thing she deliberately made because after the holiday, the two finally broke through and had that level of relationship. This is

She didn't know how to do it right again.

It can't be said that Li Yan pushed her hard at that time. In the end, it was half pushed, but it was not the kind of natural and natural combination. It can only be regarded as too hasty.

Fortunately, the following holiday was coming, and everyone did not have to face each other directly immediately, which gave her a little more space and time to accept and consider. Even so, she spent the whole holiday with many worries, but she was not at all concerned about Li Yan's phone call.

She didn't answer the call, but she didn't reply to the text message. It was when he came back that he said he wanted to find her. I was afraid that he would be kept waiting outside for a long time, so I answered the phone and told him that he hadn't come back.

He called again yesterday, and she just had an excuse to go to the company for a meeting. But she didn't expect that on the first day of work, he came to the office and blocked her.

His attitude just now, especially when he asked her to choose one of the two, made Wen Qianyi feel unhappy. She thought that Li Yan was her brother and she was asking for a bed. As long as he got her, he could control her.

She! She is no more demanding and disgusting than ".

But now his emotion reminds her of the days when the two of them did things together. At the time, she didn't think it was anything special, but now that she thinks about it, it's really precious.

However, she only recalled a little bit, sighed, and soon regained her strong rationality and calmness. In Wen Qianyi's view, people are always changing, not to mention changes in the work environment, which are her own

Her personality has changed a lot from before! And a year ago, she was still in another company.

"To sigh, go back to your territory. I'm not welcome here, so don't disturb me when I'm doing my work!" Wen Qianyi rudely issued an eviction order. She felt that today was the first time she had faced it. If he succeeded, it would be even harder to refuse in the future.

He had other requests.

Li Yan was not surprised at all by what she said. The two had such a relationship. If she could still laugh and smile as before, it meant that she didn't care at all. The more abnormal and severe she was, the more it meant that

importance in her mind.

"I'm not interrupting your work, as long as you agree! Just listen to me first. I'm not threatening you unreasonably, but you must go."

"Why do I have to go? I bet you have enough power to order me?" Wen Qianyi sneered, seeming to be disdainful of his words. No matter from that aspect, Li Yan, the manager, does not have the power of her, the powerful director.

big.

Li Yan smiled and shook his head: "Have you forgotten? In the beginning, you led me to work on the film project, including getting to know Qiao Pan, including selecting a group of planning projects. It was all led by you. Later, because you felt that the results were too slow, so

I gave it up. But including the project we are working on now, "Happy Together", you evaluated it relatively highly at the beginning and thought it had investment value. So, on the surface, I invested in this movie, but I did take your opinions into consideration.

, you can be said to be the hero behind the scenes!"

Wen Qianyi was a little surprised. She was busy with so many things. She didn't remember so much about the planning projects and reviews she had seen a long time ago. After being reminded by him, she remembered that this was indeed the case. She didn't expect that he still remembered her.

Hard work, most people are good at picking fruits, eager to take all the credit on their own head, how can they remember the contributions of others.
