Chapter 1279: The Box Office Is Not as Interesting as Spicy Cabbage (33)
Xie Ou sent a message to inform Zhang Tan of the box office of the movie "I am Zhan Er".
Today is the fourth day of the Chinese New Year. "I am Zhan Er" has been released for three days. Xie Ou will send him the box office information of the day every day.
Nowadays, the producers and all the crew members of "I am Zhan Er" are in an extremely excited state, because although the movie has only been released for three days, it has created a huge reputation and traffic, and the box office is naturally rising, which is beyond everyone's expectations.
Even Xie Ou did not expect that the movie would be so popular.
If you ask Zhang Tan if he has thought of it, he certainly has not thought of it.
He is just sure that the movie should not flop, at least it can recover the cost. If he can make a small profit, he will be satisfied.
After all, "I am Zhan Er" can be classified as an art film. At this point in the Spring Festival, such art films have never had a big box office.
Popcorn movies and comedy movies are obviously more popular, and those blockbusters often gather in such important holidays to harvest box office crazily.
Low-budget movies like "I am Zhan Er" are just small roles. Maybe they have good reputation and good box office in a small specific group, but it is very difficult to become the box office champion.
Now "I am Zhan Er" has broken this limitation.
The movie was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The box office on that day was 250 million yuan, and the proportion of the screening was 10%. The box office on that day ranked fifth among the released movies.
This ranking and box office exceeded many people's expectations.
However, this is just the beginning. On the second day, the theater company increased the proportion of "I am Zhan Er" to 20%, and the box office on that day continued to rise, reaching 310 million yuan, squeezing into the top three box office, which greatly encouraged a group of followers.
Zhang Tan and Kuxun Video took the opportunity to lobby the film company to continue to increase the proportion of screenings, so on the third day, the proportion of "I am Zhan Er" was increased to 26.5%, the second highest among all released movies, and after the box office on that day came out, it did not disappoint everyone's expectations and greatly exceeded expectations.
Zhang Tan looked at the message Xie Ou had just sent on his phone. He couldn't believe it. The box office on the third day actually jumped again on the basis of 310 million yuan on the second day, reaching 450 million yuan! Ranked second in the box office rankings.
Zhang Tan looked at the message again and again, that's right! It was 450 million yuan, ranking second in the box office! I can't imagine that such a tear-jerking movie was so popular during the Spring Festival family reunion, surpassing a number of big-budget productions.
At this time, the phone rang. It was Xie Ou calling.
Xie Ou's voice on the phone could not hide her excitement. She told Zhang Tan that the theater company decided to further increase the proportion of "I am Zhan Er" to 35%.
Xie Ou said: "Today's box office is likely to rise to the first place."
The box office of the first-place movie reached 680 million yuan yesterday! Much higher than "I am Zhan Er".
Unless the other party's box office drops further today, and "I am Zhan Er" further jumps up, it is possible to surpass the other party.
Xie Ou's confidence is not unreasonable, because the box office trends of the two movies are completely different.
"I am Zhan Er" continues to charge hard, while the other party shows a downward trend. Although the box office is still high, the reputation is polarized.
This is a typical popcorn movie, a big-budget, big-production series tailored for the Spring Festival. The box office of the previous one reached an astonishing 3.4 billion yuan, which can be ranked among the global movies.
Zhang Tan remained calm and did not show the excitement of Xie Ou.
He chatted with Xie Ou for a while, explained some things, and then hung up the phone.
On the other side, Xie Ou looked at the phone and said to himself: "You are really patient. You are young and your future is limitless."

Teacher Jiang is good at paper cutting and embroidery, and her cooking skills are also very good. During the Spring Festival, Zhang Tan has gained weight. The food is too good and the life is too comfortable. It is hard not to gain weight.
Although the two children were not caught on the scale, it can be seen that they have gained a lot of weight, especially Tan Xier, whose face is obviously rounder. After all, she is a tough character who eats three bowls of rice in one meal. It is impossible for her to eat without gaining weight.
Teacher Jiang changes the way she cooks delicious food, one day at a time. On this day, she made a spicy cabbage. Not only Zhang Tan likes it, Xiaobai likes it very much. Even Xier, who cried because of the spicy rabbit head the day before, was obsessed with it. She ate three bowls of rice in one breath and got off the table with her belly.
Seeing that everyone liked it so much, Teacher Jiang decided to make more spicy cabbage for Zhang Tan and others to take back to Pujiang.
When Tan Jiner heard it, she followed Teacher Jiang to learn how to make spicy cabbage.
The two of them carried bamboo baskets and went out to pick cabbage in the vegetable field.
Xiaobai and Xier followed behind, and the little puppy Bai Zhenzhu also jumped and followed.
They picked two baskets of fresh cabbage in the vegetable field not far from the door.
After bringing the cabbage home, wash it clean, split it in the middle with a knife, and then prepare a bag of edible salt, apply it evenly on each cabbage leaf, then put the cabbage in a basin and press it with a stone mill.
After pickling for three hours, take them out one by one and squeeze out the water forced out by the salt. This way, the pickled spicy cabbage will be crisp and refreshing.
Zhang Tan watched from the side, and saw Tan Jiner brought a basin, poured glutinous rice flour into it, and added warm water.
"Is it enough?" Tan Jiner asked.
"Add some more, add more, add more, okay, just stir it evenly with chopsticks, stir it into a paste." Teacher Jiang said.
Tan Jiner stirred the glutinous rice flour with chopsticks. Xiaobai and Xier also wanted to join in the fun, but she drove them away. She knew that these two children did not want to help, but wanted to play.
The glutinous rice flour mixed with warm water soon became a thick paste. Teacher Jiang also prepared a side of chili powder, thirteen spices and other seasonings, poured them all into the paste, and stirred it evenly again.
Then, wash a few apples, cut the apples into pieces, and introduce them into the flour paste, and then add minced garlic, minced ginger, shredded white radish and chives.
"These are the sauces for spicy cabbage," said Teacher Jiang. "Now spread the sauce evenly on the cabbage leaves, like this."
Teacher Jiang taught Tan Jiner how to spread the sauce evenly on the cabbage leaves, and then stuffed the cabbage into a jar, sealed it, and marinated it for three days before use.
Zhang Tan took a video of the whole process and sent it back to Tan Jiner, so that she could learn to make it herself when she returned to Pujiang in the future.
During the few days that Tan Jiner was in Baijia Village, she learned how to make many dishes from Teacher Jiang, and her cooking skills improved greatly.
With such a sister who loves to study cooking, little friend Tan Xier will have a good time in the future. It will be difficult not to eat three bowls of rice, and it may be upgraded to four bowls of rice soon. She, who is thin and weak, will also become a female warrior.
I owed a chapter on the 28th, and I will make up for it in this chapter.
