Chapter 412: Explosive Reputation: Nezha’s Terrifying Box Office
"Just finished watching Nezha. It's definitely a must-see animation. I originally wanted to watch it with my kids, but I ended up being so engrossed in it. I laughed so hard at the funny parts, and I couldn't help but cry when I was moved. My fate is in my own hands. In short, it was so enjoyable..."
"I just finished watching Nezha and it was hilarious. I highly recommend it..."
"I have to recommend it. Nezha is so good. It's even better than The Monkey King: Hero is Back. The Monkey King: Hero is about self-redemption, while Nezha is about self-struggle. My destiny is in my own hands. It's so exciting..."
"The special effects are amazing, and the plot is even more amazing. Oh, I'm so happy. It completely subverts my previous understanding. And there's even dialect. It's so down-to-earth. Su Yang is so awesome..."
"Five stars, five stars, it must be five stars..."
After the first screening of Nezha, word of mouth immediately exploded online, with countless viewers who had watched it unable to resist promoting the film spontaneously.
It's so good. I originally wanted to watch it with my children. But I didn't expect that I would enjoy watching it myself, and my children also enjoyed watching it and laughed a lot.
Each character is so distinct that you can remember them all clearly after watching it. The funny moments make you laugh until your stomach hurts, and the heartwarming moments make you cry.
The picture quality is not inferior to Hollywood's top animated blockbusters, the 3D special effects are also very awesome, and the details are portrayed very well. "Nezha" spent so much money, it really didn't go in vain.
Awesome, there is only one word to describe Nezha. Such a good reputation has aroused the curiosity of more netizens, but everyone found that it is really hard to get tickets for Nezha now.
Today is New Year's Eve, and all the tickets for today have already been sold out. Not only today, but also the tickets for New Year's Day have been sold out.
Seeing this situation, some cinemas even urgently launched midnight screenings. However, they found that even these midnight shows had a very high attendance rate, which made major cinemas extremely excited. This is all money, and for many audiences, especially migrant workers who finally returned home for the Spring Festival to reunite with their children, it is a big deal.
They wanted to spend some quality time with their children during the Spring Festival, and since Nezha has such a good reputation and has been so hyped, they naturally wanted to take their children to see it and see what the movie is like.
The popularity of Nezha has almost swept the entire internet. Self-media outlets have also joined in the fun, and the publicity department of Qingyao Media has also taken action, taking advantage of the momentum to conduct word-of-mouth marketing.
As a result, the box office of "Nezha" is growing rapidly, and this growth rate has made people in the industry breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at this growth rate, it is really too fast.
Just after 11 a.m., "Nezha" officially broke the 100 million yuan box office record, and the official Weibo account of "Nezha" released a celebratory poster for the box office exceeding 100 million yuan.
However, this poster was only on the official Weibo account for a few hours. At around 3:00 PM, the box office officially exceeded 200 million yuan, a record-breaking success that made everyone gasp in surprise.
And this is just the beginning,
At around 6 pm, the box office exceeded 300 million!
At nine o'clock in the evening, the box office exceeded 400 million yuan. When the Spring Festival bell rang at midnight, Nezha's first-day box office was fixed at 503 million yuan. This result made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The first-day box office exceeded 500 million yuan. This achievement is incredible. This first-day box office result broke the first-day box office record for animated films in China. Even if all types of films are included, this result currently ranks fourth in the first-day box office record.
The terrifying results made "Nezha" the center of attention today. Even though tonight's Spring Festival Gala was very popular, "Nezha" still stole a lot of the limelight.
Word of mouth. Now the word of mouth of "Nezha" has spread throughout the entire network.
Seeing such box office success and attendance, major cinemas took immediate action. The most obvious change was an increase in the screening rate of Nezha and a reduction in the screening rate of some other films.
With Nezha's attendance so high, theater chains prioritize showing films with high box office and attendance. Clearly, Nezha fits this bill perfectly.
3D blockbusters, with their impressive special effects, are also incredibly popular. Most importantly, ticket prices are high, too. Many regular 3D theaters cost 50 yuan. Giant screen theaters are even more expensive, sometimes costing 100 or 200 yuan. In short, these theater chains are capitalizing on the popularity and cashing in like crazy.
"Nezha" became a huge hit, and the most direct consequence of this popularity was that it gave other Spring Festival movies a bad beating.
Several films that don't believe in superstition are now scheduled very sadly. Although there are screenings, they are completely incomparable to "Nezha", and the box office is even worse. In this case, the box office has become extremely bleak.
Dark horse, no, a prehistoric beast. Now "Nezha" can no longer be described as a dark horse. After all, Su Yang has already proven himself with his strength. Now that "Nezha" has invested so much, how can it still be called a dark horse? It has been a prehistoric beast from the beginning.
"Nezha" is on the air, but Su Yang and his family are enjoying a rare leisure time.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Yang's villa was bustling with activity. The family was enjoying themselves and were very happy. All the children received gifts from Qin Shuyao.
Looking at the smiles on his younger siblings' faces, and then at their close relationship with Qin Shuyao, Su Yang smiled. Qin Shuyao, the eldest sister-in-law, now holds great authority in the family. The reason for this is, in the final analysis, because Qin Shuyao has given her heart.
Qin Shuyao treats these children just like Zhang's mother, raising them as if they were her own.
Delicious food, fun things, all kinds of gifts, and sometimes she would talk to the children. As the children grew older, some of them had their own little secrets and thoughts. These little secrets, the children sometimes did not want to tell Zhang Mama, but they were willing to tell Qin Shuyao.
"Beibei, what's wrong? Is the food not tasty today?"
At the dinner table, Su Yang saw that Beibei seemed a little depressed and asked with a smile.
"elder brother……"
Beibei looked up. Beibei was fourteen years old. Among this group of children, he was considered an older one. Beibei was a bit introverted and sometimes liked to keep things to himself.
Looking at Beibei's expression, Su Yang put down his chopsticks.
"Come on, Beibei..."
Su Yang shouted and Beibei stood up.
"You guys continue eating, no need to wait for us."
Su Yang said with a smile, and Mother Zhang looked at Beibei with a worried look on her face.
"Mom, leave it to Su Yang."
Qin Shuyao whispered, and Mother Zhang nodded and sighed. "These children have more worries as they grow older, especially after arriving in Yanjing. They've been exposed to the internet and have gained access to more information. After the numerous videos of families searching for their loved ones surfaced online, Mother Zhang noticed that some of the children's mindsets had changed."
These children all knew their identities, and Mother Zhang didn't hide it. Back in Sanshan Village, life was simple, and the children often didn't think too much about it.
But after arriving in Yanjing, where they no longer had to worry about food and clothing and their living conditions improved, these children began to experience significant emotional fluctuations. Mother Zhang understood this; as abandoned children, who wouldn't want parental love? Mother Zhang was a good person, but this kind of love was different from true parental love.
Su Yang brought Bei Bei to his study room, asked Bei Bei to sit on a chair, then Su Yang squatted down and looked up at Bei Bei.
"Beibei, is there something on your mind? Tell me, okay? You know I will keep it a secret."
Su Yang smiled and spoke softly, trying to give Bei Bei a sense of security. Bei Bei sat there, pursed her lips and looked at Su Yang, and finally nodded.
"Brother, I saw a video this morning about finding my parents. I think they are my parents."
Beibei said softly, which made Su Yang stunned.
"Can you please let my brother see the information I saw there?"
Su Yang asked quickly, and Beibei nodded. He took out his cell phone, which was a birthday gift from Qin Shuyao. However, Beibei usually only used it at home, after all, some homework had to be submitted on the phone.
Beibei found the video, which was from a TikTok account.
The account was called "Mother Li Looking for Her Daughter." It contained several videos of a middle-aged woman sitting at home, with a missing-daughter poster behind her. The poster contained a little girl's basic information. Upon seeing the photo, Su Yang's mind was struck.
Su Yang's eagle eyes were very powerful, and he saw more carefully than Bei Bei. This girl was most likely Bei Bei.
"Hello everyone, I'm Mama Li. I'm trying to find my daughter, Zhang Xiaoyu. She got lost when she was four years old..."
Su Yang clicked on a video and started watching it. After watching it, Su Yang's eyes were complicated.
"Beibei, do you have any impression of this Mrs. Li?"
Su Yang looked at Beibei and asked.
"Well, a little bit, but not this fat..."
Beibei nodded. The woman in the product was a slightly plump woman. If what he said was true, Beibei was lost at the age of four, then she might have been a little thinner ten years ago.
"Beibei, can you tell me, if this is really your mother, do you want to go back?"
Su Yang said softly. At this moment, Su Yang didn't know what to do. But he wanted to hear Beibei's opinion. Beibei came to this family when she was four years old, so the timing was right. But Beibei had lived well here for the past ten years.
"elder brother……"
Beibei lowered her head and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Good Beibei, don't cry. Every child wants to return to his or her home. Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, this will always be your home, and I will always be your brother. Mother Zhang will also always be your mother. Let your brother investigate this matter first, okay?"
Su Yang said softly, "I don't know what the story is." So, Su Yang needed to investigate. If this woman was really Bei Bei's mother, then Su Yang needed to thoroughly investigate what happened back then. Was she really lost, or was there some other reason? Because in Su Yang's memory, Bei Bei showed up at this door on her own. And according to the woman's home address in the video, it was impossible for a four-year-old girl to get from her home to Zhang's mother's home.
