"Summer Depression," produced by a company with virtually no reputation, surprisingly surpassed "Happy Summer Trip," produced by Xia Lifei Films, in terms of opening day box office.
This news caused quite a stir in the film industry and shocked many people.
As a result, within almost a day, the name of Daxu Culture Media Co., Ltd. entered the sight of many people in the industry.
"Director Zhang, have you heard? What happened yesterday was really surprising. A little-known company actually pulled off such a big upset."
"What's considered unpopular?"
The man referred to as Director Zhang paused for a moment, then asked in return.
The person next to him clapped his hands and said:
"So you didn't know about this, Director Zhang? Let me explain it to you in detail... So, what are your thoughts on this, Director Zhang?"
Director Zhang pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"Since he is a new director, I think the reason he was able to do this is probably not because of the quality of the film."
You just mentioned that the other party used the song release to attract traffic, and I think that's a pretty good idea...
However, in the end, a film's box office performance is determined by its quality; publicity and promotion are only supplementary.
The person next to him nodded and said:
"Director Zhang shares my view: I believe that the opening day box office figures for a movie cannot determine anything."
Although "Summer Depression" has a slightly higher opening day box office than "Happy Summer Trip".
But once today's box office figures come out, the rankings will likely change..."
"That's why these media outlets love these eye-catching news stories, making everyone make a fuss."
Director Zhang continued:
"I know Xia Lifei Film and Television quite well. We've worked together before. They're quite capable, and their potential is definitely even stronger."
As for that other movie called "Charlotte's Depressing Moment," I guess it'll go downhill after its initial hype.
"Director Zhang's analysis makes sense, but I've heard that director Xu Lu is a newcomer, so we can't be too demanding."
The person next to him said with a smile.
Hearing this, Director Zhang smiled and said:
"That's true. It's normal for a newcomer to be a bit clumsy. They'll naturally become more composed after a few falls."
"Yes, that makes sense. By the way, Director Zhang, your last movie grossed nearly 600 million yuan, which caused quite a stir in the industry."
But lately, there seems to be very little news about Director Zhang. Is he secretly working hard to push the film's box office to 1 billion yuan?
Someone suddenly asked this question.
Director Zhang nodded somewhat reservedly, and then said:
"Achieving a billion-dollar box office for a single film is something many directors dream of, and I'm just trying to get closer to that goal."
The reason I haven't been making many public appearances lately is because I've been carefully selecting and polishing scripts, hoping to achieve the goal of 'one billion yuan at the box office' next time.
"With Director Zhang's talent, there's definitely no problem. I wish Director Zhang's next film a huge box office success, well over a billion!" Upon hearing this, the man quickly spoke up.
Director Zhang replied with a hint of confidence, "Thank you for your kind words!"
...
In fact, the opinions of Director Zhang and others are similar. After learning the news, people in the film industry also believe that Xia Lifei will last longer.
Because a movie's opening day box office can indeed represent some things, but not much!
Of course, even this small amount of stuff made some people very unhappy.
"Damn it, Xia Luo is so frustrated! Why is its opening day box office higher than Happy Summer Tour? This is outrageous!"
In the room, Liu Miao angrily threw her phone away and began cursing and swearing in frustration.
She was in a great mood yesterday after learning that the opening day box office of "Happy Summer Tour" was 22 million.
In the early hours of the morning, he even posted on his WeChat Moments to promote the fact that the movie he had just starred in had achieved the highest box office on its opening day within three days.
Who would have thought that I would wake up one morning?
A friend called her and told her that the number one movie at the box office yesterday was 'Charlotte'.
Because the other film's box office was 25 million, which was nearly 3 million higher than 'Happy Summer Tour'.
This news left Liu Miao completely dumbfounded.
At first, she thought it was a silly joke her friend had played on her, and that it was too fake.
But after she did a quick online search as the other person suggested, she saw related news.
Liu Miao finally came to her senses.
Yesterday's top-grossing new movie was indeed "Summer's Depression"!
While 'Happy Summer Trip' was not bad, it ranked lower than others.
"How is this possible? A startup company, a new director, how could they possibly make so much money at the box office?"
Liu Miao couldn't understand it at all.
But then she suddenly remembered that after posting on her WeChat Moments, she had replied to many people's well wishes in the comments...
"Oh no, this is incredibly embarrassing! Damn 'Xia Luo Te Depressed'!"
Liu Miao deleted the post she had just made on WeChat Moments as quickly as possible, but unfortunately, what has already happened cannot go unnoticed.
For example, that bitch she doesn't get along with, yesterday in that post on her WeChat Moments, she hypocritically said something like "Congratulations, congratulations".
Liu Miao could even sense the other person's sourness through the internet cable.
Of course, she was in a great mood at the time, and she gave a perfunctory "thank you".
However, just as she came to her senses and went to delete the post, she discovered that the other person had posted a post on their Moments that was full of hidden meaning:
