On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, "Shendu Youth Journey" completed its first single-day box office championship!
One reason is that the box office of the Hong Kong romance film that originally ranked first has shown a downward trend. As a romance film that was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year and raked in 50 million at the box office by the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, its performance has made both the producer and the distributor smile from ear to ear!
This theme will at least last until Valentine's Day, and it's no surprise that it'll break the 100 million yuan box office. It's a low-budget film, and its current performance has already exceeded the producers' expectations. Losing the single-day box office champion is nothing to be upset about.
Even if I am depressed, there is nothing I can do. Even the strong production and distribution background of "The Devil Changes" could not suppress "The Mystical City: Youth". The producers of HK romance films chose to be open-minded.
There is another very important reason why "Shendu Youth" was able to achieve the first kill of the single-day box office champion: word-of-mouth fermentation.
The reputation of a movie cannot be achieved by hiring a bunch of film critics, nor can it be achieved by hiring a bunch of internet trolls to give it high scores and positive reviews.
Whether a movie is good or not is ultimately up to the audience to judge.
By the time "Shendu Youth" took the top spot at the single-day box office, "The Devil Transformation" had already seen its online reputation decline. "The Devil Transformation" wasn't originally that bad, but it initially compared itself to "Shendu Youth" and now has to accept the conclusion drawn by the audience after watching both films!
It is the fault of the movie stars that the audience does not think "The Devil Changes" is ugly. After thinking about it, the critics previously praised Luo Hao's acting skills to the sky, but the audience thought it was just average.
The greater the expectations and the higher the standards, the greater the disappointment will naturally be.
Luo Hao's acting skills are not worthy of the huge hype before the movie was released, and now it is about to backfire.
On the contrary, Yun Chen was previously criticized as a "rich second generation who came to the entertainment industry to experience life". Many black fans accused him of acting foolishly. After watching "Shendu Youth", they found that it was not the case at all.
Yun Chen's acting skills are not as good as those of veteran actors, but he managed to hold up the entire film. Other actors from the "Shendu Youth Journey" crew were interviewed and said that Yun Chen is dedicated to his work and has outstanding professional skills.
The crew then timely released a behind-the-scenes video of Yun Chen being injured during filming, but insisting on continuing filming despite the minor injury. In an instant, not only did Yun Chen’s fans feel heartbroken, but passers-by also felt that Yun Chen was really dedicated!
Why didn't you release the behind-the-scenes footage earlier?
"Winning games are the icing on the cake, but losing games is just a pitiful experience."
Yuan Fenghui and Wen Ying both know what kind of publicity is suitable for each stage.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the weekly box office statistics for this year's Spring Festival period were released.
Ranked first is a Hong Kong romance film, with a box office of 53.29 million in one week.
Ranked second is "The Devil Changes", with a weekly box office of 47.4 million.
"Shendu Youth" is currently ranked third, with a weekly box office of 45.17 million.
The screening schedule has been suppressed for so long, it's really a waste of time. The weekly box office difference between "Shendu Youth" and "The Devil Changes" is only over one million!
The box office trend of "Shendu: Youth" is on the rise. It won its first single-day box office champion on the seventh day of its release. The theater chains feel that this movie still has great box office potential, and all major theater chains have decided to continue to increase the number of screenings of "Shendu: Youth".
Although the Hong Kong romance film lost the single-day box office championship, its weekly box office data is number one, so it is impossible to reduce the number of screenings.
The only one that can be divided into different stages is "The Demonic Transformation".
Although its weekly box office is currently ranked second, its box office trend has been declining. Of the more than 40 million weekly box office data, more than 21 million was earned on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it took the remaining few days to make up more than 20 million in box office revenue, which is very disappointing.
"The single-day box office of 'The Devil Transformed' has fallen below 5 million yuan, and its screening schedule should be separated."
"That's right, we can't let it stand in the toilet without pooping!"
"Give it to 'Shendu Youth', it has great box office potential..."
Mr. Ran's face is no longer in good shape, because it was "Demon Reborn" that failed to live up to expectations. He still scheduled the screening for "Demon Reborn", and Mr. Ran would not pay out of his own pocket to make up for the losses of major theaters!
Starting from February 2, major cinema chains have scheduled screenings for "God of Youth" on par with Hong Kong romance films. Now, among all the Spring Festival movies, the two of them have divided up most of the screenings, and then it is the turn of "The Devil Changes".
No matter how angry Ran Keqing was and how much she threw things, it was useless. On February 2, "Shendu Youth Journey" once again won the single-day box office championship.
The attendance rate of HK romance films began to decline, and theater chains continued to adjust their screening schedules. "God of Youth" finally became the film with the most screenings among all the Spring Festival films!
From the premiere in the early morning of New Year's Eve to February 3rd, Wen Ying finally waited for the so-called "counterattack".
The declining attendance rate of HK romance films and the screenings vacated by "The Devil's Shadow" gave "God of War: Youth" a huge box office boost.
On February 6, the cumulative box office of "Shendu Youth" exceeded 100 million yuan.
The stingy Mr. Zhang wanted to organize a celebration party immediately, but was stopped by Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui.
"Wait a little longer. It's a bit early to hold a celebration party now. What if... Mr. Zhang, don't you agree?"
It just broke 100 million.
What if it can exceed 200 million?
Mr. Zhang was convinced and slapped himself lightly: "Yes, yes, I was too impatient. I need to calm down!"
It seemed as if the god in charge of the movie box office had heard the ambitions of Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui. On February 7, 2009, the day after the two stopped Mr. Zhang from holding a celebration party, even though the golden week of the Spring Festival had passed, the single-day box office of "Shendu Youth" had an unexpected growth of 17.02 million.
