Chapter 160160

The first-day box office of "White Snake" was as high as 560,000.

This is not the first-day box office in the whole country, but the first-day box office in Beijing.

When Director Yu heard this box office result, he excitedly waved his fist in the air.

The current network is not as developed as in later generations, and the speed of information communication is not as fast as in later generations. The national box office statistics are not as fast as in later generations. At present, all he can know is the first-day box office in Beijing.

This box office will be a drop in the bucket in 20 or 30 years, but in this era, it is already a very high box office.

Now is January 1998.

The current box office of "Party A and Party B" is more than 20 million, which is already a big-selling movie with a very high return rate. Among them, the box office contributed by Beijing accounts for one-third of the national box office.

If we refer to the box office of "Party A and Party B" to calculate, the first day box office of "White Snake" is about 1.5 million.

Many people still have no idea of ​​this number. Let's refer to "Party A and Party B". The current box office of this movie is about 21 million. It has been released for 27 days, and the average daily box office is about 900,000.

The first day box office of "White Snake" in Beijing alone was 560,000.

The total investment of this movie is 7 million. If the box office can maintain this level for the next week, then it will only take one week for their investment in this movie to pay off, and then the box office after that will be the profit of their movie.

Compared with the copyright fee of only 28,000 they bought for "White Snake Cultivation", it can be said that they made a lot of money.

Of course, the reason why the first-day box office of "White Snake" was so high was also related to the fact that "White Snake" was released during the winter vacation, which was the time of the year when the traffic was the best and the number of moviegoers was the highest. In addition, the promotion of "White Snake" was good, and the number of people who watched the movie yesterday was almost all divided between "Party A and Party B" and "White Snake".

"Party A and Party B" was released a month in advance, when the students were at the end of the semester and the exams were the most nervous. Who would watch a movie at that time?" At this time, it had been released for 27 days. The audience who should have watched it had basically watched it. The only ones who had not watched it were some students who had just finished their winter vacation.

However, more than 70% of these student parties chose "White Snake", which is currently the most discussed and hottest movie online, and has a very good reputation online with all handsome men and beautiful women. With the previous masterpiece "Green Snake" and the TV series "The Legend of the New White Snake" as a foundation, the audience is much more interested in the theme of "White Snake" than the theme of "Party A and Party B".

The rest of them, on the one hand, have a good reputation for the movie "Party A and Party B", and some are willing to pay for it. Another part is not the readers of "White Snake Cultivation" or the fans of the cute girl, but the readers and fans of the creator of "Party A and Party B", who support this great author. Another part of

them just have a rebellious mentality, you all go to see "White Snake", then I will go to see "Party A and Party B".

But no matter what, the opening of "White Snake" was a hit, suppressing the movies of the same period except "Party A and Party B".

When the movie investors heard the good news, they called Director Yu to have a drink to celebrate. Director Yu was afraid that the movie would start high and end low, and he kept an eye on the box office trend of "White Snake" and rejected the idea of ​​celebrating now. The investors were not angry, but increased the publicity.

"Wuxia" magazine and the publishing house promoted the movie "White Snake" so hard, of course, not just to do good things, they also received publicity fees, but they just happened to promote their own magazines and books, so the fees were slightly less. After all, it was a win-win situation.

The publisher also took advantage of the movie's release to promote the physical book "White Snake's Cultivation" like crazy. Hundreds of thousands of new collector's editions have already been stocked in major bookstores across the country, waiting for the movie to be released.

The publisher also sent Jiang Xi 50,000 beautifully made bookmarks for him to sign. These 50,000 bookmarks were not prepared for a single book, but for "The Great Song", "White Snake" and "The Imperial Guard". White Snake's autographed book is enough for now, and the most lacking books now are "The Great Song" and "The Imperial Guard".

The best-selling volume of "Da Song" is nearly 10 million, but the number of signed books was only 5,000. The readers who bought these 5,000 signed books went crazy online. Countless readers of "Da Song" cried out that it was unfair, and that "Da Song" was too shameless to give "White Snake" so many signed books!

They not only asked the publishing house to publish a collector's edition of "Da Song" signed books, but also to hold a book signing event.

They also saw "White Snake" readers discussing online that Xi Meng was a beauty or a handsome man. Who doesn't like to see beautiful women or handsome men?

Jiang Xi had not yet returned home in the capital when he received such bad news, but what could he do? It was written in the contract that for every tens of thousands of copies of the book published, the author would have to provide the publisher with a certain number of signed books. She had never thought that her book would be so popular. You know, in her previous life, the sales of her books were only 200,000 or 300,000, which was already a best-seller.

Who made the physical books of this era not replaced by e-books? Now the entire market is dominated by physical books.

Jiang Xi spent several days quickly signing these bookmarks, and then quickly sent them to the publisher, and then took Song Peifeng to flee the capital.

Now a week has passed, and the first week box office of "White Snake" has also been counted. The weekly box office is as high as more than 8 million, which directly suppressed the box office of "Party A and Party B" and became the box office champion in the first week of the winter vacation.

No one thought that the box office of "White Snake" would be so strong.

They thought that the box office of "Party A and Party B" was already the best of the year, but they didn't expect that "White Snake" was even more powerful. It earned back all the money they invested in just one week.

This year's winter vacation is a total of 21 days, and this is only the first week. If the daily box office of "White Snake" can be maintained between 800,000 and 1 million in the next two weeks, then the final box office of "White Snake" is likely to exceed 30 million!

30 million for a movie!

Although it's not that there have been movies that have broken 30 million, for an investment like "White Snake", if this movie breaks 30 million, it can really be said to be a blood profit.

And this is their most conservative estimate at present.

Generally speaking, the box office will be higher in the first week of release. If the movie's reputation is not good, it will gradually drop later, but if the reputation is good, it will rise steadily in the next two weeks.

The box office of "White Snake" was like this. In the second week, countless young men and women who had returned from working in the cities returned to the villages.

Although they were villages, there were movie theaters in the towns. The end of the year was the peak period for young men and women to go on blind dates, get engaged, and get married. After the blind date, young men

and women chose to date in discotheques, dance halls, skating rinks, and movie theaters. People who were not particularly fashionable would not choose to take their blind date or engagement partners to discotheques and dance halls. Most of these people would go to the theater with young girls to watch movies.

The overall tone of the movie "Party A and Party B" is somewhat dark. The faces of the main actors such as Ge Da Ye and Ying Da, which are funny but not good-looking, are shown in the posters.

Before watching this movie, these young men and women were willing to choose the combination of handsome men and beautiful women and the fairy-like "White Snake" just from the posters, so they walked into the theater of "White Snake". While watching the movie,

the young couples laughed so hard that the staff outside the theater could hear the laughter from inside from time to time.

When the audience saw that the White Snake, who was afraid to take risks in order to save people, was almost beaten to death by Fahai, they were gnashing their teeth at Fahai, and they cried tears for the death of Mingyue, who was so handsome that people couldn't bear to blink. In the end, the whole play reached its climax. Just when Fahai thought that he had finally subdued the snake demon and that he was the true ruler of the world, a merit from heaven was bestowed on the White Snake, and all the previous injuries on the White Snake were healed.

Previously, the audience had discovered that two small horns seemed to have grown on both sides of the white snake's forehead. Many young men and women working in the factory who had not seen "White Snake Cultivation" did not know what was going on at the time. Now, they saw these two cute white horns stretching out, and four limbs and five claws slowly growing in front of her body. Then, the white snake flew up to the sky, and a clear dragon roar was heard throughout the world.

Fahai couldn't stand the dragon's might and spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the white dragon in the sky with lightning flashing all over its body and was so powerful that he was shocked. He murmured, "The white snake has turned into a dragon! Even the heavens have recognized the white snake. Could it be that... I am really wrong?"

Humans and demons have different paths and cannot coexist. He has subdued countless demons in his life, but he has no merit. However, the heavens have given merit to the snake demon and helped her shed her demon body and turn into a white dragon. This makes his life seem like a joke. How embarrassing is it?

Here, the director also used the most advanced special effects technology at the time, which was three thousand yuan. A circle of crackling white lightning surrounded the white dragon that roared into the sky.

Between heaven and earth, dark clouds filled the sky, lightning and thunder roared.

Audiences who have read "White Snake Cultivation" will know at once that this is a thunder tribulation! Ascension thunder tribulation!

But those who have not read the book "White Snake Cultivation" think that the special effects of this movie are amazing.

After a series of special effects thunder strikes, the white snake sheds its snake body and transforms into a dragon, looking up and down between heaven and earth, leaping into the raging flood, and combing the water veins of the world.

When the water veins of the world are thoroughly combed, the little white dragon turns around and becomes the image of a dragon girl, with a fairy-like aura floating, and the audience can't bear to blink.

The dragon girl said goodbye to her friends, and the funny male snake came to the dragon girl with a twisted step. The demon reluctantly pulled the dragon girl's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

The audience laughed again.

In this relaxed atmosphere, the light of guidance from the sky sprinkled down, and the dragon girl slowly ascended to the upper world in the eyes of the people looking up and awe.

The audience seemed to have ascended with the white snake, and they were refreshed from head to toe, and their tops of the head were numb.

It looks good! It looks really good!
