Chapter 365: Amazing Box Office
The National Day period is originally an excellent period.
Many blockbusters want to eat into the box office and top the charts during this period, while some small and medium-sized films also think they can get a piece of the pie during this period.
When promoting at this time, everyone will naturally put in as much effort as possible.
But no one can be as bold as "Let the Bullets Fly", which is also a big gamble.
On the first day of screenings, "Let the Bullets Fly" only had two screenings, one for fans and one for haters.
But what no one expected was that both the fan hall and the anti-fan hall gave positive reviews to "Let the Bullets Fly".
Following the first day of previews, the second day's previews were directly expanded to five major cities, with three screenings in each city, all concentrated in the prime time.
That's right.
This was what Yu Xiaoshu had agreed upon with Baoying Distribution Company at the very beginning.
Giving up some so-called non-prime time slots, they only want to get one prime time slot, from 18:00 to 20:00.
Anyway, there is still some time before the actual premiere, so Yu Xiaoshu can definitely wait.
What he wants is to let "Let the Bullets Fly" fly slowly for a while this time.
No rush.
On the Internet, the overwhelming promotion is not for "Let the Bullets Fly", but rather for several other movies. This is normal, after all, these other movies are all waiting to show their talents during the National Day holiday.
However, on Douhu, the most discussed drama is "Let the Bullets Fly".
After two days of previews, discussions about this movie have reached a small peak.
【I think "Let the Bullets Fly" is a very good commercial film. There are many metaphors in this film, some of which you will not understand if you only watch it once. For me, the competition between Zhang Mazi, Huang Silang and Master Tang is not the most important thing. The identities of the three representatives are especially important. Huang Silang once participated in the revolution, but he suddenly stole the fruits of victory. So, did the film tell us that Zhang Mazi won? I don't think so. Anyway, I won't say too much. I hope more people will go to the cinema to watch it. 】
[I agree with the various metaphors that everyone has mentioned, and I also agree that many people say that "Let the Bullets Fly" is a classic, but what I want to talk about now is another thing, that is, who did everyone have the deepest impression of after watching "Let the Bullets Fly"? I was impressed by the jelly seller. I even wondered what I would do if I were the jelly seller.]
[Who says it’s not true? It’s better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times. Sometimes I think of the people selling jelly. I can’t say they are wrong, but I can say that it’s the environment that is wrong.]
…
This is the charm of "Let the Bullets Fly". This movie may not satisfy everyone, but it can let everyone see what they want to see.
For example, Zhang Mazi said: "I want to stand and make money."
This sentence is very domineering.
Many people even think that this sentence is actually what Yu Xiaoshu wanted to say through Zhang Mazi.
Not pleasing the audience.
Don't try to please the so-called capital market.
I just wanted to make a movie that I wanted to make.
Think about it, Yu Xiaoshu was the first to fire at the entire traffic market. He believed that the traffic market was too distorted. He believed that capital had taken control of the traffic market. Yu Xiaoshu even wanted to block the traffic market with his own strength.
As it turned out, Yu Xiaoshu succeeded.
He did succeed.
Think about it, starting from "I Am Yu Huanshui", Yu Xiaoshu has used only veteran actors, and even when he used traffic, he did not use the so-called popular traffic.
Not to mention the three mystery dramas "The Undocumented Crime", "The Bad Kids" and "The Silent Truth", which basically established Yu Xiaoshu as the number one in criminal investigation and reasoning.
Who dares to disobey?
Who can be unconvinced?
There is no need to mention the TV drama circle. Nowadays, TV dramas are full of so-called idols, and some of them are ancient idol dramas.
Don't even think about those so-called costume idol dramas. They are all so ugly. They are extremely ugly.
Some people also say that the traffic is now downgraded.
In fact, it is more than just traffic downgrade.
The traffic volume is getting lower and lower with each generation.
But even so, two years ago someone said that traffic was dead, but in the past two years traffic has not completely died. At this time, what do you think can be saved?
Even some so-called veteran actors have started to bring in traffic.
result?
Hehe.
Yu Xiaoshu directly filmed "Soldier Assault".
Who dares to say that "Soldier Assault" has traffic? ?
However, "Soldier Assault" set a record for military dramas, and many people feel that it is truly unprecedented and will never be surpassed.
It’s just that strong.
Yu Xiaoshu has truly achieved the goal of attracting traffic with his abilities in online dramas and TV series.
Everyone thought that Yu Xiaoshu would continue to make TV series after "Soldier Assault", but he jumped to the film market. It would have been fine if he simply jumped to the film market, but Yu Xiaoshu said that there is no difference between the film and TV market.
Yu Xiaoshu doesn't care about the status of the film industry.
So he almost offended the film industry.
Almost half of the film industry is criticizing Yu Xiaoshu.
Many people are waiting for Yu Xiaoyang to make the mistake.
As a result, in the first two direct screenings of "Let the Bullets Fly", not only did people not see a so-called bad movie, but they also saw a lot of people recommending this movie.
Among them, Su Qing, needless to say, directly used "鸡鸡两米八" on Douhu to conduct a focused analysis of "Let the Bullets Fly".
Besides that.
There is also Xiang Fei.
After watching the first preview, Xiang Fei’s girlfriend was extremely angry.
After all, Xiang Fei’s girlfriend is a fan of Guo Zeqiang. If she was in the fan hall, she would definitely be able to take a photo with Guo Zeqiang.
As a result, nothing was achieved in the black fan room.
That would have been fine, but it just so happened that Li Ting's other sister also watched "Let the Bullets Fly" and took photos with her idol in the fan room.
Plastic sisters.
Li Ting and her little sister are just fake sisters. Her little sister kept showing off and made Li Ting angry.
"I don't care. I must take a photo with Guo Zeqiang. You can figure it out yourself. If you can't think of one, don't touch me for ten days. No, don't touch me for a month."
Li Ting’s girlfriend said viciously.
This put Xiang Fei in a difficult position.
What can he do?
But he really wasn't that strong enough to let Guo Zhiqiang take a photo with his girlfriend, and the key point was that he didn't even know her.
After thinking about it, Xiang Fei decided to talk about it online first.
He first apologized to "Let the Bullets Fly".
Yes.
Xiang Fei deeply reflected on his mistakes. He did not have his own judgment on life and just followed the crowd to discuss with others. Then he became a black fan of "Let the Bullets Fly".
But after watching the preview of "Let the Bullets Fly", I deeply realized my mistake. I think this movie is really worth watching.
At the same time, Xiang Fei said that he also attended the preview the next day. He watched "Let the Bullets Fly" again and analyzed some of the plots.
Of course, Xiang Fei did not give any spoilers.
He is just promoting it. He hopes everyone will go to see "Let the Bullets Fly", which is a movie you will never regret watching.
Finally, Xiang Fei hated Guo Zeqiang, Mr. Guo, the actor, and said, “My girlfriend is your die-hard fan. But because I am a hater of “Let the Bullets Fly”, I was in the hater hall on the first day of the preview and got nothing. My girlfriend was very angry with me.”
I apologize for your movie. If I had known that you were the lead actor in Let the Bullets Fly, I wouldn't have dared to criticize it even if I had ten guts.
At the same time, can I be so shameless as to ask you for a photo? No matter which preview you plan to attend, I will definitely support you. All you have to do is give me an autographed photo. I really, really mean it...
…
Xiang Fei is quite smart.
He felt that if he wanted to get Guo Zeqiang's autographed photo, he had to be honest. If he was wrong, he was wrong, and there was no shame in a generous apology.
Look, Xiang Fei wrote a film review for "Let the Bullets Fly".
Then, Xiang Fei mentioned the official V of "Let the Bullets Fly" and all other leading actors, especially Guo Zeqiang.
He did everything he was supposed to do.
Next, just wait for the response.
Of course, in order to get more people to see it, Xiang Fei also added a few topics.
Something like "You must watch Let the Bullets Fly during this National Day holiday."
What "Let the Bullets Fly" will be the only good film during the National Day holiday."
…
In short, Xiang Fei threw away his moral integrity for his girlfriend.
"Hahaha, I actually got beaten up by my girlfriend. Lao Xiang, aren't you usually pretty awesome?"
"Oh my god, Lao Xiang, is it really that serious?"
"Hahaha, now I know, Lao Xiang, you are a henpecked husband."
"No matter how henpecked he is, Lao Xiang is not married yet after all."
…
Everyone does make fun of Xiang Fei.
After all, he has quite a few fans on social platforms.
Later, some big Vs reposted and interacted.
How to say it?
In just a short time, Xiang Fei's post had over 10,000 views.
If you keep turning it, there will be a play.
Later, the official Weibo account of Let the Bullets Fly also reposted the video and wrote: "Just contacted Brother Qiang to make arrangements."
"Oh my god, I'm so envious. I'm so envious. I want to comment as well."
"I want to ask if you can take me with you?"
"Hey, this, this, I want to go too."
"Take me, take me, take me."
…
Others are envious and jealous.
Just think about it, who wouldn’t want to take a photo with Guo Zeqiang? ?
Driven by this, it can be said that "Let the Bullets Fly" is really about to take off.
In the first three days, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" was not high due to the small number of screenings. It is only over 1 million now, but this is because "Let the Bullets Fly" did not start large-scale previews.
Starting from the fourth day, "Let the Bullets Fly" finally began to be screened on a large scale.
Because of the spread of word-of-mouth, more and more people are watching "Let the Bullets Fly". What's more important is that this movie is specially scheduled for prime time.
Don’t take any other sessions.
And just like that, on the fourth day, the single-day box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" approached 10 million.
What kind of result is this?
The attendance rate was not 100%, but it reached more than 80%.
Such an attendance rate can only mean one thing, that is, the reputation of this movie is really fermenting.
The cinema chains are not stupid. Under such circumstances, they will of course promote the film quickly.
Due to the increase in the number of screenings, the advance screening box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" has been rising steadily.
From the initial single-day box office of nearly 10 million to the later single-day box office of 20 million, and this 30 million was on a weekday.
Everyone knows that the box office on weekdays is often quite quiet, and the overall market will fall sharply.
But who would have thought that the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" would actually plummet.
By the seventh day of the preview, the cumulative box office nationwide had exceeded 100 million yuan.
All of a sudden, "Let the Bullets Fly" broke countless records.
This is a movie directed by a new director, and it broke the 100 million yuan box office record, and it broke the 100 million yuan box office during the preview.
More importantly, before this, everyone thought it would be a blessing if "Let the Bullets Fly" could reach 10 million at the box office.
If this movie had not been screened in advance, then perhaps the box office would not have been so strong, because if it really came to the National Day holiday, it would be impossible for so many screenings to be scheduled on the first day.
There is a so-called lucky thing here, that is, all the movies are scheduled to be released during the National Day holiday, which results in no new movies in theaters from late September to the end of September.
Not only are the theaters anxious, some audiences are also anxious.
When people go to the cinema, they see the same old movies, and they are tired of watching them.
Under such circumstances, the preview of "Let the Bullets Fly" can be said to be just right.
This movie fills a gap in the theater chain and adds a new film to the cinema.
Everyone is happy.
Hello, I'm fine too.
Of course, the more important point is that the reputation of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" was gradually formed. When the reputation is good, the attendance rate will naturally be high, and when the attendance rate is high, the screening schedule will naturally be high.
The box office kept rising like this, and in 7 days, the preview box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 100 million yuan.
At that time, no one expected that "Let the Bullets Fly" would be able to earn 100 million yuan at the box office even though it was previewed a week in advance.
What’s more important is that what was snatched was not just 100 million in box office revenue, but also word of mouth and public opinion.
Then other movies finally panicked at this time.
Tomorrow is the National Day.
Of course, the screening schedule of other movies will increase, but under such circumstances, if "Let the Bullets Fly" is officially premiered, its screening schedule will not decrease either.
If "Let the Bullets Fly" had not been screened in advance, the number of screenings on the first day might not even be 6. Now, the number of screenings on the first day of "Let the Bullets Fly" has reached 15.
As long as the premiere continues to be a huge success, the schedule for subsequent screenings will definitely continue to change.
Will it continue to create miracles, or is it really just a flash in the pan.
Just watch the premiere.
At this time, the entire industry turned its attention to "Let the Bullets Fly".
