Chapter 387 Falling Behind, I (Subscribe)
"Lost on Journey" grossed over 100 million yuan on its first day, becoming the biggest dark horse of the Spring Festival."
"Lost on Journey" truly achieved the goal of making a big profit with a small budget, with the box office exceeding RMB 100 million on the first day, setting a new record for low-budget movies."
"Lost on Journey may be able to make another push, but how much it can push will depend on the strength of the subsequent rebound."
…
Obviously, many people did not expect the single-day box office performance of "Lost on Journey".
After all, on the first day of its release, everyone felt that the screening schedule for "Lost on Journey" was too outrageous.
Why does it get 10% of the screenings?
Many people feel that this is unfair to other films.
The director of the film that is known as the light of Chinese animation said in an interview: "The market is too harsh on Chinese animation. If no one supports Chinese animation, how can Chinese animation be successful?"
It was precisely because of the director's words that more people directed their criticism at "Lost on Journey".
Who would have thought the result would be?
This Chinese animation film, which had 12 screenings, only grossed 60 million on the first day. More importantly, the 60 million was mostly from the morning shows. When word of mouth was not good, there were not many people attending the afternoon and evening shows.
Everyone in the cinema knows the situation.
No matter how pitiful your director is, or how many slogans he shouts, or even how big a banner you hold, the theaters don't care.
They actually only look at one point.
That's the box office.
As I said, theaters only look at a single day’s box office and attendance.
If both of these are ruined, then it's actually the same thing, which is the box office. If the box office is not good, then no matter how much you talk, it won't work.
That's exactly the case. In fact, starting from the prime time last night, the screening schedule for this Chinese animation film has been reduced.
This is also the reason why the director of this Chinese animation is even more dissatisfied.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with his movie, he just felt that the theater was targeting him.
Stop talking nonsense.
Many cinemas are thinking about making money during the Spring Festival, so they only look at which movie has the highest attendance rate and then schedule that movie.
This is why the entire Spring Festival period is so cruel.
If you fall behind on the first day, you won't even have a chance to bounce back.
Well, this is the movie “The Light of Chinese Animation”.
He was one of those who fell behind on the first day.
The next day, at 12 noon, the ban on ratings on Douhu was lifted.
The title of this Chinese animation is "Zhan Mo", which can be said to be a double entendre. What is a demon? This demon refers to the demon clan, and it also refers to the inner demon.
That's exactly what makes the plot quite bizarre.
In short, the special effects of this drama are only good for a few minutes, and the rest of the time they are typical rubbish.
That’s why the movie collapsed so quickly.
As for Douhu, its rating is only 5 points.
It's a little better than garbage, but that's all. Many of these ratings are for people who have a favorable impression of the movie. If we throw out some of the favorable impression points and just give a neutral score, the rating of this drama would be at most 4 points.
No more.
Some netizens also expressed their dissatisfaction with the film.
Vanilla Soda: "Please Zhang Heng, please stop making empty promises. Damn it, is that all? The glory of Chinese comics? Where is your father?"
Li Xingmei: "What I want to say is that "Demon Slayer" is the worst movie I have ever seen. How dare you brag about it like that?"
A Yuhao: "Fuck you, give me back my money."
Potato yields 30,000 jin per mu: "I won't say anything more. I suggest you watch Lost on Journey."
…
A bunch of people originally came to watch this movie "Demon Slayer" with good interest.
After watching it, they really wanted to curse.
That's it? ?
That’s it???
That’s it???
Many people asked us to leave Chinese animation alone.
Don't come out and embarrass yourself.
Besides talking about "Slayer", the ratings of several other movies are as follows.
"The Visitor" has a score of 8.9, which is the best reputation and score.
The score of "Destruction of the World" reached 8 points, which is quite good.
Later on is "When the Crocodile Comes", which has a rating of 7.2.
Let me put it this way, among the seven movies in the Spring Festival, only "The Man from Alien", "The Destruction of the World" and "Crocodile Attack" scored above 7 points.
As for "Lost on Journey", it is closely behind with only 6.8 points.
As for "Cold-Blooded Dragon", which ranked first on the first day's box office, its score was not high, only 6 points.
6 points. This score is a little bit weird.
The reputation is about to collapse.
Many people started discussing it.
"I have said long ago that the biggest problem with the movie 'Cold Blooded Dragon' is that the script is not good, and the best actor and the young actor have been quarantined for some time, so this movie may be the second one to be withdrawn."
"Yes, I thought so too. I really didn't expect the movie "Cold Blooded Dragon" to turn out like this. Even the best actor and best actress can't save it."
"Do you remember that saying? The script is bad, the whole thing is bad. This is really applicable."
"Forget it. I'm not going to watch this movie anyway. I'd better just watch "Destruction"."
…
It was precisely because of this kind of public opinion that the box office figures released the next day were shocking.
The first place is "The End of the World", with a single-day box office of 320 million.
The second place is "The Man from Outer Space", with a single-day box office of 250 million.
The third place is "Cold-Blooded Dragon", with a single-day box office of 190 million.
The fourth place is "When the Crocodile Comes", with a single-day box office of 140 million.
The fifth place is "Lost on Journey", with a single-day box office of 130 million.
…
Among the top five, the three movies "The End of the World", "The Man from Outer Space" and "Lost on Journey" all reversed the decline, that is, the box office was higher than the first day.
Especially the movie "Destruction", the single-day box office reached 320 million, which was something no one expected.
It has been two days since its release, and the box office rankings have shown a slightly strange situation.
The first place is "The End of the World", with a cumulative box office of 570 million.
The second place is "Cold-Blooded Dragon", with a cumulative box office of 470 million.
The third place is "The Man from Outer Space", with a cumulative box office of 420 million.
The fourth place is "When the Crocodile Comes", with a cumulative box office of 290 million.
The fifth place is "Lost on Journey", with a cumulative box office of 230 million.
…
The rest of the movies have become cannon fodder, so we won’t mention them.
As for the current box office and trends, there is a lot of discussion about it online right now.
"Damn, it turns out that 'Destruction' is a big investment, and the box office is so good?"
"Yes, I also thought that "Destroying the World" wouldn't work that well. I didn't expect that."
"It's normal to think about it. After all, the investment in "The End of the World" was 1 billion yuan. But I'm afraid that "Cold-Blooded Dragon" will be a big headache next."
"Yes, judging from the word of mouth and attendance, this "Cold-Blooded Dragon" really seems to be doomed."
…
After two consecutive days of box office results came out, naturally more and more people started discussing the film.
The one that fell behind on the first day was "Demon Slayer".
However, it is hard to say which one will be the second one to fall behind.
After all, up to now, the first five movies seem to have quite a bit of staying power, but some people speculate that it is "Cold Blooded Dragon" that has no staying power first.
But to be honest, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
Even if the reputation of "Cold-Blooded Dragon" is bad, but because of this cast and the early publicity, even if it fails, the current box office is already close to 500 million.
Yu Xiaoshu was not surprised by this.
He didn't expect that Lost on Journey could kill all these movies.
How is that possible?
But being able to become a dark horse is already good enough.
What's more, there is still a lot of room for the screening of "Lost on Journey". This is only the third day of the Spring Festival, and today "Lost on Journey" officially starts its roadshow.
After today’s promotion is completed and some results are achieved, we hope to increase the number of screenings.
The seven days of the Spring Festival are crucial to victory.
Yu Xiaoshu understands this, Zhang Haotian understands this, and so do all film promoters and theater managers.
During the Spring Festival, tickets are hard to come by, and these tickets sometimes also include movie tickets.
Last night, the crew of "Lost on Journey" arrived in Qicheng, and today, they are conducting a roadshow promotion together at the Daxing Cinema in Qicheng.
The main part is a hall which can accommodate 1,000 people.
In fact, even the manager of Daxing Cinema didn’t know that “Lost on Journey” would come to their place. He just heard the notice from above that some prime seats would be reserved in this hall.
This made the manager think that this person might be a relative of the leader.
Who would have thought the result would be?
It turned out to be the crew of "Lost on Journey".
At this moment, the manager really felt that the Qicheng Cinema where he was would definitely become a hot topic.
It will definitely become a hot topic.
This hall is where the first show is broadcast, which starts at 9 o'clock and ends at 11 o'clock.
Before the show started, all the actors of Lost on Journey came in wearing masks.
Because the lights in the hall were deliberately dimmed, many people did not recognize the actors.
Among them, Li Lei and his girlfriend Han Nan sat in the golden row, next to Yu Xiaoshu.
But neither of them recognized Yu Xiaoshu.
Li Lei himself doesn't want to watch this movie. He still wants to watch "The Destruction of the World" because for Li Lei, he thinks that fairy tales like "The Destruction of the World" are interesting.
But how to say it? ?
Everything depends on my girlfriend.
Han Nan is a fan of Yu Xiaoshu.
Made of iron.
So Han Nan will definitely support Teacher Yu.
The two were still chatting in low voices before the movie started.
"I'm telling you, if you keep giving me a sullen face, you'll have to get out of here. Didn't the Internet say that Lost on Journey has a pretty good reputation? What are you doing?"
Han Nan said in a rather fierce voice, "Besides, I don't think the box office of Lost on Journey is that good right now. We must support it. Now that we have finally bought the tickets, you are still like this? I tell you, if you don't want to watch it with me, then get out. There are people who are willing to watch it with me."
"Nannan, that's not what I meant. Why would I not want to watch it with you?"
Li Lei said weakly: "I like it very much. I am also a fan of Yu Xiaoshu."
"Get lost, everyone knows who you are a fan of, you only like girls with big breasts, whoever has big breasts, you support, if I didn't have big breasts, would you chase me??"
Han Nan is really tough.
Of course, the voice was a bit low.
But Yu Xiaoshu just heard it.
Not only Yu Xiaoshu heard it, but Zhou Xiaozhi also heard it.
Zhou Xiaozhi glanced at her small breasts and wondered if men really like big breasts?
The couple's words were just a small episode, and when 9 o'clock arrived, the lights in the entire theater were turned off and the movie officially began.
"Hahaha, this Niu Dan really has a bad mouth."
"Oh my god, this is really going to make me die of laughter, it's so funny."
"I didn't expect this movie to be so funny?"
"Hahaha, Li Chenggong is so unlucky. He actually walked into the wrong room."
“Niu Dan is really amazing.”
…
Obviously, more and more people are immersed in movies at this time.
At the same time, some people are indeed unhappy with Li Chenggong.
After the movie ended, Han Nan was a little annoyed: "I never thought that a scumbag like Li Chenggong would have such a good wife and a mistress. If my husband dares to cheat in the future, I will just cut him out."
Upon hearing this, Li Lei felt a chill in his crotch.
I really felt a chill in my crotch.
Because Li Lei knew that his girlfriend could really do it.
Han Nan's ex-boyfriend cheated on her. Her boyfriend took nude photos of her in order to threaten her, but Han Nan was not afraid at all. She directly stated on the forum that her boyfriend was a weak and troublesome person, and that he would do such and such things after just a few minutes in bed.
As a result, Han Nan was fine, but her boyfriend was completely devastated.
Such a tough girl.
Of course, Li Lei also likes people with Han Nan's personality.
The movie ended, the lights came on, and Li Lei and Han Nan prepared to leave.
At this time, the staff hurriedly said: "Please wait a moment."
Upon hearing this, Han Nan was stunned: "What? Is there any other activity?"
“Well, there is an event.”
Yu Xiaoshu, who was next to Han Nan, took off his mask and said with a smile, "So please wait a moment. Also, I think you are right. Li Chenggong is indeed a scumbag..."
Looking at Yu Xiaoshu in front of him, Han Nan was a little stunned: "Fuck, you, you, you are Yu Xiaoshu..."
The swear words came out instantly.
Yu Xiaoshu: “???”
Li Lei: “???”
Zhou Xiaozhi: “???”
Han Nan wanted to strangle herself to death. She blushed and said shyly, "Teacher Yu, I, I didn't mean that just now. I'm actually your die-hard fan."
"Haha, I know, thank you for your love."
Yu Xiaoshu laughed, and then went straight to the stage with other actors.
Everyone was stunned at this time.
Hold.
The crew of Lost on Journey actually showed up here? ?
