Chapter 542: Some people fall behind, some people strike back
"Honestly speaking, I was a little surprised that The Number One Under Heaven earned over 300 million yuan on its first day. How could such a crappy movie be worth 300 million yuan?"
"Don't say that. The fact that the first-day box office of "Number One Under Heaven" didn't break 400 million actually proves that it didn't make enough effort in the second half of the day. After all, it had the highest number of screenings, and the promotion was so fierce. In addition, Chen Feng and a group of movie kings and queens were also involved in the production. With this box office, don't you think it's still a flop?"
"That's true, but on the other hand, Chen Feng won't be able to fool anyone in the next movie."
…
After the first day box office came out, it directly topped the hot search list.
Although it was already early in the morning, many people were still awake.
Everyone wants to see the box office on the first day of the Spring Festival.
In fact, it’s not just Feng Ling who is waiting, Su Liang is waiting, and some professionals are also waiting.
Today, Xiang Fei took his wife to watch some other movies. Xiang Fei has seen "The Wandering Earth", "The Last Days of Rescue" and "One Life", so today he and his wife focused on watching the other four.
Especially "The World's Number One".
Not only does he need to do a special topic on science fiction movies, but Xiang Fei also has to watch the remaining movies. Like many people, Xiang Fei actually has relatively complicated conflicts about "The World's Number One".
The reason for the complexity is that from a rational discussion, Xiang Fei sincerely feels that the movie "Number One Under Heaven" is in danger of failure. Before it is released, no matter from which aspect, the reputation of this movie seems to be about to collapse.
In addition, Xiang Fei is actually also a die-hard fan of Chen Feng. He even believes that it is the strength given to him by Chen Feng that enables him to pursue this career.
In such a situation, Xiang Fei actually sincerely hopes that Chen Feng can achieve even greater success.
Just like what Chen Feng said before, domestic entertainment would not die as long as he was there, Xiang Fei actually believed it.
Among the older generation there is Chen Feng, and among the younger generation there is Yu Xiaoshu, which proves that Huayu has always had supporters, so Huayu will not die, and domestic entertainment will not die.
But if Xiang Fei still had a little bit of luck before watching "The World's Number One", then after watching this movie he knew that Chen Feng's golden signboard had collapsed.
There is a saying in casinos: If you gamble, you must accept the loss.
No matter how many times you have won before, or even how undefeated you once were, if you lose this round, you lose. To be honest, any reason or excuse is useless and will only add to the joke.
It is obvious that Chen Feng's film "Number One Under Heaven" has failed in word of mouth, and from the current point of view, the reputation of this film has failed extremely badly. In such a situation, Chen Feng still stated in an interview that he did not have any problems.
He still believes in his film.
This is possible.
But Chen Feng pushed it directly to the audience, which seemed to mean that he didn't want to admit defeat.
What happened to you, audience?
Several of your films achieved a comeback back then. What did you say at that time?
At the beginning, Chen Feng said: "The audience is the cutest person in the world. They have enough appreciation ability."
Okay.
This now directly means that the audience's aesthetic taste will be stimulated? ?
For this reason, Xiang Fei is waiting for the first day's box office.
He couldn't wait to see that the box office of "The World's Number One" on the first day was 370 million.
To be honest, a first-day box office champion is quite impressive.
But don’t forget the first-day screening rate of “The World’s Number One”.
He was ranked first on the first day of screening, and more importantly, it was Chen Feng’s own reputation that led to such a box office success.
It can be said that Chen Feng gambled his own reputation for "The World's Number One" this time.
Following closely behind are the box office of another nine films.
The second place is "The Wandering Earth", with a box office of 350 million on the first day.
The third place is "The Rescue", with a box office of 300 million on the first day.
Fourth place: "One Life", with a box office of 250 million on the first day.
The fifth place is "Cat and Cat: A Great Crossing Fantasy", with a box office of 84 million on the first day.
The sixth place is "Integrity," with a box office of 80 million on the first day.
Seventh place: "My Fair Princess", with a box office of 60 million on the first day.
Eighth place: "Blind Date", with a box office of 43 million on the first day.
Ninth place: "Big Tiger and Snakes", with a box office of 5 million on the first day.
The tenth place is "Old Li Celebrates the New Year", with a box office of 3 million on the first day.
…
Among such a large box office, Xiang Fei was only surprised by the movie "Blind Date".
You know, at the beginning everyone thought that the movie "Blind Date" was bound to flop.
Some even think that the movie "Blind Date" is just a cannon fodder.
What I never expected was how powerful this movie would be.
With only 3% of the screenings on the first day, it unexpectedly achieved such a box office record.
The attendance rate is almost over 50 percent.
Such an attendance rate can be said to be quite terrifying.
After all, this movie has absolutely no publicity, and there are few screenings and the showtimes are not good.
But even so, there are so many people coming to watch.
In comparison, among the three animated films, "Cat Time Travel Fantasy" still has a little face on the first day of the Lunar New Year. After all, even though other people know that this movie will flop, they are still prepared to support it as a whole.
However, the remaining "Old Li's New Year" and "Big Tiger and Snakes" had absolutely no chance of improvement on the first day of the Spring Festival.
The box office tanked.
You should know that there are 5 screenings of "Old Li Celebrates the New Year".
Finally there is a ball to use.
With such box office results, it is impossible for the film to be scheduled for screening on the second day of the Spring Festival.
At the same time, the real test for the remaining movies is the box office on the second day of the Spring Festival.
After all, the first day box office of the Spring Festival is out. No matter whether people were really deceived into buying the movie, or for other reasons, everyone has watched it anyway.
Because it was the first day of the Spring Festival, the attendance rates of the first five movies were all over 60 percent.
This proves that everyone has a certain degree of confidence in the first five films.
Otherwise, why did three movies have box office revenues exceeding 300 million on the first day of the Spring Festival?
The two science fiction films "The Wandering Earth" and "The Rescue" are particularly dazzling.
It has been many years since such a scene appeared in a science fiction movie.
On the first day of the Spring Festival, both movies grossed over 300 million yuan.
Plus Chen Feng’s “The Best in the World”.
It can be said that the total box office on the first day of the Spring Festival almost broke 1.6 billion, which is a result that has already broken the record of the Lunar New Year period.
Xiang Fei started writing film reviews.
After all, the box office on the first day of the Spring Festival is out, and combined with word of mouth, Xiang Fei’s first box office prediction is out.
The title is more likely to attract hatred.
"The Wandering Earth is bound to become the box office champion during the Spring Festival. No other movie will be able to rival it."
This is the title.
Then Xiang Fei first said that there was no need to say much about "The Wandering Earth".
First of all, Xiang Fei has already said a lot about the film reviews of "The Wandering Earth". Secondly, the reputation of "The Wandering Earth" is now rising steadily.
It was precisely because of the two waves of previews of "The Wandering Earth" that led to everyone's recognition of "The Wandering Earth", and then such a change occurred on the first day of the Spring Festival.
"The Wandering Earth" has the highest attendance rate among all the films, and its current reputation is unique.
Almost 85 percent of the people who watched "The Wandering Earth" gave it a positive review.
Secondly, Xiang Fei said that the movie "The World's Number One" will gradually fall out of the first-tier team.
After all, because of the screening schedule and the first day's box office, the box office of "The Under Heaven's Number One" will definitely increase if the screening schedule is only slightly reduced, especially on the second day.
So which movies will be dropped from the Spring Festival schedule first? ?
Don't even consider two of the three animated films, as they will definitely be dropped from the Spring Festival schedule.
The first one is "Old Li Celebrates the New Year". This movie was originally intended to be a revival of Chinese animation. Even before it was released, everyone's expectations for this movie really reached an extreme.
But who could have thought???
This movie was the first to go out.
Following closely behind is the second animated film "Otora: On the Road with Snakes", which is originally an animation for young people. Even if the reputation of "Cat Time Travel Fantasy" has collapsed, people will still go to watch it because of some old fans of this movie and habit.
Two animated films were eliminated first.
What's next?
It is the movie "My Fair Husband". Originally, everyone's requirements for Chen Yi were not high. Everyone even just hoped that Chen Yi could make a family movie.
But it was obvious that Chen Yi had messed up.
kindness.
It's normal to mess up.
Ever since Chen Yi's movies started to fail five years ago, people no longer have high expectations of him, and some even think it's normal for his movies to fail.
For this reason, if everyone thinks the movie "My Fair Husband" is not good, then forget it.
Forget it.
Forget it.
Forget it.
You read that right, the audience didn't even discuss this movie because they thought it was a bad movie and just gave up on it.
What does this mean? ?
This means that the movie has flopped and the audience really doesn’t even have the energy to discuss it.
So under such a situation, this movie will definitely be eliminated.
What is even more despairing than criticizing the movie is that people don’t even want to criticize it.
Apart from "My Fair Husband", "Inspector Gambler" is slightly better, but only slightly better, because this movie also has many shortcomings and is extreme.
But after all, only a minority of people like Hong Kong films nowadays.
In this way, it will depend on whether "Anti-Corruption Bureau Mid-Game" can make a breakthrough by relying on that wave of goodwill.
At the same time, Xiang Fei also talked about the movie "Blind Date", because it was the only movie that surprised him. Xiang Fei even felt that the next movie "Blind Date" might become a dark horse.
That's right.
There aren't that many comedy movies.
Now "My Fair Princess" is about to be eliminated, and two animated films are also going to be eliminated. These extra screenings will definitely be given to "Blind Date" in addition to "The Wandering Earth".
You have to know that "Blind Date" took in more than 40 million at the box office with only 3% of the screening time, which is a miracle in itself.
In this way, everyone will definitely think that "Blind Date" can still fight again.
Xiang Fei thought so, and the media also began to report on it.
The media reported it almost immediately after the box office update.
"The first day champion of the Spring Festival is announced, Chen Feng's "Number One Under Heaven" won the single-day box office championship!!"
"The Wandering Earth grossed 350 million yuan on its first day, and the film was ranked first on the same day!"
"'Blind Date', a movie that was originally thought to be a cannon fodder, may create a box office miracle!"
…
Many media reported on the box office of the Spring Festival.
Of course, among these reports, some media are mainly for making money.
In this regard, Dongyi Film and Television is still the leader.
This is not.
Take a look.
Dongyi Film and Television directly asked all its media to report on "The World's Number One".
Although the reputation of "The World's Number One" has collapsed, its first-day box office has proved itself.
That means your uncle is still your uncle.
Don’t worry about anything else, just talk about the first day of the Spring Festival.
People who are “number one in the world” are awesome.
Under such circumstances, Dongyi Film and Television must of course promote it as much as possible.
For Dongyi Film and Television, it would of course be great if they could cheat another wave of box office revenue on the second day of the Spring Festival.
In addition to Dongyi Film and Television, Huxing Film and Television is even better.
Huxing Film and Television has always placed its hopes on Guo Han. For Huxing Film and Television, they really have no way out.
Although Guo Han’s movie "One Life" doesn’t have a very impressive box office, it has a good reputation.
Having a good reputation means you can make a comeback.
As a result, Tiger Star Films’ publicity also had to keep up.
The box office on the first day of the Spring Festival was so terrible, and the second day was even worse.
All kinds of movies are almost like the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, each with its own magical powers.
At the same time, the investors, producers, and promoters of the movie "Blind Date" were also somewhat confused.
Damn it.
Are we so strong???
Even Ding Yong, the director of "Blind Date", was somewhat unexpected.
He has always been happy to make movies, and he also knows that he does not have much ability. So under such a situation, Ding Yong himself does not have much pursuit.
When making a movie, as long as you don’t lose money, it’s a victory.
For Ding Yong, the pressure from directors like Chen Feng, Guo Han, Chen Yi, and even other directors is completely non-existent.
When Chen Feng was interviewed before, he said that Yao Qing and Yu Xiaoshu were the same type of people, both businessmen, but in fact, Ding Yong and Yao Qing were the same type of people.
Ding Yong is a smart man. He knows what the market is like. At the same time, he is also learning about the market. During the learning process, he filmed "Blind Date".
Then, Ding Yong didn't expect that he would actually make a counterattack.
Is my spring coming?
Ding Yong muttered to himself.
