Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 277 A box office hit?This wave is stable!
"Sir, as of 4.12 noon today, the domestic box office of your movie "Spider-Man" is [-] million yuan (including today's pre-order tickets)."

On the holographic display desktop, today's real-time box office situation was presented in front of Xu Nuo's eyes.

At the same time, Guan Ju is also reporting more important box office information to Xu Nuo, such as how much the box office of "Spider-Man" is today.

Today is the first day of the official release of "Spider-Man". From zero o'clock to now, cinemas in major cities, prefecture-level cities, and counties across the country have been showing "Spider-Man" on a large scale.

Especially in some first-tier and new first-tier big cities, movie theaters are eager to fill up their time and use every screening room.

Because the audience's enthusiasm for buying tickets is so high.

You said it would be fine if there was only one movie, but there are two commercial blockbusters released today. One is a masterpiece invested by Penguin Entertainment, which unexpectedly has a good reputation, and the other is the famous director Xu's " "Spider-Man", this movie is almost a must-see in the cinema for young people.

Before this, the domestic film market was as mediocre as water. There were no blockbuster movies and no blockbusters. Even among the imported Hollywood movies, although there were two, they were not blockbusters and did not create any big waves.

It seems that Hollywood blockbusters in recent years have not been successful in China.

Just when the domestic movie market was relatively flat, Xu Nuo's "Spider-Man" was scheduled to be released, and the movie from Penguin Entertainment was also very popular, which suddenly brought the entire movie market to its knees. fiery.

This made the theater chain bosses extremely happy.

After all, those who open movie theaters naturally want to have great sales every day and have blockbuster movies every month, so that they can make more money.

For Xu Nuo, there was not much consideration in choosing such an ordinary schedule.

Anyway, Xu Nuo’s current movies no longer need to rely on studying the schedule to gain box office, because with Xu Nuo’s current popularity and reputation, and the expectations of the new movie, no matter when it is released, there will be many viewers willing to Take the time to go to the cinema and watch it.

As for the prime time period, the box office of Xu Nuo's movies is generally not low anyway. In China, movies with high box office usually have a secret key extension. One month is now less than a month. The secret key extension is two months. It's nothing new for even longer.

Therefore, even if some people don't have time to go to the cinema to watch "Spider-Man" after "Spider-Man" is released, then the movie will most likely be extended to the prime time period, so that you can have time to watch it during the holidays. Director Xu's masterpiece.

Of course, for a movie with a secret key extension, the most important thing is to be free of piracy!
For example, pirated websites and screen-based dissemination were almost impossible to prevent in the past. Even if no movie resources were leaked, some people would use video equipment to take pictures while watching "Spider-Man". screen, and then disseminate it through online channels.

Some even make a business out of it, selling pirated resources to make money.

But it's different now.

For Xu Nuo's movies and Real Media's movies, it can be said that they are very perfect in terms of anti-theft and infringement protection.

There are almost no pirated manufacturers who dare to spread Xu Nuo’s pirated movie resources, and there are even very few people filming the screen. Even if there are, then relevant Ju will supervise it on the Internet. Once video information related to "Spider-Man" appears , will be locked by Guan Ju immediately.

Then the rest is left to the legal department of Real Group!

Who can afford to offend Real Group’s legal department?

"There are still twelve hours left, and there is still a lot of room for growth. I wonder if the domestic box office on the first day will exceed 10 billion."

Xu Nuo looked at today's real-time box office data and couldn't help but look forward to it.

The box office on the first day exceeds [-] billion, which is almost a particularly difficult threshold. Looking at the entire domestic film industry, you can count on your fingers the number of movies that can earn a box office of [-] billion on the first day of release.

However, this is not an unattainable goal for Xu Nuo, because Xu Nuo has already achieved this goal in his previous movie "Iron Man".

Now it remains to be seen whether "Spider-Man" can achieve this goal.

Xu Nuo feels that it should be realized, otherwise the global box office of 150 billion soft girl coins would be more than 20 billion in U.S. dollars.

Xu Nuo's "Iron Man" grossed more than this.

But whether "Spider-Man" is "Iron Man" after all, first of all, Xu Nuo did not star in it himself, and relatively speaking, it may not be as handsome and cool as Iron Man.

Even so, Xu Nuo is still very confident that his "Spider-Man" can achieve the box office goal of 150 billion.

"Boss, there is still a lot of room for growth in pre-sales. Especially in the evening and evening, there will be a large-scale increase. I think if it exceeds 85 billion on the first day, there should be no big problem. , you can see that the attendance rate is already over [-]%!”

Assistant Wen Ruohan said confidently to boss Xu Nuo.

Judging from the words of assistant Wen Ruohan, it is indeed not a big problem. After all, the proportion of film schedules, number of shows, attendance and ticket prices are all there.

Since "Spider-Man" is a commercial blockbuster, the ticket prices for blockbusters are generally not too low, and there will certainly not be a large number of 19 movie tickets like Xu Nuo's previous movie.

At present, the ticket price of "Spider-Man" is generally in the range of 30 yuan to 50 yuan, 60 yuan.

30元左右的那就是一般的普通3D，四50元的有巨幕、以及部分IMAX3D，而超过50元接近60元的，则是一部比较不错的电影院的IMAX3D的了。

Of course, there are cinemas with ticket prices of RMB 80, 50, or even higher, but generally there are very few of these cinemas, and the reasons for the high prices are comprehensive. Generally speaking, most ticket prices are still around RMB [-]. .

You can spend NT$50 to watch a really big investment made by Director Xu in a movie theater. It is a very exciting movie that is one of the works of the movie universe. It is definitely a profit without losing money.

"Well, it should be stable."

What Xu Nuo is thinking about at the moment is that his goal of earning 150 billion in global box office for this "Spider-Man" is relatively stable.

After all, if the domestic box office can exceed [-] billion on the first day, then the total domestic box office will be several billion easily. It is estimated that it can enter the top five of the domestic box office rankings.

And then add in the overseas box office harvest of "Spider-Man"!
"I took a look and found that our "Spider-Man" is also very popular overseas. It is number one in North America and Japan and South Korea. There seems to be a hit movie in Europe. It has not surpassed it yet, but it should It’s also a matter of time.”

Another reason why Xu Nuo believes that "Spider-Man" should be stable is that the popularity of "Spider-Man" overseas is not lower than that in China.

You must know that the overseas film market is also very huge, and it is not even comparable to that in China.

Xu Nuo's "Spider-Man" has been loved and paid attention by gringos overseas since it was first announced.There are two reasons. One is that the sunny boy and chatty little spider played by Li Cheng is more in line with their European and American character states.

Then there is the fact that this is one of the works of a movie universe. Xu Nuo's movie universe has formed a well-known IP universe around the world.

"Iron Man", "Dragon", "Thor" and "The Incredible Hulk" have all laid a solid foundation for the movie universe.

The second is Xu Nuo's own reputation.

Under the current situation where China is a major force in the world, a large number of domestic film and television entertainment cultures have gone overseas, which has greatly increased the attention of gringos to domestic works.

"Yes, it's stable!"

Wen Ruohan nodded quickly and echoed the boss.

Wen Ruohan thought that today's domestic box office of one billion was stable, but what Xu Nuo said was stable was that the final mission goal of the movie "Spider-Man" was stable.

150 billion box office, it depends on whether it is half a month, a month, or two months.

Xu Nuo felt that about a month was almost enough. After all, after a movie is released, the fastest period of box office is the first month. It can even be said that the first half of the month soared like a rocket, and then If word-of-mouth continues to grow and spread increases again in the second half of the month, there may be a quantitative change.

"Boss, when "Spider-Man" is released, we can't focus all our energy on the box office. Anyway, it seems that it will definitely be a hit at the box office. There are still some things that need to be arranged for you, boss."

When assistant Wen Ruohan came over, in addition to sharing the joy of the box office success of "Spider-Man" with her boss, she naturally had work matters to report to her boss.

In addition to the company's main business projects, there are also some related to the boss's next schedule.

After all, whether at home or abroad, there is an endless stream of invitations and project cooperation for boss Xu Nuo.

As well as some of the real group's business with the Science and Technology Administration, the Space Administration and other domestic companies, when there is progress, Wen Ruohan will inform his boss Xu Nuo as soon as possible.

"Tell me, what are the itineraries that I need to go to?"

Xu Nuo spread his hands and looked at Wen Ruohan and asked.

Anyway, now we just have to wait for "Spider-Man" to hit the global theaters and collect 150 billion in box office to complete the task. Xu Nuo really has to spend more energy on some other more important things.

And Xu Nuo also had to start making some preparations for "The Wandering Earth" that he was going to shoot. For example, in the three days from the premiere of "Spider-Man" to the official release, Xu Nuo was on his smart phone. In the villa base, together with Guan Ju, we drew and designed many "props" needed for the actual filming of "The Wandering Earth".

These props are not only used for the actual shooting of "The Wandering Earth", but will also play a very important role in the development of the moon.

Because the construction of bases on the moon is now in full swing, the mining and collection of mineral resources and helium-[-] resources on the moon in the future will be inseparable from some large-scale mechanical engineering equipment that can adapt to the moon.

At present, the Real Group has been commissioned by the Science and Technology Administration and the Space Administration to build part of the mechanical engineering equipment together with the domestic XCMG Group.

But there are also some that Xu Nuo and Guan Ju designed themselves, related to the movie "The Wandering Earth", and will serve their own real group's lunar development department in the future.

"The University of Science and Technology has invited you, boss, to the third outstanding graduate award ceremony of the Real Foundation of the University of Science and Technology. Shall we go?"

Assistant Wen Ruohan immediately announced some of the upcoming itinerary and asked the boss for his opinion.

If the boss is not willing to go, just cancel it.

"It's an event at my alma mater. And I remember that this foundation's award ceremony for outstanding graduates is also a channel for our real group to recruit talents. Since my alma mater has invited me, I'll go and you can make arrangements."

Xu Nuo nodded and agreed.

"Okay boss, in addition, the space agency has a meeting with our real space department to discuss cooperation on the construction of a lunar base. Boss, will you go there?"

Wen Ruohan asked again.

"Go, this has to go."

Xu Nuo thought for a moment and thought this was a relatively important matter.

Because the next movie I want to shoot, "The Wandering Earth," will need to use our space agency's lunar base as a location for filming and filming.

So Xu Nuo is going to discuss this matter with the Space Administration and Science and Technology Administration, and try to finalize it directly. This way, when Xu Nuo starts to prepare for the filming of "The Wandering Earth", he can make a shooting plan based on the actual situation. .

"Okay, then there is the quantum computer physical machine that you mentioned before, boss. Because of some minor problems with the quantum computer experimental project team, the quantum computer originally planned for our smart villa can only be postponed. , but now the situation there has been resolved, Professor Peng told me that the first quantum computer is now ready, let me ask the boss when can he come over to install it and use it?"

Wen Ruohan said to the boss very calmly.

"Has it been resolved?"

Hearing this, Xu Nuo's eyes immediately flashed with joy.

Last time Xu Nuo went to the quantum computer research center in his real group building, it would have taken about a week to prepare the first practical quantum computer, and then Xu Nuo's large supercomputer could be replaced.

But then there was a small problem at the Quantum Computer Research Center that needed to be solved, and it was delayed until now.

"Yeah, everything is ready."

Wen Ruohan quickly nodded and replied.

"Okay then, just let Professor Peng and the others deliver it directly. No, I will personally bring the set of quantum computer equipment over. Guan Ju, prepare a portable steel suit. Xiaowen, prepare a car!"

Xu Nuo can't wait to use the first-generation quantum computer developed by his real group for the first time.
