Dad's Entertainment Life

Chapter 737 box office and evaluation

"The box office is out." Chen Meng got the news immediately.

A total of five movies were screened in the Beimi area that night. Including the movies that had been released before, a total of eight movies participated in the competition for the Christmas schedule.

Of course, the most competitive are the three blockbuster films of the three giants and Tonghua Entertainment's "Star".

Box office data also fully illustrates this situation.

According to the box office data on the first day, the superhero blockbuster of Manfei Company led the audience with a box office of more than 4000 million yuan.

This is completely understandable. Manfei started with comics, and their superhero comics can be said to have grown up with most children, and they have a very deep mass base, just like Monkey King, who is a popular big IP in itself.

In addition, this time, Manfei has launched a brand new hero very innovatively. What kind of performance this popular hero in comics will perform on the big screen attracts everyone's attention.

Therefore, after the movie announced its Christmas schedule, many movie fans were looking forward to the movie's release. It didn't need too much publicity to get the most attention. It became a matter of course that the box office led the audience on the first day. up.

This result has actually surprised many people. You must know that many public opinion media have previously predicted that the box office of this movie on the first day has reached 6000 million yuan.

After all, Manfei once set a first-day box office record of 1.567 million yuan at the first-day box office. As a brand new hero movie, 6000 million should be achievable.

The result was only more than 4000 million, which is still some distance from everyone's prediction.

In the position of No.2, the name of "Stars" unexpectedly appeared, and the box office on the first day was 500 million yuan, which is not a small distance from Manfei's results.

But this result has greatly exceeded the expectations of Chen Meng and others.

In their plan, under the pressure of three blockbuster films, the box office data on the first day of "Star" may not be very good. It should be ranked after the three blockbuster films. No. 4 is already a good result.

What they can expect is that "Stars" will surpass other films in the later stage by relying on its novel plot and brilliant special effects.

Unexpectedly, it was ranked No.2 on the first day, and the box office reached 500 million. It has to be said that this is a happy accident.

No.3 is Warner's war blockbuster, with a box office of 2000 million yuan, which is also a good result.

No.4 is Disney's animated film, with a box office of only 1000 million yuan, which should be a rather disappointing result.

But it is the only animated movie among all the movies, and the audience does not conflict with other movies, so this Christmas schedule should have a good result.

After all, everyone is happy to take their children to watch animated movies during the holidays.

Another newly released movie comes from a film company that is also quite famous. Although it cannot be compared with several film giants, it has produced many high-grossing movies and has many fans.

The movie they made this time is a movie with both funny and disaster elements, which is very suitable for the Christmas schedule, so this time they will be confidently scheduled for the Christmas schedule.

Their filming rate is not too low.

It's a pity that after the results came out, people were surprised. The box office of only 500 million was obviously not enough to meet their expectations, because their investment was far more than that.

Under the suppression of these films, other films have had very dismal results.

Although Christmas has become the most important golden time of the year without any suspense because of the month-long holiday, everyone is also willing to go to the cinema to watch movies at this time.

However, the market is relatively limited. Four films occupy most of the schedule, and other films are naturally squeezed a lot of space, and the box office figures that come out are naturally somewhat unsatisfactory.

After reading the box office data, Chen Meng heaved a long sigh of relief. Twenty-five million yuan, in exchange for Huaxia coins, would be over 500 million yuan, a very good result.

And this is just the box office data of Beimi. With this benchmark, this time "Stars" will be released globally simultaneously, and it will definitely achieve excellent results.

Maybe "Stars" can really wrestle with Manfei's superhero blockbuster all over the world.

Lin Qirong did not have too many surprises. The plot is the real history of the civilization where the system is located. There is no need to question its rationality and excitement. The live-action shooting makes the equipment such as starships, space fighters and the subsequent war scenes have a very strong shocking effect. The actors Their modeling and acting skills are also very good.

The most important thing is that they spent a lot of money and time on special effects, and kept improving when the technology was in place, so that they could have such a wonderful sci-fi movie.

So being able to achieve such a result is also a matter of course.

"It seems that our propaganda has worked." He said with a smile.

This time they really put a lot of effort into publicity. Half of the main creative team came to the Beimi area, ran from big city to big city, participated in one program after another, and constantly promoted their movie.

Chen dreamed of a painful publicity trip, and when he thought of the contempt and ridicule of the film by the host and other guests, he felt aggrieved.

But this kind of experience, in exchange for today's results, everything doesn't matter.

What's more, such a result is the best slap in the face for those who look down on "The Stars" and them. Those people must look very embarrassed now, and she seems to be able to hear the crackling sound.

Moreover, they created a space capsule with a sense of technology and put it in various movie theaters for many audiences to experience.

This is not an ordinary model. It needs to use a lot of high technology, and the cost is not usually high. They invested so much, which shows how high the cost is.

But it's all worth it.

Because of these promotional methods, "Stars" successfully occupied the No. 2 box office on the first day of its premiere, achieving an excellent result of 500 million yuan.

And with the word-of-mouth effect, this movie will attract more and more audiences to watch, and the box office will get higher and higher.

Chen Meng has no doubts about such a result, because she has absolute confidence in Lin Qirong.

From the first work of their cooperation "Don't Talk to Strangers", she watched Lin Qirong step by step to reach today's height and achieve today's achievements.

In the past, she could give him the opportunity to cooperate like a charity, but now she is just a member of the Tonghua Group.

She has never seen failure in him. When faced with difficulties, he always seems to have a way to overcome them, whether in China or the United States.

"The propaganda should be further strengthened." Lin Qirong didn't know what she was thinking, and continued to express his opinion.

"We are currently in a very good situation. If the publicity is effective, there will be a wave of climax in the future. It would be a pity to waste it."

"Do you still want to?" Chen Meng looked at Lin Qirong in surprise.

"Why not?" Lin Qirong shrugged, "It is undeniable that it is a giant, but as far as this movie is concerned, we have an advantage.

First of all, we are sci-fi movies. Hard core and special effects are the biggest selling points. We have enough confidence in this, so this is also our biggest advantage.

I watched the movie in front of us, and it was not as amazing as I imagined. It may make some comic fans or fans of this type of movie full of praise, but from a neutral and objective movie fan, this The movie just doesn't have enough oomph.

It's okay if there are no other competitors, the key is that it has our opponent, and it's hard to say who will win in the end. "

Everyone else opened their mouths. In fact, everyone is very satisfied with this result, but Lin Qirong is still not satisfied. He only wants to kill the previous superhero movie and sit on the championship.

It's not that Tonghua Group's movies have never been the top ratings champions in the United States. The original "Kung Fu Panda 2" once blew up the panda whirlwind, and no one can stop it.

But that was during the summer vacation, and there were not so many strong opponents among the opponents.

Now is the Christmas schedule, the most important golden schedule in the Beimi area every year, and at the same time, the opponent is still a huge production of the three major Hollywood movie giants, especially this superhero blockbuster, which is even more of a behemoth.

Under such circumstances, Lin Qirong still insisted on his goal and made everyone feel excited.

"Why don't you try?" Ayimu said with his eyes shining brightly, "Anyway, increasing publicity is beneficial to us, isn't it? If it succeeds, then we will capture the Beimi film market during the golden time of Christmas, and If it doesn’t work, we won’t suffer, right? At least the box office can go up a lot.”

Everyone nodded, yes, what's the point of trying?They can afford to lose, but what if they win?That should make a huge splash.

They Huaxia Movies can feel proud.

"Then do it like this." Chen Meng nodded fiercely, "I will find a way to increase the publicity later. The most important thing after the release is word-of-mouth and public opinion guidance. We have to work hard on this."

Lin Qirong smiled and said, "I trust you in this, and I will also find someone to help, talk to us more.

But one thing is different from Huaxia, we don't look for sailors, don't promote unnecessary things, everything starts from the movie itself, analyzing the content, analyzing hard-core technology, analyzing special effects and even analyzing acting skills, actors' looks, music, etc. Yes, but you can't find someone to lead the rhythm, at least don't pour water.

The audience here hates fakes. "

"I know that there are still many differences between here and Huaxia, but some methods are still common, such as the media." Chen Meng laughed.

"Yes." Lin Qirong nodded.

The quality of the movie itself is guaranteed, and it is much easier to promote it.

Snowflakes are falling outside the window, which adds a bit of meaning to this Christmas Eve. The laughter and music from a distance make people feel the strong Christmas Eve atmosphere.

At this time, the time has reached twelve o'clock, and Christmas is here.

"Merry Christmas." Lin Qirong smiled and laughed with the people in the room, "Please continue to work hard and let this movie become the biggest Christmas gift for everyone."

"Merry Christmas."

Everyone laughed.

Spending Christmas in a foreign country is indeed a very special experience.
