my time as a director

When I think of it, I can't help but shudder.

"What else can I think? Use your brain to think about it. At that time, I was planning to shoot. No matter how exciting it was, I thought of sawing hands. However, Guo Fan still edited some bloody scenes in the theater."

"It's too scary. I've seen some Hollywood bloody horror movies, but none of them are so scary."

Li Qian smiled and said, "That's different. Those bloody horror movies in Hollywood are even a bit disgusting, but this one cut off my own hand in a desperate situation, that's the real horror."

......

In 127 hours, 18 screenings were held in 50 cities across the country on Friday, 50th. The average number of people per game was not many. After all, it was a suspense movie, a niche movie, and it was not directed by Li Qian himself, but only as a producer. .

An average of 55 people per game, with less than 40 attendance during prime time on Friday nights.

That's low, but high for a movie that cost less than a million to make.

Attendance was low, but screenings on Saturday will continue as usual.

In order to get the screenings in prime time in good locations, the box office of the screenings gave the cinema 10 extra points. Anyway, there are not many screenings, and the screenings on Friday are only more than 8 yuan.

However, some viewers who watched the screening on Saturday mentioned this movie.

Attendance per game also rose on Saturday and averaged 70 on Sunday.

The new four-day workday does not hold screenings. After all, it is a niche film, and the audience on weekdays has dropped sharply, which has affected the attendance rate of the screenings. The three-day screenings will continue on Friday, Saturday and weekend.

By the second weekend, after word of mouth spread, the average number of people per game had reached 98 people per game!

The screenings are all in halls with good locations. On average, each hall has about 60 to [-] seats, and the attendance rate has reached [-].

Although not high, great progress has been made.

After six days of screening, it has already won nearly 35 box office.

Compared with the production cost of less than one million, it is already considerable.

However, the biggest achievement is that word-of-mouth of the film has begun to spread. Many of the approximately 11 viewers who have watched the film have spontaneously promoted the film.

"I strongly recommend 127 hours. It's the best suspense film of the year so far. The part that saw the hand scared me to death. I almost didn't dare to watch it!"

"It's the same recommendation, I also watched some movies, the sawing part is really awesome, it's okay to cut off an arm with a machete or an axe, maybe I can do it if I'm in a hurry, the key is to have it broken by Mr. Bones, then use a knife to cut bit by bit, this is too scary, too awesome!"

"I watched it the day before yesterday, and it really shocked me. I felt like I was there all the time. Every struggle, every time I cut a stone, every time I drank water, every time I shouted, every time I drank my urine, that kind of helplessness Help, suffocation, and despair are all deeply engraved in my heart!"

"I always thought that the two women at the beginning would save the male lead, but I didn't expect it to be a soy sauce character. In the end, I cut off my hand with a knife. How cruel!"

"What movie are you talking about, what Sawhand?"

"127 hours, produced by Li Qian, starring Deng Chao, Deng Chao's acting skills are really good, I'm afraid of it."

"Didn't it say it will be released on the 31st? I'm going to watch it. I'll watch Jaws: Revenge on the 30th. I'll watch it on the 31st. Why did it come out?"

"It's an on-demand screening. Last weekend and last weekend, some places had some screenings. Our downtown movie theater only ordered one screening a week."

"Quickly tell me, what is this movie about, what about sawing hands?"

"Let me tell you, I couldn't bear the spoiler for a long time. Deng Chao's outdoor adventure was suppressed by a rock, and he was trapped in a mountain crevice for 127 hours. It was the same as the title of the film. Then he used a jackknife at the end to kill him." Little by little, I cut off my own hands."

"I'm going, really? It's too cruel!"

"Warnima! So that's what the title of the film means."

"I didn't want to watch it at first, but now that I read what you said, I want to watch it again."

"It's definitely worth watching. This movie has great warning significance. Looking at our current life, we will also encounter stones that hinder us, but it should not be as big as him. Most of us have intact limbs and healthy bodies. Only when we are cornered can you exert your full strength, live hard, work hard from now on, don’t wait until there is nowhere to go before working hard!”

......

After 127 hours and six days of screenings, word of mouth has already exploded.

Although it was a small-scale explosion, it was only because the movie was too niche. Within the scope of certain suspense and horror movie lovers, the word-of-mouth exploded.

After so many days, the film market has also changed.

Chibi broke [-] million in eleven days after its release, and the box office in the second week was infinitely close to [-] million.

However, in the third week, that is, the week that just passed, because word of mouth was not very good, there were only 4800 million in a single week, a drop of more than 50.

We must know that last year's annual Chinese movie box office champion assembly number fell by less than 40% in the third week.

But breaking 5000 million is still no problem, just short of the last [-] million.

Chibi has also been released for more than half a month. With the promotion of Jaws and 127 hours of word-of-mouth screenings, these two films have gradually gained a certain degree of attention, so they will not be ignored.

At 29 pm on the 6th, the premiere ceremony of Jaws was held again at UME Huaxing Cinemas.

Li Qian has also been busy with grading and soundtrack in the studio for half a month, and only the final dubbing and post-production rendering are left.

I still have to attend the premiere ceremony, after all, it is a movie I invested in.

"Director Li, congratulations, the movie 127 Hours has a very good reputation, and the box office is also doing a lot."

Wang Changtian is in a good mood recently. There are no other movies in the summer except Chibi. Now that Chibi has been released for 20 days, it is entering the late stage. The next mainland movie market will be Jaws: Revenge and 127 Hours.

As the publisher, it is equivalent to Guangxian occupying the entire August market!

"127 Hours is a suspense movie after all, and it doesn't have touching family support like the frequency of life and death. The audience is too small, and the box office will not be too high."

Li Qian is not so optimistic. The film 127 Hours has a good audience reputation, but there are still a small number of audiences who like to watch this type of movie, and even a few are willing to spend money.

Even if the whole city is full of bad movies like the golden armor, they can still reap a large box office amidst the scolding. This is the power of blockbuster movies. Even if the reputation is not good, some audiences will buy it.

It’s not easy to get audiences to pay for tickets. For general drama, suspense, and action movies, there are only a small number of audiences who are willing to spend money. There are no big scenes, famous directors, and superstars.

Wang Changtian didn't care, and laughed loudly, "No matter how much it sells at the box office, 127 hours is a big hit. It's because Director Li has a good vision and picked a good director."

"There are many capable people, and some are just short of a chance." Li Qian smiled.

After chatting for a while, the premiere ceremony began.

Li Qian also went on stage and said a few words casually, but still handed over the stage to Qi Yukun.

It was the first time to participate in the premiere ceremony, and he participated as the director and the absolute protagonist. Qi Yukun was inevitably a little nervous.

However, the two hosts on stage, Xie Yuan and Liu Yan, are also outstanding among the younger generation of entertainment hosts, and they still have the ability to control the stage.

Immediately afterwards, the film began to show.

Jaws: Revenge is similar to the routine of the first part. Every time the village chief and the resort owner don't believe, or don't want to believe that there are sharks, and they threaten the protagonist in various ways.
