I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"Do you think you can achieve what you say you want?"

Feng Yu asked.

"it should be OK."

Lu Bing nodded.

Judging from the pre-sales, the domestic "Magic Tide" is absolutely crushing. The first day's lineup reached 30.00%.

As for "Deadly Speed ​​11", the domestic film schedule is 20.00%, and the pre-sale box office is close to [-] million.

The main reason is that the zero o'clock premiere of "Deadly Speed" is based on North American time, so it can only be seen at noon in China, which reduces the box office of the first day.

However, in foreign countries, the first-day lineup of "Deadly Speed ​​11" is much higher than that of "Magic Tide", reaching 40.00% three, while "Magic Tide" only has 17.00%, and the pre-sale box office difference between the two is about five times.

Judging from the global pre-sale box office, the first-day score of "Fatal Speed ​​11" should be around [-] million, and "Magic Tide", coincidentally, should also hover around this.

The gap between the two is hard to see, and no one knows who will win until the last moment.

Because there are enough movies announced in the early stage, most of the box office on the first day represents the peak, so the battle on the first day also represents the first confrontation between the two.

In North America, some media called it the ultimate showdown, calling on people to come out of their homes and go to the cinema to watch movies. It is hard not to think that there are theaters behind the scenes.

But no matter who wins on the first day, the theaters will make a lot of money, because this means that on Christmas day alone, there will be more than one billion domestic box office. trip.

"However, there is nothing to say about the box office on the first day. To achieve a record-breaking box office, it is not enough to rely on normal moviegoers."

Lu Jian is very clear that some movies are extremely high on the first day, but plummet from the second day, just like energy stocks that have been cut in half, not necessarily because of the quality, but because these movies are enough to watch once, no one Go to the cinema for the second time, or the third time, and those who should see it will watch it as soon as possible, and those who don't want to watch it will not bother to go until it is released.

But if you really want to break the record, you need the spread of word of mouth, you need details, you need audiences who watch movies again and again, and you need to let more people who didn't go to the cinema to watch movies before come in.

Can "Magic Tide" do it?

===318. Upper limit===

At eleven o'clock, Jiangcheng Cinema.

The largest screening hall is already full of audiences, they are waiting for the release of "Magic Tide", which has been announced for several months and belongs to the Chinese people.

After the theater manager and the president of the Jiangcheng Film Association delivered speeches, it was time for Lu Yi to speak.

He didn't wear any purple suit, only a long trench coat, and took the microphone.

"Good evening, viewers. I'm Lu Juan, the director of "Magic Tide". In fact, I think many people may think in their minds now, 'You should hurry up and start showing the movie', so I will say it briefly."

Lu Jian's words aroused good-natured laughter from the audience, and he continued.

"The plot of this movie is very simple. It is just a world where people save themselves in the face of disasters. Although there are fancy special effects and various settings, the ideas embodied in the movie are actually the same as what we have seen in our daily life. .”

He took two steps forward and saw the young people sitting in the front row. These young people were probably about the same age as Birmingham. They were happy to grow up in a peaceful and safe environment without worrying about being attacked by monsters.

But maybe in the future, when exotic monsters invade the world, they will also take up arms and fight like in the movie.

"That is, the human will will not succumb to natural disasters, wild animals, floods and earthquakes. When these disasters happen, we will help each other and tide over the difficulties together. Anything that tries to threaten civilization will be stopped by us. Maybe one day, The scenes in the movie will appear in reality, and at that time, I hope that the thoughts presented in this movie can support you to persevere, this is my little wish."

Hearing what Lu Jian said, many people didn't think deeply about it. It was all said by Lu Jian for the sake of everyone's sense of substitution. After all, although there are such natural disasters in this world, the things presented in the movie will definitely not appear. It's all just fantasy.

"Finally, I hope everyone can enjoy the movie. If you are satisfied, you can watch it a few more times. I don't mind."

Amidst the audience's laughter, Lu Jian returned the microphone and walked off the stage.

"People always feel that the danger is far away from them."

In the darkness, Feng Yu smiled.

"Death doesn't come when you're ready."

Lu Jian replied.

"The matter in the Western Pacific is temporarily high, but maybe this world is now visited by God's Chosen from other foreign lands, maybe some of them have been to the abandoned capital, the wasteland, the kingdom of the night and the island, then as long as they see me Movies, you can recognize my identity, so you can find me directly."

There is no way for Lu Jian to find all the hostile God-Chosen who came to this world by himself, so as long as his works are known to everyone, anyone who comes to this world can see them anywhere, then, They will soon know the identity of Lu Jian and find him.

Although there is no such theory that the chosen ones will attract each other, what Lu Jian does will make the chosen ones move closer to his position, thereby protecting other people.

The movie has already started, and in the familiar black forest, music is playing.

Lu Jian didn't leave, but went to the box upstairs with Feng Yu and watched the movie carefully.

Just after playing the cast list, Lu Jian saw that Feng Yu's face was still shedding tears.

Passing the tissue to her, Lu Jian didn't ask any more questions.

Feng Yu will become a traveler, traveling in endless time and space, and he must have some difficulties.

After Feng Yu wiped away his tears, the two put on their masks and left the box.

At this time, the audience who had just watched the premiere had not dispersed yet, and the second wave of audience gathered in the hall. It was clearly past one o'clock in the morning, but it was like the most bustling and bustling prime time, and the crowd was surging.

The audience who watched the movie gathered together, whether they knew each other or not, they were all discussing the plot enthusiastically.

"The level of this movie is too high. I even had the illusion of watching a movie for the first time. The images of the forest and the wolves are simply invincible."

"The images of mages burning themselves to light up the flames are too strong. I don't know how to describe it. I feel that I have seen the true spirit of selfless dedication of human beings. In comparison, the plot of a person who is so cool and saves the world is like It's not that cool anymore!"

"I think it's like what Director Lu said before, although this movie looks like a multicultural exchange, in fact it is actually the spiritual core of our country itself. It is not afraid of hardships and dangers and forges ahead. Seeing such a spiritual manifestation in the film, there is a strong sense of resonance."

"Today, I'm bored watching the premiere. Now that I close my eyes, I can still feel the storm-surrounded fortress and the flickering torches. Don't say it, it's a bit cold."

"Is this movie really special effects? Those scenes are too real. If it weren't for the dead people, I thought it was a real scene. No, no, those wolves must be special effects. I feel that these pictures alone Worth the price of admission.”

"Woooooh, my Birmingham, such a cute little boy"

"Am I the only one who noticed the acting skills of the actors in this movie, especially in the fortress, in the small town, where dozens of people appear on the screen at the same time, those actors are too dedicated, it feels like real It’s like living in the movie world.”

"I don't think there are any spoilers for this movie, but there are many details worth noting. It is estimated that there will be a second look."

"Looking at such a difficult environment in the movie, think about us now and cherish our present!"

"This movie should have the same world view as the previous interactive video, and the female mage who appeared before. In this way, what is the composition of the Kingdom of the Night, how did the spells come from, and what are these magic waves? How did it come here, I feel like I can study it.”

Many people are discussing this movie, and at the same time, these audiences have not forgotten to rate "Magic Tide". It can be seen that in the short ten minutes after the premiere, "Magic Tide" appeared in the ticketing app. "The number of people who rated it quickly exceeded 99, and the rating was [-]!

The ratings in the ticket buying app are not like some websites where you can score at will. Only those who have bought tickets are eligible to give ratings. This is a genuine user evaluation.

Usually a good movie has a score of eight to nine, which is slightly higher than that of the scoring website, but a score of 99 is rare.

What is even more exaggerated is that there is no 10-point work in this app by default. In other words, even if everyone scores 10 points, the score will still show 99!

For many movies, the reason for getting 99 points is because the quality has reached 99 points, but for Lu Jian's "Magic Tide", the reason for getting 99 points is because the upper limit is only 99 points! ! !

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===319. Opening champagne at halftime===

Unlike its overwhelming advantage in China, the box office situation of "Magic Tide" is not optimistic overseas, especially in North America.

First of all, as an old series, "Deadly Speed ​​11" has many loyal fans in North America, and the end of the series is full of gimmicks. It can be said that if there is no "Magic Tide", then this year's box office champion in North America will be nothing. The doubt will be "Fatal Speed ​​11".

Secondly, this movie is the finale of the series, but it does not mean that the actors and producers will stop making it. They already have plans for similar racing-themed movies. This movie is the end, but it is not the end. Therefore, Box office matters a lot.

In addition, "Magic Tide" is a fantasy epic theme. This theme is not the most popular even in Europe and the United States. Just like domestic audiences, there are also audiences who look at ancient costume martial arts and fairy tales, and foreign audiences feel sick when they look at knight armor. Especially in North America, where there is no sense of history, the stories around me are more attractive than those distant fantasy. North America itself has a car culture, and the first car for young people is very important. In terms of subject matter, "Deadly Speed ​​11" is dominant.

Finally, the amount of films scheduled is flawed.

"Deadly Speed ​​11" had 40.00% of the first-day screenings in North America, while "Magic Tide" only had 17.00%, and there was a gap of 30.00%. This does not mean that quality or word of mouth can make up for it.

If the total box office on Christmas Day in North America is 11 million U.S. dollars, then the upper limit of "Fatal Speed ​​2" is more than 8000 million U.S. dollars, and the upper limit of "Magic Tide" is [-] million U.S. dollars.

This can be seen from the pre-sale box office. The pre-sale box office of "Fatal Speed ​​11" on the first day is close to 2000 million US dollars, while "Magic Tide" is less than [-] million.

North American audiences still lack confidence in "Magic Tide".

A few hours after "Magic Tide" was released in Jiangcheng, New York in North America also ushered in zero o'clock.

Two highly-anticipated movies arrived as promised.

The New York Times even set up a special web page for the box office competition between the two, updating the box office results of the two films in real time.

And just after zero o'clock, when the first game ended, "Deadly Speed ​​11" led by a huge advantage.

In fact, anyone who knows a little bit about the movie box office can see that under such a disparity in the film schedule, "Magic Tide" will definitely not surpass "Deadly Speed ​​11". The champion on the first day is 11% "Deadly Speed ​​[-]" .

At night in North America, 24 hours later, according to the website of the New York Times, the North American box office of "Fast 11" was 3000 million US dollars, while "Magic Tide" was 4000 million US dollars.

The special feature studio was presented on the NASDAQ screen, and a hostess and two guests talked about the two films.

"I think what "Magic Tide" lacks is the portrayal of heroes. In the whole movie, we can only see the struggle of ordinary people. We can't see a hero, an extraordinary person who surpasses everyone. There are only martyrs, and there are no heroes. A movie has no purpose, and that's where it fails."

A guest commented.

"In contrast, "Deadly Speed ​​11" focuses on the relationship between the protagonist and his family. Compared with the relationship between people and the world, those emotions that are too large, or the emotions between family members, are more touching. That's what made Speed ​​11 so successful."

Another guest added.

And the hostess wearing glasses looked at the audience after hearing the comments of the two guests.

"After listening to the views of the two guests, I have something special to say at this exciting time."

She stood up, walked to one side, and in front of the screen showing the real-time box office of "Deadly Speed ​​11" and "Magic Tide", she opened her mouth and said vividly.

"It's crazy what's happening right now, right here in New York, Times Square, it's unprecedented, let me be specific, I want to talk to you about success, success is all about growth, succession, continuation, about family."

"If you want to succeed, you must defeat yourself and the glory you have won. If you want to succeed, you must be able to stand up after being knocked down countless times. No one is better than the team of "Fatal Speed". can explain it all.”

"Cyril, he is one of the most box office action movie actors in North America and the world, but despite his track record, he never achieved his dream of being the number one box office of the year, but he never gave up. .”

"Looking back, a few years ago, the box office of "Deadly Speed" was suppressed by the superhero series of movies until six years ago, when the highest-grossing film in the series was born. In that summer, nothing could stop Cyril and his "Deadly Speed", even those superheroes who are mass-produced by cannery have been defeated by him."

"But as we all know later, in the autumn, two films in succession made him miss the chance to become the annual box office champion. There will be no chance."

"After that, there were those popcorn superhero movies again, one after another, blocking him like a mountain, and he and his "Deadly Speed", did not stop fighting, in the last one Works, he finally defeated his demons, defeated a superhero movie, and now?"

"We are wrapping up the first day of the most luxurious Christmas season. Before the release, "Deadly Speed" was criticized by critics. They thought that Cyril and his racing movies had shown their decline. Kizuna, this director from the East, claims to get the top five box office in film history."

"But so far, we haven't seen the amazing quality of the legendary "Magic Tide", we haven't seen the wonderful performance that Lu Yi brought to the audience, but what we have seen is Cyril and his amazing The racing skills bring the audience an audio-visual feast."

"Everything has come to this day, the day when the box office ends on the first day, demons can be overcome, dreams can be realized, and Cyril and his "Deadly Speed" will prove his strength to the world, and Lu Juan With his "Magic Tide", it will be the best background board on this road to victory."
