Chapter 92: The Movie Comes Out (2/2)
Ma Xiaoyang is 26 years old and is the front-end of an IT company.
Last month, he just broke up with his girlfriend who had been in love for three years, because the two parties reached the age of talking about marriage, but the woman's parents were not satisfied with him, so they refused to marry their daughter to him.
And his girlfriend did not have the determination to spend her life with him, so she chose to obey her parents and left Ma Xiaoyang.
The sad Ma Xiaoyang resigned and locked himself in a rental house, playing games and drinking every day, and was in a mess.
Today, he was playing a game of Genting as usual, while drinking to kill his sorrows.
When people are unlucky, they are easy to be bullied even when they play games, and the dealer does not give what cards you want.
Sending the eighth away is basically a drop in three innings and a drop in three innings, which makes people explode.
The angry Ma Xiaoyang directly uninstalled the game and opened Weibo to read some 'heart (poison) spirit chicken soup' to nourish the wounds in his heart.
However, today's Weibo headlines are dominated by new information related to the entertainment industry.
First of all, the promotional film of "Ling Jian" is coming, and eight well-known directors are trying to innovate and integrate eight styles into one film, opening the era of 'fusion style' of films.
The second is that the plot of the movie "Mood Inn" reflects reality, and topics such as "who is the final winner between the prophet and the witch" have aroused widespread discussion among netizens.
Ma Xiaoyang first took a look at the promotional video of "Ling Jian".
He was looking forward to this movie when it first started filming, because Zhao Guan, one of the eight directors, is a new generation director he likes very much, so he will generally support as long as it is a film directed by Zhao Guan.
After watching the three-minute promotional film, Ma Xiaoyang felt that this movie was very good, the whole film was full of strong martial arts style, and it made people feel surging to watch, and they couldn't wait to become a chivalrous man in the film and fight the sword world.
The movie is a good movie.
It's a pity that the person who accompanied him to the movie is gone.
With a light sigh, Ma Xiaoyang turned off the trailer and clicked on the hot search about "Mood Inn".
With the movie still three days to go, "Mood Inn" also released their trailer trailer, but unlike "Ling Jian", the trailer of "Mood Inn" is a bit bad.
The three-minute trailer does not have a fight, either the rich businessman inexplicably came to Embroidery Town to engage in real estate development, or the villagers of Embroidery Town brandished silver and ran to Hexi to buy a house, or the sisters in the mood inn exchanged daily lives.
Throughout the film, except for the costumes, backgrounds and props that belong to the category of ancient martial arts, you can't feel a trace of martial arts charm in it.
"What the hell is it? ”
Ma Xiaoyang complained, then poured a glass of wine and was about to turn off the web interface, but he accidentally scrolled the mouse, pulled the interface down, and saw some comments from netizens.
"I always feel that it may not be the prophet's prophecy that came true, it is very likely that the witch exported poison and helped a wave of prophets in reverse. ”
"Your topic is not valid, if the witch exports into poison, then why are the housing prices still rising?"
"But the rich businessman who sucks blood is dead? Isn't there Tong Xiangyu in the trailer cursing the rich businessman who sucks blood to die?"
"That's right! I just saw a rich businessman hanging, but I don't know if he committed suicide. ”
"It's certainly not that the witch is poisonous, but the good prophesied by the prophet is true, you see the first wave of prayers for nobles to come to the embroidery town, but the next day the rich merchants came, thinking that the house prices would rise, the cows would rise, and as a result, the house prices and the cows rose. ”
"I also think, don't forget that the younger sister is the heroine in this movie, and the older sister is only the second female. ”
"That's right, and don't you think the beef in Azure City has also been predicted to have risen in price?"
"Do you know that it wasn't because the witch poisoned those cattle that the cattle were in short supply and the beef price was rising?"
A lot of inexplicable comments made Ma Xiaoyang a little confused, how could he be a prophet and a witch?
Puzzled, he watched the trailer again, and then combined with the comments of netizens, he understood.
It turns out that the reason why netizens will discuss the topic of 'prophets and witches' under this movie is because there is a plot in the movie that just happened to come true, which attracted widespread attention and discussion.
What can my sister really say what can be achieved?
My sister is really cursed or something, and she is unlucky?
Ma Xiaoyang didn't believe it.
A movie is a movie, fake and magical.
"There are three days left before the beginning of winter, and two movies will be released, otherwise let's watch them all. ”
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoyang took out his mobile phone and bought movie tickets for two movies on the Tao Cinema APP, ready to take a look at these two works.
……
Time flies.
With the beginning of winter approaching, netizens are also full of expectations for these two upcoming movies.
Of course, the data shows that although "Mood Inn" is not inferior to the movie "Ling Jian" in the discussion topics of Weibo, Tieba and forums, the public's expectations for "Ling Jian" are far higher than "Mood Inn".
This can be seen from the opening of online pre-sales of the movie the day before the beginning of winter.
On November 6, the pre-sale box office of "Lingjian" reached 1200w.
The pre-sale box office of "Mood Inn" is only 300w.
The difference between the two advance box office is exactly 4 times.
The gap in advance box office also has a direct impact on the allocation of theaters to their premiere schedules.
On the day of the beginning of winter, in addition to "Ling Jian" and "Mood Inn", there is also a "Youth Invincible" movie released in the country, plus the huge popularity of the two movies for more than a month, the theater divided most of the films to these three movies.
In the end, on the first day of the film schedule, "Ling Jian" accounted for 35% of the film schedule.
"Mood Inn" accounted for 12% of the film schedule.
"Invincible Youth" occupies 25% of the film schedule.
The remaining 27 percent is divided among other movies released on Halloween.
Judging from the film schedule, "Ling Jian" almost crushed "Mood Inn".
As for whether the final outcome will be the same, we will only know after the box office comes out.
……
On Saturday, November 7th, one of the 24 solar terms inherited from the ancient Chinese country, the beginning of winter also means entering the cold season, and the Chinese people should pay attention to wearing more clothes and keeping warm to prevent winter colds.
On this day, it is also the official confrontation between the two movies "Ling Jian" and "Mood Inn".
Morning.
Major theaters in China have ushered in a wave of good movie-watching traffic, which is the feedback income brought by the two movies on the Internet in the early stage.
If there is no fighting link, it will not be able to arouse the desire of so many fans to watch two movies.
Yunhai International Cinema.
Jiang Bei stood in the huge cinema, watching groups of fans go to the counter to buy tickets and self-service ticket machines to get tickets, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Liang Liang stood aside and stomped his legs, his hands in his trouser pockets, looking around with a mask on his face, and inadvertently saw that his brother seemed to be a little nervous, so he comforted him: "Brother, don't worry." I've heard it all, most of them went to buy tickets for "Ling Jian", and there were few people watching our movies. ”
"That's what I said, but as long as the results don't come out, I'm always unsure. Jiangbei sighed lightly and said.
After experiencing the last failure, even if he thought that the victory was in his hands this time, he was a little worried about capsizing, which is probably the so-called 'sequelae of failure'.
"What are you afraid of? How can it be so easy to make a good movie? With so many movies being released in China a year, who doesn't want to make a good movie? But don't the vast majority of them still hit the streets? What's more, this movie is under our control from beginning to end, don't worry, it won't be popular. After Liang Liang finished speaking, he put his little head against Jiangbei's back and pushed him towards the theater: "Let's go, the movie is about to be released." ”
……
The film still hasn't premiered.
Propaganda has also been done very little.
But the attendance for the first game was barely 40 percent.
This is still the heat brought by the fight, even though everyone is full of disapproval of this movie, but there are still a small number of fans who will come to watch it under the huge base.
This more or less relieved Jiangbei.
"Today's attendance seems to be okay. Li Youqing glanced at the audience sitting behind him and said with satisfaction.
"I really don't know where you got your confidence, the "Lingjian" next door is now full. ”
There is an opportunity to hit his wife, and Jiangbei will naturally not miss it.
"So what? We only invested 8 million in this movie, and as long as it can exceed 50 million at the box office, it will be considered a success. And "Lingjian" has invested 50 million, and there is no 200 million that will not lose them!" Li Youqing retorted stiffly.
50 million box office?
It's like a dream.
Maybe Li Youqing himself felt a little difficult, but after being proud, he regained his composure, and quietly leaned into his ear and whispered: "Otherwise, our previous agreement will be null and void, right?"
"Want to regret it?" Jiang Bei asked with a frown.
"I don't want you to be irritated. ”
"Are you afraid that I will be stimulated or that you are afraid of losing?" Jiang Bei sneered.
Li Youqing pouted and glanced left and right.
Director Hai Dapang was talking excitedly with Producer Li, Liang Liang was sitting alone fighting the landlord, and some other crew members were also doing their own things, but except for Hai Dapang, the expressions on everyone's faces were more or less nervous.
Obviously, the popularity of "Lingjian" next door has brought them a lot of psychological pressure.
In fact, Li Youqing himself is the same.
In fact, since the moment "Mood Inn" and "Ling Jian" announced the fight, she was a little worried that the movie would hit the street after its release. It's just that at that time, the arrow had to be sent, and there was no turning back. In addition, there is also a spirit of not admitting defeat and blindly believing in Mr. Twilight's script, so in the end, I continued to shoot.
But after the promotional videos of "Ling Jian" and "Mood Inn" came out, her confidence was gradually crushed.
Because if she puts aside her identity as an actor, from the perspective of the trailers of the two movies, she will also feel that "Ling Jian" is several grades higher than "Mood Inn".
So, she was really a little worried about the movie hitting the streets.
