"Inception" detonated the enthusiasm of the audience in just one night, causing a sensation on the Internet, and the TV station naturally did not miss this opportunity to gain popularity, and filmed the film crew to the theater for interviews.

Kyoto TV has the advantage of being at home, and the Starry Theater is not far from their TV station, and the drive is only about 15 minutes, so after the interview team gathers in the morning, they immediately set off towards the Starry Theater.

After all, it is one of the top and most well-known movies in the country, and it has even become a must-see attraction for many foreign tourists when they come to Kyoto.

So don't look at the Star Theater itself can accommodate tens of thousands of people to watch movies at the same time, but the number of shows every day is also full, even if some literary films, the attendance rate here will be much better than that of ordinary theaters, not to mention the five super screening halls with IMAX giant screens, if you want to buy tickets, you have to book many days in advance to get a seat.

The interview team knew that the business of the Starry Theater was very good, and all of them had actually gone there to see movies, but when they arrived at the place, the scene was still more lively than they imagined.

Because the interview team came early, there were still about ten minutes before the official opening of the theater when they arrived at the place.

But at this time, there was already a 'long queue' outside, seeing this situation, Lei Xiaomiao, as the team leader of the interview team this time, immediately made a decision, let the camera follow, and trotted all the way to the front of the long line.

They weren't trying to cut the line, but they were going to interview the queue.

"Hello sir, we are from Kyoto TV, what do you call it?"

"Ah, hello, my surname is Ma. ”

"Mr. Ma, I see that you are at the front of the line, what time did you come here?"

"I—I've come at six o'clock in the morning. Mr. Ma replied

This answer was completely beyond Lei Xiaomiao's expectations, looking at such a long line, she originally thought that Mr. Ma had lined up all night, but she didn't expect it to arrive more than an hour earlier than them?

"Now there is an online booking system on Fanxing Weibo, so there is no need to queue up at all, just buy it online. Mr. Ma saw Lei Xiaomiao's surprise, took out his mobile phone and opened Fanxing Weibo, entered the booking system, and then showed it to Lei Xiaomiao.

"You see, not only can you buy tickets, but you can also choose seats, and there are even discounts for buying tickets online, like I won a small bucket of popcorn this time. Mr. Ma happily showcased.

Although a small bucket of popcorn only sells for twelve yuan in the theater, it is an unexpected little surprise for moviegoers, and it can even make them feel happy for a while.

After listening to Mr. Ma's introduction, Lei Xiaomiao felt that he was a dirt bun.

Fortunately, Lei Xiaomiao has excellent professionalism, quickly adjusted his mentality, and continued to interview Mr. Ma with a professional smile.

"Mr. Ma, I see that you just showed me the movie ticket for "Inception", how did you become interested in this movie? ”

"Of course it's Weibo, knowing that Nie Wei's new movie is about to be released, I know that I have to go to the cinema to watch this movie as soon as possible, after all, Nie Wei's production must be a high-quality product. ”

"I originally wanted to book the 3D version of the movie ticket for that show at zero o'clock, but the ticket was sold out only five minutes after the pre-sale began, and the ticket I have now in my hand is still bought by an acquaintance for a full 500 yuan. ”

Lei Xiaomiao quietly gestured to the photographer behind him with a scissor hand, of course, not to cheer and celebrate, but to tell him to remember to put this section of scissors, after all, this acquaintance in Mr. Ma's mouth, in her opinion, Bacheng is a scalper.

Then Lei Xiaomiao visited a young couple who looked very excited.

"We're from Yamashiro and this time we're here to watch Inception, because the IMAX-3D equipment at the Starry Theater is the best in the world, and we all feel that if we want to watch a sci-fi blockbuster like Inception, we naturally have to pursue the best results. ”

The couple happily greeted the camera, and then answered Lei Xiaomiao's question very cooperatively.

Then Lei Xiaomiao interviewed a woman who looked to be in her thirties, she also came to see "Inception", but she was not a fan of Nie Wei, but saw the promotional video of "Inception" on the Internet and bought a movie ticket when she thought it was interesting.

After interviewing this lady, the movie theater was also open for admission, and a large number of people poured into the theater, just when Lei Xiaomiao was about to move to the next movie theater, when he was collecting more materials, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

"Miss Dong Jie, are you also here to see "Inception"?" Lei Xiaomiao took three steps and two steps, and quickly rushed to a woman's side and asked.

"Ah, yes. Dong Jie, who was wearing a mask and no makeup, obviously didn't expect that someone would recognize her like this, but it was not easy to hide it if she was recognized, so she just answered and quickened her pace, preparing to hurry into the theater to escape the chase of the camera.

But Lei Xiaomiao was obviously unwilling to let go of this female star so easily.

The key is that Dong Jie was the only one who cooperated with Nie in "The Family of Gold Powder", but unlike when she played a small supporting role, but now she is the comfort of the Golden Horse Actress, Dong Jie has been going downhill since "The Family of Gold Powder", and can only swing at the second-tier level.

Although Dong Jie is not as famous as before, Lei Miao thinks that he is still very interesting when he watches Nie Wei's movie without makeup and a mask.

"Miss Dong, are you here to support your old friend Nie Wei today?"

"Sort of, the main thing is that the subject matter of the movie is very attractive to me, so I thought I would take advantage of the break to come and watch it. ”

"Then after you finish watching the movie, will you give Director Nie Wei some suggestions when you turn around?"

Dong Jie frowned, feeling a little unhappy, feeling that this female reporter was really annoying, you must know how many years she hasn't cooperated with Nie Wei, and she hasn't been in touch all these years, she doesn't even know what Nie Wei's mobile phone number is, can she use Weibo private messages to make suggestions?

Of course, she can only slander a few words of this kind of words, but she still has to maintain a smile on the surface, and replied to the camera: "I will talk to Nie Wei about movies when I have the chance, but forget about giving opinions, if I can give Nie Wei advice, I can become a director, Nie Wei's movies are always so good, I really can't find anything wrong." ”

After answering this question, she happened to walk to the door of the theater, Dong Jie dropped a sentence of 'goodbye', and immediately rushed into the movie theater, Lei Xiaomiao originally wanted to chase after her, but suddenly a woman who looked like she was in her twenties stood in front of them, and with such an obstacle, Dong Jie disappeared.

Lei Xiaomiao glared at the woman who blocked them very dissatisfied, the latter glared back without showing weakness, and the two stared at each other for more than ten seconds before the latter snorted and turned to leave.

"Xiao Miao, that should be Dong Jie's assistant. Looking at the woman who left, the photographer judged.

The other party's blocking was actually too ingenious, as if it had been prepared a long time ago, and the photographer suddenly remembered that this woman had been by Dong Jie's side from the beginning just now, and it was really unreasonable to say that the two had nothing to do with each other.

"Forget it, let's go to another movie theater. Lei Xiaomiao sighed, and was ready to go to other cinemas to interview some more materials, after all, the starry cinema alone does not mean anything, interview a few more movie theaters, and actually investigate the situation, and the reports made at that time will be more convincing.

Two kilometers away, there is another cinema of the Star Cinema Line.

Lei Xiaomiao did not interview the audience this time, but directly interviewed the theater manager of the cinema and asked him about the movie ticket sales.

"The best seller at the moment is definitely Inception, and so far, the 3D version of the movie has been sold out even for next week. ”

"What about the 2D version of the movie ticket?"

"This has, after all, now the national film scheduling rate of "Inception" is more than 60%, and 2D movie tickets are available, but there are not many, and now some good time shows, even if it is a 2D field, the attendance rate of "Inception" will be as high as more than eighty percent, and those bad times can also maintain an attendance rate of fifty percent. ”

"Thank you for the data. Lei Xiaomiao thanked the manager, and then took the interview team to continue to the next goal, and they visited five theaters in the morning, and the results were all the same.

In the mouth of the audience, the word-of-mouth of "Inception" is overwhelming, except for a few viewers who raised objections, basically more than 95% of the audience gave this movie a high evaluation.

Of course, at the same time, there are many complaints, not for the movie itself, but for the movie tickets, and the difficulty of finding a ticket for the 3D version of the movie is the most dissatisfied with the audience at present.

But there is no way, which reminds Lei Xiaomiao of "Avatar" in 09, when there were audiences at the entrance of movie theaters across the country who complained like now, and the situation was very similar.

However, the reason why "Avatar" had such an overnight queue and full house was mainly because there were too few screening halls that could show IMAX-3D at that time, and in the past two years, China has learned the lessons of Avatar before, and more than 200 film industries have added IMAX screening halls.

But I didn't expect that after the release of "Inception", the screening hall was still insufficient.

"Do you think that "Inception" is it possible to break the domestic box office record? Sitting in the car and returning to the TV station, Lei Xiaomiao asked casually.

The originally noisy interior space was suddenly startled because of Lei Xiaomiao's question, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and for a while, no one could blurt out and give an answer.

Seeing that his colleagues suddenly quieted down, Lei Xiaomiao was also surprised, is this a difficult question to answer?

But when she began to seriously think about her casual question, the whole person also fell into hesitation, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her hypothesis seemed to be really possible.

It's just that when she thought that the previous record was also created by Nie Wei herself, she felt that this matter seemed reasonable.

After all, Nie Wei's movies always surprise people, and they are always improving.

After Lei Xiaomiao returned to the TV station, she made a short news for the first time, and reported Dong Jie's appearance in the movie theater separately, after all, Dong Jie is a star, and she is also famous, plus the relationship with Nie Wei, taking out the treasure island alone will definitely attract some people's attention.

As for the video materials of the interviews, after an afternoon of editing and post-production, they will be broadcast as a feature report in the evening during entertainment news.

Lei Xiaomiao found Dong Jie in the cinema, which is not a special case.

In fact, during the day, many people found out that there were celebrities in the cinema, some of whom were recognized by reporters, and some of them were recognized by the audience who came to see the movie.

What's even more interesting is that all the celebrities who were exposed, without exception, all came to see "Inception".

Of course, there are some celebrities who posted movie tickets on Weibo to express their support for "Inception", and as of 7 o'clock in the evening, netizens with good things made a statistic that a total of 152 stars were indirectly or directly blown out of the cinema to watch this movie.

And there are 86 stars who actively evaluate this movie on the Internet and assist in the promotion, and the fans of these stars together exceed 200 million.

Of course, more people are still concerned about how much the film will earn at the box office on the first day.

As the first movie released on 10,000 screens in the country, the number of screenings is as high as 67%, and the price of movie tickets is not low, 80 yuan for the 3D version and 45 yuan for the ordinary 2D version.

Thinking about so many reports today, it would be a joke to say how many people went to see the movie, and if the final premiere results were not satisfactory.

Including Nie Wei, he is also waiting for the box office results on the first day.

However, compared with those reporters who are in a hurry to get some reports, Nie Wei is much calmer, because every once in a while he will receive data reports from the company, and he already has a good idea of the box office on the first day, and now he is just waiting for the final data to come out.

And during this time of waiting, he was not idle, looking for those film reviews in the film review area, and understanding what are the advantages and disadvantages of his movies in the eyes of these professionals.

Not to mention, some of the reports written by film critics really made Nie Wei feel impressed.

You must know that there are a lot of implied props or small actions in "Inception", if you want to find them out one by one, it is obviously impossible to watch the movie a few times, and some film reviews, Nie Wei only knows a lot at a glance, the film critics who wrote these film reviews didn't watch the movie seriously at all, and wrote a movie review after reading it hastily, and didn't seek any explanation at all.

But there are also the kind that makes him feel bright, like a film critic called 'Wendao', who writes a lot of highlights, and many small actions that Nie Wei thinks are buried deeply, this Wendao has also discovered.

Just when Nie Wei was about to read it again after reading it hastily, the phone on the table rang.

The caller was made by a staff member from the statistical department below.

"Mr. Nie, the box office of "Inception" on the first day has been released, 312.35 million, and the data within 1,000 yuan is still being verified. ”

"Thank you. Nie Wei thanked him and hung up the phone.

In the next second, a joyful smile bloomed on Nie Wei's face, 312 million, this first-day box office not only broke the domestic first-day box office record set by himself, but also gave "Inception" a good start.
