781. Praise
In order to maintain a sense of mystery and also originate from Nie Wei's inner confidence in this movie, "League of Assassins" did not hold any premiere warm-up, but directly chose to let the film be officially released in the early morning of the 24th.
However, Nie Wei's self-confidence is not without reason, "League of Assassins" has sold nearly 80 million box office results after a month of pre-sale.
This is also the pre-sale record of the mainland Chinese movie box office so far, and the previous record was also created by Nie Wei, "Lone Agent" pre-sold 51 million, and this time "League of Assassins" has increased this record by nearly 30 million.
Such a box office pre-sale record really made many peers extremely hot.
After all, everyone is still complacent about the tens of millions of box office, and they can't even dream that when the box office of 100 million yuan is 100 million yuan, Nie's only movie is about to break 100 million yuan just by pre-sale, what a terrifying box office appeal this is, it is estimated that all the directors in China do not have such an appeal as Nie Wei.
However, for Nie Wei's appeal, his peers are really convinced.
After all, Nie Wei, as one of the top directors in China, this status is not because of his extra money, but because he has proved himself with one shining report card after another.
Take a look at Nie Wei's transcripts as a director over the years.
The first "Speed Scandal" directed by the director, with a total box office of 112 million Chinese coins in the mainland and 250 million Chinese coins worldwide.
The second film, "Twenty Years Old", has a mainland box office of more than 180 million and a global total box office of more than 400 million.
The third "Your Name" mainland box office directly broke 200 million, and the global total box office exceeded 800 million.
Not to mention the fourth "Lone Agent", it directly broke the box office record set by "Hero" and became a new legend, which also helped Nie Wei ascend to the throne of the Chinese director circle.
And the movies shot by Nie Wei are not only good at the box office, but also have a very good reputation, so far the four movies have an average reputation of more than 7.9, all of which are above excellent.
It is these achievements that have created the shining crown on Nie Weixian's head, and his status as a top director is also recognized both inside and outside the circle.
Especially in the years since Nie Wei debuted as a director, there has not been a bad movie, and the audience always has the best expectations for his new movie, so he naturally intends to pay for his movie tickets.
At around 11:30 p.m. on the 23rd, many theater halls were already crowded, and the movie theater's schedule at this moment was surprisingly consistent, whether it was a three-hall theater, a five-hall theater, or an eight-hall theater, all of them were "League of Assassins".
But even if the screening hall is lined up in "League of Assassins", the attendance rate is still above 90%, and as soon as the theater opens for admission, in less than ten minutes, the originally empty screening hall is already full.
is in such full bloom that all the major theater managers are full of red faces, as if they have taken a big tonic, and they are all very excited.
Many theater managers looked at the full audience sitting in the screening hall and couldn't help but think that the last time it seemed that the cinema could still be so full with such a strong film schedule, it seemed that it was "Lone Agent"?
Thinking of this, the theater manager couldn't help but be happy, how good Nie Wei would be if he could make two or more movies a year.
Just as the zero o'clock show of "League of Assassins" had begun to be released, a van suddenly drove quickly at the door of the Star Cinema on a busy street in Pearl City, and just when the security guards at the door thought that the car had something urgent to do, a piercing brake sound sounded in their ears.
The braking sound was too harsh and came too suddenly, the two security guards were defenseless and frightened, and the sound pierced their ears very uncomfortably.
The security guards were rubbing their ears and were about to complain, when they saw the door of the van that had braked sharply just now being opened, and then a beautiful woman with messy hair and a middle-aged uncle who looked about forty years old hurriedly ran out of the car and rushed towards them.
The security guard hurriedly put away the complaint he was about to say, not because he saw the beauty, although there was a little reason, but more importantly, he found the camera carried by the forty-year-old uncle behind the beauty.
As a security guard of a large theater, he is naturally no stranger to the configuration and outfit of these two people, this is obviously a reporter, these people and their little security guards can't afford to offend.
The interview group was obviously in a hurry, and after getting out of the car, they trotted all the way into the theater, and then went straight to the ticket window.
"Hello, do you have any tickets for the next Assassins movie? Approaching the ticket window, the beautiful reporter immediately asked.
"Sorry, tickets are sold out. The conductor replied with a smile.
Hearing this, the beautiful reporter and the camera uncle behind her all showed surprised expressions, and the beautiful reporter even pointed to the LED screening timetable on the side, and asked in disbelief: "This one at 2:45, eight screening halls, all sold out?"
"Yes, miss. The conductor replied with a smile on her face, but the beautiful reporter heard a hint of pride in it.
This beautiful reporter did not hear it wrong, and when the conductor answered the question of this beautiful reporter, he was indeed full of pride, because this popular movie was shot by their boss.
As a member of the Starry Cinema, she certainly feels honored, and pride is inevitable.
Just when the conductor was thinking about the great achievements of the boss Nie Wei, the beautiful reporter and the photographer were sad, because they came out with a task.
Originally, they were going to buy tickets for the 2:45 movie today, just in time to wait for a wave of interviews with the audience at 0:00, and then they watched the last show in person, and wrote another report from the audience's perspective and their own perspective.
But now that she can't buy a ticket, it means that she can't see it for herself, so how can the report she writes be true? As a reporter with a lot of professional ethics, she doesn't allow the news she makes up by herself through oral narration.
"Can't you get the first-hand report?" the beautiful reporter hung her head with a dejected look.
After all, whether it is news or film review columns, they all pay attention to timeliness, and they can't go into the cinema to watch a movie in the first place, so naturally they can't write a first-line report.
"Xiao Lin, let me help you ask others if they are willing to give us a ticket. The uncle carrying the camera suddenly said.
This uncle is obviously much more experienced than this beautiful reporter named Xiao Lin, often this kind of popular movie, there will inevitably be scalpers, sure enough, there is no need for the uncle to take the initiative to find it, there was already a young man in his twenties who came to them when the two were talking, obviously hearing the conversation they just had.
"Do you want two hundred tickets? The young man walked up to Xiao Lin and asked.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin puffed out her cheeks angrily, obviously only forty-five tickets, this guy actually asked for two hundred when he opened his mouth, is this a robbery!?
If it was just ten or twenty yuan more, Xiao Lin could still bear it, this time it was several times, she felt that she couldn't bear it, and when she was about to open her mouth to scold, the uncle on the side saw this and hurriedly pulled her behind her.
"One hundred and fifteen, give me a good position. As he spoke, the uncle had already taken out his wallet and was ready to pay.
"Two hundred, no bargain, but I can give you a ticket for the second row. The young man said.
"Aren't there five or six rows?" the uncle asked with a frown.
Hearing this, the young man also showed a helpless expression and replied: "It's really not that I have hidden good tickets, but I really don't, those good seats have long been booked away, and my ticket for the middle position of the second row is already the best in my hand, do you want it?"
"Yes, I want two. The uncle stared at the young man for a few seconds, and felt that he did not look like he was lying, so he gritted his teeth and prepared to pay for it.
As a result, the scalper boy refused.
"I'm sorry, but I just have a ticket. ”
In the end, the camera uncle took out 200 yuan to buy the young man's ticket, and the camera uncle went to the ticket office to check the authenticity of the movie ticket after getting the ticket, which made the young man who sold the ticket scoff, but the camera uncle didn't care at all, after all, it is necessary to trade with these scalpers and keep an eye on it.
The camera uncle is worried that it is redundant, and the ticket is indeed real.
"Xiao Lin, you can go in alone after the interview, I'll wait for you outside, I just don't worry about handing over the camera to the theater keeper. The camera uncle handed the ticket to Xiao Lin and said with a smile.
The screening hall is not even allowed to bring hand-held DV, and it is naturally impossible to let this kind of professional camera in, even if they are regular media, after all, this is a problem related to the source of the film.
"Okay, when I'm watching the movie, uncle, you can go to McDonald's for some supper. Xiao Lin was not polite, took the movie ticket and put it in her pocket, after all, she is an interview reporter, and she will be the main writer of the news report for a while, she must watch this movie, but she is a photography uncle, you can watch it whenever you want, and it has no impact on the news report.
Xiao Lin finally has a movie ticket in her hand, and she can breathe a sigh of relief, but it hurts a little, after all, she bought it for two hundred yuan, and she doesn't know if the company will reimburse her.
Xiao Lin shook her head suddenly when she thought of this, the top priority is not to think about what you have or don't, but to improve and review the questions that you should ask after the audience is over, this is the key.
Taking out the notebook, Xiao Lin began to review, while the camera uncle put the machine beside him and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Two hours passed, and with the noise coming from the door of the screening hall, Xiao Lin finally came back to her senses from her notebook, looked at the door of the screening hall that had been opened by the staff, and hurriedly pushed down the camera uncle who was about to fall asleep next to her.
"I'm ready for an interview. Xiao Lin took out a small mirror as she spoke, straightened her hair, and then took out a voice recorder with her company's logo printed on it from her bag, and then her eyes began to search for the audience who came out.
There are skills in finding people to interview, Xiao Lin thought about the skills that the seniors in the company taught her, and then the first to identify a boy who wore glasses and looked very good at talking.
"Hello this classmate, can I disturb you for two minutes and accept our interview?" Xiao Lin took three steps and two steps, and immediately stepped forward to ask after determining the goal.
Xiao Lin's sudden interview obviously startled the boy, but after coming back to his senses, although he was a little twisted, he did not refuse Xiao Lin's visit.
"You ask. Facing the beautiful reporter, the little boy whispered yes, looking a little shy.
"Hello, may I ask if the movie you just watched was "The League of Assassins", what do you think of this movie?" asked Xiao Lin straight to the point.
The little boy lowered his eyes before replying: "What I watched is "League of Assassins", in fact, all the screening rooms in this theater are "League of Assassins", in terms of the quality of this movie, I can only say that it is very good, really very good, even if it is over, I still have a feeling of blood rushing." ”
"Can you tell us more specifically, or which clips impressed you?" Xiao Lin asked.
The little boy thought about it when he heard this question, and then replied with a smile: "I am impressed by a lot of things, there are too many wonderful shots, such as the drag racing scene, which is really too exciting, I think it can be compared to the classic drag racing clip of "Terminator". ”
"It's so exciting, and I want to go into the screening room and see this movie right away. Xiao Lin saw that the little boy was talking endlessly, and had the urge to chat with her all night, so she immediately interrupted him and put an end to this interview.
But judging from what this little boy said, at least the shots of this movie must be very hot.
Then Xiao Lin interviewed an adult man in his thirties, and then interviewed several women of different ages, collected a lot of reports obtained by people of different ages and genders, on the whole, the film performed very well, interviewed seventeen people, and all gave praise, especially among young people, very popular with them.
Before she had time to sort out these materials, the screening hall had already begun to open for admission, Xiao Lin hurriedly put away the recorder and hurriedly walked towards the screening hall.
Walking into the theater, Xiao Lin was secretly stunned, at 2:45 in the morning, the screening hall was completely full of audiences, which made Xiao Lin really amazed by the popularity of the movie "League of Assassins".
Time passed little by little, Xiao Lin felt that this waiting time was particularly difficult, and after listening to the praise of so many people, she was also extremely looking forward to this movie at the moment.
Finally, at 2:45 p.m., the lights in the screening hall were dimmed on time.
