Chapter 605: The First Day Box Office

"Brother, I've been tired lately, eat more!"

Lu Lin was in the villa in the capital Yosemite, and sat opposite each other at the dinner table with Jing Yan, with two dishes and one soup in front of him, both of which Lu Lin liked.

A while ago, he ran roadshows all over the world to publicize, which really tired him. Until the zero o'clock screening, it is considered to be idle. I slept last night and slept until this morning. When I woke up, Jing Yan had already made lunch.

Although the young lady has been living a life like a big lady, she is a real foodie. And the cooking skills of foodies are generally not too bad, and the taste of two dishes and one soup is still okay.

Lu Lin gulped down the rice, and praised again and again: "The craftsmanship is getting better and better, especially this soup, the freshness!" After that, he put another bowl of big bone radish soup.

When the young lady heard this, she watched Lu Lin eat with her chin in her hand, and said with a smile: "If you like it, drink more!"

Lu Lin snorted when he heard this, and suddenly felt that the hard work and depression in the past were nothing. What he longed for more than 20 years ago was not the warm scene when the family stayed together and ate!

Jing Yan saw that Lu Lin was eating deliciously, but he was happier than eating delicious food. However, he didn't have much appetite at this time, so he was like an assistant to introduce the box office performance of "Dayu Controlling the Water" after its release.

The midnight show was 47 million, failing to set another record. But industry insiders know that this is not because the work is not powerful, but because of aesthetic fatigue, the attraction of special effects blockbusters to the audience is decreasing year by year, and it is no longer like in the past, which can make people come to the theater without sleeping.

However, as the only super heavyweight work in the Chinese New Year file, the first day of "Dayu Controls the Water" was as high as 71%, and the total number of films "My Neighbor Totoro", "The Second Child is Coming", and "Spring Marathon" is less than 20%. The remaining 10% is allocated to other films such as "Dog Thirteen" that have been in theaters for more than a week.

There is no doubt about sweeping the schedule, even if a film critic is as harsh, he will not think that "Dayu Controls the Water" will fail at the box office.

This year's Chinese-language movies have been in decline for too long. And the Lunar New Year file has no opponent who can play and compete. If it weren't for the first day of release, more than 80% of low-cost films such as "The Second Child is Coming" and "Spring Marathon" would have to be arranged.

However, it is estimated that within three or five days, the schedule of "Dayu Controls the Water" will inevitably increase again. makes the audience have no choice to watch other films in a short period of time.

Of course, some film critics will come out and shout, saying that Lu Lin's films occupy the schedule and do not allow small and medium-cost films to survive the market. But no one paid attention to it at all. If the theater chain wants to make money, it must be which movie is a big seller. For the audience, most of the small and medium-cost films are pits, except for a few hits!

"It will break 100 million in less than four hours, looking at the estimate on the Taobao ticket, it can be over 500 million today!" When the young lady said this, her eyes fell on Lu Lin, full of pride.

The latter smiled indifferently, "Well, it's okay, it's basically expected!" Lu Lin's expectations for this film are basically like this. Without more advanced audio-visual technology and more shocking emotional guidance, it is difficult to make a major breakthrough at the box office of Chinese films.

Like "Wolf Warrior 2", which borrowed the east wind of rising patriotic sentiment and the fledgling of military action films, "The Wandering Earth" is also the title of the first Chinese hardcore sci-fi blockbuster. Although "Dayu Controls the Water" is shocking, it is a "sequel to the flood"!

Having said that, compared with the previous depressed film market, it really set off a movie-watching frenzy again.

Beijing, Shenghai, Jiangcheng...... , The theaters in the bustling commercial areas of major cities in China are basically crowded, as if the Spring Festival is in advance. Looking around, threes, threes, twos and twos, basically come to see "Dayu Controls the Water".

"There are too many people, right?" A girl entered the theater with her boyfriend, and when she saw the crowd in Wuyang and Wuyang, she even had the idea of retreating.

"My buddy in my dorm went to see the premiere and said the effect was super shocking!"

"Well, Director Lu's films, there are no special effects! But I prefer his "The Origin of the White Snake", if only I could make more romance movies!"

"Yes, he and Yaya acted in "Living Together in Time and Space", on Christmas Eve, let's go see it that night!" When the boy said this, he was still a little excited in his heart, Christmas Eve!

The girl didn't agree immediately, but said, "Well, let's take a look, if it's okay, I'll go, let's go get the ticket first!"

……

In the next day, the box office results of "Dayu Controlling the Water" on the first day were released, and the single-day revenue was 586 million, exceeding the 560 million achieved by "Havoc in Heaven" before. Counting the 47 million in the zero point field, a total of 633 million was won. Although the first day of "Havoc in Heaven" was 627 million (including zero point), it was still not really over 600 million on the first day, which inevitably disappointed some of Lu Lin's fans.

As for the overseas market, because of the time difference, the data has not yet been counted, and every time Longlin Pictures takes the lead in releasing it to the media, it is the mainland box office.

Many loyal fans of Lu Lin, the "spiritual shareholders" of Longlin Pictures, saw the box office of "Dayu Controls the Water", and they simply "ran to tell each other", and various forwards from the circle of friends and Weibo.

"Congratulations on breaking 600 million on the first day of "Dayu Controlling the Water", in a word, your uncle is your uncle after all!"

"Director Lu is worthy of being the conscience of Chinese movies, I watched two after the Spring Festival, "Daughter Country" and "Dayu Controls the Water", the special effects are super burning, eight years are like a day, Director Lu is amazing!"

"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, like this Dayu!"

……

Media reports are much the same. The main reason is that Lu Lin's films have been selling well in recent years, and there is no suspense at all. If you turn out the previous manuscript, you can use the names and data, which makes the reporters a lot more relaxed.

The most shocked are the executives and bosses of several other film companies in the industry, look at this posture, the box office of "Dayu Controls the Water" is exploding again, how much money do you have to make!

Yu Dong called Lu Lin and said congratulations, but his tone was a little lonely. He was a very strong man, starting as a small publisher and making the company the first in the industry to be listed on the NASDAQ. However, the old American stockholders didn't admit it at all, and when they were helpless, they were privatized and delisted, and they haven't been able to land on the A-share market until now!

And the glamorous Wang Changtian has always adhered to the routine of small and broad, mainly producing comedies and youth campus films. However, the tide of youth films is ebbing, and it is difficult for comedies to produce good works, so it turns its attention to Guoman.

Guangxian's subsidiary, Guangxian Color Bar House, began to create the "Myth Trilogy" of Guoman at the end of 17, "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends", "Jiang Ziya" and "Phoenix", the fastest one is expected to come out in 19 years.

"Special effects blockbusters can't compete with Lu Lin, I hope the field of Guoman can give me some surprises!" In the glamorous chairman's office, Wang Changtian looked at the news of the box office on the first day of "Dayu's Water Control" on the computer, and said secretly in his heart.
