Chapter 453: Another Record-Breaking
In the eyes of Zhou Yiming, Shi Fan, Shi Hang and others, "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company" is lackluster, the structure is unbalanced, and it is barely a qualified popcorn movie.
But in the eyes of ordinary audiences, the special effects of the film are explosive, the picture is excellent, and there are countless beauties. Whether it's looking at the chest, looking at the legs, watching the scene, or watching the fight, there is always one that suits you, at least you won't feel cheated and insulted your IQ.
and then it is Lu Lin's work, the sequel to "The Company of Soldiers", and the zero point field exploded with 60 million, showing an unparalleled ability to "absorb gold".
On the morning of the 8th, various film and television companies successively got the box office data of "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company", and they all had a "slotted" expression, especially when comparing the comic scores.
7.1, the first-day score of "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldiers" on the comic network is a relatively low first-day score in Lu Lin's film works, and there is a downward trend.
Hua Yi, vice chairman's office, Wang Zhonglei sat on the sofa, looking at the zero-point field data report on the mobile phone about "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company", and was a little distracted for a moment.
At this time, there were two knocks on the door, and CEO Ye Ning pushed the door in.
Ye Ning joined Wanda in 02 and served as vice president of Wanda Cultural Industry Group, chairman of Wuzhou Film Distribution Co., Ltd., and director of AMC Cinemas in the United States, in charge of Wanda Film and Television, Wuzhou Film Distribution, Huaxia Times and other companies.
He joined Huayi in 16 years and served as vice president and general manager. "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" is the first important film released by him after he arrived in Ren Huayi.
"Wang Dong, you look for me!" Ye Ning, who was emaciated, looked a little tired.
Wang Zhonglei got up, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he barely squeezed out a smile, "What's the situation over there?"
Ye Ning shook her head, "It's not good, the current national first-day film schedule is 5.93%, and the box office is not optimistic!"
Wang Zhonglei's expression became more and more ugly, because of the "de-cinematization" strategy, Huayi did not have many works this year, and "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" is a movie that the company attaches more importance to and is optimistic about.
I thought that the type of cartoon did not conflict with Lu Lin's special effects blockbuster, so there should be more than ten to twenty points of filming, but if there are less than six points, this is a cheat!
"This kind of film schedule can't even catch up with the box office of people's midnight shows!" Xiao Wang was always angry.
Ye Ning was a little ashamed, "It's our distribution side, there was a mistake!"
The film schedule on the first day of "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" was extremely low, so that it was rumored on the Internet that Wanda was deliberately suppressed due to Ye Ning's job-hopping accident.
For this reason, Wanda also deliberately issued a statement on the Internet, there is no suppression, and he will accuse you of slander by talking nonsense!
However, Zheng Jun, the producer of the film, pointed the finger at "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company", and said at the press conference: The first day of the new film is generally 15% to 20%, and we are only 6, which is too unreasonable. I went to the theater chain to find out that other filmmakers have locked all the shows, and we don't have our share!
On the 8th, 58% of the films were scheduled on the first day of "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company", 13% of "Cold War 2", 11% of "To the Youth of You Are Here", and "Big Fish and Begonia" was only 7%, which is difficult to call "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff".
The reason why the film schedule of "Big Fish" is much lower than that of another time and space is mainly because there is no anime version of "The Return of the Great Sage" in this world, and there is no gimmick of "The Rise of Guoman", which is not favored by theaters.
"The general trend has been decided, let's think about minimizing the loss!" Ye Ning persuaded her, as for the box office exceeding 60 million, Ye Ning was not so optimistic about the midnight box office of "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company".
Xiao Wang is not so easy to dissipate, 6% of the films, Huayi is actually mixed to the point that he can't even eat cold rice in the summer file, it used to be the first in China!
"The matter of scheduling the film can't just be settled, some of the executives below, which one is unfavorable, which one is demoted, someone must be responsible for this mistake!" Wang Zhonglei said in the end, his voice was full of expression.
Ye Ning had no choice but to respond, and couldn't say anything yet. Because "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" is the first work released since he joined Huayi, it is impossible for him to stand up and take the blame!
just said secretly in his heart: "Why do you have to release it on the same day as Lu Lin's film!"
With the same idea, there are also the filmmakers of "Cold War 2", "Big Fish and Begonia" and "To Youth: So You Are Still Here".
They think that the genre is different, and it does not constitute direct competition with "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company". But in the eyes of the theater chain, it is not a heavyweight at all.
"Killing the Gods" is a sequel work, directed by Lu Lin, with a total investment of more than 100 million US dollars, and a publicity and distribution cost of more than 100 million.
The box office of the previous work of "Cold War 2" was average, the director was unknown, the investment was not large, and the publicity and distribution costs were not high. The only point is that there are many stars, but unfortunately almost all of them are outdated, and there is not much box office appeal among mainland audiences.
"Big Fish and Begonia", a rookie director, an animated film, without IP blessing. In other words, Hollywood is shamelessly trying to make sequels, but they don't want to be the director and producer of the original ...... "Big Fish and Begonia", which is still commendable!
"To Youth 2", a newcomer director, the original work has little influence, and it has shown a cooling trend, starring Wu Paowang and Liu Tianxian, which has a certain attraction to young people.
But if you look at the box office potential of "The Killing of the Gods" as a sturdy adult, "Cold War 2" is a primary school student, and "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" is a kindergarten level.
"The Killing of the Gods of the Male Company" took more than half of the total film schedule, but it is still difficult to find a ticket in the theaters of individual commercial districts, and the crowds are like the Spring Festival, and there is a long queue every time the ticket is checked.
"These stupid forks, I can't even take a sip of water when I'm tired!"
In the lounge of a cinema in Beijing, several employees gathered around a simple table, complaining while eating.
"There are too many people, why don't you watch a movie?"
"Hey, I heard from the manager, Lu Lin's film this time is not particularly good-looking!"
"People are famous, and their opponents are all garbage in the same period, who do you look at if you don't look at him?"
"Some viewers also said while entering the venue that Lu Lin's movie, after watching it first, it must not be too pitiful!"
"This appeal is so invincible!"
"How many movies have been saved!"
"Hey, wait until you get off work, let's watch that film together?"
"I can't bear it, I'm so tired!"
"It's almost full today, how can there be a place!"
"Wait for the last one!"
"You're ruthless!"
……
Although the reputation of "The Killing of the Gods" is generally not as good as its predecessor, the box office has set a new single-day record with the strong support of its peers, the expansion of the film market, and the increasing box office appeal of Lu Lin.
The daily box office on the 8th was 351 million, counting the 60 million in the midnight show, and 411 million in a single day, surpassing the single-day 400 million of "Furious Seven" to refresh the domestic single-day box office record!
