Chapter Ninety-Eight: 60 Million!
The reporters were also happy, and they blew it for four or five days in a row, and they wrote everything they could.
What horror master, 100 million yuan director, the first young director, the pinnacle of domestic horror films, and an epoch-making horror movie.......
Racking my brains, I used all the words I could think of.
You can't directly blow Tang An as the number one director in China and an international famous director.
So when they saw the box office on the fifth day come out, this group of reporters can be regarded as the happiest group of people.
The original manuscript was thrown into the crusher and began to sing "Horror Cruise".
Xu Jinglei and Lu Yi also looked a little bad on their faces, and they began to worry in their hearts.
However, Tang An kept a faint smile on his face, and he was not angry when the reporter interrupted him.
Dozens of mouths asked nonsense!
Seeing that Tang An was interjected by their question, he stopped, after all, they came to listen to Tang An.
"Thank you very much for your concern!" Tang An raised the microphone, glanced around, and said with a smile.
"After all, "Horror Cruise" is a horror and suspense film, and the audience is not as wide as costume blockbusters and comedies, and a decline in the box office is inevitable!"
"The box office fell by as much as 60% on the fifth day of release, and this is still in the case of a good reputation, Director Tang, what do you think caused this result?"
"Monday is the beginning of a new week, and many of the audience members are office workers, so it's normal to have no time to go to the movies after a busy day!"
"At the beginning, Director Tang set himself a goal of 100 million yuan at the box office, do you think there is still hope now?"
"Of course! Judging from the feedback from fans, everyone still likes this movie very much!"
"What if the box office continues to fall after 4 working days?"
......
On this day, there were two more movie theaters, and a square held an autograph session.
As expected, it was the same encounter, and the reporters who said that the box office of "Horror Cruise" could exceed 100 million seemed to be gone, and instead, most of them thought that the box office could not even reach 50 million.
Tuesday's box office seems to confirm this statement.
2.91 million!
This is a half-price result on Tuesday.
In this era, movie tickets are in oversupply, and basically a large number of half-price tickets come out on Tuesdays.
And this time is also the day of the students' holiday, the box office does not rise but falls, and the media is even happier.
The box office was 2.5 million on Wednesday and 2.21 million on Thursday, continuing to decline steadily with a 20% decline.
Even if the total box office of "Horror Cruise", which was released for 8 days at this time, has exceeded 40 million, the media is still a declining voice.
On Friday, the box office rebounded slightly, returning to 2.5 million from the new.
A total of 7.1 million were won on Saturday and Sunday, and the total box office of the horror cruise ship that was released for 11 days has crossed the 50 million mark and reached 51.62 million, ranking second in the annual box office of domestic films, second only to "Initial D"
However, this still did not silence the media, and basically the vast majority of people believed that the weekend's rally was just a return to the past, and that the third week would inevitably usher in a bigger dive.
On the afternoon of Monday, July 25, the major media had already prepared the press release for the next day, and they just had to fill in the numbers.
Major media and entertainment websites have people working overtime at night, just waiting for accurate box office statistics to come out, and then they can send the news out.
At around 12:30 a.m., almost at the same time, the major media learned about yesterday's box office at the same time.
1.95 million!
"Horror Cruise" still won nearly two million box office on the twelfth day of its release!
On the first working day of the third week, compared to 3.4 million on Sunday, the drop was only 40%.
"Made, it's been almost half a month since the release of "Horror Cruise", why is it so strong!"
"There is also a box office of nearly 2 million, and this manuscript will be written in vain!"
"I have to revise the manuscript in the middle of the night, and I added an all-nighter last Monday night, Tang An, your uncle!"
"People in the data analysis department can go to S, what about the big dive!!
"Damn, I'll make a slight change to the manuscript from 10 days ago and put it on it, and add your paralyzed class!"
The drop of less than 50% is still in the case of 12 days of release, and even the layman knows that this trend is very healthy.
The original manuscript could only be discarded and thrown into the trash, re-put on the tone of the beginning of the release, and then blow.
Although some people complain that "Horror Cruise" is not based on common sense, they are also used to it, isn't it capricious!
Therefore, early in the morning, Tang An saw the touted news again, which was just like more than a week ago.
He is not surprised by this, now that the decline has bottomed out, the next trend should be very stable.
The box office of seven or eight million in the first few days is just because of the popularity he saved on "Shark Beach" and the previous publicity, horror films are horror movies after all, and there is always a ceiling on the head, which is difficult to break through.
The highest single-day box office of "Shark Beach" was 2.6 million, and at that time, it was still because the name of the dark horse had been spread, and the ceiling of horror films was probably this number.
If he looks closely, he will find that these news are no different from the original, but they have changed some numbers and adjectives, and reposted the sentences again.
The sudden turn of events also overwhelmed the audience, and then they quietly ate melons and teased.
Thanks to the media hype, coupled with the half-price day on Tuesday the 26th, the box office of "Horror Cruise" climbed to the 2 million mark again.
However, this is also the last time that the single-day box office reached 2 million, and the subsequent Wednesday box office was only 1.6 million.
At this time, the total domestic box office of "Shark Beach" has reached 60.1 million, which is only 3 million away from the annual box office record set by "Initial D".
With only 6 million left, Tang An can win the first annual box office champion (temporary).
25 years old, the second feature-length film, 60 million box office, the box office champion of the year!
These four conditions are combined, and there is no one who can stand up to it in the history of Chinese films!
However, Tang An did it, and he is about to become the youngest director to win the Champion of the Year!
""Horror Cruise" is only 3 million away from the annual box office champion, and Tang Ji'an will break the 2005 domestic box office record created by the famous director Liu Weiqiao in Hong Kong!"
"The rise of a generation of great directors, 25-year-old Tang An launched an attack on the annual box office record!"
"Can Xu Ke's "Seven Swords" stop Tang An's road to the championship?"
......
On the 28th, Tang An had returned to the capital.
Tomorrow is the day of the release of "Seven Swords", although the audience of "Horror Cruise" has a good reputation, but it is still unknown whether it can maintain a box office increase of about 1.5 million per day under the pressure of "Seven Swords".
Therefore, when the box office exceeded 50 million, he did not hold a celebration banquet, just waiting for today!
It's kind of building momentum for the movie again!
It's a pity that there is still a gap of 3 million from "Initial D", and if you sit on the box office champion today, it will inevitably have a great stimulating effect on tomorrow's box office.
Closed the computer, got up and went out to the hotel to participate in the celebration banquet with a box office of more than 60 million.
Fortunately, "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" will be released in the Chinese New Year, otherwise these unscrupulous media should have changed the news headline to: ""Horror Cruise" crushes "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" at the box office, Tang An has surpassed Zhang Yimou!"
