Chapter 734: Box Office and Evaluation (3)
"It's actually the highest-rated movie among several movies, and it's the only one with an eight-point score. Liz said in surprise.
Although she is a singer, she is still very clear about movies, she likes to watch movies very much, and she knows very well that it is difficult for a movie on the observer website to reach 8.5.
If it exceeds nine points, it is a real masterpiece and a classic.
And in the history of world cinema, there are not many such movies, and 8.5 is already a very good score.
Patrium shook his head and said, "It's a bit low, I think this movie should be a nine." ”
Lin Qirong smiled silently, this kind of movie belongs to the genre of accumulation, and the more carefully you taste it, the more details and excitement you will find.
He believes that the subsequent ratings will get higher and higher, and a score of nine is not an impossible value.
Alyssa didn't say much, just clicked on the review page and scored a 9.2 point.
"Great, I want it too. Shirley grinned.
Alyssa helped her enter her account number, which also gave her a high score of 9.2.
It's not that they don't want to play 9.5, it's really going to be restricted, otherwise Shirley just wants to score 10 out of 10.
"Me too. Liz shrugged, making the same choice as them.
Patlaim had already done this.
Sure enough, movies are a part of the lives of the people of the United States, and everyone has an observer's account.
Lin Qirong shook his head and smiled, "It seems that I can't show my hand well today, so I'm a little sorry for your support for me." ”
"Of course. Shirley smiled.
They came to accompany Lin Qirong for Christmas, because they were afraid that he would feel lonely on such a holiday.
However, it would be even better if you could once again enjoy the delicious meals cooked by Lin Qirong himself.
Lin Qirong stood up, "Then I'll go cook, who will help?"
"I !!" Shirley held her hand aloft, as did Liz and Alyssa beside her.
"Then Liz and Alyssa, Shirley you're just going to make a mess. Lin Qirong unceremoniously rejected Shirley's request, this girl can indeed only add chaos in the kitchen, although it can bring a lot of happiness, but in order to protect her hands and kitchen utensils, this matter is still avoided.
Shirley lowered her head in frustration, she was determined that she must learn to cook well when she went back, starting with washing dishes.
Lin Qirong took Liz and Alyssa to prepare lunch together.
Because of the Christmas holiday, most of the shops on the street will not open, so Lin Qirong also prepared a lot of ingredients in advance, and the refrigerator was full of them, just to receive this group of good friends.
Soon after, a delicious meal was baked, and everyone chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Elsewhere, there are countless people who pay attention to the ratings of film review sites such as box office and observers.
Su Lenghe was in his apartment in Chinatown, and when he and his compatriots opened the website together, they saw the real-time box office data and movie ratings, and they couldn't help cheering when they saw the good results of "The Star".
Lin Qirong is everyone's idol and everyone's pride, the movie he directed beat several blockbusters on the first day of the Christmas schedule, won the second place in the box office list, and the website score was 8.5 points first, making everyone feel honored and honored.
"Let's go to the movies together tonight and support Lin Qirong with practical actions. ”
Su Lenghe called.
This suggestion quickly gained everyone's support, and most of them took action to encourage people around them to go to the cinema to watch movies to support Lin Qirong.
Subsequently, this suggestion quickly spread to the Chinese community in Chinatown in other cities through social media, setting off a wave of support for Lin Qirong after watching "The Star".
The Chinese are a very special group with a very strong sense of honor, which is not usually seen very much, but at this time it suddenly burst out.
Because of Lin Qirong, because of Chinese movies, because of the motherland.
"Is it only eight-five?" said Anne softly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"However, it is very good to be able to achieve such results under heavy siege, reaching a height of 8.5 points by the standard of a science fiction movie and a commercial blockbuster.
And this is just the beginning, the starting point is very high, and the front is not an invincible enemy. ”
If "Stars" can really reach nine points as a commercial sci-fi blockbuster and achieve the name of a classic, then it is really remarkable.
You must know that most of those masterpieces are movies that write about the tragedy of war, the cruelty of reality, the struggle against fate, humanitarian care and other themes, and there are very few commercial blockbusters.
She smiled softly, turned on the computer in front of her, and began typing crackling.
It's the Christmas holidays, but she still has work to do, because the company's films are sprinting towards higher goals.
Chen Meng and his team continue to work hard, a lot of resources are invested in it, there is more and more news about the movie "Stars", and film critics and reporters who do not have a holiday at Christmas carefully analyze the highlights of this movie from all angles, so that many fans who have watched it suddenly realize that they have missed a lot of wonderful places.
Naturally, these people have not seen this movie in such detail, nor will they know the details so well.
But I can't stand the official information.
As the company that created this movie, the information in the hands of Tonghua Entertainment is naturally quite complete, and the interpretation of the details of the movie is also the most authoritative, which is in the hands of these people, and then turned into news, attracting fans to watch one after another.
With its excellent box office and overwhelming word-of-mouth, the movie "Star" actually overtook the limelight of flying superhero movies on Christmas Day, becoming the most news and most discussed movie.
This caught Manfei a little off guard.
Although the results on the first day did not meet their expectations, after all, they won the top box office, and they are confident that the results will get better and better in the future, and move towards a higher box office goal.
The fan base cultivated over the years is their greatest confidence.
As for "The Stars" and other films, none of them can pose a threat in their minds.
But reality slapped them hard.
The sudden increase in the news and the rapid rise in attention of "The Stars" completely overwhelmed them, which made them a little scrambling.
Should we do more publicity? But there is no plan, and the funds are not available all at once.
What's more, both the director and the actors are on vacation now, and they don't know where to go on vacation, if you want to get them back to assist in the promotion, think about what they will say, or forget it.
As for sabotaging the opponent's propaganda, it's not okay, people are justified, all propaganda is very exquisite, it's not completely unreasonable water-injected propaganda, where can it be destroyed casually?
Even if you want to use some unconventional means, you can't do it all at once.
In the anxiety and uneasiness, they still couldn't make a response in the end, and could only watch the limelight of "Star" overwhelm them, and watch more audiences enter the cinema because of these promotions and choose "Star" instead of their own company's films.
The next day's box office was a testament to this trend.
In the box office data of the second day, the data of Manfei's superhero movies dropped slightly, only 35 million yuan, while the box office data of "Stars" rose sharply, to the value of 30 million yuan, which is not far from them.
Although they still hold the top spot, they can fully feel the aggressive momentum of "Star".
Who knows when this movie will directly surpass them and sit on the throne of box office champions?
In that case, it should be a shame in the history of Manfei.
It's a shame to lose to a movie from China, and it's on the Christmas schedule.
The most important thing is interests, "Stars" took away their box office.
And that's not the most important thing.
After the box office data came out that night, the movie score on the observer website was also refreshed, and more fans flocked to the website to score their own scores.
The results were surprising, and the rating of Manfei's superhero movie dropped further, and everyone's evaluation of the movie was basically disappointed.
This is also related to the publicity strategy of Manfei's company, they have always liked to hide and tuck, and are unwilling to reveal a trace of information, so as to fish the appetite of fans high.
As a result, the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment, and the film did not meet the expectations of fans, so the rating was lowered accordingly.
And "Stars" did not fall but rose, and came to 8.8 minutes, only one step away from nine minutes.
What this means is very clear to the folks at Manfei.
Their film went downhill, and "The Star" went uphill.
One day, "The Stars" will surpass them.
There must be action.
Manfei Company quickly took action, started the propaganda machine, and began to increase publicity efforts.
Actors who are on vacation have also used social media, videos and other means to help with publicity.
The competition between the two movies suddenly became fierce, and the quiet and peaceful Christmas, because of the competition between the two movies, actually showed a hot flavor.
On the third day of release, the superhero movie grossed 42 million at the box office, once again surpassing the 40 million mark.
The emergency public relations still had the desired effect, and more fans of Manfei and celebrities walked into the cinema to cheer them on.
But "Stars" is not far behind, with a box office of 35 million, it continues to maintain a tight momentum, which makes Manfei feel a little breathless.
It's not going to be a good Christmas.
The two movies were entangled, and the rest of the movies were completely reduced to cannon fodder, and none of the movies exceeded 20 million, which also announced the failure of their Christmas schedule strategy.
And this achievement will be a huge blow for some companies.
