Chapter 405: Box Office Battle (Medium)

After the premiere was a flash in the pan, in the next few days, Liu Jingting returned to his usual true colors of Taishan collapsing in front of him and not changing his face, and followed everyone to go shopping and watch the play, it seemed that he was a little more cold and calm than usual, and from a distance, he almost became a big parent, just behind his back, looking at the group of lively and selfie friends with a loving face.

This mutation inevitably triggered several speculations among everyone, I thought that at the premiere, I finally recognized my boss at a deeper level, but unexpectedly, the plot turned around, and now it seems that it is becoming more and more elusive, however, it is travel time, with Xu Qing leading the team, everyone does not have much time to dwell on these issues.

And, as the helm of the team, the deeper and stronger he is, the more solid and stable his career will be.

"Be cheerful, everybody's so hi, you're alone here and ruining the atmosphere. Xu Qing thought that Liu Jingting's silence was somewhat related to her own criticism, so she took advantage of the time to enlighten a few sentences.

"I'm happy right now, but I want to put that momentum together with a superficial gloom. ”

“……”

"Aunt Qing, do you also know the word happiness and sorrow?"

"You're too tired to live like this, why don't you have the freedom of those protagonists in martial arts novels?"

"Who knew I wouldn't be free when I typed those words, and I was very calm. ”

Xu Qing looked at Liu Jingting sharply for a while, and said, "I prefer to believe that boys also have menstrual periods, regardless of you." ”

Xu Qing said and hurried to catch up with everyone, just when she ran into Yang Lilu walking back. He gestured to his niece and said, "Menstrual period." ”

Yang Lilu was stunned for a moment, then jumped to Liu Jingting with a smile. Pulled him by the arm and said, "Auntie said you ......"

Liu Jingting flicked her head and said, "Children's affairs, don't listen to adults' nonsense." ”

Yang Lilu covered her forehead, smiled and grabbed Liu Jingting's arm to catch up with the large army in front.

"Let's go to 221 Baker Street. ”

……

On April 18, the "Craftsman Record" group returned to China from London, and because several female editors had revealed their whereabouts on their personal microblogs, some reporters and paparazzi had quietly set up an ambush near Jianghai Airport.

"Qingjiao, Su Jin, you two posted a ticket back to China?"

The plane had just entered the stratosphere. Chang Youdao asked suddenly, but because the roar in the cabin was too loud, he didn't hear it clearly the first time. So Chang Youdao said directly: "If our itinerary is exposed, will there be fans congested to the airport to pick up the plane? There are also paparazzi, it is estimated that the airport will be surrounded." ”

Everyone was about to ridicule him, but suddenly saw Liu Jingting who was flipping through the magazine. Realized something. Su Jin and Qingjiao hurriedly asked, "Why don't you turn on the phone and delete it now?"

"Okay," Xu Qing stopped with a smile: "I really thought we were an idol group from a neighboring country, and it was too dangerous to start now, he wouldn't agree to it first." ”

Xu Qing said, signaling to Liu Jingting, in the course of that three-year trip, Xu Qing had seen Liu Jingting incarnate as a flight attendant more than once, asking strange passengers to turn off the plane.

Really. When Liu Jingting heard the word "boot", he immediately raised his head and asked, "Turn on." What to boot on, who wants to boot?"

Yang Lilu explained: "Su Jin and Qingjiao didn't pay attention to posting their tickets on microblogs, and they were often afraid that the itinerary would be exposed, causing congestion at the airport......"

Liu Jingting glanced at Chang Youdao sympathetically, and said: "Chang Chang, do you want to be a star and want to be fascinated, don't forget that we are behind-the-scenes writers, where there are so many fans everywhere you can come and watch, even if it is ......"

"Can Gu Yongsheng sign for me?"

Liu Jingting's education often has to be invested in Taoist education, and suddenly a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl timidly came over with a copy of "Harry Potter" and asked Liu Jingting to sign it.

Liu Jingting looked at the girl helplessly as if he had eaten a fly raw, and then took the book and pen to sign it.

Several other editors snickered at this.

After the female fans left, Chang Youdao, who was full of confidence, said: "Even if there are not so many stars, there will definitely be no fewer reporters." ”

"In any case, the plane can't be turned on now, and you can't pay for one's luck with the safety of all the passengers on the plane. ”

In everyone's opinion, Liu Jingting's tone was already giving the president's order, the two female editors nodded, and the topic ended.

"It's been a long journey, so let's talk about light topics. ”

……

At seven o'clock in the morning of the 19th, the plane landed at Jianghai Airport, after some discussion, finally everyone chose to walk out of the airport generously, the reader did come to a dozen, but it was not enough to cause the airport to be blocked, and then there were all kinds of photos, asking about the perception of the trip to London and so on.

After staying at the airport for less than half an hour, an RV sprayed with "Xingyue TV" and its logo appeared, and Liu Jingting and others waved goodbye to readers and reporters.

"Now I can reasonably suspect that some of the so-called paparazzi candid photos are actually deliberately arranged by the people who were secretly photographed themselves. ”

After getting in the car, Chang Youdao sighed, and Gong Chengen, who came to pick up the airport, said with a smile: "The water in the circle is very deep, not as simple as you make magazines." ”

Then the girls started the gossip mode, with Liu Jingting as their backer, and they were not very worried about the second young man of the palace family, who had been in the limelight in recent years, and kept throwing all kinds of lace trail problems.

Gong Chengen glanced at Liu Jingting in surprise, Liu Jingting rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Don't look at me with such suspicion, we are indeed making literary magazines instead of gossip magazines." ”

A few female editors realized something, smiled a little embarrassedly, and continued to ask other questions.

Gong Chengen first sent everyone to the Yingri Building, and then kidnapped Liu Jingting and sent them to the Xingyue Building.

"Harry Potter" has been promoted in China, and as a domestic distributor, Gong Chengpin now has a stomach to say to Liu Jingting.

When Liu Gong and the two arrived at Xingyue TV, Gong Chengpin had already gathered Xingyue's senior executives and was waiting for them in the conference room.

So. After Liu Jingting returned to China, he had not seriously reversed the jet lag, and a new round of high-density work began.

domestic promotion of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone;

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is released in theaters worldwide;

The filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is in full swing;

the manuscript of "Great Rivers and Lakes";

Check it out now. After the rookie competition, the last part of the "Condor Trilogy", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", will also be put on the serial schedule.

……

On May 2, "Star Era" was screened worldwide, and even in China, a large number of long-awaited sci-fi fans poured into the cinema, as Liu Jingting himself said, there is no need to coax the audience under the guise of "supporting domestic films" to make movies. Because under the fundamental principle of fair trade, the audience has the right to choose to watch the works they are interested in, as well as the right to choose to reject bad movies. The same goes for other industries.

"I'm fighting Mr. Blueprint. But this is just a personal grudge, it has nothing to do with the audience, don't miss a visual feast for our boring PK, I will organize my colleagues to charter the venue to watch "Star Era". But I'm not going to give a review of the praise for the time being. It's an opponent after all, haha. ”

At the Chinese premiere of "Harry Potter", when Liu Jingting was asked by the host if he would go to watch "Star Age", he replied, and the host, who thought that Liu Jingting would be embarrassed, was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "So, will you support "Star Age"?"

Liu Jingting deliberately made a dissatisfied expression, and said half-truthfully: "I said that Mr. Shi has been asking questions about the opponent's movie. Did you go the wrong way?"

The host Shi Yizhou suddenly came back to his senses and laughed haha. Quickly changed the topic, the host has been doing it for a long time, and there will be occupational diseases, always want to take the initiative in any interview, always want to control each topic by themselves, once there is an unexpected situation, the first reaction is to find it back.

After this episode, Liu Jingting began to introduce the "Movie Advance Book Purchase Activity", although this information had long been transmitted from the United Kingdom, but when they heard the news of the new book of the "Harry Potter series", some readers at the scene were still excited.

After the premiere, it was the first time that the Harry Potter film series had been shown on the big screen of the world. Liu Jingting's trance was about to attack again.

Fortunately, without any greetings (which is also what Yoo Kyung-jeong insisted on), after the premiere, the media and individuals who participated in the viewing of the film gave high praise.

The story is good, the technology is good, the materials are abundant, the main creator is professional, and it is not so complicated to make a good movie.

……

In the early morning of May 5, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was released worldwide.

However, judging from the reaction of theaters across the country, there was no explosion at the zero point premiere, which is also normal, after all, at least one-third of the main audience of this movie are children between the ages of 6 and 15, and they don't have the heart to watch the zero point show.

The real outbreak was on the second day.

Saturday, May 6th. As soon as the theater started working in the morning, the ticket booking phone began to ring, and this ring was endless.

Counting the online sales that are inseparable from "Planet", only Chinese theaters, "Harry Potter" sold out almost all movie tickets for 6 or 7 days in only seven hours.

Weekends are the prime time for parents to take their children to the theater.

On the evening of the 6th, no less than 15 theaters across the country held an emergency meeting, and finally decided to open the Sunday full-time film scheduling mode for "Ha", that is, on Sunday, the entire theater will only schedule one "Harry Potter".

This kind of film scheduling mode is not uncommon, and it is a propaganda method for many savvy producers to create a shocking scene of blowouts.

But the arrangement of "Harry Potter" is obviously not a publicity under the instructions of the filmmaker, but purely a natural decision under market demand.

According to the statistics of the number of 6 days, "Harry Potter" accounted for 56% of the national film schedule, counting the zero point show, and the box office output was 110 million, ranking second in history in terms of first-day box office;

On May 7, 62% of the films of "Ha" were scheduled, breaking the domestic film schedule.

The number of moviegoers was 4.6 million, breaking the record of moviegoers.

The box office output was 180 million, breaking the domestic single-day box office record.

At the same time, North America also blew a "Harry Potter magic whirlwind", plundering $120 million on the first day. (To be continued......)
