The box office battle on the first day has finally come to an end.

"Infernal Affairs" unfortunately did not break 100 million and won 78 million box office, which is far inferior to Feng Kai's "Praise Ceremony",

However, the film schedule of "Infernal Affairs" is also nearly half lower than that of "Praise Ceremony" when it was first released, but the attendance rate has reached 43%, which explains everything.

On the other hand, the box office of "Insect Day" only earned 24 million in the first 12 hours on the first day, and the attendance rate was only 16%.

Austin was stunned, looking at the freshly baked data in the middle of the night, sitting for a full five hours, thinking a lot, and feeling that his mind was blank, and he didn't come back to his senses until dawn, and couldn't help but sigh: "Did you lose?"

"Austen!"

The door opened, and a bearded white man walked in and said angrily, "You shouldn't be so depressed, we still have a chance to chase it back!"

"Really?" Austin smiled wryly, "several Hollywood movies have failed, and we can't escape our doom, and I don't have any hope." ”

"Then what should you do with Li Zhifan's gambling contract? Are you willing to give up like this?"

The white man crossed his arms and said unceremoniously.

"Book a plane ticket! I'm going back to the United States!"

Austin stood up and walked to bed, "I'm tired of being here, I'm going back!"

"Maybe that's the only way you can do it!"

The white man touched his forehead, looked at the time on his watch, and said, "I'm booking a ticket for the night, and it's better to be secretive about your actions." ”

……

There are too many movies released on New Year's Day, plus those Chinese New Year movies released before New Year's Day, and a certain number of films must be scheduled, resulting in the highest box office on New Year's Day, which is "Infernal Affairs".

Although "Sour Plum Soup" achieved good results in the first half of the day, the second half of the film schedule in major theaters was almost zero, so it did not receive much, and finally ranked second with 72 million, which was very close to "Infernal Affairs".

On the second day, from 0:00, it was almost the world of "Infernal Affairs" and "Sour Plum Soup", and "Insect Day" had to be moved to the next morning because of the poor box office on the first day, and it was necessary to ensure that the first week was the same as "Infernal Affairs", so it could only be moved to the next morning.

Among the many movies released on New Year's Day, there are also many rounds of tours.

One of the most ridiculous is a movie called "Big Comedy: The League of Joy", which gathered four or five well-known domestic sketch actors, and the other group actors are also familiar actors, but unfortunately it only won less than 50,000 box office.

The most important thing is that the film schedule of this movie is actually 9%.

According to the attendance rate, there are only one or two people in almost a hall, which is completely a chartered experience, which is too cool.

So the next day, most of the news was surrounded by this "Big Comedy: Joy Alliance".

Netizens are also happily eating melons and hotly discussing:

"What? The box office on the first day was 46,700 ???"

"Tianxiu, but the distributor of this movie is honest enough, it means that it didn't buy the box office!"

"Eh, this movie is starring He Jin? Oh my God, he is a talk show host, and he actually went to act in comedy. ”

"Haven't you looked at the cast? There are still a lot of well-known comedians, haha, this time it's really a comedian!"

"It's just that this kind of movie is usually released, and the New Year's Day schedule is so precious, it's too nonsense to enter and mix it in, right?"

"Remembering that two months ago, He Jin recommended this movie starring him in every episode of the show, and the gags were very funny, and it turned out that his jokes were just laughed at on the show, and it was really boring to put them in the movie. ”

"Look at people's "Sour Plum Soup", they are also actors who engage in comedy, why is there such a big difference?"

“……”

Capital.

Bowl Drama Club.

Conference room, where the company's top management gathered.

In addition to the actors who are promoting outside, all the members who participated in the movie performance are present, and they can't wait to hold a celebration party to see the posture.

But that's right, among so many movies released at the same time, it won the second place on the first day, and it was because there were too few films scheduled in the second half of the day, and even most theaters only had one, so "Sour Plum Soup" failed to win the second place.

Especially in today's battle, the original morning sessions were moved to the afternoon, and "Insect Day" was moved to the morning, which shows that there is a lot of room for overtaking.

And as of the time of the meeting, the box office of "Sour Plum Soup" has reached 90 million, and it is only one step away from breaking 100 million.

"Hahaha!"

The boss of the Wanli Drama Club was very happy, and said with a very excited smile, "Prepare for the celebration banquet, it should be able to break 100 million today, and when the time comes, we will publicize it well, strive to make a big move, and win the first place today." ”

However, an actor said very badly: "Boss, "Infernal Affairs" is already 120 million, and the gap with me is 30 million, which is not easy to chase!"

The boss's smiling face was instantly contained, and his face was cloudy, glaring at him angrily: "Can you speak? Isn't it 30 million to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige? ”

"Boss's anger!"

An actress posted it with a smile, "I watched the film schedule and the number of scenes, and almost all of them were our film schedules from noon to evening, and I have a good chance of winning." But now I think the top priority is to increase publicity, cooperate with several film and television websites, and buy promotional space with TV stations, which will help us further box office hits. ”

"Well, I've bought advertising space with several film and television websites, but "Infernal Affairs" has also been bought, and "Insect Day" has also been bought, and this kind of publicity is actually somewhat flat!"

The boss said, "I have contacted the advertising directors of several satellite TV stations, and we will have dinner together tonight, hoping that they can give us the greatest help." ”

……

"Insect Day" was completely pounced, and the second day's film schedule was moved to after the morning, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among fans who bought tickets in advance, and they were unwilling to change their tickets, either because of time conflicts, or because they didn't want to get up early, so most of the audience chose to refund their tickets directly, so the box office of "Insect Day" on the second day was only less than 10 million.

Many people and companies who bet on "Insect Day" are crying to death, although many people support Li Zhifan on the surface, but secretly buy the shares of the Chinese issuing company of "Insect Day", hoping to take the opportunity to make a wave.

Huayi, in particular, not only bought stocks, but also bought out the online broadcast rights of "Insect Day".

After Hollywood blockbusters are broadcast on domestic film and television websites, they are all VIP broadcasts, and the income of VIP broadcasts is tortuous and difficult to enter the hands of the "Insect Day" production company on the other side of the ocean in one step, so they will choose to buy out the online broadcast rights at one time.

For this network copyright, Huayi also spent a lot of effort, broke his head with several domestic companies, and finally won the copyright at a price of up to 300 million yuan.

Unexpectedly, after two days, "Insect Day" was cold.

Although Austin secretly left China at night, the news was exposed.

Netizens carnival again:

"Haha! The American imperialist paper tiger ran away with his tail between his legs!"

"It's over so soon? Isn't it a one-month deadline? I thought there was a big fight where you chased me, haha, Hollywood blockbusters are just like that!"

"yes! won the battle so easily, should the schedule of "Infernal Affairs" be added?"

"It doesn't matter what kind of weekly appointment he has, in order to watch good movies, businessmen want to make money, popcorn movies like "Insect Day" are ugly and lose money, why do they keep dominating the film schedule?"

"Yes, a movie like "Insect Day" is an idol movie in the United States, and it is strange that it has achieved a good box office around the world by deceiving girl fans?

"It's not strange, just look at Rotten Tomatoes, the freshness is only 34%, which already means that it's a bad movie. ”

"There's no way, the actor is an international first-line little fresh meat, but it's a pity that we don't eat this set, the aesthetic standards are different!"

“……”

Timeline.

The whole company took a long breath, and Zhao Yiduo called Li Zhifan who was far away in Xiangjiang as soon as possible.

However, when Li Zhifan heard the news, he didn't have anything to be happy about, just oh, and said: "Then you continue to hold on, I'm filming here, I don't care about chatting, I'll talk about it later!"

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Yiduo looked confused - it seems that Li Zhifan had already predicted this situation, why didn't he have any joy?

In fact, Li Zhifan is not happy or unhappy about Austin's escape.

Because what he wants is not to win Austin, but to win the championship in the entire National Day file, but at present, it seems that it is not so easy, after all, there are other excellent films released at the same time, especially those family-friendly comedies, which do take away a lot of the box office, which shows that the people still like this set.

On the other hand, "Infernal Affairs", after watching it, it will only make people silent, depressed, and even crying, to be honest, Li Zhifan doubts that this schedule will be released, is it a wrong choice?

At the moment, he decided to release the second part in July in the summer file, and he may be able to have a chance to stand out.

……

United States.

The news of the loss of "Insect Day" in China has gone crazy in the American film industry.

Hollywood filmmakers are pitying, cold-eyed, and entangled...... Because "Insect Day" is not the first Hollywood movie to fail, there are two movies in front of it, "Steel Lancer 6" and "Dark Galaxy: Prequel", which have failed one after another, making Hollywood filmmakers a little suspicious of life - how is it that the Chinese film market, which used to be very profitable and profitable, is suddenly so unfriendly to Hollywood?

On the other hand, the New York film industry is sneering at Hollywood.

Everyone knows that the New York film industry is rich in art feature films, and this type of film has been selling better and better in China in recent years.

Because of political tendencies, because of democracy, because of whitewashing US imperialism and other reasons, it is not as good as Hollywood's movies that dare to directly blow up the White House, assassinate the president, and overthrow the CIA, which sell well in China.

When Austen returned to the United States, he went into hiding, and even the film company could not find him.

At this time, even more devastating news came one after another, that is, about the bet between Austin and Li Zhifan.

This incident shocked all the actors, companies, and even investors in Hollywood.

Because this bet is related to Austen's future movies, if he can't enter the Chinese market because of the bet, then most of the actors will not take the risk of taking it, most film and television companies dare not shoot the movies they produce for him, and investors dare not invest in his films.

Nowadays, the Chinese market is becoming more and more important to Hollywood and the United States as a whole.

But the other side of the bet is that if Li Zhifan wins, he is very likely to enter Hollywood, whether this legendary Chinese best filmmaker will come to Hollywood, whether he will occupy the market, and even whether Chinese culture will be exported to the United States, no one can say, no one can guarantee.

In fact, one of the iron laws of Hollywood movies is - racial equality!

If Chinese films want to enter Hollywood and achieve results, then the actors in the film must achieve racial unity, and black, white and yellow people join forces as a family.

Although the yellow race may be a little too big for a while as the protagonist, in the current mainstream American movies, the share of Asians and the proportion of shoulders have become heavier and heavier.

……

Domestic.

The box office results for the second day came out.

"Infernal Affairs" directly won 150 million box office on the second day, and with the box office on the first day, it has exceeded 200 million yuan.

and "Sour Plum Soup", which ranked second, also got a box office of 110 million in a single day, but unfortunately it failed to exceed 200 million in two days, which is a pity.

Because of Austin's "running away", the major theaters no longer care about his bet with Li Zhifan, and seize the opportunity to start adjusting the film schedule.

Many netizens will find that if you refresh it on the ticketing app, there will be one more "Infernal Affairs" or "Sour Plum Soup" in tomorrow's film schedule, and one less "Insect Day" or "Big Comedy: Joy Alliance".

In particular, "Big Comedy: Joy Alliance", 8% of the film was scheduled on the first day, but it has become 0.8% on the third day.

After the early morning of the third day, "Big Comedy: Joy Alliance" was urgently withdrawn, and the film director publicly stated on his fast blog: "Because of some mistakes in the production of the film, I am ready to return to the furnace and rebuild, and the remake will be moved to the first day of the Lunar New Year to be re-released." ”

After this quick blog was issued, it was immediately criticized by many netizens:

"Phew, rebuild, let's reshoot!"

"Just this movie, are you going to get the first day of the Lunar New Year to cheat money? Even if you watch the Spring Festival Gala at home, I won't watch you. ”

"The one upstairs said it, but he was wronged by the director, he only sold 100,000 yuan in three days, where did he cheat the money, and even the lunch box fee for the crew is probably not enough!"

"Aha, it's true, it can't be considered a cheat. ”

"But the theater chain has suffered! There are so many free shows, how good it is to be on "Unintentionally" or "Sour Plum Soup"!"

"The key is that it will be re-screened on the first day of the Lunar New Year, don't talk about it, there are gun versions on the Internet, everyone knows what kind of bird you have in this movie......"
