Chapter 600, go watch "Wolf Warrior"!
"Banned?"
A room full of people seemed to have been struck by something, and some people were even ambitious.
When making movies in China, the first thing that comes to mind is how to pass the review, how to not violate the minefield, and let your works be released in domestic theaters.
But every film practitioner will have a minefield in his heart that he wants to touch.
Not all filmmakers are artists, but all filmmakers have thought about making an NC-7 film that shocks the world, even if it is badly made, but it has enough minefield shots, and it will cause waves around the world.
If Master Zu appreciates food and can make an R-rated film, it will be even cooler if it can be released in theaters in the United States!
Since these four bigwigs have entered Hollywood, they definitely need stepping stones and pioneers, and what the men want to do at the moment is to figure out how to take advantage of this opportunity.
Others have given the way, they have to go, otherwise everything is empty talk.
……
Time flies, April 29 finally comes.
"Wolf Warrior", which has been promoted for a long time, will be released simultaneously in major theaters across the country at 8 pm on the 29th.
According to the real-time box office statistics of theaters across the country, as of eight o'clock, the pre-sale box office of "Wolf Warrior" has exceeded 20.3 million before the opening of the painting, which is far ahead of the movies of the same period, and "Gunfire Glory", which will be released 28 hours later, has a pre-sale box office of only 130,000, which is not even a fraction of "Wolf Warrior".
Zhu Tiancai's family also has its own theater, and it accounts for 7% of the market, although Zhu Youxue can't control the Zhu family theater not to release "Wolf Warrior", but it can still be done by giving low-ranking films.
But it's just a little lower than other theaters, after all, the old men on the board of directors will not be at the mercy of him as a kid, after all, the company is still to make money.
Despite this, Li Zhifan is still very confident that he will use "Wolf Warrior" to beat "Gunfire Glory", and the results can already be seen at this pre-sale box office alone.
Today is Saturday, at eight o'clock in the evening, countless people from all over the country flocked to the theater, all to watch this "Wolf Warrior 2".
The tickets for the premiere have long been sold out, and many people have bought the earliest tickets, which are also for tonight's 0:00 screening, which is still the case of increasing advance tickets, and the pre-sale before the opening of the painting is only the number of screenings and seats from 8 o'clock on April 29 to 0:00 on May 3, and after the opening of the painting, the box office will be pre-sold for a week after May 3.
If the pre-sale box office of the first four days does not sell 100,000, then it is very likely that it will stop in these four days and will not open the pre-sale box office of the next week.
Like "Gunfire Glory" is really a risk, the pre-sale box office of 130,000 has just reached the passing line, while "Wolf Warrior" is extraordinary, and the pre-sale box office of 20 million is already a high achievement.
……
16 hours after its release.
April 30 at 12 noon.
Li Zhifan and the "Wolf Warrior" team participated in a "Red May-Labor Day" theatrical performance in Jinggangshan.
As soon as the event ended, Li Zhifan immediately took out his mobile phone and opened an APP called [Ticket], which counts the national box office in real time every day, and checked the box office situation on the first day of "Wolf Warrior", but Li Zhifan was not very satisfied.
As of now, the real-time box office is only 70 million?
70 million in 16 hours, 8 hours away from 24 hours, even if the box office is counted to 0 o'clock, it is counted as 12 hours, at most it is over 100 million box office, this data is really a bit miserable compared to last year's "Mekong Operation"!
"Zhifan!"
Wang Yue changed his clothes and got into his car, and asked urgently, "How much is the box office now?"
"Seven thousand two!"
Li Zhifan sighed, "No, you still have to speculate, you have to publicize!"
"Is it because of the weekdays?"
Wang Yue said, "Although it is Saturday and Sunday, according to the national holiday schedule, these two days are shifts, and many people are still busy going to work, maybe the May Day Golden Week effect will be good?"
"Hmm!" Li Zhifan nodded silently, "Maybe!"
……
In the afternoon, the plane landed at Pudong Airport.
Li Zhifan and his entourage came out of the airport and went directly to the largest cinema in Shanghai, where they will hold a film ground publicity event.
In the square outside the theater, there were crowds of people, and when I looked at it densely, I didn't feel that my scalp was numb.
"Let's go!
Li Zhifan got out of the car and rushed to the front and walked into the special passage that had been arranged.
He's in a hurry, with a bracing pace, but at the same time waving and smiling at the cheering fans around him.
The others who followed behind had a different attitude, they couldn't be said to be lazy, but everyone was really tired, but for the sake of publicity, they were still fighting their spirits, and the fatigue on their faces was also obvious.
"Hello everyone!"
Li Zhifan took the microphone and went directly to the stage, he acted as the host himself, and he didn't need to prepare anything in advance, anyway, he had already held several promotional activities in a row, and what he said and did was almost the same.
"Good !!!"
The shouts below were like thunder, and thousands of people shouted with their mouths wide open.
"Sorry we're late!"
Li Zhifan said with a smile, "Because the plane was delayed, as soon as we got out of the airport, we rushed over, I hope you don't mind!"
"Don't mind!"
"Ahhh
“……”
This time the audience shouted and said everything.
Taking this opportunity, the main creative team appeared one by one, including Ole and Lilith, who did not go to Jinggangshan in the morning, and came to Shanghai first.
Of course, Li Zhifan wants to introduce these two people ceremoniously: "First of all, before I go into a tirade, I would like to introduce you to two friends from Hollywood, they are Ole and Lilith, everyone is welcome!"
As long as you are a movie fan, you know Ole, and as long as you are a fan, you know Lilith.
Although Lilith released an album last year, and sang a Chinese-style "Jasmine" with Liu Yuan, there is still no wave in the world music scene, the song "Jasmine" has attracted a lot of attention in China, but people's eyes are on Liu Yuan's solo version.
Now that Lilith is here, singing is inevitable.
Then this "Jasmine" is naturally to be sung, and it is sung with Ole and Li Zhifan.
Different from Liu Yuan's treatment, Li Zhifan's "Jasmine" is more elegant, closer to Chang Shilei's version, and full of oriental R&B flavor.
Ole's singing is a bit straightforward, he is not a professional singer himself, sing a few words, show off his thick and rough voice, and the Mandarin is not standard, a little with Lilith and Li Zhifan, just a little low voice.
After singing a song, Li Zhifan returned to the hosting session and talked to Lilith and Ole in the form of an interview.
They answered in English, and Li Zhifan had to translate it to the audience, but if they asked so, it would definitely be boring, so Li Zhifan also asked them to learn to speak Chinese, and to say "hello", "I love China", "I love you", etc.
The two of them began to learn these words when they were in the crew, so that they could be used during the roadshow, and now they are getting more and more talking.
And Lilith herself is particularly fluent in Chinese, but the audience doesn't know it.
Therefore, Lilith will say a few other words in Chinese during the interview, which is fast and accurate, which really amazes many people at the scene.
The event was over, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Li Zhifan looked at the mobile app again, it has been 24 hours at this time, and the box office has exceeded 100 million, but it is only 117 million yuan, which is still a little worse than "Mekong", I just hope that after the start of tomorrow's holiday, it will be able to rise a wave!
……
Zero.
May 1 is finally here.
The premiere of "Gunfire" opened, and a second before the opening of the film, their advance box office barely exceeded 250,000.
And "Wolf Warrior" won 140 million box office at zero o'clock, and in the last four hours, the strong audience contributed 23 million box office, which broke the previous hourly growth rate and allowed Li Zhifan to see a glimmer of light.
Xinfeng Entertainment.
Zhu Youxue anxiously paced back and forth.
"Mr. Zhu, it's time to paint!"
The secretary walked in and said, "Our pre-sale box office has passed 250,000, but ......"
After thinking about it for a while, the secretary still had the courage to say: "This box office is still a fraction of what Li Zhifan's "Wolf Warrior" is. ”
Crash!
Zhu Youxue swept a pile of documents on the table to the ground, jumped directly on the table, hugged his arms and said, "Then how much is the real-time box office of "Wolf Warrior"?"
"140 million!"
The secretary whispered, "Well, although this year's record has been set, it is not very high compared to his last "Operation Mekong", and it is a 28-hour box office. ”
"How long will it take for us to catch up with this number?"
Zhu Youxue frowned and asked.
He didn't expect Li Zhifan to really go toe-to-toe with him, and it was released 28 hours earlier than him.
But now that they've bumped, let's roll up our sleeves and have a good fight!
But when the pre-sale box office of the two parties collided together, Zhu Youxue was bottomless, but "Gunfire Glory" had just been released, and it was less than an hour, and he secretly felt that there would be a miracle, that is, he would come from behind - "Wolf Warrior" is getting lower and lower, and his "Gunfire Glory" is getting higher and higher, and finally within a week, it will surpass "Wolf Warrior"!
I have to say that Zhu Youxue is still very whimsical.
"Let's go to the cinema!"
Zhu Youxue jumped off the table, "Buy me a movie ticket!"
"Okay, let's go to the genius studio next door! I'll contact their theater manager, but our premiere has already begun. Mr. Zhu, if you want to watch it, you can only watch it!"
"Who said I want to watch my own movie?"
Zhu Youxue waited for the secretary, "Go watch "Wolf Warrior", know that the other side can win all battles, find out the loopholes in his movie, and then find a big V and marketing account to criticize, and give him a one-star negative review on that beep!"
"Yes!"
The secretary nodded again and again, and then asked, "Why don't you invite a few big Vs to watch it together?"
"No need ......"
Zhu Youxue spoke, and shouted again: "Wait a minute, call the autumn knife to cut the fish, and contact the genius hand, let him come over immediately, and you can also go to see it together, four people!"
"Okay!"
The secretary bent over and turned, ready to leave again.
As soon as he walked to the door, Zhu Youxue ordered again: "By the way, you must buy a ticket! Don't let people hold the handle, saying that I take advantage of his "Wolf Warrior" in my own theater. ”
Zhu Youxue is a very eccentric person.
He is a rich second generation, but he is also an Internet celebrity, but he doesn't want to be so secretive as ordinary Internet celebrities, he has always been high-profile on the street, wearing a baseball cap, a very casual T-shirt, and sometimes even sunglasses.
And there is never a shortage of people around him, both men and women.
After a while, the autumn knife and the genius hand came.
The name of the genius hand sounds like a boy, but she is a big beauty, she is a Tajik ethnic group, so it has a bit of a mixed-race taste, Zhu Youxue loves this mouthful.
In addition, Genius Hand is her fast blog name, and now it has become a brand, starting by drawing some interesting jokes and cartoons on the Internet, and its popularity is not small in the Internet celebrity circle.
Zhu Youxue has known her for a long time, but she has always been a netizen, and the first time she met was a few months ago, and after finding out that she was a beauty, she was immediately admitted to the harem.
"Let's go!"
Zhu Youxue took a brand-new baseball cap, the background color is dark green, and there are three red words "genius hand" on it, this hat is a self-created product of genius hand, but this type is only such a model, and it is also specially customized for Zhu Youxue by genius hand.
"What are you going to do?"
The genius held Zhu Youxue with one hand, and quietly hooked the autumn knife with the other hand, signaling him to follow, and the three of them walked out of the room together.
"Go to the movies!"
Zhu Youxue strode forward, the genius hand was like a penguin being dragged along, Xiao Xiaobu followed aside, and the autumn knife chopping fish secretly flirted with the other hand of the genius hand from time to time, and the three formed a very special combination.
Going down the hall on the first floor, the secretary was already waiting.
She also walked beside Zhu Youxue, but on the other side, and said at the same time: "Mr. Zhu, I have already informed the manager of the hospital, and they are going to open a separate hall for you to put aside." ”
"No!"
Zhu Youxue raised his right arm and shook one finger, "Let's wait, by the way, observe the audience who bought tickets to enter, and see which movie has more people watching tonight." ”
The scheduling of "Brilliant Gunfire" in genius theaters is outrageously high, after all, how can you support your own movies, even if other theaters across the country may not even have a third of the film schedule, but Zhu Youxue feels that if you don't care, a good movie will shine!
"Yo! there are a lot of people!"
Zhu Youxue and his entourage walked to the door, and at a glance, the entire theater was full of people, inside and out, and it seemed that everyone was queuing up to watch a movie, and most of them were student parties and couples.
When the manager of the hospital heard that Zhu Youxue was coming, he had been looking forward to it for a long time.
Seeing the secretary beckoning, he immediately rushed over with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhu, please, I will open a separate hall for you!"
"Don't mind!"
Zhu Youxue waved his hand, "I don't do specialty, I watch it with everyone, and by the way, I can observe the reaction of the audience." ”
"But, but ......"
The manager was stumbling and seemed to be in a quandary.
