Chapter 47 Attendance is not ideal
"Huh, it's the first time I've been besieged by so many reporters, do you think I'll see the newspaper tomorrow?" Wu Huo said excitedly.
Compared with the midnight test screening earlier, the premiere scene this time is naturally much larger. Especially for the reporters who came, the formation of long guns and short cannons made young people like Wu Huo feel fresh for the first time. In the past, they were all nobodies and were not welcomed, but this time there will be reporters interviewing them, and they are naturally very excited.
But the hardest thing is naturally Zhang Baorong and Wang Xiaoxian, the two leading actors, who were asked for autographs by many fans when they left the scene. Zhang Baorong still loves his fans very much, and even took the time to sign them while replying to reporters.
Out of the Lisheng Theater, Chen Xiaodong was in good spirits, swept away the haze of the previous two days and said: "Go, I invite you to a nightclub to celebrate!"
"Okay, it's been a few months of hard work, it's either the company or the set, I'm tired and tired, go relax. ”
"Let's go, go to the newly opened Roddy in Mong Kok. ”
Liu Haitang and others applauded one after another, the premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was so successful, and the box office will definitely not be bad.
"Xiaoxian, you go with you!"
"Master Ma, you definitely can't run, haha. ”
As for the attendance rate of the premiere, I have already asked Ah Pao to go to the company, and I will tell us if there is news. ”
The director, producer, executive director, cinematographer, Wang Xiaoxian, Wu Ma and more than ten people rushed to Mong Kok, but unfortunately Zhang Baorong still had a scene early tomorrow morning, so he didn't go to play with everyone.
"You used to love me, love me, and sacrifice your life of youth to give me glory, so thank you for changing me one day, without words to dedicate, tenderness often makes me feel ashamed......"
In the private room, Chen Jialuo, who had always been nervous, sang with a wired microphone, causing everyone to scream. This MONIKA is Zhang Baorong's famous song, and it is also one of the most popular songs in nightclubs and discotheques now.
With Chen Jialuo's warm-up, everyone's wine glasses were staggered, and the atmosphere was extremely active. Especially Chen Xiaodong and others, they like to come to the nightclub to relax after their busy work. If it weren't for Wang Xiaoxian and other actresses to come, I was afraid that Chen Xiaodong would call a lot of young ladies to accompany them.
"Chief helmsman, you used to say that you were a fan of Rong Shao, and I laughed at you, but I didn't expect you to really like his songs so much!"
"Come, two big Chen guys, we toast you ......"
……
"What?"
The lively atmosphere lasted for about an hour, and when Ah Pao rushed over, the originally staggered private room began to gradually cool down.
At first, everyone's faces were full of joy, after all, the midnight test screening and premiere ceremony of "A Chinese Ghost Story" were well received, and the box office of this movie would not be bad.
But the news brought by Ah Pao made their smiles freeze, and then they became a little bitter.
"Brother Xiaodong, there is feedback from various theaters on the Lei Zhen Cinema Line. Except for a few movie theaters in Yau Tsim Mong area that are full, the tickets for several other movie theaters are not selling well!"
There are nearly 40 cinemas under Lei Zhen Cinema Line, and it is a great support to come up with more than 20 of them to premiere "A Chinese Ghost Story" at once. I didn't expect that "A Chinese Ghost Story", which has a good momentum, will actually be Waterloo? At the beginning, there were many movie theaters that were not full, and the tickets in the back must not have sold very well.
Such news is definitely a major blow to Chen Xiaodong and them. Everyone was hugging and celebrating each other, and it was like falling into hell!
Wang Xiaoxian, who originally felt that he was going to become an instant hit, was a little dumbfounded, which was not a good sign. She took over this movie, and she also took a great risk. And the hard work during filming is better than that of Zhang Baorong and others.
"It shouldn't be!"
"The previous propaganda has been very good, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this. ”
Could it be that this movie is about to Waterloo?
A similar situation has not happened before, and there have been several movies that have been favored by insiders, media reporters, and many film critics. But in terms of box office, the response was mediocre.
The former Xu You is undoubtedly a representative figure!
And Chen Jialuo's "Night in Mong Kok" that year was also like this. Could it be that the curse of 'applauding or not applauding' is going to fall on Chen Jialuo's head again?
At this time, Chen Xiaodong and others can imagine tomorrow's media reports. Thinking back to the high-spirited appearance in front of those reporters just now, doesn't it look like a clown now?
If a movie does not have a good premiere, then it is normal for the box office to fail. If you want to rise in the later stage and sweep the box office rankings, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream!
"What are you doing with sad faces? Our movies don't have big casts, no big productions, isn't it normal to encounter cold scenes at the beginning?" Chen Jialuo said with a smile.
Chen Xiaodong said with a bitter face: "But Ah Luo, if a movie doesn't work well at the box office at the beginning, it's difficult to get off again." ”
"Didn't you see the reaction of the audience today? The reason why the box office of the premiere is not very good is entirely because there are so many new films released today. The audience must have a selective viewing, even if they don't listen to word-of-mouth and wait to watch the previous movie, maybe they will watch "A Chinese Ghost Story" again. When the time comes, plus the audience watching in various theaters today, when the time comes, what kind of box office will you worry about? You guys! There is no need to be in a hurry!"
Chen Jialuo said eloquently: "Do you know the layout of the cinemas under our Lei Zhen Cinema Line? Although it is the largest cinema chain in Xiangjiang, most of the cinemas are in the New Territories and other places. At this point, the attendance rate will definitely not be comparable to the cinema in the Yau Tsim Mong area!"
"Believe in yourself, believe in our movie, it's definitely no problem!" Chen Jialuo raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Come, cheers, everyone, continue singing!"
"The helmsman is right, we don't need to be anxious, we will know what the situation is tomorrow. Come and celebrate today, just relax!"
Liu Haitang was the first to adjust his mentality and raised his wine glass. Soon, Wu Huo and the others also showed smiling faces and became lively again.
Worried about the box office?
In fact, the real pressure of this kind of thing is the director and producer, even if it is an actor, there is no need to worry too much. They all do things with money, and if they shoot well, they will naturally be better, and they will not sell well at the box office, but as long as they are not big bad movies, they will not have a big impact.
Here, Chen Jialuo talked eloquently to appease everyone and continue to have fun, but the next day the newspaper in Xiangjiang instantly exploded. The most reported is not which movie is how good or bad it is, not which premiere is more grand, and how many stars come......
