Chapter 277: The Birth of a New Record
There are movies in the film industry that are not popular, and there may be a few movies every year, obviously the audience's reputation is good, but the box office just can't sell it.
Most of these films are art films, with themes such as exploring human nature, and the goal is generally not for the box office, but to impact major awards.
Xiang Laowei's "Sword and Spaceship" obviously does not belong to this category, "Sword and Spaceship" is a typical commercial blockbuster, with big investment, big directors, and a strong star lineup.
Well, some people may question the term "strong star lineup", because the male and female protagonists Yang Qi and Xue Xing are not top or first-line superstars in the film industry.
The popularity of the two of them is a little less interesting.
But if you want to say that the star lineup of "Sword and Spaceship" is not good, then there will definitely be more people who question it, because the star lineup of this movie, in addition to Yang Qi and Xue Xing, also has the joining of veteran actors Hu Yong and Guo Cheng, as well as Hollywood stars Amber Edson and Bonnie Blanche.
In addition, although Du Jun and Hui Shanhong, who participated in the show, are singers, they are not small, and they each have a lot of fans.
So, who would dare to say that the star cast of "Sword and Spaceship" is not good?
The big investment of 500 million has attracted the attention of countless fans, and most of the fans who did not immediately enter the cinema to buy tickets have not taken action, just waiting for the word-of-mouth after the release of this movie.
With Xiang Laowei's signboard, as well as the not-so-weak star lineup, coupled with the investment of 500 million, as long as I hear that the reputation of this movie is above the qualified line, there will definitely be a large number of fans entering the theater to contribute to the box office of this film.
If the word-of-mouth of this movie is popular, then more audiences will flock to the cinema, and even many people who have not paid much attention to the movie will be attracted to the cinema.
And now, the initial rating and word-of-mouth of "Sword and Spaceship" are out.
With an average score of more than 9 points, two or three hours after the release, nearly 30,000 people participated in the rating, and more than eighty percent of the praise, the most direct effect is the first-day box office calculated on the second day of release.
112 million.
The single-day box office on the first day of release exceeded 100 million, and if the exaggerated box office results immediately detonated all the film and television-related media, and all large and small media across the country rushed to report.
Among them, of course, there are news bought by distributors and producers, but more, the vast majority, are spontaneous reports by media of all sizes.
"The box office of "Sword and Spaceship" exceeded 100 million on the first day of release, setting a new domestic box office record!"
"112 million first-day box office, the box office of "Sword and Spaceship" is against the sky!"
"The combination of Xianxia and science fiction, Xiang Ying handed over the box office figure of 112 million on the first day!"
"Yang Qi and Xue Xingchu picked the pillars of large-scale commercial films, and the box office on the first day was amazing!"
"112 million first-day box office, the final box office prediction of "Sword and Spaceship"!"
……
The first-day box office of "Sword and Spaceship" is too scary, as soon as the first-day box office figure of 112 million is revealed, it immediately attracts countless attention, inside the circle, outside the circle, but those who heard the news, few can resist not continuing to pay attention.
On the third day of release, the box office data of the previous day came out, which immediately set off bigger waves.
- 134 million.
In the two days of release, the cumulative box office was 246 million, and the box office on the second day of release was higher than the first day.
On the movie network, the score of "Sword and Spaceship" finally dropped a point, 9.1 points, and the number of participants in the rating exceeded 60,000.
"Sword and Spaceship" is on fire!
The release time is increasing day by day, and the box office accumulation figures are becoming more and more exaggerated, and when it was released for a week, the box office figures for a week were counted and disclosed by the media, and many people couldn't believe it.
Weekly box office - 874 million.
In the seven days since its release, the new box office has exceeded 100 million every day, and some people on the Internet have already said that "Sword and Spaceship" can make money faster than robbing a bank, because even if it is a bank robbery, it may not be able to grab more than 100 million cash at a time.
However, "Sword and Spaceship" has not yet made money, because its total investment is 500 million, and according to the general law of the film market, the final box office figure generally needs to reach three times the amount of investment before it can start to make a profit.
So the problem is, "Sword and Spaceship" has a total investment of 500 million, and its box office can only be profitable if it exceeds 1.5 billion.
So, it would be inaccurate to say now that "Sword and Ship" has started to make money.
But it made a lot of money this time, but it is already a well-known thing, according to its current box office trend, in a few days, only a few more days, it can make money.
With its box office growth rate, how much it can ultimately earn for investors, the specific figure is difficult to estimate, but it must be in 100 million.
"It's possible for Xiang Laowei's movie to create such an exaggerated record, and ordinary directors may not have this possibility in their lifetime!"
It was Zhao Lili who said this.
With the amazing box office performance of "Sword and Spaceship" after its release, this night, she and Ying'er came to Cansen Snake Park to find Yang Qi in person.
Personally conveying this good news to Yang Qi is on the one hand, and on the other hand...... On the other hand, she hasn't said the purpose, and Ying'er hasn't mentioned it.
At this time of dinner, the Zhao sisters and Yang Qi sat around the table together, eating hot pot and drinking wine, the sisters had smiles on their faces, but they were more emotional.
The sky-defying box office of "Sword and Spaceship" has little to do with their sisters.
Because their sisters are not one of the investors of this film, Xiang Laowei's films, films invested by big companies such as Zuo Li Youhuang Film and Television Group, Star Pictures, Cellular Cinemas and Giant Film and Television Group, their sisters' sister Tao Record Company is not qualified to participate in the investment.
Even if Yang Qi is the male protagonist of this movie, they failed to intervene.
The original situation was: Xiang Laowei took a fancy to Yang Qi, but the major investors did not think that Yang Qi had to make this movie, with a big investment of 500 million, in fact, at that time, they persuaded Xiang Laowei to choose another superstar to star more than once.
Xiang Lao Wei insisted on his own opinion, and Yang Qi's position as the leading actor did not waver, as for the sister Tao Record Company, he wanted to participate in the investment?
Wash and sleep! No one will play with them.
This is a regret in the hearts of the Zhao sisters, recently watching the cumulative box office of "Sword and Spaceship" rise at a rate of more than 100 million every day, and the regret in their hearts has become bitter.
There was once an opportunity to make a lot of money in front of their sisters, and their sisters didn't cherish it, they wanted to cherish it, but unfortunately, the opportunity in front of them, they couldn't reach it on tiptoe.
"Sword and Spaceship", Yang Qi is the leading actor, and now that this movie is a big hit, of course their sisters also have benefits, such as Yang Qi's salary, their company has a share, for example, Yang Qi's fame will definitely rise because of the big sales of this movie, and their record company will definitely benefit from it.
But compared with directly participating in investment and directly sharing the box office revenue, the little thing they get is not worth mentioning.
