Chapter 157: The Pawn of the Horse
"Love is selfless letting go!" "Youth Comic Daily" used this title as today's front-page headline to describe "Five Centimeters per Second", the first paragraph above reads: "The comic is less than a month after the end, "Five Centimeters per Second" launched a movie, Mr. Qingbai's work did not disappoint his fans, this is a large-scale boutique animated film, its gorgeousness shocked the public's attention, according to the reporter of this newspaper, this work should have been premeditated by the other party, and its purpose is to participate in the film festival at the end of August. From the perspective www.biquge.info of works, this work is one of the most successful adaptations, and it is natural that this situation occurs, after all, the adaptor and the original author are the same person, which is his biggest advantage. ”
In the largest entertainment newspaper in the demon capital, "Entertainment News", "Five Centimeters per Second" also occupies a place: "Qin used to be the strongest in China in terms of animated films, but now, I have finally found a work that can compete with Qin." Here, it fully affirms the style, pictures, songs and stories of "Five Centimeters per Second", all in all, this is a work that is bound to be popular.
Even the "Dongdu Express" in Dongying commented: "Qingbai may be a man possessed by the god of luck." ”
The first day ended in such a vigorous situation.
Early the next morning, the box office for the first day was released. The box office revenue of "Five Centimeters per Second" is 31 million. When the number came out, everyone was stunned. It's not because it's too low, it's too high, this data simply means that the average attendance rate of "Five Centimeters per Second" has reached more than 95%, but what has this work done? Overwhelming publicity? It is indeed overwhelming publicity, but even if the publicity is good, the cinema can't help it if they don't admit it, they stipulate that there are up to three shows a day on the grounds that there are too few fans in other regions. And this kind of attendance rate means that the next day Qingtian Group will inevitably increase the number of "Five Centimeters per Second", businessmen are mercenary, as long as they can make money, they will be black cats and white cats.
After the box office was released, the eyes of comic companies and publishing houses all looked at the king, the gap between the first-day box office of 31 million and the highest record of animated films of 57 million is not big, and the gap between the two sides on the first day of pomp has almost doubled, and this also means: If the two are brought together to the same level, maybe the results of "Five Centimeters per Second" will be better than each other.
However, his family knows his own affairs, Wang Chengji knows very well that it is useless to schedule too many scenes, the circulation of "Cat Watch" is not high, and the spread is not wide, although the advertisement of the movie has been played, it is not considered a success. In such a work, too many shows will make the theater appear empty, which will make the viewer's first sense worse, so the number of screenings is a little less, everyone squeezes it, maybe there will be a miracle effect, and his son said that this is a work that relies on word-of-mouth transmission, Wang Chengji is willing to bet this time, so he will agree to the minimum standard of three shows a day.
The next day, the number of "Five Centimeters per Second" increased from four to five, which was discussed between Tianwang Group and the other party at the beginning. If the daily attendance rate can reach 90%, then the next day will have to add one more game, capped at 15 games per day.
In the capital, the famous pedestrian street, the country's largest Dynanine Cinema is located here, with 30 screening rooms, 24 hours a day, movies are shown non-stop, and you can see works from almost all countries. But in the past few days, there has been a pink cherry blossom quietly on the originally popular poster board in this theater, which is the promotional poster of "Five Centimeters per Second" produced by Tianwang Group, and this promotional poster has now been hung all over the world.
At the ticket office of the movie theater, there are three long queues, all of them are fans who are buying five centimeters per second. During this time, under the word of mouth of fans, it has become a new trend to go to watch "Five Centimeters per Second" with family or girlfriends, and you can often see a person queuing in front of you, and a family standing next to you cheering and cheering, and this also makes the tickets that are not too many will be sold out in a short time, but fortunately, the number of screenings in this theater has reached 40 times, which barely appeases all fans.
These days, the single-day box office of "Five Centimeters per Second" has continued to rise, 51 million, 97 million, 150 million, 230 million, until yesterday's 270 million, the increase finally showed a downward trend, so that all the experts were dumbfounded, they originally predicted that it was 1 billion box office, but now? It has only exceeded 800 million in six days, according to this increase, the box office in the first week has steadily exceeded 1 billion, and the total box office is 1 billion, and the face is beaten. And this also confirms the comment of "Dongdu Express", he is a man who can create miracles.
In the end, the box office reached 1.12 billion in the first week, only 40 million short of the strongest American drama "Future Starship" in China this year.
In the eyes of some investors and entrepreneurs, the meaning behind the box office is greater than its benefits. This proves that animated films also have the potential to become best-selling films, rather than children's films, and this situation shocks all those who work in the film and television industry, and at this critical juncture, they have the strength to win awards and have another opponent to grab food.
ACG-related industries have also taken advantage of this shock to stop the decline, and the entire market has a trend of prosperity again, and even the editorial department has increased its contributions.
Many frustrated cartoonists also see a new way out. They can go to big companies, and the other party needs to make money by taking advantage of the trend of "Five Centimeters per Second", and they can sign contracts with these companies to draw short stories, as long as the quality is acceptable, there is no problem with food and clothing. Therefore, the hearts of many low-level cartoonists are very grateful to the Qingbai teacher who created this form, originally they couldn't eat at all, and they had to paint a lot of money every day to buy painting utensils, this group of people are almost all in debt to make a living, those who stick to it, either have a good family background, or really like this industry, and the family is good, naturally they don't care about this star, and those who like it will be grateful to Dade.
Recently, there was also a shocking news in the circle of cartoonists - Qingtian Group recommended that "Five Centimeters per Second" be released abroad.
When Wang Ming received the news, he was also shocked, he really couldn't imagine that the other party had such great courage. On the phone, the other party said this-
"Teacher Qingbai, you also know that my country's two-dimensional market is being invaded by foreign countries, and neither the country nor I personally want to see this situation. Therefore, this work of yours is very important, this is a stepping stone for the two-dimensional culture of our Dragon Kingdom, we need a good work to open up the foreign market, and this "Five Centimeters per Second" will become a pawn, you also have this potential, I hope you can create a better work. ”
