Lin Han got up from bed early in the morning refreshed, he has only been doing stretching exercises in his garden for the past few days, breathing some fresh air, and he does not dare to go out for a run.

A few days ago, he was scared by reporters, and even some reporters wanted to enter the villa area, fortunately, the security here is very qualified, otherwise, a lot of privacy will be exposed!

After a brief exercise, Lin Han came to the kitchen, at this time the day's newspaper had been delivered, he took a cup of coffee, and took a pile of newspapers to the small table in the garden.

Although the box office statistics can be viewed in real time now, he was still too nervous last night, so he turned off his mobile phone directly, saving himself from checking it every few minutes, and lest relatives and friends send messages to ask!

The headlines on the front page of the Yanjing City Newspaper in front of him couldn't attract him at all, and after turning directly to the entertainment gossip section, Lin Han laughed all over.

"The Midnight Show of "The Matrix 2" won 68 million yuan at the box office, setting a new record in mainland film history!"

It's hard not to see such a few big words!

"68 million? Yes, yes, I hope to hit 300 million today. ”

This midnight show is very good, higher than the total box office of quite a few movies, and Lin Han is already very satisfied.

From the beginning of the production of the "Matrix" series of films, until now, the once unattainable box office record is no longer unattainable at this time, as if you can touch the ceiling with an outstretched hand.

As long as the reputation in the back does not collapse, this sequel to "The Matrix" will definitely become the real overlord of this summer file!

Yanjing City Daily wrote: ""The Matrix 2" can be described as the most fashionable and avant-garde science fiction film in the world at the moment, attracting the attention of countless fans. As the most anticipated blockbuster in this year's summer file, "The Matrix 2" really opened the noisy and lively summer file, and the storyline of the previous episode is more fascinating, with wonderful computer stunts and martial arts design, the super cool modeling and wonderful performances of the male protagonists Chu Guang and Xu Jiayan, as well as the romantic love between Neo and Trinity, of course, it is more worthy of fans' expectations. According to experts, the box office of this film may hit 400 million on the first day, and it is expected to refresh a series of box office records!"

Next, Yanjing Entertainment News simply printed the stills of "The Matrix 2" on the front page, and the headline was: "68 million! Hackers swept the national box office!"

"At 12 o'clock last night, "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" was fully released nationwide, and the box office trend was excellent, which attracted unprecedented attention from fans and public opinion, in addition to the exciting box office, the excellent quality is also full of praise.

Since 11 p.m., millions of audiences have poured into major theaters across the country, and some theaters in Yanjing are hard to find. In the field, the premiere of The Matrix 2 was equally popular.

In Guangzhou, some people even sat on the aisle stairs to watch, and Feiyang Cinema set the highest box office record for a single opening session.

SH, Yonghua, Huanyi, UME, Xintiandi and other film cities also held promotional films, and the audience responded enthusiastically and the venue was full.

Today, "The Matrix 2" occupies 34% of the film schedule, and it does not occupy an obvious advantage in the film schedule, but it is difficult for the rest of the movies to shake the hegemony of hackers!"

The Capital Morning Post did not stop touting the pace, "Last night, the sequel "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" created by the original team of "The Matrix" was released nationwide, of which the midnight show earned nearly 70 million yuan, breaking the midnight box office record created by "Fast and Furious 8"!

In addition to the high-cost, large-scale special effects, the whole movie shows magical visual effects that are difficult to distinguish, and interprets the matrix world more abundantly and vividly.

What attracts the attention of hacker fans the most is the more action and special effects that surpass the past. In the mysterious and cold tones, the action of flying kicks, flying eaves and walls, high-speed speeding car shootout shots, Chinese kung fu and European tradition and hand-to-hand combat, various weapons such as knives, guns, swords and halberds are widely used in the film, as well as high-speed helicopter low-altitude chase and other pictures are also in the design, in addition to continuing the otherworldly skills in the first movie, the martial arts design of the second episode also looks more unpredictable, reaching the pinnacle to the extreme!"

Previously, Galaxy Pictures had to spend money to cooperate with these newspapers to let them report the news of "The Matrix 2" in advance, but now as soon as the box office comes out at midnight, these media can't wait to take the initiative to report it.

They will never miss any hot news, and the hottest movie in the summer is "The Matrix 2"!

……

"The Matrix" was released on November 25, 2017, "The Matrix 2" was released on June 9, 2018, and "The Matrix 3" will be released on February 5, 2019, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Almost every movie is only half a year apart, and such a blockbuster is released so quickly, which greatly shocks the audience's attention, and makes the audience forget the words The Matrix.

The battle line drags on too long, sometimes it may not be a good thing, many viewers will forget the previous works, and now the Matrix is concentrated in this short period of time, and it directly bursts out!

Lin Han turned on his mobile phone at this time, and he planned to see how the box office of "The Matrix 2" was doing today, and whether it was milked to death by the media and netizens.

WeChat messages popped up one after another, Ding Ding Ding was very annoyed, as a patient with slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, Lin Han had to click on these messages one by one, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the red numbers disappeared.

At this time, it was only more than 8 o'clock in the morning, but according to Maoyan's box office data today, the entire market has reached the point of 191 million yuan!

Among them, "The Matrix 2" supported half the sky, and its box office came to 108 million yuan, not counting the 68 million in the previous midnight show.

The latter movies can only drink the footwash water of "The Matrix 2", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" got 31 million, "Desperate Escape" 27 million, "Tarzan of the Apes" only 18 million yuan, and the rest of the movies together did not have a box office of 300,000!

Almost all of the box office has been absorbed by "The Matrix 2", obviously it only occupies 34% of the film schedule, but the box office proportion has come to 52%!

This is mainly because the attendance rate of "The Matrix 2" is too high, starting from noon on Friday, the attendance rate of most shows is above 80%, and even the golden show in the evening is gone!

After Lin Han took a serious look at the film schedule, he couldn't help but sigh, if his movie has 50% or 60% of the film schedule, it is not a problem to guarantee 3 to 4.

But 34% of the films scheduled are really a little less, but "Fast and Furious 8" accounted for 70% of the screenings on the first day of release, and a total of 139,000 movies were scheduled for it across the country!

The main reason is that the competition in the summer file is too fierce, "The Matrix 2" has great potential, but the rest of the films are not small productions, even if they are not optimistic about their box office, they have to be scheduled.

"Today's attendance rate is so high, tomorrow those theater managers as long as they are not blind, how can they cut some of the schedule of those movies. ”

Movie theaters also have to open their doors for business, and the attendance rate of "The Matrix 2" is so high, it must be more profitable than the rest of the movies, so as long as the current horror attendance rate can be guaranteed, then there is no need to worry about the next film schedule.

……

Galaxy Pictures is filled with a joyful and festive atmosphere, every employee walks almost floating, although the company is not big, but after two consecutive movies are a big hit, their bonuses and salaries are very considerable.

When Lin Han came to Miao Hong's office, this guy was smoking a cigar with his legs crossed, enjoying the moment of victory!

"Mr. Lin, do you want to try this Cuban cigar?

Miao Hong strongly recommended it, but Lin Han had never been interested in these cigarettes and cigars, so he shook his head and said, "No need, you can enjoy it slowly." Today, I specially came to the company to express my condolences to everyone, since the box office of the movie is so successful, I will give them red envelopes one by one later, which can be regarded as making the previous fatigue meaningful. ”

"There is a dinner party in the company tonight, will you come?" Miao Hong asked, "There is a hot pot and barbecue, and they plan to go to KTV in the evening." ”

Lin Han really wants to eat hot pot, as a mountain city native, he hasn't eaten hot pot for a long time, and his saliva is about to flow out at this moment.

So he replied: "I'll ask Chen Jiaxuan later, now that the movie is released, will our company continue to do publicity?"

Miao Hong spread his hand and replied, "Of course, publicity is more important now, many movies are not promoted much before the release, and crazy publicity can also be turned over after the release." We can't afford to take it lightly!"

"That's right, the movie doesn't end until it gets out. Even if it is released, we still have to sell network copyrights, DVDs and Blu-ray discs, and we can't be careless. ”

Lin Han worked hard to write so many books, and as a result, he made more money from making three movies of "The Matrix" than his previous manuscript fees and royalties!

However, without those royalties before, Lin Han would not have the money to make a blockbuster of this level.

"By the way, the company has analyzed that the popularity of our movies is likely to approach the total box office record in the mainland, although 3.3 billion yuan is a lot, it can still be reached in theory. So you can't be hibernating, so let's act quickly!"

"That's okay, I'll ask Yan Hong and Xie Xin to help me screen two suitable projects, and my old bones should also be dispatched. ”

Lin Han still wants to break the box office record in his heart, the global box office record is definitely not playing, but the domestic one, from the current point of view, it is really possible!

But it's still too early, and now that "The Matrix 2" is only on the first day of release, if you shout out the slogan of breaking the box office record, it is light to be laughed out, and if it is serious, it may cause a backlash from many netizens.

After all, the box office record of "Mermaid" is also accumulated by netizens, and it is estimated that there will be a fierce battle at that time!

Miao Hong and Lin Han didn't want to let this vicious battle advance, otherwise it would definitely be affected in public opinion.
