Chapter 591: Shock

Some people do the wrong thing and say the wrong thing, and will do everything possible to deny, avoid or simply play dead, but some people will apologize openly, even if it may affect their reputation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are a lot of big V and small V in the Inspur blog, both kinds of people, the number of the former is undoubtedly far more than the latter, and some even would rather lose money in a lawsuit than apologize, just worried that they will lose fans because of this.

Wang Xiaoxu is undoubtedly the latter.

He has a very good pen, and he never easily admits defeat in arguments with others in columns and blogs, but if he is really wrong, he will not fight for the sake of face.

At 10:05 p.m. on April 4, the well-known writer and film critic solemnly apologized to "A Chinese Ghost Story" and Lu Chen in his personal blog with 1.75 million followers.

The reason for the apology was naturally his questioning of the box office and peripheral sales of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in "Weekly Movie Talk" last time, and it turned out that he was wrong.

Because tonight, Wang Xiaoxu personally went to the theater to watch the movie and bought a peripheral product.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak, he admits that he has made subjective mistakes and has habitual prejudices against domestic films, but he did not expect "A Chinese Ghost Story" to be so good.

In this blog post, Wang Xiaoxu praised "A Chinese Ghost Story", believing that this movie has reached a very high level in terms of plot, characters, soundtrack and background props, including special effects scenes, especially in terms of soundtrack and character building!

The peripheral products of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are not only rich in quantity, but also excellent in quality, and the price is not very expensive, so it is both unexpected and reasonable to be able to achieve such high sales.

Whether it is the film itself or the peripheral products, the producers have achieved the word "heart"!

In the past ten years, the domestic film market has continued to be hot, coupled with the advent of the Internet era, film reviews are no longer limited to a few professionals, and netizens who talk about the film on online blogs and post bar forums abound.

But in this circle, Wang Xiaoxu is undoubtedly an influential film critic, and his film review articles not only appear in his personal blog, but also often publish in newspapers and magazines.

So when his film review written in the form of an apology was published on the blog, it immediately caused a lot of shock in the circle, and many insiders forwarded or commented on it.

When the fans who were originally sneering at Wang Xiaoxu saw it, they immediately changed their positions, praised Wang Xiaoxu's sincere apology, and forwarded it in large numbers.

The number of Wang Xiaoxu's blog fans quickly exceeded 2 million!

Many ordinary netizens who saw Wang Xiaoxu's blog post couldn't help but be curious about "A Chinese Ghost Story", and everyone wanted to see if this film that was so praised was genuine, and they ordered movie tickets online.

Although some people doubt whether Wang Xiaoxu received the money and joined forces with Lu Chen to hype, such a voice is too weak to set off any waves.

The reason is very simple, because the opponent facing "A Chinese Ghost Story" is an imported Hollywood blockbuster, not a domestic film with a huge investment, otherwise the doubts will be at least ten times louder.

Public opinion on the Internet can affect reality, especially the reputation of the movie, "A Chinese Ghost Story" on the first day of the box office of 38.75 million on April 2, the next day exceeded 40 million, the 4th reached 43 million, breaking 100 million in three days!

What is jaw-dropping is that on April 5, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" soared to 65 million+, and the film scheduling rate has exceeded 30%, which has strongly exploded "The Battle of Vulcan"!

"Battle of Vulcan" has been released for two weeks, and the box office decline is inevitable, but the problem is that since the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story", its box office decline trend is very starry, especially on the 5th, it has fallen to 37 million, losing to the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" of 28 million.

According to the words of a certain insider, it was an eyeball that shocked the ground!

"Battle of Vulcan" is aiming for more than a billion, and its chosen real opponent was originally Lion Pictures' fantasy blockbuster "Legend of the Holy Land", which will be released on April 9, and also a huge Hollywood blockbuster.

Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for the arrival of "Legend of the Holy Land", and lost to "A Chinese Ghost Story" first.

In terms of propaganda momentum, investment scale, and special effects scenes, "The Battle of Vulcan" can easily crush "A Chinese Ghost Story", and such a result is really surprising.

On April 6th, 7th, and 8th, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" continued to rise with the increase in the film scheduling rate, pulling out a dazzling big yang line, and on the 8th, the day before the release of "Legend of the Holy Land", the single-day box office exceeded 100 million!

For a domestic film, this is undoubtedly a miraculous existence, although it is not unique, but it is definitely the only case in recent years!

From April 2nd to 8th, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released for a week, and the box office reached 420 million in the first week.

The industry was silent.

Many people know that the investment in "A Chinese Ghost Story" is only 30 million, and the domestic publicity and marketing is basically just this number, even if the follow-up publicity investment is counted, it does not exceed 100 million.

The box office of 420 million has steadily recouped all costs and achieved considerable profits.

Not only that, the peripheral sales of "A Chinese Ghost Story" have also reached 80 million+, creating an unprecedented record for domestic films, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, and this sales performance has also greatly exceeded "The Battle of Vulcan".

A Hollywood blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars actually lost to a domestic movie in peripheral sales, which was unimaginable before, but now it has really come true!

This can't help but remind people of Lu Chen's previous bold statement on his blog, saying that "A Chinese Ghost Story" will win 500 million box office and more than 100 million peripheral sales.

At that time, except for Lu Chen's die-hard fans, not many people believed it at all, and many insiders were still secretly laughing at his arrogance, thinking that he was carried away.

So what about now? "A Chinese Ghost Story" has a box office of more than 500 million is not a problem at all, and it is not a dream to hit 1 billion, but it has such real potential.

The people who laughed at Lu Chen at the beginning are now all swollen faces!

The real surprise is still to come, on April 9, because of the release of "Legend of the Holy Land", "A Chinese Ghost Story" finally made people fall "relieved", with a box office of 87 million on the same day.

However, with almost the same film scheduling rate, the box office of "Legend of the Holy Land" can exceed 80 million, and it was defeated by "A Chinese Ghost Story", which has been released for 8 days on the first day!
