Chapter 231: Box Office War
At midnight, there were not many people at the ticket office, but when they arrived at the viewing hall, the two found that there were really a lot of people, and the huge viewing hall was half full. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoYou must know that it's midnight now, and not everyone has the leisure to come here to watch a movie without sleeping. It can be seen that the marketing of "Night Banquet" is really good.
The two found a place to sit down, the movie had not yet started, and at this time the trailer released by "Night Banquet" was playing on the big screen. Tang Wei was next to Gu Wenwu, looking at the stars who kept sweeping on the trailer, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of movie do you say this will be?" ”
"You'll know if you see it." Gu Wenwu said. said that in his previous life, he really hadn't watched "Night Banquet", mainly because the film's reputation was not good, and Gu Wenwu didn't chase stars, so he didn't bother to go into the theater to watch it. I don't know what will happen to the "Night Banquet" in this world.
"Mr. Gu is so calm, are you also very nervous in your heart, if this movie is really that good, you must be under a lot of pressure." Tang Wei said.
"Ms. Tang Wei, I solemnly tell you one thing, that is, men, you can't say no, especially a pure man like me, pressure or something, it's just a floating cloud for me." Gu Wenwu is a serious way.
"Cut, it's you." Tang Wei scoffed at Gu Wenwu's words.
"Why, it seems that our Ms. Tang Wei is a little unconvinced, I think the lesson of yesterday is still a little insufficient, I will go back after watching the movie, just don't beg for mercy." Gu Wenwu said with a smile.
"You're going to die." Tang Wei's face turned red all of a sudden, and her little hand pinched the soft flesh on Gu Wenwu's waist and didn't let go, it was so sour, it was really a heart-warming and cool heart.
"It hurts, it hurts, the woman spares her life, the movie starts, let's watch the movie." Gu Wenwu hurriedly begged for mercy.
Hearing that the movie had begun, Tang Wei spared Gu Wenwu, turned her head, and began to watch the movie seriously, perhaps because it was late at night, and she couldn't help yawning as soon as she started watching Tang Wei.
Looking at Tang Wei's side face, Gu Wenwu was suddenly a little moved. In fact, many things do not need to be said, it is enough to understand what the other party has done for you.
……
On June 1st, the two blockbusters "Night Banquet" and "The Great Detective: Behind the Scenes" were released at the same time, and from zero o'clock, the war between the two films has officially begun. Regarding this showdown, a kind of media and the people who eat melons have been waiting for almost a month, and everyone is curious about who can be the one who has the last laugh.
There is no special holiday in June, and June 1st is not Children's Day. Naturally, the peak period of movie-watching is concentrated on Saturdays and Sundays. And June 1st is Saturday. On the first day of the premiere, and caught up with the weekend, it can be said that the box office comparison of this day is extremely valuable, and many reporters are already ready to move, just waiting for the box office results on the first day.
If it was before, the movie was released, and Gu Wenwu would be relaxed. But now he still has to run the propaganda hard. To be honest, Gu Wenwu felt that he was living more and more.
At the previous meeting, Gu Wenwu took the whole group of people all over the country. In this roadshow, Gu Wenwu decided to go less. He didn't go to any cinema or cinema, and went straight to the university. And his first stop was naturally his alma mater, Capital Entertainment University.
Now young people are the main force of movie-watching. And college students are an important part of young people. I think why "Journey to the West" was praised on the altar at the beginning, not to thank those college students. If it weren't for their word of mouth, "Journey to the West" might just be a bad movie that hit the street at the box office, and then it was buried in the long river of film history, and in the end, only Zhou Xingchi's fans still remember that their idol made such a movie.
There is a saying that wealth and nobility do not return to their hometowns, just like brocade clothes at night, who knows. This time back to his alma mater, Gu Wenwu had a feeling of returning home. Due to the early morning with the school, the school is also very welcome for Gu Wenwu to return to the school to hold a roadshow, after all, Gu Wenwu can be said to be the best graduate of Shouyu University in recent years. When other graduates in the same class were still struggling with their first film or mixed their qualifications, they were already on the front line, and even won foreign awards. For such an excellent student, the school naturally has to support it.
On the day of the roadshow, because it was a weekend and the school had publicized the event in advance, the school's gymnasium, which can accommodate 3,500 people, was actually full at this time, and there were students who were constantly entering it. Obviously, everyone wants to see this legendary senior.
At the entrance, there was not only a banner welcoming the crew of "The Great Detective: Behind the Scenes", but also a poster of Gu Wenwu standing at the door. The picture on the poster is Gu Wenwu holding the Golden Lion Trophy for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival and delivering his acceptance speech, and at the bottom is his relevant introduction.
"Sure enough, it's my alma mater, so it's really face-saving." Gu Wenwu was very satisfied.
As soon as the group entered the venue, thunderous cheers rang out, and it was obvious that everyone had been waiting for a long time.
The roadshow went very smoothly, although everyone was a little disappointed without Cheng Daoming, but it was worth the trip to see Gu Wenwu.
"That's all for today's roadshow, I hope you can support Senior Gu Wenwu and support "The Great Detective: Behind the Scenes", "The Great Detective: Behind the Scenes" has now been screened in Wanda theaters across the country, and students who want to see it must hurry up." The host is an outstanding student of the broadcasting department selected by the school, and the girls are very excited throughout the whole process, but fortunately, the professional quality is excellent, so there is nothing wrong. In this way, the roadshow trip of Capital Entertainment University ended perfectly.
Roadshows are generally focused on the first ten days after the release of the film. It is impossible to run all over the country in these ten days, generally speaking, everyone picks up major cities and runs in teams, which is the most efficient.
However, with Gu Wenwu's temperament, he naturally wouldn't torture himself like this. His decision was to run as many as he could, and only to run schools, only to well-known schools.
Just when Gu Wenwu and his party just left the hotel and were about to leave for the next school, the box office results of the first day had already been released.
"Mr. Gu, Wanda has already passed over the first-day box office statistics." Li Yefeng personally reported this matter to Gu Wenwu, because he knew that Gu Wenwu was very concerned about this matter.
"Say, I'll listen." Gu Wenwu said.
"According to the data they came, on the first day of its release, "The Great Detective: Behind the Scenes" grossed 20.8 million." Li Yefeng said.
To be reasonable, Gu Wenwu is very satisfied with this achievement, and the box office broke 20 million on the first day of release, which may be a number that many movies can't reach until the next painting.
"As for "Night Banquet", its first-day box office has also come out." Gu Wenwu asked.
"The box office of "Night Banquet" on the first day was higher than ours, with a total of 23.35 million." Li Yefeng said.
