"The Animal Tamer" is finally about to be released.

The day after Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing accompanied Ivan in the building of Berlin Film Company and watched the full version of the film, Berlin Film Company held a premiere of "The Animal Tamer" and issued the last promotional poster of the film.

After the premiere, the distributors who came to the event almost rushed to sign a distribution agreement with Berlin Film.

After another three days, the theater company, which had been waiting for a long time, received a copy of the film and a screening permit.

On March 13, at 9 p.m., 7,000 screens out of a total of more than 20,000 movie screens in Germany's eight theaters will be screened at the same time.

……

The night breeze is blowing, and the stars and moon are all over the sky.

Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing walked into a movie theater near the hotel and bought two tickets for "The Animal Tamer".

The two of them walked down the black rumbling aisle and found their place to sit down.

There were not as many people in the theater as expected, only about 100 people.

Such an attendance rate made Guo Yujing can't help but show a disappointed look.

Wang Kefan patted her hand lightly and said with relief: "Don't worry, today is the first day, and many people don't know that there is this movie at all." ”

Guo Yujing nodded lightly, but there was still a trace of worry between her eyebrows.

At this moment, the whole audience suddenly went dark.

After a few seconds, the bright light on the screen is belated.

The video begins, and the subtitles are played.

Producer Andrew Michel, producer Mark von Ivan, producer Tony Andrés, director Mark von Ivan, leading actors......

When Guo Yujing saw Wang Kefan's German name appear on the screen, she involuntarily clenched Wang Kefan's hand, and the worry about the box office in her heart dissipated a lot.

The audience soon fell silent consciously.

And five minutes later, just like Michelle the other day, they all fell silent.

The atmosphere was heavy but not dull, and lasted for two full hours.

With the last shot, the moment the theme song sounded, Wang Kefan finally turned his head a little uncalmly and glanced at the exit of the theater.

The exit of the cinema hall. There wasn't a single figure.

In a huge movie theater. Hundreds of spectators, not a single one stood up and left!

The singing, which is very much in line with the emotions conveyed by the movie, makes every audience member sit honestly in their chairs and quietly watch the cast and crew roll down.

Wang Kefan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then the corners of his mouth curved, revealing a smile that meant victory.

When the song fell, the lights of the audience suddenly lit up. The audience finally broke free from the heavy emotions.

Guo Yujing also let out a long sigh of relief at this time, and said: "Although I can't remember the specific lines clearly, just looking at the plot picture, I still feel heavy in my heart." This type of film, I don't know what will happen to the box office in the end. ”

"It shouldn't be too bad." Wang Kefan said, "World War II." And the Jews, plus the fact that the film is ostensibly about the reflection on the war, these things should be enough to attract German audiences to the cinema. ”

He took Guo Yujing's hand, pulled her up from the chair gently, and said, "Let's walk back, I guess when we get back to the hotel, we will be able to see the latest movie reviews." ”

Guo Yujing snorted. walked out of the theater hand in hand with Wang Kefan.

Outside the theater. The audience who came out after watching the movie was not as Wang Kefan remembered. Immediately left.

Some people were standing in front of the big posters, looking for something in the credits.

Suddenly, Wang Kefan heard someone next to him holding up his mobile phone and saying, "Ralph, you should really come and watch this movie with me tonight." It's so well filmed, World War II movies, no, no, it's not a war movie, it has the flavor of a literary film, but the plot is very compact, the emotions are very moving, and the final theme song, after listening to it, it makes me feel like my chest is blocked with cotton......"

Wang Kefan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the young German voice go away. He translated this passage to Guo Yujing, and after Guo Yujing listened to it, he said quite calmly: "There is nothing surprising, the economy of the West is much more developed than ours, they have almost grown up watching movies since they were children, and they have received more knowledge about movies, and it is not surprising that they can see the quality of a movie." ”

She paused here, then showed a smile and said, "It seems that the reputation is good, I really want time to pass quickly, I really want to know how far the box office can go." ”

Slow down all the way back to your hotel.

After entering the room, Wang Kefan turned on the computer and checked the Internet for the first time, although there has been no professional film review, but in the film scores on the official websites of major cinema companies, "The Beast Tamer" has already shown a happy situation.

The first screening has only ended for half an hour, and the number of participants who scored "Beast Tamer" on the official website of the eight major cinemas added up to more than five figures.

Looking at the score again, among the eight official websites, the lowest score is 8.1 points, and the highest even reaches 9.3 points.

For literary and artistic works that have always been difficult to reconcile, this score is already outrageously high. What's more, it is not easy for a film with a vague genre like "Beast Tamer" to have such a reputation.

The box office of a movie is always proportional to word of mouth, and even if this film is only popular, it is enough for Wang Kefan's plan.

Just as Wang Kefan was staring at the numbers on the screen, silently calculating the box office for these three hours, the mobile phone suddenly rang.

It's Ivan's call.

On the other end of the phone, the voice of old Ivan sounded very excited.

He said loudly: "Mr. Nomoo, just now Michelle called me and told me that the tickets for the 12 midnight show of "The Beast Tamer" were sold out in 20 minutes! Today's box office has been counted in advance, and that's a number you must not guess! ”

"Okay then...... Let me guess ......"

As Wang Kefan spoke, he opened the website in Germany dedicated to counting the box office of movies, and found out "The Beast Tamer", Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing, who was standing beside him, were all stunned.

The long string of zeros made the two of them feel a little dumbfounded.

1019860 euros!

In just three hours, with almost no publicity, the box office of "Animal Tamer" actually exceeded 1 million euros!

Wang Kefan looked at this miraculous number, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly opened a music website.

On the download ranking of the day on this website, "Blood Soul" is impressively ranked first!

Wang Kefan held the mobile phone and was stunned and didn't say anything, and Ivan still yelled like crazy.

"Mr. Nomoo, Mr. Wang Kefan! You saw that, right? The people from Film Review just called me and they said they were going to ask me for an interview tomorrow. Nomoo! We did it! "The Animal Tamer" is a great work, thank God, you must be an angel sent by him! ”

At this time, Wang Kefan calmed down a little first, he was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Director Ivan, how much do you estimate that the box office of "The Beast Tamer" will be in the whole of Europe?" ”

The other head said excitedly: "30 million...... No! 50 million! It is entirely possible to break through 50 million euros! ”

"50 million euros...... Wang Kefan nodded, then covered his phone, turned to Guo Yujing and said, "Yu'er, the east wind is coming." (To be continued.) )
