886 spooky box office
As the release of the film approached, the surprise promotion of the film was officially launched. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info these leading actors are very face-saving, and every time they are promoted, even if they are busy, they have to squeeze out time.
Even Liu Anran, who had made up his mind not to participate in a propaganda, was not spared, and was still dragged by Edward.
This film is not only important to Liu Anran, but also to MGM. Liu Anran won the award, that was his business, and it was also MGM's opportunity to shorten the target distance.
The hard publicity was not in vain, so that the box office results of this film after its release were very different from those in Liu Anran's memory.
On the first day of release, the box office was $10.75 million, which is quite normal in the eyes of the media. Even if it is an R-rated film, Liu Anran's appeal is there.
But after the box office results came out the next day, everyone felt that something was slightly abnormal, and it reached 19 million dollars. On the third day, it was about the same as this box office result, with a few more fractions. The box office performance in the first week was a whopping $49 million, which is really impressive.
The number of screens invested in this film is not large, only 3,300. If there are about 4,000 screens, such box office results are normal.
The first thing that comes to the media's mind is whether Liu Anran or MGM has cheated on box office results. However, after two days of on-the-spot investigation, they found that there was no fraud at all.
It can be said that the reason why there is such a high box office is that Liu Anran's fan group has played a huge role.
In fact, before the release, this fan group had been organized in private, and as long as the age reached the standard, they were mobilized by them. The box office results of this first week are still a bit conservative, after all, the number of screens released is too small, and some regions have the problem of not being able to contribute.
When Liu Anran saw these news in the newspaper, his heart was still very moved.
A large part of his fan base later liked horror movies, but he joined because of "Ghost Shadow". These people can watch this film or not, and they are also caught up in Liu Anran's die-hard fans.
East wrap point, west wrap point, well, the box office of this film is just the beginning. Because everyone knows that when Liu Anran will shoot the next film himself, he may not know when it will be.
"You give me a critique, you say that these reporters don't report on our movies, why do you analyze my relationship with these fans?" Liu Anran was slightly depressed after reading the latest comment news.
"Andy, what's the solution? Who made you so appealing to fans this time? I've seen a lot of fans cheering up in the forums. said that when the box office of this film exceeded 100 million US dollars, you had to give you a half-length photo. If it breaks $200 million, you're going to have to take a full-body photo, which will allow you to keep your panties. Edward said with a smile.
"You honestly confess to me, who instigated it?" Liu Anran asked even more depressedly.
He also saw this voting post, so he didn't believe that fans would come up with such a torturous trick. There must be an inner ghost, and the inner ghost may be sitting in this office.
"Andy, I can assure you, it's definitely not just a few of us. We've been busy with propaganda all this time, where do we have time to care about things on the forum. Edward shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Seriously, how much do you expect this film to reach at the box office? Now I don't even dare to predict it. Because no one can estimate how much power your fan base can explode. ”
Liu Anran smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You can't predict it, can I predict it?" Originally, I thought that this film would be a box office of over 100 million US dollars. After all, there are not too many special effects, even if everyone likes gangster-themed films, they have certain limitations. ”
"But now everyone's enthusiasm is so high, I really can't predict it. Actually, I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried that there will be some fans at the box office this time who will watch it repeatedly in order to hit 200 million US dollars. ”
"Although this will allow me to achieve a good box office result, I will not feel very comfortable in my heart. They see it once to support me, and to see it twice is a burden for me. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, it was indeed the case. Now the main goal of this film is not the box office, even if the box office rushes high, about 200 million will reach the sky. And this year, he has taken the first place at the box office with "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and the current box office results are green leaves for "The Departed".
"I've already posted on the forums to call on everyone to watch the movie sensibly. But in the hearts of some people, they feel that I am earning the sympathy of fans in disguise, but in fact, I am calling on everyone to continue watching and hitting the box office. Liu Anran said with a wry smile.
"In fact, you don't have to worry about how the media speculates, no matter what time it is, there will be some people who maintain various opinions." Edward said with a smile.
"I think the most important thing you should think about now is how to thank your fans in the future. Anyway, this time they played a leading role. ”
He knows Liu Anran very well, and it is impossible for Liu Anran to watch the fans work so hard without saying anything. In fact, when I talk about this now, I also want Liu Anran to be more cautious and not too willful. Although it is said that it costs Liu Anran's own money, when doing this thing, he will ask people from the company to help.
"I haven't thought about this, but I'll have to think about it next year. And my second child is also due in January, and I will return to China in a few days, and I really don't know how many days will be different from the baby's birthday. Liu Anran pursed his lips and said.
This year, he didn't have such a good time. I still have to worry about the Olympics of "Departed", and I have to worry about Fang Yufu giving birth to a baby, which is a big deal.
And Fang Yufu has a baby, you have to take into account Old Man Liu's side. This little guy is the fourth generation of the old Liu family, can the old man not see it?
So everything on this side has to be handled by Edward, and he can only go home and wait for the birth. To put it bluntly, even if this little golden man flies, he won't care too much, where is the baby in Fang Yufu's belly important.
"Andy, you can leave this to us. But I also have a request that depending on the nominations, you have to record some short films to show respect to the Oscar organizing committee. Edward said earnestly.
Liu Anran nodded, he can not participate, but if he is too lazy to deal with it, you don't expect anyone to vote for the films under Dream Media next time.
