Chapter 88: Shuangqiang Town God Head
On Friday, Zhou Yi and Tang Yan naturally paid great attention to the situation of their own films.
The three-day fierce box office battle over the weekend officially kicked off with a bloody curtain!
Today, it's time to compete and distinguish the best!
For some new films, the results of the first day of premiere can almost determine the overall trend going forward.
Although Zhou Yi was very confident in advance, it was inevitable that he would be nervous when it came to the end, after all, this time he was no longer facing a weak film. But thinking about the competitors this time, Zhou Yizhen has a sense of pride, blood boiling, and even adrenaline is being secreted sharply.
Impulsiveness is bad, but there can be a few beats in life!
If it's not a real fight, who knows the result?
Fighting with the sky, the fun is endless; Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless; Fighting with the giant director is even more fun!
Only by competing with the industry's strong films can it be considered enjoyable! Otherwise, what's the point of bullying those new films, or absurd and weird films like "Lost Island", or even literary films like "Nie Yinniang"? And what kind of fulfillment can it have?
Could it be that he awakened the memories of his previous life just to torture the weak chickens in this life?
Not afraid of being crushed by strong films, fighting all the way to the end is the demeanor of a strong man!
Let's see who belongs to the wind and clouds, and who else is me!
Zhou Yi suddenly had a feeling of ambition.
Of course, the top priority at the moment is to survive the crushing of the weekend super blockbuster.
On Friday, Zhongyi's "Eight Hundred Scholars" and Hanhai's "Havoc in Heaven" two super blockbusters finally officially premiered!
Huanyu "Disciple of the Evil God" appeared at the same time, obviously unwilling to wait for her!
On the day of the large-scale release of Zhengdong's "Five Poison Gate" on Friday, it will be hit by the two super blockbusters of the six major Chinese people, and the "Disciple of the Evil God" will be frantically attacked!
This is obviously the pattern of the industry's most sinister double-strong film "Zhenshentou".
Even if you carry one, you may not be able to carry the other.
This kind of situation is rare even in Hollywood in the previous life.
But the Chinese film market is too prosperous in this world, and this situation is not uncommon, but it always happens, and I don't know when it will happen. It's bad luck if you do. Of course, there are always strong films that are not afraid of collisions, and can suddenly rise and counterattack all the way, so that's another matter.
Now "Five Poison Gate" has just hit this situation.
No matter how these super strong films make their own trouble, whether they attack each other to the death, whether there are real contradictions, and they want to shake each other, but for the small-budget film "Five Poisons", this is the most critical juncture and the most dangerous day at the box office.
Under the nest, there are no eggs!
The aftermath is shocking and earth-shaking!
It's not that you can hide if you want to, you can't avoid this kind of head-on competition at all, you can only resist hard.
Maybe the aftermath of the competition between other people's super strong movies can leave you with no body and no body.
The industry has long expected that this week will definitely be the rhythm of the bloodbath box office list, and I don't know who will be splashed on the spot.
Even if it is two super blockbusters, in this fierce competition, it is not absolutely safe, and it is really difficult to predict the outcome. Many professionals in the industry are speculating about the box office results this week, and basically everyone is optimistic about "800 Scholars", but the guess is not accurate.
But for "Five Poisons", if you carry it, you will live, and if you can't carry it, you will die! Too easy. Whether it can survive this hurdle, or even turn the tide, determines the future of this film.
There is no hope at all if you want to win, there is no hope at all, and if you can hold on, you are a good guy!
After all, Zhou Yi is not a superstar, and "Five Poisons" is not a super blockbuster, but this time Zhou Yi is going to fight against a super blockbuster produced by two of the industry's top directors. The director of Zhongyi's "Eight Hundred Scholars" is as famous as director Zhang Yimu, and is known as "Zhongyi Double Car, Left and Right Shenfeng", and Bo Yichuan, a young and famous director known as "Young Wan Dou Gong". The director of Hanhai's "Havoc in Heaven" is also a top director in the industry, and Shi Bibao, a great director who has always been known as "Little Tearing Treasure".
Don't care if Shi Bibao is the best person in the world, but he is indeed a real director.
You can't underestimate the director's strength just because they are funny and sometimes act absurdly and improperly.
These days, Zhou Yi has naturally understood these situations in the industry and knows how dangerous the situation is.
No matter how confident Zhou Yi is, no matter how optimistic he is about his own films, he believes that "Five Poisons" can withstand this wave of suppression, but he really doesn't dare to guarantee that he can get out this time, so he can only do his best. In the first two weeks, under the same "town god head" pattern, the tragic situation of those bloody massacres of new films is vividly visible. Who can guarantee that? As for other methods, there is nothing to think of, and you can only rely on the quality of the film. It is undeniable that this week's weekend competition situation is indeed very dangerous, and Zhou Yi's heart is hanging.
In fact, the company's senior management is also very worried, and even Zhuo Qinglian is a little nervous.
Can she not be nervous? There's a lot of money involved!
But now everyone can't do anything, everything that needs to be done has been done, and they can only keep an eye on it.
But while everyone was nervous, there was also good news.
Zhou Yi also got Thursday's box office on Friday morning.
On Thursday, the film grossed 5.2 million yuan in a single day and 5,120 yuan in a single museum. On weekdays, the box office of a single museum can exceed 5,000 Chinese yuan, which is a miracle, and the film's reputation is definitely in full swing. This has increased the confidence of the people in Zhengdong, and maybe it will not be a problem to carry this wave.
Now the film's reputation among action movie fans is indeed so good.
In comparison, even if the score of the god list has dropped to 9.0 points, it doesn't matter, it's nothing.
With more and more moviegoers, it is an inevitable trend for the score of the Fengshen List to continue to decline, and no one can change it. No one believes that the rating of this small-budget cult film can always be maintained above 9 points. Sooner or later, it will slip below 9 points. This is not only the consensus of the top management of Zhengdong Company, but also the general consensus of the majority of fans. It was expected and not surprising.
Although the fighting scenes of this film are very good-looking, even extremely classic, and it is no problem to be written into action movie textbooks, these advantages are not enough to keep its score above 9 points on the god list.
"Five Poison Gate" is a genre powerhouse, a cult (fierce) film, and an action blockbuster, but it is definitely not a super god movie!
In the final analysis, cult films are niche films after all, and this time it is indeed a surprise victory, but the score cannot be strong all the time. To be honest, until now, the score of the Fengshen List can still have 9 points, and it has not slipped below 9 points, and many fans think this is a miracle.
This is the result of how many action movie fans are fanatical!
Everyone has long been tired of watching those fancy special effects action movies, and all kinds of passions have exploded in this cult action movie with a bloody actual combat macho style.
That's what we have today!
There is no fluke in the success of the film!
Zhou Yi was indeed quite relieved and proud.
What is even more gratifying to the people of Zhengdong is that although the score of his film has been reduced, the score of 9.0 still surpasses the 8.8 points scored by the new film "Disciple of the Evil God". No matter what the box office is, at least step on you in the score first, are you happy?
It seems that the preemptive score of "Disciple of the Evil God" is indeed not ideal, and under the support of a large number of fans, the word-of-mouth still has not achieved the best effect.
With this kind of results as a foundation, even if the score of "Five Poison Gate" is surpassed by "Eight Hundred Scholars" and "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace".
Originally, everyone never thought that they could win those two super strong movies.
Just trample your competitors under your feet.
This is indeed very gratifying.
Zhengdong Pictures also counted the total box office of the first four working days of the week, and the number did surprise Zhou Yi. On the occasion of the weekend box office war, the cumulative box office in the first four working days of this week has reached 16.9 million Chinese yuan.
This is definitely an out-and-out strong number of films!
Counting the total box office of 2.2 million Chinese dollars accumulated last week, the total box office of the film has now reached 19.1 million Chinese yuan, and it is about to break through the 20 million Chinese yuan mark. Unconsciously, the box office of the film has accumulated to such a point.
Don't feel like the box office is low!
Counting these box offices alone, the company's account can be divided into about 7.6 million Chinese yuan.
At least the production cost is back, and the publicity and distribution cost can also be back half.
And this good result will certainly give theaters the confidence to increase the number of screens and screenings of the film over the weekend. This can increase the film's ability to resist the suppression of the two strong films, and it can also increase the competitiveness of "Five Poisons" against "Disciple of the Evil God".
As for the number of digital copies, it is absolutely sufficient at the moment.
The number of copies entrusted by Zhengdong Pictures to Liansheng was as high as 3,000 at the beginning of this week, not counting the increase in the number of copies over the weekend. The cost of this alone is as high as more than 300,000 Chinese dollars. If you add in the cost of copying on weekends, it costs close to one million dollars. Such costs are indeed high, but these money must be spent, and they cannot be saved. In order to expand the number of screens, Jeongdong must pay this price.
Moreover, Liansheng has included all the copy delivery costs, which has been quite saving.
The results in this regard are indeed very good, thanks to the fact that Manager Zheng was able to contact Liansheng in time. Otherwise, relying on the numbers of the Great Wall, Zhengdong doesn't know how miserable it will be. Then it's not a million Chinese dollars, you have to vomit blood.
No matter how much he gritted his teeth, Zhou Yi would not accept that kind of plunder.
Now this situation, I don't know how much better it is in comparison.
And with the current more than 7 million Chinese yuan account, although it can't be reached quickly, and now it's only a paper number, but at least the executives in Zhengdong have a bottom in their hearts and won't worry too much. Even Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief and became more confident.
At present, it seems that this film will definitely not lose money, and even make a lot more, but how much more money can be made depends on the film's ability to resist pressure in the future. Making an extra 10 million Chinese dollars is an extra earning, and earning an extra 100 million Chinese dollars is also an extra earning, but can the two be the same?
Anyway, the more the merrier, the more the merrier!
In addition to Thursday's box office success, the company has other good news.
Good news came from Manager Zheng in the morning.
The Five Poisons Peking Opera Face Toy Toys authorized by Zhengdong Pictures to be produced and distributed by Fun Fox Toys were finally officially launched today. It is sold in major peripheral specialty stores, online stores and major cinema counters, and the distribution is successful. The distribution channel of Fun Fox Toys is really doing a good job, which is surprising.
If you rely on Zhengdong Pictures alone, you can't do these things at all.
Now Zhengdong Pictures, a second-tier company, relies on the movie "Five Poisons", and it can actually have some peripheral income.
These are profits! It is estimated that a lot of costs can be recovered.
And it happened to be on the weekend when there were many fans, and the toy store was successful, which was just timely rain, which was so comfortable!
Fun fox toys are really powerful!
There was no mistake in choosing this partner.
Even if the film is a tutorial for the twelfth grade, there will still be children who are attracted to the movies and buy toys.
Some parents will also buy it for their children to play, which is not expensive anyway.
Hey! It's really a happy event! What luck!
Receiving these unexpected good news, Zhou Yi was of course extremely happy.
