Chapter 69: The box office exploded again on the weekend

On Saturday, Zhou Yi still accompanied his sister to study at school and study the script. If there is a meeting at the company's headquarters, Zhuo Qinglian will notify him in time. After all, it also takes time for the director and screenwriter to study the script, so they can't be in a hurry.

At present, the college entrance examination is approaching, and there are still two weeks to go, but everyone is reviewing well, there is nothing nervous, and I am even looking forward to it! Zhou Yi felt that his sister and her roommates were usually very relaxed, and they seemed to be at ease.

It seems that everyone has a lot of confidence in the title of the gold list.

This is everything in place, only the east wind is owed!

When reviewing in the library in the morning, Tang Yan also took the time to ask Zhou Yi: "Brother, there were new films released yesterday and Friday, all of which are key films that want to compete for the weekend box office rankings." Did you go to the scene to see the situation? Everyone is your competitor! ”

"I didn't go to see it!" Zhou Yi smiled, "I can't be recognized by fans when I go to the scene?" You can't always sneak in makeup to see the situation! ”

"Hee-hee! Brother, you are so narcissistic! I really think I'm a big star! ”

Tang Yan laughed and laughed at her brother.

Zhou Yizhen was speechless: Is it true that with my appearance, I will not be recognized?

This kind of thinking is indeed too narcissistic.

"Hey! Sister, don't laugh! Actually, I wanted to go and see the early screening of the new film yesterday, but when the morning screening was over, it was noon. It just so happens that our new script is out over there, aren't I busy with those things? I don't care about watching new movies, and I have long forgotten about it. By the way, how's that going? Is there any news online? Sister, have you seen it? Zhou Yi asked curiously.

"Of course I watched, can you not help my brother pay attention?" Tang Yan was very proud.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Yi asked.

"I'm really going to congratulate my brother this time. The reputation of several new films released yesterday is not very good, and the scores on the Fengshen List are generally not high. The two most important new films, "Escape from the Lost Island" and "The Phantom of the Labyrinth", are not in good shape. Tang Yan smiled and introduced.

"Haha! Then we're going to gloat! ”

Zhou Yi was very happy, this was definitely schadenfreude.

That's the way it is in the industry, you don't expect others to mess up, how can you get ahead? It's best to smash other people's films.

The film and television industry is looking forward to dying peers, which is a common phenomenon, no different from other industries, and even stricter. After all, the competition reflected in the box office is more direct, and even short-handed, you live and die, naturally you can't tolerate the slightest bit of warmth, and tragic situations are sometimes alive.

"Let's take a look at their reviews and ratings." Tang Yan was a little excited.

"Good! Find out! Zhou Yi also wanted to see it.

Tang Yan used her laptop to surf the Internet and help Zhou Yi find relevant information.

She is very familiar with these professional websites, after all, when she enters this industry, she will have to read them often in the future.

"Look, the score of "Escape from the Lost Island" is only 6.8 points, which is definitely not high on the weekend!"

"Are there any representative highlights of the film review?" Zhou Yi asked.

"Look at this long review." Tang Yan opened the relevant page and pointed.

Zhou Yi immediately read this movie review, and it was indeed written for a long time!

"In fact, the plot of this film can be summed up in one sentence, which tells the absurd story of a special operations squad of our army during World War II, which got lost at sea and strayed into the lost island, and then was chased and brutalized by all kinds of strange-looking monsters and monsters on the island."

"Everyone understands this kind of plot, under the fierce pursuit of weirdos and monsters, the supporting characters died tragically one after another!"

"The director of this film is very ambitious, but unfortunately his storytelling ability is too poor."

"This is the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper!"

"In particular, he added a lot of Western elements, which made it nondescript. For example, in this film, he tells that before God created man, he actually did a lot of real things, and made a lot of strange bloody and brutal things, and then He couldn't bear to destroy them, so he placed them all on the Lost Island, and isolated the Lost Island from the whole world, so it was named the Lost Island. ”

"I really want to laugh when I see this kind of plot! Could it be that God is Frankenstein? Do you do these things before you create a man? ”

"Didn't the creation of man succeed in the first attempt? How many more times to make? Wow! This god is so stupid! ”

"And since the Lost Island is isolated from the world, it is definitely not a place like the Peach Blossom Spring. With God's power, at least a small parallel world, or a small thousand worlds! I was able to be mistakenly broken into by our soldiers, I really convinced you! Could it be that God built the Lost Island and left a back door for himself in advance? Do you want Adam and Eve to go in and have fun? Is that really necessary? ”

"I really want to laugh! Is this a comedy? ”

"Isn't this supposed to be an adventure horror movie?"

"But it's so scary that it makes people laugh."

"If you only look at the synopsis, you must think that the scene of the film should be very large, during the war, it is the sea, the lost island, and all kinds of hunting and killing in the jungle on the island, at least there should be magnificent war pictures and sea scenes, or dangerous wild jungles!"

"Please pay special attention to fans and friends, none of the above scenes are there! It's really not a joke! ”

"This film, you are guaranteed to be disappointed after watching it."

"The various scenes in the film are not big, but we must not say that it is shoddy, after all, the company has spent a lot of money, and it must have been made seriously, but where is all that money used? It is estimated that it is used in the image design of various weirdos and monsters, and the artistic effect is very expensive, and other scenes will naturally be weakened. After all, this is not a blockbuster with an unlimited budget. ”

"This is really disappointing, there are no big scenes, and all kinds of chase scenes are not big."

"And those weird monsters are not well designed, they are all old-fashioned and have no new ideas."

"Is it new that you put that on your chin? So what is the use of it other than to facilitate oneself (mouth) work? Could it be that God created man? Or did God later find it too unsightly, and simply change it for everyone, and put it below where your own mouth can't reach? Anyway, I don't know what the director thinks. ”

"Maybe he just wants to expose the monster's weaknesses to the heroes and heroines, reduce the difficulty of their slashing, and give them a chance to fight back? Anyway, the whole film is flying around. When I saw the heroine suddenly hold that thing, pull wildly, and fight back, I only felt cold sweat all over my body. This is a bad lesson for a bad child! Don't imitate in a fight! ”

"This kind of play is an absolute failure!"

"Did the hero and heroine escape in the end? I don't know, anyway, they seem to have entered a much larger Lost Island. Could it be that God usually has nothing to do, so he builds the Lost Island to play? Or is there a lot of gods in this universe and a lot of lost islands? I don't understand it at all. ”

"Bad reviews don't explain! Oh...... I think a lot has already been explained! ”

"Anyway, at most six points, you will regret it until you break your gut."

In fact, Zhou Yi wanted to laugh when he read this kind of movie review.

Tang Yan blushed with shame, probably thinking that some places in the film review were really indecent, and it is estimated that the film itself is very dirty!

How many female movie fans will take their children to watch movies where that thing grows on the chin? Did the director get kicked in the head by a donkey? Or does he think that God is this level of human creation, this kind of artistic cultivation? Or is he satirizing Western culture? Don't be funny! If his company had this kind of director and dared to make such a wonderful film, Zhou Yi would probably slap him to death. This kind of persona must not even pass the company's internal audit.

Which director made this? It's filthy.

This is even more eye-damaging than Tony Leung's direct exposure of two long-haired balls in "Lust and Caution" in his previous life. Isn't it okay to show your gun?

Tang Wei filmed (naked) scenes, he was on camera without shaving his armpit hair, and the two red apricots on his chest were delicate, it was better to hide it with a pinch of black hair, and it was not so dirty!

I can't bear to look at it!

This director, you have a talent for making restricted films! This kind of film needs to be tutored at least 15 levels! What if you mislead the child? What if a child sees it and goes home and asks his mom and dad why his thing grows on his chin and my thing grows underneath? How do you ask your parents to answer? It's really a misguided child, and it hurts a lot!

Look at the director's name, I don't know it at all, Zhou Yi doesn't care so much.

This kind of director, Zhou Yi has no interest in remembering the name, and he has no plans to cooperate in the future.

As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds!

Now that the Huaxia film market is big, there is still mud and sand, and there are all kinds of birdmen. In the previous life, some absurd and bizarre things in the United States that were "good to be dirty" are still emerging in the Chinese film market in this life.

Maybe that's the price of the market!

"It seems that this film really doesn't work! It's hard to hit the box office with this kind of rating. Let's take a look at the next film. Zhou Yi said.

"The next film is 'The Phantom of the Labyrinth.'"

Tang Yan quickly found the relevant page of Tomato.com.

"The score of this film is only 5.2 points, which can definitely be classified as a bad movie, and it is not as good as "Escape from the Lost Island"!"

This kind of low-scoring film will always appear, and there are many in every issue of American Hollywood in the previous life, which is a normal phenomenon.

A film can be released in theaters, but it doesn't mean that the score on the Fengshen List will pass, and there are lower scores.

There is a cap on high scores, and there is no lower limit on low scores!

Seeing this kind of rating, Zhou Yi didn't even have the interest in reading movie reviews. "Escape from the Lost Island" is at least a passing commercial adventure film, and it can attract some fans with some dirty things, but this "Phantom of the Labyrinth" doesn't need to be watched at all to know what the film critics will say.

Tang Yan laughed and read a few articles next to her.

"I can't understand what this film is about, the clues are fragmented, and the director didn't arrange it at all!"

"The film is so boring that I can't understand it at all."

"It's suspenseful but it's not suspenseful, it's thrilling but it's not thrilling, what kind of trouble is it?"

"It's too much!"

"Does this film really have any selling points? Who can sue me? Ask for answers. ”

"No selling point, no explanation."

"Ditto, the selling point is too old!"

"The selling point is too clichΓ© +1."

"The selling point is too set +1oo86."

Zhou Yi smiled, and he really felt a lot more relaxed.

"Brother, how's it going? The weekend is a big good, not a small one! Tang Yan asked with a smile.

"You still can't let your guard down! After all, it is released nationwide, and there are many theaters, no matter how bad it is, at least this week's weekend box office will definitely be much higher than ours, and it will definitely be able to last weekend's box office rankings. "Zhou Yi is very sensible and will not be blindly optimistic.

"Hee-hee! At least they don't put too much pressure on us, and it's hard to snatch our audience. Tang Yan is also very thoughtful.

"That's right! This is indeed good news. Zhou Yi nodded.

"With such a word-of-mouth, how many fans are willing to take the initiative to watch it?"

Tang Yan briefly introduced the situation of several new films, and the word-of-mouth and box office are obviously far inferior to her own "Five Poisons".

Knowing these new films, Zhou Yi was indeed more relaxed.

While chatting, Zhou Yi took the opportunity to tell her sister that she was going to hire a professional choreographer for her recently, and before the TV series started filming, she would help her choreograph, and she would also conduct special training to make her sister mentally prepared. Filming a TV series must be hard. Especially in the play, there are so many dance competitions and practice scenes, which are very cool to watch, but the filming must be very tiring, and you have to repeat the shooting many times to keep improving.

However, Tang Yan didn't feel hard at all, and she was extremely excited.

To have such high-level treatment, she is naturally happy and happy.

If you want the TV series to look good, it is necessary to hire a professional choreographer, she naturally understands this truth, and she can't let her choreograph it herself.

Now she is mentally ready to receive special training.

However, that will not be carried out until after the college entrance examination, and it is still important to prepare for the college entrance examination.

It is estimated that after the college entrance examination, the choreographer will definitely be in place.

Tang Yan is looking forward to it.

The morning went by. When it was almost noon, there was nothing else to do on the company's side except for Zhuo Qinglian who routinely informed Zhou Yi of the box office situation yesterday and Friday. The writers are still working on the script, and there is no news for the time being.

However, Friday's box office situation is indeed gratifying, and Zhuo Qinglian is very happy.

The total box office of the 45 theaters on Friday was as high as 420,000 Chinese yuan, almost double compared to Thursday.

The single-day box office exceeded 4o million Chinese yuan, which was definitely a great news unexpected by the company's senior management.

Zhou Yi was also very happy.

Being able to do this shows that almost all theaters have been screened in the evening, and many theaters have to replace the small hall with a middle hall or hall, at least using two theaters to screen 8-1o shows a day, and some theaters even use three theaters to screen 1o-12 shows.

Only in this way can this kind of Friday high box office be exploded.

If the original number of screenings and the number of screens are used to screen in small halls, even if the venue is full, it is impossible to have such a high box office.

According to the news from the theater line, after the theater was screened on Friday night, the number of attendees in a single theater could almost double that of Thursday, basically 45 theaters are like this, from Vladivostok in the north to Guangdong and Guangzhou in the south.

Although this kind of film is not suitable for families to watch movies with children, there are also many fan groups of action movies, martial arts films, and cult films.

This is not only the credit of advertising, but also the result of the film's explosive word-of-mouth among fans.

In particular, the number of action movie fans is already very large, and it can even be regarded as the largest fan group in China.

(Note: Action movies here refer to action movies in a broad sense, including action, national arts, martial arts, and other genres.) οΌ‰

Once a good reputation is established, it is not easy to fall. Word of mouth will only spread more and more.

It's really amazing that the screening can have such good results.

Of course, Zhou Yi was very happy.

As long as this kind of hot box office is maintained, many fans will be able to watch the movie during the day on Saturday and Sunday, and the box office will inevitably soar again. If the box office on Saturday and Sunday is higher, maybe the box office for three days on the weekend may really be on the weekend box office charts in China, and I will be at the bottom of the list. In that case, the film will definitely become very famous and will inevitably attract more attention from fans.

45 theaters are screened on a small scale, if they can counterattack the weekend box office list, it will be a complete miracle, how can they not be famous?

Even at the current box office level, the total box office of the three days of the weekend will definitely exceed the million yuan mark.

That's victory!

After getting this good news, Tang Yan was also very happy and clapped her hands with her brother to celebrate. Seeing that the time was close to noon, the brother and sister were going to go to the school cafeteria for lunch together, but Zhou Yi received a phone call at this time.

It wasn't a call from the company, but a call from Takamatsu asking if he had time today.

The company's artists don't call often, Zhou Yi was very surprised, and immediately asked Brother Gao Song what was the matter.

It turned out that Gao Song and Zheng Zilong wanted to use Saturday to visit a newly opened cafeteria nearby. This restaurant is a new addition to the Degua fan chain. And the "Degua fan chain" is the industry of the world's actor Lou Degua.

Today, the restaurant will host a fan salon throughout the day for fans to enjoy and eat.

There are a lot of fan gatherings there, so of course you can check them out.

In fact, Gao Song and Zheng Zilong received a notice from the company and were invited to the restaurant before going. As second-tier stars, it is impossible for them to take the initiative to run to give people free cheers. Zhou Yi did not receive a notice from the company, probably because Zhuo Qinglian didn't want to delay his precious time. In fact, there is no delay at all. According to Gao Song, it may be because the film "Five Poisons" has been very popular recently, and the audience has a good reputation, so they got an invitation to the restaurant. The appearance fee is nothing at all, at most it is to eat and drink for nothing and get a membership card that can be discounted. How much can a restaurant pay for appearance? And they don't have to put on a show. Besides, they also went to promote their own movies.

Cheng Dakui will also follow them.

They also planned to ask Zhou Yi to go with them.

Zhou Yi is the boss, but he is also an actor, so of course they can hang out together.

As for Wu Yuanshen, he had to do a few interviews on the weekend for the TV series he filmed earlier, and now that it is about to be broadcast, he naturally can't go. An Dehai definitely can't go, Lang Jun won't let him go! What are you involved in this kind of thing?

Now it depends on whether Zhou Yi can go.
