This night is destined to be a sleepless night for some people.

According to the statistics of the relevant figures, on the first day of the release of "Old Boy", a total of 500 movie theaters were screened across the country, and nearly 1,000 screening halls were screened at the same time, with an attendance rate of 95 percent!!

Countless people were shocked!!

The price of a single ticket is 40, and only 500 movie theaters are released at the same time, with two screenings a day, and the box office in a single day has exceeded 30 million!!

If "Old Boy" is screened in more than 2,000 movie theaters, even if the attendance rate drops, there is no doubt that the box office figure of breaking 100 million in one day is almost within reach!!

Countless filmmakers who were still sarcastic and ridiculed "Old Boy" suddenly opened their eyes wide, pulled their hair, and ran wildly with incredible tears on their faces: "Absorbing gold Zhang is coming to suck money again!" ”

The next morning, the office workers in the city start their day, greeting each other and talking about the same movie.

"Have you watched 'Old Boy'?"

A person patted his colleague's shoulder triumphantly: "Remember, I highly recommend, yesterday I spent more than 100 yuan to buy a corner ticket from a scalper, and after reading it, the town made my big man cry!" ”

His colleague looked at him with disdain.

"Don't look at me with such eyes, you haven't watched it, of course you don't know how exciting the movie is! At that time, most of the people who watched "Old Boy" in the movie theater went in happily, and then came out crying, suing you, the toilet paper in the movie theater was sold out! All fucking wipe your face and don't wipe your ass!! ”

When my colleague heard this, he was dumbfounded and said, "Really? I went to see the midnight show of "Journey to the Empire" yesterday, and I didn't think anyone bought a ticket for "Oldboy"? ”

The man glared, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" "Old Boy" was sold out in less than two hours at the beginning, and the movie tickets for the entire Yanhai within three days were sold out. Who is funny with a head show, looking for scalpers to buy "Old Boy" in the middle of the night? And "Old Boy" only has tickets for 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. every day! ”

The colleague was brainwashed and amazed: "It's really that good-looking?" So why are there only two screenings in the cinema? Why not add a screening room? ”

"This question, I'm also very strange, otherwise how would I spend twice the price to buy a movie ticket for forty yuan, damn! The leaders of these theaters are all pig-headed and fat-brained, and they can't tell which donkey they have been kicked by! ”

"Hey, Xiao Liu, don't hurry up yet, have you watched "Old Boy"?"

"What's Old Boy?"

"**** get out! No common language! ”

"Damn, is 'Oldboy' amazing? I'll see it when I get off work! ”

"Off work? Just go and see it? Ignorant child, I can only hehe for you......"

A similar scene happened all over the country, and for a while, without any media coverage, "Old Boy" became famous after the first day of public screening!

Countless people skip classes or skip classes, secretly go to the cinema to wait without the leaders or teachers, and buy scalper tickets at a high price, just to be able to have a trace of proud conversation in the circle of friends, boasting about the campus memories of the year, that year was either a sister or a girl was a terrible time!

Of course, occasionally a few people will be caught by the leader or teacher, and after learning about the situation, they will be punished, "You will also help me buy one!" ”

On the time network, the score of "Old Boy" has also soared all the way after its official release, and it is unstoppable!

In the end, Chinese fans successfully killed all kinds of water armies, and the score was fixed at 5 from less than four points. 3！！

More than 100,000 ratings in total!!

Subsequently, after day after day of broadcasting, "Old Boy" was like a tiger out of the mountains, raging all over the country.

In addition to the investment of 500 million yuan in "Journey to the Empire", the box office of "Old Boy" has always been on the top of the head, the box office of "Old Boy" is an average of 500 theaters per day, and the number of 30 million box office is rapidly increasing.

A week has passed, and the box office of "Old Boy" has been announced on the Internet, which has surprised countless heroes from all walks of life who were still calling "Old Boy" down.

“2。 0.8 billion ......" Some directors who have invested hundreds of millions of yuan to shoot movies are bitter in their hearts.

People are more angry than people!

For a while, various user groups on social networks such as kk group, Xinhai blog, and post bar also expressed their amazement at this sky-defying box office.

If the investment in "Oldboy" is like "Journey to the Empire", then that's it.

But when the investment amount of "Old Boy" was exposed, and saw that it was only less than 10 million production costs, countless people were red-eyed!

I'm rubbing!

This Zhang Heng is actually shooting what kind of fire!

At this moment, countless investors salivated for 3,000 feet, and once again had the idea of following the trend!!

Time is ticking by.

When more people queued up in the cinema for most of the day, and finally told that all the tickets were sold out today and tomorrow, all the audiences who were eager for "Old Boy" finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to explode violently!!

"How? Will the theater side schedule the film, the box office of "Old Boy" is so hot, why not increase the screening!! ”

"That's it, the owner of the theater really doesn't know how to do business!"

"We're going to see 'Old Boy'!"

Most people didn't buy tickets, and they either went to see "Journey to the Empire", which has a super high screening rate, or went to see some other movies that are currently being screened, or just left, waiting for the next ticket sale opportunity for "Old Boy".

But there are still a few people who are Zhang Heng's fans, and they persistently attack the theater line on the Internet and in the cinema, scolding the unreasonable screening of major movies, and complaining that money can't buy tickets!

This scene is probably the most bizarre scene in the film industry, countless theater owners looked up to the sky and howled, crying bitterly.

"We also want to make money, the key is not to let the top row up!"

Just when many people complained about the strange screening of the theater chain, on the other side of the ocean, some countries such as North America gradually began to add a Chinese movie called "Old Boy" to the screening plan, and began a small-scale publicity campaign.

Soon after, "Old Boy" began to be released.

Subsequently, some developed countries such as Europe also carried out small-scale test screenings one after another.

Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Thailand and other Asian regions also started a small-scale propaganda offensive, and then, this small-scale zuò film from the Chinese Empire was silently scheduled to be released in an atmosphere where the reports were deserted and the discussants were generalized.

These are the results of lobbying by the negotiation team led by Wei Lan in major film developed regions around the world.

Most of the signed contract models are also 2:8 and 1:9 box office sharing ratios.

This shows that after the release of Nirvana Film and Television, the interests can only be regarded as a small head, if you count the publicity and other expenses, if the box office is less than one million US dollars, the production company and the distribution company can be said to be both losing money!!

Even if the box office exceeds 100 million, Nirvana Film and Television is just making some small profits.

Zhang Heng knew that this was already the share that Wei Lan's team had tried their best to win.

Otherwise, when the entire Nirvana has no fame and no funds, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to strive for a global release.

More than a dozen countries in North America, Europe, and Asia were also released almost at the same time period.

As a result, Zhang Heng and other high-level Nirvana leaders were uneasy.

They are desperate, and under the pressure of domestic forces, they have already endured a belly of anger, so they rushed to use foreign box office results to raise their eyebrows.

But can the orientalized language and scene attract the attention of these gringos?

After the first day of the release on three continents, Zhang Heng learned on the Internet that the response to "Old Boy" in various countries was mediocre, and there were few discussants.

Only a few people praised it, calling it "a realistic film that hits the heart and tortures the heart".

If it was just like that, it would be too disappointing for Zhang Heng and others.

A week later, reports were faxed in from all over the world.

Zhang Heng sat at his desk, looking at the box office figures displayed on these reports, with a dull expression......

"The North American box office totaled 13 million US dollars, the European box office totaled 9.16 million US dollars, and the Asian box office totaled 790 US dollars, totaling about 30 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 230 million yuan!"

Zhang Heng stopped in a daze, suppressed the excitement in his heart, quickly turned on the computer, and searched for words such as ""Old Boy" overseas box office" on the Venus search engine.

However, he was disappointed to find that most of the search was only old news from a few days ago.

"It shouldn't be! Although the box office is not awesome, it is not bad, and it shouldn't be impossible to search for anything, right? ”

Zhang Heng thought about it, his heart moved, and he quickly changed to the Google search engine, and entered keywords such as "Old Boy" North America, Europe, and Asia again.

Mouse clicks.

When the engine jumped, Zhang Heng looked at the densely displayed search homepage, dumbfounded.

The number of searches for the "Old Boy" movie in front of me has reached more than 110 million times......

How hot does this have to be?

After a while, Zhang Heng came back to his senses: "Successfully tested the waters? ”

Zhang Heng pinched his arm, thinking that it was not a dream, he shook his head fiercely, and the uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth spread.

The weekly box office in North America alone is $13 million, which is definitely crushing most of the movies shown in the United States at the same time!!

I didn't expect this day to come so quickly!!

Entering Hollywood...... Be just round the corner!

Then, Zhang Heng excitedly began to click the mouse, open the web pages one by one, his eyes lit up, and he looked carefully.

"The film is overwhelming, the theme is invincible, the music is invincible, and the director's talent also comes from the grasp of the absurd, the use of elements and the control of rhythm. If the guys who come out of Huaxia all have this benchmark level, why did Huaxia movies fall into the situation of bad movies all over the place? - Japanese netizens.

"It's been a long time since anything in my mechanical, busy life has touched the soft heart beneath my hard shell. The elements of life are monotonous and boring. Leaving early, returning late, working meals, traffic jams, talking about the rise in gasoline prices, and the rise in house prices are like chewing gum that was chewed yesterday. But when I heard this, saw this movie, and heard that song, I suddenly realized that I was already in a hurry, old. - Thai netizen.

"Recently, I heard my classmates talk about this movie, and after watching it, I found that it was not as good as I imagined, probably because my expectations were too high, or that I couldn't feel the substitution of Chinese people, I felt that the last song was a little touched by those people!" ——Malaysian netizen.

"The last song is the highlight, the previous performance is a bit too forceful, is it that the director wants to use exaggerated techniques to show the unscrupulous and flamboyant youth? Hey, the last paragraph was full of tears, youth, what a sweet and cruel word, godknows! Suddenly, I felt that I also wanted to make a film about the post-80s. I remember when I was in college, an alumni association, from the marbles I played when I was a child to the later game console, and then to the computer, everyone seems to have too many of the same resonance, the post-70s mentioned in the film is estimated to be a generation that can leave a strong mark in Chinese history, paying tribute to all the post-70s! - American netizen.
