According to market statistics in 1998, excluding enterprises, units and schools, there were only more than one million Internet broadband users in China.

The vast majority of these early Internet users are concentrated in the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

And the users who began to surf the Internet at the end of the 9o years are at least on the high side in China, and the income level determines that the consumption of going to the theater to watch a movie accounts for a small proportion of their income. If you don't usually go to the cinema, you either don't have that habit or you don't have the time - but they are definitely potential consumers of movies!

Therefore, transferring offline entertainment news to online is tantamount to attracting the attention of a large number of potential consumers!

Before, Wang Qinian and others also opened a lot of vest accounts and transferred a lot of news to the Internet.

However, the response is very average, because most of those articles are advertorials that are touted and praised, and they do not have much topicality and lack of penetration.

But now the media article of "The Light of Rice Grains" is topical enough!

Tianya, Shuimu Tsinghua and other mainstream forums frequented by netizens now, all of them are about to explode, and the screen is full of posts and replies from netizens!

"MD, I didn't know that "The Gate of Destiny" was just because it was a domestic sci-fi film. Lao Tzu wants to support the light of domestic rice grains and compete with the so-called comet! Although netizens usually don't go into the cinema in their spare time, they rent pirated disks to watch film and television dramas at home, but this time, they can't help but be decided to support them.

""Fate's Gate is also black? The cost of 5o yuan is because the script, director, and starring are all o salaries. The soundtrack in the movie is also free. If calculated according to the normal cost, the cost of script, music, director, actors, etc., will be saved by at least two million. Other directors need at least two or three million yuan to make this film, and even if there is a cost of three or five million to make it, it may not be as good as this movie! This is the remark of the netizen Lao Crab, who is very active on the West 6 forum.

"Lao Tzu is rich, he is so capricious, he is ready to give 1oo movie tickets to "The Gate of Destiny", netizens in SH City who are interested, I will report the address of the cinema, and those present say that it is Shuimu Tsinghua netizens, I will give you free tickets!" -- A certain thought through the void seems very magnificent.

"I am also willful and support the box office counterattack of "Gate of Destiny"! BJ's netizens, who want movie tickets, to the designated cinema, I sent the tickets, and the tickets were sent to the cinema until they were sold out! Another tyrant named Yun Spare Tire was not to be outdone.

It can be said that the article "The Light of Rice Grains" is almost like a faint flame, pouring gasoline on it. All of a sudden, let this topic explode on the Internet.

Regarding the box office number of "Gate of Destiny", it was immediately noticed by the entire Internet. Such an effect is almost no less than the exposure rate brought by a provincial TV station doing programs every day.

……

"Even if it's the light of a grain of rice, it has to grab part of the box office of "Comet Hitting the Earth"!"

"Yes, the total box office is jù, if you can't catch up with "Comet", you have to narrow the gap!"

"Gentlemen, I have decided to invite some colleagues to watch "Gate of Destiny" every day after work, what about you?"

"Your sister, "The Gate of Destiny" is so emotional, I only realized after watching it, this movie is the skateboard shoes I was looking for. It's not a dream, it's real......"

On September 1o, 1998, the box office of "Gate of Destiny" began to rise slowly from the previous to a surge like pulling onions on dry land!

Under the pressure of blockbusters like "Comet Hitting the Earth", the box office of "Gate of Destiny" actually exploded with a huge impact, and the daily box office exceeded 5o yuan!

And "Comet Hit the Earth" on September 1o, the box office actually fell, from 3oo to 2.98 million per day. The decline is not much, but it makes many fans in China who support "Destiny's Gate" very excited, and it feels like a small victory.

On September 11th, "The Gate of Destiny" continued against the sky! Because, on this day, there have been 3o cities that have joined the ranks of broadcasting "Destiny's Gate", so the movie box office has once again rushed to a new high of 650,000!

A few days later, the more exciting weekly box office number jù was released, and "Comet Hit the Earth" achieved a box office of 11.25 million yuan in the first week of its release, winning the box office championship with an absolute advantage, which is not unexpected.

And the box office performance of "Gate of Destiny" actually reached 23o yuan, but it was already the runner-up at the box office this week. In terms of domestic movies alone, "The Gate of Destiny" is already the best!

Other movies released at the same time are basically soy sauce, and the combined box office results are less than 2oo yuan. With the release of this week's box office results, the trend of public opinion in the domestic film and television industry has changed.

Many domestic filmmakers have begun to polish their eyes and re-understand "The Gate of Destiny"! A small-budget sci-fi film with a cost of 500,000 yuan is actually under the pressure of a blockbuster with a cost of 750,000 US dollars. The box office has grown repeatedly.

What is the secret of its success?

"Watching Movies" magazine published a summary article, which attracted a lot of attention from netizens. This article is not to have seen other articles, but there is a sentence in it, "Whether the movie is good or not, it's about money!" "Praised by fans!

"In September, the domestic film industry experienced a science fiction month - yes, science fiction month! More than ninety percent of the domestic film box office market this month is generated by two science fiction movies. One is the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Comet Hits the Earth", and the other is the domestic sci-fi film "The Gate of Destiny".

The Hollywood blockbuster "Comet Hit the Earth" was released for a week, and the box office performance has reached 11.25 million yuan, which is reasonable compared to the cost and technical level of the film.

The budget of "Gate of Destiny", which was released at the same time, was only 5o yuan, but it achieved a box office income of 23o yuan this week, second only to "Comet Hitting the Earth", ranking second on the box office list last week, which really made the film critics lose their glasses.

Although "Gate of Destiny" is a small-budget film, what is rare and valuable is the sincerity of the film's producers. In every shot, you can see their intentions. Every plot is surprising, a small-budget film can be so atmospheric and confident.

In terms of subject matter, "The Gate of Destiny" tells the story of an ordinary young man, Wang Da Hammer, who, after experiencing some setbacks, meets a mysterious man who gives him a gift that can travel through time and space.

Wang Da Hammer used the time machine to travel back to the past and change his unfortunate fate. But it affected the fate of the heroine Yunxia, and the heroine committed suicide in despair because the male protagonist was admitted to Beiying and squeezed out the quota that should have belonged to her.

Because of guilt, the male protagonist Wang Da Hammer used the time machine again to go back and save the heroine...... The male protagonist repeatedly uses the time machine qì to travel back in time and change the fate of himself and others. However, almost every time, the heroine dies due to an accident.

He can change his destiny lightly, for example, he can rely on foreseeing the future, achieving success and even becoming a multimillionaire. But it was always difficult to get the perfect ending he wanted.

Therefore, in the time and space travel again and again, Wang Dazhui became a lonely traveler lost in infinite time and space......

For the author, this is a pleasant surprise!

A small-budget movie is so good-looking, which definitely subverts the author's understanding of small-budget movies.

Many domestic directors attribute their failures to the lack of money. Because there is no money, you can't make a blockbuster like Hollywood, so it's not popular with the audience.

However, not all good-looking movies are blockbusters!

It's not like if you pile up your money and you're sure to make a surprising movie!

After watching "The Gate of Destiny", the author can't help but sigh - whether the movie is good or not, it's a matter of money and......"
