Chapter 455: Box Office
"Hey, you don't have to, do you?"
Gently pinching her boyfriend, Zheng Jia said with some amusement: "Even if this movie doesn't look so good...... It's a little worse than your hurricane rescue, so you don't have to laugh all the time, right? ”
After coming out of the movie theater, the smile on Sun Peng's face has never disappeared, and it is still the kind of smile that is annoying at first sight, even Zheng Jia can't stand it anymore......
This little energy, I get angry when I look at it.
"Hey, are you hungry?"
Sun Peng also knew that his performance was a little too much, so he asked with a smile.
"It's so late, let's bear it when you're hungry."
Glancing at Sun Peng, Zheng Jia said angrily.
Returning home after a long walk, Zheng Jia quickly washed and fell asleep. Unlike Sun Peng, he has to get up early tomorrow morning to go to work, and he definitely won't be too late. However, after Sun Peng finished washing, he leaned on the head of the bed, took out his mobile phone and looked at it casually.
At more than two o'clock in the evening, the Internet was still very lively.
Feel free to open the Weibo of a few film critics who have been frequently watched recently, and as Sun Peng expected, several people are singing praises for "Dark Dead 2", and good words such as superb acting skills and grand scenes are thrown out without money; But at the same time, there are also several smears, and there are also a lot of all kinds of things that are not new, eat old books, and put old wine in new bottles......
"The eight immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers!"
After flipping through several Weibo posts, and then going to some film and television forums and post bars, Sun Peng couldn't help but sigh.
How is Dead in the Night 2?
Speaking of conscience, in Sun Peng's opinion, the scenes, special effects and other content of this film must not be considered bad, at least at the level of watchability.
But......
One is like what many film critics say, "Dark Dead 2" can't escape the lack of novelty in most movie sequels, the same lonely hero, the routine of bravely entering the tiger's den, coupled with the uninnovative action design, makes people feel the slightest sincerity - in the words of a grassroots blogger, it looks like a routine of making money!
The second one is naturally compared with "Hurricane Rescue".
If I had to give an inappropriate example, it would be that "Hurricane Rescue" or "Hurricane Rescue" on Earth is just a slightly weakened version; But "Dead in the Night 2" is a bit like the governor's early original Longtan, but the shooting technology and special effects are much better......
"Huh? Wrong wrong! ”
Thinking of this, Sun Peng hurriedly shook his head and gave himself a mouthful: ""Alone in Longtan" is also a good memory of my childhood, "Dark Night Killing 2", a broken movie with a sheep's head with a production fee of 400 million yuan and selling more than 100 million dog meat, how can it be compared with the governor?" It's not on the same level at all......
……? No matter what Sun Peng's judgment is, Tuesday's "Dark Dead 2" box office still exploded!
Mao Xu, Geng Qiu and other three major stars starred, directed by the famous director Qiu Zuoli, as well as the gimmick of 400 million cost, as well as the success of "Dark Dead Machine 1" and the accumulated word-of-mouth, all made "Dark Dead 2" a premiere day report card that was enough to satisfy them.
126 million!
Although it is not a particularly outstanding result compared to its investment and stars, it is dazzling enough, at least Sun Peng grinned after seeing this number, full of unconvincing - the hurricane rescue is only more than 20 million, which is a world of difference!
But......
The reputation of "Dead in the Night 2" began to festering rapidly on the Internet.
"A perfunctory work with no new ideas, and I regret spending those eighty dollars!"
"There is no comparison, there is no harm, I originally thought that "Hurricane Rescue" was actually quite ordinary, but after watching "Dead by Night 2", I understood what is really ordinary......"
"This movie has invested 400 million? Japanese Yen or Korean Won? Anyway, I don't believe in Huaxia coins, who loves who believes it! “
"The sequel spell is back, and after watching the second part, I'm starting to miss the first part of Dead by Night."
……
Among the disturbing film reviews, Xiao Worm's comment may be the most representative: "When will Chinese movies stop this routine of quickly making money?" After making money in the first episode, I couldn't wait to release the second part, but the result was that the script was nothing new, but the investment soared because of the increase in the salaries of the stars. To be honest, I was disappointed, disappointed! “
"Same routine, different feeling!"
The article by the well-known film critic Yiye Zhiqiu pulled up "Hurricane Rescue" and criticized it unceremoniously: "It is also a routine for a family member to be kidnapped and a lone hero to go abroad to save it, but "Hurricane Rescue" made the tension and pleasure of a Hollywood spy movie, while "Dark Dead 2" was made boring and procrastinating, it is really hard to imagine, one is a movie that costs about 100 million, and the other costs as much as 400 million...... Is there really 400 million? ”
“…… Damn it! ”
After reading Yiye Zhiqiu's article, Fei Lan almost crushed his front teeth.
Isn't that nonsense?
Which movie doesn't cost water these days?
Although the total cost of "Dead in the Night 2" is less than 400 million, it is not sincere enough to say that more than 300 million is 400 million? It's better than those guys who still go in more than 100 million and shout 300 million, right?
"Jingle Bell ......"
Just when Fei Lan's hand was itching and wanted to smash a cup or something, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
Grabbing the microphone, Fei Lan asked in a stiff tone: "Hey, I'm Fei Lan, who are you?" ”
"Mr. Fei, I'm Mao Xu!"
Mao Xu's voice on the phone looked very proud, and he said with a smile: "Have you watched the box office of our movie on the first day?" 126 million, that's a lot higher than the first part, right? ”
"Well, that's good."
Taking a deep breath, Fei Lan suppressed the fire he had just risen.
Although the movie reviews are really popular, but the box office can't be faked, he must be satisfied! If the trend is good, it is already a sure thing to get three or four billion on the weekend, and it will reach more than one billion when it is released.
To put it bluntly, this movie can't be lost!
Although the revenue ratio is definitely not comparable to that of "Hurricane Rescue", don't forget that this movie still has overseas box office, as well as the income from future TV, Internet and other broadcast rights, this wave must be earned. The only thing that may make Fei Lan unhappy is that according to the current situation, the third part may be far away.
After pondering for a while, Fei Lan said in a deep voice: "No, it's not time for us to relax, the film's reputation on the Internet is average, we must step up publicity...... You have worked hard these days, run a few more cities! ”
"Don't worry, you can't delay!"
Mao Xu also knew the severity, and immediately agreed.
However, his mentality was still a lot more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Fei, don't care too much about word of mouth, just with our results on the first day, the box office must be more than one billion, don't worry......"
"Well, thank you guys!"
Nodding, Fei Lan finally dispelled the depression in his heart just now.
In the eyes of the two of them, although the reputation of "Dead in the Night 2" on the Internet is indeed a bit poor, but with the current first-day box office, it seems that there is no need to worry too much?
It's just that they all seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, in this era of Weibo and Moments informing everything, some things will be slapped in the face if they are said to be early......
