Chapter 355: An Incredible Miracle
Although almost every audience who watched the movie shouted to blow it up, it actually did not make too many waves in the film market, after all, there are only 100 screenings in the country, this number is too small, the audience who really saw the movie did not exceed 10,000, and the box office was only 400,000, which is a failing number for the screening!
However, the agreement of 80% attendance was reached, so that night, "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" updated the latest chapters of ten chapters, which satisfied the hearts of all readers, and many readers decided to look at the 20 chapters for the sake of the explosion, and ran to support "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" the next day.
Even if this live-action movie is rotten to the extreme, it should be donated to the movie ticket!
Of course, there are also many movie theater employees who immediately noticed that this movie was unusual after seeing this "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", and intuitively sensed that this "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" should be able to sell well.
It's a pity that when "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" was screened, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the leaders of the theater chain had already left work, and for an employee of a movie theater, it was almost impossible to communicate with the leaders after work.
Even if a few leaders got the reports of their subordinates, they laughed at it, this "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" has neither a big-name star, nor any preliminary publicity, even if the quality is really good, it is nothing more than that...... No matter how good the quality is, can it be better than a Hollywood blockbuster? It's just a brag from the people below!
The attitude of the leaders of the theater chain towards "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" has not changed, but on Station B and Weibo, the wind direction is quietly changing.
From 10 o'clock in the evening, a brand new Weibo topic called "I am the tap water of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" was created, and some Weibo users who watched the screening began to post "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" in their own Weibo, in these Weibo, users used sparing no effort to praise "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" as the best fantasy blockbuster ever made in China.
However, in the face of the spontaneous Amway of many Weibo users, the comments below Weibo were a lot of ridicule, saying that these people must be water army, and these Weibo users who were angry scolded endlessly, and the whole topic was stirred up internally.
But in any case, "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" finally made waves on Weibo's social media, and it also aroused the curiosity of many film critics.
To say that these film critics themselves are also very depressed, it stands to reason that as a job, no matter whether a movie is good or not, you have to watch it a few times. But the problem is that this "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" has always been too mysterious, although there has been a notice of release, but there has been no specific film schedule, and there has not even been an early media screening, there is no news, so even if these film critics want to complain a few words, they don't have any chance.
However, as "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" began to ferment on Weibo's media, some very few film critics ordered movie tickets for the zero point show of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" with the mood of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs.
The idea of these film critics is very simple, this "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" is mostly an extremely ugly movie, so when the time comes, this movie can be used as a hypnotic medicine, and sleeping while watching the movie can be regarded as a combination of work and rest!
It's just that when the zero o'clock field of the movie began to play, when all the film critics saw "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" for the first time, everything became different, these filmmakers almost walked out of the movie theater with red eyes, and then they didn't care that it was already two o'clock in the morning, they just felt that their minds were filled with all kinds of unhappy flames at this time, and when they picked up their mobile phones, they entered frantically, wrote fresh film reviews, and sent them to various self-media and media.
One of the film critics' reviews was written like this.
【
This extremely mysterious "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" has finally been released, and I watched this movie with red eyes at zero o'clock. Now for an objective comment.
From the director's point of view, Mu Tian, the chief director of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", is both unknown and rubbish, looking like a ...... who has just graduated from film school No...... I haven't been to film school at all, at most I'm just a newcomer who has watched movies for a few years!
From the perspective of editing, the editing of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" can only be barely qualified, this should have graduated from film school, but it is estimated that the graduation thesis was copied.
From the perspective of dubbing, I should have just graduated from the School of Broadcasting, and then the graduation thesis was written by myself...... On the other hand, the only names I could recognize in this movie were seen from the voice actors.
Then there are the actors, first of all, I don't know any of these actors, and I believe that few in the circle do, but I have to admit that except for the heroine, all the actors performed very well, although their performances were not so amazing, just the right interpretation of the definition of supporting roles.
As for this heroine, well, I can only say that fortunately this is a cold and glamorous character, otherwise the whole movie would have been ruined in the hands of this heroine.
Finally, I want to talk about the special effects of this movie, dear Chinese audiences, you can raise your hands and cheer. Because since this movie, no one can righteously accuse Huaxia that no movie can compare with Hollywood special effects, which is about the first Huaxia film that can defeat in special effects...... Or at least a commercial blockbuster that is on par with Hollywood's special effects, it is indeed an unparalleled achievement at this point, and it must be blown up.
To sum up, I give zero points for director, two points for editing, five points for dubbing, five points for actors, ten points for special effects, and finally eight points...... Don't give me any average, if you have to calculate the average, then I'll give 20 points for the special effect!
At the same time, the total number of views of the promotional video about "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" on station B also exceeded 100,000...... Note that this is not the advertising video played by the well-known UP host, but the promotional video of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" posted by the official video account of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" with less than 1,000 followers!
On station b, this is already a remarkable number for a pure promotional video!
——————————————————
On June 18th, the first day of the release of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", it was also the third day of the release of two other Hollywood blockbusters and a domestic blockbuster.
If you come to the cinema before 12 o'clock in the morning, you will find that the popularity of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" seems to be quite good, and nearly 1/4 of the scheduled films are given to "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen". It's a pity that there are very few people who come to the cinema to watch movies, and there are less than 100 people in a morning, and there are not even ten people who go to watch "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen"!
Almost all of these audiences are viewers who have gone to watch a few blockbuster movies!
But this is also normal, except for those who don't have time in the afternoon and deliberately go to the movies in the morning, 95% of the people in China will choose to watch movies in the afternoon, and the movie theater in the morning has always been extremely deserted.
It's a pity that when the time reached 12 noon, although the popularity of the movie theater ushered in a wave of peaks, the name of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" disappeared on the release notice board, and all the blockbusters were replaced by those three blockbusters, as well as a few niche literary films shot by niche directors.
"This "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" should be doomed to death!" A movie theater worker sighed.
"What's wrong? Isn't this kind of garbage movie dead and warped a good thing? Another employee asked, puzzled.
"Of course, it's a good thing that the garbage movie is dead, but I was also present when "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" was screened yesterday and watched the whole movie again, this is indeed a rare domestic special effects blockbuster! If you are named in Hollywood, it will not be a problem to sell more than a billion yuan! ”
"It's a pity that the filmmaker of this movie is simply stuffed with poop in his head, and the propaganda methods are so inferior and mentally retarded, a good movie is blind in vain!" The employee sighed.
"It's that good!" Another employee next to him screamed in surprise, as an old partner who has worked together for more than a year, he knows very well what his partner's temper is, if this is not really a good movie, his partner will not say that!
"What's that...... When is the next screening in our cinema? I'm going to check it out! The employee said.
"I'll see! 3:30 p.m. ...... Okay, the most rubbish time of the whole afternoon, but that's fine, it's not a big deal if you run into the theater and be lazy! The manager won't scold you either! The employee smiled wryly.
After the small peak of 12 to 1 noon, the whole movie theater was silent again, until about 3:10 p.m., when all the employees were dozing off in the hall, suddenly seven or eight fashionably dressed people walked in!
These seven or eight viewers redeemed the movie tickets, and then sat on the waiting sofa and started chatting, and the two employees next to them pricked up their ears to listen, and found that these seven or eight people were actually the audience waiting to watch "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen"!
"This is probably the entire audience of the whole movie!" The employee whispered, and then two or three minutes later, two more audience members came in and also exchanged movie tickets for "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen".
30 seconds later, two more viewers walked in, and it was "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" again.
A minute later, two more audience members walked in, also "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen"
Only ten seconds later, a full ten audience members walked in and exchanged ten movie pieces of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" in one go.
……
In the next 15 minutes, seventy or eighty audiences poured into the cinema one after another, and these viewers complained about why the movie was released at 3:30 o'clock, and then complained that there was only one movie theater around the theater to show "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", and finally the entire small theater with only 88 seats was full...... There are only one or two empty seats in the corners!
"It's okay! On the first day of release, it's not surprising that there is such popularity! The employees explained themselves in a somewhat odd tone.
And as the movie played, there were exclamations one after another from inside the whole auditorium, because this theater was extremely close to the hall, so many viewers waiting in the hall heard this kind of screaming.
"What kind of movie is this?" An audience member asked curiously.
"It's "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen"!" An employee explained honestly.
"So when will the next one be released? I want to see what they're calling! The audience member said more curiously.
"The next part will be released at 9:30 p.m.!" The staff replied.
"What! It's been five hours, your movie theater is sick, I won't watch it! The audience member scolded and walked away.
This is the disadvantage of too few films, once there are fewer films, or the time is too bad, then a large number of audiences who were originally in need will be lost, and filming can often determine the fate of more than 90% of a movie.
After 12 noon in this movie theater all day, "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" was released three times, and this is already a very good result, and some movie theaters even have only one film schedule a day...... This is also the result of the compulsion of the theater chain, according to the regulations of the theater chain, the newly released film must be scheduled for more than one film in the second half of the day, and it will last at least three days.
And the purpose of such a regulation is, of course, to give some well-received movies a chance to live.
However, many theaters have already made up their minds, and after three days, they will put "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" into the cold palace.
In this way, June 18th ended in a tepid situation, when 12 o'clock in the morning, when various data began to be summarized, the data statisticians of major theaters were surprised to find that most of the data were expected results under normal expectations, but there was one data that was abnormal.
That is the data of attendance, at this time, the top of the attendance list is neither the two Hollywood blockbusters, nor the domestic blockbuster, but a "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" that has never been heard of.
"Do you want to report this news?" The data staff hesitated in their hearts, it stands to reason that such data means that "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" is a film with excellent potential, and the number of films scheduled should be increased in the future. But it was already 12 o'clock in the morning, and the leaders had already rested, so the final report was put on the next day.
However, there was a theater owner who didn't rest so early, he fought in the nightclub until two o'clock in the morning, and then saw today's data in detail in the backstage of the theater...... The boss, who was already a little drunk, after discovering that there was actually a movie with a 100% attendance rate, drunkenly began to operate in the background, and changed all the movie screenings that did not have movie tickets sold the next day to this "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen".
After completing this suffocating operation, the boss fell asleep directly inside the KTV. When he woke up early the next morning, after realizing what he had done, he let out a howl of pain, and at this time he could no longer change the film schedule, and he felt that his income today was destined to be lost!
On June 17th, there were only less than 10,000 Weibo topics about "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", but by the end of June 18, the Weibo topics of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" suddenly increased to 150,000, completing a 15-fold surpass in one day. And the video views of the B battle have officially exceeded 500,000, rushing into the top ten of the daily ranking of station b!
This is the best result of the advertising video of station b in a month, which scared the people in the advertising department of station b, at the same time, the review function on Douban is open, although the number of reviews of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" is less than 1,000 people, but the score has climbed directly to 9.3 points in one breath, which is the highest rating among all the movies released recently, and even surpasses all American blockbusters.
Based on the above factors, since the morning, among the mainstream media clients such as Toutiao, Tencent News, NetEase News, etc., there have been some self-media comments about "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen...... Because the filmmaker did not spend money on the self-media, the publicity of these self-media is relatively objective...... These self-media are completely moved by the high quality of this movie after watching "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", and began to promote it spontaneously.
As a result, the comments of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" further fermented on the Internet, and the original 150,000 Weibo topics soared to 1 million in one morning, and the number of hits on station B also exceeded 800,000, although the Douban score dropped from 9.3 to 9.0, the number of ratings increased from 1,000 to 3,000.
At this time, the main scheduling time of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" was still concentrated, so the theater suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, a large number of audiences suddenly poured into the theater in the morning.
The attendance rate of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" before 12 o'clock actually reached 50%, which shocked all the staff in the theater.
And in the afternoon, because of the greatly reduced number of films, "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" fell into a full state, almost from 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the only few "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" in the evening were all sold out, and even the individual seats in some corners and corners were also sold, and almost every theater's "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" was in a state of fullness, which was a complete shock to all theaters.
At the same time, there were quarrels in the service halls of many theaters, and the audience began to scold the theaters for being stupid, and they only scheduled such a few shows, so that they had no chance to see the movie at all.
And the most shocking thing was the boss who did the wrong operation because he was drunk and called the earth-shattering in the morning, he happily watched his theater be full, about half better than the business of other theaters around, and his face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and at the same time immediately made a decision to change all the spare shows the next day to "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen"!
So, at the end of the second day of the movie's release, all the filmmakers were stunned to see a frightening fact.
A movie that is extremely mysterious and no one is optimistic about, a movie with only 400,000 box office at the screening and only 5 million box office on the premiere day, suddenly burst out with amazing energy the next day, and the box office performance reached 15.2 million.
Of course, at this time, compared with the daily box office of "Jurassic World 8", which is the No. 1 box office at the box office, as high as 180 million, this result is still not enough to see, and even only the fourth place in the single-day total box office list, and the domestic blockbuster in third place also has a daily box office of 86.3 million.
But the potential behind "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" is impossible for anyone to ignore.
"Do you want to add some more films?" All the theater managers started thinking about it, and then they escalated the suggestion to the higher-ups, who were very hesitant.
At this time, although the results of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" look good, the daily box office is still too low, in case the film schedule is raised, resulting in a decrease in the box office of other Hollywood blockbusters, it will be a thing that outweighs the loss!
However, if there is no reaction to the market, it will violate some basic rules, and behind this "Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", it is said that there is also a background of a powerful family.
So after careful consideration, the daily schedule on the third day of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" not only did not decrease, but increased from 5% to 7.5%...... Don't look at the addition of only 2.5%, but this is half of the original schedule!
——————————————
On June 20th, on the third day of the release of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", the number of discussions on Weibo topics exceeded 3 million, the number of broadcasts on station B exceeded 1 million, and the daily ranking of advertising videos on station B ranked third in history...... This is the best result ever for all pure advertising videos on station B!
By the way, the second-ranked video at this time is the advertising video made by the well-known UP master.
In other words, the second and third places in the daily ranking of Station B were all occupied by "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" at this time.
But if you pull down the ranking to 36th, you will find that the 36th place at this time is occupied by a film called "The Soul of the Lily Burning Forever?" Forever Mina and the Queen" video ...... This is a secondary creation video with the video material of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", and although the creator of the video is not a famous UP master, he is also well-known in the circle.
In the introduction of this video, this up master said that after watching the movie, he really couldn't forget the thrilling soul of the lily, as well as the extremely cool combat special effects, so he contacted the film official, and after getting the authorization to use some materials, he edited out this personal secondary creation video!
And a secondary creation video can be ranked 36th on the whole site, and "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" can be regarded as entering the eruption period from the fermentation period in terms of the popularity of station B.
Because at this moment, outside the list, there are already more than 200 recreated videos of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", which have appeared in the works library of station B.
On June 20th, the total box office of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" was 32 million, and the average attendance rate exceeded 65%, while the average attendance rate of "Jurassic World 8", which ranked first at this time, was only 31%.
As a result, the leaders of the theater chain began to meditate hard again, holding the surprising report card of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", scratching their heads in confusion, and finally decided to carefully float the film schedule again, increasing the original 7.5% of the film schedule to 10%.
And in some hot spots in the afternoon, I finally had the number of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen".
However, outside the big theater chain, there is a theater called Qingqiu Cinema Line, which only has more than 300 movie theaters, but it decided to go off the rails, cutting the total number of three blockbusters in the entire theater chain to 50%, and at the same time increasing the number of films in "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" to 40%, obviously planning to make a big gamble!
——————————————————
On June 21, on the fourth day of the release of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", the number of Weibo topics exceeded 8 million, and the number of views on station b exceeded 2 million, successfully achieving the first achievement in the daily ranking of advertising videos on station b, and the total number of secondary creation videos on station B exceeded 500.
However, it is worth mentioning that at this time, the first, second, and third stations on the day of station b all belong to "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", the first at this time is the first version of the trailer of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", the second is the advertising video that belongs to the UP master, and the third is the second version of the promotional video of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen".
This promotional video was uploaded at 8 o'clock in the morning on June 21, but by 12 noon, it had jumped to the third place in the daily ranking of the whole site, and it attracted 800,000 views in four hours, like a soaring myth, which stunned all the staff of station B.
And what is even more explosive is the box office of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen", a large number of viewers were given to Amway to the theater by Weibo and Station B, watching this, known as the first movie in Chinese fantasy, and finally left the theater with a full sense of satisfaction, as well as countless word-of-mouth and tears.
On June 21, the single-day box office of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" exceeded 50 million, reaching 62.83 million. And the boss of the Qingqiu Cinema Line couldn't straighten up with a smile, because "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" made him earn nearly 10 million at the box office in one day, which is an achievement that his small cinema chain has never achieved!
At this time, even the most stubborn filmmakers have to admit that a miracle movie is rising.
——————————————————————
On June 22, the average daily schedule of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" reached 25%, becoming the third place in the total number of daily films, in addition to two Hollywood blockbusters pressing on the head, the domestic blockbuster only had 18% of the daily schedule. And the box office of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" successfully exceeded 100 million on this day, reaching 112 million!
On June 23, the total number of films scheduled was 30%, and the total number of films scheduled per day ranked second, with a full-day box office of 131.1 million.
On June 24, the total number of films scheduled was 35%, ranking first in the daily film schedule, with a full-day box office of 156.21 million!
On June 25, the total number of films was 39%, ranking first in the daily film schedule, with a full-day box office of 189.3 million, and this is also the pinnacle of the life of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen Part 1".
After that, the popularity finally began to slowly subside, and the box office and film schedule of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" began to slowly decrease, and finally until it was completely offline on July 20, the total box office of "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" reached 852.12 million, but unfortunately, the 1 billion prediction made by Mu Tian did not come true in the end.
But all the theater staff and managers have witnessed the birth of this movie, it can be said that this is the most incredible movie in the counterattack curve after "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", although the total box office of this movie did not even enter the top 40 in film history, but this achievement has been deeply engraved in everyone's hearts.
It is conceivable that "The Legend of the Great Sword Saint Galen" has truly become a big IP, and when the second movie is released, it will definitely usher in a new starting point.
