A week later, the box office of "Zombie Kid" was too poor, and it was released in advance, and the final total box office was only 530 million yuan.

This is a bit of a big surprise to Hao Huan, he thought that there would be a box office of six or seven billion, but he didn't expect the box office to collapse so badly in the end!

At dinner.

eats the meals cooked by Wang Lexin, mainly because Hao Huan has not been busy with anything except for advertising endorsements these days, and Wang Lexin is also busy with nothing except arranging the release and cooperation of "Animal World".

So Hao Huan can not eat takeout at dinner, he will not eat takeout, anyway, it is Wang Lexin who is working hard to cook, not him.

"Look! I also said that anyone who shoots my movie can be popular! This Liang Gangren is also a well-known professional director, and as a result, 300 million yuan was filmed to achieve this result! ”

said, Hao Huan did not forget to sarcastically: ""Mr. Zombie" has won 4 billion box office for you to shoot a stupid pig!" And the production cost is only more than 100 million yuan! This is the gap in the director's ability! Liang Gangren really disappointed me, I didn't expect him to even make a movie of this level! ”

Wang Lexin hadn't heard Hao Huan scolding her stupid pig for many days, and now that she heard these two words again, she was speechless and disgusted.

But "Zombie Kid" did pounce a bit badly!

If the production cost is 100 million yuan, then the box office of 500 million is still passing, but the problem is that the production cost of this movie is 300 million yuan!

As a result, the box office was only a little over 500 million, which is a bit miserable!

She explained, "Maybe he's not a good fit for this style of film, right?" Comedy plus suspense thriller, these two movie classifications are not just a director can make a good shot. ”

"You will also say that this is not something that any director can shoot well!"

Hao Huan smiled: "Then do you mean that you still want to say that you are the kind of director who can make this kind of movie well?" ”

"Not ......"

Wang Lexin muttered quietly.

"Don't be low-key, you are!"

Hao Huan said: "Through the comparison between "Mr. Zombie" and "Zombie Kid", you can see the director gap between you and Liang Gangren! ”

Wang Lexin explained: "That's because you are the action director and producer in "Mr. Zombie". ”

"Okay, you won't be happy to accept the praise, right? Then you just wait for the release of "Animal World" and see how many pounds and taels you have! ”

Saying that, Hao Huan reminded: "This time, "Animal World" will be screened in advance! ”

Wang Lexin instantly panicked: "Wouldn't this be bad?" If the word-of-mouth of the screening is not good, the film scheduling rate and box office will plummet! ”

Hao Huan said: "A good movie is not afraid of being screened, if the movie is not good, even if it is not screened in advance, it will not be a good box office." ”

Wang Lexin was surprised: "Boss, have you seen the finished film?" ”

Hao Huan replied: "I took a cursory look. ”

Wang Lexin said nervously: "Is that not good?" ”

"Not really!"

After Hao Huan finished speaking, Wang Lexin was desperate: "Since it doesn't work, why do you have to arrange screenings......"

Hao Huan said: "What I said is that the global box office of 10 billion is definitely not good, but it is still okay if it is five or six billion." ”

"Five or six billion?"

Wang Lexin looked at Hao Huan dumbfounded, so I didn't smash it this time?

Hao Huan said seriously: "You heard it right! Although it is a little worse than the movies I made, this level of quality can still be achieved at the global box office of five or six billion. ”

Wang Lexin couldn't believe it: "Boss, you're not lying to me, are you?" ”

"Why am I lying to you? If you don't believe me, I'll schedule it for next week, and you'll know if I'm lying to you! ”

Hao Huan said disdainfully: "You, what you lack is my self-confidence!" If I ask me to shoot this movie, or let me guide you on the spot, maybe it will really have a chance to exceed 10 billion at the global box office! ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Lexin was inexplicably confident.

……

10 days later.

"Animal World" opened a pre-sale box office, the film's promotional videos Hao Huan and Wang Lexin were posted on Weibo, and other websites and social platforms also began to advertise.

The screening was only broadcast a week in advance, and at this time, the advance box office of "Animal World" was so-so, neither good nor bad.

Because of this movie, Hao Huan did not participate in the production at all, the director is Wang Lexin, and the screenwriter is a not well-known existence in the industry, so many viewers don't have much desire when they see that this is not Hao Huan's movie.

As long as they are afraid of being cheated, many people wait for others to watch the ratings and word-of-mouth after watching the screening, and finally decide whether to buy tickets to watch this movie made by Wang Lexin.

At the end of the day.

The advance ticket office just reached 5 million.

This result is very good for popular movies, but for Hao Huan, the pre-sale of 5 million box office in one day is actually a bit of a hit.

Even Wang Lexin actually feels that this box office is a bit of a hit, because she thinks that if she passes, the pre-sale box office will have to reach 1,000 trillion on at least the first day.

And two days later, the screening officially began.

Before the official release of the country next week, the pre-sale box office will have to break 100 million, of course, if you can't hit the street, you have to watch the word-of-mouth after the screening.

If the word-of-mouth score is good after the screening, then the box office is guaranteed!

So at this time, Wang Lexin began to get nervous......

The number of screenings is one at noon today, one at noon tomorrow, and after the two screenings are over, you can only wait until the official release next week to watch it.

It's noon today.

Hao Huan and Wang Lexin went to see the first premiere.

This "Animal World" is a 3D movie, although Hao Huan has taken a cursory look at the finished film, but whether the movie as a whole works or not, I still have to go to the theater to find out.

After taking the ticket and entering the theater.

Hao Huan found that the attendance rate of the first screening in this theater was not very good, because the seats in the first two rows were basically empty.

There are also quite a few empty seats in the back two rows, and the occupancy rate is just over 50%.

This does not bode well!

Because the screenings of "Inception" and "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" are very popular, not to mention full, but basically the average attendance rate is more than 70%, and some theaters are even nearly full.

Wang Lexin saw that this was not a very good attendance rate, and she became more and more nervous.

As the saying goes, the authorities are fans, she can see what problems this movie has when she watches "Zombie Kid", but let her watch the movies she made, except for some details and acting skills, she can't see her own problems and movie problems in other aspects.

So she doesn't know if "Animal World" is a street hit now? Is it good to shoot?

Putting on 3D glasses and watching the movie start to be screened, Wang Lexin's heart rose to his throat.

I'm so afraid of hitting the streets!

She felt that this time she was even more nervous than when she first directed "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", so she bought popcorn and didn't have the heart to eat it.

Hao Huan watched her fidgeting and watching the movie, and simply took the popcorn in her arms and ate it herself, so as not to waste food.

Soon, after some inconsequential introductions in the opening scene were played, the movie entered the main topic.

In this movie, the plot at the beginning is a thrilling police and bandit chase battle, under the 3D vision, this kind of drag racing gun fight, and the helicopter hovering and tracking in the air, is simply a visual feast!

Many domestic directors can't shoot this kind of sci-fi shot, just this opening shot is enough for Hao Huan to praise Wang Lexin for a day and a night.

Because this time Wang Lexin went to direct it himself, he didn't participate in the whole process, and he intervened!

She can shoot such a wonderful and shocking, such a thrilling shot, which is enough to prove that her directing level is really extraordinary.

The police car roared and chased the criminals, colliding and wiping the car all the way, and these shots and close-ups were handled too well.

When passing through the tunnel, the lights in the tunnel suddenly went out!

The police car chasing after him hurriedly informed: "Not good! The tunnel line is ruined! The criminals made a move in the tunnel in advance! ”

"Notify the ambulance! There have been multiple car accidents in the tunnel! ”

The camera went black and then it took two or three seconds to return to normal.

After the camera switches in this form, the shot of this drag race chase ends like this.

Later, what made the audience curious was that after entering the tunnel, the criminals actually broke out of their shells and tracked them away!

In the whole tunnel, there are many cars, and the criminal vehicle that is being tracked is now empty on it, and the suspect took advantage of the car accident and the tunnel lights to go out, perfectly got rid of the police, blended into the crowd, and couldn't find it!

Even if they are examined one by one in the end, it is impossible to determine who is the suspect!

So, the suspense remains!

And this time the crime case was named "Rat Robbery", because this jewelry robbery was a burglary by digging tunnels into a jewelry store to steal.

The movie "Animal World" starts with the criminal character of a mouse.

It's a suspenseful fantasy movie!

The characteristics of animals are used to perfectly interpret a criminal organization called "Animal World......

After watching the highlights of the opening, the next step is to enter the main story line.

Although it is no longer as exciting as before, it is impossible for a movie to be high-energy throughout the whole process, and if you want to tell a story well, you must have other narrative plots to explain.

That's the whole story!

At this point, Hao Huan felt that Wang Lexin filmed very well, and some directors liked it and avoided it, thus ignoring some plots that they thought were unimportant.

Although this does not have much impact, as a good movie, it should be taken seriously in all shots and shot without discrimination.

Eating popcorn, Hao Huan is enjoying this really good suspense blockbuster!

Yes, it's a blockbuster!

The production cost of 300 million yuan was smashed, but Wang Lexin really spent so much money and spent so much money on film production, so many shots were shot too well!

Coupled with the rendering of post-production special effects, many places are no worse than the science fiction movies of Mellywood!

Unlike "Zombie Kid", which also has a production cost of 300 million yuan, Liang Gangren will definitely not spend 300 million yuan on other productions except for finding a group of popular stars to participate.

This is why Hao Huan trusts Wang Lexin and lets Wang Lexin manage the company's finances, so that she can rest assured that she will be able to make movies.

If it were someone else, he would be thankful that a movie with a production cost of 300 million yuan could be made with a quality of 200 million yuan!

It is even said that the quality of "Zombie Kid" is only worth about 100 million yuan.

That's the gap!

Hao Huan took a sip of Coke and moistened his throat, this time Wang Lexin was stable!

This "Animal World" will definitely not hit the streets, if it is domestic, it is estimated that the box office can exceed 4 billion yuan, and if it is abroad, the box office is estimated to be of this quality.

Of course, Wang Lexin still has shortcomings.

This is compared to Hao Huan!

Compared with other directors, she is indeed very good at shooting!

If it was before, Hao Huan would definitely prick Wang Lexin's heart and say that her various little problems, because these problems are dealt with, they can add a lot of points to the movie.

Regarding this story, Hao Huan believes that if he shoots, the domestic box office will definitely exceed 5 billion yuan, and even if the global box office does not have 10 billion yuan, it can at least 8 or 9 billion!

This is the gap between him and Wang Lexin now, and it is also where Wang Lexin still needs to learn from him.

Because Wang Lexin's level is still some distance from Hao Huan, this movie has lost at least two billion box office.

This is a point that Hao Huan feels distressed!

However, he can't "Zaxin" this time, otherwise Wang Lexin will really be pierced by him until he doesn't even have the last bit of confidence.

So after watching the movie, on the way back by car, Hao Huan unceremoniously praised: "It's a lot of progress!" Those difficult shots are faster than mine! If I continue like this, I will be surpassed by you! ”

Wang Lexin is finally happy!

So, did I shoot really well this time?

It turns out that I don't have any directing skills, right?

She regained her confidence a little, and the smile couldn't be hidden.

She took out her mobile phone and looked at it, but the pre-sale box office was still not very ideal, and the pre-sale began until the third day, and the box office was only 13 million yuan.

So she felt that Hao Huan must have comforted her again, it is estimated that this movie is not as good as Hao Huan said, but Hao Huan deliberately said this in order not to hit her.

Thinking about it, she couldn't be happier again.

stared at his mobile phone and said: "The box office pre-sale has been on sale for three days, and it has begun to be screened, and now it is just 13 million yuan." ”

Hao Huan said: "Don't worry! Now the screening has just begun! It's not officially launched yet! Wait an hour for you to watch it again, and you'll know whether the screening was a big success or a failure! ”

Wang Lexin began to get nervous and began to look forward to it.

After watching the movie, she felt that there was no problem, and she also felt that the story and shots were well shot, and the special effects were handled well.

But every director seems to have a common problem, that is, he feels that his movie has no problem, and it will definitely be popular, but in the end, they all hit the street!

For example, this was the case when Hao Huan filmed the first "Fright Era", and the movies made by Zhou Zhongcai in the past two years are also like this.

and director Liang Gangren's just-released "Zombie Kid" is also like this, they all feel that there is nothing wrong with the filming, they all feel that they have made it well, and they all feel that the movie can be a big hit at the box office.

The result?

The last one is worse than the other!

That's what she's afraid of now!

So before the box office skyrocketed, she couldn't believe what Hao Huan said.

I'm afraid that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!

It's a rollercoaster feeling, but it's not comfortable.

After leaving the theater.

Hao Huan is going to drive to Seafood City to buy seafood trenches and have a meal to celebrate.

……

An hour later.

After buying seafood and returning to the car, Hao Huan drove the car, Wang Lexin took out her mobile phone and looked at it nervously, and then her face finally couldn't hold back the real joy!

"Boss! Really! The box office is starting to gain momentum! ”
