Chapter 177, this movie is not simple [ask for subscription]
For now, the box office of "Lost Delta" during the pre-sale period is really beating "Infernal Affairs".
Hao Huan looked at the cover of the movie and secretly rejoiced: "It's good that I didn't use "Horror Cruise" as the movie title!" Otherwise, let alone the pre-sale box office exceeded 500 million, even if it was 200 million, I am afraid it would be difficult to reach! ”
Sure enough, a good movie name is indeed necessary and useful!
Hao Huan suddenly thought of his first movie, "Fright Times", isn't this a brain-dead name?
Seeing this kind of movie title, and then looking at the movie classification as horror and thriller, how many audiences in this country are willing to buy tickets to watch this movie?
On the other hand, "Horror Cruise", the movie classification is also considered a thriller, but the degree of thriller is nothing, basically the vast majority of the audience can bear it, so remove the label "thriller", and then add a pseudo-"science fiction" classification label to the "suspense" label, and then change the movie name "Lost Delta", which sounds like it will not be dissuaded, so with the wonderful movie promotional film, it can instantly attract so many audiences!
This is also a clever marketing tool!
Otherwise, movies with suspense and thriller themes are indeed too niche and unpopular for the audience.
Hao Huan got up early to go to the theater, and he was used to going to the cinema to watch the premiere every time his movie was released.
Feeling the atmosphere of watching the movie in the theater and feeling the audience's viewing process is a rare and valuable experience for him.
And whether a movie is good or bad, the most intuitive judgment is to see the audience's live viewing experience.
For example, if a comedy is not laughed by a few audiences in the entire theater, then the comedy has failed.
And a special effects blockbuster, if there is no audience who can't help but admire the whole process, then it means that the special effects scenes of this movie are not enough to shock the audience.
This is the experience that Hao Huan gained when he came to the theater to watch it in person!
In the co-pilot's seat, Wang Lexin had a morning vacation today, the purpose of which was to accompany Hao Huan to watch the premiere of "Lost Delta", and when he finished watching it, he would shoot "Painted Skin" at noon.
And the crew members basically go to the theater to watch the premiere now, because Hao Huan has chartered three movies for everyone to watch at the nearby Dynasty Cinemas.
Wang Lexin asked curiously: "Boss, why don't we watch the premiere with the crew?" ”
She was very puzzled, Hao Huan had chartered three movies for the whole crew to watch the premiere, but why didn't she go to Dynasty Cinemas with the crew to watch the premiere, and also picked other theaters to watch the premiere alone, which felt like she didn't fit in.
Hao Huan said methodically: "The crew already knows what kind of movie this is, what the plot is, can you still feel the real movie-watching atmosphere when you watch the premiere with them!" It's like everyone else has spoiled the drama with you, and you know the ending of the movie, so what else can you expect from watching it? ”
"Forehead ......"
Wang Lexin said: "Then aren't you the same? The scripts are all written by you, the movies are all shot by you, and you know the plot of the movie so well, so don't you have nothing to look forward to when you watch the premiere? What's the difference between this and watching it with the crew? ”
"Call you stupid and you still don't believe it!"
Hao Huan snorted coldly: "I just watched the premiere to feel the atmosphere and post-viewing experience of real audiences watching my movie!" Otherwise, do you think I'm too idle to go to the theater and sit in the theater and waste time? ”
"Oh......"
Wang Lexin understood, it turns out that you want to see what the audience looks like when they watch the movie!
No wonder I didn't watch the premiere with the crew! None of them are real audiences, and the viewing atmosphere is indeed not too real.
After rushing to the theater, Wang Lexin walked in with Hao Huan, and was instantly dumbfounded!
"Boss! That's a lot of people! ”
The waiting hall of the entire theater is full of people! There are still many people who don't have a place to sit, stand together and chat, or play with their phones!
Many young people are holding their mobile phones to record videos of the scene, feeling that the movie theater is so hot! All of them came to see the premiere of "Lost Delta"!
Hao Huan, who was wearing a mask, lowered his voice and warned Wang Lexin: "Don't talk, go and queue up to get tickets!" ”
"Oh......"
Wang Lexin hurriedly shut up, for fear that someone would accidentally recognize them by the voice.
Walking to line up to get tickets, Wang Lexin is also wearing that blue disposable mask, so no one will recognize her, and among so many spectators at the scene, there are also some people wearing masks, mainly because now that they are coming in November, the air quality is a little worse, so many people are wearing masks when they go out, but it will not seem that they have no silver here.
After queuing for 5 minutes, she finally got the ticket, Wang Lexin walked towards Hao Huan, who had no place to sit and was looking down at her mobile phone at the door, and then she stood on tiptoe and leaned into Hao Huan's ear and whispered: "Boss, do you want to eat popcorn?" ”
"No!" Hao Huan responded with a suppressed voice.
Wang Lexin whispered: "Then I'll buy you a cup of Coke!" ”
She walked to the line, then bought a keg of popcorn and two glasses of Coke in her arms and walked back.
"Boss, take it!"
Hao Huan put the phone back in his pocket in disgust, took two glasses of Coke, and coughed: "Queue up to check the ticket!" ”
Check in 15 minutes in advance, which is also a rare phenomenon in theaters!
"Lost Delta" is so popular!
As high as 60% of the film scheduling rate, the premiere at 8:30 directly made the waiting area of this theater crowded with people, and many audiences who watched the 8:45 and 9 o'clock screenings arrived in advance, and they could only stroll outside for more than ten minutes before coming in.
Slowly moving forward, the line was a bit long, and the line coiled like a long snake was basically made up of young people between their teens and 30s.
Finally, they were finally arranged.
Wang Lexin pinched the ticket and stretched it out to the woman who checked the ticket, and then pointed to Hao Huan behind him and said, "I'm with him!" ”
After checking the tickets, she took two pairs of 3D glasses and walked towards the No. 5 theater at a faster pace.
Hao Huan held a glass of Coke in each hand, and looked at Wang Lexin helplessly, feeling as if she had brought her daughter over to watch a movie!
After Wang Lexin sat down, Hao Huan handed her a glass of Coke and said, "Take care of your Coke, don't drink it wrong!" ”
"Oh."
Wang Lexin responded casually, and then looked at Hao Huan with a stunned look in his eyes, don't drink the wrong thing anymore, what the hell?
She whispered, "I...... Did I miss a drink? ”
"Or else?"
Hao Huan was full of disdain and said, "You haven't touched that glass of Coke last time!" Because all you drink is my Coke! ”
Wang Lexin's eyes widened, is it really fake? She said nervously, "Boss, what about it...... Do you have hepatitis B or AIDS? ”
Hao Huan stared at her viciously, gritted his teeth and said, "You want to die, right?" ”
"I ......"
"Stupid pig! I don't even know how hepatitis B is transmitted! ”
Hao Huan stretched out his hand and patted Wang Lexin's thigh, and said in a low voice: "Give me the glasses, and then shut up!" ”
Wang Lexin gave Hao Huan a pair of 3D glasses, and didn't dare to speak anymore, because more and more viewers nearby found the right place to sit over.
It didn't take long for this No. 5 theater to be full!
A real pack-out!
There wasn't even a single empty seat!
Wang Lexin stood up and looked around, and the little face that took off the mask and put on 3D glasses in advance to camouflage was stunned!
"Boss."
She leaned her small mouth to Hao Huan's ear, like a thief, and whispered: "It's full!" Not a single empty seat! ”
Hao Huan looked at her and said word by word: "Shut up!" Mouth! ”
"Oh......"
Wang Lexin sat down boredly, simply held the popcorn and ate it, she ate two of them, handed them to Hao Huan, saw that Hao Huan's mask had not been taken off, and she had no intention of eating, and then took it back and chewed it slowly, so she didn't care about Hao Huan!
After 3 minutes.
The lights in the theater went out, and Hao Huan took off his mask so as not to be recognized, which would affect the viewing experience at that time.
On the big screen, several movie commercials began to appear, including the advertising video of "Lost Delta".
Subsequently, the movie began to play.
Hao Huan put on 3D glasses, I have to say that the visual effects of 3D movies are really cool, just the company icon that appeared at the beginning looks like it suddenly comes out of the screen and can be touched by reaching out.
The sense of picture is very strong, and the visual effects are particularly realistic!
The movie started playing, and the heroine played by Song Jiayi hugged her son with dull eyes, sobbing and saying to her son that he had just had a nightmare, which made him see something that didn't actually exist, and made him close his eyes and think about something beautiful.
The beginning of this movie made the audience a little confused, because it was too abrupt, they didn't know what was going on before, why did Song Jiayi hold her son and cry?
Then, what made the audience even more confused was that after the picture switched, Song Jiayi, who was still crying and comforting her son in front, suddenly became a scene wearing a dress and happily collecting clothes outside.
In the air, a bird flew by, chirping, Song Jiayi looked up, put away her clothes and went back.
On the way, she passed a small pool where her son usually learned to swim, and there was a yacht toy upside down on the water, and she picked it up a little impatiently and shook the water and walked home.
Later, the close-up of the picture is a scene of a child scribbling with a paint pen.
After finishing, Song Jiayi knelt on the ground with a towel and wiped the paint that had fallen to the ground, and her face and temper had become a little irritable.
The doorbell rings.
She stood up, and the paint on her hands accidentally stained her dress, so much so that she cursed in a bad temper.
These foreshadowing shots, the audience is a little confused!
Someone even said, "How do you feel like the editing is messy?" The first few switching plots at the beginning of the plot are not right for the horse's mouth! ”
"Shhh, this is just the beginning, let's watch it first, the plot hasn't started yet, the previous plots are considered to be editing failures."
……
Fail?
Listening to these two words, Hao Huan smiled without leaving a trace, and when you read on, you will know that the first few plots are the most important part of the topic, and it is the place that makes people think about it carefully!
These short shuttle shots, on the surface, each of them seems to be a bull's head, but in fact, each of them hides at least one detail that makes people think about it and finally realize it.
And this is the most shocking, suspenseful, and brain-burning part of this movie!
Song Jiayi listened to the doorbell to open the door, but found that there was no one, and asked a neighbor uncle outside if someone had knocked on the door just now, but the other party said no.
So Song Jiayi walked back suspiciously, and then the picture switched again, becoming Song Jiayi in a sweater, stuffing a big bag of heavy things into the car, and then the picture switched back to the house, she grabbed her son's shoulder, squatted down and said to her son who was crying: "Don't cry, I've cleaned up, everything is exactly the same as before!" See, see? ”
Immediately after that, the camera is switched, and the background picture changes to the sea, and there is a seagull flying in the sky, which is combined with the 3D picture sense, as if flying in front of the audience's eyes.
But at this time, the audience who complained before couldn't help but complain: "It's been three or four minutes, how to play it is an intermittent and incoherent plot!" ”
"I'm also convinced, compared to "Infernal Affairs" at the beginning, it's a far difference!"
"Shhh, let's look at it again, I've bought tickets anyway, so I can't leave now, right?"
……
The anxious audience is starting to lose patience with it.
Next, there is the plot picture of Song Jiayi driving on the road and heading to the port.
At this time, for the audience, the movie is starting to get into the main topic!
Ports, yachts.
Huang Hao, Liu Yuxi and other five starring stars appeared, and the heroine Song Jiayi looked haggard and walked over alone.
Everyone went out to sea on a yacht, and the audience who complained in front finally began to watch the movie quietly.
The sea, yachts, sky, and seagulls presented in the 3D movie, with the sound effect of the sea breeze, and the sound of the yacht sailing on the sea, is simply an immersive feeling!
Then, it got dark.
The storm is coming.
At this time, the shocking special effects scenes on the promotional video are finally fully presented in front of the audience!
Intense, exciting!
The sense of déjà vu that the black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it appeared!
Immediately afterwards, everyone contacted the coast guard for help, but received another distress signal on the way, which sounded obvious when Song Jiayi's distress voice came out, the audience looked at Song Jiayi with an incorrect expression on the yacht, and only felt goosebumps all over their bodies!
Then, when a storm hits and the yacht is swept over by the waves, this is the special effects that have been made for the longest time and the most effort in the movie!
The whole process, the audience watched with bated breath.
The theater was so quiet that only the sound of the movie came out, and the sound of Wang Lexin eating popcorn.
However, except for the special effects of the storm, which made the audience addicted, this movie that played for nearly 20 minutes, they didn't get it cool at all!
What is this?
Of the 103-minute movie, one-fifth of the way has passed, and only the special effects of the storm look very comfortable, but the rest of the place feels very dull and boring!
However, when the cruise ship purchased by Hao Huan for 5.2 billion appeared, and everyone boarded the cruise ship, the tense and exciting plot gradually began to appear!
The cruise ship, which obviously heard movement but didn't even have a person, inexplicably made the audience nervous!
When Song Jiayi said that she seemed to have been here, when they picked up a bunch of keys, Song Jiayi said that it was her key, a pocket watch on it and a photo of her son, the careful audience suddenly remembered that it was Song Jiayi's distress voice from the yacht in front of them!
So, they began to realize that this movie doesn't seem to be simple!
