Chapter 155: Amazing first-day box office

Zhao Po swiped his mobile phone for a while, and the movie officially began to be screened.

At the beginning of the film, four big characters of Xingdong Entertainment appeared, accompanied by its icon, a panda.

Only then did he remember that although "Eucalyptus in Chinatown" was Song Yu's second film, it was the first movie produced by Xingdong Entertainment.

This is undoubtedly very monumental.

Of course, if it's a bad movie, it's black history.

Liu Ruoshu is a newcomer director, Song Yu is a newcomer screenwriter, and Qin Jun is a newcomer male lead, which is a rare reasoning theme.

Zhao Po feels that the probability of a bad movie is more than ninety percent.

In his opinion, mystery and suspense films are the most challenging for directors and screenwriters.

If you don't pay attention to it, you will be in the clouds, or you will be confused.

The acting skills of the actors are secondary.

After all, no matter how good the acting is, it can't save the script.

At the beginning of the movie, there was a picture of Qin Feng played by Song Yu.

He failed to be admitted to the Criminal Police Academy, and his family asked him to go to Indica to find his relative Tang Ren to play for a week.

Then it turned to Tang Ren's scene.

He sang in the bar, singing "The Past Can Only Be Recalled".

There was a bit of buzz in the cinema.

Because it's a new song.

There are small subtitles next to it to remind the audience that it was written by Song Yu.

Zhao Po casually typed a line of words on his mobile phone.

"It's smart to attract fans with a new song, but this song is a bit retro."

"The Past Can Only Be Recalled" only sang a few words, quickly cut the scene, and went directly to the scene of eucalyptus.

Together about the gold of the eucalyptus.

Zhao Po wrote down the key words again.

"Is this comedy?"

He couldn't help but shake his head when he saw some hilarious fight between Kun Tai and Huang Langden over an autopsy in the police station.

I'm so young.

Reasoning plus comedy.

Two types that are difficult to shoot want to get together?

Zhao Po wanted to shoot too much back then, which made his movie a big bad movie that no one could understand.

The next plot is that Tang Ren takes Qin Feng to play in Indica.

The personalities of the two protagonists are reflected in various ways.

"Qin Jun, a newcomer, has very good acting skills."

Zhao Po nodded secretly, "I don't know where Song Yu came from, he didn't have any fame before." ”

The role of Tang Ren is actually not very easy to play.

It must not be annoying to the audience, but also make the audience feel funny.

"The actors are well chosen, and the beginning is quite smooth, so there is no problem for the time being."

After Zhao Po wrote a comment, the plot changed abruptly.

Tang Ren's fingerprints were found on the murder weapon of the golden eucalyptus, so he and Qin Feng died in the world.

"The chase is kind of fun, tense and funny."

Zhao Po suddenly discovered that Liu Ruoshu's director skills are not bad.

The plot that followed proved this.

The first dense laughs soon appeared in the movie.

The gang trio, two police detectives, and two protagonists gather at the home of the landlord, Ah Xiang.

"It's a good way to make mistakes."

Zhao Po typed this line with a smile.

Seeing it now, he feels that at least the comedy side is okay.

After Tang Ren was wronged, he decided to find out the truth with Qin Feng.

In fact, there is a passage involving the dragon ruler.

Song Yu changed it to the dragon-seeking mantra in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which can be regarded as an easter egg.

The two protagonists broke into the police station to check the surveillance, which was another laugh.

And once again showed Qin Feng's amazing talent.

In the process of exploring, many characters appeared.

For example, the godfather of Chinatown, the little girl Snow and her adoptive father.

Zhao Po unconsciously looked in.

Two hours later, the film has almost unfolded.

Comedy and mystery combine quite well.

The acting skills of the two leading actors, Qin Jun and Song Yu, are also completely online.

One is responsible for being funny, and the other is responsible for reasoning and being handsome.

It's a perfect combination.

The plot progresses to street brawl.

Zhao Po finally understood where the 300 million cost was spent.

I have to say that this chase is quite exciting, and the scene is very large, unlike many movies, which exudes a small family atmosphere.

"It's time to unravel the mystery."

Zhao Po looked at Tang Ren's reasoning in the movie and said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's Sinuo's adoptive father." ”

It didn't take long for him to be completely slapped in the face.

Especially after Snow's laughter appeared, the movie theater resounded with bursts of exclamations.

"So the murderer is Snow?"

Zhao Po was stunned, this plot was really unexpected.

During his recuperation, an easter egg appeared in the movie, indicating the location of the next film, in Ami.

"Very ambitious."

After Zhao Po left the scene, he went to the next movie.

He originally wanted to watch Summit Entertainment's "Showdown", after all, in addition to "Chinatown Explorer", it is the most popular.

But at this time, he became interested in "People in Embarrassment".

is also a screenwriter of Song Yu, will he surprise him again?

Zhao Po bought a ticket, and there was still half an hour before the next show.

He took out his phone and began to write a film review of "Exploring Chinatown".

The title is, both a qualified comedy and a qualified mystery film.

In the article, he focused on the acting skills of the two leading actors, the unexpected plot and various dense laughs.

Halfway through writing, I entered the cinema to watch "People in Embarrassment".

This is a pure comedy.

tells the story of the two protagonists on the way home from the Spring Festival.

After Zhao Po read it, he was really shocked.

In terms of comedy alone, he feels more exciting than "Exploration of Chinatown".

Because it's definitely the best.

Qin Jun and Li Qiang, the acting skills of the two newcomers also surprised him.

Performed quite well, stronger than most movie actors.

Zhao Po originally wanted to finish watching ten movies and then write a film review, but these two movies made him unable to hold back, so he went home early to catch up with work.

At the same time, Cheng Zhi, the boss of Summit Entertainment, also walked into the cinema.

He happened to have nothing to do today, so he went to the neighborhood and bought a ticket to watch "Chinatown Detective".

This movie is the biggest competitor to "Showdown".

In addition, Song Yu had some grudges with him.

Various factors are superimposed, and Cheng Zhi plans to take a look.

Knowing who you are, you can win all battles.

But he was still quite stable in his heart.

He has watched "Showdown", which is definitely a qualified war movie.

And the cost is not high, and it is very simple to earn back.

As for the so-called 300 million cost of "Exploration of Chinatown", he doesn't believe it very much.

Even if there are 300 million, it is estimated that most of them are paid to Song Yu.

In recent years, too many movies have made money laundering.

The hall darkens, and the movie officially begins.

Cheng Zhi watched the plot while observing the audience's reactions.

Many times, audiences and film critics have completely different opinions.

And the word-of-mouth of the movie mainly depends on the audience.

"That's not good." Cheng Zhi said secretly.

From the beginning of the movie, you can hear the laughter of the audience every once in a while.

For a movie, it is undoubtedly a successful performance.

At the same time, Cheng Zhi's own feelings are not far behind.

He really thought the movie was good.

The laughter is full, the reasoning process is okay, and the fight and chasing the battlefield are not bad.

All added up, it has already shown that "Exploration of Chinatown" is not a bad movie, but a work above the standard.

No worse than Summit Entertainment's "Showdown".

Coupled with the factor of Song Yu, he may lose.

As he thought, his eyes widened.

Cheng Zhi thought that the movie was going to end, but he didn't expect a shocking reversal.

Si Nuo starring Guan Man, that smile, he was thrilled.

"It's broken!"

Cheng Zhi blurted out.

The movie ends.

"It's a really good shot."

"Brother Yu, you will never disappoint us, go, go online and match the sunspots."

"Xingdong Entertainment signed a contract with Guan Man, he is really a discerning actor, and he has a promising future."

"It's kind of interesting. The last laugh was completely unexpected to me, but it was very reasonable. ”

"I plan to watch "People in Embarrassment", which is also written by Brother Yu, so I don't think it will disappoint us."

Cheng Zhi listened to all kinds of discussions and left the hall.

With a heavy heart, he opened the Skynet movie.

At this time, the movie has been played for two rounds, and there are not a few viewers who have watched the movie.

The rating of "Exploration of Chinatown" is as high as 9.2 points.

Although it is due to the inflated height of the first day, it also proves its reputation.

Cheng Zhi went to the interface of "Duel", in fact, the score was good, 8.7 points.

It's a pity that there is a side-by-side contrast.

"Wait, how can it be third?"

Cheng Zhi noticed that there were lines of small print below the score.

[The score of this movie ranks third.] 】

"Impossible."

Cheng Zhi felt incomprehensible, and flipped through the ratings of other movies, and was stunned.

"People in Embarrassment" scored nine points.

“……?”

Cheng Zhi was silent for a few seconds, and then ran to buy a movie ticket for "People in Embarrassment".

After reading it, I was a little depressed.

He understood why it was nine, but he would rather he couldn't.

It's just an inflated score played by Song Yu's fans.

There are many people who also feel bad about him.

For example, Wang Jinquan of Longteng Entertainment.

He didn't go to the movie to avoid seeing Song Yu angry, but he had already noticed the comments on the Internet.

Zheng Sheng's "Horror Beach" was criticized as a bad movie except for the edge ball.

If everyone sucks together, he can still accept it.

But "Exploring Chinatown" and "People in Embarrassment" have become the two movies with the best reputation.

It's like vomiting blood.

Angry, Wang Jinquan already understands that these two movies may usher in a big explosion.

Song Yu, the name itself is valuable.

Fame is there, and now there is word of mouth.

It is estimated that his fans will pour out of the nest.

And that group of moviegoers will also choose these two movies.

After all, no one will be bored to watch bad movies and torture themselves.

"Why is this happening?"

Wang Jinquan collapsed on the sofa, completely incomprehensible.

The songs are well written, and the scripts are well written.

"Is there any heavenly reason?!"

Wang Jinquan shouted unwillingly.

On the other hand, after Song Yu and Zhao Yan watched "Exploration of Chinatown", they watched "People in Embarrassment" and "Showdown".

The remaining seven films were not watched again.

Because the rating is too low.

On Skynet movies, only these three have reached more than eight points.

Actually, it's normal.

Rookie directors, plus rookie teams, and the investment is not enough, it is really not easy to shoot excellent works.

And there is such a thing as film and television dramas.

Even if the famous director increases the production, there are many people who hit the street.

Song Yu's personal feeling is that "Exploration of Chinatown" and "People in Embarrassment" are not worse than the originals, and even more refined.

Although he wants to shoot at a low cost, he doesn't have to save money.

As for "Showdown", Song Yu gave it a score of seven to eight.

is a qualified war film, but because of investment problems, the scene is small and not grand enough.

plus real examples, so the plot is also relatively decent.

In general, it is not too much of a threat.

Not to mention the rest.

Early the next morning, Song Yu rushed to Xingdong Entertainment and asked people to bring yesterday's box office data.

When he opened the file, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

What caught my eye was that "Eucalyptus Chinatown" ranked first at the box office.

It currently has a box office of 50 million.

Quite amazing.

Especially under the premise that the number of films is only 10% and the schedule is average.

After two days, the cinema will definitely cut the number of other films, and when the time comes, the box office will inevitably soar.

And in second place is "Showdown", with a box office of 34 million.

followed by "People in Embarrassment", with a box office of 32 million, and the difference between the two is only 2 million, which is very close.

The quality of "Showdown" is good, and it has the reputation of an ace screenwriter, so it is normal to have this box office.

On the contrary, "People in Embarrassment" is abnormal.

Because no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of a high box office.

The fourth place is Dragon Entertainment's "Horror Beach" with a box office of 11 million.

Further down, it drops to the millions.

The last place is only a million, which is really pitiful.

In addition to the box office ranking, the source also gives another data.

Attendance.

If the number of films scheduled determines the upper limit, then the attendance rate is the guarantee of the lower limit, and it is also the reference standard for movie theaters to adjust the number of films.

However, because of the intervention of the Literary and Art Association, the number of films scheduled for these ten films is the same, so the attendance rate is particularly important.

At the top of the list is "Eucalyptus Chinatown", with an impressive attendance rate of 75%.

Don't think it's a low number, it's already quite scary.

In recent years, with the development of the economy, there are too many movie theaters.

Other than that, there is a midnight show, so it is impossible to sit full.

In the previous life, "Chinatown Detective 3", which broke one billion on the first day, only had an attendance rate of 69.7%, and it was the highest since 2015.

The second is "People in Embarrassment" and "Showdown", both of which are 60%.

On the first day, attendance was on the high side.

is similar to the Spring Festival stalls, no matter whether the movie is bad or good, the attendance rate on the first day will not be bad.

The important thing depends on the next day.

If it can still be maintained, it means that the reputation and box office of this movie will not be bad.

In the outside world, the box office of 50 million on the first day of "Exploration of Chinatown" caused quite a stir.

Before, many netizens were not optimistic about Song Yu.

But now the winds have completely shifted.

There is a strange hot search on the hot search list of viewers.

[Apologize to Song Yu for his screenwriting skills.] 】

"Brother Yu, I'm sorry, I was too young to question you before."

"Awesome! It's awesome! ”

"Idol dramas, martial arts dramas, suspense films and comedies, how can Song Yu write anything?"

"It's outrageous! It can only be said that there are really geniuses in this world! ”

Netizens apologized in various ways, and the scene seemed very joyful.

But some laugh and some cry.

At this time, Zheng Sheng, who was in Longteng Entertainment, regretted it very much.

Because Song Yu also launched a solicitation for him at the beginning, but he refused.

Now it seems that the script that tempted Liu Ruoshu and Ning Yizhou is definitely very good.

If he agreed, he should enjoy the same glory as the two of them at this time.

It's just that there is no regret medicine in the world.
