Chapter 260: The Consequences of Standing in Line
Many people suddenly discovered that two days after its release, the number of films scheduled for "Wushuang" is gradually rising.
Originally, it was only some of the small cinema chains, and then several large cinema chains also began to increase the number of films.
By the evening of the second day, basically all the theaters had more than fifteen films in the number of "Wushuang".
Of course, although the reputation of "The Demon Record of the Great Song Dynasty" is not good, the number of films still dominates, almost all of them are above 30.
And the advantages brought to it are also very obvious, and the next day it still won a single-day box office of 150 million.
Of course, the box office performance of "Wushuang" has also become better with the increase in the number of films.
The next day, it won more than 60 million at the box office.
This almost doubled growth, which can indeed greatly strengthen the confidence of the theater chain in this movie.
So if nothing else, the follow-up "Wushuang" will gradually increase the number of films.
At the same time, there are more and more people discussing the plot of "Mushuang" on the Internet.
This movie is not as flat and straightforward as "The Demon Record of the Great Song Dynasty", so that people don't have any memory points after watching it.
The various small details in "Wushuang" make people feel extremely scary to think about it in retrospect.
And one thing that many people actually think after watching the movie, the painter is a fictional person created by Li Wen, and he himself is the painter.
So what is true and what is false in the story he is talking about?
Or what is the real story of the painter in the virtual and the real?
"The three generations of fakes are actually Li Wen, and the general's feud is also himself."
"Li Wen's fictional painter is himself, but he has stripped away his evil side."
"In fact, it can be seen from a lot of the content in it that Li Wen himself is also very contradictory, and the painter is another self in Li Wen's heart."
......
For a movie, what is not afraid of being scolded by someone is actually what is most afraid of being discussed, but what is most afraid is that no one will discuss it, which means that there is really no heat at all.
Of course, in fact, the result that most directors are looking forward to is that, like the current "Wushuang", many people take the initiative to discuss the plot itself.
After watching the movie, the average audience has such a good discussion environment that is also more friendly to them.
In stark contrast, on the side of "Da Song Fu Demon Record", several fans of the leading actors are tearing with the so-called "black fans".
Some people scolded this movie for being useless, and naturally the actors in it will be implicated.
Although it is indeed inevitable, it will only make a mess in the end.
Time has entered the third day of the release of "Wushuang" and "The Demon Record of the Great Song Dynasty".
And the performance of the two movies has completely begun to be reversed.
Although the number of films scheduled by "The Demon Record of the Great Song Dynasty" has not decreased too much, the box office has been directly cut in half compared with the previous two days.
This time, it didn't even reach a single-day box office of 100 million, only more than 70 million box office.
It seems that the influence of word-of-mouth is gradually fermenting, and the score on Petal's online network has completely dropped the passing line of 6 points.
Many self-media on the Internet have made on-the-go complaining videos, which have indeed affected a lot of ordinary audiences.
And after the number of films in "Wushuang" was mentioned above 20, it directly surpassed the other party, and got a single-day box office of 110 million on the third day.
Such box office results are indeed beyond the imagination of many people.
No one thought that "Wushuang", which relied on word-of-mouth counterattack, would have exceeded 100 million at the box office in just three days after its release.
also defeated the previously favored "Da Song Fu Demon Record" and became the single-day box office champion.
On the fourth day of the release of the two movies, the box office of "Wushuang" soared again, getting a single-day box office result of 160 million, and still continues to occupy the position of single-day box office champion.
At this time, the box office performance of "The Demon Record of the Great Song Dynasty" has dropped to more than 40 million.
It is clear that there is a lack of stamina.
The official of "Da Song Fu Demon Record" is also very anxious, after all, if it continues like this, it will become more and more difficult for the movie to recover its original cost.
More than 300 million yuan has been invested, and if you want to recover the cost, more than 900 million can be realized.
At present, relying on the box office of the first two days and the popularity of the pre-sale, the accumulated box office has reached more than 400 million.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Originally, under such a situation, even if it was not really a big sale, it was possible to recover the cost.
It's a pity that this wish has now been completely shattered by "Wushuang".
If there is no existence of "Wushuang", with the quality of the movie in the summer file, even if there are many bad reviews, but the audience who has no other choice, will still go back to watch this big-investment "The Demon Record of the Great Song Dynasty".
But now, "Wushuang", which was released at the same time, directly grabbed most of the popularity and box office.
Day 5, Day 6, Day 7.
Within a week of its release, the situation had basically stabilized.
"Wushuang" came from behind, leading the summer file with a box office of more than 700 million.
Of course, although "The Demon Record of the Great Song Dynasty" has a bad reputation, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and some other summer films are still inferior.
got a box office of more than 500 million in one week, ranking second.
Of course, in fact, more than half of the box office was won in the first two days of the premiere.
If you want to sell another 400 million yuan in the future, it is estimated that it will not be so easy.
As for "Wushuang", although there are signs of lack of follow-up after a week, it is very simple for the final box office to break one billion.
In addition, the amount of investment is not so large, and the first movie produced by Tongji Entertainment this time can already be described as a great success.
......
"It's basically a foregone conclusion."
"It's impossible for smallpox to turn the tables around."
Phoenix Entertainment, Li Bokai looked at the box office data of the first week and gave his own judgment.
Li Borui also nodded.
I was even more relieved.
Fortunately, this time, Phoenix Entertainment's movies that have no investment will be released at the same time.
Otherwise, they will probably overturn this time.
This Xu Ji is indeed very evil, relying on word-of-mouth to turn the tables, and such a low amount of rehearsals can still counterattack.
Li Borui actually didn't want to go to the thankless point of targeting Tongji Entertainment and Xu Ji in his heart, but because of Li Bokai, he didn't say it.
"These theaters don't talk much, they obviously received benefits, but they still raised the number of films in "Wushuang" later."
Li Borui could only pretend to be angry, and then complained.
Li Bokai was not very angry when he heard it.
"Actually, it's normal."
"All aspects of the performance of "Wushuang" are visible to the naked eye, and they can't be rich and not earn, right?"
"In fact, the previous promise of lowering the number of films is only when it is released, and it is impossible for the theater chain to easily promise subsequent changes."
......
Rongcheng, Xu Ji has not been idle this week.
Although "Wushuang" was released, his work seems to be done.
But for the sake of film promotion, Xu Ji ran to a lot of cities in a week, and was running around for the roadshow of "Wushuang".
Along with Xu Ji, there are also Wan Rongli and actor Wei Yifa.
Wei Yifa is very dedicated, from the filming of the movie to the publicity after the release, he seems to be doing his best.
And there are no complaints, and he is never picky about all aspects of the conditions.
Of course, Xu Ji also knew that Wei Yifa did this for a reason.
The other party has its own company in Port City, and the scale is not small.
However, it has not been able to enter the mainland market, and after this cooperation with Xu Ji, the future exchanges between the two sides will definitely become closer and closer.
Xu Ji didn't mind helping out.
Let You Man go and connect with the people from Wei Yifa's company.
In the future, if there are suitable roles in the dramas produced by their company, they can consider the artists of Wei Yifa's company.
Wei Yifa reciprocated the favor and promised Xu Ji that if there was a need in the future, he would still agree to continue to participate in the film directed by Xu Ji.
Of course, in terms of salary, it is naturally the same as this time, which is the so-called "friendship price".
"It's too tiring for a week of roadshows."
Where Xu Ji and Sha Yetong lived, Xu Ji collapsed on the sofa and complained.
Sha Yetong responded with a smile: "I feel that making your propaganda more tiring than making movies without rest." ”
Although it is a roadshow, except for the time that is a little tighter, in fact, Xu Ji's rest time is arranged enough.
But Sha Yetong knew that Xu Ji didn't like such activities very much.
If necessary, Xu Ji will definitely be the shopkeeper and give this work to the assistant director of the crew or something.
"By the way, Sister Man said that the recording of the second phase of the masked singer will start immediately, so that you can free up time to participate."
Sha Yetong said while taking out snacks to eat.
Since the concert ended, Sha Yetong has officially entered the holiday time.
even took the time to go back to his hometown and looked at the parents of both parties for Xu Ji.
As for Xu Ji, he has only gradually become idle until now.
But I still need to participate in the competition of "The Masked Singer".
"Why don't you go for me?"
Xu Ji regretted it a little at this time.
promised Mo Jianwen and Wang Jiangyu to participate in the show, but now it is equivalent to finding something to do for himself.
I finally took a break to the soup.
"It's beautiful."
"I sang too much during the concert, and I just want to rest now."
Hearing Sha Yetong's words, Xu Ji also sighed a little helplessly.
Of course, he knew that even if he was masked, the other party was unlikely to replace him.
The most important thing is that after the first episode of "The Masked Singer" was broadcast, the program was very popular, and it was no longer the previous show that I didn't know if it could be popular.
According to You Man, after the first episode was broadcast, I don't know how many singers signed up to participate in the second episode.
It's a pity that there is only one spare position, and if Xu Ji really withdraws, there will definitely be a bunch of people vying for this place.
Of course, it is obviously impossible for the program team to agree.
After all, Xu Ji is the trump card they prepared.
Even You Man thinks that Xu Ji's participation in this "Masked Singer" is very good, the popularity is enough, and when the time comes to unveil his face, relying on his identity as a singer, Xu Ji's popularity is estimated to be able to usher in a new peak again.
"But if you don't go, the fans will be disappointed, right?"
"Look at your faceless person's Weite account, there are already more than 500,000 fans."
Sha Yetong took out his mobile phone and showed it to Xu Ji.
Xu Ji didn't know that there would be such a micro-special.
It seems to be requested by the program team, and it is necessary to cooperate with the program team to carry out various publicity work.
The Weite account is not here in Xu Ji, it is You Man who asked people to help manage it.
......
At the same time that Xu Ji went to Hangzhou to participate in the recording of the second phase of "The Masked Singer", Tongji Entertainment also ushered in another major event.
Because of the release of "Wushuang" during this time, You Man's attention was focused on the movie.
At the beginning, all kinds of difficulties made her even think that Xu Ji's first movie was going to lose money.
Unexpectedly, in just one week, "Wushuang" turned the tables against the wind, and now it seems that it is about to lock the box office champion of the summer file.
At this time, after this period of methodical post-production, the two dramas "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "Chess Soul" have also entered the final stage.
It's almost certain that it will be ready for review in the next few days.
This news didn't really feel much for You Man, but she knew that over there at Station G, Chi Jiang would definitely be very excited when he heard it.
After all, after waiting for such a long time, Station G is finally able to have a new drama online.
You Man has paid attention to the fact that the number of new dramas at Station G during this period is basically none.
The only one, which is still a small-cost online drama of several million, no one pays attention to it after it is broadcast, and in half a month, the number of broadcasts is only more than 20 million.
But what You Man didn't know was that the current situation of Station G was much more difficult than he thought.
......
"Mr. Chi, we have tried our best to communicate, but the attitude over there is resolute."
"They said they didn't want to sell us the copyright even if they compensated us for liquidated damages."
"And... And he said that he hoped we would not embarrass them. ”
……
For the assistant's words, Chi Jiang already felt accustomed to it.
During this time, the situation of their G station was really difficult.
The numbers are declining on all fronts, especially the number of renewed members is decreasing.
The number of members has dropped by more than one million in a month.
What makes Chi Jiang feel most uncomfortable is that the film and television department is obviously rich, and the budget for copyright is very sufficient.
But the show party is unwilling to sell the exclusive broadcast rights to them.
A drama with a little potential, as long as you talk about it, you will politely refuse when you hear that it is station g.
Even some of the cooperation that had been finalized before was defaulted without exception.
In fact, it's not just those dramas that can be discussed, some small companies' dramas are still very willing to cooperate with Station G.
But relatively, the quality of these dramas is a big problem, most of the dramas are shoddy, and Chi Jiang himself has no intention of introducing Station G.
It seems that the mysterious force is starting to move.
Chi Jiang knew in his heart, and at the same time smiled bitterly.
This is the consequence of his standing in line with Xu Ji and Tong Ji entertainment.
"Mr. Chi!"
"Good news!"
Chi Jiang was taken aback, only to see the assistant who had left after reporting before going and returning.
"What's the matter? Shocked. ”
Chi Jiang frowned and asked.
"There is news from Tongji Entertainment that their two new dramas have been basically completed in the later stage, and they will be able to submit them for review in a few days."
