Chapter 217 Advance Box Office Record, 140 million
"Hurricane Rescue 3" is about to be released, Liu Yifei, as one of the heroines, naturally participated in many promotional activities and was interviewed by many reporters.
"First of all, of course, it is very reluctant, this series is the first film I shoot, and it is also the first film script written by Li Mu, it is the first time he is an assistant director, an action director, the first time he cooperates with Uncle Long, and the first time he successfully puts the story in his mind on the big screen, and it is the first time for the two of us to get in touch, this series of films is very important to both of us, and now that this series is coming to an end, of course he and I will be very reluctant."
"At the same time, I feel a little relaxed, Li Mu once told me that he was the most passionate and emotional when he wrote "Hurricane Rescue 1", and when he conceived "Hurricane Rescue 2", he felt more pressure, because the protagonist's personality, family, and experience have been determined, and the difficulty of writing has increased exponentially."
"Hurricane Rescue 3 was the hardest to conceive, he wanted to give the series a perfect end, but it was actually very difficult, and the finale may be the most mediocre of the trilogy, but he did his best. When the film is officially released, a stone in his heart will also fall, and his mood should be much lighter than before. ”
Now the reporters can't be rectified, how can the leading actor talk like this when he is interviewed? Is this because I am afraid that my movie will be high at the box office?
"But no, aren't you afraid that saying this will affect the box office of the film?"
Liu Yifei: "The box office may indeed be inferior to the previous work, he and I are mentally prepared for this, but please believe me, in his mind, the box office is never the most important, yes, the box office is very important, but it is still not the most important." ”
"Okay, thank you."
……
Normally, these words should not be said during the promotion of the movie, let alone the leading actor of the movie, because it is almost equivalent to the leading actor publicly declaring that the series of films is worse than the other during the promotion period of the film.
Even if the quality of the film is really not good, but you, as the starring actor of the film, were invited by the film producer at a great price, and you said that the quality of the film is not as good as the previous ones during the promotion period of the film, which is very unethical.
But Liu Yifei is different, because people all over the country know that she is Li Mu's girlfriend, and Li Mu is the producer of the film, so many people will instinctively think that these words are actually what Li Mu wants to say to audiences across the country.
And that's exactly what happened.
In fact, "Hurricane Rescue 2" is not as good as "Hurricane Rescue 1", which is almost the consensus of the whole network, and the audience who has watched it naturally has their own judgment.
And "Hurricane Rescue 3" is not as good as "Hurricane Rescue 2", which has been proven in the previous life, although the specific details of Li Mu's version have been improved, as long as the large structure of the film remains unchanged, then even if it is changed, the final improvement will be limited.
Since you know that "Hurricane Rescue 3" is not as good as "Hurricane Rescue 2", why do you insist on saying that 3 to 2 or even 1 is better when the film is promoted?
Li Mu felt quite boring, fortunately, to tell the truth, if you lose a little box office, you will lose a little bit, he has a lot of films that have exploded around the world, and what happens if the box office is not ideal once in a while? !
Fortunately, he himself is the investor of the film, and he and Liu Yifei are not guilty of taboos and bad rules when they say this.
The scope of Liu Yifei's interview is actually very wide, because it involves Liu Yifei's first film, Li Mu's first film who has grown into an international director, the end of Li Mu's first series of movies after his debut, and the first acquaintance of Li Mu and Liu Yifei, and finally unexpectedly admitted the quality decline of "Hurricane Rescue 3".
A conversation involved so many explosive points, and Liu Yifei's pink halterneck dress was so beautiful, so the interview naturally exploded.
In Tieba, in forums, on Weibo, there are discussions related to it everywhere.
"Is the Hurricane Rescue series coming to an end? That must be seen! If nothing else, just because this is the starting point of Director Li Mu's rise! ”
"These two are too upright, aren't they? How can anyone say that their film may not be good before the movie is released? Doesn't this drive the audience out? "Hurricane Rescue 2" is indeed not as cool as "Hurricane Rescue 1", but it is definitely above the level, right? The big framework of the story is Li Muding, that is, how bad can it be? Friends must go and see it! ”
"What do you mean? Is the 9.9 movie ticket of Maoyan Group a compensation for the lack of amazing quality of the film? I said that I deserve to make Li Mucheng the third best director in the world! ”
"Oh my God, you're too down-to-earth, aren't you? So cute! ”
"Sincerity is always nirvana, Geng Zhi is a hundred times stronger than a dead duck's mouth and hard annoyance and shame, that's right, I didn't map any director surnamed Chen."
"Wowha, I just grabbed a 9.9 movie ticket."
……
"Hurricane Rescue 3" is to sell tickets in advance from July 1st, and in the past, movies were sold a week in advance, because movie theaters usually schedule the release time disclosed by the film, and it takes a lot of manpower for the filmmakers to be scheduled in advance.
This time, the group and Maoyan launched a 15-day pre-sale period, setting a record for the longest pre-sale in advance, opening a precedent for theaters to schedule films in advance.
The original plan was to invest 30 million yuan in publicity and distribution expenses for large-scale ticket compensation, and then increased to 40 million yuan, and for a time 9.9 yuan movie tickets and 19.9 yuan movie tickets instantly detonated the entire Chinese Internet.
In addition, Liu Yifei's interview actually did not dissuade the audience, but won the favor of a large number of netizens.
Everyone understands that "Hurricane Rescue 3" is most likely inferior to "Hurricane Rescue 1", but so what? Even if Liu Yifei didn't say it himself, everyone knew that there was a high probability that it would be this result, but now that Liu Yifei said it himself, the audience felt that they should really go to the theater to watch it.
Because what Liu Yifei said is right, this movie is very interesting.
The first film of international director Li Mu, Liu Yifei's first film, Li Mu and Liu Yifei's acquaintance film, and the finale of the series of films!
That's all you should have walked into the theater, not to mention that this movie has issued a lot of 9.9 and 19.9 movie tickets?
In the end, the film achieved an unprecedented 140 million yuan in advance box office in just two weeks, setting a record for the highest box office of an unreleased but profitable film.
As soon as the news release came out, almost the entire Chinese entertainment industry was dumbfounded.
"What do you mean? What's the situation?! Is this cat's eye real-time box office accurate? ”
"The film hasn't been officially released yet, and the pre-sale box office is already 140 million? , huh?! ”
"I remember that Liu Yifei seemed to say in an interview before that "Hurricane Rescue 3" may be a mediocre series, right? It seems that Liu Yifei still said that the box office of this movie may not be as good as its predecessor? This is what she said that the box office may not be as good as the previous work? ”
"Unprecedented! The pre-sale box office exceeded 100 million! ”
In the past two days, President Wang Zhonglei of Huayi and others have also been discussing this movie, and finally everyone has reached a consensus, that is, whether Liu Yifei's interview is her own meaning or Li Mu's meaning, it will definitely affect the box office of the film.
Because about one-third of the audience is blindly watching movies, many viewers can't afford to flicker and hype.
The quality of the film is obviously not good, but as long as the Internet or people around him say that it is good, then he or she may enter the theater because of this, but now that the film company itself is saying that the quality of the film may not be as good as the previous ones, how do you let other audiences maintain confidence in you and your film?
At that time, Wang Zhonglei and others also commented that although Li Mu was powerful, he was still too young after all.
But who would have thought?
Good guys, 140 million advance ticket office? Breaking records?
This is what the two of you are talking about, the box office may not be as good as the previous ones?
This is what the two of you are talking about, and you are mentally prepared for the unsatisfactory results of the film?
That's how you two prepared for this?
Thank you for the tip from "Book Friends 20220717165904851".
