403. Screening
On January 30, the cat and mouse movie officially opened for pre-sale.
Many fans who had been waiting for a long time lined up at the entrance of the cinema, however, the tickets for the two shows from 1 to 5 p.m. were swept out as soon as they came out.
The original price of 40 yuan ticket has risen to 100 yuan as soon as it arrives, and after a night of fermentation, it has been speculated to a high price of 500 yuan on the Internet, and it is difficult to find a ticket.
It can be seen how much the audience is looking forward to the first big movie of Cat and Mouse.
Fans complained about scalpers, some people said that he had worked hard to queue for hours, and there were only a dozen people in front of him, but before he arrived, the tickets were sold out, and all of them were bought by one person.
Such a scene has happened in all major theaters with screening qualifications, but for the reselling of scalpers, Monkey Sky Animation is officially helpless, even if the theater stipulates that a person can only buy a maximum of four tickets, but as long as twenty or thirty scalpers, you can basically charter the venue.
Not to mention, the vast majority of these scalpers are organized, and these people can queue up at the door of the cinema every day all night in order to make money from reselling.
Obviously, the problem is that there are not enough screenings, and there are only two screenings per day during the screening, which gives scalpers too much room to play. Those audience fans who want to see the original price tickets have to wait until the Spring Festival release.
And at 0:00 a.m. on January 31.
The main creative team of Cat and Mouse held a huge premiere in a big hotel in the imperial capital, and selected 500 loyal viewers from various channels, including but not limited to various media reporters, distributors, film companies, media, film critics and other groups.
After a series of promotional and interactive sessions, everyone watched the first movie together.
Monkey Sky Animation officially prepared gifts for each audience with the surrounding gifts of the movie, and invited Monkey Sky's own wind band team to simulate the original soundtrack of the animation on the spot, while Lin Yanwan showed off a few piano songs.
It makes people sigh at the strength of the cat and mouse production team, and this series of well-planned activities brought an immersive, unforgettable and complete memory to everyone at the premiere.
After the premiere, the relevant content of the premiere also appeared on the hot search on major platforms, once again increasing the popularity of the film.
At 1 p.m. on January 31, all the screening sites across the country were full.
The official of Monkey Sky Animation even thoughtfully released the actual seating situation of each theater and each screening on the Internet, further building momentum for the popularity of the cat and mouse movie.
A full 90-minute animated movie, which is different from the usual average of six or seven minutes per episode in the animated version, Qi Tian Animation used up to an hour and a half to tell the interesting story of Tom and Jerry and a rabbit, which made the audience addicted and hilarious.
The rabbit, which symbolizes the Year of the Rabbit, plays a crucial role in this, fighting Tom's capture with Jerry, bringing the audience the ultimate comedy feast.
There is still not a single line in the whole process, but the picture quality is excellent, the dubbing and vocal music are superb, Lin Yanwan carefully prepared 12 tunes for the plot, each of which perfectly fits the specific occasion and atmosphere, making people feel like falling into a large-scale music performance.
At half past two in the afternoon, after the first screening, many people wrote down their impressions on the Internet, including a large number of professional film critics, who praised the cat and mouse movie from various aspects such as plot performance, fun, storytelling, painting style, dubbing and vocal music.
even shouted the slogan of the light of Guoman, the best domestic animated film in the past ten years, highly recommended, definitely worth the ticket price!
Looking at the praise on the Internet, word-of-mouth continues to ferment, and many people are even more itchy, and they have Aite Qitian Animation Official.
"It's all screened, and you can't open a few more shows, right?"
"Don't you make any money?"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, why don't you celebrate the New Year soon, our scalpers have already fried the price of movie tickets to 800 each, can those scalpers die!"
"I really want to watch "Cat and Mouse: Year of the Rabbit"! Woo woo, I can't afford to buy high-priced tickets, so I can only wait for the premiere to watch it again, and I will be poor by myself for another day!"
"I have a son and two daughters, I usually like to watch cats and mice the most, the screening tickets just came out, and I didn't grab them that day, so I spent 500 yuan to buy four tickets from scalpers, although the price is a little expensive, but the children like it too much, the plot, art, and music are first-class, and I suddenly feel that it is worth it!"
"500 is called Xiaogui? Brother Fu upstairs, do you still lack children in your family? I also like to watch cats and mice......
"Coordinates Rongcheng, do you want a ticket for the 3 p.m. show on February 1st? There are not a few left, and I need a private chat."
"Ahh
Jiang Xia looked at the hot search on the Internet, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. In the midst of this acclaim, although Monkey Sky Animation is secretly buying a water army to fuel the fire, it can also be seen that the reputation of the big movie has indeed exploded.
The box office of this day alone exceeded 2 million, and in three days, the box office should be around 7 million, which doesn't seem to be much, and it is not comparable to the box office of hundreds of millions of screenings in later generations.
But you must know that in this era, there are only more than 1,000 theaters in the country, and in many places there are no movie theaters, and every household is not as rich as in later generations, which leads to limited box office.
When it is released nationwide on the Spring Festival on February 3, the Year of the Rabbit of Cat and Mouse will get no less than 30% of the film schedule, and it is possible that the box office will easily exceed 30 million on the first day.
If this result is placed in previous years, it can already compete for the annual box office champion, you must know that "Let the Bullets Fly", which was just released not long ago, had a box office of only about 30 million on the first day.
Compared with the extremely low production cost of the cat and mouse movie, it can be said that Jiang Xia is simply crazy this time.
Many people on the Internet have begun to predict whether the Year of the Rabbit of Cat and Mouse will become the biggest dark horse in the film industry this year, surpassing many movies and winning the title of annual champion in one fell swoop.
And with the current trend, it is clear that it is extremely possible.
On this day, the entire film production team was overjoyed, the big movie became famous, and Monkey Sky Animation also smoothly took the first step towards the big screen.
I believe that in the future, the phrase "produced by Qitian must be a high-quality product" will also become the default of the industry.
"Gather everyone and go to the big hotel next door for dinner."
Jiang Xia gave everyone a special touch in the group, planning to take this opportunity to hold a simple celebration banquet, and send out red envelopes to reward everyone for their hard work in the past six months.
