Chapter 564: A box office hit
After the premiere, the popularity of [Wolf Warrior 2] became even higher.
The news media present praised the movie in an all-round way on the news page of the next day, and the film critics who were invited to the scene also wrote film reviews favorable to [Wolf Warrior 2] on their Weibo.
After the premiere, theaters in major cities across the country, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Shencheng and other places, also launched screening activities for [Wolf Warrior 2] one after another.
Wu Jing and Gu Wei respectively took some of the main creators, divided into two routes, and went to the target city to run a roadshow and hold a fan meeting.
Deep City.
"Theater feedback that the proportion of [Wolf Warrior 2] in the national film schedule on the first day of release tomorrow will probably reach 20%, and it will be ranked more than 50% on the second day on the 28th.
At present, there is only one [Army Building] on the market that was released at the same time as us on the 27th, but their market feedback is far less than ours, and they are not too competitive."
At the end of the roadshow, Yang Dan and Gu Wei reported the film scheduling data after the release of the movie.
The reason why the film schedule on the first day was only 20% was because Wu Jing asked [Wolf Warrior 2] to be released at 8:01 pm on the 27th, wanting to pay tribute to the August 1st Army Day.
There is only 4 hours of release time on the first day, but there is a 20% film scheduling rate throughout the day, in fact, in this short period of time at night, most of the films in cinemas across the country will be given to [Wolf Warrior 2].
"How has the feedback been on the screenings in the past few days?"
Although Douban has not yet scored, according to the feedback from the company's marketing department, the current public opinion on the Internet is basically one-sided praise.
In addition to the news media and film critics, many viewers who watched the screening posted on the Internet praising [Wolf Warrior 2]."
Gu Wei nodded.
Although with him joining, [Wolf Warrior 2] has received far more attention than the original time and space.
But after all, there are some discrepancies between the plot and the original version, and he is still a little unsure whether he can achieve the results of the original time and space.
But now it seems that everything is going in a good direction.
The quality of the movie has improved compared with the original version, but the theme has not changed, and it is more popular with everyone while arousing the audience's patriotic feelings.
"Director, where are they now?"
"Director Wu and Mr. Yu Qi and his party should go to Yuezhou today, and according to the plan, they will go to Shancheng tomorrow."
"Everything that needs to be done is done, and success or failure depends on tomorrow"
"Don't worry too much, our movie has such a good reputation and such a high popularity, it will definitely sell well!"
Zhang Tianai's face was gentle, she ran a roadshow with Gu Wei's publicity team, and in the past few days, it has also been seen that Gu Wei is worried about the future achievements of the movie.
Gu Wei has shot so many blockbuster movies, and he has always been full of confidence, and he has not suffered from gains and losses like now.
"I know we're going to make it." Gu Wei turned his head and gave Zhang Tianai a reassuring smile.
No one knows what he's worried about at this time.
If this version of [Wolf Warrior 2] can have a final box office of 2 billion or 3 billion, then everyone will think that this movie is a big hit.
Only Gu Wei himself knows that if the final box office can't exceed 5 billion, it is that he is dragging his feet.
After all, the results of the original space-time [Wolf Warrior 2] are too high, and they have almost reached the box office limit of a single film in the domestic film market.
Gu Wei never thought that his joining would make the box office go to the next level.
It's not that he is not confident, the scale of the domestic film market is so large, and the number of people watching the movie is so large, even if he has strong box office appeal, it is impossible for him to conjure more audiences out of thin air.
In the past, the original version of the films he made had a box office potential of 1 billion, and he is confident that he can rely on his appeal to increase the box office by 500 million or even more, because the market has potential, and Gu Wei's personal reputation has been established in so many years of continuous success.
It can call on more audiences to enter the cinema, thereby increasing the box office performance of the film.
However, the box office results of [Wolf Warrior 2] in the original time and space are too high, and almost all the audiences who can watch it have seen it, and many of them are even 2 or even 3 brushes.
No matter how famous Gu Wei is, it can only make the box office data in the early stage of the movie's release better, and he himself is not confident that he can make the final box office results go to the next level
But he couldn't tell anyone about it.
Now if you say that the target box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] is 5 billion, then everyone will think that he is talking about it, even if director Wu Jing's current expectations for the box office of the movie may only be more than 1 billion.
Time flew by, and soon came to the 27th.
At 8:01 p.m., theaters across the country released [Wolf Warrior 2] on time.
Beijing Wanda Cinema.
"Hurry up, I finally grabbed the ticket online!"
"If you want me to say that you are idle, if you don't buy it now, you can watch it in a few days, it's just a movie"
"What do you know, this is Gu Wei's first action military movie, and the comments on the Internet have a super high reputation!"
"It doesn't matter if those little girls like Gu Wei, how can you chase stars as a man?"
"What kind of star chasing, I just like Gu Wei's film and television dramas, the movies he made have never disappointed me, watching movies for his name is definitely not a loss, it is definitely not a bad movie, at least it is worth the ticket price"
At 8:01, several halls of the cinema screened [Wolf Warrior 2] at the same time, and now there are 15 minutes left, and there is already a long queue outside the theater.
At the sales window, the staff who sell drink popcorn are also busy all the time.
began to check in the tickets, and this wave of spectators entered the venue one after another, and the flow of people in the hall instantly decreased a lot.
"It's only Thursday today, why are there so many people!" Serving drinks and popcorn to the last customer, the uniformed guy breathed a sigh of relief.
"What else can it be, [Wolf Warrior 2] will be released.
Gu Wei's film is not like this." The colleague next to him replied.
"There are so many people, a few movies tonight are full, right?"
"Well, the attendance is almost 100 percent.
Tomorrow is Friday, and then there are Saturdays and Sundays, and we are busy these days."
28th, hotel room.
The ringing of the cell phone wakes the sleeping person.
"Well, I know, today will continue as originally planned, and I'll discuss it with Director Wu when I go back and see if I want to extend the trip."
Gu Wei hung up the phone, threw the phone aside, and waved his hand vigorously, the excitement in his heart could not be concealed.
Then he lowered his head and kissed Zhang Tianai's pink and fair face.
"What's the matter, early in the morning"
Zhang Tianai, who was still asleep, was woken up by Gu Wei's big movements, his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered a little dissatisfied.
"The box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] exceeded 100 million in the first 4 hours on the first day, reaching 146 million yuan, and the current real-time box office has exceeded 200 million, which is less than 12 hours."
"Really?
Our film is going to be a big hit! β
Zhang Tianai was originally dazed and sleepy-eyed, but when he heard Gu Wei's words, he immediately became energetic.
She has been making movies all these years and knows very well what this data represents.
In 2016, the box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", which sold 2 billion at the box office, was only 190 million yuan on the first day.
[Wolf Warrior 2] broke 200 million at the box office in 12 hours, as long as the word of mouth does not collapse, it is entirely possible that the final result will surpass [The Richest Man in Xihong City].
"Big sales are certain, it depends on how far you can go."
"This result is a little better than your [Tang Detective 2] last summer, right?" Zhang Tianai suddenly asked curiously.
"Indeed, the results are better than the beginning of [Tang Detective 2]."
"Could it be that the box office of our [Wolf Warrior 2] can exceed 3 billion?" Zhang Tianai was a little incredulous.
At present, there are only two movies in China with a box office of more than 3 billion, [Tang Detective 2] and [Mermaid].
If the box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] exceeds 3 billion, it can also become the third place in the domestic movie box office list at the very least.
"Hehe~ More than 3 billion is no problem, but you might as well be bolder."
Zhang Tianai listened to his words and thought about it, then shook his head.
"The box office of 3 billion is already astronomical for me, and I really dare not think of it no matter how high."
Gu Wei smiled, turned around and pressed Zhang Tianai under him.
Woo. Early in the morning, don't get up, don't delay today's trip"
"I just looked at the time, and I had time~
How can such good news not be celebrated."

The summer file was completely taken by [Wolf Warrior 2].
After entering the working day, the performance of [Wolf Warrior 2] is still strong, rising at a shocking rate of more than 250 million per day on Monday and Tuesday.
The box office is like a bamboo, coupled with the help of good word of mouth, so that the film schedule of [Wolf Warrior 2] has been in a reverse growth trend for 5 consecutive days, and it is now close to 60%.
The high-ranking films have further increased the box office of the film, achieving a positive cycle.
[Wolf Warrior 2] can have such a dazzling performance, which is inseparable from the super high reputation and the support of the audience.
More than 740,000 viewers scored on Maoyan, and [Wolf Warrior 2] topped the list of Chinese movies with a high score of 9.7, "burning", "shocking", "proud", and "super blockbuster" have all become "high-frequency words" when the audience talks about [Wolf Warrior 2].
Many viewers even praised [Wolf Warrior 2] as "a super blockbuster with explosive hormones".
The exciting and intense fighting scenes in [Wolf Warrior 2] were also well received by the audience, and the audience said that "the underwater fight is too exciting, and I dare not breathe with nervousness", "The tank drift is very handsome, and it is not cool".
A week after its release, the audience of [Wolf Warrior 2] has covered all ages and social groups, and the audience unanimously spoke highly of the movie, and the lines such as "There is a strong motherland behind you" on the passport page at the end of the film have aroused a national Amway craze.
[It's exploded!] The plot is fast-paced and compact, and the whole process is very refreshing, but it is also very tense to watch, and the villain in it says that if he kills, he will kill.
Gu Wei and Wu Jing acted so excitingly, this is what a domestic action blockbuster should look like! γ
[The style is a bit similar to Gu Wei's previous "Operation Mekong", but the scenes are grander and the fights are more intense, Wu Jing is very suitable for playing a soldier, and Gu Wei's action scenes are simply handsome! γ
[It's burning! The scenes of the war are magnificent, and the fights between people are wonderful! It makes people's blood boil and fight for their compatriots! γ
[Sure enough, Gu Wei has never disappointed me, and the quality of his participation in "Wolf Warrior 2" is obviously much higher than that of the first part.
The Chinese also have their own superheroes, and the whole process is explosive! γ
[The fight scenes are still very cool, talking about personal heroism, isn't this the routine of American blockbusters? ] However, the plot still has something worth scrutinizing, and some places are a bit exaggerated, but the flaws are not hidden. γ
[Perhaps, you will never know how strong your motherland gives you; Perhaps, one day, you will find that you also love your motherland deeply! γ
[A movie that judges whether it is a double standard: It has all the routines of the American main theme, and the American main theme has some specialties, it is learning hard, and there is still some distance.
But to blame its shortcomings in the methods that mainstream commercial films are used and have to use, it is a problem of double-standard values and aesthetic standards - Americans drive cars as airplanes, what happened to the Chinese shooting a tank drift? γ
[It's really burning, it's already late when I see it, and the audience is still full, it's too hot-blooded, we can be so stable because someone resists the danger for us and shelters from the cold! ] γ
γ. γ
[Wolf Warrior 2] is completely on fire, on August 1, Army Day, Zhu Rihe and the big military parade.
The RM daily publishes news stories about the film on the main page.
#ζηΌδΈεΊθ°δΈδΊι, raise the prestige of our army to defend the country! #
said, "Like Zhu Rihe and the military parade, [Wolf Warrior 2] also inspired a strong resonance among domestic audiences with its strong attitude, heroic blood, and patriotic enthusiasm!" β
After the official media made a statement, major domestic media also reported on the movie, and for a while, online and offline were full of discussions about [Wolf Warrior 2].
"Brother Jing, I have to go back to the crew, this trip out there has been a lot of delay, and I really can't explain if I don't go back to the director."
At the end of the national roadshow, the main creators met in Beijing, and at this time, the box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] has exceeded 2 billion, and it is still soaring at a rate of at least 200 million box office per day.
Wu Jing has been in a state of excitement these days, and after watching the real-time box office every day, he has to confirm with the people around him again and again, [Wolf Warrior 2] brought him too much surprise, and it feels like an ordinary person buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot during the period, which makes people wonder if he is dreaming.
After returning to the capital, Wu Jing proposed to take advantage of the popularity of the movie to continue to arrange fan meetings in large and medium-sized cities across the country, strike while the iron is hot, and help the box office reach a higher level.
Gu Wei has no opinion, it's just that the [Wandering Earth] side can't say anything if he doesn't go back.
"It's okay, I know your crew still has scenes to film, so leave it to me later.
Wait for the crew to talk to Director Guo, and when I finish this section, I will enter the group to shoot."
At present, [Wolf Warrior 2] has formed a movie-watching craze, and has been widely discussed by the public as a social hot event.
Many professionals in the circle have raised the final box office estimate of [Wolf Warrior 2] to 3.5 billion yuan at this time, and some people believe that [Wolf Warrior 2] may surpass [Tang Detective 2] to become the new box office champion.
Medium Shadow.
"Gu Wei, this young man can really surprise people, where do you expect the box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] to land?"
Lapeikang looked at the various real-time data about [Wolf Warrior 2] brought up by his subordinates, and asked the old subordinates in front of him with a smile.
Although China Film didn't invest much money, after all, he joined in at the invitation of Gu Wei, and Mr. La is also one of the producers of [Wolf Warrior 2], this kind of blockbuster with the main theme of selling is the best political achievement for him.
As for how much money he makes, he doesn't care.
"According to the current trend, the forecast given by the professionals in the group is 4.5 billion."
"So high?
I've seen a lot of news that it's good to get to 4 billion."
Xu Jianhai, the person in charge of China Film Jingcheng Film Production Branch and also the producer of [The Wandering Earth], smiled.
"In fact, according to the box office trend of normal movies, it is almost 3.5 billion, and the key [Wolf Warrior 2] is obviously abnormal.
This movie has broken the circle.
According to the current movie-watching data, regardless of men, women and children, groups of all social strata, even people who usually do not have the habit of watching movies are driven into the theater by public opinion.
This is also the reason why [Wolf Warrior 2] is now so fierce at the box office."
"If the box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] can break 4.5 billion, then China Film owes Gu Wei a favor.
After all, we didn't do anything, and after the movie was finished, Gu Wei gave us a chance to share the cake.
Money is still secondary, mainly because this result is what China Film needs"
"Huh.
We have always cooperated happily with [Wei Mingxia], and the Han family girl is also with him.
Her campus movie also has a good reputation and box office.
Last month, Han Lao was very happy for a while."
"Haha.
At his age, there is nothing more joyful than seeing his children prosper
How was the filming over there? β
Mr. La remembered the sci-fi blockbuster with a huge investment in cooperation with [Wei Mingxia] again, and now that [Wolf Warrior 2] is a big hit, he is even more looking forward to the [Wandering Earth] that Gu Wei and Wu Jing will cooperate with again.
"The shooting is normal, but it is more difficult, some time ago Wu Mengda was admitted to the hospital because of his old age and poor health.
But Guo Fan has already taken care of it, and he promised me that nothing like this will happen again in the future. β
La Peikang frowned.
"Although the movie is important, talent is fundamental, and I have to emphasize some with Guo Fan."
"That's what the leader said
In addition to the filming of the crew, many film and television companies in the industry have recently contacted us, hoping to invest in [The Wandering Earth]."
"Haha~
They thought very well, they couldn't watch domestic sci-fi films, but now they want to come in and eat meat because the cooperation between Gu Wei and Wu Jing is so good, how can it be so easy?
What do you say over there? β
Gu Wei's opinion is that no matter who it is, refuse it first, and wait until the film is finished to decide whether to add producers.
He doesn't care about money, he mainly looks at what other companies can provide."
"That's it for now.
It's a pity that when [The Great Cause of the Army] invited Gu Wei, he didn't come, otherwise it wouldn't have been a box office of only 300 million now, and it wouldn't be a fraction of [Wolf Warrior 2]."
Xu Jianhai opened his mouth and still didn't say anything.
[The Great Cause of the Army], which was released on the same day as [Wolf Warrior 2], has no wash, the actor has zero salary, but the investment is as high as 200 million, almost the same as [Wolf Warrior 2], but the box office is currently only more than 300 million, and according to the current trend, breaking 400 million is almost the limit.
This main theme blockbuster jointly funded by China Film, Bona and the Gan Provincial Government can be regarded as a loss.
Bona Film and Television.
Yu Dong was in pain and happy at this time, the [Great Cause of Army Building] was lost, but [Wolf Warrior 2] was earned, although it was not much, but the reputation was not small.
"It's a pity that [Red Sea Operation] Gu Wei didn't come, otherwise it would be very likely to replicate the miracle of [Wolf Warrior 2].
After all, we have the foundation of [Operation Mekong], and Director Lin's second cooperation with Gu Wei will definitely set off a new movie-watching frenzy."
"There's no way, Gu Wei doesn't have time, and [Operation Red Sea] is indeed a bit biased towards group cooperation, and there is less individual heroism, and Gu Wei may also have concerns about this."
Lin Chaoxian looked at the current crazy box office results of [Wolf Warrior 2] and was also very emotional, and regretted that he couldn't invite Gu Wei in the first place.
"You can change the script, didn't you just do it at the beginning of [Operation Mekong], everyone has seen the effect."
"Forget it, the film is all filmed, it's useless to say this, at least Zhang Tianai is very popular now, and it can also be used as a selling point when [Operation Red Sea] is released in the future."
Yu Dong nodded.
"If you have time, you have to find Gu Wei out for a meal again, this time it won't work, there will be next time, he is also a shareholder of Bona now, everyone is a family, and it is always right to cooperate to make money."
