This record.

Just the beginning of brilliance.

Before the premiere, "Shocking Demon Thieves" had overwhelming publicity and marketing.

Pre-screened, word-of-mouth rush, has already created enough momentum.

This time.

Zhou Yutang also did a time-limited 19.9 yuan movie ticket special activity on the Maoyan app.

As long as you register as a Maoyan app user, you can enjoy special tickets that are much cheaper than usual.

This can attract a wave of new users for Maoyan, and for ordinary audiences, it is also a great benefit, after all, the current price of 3D movie tickets in first-tier cities is about 50~60 yuan, which is also a big expense.

The marketing planning department even thought of the title of the plan.

Boss Zhou spent money to invite everyone to watch a movie.

This is really paying for it yourself, at least eight figures of real money smashed into it, and what you want is to grab the opening start.

After the premiere of "Shocking Demon Thieves", the media in the entire film and television industry fell into a carnival, and the film reviews of film critics from all walks of life came out one after another.

Famous film and television man Gongzihai: "Zhou Yutang's movie, through the skill of rapid editing, makes the transition between scenes very smooth and compact, this technique is very ingenious, adding more tension to the rhythm and tension of the overall story, the whole movie is thrilling, and it is the most amazing domestic special effects blockbuster I have ever seen." ”

Famous film critic Fang Li Riyue: "I have to say that the hook left by Zhou Yutang in "League of Thieves" is very wonderful, several magic shows of the Four Knights are amazing enough, and the overall storyline structure must be meticulous and attentive, peeling off the cocoon, interlocking, and fascinating, I am thinking about the Q organization at the end, I hope Director Zhou can fill the hole in the sequel, overall, this is a movie with a high degree of completion, it is worth watching." ”

Well-known filmmaker Morning Star LL: "All of Zhou Yutang's cracks and speculations about magic in the movie are shown to the audience from the perspective of the old man You Benzheng, and the feeling of this old man is not simple, his attitude towards Akai in the movie seems to have something to do with Akai's father, we think that we have cracked the truth with Mr. You, but in fact, all the speculations are just guesses, and only Zhou Yutang knows the truth. ”

“.”

Whether it is the storyline of "Shocking Demon Thieves", or the color of the movie, or the thrilling special effects, it is definitely the top level of domestic films, and the media have given high ratings.

There were rave reviews on the Internet in the early stage, and Zhou Yutang was not impetuous.

Great oaks from little acorns grow..

In the film industry in the Celestial Empire, the most important thing is to be grounded.

Those main creators are lying at home, and the box office is all kinds of take-off, which is purely science fiction stories, and he still leads the team to run a publicity roadshow in a down-to-earth manner.

Hu Ge and Deng Chao led a team, and he took Guli Naza and Zhang Yi and others to another group, with the goal of eating all the first-tier ticket warehouse cities in the country.

On the day of the official release of "Shocking Demon Thieves".

As soon as Zhou Yutang finished the roadshow of Beijing UME International Cinema, he received a call from Han Sanping: "Yutang, the attendance rate is at least more than ninety." ”

Han Sanping pays more attention to the movie attendance rate than him, as well as the real-time updated first-day box office data.

By the next day, Zhou Yutang had already arrived in the magic capital, and had just come out of the magic city Wujiaochang Wanda Cinema, and received a call from Han Sanping.

"The first-day box office, 88.93 million, a new first-day box office record for domestic films!"

The battle-hardened veteran Han Sanye's voice trembled a little.

He knew exactly what that meant.

During his tenure, another phenomenal film is about to be born.

This is a purely commercial film, and the ceiling is undoubtedly higher than that of "Bouquet of Love".

Now it seems that it is very likely to surpass "League of Thieves", and even touch the mountain that stands in the way of the Celestial Empire movie, it may not be hopeless.

Ren Zhonglun was also happy: "Yu Tang, at the Peace Hotel at night, I booked a private room, and Lao Wu is also there!" ”

It's really hard to resist.

Not only was Ren Zhonglun happy, but Wu Heru, an old man, also smiled crookedly.

He likes the rising stars in the circle the most, especially young people like Zhou Yutang who have enough weight to show respect for himself, in exchange for spiritual comfort and satisfaction.

Zhou Yutang is also very cooperative every time, anyway, he coaxes the old man, and accordingly he will take care of the film schedule, and this business will be done.

Wu Heru has been running the new United Cinema Line for decades, and he is also a big man in the Shanghai film and television industry.

Zhou Yutang took Ni Ni and Guli Naza to the banquet, and did not open champagne that night, but opened several bottles of Moutai that Mr. Ren had privately treasured for some years.

Tian Ming, the senior executives of Shanghai Film Group, the deputy director of Modu Station and others, including several CEOs of the Shanghai film and television industry, drank very happily.

ended the dinner of Ren Zhonglun's Shanghai Gang, and the next day Zhou Yutang immediately went straight to Hangzhou non-stop.

The magic capital is not far from Hangzhou, and Su and Hu are close to each other, and his popularity in Hangzhou is also very high.

On the second day of release, the box office reported 90.75 million.

Looking at the box office statistics sent by the relevant departments of the company, some people from film and television companies in the circle were all dumbfounded.

"Shhh Is this box office crazy? ”

gasping, first suspecting that he had read it wrong, and only after reconfirming it did he accept this astonishing fact.

This is so wicked!

The industry once again felt the shock brought by the release of top domestic blockbusters.

It's like Lao Mouzi's "Hero" came out, sweeping everything and being invincible, and the current "Shocking Demon Thieves" also has the domineering spirit of killing a hundred flowers after my flowers bloom.

At this time, more than half of the release period of "Youth Pi", because of the excellent film quality and good reputation, it has maintained a box office growth rate of about 15 million, calmly crossed the threshold of 500 million, and is rushing towards 600 million.

However, after the 12th, after the release of "Shocking Demon Thieves", the box office of "Youth Pi" fell sharply by 10 million on the same day.

Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast" couldn't even survive for a long time, and the daily box office dropped to 670,000, and he was directly sent away by Zhou Yutang with dignity.

After Feng Xiaogang's "1942" won 137 million in the first week, the box office is also growing steadily thanks to good word-of-mouth.

But after the 12th, the daily box office was also cut in half, and it fell to more than 8 million in an instant, and the film schedule dropped by a full ten percentage points, all of which were blessed to "Shocking Demon Thieves".

Even the luxury casts of the above big directors can't stop it, such as the Hong Kong film "My Husband is Unreliable", South Korea's annual hit "Wire Worm", and even other smaller movies released at the same time, not to mention.

After the release of "Shocking Demon Thieves", there was no way to live at all, and there was no suspense to be crushed to death.

A hurricane that swept through the entire Celestial Empire film industry is raging wildly.

As a benchmark figure in the bulk province, Jinling is also Zhou Yu's home field, Zhou Yutang can be said to be in full swing here, and even returned to his parents' house with his assistant Ni Ni, and also received a lot of applause, and there were heated discussions on the Internet:

"Yesterday at the scene, can I say that Zhou Yutang is handsome?"

"He usually doesn't wear makeup, he appears without makeup, but he is getting more and more handsome and more masculine."

"It's really crazy, it's still a weekday, and I have to wait until the weekend off, and the box office doesn't take off directly!?"

"The boss is mighty, the movie is very good, the movie tickets are not expensive, I am going to take my boyfriend in the bedroom to go to the second brush!"

"No wonder, Zhou Yutang is generally very stable, this time it is rare to let out cruel words, and it really did not disappoint."

"I wonder what Q Organization does, and is there a sequel to it?"

"Station B already has an UP master who has done the magic analysis of the earth-shattering demon thief group and the analysis of the plot clues of the sequel."

Zhou Yutang sincerely admires this year's audience.

It has only been a long time since the movie was released, and there have been countless magic analyses, including the character relationship between "League of Thieves" and "Amazing Demon Thieves".

In the audience, there are many keyboard warriors, but there are really many kings of reading comprehension, fancy digging out the hidden information in the whole movie, including the confrontation between organization K and organization Q, and the tarot cards corresponding to the protagonist group.

Even the detective rankings mentioned in it were caught by the big hands.

Zhou Yutang is also happy to see this, the more he interprets, the more heated the controversy will be, the popularity will continue to rise, and the more favorable it will be to the subsequent box office trend.

Regarding the sequel, it is not only the audience who is concerned, but also several producers.

Han Sanping had already communicated with Zhou Yutang in advance, and Zhongying must have a place, and he knew it in his heart.

Ren Zhonglun's treasure Moutai is not drunk in vain, he has been trying to pull Zhou Yutang into the small circle of Jiangsu and Shanghai.

However, Wang Changtian and Wanda's Ye Ning were more anxious, and "Shocking Demon Thieves" exploded again on the first day after the pre-sale explosion, refreshing the first-day box office record of 85.43 million held by "Bouquet".

After the capital enters the market, a movie is not just a movie.

At the capital level, it will also play a big role in the stock price of the producing company.

Huayi's stock price fell by more than a dozen points in a row, because the box office of Xiaogang Cannon's "1942" failed to meet expectations, and after the box office of "Shocking Demon Thieves" was released, the stock price of Guangguang, as one of the main producers, rose 8% on the same day, and Wang Changtian made more calls to Zhou Yutang than Liu Shishi in the past two days.

"Mr. Wang, take a look at the box office over the weekend, no surprise, when the release is over, you can officially announce the sequel plan."

Zhou Yutang really couldn't stand the harassment of the light king, so he was relieved.

Guo Fan, who ran the roadshow with him, also asked with great interest: "Mr. Zhou, when will the sequel be made?" ”

To be able to participate in such a project and receive applause from all the crowds, he also has an indescribable excitement.

"Let's make the script first, I have an important project to start next year, and my role in the sequel may be relatively small."

Zhou Yutang laughed softly: "When the time comes, I'll leave it to you." ”

He has thought about the plot of the sequel, and the beginning explodes, directly sacrificing the male protagonist King Akai to the sky.

The one who did it was the Q organization, of course, Akai was not so easy to hang, but he was hidden, not really dead, so as to set off the mystery and strength of the Q organization.

Then, push out the good brother Zhu Yilong to take over the vacant position of the Four Knights, and the main line will be there, tooth for tooth, blood for blood, and continue the thrilling magic show against the Q organization.

"Leave it to me?"

Guo Fan looked at it with a dull gaze, his lips moved, he swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "Director Zhou, aren't you afraid that I will smash your signboard?" ”

"Believe in yourself, there is nothing wrong with your abilities."

Zhou Yutang patted Guo Fan's shoulder and encouraged.

Guo Fan, as the assistant director of the first part of the Shocking Demon Thieves, participated in the production process of the entire movie, and also put forward a lot of pertinent and useful opinions.

He is capable and talented in his own right.

After joining Jiangdong Entertainment, he has been accumulating and precipitating.

Just wait for one chance.
