Chapter 409: It's time to see a psychiatrist
"Truman's World" set off a movie-watching frenzy, breaking 100 million for three consecutive days!"
"Li Qian reproduced the box office miracle of last summer's "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and "Truman's World" triggered a hot scene in cinemas across the country, and it was hard to find a ticket during prime time!"
"The absurd drama "Truman's World" has triggered the audience's thinking about life, life, and fate, everyone is Truman, and no one is Truman!"
"400 million in three days, "Truman's World" completely swept the Lunar New Year file, "Zodiac", "The Fantasy Drift of Pi", "The King's Feast" and other movies were cut in half, and Li Qian once again showed box office dominance!"
.....
After winning 103 million box office on the first day, the major theaters on Friday directly increased by 40% of the film schedule, and "Truman's World" won 126 million box office again with 65% of the film schedule on Friday.
On Saturday, the first rest day, the film schedule rose by 4 points again, and the single-day box office also rose to 161 million.
Saturday's all-day attendance, including daytime performances, even reached a terrifying 70%, and from the beginning of the evening, it was basically full.
The total box office in three days was 390 million, plus the 10 million in the zero point field, and the total box office exceeded the 400 million mark.
The box office of 400 million in three days, if someone said this data three days ago, it would definitely be sprayed to death.
Whether it is industry insiders, the media, or even the layman's ordinary audience, they all know that 400 million in three days is completely an impossible task for HI.
There are currently 1.3 screens in China, and there are 7 screenings on one screen every day, with an average of 102 seats per screen.
There are still fewer seats, and the movie theaters in many small places are actually very small, and even Wanda Cinema Line, which is full of high-end theaters, has an average of 170 seats per screen.
Dozens of seat movie theaters, all over the country.
In other words, with the average ticket price of 35 yuan in the early stage, the 100% attendance rate, and the box office is only about 320 million.
50% of the films, 50% of the attendance, and the box office is only 80 million.
50% attendance throughout the day, even on Saturdays, is a very high number, and there won't be two such movies in a year.
The upper limit of the single-day box office is theoretically more than 80 million.
However, "Truman's World" completely exceeded this limit by two times, with 69% of the film schedule, close to 70% of the all-day attendance, creating a single-day box office miracle of 161 million!
However, it is also a Saturday holiday, otherwise 70% of the day's attendance is 100% impossible on weekdays.
After all, no matter how good a movie is, it can't make millions of viewers take leave to watch it during the day, and looking at the global film history, no movie has this ability.
But this is terrifying enough, the single-day box office has reached twice the market ceiling, and it is definitely a complete phenomenal movie!
This data has brought shocks to the industry, which is no less than breaking 100 million on the first day, and even more shocking.
Because, "Truman's World" has broken through the upper limit of market accommodation!
Compared with the excitement of the outside audience and the media, the industry is silent.
The CEOs and senior executives of the major branches really don't know what to say.
This real number is here, no matter what you say, it is in vain, and it is too reluctant for them as opponents to pursue Li Qian.
The entire film industry was silent, and the executives of various companies didn't even dare to talk about the movie in front of the CEOs, as if they hadn't seen the movie.
But privately, they have nothing to say about "Truman's World".
What's more, I still sigh at Li Qian's unbridled imagination and create a movie that can be called a masterpiece.
.......
For other companies, however, silence is all over, and then a meeting of the creative department is called to see if they can find some inspiration, learn from experience, and make some money by making a similar film.
However, Huayang Media, two blockbusters were released, and the Chinese New Year file was their main battlefield, how could they pretend to be an ostrich.
"Zodiac" still had 16 million at the box office on Wednesday, and as soon as "Truman's World" was released on Thursday, there were only 10 million left.
On Saturday and weekend, although only 14% of the film schedule was left, it still got 13 million box office, which was a bit up.
However, I got 270 million last week, and after six days this week, I only got 82 million box office, and I jumped to Mi Lijian on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
The two departments of publicity and distribution have been under all the pressure in the past two days, and Huang Zhongjun can't do anything about it, so he can only use these two departments to vent his anger, arresting two directors, several supervisors, and managers to vent all of them.
Up and down, layer by layer, after being scolded by the boss, I turned around and cut my head and covered my face, and my subordinates felt more comfortable.
The atmosphere was extremely tense throughout Huayang Media, and everyone was afraid that they would be taken out of anger.
Huang Zhongjun came to the company with a cold face, and all the employees were not in a hurry along the way, and they didn't even have the mind to stutter.
convened a meeting of the publicity and distribution department to prepare for the release of "1942", and gave death orders to the two departments, the box office could not reach 800 million, and the year-end bonuses of the two departments were halved.
Originally, Huang Zhongjun's lowest expectation was one billion, and there was a small long holiday on New Year's Day.
However, the box office of "Truman's World" can only lower expectations, at least stronger than "Tangshan Earthquake", and 700 million is the minimum acceptance range.
Both gave death orders, and the two directors could only stubbornly rely on the package ticket.
"Chairman, otherwise, how about we give the theater chain a part of the profit, with 500 million, 800 million, and 1 billion as the ladder, and let each give a point of share?" asked the distribution director tentatively.
Huang Zhongjun pondered for a moment, but nodded with difficulty and agreed, "Yes, I will see at least 50% of the scheduled films on the day of release!"
The division of one point is also a huge amount for hundreds of millions of box office, and Huang Zhongjun's heart is dripping blood.
A blockbuster like "1942" has changed from the past, where is the need to do this.
Now Huang Zhongjun has regretted it, he has so many blockbusters in his hands this year, why do he want to fight Li Qian.
If you change the schedule, this year will definitely be a bumper year, where is it like now, you have to make profits to the theater.
Now, Huang Zhongjun can only put his last expectations on "1942", I hope Ma Xiaogang will fight for some energy, so that he can have a good year.
......
Ma Xiaogang has not had a good time these days, originally this year was preparing for a shame, and the carefully prepared disaster blockbuster "1942" will definitely shake the industry three times!
However, in "Truman's World" of 400 million in three days, even if he looks down on Li Qian, he has no confidence to exceed this number.
However, when he was on a talk show for the promotion of the movie, he was asked by the host if he had confidence in the face of the pressure of "Truman's World", Ma Xiaogang was still extremely confident.
"I don't have any pressure at all, although we are not an entertainment film, but my minimum goal for "1942" is one billion box office, and I also believe that this film reflects the drought in southern Henan and the suffering of the nation, and shows the warmth and strength of the humanity shown by the Chinese nation in the face of disasters, which is worth going to the cinema to watch. β
"Director Ma, you and Director Li had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel last year, and this time you are in the same New Year stall, isn't it a bit of competition?" The host asked again, after all, it was an exclusive interview, and he wouldn't ask too sharp questions.
Ma Xiaogang suddenly smiled and said, "Movies are not so comparative, competitive, there is no possibility of comparing different types of movies, I watched "Truman's World", it is indeed a good comedy movie, it is a pure entertainment movie, and it may be more popular with the public."
As for "1942", the entertainment may not be so strong, but this movie is in a sense a spiritual coming-of-age ceremony of the Chinese nation, which embodies the conscience and moral sense of film art, and transcends the universal emotions of the Chinese nation.
In other words, this is a mirror of the Chinese nation, through which we will better understand the tenacity and greatness of the Chinese nation that has survived through hardships, how rare it is to live a life of abundant food and clothing today, and how realistic and far-reaching significance of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can we ......"
Ma Xiaogang talked about the meaning of the movie with a solemn face, and he was blinded by the host.
Is this still Ma Xiaogang?
I don't know which director of the main theme literary film I thought it was, which surprised the host, you must know that even when "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was released last year, Li Qian was not so exaggerated.
Ma Xiaogang felt bitter in his heart, no matter how crazy he was, he still had to keep a low profile at this time.
This time it is planted, the current box office of "Truman's World", and the box office potential shown, no matter how confident he is, he doesn't think "1942" can compare.
However, the box office is not dominant, and it can only be said from the general righteousness, from the spiritual and artistic level of the movie.
As for the rest, we can only think about it in the long run.
Therefore, Ma Xiaogang and Huayang Media have changed their propaganda strategies, talked about national emotions, not talked about the box office, and incarnated as conscientious filmmakers with historical missions.
This surprised everyone, but the audience still remembered that Li Qian and Ma Xiaogang made an appointment to compete in the New Year file last year.
"Ma Xiaogang is cowardly, look at this speech, I don't know or think it's an art film director!"
"You're embarrassed to say that Li Qian makes entertainment films, and I don't know who specializes in making cheesy funny movies!"
"Where did Ma Xiaogang come from to say that "Truman's World" is an entertainment film, and the connotation of this movie is much stronger than his previous films!"
"Last year's Weibo appointment battle, I took screenshots, Ma Xiaogang don't admit it!"
"It seems that there is still a movie by Lu Chuan, I almost forgot about it. β
"What movie is Lu Chuan?"
""The King's Feast", but the box office doesn't seem to be much, and the filming is not good, it looks like a stage play. β
"I haven't seen it, I'm not interested, who still watches costume movies!"
"Ma Xiaogang found a good excuse this time, what about the mirror of the Chinese nation, and he became a conscience director after making two disaster movies?"
"I suggest Ma Xiaogang take a look in the mirror by himself, it must be another film that cheats tears, it's the end of the year, this kind of film is put on a festive day, and many people have died in the drought in southern Henan. β
"Ma Xiaogang is also a wonder, he used to advertise that the box office was king, and he used the box office to criticize other directors' films all day long, but now the box office is not as good as others, but he talks about art. β
"Repeatedly jumping sideways, being invincible, you talk to him about art, he talks to you about the box office, and when you want to talk about the box office, he talks to you about art!"
......
The ridicule of netizens with good memories on the Internet made Ma Xiaogang, who wanted to keep a low profile and wait for the release, furious.
He admits that the box office is not as good as Li Qian's entertainment film, and these people are still looking for trouble!
"It's a bunch of well-fed people!"
However, Ma Xiaogang, who has experienced several setbacks in a row, no matter how angry he was this time, he didn't go to the right line.
He waited for "1942" to be released, and when the time came, he would slap these questioners in the face.
......
The mirror of the Chinese nation.
When Li Qian looked at this, the corners of his mouth twitched, this is too good, I don't know how to blush.
But he didn't rush to find Ma Xiaogang's stubble, his movie hasn't been released yet, and he is really busy enough.
took some time, cooperated with CCTV to record something, produced a news broadcast feature, stayed in the capital for two days, and began to run a roadshow south.
To be honest, with the current popularity and reputation, even if Li Qian doesn't go to the roadshow, it won't have much impact.
However, human exchanges are still necessary, and it also adds some business to the cinemas along the road.
After the first battle in Tianjing, Li Qian appeared with the actors, interacted with the audience, and answered some questions from the audience.
The clichΓ© is reality and life, and the Internet has been rotten in the past two days.
"Director Li, does "Truman's World" have another ending, or Truman has been staying in a small town is the best destination, the outside world is not so beautiful, he will definitely be scrambled by major entertainment companies and become a tool for capitalists to make money, and there may not be comfort in a small town. β
An audience member mentioned a voice on the Internet that many people support, and many people feel that life in the small town is perfect, and if Truman doesn't know the truth, staying in it is the best choice.
Li Qian shook his head and said, "If any audience thinks it's better not to go out, then you should have enough life experience and have been used to it, but remember Truman's characteristics, he is enthusiastic, brave, sincere, and cheerful."
Not afraid to go to a strange world, or even afraid of death, for him, even if he dies in the sea, it is much better than continuing this kind of privileged life, remember "Robot Wall-E", the future humans in this movie, life is carefree, but they say it is ugly, not much different from pigs in captivity.
I know that most people are the same as Truman, but they lack the courage of Truman, or they are not like Truman alone, everyone has their own concerns, from parents, wives and children, but have you ever thought that because of our concerns, we dare not open that door and go to the unknown, but why not open a small window, even if it is a small window. β
Open a window?
The younger audience in the audience didn't feel much yet, but for the audience who had already married a family, this sentence made their long-dormant hearts throb slightly.
"Hello Director Li, I don't think you should make this movie!"
Suddenly, an audience member stood up and said loudly to Li Qian.
οΌοΌοΌ
All the audience was stunned.
Li Qian is also a little strange, I don't make movies, you look at a hammer, making movies will also provoke you!
"What did this friend say?"
The audience stood up and said angrily, "Although Truman escaped from that false world, he still lives in the movie, and that false world will show flaws sooner or later, but he lives in the movie, but he will never find out, I don't know that there are still us audiences!"
it!
Li Qian opened his mouth, I don't know what to say, brother, should you go to the psychiatric department.
The other spectators also looked at him with neurotic eyes at this time.
