Chapter 163: First Day Box Office (Third Update)

"Do you have any special preparation for the English lines?"

"The director asked us not to bring the script when we joined the group, and we must memorize the script, which is the most basic requirement!"

"Do you care about the controversy on the Internet before?"

“... If you care about the position, it's not "The Great Wall". ”

Although Shanghai is Lao Hu's home field, there are too many actors in "The Great Wall", Uncle Long needless to say, Guo Jingfei, Lin Gengxin, and Deng Lun are the most popular actors today...

Of course, everyone added together, and none of them had a topic like Shen Mengxi!

After all, everyone knows that Shen Mengxi filmed "The Great Wall" in order to practice heavy industry films, and by the way, export Chinese culture to the outside world - CCTV qualitative.

Everyone knows that this is a bright path and should be done.

————

The various policies introduced above and the various support for the film industry are to allow you to complete the industrialization transformation with the help of financial strength.

No one has been doing it, because it is obvious that it can also be made at low and medium costs!

Later, bad movies can also make money, and they make more...

But that doesn't stop them from hoping that a big guy will come forward...

Shen Mengxi is this big guy!

So, the attitude is very good, and the questions asked are easy to answer...

"North America will be released tomorrow... They were 12 hours behind us. ”

"Three thousand two hundred theaters... Mainstream cinema, of course!"

"The professional organization over there is expected to be about 50 million dollars, which is about the same as our goal..."

"If it fails... Failure is a lesson, marking our failure to build a pan-international IP with Chinese characteristics, and the "Great Wall 2" project is temporarily suspended... By the way, the plan to completely open the global box office for Chinese films has been temporarily suspended... Otherwise, why would the news broadcaster advertise you? Do you think I'm under pressure?"

"What else can I do if I learn my lesson?"

"On the bright side, the movie has just been released, and the probability of success is still very high!"

......

The original time and space, the "Great Wall" project...

One sentence evaluation: The script is average, the special effects money has not been wasted, the director has tried his best, the editing is unqualified, the actors have performed well, at least above the qualified line;

However, there are too many factors that affect the box office at any time and cannot be controlled.

The box office was expected to be between $300 million and $600 million, but unfortunately, a lot of the floating factors went to the downside.

In fact, if "The Great Wall" is released at the same time in the Spring Festival, the situation will be much better, at least there is no obstacle to 400 million US dollars worldwide, but this is only if.

In terms of box office alone, the global box office is 330 million US dollars, China is 170 million US dollars, North America is 47 million, and other regions are more than 100 million US dollars...

The results of the rest of the region were actually passable, and while Western Europe, Australia, and South Korea were not as good as they could be, Eastern Europe and Latin America were surprisingly good – Brazil, Mexico, and together took in nearly $20 million at the box office!

It's not a failure overall.

It's a pity that the reputation is too bad!

The domestic results are miserable - in fact, the rhythm and plot of "The Great Wall" are brain-dead, the soundtrack, sound effects, special effects, and photography are all a lot higher than "The Mermaid", but they lost so badly...

Everyone also cheered, the failure of "The Great Wall" shows that our aesthetics have improved.

Is that really the case?

Conspiracy theories: The Douban Maoyan incident that suddenly broke out when "The Great Wall" has been released for two weeks has vividly embodied the naivety of the General Administration, the strength of some public opinion control, and the retarded minds of the "literary youth";

Moreover, five months after "The Great Wall" was criticized for its substandard plot, "Fast and Furious 8", which turned a sea of blood feud into a family in terms of plot, is scheduled to fetch $200 million in the same market opening weekend!

Is there any capital behind this?

Why did "China Film News", "Sina Finance" and even the "People's Daily" client all reprinted "Bad comments hurt the film industry" and "Douban and Maoyan were interviewed by the General Administration"?

Even if Director Zhang Hongsen came forward to refute the rumors, Douban CEO A Bei also said in the circle of friends that he had not been asked to meet...

And no one believes it?

forced "People's Daily" to write: Chinese films must have a belly that can accommodate 'one star'...

Don't talk about it, everyone who understands understands!

......

"Let's eat something..."

At ten o'clock in the evening, after ending the publicity and arriving at the hotel, the wine and food had already been prepared, and Shen Mengxi hurriedly greeted the staff.

"Director, you eat too!"

"Hmm..."

Shen Mengxi sat down, picked up the chicken leg, and took a bite...

It was fragrant, but it took a lot of effort for him to swallow it.

Of course he was in a hurry, and he especially wanted to take out his mobile phone to see the fact box office of "The Great Wall"...

But I am worried that my actions will disturb the morale of the army!

He, the director, is so unstable, what should others think?

"You can't scribble when talking about love and hate, the drums of war are beating and beating..."

"I'll answer the phone!"

The bell rang, Shen Mengxi took out his mobile phone as quickly as possible, and answered, it was Song Hang who dialed...

As soon as he left, the other people sitting at the table immediately relaxed, Lin Gengxin immediately took out his mobile phone, and Cheng Long, Hu Ge, Guo Jingfei, and Deng Lun surrounded him: "How much?"

“... 89 million..."

Cheng Longwen Huge: "... Is that a good result?"

Hu Ge nodded: "Very good, after all, today is the 7th..."

"What was the box office of "Walking with God" on the first day?"

"It's not 80 million... I remember as if..."

"The first two days were just appetizers, and after the 9th, it was the outbreak period!"

"How's word of mouth?"

“... Maoyan score 9.8 points... I'll take a look at Douban..."

Lin Gengxin skillfully clicked on Douban: "... 7.7 points, down one point..."

"I guess there is a naval army attacking!"

There is indeed a water army with a rhythm...

Crazy attack on "The Great Wall", uniformly.

There is also a marketing account, so as not to say anything 'Shen Mengxi is dead', but the tone is very bad, saying 'Hurry up and shoot your literary film, watch Lao Tzu all kinds of embarrassment!'

It's relatively rare, after all, Ahri hasn't officially stepped into the film industry yet...

Of course, most of the Weibo is full of praise...

Mengxi Media pays 20 million protection fees every year, and Shen Mengxi is also a Weibo shareholder, and he has never participated in Weibo infighting, and everyone is willing to give him face.

By the way, the eighth place in the hot search is a comparison of two pictures with more than 10,000 comments: 'Shen Mengxi VS Chen Kaige' - both are reflections when asked about when the box office did not meet expectations, Shen Mengxi's response 'Learn a lesson, what else can you do?', and Brother Chen Kai was 'furious and scolded Liu Yan for hurting his self-esteem and being unfriendly. ’

"It's really a comparison of things!"

"For this comparison, I'll buy a ticket right away!"

Song Hang called Shen Mengxi and said that this was the matter, and Shen Mengxi sighed: "This water army problem is not easy to solve... You tell the propaganda department to pay more attention ... Also, word-of-mouth maintenance lasts for four days, waiting for the global box office to be released in the first weekend..."

"Can you handle it overseas?"

"I can get a fart, popcorn movie, life and death are decided on the first weekend, the box office is released on the first weekend, and the country must have received feedback, if the box office is strong, the water army is estimated to be no longer black, if it is not forced, it is useless for us to maintain it~"
