Vol 2 Chapter 762: First day box office confrontation

magic capital.

In the bright study room, Zhao Sheng in gray pajamas sat in front of the computer and opened the movie forum.

"Strange Mountain and Sea" is also released today.

Zhao Sheng wants to see the evaluation of his movie on the Internet.

"Strange Mountain and Sea" has been given countless expectations by him, and he has not only expectations but also apprehensions in his heart.

But looking around, almost all the posts are discussing the two movies "Kung Fu" and "Straight into the Sky".

Zhao Sheng persevered in flipping through the sections, comedy, action, military...

Even in the fantasy section that "Strange Mountain and Sea" belongs to, most people are discussing these two movies, and only a few people talk about "Strange Mountain and Sea".

Zhao Sheng's wife came in with a glass of water and asked, "How is the situation of "The Strange Mountain and Sea"?"

Noticing that Zhao Sheng didn't speak, and the expression on his face seemed a little stiff, she understood that the situation was not good.

"Drink some water." She put the cup beside Zhao Sheng, walked behind her, and gently rubbed his shoulders.

Zhao Sheng let out a long sigh, rubbed his hair, and asked depressedly, "Are these two movies so good?"

Movie box office results can be seen from movie forum posts.

For some people who often visit movie forums, they like to share their feelings on it after watching new movies.

Now almost everyone in the comment area is praising "Kung Fu" and "Straight into the Sky", which is also a kind of publicity for the movie.

This will arouse the curiosity of many netizens. Only you can know how beautiful it is after seeing it.

For this reason, more and more people will go to the cinema.

The voice of "Strange Mountain and Sea" is very small, so it will not attract the attention of netizens.

Zhao Sheng's wife knew that Zhao Sheng had put so much effort into this film, but all she could do was enlighten her.

Zhao Sheng lay on the chair and said unwillingly: "No, I want to see it with my own eyes, my wife, let's go and see what is so good about these two movies this afternoon!"

"Straight into the Sky" is a blockbuster abroad, and he can understand the discussions about it on the Internet.

But "Kung Fu" is a martial arts action movie that has declined, so why did it also attract such wide acclaim on the Internet? Because of Tan Yue? Or is the movie really that high quality?

The wife nodded in agreement.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The two walked into the movie theater, seeing the auditorium full of audiences, Zhao Sheng felt somewhat envious.

None of his previous films were fully booked when they were released.

After "Straight into the Sky" ended, the two walked into the movie theater of "Kung Fu".

After two movies in a row, Zhao Sheng and his wife walked out of the movie theater with tired bodies.

After all, watching a movie today is not for relaxation.

Seeing Zhao Sheng's fatigue, his wife took him to a coffee shop for a short rest.

After coming out of the movie theater, Zhao Sheng has not spoken.

To say that he was most surprised by these two films was "Kung Fu".

Unexpectedly, Tan Yue actually made an excellent martial arts action movie.

It's just that in Lushan, I don't know faces.

Zhao Sheng has watched his own movies too many times, and always felt that his own movies were also very good, so he asked his wife, "What do you think of these two movies?"

The wife nodded and said, "They all look pretty."

In her opinion, "Kung Fu" is the favorite of the two movies, both in terms of plot and visual effects, it is a very good movie.

Now she finally knows why so many netizens praise "Kung Fu".

In fact, the feeling brought by watching the movie is much better than expected.

Zhao Sheng took a sip of the latte, although it was very bitter, but he thought it was delicious, and asked his doubts: "How does it compare with "Strange Mountain and Sea"?"

The wife hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was no need to lie.

"Kung Fu" and "Straight into the Sky" have a lot of popularity in themselves, and the quality is still so high, and they are deeply loved by the audience. The box office results will definitely be much higher than other movies.

The wife said: "These two movies are better."

Zhao Sheng didn't speak, but sipped the coffee in the cup.

magic capital.

Jiang Bei tapped the keyboard and wrote an in-depth analysis of "Kung Fu".

Every time after watching Tan Yue's movie, Jiang Bei would have a deep feeling.

He will sort out these feelings for easy learning and reference.

Before he knew it, he had already written more than 3,000 words, and he had no intention of stopping at all. He felt that he was about to become that young man's little fanboy.

The sound of typing on the keyboard echoed in the study.

Another half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, Jiang Bei left his hands from the keyboard, lit a cigarette, and continued to savor the movie.

Although "Kung Fu" is a martial arts action movie, because it was written by Tan Yue, Jiang Bei still felt that the quality of this movie would definitely not be bad.

And the result was better than he expected.

Being able to make such an excellent martial arts action movie in this market environment has once again refreshed his understanding of Tan Yue.

Seeing the high quality of "Kung Fu", Jiang Bei naturally thought what would be the box office results on the premiere day?

With "Straight into the Sky" as the opponent, the box office results on the first day are still very suspenseful.

Before the release of the two films, the online reviews of "Kung Fu" were not very favorable after all, and the impact on the box office performance was not small.

Jiang Bei inserted the cigarette **** into the ashtray and stretched his arms to relax his sore shoulders.

For these two films, of course he still hopes that "Kung Fu" can win the box office championship.

Seeing foreign movies being so popular in China, Jiang Bei felt powerless.

Having been a director for so many years, he also hopes that one day Huaguo's films will go to the world.

The sound of crackling and typing on the keyboard sounded again in the study.

late at night.

The busy city has calmed down, but the Internet is still very lively, and a group of senior movie fans are actually discussing the movie box office.

""Straight into the Sky" is so good-looking, it must be the box office champion of this month! The box office on the first day must also be far ahead!"

"I think "Kung Fu" will definitely be the box office champion on the first day of the May Day holiday. Many people around me have watched it."

"As a pure melon eater, I think these two movies are very good-looking. To me, it doesn't matter who is the box office champion."

"The box office of "Kung Fu" should not be bad. The box office results of Tan's movies are ridiculously high every time. How much will it be this time?"

"While watching "Straight into the Sky", the entire auditorium was full, and the box office was definitely high. "Kung Fu" is no match."

"The popularity of "Kung Fu" and "Straight into the Sky" is quite high. There is still a lot of suspense about who will be the box office champion."

the next day.

Brilliant Entertainment Company.

After the employees of the film department came to the company, they began to discuss "Kung Fu" and the box office, and then more and more people joined the chat.

"How much do you think the box office of "Kung Fu" will be?"

"It's hard to guess, but it must be very high. The champion must be ours!"

"Well, although I don't want to admit it, it's still a bit difficult for our "Kung Fu" to become the single-day box office champion. "Straight into the Sky" is so good."

Some people in the crowd agree, and some don't quite understand.

The person continued: "Before "Kung Fu" was released, many netizens were not looking forward to it. What's more, there is now a strong competitor "Straight into the Sky."

"I don't need to say more, I believe you have seen it on the Internet, how many people are discussing "Straight into the Sky" before the release, an American blockbuster has a great impact on the domestic film market."

The discussion became much quieter, and everyone couldn't help but start to worry. After all, the opponent this time is an American blockbuster that has always been strong!

The door of the office was open, but Zhou Can didn't seem to hear the discussion outside. He clasped his sweaty hands, closed his eyes and immersed himself in his own world.

Compared with the nervousness and anxiety of waiting for the box office results when "The King of Comedy" was released, Zhou Can felt more nervous this time.

First, the market environment makes it difficult for martial arts action films to have a good situation, which greatly increases the box office risk of "Kung Fu".

2 This is Zhou Can's second starring role in the film, which is very important to him.

"The King of Comedy" laid the foundation for his development in the film and television industry, and "Kung Fu" will determine his future development prospects.

Since its release, Zhou Can has been paying attention to the evaluation of "Kung Fu" on the Internet.

But the rave reviews did not completely dispel his concerns.

Now only seeing the box office results can calm him down.

Zhou Can, who had no intention of working, refreshed the page of the official website of the General Administration of Culture over and over again.

Knowing that it's not time yet, Zhou Can just couldn't control himself.

He hopes that "Kung Fu" will be like "The King of Comedy", which will explode at the box office and become the hottest movie at the moment.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Zhou Candu waited like years for the data to be updated.

Finally, it was ten o'clock sharp.

The official website of the State Administration of Culture updates the data regularly.

Zhou Can took a deep breath, tried his best to control his trembling hand and pressed it down.

First place: "Straight into the Sky", with a single-day box office of 546 million.

Second place: "Kung Fu", with a single-day box office of 528 million.

Third place: "Prairie Star", with a single-day box office of 182 million.

Fourth place: "Strange Mountain and Sea", with a single-day box office of 165 million.

the fifth place:...

Zhou Can clicked refresh again, still the same data.

He frowned slightly, rubbing his chin with his left hand, looking a little disappointed.

The single-day box office score of 528 million is very high for any movie, but it is still far from the box office score of "The King of Comedy" which broke 800 million on the first day.

What made Zhou Can even more disappointed was that "Kung Fu" was overwhelmed by "Straight into the Sky".

Zhou Can couldn't help feeling a little complicated.

He has always been a walk-on on the set, and was later signed by Tan Yue to join the Bright Entertainment Company. After playing supporting roles for several years, he finally embarked on the road of leading roles, and he still played the leading roles in two consecutive movies.

Who in the current entertainment industry does not envy Zhou Can's current situation.

But this time the box office performance of "Kung Fu" did not meet his expectations.

Zhou Can sat on the chair without energy.

After a short period of silence outside, it became lively again.

"The box office of 528 million is already very high. This is the box office of the first day, and there is still great potential."

"Seeing this box office result, I still feel a bit thumped. I was expecting to surpass "The King of Comedy", but I didn't expect it to be so far behind."

"It's because you think so well, how can martial arts action movies have such a high box office?"

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect to be overwhelmed by "Straight into the Sky". It's uncomfortable to watch."

"Although it ranks second, it is only 10 million yuan away from "Straight into the Sky" at the box office, and there is still a high chance of overtaking it."

"I hope so, the box office is already great, but it's a shame to be overwhelmed by an American film. It's a pity that "Straight into the Sky" didn't hit "The King of Comedy" and "Garland Below the Mountain."

"Kung Fu" ranked second at the box office, which made many company employees feel a little disappointed.

President's office, Tan Yue's office.

Tan Yue also sat in front of the computer to check the box office results of the films released yesterday by the General Administration of Culture.

"528 million." Seeing this result, Tan Yue nodded slightly.

This result can be said to be within his expectations.

In the current film market environment, martial arts action films are not very popular. It is very good that "Kung Fu" can achieve such a result on the premiere day.

And it's normal that "Kung Fu"'s box office is not as good as "Straight into the Sky".

After all, it is an American blockbuster, full of gimmicks, and more attractive to the ~ If Tan Yue is the audience, "Straight into the Sky" will also be the first choice to enter the cinema.

At this time, Chen Ziyu knocked on the door lightly and came in, walked to Tan Yue's side, and said, "Have you checked the box office results?"

Tan Yue nodded and said, "Yes."

"how do you feel?"

"This result is pretty good."

On this point, Chen Ziyu had the same opinion as Tan Yue.

Tan Yue glanced at the box office results, and said softly: "I am still very confident about the movie "Kung Fu". There are various reasons. The box office on the first day was lower than that of "Straight into the Sky", but there is a chance to overtake it later." of."

Chen Ziyu nodded in agreement.

Yesterday, the two of them went to the movie theater to watch "Straight into the Sky", and she was also very confident that the final box office of "Kung Fu" would surpass "Straight into the Sky".

"I knew it was just drizzle to you, haha."

Looking at the confident Tan Yue, Chen Ziyu reached out and hugged her boyfriend's shoulders.

After Chen Ziyu left, Tan Yue leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to think.

He does have a lot of faith in Kung Fu.

One is because he is aware of the important position of "Kung Fu" in the history of movies. The quality of this movie is extremely high, even surpassing "The King of Comedy". It's still a matter of subject matter, the current market for martial arts action movies has shrunk too much.

Another reason is also related to the competition this time. "Straight into the Sky" is an American blockbuster, and whether it is invested in filming funds, directors or actors, they are all international celebrities.

Now many domestic audiences have inexplicably strong expectations for international European and American blockbusters.

Tan Yue slowly closed his eyes.

This situation will be broken sooner or later.
