Light and shadow player

Regarding last year's promise to ask Peter Jackson to direct "A Chinese Ghost Story", but this year's failure to fulfill the promise, Ahri Pictures responded in this way at the premiere:
"We were very active in contacting Peter Jackson, but director Peter Jackson was busy with the work of "The Battle of the Five Armies" at the time, unfortunately he could not accept our invitation, but he still participated in the preparation and shooting of our film as a producer middle."

After the fat man finished filming "The Battle of the Five Armies", he was not short of money, but his hands were getting darker and worse. Ari paid him a lot of money and asked him to be a producer. In fact, Peter Jackson was not on Ari's crew for a day. worked.

"Although we couldn't invite Peter Jackson to direct, our special effects were really hired by the special effects team of "The Lord of the Rings". We worked together with more than ten special effects companies in the United Nations, and resolutely put an end to five-cent special effects!"

It is true that there are more than ten special effects companies in the United Nations, but whether it is [-] cents or not depends on the audience's response.

Lu Han and Zheng Shuang also actively interacted with fans at the scene. Lu Han even announced that if the box office exceeds 10 billion, he will pick a fan on Weibo to have dinner with him.

Zheng Shuang also made a bet, saying that if the box office exceeds 10 billion, an audience member will be selected to visit her house and cook for him.

The fans at the scene went crazy!
On that day, the pre-sale box office in Beijing alone climbed another 200 million!
The top-tier appeal is still visible, no wonder they love to use these people.

Ms. Zhang Wei, president of Ali Pictures, was on the scene to pick up troubles. Internet practitioners are not afraid of offending people, but they are afraid of not paying attention: "Although the story of "Thieves 2" continues the first part, it has changed from director to actor. I am very concerned about its specific performance, but "The Nine-story Demon Tower". Lu Chuan is a very mature director, and the cast should not be underestimated. He should be the biggest rival of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Our goal for the film is 10!"

She also knew that if she said she wanted to break the record of "Monster Hunt", people would say that this bitch was crazy.

First report 10 billion, the page is enough.

There is one big difference between movies and other consumer products.

For other consumer products, you can return them if you feel dissatisfied after using them for a period of time.

Movie tickets are different. You can get a refund before the movie starts, but if you want to get a refund after watching the movie and say that the movie is not good, will you go to the theater to take care of you?
From this aspect, we can see the clues of the so-called traffic data.

Why are fans willing to do live streaming or photo (picture album, physical album) data, but it is difficult to do box office data.

Because the former can be returned, and merchants generally do not announce the return rate to the outside world, and will not subtract the amount of returns when calculating sales to make the data look good, so fans or the MCN behind them are happy to do this kind of data.

But the box office is non-refundable.

Under normal circumstances, the box office results announced by theaters are the money you actually spend on buying tickets to watch movies, and all of this money goes into the pockets of theaters and producers.

Even if you buy a ticket and don't go to see it, the theater will not refund your money.

This is a very simple truth, but many Internet companies do film and television just don’t understand, they fancy your number of fans, the number of retweets and comments on your Weibo, and think this is an important indicator to judge your popularity.

If there are fans and enthusiasm, someone will pay for the things you shoot.

Therefore, "A Chinese Ghost Story"'s first day Wednesday's score of 8700 million shocked the industry!
Does this group of people really have such a big box office appeal?
The Alibaba Pictures Weibo editor stayed up all night, surfing the limit all night, and kept reposting netizens' praise for this film.

The staff of the male and female protagonists Lu and Zheng also followed closely.

"Xiaolu played a different Ning Caichen. It is refreshing."

"Sensible fan. I have been looking forward to Xiaolu's first work after returning to China. The special effects of this "A Chinese Ghost Story" are very brilliant, and the art and scenery are also very good. The director may also consider the audience's acceptance, and did not change too much. , went through the whole process very smoothly. It’s a good movie, worth buying a ticket.”

The same is true of Sister Shuang.

At 10:[-] a.m. the next day, Ahri Films released a poster to celebrate the film's breakthrough of [-] million yuan.

Tao Piao Piao scored 8.0 points, and Maoyan scored 8.2 points, both of which gave movie-watching recommendations.

Douban has not opened yet, but the comments below are not good.

Of course, the traffic group doesn't watch Douban.

With the happy news of over [-] million yuan, people in the circle sent blessings one after another.

On the second day after the film was released, it reported a receipt of 5600 million.

Managers of major theater chains adjusted their expectations one after another, believing that the film’s box office should reach more than 3 million in the first weekend. According to this trend, the total box office may indeed hit 10 billion.

This is still counting the impact of the release of "Rogue 25" on the 2th.

Looking at it this way, "A Chinese Ghost Story" really made a good start for the National Day file.

Its first pass is over.

Next he will face the impact of "Thieves League 2".

At zero o'clock on the 25th, "Rogue 2" started drawing nationwide on time.

It has been 3 years since the first "Thieves" was released.

The promotional slogan of "Alliance of Thieves 2" is: "Three-year agreement, start again!" "New lineup, reload attack!"

The selling point of "Thieves 2" is not only the more intense and exciting action design, but also the application of various high-tech means.

During the treasure hunting process, the protagonist group will show the audience a variety of high-tech treasure hunting tools.

Cheng Yu'an got the zero-screen score of "Thieves 2" early the next morning - 1282 million, surpassing the zero-screen box office record of 762 million set by "One Step Away".

Steady!

Cheng Yu'an was determined.

Cheng Yuan watched the morning news while eating breakfast.

Liu Yifei was still sleeping.

The little guy made a lot of noise at night, so Liu Yifei simply slept with his daughter in the nursery.

But after Cheng Yu'an had breakfast, he saw Liu Yifei had washed up.

"Why don't you get more sleep?"

"I can't stay in bed anymore. I want to get rid of this problem. I sleep until 10 o'clock every day. I'm afraid that I will fall asleep." Liu Yifei sat down opposite Cheng Yu'an, poured a glass of warm water, and began to eat breakfast.

"How's the grade?"

"The zero field is nearly 1300 million, so it should be no problem."

"I heard that the first two days of "A Chinese Ghost Story" were quite hot."

"It's useless. They publicized several media and ticketing websites, but word of mouth is almost out of control. In two days, Douban has been marked by 5 people, and their background shows that most of them rated it below 3 stars. Douban will split today, and its influence will spread further.”

"Is it really that bad?"

"Don't ask me, I haven't watched it either." Cheng Yu'an smiled, "But Lu Han is not suitable for acting, it's good to be an idol obediently."

Director Chen Zhengdao is good. Under his direction, the camera and setting of "A Chinese Ghost Story" should not be a problem. It depends on whether the two actors can perform well.

"Where are you going today?" Cheng Yu'an asked his wife before leaving the house.

"I took Qiqi to the gym to play today, it's not good to stay at home all the time."

"Okay," kissed his wife goodbye, "I'll pick you up at the gym tonight."
