The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 157

8月31日晚上11点50，距离9月1号还有10分钟。

The pre-sale of "Scorching Sun" will start soon.

Cao Baoping nervously watched the data in the background.

It's not just him, Hong Chen, Duan Hong, Guo Tao and others are all silently watching the film's pre-sale period.

In this kind of scene, they can't help but feel a little uneasy.

The pre-sale results reflect the movie's box office trend to a certain extent.The most important thing is that the pre-sale results will affect the movie's screening rate.

The theater determines the schedule according to the popularity of a movie.

At Qianda Pictures, Liu He, a staff member, is preparing to start the pre-sale of "Scorching Sun", "Dream Music Circle", and "Nine-story Demon Tower".

The pre-sale time of the three films is the same.

The Mid-Autumn festival is also a good time, and the pre-sale period is generally very popular.Judging from the current situation, the pre-sale of "Dream Music Circle" should be the most popular because of the pre-publicity.

Liu He looked at the countdown, feeling a little nervous.

In the early morning of September 9st, he pressed the button to start the pre-sale.

From this second, the pre-sale data of the three box offices began to change.

Liu He looked at the pre-sale box office of the three movies, his expression gradually changed, and then his eyes widened.

"Really?" He was slightly dazed.

The data of the three movies began to jump at the same time, and the fastest rising among them was "Scorching Sun"!
How can this be?

Liu He has a hobby of playing Douyin. When he is watching short videos to relax, what he sees most is the advertisement of "Dream Music Circle".

Because it is a new movie, he will also go in curiously to read people's comments.

The reviews are all positive.

"Young people chasing their dreams, come on."

"Is it a movie about music? I'm looking forward to it."

"It must be very good-looking, the leading brother is super handsome."

Therefore, he thought in his heart that this Mid-Autumn festival "Chasing Dream Showbiz" is about to explode.

But now it seems that it was surpassed by the "Scorching Sun" that has not heard of much publicity!
And the data of "Scorching Sun" is very scary.

In 10 minutes, the pre-sale exceeded 500 million!
In half an hour, the pre-sale exceeded 2000 million!
Three hours later, it broke [-] million!

Breaking [-] million!

The Mid-Autumn festival is different from the Spring Festival and the National Day, and the box office is generally slightly lower than the other two.

The best record in the past is that after almost a whole night, the pre-sale box office reached about 1 million.

Now this record was achieved by "Scorching Sun" in three hours.

How can this be?

After another three hours, the pre-sale box office of "Scorching Sun" was sold out, and all the tickets were sold out.

According to the popularity of the previous films, Qianda Films ranked 1.5 million tickets for "Scorching Sun", which is the five-day pre-sale period. Qianda Films estimates that this film is almost the same as the pre-sale results.

But now, before the night has passed, the entire ticket warehouse has been emptied.

Liquidated!
Liu He was stunned.

Liquidation on the first night?
How can this be?

That night, Cao Baoping was stunned when he saw the pre-sale box office.

What's the situation?
Breaking through [-] million so soon?
To be honest, Cao Baoping is a great director, and the movies he has made have a good reputation and good box office results, but there are very few box office hits.

Because of his film style and talent selection vision, the box office has been limited to a certain extent.

It is undeniable that although the acting skills of some traffic small fresh meat are average, they can indeed bring box office.This is also the fundamental reason why the current entertainment industry has entered a vicious circle.

When Cao Baoping chooses a role, he always starts from the perspective of whether the actor is suitable for the role and whether he can play the role well.

The same is true for the filming of "Scorching Sun".

But he overlooked one detail.

That was Hong Chen's box office appeal.

When "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Hong Chen was already deeply loved by people, and fans even widely publicized his works, which became the so-called "tap water".

It is to voluntarily help your idol as a sailor and advertise for your idol.

Although "Detective Chinatown" is not that classic, its word of mouth maintained a score of 7.8, and its box office performance was good, and it was also recognized by people.

Including the movies that Hong Chen made before, they were all good.

As a result, people gradually came to a realization that Hong Chen's movie should be a good movie.

This is the benefit of taking the boutique route.

For example, there is a great god in the director world, Cameron.

Self-written and directed science fiction film "Terminator" became famous.

"Titanic" dominated the world's highest-grossing box office for more than 20 years.

As the first 3D movie, "Avatar" once again created a box office myth.

Therefore, people will subconsciously think that the movies made by Cameron are worth watching and must be watched.

In the film and television industry, there are Huang Bo, Wu Zhan and others. When they hear that they have a new movie, people will think it is a good movie.

Hong Chen already had such a reputation now.

In professional terms, Hong Chen is already capable of carrying a movie's box office.

With this point, it shows that he has officially entered the ranks of the first line!

Cao Baoping still couldn't believe it at this moment, but the excitement in his heart couldn't be concealed.

He opened the comments under the movie's pre-sale box office and found that most of the people came for Hong Chen.

"Brother Hong Chen's movie, support!"

"Hong Chen has released a new movie, let's take a look!"

"Hong Chen and Duan Hong, I feel that this movie will definitely not be bad, come and support me!"

"The scorching sun, gangster movie, watch it before commenting!"

It was only at this time that Cao Baoping realized that it was this feeling to hire an actor with a lot of traffic.

No wonder, those people would rather spend 50% of the budget on hiring actors, rather than down-to-earth filming.

It's really easy to get money like this.

However, he will still stick to his heart.

He once had the experience of cooperating with a popular actress who just played a cameo role as a beautiful woman with a few dance moves.It took him a long time to teach one, and he almost pissed himself off.

Therefore, he knew that he couldn't invite traffic stars to fool around like other directors did.

On the other hand, Hong Chen was a little surprised when he saw the pre-sale box office.

He went to one of his fan groups to see, and the fan group was full of carnival.

""Scorching Sun" broke [-] million in three hours, brother Hong Chen is too good!"

"God, I saw it too, it's exaggerated."

"I'm touched, as expected of my idol, I have supported him for a year and a half, and he has never let us down!"

"Hurry up, I can't wait!"

"This box office appeal, no one else!"

"What? I just saw why I went to grab the tickets and it showed that the tickets were sold out!"

"Haha, I told you not to buy it early."

Seeing the fans' support, Hong Chen also felt a little warm in his heart.

In general, this night, the pre-sale of "Scorching Sun" caused a huge wave on the Internet.

This movie was all the rage for a while!
