Chapter 102 Box Office and Word of Mouth

The two media departments of Huaying Media and Times Pictures joined forces, so the next day, the headlines of the major entertainment sections were all about "Wuwen Xidong".

"The box office on the first day was 2700 million, and the Christmas file of "Wuwen Xidong" has reached the top!"

"The most tear-jerking blockbuster in history is coming, with a score of 8.1 on the Petal Forum, "Wuwen Xidong" is a good movie you can't miss this winter!"

"Christmas box office myth, "Wuwen Xidong" is on the rise, and it is expected to be comparable to "After the Earthquake"!"

""The Thief Raiders" received mediocre reviews, the story was criticized as old-fashioned and uninspiring, and the box office ratings were crushed by "Wuwen Xidong"."

Whenever it comes to the movie schedule, it is the time when the major movie investors announce their efforts behind the scenes.

Especially in the first three days before the film is released, maintaining word of mouth is the most important thing!

The box office on the first day can definitely be used as the most important reference data when word of mouth has not had time to ferment.

Even if Times Pictures and Huaying Media don't make a lot of publicity, the first-day box office of "Wuwen Xidong" is enough to make the capital circle pay attention.

2700 million on the first day, which is still a working day, such a result can be ranked first in the Spring Festival file!
It is really shocking that a literary film can achieve such an astonishing record.

But "Wuwen Xidong" exploded not only at the box office, but also by word of mouth.

After a day of fermenting, the discussion on this movie on the newsletter is very high, and the reviews are also very positive.

"I'm glad I was able to walk into the cinema and watch a story like "Wuwen Xidong"."

"It's really touching. The stories of the four eras. Persevere in studies, patriotism, love, and kindness. No matter what kind of difficulties they face, they have managed to love what you love, no matter what."

"Now I believe the Internet rumors that Wei Xun moved Zhai Qing with this story. I cried miserably in the cinema, okay?"

"It's so surprising. Wei Xun wrote the script. Does the Shanghai Film Festival really not consider giving him a nomination for Best Screenplay?"

"And the Shen Guangyao played by Wei Xun is also very good. I am not touched by the rest of the stories. Only the story of Shen Guangyao's character made me cry."

"I strongly recommend everyone to go to the cinema to watch "Wu Wen Xi Dong", you will definitely not regret it!"

On 12.22, following the release of several movies yesterday, the box office and ratings of other movies began to be revealed on the Internet.

"Story of the Thief" had a box office of 1200 million on its first day, with a score of 6.9.

The box office of "Evolutionary Boyfriend" was 800 million on the first day, with a score of 7.2.

The box office of "Heartbeat Bang Bang Bang" was 700 million on the first day.Rating 7.3.

Comparing the four films, whether it is box office or word of mouth, "Wuwen Xidong" completely crushed it!
In particular, there are still grievances between Tianguang Media's "Story of the Thief" and "Wuwen Xidong" starring Wei Xun's screenwriter.

In the lawsuit in August, Wei Xun won the lawsuit against Tianguang, and in a blink of an eye, he rubbed his old club's movie on the ground during the Christmas box office, and many people were watching the excitement.

"I guess Xun Xun must be laughing at home right now."

"Skylight Media deserves it. If they had trained Wei Xun well, they wouldn't be so ashamed now."

"If Wei Xun is still in Tianguang, then today's "Wuwen Xidong" will make Tianguang Media a lot of money."

"I don't know how Skylight Media's shareholders are feeling right now."

"How can I feel sour, haha."

Mao Bin doesn't know how the shareholders of Skylight Media are feeling now, but he is in a good mood now.

Wei Xun's house.

Mao Bin made the calculations in his mind, and said excitedly: "Brother Xun, according to this trend, the box office of "Wuwen Xidong" will definitely take off."

Yes, it is indeed taking off.

Last year, Dynasty Entertainment's "After the Earthquake", which was the box office champion of domestic films, had a box office of 3600 million on the first day, and finally harvested a total box office of 6.9 million.

Calculated in this way, the total box office of "Wuwen Xidong" is definitely not far behind!
Ever since Wei Xun signed a guarantee contract of [-] million yuan to Times Pictures, Mao Bin was also trembling with fear every day.

Now "Wuwen Xidong" has a good box office on the first day, the basic market has been stabilized, and it can still beat "Story of the Thief", which can be described as a fierce breath of anger!
Wei Xun laughed and said, "It's still too early to make a conclusion. There are many variables in the competition for the movie box office."

Mao Bin said very relieved: "No matter what the variables are, at least Skylight Media's "Strategy of the Thief" was hanged and beaten by us."

Half a year ago, Wei Xun once threatened to hit two films of Shen Tianguang Media in the small meeting room of the crew of "Wu Wen Xi Dong".

At that time, Mao Bin was shocked by Wei Xun's thoughts, but he inevitably had no idea.

Hu Zhengxin, Shao Bing, Jiang Duzhou and others probably had no hope for Wei Xun.

The reason why Times Pictures is willing to cooperate with Wei Xun is entirely because of the guarantee of the [-] million box office.

Now half a year has passed, "Wuwen Xidong" has only been released for one day, and it has shown an amazing momentum!
In particular, "Wuwen Xidong" is still giving up profit points with the theaters. Today, during the day, the film schedule of "Story of the Thief" has actually been cut sharply!

In this way, whether the more than 3000 million invested by Tianguang Media can be paid back is another matter.

"Wuwen Xidong" hit the first step of "The Thief Raiders" plan, a perfect start!

Almost half of the filming was slashed, and Tianguan Media immediately received the news.

In the CEO's office of Skylight Media, CEO Hang Gaoyang and Vice President Li Tianzhi were discussing countermeasures.

"The news I received is that "Wuwen Xidong" promised to give profit points to the theaters. I can't find out how much they have given up."

Li Tianzhi said with a gloomy face: "Boss Hang, should we also consider giving up some of the profits?"

The tradition of tearing up movies by giving profits to theaters is very common in box office wars.

But "Wuwen Xidong" has already ranked first in the box office, and now it is greedy to give up profits and crazily tear up the film, it is clear that it wants to monopolize the big Christmas cake.

If the opponent is allowed to continue, then "Strategy of the Thief" will really fall into Tian Guang's hands this time.

Not to mention that "Wuwen Xidong" was still written by Wei Xun. Tianguang Media just lost the lawsuit, and now it has lost the box office reputation, which is really too embarrassing.

Li Tianzhi has already anticipated how optimistic the industry will be when Tianguang is mentioned recently.

"Giving profit? The box office of "Wuwen Xidong" on the first day is more than twice that of ours. That is to say, no matter how much profit they give up, we have to give up at least three times. Can we afford it?"

Hang Gaoyang's face was also ugly. He sighed and said, "I never thought that we would miss this Wei Xun one after another and stumble."

Li Tianzhi opened his mouth when he heard the words. Just as he was about to speak, a phone call came in.

He glanced at Hang Gaoyang, then took out his mobile phone to connect, and said, "What's wrong?"

The call was from Luo Feng.

"Mr. Li, I found some news about the crew of "Wuwen Xidong". A few months ago, Wei Xun fired a photographer."

Luo Feng said in a low voice: "According to what the photographer said, the film "Wuwen Xidong" was not filmed by Qi Jibai at all, but Wei Xun made it up by himself in the film crew."

"Wuwen Xidong" was actually filmed by Wei Xun himself!
how can that be!

When will Wei Xun still have the ability to be a director? Isn't this just nonsense?
Li Tianzhi felt a little unbelievable when he heard the words, but soon he realized that there was an opportunity to fight back, so he hurriedly asked, "Is there any definite evidence?"

On the other side of the phone, Luo Feng quickly said: "Yes, the photographer has a video in his hand, and the asking price is 50."

Li Tianzhi looked up at Hang Gaoyang.

Hang Gaoyang nodded.

So Li Tianzhi said coldly, "Buy it."
