From traffic to movie star

Chapter 188 1.2 million pre-sale box office? (Add more updates for the leader 'Octopus Hungry Dad')
When Wei Xun had not returned from filming "Wolf Warrior" in the semi-primitive forest of Kazan, the film "Once Upon a Time" directed by Chen Ying began to contact with major theaters to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Strange to say, this small-budget love movie with only 3000 million investment has a horrifying investment in publicity and distribution.

According to incomplete statistics, the advertising investment of "Once Upon a Time" is at least three times more than the production investment of the film itself.

In March and April, from the headlines on the Internet, to the subway bus stop signs, LED screens in shopping malls, and huge promotional posters in movie theaters, "Once Upon a Time Us" was everywhere.

Xiaohuadan Ruan Xi from Times Pictures, and Jiang Chen, who has just joined Dynasty Entertainment, are the leading actors and actresses. This is a film with handsome men and beautiful women. The poster is excellent, and the trailer is also very nostalgic.

Coupled with Chen Ying's golden song "Once Upon a Time", which has been popular all over the country and has been sung for more than ten years, when the familiar melody sounds, it really brings back many people's memories.

The current film industry has not yet reached the age of complete expansion, and the Dragon Boat Festival is only a moderate period, and there are not many movies that can be hit during the same period, so "Once Upon a Time" is enough to stand out from the crowd at this time.

No theater chain will refuse admission to this film.

Even Dynasty Entertainment's ticket buying gang did their best to contract the pre-sale of tickets for the premiere of "Once Upon a Time".

All of this is enough to show that Chen Ying, the Queen of Heaven, is going to achieve impressive results for the first time as a director across the border.

Jiang Chen's fans raised their eyebrows again, looking forward to the big hit after the movie was released, and proud of their old rival Wei Xun.

Of course, Wei Xun's fans do not admit that there is such a low-level opponent, it's just that Jiang Chen's fans unilaterally backed it.

Viewing the pool theater, film arrangement manager's office.

Xiang Yang gave "Once upon a Time" 40.00% of the schedule of the Dragon Boat Festival in Guanchi Cinemas to "Once Upon a Time", but met with opposition from Chi Tang for the first time.

"Mr. Xiang, have you seen this movie?"

Chi Tang knocked on Xiangyang's office with the schedule sheet, and said, "I think your schedule for "Once Upon a Time" is unreasonable."

Xiang Yang didn't get angry, but said, "I've seen it, and the quality of this movie is average, or even terrible."

Chi Tang asked back: "Since that's the case, why did you arrange so many films for it?"

"Xiaotang, I remember you told me last year that we are the theater chain. For us, no matter whether the quality of the movie is good or bad, as long as it can make money, it is a good movie for us."

Xiang Yang said: "This is the case with 'Once Upon a Time'. Yesterday, the film was screened on a small scale and took in 2000 million at the box office."

Theaters rely on data to speak.

Small-scale screening, 2000 million box office, such a result is amazing.

Hearing this, Chi Tang recalled what Wei Xun told him when he went to Kazan, and retorted: "But..."

"Okay, you don't need to talk about it. I guess Wei Xun told you that there is something wrong with "Once Upon a Time", right?"

Xiang Yang interrupted Chi Tang and said, "You talked about this issue with Boss Chi at home, and Boss Chi also talked to me later. All the data on my side can prove that the box office of "Once Upon a Time" will definitely not be low. There is even a high probability that it will explode. Chi Tang, I hope you can respect my work, respect your boss, and not be emotional here. As far as I know, Panda Tickets was suppressed by the Ticket Gang, "Once Upon a Time Us" It is only allocated to the 500 million online box office of Panda Tickets, so..."

"So you think Wei Xun is dissatisfied with "Once Upon a Time", and doesn't want Guanchi to fully support this movie?"

Chi Tang finished speaking first, and said flatly: "He is not such a person, anyway, I have already passed on the words, whether you listen or not is up to Mr. Xiang."

After finishing speaking, Chi Tang walked out of Xiangyang's office with a depressed expression on his face.

In fact, she was also a little dazed at the moment.

Before Wei Xun went to Kazan, he had a phone call with her and gently reminded that there was a problem with "Once Upon a Time", and Guanchi had better avoid it if he could.

Chi Tang talked with Chi Sheng about this issue.

But neither father nor daughter found any problems. On the contrary, the performance data of "Once Upon a Time" is very good, and there are no problems that need to be avoided.

So it's no wonder that Xiang Yang insists on his own opinion.

Maybe Wei Xun thought too much, Chi Tang could only comfort himself in his heart, after all, everyone sometimes makes mistakes in judgment.

And because Xiang Yang was the filming manager, he made the decision, and Chi Sheng would not intervene under normal circumstances, so Chi Tang originally wanted to call Wei Xun again to ask questions, but in the end he didn't.

Anyway, Xiang Yang couldn't change his decision even after making this phone call, so let's leave it at that.

In case Wei Xun is thankless.

Next, after the small screening of "Once Upon a Time", all the media, including film critics, praised it.

The queen, Chen Ying, came out again after being away from the entertainment industry for many years. Her appearance is still as gentle and beautiful as before. She brought the male and female protagonists Ruan Xi and Jiang Chen to do promotional roadshows for the film in advance. Every time she goes to a city, she can attract a large number of nostalgic crowds. Fans from the past came to support and listened to Diva's live performance of "Once Upon a Time", and many fans were choked up and weeping.

It turns out that almost 20 years have passed in a flash, the goddess Tianhou is still beautiful, but many people are old.

Under such overwhelming hype, the momentum of "Once Upon a Time" is getting stronger and stronger, and the ticket buying gang has opened up all theater channels to pre-sell the movie in advance of its official release.

After the pre-sale of "Once Upon a Time" started, the box office data soared all the way, including the melon eaters, entertainment media, industry peers, and even theaters.

1000 million, 2000 million, 3000 million, its pre-sale box office is accumulating at a terrifying rate, which is so terrible that it is staggering.

Until a week later, the pre-sale box office of "Once Upon a Time" broke through the [-] million mark!
Some experts asserted that the pre-sale box office of this movie could reach at least 1.2 million the day before its release!Before it was released, it broke the box office record in the Chinese film market.

The first film whose pre-sale box office exceeded [-] million was born!
With such a horrible result, the colleagues in the entire film circle who watched it doubted their lives.

"Charlotte Annoyance" is a result of Wei Xun relying on crazy discounts at 9.9 o'clock screenings, coupled with the ferment of word-of-mouth on a large scale of screenings before the film's official release, and multiple reasons for the second ticket supplement to pry out the box office of 8000 million on the first day. break through 15 billion.

So how can "Once upon a time" have a pre-sale box office of 1.2 million?

It doesn't make sense at all!

Could it be based on the appeal of more than a dozen road shows by Tianhou Chen Ying?Or a nostalgic hit "Once Upon a Time" that everyone went to the cinema to buy tickets?

The box office of the movie is so good, right? Lin Zi, the mentor of "The Voice", who is also a queen, can also copy a movie that exploded at the box office by relying on her hit song of the year?

People in the industry have sniffed something is wrong, but all the data show that there is nothing wrong.

And the horror pre-sale box office of 1.2 million made "Once Upon a Time" successfully open the doors of all theaters, and got a 74% horror screening rate!

Wei Xun returned to Beijing from the semi-primitive forest in Kazan. After seeing the news, he called Gu Changming into the office and said with a smile, "Old Gu, the ticket buying gang is about to die. I will give you the task. You did it. how's it going?"

　ps: Thanks to the big guy 'Snowflakes Flying in the Sky' for the reward, it was a waste of money.
