I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 215 Summer File: Midnight Competition

The midnight show has always been an important statistic when a new movie is first released, including box office word-of-mouth attendance and so on.On the night of June 26th, the three films that will be released tomorrow will take the lead in competing in the midnight show.

In a Wanda cinema in Shanghai, Zhao Meili and Si Jiayi, Li He's number one fans, naturally went to support Li He's new movie "Interstellar".Although Lee Hyuk only played a small supporting role, this is also a symbol of Lee Hyuk's internationalization.

"Jiayi, how about we watch "The Breakup Master" tomorrow?" Zhao Meili took popcorn and shared it with her best friend.

There are still more than 20 minutes before the movie starts. This movie theater has a good location. It is almost twelve o'clock in the morning, and there are still people coming and going, most of them are movie fans who came to watch the midnight show.

Si Jiayi ate popcorn and drank milk tea, and said, "You don't hate Da Mi Mi the most, you hate her for taking Chi Chi away."

"Oh, it's different this time. Look at how well the name of this movie was chosen, "The Breakup Master"..." Zhao Meili said.

"Tch, it's just the name of the movie. They didn't really break up, so don't even think about it. You already have children. Do you want Chichi to be a single father?" Si Jiayi was a little speechless about her best friend's thoughts.

"That's right, forget it, let them fit together for now, and break up and not eat when the children grow up." Zhao Meili fell into fantasy.

A movie theater in Beijing was also overcrowded at this time, and Gao Siji and his girlfriend came to watch a movie together.Because of Li Hyuk's film relationship, although the two are not fans of Li Hyuk, they will come to support Li Hyuk's new movie when it is released, but Gao Siji is also a loyal fan of the Transformers series, so he is a little hesitant .

"Honey, hurry up and decide which movie to watch?" the girlfriend urged.

Gao Siji fell into the difficulty of choosing and threw the question to his girlfriend: "Which movie do you think we should go to see first?"

"If you ask me, it's not too late to see Transformers tomorrow, and the tickets for the midnight show are already sold out, hurry up and buy tickets, the tickets for "Interstellar" will be gone soon."

"Oh, okay..."

Simply put, "Interstellar" is not comparable to "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction", so it is naturally not as good as the other party in terms of attendance at midnight shows.And "The Breakup Master" is trembling between two blockbuster films, Deng Chao's wish at this time is not to lose money.

Throughout the years when Hollywood films have entered the Chinese film market, in the past few years, all Hollywood films have completed the crushing of domestic films. This situation has changed slightly in recent years.But there has never been a domestic film that has survived tenaciously among the two Hollywood super blockbusters. The environment of "The Breakup Master" is very dangerous.

After a night of anxiety, Deng Chao waited for the box office statistics of the midnight show...

"How's the box office situation?" Not only Deng Chao, but even the main creator of the big idempotence are quite concerned.

The assistant opened the report report and reported: "The box office of the midnight show was 2009.6 million, the number of screenings was 1.5, the average attendance rate was 35.6%, the audience scored B on average, and the box office ranked second."

Deng Chao breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "What about the other two films?"

The assistant continued to answer: "Transformers: Age of Extinction" earned 4 million box office, 2085.3 screenings, and an attendance rate as high as 4782%. The audience scored B- on average, and ranked first at the box office at midnight."

"Sure enough, it's a Hollywood blockbuster. The number of screenings is less than one-third of ours, but it has achieved such a high midnight box office." Reba, who followed the publicity together, said.

"It's a 3D movie, the average ticket price is higher than ours, and the attendance rate is too scary, but the word of mouth is a little bit bad." Deng Chao said.

Everyone is very helpless. "The Breakup Master" is because of the domestic film, which will be more convenient in terms of distribution. It has won 1.5 midnight shows, but it is still no match for the Autobots. It is really hard work.

Da Mimi was quite concerned about the situation of her husband's new movie, and quickly asked: "What about "Interstellar"? How is the situation?"

The assistant opened the report and continued to read: ""Interstellar" earned 1476.2 million box office, 3259 screenings, 83.4% attendance, and an average audience rating of A+."

"Hiss..." Everyone gasped, not only because of the good reputation of "Interstellar", but also because of the film's box office of 3000 million in more than 1476.2 midnight screenings. Master" chrysanthemum is not guaranteed.

"This movie has a good reputation, and it seems to have a lot of stamina!" Only Deng Chao attended the premiere, and he can tell if it's a good movie. The film critics and the media have blown up "Interstellar" before. up.

Da Mi Mi helplessly spread his hands and said: "Now you don't have to worry about losing money, but you will make fun of that annoying bastard again when you go back."

Everyone laughed, Deng Chao clapped his hands and said: "Okay everyone, now the pressure is coming, so we have to do a good job in all-round publicity, everyone, come on."

"come on……"

The crew of "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and "Interstellar" have already left China to start global promotion. After all, there is still such a big market, while "The Breakup Master" can only be played in China, and no one knows them when they go abroad. .This is also the helplessness of domestic films. It cannot be changed by one or two filmmakers alone. From the above policies to the content of film creation below, it takes hard work.

After all, Hollywood has gone international for decades, and Chinese-language films cannot catch up overnight.

Freelance writer Cheng Ji just watched "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction" last night, and he was disgusted after watching it. This is obviously a money-making work.So yesterday after Cheng Ji went back, he wrote a long film review on Douban and Weibo, scolding the film for nothing.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Autobot fans, so the two sides had a passionate match on Weibo, and many passer-by fans who had watched the movie joined in. In addition, the movie was really bad, and the Autobot fans quickly collapsed.

But Autobots fans said it well, although the movie is bad, but the box office is high.So Cheng Ji, who was out of breath, decided to watch "Interstellar" because he wanted to support good movies.

But when I watched it, it was like discovering a peerless treasure. After watching the first scene, I couldn't wait to buy a ticket for the second scene, ready to study the film clearly.

Situations like Cheng Ji are not uncommon. Although "Interstellar" is difficult to understand, it is not ugly. Movie fans repeatedly explore that gorgeous space.Regarding the gravitational waves, black holes, wormholes, planets with different wonders, time relativity, etc. in the film, fans have heatedly discussed them.

In Zhihu, Tieba, and forums, various bigwigs give their own opinions on various scientific principles in movies.At station B, apart from complaining about the other two bad movies, well-known film and television UP hosts just praised "Interstellar".

Videos such as "Thirty Things You Must Know About Interstellar Crossing", "Basic Science Principles of Interstellar Crossing" and so on have gained quite a high number of hits.

The most important thing is that the word-of-mouth of the film remains high, and there are not a few viewers who have made two or three films. Under such circumstances, the competition for the box office of the three films in the first week has become complicated and confusing.
