The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 565 The "Eagle's Difficult Money" Failed and Was Ravaged

""My Robot Girlfriend" is head-to-head with Dreamworks' special effects blockbuster. It easily breaks through the tens of millions mark at the opening box office. The leading actor Bao Beier is finally able to play his own role. He really is a lucky star...

The box office of the new film broke 2000 million on the first day, and it has been enthusiastically received by the audience. Today, the full box office is expected to receive 2300 million, and there will be a small peak tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. There is a chance to break 3 million in the first weekend. Expect.

...Bao Beier has been criticized by the outside world in the film industry before, either because his acting skills are not good or he is suspected of not being able to handle the box office. In fact, he is a powerful artist, and his potential is obvious to all. In the past two years, he has Submitting explosive results proved myself..."

"Hurry up and contact Bee Colony Culture to withdraw the manuscript..."

"Don't withdraw it? You can't get the deposit back."

"Then change it, and send them a new copy before they send it out."

"...Delete the two paragraphs of lucky star and powerful artist?"

Bao Beier looked at the marketing director in front of him speechlessly: "Reserve these two paragraphs, change the box office... the first weekend for three days..."

He turned to Yang Yuxiang, one of the producers of "My Robot Girlfriend", and asked, "According to the current situation, how much can we get at the box office?"

Yang Yuxiang was silent for a while, and said, "The three days of the first weekend will probably have... 5000 million? The total box office may have a chance... to exceed [-] million?"

"It's only broken 3 million?" Bao Beier looked in disbelief: "Even if the platform's forecast is excluded, Jianghe's earliest forecast was [-] million, right?"

It's hard to break through [-] million.

Yang Yuxiang didn't continue to provoke the other party: "Mr. Sun from Jianghe also called me in the morning, and the performance of "Sky Eagle Warrior" somewhat exceeded expectations. I didn't expect the audience to be so popular with this type of movie."

"My Robot Girlfriend" is a remake of a sci-fi romantic comedy film led by Bao Beier.

Of course, due to the weak financial resources of the company, Jianghe Culture was approached, and Jianghe Culture took the lead, and the two companies jointly produced it.

Originally, for this movie with a cost of only 2500 million, the box office pressure is actually not that great. Of course, anyone can do daydreams with small and big dreams, especially in the field of comedy.

Bao Beier wanted to take the route of the bankrupt version of Xu Zheng, playing the role of an ugly little guy who is down from the middle class in the city.

Although the box office of the previous two films was not satisfactory, and the popularity of the audience was not very high, he still did not give up. Coupled with his good popularity in the entertainment industry, he has good personal relationships with many directors, producers and executives of Jianghe. However, Jianghe is still willing to bet on this potential stock.

After all, if they really want to hold out the second Xu Zheng, or Wang Baoqiang, even Huang Bo, they will make a lot of money.

Moreover, this movie combines sci-fi, comedy, and romance. Jiang He and Bao Beier's market expectations for "Robot Girlfriend" are really high, especially since Jiang He is planning to put this movie in the summer.

Jiang He's initial forecast was 3 million RMB. If it can be realized, this will also become Bao Beier's highest-grossing starring movie. downturn.

And when "Sky Eagle Warrior" had a problem with word of mouth during the screening, and was frequently complained by fans of the original animation, Jiang He naturally saw the opportunity, and joined in like other colleagues to add fuel to the flames, hoping to make a fortune.

"Robot Girlfriend" was screened six days later than "Skyhawk Warrior". If "Skyhawk Warrior" has problems with word-of-mouth and affects the box office curve, "Robot Girlfriend" is of course a beneficiary.

Jangho even doubled its box office forecast for the film, believing that it is expected to reach more than 6 million.

This is still conservative. In terms of the conversation between Bao Beier and Yang Yuxiang and the company's internal tone, it even aims at a box office scale of more than 10 billion.

After all, the suspense film "Manslaughter", which was also a remake last year, earned nearly 10 billion at the box office, and it was also won under the influence of "Matrix III".

The comedy, sci-fi and romance of "Robot Girlfriend" should be more pleasing.

Under such optimistic expectations, Jangho added an additional 2000 million in publicity and distribution costs, and the cost of production plus publicity and distribution also exceeded 6000 million.

But I didn't expect that the word-of-mouth of "Skyhawk Warrior" quickly reversed and even exploded after the release. After the first day it got 2.6 million box office, it directly rose to 3.2 million the next day, and it reported 5.8 million in two days on the weekend.

And it seems to have detonated a movie-watching craze together, such as "men's fairy tales", "the special effects film of childhood The return of the king" and so on, and "I can already imagine that Ultraman/xxx was made into a special effects blockbuster The scene is gone" Such a statement.

The announcement of DreamWorks also shamelessly touched the porcelain at home and abroad, especially Dongying's special photos and animation works related to mechs and monsters.

So when it came to the working day, the proportion of the film schedule not only did not decrease, but increased day by day, from 50% on the first day of release to more than 60%, until the day before the release of "Robot Girlfriend", "Skyhawk Warrior" was released It still won 1.7 million box office, accounting for 89% of the box office, and there is no obvious sign of decline.

The film schedule for the premiere of "Robot Girlfriend" has been cut again and again since the release of "Skyhawk Warrior". Unexpectedly, as a result of doubling the publicity and distribution funds, only 20% of the film schedules were finally obtained.

The box office on the first day only got 2300 million, and the pre-sale is quite pessimistic. It stands to reason that the box office on Saturday should be higher than the premiere day on Friday, but according to the current pre-sale and film schedule, the box office will be big tomorrow. diving.

The box office was 5000 million in the first weekend, and the final box office exceeded [-] million because Yang Yuxiang didn't want to stimulate the boss's mouth.

"A brainless action movie can sell so well, you say that the DreamWorks brand is so effective? The audience in our country has a low level of aesthetics. Isn't this an alternative A movie? When will everyone know the most important thing about a movie? Is it a plot?
Not only the audience, but also the media who are playing with the wind, I admit that DreamWorks has produced many good movies in the past, but bad is bad, good is good, you can’t just make mistakes because of what happened before, right?What DreamWorks has done under the navy is really insightful.

Look at the forums, many anime fans have started to lament that DreamWorks ruined the classics, and even lost their fans, but there is no voice, and the media does not report it. If you ask me, Mr. Jiang Hetian is too unkind. DreamWorks is a troll You are so arrogant and don't fight back?It deserves to be the bottom of the six..."

Listening to Bao Beier's complaint, Yang Yuxiang pursed his lips, feeling speechless for a while.

It's a brainless action movie, and you haven't seen how brainy this movie is?
As the producer representing Bao Beier Company, Yang Yuxiang knows the quality of this "Robot Girlfriend" very well, but how should I put it, everyone doesn't pay much attention to the quality, they are all discussing whether the subject matter is right and whether the comedy elements are enough , how to announce it.

In fact, in his opinion, even without "Aquila", "Robot Girlfriend" would have dropped at the box office.

If you want to play "Skyhawk Warrior", it's hard to get rich. First of all, the quality is higher than others, right?

But in fact, Douban has not yet scored, and according to Jianghe's request, the movie will not be scored within a week of its release, but according to the internal data obtained, "Robot Girlfriend" may have the highest score, which is "Skyhawk Warrior" come over.

His 8.5, your 5.8 are all thanks to Jangho's marketing investment.

As for the plot and not the plot, "Robot Girlfriend" is also a remake, and it is a pixel-level remake with the insertion of comedy jokes. It is a clumsy remake that does not consider reasonable localization at all. How dare you criticize others?

The innovative elements that are reluctantly added are still learning from DreamWorks’ brain hole science fiction, playing with the time element, playing with the end-to-end echo reversal, changing this timeline, that timeline, and the result is a bunch of bugs, which belong to comedy, science fiction, love, brain-burning, etc. I want to, but people are addicted to vegetables.

But Yang Yuxiang can also understand Bao Beier's mood at this time.

Ever since the word-of-mouth problems were exposed at the screening of "Sky Eagle Warrior", Bao Beier has become an anime fan, looking for comments on the anime forums on the Internet every day that are dissatisfied with the movie.

Even after "Skyhawk Warrior" was officially released, the mainstream word-of-mouth turned around, Bao Beier still kept reading those comments and movie reviews that criticized "Skyhawk Warrior".

What is not nutritious, brainless action movies, and alternative AVs, these are all obtained from these film reviews.

In layman's terms, it means falling into an information cocoon.

It may be that the previous fantasy was too good, and the reduction from 10 billion to 1 million is of course unacceptable.

The popularity of "Skyhawk Warrior" not only made the competitors a little hard to accept, but even Chen Jingxing and the inside of DreamWorks were also a little surprised.

After all, DreamWorks was not a movie without mecha elements in the past. "Edge of Tomorrow" can be regarded as half a mecha movie, and "District [-]" also includes a lot of mecha battles.

In fact, a story like "The Ninth District" was able to get a box office of more than 15 billion in the domestic non-popular schedule, largely because of the two mecha battle scenes in the movie. In the domestic publicity at that time, Mecha combat and the Cannes Palme d'Or are the focus of the announcement.

However, there is still a big difference between fighting with a behemoth of nearly [-] meters like "Skyhawk Warrior".

In a way, it's like a special effects blockbuster version of a special film.

Audiences in Huaguo are more interested in such themes than those in Europe and the United States. After all, many audiences have feelings for special films. The production of special effects in the special film processing industry can not only evoke feelings, but also show the expressive power that special films cannot match. , can be described as a perfect fusion.

Moreover, it is the first film of this kind in China, which naturally became a box office bomb on the basis of the audio-visual language and smooth story.
