Actor: I picked up attributes on the set
Chapter 191 Box office battle, the dragon-seeking formula explodes!
Chapter 191 Box office battle, the dragon-seeking formula explodes!
There is still one month left before the National Day schedule.
Just after the three films "Grand Trail", "Looking for the Dragon" and "Mekong River" were confirmed to be on the same stage, the press conference of "Ace Playing Ace" starring Hua Tsai and Huang Jiaozhu also held a press conference two days ago , officially announced that the film will be released during the National Day schedule.
This made the atmosphere tense again during the National Day schedule, which was already quite competitive.
As the group army that captured the first echelon of the movie box office during the National Day schedule, the distributors of the four movies can be said to be the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, each showing their own talents. Since the beginning of September, they have been promoting the movies through various means such as buying popular searches, creating topics, and releasing movie trailers.
During this month, four movies took turns to be on the hot searches.
There is quite a posture of you singing and I will appear on the stage, but from the beginning to the end, the three movies have not been able to shake "Grand Trail"'s number one position on the hot search list.
Although Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Peng Yuyan, Hua Tsai and other actors have many fans, on social software such as Weibo, fans of other traffic stars are fighting in the local area. Character design, a combination of punches, all kinds of topics about the protagonists of "Grand Trail" have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
It is also thanks to the solid cast of "Looking for the Dragon", relying on the two popular actors Lin Yuan and Huang Bo, after the movie "Grand Trail", it has firmly ranked second in popularity.
All four films have made great efforts in the pre-announcement and release, and no one will be outdone.
Now is no longer the era when the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. If the publicity and distribution work is not in place, I am afraid that it will be the same as last year's "Rescue Mr. My" movie.
Under such circumstances, the leading actors of the four films have not rarely appeared in front of the media recently, and Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, and Shu Qi were not spared.
Originally, the three of them were all preparing for the filming of the movie "A Good Show" in Yakushima, but they were still called back by the black director, and they organized a fan signing event temporarily, which was regarded as a ranking for the movie "Looking for the Dragon" Warm up and cooperate with the publisher's publicity work.
Time soon came to the end of September.
Except for the movie "Ace Teasing Ace" which is set on October [-]st, the other three movies are all set on September [-]th by coincidence.
the reason is simple.
September [-]th happens to be Friday, and the next day is National Day, so it can be said that it is a holiday for the whole people. The audience will have time to go to the cinema to consume that night. The release one day earlier means that they can gain more box office of the day.
In addition, it was released on September [-]. After a day of fermentation, word of mouth of the movie basically spread on the Internet. When the National Day came the next day, audiences who were still hesitating which movie to watch , Maybe after seeing the good word-of-mouth on the Internet, he made a decision directly.
It has to be said that since the audience's spending power has risen, the phenomenon of blindly following the trend has also intensified.
In the past, when audiences wanted to go to the cinema to watch a certain movie, they would read the reviews of the movie in advance. If the movie had a good reputation, they might be willing to buy a movie ticket for it.
But now, audiences are too lazy to spend time reading movie reviews. Movie reputation is not worth mentioning in front of box office results. Most audiences are willing to choose movies with more explosive box office results. , I don't care at all, anyway, movie tickets are only a pack of cigarettes now.
Under such circumstances, the first-day box office results on September [-] are particularly important for the three films "Grand Trail", "Looking for the Dragon", and "Operation Mekong".
Seeing that there are only a few days until September [-]th, the day when the movie will be released.
The distributors of the three movies also spent a lot of money on movie promotion.
In addition to the publisher's commercial promotion, another battlefield is also extremely lively nowadays.
The four "Little Times" made the director of Xiao Si famous, and at the same time brought popular stars such as Guo Biting and Chen Xuedong. It can be said that Xiao Si has completely established a firm foothold in the entertainment circle.
Now that the movie "Grand Trail" is released, Xiao Si also spares no effort to mobilize his inner circle to help promote the movie.
In this way, in addition to the starring role of the movie "Grand Trail", many traffic stars also stood in line.
"The first trailer of "Grand Trail" is officially released! Guo Dao's new fantasy work, created by the main creative team of "Little Times" with family affection! Friends, come and watch! Warmly wish Guo Dao's new work box office big wheat! Randomly draw 88 lucky koi! Comment and retweet for a chance to win a cash red envelope of 880 yuan! @郭道,@创起电影官方微博.”
"Calling for Director Guo crazily!! Guo's products must be high-quality goods! As for Director Guo's name, this movie is worth looking forward to!"
"San Xiaozhi cheers for Wang Yuan. This is the first time that Wang Yuan has starred in a movie. Fans are welcome to support him. At the same time, I would like to thank Director Guo for taking care of Wang Yuan in the crew. Congratulations to Director Guo for his new film "Grand Trail". !!"
"."
Originally, the leading actors Wu Zhi, Fan Ye, Chen Weiting, Chen Xuedong and others in "Grand Trail" were top-notch stars, and their popularity was extraordinary. Now there are other traffic stars to help promote, and for a while they are popular on major social media and portal websites , The movie "Grand Trail" can be seen everywhere.
And just after these traffic stars publicly called for the movie "Grand Trail".
Celebrities such as Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, and Wang Baoqiang also joined in this huge publicity one after another.
It's just that the movie they promoted was not "Grand Trail", but "Looking for the Dragon" starring Lin Yuan and Huang Bo.
Not to mention the publisher of "Looking for the Dragon Jue" in this situation, even Lin Yuan and Huang Bo never imagined that "Grand Trail" has such a big publicity force, it is because Xiao Si mobilized his own circle Relationship, people have to help this out of emotion and reason.
However, Lin Yuan and Huang Bo never thought of troublesome friends in their circle. After all, asking people to help promote the movie is due to favors. Otherwise, every time they make a movie, they will ask others to help promote it. Well, anyone who helps them will get into trouble.
Now Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and others spontaneously help Lin Yuan and Huang Bo promote the movie "Looking for the Dragon", which is enough to prove how good the relationship between Lin Yuan and Huang Bo is in the circle.
Of course, most of the celebrities in the circle still choose to sit on the sidelines and not help each other.
Lin Yuan and Huang Bo are indeed well-known in the circle, but Fan Ye and other traffic stars are not far behind, and their relationship with Lin Yuan and Huang Bo is far inferior to that of Deng Chao and Xu Zheng. and others, and may cooperate with these traffic stars in the future.
Under such circumstances, the attitude of most celebrities in the circle is no different from that of netizens, just eat melons honestly.
With Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and other stars joining, the popularity of the movie "Looking for the Dragon" has finally increased a lot, and it has reappeared in the field of vision of netizens. By a large margin.
at the same time.
In a luxury hotel room in Shenzhen.
The first road show city of "Looking for the Dragon" crew was in Shenzhen, so Lin Yuan and others also arrived in Shenzhen two days ago and began to prepare for the road show.
Huang Bo took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and then turned his attention to Lin Yuan who was sitting on the sofa, and asked, "Did you ask Deng Chao to help promote the movie?"
Lin Yuan was also wondering. After seeing Deng Chao helping to promote "Looking for the Dragon", he made a special phone call to inquire. As a result, Deng Chao's assistant said that he was filming, so Lin Yuan still doesn't know what happened. one thing.
He shook his head and explained: "I don't know, I thought it was the film that director Wu asked your contact to help promote."
The two looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
This is strange.
After hesitating for a moment, Huang Bo took out his mobile phone and said, "I'll call Xu Zheng and ask him what's going on."
After a while, the call was connected.
Hearing Huang Bo's voice, Lin Yuan probably knew that he was asking about this matter, but how Xu Zheng answered, Lin Yuan had no idea, but saw Huang Bo who was originally puzzled and suddenly realized.
After a few minutes.
As soon as Huang Bo hung up the phone, Lin Yuan asked, "Brother Bo, what did Brother Zheng say?"
"He's a smart guy. He said he would help us promote the movie now, and when he asks us to help him promote the movie later, there is no reason to refuse." Huang Bo shook his head dumbfoundingly, but he didn't expect him to come up with such an idea.
In fact, even if Xu Zheng didn't help them promote the movie this time, when Xu Zheng's movie is released, as long as Xu Zheng says something, they will definitely help if they should help promote the movie.
The main reason why Xu Zheng said this is that he has seen through the future movie market.
In the future, the box office competition in the film market will only become more and more fierce. Now that he is selling a favorable favor, his own film will be released in the future, which is equivalent to an extra way out.
Not a while after Huang Bo finished calling Xu Zheng, Deng Chao also called Lin Yuan back.
"Hey, Brother Chao, are you still filming at this time?"
Deng Chao on the other end of the phone replied with a smile: "Isn't this about to finish and catch up with the progress? By the way, what do you want me to do, brother?"
Lin Yuan teased, "Didn't you see Brother Chao helping you to promote the movie? As a younger brother, I should care about Brother Chao."
"You talk about this." Deng Chao quickly explained: "Isn't this a movie with Peng Yuyan? When the movie was released, director Han helped to promote it. When I thought about it, then I have to help promote it. I'm going to help promote "Operation Mekong", and I will definitely not forget your movie."
That's what I said, but from the time Deng Chao promoted the two films, it can be seen which film he attaches more importance to.
Lin Yuan also pretended to be confused with understanding, and kept this favor in his heart.
After chatting with Deng Chao for a few words and hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't look at him and Huang Bo who seem to be calm on the surface, but in fact they are worried about the box office of the movie "Looking for the Dragon".
Needless to say, Huang Bo, as the holder of the highest box office in the total movie box office, as long as the box office of the next movie he makes is not big, it is very likely that he will be the first actor to win the box office of tens of billions.
With the box office of the movie "Tang Detective" worth more than one billion yuan, Lin Yuan has also entered the first echelon of competition for the box office of tens of billions. If he wants to win the box office of tens of billions, he must not only ensure that the box office of the movie will not hit the street, And there is hope for the movie to be a big hit at the box office.
Now that the movie "Grand Trail" is coming aggressively, and it looks like it is about to win the box office champion in the National Day schedule, the two of them are more or less worried.
The two of them have always been representatives of powerful actors. The leading actors of the movie "Grand Trail" are just the opposite of them. Almost all of them are traffic stars. "Trace", there must be many employers who will focus on these traffic stars in the future.
After all, they are all winners of Best Actors now, and their salary is not low in the first place.
In addition, powerful actors like them have to choose a script. If the script is not bright, basically no capable actor is willing to act.
Looking at it this way, the cost-effectiveness of asking traffic stars to make movies is immediately reflected.
The management can completely use the money left over from the script to hire two more traffic stars. With the huge fan base of traffic stars, even if the movie box office is not ideal, it will basically not lose money.
Anyway, for capital, if they want to make an award-winning movie or a movie that can make money, they will undoubtedly choose the latter.
Now that Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and other celebrities are helping to promote it, the possibility of the movie "Looking for the Dragon" finally becoming the first-day box office is much greater.
Time flies, and it's September 29th in the blink of an eye.
At twelve o'clock in the morning today, three movies will be screened in major theaters on time.
When the crews of "Operation Mekong" and "Grand Trail" held their premieres one after another, the crew of "Looking for the Dragon" did not move at all, as if they had given up the last chance to promote the film.
Originally Director Wu's idea was to hold the premiere first, and then hold the first roadshow at twelve o'clock tonight after the premiere. Anyway, there is still time to do so.
However, Director Wu's plan was rejected by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan gave his own opinion, since Director Wu is planning to start seven roadshows in a row, why not make a fuss about the roadshow?
Other movie roadshows go to the movie theater to interact with the audience before the movie is shown, so as to increase the sense of interaction with the audience, so as to create topics and expose the movie.
Then their "Looking for the Dragon" crew can completely adopt a different form. The main creators of the crew watch the movie together with the audience. Feedback, this will increase the surprise of the audience, after all, no one would have thought that the audience who sat in the theater and watched the whole movie with them turned out to be the actors in the movie.
The second is to listen to the feedback after the audience has watched the movie, which will make the audience feel that the main creative team of the film is really willing to listen to their suggestions after watching the movie, and can make the audience feel the sincerity of the main creative team of the film.
The most important thing is that the first road show is like making a nest before fishing. This method attracts the attention of netizens and lets netizens know that the crew of "Looking for the Dragon" will hold seven road shows during the National Day. After everyone knew the news, the main creative team concealed the itinerary at this time, making netizens guess which city and which movie theater the main creative team will appear in next.
At the same time, it gave netizens a psychological hint, that is, as long as they enter the cinema to watch the movie "Looking for the Dragon" during the National Day, they will have the opportunity to meet the main creative team of "Looking for the Dragon". It is a rare opportunity to get in touch with idols up close for the fans of the lead roles.
If you are lucky enough to watch a movie in the same theater as your idol, it will definitely be a good topic for netizens to talk about. Movie tickets, lottery draws on Weibo and Hupu major social networking sites, and have the opportunity to get autographs of several leading actors.
After Lin Yuan spoke out his method, he immediately got the approval of Director Wu and others.
So director Wu directly canceled the premiere that had been prepared at the beginning, and asked the theater to arrange the movie seats for the premiere, and prepared to surprise the audience who watched the premiere of "Looking for the Dragon" at Wanda Cinema in Shenzhen!
Time passed by minute by minute.
Soon it was time to check the tickets. Lin Yuan and the others put on their hats and masks, mingled in the ticket checking line, and entered the theater like ordinary audiences.
Everyone was silent, sitting in the auditorium quietly waiting for the movie to be shown, for fear that other audience members would discover their true identities.
"So excited, two of my favorite actors collaborate for the first time, and the two chefs are ecstatic!"
"It would be great if it was a comedy. I don't know how well the two of them made this adaptation of Ghost Blowing the Lantern."
"Oh, I hope it doesn't suck like "Nine-story Demon Tower"."
"Don't mention "The Nine-story Demon Tower". I have been thinking for a long time before I mustered up the courage to watch this movie. I hope Lin Yuan and Huang Bo are not so disappointed."
"The two ghost blowing lights changed works, both of which were released on National Day. I have a bad premonition."
"Don't listen, don't listen, I'm here for Yuanbao anyway, Yuanbao has made so many movies, and none of them are bad."
"."
The main creative team in the front row couldn't help but feel a lot more nervous when they heard the rustling discussions from the audience behind.
It can be seen from the audience's words that they are not optimistic about this movie.
Because the word-of-mouth of the previous "Nine-story Demon Tower", which was adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", has already reached the center of the earth, this "Looking for the Dragon" somewhat scared them.
If it weren't for Lin Yuan and Huang Bo, the leading actors, maybe they wouldn't even have the idea of going to the cinema to watch it.
Just when the audience whispered.
The advertisements on the big screen also stopped abruptly, and the familiar dragon logo appeared in front of everyone.
The movie "Looking for the Dragon" is officially screened!
The lights in the theater dimmed suddenly, and the audience's eyes all focused on the big screen.
As the list of distributors, production companies, etc. flashed on the big screen, the voice of the movie narration sounded during the switching of the screen.
"More than 1000 years ago, the dynasty split into three countries and fought non-stop"
In the screen, the three Mojin school lieutenants played by Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, and Shu Qi keep going down the rope.
There are many traps in the ancient tomb. Fortunately, the three of them cooperated tacitly and opened the ancient coffin without any risk. A thousand-year-old female corpse in red appeared in the audience's field of vision.
Seeing that the candle was about to go out, there was not much time left for the three of them. Shirley Yang at the side urged the two to leave quickly, while Hu Bayi, played by Lin Yuan, accidentally lifted the hijab of the female corpse in red. The thousand-year-old female corpse in the ancient coffin opened its eyes at this moment, revealing a smile that amazed the audience.
In the next second, under the rendering of special effects, the ancient tomb collapsed, and Lin Yuan was pulled back from the dream to reality.
In the United States, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Shirley Yang, who planned to wash their hands in the golden basin, lived ordinary lives. Movies based on "exciting" also add a lot of laughter.
By coincidence, Wang Kaixuan met the Bianhua who he had never forgotten again. He remembered his first love Ding Sitian and found that she might still be alive, so he followed Da Jinya back to the grassland, preparing to visit the thousand-year-old tomb again to find the origin of Bianhua. the truth.
On the other hand, through Hu Bayi's self-narration, he recalled the story that happened when he and Fatty Wang went to the countryside to jump in the queue on the grassland, and at the same time substituted the audience into the storyline of the movie.
In the 1205-minute movie, none of the audience left their seats to go to the toilet, and from time to time they could hear bursts of laughter and shocking cries from the audience behind them.
Judging from the reaction of the movie hall, the audience should be quite satisfied with the movie "Looking for the Dragon".
Time passed by every minute and every second. In the last kiss scene between Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang, the camera suddenly showed the panoramic view of the grassland lake, and a strange skull appeared on the screen, which made the audience feel shivering. .
With this open ending, it's hard not to make the audience wonder, did Hu Bayi and the others really escape from the ancient tomb alive?
At the same time, the big screen turned black, and the movie list slowly scrolled along with the ending song, and then the wall lamps in the theater lit up.
When the ending credits end, the movie is officially over
The audience in the theater packed up their belongings, discussed the plot of the movie, and got up to leave the theater.
However, before they got up to leave, they saw a group of people walking straight onto the stage, and at the same time, the staff of the theater moved tables and chairs.
"What is this for?"
"It's not a movie theater staff meeting, is it?"
"Let's go, what's so interesting about this."
"."
The situation on the stage obviously made the audience in the theater a little overwhelmed.
After all, the official blog of the crew of "Looking for the Dragon" has never disclosed it, and the audience never thought that the main creative team would come to the theater for a road show.
Just as the audience in the cinema hall was about to leave, director Wu introduced himself with a microphone.
"Hi everyone, I am Wu Ershan, the director of the movie "Looking for the Dragon". It is a great honor to come to the Wanda Cinema with the main creative team to watch the first movie of "Looking for the Dragon" with you. If you are free, I hope you can Take up a little time for everyone, so that we can listen closely to the feedback from the audience."
It can be seen that director Wu must have prepared a lot for the road show, and even prepared the speech script in advance.
And just after Director Wu finished introducing their identities, the audience who had been preparing for the viewing booth began to discuss in low voices one by one, and returned to their seats one after another.
It is rare to see a movie and encounter a road show with the film's main creative team.
For most of the audience at the scene, this was the first time they had such close contact with the film's main creative team.
Many viewers have already taken out their mobile phones to take pictures and show off to their friends.
Now that they have reached the stage of the road show, Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Angela and the others did not hide their identities any more. They took off their masks and hats, took the microphone from Director Wu, and introduced themselves.
Just as they introduced themselves, the entire auditorium suddenly resounded with exclamations that resounded through the theater.
The excited cheers could be vaguely heard even by the audience in the theater next door.
After the leading actors introduced themselves one after another, the microphone was once again passed into the hands of Wu Dao, who also struck while the iron was hot, asking the audience how they felt after watching the movie.
In fact, audiences who are willing to watch the first movie at this time are either fans of the leading actors, or lovers of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". Whether it is the former or the latter, they obviously have a fan filter.
Especially for fans of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", after the previous work "Nine-story Demon Tower" lowered the audience's expectations, the movie "Looking for the Dragon" is not to mention how amazing it is for them.
Not only does it present the tense and exciting sense of adventure, but also lines such as "Looking for the dragon and dividing the gold to see the mountain, one level of entanglement is one level of pass, if there are eight levels of danger when closing the door, there will be no yin and yang gossip" and other lines. They went back to when they were reading novels.
After asking around, the audience all gave positive comments.
I don't know if it's because I'm embarrassed to say bad things about the movie in front of the main creative team, or if the movie really has such a high evaluation in the eyes of the audience.
However, judging from the movie screening just now, it is clear that the former is more likely.
Director Wu also understood the psychology of the audience very well. Since he didn't have any suggestions, he ended the question-and-answer session straightforwardly. The staff brought the movie stills and marker pens, and held a small autograph session on the stage.
Seeing the opportunity to get the idol's autograph, the audience in the auditorium became more and more excited.
Watching a movie, you can not only meet the film's main creative team, but also get the idol's signed poster. Isn't this good thing for them to take over?
The movie posters are arranged according to the number of moviegoers in the theater. Every audience got a poster with the signatures of the leading actors. As for the extra dozen or so, they were reserved for the theater. After all, the person in charge of the theater is not stupid. , know how to make these dozens of extraordinary signed posters play their best value.
Finally, in the group photo with the audience in the theater, the first road show of the movie "Looking for the Dragon" ended.
By the time the roadshow ended, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.
Lin Yuan and Huang Bo and the leading actors were sitting in the commercial vehicle, ready to go back to the hotel to rest.
On the way back to the hotel, Director Wu sat in the co-pilot's seat and was full of thoughts. It seemed that the results of the first film of "Looking for the Dragon" were not ideal for him.
However, it is understandable for Director Wu to have such thoughts.
Even though the audience's response to the movie "Looking for the Dragon" is not bad, and all kinds of evaluations are mainly praises, but before the movie ticket inspection, the director Wu casually asked many tourists and found that what they bought were all It is the movie ticket of "Grand Trail", and many tourists even sat in the lobby and waited for the screening of the second movie because they did not buy the movie tickets for the first "Grand Trail".
Judging from the current situation, the word-of-mouth of the movie should be guaranteed.
But the problem is that the audience's first choice for watching movies is still the movie "Grand Trail". Under the overwhelming publicity, the herd effect is vividly displayed on the audience.
It doesn't matter whether the movie is good or not, in short, it is right to watch the movie that most audiences choose first.
Lin Yuan also noticed Director Wu's emotions, so he picked up a random topic to attract Director Wu's attention: "Director Wu, which city are we going to for the next roadshow?"
"All the way to the north, the next stop should be Changsha, Hunan." Director Wu's tone was somewhat unwilling, and after answering Lin Yuan's words, he asked: "Lin Yuan, after tonight, the whole network should know that our crew is going to perform The road show is over, do you want to announce the itinerary in advance?"
Announcing the itinerary in advance can be said to be good and bad.
The good thing is that fans of Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Angela and other leading actors can receive news in advance and prepare for support activities. When it comes to the road show, the atmosphere can be a little more enthusiastic, which is more conducive to their crew inviting the media to come and hype.
As for the disadvantage, after the itinerary is announced, the enthusiasm of the audience in other cities will be greatly reduced.
Knowing that the main creative team of "Looking for the Dragon" will not go to the city where they are located, the intention of buying tickets to enter the cinema is naturally reduced a lot.
"I think it's better not to mention our crew's itinerary." After Lin Yuan finished talking about his thoughts, he added: "However, Brother Bo, if you have different opinions, you can also bring them up for analysis."
Unsurprisingly, Lin Yuan's suggestion was approved by several leading actors.
Originally, everyone participated in the road show to fulfill their duties as the leading actors and cooperate with the promotion of the film. If the crew made their schedule public now, there would definitely be fans watching them in the theater in advance. By that time, it might not be a road show, but a fan meeting, so Huang Bo and the others also directly agreed with Lin Yuan's idea.
Since we have to go to the next roadshow city tomorrow, the main creative team members didn't talk too much. After returning to the hotel, they went back to their rooms, ready to rest and refresh themselves.
at the same time.
Just when Lin Yuan, Huang Bo and other leading actors of "Looking for the Dragon" were sleeping and resting, there was already quite a stir on the Internet.
With the three films "Grand Trail", "Looking for the Dragon" and "Operation Mekong" released on time tonight, the National Day schedule has officially kicked off.
Netizens have also shared their movie-watching experiences online. Firstly, to give other netizens some advice to prevent other netizens from contributing to the box office of bad movies. Secondly, to satisfy their own weak sense of superiority. It was hard to grab the first show. Movie tickets, don't you want to show off on the Internet?
Netizens who watched "Grand Trail" complained on the Internet one after another. When the film was promoted, it was hyped, such as the oriental "Lord of the Rings" and a domestic fantasy epic blockbuster. Only after entering the movie theater did they know what it means to say that the propaganda does not match the real thing. It can be called the bad movie of the year!
As much as you expected, you will be as disappointed after watching the movie.
The first movie "Grand Trail" had the largest number of viewers, and the more discussions about this movie.
The comments can be said to be severely polarized. For audiences with fan filters, they don’t care how the movie is made, as long as their idols can have enough roles in the movie, even after they come out of the movie theater, they are still there. Various social media exaggerated how good their idol's acting skills are.
And for those audiences who followed the trend and chose the movie "Grand Trail" at the beginning, in this 1106-minute movie, there is no one minute that is not suffering.
However, thanks to the fact that most of the people who bought the tickets for the first movie were fans of the leading actors, after the first movie screening of the movie "Grand Trail", the word-of-mouth on the Internet declined somewhat, but the impact was minimal.
In contrast to the other two films competing for the National Day box office, netizens who have watched "Operation Mekong" or "Looking for the Dragon" all said that the viewing experience is good. The former is the main theme movie, which made the audience excited and patriotic. The third is the original novel party ecstasy, whether it is the casting of the movie or the plot of the movie, it has greatly restored the original work.
However, when netizens were still discussing topics such as movie special effects, the audience who watched the first "Looking for the Dragon" at Shenzhen Wanda Cinema began to break the news on the Internet, saying that they met the main creative team of the film crew on the road show, not only with them. The movie was watched in the auditorium, and there was a question and answer session, as well as the signing session of the leading actors at the end.
After hearing the news, other netizens still couldn't believe it for a while.
It's usually like a road show for a movie crew, which time the news is not released in advance, and finally the online and offline theaters make a lot of fanfare.
It's not unheard of for roadshows to be carried out quietly, but those who choose to do so are generally small film crews, who are not well-known themselves, and just want to make a big splash, but they don't have the strength.
With such a luxurious lineup of actors like Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Angela, etc., the road show has to be carried out secretly, so how to increase the hype of the movie?
But when those audiences posted the live photos taken in the theater to the Internet, the netizens couldn't sit still.
The fact that the crew of "Looking for the Dragon" secretly conducted a road show quickly aroused heated discussions among many netizens.
Within an hour or two, when the topic gained a certain amount of heat.
The official blog of "Looking for the Dragon" also posted a news on Weibo. The content is concise and to the point, saying that the main creative team of their crew will conduct six roadshows. As long as the movie "Looking for the Dragon" is shown in theaters, the main creative team may As for the specific cities where the roadshow will appear, the official blog did not disclose.
As soon as the news came out, there was a wave of waves on the Internet.
"There are six more roadshows?!"
"Tomorrow night, I'm just going to watch Dragon Hunting Jue with my colleagues. It would be great if Lin Yuan and Huang Bo could come to Chengdu for the road show."
"I'm an insider, whoever Vs me 50, I'll share with you the detailed road show itinerary."
"Damn it, there is a chance to get Yuanbao's autographed poster after watching the movie. Is there any netizen willing to sell it? I'll charge you a high price!"
The next morning.
After a night's rest, the main creative team packed up their things and set off for the next roadshow city, Changsha.
Since there are no direct flights, I finally chose to take the high-speed rail.
It took a total of four hours, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the Changsha Hotel.
When everyone was resting in the hotel, Lin Yuan took out his mobile phone and swiped Weibo. It sounds nice to know the news in the circle, but in fact it is just to pass the boring time.
Soon, Lin Yuan saw that Xiaosi's Weibo post an hour ago had been trending.
[Xiao Si: "To celebrate the box office of "Grand Trail" broke 188 million on the first day, Xiao Si would like to thank all the fans for their support, and decided to draw [-] lucky viewers to get a group photo signed by the main creative team! @吴签@范列@陈伟庆." 】
After seeing this dynamic content, Lin Yuan's expression froze, with a little doubt on his face.
There are almost 9 hours before the box office release on the first day, which means that the box office of the movie "Grand Trail" has already exceeded 15 million in just [-] hours?
This speed is a bit too exaggerated, right?
Lin Yuan showed Huang Bo and the Ukrainian director beside him the dynamics posted by Xiao Si, and the reaction of both of them was similar to his. Obviously, he did not expect that the box office of the movie "Grand Trail" would explode like this.
However, director Wu also sent a message to friends in the theater to find out about the situation.
After asking, I found out that although the current box office has not exceeded 400 million, it has already reached more than [-] million. It is basically a certainty that the box office will exceed [-] million on the first day.
Although it was a bit out of date, Lin Yuan couldn't help but asked, "Director Wu, what is the current box office of our movie?"
Director Wu was silent for a moment, lit the cigarette in his hand, and said somewhat unwillingly: "Now the box office is 300 million, and the box office on the first day should be around 8000 million."
This result is actually quite explosive.
After all, tomorrow is the National Day, and today ordinary people have to go to work as usual. Naturally, the number of viewers during the day cannot be compared with that after get off work. They can get 300 million box office for such a long time during the day, and 4000 million for six hours at night. Box office is not a problem either.
It's just that this result is obviously inferior to that of "Grand Trail".
The reason why there is such a big gap is that the main reason is that the publicity is simply not comparable to "Grand Trail". If their "Looking for the Dragon" also has hundreds of traffic stars to help promote the movie, now the box office will have nothing to say. Double it up!
Judging from their current results, opening champagne at halftime is not a problem at all.
Seeing that "Grand Trail" is about to win the box office championship on the first day of the National Day schedule, Lin Yuan did not choose to sit still. Instead, he logged into his Weibo account, found the photos taken at the Wanda Cinema yesterday from the album, and added a paragraph of text.
Seeing this, Huang Bo was still curious, leaned his head and asked, "Yuanzi, what are you doing?"
"Brother Bo, the box office on the first day is almost out, so you have to do something?" Lin Yuan buried his head in editing the text, while explaining: "You watch other movies and hire a group of traffic stars, and the box office on the first day will exceed [-] million immediately. If the two of us plus Xia Yu, none of the films that the three movie stars collaborated on broke the [-] million mark at the box office on the first day, wouldn't that be a drop in price for the movie stars?"
Hearing this, Huang Bo's cheerful expression suddenly became serious.
Makes sense!
They have a group of fresh meat over there, and they have three movie stars here.
It doesn't mean that the box office on the first day must exceed others, but the problem is that everyone can break the [-] million box office on the first day. If they don't reach it, then the price will be too low.
Thinking of this, Huang Bo immediately took out his mobile phone, logged into his personal studio account, and started to operate.
The box office results on the first day were the first confrontation between the two films!
(End of this chapter)
There is still one month left before the National Day schedule.
Just after the three films "Grand Trail", "Looking for the Dragon" and "Mekong River" were confirmed to be on the same stage, the press conference of "Ace Playing Ace" starring Hua Tsai and Huang Jiaozhu also held a press conference two days ago , officially announced that the film will be released during the National Day schedule.
This made the atmosphere tense again during the National Day schedule, which was already quite competitive.
As the group army that captured the first echelon of the movie box office during the National Day schedule, the distributors of the four movies can be said to be the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, each showing their own talents. Since the beginning of September, they have been promoting the movies through various means such as buying popular searches, creating topics, and releasing movie trailers.
During this month, four movies took turns to be on the hot searches.
There is quite a posture of you singing and I will appear on the stage, but from the beginning to the end, the three movies have not been able to shake "Grand Trail"'s number one position on the hot search list.
Although Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Peng Yuyan, Hua Tsai and other actors have many fans, on social software such as Weibo, fans of other traffic stars are fighting in the local area. Character design, a combination of punches, all kinds of topics about the protagonists of "Grand Trail" have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
It is also thanks to the solid cast of "Looking for the Dragon", relying on the two popular actors Lin Yuan and Huang Bo, after the movie "Grand Trail", it has firmly ranked second in popularity.
All four films have made great efforts in the pre-announcement and release, and no one will be outdone.
Now is no longer the era when the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. If the publicity and distribution work is not in place, I am afraid that it will be the same as last year's "Rescue Mr. My" movie.
Under such circumstances, the leading actors of the four films have not rarely appeared in front of the media recently, and Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, and Shu Qi were not spared.
Originally, the three of them were all preparing for the filming of the movie "A Good Show" in Yakushima, but they were still called back by the black director, and they organized a fan signing event temporarily, which was regarded as a ranking for the movie "Looking for the Dragon" Warm up and cooperate with the publisher's publicity work.
Time soon came to the end of September.
Except for the movie "Ace Teasing Ace" which is set on October [-]st, the other three movies are all set on September [-]th by coincidence.
the reason is simple.
September [-]th happens to be Friday, and the next day is National Day, so it can be said that it is a holiday for the whole people. The audience will have time to go to the cinema to consume that night. The release one day earlier means that they can gain more box office of the day.
In addition, it was released on September [-]. After a day of fermentation, word of mouth of the movie basically spread on the Internet. When the National Day came the next day, audiences who were still hesitating which movie to watch , Maybe after seeing the good word-of-mouth on the Internet, he made a decision directly.
It has to be said that since the audience's spending power has risen, the phenomenon of blindly following the trend has also intensified.
In the past, when audiences wanted to go to the cinema to watch a certain movie, they would read the reviews of the movie in advance. If the movie had a good reputation, they might be willing to buy a movie ticket for it.
But now, audiences are too lazy to spend time reading movie reviews. Movie reputation is not worth mentioning in front of box office results. Most audiences are willing to choose movies with more explosive box office results. , I don't care at all, anyway, movie tickets are only a pack of cigarettes now.
Under such circumstances, the first-day box office results on September [-] are particularly important for the three films "Grand Trail", "Looking for the Dragon", and "Operation Mekong".
Seeing that there are only a few days until September [-]th, the day when the movie will be released.
The distributors of the three movies also spent a lot of money on movie promotion.
In addition to the publisher's commercial promotion, another battlefield is also extremely lively nowadays.
The four "Little Times" made the director of Xiao Si famous, and at the same time brought popular stars such as Guo Biting and Chen Xuedong. It can be said that Xiao Si has completely established a firm foothold in the entertainment circle.
Now that the movie "Grand Trail" is released, Xiao Si also spares no effort to mobilize his inner circle to help promote the movie.
In this way, in addition to the starring role of the movie "Grand Trail", many traffic stars also stood in line.
"The first trailer of "Grand Trail" is officially released! Guo Dao's new fantasy work, created by the main creative team of "Little Times" with family affection! Friends, come and watch! Warmly wish Guo Dao's new work box office big wheat! Randomly draw 88 lucky koi! Comment and retweet for a chance to win a cash red envelope of 880 yuan! @郭道,@创起电影官方微博.”
"Calling for Director Guo crazily!! Guo's products must be high-quality goods! As for Director Guo's name, this movie is worth looking forward to!"
"San Xiaozhi cheers for Wang Yuan. This is the first time that Wang Yuan has starred in a movie. Fans are welcome to support him. At the same time, I would like to thank Director Guo for taking care of Wang Yuan in the crew. Congratulations to Director Guo for his new film "Grand Trail". !!"
"."
Originally, the leading actors Wu Zhi, Fan Ye, Chen Weiting, Chen Xuedong and others in "Grand Trail" were top-notch stars, and their popularity was extraordinary. Now there are other traffic stars to help promote, and for a while they are popular on major social media and portal websites , The movie "Grand Trail" can be seen everywhere.
And just after these traffic stars publicly called for the movie "Grand Trail".
Celebrities such as Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, and Wang Baoqiang also joined in this huge publicity one after another.
It's just that the movie they promoted was not "Grand Trail", but "Looking for the Dragon" starring Lin Yuan and Huang Bo.
Not to mention the publisher of "Looking for the Dragon Jue" in this situation, even Lin Yuan and Huang Bo never imagined that "Grand Trail" has such a big publicity force, it is because Xiao Si mobilized his own circle Relationship, people have to help this out of emotion and reason.
However, Lin Yuan and Huang Bo never thought of troublesome friends in their circle. After all, asking people to help promote the movie is due to favors. Otherwise, every time they make a movie, they will ask others to help promote it. Well, anyone who helps them will get into trouble.
Now Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and others spontaneously help Lin Yuan and Huang Bo promote the movie "Looking for the Dragon", which is enough to prove how good the relationship between Lin Yuan and Huang Bo is in the circle.
Of course, most of the celebrities in the circle still choose to sit on the sidelines and not help each other.
Lin Yuan and Huang Bo are indeed well-known in the circle, but Fan Ye and other traffic stars are not far behind, and their relationship with Lin Yuan and Huang Bo is far inferior to that of Deng Chao and Xu Zheng. and others, and may cooperate with these traffic stars in the future.
Under such circumstances, the attitude of most celebrities in the circle is no different from that of netizens, just eat melons honestly.
With Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and other stars joining, the popularity of the movie "Looking for the Dragon" has finally increased a lot, and it has reappeared in the field of vision of netizens. By a large margin.
at the same time.
In a luxury hotel room in Shenzhen.
The first road show city of "Looking for the Dragon" crew was in Shenzhen, so Lin Yuan and others also arrived in Shenzhen two days ago and began to prepare for the road show.
Huang Bo took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and then turned his attention to Lin Yuan who was sitting on the sofa, and asked, "Did you ask Deng Chao to help promote the movie?"
Lin Yuan was also wondering. After seeing Deng Chao helping to promote "Looking for the Dragon", he made a special phone call to inquire. As a result, Deng Chao's assistant said that he was filming, so Lin Yuan still doesn't know what happened. one thing.
He shook his head and explained: "I don't know, I thought it was the film that director Wu asked your contact to help promote."
The two looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
This is strange.
After hesitating for a moment, Huang Bo took out his mobile phone and said, "I'll call Xu Zheng and ask him what's going on."
After a while, the call was connected.
Hearing Huang Bo's voice, Lin Yuan probably knew that he was asking about this matter, but how Xu Zheng answered, Lin Yuan had no idea, but saw Huang Bo who was originally puzzled and suddenly realized.
After a few minutes.
As soon as Huang Bo hung up the phone, Lin Yuan asked, "Brother Bo, what did Brother Zheng say?"
"He's a smart guy. He said he would help us promote the movie now, and when he asks us to help him promote the movie later, there is no reason to refuse." Huang Bo shook his head dumbfoundingly, but he didn't expect him to come up with such an idea.
In fact, even if Xu Zheng didn't help them promote the movie this time, when Xu Zheng's movie is released, as long as Xu Zheng says something, they will definitely help if they should help promote the movie.
The main reason why Xu Zheng said this is that he has seen through the future movie market.
In the future, the box office competition in the film market will only become more and more fierce. Now that he is selling a favorable favor, his own film will be released in the future, which is equivalent to an extra way out.
Not a while after Huang Bo finished calling Xu Zheng, Deng Chao also called Lin Yuan back.
"Hey, Brother Chao, are you still filming at this time?"
Deng Chao on the other end of the phone replied with a smile: "Isn't this about to finish and catch up with the progress? By the way, what do you want me to do, brother?"
Lin Yuan teased, "Didn't you see Brother Chao helping you to promote the movie? As a younger brother, I should care about Brother Chao."
"You talk about this." Deng Chao quickly explained: "Isn't this a movie with Peng Yuyan? When the movie was released, director Han helped to promote it. When I thought about it, then I have to help promote it. I'm going to help promote "Operation Mekong", and I will definitely not forget your movie."
That's what I said, but from the time Deng Chao promoted the two films, it can be seen which film he attaches more importance to.
Lin Yuan also pretended to be confused with understanding, and kept this favor in his heart.
After chatting with Deng Chao for a few words and hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't look at him and Huang Bo who seem to be calm on the surface, but in fact they are worried about the box office of the movie "Looking for the Dragon".
Needless to say, Huang Bo, as the holder of the highest box office in the total movie box office, as long as the box office of the next movie he makes is not big, it is very likely that he will be the first actor to win the box office of tens of billions.
With the box office of the movie "Tang Detective" worth more than one billion yuan, Lin Yuan has also entered the first echelon of competition for the box office of tens of billions. If he wants to win the box office of tens of billions, he must not only ensure that the box office of the movie will not hit the street, And there is hope for the movie to be a big hit at the box office.
Now that the movie "Grand Trail" is coming aggressively, and it looks like it is about to win the box office champion in the National Day schedule, the two of them are more or less worried.
The two of them have always been representatives of powerful actors. The leading actors of the movie "Grand Trail" are just the opposite of them. Almost all of them are traffic stars. "Trace", there must be many employers who will focus on these traffic stars in the future.
After all, they are all winners of Best Actors now, and their salary is not low in the first place.
In addition, powerful actors like them have to choose a script. If the script is not bright, basically no capable actor is willing to act.
Looking at it this way, the cost-effectiveness of asking traffic stars to make movies is immediately reflected.
The management can completely use the money left over from the script to hire two more traffic stars. With the huge fan base of traffic stars, even if the movie box office is not ideal, it will basically not lose money.
Anyway, for capital, if they want to make an award-winning movie or a movie that can make money, they will undoubtedly choose the latter.
Now that Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and other celebrities are helping to promote it, the possibility of the movie "Looking for the Dragon" finally becoming the first-day box office is much greater.
Time flies, and it's September 29th in the blink of an eye.
At twelve o'clock in the morning today, three movies will be screened in major theaters on time.
When the crews of "Operation Mekong" and "Grand Trail" held their premieres one after another, the crew of "Looking for the Dragon" did not move at all, as if they had given up the last chance to promote the film.
Originally Director Wu's idea was to hold the premiere first, and then hold the first roadshow at twelve o'clock tonight after the premiere. Anyway, there is still time to do so.
However, Director Wu's plan was rejected by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan gave his own opinion, since Director Wu is planning to start seven roadshows in a row, why not make a fuss about the roadshow?
Other movie roadshows go to the movie theater to interact with the audience before the movie is shown, so as to increase the sense of interaction with the audience, so as to create topics and expose the movie.
Then their "Looking for the Dragon" crew can completely adopt a different form. The main creators of the crew watch the movie together with the audience. Feedback, this will increase the surprise of the audience, after all, no one would have thought that the audience who sat in the theater and watched the whole movie with them turned out to be the actors in the movie.
The second is to listen to the feedback after the audience has watched the movie, which will make the audience feel that the main creative team of the film is really willing to listen to their suggestions after watching the movie, and can make the audience feel the sincerity of the main creative team of the film.
The most important thing is that the first road show is like making a nest before fishing. This method attracts the attention of netizens and lets netizens know that the crew of "Looking for the Dragon" will hold seven road shows during the National Day. After everyone knew the news, the main creative team concealed the itinerary at this time, making netizens guess which city and which movie theater the main creative team will appear in next.
At the same time, it gave netizens a psychological hint, that is, as long as they enter the cinema to watch the movie "Looking for the Dragon" during the National Day, they will have the opportunity to meet the main creative team of "Looking for the Dragon". It is a rare opportunity to get in touch with idols up close for the fans of the lead roles.
If you are lucky enough to watch a movie in the same theater as your idol, it will definitely be a good topic for netizens to talk about. Movie tickets, lottery draws on Weibo and Hupu major social networking sites, and have the opportunity to get autographs of several leading actors.
After Lin Yuan spoke out his method, he immediately got the approval of Director Wu and others.
So director Wu directly canceled the premiere that had been prepared at the beginning, and asked the theater to arrange the movie seats for the premiere, and prepared to surprise the audience who watched the premiere of "Looking for the Dragon" at Wanda Cinema in Shenzhen!
Time passed by minute by minute.
Soon it was time to check the tickets. Lin Yuan and the others put on their hats and masks, mingled in the ticket checking line, and entered the theater like ordinary audiences.
Everyone was silent, sitting in the auditorium quietly waiting for the movie to be shown, for fear that other audience members would discover their true identities.
"So excited, two of my favorite actors collaborate for the first time, and the two chefs are ecstatic!"
"It would be great if it was a comedy. I don't know how well the two of them made this adaptation of Ghost Blowing the Lantern."
"Oh, I hope it doesn't suck like "Nine-story Demon Tower"."
"Don't mention "The Nine-story Demon Tower". I have been thinking for a long time before I mustered up the courage to watch this movie. I hope Lin Yuan and Huang Bo are not so disappointed."
"The two ghost blowing lights changed works, both of which were released on National Day. I have a bad premonition."
"Don't listen, don't listen, I'm here for Yuanbao anyway, Yuanbao has made so many movies, and none of them are bad."
"."
The main creative team in the front row couldn't help but feel a lot more nervous when they heard the rustling discussions from the audience behind.
It can be seen from the audience's words that they are not optimistic about this movie.
Because the word-of-mouth of the previous "Nine-story Demon Tower", which was adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", has already reached the center of the earth, this "Looking for the Dragon" somewhat scared them.
If it weren't for Lin Yuan and Huang Bo, the leading actors, maybe they wouldn't even have the idea of going to the cinema to watch it.
Just when the audience whispered.
The advertisements on the big screen also stopped abruptly, and the familiar dragon logo appeared in front of everyone.
The movie "Looking for the Dragon" is officially screened!
The lights in the theater dimmed suddenly, and the audience's eyes all focused on the big screen.
As the list of distributors, production companies, etc. flashed on the big screen, the voice of the movie narration sounded during the switching of the screen.
"More than 1000 years ago, the dynasty split into three countries and fought non-stop"
In the screen, the three Mojin school lieutenants played by Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, and Shu Qi keep going down the rope.
There are many traps in the ancient tomb. Fortunately, the three of them cooperated tacitly and opened the ancient coffin without any risk. A thousand-year-old female corpse in red appeared in the audience's field of vision.
Seeing that the candle was about to go out, there was not much time left for the three of them. Shirley Yang at the side urged the two to leave quickly, while Hu Bayi, played by Lin Yuan, accidentally lifted the hijab of the female corpse in red. The thousand-year-old female corpse in the ancient coffin opened its eyes at this moment, revealing a smile that amazed the audience.
In the next second, under the rendering of special effects, the ancient tomb collapsed, and Lin Yuan was pulled back from the dream to reality.
In the United States, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Shirley Yang, who planned to wash their hands in the golden basin, lived ordinary lives. Movies based on "exciting" also add a lot of laughter.
By coincidence, Wang Kaixuan met the Bianhua who he had never forgotten again. He remembered his first love Ding Sitian and found that she might still be alive, so he followed Da Jinya back to the grassland, preparing to visit the thousand-year-old tomb again to find the origin of Bianhua. the truth.
On the other hand, through Hu Bayi's self-narration, he recalled the story that happened when he and Fatty Wang went to the countryside to jump in the queue on the grassland, and at the same time substituted the audience into the storyline of the movie.
In the 1205-minute movie, none of the audience left their seats to go to the toilet, and from time to time they could hear bursts of laughter and shocking cries from the audience behind them.
Judging from the reaction of the movie hall, the audience should be quite satisfied with the movie "Looking for the Dragon".
Time passed by every minute and every second. In the last kiss scene between Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang, the camera suddenly showed the panoramic view of the grassland lake, and a strange skull appeared on the screen, which made the audience feel shivering. .
With this open ending, it's hard not to make the audience wonder, did Hu Bayi and the others really escape from the ancient tomb alive?
At the same time, the big screen turned black, and the movie list slowly scrolled along with the ending song, and then the wall lamps in the theater lit up.
When the ending credits end, the movie is officially over
The audience in the theater packed up their belongings, discussed the plot of the movie, and got up to leave the theater.
However, before they got up to leave, they saw a group of people walking straight onto the stage, and at the same time, the staff of the theater moved tables and chairs.
"What is this for?"
"It's not a movie theater staff meeting, is it?"
"Let's go, what's so interesting about this."
"."
The situation on the stage obviously made the audience in the theater a little overwhelmed.
After all, the official blog of the crew of "Looking for the Dragon" has never disclosed it, and the audience never thought that the main creative team would come to the theater for a road show.
Just as the audience in the cinema hall was about to leave, director Wu introduced himself with a microphone.
"Hi everyone, I am Wu Ershan, the director of the movie "Looking for the Dragon". It is a great honor to come to the Wanda Cinema with the main creative team to watch the first movie of "Looking for the Dragon" with you. If you are free, I hope you can Take up a little time for everyone, so that we can listen closely to the feedback from the audience."
It can be seen that director Wu must have prepared a lot for the road show, and even prepared the speech script in advance.
And just after Director Wu finished introducing their identities, the audience who had been preparing for the viewing booth began to discuss in low voices one by one, and returned to their seats one after another.
It is rare to see a movie and encounter a road show with the film's main creative team.
For most of the audience at the scene, this was the first time they had such close contact with the film's main creative team.
Many viewers have already taken out their mobile phones to take pictures and show off to their friends.
Now that they have reached the stage of the road show, Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Angela and the others did not hide their identities any more. They took off their masks and hats, took the microphone from Director Wu, and introduced themselves.
Just as they introduced themselves, the entire auditorium suddenly resounded with exclamations that resounded through the theater.
The excited cheers could be vaguely heard even by the audience in the theater next door.
After the leading actors introduced themselves one after another, the microphone was once again passed into the hands of Wu Dao, who also struck while the iron was hot, asking the audience how they felt after watching the movie.
In fact, audiences who are willing to watch the first movie at this time are either fans of the leading actors, or lovers of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". Whether it is the former or the latter, they obviously have a fan filter.
Especially for fans of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", after the previous work "Nine-story Demon Tower" lowered the audience's expectations, the movie "Looking for the Dragon" is not to mention how amazing it is for them.
Not only does it present the tense and exciting sense of adventure, but also lines such as "Looking for the dragon and dividing the gold to see the mountain, one level of entanglement is one level of pass, if there are eight levels of danger when closing the door, there will be no yin and yang gossip" and other lines. They went back to when they were reading novels.
After asking around, the audience all gave positive comments.
I don't know if it's because I'm embarrassed to say bad things about the movie in front of the main creative team, or if the movie really has such a high evaluation in the eyes of the audience.
However, judging from the movie screening just now, it is clear that the former is more likely.
Director Wu also understood the psychology of the audience very well. Since he didn't have any suggestions, he ended the question-and-answer session straightforwardly. The staff brought the movie stills and marker pens, and held a small autograph session on the stage.
Seeing the opportunity to get the idol's autograph, the audience in the auditorium became more and more excited.
Watching a movie, you can not only meet the film's main creative team, but also get the idol's signed poster. Isn't this good thing for them to take over?
The movie posters are arranged according to the number of moviegoers in the theater. Every audience got a poster with the signatures of the leading actors. As for the extra dozen or so, they were reserved for the theater. After all, the person in charge of the theater is not stupid. , know how to make these dozens of extraordinary signed posters play their best value.
Finally, in the group photo with the audience in the theater, the first road show of the movie "Looking for the Dragon" ended.
By the time the roadshow ended, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.
Lin Yuan and Huang Bo and the leading actors were sitting in the commercial vehicle, ready to go back to the hotel to rest.
On the way back to the hotel, Director Wu sat in the co-pilot's seat and was full of thoughts. It seemed that the results of the first film of "Looking for the Dragon" were not ideal for him.
However, it is understandable for Director Wu to have such thoughts.
Even though the audience's response to the movie "Looking for the Dragon" is not bad, and all kinds of evaluations are mainly praises, but before the movie ticket inspection, the director Wu casually asked many tourists and found that what they bought were all It is the movie ticket of "Grand Trail", and many tourists even sat in the lobby and waited for the screening of the second movie because they did not buy the movie tickets for the first "Grand Trail".
Judging from the current situation, the word-of-mouth of the movie should be guaranteed.
But the problem is that the audience's first choice for watching movies is still the movie "Grand Trail". Under the overwhelming publicity, the herd effect is vividly displayed on the audience.
It doesn't matter whether the movie is good or not, in short, it is right to watch the movie that most audiences choose first.
Lin Yuan also noticed Director Wu's emotions, so he picked up a random topic to attract Director Wu's attention: "Director Wu, which city are we going to for the next roadshow?"
"All the way to the north, the next stop should be Changsha, Hunan." Director Wu's tone was somewhat unwilling, and after answering Lin Yuan's words, he asked: "Lin Yuan, after tonight, the whole network should know that our crew is going to perform The road show is over, do you want to announce the itinerary in advance?"
Announcing the itinerary in advance can be said to be good and bad.
The good thing is that fans of Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Angela and other leading actors can receive news in advance and prepare for support activities. When it comes to the road show, the atmosphere can be a little more enthusiastic, which is more conducive to their crew inviting the media to come and hype.
As for the disadvantage, after the itinerary is announced, the enthusiasm of the audience in other cities will be greatly reduced.
Knowing that the main creative team of "Looking for the Dragon" will not go to the city where they are located, the intention of buying tickets to enter the cinema is naturally reduced a lot.
"I think it's better not to mention our crew's itinerary." After Lin Yuan finished talking about his thoughts, he added: "However, Brother Bo, if you have different opinions, you can also bring them up for analysis."
Unsurprisingly, Lin Yuan's suggestion was approved by several leading actors.
Originally, everyone participated in the road show to fulfill their duties as the leading actors and cooperate with the promotion of the film. If the crew made their schedule public now, there would definitely be fans watching them in the theater in advance. By that time, it might not be a road show, but a fan meeting, so Huang Bo and the others also directly agreed with Lin Yuan's idea.
Since we have to go to the next roadshow city tomorrow, the main creative team members didn't talk too much. After returning to the hotel, they went back to their rooms, ready to rest and refresh themselves.
at the same time.
Just when Lin Yuan, Huang Bo and other leading actors of "Looking for the Dragon" were sleeping and resting, there was already quite a stir on the Internet.
With the three films "Grand Trail", "Looking for the Dragon" and "Operation Mekong" released on time tonight, the National Day schedule has officially kicked off.
Netizens have also shared their movie-watching experiences online. Firstly, to give other netizens some advice to prevent other netizens from contributing to the box office of bad movies. Secondly, to satisfy their own weak sense of superiority. It was hard to grab the first show. Movie tickets, don't you want to show off on the Internet?
Netizens who watched "Grand Trail" complained on the Internet one after another. When the film was promoted, it was hyped, such as the oriental "Lord of the Rings" and a domestic fantasy epic blockbuster. Only after entering the movie theater did they know what it means to say that the propaganda does not match the real thing. It can be called the bad movie of the year!
As much as you expected, you will be as disappointed after watching the movie.
The first movie "Grand Trail" had the largest number of viewers, and the more discussions about this movie.
The comments can be said to be severely polarized. For audiences with fan filters, they don’t care how the movie is made, as long as their idols can have enough roles in the movie, even after they come out of the movie theater, they are still there. Various social media exaggerated how good their idol's acting skills are.
And for those audiences who followed the trend and chose the movie "Grand Trail" at the beginning, in this 1106-minute movie, there is no one minute that is not suffering.
However, thanks to the fact that most of the people who bought the tickets for the first movie were fans of the leading actors, after the first movie screening of the movie "Grand Trail", the word-of-mouth on the Internet declined somewhat, but the impact was minimal.
In contrast to the other two films competing for the National Day box office, netizens who have watched "Operation Mekong" or "Looking for the Dragon" all said that the viewing experience is good. The former is the main theme movie, which made the audience excited and patriotic. The third is the original novel party ecstasy, whether it is the casting of the movie or the plot of the movie, it has greatly restored the original work.
However, when netizens were still discussing topics such as movie special effects, the audience who watched the first "Looking for the Dragon" at Shenzhen Wanda Cinema began to break the news on the Internet, saying that they met the main creative team of the film crew on the road show, not only with them. The movie was watched in the auditorium, and there was a question and answer session, as well as the signing session of the leading actors at the end.
After hearing the news, other netizens still couldn't believe it for a while.
It's usually like a road show for a movie crew, which time the news is not released in advance, and finally the online and offline theaters make a lot of fanfare.
It's not unheard of for roadshows to be carried out quietly, but those who choose to do so are generally small film crews, who are not well-known themselves, and just want to make a big splash, but they don't have the strength.
With such a luxurious lineup of actors like Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Angela, etc., the road show has to be carried out secretly, so how to increase the hype of the movie?
But when those audiences posted the live photos taken in the theater to the Internet, the netizens couldn't sit still.
The fact that the crew of "Looking for the Dragon" secretly conducted a road show quickly aroused heated discussions among many netizens.
Within an hour or two, when the topic gained a certain amount of heat.
The official blog of "Looking for the Dragon" also posted a news on Weibo. The content is concise and to the point, saying that the main creative team of their crew will conduct six roadshows. As long as the movie "Looking for the Dragon" is shown in theaters, the main creative team may As for the specific cities where the roadshow will appear, the official blog did not disclose.
As soon as the news came out, there was a wave of waves on the Internet.
"There are six more roadshows?!"
"Tomorrow night, I'm just going to watch Dragon Hunting Jue with my colleagues. It would be great if Lin Yuan and Huang Bo could come to Chengdu for the road show."
"I'm an insider, whoever Vs me 50, I'll share with you the detailed road show itinerary."
"Damn it, there is a chance to get Yuanbao's autographed poster after watching the movie. Is there any netizen willing to sell it? I'll charge you a high price!"
The next morning.
After a night's rest, the main creative team packed up their things and set off for the next roadshow city, Changsha.
Since there are no direct flights, I finally chose to take the high-speed rail.
It took a total of four hours, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the Changsha Hotel.
When everyone was resting in the hotel, Lin Yuan took out his mobile phone and swiped Weibo. It sounds nice to know the news in the circle, but in fact it is just to pass the boring time.
Soon, Lin Yuan saw that Xiaosi's Weibo post an hour ago had been trending.
[Xiao Si: "To celebrate the box office of "Grand Trail" broke 188 million on the first day, Xiao Si would like to thank all the fans for their support, and decided to draw [-] lucky viewers to get a group photo signed by the main creative team! @吴签@范列@陈伟庆." 】
After seeing this dynamic content, Lin Yuan's expression froze, with a little doubt on his face.
There are almost 9 hours before the box office release on the first day, which means that the box office of the movie "Grand Trail" has already exceeded 15 million in just [-] hours?
This speed is a bit too exaggerated, right?
Lin Yuan showed Huang Bo and the Ukrainian director beside him the dynamics posted by Xiao Si, and the reaction of both of them was similar to his. Obviously, he did not expect that the box office of the movie "Grand Trail" would explode like this.
However, director Wu also sent a message to friends in the theater to find out about the situation.
After asking, I found out that although the current box office has not exceeded 400 million, it has already reached more than [-] million. It is basically a certainty that the box office will exceed [-] million on the first day.
Although it was a bit out of date, Lin Yuan couldn't help but asked, "Director Wu, what is the current box office of our movie?"
Director Wu was silent for a moment, lit the cigarette in his hand, and said somewhat unwillingly: "Now the box office is 300 million, and the box office on the first day should be around 8000 million."
This result is actually quite explosive.
After all, tomorrow is the National Day, and today ordinary people have to go to work as usual. Naturally, the number of viewers during the day cannot be compared with that after get off work. They can get 300 million box office for such a long time during the day, and 4000 million for six hours at night. Box office is not a problem either.
It's just that this result is obviously inferior to that of "Grand Trail".
The reason why there is such a big gap is that the main reason is that the publicity is simply not comparable to "Grand Trail". If their "Looking for the Dragon" also has hundreds of traffic stars to help promote the movie, now the box office will have nothing to say. Double it up!
Judging from their current results, opening champagne at halftime is not a problem at all.
Seeing that "Grand Trail" is about to win the box office championship on the first day of the National Day schedule, Lin Yuan did not choose to sit still. Instead, he logged into his Weibo account, found the photos taken at the Wanda Cinema yesterday from the album, and added a paragraph of text.
Seeing this, Huang Bo was still curious, leaned his head and asked, "Yuanzi, what are you doing?"
"Brother Bo, the box office on the first day is almost out, so you have to do something?" Lin Yuan buried his head in editing the text, while explaining: "You watch other movies and hire a group of traffic stars, and the box office on the first day will exceed [-] million immediately. If the two of us plus Xia Yu, none of the films that the three movie stars collaborated on broke the [-] million mark at the box office on the first day, wouldn't that be a drop in price for the movie stars?"
Hearing this, Huang Bo's cheerful expression suddenly became serious.
Makes sense!
They have a group of fresh meat over there, and they have three movie stars here.
It doesn't mean that the box office on the first day must exceed others, but the problem is that everyone can break the [-] million box office on the first day. If they don't reach it, then the price will be too low.
Thinking of this, Huang Bo immediately took out his mobile phone, logged into his personal studio account, and started to operate.
The box office results on the first day were the first confrontation between the two films!
