Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 219 Exploding Movie Word of Mouth

At the same time as "The God of Medicine" was released, Lin Yuan was waiting for the film's box office and word of mouth to come out in the hotel with Xu Zheng and Ning Hao, the film's main creators.

Although they will attend media interviews tomorrow, no one will be able to sleep until the results come out.

While waiting for the major theaters to collect the premiere data of "The God of Medicine", Lin Yuan was not idle, looking at netizens' comments on the movie on the Internet, and it was less than 10 minutes before the end of the first movie. There are already tens of thousands of topics about watching the movie "The God of Medicine" on Weibo.

"The biggest scam of 2018! It's a comedy movie that was promised, but in the end, my girlfriend and I came out crying, and we didn't even feel like opening a room. Lin Yuan, you will pay me for a date!"

"Friendly reminder, remember to bring a tissue when watching the movie. Jimei who are afraid of crying and wearing make-up should not watch this movie!"

"The best movie of the year is booked in advance! Even in my opinion, the movie "The God of Medicine" can be regarded as one of the best movies in recent years. Lin Yuan used the movie to prove that he is not only a qualified actor , is also a director with humanistic feelings!"

"I give this work 99 points. The reason why it is not perfect is that Lin Yuan will be proud. This is the movie that society needs today, and this is what a real movie should look like!"

"After watching the movie "The God of Medicine", more than 300 people in our entire theater cried out. It's hard to imagine that the first time we cried this year would be in a movie theater."

"Although I really want to scold Lin Yuan for deceiving the audience, I have to admit that this movie is not deliberately sensational, but it can resonate with all audiences. There is no doubt that this is a good movie, and it is also the best movie I have seen so far. There is no other touching domestic film!"

Lin Yuan turned several pages on related topics, but did not reach the end.

However, the comments of these netizens did not feel like a long story. They were all very simple sentences, but they seemed more real than any professional film reviews.

After all, immediately after the film was released, there were a lot of long-term film reviews, analyzing and praising the film from various angles. This kind of evaluation has no reference value for the main creative team of the film, because basically 90% of them are fake. The probability is that they are all film critics who are paid to do things.

At least judging from the current audience's comments, the word-of-mouth of the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is quite good.

Lin Yuan knows why these directors like to surf high-intensity with their mobile phones after the movie is released. For the directors, the movie is equivalent to their children. Now that the children have been recognized by netizens, as the director of parents, he naturally feels the same. Filled with unspeakable pride.

"Brother Zheng, have you read the comments from netizens?" Lin Yuan asked Xu Zheng who was staring at his phone.

It's okay if you don't ask, but Xu Zheng's face suddenly became serious when he asked.

He turned his head, looked at Lin Yuan, and asked very seriously: "Lin Yuan, to be honest, did you buy a navy to post to you?"

As soon as these words came out, let alone Lin Yuan, even Ning Hao and the others in the room were stunned.

Please didn't invite the sailors, don't they know their own people?

Besides, even if they want to invite the navy for the movie "The God of Medicine", this is also the responsibility of their producer, and it is simply not up to the director Lin Yuan to do such a thing, so they don't know what Xu Zheng is doing. Suddenly this kind of question comes up.

"Brother Zheng, we are basically together these days, don't you know if you didn't invite the navy?"

"Hmph, then tell me, what's going on with these posts?"

Xu Zheng snorted coldly, held the phone in front of Lin Yuan, and showed him the comments of netizens.

Originally, Lin Yuan wondered what was going on, but when he saw the comments from netizens, he immediately became amused.

I saw a question from a viewer in one post: "The leading actor's acting skills are good, and he looks familiar, which star is it, I forgot all of a sudden."

Immediately afterwards, some netizens began to comment.

"Isn't this Xu Zheng?"

"Isn't Xu Zheng bald? Why did he suddenly have hair?"

"He didn't go for hair transplant just to make this movie, did he?"

"I just said why it looks familiar. It turned out to be Xu Zheng. I really can't recognize him with long hair."

"."

Seeing Lin Yuan covering his mouth and laughing, Xu Zheng quit this post directly, then found a post about Lin Yuan and clicked in.

"Lin Yuan's acting is so good, I really didn't expect him to be able to portray a patient so vividly that I wonder if he has suffered from some difficult and serious illness."

"Before, Lin Yuan played roles with personal touches, but this time he took the risk to play the group of 'patients', but I have to admit that he did it."

"Every time I see Lin Yuan smiling on the screen, I feel anxious."

"Lin Yuan is able to direct a film like "The God of Medicine" for the first time. If he transforms into a director, I can't imagine how many excellent works will appear on the big screen in the future!"

When it came to Lin Yuan, netizens basically praised Lin Yuan's "Lu Yiyi" for being too heart-wrenching. He portrayed the patient's humble, sad, and even unbearable psychological portrayal of his family. In addition, many netizens expressed surprise at the film directed by Lin Yuan for the first time, thinking that this work of Lin Yuan is the most touching film they have seen in recent years.

In fact, there are quite a few netizens who praised Xu Zheng's acting skills, but in the movie "The God of Medicine", Lin Yuan's acting skills are not bad, and this is the first movie directed by Lin Yuan.

In this case, netizens naturally want to discuss Lin Yuan more.

Xu Zheng also knew in his heart that he was just teasing like this on purpose to enliven the tense atmosphere of everyone.

However, for the producer of Guangguang Media, he doesn't care at all about the comments of netizens. He just wants to know how much the first box office of the movie "The God of Medicine" is, and whether he will continue to spend money on publicity. necessary.

Everyone waited until 02:30 for the first box office results of the movie "The God of Medicine" to be calculated.

Looking at the statistical results, Lin Yuan cleared his throat, and then read very seriously: "The first screening was 70.00, and the attendance rate was 32%. The total box office of the first screening is [-] million!"

As Lin Yuan's words fell, everyone in the main creative team in the room was dumbfounded and opened their mouths wide.

"How much?"

"Lin Yuan, you're not joking with us, are you?"

"The box office of the first show was more than 2000 million?"

Needless to say, the producers of Enlight Media, even Xu Zheng and Ning Hao, two directors with very good historical records, had such exaggerated reactions, which is enough to show how explosive the film's performance is.

But this is also understandable.

You must know that Xu Zheng's "Tai囧", the highest-grossing movie, only had a box office score of more than 3000 million on the first day. As a result, the movie "The God of Medicine" was screened twice, and his first-day score was surpassed. Shocked.

However, for Lin Yuan, although the first box office performance of the movie "The God of Medicine" exploded, it did not surprise him. After all, the first box office performance of "The Mermaid" was even more exaggerated than that of "The God of Medicine", let alone There is also a "Wolf Warrior 2" that now occupies the highest box office.

"How can I make fun of the box office results? Besides, I will be able to find out later." Lin Yuan shrugged and said lightly.

After confirming that Lin Yuan was not joking, the producer of Enlight Media couldn't sit still, stood up and said, "Lin Yuan, I'll go back to the headquarters first, and tell the board of directors about the film promotion. The media interview will be hard tomorrow. All of you."

Originally, he thought that the movie "The God of Medicine" would be very good if it won several million box office in its first show. After all, there are few movie trailers, and there is no screening, and there is no media and film critics to promote the movie in advance. In this case, the early exposure is definitely not as good as other movies, and the box office is naturally not much higher.

But now the box office of the first show is 2000 million, which is more explosive than all the films invested by Enlight Media before. How can this make him sit still?

After speaking, he took his briefcase and left in a hurry.

After the producer of Enlight Media left, Xu Zheng also asked curiously: "Lin Yuan, what do you think the box office will be on the first day?"

With this question, almost all the eyes of the main creative team fell on Lin Yuan.

No way, who let them here, only Lin Yuan had achieved such explosive box office results before.

Lin Yuan made an estimate based on the performance of "The Mermaid", and said with some uncertainty: "A conservative estimate, the box office on the first day should reach 1.5 million."

Hearing this, both Xu Zheng and Ning Hao's eyes changed, as if they were questioning Lin Yuan: "Are you sure this is a conservative estimate?"

Lin Yuan spread his hands, if they didn't believe it, there was nothing he could do.

At that time, the box office of "The Mermaid" was 2.8 million yuan on the first day. Lin Yuan knew very well that a large part of the reason was due to Master Xing. "Movie tickets", relying on feelings to win such exaggerated first-day results.

In this regard, the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is obviously not comparable to the movie "Mermaid".

However, before the screening of the last movie on the first day ends, no one knows what the box office will achieve on the first day.

Originally, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao and others wanted to rest and sleep early after watching the first box office results, but after seeing such an explosive first box office results, I am afraid it will be difficult to sleep today.

After waking up the next day, Lin Yuan turned on his phone, and saw that many entertainment media were rushing to report the results of "The God of Medicine".

"Word of mouth is exploding. The box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is rising fiercely. Its two premieres have grossed 6000 million at the box office. It is expected to break the myth of "Wolf Warrior 2" at the box office!!!"

"The film's word-of-mouth and box office are both good. Lin Yuan's first self-directed and self-acted film may sweep the entire Spring Festival stalls!"

"Two premieres on New Year's Eve, the attendance rate was as high as 86%, and it won a box office of 6000 million. It was the first shot in the New Year's film market and received rave reviews!"

"Whether Lin Yuan's first film directed won the Spring Festival box office championship, or the movie starring him won the Spring Festival box office box office championship, the ending is unpredictable, we will wait and see!"

Originally, the thought of having to deal with media reporters' interviews today gave Lin Yuan some headaches, but now after seeing the good news reported by these media reporters, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that these media reporters did not seem to be so "hateful".

Today is the New Year's Day holiday, and the audience has a lot of free time to walk into the cinema.

Of course, Lin Yuan would not miss such a good time. There were two media interviews arranged in the morning. As for the period from afternoon to evening, he led the creative team to start busy with the road show and publicity.

It was night in a flash.

In addition to the main creators of the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", the executives of major film companies are also paying attention to the box office results of the movie "The God of Medicine" on the first day.

For directors and leading actors, they may still care about the word-of-mouth of the movie, but for these bosses, there is only one kind of data they can see in their eyes, and that is the movie box office!
After the last movie screening on New Year's Day, the first-day box office data of the movie "The God of Medicine" soon came to them.

2.2 million box office on the first day!
Seeing such an explosive first-day box office results, these bosses felt mixed feelings for a while.

Film and television companies such as Huayi Brothers and Bona Films basically have regular co-directors, such as Feng Xiaogang and Xu Ke. Even Wanda Films has begun to train Chen Sichen since "Tang Detective" became popular. This cutting-edge director, however, does not have a permanent director under Enlight Media.

Therefore, when Enlight Media invested in actors such as Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, and Lin Yuan to make films, film and television companies such as Huayi Brothers and Bona Pictures did not take any action at all.

If they had stepped in at that time, the movie "The God of Medicine" might have been invested and shot by them.

And the most important thing is that the box office appeal of veteran directors like Feng Xiaogang and Xu Ke is declining. This can be seen from the fact that Feng Xiaogang's "Youth" only won a billion box office.

But Lin Yuan is different. After Lin Yuan gained a reputation with the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", the next film he directed will also have a good box office appeal. Unless Lin Yuan makes some bad movies, Lin Yuan The box office appeal will only get stronger.

Also regretting is Wang Changtian, the boss of Guangguang Media.

It's not that he regrets investing in Lin Yuan's film, but that he regrets advancing Lin Yuan's film to New Year's Day.

Its release on New Year's Day can earn 2.2 million at the box office. If it were released on the first day of the Lunar New Year during the Spring Festival, wouldn't the box office on the first day be expected to break the records set by "Mermaid" and even "Wolf Warrior 2"?

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and now he can only hope that the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" can continue the momentum of the first day, and strive to finally hit the box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2".
