Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 39

"Congratulations to your movie "Terminator" which has reached 20 billion yuan at the box office and successfully completed the box office task. You have successfully made a high-quality movie recognized by the public, and you will be rewarded: +5 entertainment points."

"Using entertainment points, you can obtain scientific knowledge, technology, etc. through the entertainment → technology exchange system."

"You haven't started your next film project yet."

"Your first movie→Technology novice guide is complete, please continue to work hard."

"Huh, I got 5 entertainment points."

Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got the box office task reward of "Terminator".

Speaking of which, this process is still a little bumpy.

Because it took 20 days for "Terminator" to reach the box office of 28 billion, which was a bit slower than Xu Nuo expected. Xu Nuo expected to reach the goal of 20 billion box office in about two weeks.

As a result, the goal was not achieved until the 28th day.

In the first week of "Terminator"'s release, the box office did go up all the way, and the weekend of the second week even reached an impressive record of more than [-] million in a single day.

But the longer a movie is released, the box office will eventually get tired.

There may be a box office decline in the first few days, but in the subsequent release days, basically the daily box office will continue to decline.

"Terminator" is just a popcorn movie after all. After the early box office wave has passed, you have watched everything you should watch. decreasing gradually.

However, on the second weekend after its release, the box office of "Terminator" has exceeded 15 billion, but the road to the follow-up of the [-] million is quite difficult.

In addition, the blockbuster movie "Sin" is completely popular this summer. When "Terminator" was 15 billion, its box office has exceeded 35 billion, so it can be regarded as squeezing "Terminator" to a certain extent. box office space.

In addition, every Friday during the summer period, there are other movies coming in one after another.

Who made the summer schedule so long? It’s impossible to fight over the few movies of the “Terminator” issue. Often, many movies will be released during this period, both domestic and foreign. No, early July At that time, a Hollywood blockbuster was also introduced into China.

The combination of various reasons made "Terminator" almost fail to get 20 billion box office within a month of its release.

This made Xu Nuo worried for several days.

In those few days, apart from writing AI programs, Xu Nuo paid attention to the box office of "Terminator". When he saw that the box office dropped to only 2000 to 1000 million a day, it was even lower than [-] million on a weekday. When the box office was released, Xu Nuo felt a little uneasy.

If this Nima fails to complete the 20 billion box office task, he won't be able to get those 5 entertainment points.

Without entertainment points, how to exchange biomedical technology-[new generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor]?
If this new drug is not dealt with, Xu Nuo will not be able to actually shoot "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and the follow-up film plan will be disrupted. Assistant Wen Ruohan will no longer have domestic medicine to take, and there will be more than 60 illnesses. People, there is no hope in life.

Fortunately, Xu Nuo did not fail to file.

When the box office growth of "Terminator" was getting slower and slower, Xu Nuo immediately applied for the key extension.

Under normal circumstances, a movie will be released in theaters for one month, and it will be offline when the time is up, and then after a period of time, it will be available on major video platforms.

But this is for movies with mediocre box office results. If the movie has excellent box office results, you can apply for a key to postpone the screening.

The so-called key is a concept of copyright protection. The theater chain obtains the encrypted digital copy file before the film is released. As long as the key is obtained at the time of the release, the normal screening can be realized, which avoids the possibility of the film source being leaked in advance and being pirated. .

The key also contains schedule information, with its own time attribute, which can control the release time of the movie in theaters. Currently, the key time of most movies is one month.

For theater-line movies where "time is money", the longer the release time, the greater the chance of attracting money. Therefore, the key extension is usually only for movies of the same period with better box office results, and the extension time is also an important factor. moon.

Of course, there are also some very popular movie key extensions for a longer period of time, two months or even longer.

"Terminator" was a low-ranking film at the beginning, and it came out all the way, and it won a box office of more than one billion in two weeks, which can be regarded as a popular summer movie.

So Xu Nuo saw that the box office might not exceed 20 billion during the release period, so he applied for a key extension, which increased the release period by one month.

Although in the subsequent one-month release period, the film schedule and attendance will definitely be extremely low.

After all, there are still new movies to be released in the future, and the theaters have to give them a large number of movies, but if "Terminator" is postponed for another month, it may still get tens of millions of box office. If the dark horse movie is postponed for one month In other words, maybe it can get another hundreds of millions of box office.

"Terminator" successfully obtained the key extension.

With the key Yanying, it will definitely be able to exceed 20 billion box office.

Fortunately, on the 28th day after its release, "Terminator" had a single-day box office of 861.3 million, and the cumulative total finally reached 20.03 billion.

Xu Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With 5 entertainment spots successfully obtained, Xu Nuo predicts that the box office of "Terminator" will eventually be in the range of 20 billion to 21 billion. It is estimated that it will be difficult to get more than [-] million box office after a one-month delay.

In addition to the key delay, another thing happened during the release of "Terminator".

The cause of the incident was that a netizen posted a ticket stub of "Terminator" on Weibo, but she said that she obviously bought the movie ticket of "Star Love" on the platform, and she also watched it in the cinema. "Star Love".

The result vote is "Terminator".

So she questioned that "Terminator" was stealing the box office of "Star Love".

In less than half a day, this incident was forwarded by movie fans and actor fans of "The Love of the Stars", and a crusade against "Terminator" for stealing the box office started vigorously.

This matter.

Xu Nuo wanted to laugh when he saw it.

My "Terminator" had a box office of more than one billion at the time, so rare to steal the box office of your "Star Love"?

The "Love of the Stars" in the same period claimed an investment of 6000 million yuan. After the release, except for the box office on the first day, it was still acceptable, and the follow-up directly pulled the crotch.

When the box office of "Terminator" exceeded 15 billion, the box office of "Stellar Love" just exceeded [-] million, and the investors were all at a loss.

In the beginning, the fans of Xu Yifeng, the heroine of "The Love of the Stars", all over the major online platforms boasted how good the movie of their family Gege was, and how good the acting skills of Gege were, and vowed to praise "The Stars". "Love" is a movie that must be watched in the cinema. If you don't watch it, you will regret it, and you will want to watch it twice or three times.

This guy made them brag that they didn't know that they thought the hot item of this summer's file was "The Love of the Stars".

Buying a lot of trending searches every day is commonplace, and even "Sin", which has a box office of 40 billion in summer, does not have as many trending searches as this movie.

As a result, the box office results slapped these fans in the face, and "The Love of the Stars" became the last one in the same period.

At this time, they kept silent about the box office, and just brag about their brother's acting skills, and then because a netizen posted a ticket stub, questioning "Terminator" for stealing the box office of "Star Love", they started Attack on "Terminator".

"Boss, these fans are like a bunch of clowns."

Guan Ju said so.

Then Guan Ju used his own power to pk these jumping clowns on the Internet, and used rigorous box office data to prove that the box office of "Terminator" was not worth a bit.

And Guan Ju also exposed the "box office stealing incident" that they directed and acted on their own.

The faces of those people were swollen.

Seeing that they were wronged, this group of brainless fans kept silent about stealing the box office, turned around and went back to continue bragging about how good "The Love of the Stars" is, how good their brother's acting skills are, and the future can be expected.

"Boss, they seem to be rigid all over their bodies."

After the incident, Guan Ju made a pertinent, correct and objective evaluation to this group of brain-dead fans.
