I'm just telling the artist what's wrong!

Chapter 574 High box office?Low word of mouth?
After intensive publicity, "Monster Hunt" finally ushered in the release time.

Speaking of which, this movie is indeed too ill-fated.

From the beginning of the project approval, after the filming was finished, the male lead had an accident, and Zhou Di had to be found urgently to save the scene.

After the filming was finally finished, the "Hengdian Incident" happened not long after. Fortunately, the male protagonist's methods were against the sky and nothing happened before the film was released.

However, because of this, many people divided the hero into the camp of the Beijing circle.

And the heroine of the movie, Bai Baihe, has long been a member of the Beijing circle with a clear stand.

Many people think that this movie is a Beijing circle work through and through.

Only the director Xu Chengyi wanted to cry but had no tears. This is obviously an investment film mainly in the Hong Kong circle, why was it somehow divided into the Beijing circle?
But at this moment, he didn't care who spread these messages, because he had more important things to worry about.

That's the box office of the movie.

The box office is the standard to test whether a movie makes money or not.

Word of mouth is the basis for testing whether a director's ability is up to standard.

"Monster Hunt" is Xu Cheng's first work after leaving DreamWorks, so he cares more than anyone else, but he is also afraid that the result will not be satisfactory, so he dare not go to the box office immediately.

The whole person disappeared directly in the circle of friends.

In contrast, Zhou Di, the leading actor of the movie, seemed relatively calm, and spent money to promote his own scene on the day of the release.

In Zhou Di's own opinion, "Monster Hunt" is a standard family carnival movie.

There is basically no complicated suspense in it, and the arrangement of each plot can basically be guessed.

There's not that much adventure in it, but it's funny if it's funny.

At the beginning of its positioning, this movie is a movie for all ages.

It is estimated that children will like it very much.

And Zhou Di was not wrong. The virtual character "Huba" in this movie has been loved by many people on the Internet since the movie was released. It sold for a lot of money.

Even Zhou Di and Bai Baihe, the two real-life protagonists, have been robbed of the limelight a lot.

Although Zhou Di estimated that this movie should make money, he didn't expect this movie to make so much money.

Zhou Di was surprised when he saw the box office of 1.71 million on the first day.

This is the highest-grossing movie on the first day of all the movies he starred in.

In the next few days, the box office basically did not exceed [-] million.

Cao Yun looked happier.

Because the higher the box office of a movie, the more it proves how high the artist's own commercial value is.

It is enough to see that the movie "Monster Hunt" will bring Zhou Di's commercial value to a higher level.

And after "Monster Hunt" came out at the box office, many film media and entertainment news also followed up and reported.

Basically, more than 90% of the media predict that the box office of "Monster Hunt" will break through the 10 billion mark, which is very easy.

Even 15 billion and 20 billion are not hopeless.

In the current film market, foreign blockbusters have always made more money.

At present, the highest box office is an imported blockbuster "Fast and Furious 7", which has attracted much attention since the first film. The domestic box office has reached an astonishing 24 billion.

This number is like a mountain straddling the hearts of all Huaguo filmmakers.

In the film market where it is difficult to break 10 billion, there are actually people who can achieve 24 billion at the box office.

So many filmmakers use this to motivate themselves and even their peers, hoping that among domestic films, there will be a film that beats foreign imported films at the box office.

Basically every movie that performed well at the box office in the early stage will be pinned on such hopes.

With the release of "Monster Hunt" close to 2 million box office on the first day, many media specially changed the title to "Can it surpass "Fast and Furious 7"".

But things often don't go as planned.

There will always be a small fork in the road as you walk.

When Yuji Passerby accidentally flipped through Douban, he suddenly saw the score of "Monster Hunt" that had just been unsealed. After being stunned for 2 seconds, he immediately showed an expression of ecstasy, and then opened it without saying a word. The computer starts editing the news.

It didn't take long before a press release was released that reported the box office of "Monster Hunt" all over the market, and the scope of circulation continued to spread as time went by.

Hong Kong.

Seeing the news in the newspaper, Xu Chengyi was overjoyed.

The huge number of 3 million on the home page made him look at it with fondness.

The box office success of the first live-action movie he directed was so successful, anyone would not be able to help but raise the corners of their mouths.

Although the process is very difficult, but fortunately the result is good.

Because of the replacement and reshoots, the total investment of "Monster Hunt" is 3.5 million.

For such a big production, at least 10 billion at the box office can be counted as a return.

A box office of 10 billion is no small challenge for anyone.

Xu Chengyi was also anxious at first.

But now his mood is much more relaxed.

Although the box office of "Monster Hunt" is still far from 10 billion, Xu Chengyi can at least see a sign of it.

And this sign is still expanding.

According to the results submitted by several professional forecasting agencies.

There is an 10% plus chance that Monster Hunt will hit $89 billion at the final box office.

This is enough to hand over a satisfactory answer to the investor.

Investors only look at whether they can make money.

In their view, a director who can make money is a good director.

So, as the director of this movie, one can imagine the preferential treatment that Xu Chengyi received these two days.

While Xu Chengyi was waiting for his assistant to report yesterday's box office results to him, he didn't want the assistant who pushed away today, and his expression was obviously a little off.

When he saw the assistant's expression at first, Xu Chengyi didn't notice anything wrong, but he didn't notice anything wrong until the assistant came to him slowly, and couldn't help but glanced at him and said.

"What's the matter? Is the box office bad? Are you wearing a face?"

"Without the director, the box office of "Monster Hunt" was still over [-] million yesterday, even higher than the previous day."

The assistant shook his head quickly.

A smile appeared on Xu Chengyi's face, and then he saw the assistant's distracted expression, and felt strange.

"Since our box office is so good, why do you still have such an expression? Shouldn't you be happy with me?"

The assistant looked up at Xu Chengyi with a wry smile on his face.

"Director, I should be happy with you, but at this moment, Mr. Zhou Di may be sad."

"Zhou Di is sad? Why?"

Xu Chengyi was stunned for a moment, but didn't react for a while.

The assistant took out the phone and handed it to Xu Chengyi.

"Director, look."

Xu Chengyi took the phone and looked at it. It was a news from a media that he was slightly familiar with.

Before the content has had time to read, the title is very conspicuous.

["Monster Hunt" Douban 6.2!Zhou Di's worst rated movie ever!Good actors can't resist the temptation of capital! 】

Seeing this title, most of Xu Chengyi's happiness was taken away.
