Chapter 267: Word-of-mouth Counterattack

"Huh." Liu Hui breathed a long sigh of relief, and his palms were all sweaty. Of course, 20 million is not her goal. This time for "Sirius", Huace's internal goal is to guarantee a minimum of [-] billion. Sprinting for [-] billion, of course, to achieve this result, you have to be second in this period!

It is even said that unless there is a big explosion this May Day, the third place will be able to achieve this result. In short, the pressure is still very high.

However, the situation of this announcement has made a good start. According to this trend, unless the earth collapses in the future, it will be possible to recover the original investment, which is the so-called reaching more than [-] million.

"Huh." Liu Hui breathed a long sigh of relief, and his hands were a little nervous. Then he picked up the coffee on the table and took a breath. Finally, a warm current surged down his dry throat.

I looked out the window, it was pitch dark, and there were not many people on the entire floor.

"Mr. Liu, it's getting late. Don't stay here any longer. Go back and rest. There will be more accurate data tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Liu Hui rubbed the center of his eyebrows. As soon as he said this, a strong sense of exhaustion really filled his heart.

After getting up and walking a few steps, Liu Hui suddenly thought of something and turned around and asked, "Are there two more movies?"

"Oh." The assistant quickly looked back on the list, and then reported, ""The River" has a rating of 7.7, ranking 12, and current sales of 77."

""Cemetery Encounter", rating..., no statistics, sales of 12, ranking 34th."

"I know." Liu Hui shook his head, got up and went back.

If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes.

……

Just when Liu Hui went back to rest, the first batch of people in the midnight slot were still suffering in the cinema.

In the hall, six people huddled together, how could they sleep when they were so nervous?He just tried his best to squint, but after squinting, Zhang Guang was shaken awake, and he immediately heard the news of a collapse.

"What, it's 7:20??"

Zhang Guang was covered in sweat.

"Fuck, what did I say, you retard, they didn't come, they didn't come, we are locked up here, damn, why is there no signal on the phone!"

"You have to be crazy to create any show effect. Now it's better and you've locked yourself up!!"

Zhang Guang was embarrassed for a while, unable to explain.

"Knock it away, stop talking, and get out quickly. I don't want to stay in this damn place for a second!"

The six people discussed it for a while. The heavy and weird footsteps suddenly appeared upstairs, which frightened the six people downstairs. They probably didn't need any other instruments after packing their luggage!

Six people turned over a rescue stretcher and used their strength to hit the door.

After five times, the door was slammed open and the lock fell to the ground.

The photographer hurriedly opened the door, eager to welcome the rising sun. The moment he opened the door, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole.

"Fuck, fuck!"

"Did we go to the wrong place!!"

Like everyone in the movie, I felt like I had fallen into an ice hole. Behind the door, there was still an extremely dark corridor!

It was exactly the same as the place they had just walked through, no different.

"We must have gone to the wrong place. This damn place is not the gate at all. No wonder no one opened the door for us. Can any of you tell me where the gate is!"

"You stupid pigs, can you make a mistake in choosing a place?"

One of the roommates was sweating profusely, "It's impossible, it's impossible. This is the lobby. I remember it clearly. I entered the door, walked around, and installed the equipment here. How could it be possible to leave?" Wrong!"

"Then tell me, where is the door? Where is the door!"

"Look!!" The psychic suddenly said in fear. Several people closed the door. When they took a look, they couldn't help but feel a gust of cold air rushing straight to the sky. On the back of the door, which was the entrance that should have been the door, there was something familiar. Green graffiti, "Place of the Dead"

"Don't be nervous, everyone." Zhang Guang tried his best to calm everyone's emotions, took a deep breath, and said with a forced smile, "It must be a coincidence. This graffiti must be painted on more than one place at the gate."

"We started setting up the venue after dark, right? We saw it when we came in. This place is very big."

"Some halls are designed very similarly, and this is normal. As long as we find the exit, we'll be done right away!"

"Is there any exit?" A pessimistic voice suddenly sounded, "Look, what time is it now?"

"7:40, what's wrong?"

"Don't you think it's strange?" Jiang Wen said desperately, "Why is it still so dark outside? Shouldn't it be bright early? I've checked the weather these days, and it's almost dawn at 6:40. "

"Look outside, there's no light at all!"

Everyone wanted to refute, but were suddenly unable to refute.

For a movie, the audience present can only use two words to describe the movie-watching experience, "jail"!
Lively being tortured along with the people in the movie, watching with wide eyes how others died.

Mouthless ghosts, evil hospitals, bathtubs filled with blood, huge mouthless monsters, strange and evil teammates, and silhouettes of people passing by in the peripheral vision from time to time.

A hand reaching out from the ceiling, like the countless arms growing in the cemetery.

Each one was so high-energy that everyone in the cinema was frightened.

Finally, by the time the movie was over, the audience was swaying when they walked out of the cinema.

In the middle of the night, the last wave of data was updated. "Yin Yang Town" had a score of 2.4. Immediately afterwards, because of the director's affairs, the superiors finally reacted and banned the film by name.

The movie was hastily removed from shelves.

The score of "Cemetery Encounter" has been updated to 9.9.

……

"Boss, it's hot!" The next morning, at just after five o'clock, Lin Yu was woken up by the voice of the second woodchuck. "Look at the score. It's 9.8. We are the best among all movies. !”

"It makes me laugh. The Fast 4 score is only 9.1, and it's still falling. We have such a great reputation."

"It's just that the sales were a little low. They only sold 36 yuan in one night. You won't lose money, right?"

"Your uncle, you told me this all morning." Lin Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes, "I can't fight anymore. As long as the reputation is good, our filming rate will continue to increase."

"The money we invested in promoting it before was definitely not wasted, but our schedules are all at midnight, and most of the filming scenes will not be arranged by the theaters for you!"

"A small number of people originally scheduled one show in the middle of the night to test the waters. Don't worry, our main battlefield will be in four days. When the main movies have cooled down, our movie schedule will increase significantly."

"Okay, boss, you are still confident!"

Lin Yu pulled the quilt over his head, "It's time to go to bed. It's May Day. Go back to your home at dawn. Don't stay here..., hoo, hoo..."

……

During the prime time of May Day, the fight broke out in this silence.

Most people only care about the first few blockbusters. May Day is only a few days, and the audience will choose to watch all of them in different ways, or just watch one, and then wait for the reputation of the other movies to come out. look.

But with a score of 9.8, Encounter in the Cemetery is still a bit too beautiful and refined.

Liu Hui, who stayed up until after three o'clock yesterday, came to the company in a hurry the next day with a dark circle under his eye for more than seven days.

Who can sleep here?

"How is "Sirius" going?" "8.3 points, but it has sold 700 million. On the first day today, starting from the afternoon, our box office will explode. It is expected to exceed 5000 million on the first day!"

"Super 4 is so scary. It has already sold for 2000 million. It is estimated that it will reach more than 2 million on the first day."

Liu Hui's expression was extremely ugly. At the speed of Super 4, this movie might not cost more than 50 billion!

This is an unlucky kid who got unlucky. It's not entirely because she's jealous of other people's achievements. The total box office for a holiday is relatively fixed. The more popular people are, the more they will take up your schedule.

If this trend continues, "Sirius" will be greatly affected.

Liu Hui took a deep breath, but at least Tianlang's trend was good and there was no big trend, which was enough for her to be relieved.

Liu Hui picked up the tea cup and took a sip of coffee to refresh himself. He felt slightly better from the fatigue of staying up all night.

"At 12 o'clock in the evening, when the statistics for the whole day are released, please remember to tell me."

"Okay." The assistant hesitated, "Um, that's right."

"what happened?"

"Cemetery Encounter has become a hit. It's 22, and it sold for almost 100 million. Mainly because its reputation is still 9.7, which is very unbelievable."

Liu Hui was stunned for a moment, "Word-of-mouth rating 9.7??"

Of course, this is the first day's data, and the box office of "Grave Encounter" is low. This kind of word-of-mouth reputation does not count. Every year, there is a sea of ​​such movies that are both well-received and not popular. In the end, don't movies still watch the box office?
You end up selling it for 1000 million, so what if your rating is 10?

A group of niche people are just entertaining themselves.

The starting point for the encounter in the cemetery is really too low, I hope it will rush up. .For Encounter in the Cemetery to become popular, it has to do well at the box office, not because of word-of-mouth.

"This kid is indeed quite talented." Liu Hui shook his head and gave Lin Yu a summary.

Back home, Lin Yu of course chose to spend the beautiful May Day at home. Anyway, he dragged Lin Kaihai and Su Meijing to watch the movie he made.

(TV on demand is available, but the price is expensive, as mentioned above)

Lin Kaihai originally resisted horror movies, so he couldn't stand the fact that his son wrote, directed, and acted in the movie, so he could only admire it to save face. After watching the movie for 10 minutes, Su Meijing was scared and ran away.

Only Lin Yu was left entangled with Lin Kaihai, watching from beginning to end together.

"Encounter in the Graveyard" got off to a very good start this time. It gave Lin Yu a lot of confidence to make his next movie. The next one, "Charlotte", will definitely be a success.

On the first day of the May Day Golden Week, Liu Hui stayed up until midnight again in the office, insisting on reading first-hand information.

The fighting in the first week was a little clearer.

"Manager Liu, "Fast 4", rating 9.0, box office 2.5 million."

Liu Hui took a breath of air. What kind of concept was this? It almost broke the ceiling of foreign film premieres. Her eyes were filled with darkness. The May [-]st movie was a Big Mac.

But how can I put it, which prime time period does not have giant crocodiles? ?
You have to choose one to bump into, but you end up bumping into the best one of the year. Who do you blame?

The results of Super 4 are absolutely incredible.

No need to think about it, if this trend continues, and the reputation is not low, this wave will start at 50 billion, and this time on May [-]st, it will explode!

This is definitely seismic news in the industry!

""Sword Rain", rating 8.4, box office 4000 million."

""Feng Shen 2, Di Xin" (animation), box office 3700 million, rating 8.9"

""Sirius", box office 2400 million, rating 8.2."

Liu Hui's mood suddenly deteriorated.

From the above, it is almost clear that Sirius will be at the bottom of the May [-]st bracket this time.

But it doesn’t matter if it’s at the bottom. How big the traffic will be on May [-]st. If this trend continues, it’s safe for Sirius to collect a billion in box office. It just depends on the trend.

Unfortunately, the trend started to look a bit wrong for no apparent reason!
Although it's only the first day, the stamina seems to be running out, and the rating keeps dropping.

This is not right!
Liu Hui's hand when he picked up the coffee cup suddenly started to tremble a little.

Her intuition vaguely told her to do something bad!
But she refused to admit it.

"Okay, I see."

"Manager Liu, don't worry. We can continue to observe. The data will keep changing. It is not accurate on the first day. We only look at the announcement. At least look at the trend for five days."

It can even take half a month to see the trend of the success or failure of some movies. There is no way around it.

There was a lot of fuss on the first day and it was a bit disappointing.

"Okay, everyone is tired. Let's go back and rest early." Looking at the night outside the window, Liu Hui was in a bad mood. He didn't want to ask about other data and went back to rest.

On May [-]st, all kinds of gossip about the box office began to hit the hot searches.

What Fast 4 was released on the first day was 2.5 million, tying the second-highest figure in history.

A good start on May Day, four movies went hand in hand, and so on.

Suddenly, amidst all kinds of entertainment and gossip news, the killing was lively.

But among these news, there is a piece of gossip interspersed in it, which is to introduce the niche movie "Encounter in the Cemetery".

There's nothing I can do about it, the reputation of 9.7 is too dazzling.

On the Internet, some big movie stars who had probably screened a few movies on the first day began to brag about it.

At this time, there will probably be clues about the direction of the wind.

"How can I describe the movie Fast 4? It is a very classic popcorn movie. It has always continued the big scenes and brotherhood from before, and also brought out the big tank chase."

"If you watch Lehe, I can only say, Invincible. This is a commercial movie. There are not many good movies. I am optimistic that Super 4 will exceed 50 billion at the box office."

There have been reviews for several other movies, and overall they have mixed reviews. In short, there is no movie that people can't find fault with.

But the quality of this batch is indeed good. People in the industry almost estimate that this will be a bumper harvest.

In addition to Fast 4, there are probably three movies that have exceeded one billion, and one that has probably exceeded two billion.

Among these voices, "Sirius" is the one that has been criticized the most.

……

"Strongly Amway "Encounter in the Graveyard", well, the light of the domestic horror movie, the rating is not exaggerated, the quality is not bad, at first I also thought that this movie may not have a higher rating, curious to go in and take a look, hold the grass, a treasure in the ocean ah!"

"This movie is definitely the biggest surprise during May Day!"

"..."

Some netizens posted enthusiastic posts on the Internet. Unfortunately, the popularity was too low and died down within a few minutes.

But a small circle has a vague power.
