Chapter 863 “Triple Core” Explosion?

According to the previous schedule of the National Day period, once two hot-selling products appear, the entire National Day period will be propped up as a whole.

So what if a “triple-core” blockbuster appears for the first time during the 2019 National Day holiday?

This expectation has not only attracted great attention from people outside the industry, but also from people within the industry.

And there is a particularly gratifying change this year: this year's National Day period is a real gentleman's battle and healthy competition, the market is very excited and the operations are very rational.

"My People, My Country", "The Climbers" and "The Captain" all announced the start of pre-sales at the same time, and they were all released on September 9th in a very consistent manner.

Such unified behavior greatly regulates the market and avoids all unnecessary marketing chaos.

In terms of the standardization of the film market, this is undoubtedly the strongest National Day period, and it has set the best example for future National Day competition.

30th, Monday, working day.

The three carriages of the National Day holiday started running wildly, directly taking up more than 99% of the screening space.

"The Captain" accounted for 35.3% of the screenings on the first day, "My People, My Country" also won 33.7% of the pre-schedule share on the first day, and "The Climbers" also accounted for 30.2% on the first day.

However, the schedule is highly variable, and everything depends on the battle situation on that day.

At China Film Corporation, Fu Ruoqing, who has officially taken over, sits in the office of the chairman of China Film Corporation.

"How's the data?"

Fu Ruoqing asked his secretary about "My Motherland and I", as it was his political achievement and he must pay attention to it.

"Mr. Fu, the midnight show box office is 2100 million, temporarily ranking second, only behind The Captain's 2600 million. The current cumulative box office is temporarily ranked second, and we have to see the box office in the evening."

"Okay, let's go out."

Fu Ruoqing waved his hand and indicated that he was not surprised by this result.

Although "My People, My Country" has everything going for it, Li Mu's appeal is indeed strong enough, and his marketing is also excellent, so it is normal that many people choose to watch "The Captain" first.

"It all depends on how high the box office can get." Fu Ruoqing muttered to himself.

At this time, Li Mu also received the data report sent by Mengying Media.

"How about it, how about it, are we first?" Liu Yifei squeezed in with her little head sticking out, seeming to be more anxious to see the data than Li Mu.

"As expected!" Li Mu opened it, took a quick look and couldn't help but smile.

In fact, screening the three films together will definitely have an impact and will divert a lot of audiences. If only "The Captain" was released during the National Day holiday, it might have created a single-day history, but with all three films together, that is unlikely, but the overall market is expected to take off.

After get off work on September 9, the cinema suddenly became as lively as if it were Chinese New Year.

"Have you bought movie tickets today?" has become the most popular greeting nowadays.

#If you are not stuck on your way to travel, you may be squeezed in the ticket collection hall of the cinema;
The hot topics on Weibo say it all.

"Tickets for the three National Day tribute films were hard to come by. As of 30 p.m. on the 10th, the box office of the three tribute films, My People, My Country, The Captain, and The Climbers, had all exceeded 3 million yuan.

Among them, "The Captain" directed by Li Mu had a box office of 2.9 million yuan as of press time, becoming the winner on the first day of the National Day holiday.

"."

At around ten o'clock, the box office results were exposed by the media. After all, the three tribute films broke 200 million yuan and tickets were hard to get in the cinema. It can be said that it was a good start for the National Day season of the film and television industry.

But it was obviously unlikely to set a record that day, after all, it was a weekday.

"Do you think Director Li is one against seven?"

On the other side, Xing Aina said to Ning Hao jokingly.

After all, "My Country, My Parents" has seven directors.

Ning Hao pursed his lips, speechless for a moment. If you really think about it, it seems to be true.

"By the way, will Director Li also go to watch the military parade tomorrow?" Xing Aina suddenly thought.

"Go, he must have received the invitation." Ning Hao nodded.

"Then let's go together. They should be in the same area."

"Okay, I'll talk to him about it." Ning Hao thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Li Mu was just about to take a shower and rest when he saw Ning Hao's call and was a little puzzled.

"Oh, if you want to talk about this, it's ok. Let's do it earlier."

When Li Mu heard that Ning Hao had announced the military parade tomorrow in advance, he decided to attend as he was an invited guest, especially since it was the 70th anniversary.

As for the promotion of the movie, it has to be put off until the next day, otherwise Ning Hao would not have said he wanted to participate.

"What's the matter?"

At this time, Liu Yifei was wiping her wet hair with a towel, leaning sideways.

"No, Lao Ning said we'll go together tomorrow."

"Oh, about this!" Liu Yifei suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "Speaking of this, your daughter is very excited. She kept asking me what a military parade is tonight."

"You'll know if you take her to see it tomorrow."

As it is National Day, a grand day, and the 70th anniversary at that, the celebration is naturally unprecedented and the square has already been boiling.

When Li Mu and Ning Hao and their group arrived, they were also shocked by the scene before them. When the first rays of dawn shone on the square, the huge crowds of people were breathtaking, what a magnificent National Day picture!

Although Li Mu has participated several times, each time feels different.

"Wow, so many people." The little bun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

“So, don’t run around. Daddy will carry you over there.” Although it was extremely safe, Li Mu was afraid that the little kid would get lost in the crowd, so he simply picked up the little kid and walked towards his own area.

"Starting from the night before, hundreds of thousands of people rushed into the square," Xing Aina said to Liu Yifei with a smile.

"Are Wu Jing and the others in the National Day parade?"

Li Mu seemed to have thought of something as he walked.

"Yes, they are in the parade. Oh, and we seem to be almost there. They are just in front." Ning Hao pointed to a place in the distance where there was an area for invited people in the industry.

Brother Chen Kai and others had already arrived.

"Here they come!" Brother Chen Kai smiled and stood up. "Oh, little Baozi is here too. Here, this little red flag is for you."

"Thank you, uncle!" The little boy was very excited holding the small red flag. He looked at everyone holding one and immediately treasured it very much.

Many people came, including Yao Chen, Tong Liya, Chen Sicheng, Tao Hong, Lin Yongjian, Wu Gang, and Han Yu.
At this moment, Liu Yifei turned around, suddenly very excited, and waved her hand quickly, "Jingying, here!"

"Hey, little bastard, do you still remember me?" After Zhang Liangying came over to say hello, she wanted to pinch the little bastard's face, but the little bastard was too familiar with this trick. He had experienced it countless times from childhood to now, and had long learned how to dodge it.

He just turned sideways and dodged.

The little boy pouted and looked at Zhang Jingying, as if asking why she wanted to pinch her face.

"Auntie was wrong. I won't pinch you anymore." Zhang Jingying squatted down and admitted her mistake to the little bun. "How about you pinch my face?"

Upon hearing this, the little bun immediately stretched out his little hand.

When several people saw it, they all laughed.

"It's really nice!"

"It's up to you to decide." The little boy quickly hid behind Liu Yife.

"You look well." Liu Yifei stared at Zhang Jingying and said.

"I'll introduce you to each other some other day. Actually, you've already met each other. Hey, it's not like I haven't told you before." Zhang Jingying shyly lifted her hair and then patted Liu Yifei's arm.

On the contrary, the little bun was dissatisfied, "I can't make a nest, mom."

"What if I fight?"

"That nest is going to beat you up," the little bun said aggressively.

"Baby, mommy's love for you is not in vain." Liu Yifei was very happy and kissed the little boy's face.

"Disgusted, all saliva"

"Hahaha!"

As time passed, when the dawn gradually became brighter, the square now showed a clear outline.

At one time, hundreds of thousands of people surged like a flood, and seemed to burst out with a tremendous vitality.

The atmosphere in the square suddenly reached a climax, with applause and cheers rising one after another.

Li Mu and others stood up, applauding and cheering.

At this time, the square was filled with steel spears like a forest and iron armor clanging.

As they entered the venue with neat steps and powerful military drum beats, it seemed to shake people's hearts for a moment.

The little bun's big eyes watched this scene closely, and when he recalled it many years later, he still remembered it vividly.
Li Mu did not go to the party because he had to lead a team to promote the event in the imperial capital the next day, and then go to the Magic City and other places.

The box office figures for the first day of National Day have also been released. "The Captain" continued to perform well, soaring directly to 4 million yuan in box office revenue, earning 4.02 million yuan.

"My Country, My Parents" followed closely behind with 3.88 million.

What no one expected was that "The Climbers" was a flop, only earning 1.36 million yuan at the box office, which was really shocking.

However, the overall box office reached 9.5 million, thanks to the more than 2 million box office of "Abominable".

But even so, the single-day National Day box office record of 9.5 million still set a single-day box office record for the National Day period.

It's just a little short of the one billion mark predicted by the media, which is a bit regrettable.

However, various discussions about the poor performance of "The Climbers" have also emerged on the Internet.

"This movie is way off topic. I remember the early marketing was about a "strongest alliance" of Chinese climbers using their flesh and blood to fight the blizzard and conquer Mount Everest. How did it become "Love on Mount Everest"? I'm so dizzy."

"No, buddy, we are watching the main theme, the passionate journey to conquer Mount Everest, not a love story. Is there something wrong with the main theme?"

"."

There are more and more complaints, and the reputation of "The Climbers" has seriously declined, from a Douban score of 7.0 at the beginning to only 6.7 points now.

On the other hand, "The Captain" and "My People, My Country" became increasingly strong, supporting expectations for the National Day holiday.

"Fortunately!"

Chen Kai also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The second day of the screening was over. So far, "My People, My Country" has been a success. If it fails like "The Climbers", he doesn't know how to explain it.
