It became the world's highest-grossing debut with $4.76 million.

"Harry" has also become the protagonist of the North American box office list. With the blessing of a series of data such as the film's historical box office and word-of-mouth, "Harry" shines brightly.

This is a grander event than [Lord of the Rings 3] and [Star Wars Episode 3]! The global film market is singing praises for [Harry].

And now "The Invisible Guest" will challenge "Harry"'s box office authority.

[Invisible Guest] Netizens on the Weibo account cheered for the movie, including fans of suspense movies, fans of Lin Gao, Tang Tang, Zhang Ziyi, and some patriotic netizens.

"I'm really looking forward to Brother Lin's new movie. It should be released soon!"

"The last hope for domestic films is to win the box office championship next week! Director Lin, go, go, go!!!"

"I like Tang Tang and Lin Gao's movie. I like both stars. I'm so excited."

"Come on the domestic suspense movies! I hope Director Lin will come up with something new."

……

[Harry Potter] book and movie fans are very disgusted with such remarks. They are extreme fans and do not want others to trample on the beauty in their minds.

"Forestry entertainment propaganda is scary to death. Please don't touch porcelain pottery and improve your status, okay?"

"Do you think Harry can be bullied after just one week of release? The box office in the second week was higher than yours!"

“Let’s surpass [The Smurfs]’s box office first.”

Among the netizens who are opposed to [The Invisible Guest], Harry Potter fans account for some. Among them are those who lead the way, and some netizens who hate Lin Gao. Several groups are mixed together.

The two parties had a very heated argument, which also attracted many passers-by and netizens.

"The movie's box office in its first week must have been very high. I feel like [guests] can win."

"I'm optimistic about [Harry]. Suspense is a niche genre in China and has no chance of winning against the big global IPs. If Lin Gao's name wasn't listed in the director column, it wouldn't be worth discussing at all!"

"Don't forget, Lin Gao seems to have never lost before."

……

During Lin Gao's offline road show, entertainment reporters present asked about the competition at the box office:

"Director Lin, [Guest] and [Harry] are competing head-on. Netizens are discussing the outcome very intensely. Are you confident?"

Tang Tang and Zhang Ziyi's eyes moved to Lin Gao. "It would be a lie if I said I was confident. Harry's performance at the box office is overwhelming. He has huge popularity and market. No director would want to compete head-on with [Harry]. That would be asking for death." road."

“When the release date of [The Guest] was announced at the company meeting, most of the people advised me to adjust the date.”

"I hesitated. That's Harry Potter, a monster that's invincible in the international film market! Do I really want to compete head-on with him?"

"I persuaded myself in my mind, hey, that's a big Hollywood movie, it's a blockbuster movie that has broken countless records. There's no shame in avoiding it."

"We just want to make way for Hollywood movies, and we have to surrender."

"Waiting for me to accumulate strength, waiting for seven or eighty?"

"That's not the result I want!"

"Surrendering without fighting is a shame!"

"I would rather die standing than live on my knees!"

……

Chen Sichen watched Lin Gao's interview on the TV with an expressionless expression. His evaluation was a very smart move. It would at least attract some movie fans who didn't know how to watch [Guests]. It was a precise marketing move.

But marketing cannot play a decisive role. Movie plot is the magic weapon to win.

August 20th.

Chen Sichen bought a [Guest] movie ticket and went to Kyoto Broadway Cinema to watch it. The best way to understand a person is to watch his works.

BJ Broadway Cinema Center is an influential cinema in BJ City. The cinema mainly screens excellent domestic and foreign films, attracting a large number of audiences.

Kyoto Broadway Cinema Center provides audiences with a high-quality movie viewing experience.

After Chen Sichen sat at the designated seat, he looked around. People were coming and going, and the empty seat was soon filled with spectators.

What a terrifying box office appeal!

How can an unpopular suspense movie have such a large audience?

Chen Sichen was aggrieved, God was unfair.

[Guest] The duration is 107 minutes, which is a standard movie length. After watching it for one hour and thirteen minutes, a thought came to Chen Sichen's mind, I will never be able to surpass him!

The emergence of this idea made him very frustrated. The puzzle-solving stage of suspense movies is the most attractive. He was shocked by the meticulous logic of [Guest].

Chen Sichen unwillingly continued to wear colored glasses to magnify the shortcomings of [the guest].

How can you give in?

He is his love rival!

However, when Zhang Ziyi's identity was revealed, Chen Sichen's shock reached its peak.

The scene was filled with exclamations, and the audience was also shocked by the plot.

"This is the best suspense movie I have ever seen! Lin Gao is so awesome."

"This movie must have a high box office. I will definitely watch it a second or third time!"

“It’s actually an orthodox suspense movie, damn it!!!”

Chen Sichen sadly discovered that he actually agreed with the audience's point of view.

Damn, this is actually good news. I am now Lin Gao's man, and the stronger he is, the better! Chen Sichen quickly coaxed herself.

The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, Linye Entertainment announced the box office results of last night's Youth.

[Guest] The box office on the first day exceeded 4500 million, breaking the record!

Director @林高's "The Invisible Guest" was released nationwide on August 8. As of 20:21 on the 9st, according to incomplete statistics, the box office on the first day of its premiere had exceeded 4500 million, setting a new first-day box office record for Chinese-language films! ! !
