Chapter 382 [65] Breaking the record of "Hero"!

"The pre-sale of "House of Flying Daggers" has only been open for less than a day, and the pre-sale box office of Shencheng has exceeded 200 million, and the theater has been receiving reservations from some groups and individuals one after another!"

"The pre-sales for Magic City are 89, and for Imperial Capital are 93!"

"The total national pre-sale box office has exceeded the 450 million mark, and it is very likely to exceed 500 million in a single day. This pre-sale result is second only to the pre-sale record of 620 million on the first day of "Heroes" the year before last!"

"..."

On the evening of July 7, Liu Yifei looked at the special feature on "House of Flying Daggers" on Sina's website, and still showed an incredible look.

The box office of 500 million was achieved even before it was released.

The key is that there is still one week left before the actual release.

Is this Zhang Yimou’s box office appeal?

"Is the pre-sale box office reported by Sina News true?"

The premiere will be broadcast live around the world.

Passionate and beautiful.

It adopts the most traditional Chinese elements, such as domes, lattice windows, peonies, etc.

The number of theaters has increased, and the cost of publicity and distribution has also increased, but it still cannot be surpassed.

21st century technology, coupled with Chen Yu's 19-year-old age, coupled with Cheng Xiaodong's martial arts guidance, Zhang Yimou's graphics...all of this is indeed the top action blockbuster.

In many cases, Shenzhen City is even a city, accounting for one-tenth of the national box office.

A large curtain is wrapped around the big stage, and laser lights will be used to print various introductions about the film.

"The status of "Hero" is still rising. After all, one movie accounted for a quarter of the total box office for the year!"

Later, he will have to have a real battle on the stage.

"4.1%!"

In addition, in order to participate in the Oscars that year, "Heroes" had a mysterious premiere in Shenzhen, and had to use ID cards to pass through security checkpoints. This also caused a sensation in the entire film market. Therefore, when "Heroes" came back from the Oscars, it was released nationwide. Only then will people flock in immediately.

The whole place was covered with green tulle, totaling more than 5000 meters, and graceful peonies bloomed on it.

The staff behind the scenes who were responsible for statistics were talking excitedly.

Countless people can see it very clearly on TV.

Peony Square, this is a very important scene in "House of Flying Daggers".

As soon as Zhang Yimou's introduction ended, a sky full of snowflakes appeared on the stage. This was an effect created by computer lights. There are only 4 of these computer lights in Asia, and they were all moved here for the snow.

At the same time, most of the movie's promotional videos are actually focused on fighting and dancing.

At the same time, there are also Zhang Ziyi's dance clips.

But at present, the world is still dominated by Shenzhen; Guangdong Province alone accounts for one-fifth of the country's box office.

Since 2009, the Magic City box office has been unparalleled ever since.

According to relevant analysts, "Hero" is Zhang Yimou's first martial arts blockbuster. In addition, the audience has great expectations for his previous movies, so the audience wants to see what happens.

Unexpectedly, the ratings of a movie premiere program seemed to be suppressing the ratings of the prime-time TV series next door.

The scenery of the entire stage is simply magnificent, magnificent and beautiful.

The box office of "Hero" alone in Shenzhen City has reached 1500 million. Although this is related to the fact that it was screened in Shenzhen City for a week in advance, it also illustrates the horror of the box office in Shenzhen City.

Lao Mouzi walked onto the stage and began to introduce the achievements and awards won by "House of Flying Daggers".

"This is a completely real fight. The fighting in "Heroes" is mainly based on artistic conception, but this time in "House of Flying Daggers" we adopted a close-up action scene. Chen Yu also suffered a lot of injuries, but he still persevered. !”

"It is indeed a bit higher on the first day. The total pre-sale box office of "Hero" was 3000 million. It is still difficult to break this record!"

You know, this is not one channel of CCTV, but six movie channels. Often, only when good movies are shown can the ratings of one channel be exceeded occasionally.

Daolang's singing was accompanied by majestic dubbing and police officers, and the ratings of the premiere were rising steadily.

Liu Yifei was exchanging messages with Chen Yu while waiting for the premiere of "House of Flying Daggers" to begin.

Shencheng has always been the largest single-city ticket warehouse in the country because of its proximity to Xiangjiang. It is incomparable even to the Magic City and the Imperial City. It was not until 2008 that the Imperial City became the mainland leader in one fell swoop, and then it did not arrive for a year.

"Everyone should have seen it!"

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was 8 o'clock in the evening.

"I can responsibly say that this is the most realistic and beautiful fight scene I have ever seen!"

The movies of Lao Mouzi and Xing Ye have always been very popular among the people of Shenzhen.

In fact, Chen Yu already knew about this pre-sale box office.

Chen Yu shook his head. Wearing Chen Captou's first brocade robe and embroidered clothes, he stood there vigorously. A solid iron spear was placed aside.

As for this time, after people saw the trailer and posters of "House of Flying Daggers", they found that it has many similarities with "Hero" in terms of costumes, colors, fighting, etc., except for the male protagonist Chen Yu's punches in the publicity. Apart from the fighting scenes, it actually didn’t come up with any new tricks, so the pre-sales were a bit poor.

Chen Yu originally thought that relying on his Cannes best actor, Lao Mouzi's best director, Cannes nomination... global fermentation, etc., the pre-sales of "House of Flying Daggers" could surpass "Hero" in one fell swoop; he did not expect that , with such momentum, it still failed to surpass this film from 2 years ago!
One can imagine how powerful "Hero" was back then.

Clang clang!
The high-octane scenes of Chen Yu fighting with his opponents quickly in the bamboo forest, as well as the shots of the man and the horse uniting, appeared in everyone's sight again and again.

At the same time, on a large stage behind him, a huge waterfall seemed to wash down, and then the fighting actions from the movie "House of Flying Daggers" appeared on it, especially many of Chen Yu's highlight fights. , scenes flashed rapidly there.

"What a good thing!"

“The higher the ratings, the better for box office pre-sales!”

Zhang Yimou was comforting. He was sitting on a stool backstage. From his perspective, he could see what was going on on the stage.

At the end of Daolang's song, Chen Yu held a spear in his hand and flew down from the sky while hanging wires. He danced like a gun in mid-air, then spun around and jumped onto the stage.

"it is good!"

Most of the 7 spectators at the Workers' Stadium cheered.

Today's Worker's Stadium was packed with seats. More than 7 tickets had been sold out a few days ago. There were many scalpers and people rushed to buy the tickets at an additional price of RMB 500.

The atmosphere of the whole venue, with Chen Yu's cool shooting skills and the martial arts of "Traveling Mountains and Rivers", the premiere only started for ten minutes, and it was completely plunged into a sea of ​​carnival.

Chen Yu's warm-up definitely brought the atmosphere to its climax.

"Young people, you really understand the tastes of young people!" "Hahaha, if the atmosphere is not good, you may have to buy movie tickets!"

Zhang Yimou was chatting with Huo Tingxiao backstage, and Huo Tingxiao also sighed a little at the enthusiasm of the scene.

He really didn't expect that Chen Yu's self-effacing song would be so popular with the audience.

"The ratings have been rising!"

"It's up another 1%!"

Assistant director Chang Xiaoyang also came to Lao Mouzi's side and beat the music to Chen Yu's song.

"There is a drama, and I feel it can surpass the ratings of CCTV!"

To be honest, Huo Tingxiao is very concerned about the ratings; Lao Mouzi only cares about the box office performance. To him, the premiere is just for fun, but Huo Tingxiao is the person in charge, so of course he wants to deliver a perfect performance.

At this time, Chen Yu's performance ended and Liu Dehua began to sing again.

At present, Hua Zai's popularity in China is also quite high, and the ratings are still rising steadily.

Chen Yu was resting backstage. Half an hour later, he had to perform "Not a Hero" on stage with a knife.

An hour and a half passed by unconsciously.

Chen Yu began to perform magic tricks on stage, but the staff responsible for counting the ratings were more excited than the other.

To be honest, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala still have ups and downs; but there are too many big names in this premiere. Starting from the initial 4.1% ratings, the backstage ratings curve has never dropped downwards. It is completely upward trend.

This shows that the number of viewers is increasing.

Not to mention breaking CCTV's set of prime time slots, the current Six Princesses are definitely in the lead.

The ratings of 18.6% were recorded on CCTV 2, which is also the highest ratings record in the past two years.

"The leader of the movie channel just called me and asked us to hold more parties like this!"

Huo Tingxiao was talking there, and Lao Mouzi also shook his head. This was not something he could do if he wanted to. If it wasn't to promote a movie, who would be willing to spend 1000 million to hold such a party? !

"However, this shows from the side that there is still a market for parties!"

"Just one Spring Festival Gala a year is really too monotonous!"

Huo Tingxiao still has a keen sense of business, and Zhang Yimou also smiled: "That's for sure. There are really too few entertainment projects for Chinese people!"

If Chen Yu were here, he would definitely remember that at the end of next year, Mango TV would be the first of its kind in the country to hold the first New Year's Eve concert in mainland China. The ratings were as high as 19.6%, which directly overturned CCTV and shocked people. All media across the country.

You know, CCTV's ratings have always been the first in the country during off-season, and no satellite TV has ever been able to shake it.

But that time, Mango Channel successfully challenged CCTV's authority for the first time, and it was a defeat.

After that, the New Year’s Eve Gala began to become a mainstream program, and the combined revenue generated by several major TV stations was no less than that of CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala.

In later generations, many streaming media, such as Bilibili, etc., also joined the ranks of New Year's Eve.

Now, the premiere of "House of Flying Daggers" can be said to have set a precedent for galas after the Spring Festival Gala. It is no wonder that the ratings are not high.

In the previous life, "House of Flying Daggers" was so bad, it was able to sell 1.6 million at the box office, and this show was indispensable.

Media and title - "A Spring Festival Gala in July".

And in this life, with Chen Yu joining the team, it will obviously only become more explosive!

Ten minutes later, Chen Yu's magic show ended, and the ratings, which had been growing slowly, once again reached a new high.

19.8%!

It's just a little short of reaching 20%, a ratings record rarely achieved by CCTV's six sets.

20% ratings, how many years ago was this data?

"I estimate that after watching our premiere party, CCTV will have more and more party programs!"

"If I had known earlier, I should have gotten more sponsorships!"

Zhang Weiping said quite smugly, after all, he was the one who came up with the idea for this premiere.

Can you get a 20% ratings by playing tickets?

Who dares to believe this?

CCTV leaders were so happy that they couldn't find the answer.

"We haven't reached the climax yet!"

"Catherine Bartel hasn't come out yet!"

This was the "nuclear bomb" invited by Zhang Weiping and cost 50 US dollars.

“I don’t know if tomorrow’s pre-sale will be better than today!”

"I originally thought I could surpass "Heroes", but now I can only count on this party!"

Zhang Weiping was talking to Zhang Yimou, and Chen Yu just happened to come down from performing a magic trick, and he was sweating profusely. Wearing props and magic costumes on a hot day in July is definitely a test for actors.

"Brother Yu, hard work, hard work!"

Zhang Weiping took the initiative to pass mineral water to Chen Yu for the first time.

Everyone knows that the high ratings of this show have something to do with several of Chen Yu's programs.

Especially that magic trick, the ratings suddenly increased by 1%, which is quite incredible.

"fine!"

Chen Yu took a few gulps of water, then let out a sigh of relief and said, "I hope the box office can be higher, preferably better than "Hero"!"

"Haha, who doesn't think so!"

"However, the record of 2.5 million for "Hero" is really not that easy to break. Judging from the subsequent pre-sales, there is also a response within 7 days of watching the movie!"

"If the audience responds well, I might give it a try!"

Zhang Weiping still had some predictions about the market, while Chen Yu was sitting there resting, waiting for the party to end!
He has completed today's mission.

Next, all his expectations are based on the box office of "House of Flying Daggers".
