Chapter 587 [14] The market explodes! Heaven and earth are on the same side!
clap clap clap!
Listening to the warm applause from the front audience, Chen Yu knew that the duet by Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli had received a very good response.

This song in my previous life really made many people cry.

At a time when mobile Internet had not yet taken off, online discussions were obviously intensified.

In the past life, it was the combination of the Spring Festival Gala and short videos that made this program and this song popular.

Today, the promotion of BBS, forums and even major music platforms also plays a divergent role.

“This song is like telling a story!”

“I didn’t expect Liu Yifei to sing so well!”

"Is that really her mother?"

"I want to know the name of this song in 20 seconds!"

"+1!"

Posts are posted on the Spring Festival Gala forum very quickly. If we were to say which is the most active gathering place in 06, it would definitely be the forum.

Even Chen Yu's Nokia smartphone has a Baidu Tieba application installed.

However, you can only use 2G data to log in to this app, and the use of WiFi is currently prohibited in China; because in order to develop its own wireless communication standards, China has banned the use of WiFi technology and launched the wapi standard.

But this wapi is difficult to use, and Chen Yu doesn’t know when the wifi will be unblocked.

That was the beginning of the rise of Chinese smartphones.

Today's mobile phones can only access 2.5G network at best. The speed is of course extremely slow in Chen Yu's eyes, but Tieba and QQ are very smooth.

"It's over!"

Liu Yifei, sweating profusely, walked up to Chen Yu in a naive manner.

Liu Xiaoli also had some sweat on her forehead, which she was wiping.

It can be seen that the two people on the stage were not as relaxed as they showed in the show, but fortunately, they insisted on finishing the singing.

There are some minor flaws, but overall it is still above standard. He sang with emotion and the pitch is also okay. After all, he is not a professional, and Chen Yu personally thinks that the effect of this show is already very ok.

“All the reviews are online!”

"Aunt Liu, you are going to be famous!"

Chen Yu said to Liu Xiaoli, and Liu Xiaoli smiled slightly: "What's the point of being popular or not? You and Yifei are doing well, which is better than anything else!"

"But mom, you're really famous. A lot of people say you and I are sisters!"

Liu Yifei looked at the comments on the forum that Chen Yu had just read. There was actually only one comment, saying that Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli looked like sisters, and she saw it.

Liu Xiaoli hit her, but Liu Yifei was watching with great interest and automatically ignored the negative comments.

"Let's go, let's talk to some teachers and go home!"

Chen Yu did not let Liu Yifei participate in the subsequent roadshow. Firstly, it was too tiring, and secondly, she did not have many parts.

Jiang Yilang and Chen Yu didn't let her follow them, but they really wanted her to spend the New Year with the Jiang family.

Jiang Wen's father and mother rarely see their granddaughter all year round, so this can be considered an opportunity created by Chen Yu for their family.

After the Chinese New Year, Chen Yu will have to go to Jiang Wen’s crew to “sit on the wax”.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Benshan, Xie Tingfeng and others, Chen Yu took Liu Yifei home to celebrate the New Year. His relatives were already waiting for him at his home in Yinhu. Liu Yifei didn't have many relatives in the capital, so he would visit Chen Jingfei tomorrow.

So we spent the New Year together at Chen Yu's house.

After having a reunion dinner, Chen Yu said goodbye to Liu Yifei and headed towards Jinshi.

There will be a roadshow at Jinshi Heping Cinema tomorrow at noon, so Chen Yu has to go there early. This is still the time he squeezed out to spend the New Year with his family.

It will be 2-3 in the morning when we arrive in Jinshi.

The reason why he didn't go early in the morning was because he was afraid of something happening. If something happened on the road tomorrow morning and Chen Yu couldn't get to the cinema on time, the audience would definitely not buy it.

The people of Jinshi pay special attention to this.

Not long ago, Guo Deyun Club held a special performance in Jinshi, but a group of people missed it.

At the beginning of the show, Deyun Queen Yu Qian was still smoking and getting her hair permed on the road.

There was no other way, Lao Guo looked for a group of people, and could only let the 22-year-old Gao Feng take over. In the middle of winter, he blindly supported the dream of the Western Expedition, and it turned out to be a good story.

Having learned from past experience, Chen Yu would rather go earlier than be late and miss the chance.

It’s better to suffer yourself than to make the audience suffer.

Only when entertainers do this can they be remembered by the audience.

Fortunately, Chen Yu was not driving himself. He sat in the back seat and read the message sent by Yu Dong.

Yesterday, the single-day box office of "Extraction" on New Year's Eve was released.

4289 million!
It broke the first-day box office record and the highest single-day box office record in the history of Chinese films. No matter whether it is a domestic film or an imported film like "Titanic", "Exodus" now has the highest single-day and first-day box office.

The pre-sale on the first day of the Lunar New Year has already exceeded 2000 million!
If nothing unexpected happens today, it should exceed yesterday's, so Yu Dong is already looking forward to breaking the single-day box office record of 5000 million.

Chen Yu was actually looking forward to it too.

Because of the impact of the Spring Festival Gala yesterday, the box office must have suffered some loss.

But the first day of the Lunar New Year is basically a holiday across the country. Some people go to visit relatives, some go shopping in malls, and it is also normal to watch a movie to relax, especially in first- and second-tier cities.

"If we can get 5000 million, it's not impossible to break million in the first weekend!"

Yesterday was Saturday and today is Sunday.

The box office record for the first weekend may not be easy to break because it only lasts for two days; unlike "House of Flying Daggers", "Kung Fu Hustle" and "A World Without Thieves", which were all released on Thursdays.

So these three movies all earned over 100 million yuan in their first weekend.

The current first weekend box office record is 1.08 million for "House of Flying Daggers"!
It is quite difficult for "The Lone Hero" to break this record in 2 days.

It would take 6500 million box office today to achieve this.

"It all depends on how much we can get during the day..."

Chen Yu lay on the back seat of the car with his eyes closed. Even he didn't know how much his movie would eventually earn in mainland China.

The booming market was beyond his expectations.

Yesterday he thought 4000 million should be the limit, but it was more than 200 million more than he expected.

With 2000 million in pre-sales today, it goes without saying that this is the movie that will break the million mark the fastest.

The key is that there are still 8 days of vacation left!

"The Spring Festival period is really horrible!"

No wonder so many movies in later generations would compete for this schedule. Even though it is only 06, the domestic film market is still immature and cinemas are not yet saturated, but the public's consumption awareness is still very strong.

Watching a movie for 25 yuan is now affordable for high school students.

"If we use the 98 ​​million box office of Titanic in 3.6 as an example, the current audience in China is still quite large!"

At that time, the box office of the two films combined was only 30 yuan.

"Eight years have passed, and the popularity and reputation of "Exodus" is obviously more famous than "Titanic"!"

"This time, breaking the 3.6 ​​million record shouldn't be a problem!"

If things go better, we should be able to reach 4 million.

Comparing the number of screens in 98, the number has more than doubled in 06. If the popularity of Titanic were put into today's world, it could actually hit 7 million; so Chen Yu's 4 million is actually a conservative estimate.

After arriving in Jinshi, Chen Yu went straight to bed after taking a shower.

The next day he was awakened by the alarm he set at 10:.

I slept for about 7 hours, which was enough.

While brushing his teeth and turning on his phone, Yu Dong's missed call popped up. When he opened the unread message, Chen Yu saw the text message he had just sent saying that the pre-sales had exceeded 3500 million today.

In just one morning, the number increased by more than 1000 million!

It’s so explosive!
The box office of "Extraction" on the second day once again surprised Chen Yu.

Today the box office broke 5000 million, so he felt that it was not a big problem.

After washing up, I rushed to the Heping Cinema. The entire third floor of the cinema was full of people, and security guards were maintaining order.

It has to be said here that the facilities in Tsu City are outdated.

Peace Cinema, founded in December 1927, is a very old cinema chain in Tianjin and even in the whole country. It is currently operated by the Yinguang Cinema Chain.

Before liberation, famous movie stars such as Shangguan Yunzhu, Han Fei, and Zhou Chu performed the drama "Suicide for Love" here, and every show was sold out, creating an unprecedented grand occasion.

After renovation in the new millennium, it became the first dual-format digital stereo cinema in Tianjin, and became one of the top cinemas in the country.

Chen Yu looked at the cinema in front of him, which looked very old, and shook his head slightly.

At present, the entertainment facilities in Jinshi are still far from comparable to those in Didu.

The Wanda in the capital is a newly built cinema chain, and its facilities are completely up to date with the world's standards; unlike the Heping in front of us, which, even after renovation, still follows the style of a very old-fashioned Chinese cinema.

It is probably because of the influence of Chen Yu and the movie that so many viewers came to buy tickets to watch the movie spontaneously.

And this is already one of the best cinemas in Jinshi.

Moreover, there are no supporting facilities around, let alone shopping malls, even the shops along the street are closed.

After the hasty roadshow ended, Chen Yu had to rush to the next show in Jinshi. In the evening he had to rush to Jinling, and the next three days would be in Jiangnan and Shanghai... Chen Yu basically spent the entire Spring Festival running around and soliciting box office sales.

And "Escape Plan" truly created a myth in the history of Chinese film.

The first day, New Year’s Eve, 4289 million!
The next day, the first day of the new year, the box office reached 6750 million, and the total box office for the two-day weekend reached 1.1 million, breaking the first weekend box office record of 2 million in China set by "House of Flying Daggers" two years ago!

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the box office reversed the decline and reached a single-day high of 7120 million!
The third day of the Chinese New Year, 6991 million!
……

2天破亿，4天2.5亿，5天3亿！
In the history of Chinese cinema, there has never been a movie with such a huge box office success.

The major media outlets were also promoting the event extensively. Chen Yu didn't spend a penny on this. The main reason was that the box office of "Extraction" was so huge that the media had to report on the event.

NetEase, Sina, newspapers, news and TV, all media are competing for publicity.

[“Exodus”: Record Harvester! ]

[Since its premiere on January 2006, 1, "Extraction" has broken seven box office records in China, including the midnight show record, first day box office record, single-day box office record, and first weekend box office record...]

[The Spring Festival has become the holiday with the largest number of moviegoers in China! ]

[The underestimated potential of the Spring Festival, "Taken" drives the overall consumption during the Spring Festival! ]

【Chen Yu proved himself once again! 】

[This Spring Festival belongs to Chen Yu and "The Force Awakens"! ]

【Our China's own Hollywood market! 】

["Exodus" broke the domestic box office record of 98 million set by "Titanic" in 3.6, and topped the total box office in film history! ]

It took only 6 days for "Extraction" to break this record!
……

Pieces of news scroll by every day, refreshing everyone's vision.

Even people who were not originally interested in the movie went to the cinema to watch it; a very unique movie-watching craze formed on the third day of the Lunar New Year, with many children bringing their parents, and parents bringing their children, to the nearby cinemas together.

"4 million!!!"

In a private room of a restaurant in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, Chen Yu raised his glass and celebrated with Ye Weixing and others.

Everyone looked very tired, but everyone could see the excitement on their faces.

They had just finished a roadshow and found a nearby restaurant to celebrate the box office revenue of over 4 million yuan.

Just now, Yu Dong sent a message to Chen Yu, saying that "Escape Plan" has become the first film in Chinese film history to break the 4 million box office.

And it’s a domestic film.

Ye Weixing also became a god in one battle.

And it took less than a week to raise 4 million yuan. Six days plus today's daytime means there are still six hours left before a week.

"I never thought that I could make a movie with a box office of 4 million in my lifetime!"

Ye Weixing's eyes were red and he choked up when he said this.

For all the main creators present, this week was like a dream. Every day they listened to Chen Yu reporting the box office information as if he was listening to numbers.

More than 7000 million a day. Many movies never reach 7000 million at the box office after they are released!
Last year, there were only four movies in the top ten box office that exceeded 7000 million; and "Extraction" only took one day!
This is completely unimaginable in their cognition.

Even Zhang Yimou, an outsider, couldn't believe that the domestic single-day box office could break through the level of 7000 million.

This time, Chen Yu scheduled the film to be released during the Spring Festival, which really taught a lesson to everyone in the industry.

The film market can actually be played like this?

It has boosted consumption, promoted the upgrading of the domestic entertainment industry, and also boosted the vitality of cinemas.

"cheers!"

“When we reach 5 million, let’s celebrate once more!”

If the current trend continues, it will take less than two days for "Extraction" to break 5 million, and 2 million will be no problem.

If it’s 7 million, it might be a bit difficult!
But 6 million+ has already caused a complete earthquake in the country.

Just like in the previous life, before the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", the highest box office record in China was Stephen Chow's "The Mermaid" in 16, with 33.91 billion!
And only one year later, "Wolf Warrior 2" made 56.94 billion!
The box office record was raised by 23 billion in just one year!

This leap forward is obviously very shocking.

After that, the domestic film industry entered the fast lane. In the past, there were only a few movies with a box office of over 10 billion yuan, but after that, box office of over 10 billion yuan seemed to become the norm.

This is a phenomenal movie that brought about market changes.

People will regard watching movies as a form of entertainment. Only after the first time they go to the cinema will they go a second time.

"Wolf Warrior 2" ignited the market and brought changes to the Chinese film landscape.

Many viewers who had never seen a movie before entered the cinema, expanding the domestic movie-watching group from 3000 million to over 1 million. This is the greatest significance of this movie.

And now, Chen Yu just brought this matter forward one step.

He increased the domestic movie-watching population from 1000 million to 2000-3000 million!
So if nothing unexpected happens, this year's film market will be much more popular than in 06, and 1 million+ should be the norm.

Market changes and the increase in the number of screens will develop faster than in previous lives.

More people will go to theaters to watch movies. Even if piracy is rampant, the movie-watching experience in theaters will definitely be different!

Therefore, the follow-up of Chen Yu's Spring Festival this time is far more than just "Extraction" making 6 million or 7 million yuan at the box office.

And it’s a very far-reaching and transformative one!
