Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 655 First Day Box Office
"It's been six years since Harry Potter was made, and even longer since The Lord of the Rings was made. With a span of more than ten years, the gap in special effects is not a difference in quality, but a generational gap."

"Then there's no one else to compare to. You can't compare it to the special effects in the MCU."

"Why can't we compare? Arkham Knight doesn't have any fantasy elements yet, but the MCU has a lot of fantasy elements. Isn't the special effects of Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch one of the biggest selling points of the movie?"

"So can Frostmourne be compared to MCU in terms of special effects?"

"I can't come."

Zhou Mo looked at the funny comments from netizens and couldn't help laughing out loud.

What a stupid netizen, it's really funny.

Judging from the comments, the special effects level of "Frostmourne" is really not as good as that of Doctor Strange and Ancient One in the MCU.

But this is not because the special effects level of Shanhe Company is low, but because as of the first part, the plot has not developed to the point where particularly high special effects are required.

In addition to the Holy Light, Arthas is essentially a warrior.

When encountering a battle, just rush forward with a hammer and hit people.

Jaina was a noble mage, but it was obvious that her abilities were not as great as they were later, when she could fly, hide, and do anything.

These two are still in their developmental stage and have a long way to go.

It is true that the special effects level of each "World of Warcraft" trilogy is higher than the previous one.

In the first part, Arthas had to fight against the mobs. But in the later part of Wrath of the Lich King, when he and Ner'zhul became one, he could create a massive amount of undead scourge with a wave of his hand. Only in that situation can the level of special effects be developed to the extreme.

However, Zhou Mo would not explain it specifically at the moment.

If netizens are willing to fight, let them fight.

Fighting more can also increase the popularity of the movie.

"By the way, Henry, Amber, you two may need to prepare more for tomorrow's roadshow, such as signing autographs for fans. The clothing company will arrange it for you tonight." Zhou Mo instructed.

What gift would fans like more than letting the protagonist in the movie wear armor to meet the fans?

Zhou Mo is such a person who pampers his audience and fans.

The only one who was wronged might be Henry, who had to wear a heavy suit of armor for a long time at a time.

But Henry himself doesn't care about it. For a game enthusiast, it's just a pleasure to wear his favorite armor, show off in front of a group of like-minded people and enjoy their praise.

Could there be anything better than this?
"Don't worry, Director. I have prepared all this a long time ago." Henry said confidently.

Amber also nodded.

Zhou Mo arranged his things, hung up the phone, and took out a photo from his phone album of Henry and Amber standing together in costumes while filming, and posted it on his social media.

And attach the text:
At xx's roadshow tomorrow, the two protagonists will meet the fans wearing armor and wizard robes. We will also give away three sets of costumes each through a lottery to thank everyone for their support of the movie.

Soon after the message was released, there were a lot of comments and cheers.

There are also rich people asking directly below.

"Director Zhou, when will the costumes be released this time? I spent so much money to order the deluxe version of Arkham Knight last time, but I didn't receive it until a month after the movie was released. It's too slow."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

The Arkham Knight Deluxe Edition refers specifically to the most expensive set of costumes, with an original price of nearly $30.

"I really met an enthusiast," Zhou Mo thought.

Customer is God.

Zhou Mo immediately replied, "The reason why the Arkham Knight Deluxe was slow last time was because it had a lot of electronic components that needed to be debugged. This time, the Arthas armor doesn't need electronic components, so it will be much faster and cheaper. The most expensive one will only cost tens of thousands of dollars."

Who knew that after seeing it, Fu Ge immediately replied:
"How can that be possible? A few tens of thousands of dollars is not enough for the collection. You have to find a way to make it more expensive for me. It would be best if it is not less than 200,000."

Zhou Mo smacked his lips. He seemed to understand why some Hanfu in his previous life, which had no technological elements and was not purely hand-embroidered, could be sold for tens of thousands of dollars per set.

After thinking for a while, he continued to recover: "Then I will change the material for you, make it into a double layer, and also give you some unique battle damage?"

Rich: "Okay, price is not a problem, just do it."...

Time comes the next day.

The first day box office of "World of Warcraft: Frostmourne" is out.

4.1 billion.

It’s on the same level as the first-day box office of “Fast and Furious”.

When Zhou Mo got this data, his head was shocked.

"so tall?"

"Yes, I almost broke the record again."

Currently, the movie with the highest first-day box office in China is still "Fast and Furious".

4.1 million.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

It’s tens of millions more than “The Mermaid”.

And "Frostmourne" is actually on the same level as The Little Mermaid.

"This means that our movie can at least reach the same level of total box office as The Fast and the Furious," the assistant guessed.

"No, it should be higher." Zhou Mo shook his head.

Although the current box office is only the first day, sentimental fans account for the majority of moviegoers.

He still feels that way.

Professionals dare to make decisions!
Absolutely not afraid of being slapped in the face!
When the assistant heard this, he said, "Doesn't that mean we are going to break the box office record for foreign-language films again?"

"almost."

Zhou Mo nodded. He was full of confidence in "Frostmourne".

A big difference from its previous version of "World of Warcraft" is that "Frostmourne" has greatly lowered the threshold for watching movies.

The story of "The Prince of Light's Fall to Darkness" can be read to the end without any obstacles, even for those who have not known about it or have never come into contact with "World of Warcraft".

This means that the new version of "World of Warcraft" is no longer just for sentimental fans, but a large number of passers-by can also participate in this feast.

Zhou Mo went to the crew with the news and shared it with everyone. The reaction of the crew's main creators was almost what Zhou Mo expected, and they immediately started to celebrate.

"Zhou, I can't wait to meet the audience." Henry said loudly.

He knew clearly how much benefit this box office data would bring to him.

China's film market is a piece of fat meat.

Filmmakers around the world are now studying how to enter the Chinese market.

In the past, the most successful people were Family Man Vin Diesel and Batman Ben Affleck.

After today, there will be another one among the most successful people.

And this status is given by the audience.

For this, he was extremely grateful.

Zhou Mo patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, you'll have time to develop a relationship with the audience next."

After everyone quieted down, Zhou Mo said, "Everyone, the next promotion depends on you. I hope you will perform well. The company will hold a banquet for you before you leave."

"it is good!"
