Chapter 318 The Continuous Fragmentation of Records

Lots of movie reviews are starting to appear now.

Among these movie reviews, most of them still praised "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". The value of commercial films, from this point of view, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is quite outstanding.

Therefore, "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" is now more and more expected as an upcoming movie.

The release day on the second day of the Lunar New Year is a relatively new time for most people. At least there are some in the previous movies, but there are very few such large volumes and high expectations. A movie that feels like a New Year's movie will be released on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The second day of the new year, this is indeed a rather strange time.

In everyone's anticipation, the official release of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has begun.

The day of the second day of the new year.

In recent years, as the pace of life in Chinese society has become faster and faster, the whole country has been running like a gear. With the destruction of the old society and the establishment of a new society, the Chinese New Year is no longer the same in a heavily westernized society. So joyous.

Of course, this is also due to the changes of the times. If it is pushed forward a little bit, even if it is pushed to the 80s and [-]s, the Chinese New Year is still the best thing in people's hearts, because at this time the family will eat something good, but in the past two years, No matter what life is like, at least you don't have to worry about food or clothing.

At this time, the Chinese New Year has become a holiday for some people who don’t know what to do other than socializing. Many people also want to rediscover the taste of the Chinese New Year. It’s a pity that the problem of the Chinese New Year is to be managed by everyone. Yes, so many people still feel that there is not much to do.

At this time, many of them realized that it was a wonderful decision for Chen Xi to release "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" on the second day of the Lunar New Year!

Because in previous years, there were very few movies that really attracted much attention. First of all, after all, this is also a traditional festival, and there are not so many movie theaters open. Secondly, in these movie theaters, many movies dare not take risks.

Of course, there may be one or two good movies in this schedule, but there are only a few, and most of them are not well-known, and few people are willing to watch them.

But this year they saw "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons", so many people began to flock into the cinema.

Watching movies is also such a means, and Xingye's movies can more or less be made into something for family fun...

So, starting from the morning, a lot of audiences have poured into the major movie theaters. Before, many people thought that the movie would be released on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and there might be no people at that time, but it turned out that what they saw now It's crazy audiences. Tickets in some movie theaters have basically been sold out since early in the morning.

At noon, the number of people walking into the movie theaters became more and more, especially in some movie theaters of Deep Space Movies and Television, they were overcrowded.

In fact, there are not a few movie theaters that have a holiday like this, but the movie theaters under the Deep Space Cinema Line cannot have holidays, after all, they are playing the films of Deep Space Film and Television.

At night, the crowd became even more turbulent. Although it was a big Chinese New Year celebration, the movie theater became a pastime that many people hadn't done before. All of a sudden, there were people everywhere.

In fact, Chen Xi is not completely confident about using "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" to start the Spring Festival.

He was also worried that this decision would reduce the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"... But no matter what, Chen Xi had already boasted a billion dollars before, and in this regard, Chen Xi was also worried that he would fail.

After a long wait, the box office figures for the first day of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" finally officially appeared after eleven o'clock in the evening.

This movie of Chen Xi and Master Xing's combination has made everyone have very strong feelings, and many people have paid attention to this movie through various channels.

Then they saw the first-day box office figures of 8200 million!

In an instant, countless records in China were broken, and this first-day box office figure made "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" begin to stand on a peak.

For a moment, many people's eyes were stared out: Oh my god, is the Spring Festival really coming?
In fact, there will still be more and more schedules for Chinese movies. The Spring Festival schedule is completely new in this year, but in 2016, this is a terrifying existence that can blow four to five billion yuan a day.

This first-day box office figure also made Chen Xi feel a big stone. It seems that the troika of "People on the Journey to Thailand", "Journey to the West" and "Gravity" previously conceived by Deep Space Film and Television has two The movie has been successful.

Because of the upcoming "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Chen Xi is very confident. Since the film's premiere performance is already so terrible, and after the film's word-of-mouth has fermented, the film's box office will show a form of long-term growth.In fact, "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" is obviously more competitive than the pure Xingye version. First of all, this movie has the existence of Chen Xi, and secondly, Chen Xi added 1000 million yuan to it. The investment was made to add 3D effects to the movie, which audiences apparently liked.

"This is how 3D movies should be!"

"This is the real 3D effect, and many others are too deceptive!"

... All kinds of voices were clamoring in the dust. Chen Xi felt a little funny when she saw the comments of this group of people. These guys didn't know that, in fact, she didn't really write "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" How well done, but it's just a little bit better in some places that can stimulate the audience.

But no matter what, Chen Xi's strategy was quite successful. Up to now, the word-of-mouth and box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" have begun to skyrocket.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" still earned 8100 million box office in a single day.

According to Chen Xi's previous experience, "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" is a clear proof of this. If a movie is selected to be released during the Spring Festival, basically from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the tenth day of the Lunar New Year and even to the Lantern Festival, the movie The box office will skyrocket.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is facing almost a smooth road. After all, this movie is the first to eat crabs. During the entire Spring Festival, no movie will participate in the competition for this schedule. Therefore, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" Chapter" is facing a smooth road.

Now many people have seen the terrifying capacity of the Spring Festival file, which is beyond their imagination, but it is obviously impossible for them to temporarily change the schedule now, and they have to forcefully join the big schedule of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" It is estimated that there will be nothing to eat.

Based on these thoughts, at this moment, this group of people can only watch Chen Xi swallow their saliva.

In fact, the dominance of one family in the schedule is still very helpful to earn box office. This is like the summer of 2015. During this schedule, "Monster Hunt", "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", "Pancake Man" "The three giants basically monopolized the entire summer vacation... Of course, this year's summer vacation is extremely long, because there are fucking domestic films protected, and this year's domestic films are protected for a long, long time.

In fact, domestic films do need time to be protected, but protection like this is really outrageous.

Everyone is well aware of the domestic film protection month. Although there are no explicit regulations on this thing in any system regulations, many unspoken rules are like this. Although they cannot be seen, it does not mean that they do not exist.

The same is true now. "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is catching up with an open and unobstructed schedule.

The bad movies like "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" of later generations, because one family dominates in such a schedule, also got quite terrible box office, and finally broke through one billion!
The current "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" itself is a pretty good movie, even if it was released in 2012, but the point is that many things in this movie are still there, so the future of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is obviously very clear.

Sure enough, the fourth day, fifth day, and sixth day of the new year...

Time is passing day by day, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has never earned less than 6500 million at the box office in the past few days.

By the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" had reached 7.95 million yuan, and the box office exceeded [-] million in ten days, which is close to [-] million. This figure is also quite scary...

In the following time, the box office of the movie continued to grow.

On the 10.34th day of the first lunar month, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" reached [-] billion, becoming the second Chinese-language film in Chinese history with a box office exceeding [-] billion yuan, and also the third film in mainland China's history with a box office breakthrough of [-] billion yuan. .

What's more, what's rare is that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has a pretty good reputation so far. The score on Douban can be maintained at around 7.7 points, and the score on Mtime.com is almost 7.6 points. The scores on the two major websites exceed 7.5. This basically guarantees the continuity of a movie.

The Chinese market has not been in a chaotic state for a long time. If a movie wants to get a good box office, it needs to make achievements in word of mouth.

In the Chinese film market, good word of mouth and a good movie may not be able to turn a salted fish over, but if the word of mouth is too bad, there will never be a reversal...

There are already many movies in the Chinese market that have achieved a big curve reversal due to word-of-mouth, including "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" and the subsequent "Charlotte Annoyance". But because the reputation of the movie is really not good, the box office also dropped sharply. In the end, the box office is far worse than those movies that started far less powerful than them. ...

Therefore, the reputation of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is enough to continue its fairly good box office trend, at least it will not drop too far.

After the Lantern Festival, many movies joined the fray, including Hollywood blockbusters. The space of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was also crushed, but everyone saw a new scene at this time.

At this time, although many other films began to join the battle group, the space of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was continuously compressed and resolved, and the daily film schedule gradually dropped from more than 40% to the current 15-20%. Under the circumstances, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is still maintained at a level of 2000 million to 5000 million per day...

This is really surprising, but it also made many people understand one thing: It seems that several strong films on the market can coexist, and these strong films can also promote each other's box office. In fact, this happened after 2014. To the fullest.

Including "Wolf Totem", "Heroes of Heaven", "Macao 2015" and other box office blockbuster movies in the 2 Spring Festival file, as well as "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" and "Monster Hunting" in the summer file of 2015. The three major movies of "Record" and "Pancake Man" maintain a daily box office market of more than 2 million yuan...

In fact, this is the current situation in the Chinese market: as long as you can’t think of it, you can’t do it. Sometimes the growth of the box office makes people feel like reading a YY novel, everything is amazing.

With such box office growth, the box office figure of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has exceeded 13 billion. Many people are now waiting, waiting for the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" to directly break through the shackles of "Avatar" and reach A new realm.

Now many people's eyes are fixed on the box office figures of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and the daily box office is watched by countless fans.

Because they may witness the birth of a new history.

In fact, if other bad movies break through the blockade of "Avatar", many people may think it's not worth it, but "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" so far is pretty good, so many movie fans don't think it's worth it. Want to say more, they feel that the quality of this movie is worthy of the box office.

At the time of "Lost in Thailand", the film's final box office was already very close to that of "Avatar", but Chen Xi, who was high-spirited at the time, did not extend the release period of the film too much, and even "Lost in Thailand" The final box office was still a little bit worse.

And now "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is quite close to this box office figure, and it is very likely that it will complete another surpass!Bring the glory of "Source Code" back into the hands of Chinese movies.

Chen Xi himself felt a little weird about the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons": The film was released a year earlier, and the overall box office capacity is obviously arable, but why did "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" have a higher box office?

It should be because of himself that this movie has become a bit more attractive to people watching. In addition, the 3D effect he created has enhanced the word-of-mouth power of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which may have brought about these current results.
