January 3rd.

In the afternoon, Fang Ziheng joined the propaganda team with great energy.

Judging from the few cinemas in the imperial capital alone, the popularity of "Edge of Tomorrow" is full of popularity, with crowds in ticket windows and waiting halls, which is very lively.

A cinema manager reported to Fang Ziheng that "Edge of Tomorrow" had nearly 70% of the screening volume, 3D attendance rate was 100%, and every scene was full.

The attendance rate of 2D old-fashioned halls is as high as 95%. After watching 2D movies, many viewers actually queue up to buy 3D movies and start watching for the second time.

Such a hot scene has already gained the popularity of "Avatar" in the first place.

If it can last for a week, then...

This is the original words of the cinema manager. Fang Ziheng thanked him, he did not talk too much, nor did he brag.

It’s not that I don’t want to brag, but because the reporter hasn’t arrived yet.

However, Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, Deng Chao and other creative teams were all excited after hearing the manager's words, full of energy, and pushed their arms and shouted hard.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Imperial Capital Star Cinema.

The media chasing hot spots finally blocked the creative team of "Edge of Tomorrow".

On the steps outside the cinema, more than a dozen reporters surrounded Fang Ziheng and others.

Tencent News reporters were the first to get the right to ask questions. He held the microphone in one hand and pointed at the crowd at the cinema gate with the other hand, and asked loudly: "Director Fang, "The Edge of Tomorrow" was released on the first day. I would like to ask what the box office you expected on the first day?"

"More than 40 million!"

Fang Ziheng reported a slightly outrageous number. His three previous movies had a low box office on the first day and failed to break through the 30 million level.

The current first-day box office record holder of domestic movies is Feng Kuzi's "The Great Earthquake" in the summer season, with a box office of 35.5 million.

This time, "Edge of Tomorrow" is released, whether it is the atmosphere of New Year's Day and Spring Festival, or the theater screens across the country, they are all better than the summer season in July.

It can be said that the release schedule of "Edge of Tomorrow" was the best schedule of 2011, no doubt about it.

It not only caught up with the last peak of the New Year holiday, but also occupied the first-mover advantage of the Spring Festival holiday.

The first-day box office of 40 million is the goal set by Fang Ziheng for himself!

The reporters' eyes flashed, and they heard his ambition and confidence, and they thought that this trip to chase and interview today was worth it.

This question alone is enough to sensation in the entertainment and film industry.

However, the reporters chasing and interviewing today are all veterans, with high eyelids and are very familiar with the box office trends of movies.

Although Fang Ziheng's words are somewhat bragging, they are understandable. After all, the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" has reached 6.9 million at the 0-minute box office.

Relying on this data, it is not impossible for the first day's box office to exceed 40 million.

Thinking of this, the reporters quietly looked at Liu Qianqian, Liu Ye, Deng Chao, Hu Jun and others next to them.

Their batch of calmness obviously agrees with the numbers reported by Fang Ziheng!

"Edge of Tomorrow" has 3D bonuses, which alone can increase the first-day box office by millions.

Forty million, not much!

After the first question was asked, Tencent Entertainment reporter pulled back from the Sina Weibo reporter and moved away from the position of the main C question.

A reporter from Sina Weibo took a step forward, looked at Fang Ziheng with a smile, and asked with a full sense of pride: "Director Fang, based on your judgment of the market, do you have any predictions about the total box office of "Edge of Tomorrow"?"

As soon as this question arose, the reporters' eyes lit up and they instantly held their breath.

Good question!

Judging from Fang Ziheng's attitude today, I guess he is going to take a break and add some firewood to the New Year holiday that lasted for more than a month.

"1 billion!"

A clear sound rang out, like a heavy hammer hitting the reporters' hearts.

Before they can react.

Fang Ziheng raised his arm, raised a finger, raised a confident and indifferent smile and said: "The Four Famous Captains have successfully exceeded 800 million. I only have one goal for the total box office of "Edge of Tomorrow", that is, to break through one billion and become the first domestic film of one billion level!"

Three "billions" were shouted out in a row, not to mention reporters, even Liu Ye and others who were still stable just now were shocked.

I have to send it!

Billion!

Did we hear it wrong, or did you go crazy?

Deng Chao and Hu Jun were stunned at first, and then frantically winked Fang Ziheng, asking him to keep it a little, and not to pierce the cowhide.

Liu Qianqian breathed lightly, her eyes blinked, her bright eyes were filled with brilliance, and countless small stars emerged.

The lover's eyes showed Xi Shi, but the young lady didn't think Fang Ziheng was bragging.

In her opinion, this is a strong confidence, a rising hope and expectation for the movie she directed.

boom..

After a brief stagnation and silence, the interview site was completely boiling.

The reporters were excited.

One billion!

"Four Famous Captains" was so popular at the time and had such a strong reputation, and it only barely exceeded 800 million in the mainland market.

Whether it is Feng Pants, Jiang Wen, or even Lao Touzi, Chen Daren, Xu Laoqiu and others, the slogans they shouted were only 800 million, and they regarded "The Four Famous Captains" as their target of catching up.

Today, this youngest Chinese business director actually broke the rules and shouted a slogan of one billion.

amazing!

The reporters were extremely excited and shouted in their hearts!

They are not industry insiders in the film industry, nor are they star artists who speak scruples in the entertainment industry.

They are media and entertainment media, and their favorite is news popularity and information explosion points.

No matter whether Fang Ziheng brags or not, they are very satisfied with the attitude of not rejecting anyone and starting a firecracker.

Love it, love it.

The reporters smiled and handed over with microphones, rushing to ask questions.

At this moment, they didn't care about being steady. Taking advantage of Fang Ziheng's mood today, they quickly asked a few more exciting questions.

Fang Ziheng did not disappoint them, and swears to slogans to compete for the New Year’s Championship and break the box office record of "Avatar".

Billion!

One billion is a shame, I want to regain the box office championship in mainland film history!

After Yitong was awesome, Fang Zi was always satisfied and went to the next publicity point with a nervous creative team.

A group of media reporters who were suddenly blushing and flushed were left behind.

Wait until Fang Ziheng and his friends walk away.

A reporter came to his senses, touched his chin, and looked at his colleagues with confusion: "What did Fang Ziheng say just now?"

"Break the total box office record of "Avatar"!"

.........

evening.

Fang Ziheng ended the publicity at the evening news at 6 o'clock and returned to the duplex with Liu Qianqian.

Concubine Lin, Andy, Zeng Li, and Song Yi came and agreed to come to his house to wait for the first day of the box office together.

Scream...

The sound of frying fish came from the kitchen. Lin Feifei, Andy, Zengli, and the three of them cooked, and the remaining three were hungry on the sofa in the living room.

Fang Ziyi lay on the side sofa, holding the remote control and pressing it constantly.

On ultra-wide screen LCD TVs, 25 satellite TV stations are broadcasting evening news from their respective provinces and cities in a unified manner.

Imperial Capital TV.

The first ten minutes of the major event was introduced, and the camera turned to the live news room.

A young and dignified young lady appears gracefully in the picture.

"Early this morning, the science fiction war blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow" directed by the famous director Fang Ziheng opened its premiere around the world.

The film was filmed with full support from the military. The film tells the story of aliens invading the earth, countries around the world were unable to resist, and all six continents were destroyed except Asia and became ruins.

The Chinese soldiers are invincible and ready to die. With the help of the hero's infinite reset ability, they defeat aliens again and again, and eventually eliminate aliens who invaded the earth."

With the introduction of the host's sister, movie scenes appeared on the TV.

Countless buildings on six continents were bombed, and they fell south of Changjiang. A million troops of China crossed the Yangtze River and the East China Sea for the first time, launching fire-covering and life-defeating charges against aliens.

Fang Ziheng sat upright and looked at the TV with a smile on his face.

With the assists from 25 satellite TV stations, no matter how much box office there is on the first day of today, tomorrow will be the beginning of the complete popularity of "Edge of Tomorrow".
