Regarding last year's announcement that Peter Jackson would direct "A Chinese Ghost Story" but being unable to fulfill its promise this year, Ahri Pictures responded this way at the premiere:

"We actively contacted Peter Jackson, but director Peter Jackson was busy working on "The Battle of the Five Armies" at the time. Unfortunately, he could not accept our invitation, but he still participated in the preparation and filming of our film as a producer.

middle."

After Fatty finished filming "The Battle of the Five Armies", he was not short of money, but his hands were getting darker and darker. Ahri paid him a large sum of money to be named a producer. In fact, Peter Jackson was not on Ahri's set for a single day.

Worked.

"Although we failed to invite Peter Jackson to direct, our special effects were actually hired from the special effects team of "The Lord of the Rings" and worked together with more than ten special effects companies in the country. We will resolutely put an end to fifty-cent special effects!"

It is true that more than ten special effects companies in the country have been united, but whether it is 50 cents depends on the audience's response.

Lu Han and Zheng Shuang also actively interacted with fans at the scene. Lu Han even said that if the box office exceeded 1 billion, he would choose a fan to have dinner with him on Weibo.

Zheng Shuang also made a bet, saying that if the box office exceeded 1 billion, she would choose an audience member to visit her home and cook for him.

The fans at the scene went crazy!

On that day, the pre-sale box office in Beijing alone climbed another 2 million!

The appeal of top leaders is still visible, no wonder they love to use these people.

Ms. Zhang Wei, president of Alibaba Pictures, stirred up trouble at the scene. Internet practitioners are not afraid of offending people, but are afraid of not paying attention: "Although the story of "Thieves 2" continues from the first one, everything from the director to the actors has been changed. I

I am very worried about its specific performance, but "Nine-Story Demon Tower". Lu Chuan is a very mature director, and the cast should not be underestimated. He should be the biggest opponent of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Our goal for the movie is

1000000000!"

She also knew that if she said she wanted to break the record of "Monster Hunt", others would say that this bitch is crazy.

If you sign up for 1 billion first, there will be enough space.

There is a big difference between movies and other consumer products.

For other consumer goods, if you buy them and use them for a period of time and feel dissatisfied, you can return them.

But movie tickets are different. You can refund the ticket before the movie starts. But if you say the movie is not good after watching the movie and want to refund the ticket, will the theater take care of you?

From this aspect, we can get a little clue of the so-called traffic data.

Why are fans willing to produce data for live streaming or photo albums (picture albums, physical albums), but it is difficult to produce box office data?

Because the former can be returned, and merchants generally do not disclose the return rate to the public, and when calculating sales, the amount of returns is not subtracted for the sake of the data to look better, so fans or the M behind it are happy to make this kind of data.

But the box office is non-refundable.

Under normal circumstances, the box office results announced by theaters are the actual money you spent to buy tickets and watch the movie. All of this money goes into the pockets of theaters and producers.

Even if you buy a ticket and don't go to see it, the theater will not refund your money.

This is a very simple truth, but many Internet companies in the film and television industry do not understand. They value your number of fans, the number of retweets and comments on your Weibo, and think this is an important indicator of your popularity.

If you have fans and popularity, people will pay for the things you shoot.

Therefore, "A Chinese Ghost Story"'s first-day sales of 87 million on Wednesday shocked the industry!

Do these people really have such great box office appeal?

The editor of Alibaba Pictures' Weibo stayed up all night and surfed to the limit all night long, constantly forwarding netizens' positive comments about this film.

The male and female protagonists Lu and Zheng's staff also followed closely.

"Xiaolu performed a different Ning Caichen. It was refreshing."

"A rational fan. I have always been looking forward to Xiaolu's first work after returning to China. The special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are very brilliant, and the art scenery is also in place. The director may have considered the audience's acceptance and did not make too many magic changes.

, I walked through the whole process very smoothly. It’s a great movie and worth buying a ticket for.”

The same situation is almost the same with Shuang Meizi.

At 10 a.m. the next day, Ali Pictures released a poster to celebrate the film’s 100-million-dollar success.

Taopiaopiao gave it a score of 8.0, and Maoyan gave it a score of 8.2, both of which gave movie-watching recommendations.

Douban has not opened a rating yet, but the comments below are not very good.

Of course, people in the traffic category don’t watch Douban.

With the good news of breaking 100 million, people in the industry sent blessings one after another.

On the second day after the movie was released, it grossed 56 million.

Managers of major theater chains have adjusted their expectations, believing that the film's first weekend ticket sales should reach more than 300 million. According to this trend, the total box office is indeed likely to hit 1 billion.

This is still counting the impact of "Rogue 2" released on the 25th.

Looking at it this way, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has indeed made a good start for the National Day season.

The first level has been passed.

Next, he will face the impact of "Thieves 2".

At midnight on the 25th, "Rogue 2" will open nationwide on time.

It has been 3 years since the first "Thieves" was released.

The promotional slogan of "Thieves Alliance 2" is: "Three-year agreement, let's start again!" "New lineup, reload and attack!"

The selling point of "Thieves 2" is not only the more exciting action design, but also the application of various high-tech means.

During the treasure hunting process, the protagonist group will show the audience a variety of high-tech treasure hunting tools.

Cheng Yu'an got the zero-point box office score of "Rogue 2" early the next morning - 12.82 million, surpassing the zero-point box office record of 7.62 million for Chinese movies set by "One Step Away".

Stable!

Cheng Yuan felt at ease.

Cheng Yuan was eating breakfast and watching the morning news.

Liu Yifei is still sleeping.

The little one made a lot of noise at night, so Liu Yifei simply slept with her daughter in the nursery.

But after having breakfast, Cheng Yuan saw Liu Yifei freshening up and coming down.

"Why don't you sleep more?"

"I can't stay in bed anymore. I want to get rid of this problem. I sleep until 10 o'clock every day, and I'm afraid of falling asleep." Liu Yifei sat down opposite Cheng Yu'an, poured a glass of warm water, and started eating breakfast.

"How are the results?"

"The zero point market is close to 13 million, so it should be no problem."

"I heard that "A Chinese Ghost Story" was quite popular the first two days."

"It's useless. They have public relations with several media and ticketing websites, but the word-of-mouth can't be controlled. In two days, 50,000 people have marked it on Douban.com, and their backend shows that most people's ratings are below 3 stars.

Douban will be divided today, and its influence will further spread."

"Is it really that bad?"

"Don't ask me, I haven't seen it either." Cheng Yu'an laughed, "But Lu Han is not an acting material. It's good to be an idol."

Director Chen Zhengdao is very good. Under his direction, the camera and setting of "A Chinese Ghost Story" should not be a problem. It just depends on whether the two actors can perform well.

"Where are you going today?" Cheng Yu'an asked his wife before going out.

"I'm taking Qiqi to the gym today. It's not good to stay at home all the time."
Chapter completed!
