Christmas Eve is not a weekend holiday, it is still a working day, which makes it difficult to compare the box office on that day with that on the weekend.
Especially during the day when most people are going to school or work.
Even so, the daytime attendance of "Love Letter" was still very impressive.
Many viewers who were attracted by the movie's reputation were among the first to enter the theater that day. Most of them were college students without courses.
When the movie was screened in the early stages, there were already many viewers who wanted to watch it first.
However, the number of screenings is directly tied to the road show, so it is indeed difficult to get tickets. You can only enter the theater on the day of the official release.
The domestic film scheduling rate on that day also reached close to 40%. Compared with the films released that day, this is already a very large number of films.
And whether it is the number of theaters or the time of the show, it can all be described as a golden show.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the show time during the day, and the movie schedule in the evening is also scheduled at a time suitable for everyone to go to the theater after get off work.
While waiting for the flight to Sakura, Jiang Yuan also analyzed the day's box office performance with Zhang Qing and others.
Immediately after "Love Letter", the second film in the schedule is a foreign fantasy song and dance movie called "Starry Sky Magic Station". This time, it is the second film in the series.
"This movie has a very good reputation abroad." Zhang Qing glanced at the title and said, "I've watched the first movie before and it was really good. If I have time when I get back, I'll have to watch the second movie.
"
Jiang Yuan heard this and curiously found the movie trailer and watched it together. It can be said that the configuration of a very classic foreign blockbuster, excellent vocals and gorgeous special effects have also been revealed in the trailer.
After watching the trailer, Jiang Yuan simply downloaded the first part of the movie to his tablet, preparing to kill some time during the flight.
"But this kind of movie, I remember that the box office stamina generally doesn't seem to be very high." Shang Yan'er leaned next to Jiang Yuan and expressed her own opinion.
"But after one week, there will be competition for the next new schedule." Zhang Qing thought for a while and said.
Therefore, whether it can beat the second blockbuster movie "Starry Sky" in the first few days of its release can be regarded as the first challenge that the movie will encounter in the box office competition.
"Currently, our data in all aspects are quite stable, but some people have begun to collapse." Jiang Yuan stretched out his finger and clicked on the movie with the third highest film schedule.
The third-ranked movie can be said to be on the same competitive track as "Love Letter", at least in the eyes of the public.
After all, at first glance, both are movies about love.
It's just that the title of the latter movie, according to Jiang Yuan's judgment method, is already a bad movie just by looking at the title.
"I will run with all my strength towards the day when I have you..." Jiang Yuan read the movie title and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
To judge roughly, if the title of the movie is so long, it will most likely look like a bad movie.
"The original TV series was still very popular. It was considered a hit show last year." Zhang Qing obviously knows a lot more about these movies.
"But now the word-of-mouth has been scolded so much." Jiang Yuan directly clicked on the hot movie events analyzed by the box office software, and immediately saw the news that the film's word-of-mouth hit the market.
In fact, before the movie was officially released, Jiang Yuan's impression was that the movie was quite impactful.
Many fans of the drama were dissatisfied that there were too few films scheduled on the first day of release, and some even irrationally posted a message scolding Jiang Yuan and others for taking up so much of the film schedule.
It's just that less than half a day after its release, "Use Your Best..." has already received a backlash from word-of-mouth.
Those who cursed were basically the same fans who had scheduled the movie for the day before.
If TV dramas like this continue to be filmed, most of the motivation for filming should be to cut leeks.
Those with more conscience can still make a movie with a barely acceptable plot. If it is of this level, there may be many drama fans or actor fans who dote on the movie and think that the movie is an after-sales benefit for the TV series.
Generally speaking, fans of dramas that are very tolerant start to criticize directly, which means that this movie must have gone too far.
Jiang Yuan casually clicked on a repo post after watching the movie, and looked through the comments below with Zhang Qing, basically understanding the general situation.
[Who knows? I asked why I didn’t show it before. I thought it might be bad, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad.]
[I was shocked when I walked into the cinema early in the morning. It was difficult to recover after waiting for so long. 】
[I might as well just call it a mixed-cut version of the TV series. To be honest, it’s just to cut leeks.]
[For fans of actors, please don’t brag about the super after-sales service. Other dramas are directly placed as extras, but they made a movie out of nowhere.]
[I felt like a clown when I tore up the film for you yesterday, and I was truly heartbroken...]
[I want to go to the cinema to see how bad it is...]
——
After reading it, Zhang Qing's expression was a little surprised, and she really didn't expect that her opponent would be so bad.
"This is good news for us. The reputation of similar films has collapsed, and people will be more likely to choose us when watching movies." Jiang Yuan nodded.
"And by the weekend in two days, their film schedule should be even lower, and maybe it can be evened out." Shang Yan'er thought for a while and also said.
"Yes." Zhang Qing also agreed, "But there should still be some box office sales in the first two days. After all, the popularity of TV series lies there."
Jiang Yuan nodded when he heard this, and thought it made sense. After all, there were still many viewers who did not believe in evil and wanted to go to the theater to see how bad the movie was in person.
"But the remaining two movies may have a counterattack." Zhang Qing pointed at the two movies that were temporarily ranked lower.
There are two other movies, both of which are foreign movies, but the genres are not so suitable for the Christmas atmosphere.
But Jiang Yuan glanced at it and saw that they were all popcorn-type movies, and they would indeed have a certain audience.
"Anyway, this week's results are very important." Jiang Yuan stood up and said as he was about to board the plane.
This sentence was also recognized by Zhang Qing and others and even the entire crew.
Everyone has been working hard on promotions, road shows and other activities for more than half a month, so that "Love Letter" can achieve relatively impressive box office results when it is released.
After a brief analysis, everyone felt that the first week of release was the most suitable time to produce results.
Whether it's filming, competitors, etc., it all seems like the best arrangement.
As long as it can perform well in the first weekend and win the box office champion position, when the New Year's Eve comes next week, it may not be impossible to give it a try.
When he was about to get on the plane, Fu Yunshen was still very excited.
According to Fu Yunshen's own description, the predicted first-day box office of "Love Letter" has successfully exceeded the highest first-day box office of a film directed by him.
These words made Jiang Yuan curiously search the Internet for box office results related to Fu Yunshen before the plane took off.
After reading it, I couldn't help but be silent for a while.
Mainly because he was misled by Fu Yunshen's tone. Jiang Yuan, who heard it earlier, thought Fu Yunshen's previous box office results were so high.
As a result, after searching, I discovered that Fu Yunshen has never been a director known for his box office performance.
If we look at the current box office trend, it may not even take two days for Fu Yunshen to set a new record for his highest box office performance.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan felt that he could continue to cooperate with Fu Yunshen in the future. Whether it was the filming process or the schedule these days, Fu Yunshen's performance has always been quite reliable.
"What are you thinking about?" Shang Yaner asked, sitting next to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan came back to his senses and glanced at Shang Yan'er who was sitting next to him. He didn't hide anything, "I'm thinking about continuing to cooperate with Director Fu in the future."
"Is there going to be a new collaboration?" Shang Yan'er was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
"That's not true, I just thought about the possibilities." Jiang Yuan shook his head, and then took out the tablet and headphones from his small bag.
During the flight, Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er watched the movie "Starry Sky Magic Station" with headphones.
As the first film in a series, it is still very exciting, and it is different from some of the musicals Jiang Yuan has seen in his previous life. It feels very fresh.
Shang Yan'er had actually seen this movie, but she still watched it again with Jiang Yuan.
"If we are free later, let's go watch the second part together." Jiang Yuan extended an invitation to Shang Yan'er after watching the movie's Easter eggs.
"Are you inviting me on a date?" Shang Yan'er blinked after hearing this.
"That's right." Jiang Yuan thought about it for a moment and didn't shy away from it.
"Then you set a time, I have been working these days." A smile appeared on Shang Yan'er's lips.
"But after watching "Starry Sky Magic Station", I did have some new ideas." After the initial agreement, Jiang Yuan started talking about the movie he had just watched.
"What do you think?" Shang Yan'er asked.
"The idea is to find Fu Yunshen to continue cooperation." Jiang Yuan replied.
"Do you have a new script you want to shoot?" Shang Yan'er was stunned.
"That's not true." Jiang Yuan shook his head, and then added, "But maybe there will be in the future. Do you still remember when we recorded "World Songs" in Paris?"
"Of course I remember." Shang Yan'er replied. Although she didn't know what Jiang Yuan meant, she was deeply impressed by every trip to "World Song".
"Then you still remember what song I sang that time?" Jiang Yuan asked with a smile.
"City Of Stars" Shang Yan'er replied without thinking.
"That's right." Jiang Yuan nodded.
Shang Yan'er looked confused, still not understanding the connection between the song mentioned by Jiang Yuan and Fu Yunshen's collaboration.
"I just thought of a story related to this song." Noticing Shang Yan'er's confused gaze, Jiang Yuan explained briefly.
It was indeed after watching a song and dance movie like "Starry Sky Magic Station" that Jiang Yuan also thought that he could really try this type of movie.
What immediately came to mind was the movie "La La Land", which is translated as "La La Land". The song "City of stars" comes from this movie.
After watching the movie just now, Jiang Yuan pondered the possibility of making this movie in his mind.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that there was not completely no room for maneuver.
In his future film and television plans, what Jiang Yuan plans to do is to try as many types of movies as possible and challenge a variety of characters with different personalities.
In this way, Jiang Yuan felt that he had the opportunity to practice his acting skills and obtain a relatively high achievement value in a relatively short period of time.
Just do it, Jiang Yuan also silently put the plan to remake the script of "La La Land" on the agenda.
"So you are going to write a new script?" Shang Yan'er asked after understanding the meaning behind what Jiang Yuan just said.
"Absolutely." Jiang Yuan nodded, paused for a while, and then said, "I will read the script to you as soon as possible."
The reason why I say this is because the memory of the song "City of stars" at that time was that Jiang Yuan spent it with Shang Yan'er.
Thinking of the scene at that time, Jiang Yuan also felt that it would be pretty good if he continued to complete this work with Shang Yaner.
After hearing what Jiang Yuan said, Shang Yan'er was in a good mood, pulled up the blanket on her body, and stuck her head out, "Then I'll sleep for a while, and call me when the time comes."
"Okay." Jiang Yuan agreed with a smile.
The plane continued to fly in the sky, heading towards the cherry blossoms.
After a period of flight, the entire crew finally arrived at Sakura's airport.
When leaving the airport, it was also a lively scene.
Because they knew that Jiang Yuan and others were coming to attend the premiere of Sakura, fans of Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er also specially picked up the entire crew to support them and sent them bouquets prepared in advance.
After everyone expressed their gratitude, they left the airport.
After getting into the business car arranged in advance, Jiang Yuan helped hold the bouquet and let Shang Yan'er take photos for a while.
Later, both of them are going to send a certified photo of the bouquet they received to the social platform.
It may be said that it is fan-favorite marketing, but in essence the two want to provide some emotional value to the fans who send flowers, at least they can feel that there is some emotional feedback.
It was already evening when they arrived at Sakura, and Jiang Yuan and others went straight to the event venue for the Sakura premiere without much rest.
It was said to be a premiere, but in fact it was just a pretext for hosting an event, and it was actually released simultaneously during the day.
On the way to the event venue, Jiang Yuan and others also connected to the Internet and paid attention to the real-time updates of domestic screenings.
As soon as I refreshed the page, I immediately saw posts related to the first day's box office results.
Although the dust has not completely settled yet, with only the last few hours left, the box office for the day can be said to have been released.
