On the first weekend of the movie's release, Jiang Yuan, Shang Yan'er and others completed the Sakura and Peninsula promotional activities together.
In the markets of both countries, "Love Letter", as an imported film, is unique in terms of popularity and reputation.
In addition, Jiang Yuan and others cooperated to promote the movie, which also added a lot of popularity to the movie.
Although it cannot achieve very good results on the local box office charts, the box office data in various aspects are still impressive.
Especially because Jiang Yuan and others promoted the premiere offline, fans showed up to support the show with great intensity, and it made a lot of news.
The premiere of Peninsula was also very lively, and the guest lineup at the scene was much stronger than that at Sakura.
Many idols who have participated in the show came to watch the premiere. Of course, this is partly related to the fact that the number of idols in the peninsula is relatively large, and the drive is relatively convenient.
After two waves of publicity, it also successfully created a sense of familiarity and overwhelming popularity overseas.
After the two events, Jiang Yuan and others also returned to the Magic City and their home turf. At this time, the movie's first weekend box office results have also been released.
In a small business car, Shang Yan'er and Fu Yunshen, as well as their manager Zhang Qing, were all riding in the same car as Jiang Yuan.
"First of all, the top spot at the box office in the first weekend belongs to us!"
Fu Yunshen took his mobile phone and announced the news loudly in the car.
Before it was launched, everyone had certain predictions about this outcome.
After all, the daily box office trends that I learned earlier are basically in the leading position.
But after the dust settled, Jiang Yuan and others also clapped and cheered twice.
"We successfully defeated the second part of "Starry Sky Magic Station" in the domestic market." Fu Yunshen read this paragraph completely from the press release.
Saying the name of such a big IP from his own mouth gave Fu Yunshen a somewhat dreamy feeling.
Before this year, Fu Yunshen never imagined that he could beat such a blockbuster in terms of box office data.
Jiang Yuan didn't have much of an idea at first, but after watching the first part of the movie with Shang Yan'er on the plane, he was more able to sympathize with Fu Yunshen's mood.
I originally wanted to take this opportunity to discuss with Fu Yunshen whether to sign an invitation from his own studio, but after thinking about it I decided to wait until later so as not to interrupt Fu Yunshen's rhythm of announcing the results of the first week.
"The small goal set at the beginning of this year has been achieved." Fu Yunshen couldn't help but sigh, and then continued to announce the box office data of the movie so far.
"So far, it has been released for four days, and the movie's total box office has exceeded 350 million!"
When the final data was announced, Fu Yunshen's voice was already a little distorted with excitement.
Before the movie was released, the entire crew, and even the market, made a rough prediction about the movie's final box office.
Starting from the type of movie, and then considering various factors, after a comprehensive analysis, Jiang Yuan and others' prediction for the movie box office is that the total box office can reach 200 million, which is already a very good result.
Compared with other movies that cost hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, the shooting cost of "Love Letter" is still relatively small.
Most of the funds were spent on the production and promotion of the film. For example, Jiang Yuan himself did not receive much remuneration, but directly chose the box office sharing model.
So if it can win a box office of 200 million, it can actually create considerable profits.
As for the predictions given by some media, they are actually lower than the 200 million set by Jiang Yuan and others.
However, the box office of the first weekend alone has successfully exceeded the original predictions of Jiang Yuan and others, and even nearly doubled the original predicted total box office.
Such achievements can be regarded as a slap in the face of some media.
"But it's not absolute. Many media have already changed their final predictions after the box office was released on the first day." Fu Yunshen paused and said.
"So what is the final box office they predict now?" Shang Yan'er asked curiously.
"I took a look and it was about 500 million." Zhang Qing raised her hand while holding her mobile phone and said.
The box office forecast of 500 million is not low. In fact, there are only a few movies that can achieve such results throughout the year. A lot depends on the box office market.
"According to their predictions, there is still room for improvement." Jiang Yuan touched his chin and said, then looked at Fu Yunshen, "Do you think we can still compete during the New Year's Eve?"
Hearing Jiang Yuan's question, Fu Yunshen also pondered for a while, "It's not easy to judge at the moment. We still have to look at the box office trend in the next week."
"Actually, judging from the subject matter, the current final predicted box office is indeed almost the upper limit."
"But sometimes, the development of a film's performance may not follow the rules." Fu Yunshen said.
In fact, at present, the release of "Love Letter" is no longer restricted by the upper limit of the genre due to the addition of various factors.
"That's true, but we are not prepared to fight a blitzkrieg for just one week." Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
The subject matter of the movie was also considered before, so Jiang Yuan and the entire crew were ready to extend the front line in all aspects of movie activities.
There are many more, such as some movie activities for the next week, which have not yet been officially announced.
"But you should prepare for the New Year's Eve activities in the next week." Fu Yunshen looked back at Jiang Yuan and the two of them and said.
The reason why there was no official announcement of the next round of roadshows immediately after the first round of roadshows ended is also related to Jiang Yuan and his two schedules.
At the end of the year, with New Year's Eve approaching, Jiang Yuan and his wife will naturally have many travel invitations.
For example, the New Year's Eve party is one of them. In recent years, Jiang Yuan has not participated in satellite TV's New Year's Eve activities every year.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sometimes I prepare concerts myself to celebrate the New Year with fans, and I originally planned to hold them as usual this year.
However, considering the promotional schedule for the movie and the fact that the tour had just been concluded, we finally decided to meet the fans in the form of a New Year's Eve party.
"You should be going to Star City this year, right?" Shang Yan'er asked Jiang Yuan curiously from the side.
"Yes, they invited me to come for the finale." Jiang Yuan did not hide the news that was about to be officially announced.
"The day after tomorrow, Feixing City will be preparing for the rehearsal." Zhang Qing heard this and also mentioned the itinerary arrangements.
"It's a pity that I am preparing for New Year's Eve in Shanghai." Shang Yan'er shook her head and said.
Fu Yunshen was sitting in the front row. He didn't care much that Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er were going to attend New Year's Eve activities in separate places. He was all focused on the movie.
He did not forget to explain the promotion matters, "Will there be a talk session when you perform on stage? Remember to promote the movie."
"Don't worry, I'll remember everything." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and figured out that under normal circumstances, he should arrange a chat session with the host. It's okay to mention it when he can't perform.
Zhang Qing immediately dispelled Fu Yunshen's concerns, "When we talked with the program team, they arranged a thirty-second period for us to promote the movie."
"This arrangement is great." Fu Yunshen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Although they are not specifically hosting parties, they are somewhat familiar with the ratings during the time when Jiang Yuan appears.
It happens to be the finale period again, and the advertising effect at this time should be very good.
"I can take a look at it then and I should be able to squeeze in time for publicity." Shang Yan'er also said beside her.
"Very good. It's a pity that I wasn't invited to any party." Fu Yunshen shook his head and sighed, and then began to read a report on the results of the first week of "Love Letter".
Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er looked at each other and were a little bit dumbfounded by Fu Yunshen's level of concern.
In the entire production of the movie, Fu Yunshen was already the one who contributed the most. Whether it was location selection or some post-film work, including publicity, etc., Jiang Yuan felt that Fu Yunshen was the most dedicated person.
Already.
Sometimes, Jiang Yuan even feels a little guilty because of his directorial title.
After all, in the evaluation of the outside world, the credit is basically given to Jiang Yuan alone. If Fu Yunshen had not shot and directed some scenes with his own style, he would have been just like the assistant director of other movies.
Disappeared.
Before returning to the peninsula, Jiang Yuan asked Fu Yunshen why he was so concerned about it.
The answer given by Fu Yunshen was that on the one hand, he loved it, and on the other hand, he indeed regarded the results of "Love Letter" as a very important work in his career.
Such level of dedication is one of the main reasons why Jiang Yuan wants to sign Fu Yunshen to his own studio and have further cooperation.
Of course, Fu Yunshen didn't take the initiative to say whether Fu Yunshen meant anything in such a performance, and Jiang Yuan tacitly understood it.
Although there is indeed such a starting point, it is only because Fu Yunshen has really dedicated himself and is capable that he will finally achieve such a result.
"The movie's reputation has continued to rise four days after its release..."
A few days after its release, the movie's ratings on multiple platforms were officially released. Even though the ratings were not low, as the number of moviegoers increased, it showed a downward trend.
The stability of word-of-mouth evaluation is also one of the reasons why the movie's box office has been relatively good.
"Before the New Year's Eve season officially arrives next week, the film schedule provided by theaters is quite sufficient..." Fu Yunshen briefly analyzed it.
In short, the box office performance of the movie in the next few days is obviously also very important, and to a certain extent, it may determine the fate of the movie when the next schedule arrives.
"By the way, what film festival did you mention earlier?"
After understanding the situation in the first week, the vehicle had already driven away from the airport for a while, and Jiang Yuan also thought of something that Fu Yunshen mentioned before on the peninsula.
"Yes, we should be automatically selected for this year's Academy Awards."
"Looking at the current box office performance and word-of-mouth, we might have a chance to compete for some awards." Fu Yunshen nodded.
When Jiang Yuan heard the name of the Academy Award, he also recalled some of it.
In this world, the annual Academy Awards is like the Golden Melody Awards in the film industry. It is regarded as an annual industry commendation conference and is quite valuable.
The last time Jiang Yuan heard the name of this award was when "The Invisible Guest" was released at the beginning of the year.
At that time, the movie's box office and reputation were also very good, and He Jing also said something similar.
As an award that can be regarded as a benchmark in the industry, the selection of the Academy Awards is relatively transparent and more in line with public perception. Basically, the film will be judged from two aspects: commercial and artistic value.
The two concrete things are naturally the box office and the movie's reputation.
Judging from this, Jiang Yuan's two works released this year do seem to be strong contenders for the Academy Awards.
"And we can't tell for sure about other awards. You should have won the Best New Director award at this year's Academy Awards." Fu Yunshen glanced at Jiang Yuan and said with some envy.
The first film he filmed won such a major award as the Academy Award. Fu Yunshen also dreamed of it when he first debuted.
Although he has won some awards for Best New Director, there is obviously still a certain gap between him and a film award at the level of the Academy Awards.
"The selection day will be next month. We will know whether we have won the award before the Spring Festival." Fu Yunshen said after thinking about the time.
There is also a certain amount of excitement. Although it is not necessarily that I won the award, it would be more of a sense of participation to witness Jiang Yuan win the Best New Director.
"I should be able to attend the award ceremony with you then, right?" Shang Yan'er asked, not caring much about the awards.
In Shang Yan'er's opinion, she was already outstanding if she could understand the first scene.
As for winning an Academy Award for my first movie, I still don't dare to think about it.
In contrast, Jiang Yuan dares to think more. After all, in the past two years, he has won various awards, large and small.
Comparing it with the Academy Awards, it seems to be nothing more than that.
So after hearing what Fu Yunshen said, Jiang Yuan nodded naturally, "Then I really have to think about what I'm going to say in my acceptance speech in advance."
If it is the first time for a director to win an award, Jiang Yuan feels that the acceptance speech should be carefully prepared.
"I have confirmed several sets of dresses for the event with the brand. You can also see which one you want to wear to the award ceremony." Zhang Qing took over the topic in a normal way.
In a few words of conversation, the two even confirmed matters related to participating in the Academy Awards ceremony.
The two people's confident display made Fu Yunshen and others stunned for a moment. After coming back to their senses, they just smiled and said nothing.
