What should I do if I have a childhood sweetheart who wants to be a singer? Chapter 373: Word-of-mouth counterattack, box office released on the first day
Chapter 373: Word-of-mouth counterattack, box office released on the first day
When Sang Shaolong came out of the theater at this time, although he was still a little excited, he had calmed down a lot.
As soon as I returned home, I quickly turned on my computer and started writing a film review of "The Return of the Great Sage".
And prepare to stay up late to make the video.
It wasn't until six o'clock in the morning that I checked last night's video and sent it out, and then I went to bed with peace of mind.
After this sleep, it was already afternoon when I woke up.
Of course, the first thing he did at this time was to turn on his computer and look at his video data.
Sure enough, just as he thought, in less than ten hours, the number of views of the video has exceeded one million, and it has become a popular site on G.
But what surprised him was that he was not the only one in G station’s video about "The Return of the Great Sage".
There are also many others, and more importantly, many of them have even more views than him.
Sang Shaolong was a little stunned. "The Return of the Great Sage" has just been released, is it so popular?
Wasn’t everyone criticizing this movie before?
.......
While Sang Shaolong felt incredible, on Weibo, topics related to "The Return of the Great Sage" had topped the hot search list for more than ten hours.
In other words, the popularity of this animated movie has been high since its premiere in the early morning.
It’s not just a matter of discussion, but because of this animated movie, everyone sees the hope of the rise of Chinese comics.
"Originally I just thought I would go to kill the time because I couldn't sleep, but I didn't expect it to make my blood boil. After I got home, I couldn't even fall asleep."
"I apologize directly. This animated film clearly shows Xu Ji's sincerity."
"Who said Xu Ji was ruining the classics by filming Journey to the West? The plot of this adaptation is indeed touching."
"I'm back, I'm all back. When I saw Wukong regaining his magic power at the end, I suddenly felt like I was back to the time when I was a kid watching Journey to the West, and I burst into tears instantly."
"This is the animated movie that China should have. Facts have proved that domestic animated movies are not only for children, but also for adults."
......
There are various discussions about "The Return of the Great Sage" on the Internet, but the reason why it has attracted so much attention is actually because it is related to the theme of this animated film.
Journey to the West is basically everyone's childhood memory, so when you see your childhood hero lose all his magic power when he appears on the stage, and can't even defeat the monsters, you can't help but feel very sad.
The more so, the more touching I feel when I see Wukong finally breaking free from the seal on his wrist and becoming the Monkey King.
There were a lot of comments on the Internet, and many viewers actually accompanied their children to watch it, but at the end of the movie, the children didn’t feel anything, but the adults had tears in their eyes.
"I took my son to watch the movie. He had never seen Journey to the West before and asked me why Jiang Liu'er admired the Monkey King so much. I was a little speechless for a while, and then I realized that I was actually Jiang Liu'er when I was a child."<
/p>
"Halfway through, the child asked me why Wukong was unwilling to help Jiang Liu'er. I was stunned for a moment. I could understand why, but I couldn't explain it clearly."
"It feels like the journey from the Monkey King to the monkey who wants to return to Huaguo Mountain to live an ordinary life is like me growing up. I hope that the Monkey King in everyone's hearts will never die."
......
The word-of-mouth counterattack of "The Return of the Great Sage" seems to have been completed in an instant.
On the day of the premiere, the entire network basically went from scolding it to being praised by the entire network.
The main reason is that before watching it, everyone had no idea that this animated movie would be such a movie.
Compared with the exquisite animation production, more people are actually more affected by the plot.
The emotional blessing of Journey to the West is really great, and more importantly, when everyone watched Journey to the West when they were young, they liked Sun Wukong because of his unrestrained way of going up to heaven and earth, and not taking anyone seriously.
But unfortunately, except for a small part at the beginning and end of this "The Return of the Great Sage", most of the plot is about Sun Wukong who has become an ordinary person.
The story itself is very smooth. If you take your children to watch it, they can also understand the plot.
But when adults go to see it, what they see is different from what children see.
As for why word-of-mouth changes so quickly, it actually has something to do with the fact that the movie itself is an animated movie.
After all, it is Children’s Day, and everyone plans to take their children to the theater to watch movies.
Among all animated movies, adults are most familiar with the theme of Journey to the West.
Although many people criticized it before, it made people remember this movie.
When taking their children to watch a movie, parents tend to care less about the content of the movie.
Naturally, I randomly chose a famous one to watch.
The parents originally just followed, but they didn’t expect to watch more seriously than their own children.
When the cool scene of Sun Wukong getting rid of the seal and becoming the Monkey King finally came out, no one could remain absolutely calm.
......
"The Return of the Great Sage" successfully won the single-day box office championship on June 1st, directly earning 150 million in the single-day box office.
Although such achievements are not an exaggeration.
But in a period like June 1st, it is definitely an outstanding performance to be able to get such a box office.
In fact, when it first started, the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" was only the third highest in the same period.
It was only during the day, as word-of-mouth fermented, that the box office gradually surpassed the previous two movies of the same period.
In addition, after the first day of release, the rating of "The Return of the Monkey King" on Huaban.com was fixed at 8.9 points.
It's a pity that I didn't get nine points.
As usual, there should be no chance of improvement in subsequent ratings.
It is estimated that the final score will be settled at around 8.5.
Everyone at Cherry Animation started celebrating directly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Especially the person in charge, Yu Longwu, was particularly excited at this time.
His dream has always been to make an animated film that can be successfully recognized by adult audiences.
He worked hard for a long time for this dream.
He even got his own company involved for this purpose.
But it failed in the end. The failure of Cherry Animation last year is still vivid in his mind.
Unexpectedly, in less than a year, his dream would come true because Cherry Animation was acquired by Tongji.
He has been reading some online movie reviews that praise "The Return of the Great Sage" every day recently, and the more he reads, the more comfortable he feels.
When the box office came out on the first day, Yu Longwu naturally held a celebration party.
Of course, unlike Yu Longwu who was so excited, at Tongji Entertainment, both Youman and Wenhao seemed very calm.
Although he said he was here to attend the celebration banquet, he didn't appear that excited.
At first, Yu Longwu felt a little confused.
But then I remembered Tongji Entertainment’s terrifying record of making popular movies. Obviously, the other party was already used to such scenes.
......
At the same time, while Tongji Entertainment was holding a celebration banquet here, at Smallpox Entertainment on the other side, Liu Sanlang was not in a good mood.
This time, in order to slap Tongji Entertainment in the face, he postponed the release of a movie of his company with a large investment to the June 1st period.
In the end, it was suppressed by "The Return of the Great Sage".
Even because it was June 1st, the movie's box office performance on the first day was very unsatisfactory, and it even ranked third in the same period.
The single-day box office was only over 50 million.
For a movie with an investment of nearly 200 million, such a start is likely to result in a loss.
If it had been released a few days earlier, the performance might have been much better than this.
And Liu Sanlang, the CEO who decided to postpone the release of the movie, must bear full responsibility.
Although it is said that the impact on him will not be that big, it is inevitable that there will be some gossips.
It’s strange that Liu Sanlang is in a good mood.
In fact, as early as early yesterday morning, he went to watch the premiere of "The Return of the Great Sage".
After he read it, he realized something was wrong.
Liu Sanlang is not a bastard who knows nothing, otherwise he would not have become the president in such a fiercely competitive smallpox world.
In other words, in fact, Liu Sanlang's abilities are not weak. Even in the entire industry, he is considered a manager with outstanding abilities.
So after watching the entire "The Return of the Great Sage", he immediately realized that he might have underestimated Xu Ji's ability too much.
This animated film, both in terms of plot and production, is definitely an excellent type of commercial film.
Although it is an animated movie, it still does not hinder the quality of the movie itself.
If nothing else happens, it is very likely to become a hot item during the June 1st period.
Liu Sanlang immediately felt regretful. He would have known that he had tricked Phoenix Entertainment into letting the two Li brothers find their new movie to be released in advance.
.......
Of course, Liu Sanlang didn't actually know that Li Bokai had already figured out his thoughts.
At Phoenix Entertainment at this time, Li Bokai was very happy after seeing the first-day box office of "The Return of the Great Sage".
Fortunately, he didn't act impulsively and let Xiaopo do this to add insult to injury.
Otherwise, it is probably Phoenix Entertainment that is losing money on the movie now.
When he was on the phone with Liu Sanlang, Li Bokai's words were filled with contempt and contempt for Xu Ji and this animated film.
Liu Sanlang believed it because it was indeed in line with Li Bokai's character.
But what he didn't know was that Li Bokai would look down on anyone, but he would never look down on Xu Ji.
His purpose for Tongji Entertainment from the beginning was to make Xu Ji a member of his company.
The kind who want Xu Ji to join Phoenix Entertainment even if they can pay for the shares.
Because he firmly believes that if he can get Xu Ji, Phoenix Entertainment will probably eventually become a dominant entertainment company in China.
How could Li Bokai despise such a person?
Even though the outside world is saying bad things, he is still very cautious.
Those words were just for Liu Sanlang.
Even Phoenix Entertainment actually had a small-budget movie to be released during the June 1st holiday period.
But in the end, Li Bokai postponed it.
Anyway, with the smallpox side to test, Li Bokai will definitely not let his side suffer any losses again.
Now it seems that this decision is extremely correct.
At the same time, Li Bokai began to become more and more wary of Xu Ji's existence.
At the beginning, Li Bokai really wanted to recruit Xu Ji and let him be used for his own purposes.
Gradually, he began to consider that if Xu Ji could join, it would not be impossible for him to become the largest shareholder of Phoenix Entertainment in addition to the two Li brothers.
Even if a cooperative relationship can be reached, as long as the other party can join Phoenix Entertainment, then it is nothing to spend thousands of dollars to buy horse bones.
But now, Li Bokai suddenly felt that maybe he had really thought too much, and getting Xu Ji to join was much more difficult than he thought.
The most important thing is because of the current Tongji Entertainment, their so-called ban has no impact on it at all.
Tongji Entertainment is different from many other companies.
Because the entire company is not short of money or people, it is completely independent in making movies and TV series.
The only thing they can do is to target the artists of Tongji Entertainment and prevent them from participating in some variety shows or performances.
But the artists of Tongji Entertainment are also a bunch of weirdos, and they don’t even like to participate in variety shows.
Their targeting looks more like a joke.
Because it is difficult to invite, on the contrary, if some programs can invite people from Tongji Entertainment, they will simply give up cooperating with artists from Phoenix Entertainment.
Such a ban had little impact on it, and even affected Phoenix Entertainment itself.
Now Li Bokai has given up such useless efforts, and even wants to take the initiative to approach Tongji Entertainment and Xu Ji, intending to build a good relationship with them.
But it is a pity that the feud between the two parties has been formed since Li Bokai's father was still in charge of the company and Xu Ji was still a newcomer, and now it seems that there is no possibility of resolving it.
Although there was no loss this time due to his own wit, for some reason, when Li Bokai thought about Xu Ji, he couldn't be happy and became even more depressed.
......
When he returned to Sang Shaolong, he actually didn't expect that things would develop very differently than he imagined.
Originally, he thought that he should be the only one who was drunk when everyone was drunk, but because of the video he made, "The Return of the Great Sage" achieved a word-of-mouth counterattack.
After all, he had had such an experience before.
But what I didn't expect was that he was not needed at all. "The Return of the Great Sage" instantly achieved a word-of-mouth counterattack after being discussed online in almost a day.
It is indeed a bit surprising.
More importantly, there seem to be many people who have the same idea as him this time.
Many G station up owners watched the premiere in the early morning. In fact, many of them even released the video before them.
Obviously, everyone knows that although there are many people criticizing on the Internet, it is a movie produced by Tongji Entertainment after all, and it is unknown until it is released.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people really just want to post a video of a car flipping over after watching it.
But no matter what, Sang Shaolong has clearly felt it.
Things are different now. Everyone knows that the works produced by Tongji Entertainment are traffic passwords.
The difficulty for him to make popular videos has also increased a lot.
