Chapter 406 Actually panicked for a batch of months
In the hotel suite, large double bed.
Even in the north, July is already a bit hot.
The air conditioner kept blowing out cold air, and the quilt originally covering the bed had been kicked off. There were only two men and women entangled together, sleeping in an unsightly posture.
At 6:30 in the morning, the biological clock automatically woke up Tang An, as he had been doing for a long time.
Gently push aside the thin arms and white legs on the body, and take out the arms that are pillowed under the head.
Just as Tang An put her head on the pillow, her eyes suddenly opened.
"Wake up, let's sleep a little longer, I'll watch the news."
Tang An smiled and picked up the laptop on the bedside. "Painted Skin 2" has been released for a day, and the first-day box office data should have been released long ago.
The day after the premiere, Tang An did not go back to work directly. The post-production that lasted for more than a month made him a little tired, so he simply took a two-day break.
Clicking on the email, a detailed report was already lying there.
Tang Yan also sat up next to Tang An and asked curiously, "Brother An, how much is the box office?"
"33 million, almost as expected."
Tang An nodded with satisfaction and carefully looked at several statistical charts and tables.
There are no huge regional differences, and the attendance and box office divisions across the country are pretty good.
It's just that the audience is still mostly adults, and the proportion of moviegoers between the ages of 15 and 18 is not high.
Hollywood movies are becoming more and more youth-oriented, and this is actually the case in China as well. Not only do we need to capture adults, we also need to firmly capture teenagers.
It is best to make money from women and children. In a few years, two Ma Ge will become the top three super rich people in the country relying on their women and children.
The number of female viewers of the "Painted Skin" series is no less than that of male viewers. This is precisely the attraction of this sadistic triangle relationship.
However, compared to the first part, the picture of "Painted Skin 2" is more beautiful, unlike the first part where the overall tone is a bit gloomy.
To put it simply, the second part is more commercial.
What's worse is the plot, at least a little worse than the first one, which has attracted a lot of criticism.
It has mixed reviews, but the only good thing is that the plot has been streamlined to make it less procrastinating. It has a better reputation than the original, with a Douban score of 6.9.
It is estimated that after drawing, it should still be able to maintain above 6 points, which is already very good.
"King of Guns", which was released on the same day, barely managed to get 10 million at the box office on the first day, even though it starred two major stars, Louis Koo and Daniel Wu.
This result is much better than the previous Hong Kong police and gangster films. It seems that last year's "Eavesdropping" still breathed a sigh of relief for Hong Kong movies.
Later there will be another "Chill", and it seems that every few years there will be a Hong Kong police film with good quality and good box office.
Tang Yan wasn't too surprised when he heard this number. After all, "囧囧" had a single-day peak of more than 40 million.
But then I thought about it, the current first-day box office record for domestic movies was only 27.5 million, and I couldn't help but exclaim.
"Brother An, this has broken all your records."
"If it's broken, it's broken. What's so strange? When my record can only be broken by myself, his domestic films will be finished."
Tang An smiled and saw Tang Yan's rosy little mouth growing into an "O", so he couldn't help but put his head over to give her a kiss.
His hands began to become dishonest, and after a period of discordant fumbling, the quilt was covered again, blocking the early morning spring light.
It was early in the morning when the anger was high, and it took nearly an hour to calm down. I saw the blush on Tang Yan's face that had not faded all the way to his neck, his eyes were blurred, and beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.
On his forehead, a strand of hair stuck to his face with sweat, and the tiny fluff on his red ears was clearly visible.
After taking a bath together, they both lay peacefully on the sofa.
"Brother An, how much box office can "Painted Skin 2" earn?"
"RMB 600 million. "Tangshan Earthquake" will be released on the 22nd. It will have a great impact. If it reaches a box office of 600 million, it will be considered a success."
When it was released in 2012, the box office was only 700 million, and the screens at that time were more than twice as big as now.
"600 million is quite high. Isn't there "The King's Feast" to be released next week?" Tang Yan raised his head and asked again.
"Then there won't be any obstacles to the movie. You don't have to worry about your opponents before "Tangshan Earthquake"." Tang An shook his head indifferently.
Lu Chuan was like that. The only time he took advantage of the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was to make a bad movie. As a result, after taking in nearly 700 million in box office, he looked like he looked down on the original work.
There is still a target of 700 million. If it is 100 million, I should be laughing.
"But can "Tangshan Earthquake" really have a high box office? Few people like to watch movies with this theme, right?" Tang Yan asked puzzledly.
"This is not a main theme movie, it is a commercial movie through and through. As long as Feng Xiaogang can move the audience, there is no need to worry about the box office." Tang An said with a smile.
This year there will be a movie about earthquakes, "Shocking", but this is a movie with the main theme. Uncle Jun from the neighborhood comes and everyone is saved.
Audiences will definitely not like watching this kind of movie, but "Tangshan Earthquake" is different.
The same goes for the later popular movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine". The director perfectly captured the audience's laughter, tears and pain points, and made the audience resonate, which is why it created such a big sensation.
It's a pity that the subsequent "1942" failed to find a good balance. It was too tragic and heavy. The top government officials were too far away from the people, and the multi-line narrative was not well grasped.
"Painted Skin 2"'s first-day sales of 33 million has broken the first-day box office record for domestic films. It is yet another blockbuster that has received the most attention during the summer season, occupying most of all entertainment news almost instantly.
Of course, the happiest people are the film investors. This is real money, not to mention it will be of great help to the company's listing.
Yu Dong and Wang Changtian immediately increased their publicity efforts again, and personally approached several major theater chains to request more film arrangements.
Some people are happy, and others are unhappy. All the movies released at the same time have become cannon fodder. Only "The King of Guns" can be sipped on the side.
Over at Huayi, Wang Zhongjun was full of confidence on the surface, but actually he was a little panicked in his heart. Fortunately, "Tangshan Earthquake" would not be released for more than half a month, so it would not have much impact.
Lu Chuan, the director of another summer blockbuster "The King's Feast", also anxiously awaited the first-day box office figures.
The first-day box office of 33 million yuan also made Lu Chuan tremble in his heart. Although he had boasted a box office target of 700 million yuan, his greatest expectation was only 400 million yuan.
The first-day performance of "Painted Skin 2" will definitely have a big impact on "The King's Feast", which will be released on the 15th.
Fortunately, after half a month, the popularity of "Painted Skin 2" should have slowly subsided.
Lu Chuan was also secretly glad that he was not so impulsive to compete with "Painted Skin 2".
As for "Tangshan Earthquake" being released a week after him, I'm not that worried, after all, this kind of subject matter is here.
