Chapter 504 Break the weekly box office record again
Zhang Weiping has been worried these days. He bumped into Tang An during the Lunar New Year this year, and it was only 7 days away from the release date of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".
Although he has enough confidence in Zhang Yimou, Tang An's past results are scary enough, and he still doesn't know who will win.
The record-breaking number was 82 million on the first day, and 91 million on the second day. It became more and more popular day by day.
Zhang Weiping was also frightened by such a high single-day box office.
Moreover, the film schedule of "The Martian" is getting higher and higher. If Monday's drop is not too big, then the subsequent film schedule will not be lower either.
"Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" will be released on the 15th. The three blockbusters are squeezing the market. It can be said that whoever can grab more films will have a greater chance of winning.
Zhang Weiping doesn't even care to talk about it now. He goes to the bosses of major theater chains every day to get more film schedules for "The Thirteen Beauties" on the first day of its release.
It was past 12 o'clock when I got home after two dinner parties, and I dragged my tired body to sit on the sofa.
I took out my phone, squinted my eyes and opened the email, and I saw that line of numbers at a glance!
104 million!
Zhang Weiping subconsciously squinted his eyes, and when he opened them he found that it was still the same number.
hiss!
Zhang Weiping took a deep breath and stared at the narrow phone screen without blinking.
Unexpectedly, 91 million yesterday was not the limit for "The Martian". The box office potential is too scary.
Tang An's ability to get 82 million at the box office on the first day will not scare Zhang Weiping. After all, 78% of the film schedule is a 3D movie.
But now it has increased to 91 million and 104 million, which is enough to show that this is not the limit of "The Martian".
As a result of the shortage of demand, the box office on weekdays will still maintain a good trend.
The scale of publicity must be increased, and the fight with Bernard must be stopped, and all efforts must be concentrated on dealing with Tang An.
Just as Zhang Weiping thought, Yu Dong made the same choice and ignored "The Thirteen Hairpins". In addition to promoting "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", he also sent a large number of navy troops to target "The Martian"
Do negative marketing.
Not just the two of them, the entire entertainment industry was shocked by the number of 104 million, and not many people could sleep at all.
This year, including Hollywood movies, there have been less than 35 domestic movies with box office sales exceeding 100 million yuan.
Last year, there were less than 25 films, and the year before that, there were less than 15 films.
This is completely different from the concept of "Transformers 3" that exceeded 100 million in a single day. The audience gap is a bit big, and each company is not someone who doesn't understand the market.
No matter what outsiders think, the editors on duty at major media outlets are excited and are sending out press releases one after another as if they were getting blood.
This is the first domestic film to have a box office of over 100 million in a single day. Even if it is 10 million higher than yesterday's 9100, it is still on two levels!
"The single-day box office of Chinese-language movies has exceeded 100 million, and this moment has finally arrived!" The homepage of Tengxun has several large characters and a huge poster!
"Chinese-language movies have entered the billion-dollar era, the era of super blockbusters!" Xin Lang directly used two "eras".
"Ten years ago, the first blockbuster "Heroes" ushered in the era of commercial blockbusters in the domestic film market. Today, 10 years later, after "Edge of Tomorrow" exceeded 1 billion, "The Martian" grossed 104 million in a single day, and the final box office
There is no doubt that it will exceed 1 billion.
Two films cost 1 billion and one cost 900 million. Success is no accident. Now the domestic market has fully matured and has officially entered the 1 billion era, which is also the era of super blockbusters!"
"Tang An set another record, collecting another 104 million in box office in a single day. He is undoubtedly the number one commercial director."
"With 277 million in three days, Tang An created the best start for a Chinese-language film, aiming for the record of "Avatar"!"
"Winning the domestic film and television box office championship is just around the corner. Tang An will regain our record!"
"Tang An, the king of the summer season, continues to conquer the Lunar New Year season. Can he repeat his five-consecutive summer hegemony?"
The media from all walks of life came out in force to praise one of them, and then included the other two blockbusters, making all kinds of comparisons, speculations, satires, whatever the case, they reported on the controversy.
Suddenly, there were a lot less trolls for "The Thirteen Girls" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", while there were more and more trolls for "The Martian".
What to spray?
There is nothing to complain about the characters. I mainly complain about the setting and the plot. If I can find something slightly unreasonable, I will talk about it.
The key point is that everything is justified and the trolls have assumed some relatively authoritative identities.
On Weibo, an account claiming to be a master of astronomy pointed out the mistake in the storm at the beginning.
"If you think about it carefully, there is a big bug in the opening scene of "The Martian" because it is impossible to have such strong winds on Mars! The air pressure above is very low, less than one percent of that on Earth. Even if there is wind on Mars
, at most it can blow your hair.
Therefore, the story should be like this: "Mars Does Not Need Rescue" is the end of the play."
In addition, there is also the issue of radiation on Mars. Staying on Mars for one day is equivalent to the radiation dose of receiving a full-body CT scan once a week. However, in the movie, there is no impact at all.
There are those who claim to be botanical experts and criticize the methods of growing potatoes and the feasibility of growing potatoes on Mars.
A lot of professional terminology was thrown out, which the average audience did not understand, and with the rhythm set by the trolls, it was quite noisy.
They also took out photos that were taken secretly in the theater and were specially processed to make the background effect look bad, criticizing the background of Mars in the movie as too fake and too distorted.
Even the one-and-a-half-month shooting time was used by the navy to make a fuss and turned into a film that was rushed out in one month.
A science fiction blockbuster filmed in a month, if it were made by an ordinary director, it would definitely be labeled as "shoddy".
Facing the powerful enemy of "The Martian", the new picture and Bernard were surprisingly in sync and turned the gun.
There is a melee between the three parties, and various forums and post bars are very lively.
On Monday afternoon, Tang An took the crew to Ninghang. Many viewers mentioned those bugs, and Tang An answered them one by one.
"First, in order for the plot to progress, I had to find a way to keep the male protagonist on Mars. I discussed it many times with the original author and experts from the space agency, and finally decided to create a story on Mars that was supposed to be
Impossible storm."
Tang An's lack of "hard talk" makes everything in the movie reasonable, which directly admits that the storm at the beginning was made up. With such honesty, the fans have nothing to say.
In fact, it was an innocuous bug. Someone mentioned it on the first day it was released, but no one paid attention to it because there were no trolls to lead the way.
As for the question of questioning the quality of the Martian background in the movie, it is no longer a problem after watching the movie.
Time passed slowly, and on Sunday the 11th, "The Martian" once again took home 93 million at the box office, with a total of 370 million in the first four days of release.
It once again broke the first-week box office record for domestic films.
On Monday the 12th, the trend was still strong, with a box office of 55 million again with a drop of 40%.
It rose slightly on Tuesday the 13th and got 60 million.
It was released for 6 days and the total box office was as high as 485 million.
On the afternoon of the 13th, the premiere ceremony of "The Thirteen Beauties" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" were held on the same day.
Tang An also returned to the capital today and will hold a 500 million box office celebration party tomorrow to build momentum. He will also go to the premiere to see if there is anything going on with the company.
