Chapter 271 This man is very hateful! (Begging for 12,000 a month!)
Compared with the previous months, the box office war in April really lacked a bit of excitement.
Everyone's expectations and enthusiasm for the box office are not very high.
The premiere box office is also very different...
Although "My Future" only received a box office of 9 million in its debut, it still directly surpassed the second place "Stray Pig" with a box office of 7 million, while "Stray Pig" had a box office of 2 million in its debut.
"Breaking Aliens" has a box office of one million...
There is no harm without comparison. In a sense, "Future You" topped the box office list, and none of the other domestic films could beat it.
If there are no accidents, this is another ending where a Hollywood movie beats a Chinese movie.
I really can't change it.
"Stray Pig" has a total investment of more than 10 million, and it is actually acceptable to receive a box office of 2 million at the premiere. Basically, as long as there are no major problems, there is no problem in maintaining the capital at the box office. If you are lucky, you can make a small profit.
…
The third place "Breaking Bad" was a bit poor at the box office, only 1 million, but compared to his 5 million investment, it was actually not bad. At least according to this trend, this movie can still make money.
As for the other artistic films with a box office of less than 1 million, they are very cheating.
The box office score of the premiere did not exceed 1 million, and the reputation was mediocre. So what do you want to do next?
As long as you don't lose money and pay it to grandma's house, you'll be thankful. How do you expect to make money?
Are you kidding? If you can make money, the world will fall into pieces, okay...
Hollywood is actually very dissatisfied with the premiere performance of "Future You" in China. In their impression, the box office performance of the first-day premiere must have exceeded 15 million, right?
But your box office on the first day was only 9 million...
Nine million...
This was really beyond their expectations. Director Thomson thought it was because the Chinese side did not do a good job in publicity or something, so he made a special call to Tianyu.
The person in charge of Tianyu felt a little aggrieved.
In terms of publicity, "My Future You" has actually been done well. In the past two months, major variety shows, Tieba, and many film and television portals have promoted "My Future You" special topics.
At the same time, major celebrities also participated in the premiere of "My Future You", which has fully prepared the popularity. In addition, major theaters have also worked hard to promote "My Future You", and the resources have been fully provided.
.
But……
However, this headline has never been a hot topic.
No matter how they create topics or create scandals, they will never make the headlines. At most, they can only occasionally show their presence on the home page and then be brushed off...
This is a sad story.
The headline thing sometimes really depends on luck. Some bastards can easily make the headlines, while some people can't even make the headlines despite working diligently and conscientiously to create topics and focus on various hot topics...
Who are you going to tell this grievance to?
After finally waiting until March 31st, when "My Future You" was about to be released, the Tianyu Publicity Department also specially launched a series of preferential policies and activities, preparing to make the premiere of "My Future You" a box office hit.
…
Then……
A certain shameless bastard suddenly appeared on Weibo and announced that his movie will not be released on April 1st but will be released on April 5th instead.
This bastard received a lot of criticism and at the same time sucked away the attention of fans of "Future You".
Do you think this is the end of it?
No!
It seems that God is favoring this bastard...
In the early morning of April 1st, when Tianyu was ruthlessly preparing to issue a free ticket discount for "Future You" on its official Weibo and website, a mysterious person suddenly appeared and exposed the bastard again.
Shameless acts were exposed and criticized in an instant...
Tianyu really wanted to block that bastard. He really didn’t want to see news about this bastard anymore. But after seeing the passionate scoldings from netizens and movie fans, Tianyu found that no matter how he engaged in publicity strategies, he was attracting
Not even free tickets can attract the attention of a few moviegoers, let alone generate buzz around the topic.
Where did the heat go?
It's all on that disgusting guy!
Everyone is scolding that guy!
That bastard took away most of the curses from the entertainment industry and took away the traffic as well.
The plot is very similar to the previous two days.
They were so angry that their balls ached!
They have never seen such a arrogant person. This kind of arrogance has penetrated into the bone marrow, making the people in charge of Tianyu completely unable to resist...
They watched helplessly as that bastard was forced by netizens to engage in various activities at half price.
And that bastard's operation was also extremely shocking. He even bargained with them, as if he was getting a bargain but still behaved, as if I had suffered a big loss.
This look of grievance almost makes me want to slap him.
Don’t you really have a clue?
Can you please stop pretending to be pitiful?
The point is, these netizens thought they were making a lot of money, and they posted on Weibo everywhere to feel complacent, and they thought they were showing off everywhere as if they were awesome...
So the whole day on April 1st, the headlines were full of news about "This Man Is From Earth", while their "Future You" didn't have any popularity at all...
What’s even more irritating is that this “This Man Is From Earth” was spontaneously promoted by netizens.
In a sense, "This Man Is From Earth" really didn't spend much money on publicity. On the other hand, my own publicity expenses have already reached millions in the past two days...
Second O!
This is also propaganda, but why is the gap between the two so big?
After facing Thomson's doubts, they reluctantly passed today's headline news to Thomson.
When Thomson saw the Chinese young man above him, he felt familiar for a moment, but he couldn't remember who he was.
After hesitating for a long time, Thomson took a deep breath.
Really familiar.
"No, is this Chinese man...?"
Thomson suddenly turned on his computer and clicked on the Goya Award presentation video. After watching it, Thomson's pupils shrank, and his whole body became excited subconsciously!
This man was exactly the man who had won four consecutive Goya Awards in Spain and scared him.
Look at the attitude of the Chinese side describing this man through gritted teeth...
This man seems to have caused a lot of trouble to the headlines in the Chinese entertainment industry?
…………………………
The weather is getting hotter in April.
It’s no longer the cheerful March.
The bargaining session on Weibo made Lu Yuan feel like a failure.
Failure naturally brings some frustration, and Lu Yuan always felt that he would fall into a state of unfavorable conditions this April.
But today is not the year of birth, right?
Is the birth year next year, okay?
He originally wanted to do something happy, such as that he would soon be a man who owns two buildings, and that he would soon have an awesome existence in Hangzhou...
But when he thought that he was about to turn from a rich man worth hundreds of millions to a pauper, and most likely even become a negative asset, he felt a little pained.
Other time travelers can make a fortune in just one year, punching the richest man and kicking the big guys in the circle, but I...
Why are you living a somewhat useless life?
Lu Yuan thought a lot, and finally resisted the slight feeling of speechlessness and started to devote himself to work.
During the day, he went to film without any accident. At night, after he finished filming, he came to the office to write his copy of "The Legend of Wukong" and remember those damn English words.
If Lu Yuan didn't want to restore the English songs in his memory, he really didn't want to learn English.
Learning English is really painful.
However, it is still remarkable that he survived. After several months of hard work, he finally restored the song "As Long As You Love Me"...
Just one song?
What’s wrong with a song! This is an English song! It’s quite amazing for Lu Yuan, okay?
As for the other songs...
Well, Lu Yuan can only sing, but there is still a long way to go before restoring silent writing...
You have to at least learn English well before you can speak it, right?
After learning English and writing a few hundred words of "The Legend of Wukong", it's basically ten o'clock. At ten o'clock, Lu Yuan will call Wang Jinxue.
The content of the phone call was very simple. Basically, Lu Yuan told Wang Jinxue about the company's situation, and Wang Jinxue told Lu Yuan about the situation in Hangzhou and the work progress. As for the rest...
Okay, the rest is gone.
After finishing the phone call with Wang Jinxue, Lu Yuan will log in to "Magic World" and play a few games, but basically he won't stay up all night like before.
He found that his interest in the game was gradually losing...
Two more days passed like this and nothing unexpected happened.
On April 4th, "This Man Is From Earth" was completely reworked and the samples were sent to major theaters.
All the major theater chains have added some additional film schedules to this movie according to the original plan. After the increase is completed, they will do whatever they want...
You mean publicity?
Major theater chains are not interested in promoting this movie, and with the current popularity of this movie on the Internet, do you think it still needs to be promoted?
All the fans and fans are rushing to enjoy their spoils.
What publicity method is better than word of mouth?
Lu Yuan sighed and signed ten movie tickets. After signing, he remembered that today's movie tickets were all half-price.
Okay, Lu Yuan is aggrieved.
The picture was so beautiful that he didn't even want to see the box office results of the premiere.
……………………
I really don’t have much expectations for movies in April.
"Future You" premiered at 9 million, and basically stayed at around 7 million for the other three days, and this range is gradually declining.
The performance of the movie really doesn’t have any explosive points...
It's very common. You can't tell what's bad about this movie, and you can't tell what's good about it.
Most of the movie fans who watched it nodded and passed by.
No impression, no so-called good or bad reviews.
Insiders have made some estimates, and they think the movie will probably end up with a box office of around 130 million.
Compared with the investment cost, this result is almost very good, but after applying the four trademarks of Hollywood movies, it seems a little bit decadent, which is very reminiscent of last year's "Alien", but...
In terms of reputation, it is slightly better than Killing Aliens.
As for "Wanderer Pig", a movie that followed the trend of "Wanderer", it ushered in a small peak at the box office after the 2nd, with a box office exceeding 3 million on that day, but it continued to decline in the next two days...
This movie is not bad, but with "The Wanderer" in front of it, "The Wanderer" pales in comparison.
As for the movie "Alien", the reputation is surprisingly good. The box office has gradually increased from one million at the beginning to two million, three million...
On April 4th, the box office of this movie exceeded 4 million in a single day, and it began to counterattack "Stray Pig" and became the second-ranked movie in April. It can be regarded as a model of counterattack...
…
As for the two youth literary films "Youth Lost Paradise" and "Flowers of That Year"...
Okay, let's stay where it's cool.
The two movies combined just exceeded 100 box office sales in one day, which is really...
It was a disaster.
April 5th, morning.
"This Man Is From Earth" unexpectedly joined the battlefield in April...
It was supposed to enter theaters with a low profile, but after a commotion on the Internet, the movie became extremely popular...
All netizens are waiting for this movie.
While they were enjoying the results of their victory, they also wanted to know what this movie with an investment of less than 200,000 yuan was about.
