Chapter 425: Box office predictions on the first day.
After sending someone to send the little girl and her friends back, the midnight screening had already begun. Looking at the suddenly empty theater lobby, Han Fei could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Back at the company, the group of guys headed by Jiang Qinghou were playing poker. After experiencing so many movie premieres, everyone also learned how to regulate their emotions.
But obviously, everyone was out of shape, either blowing up the opponent or playing the wrong cards, and even the small punishment note seemed a bit perfunctory.
Han Fei also followed suit and played cards, and soon his face was plastered all over.
On the other side, in each theater, the exclamations grew from small to loud, and there would be a climax every once in a while. However, no audience blamed others for affecting their viewing experience. Instead, they felt that the atmosphere was in place, better than if they were alone.
Watching movies at home is much more enjoyable.
Especially in some IMAX and 3D theaters, the experience is more realistic, as if you are in a doomsday world.
And some viewers in the ordinary screening hall will also think, if the 2D effect is so great, isn’t the 3D, giant screen effect about to take off? Secretly regretting that they started too late and did not grab the tickets.
"Should I make up for a 3D ticket? Well, it's best to make an appointment with a girl."
At 2:05 in the morning, "The Wandering Earth" ended at midnight, and a large number of film reviews began to appear online. In just half an hour, nearly 30,000 people rated it, of which 4,000 viewers wrote long reviews of more than 100 words.
, and the score is fixed at 8.6 points.
For a commercial film, this score is already quite high. More importantly, the first words of many viewers' comments were: I can't believe this is a science fiction film made by Chinese people.
Yes, I can’t believe it. This is the attitude of most viewers. Even many science fiction enthusiasts, after watching so many Western science fictions, have to admit that this is the closest to reality and the most immersive they have ever seen.
A science fiction film.
Of course, it is not without criticism. Many viewers ridiculed Han Beibei's sensational speech, and some also used some scientific and technological knowledge points to criticize.
For example: It is a false proposition to stop the rotation of the earth, or if the earth wants to leave the solar system, how could it not take into account the gravity of Jupiter and so on.
So soon someone came to confront them. First of all, if the earth stops rotating, it may indeed lead to catastrophe for mankind. However, science fiction itself must be allowed to contain fantasy elements. After all, who can prove that if the earth stops rotating, it will definitely lead to catastrophe.
What about the destruction of mankind? Since neither side can prove it, why can't this hypothesis exist?
Secondly, when the Earth leaves the solar system, the gravity of Jupiter will definitely be taken into consideration. The Hohmann transfer orbit concept is adopted. It does not fly out all at once like throwing a javelin. Instead, it adopts the method of throwing a discus in a circle, first revolving the Earth around the sun.
The purpose of changing the orbit from circular to elliptical is to obtain a path and speed towards Jupiter so that it can use Jupiter's gravity to accelerate and ultimately escape from the solar system.
In the film, the reason why the earth is captured by Jupiter's gravity is because the calculation deviates from the actual situation. To be precise, this is a gamble. Obviously, luck is not on the side of mankind.
Many viewers originally said they were just here to have fun, but unexpectedly, they actually gained a lot of aerospace knowledge. Some felt ashamed that they had lost all their high school physics to their teachers.
The debate on the Internet continued, but Han Fei and his party were anxiously waiting for the statistics. Finally at three o'clock in the morning, Luo Yi finally walked in with a document.
Han Fei pulled off the note on his face. Jiang Qinghou opened his mouth when he saw this guy was cheating, but when he saw Luo Yi coming in, he immediately stopped caring about it and hurried forward.
This time, Han Fei didn't have time to look at the previous statistics, so he looked directly at the total box office at the bottom: 32.69 million.
"Damn it, you're so awesome!"
"It's done, we succeeded!"
Suddenly there was a burst of howling and howling in the conference room, and even Han Fei was waving his fists excitedly.
It's not easy. With an extraordinary production cycle of two and a half years, even a team like them has reached the limit. Everyone is gritting their teeth and holding on.
After more than 800 days and nights, this moment has finally paid off. How can one not be excited?
The zero-point box office of 32.69 million not only broke the record for Chinese-language films, but is also likely to break the first-day box office record. It is foreseeable how crazy the box office will be tomorrow.
Of course, the reason why there is such a terrifying box office is also due to the film scheduling of each theater chain. The film scheduling of ordinary theaters has reached more than 35%, and some even give 40%.
Moreover, since "The Wandering Earth" has been scheduled to be released, many film and television companies have given up the idea of confronting Han Fei. Most of the films released at the same time are small productions, and it is difficult to pose a threat to "The Wandering Earth".
Secondly, there is the natural advantage of 3D ticket prices. A ticket costs more than ten yuan, which is equivalent to two tickets being worth three ordinary tickets. This advantage is really obvious.
In the circle, after the zero-point box office was announced, everyone was shocked. Although everyone guessed that the box office of "The Wandering Earth" would be very high, no one expected it to be this high. If nothing else happened, on the first day
The record breaking box office is also solid.
So the major media began to rush to report on it. After a wave of boasting, they began to speculate on how much the box office could reach on the first day, 300 million?
Or 350 million?
The next morning, it was another weekend. When many movie fans got up and turned on their mobile phones, they found many news feeds about "The Wandering Earth". When they clicked and took a look, they were shocked to find that the zero-point box office could be so scary?
Audiences who have not watched "The Wandering Earth" can't help but be a little confused. Are these media paid? Are they constantly boasting that the publicity expenses are not included in the cost?
Of course, after doubting it, many viewers clicked on Wandou.com, only to find that the ratings were so high. Moreover, looking at those long reviews, it didn’t seem to be fake. Among them were some very prestigious film and television celebrities. The writing style was remarkable.
It almost brings tears to my eyes.
So starting from 8 o'clock in the morning, the data of major ticket-purchasing apps began to increase dramatically. In just half an hour, more than half of the tickets for the 10 o'clock show were booked. For some tickets that did not open for the 10 o'clock show, the tickets for the 12 o'clock show were also booked.
They were sold out, especially some 3D and giant-screen screening rooms. After all, the Internet said that the movie-watching experience was better. It was just a matter of spending more money to finally watch a movie. Who cares about the money?
Then, many viewers who did not have the habit of booking tickets on the app or were relatively close to the theater were told when they arrived at the theater that today's tickets were all gone.
Yes, you heard me right, it’s not that the tickets for ten o’clock and twelve o’clock are gone, but all the tickets for one day are gone.
