Opposite the hotel is Wanda. As a partner, the premiere road show of "Let the Bullets Fly" was all local Wanda cinemas, so we support each other.
The news of the arrival of the crew has been announced in advance. This Wanda restaurant has a total of 17 halls, six of which are open, and all of them are full.
At two o'clock in the morning, when Qin Xiaobao and others entered the theater, there were dozens of spectators waiting on both sides.
"Brother Xiaobao!"
"Teacher Jiang Wen."
"Sister Song Jia."
Seeing that there were not many people and there were still nearly twenty minutes left, Qin Xiaobao stopped and said, "Are you here to watch a movie or are you waiting for us specially?"
"Watch a movie," someone threw out a movie ticket: "Come out early to see you."
"Oh, you didn't even watch the ending?" Jiang Wen was surprised.
"It doesn't matter, we'll see the ending tomorrow."
"You're so awesome, let's take a photo together." Qin Xiaobao and the others took the initiative to step forward and took their mobile phones.
There were not many people, and people came to see the movie just to see the show, so the celebrities were quite willing to communicate.
Taking photos and talking at the same time.
"Teacher Jiang Wen, I like your character so much, so domineering!"
"Yeah," Jiang Wen immediately adopted the tone of a character in the play: "Young man, you are very good. I am optimistic about you."
It elicited a burst of cheers.
The county magistrate's wife played by Song Jia has also been sought after. Surprisingly, most of the people who like her are women, who find her very charming and...sao!
After some interaction, Qin Xiaobao and the other three faced the audience: "We have all watched the movie, although we have not finished it. What do you think?"
"nice!"
“It’s great.”
"The plot is exciting and the acting is very good."
"Director Qin, happy wedding."
One of the audience members suddenly shouted, and the others laughed.
Qin Xiaobao was not annoyed, and clasped his hands together to express his gratitude: "Well, since it looks good, please help us publicize it more. We are going to prepare. It is already two o'clock. Please pay attention to your safety when you go back."
"Bye-Bye!"
After chatting with the three celebrities for more than ten minutes, the audience was very satisfied. After watching them leave, they shared photos with the young lady who had just donated their mobile phones, and couldn't wait to post them on Moments to show off.
There was a movie theater that could accommodate 200 people, and the seats were packed. Even the first row was almost full.
The lights came on, the subtitles went up, and everyone started applauding because they saw Qin Xiaobao and the others appearing.
I don’t know whether it was Wanda or spontaneously, but the three girls brought bouquets to them.
"Hello everyone, I am Qin Xiaobao, the director of "Let the Bullets Fly"!"
Bang bang bang!
"Hi everybody, I'm..."
The three of them introduced themselves, and there were three cameras filming nearby. These can also be used as publicity materials in the future.
"You all know we will come, right?" Qin Xiaobao asked.
"yes!"
"How about it? When you see me, do you feel more beautiful or handsome?" When Qin Xiaobao said beautiful, he looked at Song Jia specifically. After such a long period of cooperation, the latter also put on a slightly charming posture.
It caused the audience to scream.
"The audience in Hangzhou is really enthusiastic," Qin Xiaobao gave a thumbs up and flattered everyone: "I would like to ask quietly, is there anyone who is sleepy now?"
"No!" The voices were uniform.
"That's good!"
For this kind of small meeting, there is no special host. Any of the three people can come. Qin Xiaobao has participated in the recording of a whole season of variety shows, and his hosting level has improved slightly.
He knew in his heart that no matter what, the director's appeal in the eyes of movie fans was not as attractive as that of the actor, and there was no need to compare.
"Next, we have a small activity." Qin Xiaobao took the microphone: "The audience at the scene, I will give you five minutes to think about it. Each of you will comment on the movie in one sentence. The three of us will be the judges, and we will select the three most satisfied ones.
Comment and get a Wanda Cinema thousand-yuan stored-value card as a gift.”
Oh oh oh, many viewers' eyes lit up, their brows furrowed, and they were thinking or discussing in a low voice. A thousand stored-value cards are very tempting.
Five minutes passed quickly.
"Are you ready?" Song Jia asked?
"No!" Many people shook their heads.
"That doesn't matter, let's start." Qin Xiaobao said: "Come on, which row comes first?"
He looked around, but no one raised his hand.
"The one who answers first has an advantage." Jiang Wen said casually and got a response immediately.
"'Let the Bullets Fly' will definitely be the box office champion."
"The best movie I've seen this year."
"The products produced by Qin Xiaobao must be high-quality."
"I'll do two and three brushes."
"..."
When Qin Xiaobao woke up, it was already half past nine in the morning, and the warm quilt sealed the motivation to get up.
It was already three o'clock when I came back last night, and it was already about four o'clock when I washed up and fell asleep. It was earlier than the other two groups. They were more than one street away from each other. Looking at the messages in the group, some fell asleep faster.
Bright.
The group was very lively, and the box office statistics for the midnight slot were completed.
Thirty-three and a half million.
This number was enough to inspire people and disperse Qin Xiaobao's drowsiness.
I got up quickly, washed up, and sent an emoticon in the group: Good grades, who’s guessing the latest?
Soon, other people came to the room, all with smiles on their faces, and congratulated each other just like the Chinese New Year.
The midnight box office of 33 million made a good start, nearly one-third higher than Qin Xiaobao's previous film.
"We should be able to break 100 million today!" Xiang Yang said happily: "The rating on Douban is 8.7, and Maoyan is 9.6. I took a look, and they all have good reviews."
Just look at the ratings on Maoyan and smile, don’t take them seriously, but Douban is not very good at lying.
"If Qin Xiaobao announces his retirement after filming this movie, he will definitely become a god and be loved."
"The story of a bandit meeting a bully is such a...fucking surprise."
"Chinese-style personal heroism, the filming is very smooth and lively, the plot is complex, but it is very relaxing to watch. Who would have thought that this is actually a comedy."
"It has romantic imagination, crazy aesthetics, ultimate performances, a very awesome commercial movie, and I admire it with capital letters."
"Qin Xiaobao is still great. After watching his previous movie "Supernatural Family", I felt that he had regressed. He was at his peak when he debuted, then wasted, and finally disappeared from the public. But after watching the movie, I want to apologize. Qin Xiaobao is still the same high-spirited young man with strong ambitions.
It’s a little too much.”
"This is a powder keg overflowing with hormones. This is a film that will bring about nuclear power reactions, shocking everyone, and lasting for a long time. The 130-minute film is full of climaxes, and the audience is excited from the beginning to the end, and they are constantly excited.
Laughter, constant applause. No matter which actor performed it brilliantly, the lines were humorous and exquisite, the structure was compact, and they echoed from beginning to end."
"My brother is very surprised. He has gained so much weight to make a movie. He really should show those young talents what acting skills are. Director Qin is really good at choosing actors. Everyone has distinct characteristics. They don't have a public face, and they can almost do it.
It’s not easy to make an impression.”
"Xiao Liuzi's death surprised and saddened me. It turned out that even good people we thought would die, but Director Qin knew very well that a tombstone could pull the audience out of their low mood. That's awesome!"
"..."
In fact, no matter singers, actors, or directors, after a new work is released, they will read the comments of netizens. If there are many positive reviews, they will publicize it. If there are many negative reviews, they will still scold the mother, and then pretend not to have seen it.
Artists are all proud, not everyone can accept criticism.
There were thousands of comments in one night, and some of them also criticized Qin Xiaobao, saying that he had exhausted his talent, and that the movie was boring and incomprehensible.
You can't satisfy everyone, especially online.
Some people don't think well of it. Even if they think it's good after one positive vote, they still have to criticize it for being unique or for other reasons.
"It wasn't done by our navy, was it?" Qin Xiaobao asked, pointing to those comments.
Xiang Yang shook his head: "How could it be? They are all actual feedback, written by the audience who watched the premiere yesterday. The task of the navy now is to post these accurate comments to major forums, post bars and QQ groups."
"Very good," Qin Xiaobao touched his chin: "Where are Brother Jiang and Sister Song Jia, haven't they gotten up yet?"
"Get up, Miss Song Jia is putting on makeup, Teacher Jiang will be here soon."
Qin Xiaobao nodded and remained silent for the time being. He continued to read the messages on the computer with a serious smile on his face, feeling happy in his heart.
"Congratulations, Director Qin."
After a while, a familiar bass sounded. I turned around and saw the bearded Jiang Wen walking in. He came up and gave me a hug.
"More than 30 million is my best result since filming. Thank you, Director Qin."
"I just want to thank you." Qin Xiaobao patted him on the back: "This is just the beginning. I believe the result will live up to our efforts."
"you're right!"
Soon, other staff gathered in the room, and the staff at the headquarters held a four-way online meeting.
When the midnight box office comes out, the tone of the promotion will definitely change, and the steps must be unified.
Xiang Yang thinks it will exceed 100 million today, but Liu Minghua said it will definitely exceed 100 million.
The reason is very simple. Currently, there are basically no new movies in theaters across the country. Most of them are empty. Only half of the ten theaters are open, and the audience has no choice at all.
However, the sudden release of "Let the Bullets Fly" changed this situation. The movie theater schedule was at least 50%, and some even reached 60, 70%.
To put it simply, if the audience wants to go see a movie, they basically have to choose one of two, either "Let the Bullets Fly" or something else.
Everyone knows that the prime time for a general movie is about half a month. Unless it is particularly outstanding, the key will be extended.
Obviously, competitors at this time do not have this potential.
The next week will be the day when "Let the Bullets Fly" will be exclusive to theaters, which will indirectly increase the box office of a lot of things that would not otherwise be obtained.
No choice!
You may not be interested in Qin Xiaobao, but if you make an appointment with a girl to go to a movie, you can only watch this.
It can be said that the release of "Let the Bullets Fly" took advantage of the right time, place and people, and it was a very wise decision.
Before, some media felt that the producer had been shot in the head, so how could they even think about raising the profile?
