Has Qin Xiaobao ever thought about what to do if "Let the Bullets Fly" hits the streets?
have!
But not much.
Just like other directors, no one can be sure whether the work will be successful before it is released.
You can buy soft articles and you can buy flattery, but the box office will not deceive people.
In the eyes of most people, box office is the only criterion for measuring the success of a movie.
If you are praised for being a good person, you may gain some fame and respect in the industry, but this is definitely not what the sponsor wants.
As long as a movie doesn't make money, people will naturally be more cautious when investing.
If it doesn't sell well, it's probably a matter of slowing down the pace of publicity, reducing publicity expenses, shutting up amidst the abuse from netizens and audiences, and waiting for the matter to pass.
Qin Xiaobao can't do anything to diss the audience.
Fortunately, the midnight slot gave everyone confidence, including theater owners.
"Let the Bullets Fly" fills the gap left a year ago, giving people who are taking a vacation in advance or preparing to take a vacation a new place to go.
Many theaters have found that the attendance rate on Saturdays has increased significantly. At ten o'clock, not counting the movie-watching period, the attendance rate can actually reach 30%. From eight to ten o'clock in the evening, the attendance rate has reached an astonishing seventy percent.
become.
It can only be said that the audience has needs. As long as the film is good enough, there is no need to worry about no one watching it.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The other eight films that were competitors were dizzy when they saw the midnight block sales exceeding 30 million.
Shit, can you give me a way to survive?
If you had millions, you would still understand and accept it, but thirty million?
Are you sure it's not a joke? It's terrible that temporary filing can have such an effect.
It can be foreseen that the next week will be Qin Xiaobao's one-man show, and no one can stop the speed of "Let the Bullets Fly".
Although the word-of-mouth on the Internet is not sure how much the final box office will be, this week, it is estimated to be 700-800 million, or even more.
There is no doubt that the publicity of "Let the Bullets Fly" is better than other works. It doesn't matter whether they have martial ethics or not, and whether they follow the rules or not, it doesn't matter.
In the world of the movie, the weak eat the strong, and heroes are judged by their results.
Whatever people can do, think of, and dare to execute, they deserve to make money.
It can be said that the marketing strategy of "Let the Bullets Fly" from beginning to end is perfect and difficult to copy.
There is no need to smear the attack at this time, it is meaningless, but it will increase the heat for the opponent.
Yes, being attacked is also heat.
A certain artist surnamed Zhang is living a particularly prosperous life and has received countless job opportunities just because he is a black man on the Internet.
Everything has two sides.
All I can say is that I’m giving it to you this week. Those who want to watch a movie should hurry up and go to the cinema and keep the Spring Festival time to themselves.
However, it is still lagging behind.
The snowball effect of a movie is very terrifying. Once it forms a reputation and momentum, it is basically unstoppable unless a blockbuster film appears to compete with it.
During the Spring Festival, the difference in box office results will be even greater, completely two extremes.
This result greatly increased the confidence of the producers. It can be said that on Saturday, as long as you go online, you can basically see the elements of "Let the Bullets Fly", and the promotion fee is lavished as if it is free.
You can find soft articles praising movies on large portal websites, Weibo, and professional movie websites.
If you didn't know better, you would have thought that Qin Xiaobao had set another record in film history.
The three groups of people were quite popular before. With the official release of the movie, the audience's enthusiasm has increased by several degrees.
With a length of 135 minutes, some content will be missed, and there are also some metaphors in it that cannot be understood by just watching it. When facing the main creator, you can ask questions directly and there will be more common topics.
And "Let the Bullets Fly" did not disappoint,
On the first day Saturday, the box office was 673 million.
The next weekend, the box office was 542 million,
The third day...
On New Year's Eve, the cumulative box office total was 1.97 billion.
This result amazed many people because the real prime time has not yet arrived.
A few days before the Chinese New Year, many people are on their way home, and their vacation has not yet begun.
After a week, "Let the Bullets Fly" still maintains a high score of 8.5 on Douban, with more than 100,000 comments and an 80% positive rating, proving to be a hit.
Some people have even shouted that Qin Xiaobao is about to create a box office history in China, and is expected to reach the top three, or even the first place.
On New Year's Eve, the three teams met in Wuhan.
There were not many people watching the movie today, but everyone still went to two places conscientiously. Everywhere they went, there were crowds of people. Not to mention all kinds of welcomes, they actually received many new year products as gifts.
The crew was not stingy either and prepared hundreds of small red envelopes to distribute to the audience.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, seven tables were packed in a high-end hotel in Wuhan.
At the main table were Qin Xiaobao, his brother, Jiang Wen, Liu Minghua and other leading actors as well as investor representatives. Uncle Ge and several supporting actors were not here and had two days off and would not come back until the third day of the new year.
Generally speaking, supporting actors will follow the crew around all the time unless they really need exposure or are newbies. For example, Hu Ge and Liao Fan don't need to at all.
However, "Let the Bullets Fly" has become a big hit, and if you want to enjoy the benefits it will bring later, you must follow it.
What we are talking about here is not only monetary gains, but also honors and achievements. If we can really break any records, it will be quite beneficial to the actors.
Xiang Yang and the producer were the last to arrive, each carrying a large box in their hands.
The food has not yet been served. Dozens of people are sitting together, cracking melon seeds and chatting. They feel very comfortable.
"Well, everyone, please be quiet!" Xiangyang stood on the chair, and the scene gradually became quiet.
"First of all, I wish you all a happy New Year, all the best, and may you make further progress in the new year!"
Bang bang bang bang!
"Everyone here has worked hard during this period. From south to north, running around day and night. We all see it. Here, I want to say, thank you for your hard work!"
The actors and bosses at the main table stood up at the same time and bowed to the staff to express their gratitude.
"Today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion. You are still working hard for the movie, so we have prepared a New Year's Eve dinner. Let's eat and drink well, and we will not go home until we are drunk!"
"good!"
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang."
"Show strength to the president."
"Is there any red envelope?"
Xiang Yang smiled: "Who said the red envelope? Stand up!"
The employees were not afraid and raised their right hands high.
"You are right, there is a red envelope."
After saying that, the producer next to him opened the box that the two of them had brought. The red envelopes were neatly arranged and their thickness was unusual.
"Let me explain first, this is just a red envelope and has nothing to do with bonus wages and overtime pay."
"Oh oh oh!"
Qin Xiaobao picked one up casually: "Oh, it's not small. Do you want to know how much it is?"
Dozens of people nodded there.
"1,2,3...30!" Qin Xiaobao shook the banknotes in his hand: "Three thousand per person."
