Chapter 289 Box Office Breaks 250 Million on the First Day, Douhua Scores 8.2
In the movie theater, the theme song "Deepness" from the movie "Wulin Gaiden" comes to mind.
"I looked up at the sky with clouds
There is rain hidden deep in the clouds
The gentle touch of my fingertips turns into tears
The rainbow drifts brighter after the rain
The crisp sound of the bamboo flute floats over
…
Acquaintance without regrets or tears
love is still pure
Troubled thoughts suddenly come to mind
There is a beam of light calling for happiness to flow
You have eternal power by my side
…”
Regarding the theme song of "Wulin Gaiden", Zuo Le himself struggled for a long time.
Whether it's the TV series "The Heroes" or the original movie "The Depths", they are both particularly good songs.
He hesitated for a long time and finally chose "The Deep", and he did not give up on "Xia Ke Xing". In the plot, he used the scholar's mouth to hum a few lines, which was regarded as a guest appearance.
The reason why Zuo Le chose "Deepness" is that it is euphemistic and long, which can easily evoke melancholy in people's hearts.
As expected, the audience, who were already feeling empty at the end of the movie, could no longer hold back their emotions as soon as the song started playing, and many emotional audience members burst into tears directly in the theater.
In fact, "Xia Ke Xing" can also do this, and even with the bonus of emotions, it might even be even better.
However, Zuo Le believes that TV series and movies cannot be completely confused after all, and the effect of "The Deep" is not bad, so he can simply let it go.
Generally, when the plot of a movie is over, most people will choose to leave directly, but this time in the movie "Wulin Gaiden",
Except for a few scattered ones, 99% of the audience sat and listened to "The Deep" before slowly getting up and walking out of the theater.
I wrote this down at one and a half, then put away my little notebook and left.
Over there, Han Jun also pulled Liu Qingqing, whose eyes were red after crying, towards the door of the theater.
Coming from the entrance of the theater, it was almost 10 o'clock. According to the original plan, Han Jun planned to take Liu Qingqing to have a supper and then wait for the opportunity.
However, after watching the movie, he felt so sad that he really couldn't muster the interest to implement his plan.
The same goes for Liu Qingqing. As a die-hard fan of "Wulin Gaiden", she was hit even harder than Han Jun.
Even if Han Jun doesn't give up, her current condition is enough to allow him to succeed.
Finally, Han Jun called a car and took Liu Qingqing to his residence safely, and then returned to his home.
On the way, he had calmed down a lot and was in the mood to turn on his mobile phone and read online comments about the movie "Wulin Gaiden".
Before that, he took a look at the movie box office data. As of fifteen minutes ago, the box office of "Wulin Gaiden" on the first day had reached 59.81 million, and was about to exceed the 60 million mark.
If the pre-sale box office of 179.38 million is included, the box office of "Wulin Gaiden" has reached 239.19 million.
This box office is not very high, but it is not low either.
Generally, the release cycle of a movie is roughly 30 days. Once the 30 days are over, the movie will basically be cancelled. Only a very small number of movies with particularly outstanding results will be approved to extend the release time.
This situation is rare, usually only a few films a year, or even lower.
In addition, not all movies can sustain this 30-day release cycle.
Many films that fail to perform well are sometimes forced to be withdrawn in two weeks, or even a week, or just a few days.
Theater chains and movie theaters have to make money, and the market is only so big. The most taboo thing is to occupy the pit and not shit. If you don't make money, get out and give up the ranking to those movies that make money.
Therefore, to see whether a commercial movie will be a hit or not, whether its release cycle can last for 30 days is one of the arguments.
If a commercial movie doesn't survive a 30-day release cycle, it's bound to be a flop and lose money.
Let's talk about this 30-day movie release period, the box office growth data is regular.
For normal movies, when the ranking ratio can be guaranteed, the best period for box office harvest is often the first week.
If the quality of the movie has strong staying power, the box office decline may not be high in the second week, but if the quality has average staying power, then the box office will plummet from the second week onwards.
Therefore, the first week of a movie's release is considered the golden period, and the second period can barely be counted as the silver period.
Starting from the third week, the movie box office will enter a period of exhaustion, and the growth will be obviously slow. Some movies' box office growth at the end of the period can even be ignored.
Of course, again, this is a rule to ensure the ratio of normal movies in the ranking, and it does not represent all movies.
Some perverted movies have box office staying power that lasts from the first day to the end, completely ignoring market rules.
There are also legendary dramas where the box office explodes at the beginning, then the reputation collapses, the early stage is tepid, and then a dark horse suddenly makes a comeback. This happens two or three times every year and cannot be generalized.
However, judging from the data in the past few days, "Wulin Gaiden" does not seem to deviate from the category of normal movies, and it can still be estimated based on this rule.
Han Jun saw a self-media article predicting the box office of the movie "Wulin Gaiden", which was roughly around 1 billion.
There are several comments under the article.
Some people say that the editor has overestimated. This kind of theatrical version of the movie gained momentum in the early stage because of the fans' support. Once the fans watch it, the box office increase will be immediately reduced to its original value. 600 to 700 million is enough to support the sky.
There is also someone who said that the editor's estimate was low. He claimed that he had seen the movie and the quality was pretty good. He was more optimistic that the box office was expected to exceed 2 billion.
After reading the comments, Han Jun analyzed it himself and felt that 2 billion was a bit exaggerated, and the editor's estimate of 1 billion was a bit low.
He feels that the box office of "Wulin Gaiden" can be maintained at around 1.3 to 1.6 billion.
After watching the box office, he went to Douhua again, intending to check the ratings of the movie "Wulin Gaiden".
After clicking in and searching, Notre Dame's 8.2 points came into his sight.
At first, Han Jun thought he was wrong. The TV series "Wulin Gaiden" was rated 9.6, but now the movie is so low.
In fact, it’s not too low. Douhua users’ rating standards for domestic movies are much stricter than those for domestic TV series.
Domestic TV dramas almost always have at least one 9-point masterpiece every year, while domestic movies sometimes may not get a 9-point or above for several years.
Douhua’s 9-point domestic film, any one of it is a famous classic, and can preserve the existence of China’s and even the world’s film history.
Countless Douhua users, who are known as movie lovers and amateur film critics, will rate movies with extremely critical eyes, especially domestic movies.
Some domestic films that can even reach the 9-point requirement can only end up with 8.8 or 8.7 points because of their almost harsh scoring.
Because of this, directors often criticize Douhua, and disputes caused by "unfair" scoring occur dozens of times every year.
The movie "Wulin Gaiden" started with a score of 8.2, which should be considered good in a strict sense, and may even be borrowed from the TV series.
Han Jun's disapproval was just because the TV series' performance was so good that he instinctively looked forward to the movie.
Moreover, he also ignored one point. The movie has just been released, many people have not watched it, and the number of people who have rated it is less than 1,000. When the movie is released for a long time, or downloaded to the video website, the movie rating may increase.
Han Jun mainly looked at the reviews and found that overall it was pretty good, with mostly positive reviews, especially for the easter eggs.
Many people directly stated that they would give three stars for the main storyline and two stars for the easter eggs.
Han Jun gave the movie five stars, thought about it, and sent a Fetion letter to Liu Qingqing.
"I want to watch the movie again. Are you free tomorrow?"
Two minutes later, Liu Qingqing replied to him.
"I've booked the tickets and I'll make an appointment with you tomorrow."
Han Jun clapped his hands excitedly, watched the movie again, and made up for the unimplemented plans today, getting the best of both worlds.
At 12 o'clock that night, the box office of "Wulin Gaiden" on the first day totaled 71 million. If the pre-sale box office is included, it was 250.38 million.
