After finding a seat and sitting down, Tong Liya looked around and found that 80% of the seats were empty.
Li Qian was very satisfied, "This is a hall in Wanda. There are about 200 seats in this hall, and there are already thirty or forty people sitting there, which is very good."
Apart from the two press conferences, publicity has not yet started, so it was a bit beyond Li Qian's expectation to have so many people.
After all, "The Call to Fame" had just been released and it was very popular. At least half of the thirty or forty people were diverted from there.
Either there were too many people and I couldn't buy a ticket for a good seat, or I heard other viewers saying how depressing and uncomfortable it was, so they turned to other movies.
For movie theaters in prime locations like Wanda, it is normal to not be able to buy tickets for the Lunar New Year stalls during prime time in the evening.
Last year, when "The City of Gold" was first released, long queues formed in countless movie theaters across the country, just like buying train tickets during the Spring Festival. Many movie theaters had 100% occupancy during prime time in the evening.
After waiting for a minute or two, another twenty or thirty spectators came in one after another, and the attendance rate almost exceeded 30%.
There were less than 70 viewers, which is a pretty good attendance rate for an average movie theater.
After all, most movie theaters across the country are in small halls, with a seating capacity of just over 100 people.
A movie can seat 70 spectators, which is far beyond Li Qian's expectations.
Even if at least half of the people here originally planned to watch "The Call to Action" but did not watch it due to various reasons, watching "Frequency of Life and Death" at least proves that "Frequency of Life and Death" will not be ignored by the audience.
Some movies are like this. Even if the audience doesn't want to see the movie, after entering the cinema, they will simply ignore it and not think about it at all.
Of course, this number is already very low compared to 70 viewers during the Lunar New Year evening prime time period of Wanda's flagship theater in Beijing's CBD area. "The Certificate of Investment" has an attendance rate of at least 80% at this time, even if there are eight people at the same time Every hall is playing the "Report of Vocational Name".
Li Qian also took a look at the age and gender ratio of the audience. There were fewer men than women, and there were also a few parents with children.
Soon it was time, the lights in the cinema were dimmed and the show was about to begin.
Li Qian adjusted his posture and sat back on the chair, ready to watch his movie.
Although I have watched it twice before in the small screening room of the studio, it is a different feeling to be in the cinema with so many audiences around me, and I can receive feedback from the audience in real time.
The screening begins.
After the dragon logo and the opening credits, the big screen burst into flames, and a huge fireball—the sun—appeared in sight.
With the narrator explaining a little, the Northern Lights, which have been rare in decades, appeared in the sky.
The audience who came specifically for this movie were a little surprised. Could it be that this is a science fiction movie?
Soon, the movie told them the answer.
Deng Chao, whose life was unsatisfactory and looked like a decadent young man, contacted his father who died in a fire 20 years ago through an old-fashioned radio.
Changing the past again and again, my father successfully escaped from the fire and rescued the trapped people.
Because of changing the future, the mother who was supposed to be alive in the future died in a serial murder case.
In the end, father and son crossed time and space and worked together to change the fate of themselves and their families, and everyone survived safely.
The heartwarming happy ending is just right for the Lunar New Year atmosphere.
While Li Qian was watching the movie, he was also paying attention to the reactions of the one hundred spectators at the scene.
However, there was no special reaction and they all watched the movie quietly.
The good news is, no one dropped out.
After 90 minutes, the movie ended and Li Qian and Tong Liya left the theater with the audience.
Mixing into the crowd, Li Qian tried to hear some comments from their mouths.
"I didn't expect this movie to be quite good. I was worried it was a horror movie."
"It's really touching, especially when I see the father and son talking face to face on the screen. It makes me sad when I think of the 20 years between them."
"After seeing that my father was suspected of being the murderer of a serial murder case, I was worried that he would die trying to save his wife. Fortunately, the director did not commit Wen Qing's crime in the end."
A man and a woman were chatting about the plot in front. Lu Chao, who was walking behind, couldn't help but interject, "That was not a face-to-face chat, it was two shots, but they were edited into one screen."
The man who spoke looked back at Lu Chao, wondering if this man was sick, but did not speak to him.
Being ignored, Lu Chao closed his mouth angrily, turned around and said to his girlfriend, "I didn't lie to you, this movie is really good. I have watched three of Li Qian's movies now. From today on, I will be his."
A fan."
You fake fan!
Next to me, Li Qian was filled with resentment when he heard this. He only became a fan after watching the third movie.
However, it was rare to meet his fans. Li Qianxiao asked, "Brother, are you familiar with the director of this movie?"
"It's ripe, so ripe."
Lu Chao became interested and chatted with Li Qian with great interest, "Don't you know, the director of this movie has made two Internet movies before, one is "Sniper Phone Booth" and the other is "Jaws"
, both movies are very good, I recommend you to watch them.”
"That's it. Then I'll go back and find out. Did you just say you were a fan of this director?"
"That's right, his first movie just came out, and I was the first to watch it. Later, I waited for "Jaws" within a second. This time, "Frequency of Life and Death" was also the first to be screened in Beijing.
I came here early in the morning to buy tickets, and I can be considered Li Qian’s earliest fan."
The girlfriend next to me was a little strange, "Lu Chao, didn't you buy it when you came in the evening?"
After saying that, his face changed, "Okay, you've been planning to watch this movie for a long time, right? You also said that you would accompany me to watch "Tou Mingzhuang". On the way, he kept saying that others said "Tou Mingzhuang" was too dark and too dark.
It’s depressing, it will make you feel uncomfortable after watching it, it turns out you didn’t want to watch the movie with me at all.”
Lu Chao said quickly, "No, no, I really bought the tickets when I came in the afternoon. Didn't you buy them while watching me?"
Li Qian shook his head. Seeing that they were showing signs of quarreling, he took Tong Liya and left quickly.
Before I had gone far, I seemed to hear a real noise.
Lu Xun once said that a person must be honest and not brag. The ancients were honest and would not be deceived.
However, he actually has fans, and he seems to be a fan who can fool his girlfriend for his movie.
Big fan!
...
At the same time, "Frequency of Life and Death" was screened 60 times in first, second and third tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Yangcheng and Shenzhen.
Guangxian has less than 90 local promoters across the country, and has selected 60 people to be responsible for film copying. Each person is assigned two security guards, all from different security companies.
There are five copies of one copy, and the three people keep them separately throughout the process to minimize accidents.
We can only guarantee 60 screenings every night on weekends for six days. If there are too many, we can’t take care of them.
Six days is 360 shows, which is not a small number of shows. At least it is the largest movie in China.
Although you can visit two or three movie theaters in the same city every night, 360 shows are enough. The more shows, the greater the risk.
It can also create a hunger effect. After word-of-mouth spreads, other viewers who want to see it will not see it, and they will look forward to it even more.
After 60 screenings, Li Qian looked online the next day and found a few audience members mentioning the movie.
After all, even if there are 70 viewers in each show, only 4,200 people have watched the movie in 60 shows. Considering the population base of the country, there is basically no sound.
On the 15th, another 60 screenings were held across the country. Perhaps due to the holiday, and in addition to the fact that 60 screenings were held before, posts about "Frequency of Life and Death" began to appear in several major forums.
There were 60 screenings again on the weekend of the 16th, and 180 screenings in three days. More than 15,000 people watched the movie. In addition, Guangxian's promotion officially started on a large scale yesterday. The first
The trailer was released, posters appeared in major cities, and finally there was more discussion online.
"Have you watched "Frequency of Life and Death"? It was filmed by the director of "Jaws". It's quite good. The ending is so heartwarming."
""Frequency of Life and Death"? I remember this movie, but isn't it released at the end of the month?"
"It's screening, don't you know? We have screened three times in the past three days."
"I'll go, I went to the cinema yesterday, why didn't I see it?"
"It's so good. I was extremely depressed after watching "The Call to Action", and then I watched "Frequency of Life and Death" and I immediately felt better."
"I went, and the person upstairs was like me. I took my son to see something from "The Call to Action". It scared my son to tears, so I took him to the next hall, where "Frequency of Life and Death" was playing.
But it’s a pity that I didn’t see it earlier.”
"Yes, the ending is so heartwarming. I thought it would be a tragic ending at first."
"I strongly recommend everyone to watch it. Don't be fooled by the title. This is actually a healing movie."
"Tell me about the plot. Is it a science fiction movie?"
"That's right, it's science fiction, suspense, and crime."
"Spoiler, Deng Chao plays the son in 2007, and Zhang Hanyu plays the father in 1987. Zhang Hanyu in 2007 died 20 years ago. Deng Chao contacted Zhang Hanyu in 1987 through radio, rescued him, and then rescued him again.
His mother, her mother did not die in 2007, but because she saved his father in 1987, his mother died in 1987. In the end, they were all saved, and the serial murderer was killed."
"I'll go, brother, you are just talking about tongue twisters, this spoiler is not up to standard."
"The math teacher in the elementary school upstairs probably teaches Chinese. I can't even explain this simple logic."
...
The following Monday, although there was no screening, the small-scale discussion about "Frequency of Life and Death" was still going on.
Moreover, Li Qian led the crew to record a program on Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations, which was also launched. All other promotions followed suit, and "Frequency of Life and Death" began to slowly gain some popularity.
It just so happened that some dissatisfied voices began to appear in "Tou Ming Zheng", and there were a lot of negative comments on the Internet, which also provided "Life and Death Frequency" with room for growth.
On Monday, a piece of news with the title "After watching "The Letter of Voting", then watching "Frequency of Life and Death" to cure your depressed mood!" came into the public eye.
Bundle marketing is always the most brutal and effective way.
As the most popular movie at the moment, "Report of the Proposal", news that belittles the other party and exalts oneself, is certainly a selling point.
The content of the news is probably that the film critic was too depressed after watching "The Call to Action" and felt so uncomfortable after watching it, so he accidentally watched "Frequency of Life and Death" and was moved.
As a professional film critic who relies on his pen for a living, the news he writes is truly heartfelt.
Moreover, the "Notice of Investment" is indeed depressing. This is a fact. This news has also been recognized by some viewers. Seeing that it has a selling point, many media have translated the news into Chinese in their own words and distributed it.
Conflict is the best selling point.
Soon other viewers, especially those who watched "The Call to Action", were also curious about what kind of movie "Frequency of Life and Death" was.
After all, many of them also feel that the movie is indeed depressing. When they watch the news on this basis, they will unconsciously agree with other views of the news.
However, there are no screenings on weekdays, so you can’t watch it even if you want to.
Wang Changtian made a prompt decision and temporarily added 60 screenings on Monday night, and one day later, 60 screenings were also scheduled for Wednesday.
On Thursday, after another 180 screenings, the reputation of "Frequency of Life and Death" began to spread, and more and more media began to report it.
Although the exposure is far less than that of "The Certificate of Voting", at least it has a place in the Lunar New Year festival.
"The most healing emotional movie of the year, "Frequency of Life and Death" shows the love between father and son between life and death!"
""Declaration of Prosecution" made you depressed? Then you should watch "Frequency of Life and Death"!"
"The movie "Frequency of Life and Death" has received a huge reputation. Zhang Hanyu and Deng Chao are deeply in love with their father and son!"
"A dialogue between father and son that spans time and space, two families save themselves!"
