After the movie screening ended, bursts of applause began to erupt in the theater.
At first, the applause was scattered, but everyone followed the crowd, and the movie was really beautiful and very touching.
Slowly, the applause of hundreds or more than two hundred people gathered together, like a torrent, filling the huge IAX screening hall.
"It's so touching and the ending is so wonderful!"
“It’s so nice to have my parents by my side, so touching!”
"I feel so much. It's such a hard time for a family to be reunited!"
"The end was so heartwarming! Oh my god!"
“I actually cried watching it!”
Subtitles appeared on the big screen, accompanied by soothing music, and the audience was still immersed in the tender scenes of the last scene of the movie.
Faced with a good movie, the audience will naturally not be stingy with applause.
Li Qian felt relieved as he listened to the flood of applause from the nearly 300 spectators.
More than 300 spectators at the scene spontaneously applauded, which was enough to prove their satisfaction with the movie.
When I watched the first screening before, after watching the movie, the audience just felt a little emotional about the plot of the movie and left.
After all, it is just a click-through, and movies are not interactive like dramas or music.
For performances such as dramas and cross talk, it is basically normal to applaud after the performance, and it would be strange not to applaud.
If the movie is shown normally, there will basically be no such general applause.
However, premiere ceremonies and road shows are different. The director and actors are all there, and the audience thinks it looks good, so they will usually give it face.
If you give face to the audience, they will naturally give you the feedback you deserve.
Applause is the best feedback from the audience!
Li Qian also returned to the stage with the actors, thanked the audience, had a brief interaction with the audience, and randomly interviewed a few reporters.
I was also asked about my final prediction for the Lunar New Year movie, as well as my box office expectations for my film "Frequency of Life and Death".
"The box office results between "The Proposal" and "Assembly", I won't say that this won't count, let the audience make the choice."
There is no need to touch things, and if you want to touch things, you shouldn't touch things as a director. This is the job that the media should do.
As for box office expectations, Li Qian is no longer low-key.
"As for my expectations for "Frequency of Life and Death", I personally hope that the higher the better. If it can exceed 100 million, of course it would be even better."
Wow
He stated his goal of over 100 million box office in such a straightforward manner without any mincing words, which caught all the media and industry insiders off guard except for the audience.
How dare you say it!
Wang Changtian smiled bitterly. As expected of Li Qian, he was so confident in just a few contacts. It could even be said that he was so confident that he was arrogant.
Even he has great expectations for "Frequency of Life and Death", but even now, he has never thought about the box office exceeding 100 million, not even once.
Once these words are published, they will inevitably be criticized. As the publicizer, Guangxian will be very busy.
Not only Wang Changtian, but also the two big guys in the film industry, Yu Dong and Huang Zhongjun, looked astonished no matter how calm they were.
Especially Huang Zhongjun. Ma Xiaogang in the company is already crazy enough. In addition, Li Qian didn't give any face to Huang Zhonglei last time and rejected Huang Zhonglei outright. He thought he understood Li Qian's character.
I thought that Li Qian was crazy enough before, but I didn't expect that the first theatrical movie would directly reach the goal of over 100 million in box office.
Young people don’t know how to be low-key at all!
The reporters on the scene were naturally even more excited.
Such a young director who knows nothing about the sky and the earth just provides them with news material.
A reporter asked unceremoniously, "Director Li, what gives you the confidence to have a box office of over 100 million?"
"The applause from the audience just now is my best source of confidence!"
"Director Li"
Some reporters wanted to continue asking questions, but that was about it. Li Qian left the scene before he could say anything.
After the premiere ceremony ended and he met Wang Changtian, he complained a lot.
"Director Li, if the box office exceeds 100 million, we have to wait until a few days after it is released."
Bragging is okay, but the time to brag must be chosen well.
Blockbusters such as "Assembly" and "Report" are still so impressive that they break the box office record of Chinese-language films.
Although Li Qian is a newcomer to the big screen, he is somewhat famous on the Internet for his two Internet movies, especially "Jaws", which can be called a phenomenon-level Internet movie.
As the reputation of "Frequency of Life and Death" spreads, this fame + high quality of the film + adequate publicity + matching the schedule can be transformed into a certain box office appeal.
However, the movie doesn't start showing at midnight until after 12 o'clock, and it will be officially released tomorrow morning. I'm going to blow the whistle right now, but there's no data to back it up.
The lineup of three superstars in "The Investment Certificate", coupled with the ultra-high investment, and Ma Xiaogang's reputation in "Assembly" are the most powerful support for their bragging.
Even if people in the industry, the audience, and the media know that they are bragging, they at least have the capital to brag.
But as for Li Qian, he has to wait until it has been released for two days, the box office is good, and the reputation has exploded after it has been released on a large scale before he promotes it.
"Dr. Wang."
Li Qian smiled and shook his head, "I understand what you mean, but if you don't have confidence in yourself, how can the audience believe in our movie?"
This is actually similar to buying things. For the same thing but different brands, if the brand is more expensive, you will subconsciously think that the quality is better than the cheaper one.
Otherwise, those blockbusters would always brag about breaking records and use the media to build momentum, just to get the audience to agree with them and make them curious about what kind of movie can break the box office record.
What's more, the reputation of "Frequency of Life and Death" has begun to spread, and the response from the premiere was very good, which is also a strong support for Li Qian's reputation.
"What's more, having a box office of over 100 million is not necessarily bragging!" Li Qian added.
The schedule is good, there are films scheduled, the audience is wide, the quality is high, the reputation is good, all the favorable conditions are combined, there is nothing else I dare not say.
The last thing the film and television industry needs is a low profile!
Unless the ability is not enough!
Seeing that Li Qian didn't seem to be joking when he said this, Wang Changtian found that his understanding of Li Qian was about to be refreshed again.
This is more than just conceited. In the entire industry, Zhang Weiping is probably the only one who is crazier than Li Qian.
But the bullshit has been blown out, so we can only prepare to deal with it. At the very least, it will be counterproductive to make the audience not disgusted.
If you want to get tens of millions, seventy, eighty, or even hundreds of millions at the box office, it’s not a big deal. But if an ordinary director keeps talking about surpassing Ma Xiaogang, Cheng Kaige, and Zhang Yimou, then the audience’s first impression will not be good, and they will only think that you are
Spread money and deliberately speculate.
It's getting late, so after dealing with the guests present, we are ready to go back to our respective homes.
"Let's go, Yaya, I'm tired after a busy night."
After returning to Li Qian's house, Tong Liya couldn't help but said, "Do you really want the box office to exceed 100 million?"
"Of course I have. What director wouldn't?" Li Qian shrugged and said matter-of-factly.
"No, I mean are you sure?"
Tong Liya was a little worried. If she said something big and didn't do it, she would inevitably face all kinds of ridicule.
"Do not worry."
Li Qian smiled and held her in his arms, "The follow-up to "The Call to Action" is weak. "Assembly" has been released for ten days. We have plenty of room for survival. The only significant movie in January is "Yangtze River".
"Seven" won't be released until one month, so the entire January schedule is ours."
"Besides, my two online movies have also accumulated a bit of popularity. As long as the films are good enough and word-of-mouth spreads, there will definitely be many more than 5 million viewers who have watched my online movies and are willing to go to the cinema."
"Taking a step back, a movie of mine with a cost of 10 million, even if it doesn't break 100 million, only sells 50 to 60 million at the box office, it is a big hit. Don't worry about this, otherwise "Vote", "Assembly"
"It will definitely not be able to break the record of "The Golden Armor", and if they can't live up to their boasts, will anyone still ridicule them?"
Although she was still a little worried, Tong Liya saw how confident he looked and she was also full of confidence in him.
"If the box office really exceeds 100 million, then you will be a great director."
"You know how good I am, you're a little actor, why don't you try to curry favor with me, a future great director?"
Tong Liya glanced at Li Qian with her beautiful eyes, put her hands around Li Qian's neck, and asked with a charming smile.
"Then how does Director Li want me to curry favor?"
"Ahem, be more serious."
In the past half month, I traveled to several cities. Apart from sleeping, most of the time was either in the car or on the plane, or doing promotions.
And when sleeping, I don't get enough rest.
Next, there will be at least more than half a month of promotion, and I have to travel to several cities, which is not much easier than filming.
Tong Liya, however, refused to give up and said softly, "Director Li, you haven't said yet, how do you want people to curry favor with you?"
After a few days without shame, Tong Liya also lost her girlish innocence.
Although her body is still a bit thin, she also has more charm.
Director Li Da felt that it was necessary to maintain his status as a man, so he pulled Tong Liya into the room and gave her a good education.
At a quarter past twelve in the evening, Li Qian picked up the mobile phone on the bedside and received a message from Zhang Zhao on time.
The tickets for the midnight show were all sold out half an hour ago. In the past half hour, each theater chain also collected the data for the midnight show and gave it to Guangxian.
There are almost 500 zero-hour shows nationwide, both film and digital, with an attendance rate of 50.
"Frequency of Life and Death" also has a suspenseful tone. Zero Point Field has always been exclusive to horror and suspense, and it's not bad at all.
There were 500 late-night shows, with a total box office of more than 900,000 yuan.
Including the 1.9 million that had been screened before, the movie had already received 2.8 million at the box office before it was released.
It was a good start. As for other news, Li Qian didn't have the energy to read it.
After all, it's twelve o'clock in the evening. It's so late, I'm tired, and I still have work tomorrow.
There won’t be anything new in the news. I’ll read it when I get up tomorrow morning.
