"Ma Qingyang is cheating. Lao Zhi specially got a 50-yuan haircut, changed into new clothes, and put on perfume, and then there was an aunt next to him!"
"I was fooled too. I bought so many things because I thought she was a good-looking girl."
"After all, there is a woman next to you. Next to me is a fat otaku. Fat otaku, you know that! I spent the whole two hours there eating popcorn. I ate the big bucket of popcorn by myself. It made me watch a movie.
I can’t stand it anymore.”
"I was lucky. There was a young lady next to me, and she wanted to treat me to some popcorn, but I'm never distracted when watching movies, so I refused, hahahahahaha..."
"Look at how happy the brothers upstairs are smiling, I'm envious."
"Single people are all obsessed with it. If you hope to meet good-looking girls in the cinema, why not go to a dance show? There are a lot of girls in there."
"Don't go, Xuanwu is a trap. I have three wives in Xuanwu, but only one is a girl. She's still a tough guy. She's a loser."
"Some people are really daydreaming. I was watching a free movie, but there was a girl next to me, but I didn't strike up a conversation."
"Singles, wake up. If you dare to strike up a conversation with a stranger in a movie theater, you won't be single."
"Haha, it's so fun. I specially registered a Taomao account. I chose female as my gender and drew a ticket. At the Da Guangming Cinema next to the Huangpu Children's Art Theatre, the guy next to me turned green when he saw me."
"Damn it, that man next to me is you, seat 5 in row 7?"
"No way, it's such a coincidence..."
"You two are so destined, why don't you just get together?"
"Together with!"
...
"Hahaha..."
In the evening, Tong Liya returned home after a day of promotions and read the comments from online viewers. She couldn't help but lean forward with joy.
"This is so fun, did you go today?" Tong Liya asked Li Qian. She also bought some things on Taomao early this morning and drew a prize by the way. She actually won the draw, so she gave the ticket to
Li Qian is gone.
Li Qian shook his head, "No, it's not good to rest at home at that time. I'll be busy soon."
"Why don't you go?" Tong Liya felt a little pity, "It's quite fun. Think about the fact that there is someone waiting for you in the cinema. How sad he would be if he didn't go."
"Fun..."
The corner of Li Qian's mouth twitched, "No one is going, at most some will be disappointed. If I go, it will be a shock, and they might treat me as a pervert."
"Haha, it's funny when I think of that scene, but Taomao will only do this activity today, otherwise it will be lively."
Tong Liya felt a little pity, but after seeing many negative comments about the movie on the Internet, she became angry again.
"It's been a week, why are you still going on? They don't want money!"
"People's declared income is five times that of ours. If you have money, you will be willful."
From the 7th to now, five days later, these negative comments have not stopped, and have even gradually increased. This shows that Bernard and Starlight International are afraid of "Cohabitation in Time and Space".
To be precise, it is the fear of Li Qian. Without Li Qian, no one would pay attention to such a three-no movie.
"It will be better tomorrow. If there are more viewers who have watched the movie, there will be more positive reviews. After all, the negative reviews and trolls they spend money to buy are limited, and it is impossible to spend most of the publicity expenses on us.
"
After some consolation, Li Qian stood up and yawned. He looked at the time and saw that it was already 11:30.
"It's getting late, go to sleep, you still have tasks tomorrow."
"I don't want it, I want to wait until the box office comes out."
Although she is a little sleepy, as she plays the heroine for the second time, she is still a heroine with a heavy role. Tong Liya will never go anywhere unless she sees it at the box office.
What can we do? Li Qian can just wait for the box office together.
Nearly fifty minutes later, almost half past twelve, Li Qian received the data from the issuing company.
"How much, let me see quickly."
Before Li Qian even clicked on the email, Tong Liya came over impatiently.
When I saw the numbers above, I couldn't help but exclaim.
"Wow, 11 million!"
A new director and an actor who has just debuted, a low-budget science fiction comedy-romance film actually sold 11 million on the first day.
Even if there is no opponent in the same period, the film schedule is as high as 60%.
The box office in a single day exceeded 10 million, which is amazing.
This number was unexpected by Li Qian, but it was also reasonable.
There is no doubt that the three films he produced in the past have made many viewers choose to believe in Li Qian unconditionally.
"The box office is out too, let's go to bed."
"But I can't sleep again."
Seeing the high box office of 11 million on the first day, Tong Liya, who was still a little tired, immediately felt no longer tired, and even faintly excited.
"Now, depending on how they scold me, there is a lot of hope for a box office of 100 million yuan. I will soon be the heroine of a box office of 100 million yuan!"
...
Compared to Tong Liya's excitement, some people felt uncomfortable.
Yu Dong looked at the data in front of him, as if he had eaten a fly.
11 million on the first day. It is inevitable that this figure will exceed 100 million. It is completely different from what Yu Dong thought before.
A small-budget love comedy could sell the first-day box office that only a blockbuster can achieve, which made Yu Dong feel a little dazed. He once thought that there was something wrong with the data.
Li Qian’s box office appeal is too terrifying!
He is not a fool. With such a three-dimensional lineup and such a small scale of publicity, the first-day box office was 100% due to Li Qian's fame.
There are still so many negative reviews, otherwise, the box office on the first day might have been even higher.
This is so scary. The role of one director is comparable to that of several famous directors.
Just as I was thinking about it, Zhang Hao, who was in charge of publicity and marketing, called me to ask for instructions whether to continue negative marketing of "Cohabitation in Time and Space".
"Let's continue until the end of this week, and we'll see what happens later."
It definitely can't stop. It grossed 11 million on the first day. If there weren't those negative reviews, with the current reputation, the box office would still be good.
Besides, it was only the first day, and most of the audience were there for Li Qian, so it would be hard to tell later.
However, Li Qian is too scary. He can easily supervise a movie and it will become a hit. One person can be used as several famous directors.
Thinking of this, Yu Dong felt a little anxious.
A great director's reputation is so valuable, what if he followed suit?
Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaogang are both directors with the most box-office appeal in the Mainland. Even if they are not as good as Li Qian, they are certainly not far behind.
I secretly have an idea in my mind, but the most important thing right now is the upcoming "Mulan".
An investment of 80 million is not a small amount. Even if the main investor is Starlight International and Bernard is only the second investor, it is not a small amount.
Now we can only hope that their negative marketing will be effective, otherwise the pressure for "Mulan" to be released a week later will be too great.
...
At the same time, Zhao Wei also learned yesterday’s box office information.
11 million on the first day, everyone knows what this means, basically breaking 100 million is stable.
She never expected that such a three-no movie could sell such a box office.
The summer comedy "Nightclub", which was also produced by Li Qian and had a good reputation, was far from this box office.
This is too outrageous!
Zhao Wei couldn't understand it at all.
However, a big hit is a foregone conclusion, and "Mulan" will face a strong rival.
However, Zhao Wei still has absolute confidence in "Mulan".
I held a few viewing parties and received almost unanimous praise.
Moreover, "Painted Skin" starring Chen Kun and Zhou Xun sold well over 200 million yuan, and this time it was Chen Kun who was partnered again.
I will definitely be able to withstand the pressure and continue to sell well at the box office!
...
Not only the investors, distributors and actors of "Mulan" are paying attention to "Living Together", almost the entire film industry was stunned by the first-day box office of 11 million.
There is only one and a half months left in 2009. In the past year, only five or six films have exceeded this figure on their first day at the box office.
too crazy!
But the craziness continued. After 11 million on the first day, as hundreds of thousands of viewers watched the movie, positive reviews began to prevail on the second day of release.
However, because it was a Thursday working day, the box office did not increase much compared to Singles' Day, only 12.1 million.
On Friday the 13th, the Hollywood blockbuster "2012" was also released in domestic theaters. It grossed 20 million yuan at the box office on the first day, throwing a blockbuster into the mediocre movie market.
As a popular Hollywood blockbuster, "2012" received 45% of the film schedule upon its release, even under the pressure of more than 30 million in "Cohabitation" in two days.
On the third day after "Cohabitation" was released, the film schedule dropped sharply from 65% to 40%, leaving basically no room for other films to survive.
However, the 13th is a Friday and the weekend is approaching. Although the film schedule has been reduced, the box office has still increased significantly, with a single-day revenue of 13.7 million.
40% of the film schedule is enough, and the attendance rate has also increased significantly.
In the following two weekends, "2012" received an astonishing box office of 51 million yuan, and the three-day box office of the first weekend was as high as 71 million.
And "Cohabitation in Time and Space" received a total of 30.9 million on the two days off, and the box office in the first five days was as high as 67.7 million!
The two newly released movies directly set the domestic film market on fire, starting the Lunar New Year war in advance, and all the movies in the same period became cannon fodder.
In the second week, all the newly released movies were reduced to cannon fodder under the pressure of two blockbusters.
On November 19, the new film "Panda Heroes" by Wang Yuelun, director of last year's dark horse "Nine Beauties", was released. The box office on the first day exceeded one million.
The comedy "Mars Is All Right" directed by Liu Yiwei and starring Huang Lei was even worse, with only 700,000 box office receipts on the first day.
This is pretty good, and there are still three movies that will bring in tens of thousands of dollars at the box office.
From Monday to Thursday, "2012" took in 70 million box office in four days, with an average of more than 15 million every day. It has a good reputation and a very stable trend.
As for "Cohabitation in Time and Space", after a week of release, there are not many negative reviews on the Internet, and they are all covered by praises that fill the screen.
For domestic romance films, "Cohabitation in Time and Space" is completely groundbreaking. In terms of its core and emotional lines, it is completely different from previous romance films.
In the four working days from Monday to Thursday, "Cohabitation in Time and Space" also scored a high box office of 32.9 million.
After nine days of release, the total box office successfully exceeded 100 million, reaching 100.6 million.
Halfway through November, two movies have exceeded 100 million yuan, and they have only been released for a few days. This box office data is comparable to the most popular period of the Lunar New Year in previous years.
This situation was unexpected by everyone in the industry. The popularity of "2012" even caught up with the summer release of "Transformers 2".
As for "Living Together", even if it was produced by Li Qian, even if it was well-received, even if it exceeded 10 million on the first day, it was unexpected by everyone.
The popularity of these two movies shocked the entire industry.
