After the trailer of "Jaws" went online, some viewers who had been waiting for it for a long time were outraged.
Although the film market is getting bigger year by year these days, after all, it has just been marketed for a few years. There are only so many films released in a year, and evenly divided into a month, it is not much.
Online movies have filled the gap of a small number of movies. Audiences can basically watch several online movies on their computers every day, and they won’t watch the same movies all year round.
However, there are too few online platforms where you can watch it, and there are even less high-quality movies like "Sniper Phone Booth".
I finally waited for Li Qian's new movie to be released online, but at first there was only a poster.
Forgetting that there was only a poster, I ended up waiting for another two days for the trailer.
But there was nothing in the trailer, not even the protagonist Shark appeared.
Every time when the shark is about to come out, the atmosphere is in place, and then it's over.
Can you not be angry?
You’ve done enough foreplay, don’t let me in!
Can you enjoy it?
Li Qian also took a look at the audience's reaction and didn't pay attention to their complaints.
It is a thriller movie in itself. Without the word "shock", it loses its essence and becomes a mediocre horror movie.
Unlike some movies, the most exciting scenes are cut into trailers for early promotion and attracting audiences.
There are even some movies where a few trailers are the essence of the whole movie. If you go to see the full movie, you will be disappointed.
But it was all to arouse the audience's interest. Although the trailer of "Jaws" did not even feature the protagonist shark, it attracted many viewers' complaints.
But it also aroused the audience's inner interest more and more, making them more curious about the movie.
With the promotion of "Jaws" on the movie category page, the popularity is growing day by day.
On Wednesday the 27th, at 8pm, "Taoist Master: Killing the Shark" was officially launched on Tomato Video.
As the sequel to "The Master", coupled with the attention of Tomato Video, the promotion efforts are not small. From 8pm to 12pm on the first day it was launched, it also took in more than 300,000 box office. This is because the second part
It has a bad reputation and it’s a working day.
On Thursday, some posts discussing the movie appeared in the Galaxy Video "Jaws" discussion area.
Sharks also appeared, and it was Maoshan Taoism vs. Sharks, which immediately attracted another group of viewers.
The next day it took in more than RMB 600,000 in box office, and the total box office in the two days was close to one million.
This data is outstanding enough for any Internet major, not to mention it was obtained on a working day.
However, Mr. Wang felt a little dissatisfied.
"Director Xu, the box office only reached 1 million in two days. The big online box office is concentrated in the first half of the month. Looking at it this way, it's a little bit unbelievable that the total box office will exceed 1 million."
Originally, based on his expectations, this movie would have grossed over 10 million yuan at the box office.
After all, the first two parts of "The Master Goes Down the Mountain" had a box office of 8 million, and this third one also took advantage of Li Qian's popularity and replaced the zombies with sharks. How to make a box office of 10 million is not a problem.
It has only taken two days to break one million. According to what he has recently learned about the box office trends of online majors, it seems that it is not that easy to break 10 million.
Xu Tao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, it's a working day now, and the weekend will be when the box office explodes."
"Besides, the box office yesterday was up a lot compared to the day before yesterday. Compared with the "promotion" given to us by Li Qian, it worked and attracted some viewers to us."
According to normal rules, if we get 300,000 yuan in four hours on Wednesday night, the box office on Thursday should be between 450,000 and 500,000 yuan.
Although Thursday is a full day, the night is the main focus after all, and it is a working day, so it cannot be compared with Saturday and Sunday.
But now the box office is 100,000 higher than expected. This is the bonus of the "publicity" Li Qian gave them.
How could Xu Tao be unhappy with the 20% bonus?
After listening to Xu Tao's explanation, Mr. Wang thought it was the same and felt relieved.
However, let’s talk about the audience’s response to this movie.
"But, I watched it last night, and it seemed that some viewers wanted to watch zombies more than sharks."
"Don't take this to heart."
Xu Tao said unfazed, "Since the first film, a lot of zombie movies have followed suit. During the second film, a large group of viewers said they were tired of watching zombie movies."
Originally, he was worried that the proliferation of zombie movies would cause the audience to be disgusted and not plan to make a third part. It was Mr. Wang who came to him and he thought of changing the zombies to sharks and continuing to make the third part.
Maoshan Taoism versus the big shark is definitely more attractive than the zombies that have been beaten to pieces!
After Li Qian's "Jaws" is released, their movie will definitely take advantage of the east wind again, and the box office will soar. Millions of dollars will not be a problem!
With everyone's expectations, "Jaws" was finally officially launched on Galaxy Video at 8pm on June 29th.
Galaxy Video's homepage, right above it, the best promotional position on the entire website, also has a poster of "Jaws".
After several days of warm-up, many long-awaited audiences were waiting in front of their computers early.
At eight o'clock, viewers from all over the country clicked their mouse to enter the play page of "Jaws".
"I want to see when the shark comes out this time!"
In a certain university dormitory, Lu Chao came back from the library, half an hour late, and did not appear in front of the computer until 8:30.
Originally, he was not going to watch the trailer because it was a joke.
"If the library hadn't been too boring, I wouldn't have watched this crappy movie!"
Lu Chao thought to himself rather unhappily.
"I'd like to see it, like "Sniper Phone Booth", where the shark doesn't appear until the last few minutes."
Since it was half an hour late, there were already some extra barrages at the beginning of the movie.
"I'm coming!"
"Insert the eyes, I don't know if it's scary or not, but I came here after eating."
"They're all on time. Look how many people there will be in six minutes!"
"I just scrolled to the end and watched the last two minutes. Let me tell you, there are no sharks in front of you."
"That's right, the sharks came out last and dispersed."
Could it be that the shark really came out last?
Lu Chao frowned.
But snipers can still kill people in the dark even if they don't appear. How can they kill people remotely if the shark doesn't appear?
Is it possible that after becoming a spirit, he can also use magic?
After thinking wildly for a while, Lu Chao rejected the idea.
You can’t believe a word of what these troll netizens say, they must be intentional.
"There are no sharks ahead, they are gone!"
I followed the trend and posted a barrage, and continued watching the movie seriously.
The opening is the same as in the trailer. It's dark in the evening and a group of young people are gathering at the beach.
Beer, barbecue, bonfire, so lively.
There was also a couple of doggy men and women who were flirting with each other, sneaking to the other side and getting tired of each other.
The two were chasing and quarreling on the beach. The girl went into the water and slowly swam away.
The camera turned to underwater, and the girl was still swimming in the sea.
At this time, there were suddenly more barrages.
"I'm coming!"
"I'm going to die, I'm going to kill this woman!"
"The shark is coming, please close your eyes if you are timid!"
"Get one blood at the beginning!"
"Barrage protection, turn up the brightness!"
"The shark is ready for dinner!"
,
The shark just came out?
impossible!
"Again!"
Lu Chao shook his head and remembered that in "Sniper Phone Booth", when the little follower appeared, a group of people labeled him as the murderer on the barrage.
After the appearance of the takeaway delivery boy, the same thing happened, which disturbed his thinking and guessed the wrong murderer.
It is impossible to be interfered by these troll netizens this time.
Besides, given the director’s idiosyncrasy, it’s impossible for the shark to appear within five minutes of the beginning, even if it doesn’t appear until the end like in “Sniper Phone Booth”.
unreasonable!
Lu Chao smiled disdainfully, thinking he had seen through the intentions of the troll netizens.
However, the next second!
The girl swimming in the sea suddenly sank, as if she was pulled hard by something.
Immediately afterwards, the whole person was dragged into the water.
Lu Chao stuck his head in front of the screen and his eyes widened.
what's the situation?
