Chapter 575 The box office broke 200 million on the first day!
The next day.
The hot search topics on WeChat were still those from last night. Many people who got up early to go to work scrolled through WeChat and saw the information about "Buried Alive".
The box office at Zero Point is 20.58 million, which is really fierce!
The popularity of "Buried Alive" data will also create a group of viewers who will give priority to this movie when watching movies.
Because a lot of people watch them, they are generally relatively popular movies and can be considered to be in line with public tastes.
The art team of Mubai Entertainment has been here for a long time to prepare. Every time the movie box office exceeds 100 million, a new poster will be released to celebrate the movie's achievements.
The entire Mubai Entertainment is filled with an atmosphere of joy. Their first movie was a hit and broke some records. Everyone is very proud.
Chen Mubai will be very busy in the next period of time. The movie has just been released and he needs to promote it in various regions across the country to expand the influence of the movie.
This time, only Chen Mubai can run the announcement, no one can share the responsibility, because he is the only actor in this movie, so he can only run...
Otherwise, if everyone promotes separately, the efficiency will be much higher and people will not be so tired.
On the Internet, Chen Mubai's fans cheered. Their idol's movie was a big success, and they were naturally very happy.
Similarly, those who had ridiculed Chen Mubai and belittled "Buried Alive" were once again pulled out and whipped.
This feeling of being slapped in the face with facts is indeed very refreshing and useful, leaving people speechless.
As fans of Chen Mubai, Chen Mubai has unlimited fame, so they feel that they are very glorious and their favorite idol has outstanding abilities.
Everyone likes strong people, so the more famous a star is, the more fans he will have.
Chen Mubai is basically a top-notch presence in WeChat. Celebrities more famous than him don’t have as many fans as him!
Because he himself has been on too many hot searches, and he basically relied on his strength to be promoted without any moisture!
Coupled with his personality and experiences, he also likes to mingle with fans. Such a star is very close to the people, making fans feel more friendly, and his fans are highly sticky and not easy to lose.
He was originally at the peak of his fame, and there was basically no loss of fans. There were more and more new fans joining him, so his influence on WeChat was unparalleled!
This is also why any news about Chen Mubai will quickly become a hot search, because there are more people following him, and the topics discussed will naturally become more popular.
...
"I've worked hard on you during this period." Lu Fang said to Chen Mubai on the phone.
"That's right. I'll leave the logistics to you." Chen Mubai said.
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged. "Buried Alive" is so popular now, I am confident that it will break through the 1.5 billion box office!" Lu Fang was full of pride.
Before the release of "Buried Alive", the prediction given by the outside world was 1 billion. The movie was very popular, of high quality and had won awards. The starring role was the super popular star Chen Mubai, so everyone gave such a high prediction.
Otherwise, this figure will be cut in half. Even if they win awards, the box office of many works will still be unsatisfactory.
After all, the core of the works at this kind of film festival is to express some opinions, which is the so-called artistry.
For example, works that discuss people's hearts, politics, and historical facts have a higher probability of winning awards, and the judges' vision is also based on this.
But the audience doesn’t like this kind of movie!
Literary and artistic films have always been favored only in terms of awards, but the audience does not buy it. It is commercial films that make money.
"Buried Alive" is a movie about human nature. Even if it adds elements of suspense and horror, for everyone, it is still an artistic film in essence, not a commercial film, and the audience may not like it.
The movie's pre-sale results and zero-point box office were beyond everyone's expectations. The data increased sharply, which surprised the outside world. Therefore, based on the original estimate, another 500 million box office was added, and the total box office was about 1.5 billion!
In other words, the outside world predicts that the final box office of "Buried Alive" will be around 1.5 billion!
Many Chinese movies have a box office of over 100 million, and many have exceeded 1 billion, but it is difficult to go higher. After all, the audience is limited, and the number of people watching the movie is also limited.
However, the box office of the first movie exceeded 1 billion, no!
It is the same whether he is a director or an actor. Chen Mubai's dual identity is even more rare. This record should be unprecedented and unprecedented.
Because the movie was a hit, Lu Fang's self-confidence has improved a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say such things.
"Well, just keep up with the publicity and try to increase the box office." Chen Mubai said: "Although the box office rush is strong, if the publicity is not good, it will also affect the stamina."
A movie's box office is definitely the best at the front, because fans will support it first, and then it depends on the quality and reputation of the work.
There are many movies with high first-day box office figures, but it is difficult to keep them from crashing. This is the test of the work, and these kinds of movies are all works of high quality.
"Buried Alive" is not bad, so we just need to continue to expand its influence on the original basis, and let more and more people know the information of this movie, so that they can be attracted to watch it. Publicity is extremely important.
The release of the movie is not the end, but just the beginning.
The next month or so will be filled with war, so we cannot take it lightly.
"Brother Lu, don't forget another thing. Remember to help me prepare!"
Finally, Chen Mubai mentioned something.
"I won't forget it. I'll wait half a month and I'll get it done for you!"
"Then I won't disturb you." Chen Mubai hung up the phone.
What he asked Lu Fang to do was Mubai Entertainment's next work.
"Buried Alive" was a success, and Mubai Entertainment's reputation in the industry has exploded. Their next work will definitely make money, and many people are watching it.
Chen Mubai was busy with the promotion of the movie, so he left the matter to Lu Fang to prepare.
Lu Fang's attention is focused on the matter of "Buried Alive". He just needs to pay a little attention to the preparations. The matter is not urgent, he just wants everyone to be prepared.
For his next work, Chen Mubai is preparing to film a TV series.
Yes, when the movie was a hit, Chen Mubai was not in a hurry to make the next movie, but wanted to make a TV series first.
Firstly, it is to settle down. After all, "Buried Alive" is so popular that no matter how high the box office is, it will never be a hit.
If he makes a second movie so quickly, no matter the quality of the movie, the outside world will compare the two works. If the box office is too different, it will not be a good thing for Chen Mubai.
Especially since the styles of the two works are different, there is no comparison. Besides, "Buried Alive" won the Venice Award, can the second one win?
It's impossible, so the quality and reputation will definitely be inferior to "Buried Alive", and it will also have an impact on the box office of the second movie.
If you take the movie alone, it would be fine, but if you compare it, it would be embarrassing.
As the first film, "Buried Alive" has a box office of 1 billion, which is indeed a bit high. It will not be easy to surpass it in the future.
If the starting point is too high, it is indeed easy to float. If it cannot be suppressed later, public opinion from outside will swarm in.
Although Chen Mubai himself doesn't care, the company is so big that it's not just him.
External public opinion will also affect the mood of employees. This is the stage of concerted efforts and everyone is full of confidence. If disappointment comes too quickly, it will undermine everyone's confidence.
Chen Mubai doesn’t just want to win awards and make movies all the time. He wants to bring Chinese culture to the world, so he must make movies with a big enough impact!
If the impact is big enough, naturally the box office must be high before people will watch it, so it is a commercial film!
It’s so difficult for commercial films to surpass literary films in terms of reputation and quality!
Chen Mubai is planning to change slowly to give the audience some time to adapt. Naturally, he will not shoot a second film so quickly.
After Mubai Entertainment passed the drama "Let's Get Married", its reputation for TV dramas also expanded. Even without Chen Mubai, it can still produce excellent film and television dramas.
The company has also bought some good works for adaptation. Chen Yunteng and others have been preparing for these things since they returned from Italy.
If Chen Mubai wants to film, there will be two works filmed at the same time in the company, both of which are aimed at star-making dramas.
Regarding the TV series, after half a month, the main thing currently is "Buried Alive", and this has not changed.
After Chen Mubai and Lu Fang finished communicating, they began a long journey.
...
"The box office on the first day is out, 201 million!"
Lu Fang told Chen Mubai the news, and the box office on the first day was a big hit!
The pre-sale box office at the zero-point box office was 145 million. After a day of publicity and fermentation, the box office exceeded 200 million!
It must be said that the rise of "Buried Alive" really surprised many people in the industry.
They subjectively felt that this movie was essentially a literary film and the box office would not be too high no matter how high it was, but they were still shocked by this data.
When did literary and artistic films have such a big impact and box office sales be so high?
It is understandable that the pre-sale box office is higher. After all, fans who buy tickets in advance are all fans. Not all of them go to the premiere. Some people also buy the shows in the next few days according to their own time.
But the box office on the first day was indeed too high. It was not a figure that a literary film could achieve. Many commercial films did not have such a high box office!
There are not many local movies in China that can exceed 200 million at the box office on the first day. They are basically foreign blockbusters, the kind of movies with cool special effects and huge investments that everyone likes to watch.
It's a popcorn movie, the visual effects are there, it's classic and fun, and it's not frustrating.
During these two hours, everyone is still willing to spend money on this kind of entertainment, so the box office of foreign blockbusters is generally high.
Domestically, because of the importance of popularity and traffic, many movies use popular actors. The pay is relatively high, but the acting skills are poor and the scripts are poor. Even if the box office is not particularly bad because of the traffic, it will not be particularly high either.
They are not willing to spend money on special effects. All the money goes to the actors. If the quality of the movie does not improve, it is an endless cycle.
There are few works with excellent quality, but if they do appear, the box office is still good.
We cannot leave all the problems to the producers. A large part of the reason is that if the investment is too large, the probability of losing money is too high, so people dare not invest.
Foreign blockbusters eat up the global box office. Generally speaking, the investment is large, but they also make more money. Even if there are losses, they will still make more money and they will still continue to make them.
Domestic movies are basically sold domestically and rarely make waves abroad. On the one hand, it is a matter of film quality and influence, and there is also a cultural issue.
The influence of Chinese culture abroad is not great, mainly because there are no particularly influential works.
Therefore, there are few people watching movies. Even if a distributor distributes Chinese movies on its behalf, it will not promote them too much, which will result in losses.
Generally speaking, in Europe and the United States, they are agents of movie discs, and rarely move them to theaters, so they can make more money.
In the final analysis, China still suffers from the loss of culture. China's cultural influence cannot spread around the world. This is also an important reason why China is now vigorously developing its cultural industry.
"Buried Alive" became a hit at film festivals, won awards, and Chen Mubai himself became popular on the Internet. Everyone knows that this movie is of high quality and highly exposed, and there are many people who want to watch it.
, so they competed for the distribution rights to show it in theaters.
