Chapter 198: The premiere box office is released (second more)

The bell rang at midnight.
Zhang Tong silently smoked and watched the endless traffic under Tianyu Building.
Although he seemed calm without saying a word, in fact he was still a little bit nervous in his heart.
The most important thing about a movie is not word-of-mouth, not its popularity, nor its rate of praise.
The most important thing about a movie is the box office.
Last year, "Metro Station" Zhang Tong did earn hundreds of millions in box office, but this year's "Blood Age" made Zhang Tong feel a little nervous.
"Blood Age" is a war film with the main theme, about the war sixty years ago.
As long as the main melody film is not badly shot, the box office is generally guaranteed, and the guarantee is guaranteed, but if you say that the box office is going to burst, it is really unrealistic.
After all, the audience is still a problem.
Although he has always had confidence in his "Blood Age", there have been so many Hollywood blockbusters during the Chinese New Year this year, which makes him start to feel lost.
The other Hollywood blockbusters are not strong, that is, their ability to attract fans is very strong, and it is easy to all the fans of the younger generation of China, which causes other movies to start to become unreliable.
Zhang Tong is not Li Mingrui, and he is not determined to give up Hollywood movies. He has a deep understanding of his movies and China's national conditions.
It is no exaggeration to say that China Films now has a long way to go if it wants to beat Hollywood movies, and it also needs the support of various resources.
This is almost an impossible task.
After more than ten minutes, two cigarettes were exhausted.
Zhang Tong took out his mobile phone and subconsciously wanted to call Lu Yuan. He didn't know why. He now felt that Lu Yuan should be much more nervous than him at this time.
After all, "The Wanderer" is Lu Yuan’s second film, and Lu Yuan’s current situation urgently needs a film to prove his strength. Put yourself in this position and think about it. If you stand in Lu Yuan’s position, you will definitely Sleepless at night.
Toot toot.
The phone rang for a long time before connecting.
"Hey……"
"Xiao Lu, have you slept yet?"
"Woo... Director Zhang, I just fell asleep."
"Just fell asleep?" Zhang Tong's sentence whether he slept or not was originally just a polite sentence, after all, who would sleep at this critical juncture?
But when Zhang Tong heard the sleepiness in Lu Yuan's voice, he was a little unbelievable?
Did Lu Yuan really fall asleep?
Still sleeping at this time?
What a joke...
"Well, yeah, I'm a little tired, Director Zhang, what's the matter?"
"No, I just want to ask what you think of the box office of the Spring Festival stall?"
"Um, the box office of the Spring Festival stall? Director Zhang, I'm not good, but the box office should be good."
"Oh, how many box office do you think you have?"
"Well, the response from the premiere seems pretty good, I think my box office shouldn't be too bad."
"How much is in your heart?"
"Nine million should be there."
"Nine million, pay back in two days, um, pretty good."
"Well, yeah, oh, right, Director Zhang, do you have anything else?"
"Gone……"
"Oh, then I'll call you tomorrow. I seem to have a cold again and my head is dizzy." The voice on the other side of the phone was obviously a little bit weak.
"Oh, well, pay attention to your body..."
"Bye."
Zhang Tong hung up the phone and lit a cigarette again.
Lu Yuan's reaction was completely different from what he imagined.
What is Lu Yuan like in his imagination?
Uneasy, nervous, even insomnia anxious, after hearing that he called, he must be worried and fearful in many aspects, and then he symbolically comforted him, and the two waited together for the final box office...
In fact?
He was too calm, and shouted at the box office of about 9 million yuan on the first day.
Investment of 7 million, 9 million on the first day...
How confident is this a result that was called out?
This kid can!
He felt that Lu Yuan had a young and frivolous feeling in him, which was very much like himself.
After smoking a cigarette, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Come in!"
"Director Zhang, it's coming out!" Assistant Xiao Li rushed over with a report.
"How many?"
"17 million!"
"call!"
After hearing this final result, Zhang Tong let out a long sigh of relief.
The 17 million achievement has completely exceeded his expectations by 2 million, which is a good sign.
If there is such a result in the premiere, then there is no problem at all for the next overall box office to exceed 500 million, and it is even possible to compete for 600 million!
This is another new record in the box office history of a Chinese theme movie!
You know that Zhang Jin's box office of "Wolf Walk" in October last year was only 630 million!
Zhang Tong was in a good mood when he thought of this.
It seems that I can sleep well now.
"By the way, has Xiao Lu's "The Wanderer" have the final box office statistics? It won't break several million..." In a good mood, Zhang Tong couldn't help but start to care about Lu Yuan's "Wanderer".
"Lu Yuan's "Wanderer"..." Assistant Xiao Li looked up at Zhang Tong, his eyes hesitating slightly.
"How much? Is it bad?"
"Eighteen million."
"Wait, what did you say? What is his box office?"
"18 million, ranking fourth in the total box office, second only to 20 million in "Killing Alien"..."
"?????"
After receiving the report, Zhang Tong glanced at the dense data and the final 18 million box office, and was instantly dumbfounded.
At this moment, his mind suddenly echoed what Lu Yuan had just said on the phone.
He said that he conservatively estimated it at around nine million.
At first, I thought that Lu Yuan was a little arrogant, and even put on the hat of young and frivolous.
But now it seems that this is not arrogance, but his mother's humility...
Zhang Tong felt that he was beaten in the face.
"Director Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay."
Faced with the concerned eyes of his assistant Xiao Li, Zhang Tong shook his head and then closed his eyes.
He suddenly felt that he might have insomnia again tonight.
…………………………
"Has the box office come out?"
"Guide Shen, come out."
"How much is our movie box office?"
"Nine million."
"Huh, nine million is okay. Basically, you can pay back in a week. By the way, what about other box offices?"
"17 million in "Blood Age", 13 million in "Blood of War", "Wanderer"... "Wanderer"..."
"How much is "Wanderer", don't hesitate."
"18 million, twice ours..."
"what!"
Shen Lianjie had a data report from his assistant in disbelief, staring at the data of "Wanderer" as if he had seen it before.
He felt like he was dreaming.
However, when he watched it several times and verified it several times, and found that there was no problem with the data, Shen Lianjie was dizzy.
The data of 18 million is really too good!
A literary film with an investment of 7 million yuan, you will directly get 18 million yuan at the box office for its premiere!
What are you doing?
Do you want every day?
After that, Shen Lianjie felt that his box office was too hot...
His 9 million box office data is exactly half of others...
Got it!
Before, I looked down on others and didn't treat them as opponents. Now they just stand up and fart. They sit on your forehead, and they are crushed to make you doubt life...
Shen Lianjie felt his face hot instantly.
History is always surprisingly similar.
"The Capital" himself was slapped by Lu Yuan. After being slapped, he was a little depressed for a long time and finally felt that he had gone the wrong way.
After learning from this painful experience, he finally chose to shoot "Banxia Pinellia" with a lower cost.
then……
"Blooming Pinellia" itself was beaten in the face again.
I invested more than 10 million in this movie...
And "Wanderer"...
Ha ha.
Seven million……
The thing is a small investment slap.
Shen Lianjie took a deep breath and lowered his head.
There was silence for a long time.
Then...
"Am I not suitable for directorship?"
He raised his head blankly and looked at his assistant suddenly, with a skepticism on his face.
assistant:"???"
…………………………
online.
"Surprised! The premiere of "Wanderer" was well received, with a box office of 18 million close to "Killing Alien". According to expert analysis, the final box office of "Wanderer" is very likely to be close to "Killing Alien"!"
"The rise of Chinese movies? The spring of low-cost literary movies is here?"
"Behind the high box office of "Wanderers", what is the other meaning? Is it the arrival of a new era?"
"Amazing acting skills, three-pointer control of the role, Lu Yuan, are you really a novice in the show business?"
"..."
Wee hours.
When the final data of "Wanderers" was exposed, the entire network instantly exploded.
Major information websites, headline portals, news, Weibo, movie networks...
Countless news media are scrambling to report on "Wanderers."
Wherever netizens stay, they can see someone discussing "Wanderers."
The box office results of "The Wanderer", the plot of "The Wanderer", the reputation of "The Wanderer" and Lu Yuan's acting skills...
People in the industry were all taken aback by the film’s premier box office results.
They unanimously felt that the word-of-mouth of "Wanderer" was very good, and the box office could not be too bad, but they did not expect this movie to turn into a shocking dark horse, almost directly reaching the China box office with a crushing posture. For the first time, the Hollywood movie "Killing Alien"...
This is undoubtedly a miracle!
It is an incredible miracle just like the original "Buried Alive".
"I have a hunch that this movie is possible, yes, it may surpass "Aliens of Killing". After all, the reputation of "Aliens of Killing" is really bad. After watching "Aliens of Killing", I don't want to watch it again, but "Wanderers" is different. I watched it again, but I want to watch it again."
"Same sympathy, wait, then, so, "Wanderer" may become one of the few movies in China's history that has suppressed Hollywood movies?"
"It's too early to say this. After all, there is a gap of two million. The key is to look at the follow-up!"
"and many more!"
"what happened?"
"I suddenly remembered that Lu Yuan ran to watch the video of "Killing Alien" yesterday. This may be a foreshadowing!"
"Foreshadowing?"
"Yes! Let's look at it. Lu Yuan can't have a back move. After all, this slapstick operation continues. I think "Killing Alien" will be surpassed by "Wanderer."
"Well, yes, look at the box office the next day! See if "Wanderer" can suddenly exert its strength!"
"Well, look forward to it!"
On the Internet, netizens started to watch the videos of "Wanderers" and "Killing Alien" yesterday by Lu Yuan...
I don’t know why.
Of course, there are a bunch of netizens who think that Lu Yuan will never do this for no reason!
This is definitely meaningful!
Naturally, they didn't know that Lu Yuan had a bad cold now and was hanging a needle with a runny nose.
I don't even know that Lu Yuan still doesn't know how much his box office is...
This is a sad story.
Yes.
Very sad!
