This kind of news will certainly not be able to cover, in fact, the situation is more serious than imagined.
On the night of "The Ring of Midnight" was officially released on a large scale, a total of more than 200 people were frightened and sent to first aid.
Of course, the previous arrangements of Toei were indeed timely, so although these people were frightened, they were not in danger in the end.
Only the Shochiku Cinema in Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo was killed!
A male audience named Komatsu Jingming was scared to death on the spot!
The frightening scene is exactly the scene where Sadako crawled out of the TV.
Suddenly, the news of the entire island nation became a sensation, and the incident was reported one after another.
"This is the NHK News Channel. Next, let’s take a look at a piece of news. Yesterday, "Midnight Ring" directed by Chinese director Wang Yifan was officially released on the island. More than 200 people were sent in because the film was too scary. In the hospital, unfortunately, at the Shochiku Cinema in Yurakucho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, a 23-year-old male audience member Keiaki Komatsu suffered a heart attack on the spot and died on the way to the hospital!"
"Let us mourn the tragic death of Komatsu Jingming. In fact, as early as the filming of "Midnight Bell", director Wang Yifan from China warned Toei Co., Ltd. President Tsukamoto Oshima that "Midnight Bell" would It was so horrible that it might scare people to death. At that time, many people regarded it as a joke, because in the history of the island country, there has never been a situation where audiences were scared to death by movie screens."
"For this reason, many celebrities expressed their hope that "The Ring of Midnight" can be ordered to be banned! So let us see how ordinary people think about it?"
The screen turned to the street, and a reporter from NHK said to the camera: "I am in Yurakucho 2-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo."
Then the reporter stopped a passerby who looked like a social animal in a suit.
"Hello, I am NHK reporter Xiao Cong Keiko, can I take you some time?" Xiao Cong Keiko asked with a sweet smile.
"Aha! Of course! Excuse me." The other party was obviously captured by Xiao Cong Keiko's sweet smile.
"Do you know the terrifying incident of "Midnight Ring"?" Xiao Cong Keiko asked.
"Of course! I've watched "Midnight Ring"! It's unfortunate that some people are really scared to death." The animal exaggerated.
"So do you think "Midnight Ring" is scary? Did it scare you?" Xiao Cong Keiko asked.
"Are you kidding? How could I be scared? However, there are indeed some parts of me almost scared!" How can a man say he was scared in front of a beautiful woman?
"Now some people think that "Midnight Ring" should be banned. What do you think of this problem?" Xiao Cong Keiko asked again.
"Isn’t an excellent horror movie supposed to give the audience a thrilling experience? It’s ridiculous that people will be banned when they die. Some children choke on candy or even choke to death? Have you let you sell candy? The so-called related people are all cowards!" The animal was disdainful.
"Okay, thank you..."
"Damen Shichiro!" said the social animal.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Door for your answer!"
Then, the reporter interviewed several passersby, including men, women, old people, and so on.
But the result was very strange. Everyone thought it was absurd to ban "Midnight Bell" because someone was scared to death!
As a result, the wave of "Midnight Ring" swept the island nation and radiated other Asian countries.
Of course, the scaring thing did not reappear, which also made Wang Yifan relieved.
However, Oshima Tsukamoto didn't take it seriously at all, but was very excited. This incident made "The Ring of Midnight" suddenly become the cusp of the storm and the most attention.
No amount of promotion for other movies in the same period is useful.
As for Komatsu Kei Ming, Toei also gave a fierce show. Although Wang Yifan did not like it very much, he did not stop it, because Toei did make up for the other party's large sum of money.
This is a bit of compensation.
However, although "Midnight Rings" has a wave of "fighting bells" in island countries and Asia, its performance in North America is very strange.
"The Ring of Midnight" has a lot of professional film critics, and even many Hollywood directors, actors, etc. call it an extremely wonderful horror movie.
But at the box office, it seemed a bit unsatisfactory.
In island countries, the movie release time is generally four weeks, of course, if the box office performs well, it will be postponed.
In fact, it is similar to the domestic one to some extent.
"The Ring of Midnight" was affected by the terrifying incident. It was released on the island for a week, and it earned 3.8 billion yen, which can be said to be a direct hit.
Of course, "Midnight Ring" can have such a result, and Toei's generous publicity is also indispensable.
The production cost of "Midnight Ring" is actually not too high, but the publicity cost is three times the production cost!
[笔趣阁www.sbiquge.vip] However, this kind of box office revenue is indeed surprising. Many people are surprised that Tsukamoto Oshima previously blew out a box office of 10 billion yen, but now it is based on the existing box office. Judging from the situation, this number is really not out of reach, but seems to be only a matter of time.
In North America, the momentum of "Midnight Ring" was much worse, with only $2.8 million in the first weekend at the box office.
Although this is also because there are not many opening screens in "The Ring of Midnight", compared with the popularity of island countries, it is indeed not a level.
The following week, "Midnight Bell" was exposed again. Some viewers were frightened crazy after watching "Midnight Bell", which is no worse than scaring people to death.
As a result, the box office drop of "Midnight Ring" the following week was extremely insignificant, and it closed at 3 billion yen again.
However, in North America, it is still not satisfactory. Although the reputation is as good as ever, many film critics gave very high evaluations, but the result...
One hundred and twenty thousand!
This is the result of "Midnight Ring" in the second week of North America.
In the third week, "Midnight Ring" was probably due to the box office potential being overdrawn in advance in the previous two weeks, so the drop was obvious and it was cut in half.
The weekly report closed at 1.4 billion yen!
But even so, the box office has reached 8.2 billion yen!
According to the current situation, "Midnight Ring" can definitely be postponed, and it may take longer to break the tens of billions, but it is difficult to get a higher box office.
After all, the decline is huge, so the follow-up is hard to predict!
Tsukamoto Oshima was a little unwilling, because according to the current situation, "Midnight Ring" has a certain degree of difficulty even breaking tens of billions. After all, the decline is so large that the potential has been gradually exhausted.
