Chapter 778: .First day box office

The first day of the large-scale release of "King Kong".
Chen Shaojun can be said to be the most disturbed one.
No way, but he is not nervous.
Even if the media evaluation is not low, even if the film critics give a high evaluation, even if the word of mouth is quite good.
However, it is not to say that there has been no good reputation, and the high-rated movies have been shown on a large scale, but Waterloo ushered in.
Therefore, as long as the result does not come out, it is impossible for him not to be nervous.
On the contrary, Wang Yifan actually felt that "King Kong" didn't have to worry so much.
"You are the mystery of the authorities!" Wang Yifan couldn't help but said with a smile.
However, Chen Shaojun said in an irritating manner: "Then what about you bystander? It's cleared?"
"The box office of "King Kong" actually had early signs, but you only paid attention to the box office, but ignored it." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"There are early signs? What do you mean?" Chen Shaojun was a little confused.
In fact, he can not be blamed. It is reasonable to say that Chen Shaojun is not making a movie for the first time, but in fact, the big production of "King Kong" is indeed very different from the movies he directed before.
Large production, high risk and high return.
Everyone knows this. In fact, don't watch those low-cost movies, what the return on investment is, but give a simple example.
Ten times or twenty times a million is only ten million.
But if the big production is calculated on the basis of 100 million, then even if the return is doubled, it is also 100 million.
Of course, even if a small-cost movie hits the street, it is only a few million.
However, once a big production hits the street, it will be a loss of hundreds of millions.
This is also the reason why Chen Shaojun is so nervous, because in the previous movies, even if he loses, he doesn't actually have much pressure.
But this time, it was different. Once he lost, the blow to his confidence would be extremely huge.
"You have also seen how hot the topic of "King Kong" is now. Although there are some controversies, this just highlights the "King Kong" is just as popular. The volume of topics in the entertainment circle is often proportional to the box office. Discussions and controversies of this scale I think it will be enough for "King Kong" to win this week's box office championship, and there was no opponent worthy of attention during the same period," said Wang Yifan.
"This..." Chen Shaojun nodded, but still couldn't relieve his tension.
However, it relieved him a bit.
"You can read more of those film reviews, maybe you won't be so nervous." Wang Yifan shook his head and suggested, seeing that Chen Shaojun still hadn't relieved his nervousness.
"Alright!" Chen Shaojun also nodded.
In fact, the news from Ouyang Ming from time to time is that the situation of "King Kong" on the Huaxin Cinema is very optimistic.
Although, the theaters cannot provide exact box office data before the movie box office is counted.
After all, this year, although there are real-time box office statistics, they belong to different theaters, and for various reasons, in fact, real-time box office statistics are not accurate.
For example, on the Huaxin Cinema Line, at most only one preliminary ticket and property sales on the Huaxin Cinema Line can be counted.
Of course, it is not only Chen Shaojun from Huaxin, or Wang Yifan and Lin Husheng who pay attention to the box office of "King Kong".
The outside world is also paying great attention to this movie.
Without him, "King Kong" can be said to be China's first truly domestic monster movie!
You read it right, it's the first one!
In fact, the box office market in China has always been very strange. Although there is a high probability that Hollywood movies will sell well in China, they are not absolute.
Such as monster movies.
Before this, Matsumoto Universal had adapted a monster movie based on an anime from the island country.
However, because that monster is an island country gene, it can be said that it has encountered Waterloo in North America.
But on the Chinese side, they have achieved very good results.
In the same way, there are Hollywood monster movies that have achieved good results in North America, but they are rather lacklustre in China!
The film market in China is now the second largest film market in the world.
Second only to North America, it has already surpassed island countries.
But with the rise of the market, audiences also watched all movies from the beginning, and gradually began to have higher requirements for movies.
There have been countless examples of bad movies selling out, but in recent years this has rarely happened.
After all, audiences are not fools. They become good doctors for a long time. If they watch too many bad movies, they will also start to learn to distinguish.
Therefore, this has led to the fact that high-quality movies can sell better, and conversely, bad movies, even if they are large-scale productions, will be miserable.
No matter how much publicity stunts, no matter how good the publicity is, the movie is ugly, it is ugly!
However, there are only those types of movies going back and forth, and because of risk factors, few people dare to invest large amounts of money to engage in some innovative large-scale productions.
Because innovation means taking risks.
Therefore, "King Kong" is definitely an adventure to some extent.
Just kidding, 100 million U.S. dollars, plus the cost of the announcement, at least 1 billion Chinese dollars, this kind of big production is actually a monster movie, which is why many people were not optimistic before.
But it does not mean that they do not pay attention to "King Kong".
After all, monster movies, this type, is actually a very good investment direction, but the question is whether it can be accepted by the audience, or how well the audience accepts such domestic films?
"King Kong" is undoubtedly the best touchstone!
If "King Kong" achieves great success, then it is conceivable that other giants will definitely swarm.
Because the development of a new category means new profit growth points.
Audiences who have been watching a type of movie will of course feel tired. Therefore, if new movies can be accepted by the audience, at least in the short term, this type of movie will not cause the audience to suffer from aesthetic fatigue.
Closer to home, back to the box office of "King Kong".
12:50 in the morning.
Huaguo Movie Box Office Data Net has updated the national box office data statistics report of the day.
In fact, as early as a few minutes ago, Chen Shaojun had been refreshing the Chinese movie box office data network with red eyes.
Finally, updated.
When Chen Shaojun saw the box office data of his movie "King Kong" at the top of the list, it seemed that he finally couldn't help laughing.
No way, he needs to vent after being depressed for so long and under pressure for so long.
Although Wang Yifan had already predicted that the box office of "King Kong" would not be bad, when he saw the box office data, he was also surprised.
Not too low, but beyond his expectations.
"King Kong" lined up 48% on the first day, and the daily box office reported 180 million!
Yes 180 million!
With this number, it is no wonder Chen Shaojun would laugh.
In fact, according to Wang Yifan's prediction, the box office of "King Kong" could reach 130 million or so on the first day, but the result was so much higher than his prediction, which really exceeded his expectations.
