Chapter 170: The premiere breaks 100 million, and Tang is on fire!
When the hour hand moves from eleven to twelve and the date jumps from April 30 to May 1.
The movie Tang Detective has started to be officially screened in major theaters.
Since it was the weekend and the May Day holiday, there were many viewers in the cinema.
Except for the premiere of the movie Tang Detective, almost all other movies competing for the May Day slot will be released on that day.
Relying on the relationship with director Chen Sichen, the movie "Tang Detective" has obviously a lot more film schedule than other movies.
It is worth mentioning that the top-searched topic on the Internet did have some impact on the movie Detective Tang.
Many couples decided to follow the film critic's suggestion and exchanged the tickets for Detective Tang's first movie with the tickets for BJ Meets Seattle. After all, watching movies is to enhance their relationship. Since the film critic said that Detective Tang is
It's a bad movie. It's better to switch to a love movie like BJ meets Seattle. Maybe after watching this movie, the distance between them tonight will become negative.
However, due to the huge fan base of the two leading actors Lin Yuan and Wang Baoqiang, the first Tang Detective movie in major theaters still achieved a full house.
At two o'clock in the morning, audiences started to come out of various theaters.
Due to the different lengths of the films, the first people to come out were those who had watched the film "Dream Partner Audience".
All of them looked dull, with no trace of joy or sorrow on their faces. Even the audience members who went to watch the movie together had no intention of discussing the plot of the movie.
They have only one thought in their minds right now: They are both partners, and it is also an inspirational film, but why do Chinese partners make people excited when watching it, while Dream Partners makes people numb when watching it?
After watching the one-and-a-half-hour movie, they didn’t even know what the story was about. The emotional line was abrupt and the business war was superficial. They spent dozens of dollars to give them a bowl of poisonous chicken soup to start a business. It was simply...
An hour and a half of their lives was wasted.
When an audience member who regretted buying a ticket to see Dream Partners was about to leave, an audience member who had watched BJ Meets Seattle's Love Letter in the theater next door just walked out of the theater.
Seeing that the other person's expression was as uncomfortable as his own, he thought that the other person was watching the same movie as them, so he walked up and complained directly: "Brother, how do you feel after watching this movie? Is it particularly uncomfortable?"
"Stop talking, I brought my girlfriend here. It was said to be a romantic or literary film. But it turned out that I didn't even know what the movie was about. Within three minutes of watching it, my girlfriend said she had to go to the bathroom.
No one has come back yet." The eldest brother looked angry and stood at the door of the theater waiting for his girlfriend to come back.
"Romance movie? Aren't you watching Dream Partner?"
"What kind of dream partner? I exchanged Tang Tan movie tickets with my roommate for a BJ encounter in Seattle, and I also want to enhance my relationship with my girlfriend."
"..."
The two of them looked at each other, and it was obvious that they were not watching the same movie at all!
But it didn't matter whether it was the same movie or not. The two of them had endless complaints about bad movies. In the end, they did not forget to add regretfully: It seems that there are no good movies to watch during this May Day holiday.
Just when the two were chatting heatedly, the audience who had watched Tang Tan walked out of the theater.
The movie had ended long ago, but everyone stayed in the theater to watch a few minutes of behind-the-scenes, which delayed some time.
The two of them looked at the audience walking out of the cinema, chatting and laughing, and discussing the plot of the movie from time to time, feeling extremely complicated.
In Brother Xun's words, "Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. I just think they are noisy."
There is no doubt that the movie these people watched was obviously not the bad movie they complained about.
From the mouths of these passers-by, the two of them vaguely heard the words "Exploring Chinatown".
After hearing this, the audience member who exchanged movie tickets with his roommate found it difficult to accept it for a while.
At that time, in order to grab Tang Tan's movie tickets, he stayed on the Maoyan software at three or four o'clock in the morning. His hard work paid off, and he finally got two consecutive tickets. As a result, he saw the film critic's post online today.
Finally, I decided to exchange movie tickets with my roommate to stop the loss in time.
As a result, he never expected that this would completely shoot himself in the foot.
Just as he was regretting it, two familiar figures passed by him talking and laughing.
After seeing the appearance of the two people clearly, his eyes widened: "Xiao Yu? How did you come out with Wang Qiang?"
"Who told you to exchange for movie tickets? That movie is too boring. Detective Tang is better..."
Before he could recover, Wang Qiang on the side said: "Xiao Yu, I bought a ticket for Tang Detective's movie tomorrow night. How about we come back tomorrow?"
"Um!"
...
Just after the first screenings of major movies.
Except for the Tang Detective movie, the reputation of several other movies on the Internet has begun to decline rapidly.
"BJ Meets Seattle Fuji Love Letter" is not even remotely inferior to its predecessor. If it continues to develop according to this reputation, I am afraid that after this movie is released, this IP will basically be declared a failure.
The same goes for "Dream Partner". The benchmark is "Chinese Partner", but in fact, the plot of the movie "Chinese Partner" is not even half as good. The logic is full of loopholes. How many viewers can persist in watching this movie without making complaints about it?
Must be a ruthless person.
As for the other two movies, one is worse than the other.
In the eyes of the audience, the only movie left that can compete for the May Day box office championship is "Tang Detective".
Moreover, after the first screening, the reputation of Tang Detective's movie continued to rise. Only then did the audience understand why so many media and film critics had praised this movie.
Compared with other movies like "Tang Detective", that's the difference between a toy car and a truck.
Unless the movie Tang Detective is not released during the May Day period, once it is released, it will go on a rampage, and these other movies in the same period will not be able to resist at all.
Seeing that the reputation of movies has begun to collapse, these movie distributors have also begun to arrange for the starring team to conduct various promotional activities, such as fan signings, participating in variety shows, etc.
Although this is just drinking poison to quench thirst, it does have some effects.
This is the current situation in the domestic film market. As long as the publicity is good, the box office on the first day will basically not be too low. However, the final box office result still depends on the quality and reputation of the film.
No, by two o'clock in the afternoon, it was basically hard to get a ticket for the movie Detective Tang.
Almost all the movie tickets that day were sold out, and there was not even a single seat left in the front row, which was usually unoccupied.
On the other hand, looking at several other movies released during the same period, until now, the attendance rate is less than 30%, and even in the afternoon, the attendance rate is as low as not even 10%.
Faced with such a result, Chen Sichen has nothing to worry about the first-day box office. What he has to do now is to wait quietly for twelve o'clock tonight, and then watch the first-day box office data sent to him by the theater chain.
.
In the era of rapid development of the Internet, the box office on the first day was calculated in less than an hour.
The first one to come out was "BJ Meets Seattle Fuji Love Letter", which had a box office of 60 million on its first day, which was still 40 million short of breaking 100 million on its first day.
This result is quite acceptable.
You must know that the first movie "BJ Meets Seattle" had a relatively good reputation and box office. It is reasonable for this movie to take 60 million at the first-day box office under the halo of the previous movie.
But judging from its current reputation, I'm afraid it won't be able to break through the box office record of its predecessor.
This was followed by the box office of "Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty" and "Dream Partner". The former had a box office of 4 million and the latter had a box office of 9 million, just shy of 10 million.
As for "Phantom of the Devil" filmed by the original cast of Beijing No. 81, its first-day box office did not even reach 1 million, only 870,000.
The four movies that claim to be able to compete for the May Day box office championship are each more flattering than the other.
After the statistics of these movies were compiled one after another, the first-day box office of Detective Tang was also calculated within a few minutes.
The box office on the first day was 180 million!
It’s 30 million more than the first-day box office of all movies released in the same period combined!
After looking at the data sent by the theater, Chen Sichen directly opened the champagne in his hand to celebrate.
This time he was Qin Shihuang who ate Sichuan peppercorns and won!
Just like the movie "One Man's Martial Arts" starring Lin Yuan, the box office on the first day exceeded 100 million.
You must know that there is a reason why the box office of Lin Yuan's movie exceeded 100 million on the first day. If most celebrities in the entertainment industry did not help him promote it, the box office could exceed 100 million? If it is exhausted, it will be less than 20 million.
If Chen Sichen really mobilizes his connections in the industry to help, maybe the box office on the first day will reach 150 million!
Don’t forget that the previous box office record holder, the movie “囧”, only had a box office of 39 million on its first day.
The first-day box office performance of the movie "Tang Detective" has the potential to hit the box office record.
And the most important thing is that although he has more films scheduled than other films, the gap is not obvious. After all, which director has nothing to do with theaters?
However, after the first day's box office results are released, the film schedules of these movies will definitely be reshuffled. Unless these theaters do not want to make money, there is no doubt that the film "Tang Detective" will take the lion's share of the film schedules.
Judging from the current trend, there will definitely be no problem if the box office exceeds 1 billion.
Maybe it can break the box office record set by "Charlotte" in one fell swoop!
After confirming that the movie would not lose money and might even hit box office records, Chen Sichen directly sent a red envelope worth 200,000 yuan to the crew's WeChat group, and then began to discuss the time for the celebration banquet with the distributor and producer.
...
When Lin Yuan saw Chen Sichen handing out red envelopes in the crew's WeChat group, he knew that the first-day box office figures must have come out.
He didn't rush to receive the red envelope, but opened the peephole and took a look.
The box office on the first day was 180 million!
After seeing this data, Lin Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He thought that the movie might be a hit, but he never expected that the box office would exceed 100 million on the first day.
However, after seeing that "BJ Meets Seattle: Love Letter" had a box office of 60 million, Lin Yuan suddenly felt relieved.
I have to say that the reason why the movie "Tang Detective" can win so much box office is obviously inseparable from the development of the market. If it were a movie that had a box office of more than 30 million on the first day a few years ago, the results would have been explosive.
, but now there are more and more movies that have a box office of over 100 million on the first day.
Originally, Lin Yuan thought that Tang Detective would have to go through a brutal fight to win the May Day box office championship, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.
After closing Maoyan, Lin Yuan also opened Weibo and started browsing.
As soon as I opened the software, I saw Tang Tan's poster, but there were six words added on it: "The box office exceeded 100 million on the first day."
It seems that the film distributor is very concerned about publicity. Just a few minutes after the first-day box office came out, large-scale publicity began.
But this kind of thing is normal.
There are not many movies that have a box office of over 100 million on the first day. It just happens to be a publicity stunt. In addition, the movie has a good reputation now. If you don't promote it now, why not wait until it is no longer popular?
As expected.
Just after Lin Yuan opened Weibo, seven of the top ten hotly searched topics were related to the movie Detective Tang.
But what Lin Yuan didn't expect was that the hottest topic was not to celebrate the movie Detective Tang's box office exceeding 100 million on its first day, but to directly discuss whether Detective Tang could break Charlotte's box office record!
[This is also a comedy, can Detective Tang break the box office record of the Charlotte Troubles movie?]
There was nothing wrong with just looking at the topic, but when Lin Yuan clicked in and took a look, he discovered something was wrong.
This isn't a discussion, it's clearly a battlefield where fans of the two movies attack each other.
As one of the best comedy movies in recent years, The Troubles of Charlotte is naturally more than twice as good as Detective Tang in terms of comedy effects.
But Tang Tan is currently gaining momentum, and there is no May Day movie that can compete with Tang Tan. If this momentum continues, no one can say whether Tang Tan can break the box office record set by Charlotte Annoyance.
.
After seeing this topic, Lin Yuan couldn't help but start to look forward to it, hoping that Detective Tang could break Charlotte's box office record.
After all, he is a supporting character in Charlotte's Trouble, but he is at least a protagonist in Detective Tang.
If a movie starring the leading actor can win box office records, then it is considered valuable!
