Chapter 188: The box-office battle to find the dragon has exploded!
There is still one month left before the National Day schedule.
Just after it was confirmed that the three films "Legend of the Lord", "Secret of the Dragon" and "Mekong River" will star on the same stage, "Ace of Ace" starring Andy Lau and Master Huang also held a press conference two days ago
, officially announced that the movie will be released during the National Day period.
This made the atmosphere during the National Day period, which was already relatively fiercely competitive, once again tense.
As a group that has occupied the first echelon of movie box office during the National Day period, the distributors of the four movies can be said to be like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own special abilities. Since the beginning of September, they have been promoting the movies through various means such as buying trending searches, creating topics, and releasing movie trailers.
In this month, four movies took turns to be on the hot search list.
There is quite an attitude of you singing and me appearing, but from beginning to end, the three movies have not been able to shake the number one spot on the hot search list for "Grand Trail".
Although there are many fans of actors such as Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Peng Yuyan, Hua Tsai, etc., on social software such as Weibo, the fans of popular celebrities are fighting locally, cheering on lists, and promoting CP.
After a set of character designs and a set of punches, all kinds of topics about the protagonists of "Grand Trail" sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Thanks to the strong cast of "The Secret of the Dragon" and the two popular actors Lin Yuan and Huang Bo, it has firmly ranked second in popularity after the movie "Grand Trail".
All four movies have put in a lot of effort in pre-publicity, and no one is willing to be outdone.
This is no longer an era when the smell of wine is not afraid of the dark alleys. If the publicity and distribution work is not in place, I am afraid that it will be like last year's "Rescue Mr. My" movie, which was not well received but not a box office success.
Under such circumstances, the leading actors of the four movies have frequently appeared in front of the media recently, and Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, and Shu Qi were not spared.
Originally, the three of them were preparing for the filming of the movie "A Good Show" in Yakushima, but they were called back by the director, and they held a temporary fan signing session to promote the movie "The Secret of the Dragon".
Warm up and cooperate with the issuer’s publicity work.
Time soon came to the end of September.
Except for the movie "Ace Funny", which is scheduled to be released on October 1st, the other three movies are all scheduled to be released on September 30th.
The reason is simple.
September 30th happens to be a Friday, and the next day is the National Day, which can be said to be a national holiday. The audience will be free to go to the cinema to spend money that night, and it will be released one day earlier, which means they can gain more
One day's box office.
In addition, it was released on September 30. After a day of fermentation, word-of-mouth about the movie basically spread on the Internet. When the National Day came the next day, the audience who were still hesitating about which movie they should watch
, maybe you will make a decision directly after seeing the good reputation online.
It has to be said that since the consumption power of the audience has increased, the phenomenon of blindly following the trend has become more and more intense.
In the past, when audiences wanted to go to the cinema to watch a certain movie, they would check the reviews of the movie in advance. If the movie had a good reputation, they might be willing to buy a movie ticket for it.
But now, the audience is too lazy to spend time to read movie reviews. The reputation of a movie is not worth mentioning in front of the box office performance. Most of the audiences are willing to choose movies with more explosive box office results. As for whether this kind of movie is suitable for them.
, I don’t care at all, anyway, the movie ticket is only the price of a pack of cigarettes now.
Under this circumstance, the first-day box office results on September 30th are particularly important for the three movies: "The Legend of the Dragon", "The Secret of the Dragon" and "Operation Mekong".
It seems that there are only a few days left before September 30th, the day when the movie is released.
The distributors of the three movies also spent a lot of money on movie promotion.
In addition to the commercial promotion by the publisher, another battlefield is also extremely lively now.
The four "Tiny Times" films made director Xiao Si famous, and also made celebrities such as Guo Biting and Chen Xuedong popular. It can be said that Xiao Si completely established a foothold in the entertainment industry.
Now that the movie "Legacy" is released, Xiaosi spares no effort to mobilize his connections within the industry to help promote the movie.
In this way, in addition to the starring actors of the "Grand Trail" movie, many popular celebrities also joined the team.
"The trailer of "The Legend" is officially released! Director Guo's new fantasy work, lovingly created by the main creative team of "Tiny Times"! Friends, come and watch! I warmly wish Director Guo's new work a box office hit! Eighty-eight lucky winners will be randomly selected.
Carp! Comment and repost for a chance to win a cash red envelope of 888 yuan! @Guodao, @juejifilm official Weibo.”
"Call me crazy for Director Guo!
Director Guo’s film must be a high-quality one! Just because of Director Guo’s name, this movie is worth looking forward to!”
"The three little ones are all cheering for Wang Yuan. This is Wang Yuan's first time starring in a movie. We also ask fans for your support. We also thank Director Guo for taking care of Wang Yuan on the set. We wish Director Guo's new work "Grand Trail" a great success at the box office."
!
"
"..."
Originally, the leading actors in "Jiuji" such as Wu Chuan, Fan Ye, Chen Weiting, Chen Xuedong and others were considered to be top stars, and their popularity was extraordinary. Now there are other popular celebrities helping to promote it, and they are all over the major social media and portal websites for a while.
, the movie "Grand Trail" can be seen everywhere.
And just after these popular celebrities publicly promoted the movie "Grand Trail".
Celebrities such as Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang also joined in this massive publicity one after another.
It's just that the movie they are promoting is not "Jueji", but "The Secret of the Dragon" starring Lin Yuan and Huang Bo.
In this situation, let alone the publisher of "The Secret of the Dragon", even Lin Yuan and Huang Bo never expected that "Jueji" would have such a strong publicity effort. That was because Xiaosi launched his own circle
Relationships, people have to help with this both emotionally and rationally.
But Lin Yuan and Huang Bo never thought about troublesome friends in their circle. After all, asking people to help promote a movie requires a favor. Otherwise, if they have to ask people to help promote every movie they make, the reputation of the movie will collapse.
Now, anyone who helps will get into trouble.
Now Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and others are voluntarily helping Lin Yuan and Huang Bo promote the movie "The Secret of the Dragon", which is enough to prove how good the relationship between Lin Yuan and Huang Bo is in the industry.
Of course, most celebrities in the industry still choose to sit back and watch, not helping each other.
Lin Yuan and Huang Bo are indeed well-known in the circle, but Fan Ye and a group of popular celebrities are not far behind. In addition, their relationship with Lin Yuan and Huang Bo is far inferior to that of Deng Chao and Xu Zheng.
etc., and may also cooperate with these traffic stars in the future.
Under such circumstances, the attitude of most celebrities in the industry is no different from that of netizens, and they just want to be honest.
With Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and other stars joining the cast, the popularity of the movie "Search for the Dragon" has finally increased a lot, and it has reappeared in the eyes of netizens. However, compared with "Grand Trail", it is still less popular.
A big difference.
...
at the same time.
A room in a luxury hotel in Shenzhen.
The crew's first road show stop was in Shenzhen, so Lin Yuan and others arrived in Shenzhen two days ago and started preparing for the road show.
Huang Bo took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip. Then he turned his attention to Lin Yuan who was sitting on the sofa and asked, "Did you ask Deng Chao to help promote the movie?"
Lin Yuan was also wondering. After he saw Deng Chao helping to promote "The Secret of the Dragon", he made a special call to inquire. As a result, Deng Chao's assistant said that he was filming, so Lin Yuan still doesn't know what happened.
One thing.
He shook his head and explained: "I don't know, I thought it was a movie that Director Wu asked Brother Bo, your contact, to help promote it."
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
This is strange.
After hesitating for a moment, Huang Bo took out his cell phone and said, "I'll call Xu Zheng and ask him what's going on."
After a while, the call was connected.
Listening to Huang Bo's voice, Lin Yuan probably knew that he was asking about this matter. However, Lin Yuan had no idea how Xu Zheng answered. He just watched Huang Bo, who was originally puzzled, suddenly realize.
A few minutes later.
As soon as Huang Bo hung up the phone, Lin Yuan asked, "Brother Bo, what did Brother Zheng say?"
"This guy, he said he will help us promote his movie now, and when he asks us to help him promote his movie later, there is no reason to refuse." Huang Bo shook his head in confusion. He didn't expect that this was his idea.
In fact, even if Xu Zheng didn't help them promote the movie this time, when Xu Zheng's movie is released, as long as Xu Zheng says a word, they will definitely help promote it.
The main reason why Xu Zheng said this was that he had a thorough understanding of the future film market.
In the future, box office competition in the movie market will only become more and more intense. Now that he is selling favors, the release of his own movies in the future will be equivalent to one more way out.
Not long after Huang Bo finished calling Xu Zheng, Deng Chao also called Lin Yuan back.
"Hey, Brother Chao, are you still filming at this time?"
Deng Chao on the other end of the phone smiled and replied: "Isn't this about to be completed and we're on schedule? By the way, brother, do you have anything to do with me?"
Lin Yuan joked: "I saw Brother Chao and you were helping to promote the movie. As a younger brother, I have to care about Brother Chao."
"You're talking about this." Deng Chao quickly explained: "Isn't this a movie with Peng Yuyan? When the movie was released, Director Han helped to promote it. When I thought about it, didn't I also have to help promote it? That's all
I have to help promote "Operation Mekong", and I won't forget your movie."
That's what he said, but it can be seen from the time Deng Chao spent promoting the two movies that he paid more attention to which movie.
Lin Yuan also pretended to be ignorant and kept this favor in his heart.
After hanging up the phone after chatting with Deng Chao, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he and Huang Bo appeared to be indifferent on the surface, they were actually worried about the box office performance of the movie "The Secret of the Dragon".
Needless to say, Huang Bo, as the current holder of the highest total movie box office, as long as the box office of his subsequent movies does not crash, he will probably be the first actor to win tens of billions of box office.
With the movie "Tang Detective"'s box office of more than 1 billion, Lin Yuan has entered the first echelon of competition with a box office of 10 billion. If he wants to win 10 billion box office, he not only has to ensure that the movie's box office will not be a hit, but also
And we have to ensure that the movie is a hit at the box office to have any hope.
Now the movie "Legend of Legends" is coming with a lot of momentum, and it looks like it is going to win the box office championship during the National Day period. The two of them feel somewhat uneasy.
The two of them have always been representatives of powerful actors. The leading actors in the movie "Jueji" are just the opposite of them. Almost all of them are popular stars. If the "Xunlong Jue" starring the two of them had not done as well as "Jueji" in the final box office,
"Traces", many employers will definitely focus on these traffic stars in the future.
After all, they are all award-winning actors now, and their salary is not low in the first place.
In addition, talented actors like them have to choose a script. If the script doesn't have any eye-catching features, basically no talented actor will be willing to star in it.
Looking at it this way, the cost-effectiveness of hiring popular celebrities to make movies is immediately apparent.
The management can completely spend the money on the script to hire two more popular stars. With the huge fan base of popular stars, even if the movie box office is not ideal, it will basically not lose money.
Anyway, for capital, if they want to make a movie that can win awards or make a movie that can make money, they will definitely choose the latter.
Now that Deng Chao, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and other stars are helping to promote it, the possibility of the movie "The Secret of the Dragon" ranking first at the box office on the first day is finally much greater.
...
Time flies and September 29th arrives in the blink of an eye.
At 12 o'clock in the morning today, three movies will be released in major theaters on time.
While the crews of "Operation Mekong" and "The Legend" held premieres one after another, the crew of "The Secret of the Dragon" showed no movement at all, as if they had given up the last chance to promote the movie.
Director Wu's original idea was to hold the premiere first, and then hold the first road show at 12 o'clock tonight after the premiere. Anyway, this would be in time.
However, Director Wu's plan was rejected by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan gave his own opinion. Since Director Wu is planning to launch seven consecutive road shows, why not do something about the road shows?
Other movie roadshows go to the theater to interact with the audience before the movie is screened, increasing the sense of interaction with the audience, thereby achieving the effect of creating topics and exposing the movie.
Then the crew of "Searching for the Dragon" can adopt a different form. The crew and creative staff will watch the movie with the audience. After the movie is over, the creative team will go on stage to interact with the audience and understand the audience's thoughts after watching the movie.
Feedback, this will increase the surprise for the audience. After all, no one would have thought that the audience sitting in the theater watching a whole movie with them would actually be the actors in the movie.
The second is to listen to the audience's feedback after watching the movie. This will make the audience feel that the film's creative team is really willing to listen to their suggestions after watching the movie, and it can make the audience feel the sincerity of the film's creative team.
The most important thing is that the first road show is like making a nest before fishing. Through this method, it attracts the attention of netizens and lets them know that the crew of "The Secret of the Dragon" will launch seven road shows during the National Day.
After everyone knew the news, the creative team hid their itinerary at this time, allowing netizens to guess which city and which cinema the creative team would appear in next.
At the same time, it gave netizens a psychological hint, that is, as long as they enter the cinema to watch the movie "The Secret of the Dragon" during the National Day, they will have the opportunity to meet the main creative team of "The Secret of the Dragon". This is a great opportunity for Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, and Anji
For fans of the leading actors such as La, it is a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with their idols.
If you are lucky enough and watch a movie in the same theater as your idol, it will definitely be a good talking point for netizens. Even if you don't meet the creative team of "The Secret of the Dragon", you can still buy it by then.
Movie tickets can be raffled off on Weibo, Hupu, and other major social networking sites, and you have a chance to get autographs from several leading actors.
After Lin Yuan told him his method, he immediately gained the approval of Director Wu and others.
So Director Wu directly canceled the premiere that he had prepared at the beginning, and asked the theater to arrange the movie seats for the premiere, preparing to give the Shenzhen Wanda Cinema a surprise for the premiere audience of "The Secret of the Dragon"!
Time passed minute by minute.
Soon it was time to check in. Lin Yuan and others put on their hats and masks, mingled with the ticket checking line, and entered the theater like ordinary audiences.
Everyone remained silent, sitting quietly in the movie theater waiting for the movie to show, for fear that other viewers would discover their true identities.
"I'm so excited. Two of my favorite actors are working together for the first time. I'm so excited!"
"It would be great if it was a comedy. I don't know how effective they will be in this two-shot adaptation."
"Oh, I hope it won't be as bad as "Nine-Storey Demon Tower"."
"Forget about "Nine-Storey Demon Tower". It took me a long time to work up the courage to watch this movie. I hope Lin Yuan and Huang Bo won't be so disappointed."
"Two works with ghostly changes, both of which were released during the National Day holiday. I have a bad feeling..."
"Listen or not, I came here for Yuanbao anyway. Yuanbao has made so many movies, but none of them are bad."
"..."
The creative team in the front row couldn't help but feel a lot nervous when they heard the rustling chatter from the audience behind them.
It can be seen from the words of the audience that they are not optimistic about this movie.
Because the reputation of the previous film "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has reached the center of the earth, this "Secret of the Dragon" made them a little scared.
If it weren't for the starring roles like Lin Yuan and Huang Bo, they might not even have the idea of going into the cinema to watch it.
Just when the audience was talking quietly.
The advertisements on the big screen also stopped abruptly, and the familiar dragon logo appeared in front of everyone.
The movie "The Secret of the Dragon" is officially released!
The lights in the theater suddenly dimmed, and the audience's eyes unanimously focused on the big screen.
As the names of distributors, production companies, etc. flashed by on the big screen, the film's narration sounded as the screen switched.
"More than a thousand years ago, the dynasty split into three countries, which were constantly fighting..."
In the picture, three gold-touching captains played by Lin Yuan, Huang Bo and Shu Qi are continuously descending along the rope.
There are many traps in the ancient tomb, but fortunately the three of them cooperated tacitly and opened the ancient coffin without any danger. A thousand-year-old female corpse dressed in red appeared in the audience's sight.
Seeing that the candle was about to be extinguished, there was not much time left for the three of them. Shirley Yang on the side urged the two of them to leave quickly, but Hu Bayi, played by Lin Yuan, accidentally lifted the hijab of the female corpse in red and lay there with her eyes closed. The thousand-year-old female corpse in the ancient coffin actually opened her eyes at this moment, revealing a smile that amazed the audience.
The next second, under the rendering of special effects, the ancient tomb collapsed, and Lin Yuan was pulled back to reality from his dream.
Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Shirley Yang, who are planning to wash their hands of themselves in the United States, are living ordinary lives. The once all-powerful Captain Mo Jin is now reduced to a street vendor, being chased all over the streets, and is given to the person who was originally supposed to be. The movie, which is based on the theme of "tense and exciting", also adds a lot of laughter.
By chance, Wang Kaixuan met Bianhua again, and remembered his first love Ding Sitian, and discovered that she might still be alive, so he followed Da Jinya back to the grassland, preparing to visit the thousand-year-old tomb again to find Bianhua's identity. the truth.
On the other hand, through Hu Bayi's self-narration, he recalled the story that happened on the grassland when he and Fatty Wang went to the countryside to jump in the queue, and at the same time, the audience was involved in the plot of the movie.
During the 125-minute movie, no one in the audience left their seat to go to the toilet. From time to time, bursts of laughter and shocked shouts could be heard from the audience behind them.
Judging from the reaction in the theater, the audience should be quite satisfied with the movie "The Secret of the Dragon".
Time passed by, and in the last kiss scene between Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang, the camera suddenly showed a panoramic view of Prairie Lake, and a strange skull appeared on the screen, which made the audience feel chills on their backs. .
This open ending makes it difficult for the audience to wonder, did Hu Bayi and the others really successfully escape from the tomb alive?
At the same time, the big screen turned black, and with the ending song, the movie list slowly scrolled, and then the wall lights in the theater lit up.
When the ending song ends, the movie officially ends...
The audience in the theater packed up their belongings, discussed the plot of the movie, and stood up to leave the theater.
However, before they could get up and leave, they saw a group of people walking straight onto the stage, and at the same time, theater staff moved in tables and chairs.
"What is this doing?"
"Isn't it a meeting of cinema staff?"
"Let's go, what's there to see here?"
"..."
The situation on the stage obviously made the audience in the theater a little overwhelmed.
After all, the official blog of the crew of "The Secret of the Dragon" never disclosed it, and the audience never expected that the creative team would come to the theater for a road show.
Just as the audience in the theater was about to leave, Director Wu took the microphone and introduced himself.
"Hello viewers, I am Wu Ershan, the director of the movie "The Secret of the Dragon". I am honored to join the creative team to come to Wanda Cinema to watch the first movie of "The Secret of the Dragon" with you. If you are free, I hope you can Please take a moment of your time so that we can listen closely to the feedback from the audience..."
It can be seen that Director Wu must have prepared a lot for the road show, and even prepared the speech script in advance.
And just after Director Wu introduced their identities, the audience who were in the movie theater preparations started talking quietly one by one and returned to their seats.
It's not often that you encounter a road show by the film's creative team while watching a movie.
For most of the audience at the scene, this was the first time they had such close contact with the film's creative team.
Many viewers have already taken out their mobile phones to take photos and show off to their friends.
Now that they have reached the road show stage, Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Angela and others no longer conceal their identities. They took off their masks and hats, took the microphone from Director Wu, and introduced themselves.
Just when they introduced themselves, the entire theater suddenly burst into exclamations that resounded throughout the theater.
The excited cheers could even be faintly heard by the audience in the movie theater next door.
After the leading actors introduced themselves one after another, the microphone was once again passed to Director Wu, who also struck while the iron was hot and asked the audience how they felt after watching the movie.
In fact, the audience who are willing to watch the first movie at this time are either fans of the protagonists or fans of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Whether they are the former or the latter, they obviously have fan filters.
Especially for fans of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", after the previous film "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" lowered the audience's expectations, the movie "The Secret of the Dragon" is not to mention how amazing it is for them.
Not only does it present a tense and exciting adventure atmosphere, but lines such as "Search for the dragon and share the gold to see the entangled mountain, one entanglement is one level of barrier, if the door is closed with eight layers of danger, there will be no yin and yang, and the Bagua pattern will not come out."
They went back to when they first read the novel.
After asking around, the audience all gave positive feedback.
I don’t know whether it’s because I’m embarrassed to speak ill of the movie in front of the creative team, or because the movie really has such a high reputation in the eyes of the audience.
However, judging from the situation of the movie just shown, it is obvious that the former is more likely.
Director Wu also understood the audience's psychology very well. Since he had no suggestions, he ended the Q&A session directly. The staff brought movie stills and markers and held a small autograph session on the stage.
As soon as they saw the opportunity to get the idol's autograph, the audience in the movie theater became more and more excited.
When you watch a movie, you not only get to meet the film's creative team, but you also get signed posters from your idols. Don't they take all of this good thing?
The movie posters were arranged according to the number of moviegoers in the theater. Each audience member got a poster signed by the leading actors. As for the extra dozen, they were reserved for the theater. After all, the person in charge of the theater is not stupid.
, know how to maximize the value of these dozen or so meaningful signature posters.
Finally, the first road show of the movie "The Secret of the Dragon" ended with a group photo with the theater audience.
...
When the road show ended, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.
Lin Yuan and the leading actors Huang Bo were sitting in a business car, preparing to return to the hotel to rest.
On the way back to the hotel, Director Wu was sitting in the passenger seat with many thoughts on his mind. It seemed that the results of the first movie of "The Secret of the Dragon" were not ideal for him.
But it’s understandable that Director Wu has such thoughts.
Regardless of the fact that the audience's response to the movie "The Secret of the Dragon" was pretty good, and all the reviews were mainly complimentary, but before checking the tickets for the movie, Director Wu randomly asked many tourists and found that they all bought
It was the movie tickets for "The Legend". There were even many tourists who didn't buy the tickets for the first movie "The Legend" and sat directly in the lobby waiting for the second movie screening.
Judging from the current situation, the movie's reputation should be guaranteed.
But the problem is that the movie "Grand Trail" is still the first choice for moviegoers. Under the overwhelming publicity, the herd effect is fully demonstrated among the moviegoers.
Regardless of whether the movie is good or not, just watch the movie that most viewers choose first.
Lin Yuan also noticed Director Wu's mood, and randomly found a topic to attract Director Wu's attention: "Director Wu, which city are we going to go to for the road show next?"
"Going all the way north, the next stop should be Changsha, Hunan." Director Wu said with a somewhat unwilling tone. After answering Lin Yuan's words, he asked: "Lin Yuan, after tonight, the entire network should know that our crew is going to
It’s a road show, do you think we should announce the itinerary in advance?”
There are pros and cons to announcing your itinerary in advance.
The advantage is that fans of Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Angela and other starring actors can receive news in advance and prepare for support activities. When the road show comes, the atmosphere will be more enthusiastic, which is more conducive for their crew to invite the media to come and promote the show.
As for the disadvantage, after the itinerary is announced, the enthusiasm of the audience in other cities will be greatly reduced.
Now that we know that the creative team of "The Secret of the Dragon" will not go to their city for a road show, their intention to buy tickets and go to the cinema has naturally decreased a lot.
"I think it's better not to reveal our crew's itinerary." After Lin Yuan finished speaking his thoughts, he added: "But if you, Brother Bo, have different opinions, you can put them forward for analysis."
Not surprisingly, Lin Yuan's suggestion was approved by several leading actors.
Originally, everyone participated in the road show to perform their starring duties and cooperate with the promotion of the movie. If the crew makes the schedule public now, there will definitely be fans waiting for them in the theater in advance. By then, it may not be a road show, but a fan meeting, so Huang
Bo and others immediately agreed with Lin Yuan's idea.
Since they have to go to the next road show city tomorrow, the creative team members did not talk much. After returning to the hotel, they went back to their rooms to rest and recuperate.
at the same time.
Just when Lin Yuan and Huang Bo, the main actors of "Searching for the Dragon" were sleeping and resting, there was already quite a stir on the Internet.
With the three movies "Legacy", "Secret of the Dragon" and "Operation Mekong" being released on time tonight, the National Day schedule has officially kicked off.
Netizens also shared their own movie-watching experiences online. Firstly, they gave some suggestions to other netizens to prevent other netizens from contributing to the box office of bad movies. Secondly, they wanted to satisfy their own weak sense of superiority and finally got the first show.
Why don’t you show off your movie tickets online?
Netizens who watched "Legend of the Ring" complained on the Internet one after another. During the promotion of the movie, there was a lot of hype. It was like an Eastern "Lord of the Rings", a domestic fantasy epic blockbuster. But when I went to the cinema, I realized what it means that the promotion does not match the real thing.
It can be called the worst movie of the year!
How great your expectations are, how disappointed you will be after watching the movie.
The first movie of "The Legend" had the largest number of viewers, and the more discussions about this movie.
Comments can be said to be highly polarized. For viewers with fan filters, they don’t care at all how the movie is shot, as long as their idols can play enough roles in the movie. Even after they come out of the cinema, they still
He exaggerates how good his idol's acting skills are on various social media.
For those viewers who initially followed the trend and chose the movie "Grand Trail", there was not a single minute of this 116-minute movie that they were not tortured by.
However, thanks to the fact that most of the people who bought the tickets for the first movie were fans of the lead actor, the reputation of the movie "Legend" online declined somewhat after the first screening, but the impact was minimal.
On the other hand, looking at the other two movies competing for the National Day box office, netizens who have watched "Operation Mekong" or "Section of the Dragon" expressed that they had a good viewing experience. The former is a main theme movie, which made the audience excited and patriotic.
The author is ecstatic about the original novel. Whether it is the movie casting or the plot of the movie, it has greatly restored the original novel.
However, while netizens were still discussing topics such as movie special effects, viewers who watched the first screening of "The Secret of the Dragon" at Shenzhen Wanda Cinema began to break the news online, saying that they met the film's creative team on the road show, and not only were they in the same movie
We watched the movie in the hall, and there was also a Q&A session and a final autograph session with the leading actors.
After hearing the news, other netizens still didn't believe it for a while.
It's usually like a road show for a movie crew. Every time the news is released in advance, it finally gets a lot of fanfare in offline theaters.
It's not uncommon for people to conduct road shows quietly, but those who choose to do so are usually small film crews who are not well-known themselves. Even if they want to make a big splash, they don't have the ability.
With such a luxurious lineup of actors such as Lin Yuan, Huang Bo, Angela and other actors, the roadshows have to be carried out secretly, so how can they increase the hype for the movie?
But when those viewers posted the live photos taken in the theater online, netizens couldn't sit still.
The fact that the crew of "The Secret of the Dragon" secretly conducted road shows quickly aroused heated discussions among many netizens.
Within an hour or two, when the topic had gained a certain level of popularity.
The official blog of "Search for the Dragon" also posted a message on Weibo. The content is concise and comprehensive, saying that their production and creative team will also conduct six road shows. As long as the movie "Search for the Dragon" is shown in theaters, the creative team may
will appear. As for the specific cities in which the road show will be held, the official blog did not disclose it.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a stir on the Internet.
"Six more road shows?!"
"I'm just going to watch Searching for the Dragon with my colleagues tomorrow night. It would be great if Lin Yuan and Huang Bo could come to Chengdu for the roadshow."
"I am an insider. Whoever v.s me 50, I will share the detailed roadshow itinerary with you."
"Holy crap, you can even get a signed poster of Yuanbao after watching a movie. Is there any netizen willing to sell it? I'll charge a high price!"
...
The next morning.
After a night's rest, the creative team packed up their things and set off for the next roadshow city, Changsha.
Since there were no direct flights, I finally chose to take the high-speed rail.
It took a total of four hours, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the Changsha hotel.
While everyone was resting in the hotel, Lin Yuan took out his mobile phone and scrolled through Weibo. To put it nicely, it was to understand the latest information in the circle, but in fact it was just to kill boring time.
Soon, Lin Yuan saw that Xiaosi's Weibo post posted an hour ago was trending.
[Xiaosi: "To celebrate the box office of "Grand Trail" exceeding 100 million on its first day, Xiaosi would like to thank all the fans for their support and decided to draw 188 lucky viewers to get a photo signed by the main creative team! @武典@fanye@陈伟盈..

After seeing this dynamic content, Lin Yuan's expression froze, and there was a little doubt on his face.
There are almost a full 9 hours until the first day's box office is released. In other words, it has only been 15 hours since the movie was released. The box office of "Grand Trail" has already exceeded 100 million?
Isn't this speed a bit too exaggerated?
Lin Yuan took a look at Xiao Sifa's updates to Huang Bo and the director next to him. Their reactions were similar to his. Obviously, they didn't expect the movie "Legend of Legend" to be such a box office hit.
However, Director Wu also sent a message to friends in the theater to find out more about the situation.
After asking, I found out that although the box office has not exceeded 100 million, it has already made more than 74 million. It is basically a certainty that the box office will exceed 100 million on the first day.
Although it was a bit inappropriate, Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Director Wu, what is the box office of our movie now?"
Director Wu was silent for a moment, lit the cigarette in his hand, and said with some reluctance: "The current box office is 43 million, and the first day's box office should be around 80 million..."
This result is actually quite explosive.
After all, tomorrow is the National Day, and people have to go to work as usual today. Naturally, the number of moviegoers during the day cannot be compared with that after get off work. The box office can be 43 million in such a long time during the day, and 4,000 in six hours at night. The box office of 10,000 yuan is not a problem either.
But compared with "Grand Trail", this result is obviously inferior.
The main reason why there is such a big gap is that the publicity intensity is simply not comparable to that of "Legend of the Dragon". If they had hundreds of popular stars to help promote the movie "The Secret of the Dragon", the box office would be less than that.
Double it up again!
Judging from their current results, there is no problem at all in opening the champagne at halftime.
Seeing that "Grand Trail" was about to win the box office championship on the first day of the National Day schedule, Lin Yuan did not choose to sit still and wait for death. Instead, he logged into his Weibo account, found the photos taken at Wanda Cinema yesterday from the photo album, and then added it to the news
a paragraph of text.
Huang Bo was still a little curious when he saw this. He leaned his head and asked, "Yuanzi, what are you doing?"
"Brother Bo, the first day's box office is almost out, you have to do something, right?" Lin Yuan immersed himself in editing the text while explaining: "If you watch other people's movies and invite a group of popular stars, the first day's box office will immediately exceed 100 million.
If, together with Xia Yu, we and the three best actors, none of the movies we collaborated with failed to exceed 100 million in box office on the first day, wouldn't this be a price drop for the best actor?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Bo's cheerful expression suddenly turned serious.
That makes sense!
There are a bunch of young people over there, and there are three movie stars here.
It doesn’t mean that the box office on the first day must exceed others, but the problem is that everyone can exceed 100 million in the box office on the first day. If they don’t reach it, then it will be too low. If such a situation really happens, who among the actors will pursue the best actor in the future?
Thinking of this, Huang Bo immediately took out his mobile phone, logged into his personal studio account, and started operating.
The box office results on the first day were the first confrontation between their two films!
