In the afternoon, the attendance rate of "Master of Hypnotism" was much higher than in the morning.

The overall movie box office is high, because many families need to visit relatives in the morning on the first day of the new year, and there are not many people watching movies in the morning when they go to pay New Year's greetings.

But in the afternoon, the crowd swelled.

After all, after New Year's greetings in the morning, dinner at noon, and entertainment in the afternoon.

We get together in twos and twos, either playing cards or going out to play, but during the Spring Festival, many entertainment industries are closed, and there are few places to sing, so everyone still chooses watching movies as an entertainment activity.

Someone paid attention to the developments on the Internet in the morning, and then began to choose the type of movie.

There are about ten movies in the Spring Festival file, and the choice made here is one out of ten!

Not everyone has the time to watch several movies, so when they choose one to watch, they will check the quality and online reputation. After all, this is something that is linked to the excitement of the movie.

Everyone found that they were pretty much the same, except that "Master of Hypnotism" had a good reputation, the rest were not much different.

But "Master of Hypnotism" is a suspense movie, which makes many people have difficulty choosing, and there are still many people who don't want to watch this type of movie in China.

Some people chose to watch "Master of Hypnotism" because of the public opinion on the Internet. Apart from its good quality, it also refuted the rumors. This movie has no ghosts, but only burns the brain.

Another group of people still choose to watch other movies. This is what Chen Mubai said is related to the type of movie. They still don’t choose to watch it. This is also an audience that is difficult to win.

Perhaps after the Chinese New Year, they will be able to walk into the cinema and choose to watch "Master of Hypnotism".

Compared with the morning attendance of other films, the afternoon attendance of "Master of Hypnotism" is significantly higher. It seems that Chen Mubai's strategy of relying on quality and word-of-mouth has achieved initial results.

However, there is still a gap between this box office and other movies.

"The first day's box office results are out." Lu Fang contacted Chen Mubai as soon as he got the box office.

"86.9 million!"

The results are a bit poor. In fact, compared with the results of the first two films, this box office is much worse. The first two films were all above 100 million, and even the pre-sale results of "Buried Alive" exceeded 100 million!

"Buried Alive" is also a suspense movie, and its performance has surpassed "The Master of Hypnotism" in all aspects, and that movie is also Chen Mubai's first work.

To be fair, "Master of Hypnotism" has a higher impact than "Buried Alive" in terms of influence and audience expectations. After all, Chen Mubai is now a well-known director and no longer a fledgling rookie. Naturally, the attention he receives is different. .

However, the performance of the initial works far exceeded the current works, which is actually a failure.

However, because of the award, the movie also received a lot of attention. The addition of the award and Chen Mubai's fame contributed a lot to the movie's box office to a certain extent.

The quality of the two movies is not bad, but the reason for so many poor results lies in the difference in schedule.

The schedule of "Buried Alive" was in September. At that time, there were no strong opponents. Coupled with a series of reasons such as award-winning, many people chose "Buried Alive" as their first choice to watch a movie.

But "Master of Hypnotism" is different. There are many opponents, and they are all powerful opponents. Well-known directors + first-line actors, there are many superstars gathered, and the situation is different.

Moreover, although this Spring Festival stall is the biggest festival, it is also the one with the most box office.

But due to the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, people are still reluctant to watch suspense and thriller movies.

Therefore, this Spring Festival schedule has no bonus for "Master of Hypnotism", on the contrary it has become a failure!

This is also the reason why the outside world estimates that Chen Mubai's new movie will be released in the next year. No one thought that Chen Mubai would go straight to the Spring Festival!

The type of movie is incompatible with the atmosphere of the festival, and this result is an indirect illustration of this truth.

"not bad."

Lu Fang didn't speak, but Chen Mubai smiled.

"Is there no gap in your heart?" Lu Fang couldn't help asking.

He originally thought that according to Chen Mubai's thinking, this result must be a lot worse than expected.

When knowing the result, Chen Mubai might be sad, he has prepared words of comfort to Chen Mubai.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mubai's mood didn't seem to be affected, on the contrary, he felt very relaxed.

I thought that according to the strategy, the performance of this movie should be better, but I didn't expect that it was still unsatisfactory. Chen Mubai's strategy was not considered a success.

However, there are still opportunities in the future. After all, the film cycle is so long, and this is only the first day, so it is too early to say anything.

"If you're mentally prepared, there's not much difference." Chen Mubai replied.

"I already knew that the type of movie would affect the box office. This is only the first day, so there is no rush."

"This can be regarded as my attempt. It may fail or it may succeed. This can only be left to the market to decide. All I can do is to shoot good works. As long as the data is not too bad, I can accept it."

Lu Fang's heart settled down, and he smiled lightly: "It's good if you can think so, I'm afraid you will feel sad if your grades are too poor."

"I've already thought of something to comfort you. I didn't expect to say it. It's a waste of time for me to prepare."

As he said that, he himself laughed first, and Chen Mubai also laughed.

"I'm not that fragile yet. The current evaluation and reputation are good. The rest depends on whether I can continue to ferment." Chen Mubai said.

"I watched this movie, and everyone in the theater praised it. It's really very good." Lu Fang praised.

"I didn't expect you, Brother Lu, to go to the cinema to see the audience's reaction!" Chen Mubai was a little surprised.

"Hehe, it's nothing surprising." Lu Fang smiled.

He wanted to see everyone's true feelings after watching this movie during the Spring Festival, so he went to the cinema to see everyone's reactions. This would be the most real feeling.

But it's not bad, everyone basically praises it a lot, and mostly praises it.

As he thought, the same is true of the public opinion on the Internet. Although "Master of Hypnotism" did not have a high box office, its quality and word-of-mouth were much lower than other films, and it was considered a successful work.

It's not bad to get the name without getting the money, it's better than nothing.

"The public opinion on the Internet is still quite favorable. There are many people discussing the movie, but the hidden content you released at the end has been well received, and it is much better than the ending that everyone thought at the beginning." Lu Fang said.

Chen Mubai said: "There will be many people who guessed the first ending, but the latter ending is different, and there should be few people who can see through it."

"Especially when all the evidence points to Xu Ruining being a patient, this reversal is just right. Everyone has seen the ending and will take it for granted. Even if some people think that Ren Xiaoyan may be a patient, Professor Fang and others His appearance will also smooth out these doubts."

"They will only think that Xu Ruining is sick, but no one will think that Xu Ruining planned the whole thing, and some may even think that Xu Ruining is pretending to be sick, but no one will guess that Xu Ruining used hypnosis to make himself forget his memory, and this setting Before, everyone thought they would be even more surprised after seeing the ending, so naturally more people praised it."

Chen Mubai's meaning is very simple. In fact, someone might have guessed the ending, and even some awesome people would guess that Xu Ruining might have planned the whole thing, but no one would guess that Xu Ruining would hypnotize himself, make himself forget the whole thing and Plan it out.

After all, forgetting a memory is tantamount to truly forgetting it. If it is not treated, this memory will not be retrieved.

But Xu Ruining still did it and succeeded. This is what was unexpected and the most amazing thing!

"Many people don't know the hidden ending, so they leave without seeing the end." Lu Fang said with a smile: "Generally, when people watch a movie and see the subtitles, they think it's over. Few people will put hidden content behind it. , you should tell everyone."

"Yes, I'll talk about it now." Chen Mubai replied.

The discussion of hidden content is very hot, and a large part of people have not seen it. Even if new viewers do not have time to surf the Internet or pay attention to the topic of "Hypnotist", they still will not know.

Talking about this matter now can be regarded as adding some heat to the movie. After all, Chen Mubai is a well-known star, and his words are still very influential.

After finishing speaking, Chen Mubai logged into WeChat and began to edit the content.

"First of all, I wish you all a Happy New Year!"

"I took "Master of Hypnotism" to celebrate the New Year with everyone. Many viewers have watched it. There is indeed no ghost in it. Well, after all, many viewers have watched it, and it can be regarded as a rectification of my name."

"Besides, at the end of the movie, many people think it's the ending, but in fact there are easter eggs at the end, which is what you call the hidden content. It's actually a continuation of the main movie. It can be regarded as two endings. It depends on which one you like."

"The reason why I put it in the easter egg part is that I am worried that some audiences don't like this ending. They may think it is too dark and cold, so I will understand it as two endings, depending on personal preference, so that no one will think of it. Send some blades..."

"Speaking of movies, I also know that this movie is not popular during the Spring Festival, but I don't care. What I care about is the quality of the movie and your feedback. As long as you think the quality is good and the movie is wonderful, it's fine. As for the box office, I believe that high-quality movies will not be bad at the box office, thank you for your support."

Chen Mubai's WeChat message quickly attracted a large number of netizens.

"It turns out that the hidden content is called an easter egg!"

"It's very appropriate. Indeed, the hidden ending is a bit like an easter egg, which surprises people."

"Anyway, I like the hidden ending very much. I think it directly turns an excellent movie into an awesome movie, and the final reversal brings the quality of the movie to a higher level!"

"Damn it, it turns out that the movie still has hidden content, so you have to see the end, right?"

"Understood, when watching "The Master of Hypnotism", don't rush away, there is more content behind!"

None of the works here have the content of easter eggs, basically they are played directly. Chen Mubai is the first to make this kind of follow-up content as easter eggs, and define it as easter eggs.

Before, everyone was talking about hidden content, or follow-up content, until Chen Mubai publicly said that it was an easter egg, which gave everyone a clear definition of this part of the content.

It is foreseeable that this effect is very good, and some directors will definitely use this technique in the future, and the influence and significance of Easter eggs will become greater and greater!
