This Emperor is Only An Actor

In 2013, in fact, the concept of Spring Festival stalls already existed, but it was not paid much attention to.

In the previous life, "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" won a box office of 1.2 billion in the 2013 Spring Festival file, which made people see the potential of the Spring Festival file exceeding expectations.

But in this life, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is definitely hopeless.

It was replaced by "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji Zhi Tian Zun".

The box office figure of 110 million on the first day was enough to shock everyone.

After Xu Zheng heard the news, he immediately called Wang Changtian, the president of Guangxian: "As expected, the labor and management were right to withdraw their files. Fortunately, they didn't compete with this animal at the same time."

Wang Changtian was also very lucky: "I guessed that "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: The Supreme Under Heaven" would explode, but I didn't expect it to explode to such an extent. This is another record-breaking effort."

"It's normal, "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: The World Supreme" has not yet been released, and everyone's expectation for it is to break the record of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: Demon Sect Leader", and even break through one billion, so that domestic films will also enter the one billion mark. " Xu Zheng was very envious: "Judging from the current box office, it is very promising."

"There is indeed hope. This time "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is about to sit on wax."

Wang Changtian and Xu Zheng rejoiced a lot, fortunately they were not stubborn.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is the head-to-head, and it has to go head-to-head with "The Legend of the Heaven and the Dragon Sword". Now "The World's Supreme" has a box office of 110 million on the first day, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is 40 million.

From the data point of view, it can't be too bad.

But counting the schedule, publicity, and lineup, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"'s first-day box office of 40 million will definitely not satisfy the producers and investors.

And it is foreseeable that the film schedule will continue to be tilted towards "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: The Supreme Under Heaven", and the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will become less and less in the future.

The market only chases winners.

Yue Guan was also shocked when he learned that the box office of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: The World Supreme" reached 110 million on the first day.

His original expectation was around 90 million.

The box office on the first day can reach 90 million, and if it breaks one billion, it will basically be a show. Although the number of movie viewers will drop significantly after the Spring Festival, the box office of the past few days is the one that grabs.

And the reality was more successful than he expected.

""Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: The Demon Sect Leader" has accumulated too much popularity for "The Underworld Supreme". Many fans of "The Demon Sect Leader" watched "The Underworld Supreme" for the first time." Wang Jing had already made many phone calls at this time. , and got some relatively accurate data: "Yesterday, "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: The World's Supreme" was almost full, and the attendance rate was basically not lower than 90%. This shows the enthusiasm of the audience."

"Word of mouth?"

Wang Jing smiled happily: "The opening score is 9.5, the highest score of all my movies."

Among the group of directors, Wang Jing belongs to the director who doesn't care much about movie ratings.

What he cares more about is the movie box office.

But you asked him if he wanted a higher rating? Definitely want to.

Everyone wants to.

He doesn't like being scolded.

"It will definitely drop in the future, and it is impossible to maintain 9.5 points." Wang Jing was not dazzled by the victory: "But maybe it can be maintained above 9 points, which is very awesome."

Of course awesome.

There are only a handful of commercial films that can score more than 9 points.

Most of them are old movies plus sentimental points, in order to reach more than 9 points.

"Let the Bullets Fly" is basically a recognized classic, with a score of only 8.8.

In the previous life, after 2010, there was only one domestic commercial film with a score of more than 9 points - "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

But the theme of the God of Medicine has a bonus, and the filming is really touching, not very commercial.

"Yi Tian Tu Long Ji Zhi Tian Zun" is different, this is a pure commercial film.

"9 points is a bit difficult. Today is only the second day of the release. All the fans who come to score are true fans. It will gradually decline in the future, and some black fans will hit one star to make trouble. But judging from the current trend, 8.5 points and above It must be stable." Yue Guan didn't care much about this: "As long as the score is above 8.5, the quality is enough to attract audiences into the cinema. Anyway, our goal is box office, not ratings."

As we all know, ratings are more biased towards TV dramas and variety shows, and are more harsh on movies, especially domestic movies.

A domestic film with a score of 8.5 is already of a quality that can enter the cinema for a second screening.

Neither "Wolf Warrior 2" nor "The Wandering Earth" scored 8 points, but the box office was higher than the other.

Hearing what Yue Guan said, Wang Jing also nodded: "Indeed, the current word of mouth is enough, and the box office trend is also very good. Now let's see how much box office we can get during the Spring Festival."

"So we have to work hard, run more road shows, and participate in more variety shows. Brother Jing, fat people are generally weak, can you hold it?"

"Just kidding, how about I, Yeyu Ten Girls?"

Yue Guan was silent for a moment, but still did not expose his lie.

Last night he saw a woman enter Wang Jing's room.

It came out in five minutes.

We dare not say, and we dare not ask.

Anyway, counting the time, tsk tsk, that can't be counted.

...

The first-day box office of "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji: The World's Supreme" broke records, and the follow-up promotion was also in full swing. The next day's box office was released, and it did not disappoint.

130 million.

Compared with the box office on the first day, it was 20 million more.

The power of the Spring Festival stalls was immediately valued by everyone.

It's just that everyone still can't tell whether "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji Zhi Tian Zun" is too awesome, or the Spring Festival schedule is too awesome.

Because the box office performance of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" did not meet expectations.

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" reported a box office close of 35 million the next day, a small drop, indicating that the movie was not as bad as expected.

In fact, it did not.

Yue Guan has always felt that the quality of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is at the same level as "The Mermaid", and may even be slightly better.

However, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is 1.2 billion, while that of "The Mermaid" is 3.3 billion.

In many cases, the box office and quality of a movie are indeed not completely proportional.

For example, this time, the leading actor of "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" was complained by too many people.

In addition, the crew of "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji: The Supreme Under Heaven" has been keeping the rhythm:

"Don't contribute to the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". Only when Master Xing understands that he directs and acts by himself will the audience be willing to watch it, and he will continue to direct and act by himself."

Many netizens responded, including many fans of Zhou Xingchi, who also responded spontaneously, saying that they did not support "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and they hoped to see the actor Zhou Xingchi.

Zhou Xingchi: "MMP."

But seeing the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" being crushed by "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji: The World's Supreme", Zhou Xingchi really felt very uncomfortable.

Whoever has experienced this feeling of being stepped on to the top knows.

In Zhou Xingchi's mind, the idea of ​​coming back really came into being.
