Chapter 256: Using horror movies to reason (1)
The several horror films have not yet been officially released, and they are already full of gunpowder.
However.
There are many blockbusters this year, including the comedy "Meet the Martian" which is a yearly film by the Sesame Open Team, the epic mythological film "Fengshen 1" jointly created by Alibaba Entertainment and Alibaba Pictures, the family animation "The Year of the Dragon" produced by Niu Bi Animation... and so on.
At the first time of the screening, Maoyan Data gave its own predicted box office.
1, "Meet the Martian", 3.1 billion.
2. "Investiture of the Gods 1", 3 billion.
3. "Painted Skin", 2.6 billion.
4, "Tokyo Strange 4", 1.3 billion.
5. "Star Wishes in the Year of the Dragon", 900 million.
...
The first day of the first five movies released were 27%, 25%, 20%, 10%, and 8%, respectively, and 90% of the movies were divided.
As soon as this prediction came out, Saburo Ono was unhappy and his movie ranked fourth, and the box office was doubled by the movie of the young boy mentioned that day.
He immediately posted on his personal Weibo, saying that the box office forecast of Maoyan data lacks professionalism and objectivity, and listed the box office forecast of Maoyan data in recent years.
He also made personal predictions, first of all, he believed that the investment funds, cast, script completion of his movie were incomparable to the previous few movies, and invited a group of Chinese superstars to match the Mandarin version, with a box office of at least 1.5 billion. Secondly, he believed that "Painted Skin" had an inflated box office, and the horror films did not have such a large audience. It could not exceed the threshold of 2 billion in a single film market. Finally, he believed that "Zombie Dawn 3" was underestimated. This film has a shocking special effect scene of a million corpse tide, and the visual experience reached its peak, and the box office should start at 1 billion.
Maoyan Data has always ignored the outside world’s doubts about their box office forecasts. If you say it’s a prediction, there must be some right or wrong.
but.
However, netizens were discussing it enthusiastically.
"If you are too confident, you will become arrogant."
"The third part has already gone downhill, with a box office of only 550 million yuan. Maoyan data predicts that 1.3 billion yuan is already very high."
"It seems that he really doesn't know about Django."
"Just let him experience the complete defeat of "Gears of War: Deep Space Warriors".
"Django's greatness is not only because of his good script, but also because of the theme song, interlude, ending song, and the selection and training of actors."
"Watch it carefully, who is the king of horror films in the Chinese film market!"
...
There are still many people who support "Painted Skin". Even if you put aside the label of "domestic horror movies", the name "Django" alone cannot be treated with a conventional mindset.
Because he is not an ordinary genius, but an almost demonic existence.
When Django was asked by a media reporter at the premiere of "Painted Skin" how he viewed Saburo Ono's interview and prediction.
He just smiled and replied: "It is human nature for every director to have confidence in his movies. I won't say that much. We have an old saying, 'It's a mule or a horse, take it out and slip it', and you'll see the heights tomorrow."
Django did not go and talkatively, and he was like Saburo Ono.
As a human being, don’t think you are so good. If you don’t have the strength, you will still be bullied. Being strong is the king.
Be low-key, do things in a high-profile manner, face dissatisfaction, use box office and reputation to slap in the face.

"Baby, do you really want to watch horror movies? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year."
At the ticket purchase counter of a cinema in the center of Jingzhou, Hu Xi said to his girlfriend: "Why don't you watch "Meet the Martian" first?"
Sun Yiyi looked at her boyfriend with her eyes squinted and said, "Are you afraid?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Xi immediately raised his chest and raised his head, saying, "It's just a horror movie, can I dare to watch it even with my eyes open?"
Sun Yiyi was amused by her boyfriend's words. If you don't look with your eyes open, would you look with your eyes closed? Seeing that your boyfriend was really timid, he said, "You know, I am a fan of Django. I will watch this movie sooner or later. Otherwise, you go to watch "Meet the Martian" and I go to watch "Painted Skin"."
Hu Xi hesitated for a moment, then said firmly: "No, just read "Painted Skin", I'll buy tickets!"
After saying that, he walked towards the ticket stand with great strides, looking as if he was about to die.
Sun Yiyi is funny and warm.
She is a fan of Django, mainly for her works. After all, she is not those idiotic little girls. As long as Django has new works such as songs, TV series, movies, etc., she will watch them as soon as possible.
The investment funds and cast of this "Painted Skin" are better than "Initial D" and "Detective Chinatown", but there are many doubts from the outside world, and even Japanese directors have to step on it because it is a domestic horror film that has declined in recent years.
But Sun Yiyi just doesn't believe in this evil, and she must take a look at it with her own eyes before giving up.
In the trailer, there is no horror, and I see Guan Yansi is very charming, Qin Shiyue is very homely, Gu Yao is very cool, Zhang Jun is very handsome, and Gong Li is very domineering.
So, she was actually quite worried, afraid that Django would fail.
"Baby, I'm here." After Hu Xi bought the tickets, he went to buy popcorn and milk tea, and waved to Sun Yiyi with a bag.
"Here you." Sun Yiyi quickly stepped forward and took the movie ticket from Hu Xi.
After checking the tickets, the two entered the cinema hand in hand.
There were about 30 or 40 seats in 120 seats, and the attendance rate was not high, just over 30%. This was already very good for Zhu Ping. After all, he almost couldn't even recover the cost of five million in his last movie, but for the new generation of screenwriters and directors, Django, who was the first to fail, it could be said that he was a failure.
Hu Xi glanced around and said, "Baby, this movie of Django is hanging. I just took a look at the ticket counter. The attendance rate of "Tokyo Weird 4" is 55%, and the attendance rate of "Zombie Dawn" is 46%, which are both quite high."
Just as Sun Yiyi was about to speak, he saw a group of people coming in, and there was no need for thirty or forty.
"Wife, have you arranged the child?"
"Don't worry, there's a mother to follow. "The Dragon Year's Star Wish" will end a few minutes later than us. After watching it, you can just wait for them at the entrance of Hall 5."
...
"It's all you, you want to park your car on the next street, and you almost caught up."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, this hasn't started yet?"
...
"This ticket checker must say that I am only fifteen years old and I need to look at my ID card."
"You are indeed a little tender, just like a junior high school student."
...
Listening to the conversations of people around him, Sun Yiyi said proudly: "Baby, which movie has a higher attendance rate now?"
Hu Xi smiled awkwardly and said, "Django yyds!"
Chapter completed!
