Chapter 171: Breaking one billion box office!
When Lin Yuan woke up the next day.
What surprised him happened. The number of screenings of Detective Tang’s film increased from 20% on the premiere day to 40% now.
The increase in screening is so exaggerated, it is entirely due to the peers.
For cinemas, they open cinemas just to make money, so in this case, movies such as "Fantasy Forest", "Phantom of the Demon Palace", and "Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty" can be scheduled for ten in 100 episodes. As a result, ten episodes were screened, and the number of viewers was not enough for one cinema!
Under this current situation, there is no way. The theater can only give the volume of these movies to Detective Tang, but despite this, at night, it is still hard to get a ticket for the movie Detective Tang.
Therefore, against the backdrop of this peer, "Detective Chinatown" broke the box office record of domestic suspense comedy the next day it was released.
The moment the record was broken, the news became the front pages of major social media, and Lin Yuan could understand it if it were under the operation of capital.
But the problem is that this news was first posted by the official microblog of the Film Association, and then the official microblogs related to other movies began to be forwarded. After this scene appeared, it was very interesting behind it.
Logically speaking, it is not strange that Detective Tang broke the box office record of domestic suspense comedy. After all, the box office record of domestic suspense comedy is only over 100 million. It is no exaggeration to say that if the film "Detective Tang" had a higher volume on the first day of the film, it might have broken this record on the first day.
Even director Chen Sichen and the publisher of Detective Tang, the film, aimed at Charlotte's box office record, and had no idea of celebrating the box office record of domestic suspense comedy films. So after seeing such an operation by the Film Association, everyone was puzzled.
However, not long after, the official Weibo account of the Film Association released a ranking, which was full of the box office records of suspense comedy films of Detective Tang before, and Detective Tang ranked first.
After seeing this, Lin Yuan then understood why the Film Association posted such a news.
The reason is very simple.
Most of the domestic suspense comedy films used to sell dog meat with a sheep's head, and they dared to post a suspense element to the movie.
The official Weibo account of the Film Association will post such a news that it wants to borrow the movie Detective Tang and hit those movies that disrupt the film market, which is a warning to those who sell dog meat with the title of sheep.
However, after this wave of operation, Detective Tang was successful. Just after the official Weibo of the Film Association released the update, the topic of Detective Tang's movie was once again rushed to the top of the hot search list.
Under the influence of the hot search list, Detective Tang won a box office of 370 million in just three days, which can be said to have made a lot of money. If he could maintain the momentum of over 100 million yuan in daily box office, let alone the box office exceeded one billion, it would not be impossible to break 3 billion.
However, a discerning person can see that this is obviously impossible.
The box office during the May Day holiday is only hot for these three days. Once the holiday is over, the box office will also be affected. After all, everyone has to go to work after the holiday. At this time, it is not easy to get the audience to pay for tickets to watch movies.
As expected.
Just after the May Day holiday, the box office of Detective Chinatown's movie that day dropped to 70 million, without the exaggerated momentum at the beginning, but everyone is not in a hurry. After all, on weekends, Detective Chinatown's box office will definitely rise a lot, and it is normal for the box office to be lower on weekdays.
However, to Lin Yuan’s surprise, just when he was holding on to this idea, Detective Tang’s movie reputation once again became popular online!
The reputation of Detective Chinatown’s movie this time is both unexpected and reasonable.
Because after the holiday, although netizens returned to their respective jobs, their minds were still stuck during the May Day holiday and they were not in a state of working.
In this state, basically everyone treats work as a fisherman!
Therefore, people in various jobs sat in the company not just work, but complained about the unhappy May Day holiday online. As a result, as they talked about the topic, they complained about the bad movies during the May Day holiday.
I finally had a vacation and wanted to watch the movie to relax, but I fell into the trap of bad movies during the May Day holiday. Not only did I not relax, I saw all my high blood pressure. Who can bear this anger after spending money to suffer?
I don’t want to speak up, and there are many topics about May Day movies on Weibo and major social media websites soon.
There are many scattered topics, all of which are complaints from netizens, such as regrets of buying movie tickets, and regrets of taking the time to watch such a bad movie...
There was even a bad movie that was put on a hot search by netizens. This movie was "Meeting Seattle's Love Letter". It can be said that this movie has become the target of netizens' anger, and the scolding on it was continuous.
The appearance of this scene can only say that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Before the release, Douban scored 8.2, many viewers expressed their expectations, and even the popularity of the movie was not much worse than that of Detective Tang. If it weren't for the popularity of the two starring actors Lin Yuan and Wang Baoqiang, they might have been met with the Seattle movie before the premiere.
But unexpectedly, when everyone went to watch it with anticipation, they found that it was a bad movie. This was like preparing for a luxurious dinner, but there was a fly in the dinner. It didn't matter whether it was hungry or not, but what was important was that it was disgusting.
Compared with other netizens’ complaints about other movies, the topic of Detective Tang is basically unanimously praised.
Unlike the positive reviews of media reporters and film critics, the audience's evaluation of a movie is often the most intuitive. They do not have any gorgeous rhetoric and do not understand the plot design of the movie. The most intuitive feeling that the movie gives them is their evaluation of the movie.
Therefore, netizens generally discuss the topic of the movie "Detective Tang" at three points.
First of all, I was surprised by the newly directed film directed by Chen Sichen. You should know that Chen Sichen was an actor at the beginning and later transformed into a director. The director's first movie was a work with the same name as a love story TV series.
The movie was released two years ago and can be said to be highly anticipated by the audience.
The reason is very simple. At that time, the TV series Love Story harvested tears from countless viewers. Until now, the Douban score has remained at 70 points, which is enough to show the excellence of this TV series.
However, the movie "Love Story" failed to maintain the same level as the TV series. It only relied on the reputation of the TV series to earn 400 million yuan. The box office results were very good back then, but the reputation of the movie plummeted. At that time, many viewers even commented online that they would no longer watch movies directed by Chen Sichen in the future.
Two years later, Chen Sichen returned to the public eye with his new work.
I thought that the director Chen Sichen would continue to shoot movies with real love themes to prove himself, but no one expected that he would choose a suspense comedy theme that he had never been involved in.
This undoubtedly made many viewers not optimistic about this movie. However, after entering the cinema and watching the movie, everyone realized that Chen Sichen gave everyone a beautiful report card this time, especially through his peers, he became the biggest winner of this May Day, with both reputation and box office success.
Therefore, netizens couldn't help but praise Chen Sichen after watching it, which was a turnaround for Chen Sichen.
Secondly, what made the audience hotly discuss was the acting skills of the actors in the movie.
Needless to say, Wang Baoqiang is the performance in "Lost in Thailand" that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The filming of this film, Detective Tang was completely a true character.
What really surprised the audience were the three actors Lin Yuan, Xiao Yang and Zhang Zifeng.
Unlike Chen Chichi, Xiao Yang's impression on the audience is basically still based on the combination of Kuaizi Brothers. In 2014, a song "Little Apple" became popular all over the country, far surpassing the limelight of their "Old Boy" movie.
However, in the movie Detective Tang, Xiao Yang's acting skills can be said to have been recognized by the audience. Although he was a singer's transformation, the performance effect presented in the camera is not pretentious at all. Those who don't know think that Xiao Yang graduated from the performance academy.
Zhang Zifeng didn't have many shots in the movie, but his weird smile in the last scene made the audience in the theater feel creepy, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
As for Lin Yuan, the reason why the audience was surprised was not because of his acting skills, but because of the role he played this time.
Lin Yuan’s previous comedy films basically played interesting roles, such as Zhut Head in "Passing Through Your World" and Yuan Hua in "Charlotte's Troubles".
However, in this suspense comedy, the character Tang Ren is responsible for the funny points of the entire movie, while Qin Feng is a ruthless cracking machine, responsible for promoting the development of the plot. To put it bluntly, although the character Qin Feng is the protagonist, if he is not good at acting, he will easily become a tool person.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan did not disappoint the audience. Under Lin Yuan's interpretation, the character of Qin Feng's character, whose divinity is greater than beast nature is greater than human nature, also made the audience look forward to Lin Yuan's next performance even more.
As for the last topic discussed by netizens, it is when will the filming of Detective Chinatown 2 start and when will it start to be released?
It is not difficult to see from this point that the audience has already had a high evaluation of this drama, otherwise the entire network would not have called for the second film to be filmed immediately.
...........
It is also when netizens are discussing the topic.
Sister Xia called Lin Yuan with a congratulations.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she said in a joyful tone: "Lin Yuan, if nothing unexpected happens, when this movie is released, you should be able to squeeze into the first echelon of the 10 billion box office."
In addition to Lin Yuan paying attention to the box office, Sister Xia and Xitian Media are also paying attention to the box office.
And after the first day's premiere results came out, Xitian Media also helped Lin Yuan take the opportunity to create momentum and promote it.
Logically speaking, Lin Yuan is now a top star, and Xitian Media doesn’t need to spend money on him anymore. It’s not that Xitian can’t afford to spend money, but that he has his own popularity and will appear on hot searches from time to time.
But in this case, Xitian took the initiative to help him build momentum. The reason is very simple, that is, he hopes that Lin Yuan can bring a miracle to the company and become the first domestic actor with a billion-dollar movie.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Lin Yuan can become the first actor to win a box office of 10 billion yuan, then Xitian Company will definitely have to rely on her mother to be valuable by her son, and become one of the most famous entertainment agency in the country.
Once it becomes the most famous entertainment company in the country, then the money Xitian makes in the future will be an astronomical figure.
So they had to take Lin Yuan's movie box office to heart.
However, what surprised Xitian was that Lin Yuan slapped them in the face again. They initially estimated that the movie would be around the box office of Liuqiyi.
There are two main reasons for this data. One is that the box office of domestic suspense comedy has always been poor. Even with two popular stars, Lin Yuan and Wang Baoqiang, they can only guarantee a basic box office of 400 million yuan. The other is that there are too many competitive works during the May Day holiday. They are afraid that any good works in these works will overshadow the limelight of "Detective Chinatown".
But unexpectedly, after the May 13th holiday, the box office data that came out directly slapped them in the face.
No one expected that the other movies were all soft-legged shrimps, and they were fucked by the movie Detective Chinatown on the first day.
Under this circumstance, everyone in the company thought that Lin Yuan was simply a blessing. He could encounter such things that his peers set off, and it was like God delivering food.
And Lin Yuan, when he heard that he was rushing into the first echelon of the 10 billion box office competition, he was somewhat unbelievable: "Sister Xia, it's not so exaggerating. Brother Bo and I are two billion box office gaps."
"Is this an exaggeration? Do you know how many box offices the movie Detective Chinatown can win conservatively?" Sister Xia asked angrily.
When she heard her asking, Lin Yuan did not directly answer. When Detective Tang was first released, he himself estimated that the movie might only win a box office of 500 million yuan.
But judging from the current data, I am afraid I will double it up!
If calculated based on 1 billion, then Sister Xia said nothing wrong.
He already had a box office of 1.3 billion yuan. After winning this box office of 1 billion yuan, it would be 2.3 billion yuan, which just happened to be the tail of the first competitive echelon.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan could only smile and explain: "Isn't this the result not coming out yet? Champagne is being opened in the middle of the movie, what if the reputation of the movie collapses in the middle."
"Just just have fun. Do you know how many directors will ask you to film after this movie is released?" Sister Xia teased, then changed the subject and said in a grievance: "Hey, you are a hand-off manager who is comfortable. Unlike me, you have to help you deal with these things during the May Day holiday."
He said that, but the joy in Sister Xia's tone was not hidden at all.
The relationship between agents and artists is mutually beneficial. The more Lin Yuan takes on the more scenes Lin Yuan earns, the more money Lin Yuan earns, and the more famous Lin Yuan is, the more famous her agent is. From this perspective, she wishes Lin Yuan will get busier and busier, preferably 365 days without a day off.
"Sister Xia, you're just talking about it. Our relationship cannot be said to be mutually supportive. That's also a friendship between Guan and Bao..."
Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, Sister Xia interrupted Lin Yuan: "Stop talking, I will sort out the script in the past two days, and you can come and take a look at it."
"Okay."
The two chatted for a while, and after nothing happened, the phone hung up.
Not long after he hung up the phone, Chen Sichen called him as if he was pinching the time.
Lin Yuan picked up the phone and put it in his ear: "Hey, Director Chen, why are you thinking of calling me if you don't stare at the box office?"
"It's the same whether the box office is focused or not. The box office will directly recover the cost in three days. No matter how the next box office is, it will make money. It's just that the more you make, the less you make. How about it? If you have time to come out for a celebration banquet tomorrow?"
From Chen Sichen's words, he could hear how energetic he was after winning a box office of 400 million yuan.
Although the movie "Love Story" won the box office two years ago, it lost its reputation. Almost all the Internet questioned him about his transformation director. He wanted to explain it, but the reputation of the movie was just there, and even if he wanted to explain it, it would be useless.
Therefore, when he helped him prove it once with the movie Detective Tang, he was already crazy about his joy.
As for this celebration banquet? To be honest, everyone is smart, saying that it is a box office explosion in the movie Detective Chinatown. In fact, Lin Yuan could also hear that Chen Sichen was preparing to set the original crew to prepare for the movie Detective Chinatown 2.
Lin Yuan naturally felt that there was no problem with having a show, let alone the second part of Detective Tang.
The first part will have to exceed one billion, so the second part will surpass the previous work, right?
If the second part is even more explosive, wouldn’t he have won the title of 10 billion actors earlier? But it’s not difficult to hear from Chen Sichen’s tone that this kid had been holding back something and didn’t say it out. He probably was going to meet him before he talked about it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately agreed and then began to pack up and prepare for the banquet!
Chapter completed!
