Chapter 775: First Day Box Office Confrontation

Magic City.

In the bright study, Zhao Sheng, wearing gray pajamas, sat in front of the computer and opened the movie forum.

"Strange Mountains and Seas" was also released today.

Zhao Sheng wanted to see the online reviews of his movie.

"Strange Mountains and Seas" was given countless expectations by him, and he was not only looking forward to it but also nervous.

However, looking around, many posts were almost all discussing the two movies "Kung Fu" and "Go to the Clouds".

Zhao Sheng did not give up and looked through various sections, comedy, action, military.

Even in the fantasy section where "Strange Mountains and Seas" belonged, most people were discussing these two movies, and only a few people talked about "Strange Mountains and Seas".

Zhao Sheng's wife came in with a cup of water and asked, "How is "Strange Mountains and Seas"?"

She realized that Zhao Sheng didn't speak and his expression seemed a little stiff, so she realized that the situation was not good.

"Drink some water." She put the cup next to Zhao Sheng, walked behind him, and gently rubbed his shoulders.

Zhao Sheng sighed, rubbed his hair, and said depressedly: "Are these two movies so good?"

The box office results of movies can be seen from the posts on the movie forum.

For some people who often visit movie forums, they like to share their feelings on them after watching new movies.

Now almost everyone in the message area praises "Kung Fu" and "Go Fighting", which is also a kind of publicity for the movie.

This will arouse the curiosity of many netizens. Only by watching it can you know how good it is.

For this reason, more and more people will go to the cinema.

The sound of "Strange Mountains and Seas" is very small, so it will not attract the attention of netizens.

Zhao Sheng's wife knows the effort Zhao Sheng has put into this movie, but all she can do is to enlighten him.

Zhao Sheng lay on the chair and said unwillingly: "No, I want to see it with my own eyes, wife, let's go and see what's good about these two movies this afternoon!"

"Go Fighting" is a foreign blockbuster, and he can understand the discussion about it on the Internet.

But "Kung Fu" is a martial arts action movie that has already declined. How come it has also attracted such widespread praise on the Internet? Because of Tan Yue? Or is the quality of this movie really that high?

The wife nodded and agreed.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon.

The two walked into the cinema, and seeing the audience sitting in the viewing room, Zhao Sheng felt a little envious.

All his previous movies had never been full when they were released.

After "Going to the Skies", the two walked into the viewing room of "Kung Fu".

After two consecutive movies, Zhao Sheng and his wife dragged their tired bodies out of the cinema.

After all, watching movies today is not for relaxation.

Seeing Zhao Sheng's fatigue, his wife took him to a cafe for a short break.

After coming out of the cinema, Zhao Sheng didn't speak.

Of the two movies, the one that surprised him the most was "Kung Fu".

I didn't expect Tan Yue to actually make an excellent martial arts action movie.

It's just that you don't know the face when you are in Lushan.

Zhao Sheng has watched his movies too many times, and always feels that his movies are also very good, so he asked his wife: "What do you think of these two movies?"

His wife nodded and said, "They are both good."

In her opinion, the favorite of the two movies is "Kung Fu", which is a very good movie in terms of both plot and visual effects.

Now she finally knew why so many netizens praised "Kung Fu".

In fact, the feeling brought by watching the movie was much better than expected.

Zhao Sheng took a sip of latte. Although it was bitter, he felt it was delicious. He asked the doubt in his heart: "How does it compare with "Strange Mountains and Seas"? "

His wife hesitated for a moment and felt that there was no need to lie.

"Kung Fu" and "Go to the Skies" are very popular in themselves. Now the quality is so high and they are deeply loved by the audience. The box office performance will definitely be much higher than other movies.

His wife said: "These two movies are better."

Zhao Sheng did not speak, sipping the coffee in the cup.

Magic City.

Jiang Bei was typing on the keyboard, writing an in-depth analysis of "Kung Fu".

Every time he watched Tan Yue's movie, Jiang Bei would have deep feelings.

He would sort out these feelings for easy learning and reference.

Unknowingly, he had written more than 3,000 words, and there was no intention to stop. He felt that he was about to become a little fan of that young man.

The sound of typing on the keyboard echoed in the study.

In the blink of an eye, another half an hour passed. Jiang Bei took his hands off the keyboard, lit a cigarette, and continued to savor the movie.

Although "Kung Fu" is a martial arts action movie, Jiang Bei still thinks that the quality of this movie will definitely not be bad because it was made by Tan Yue.

And the result is even better than he expected.

Being able to shoot such an excellent martial arts action movie in this market environment has once again refreshed his understanding of Tan Yue.

Seeing that the quality of "Kung Fu" is so high, Jiang Bei naturally thinks about what the box office results will be on the premiere day?

With "Straight in the Sky" as an opponent, the box office results on the first day are still very suspenseful.

Before the two movies were released, the online comments on "Kung Fu" were not very good after all, and the impact on the box office results was still not small.

Jiang Bei put the cigarette butt into the ashtray and stretched his arms to relax his sore shoulders.

Of course, he still hopes that "Kung Fu" can win the box office championship for these two movies.

Seeing that foreign movies are so popular with domestic audiences, Jiang Bei felt powerless.

Having been a director for so many years, he also hopes that one day Chinese movies can go global.

The sound of keyboards clacking in the study room rang out again.

Late at night.

The busy city quieted down, but the Internet was still very lively. A group of senior movie fans were actually discussing the box office of the movie.

"Straight in the Sky is so good, it must be the box office champion this month! The first day box office must be far ahead!"

"I think the box office champion on the first day of the May Day holiday will definitely be Kung Fu. Many people around me went to see it."

"As a simple spectator, I think both movies are good. It doesn't matter to me who is the box office champion."

"The box office of Kung Fu should not be bad. The box office results of Tan's movies are always ridiculously high. How much will it be this time?"

"When watching Straight in the Sky, the entire viewing hall was full. The box office is definitely very high. Kung Fu is no match."

"Both Kung Fu and Straight in the Sky are very popular. There is still a lot of suspense about who will be the box office champion."

The next day.

Brilliant Entertainment Company.

After the employees of the film department came to the company, they began to discuss "Kung Fu" and the box office, and then more and more people joined the chat.

"What do you think the box office of "Kung Fu" will be?"

"It's hard to guess, but it must be very high. The champion must be ours!"

"Alas, although I don't want to admit it, it's still a bit difficult for our "Kung Fu" to become the single-day box office champion. "Straight in the Sky" is too powerful."

Some people in the crowd recognized it, and some didn't quite understand it.

The man continued: "Before the release of "Kung Fu", many netizens didn't look forward to it. More importantly, there is now a powerful competitor "Straight in the Sky."

"I don't need to say more. I believe you have seen it online. How many people were discussing "Straight in the Sky" before it was released. An American blockbuster has a great impact on the domestic film market."

The discussion became much quieter, and everyone began to worry. After all, the opponent this time is the always strong American blockbuster!

The door of the office was open, but Zhou Can didn't seem to hear the discussion outside. He clenched his sweaty hands and closed his eyes, immersed in his own world.

Compared with the nervousness and anxiety of waiting for the box office results when "The King of Comedy" was released, Zhou Can felt more nervous this time.

First, the market environment makes it difficult for martial arts action movies to have a good situation, which greatly increases the box office risk of "Kung Fu".

Second, this is Zhou Can's second movie as the protagonist, which is very important to him.

"The King of Comedy" laid the foundation for his development in the film and television industry, and "Kung Fu" will determine his future development prospects.

Since the release, Zhou Can has been paying attention to the online evaluation of "Kung Fu".

But the rave reviews did not completely dispel his concerns.

Now only seeing the box office results can calm him down.

Zhou Can, who was not interested in work, refreshed the page of the official website of the General Administration of Culture over and over again.

Knowing that it was not time yet, Zhou Can just couldn't control himself.

He hoped that "Kung Fu" could be like "The King of Comedy", with a huge box office performance and become the hottest movie at the moment.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhou Can waited for the data to be updated as if every second was a year.

Finally, it was ten o'clock.

The official website of the General Administration of Culture updated the data on time.

Zhou Can took a deep breath and tried his best to control his trembling hands.

First place: "Go to the Skies", single-day box office of 546 million.

Second place: "Kung Fu", single-day box office of 528 million.

Third place: "Star of the Grassland", single-day box office of 182 million.

Fourth place: "Strange Mountains and Seas", single-day box office of 165 million.

Fifth place:

Zhou Can clicked refresh again, still the same data.

His brows frowned slightly, and his left hand stroked his chin, looking a little disappointed.

A single-day box office of 528 million is very high for any movie, but it is still a big difference from the box office of "The King of Comedy" which broke 800 million on the first day.

What made Zhou Can feel even more disappointed was that "Kung Fu" was suppressed by "Go to the Skies".

Zhou Can's mood was a little complicated.

He had always been a minor actor on the set, and was later signed by Tan Yue to join the Brilliant Entertainment Company. After playing supporting roles for several years, he finally embarked on the road of starring, and he played the leading role in two consecutive movies.

Who in the current entertainment industry does not envy Zhou Can's current situation.

However, the box office performance of "Kung Fu" this time did not meet his expectations.

Zhou Can sat in a chair without spirit.

After a short period of silence outside, it became lively again.

"The box office performance of 528 million is already very high. This is only the box office of the first day. There is still great potential."

"I still feel a little bit depressed when I saw this box office performance. I was originally looking forward to surpassing "The King of Comedy", but I didn't expect it to be so far behind."

"You think too well. How can a martial arts action movie have such a high box office?"

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect it to be suppressed by "Straight into the Sky". It's uncomfortable to watch."

"Although it ranks second, it is only more than 10 million behind "Straight into the Sky". There is still a great chance of overtaking."

"I hope so. The box office is actually very good, but it's really disappointing to be beaten by an American film. It's a pity that "Straight to the Sky" did not hit "The King of Comedy" and "Wreaths Under the Mountain"."

"Kung Fu" ranked second at the box office, which made many company employees feel a little disappointed.

President's Office, Tan Yue's Office.

Tan Yue also sat in front of the computer to check the box office results of the movies released yesterday announced by the General Administration of Culture.

"Five hundred and twenty-eight million." Seeing this result, Tan Yue nodded slightly.

This result can be said to be within his expectations.

In the current film market environment, martial arts action movies are not very popular. It is very good that "Kung Fu" can achieve such a result on its premiere day.

It is normal that the box office of "Kung Fu" is not as good as that of "Up to the Sky".

After all, it was an American blockbuster, full of gimmicks, and more attractive to the audience.

If Tan Yue were an audience member, "Straight to the Sky" would also be the first choice to enter the cinema.

At this time, Chen Ziyu knocked on the door lightly and came in, walked to Tan Yue and said, "Have you seen the box office results?"

Tan Yue nodded and said, "Yes."

"What do you think?"

"This result is quite good."

Chen Ziyu has the same view as Tan Yue on this point.

Tan Yue took a look at the box office results and said softly: "I am still very confident about the movie "Kung Fu". Due to various reasons, the box office on the first day was lower than that of "Into the Sky", but there is a chance to overtake it later. of."

Chen Ziyu nodded in agreement.

Yesterday, the two of them went to the cinema to watch a movie called "Up to the Sky" in a private theater. She was also very confident that the final box office of "Kung Fu" could surpass "Up to the Sky".

"I knew this was just drizzle to you, haha."

Looking at Tan Yue, who was extremely confident, Chen Ziyu reached out and hugged her boyfriend's shoulders.

After Chen Ziyu left, Tan Yue leaned on his chair and closed his eyes to think.

He really has confidence in "Kung Fu".

First, because he knows the important position of "Kung Fu" in film history. The quality of this movie is extremely high, even surpassing "The King of Comedy". The main reason why the first-day box office is so different from "The King of Comedy" It's still a matter of subject matter. The current market for martial arts action movies has shrunk too much.

Another reason is also related to the competitors this time. "Up to the Sky" is an American blockbuster. Whether it is the investment in filming funds or the director or actors, they are all international celebrities.

Nowadays, many domestic audiences have inexplicable strong expectations for international European and American blockbusters.

Tan Yue slowly closed his eyes.

This situation will be broken sooner or later.
