Chapter 848 Global First Day Box Office
Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.
After putting down his phone, Tan Yue opened the email on his computer.
Wu Gong sent a message that he had summarized the attendance rates of cinemas in various countries on the first day.
Wu Gong made a table of attendance rates and arranged them in order from high to low, which looked very clear at a glance.
The attendance rate was the highest in the United States, followed by some countries in Southeast Asia, and the attendance rate in Northern Europe was relatively low.
"Not bad!"
Although the attendance rate of "The Truman Show" abroad was far less than that in China, Tan Yue was quite satisfied.
This was the first time that Chinese films officially went global. Whether it was actors or directors, foreign audiences were relatively unfamiliar. The good attendance rate on the first day of the movie's release was achieved only by racking their brains and disregarding the publicity model of funds.
Tan Yue rubbed his temples, stood up and walked to the window to look at the scenery outside the window. The streets were busy with cars. Thinking of the global box office results, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
It was the first time that his movie was shown in front of the audience all over the world. It was hard to say whether it could achieve good box office results. There was no basis for reference. The only thing he could do now was to wait.
Waiting for the official website of the General Administration of Culture to update the box office data tomorrow.
However, what made Tan Yue feel a little comforted now was the attendance rate of "The Truman Show" in various countries. He began to look forward to it again.
If there was a good box office result on the first day, it would have a better impact on the box office results in the future.
The higher the box office results, the more audiences would notice it.
Tan Yue took a deep breath to keep himself in a stable state of mind. He believed that "The Truman Show" would definitely achieve a good box office result.
'Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong. '
Chen Ziyu knocked on the door and came in. Looking at Tan Yue standing by the window, he asked softly, "Are you thinking about the box office of the movie?"
Tan Yue nodded slightly.
Chen Ziyu took Tan Yue's hand and said, "Come here, I'll tell you something that will make you feel at ease."
The two sat on the sofa.
Chen Ziyu smiled and said, "Just now, a friend from abroad called me and said that she watched "The Truman Show" and thought it was very good. Since I received her call, she has been praising it non-stop, and she also said that she would like to meet you to talk about the movie if there is a chance. And the most important thing is that after the movie, everyone in the theater praised the movie. She also shared the movie on her social software, and many people commented below."
Tan Yue smiled and nodded, and the tension in his heart eased a lot, and said, "That's good."
If you want a movie to have a good box office performance, the most important prerequisite is word of mouth. Good word of mouth can bring a movie back to life, and bad word of mouth can also destroy a movie.
As long as "The Truman Show" has good feedback abroad, there is no need to worry too much about the box office.
Chen Ziyu took out his mobile phone and smiled, "Look at these screenshots, they are some comments she sent me."
Tan Yue's smile became even stronger.
Chen Ziyu's friends may watch "The Truman Show" with a filter, but other people in the theater are also praising it, and it can also be praised by many foreign netizens on social software. Everything is moving in a good direction.
Chen Ziyu said: "Don't worry too much, The Truman Show will definitely be a success."
Tan Yue smiled and nodded.
With the release of The Truman Show, in order to gain the first wave of popularity, film critics quickly posted their reviews online.
One of the critics, named 'Film World', praised The Truman Show highly.
"After watching The Truman Show, I feel like I have a lot to share with you."
"The protagonist lived in this environment for 30 years without knowing it, being set, restricted, and imprisoned. I remember that my mouth was always open in the cinema, so shocked. The plot is so bizarre, how could there be such a person!"
"But now that I calm down and think about it, I feel helpless and sad. In fact, we are all Truman, the only difference is that Truman eventually walked out of his world, while most of us will wander in it for the rest of our lives."
"Each of us lives in a set world, we can find traces of 'setting' in our surrounding lives, and we also have dreams that are difficult to achieve in the set world (Truman's Fiji), but we are like Truman in the first half, unable or powerless to walk out of our own world to pursue our dreams."
After the film review was released, it received likes and comments from many netizens.
"My reaction when I watched the movie was the same as the blogger. After watching the movie, I felt that I could only describe it as 'amazing'."
"I think The Truman Show is the best movie I have ever seen. This movie is worth pondering."
"The blogger really speaks for me. He said what I wanted to say. In fact, we are even more miserable than Truman."
"It is a rare good movie. If you haven't seen it, you must go to the cinema to watch it."
"Fuck, I haven't seen this movie yet. I wouldn't have read the reviews if I had known. I'm so cheap."
"The blogger's review is great. I give you this thumbs up."
There are more and more reviews about The Truman Show on the Internet. Wang Letian's fans began to rush to leave messages on Weibo.
As one of the most influential people in the film review industry, many netizens still want to read his reviews.
"Hurry up and write a review, otherwise the popularity will disappear."
"Why don't you write a review now? Have you not bought a movie ticket yet? I can find a way to buy you one, just to see your understanding of the movie."
"Such a good movie, don't you want to write something about it?"
"As a fan, I am starting to worry about you. The Truman Show is a very good movie. Hurry up and go to the cinema to watch it and write a review."
"I like to read your reviews. I just checked your Weibo after watching the movie. I didn't expect that you haven't updated it yet."
Just when netizens urged him to write a review quickly, Wang Letian responded.
But it was not a review, but an apology letter.
"First of all, I would like to apologize to the fans who like my film reviews. I understand your anxiety. I have watched "The Truman Show" and I have to say that it is a very high-quality movie. I have actually written the film review that all fans and netizens are concerned about. However, after revising it more than ten times, it still does not reach a level that satisfies me, so I will not publish it at present."
"I think "The Truman Show" will definitely become a classic movie that will be passed down. I can't write this film review easily."
"I promise here that I will definitely write a film review for this movie. I will go to the cinema to watch it several times until I write a film review that I am satisfied with. Thank you for your understanding!"
The excellence of "The Truman Show" can be seen from Wang Letian's caution and seriousness.
The next day, morning.
Brilliant Entertainment Company.
Yesterday was the first day of the world premiere of "The Truman Show". After arriving at the company, it naturally became a hot topic for everyone.
"How much do you think Mr. Tan's new movie will earn in the first day of global box office?"
"Mr. Tan's movie is of great quality, and the audience likes it. The box office performance on the first day should not be bad."
"The domestic box office performance will definitely not be bad. You should have seen the reports on the Internet. Many people can't buy tickets. But the foreign box office should be much worse. Just like "Around the World", domestic movies don't seem to be very popular abroad."
"I think Mr. Tan's movie should have better foreign box office than "Around the World". Our company has put a lot of thought into the foreign publicity. The publicity cost alone is not a small amount."
"I will see the box office results soon. I'm a little excited!"
President's Office.
Tan Yue put down the documents in his hand and opened the official website of the General Administration of Culture early, waiting for the update of box office data.
As for the domestic box office results, he is still very confident. With the blessing of his own box office myth, many audiences are willing to go to the cinema to watch it, and the quality of this movie is very high.
What makes him most nervous and uneasy is the foreign box office results.
Although the confidence has increased after learning about some good feedback from foreign audiences, it is the first day of release after all. No matter how large the publicity is, most audiences in the foreign film market still don’t know about this movie and will not choose to watch it at the first time.
Tan Yue picked up the cup and drank water to relieve the tension in his heart. He hasn’t worried about the box office for a long time.
Whether he can make a big splash in the world entertainment circle in the future, this "The Truman Show" plays a vital role.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the official website of the General Administration of Culture updated the box office data on time.
Real-time ranking of domestic movie box office:
First place: "The Truman Show", box office 523 million.
Second place: "Prosperity and Wealth", box office 179 million.
Third place: "Fu Lu Yuan", box office 85 million.
Fourth place: "The Bear and the Tree", box office 56 million.
Fifth place:
On the global movie real-time box office list, "The Truman Show" ranked ninth on the list with a score of 227 million US dollars.
On the first day of May, 35 movies were released worldwide. The global box office performance of "The Truman Show" ranked in the top ten, which is a very good result.
The entire Brilliant Entertainment Company became lively instantly.
"I said that Mr. Tan's movie would definitely achieve a good result, and sure enough! 227 million US dollars! Ranked ninth in the world!"
"It's five times higher than the box office of "World Travel". Mr. Tan is really amazing."
"This box office result is too good. "The Truman Show" actually achieved a box office of 153 million US dollars abroad. Suddenly I feel so exaggerated."
"Mr. Tan is awesome! Even abroad, it is still strong."
"It seems that the company's publicity strategy is correct. It can achieve such a good result in the global box office on the first day. Is this the right way to open up the foreign film market?"
"There is definitely no problem with our publicity method, but this is not the main thing. The most important thing is quality. The high quality of "The Truman Show" is the main reason for the high box office!"
President's Office.
Tan Yue's office.
Looking at the official website of the State Administration of Culture, Tan Yue took a deep breath and smiled. The foreign box office performance of "The Truman Show" has met expectations.
The efforts spent on overseas promotional plans were not in vain.
In fact, the early promotion of a movie is mainly to accumulate popularity for the movie, let more audiences notice it, and attract more audiences to watch it. After the movie is released, if you want to continue to attract audiences, you have to rely on word of mouth.
Tan Yue stretched his body, and his tense mood finally calmed down. The next step was to see the subsequent box office performance.
Mr. Wu had sorted out the mainstream public opinions about "The Truman Show" in various countries on the first day overseas and sent them to Tan Yue.
The overall reputation was developing in a good direction, which made Tan Yue more looking forward to the subsequent box office.
On the Internet, major media reported it at the first time.
"Entertainment Events": Congratulations to "The Truman Show" for its first day of release, with a global box office of 227 million US dollars!"
"Southern Entertainment": "The Truman Show" topped the domestic movie box office list with 523 million, and ranked ninth in the global real-time movie box office list with 227 million US dollars."
"Film Consulting": The May Day movie market is still hot, and "The Truman Show" won the first-day box office champion of the domestic movie May Day!"
"Hong Kong Daily: In the more competitive global film market, "The Truman Show" has achieved good box office results, and we look forward to its subsequent development."
"Jiangjiang Morning News": The highly anticipated new movie "The Truman Show" directed by Tan Yue has achieved excellent box office results on the first day of its release."
Less than ten minutes after the General Administration of Culture announced the box office data, "The Truman Show" could already be seen on Weibo's hot searches.
There was also a lot of discussion online.
"I originally thought that it was difficult for domestic films to have good box office results abroad, but I didn't expect to be slapped in the face by "The Truman Show."
"The Truman Show is the light of domestic films. I hope the box office results will get better and better!"
"When it comes to movies, we still have to look at Teacher Tan Yue. The Truman Show can actually rank in the top ten in the global box office. Come on!"
"Teacher Tan Yue is too fierce. He can get such a good box office result on the first day."
"He is worthy of being my male god. The box office results of the movie are still good when it is released abroad."
"The Truman Show is really good. I imagine it will be a big hit at the box office."
General Administration of Culture.
"It really didn't disappoint me. Haha, it has to be him."
Looking at the real-time box office list of global movies, Ye Wen smiled.
In terms of overseas box office performance, "The Truman Show" is much better than "Around the World", ranking in the upper reaches of the global box office list, and its box office momentum in China is even stronger.
Ye Wen is looking forward to the subsequent box office of "The Truman Show" abroad.
