Chapter 395 Saving the Market, Is This a Simple Goal?

On June 20, when the first-day box office of the Dragon Boat Festival was released, many people's first reaction was that the market was really saved by art films.

"Damn, I really didn't expect that the first-day box office of "Sunspots" would actually exceed 100 million!!"

"I really didn't expect that an art film would exceed 100 million on the first day."

"In fact, it should be expected. Apart from anything else, the reputation of this art film is very good, and Lin Xing's box office appeal is really strong."

...

"Although the movie "No Casualties" has been carried away, I think "Sunspots" may really pull the market."

"The market is slightly hot, and "Sunspots" has now exceeded 100 million on the first day. It may rise sharply in the future."

"Yes, I think so too."

...

At present, the first-day box office of "Sunspots" has exceeded 100 million, not only 100 million, but also 130 million on the first day.

This did not break the first-day box office record of art films, because there was an art film that defrauded 150 million on the first day.

But the final box office of that movie was not even 200 million.

It can be said to be a complete scam.

However, "Sunspots" is not. The current reputation of "Sunspots" is still very strong, and Lin Xing's acting skills are as strong as ever.

In this way, everyone even thinks that the box office of the next "Sunspots" movie may continue to refresh.

At the beginning, when Lin Xing was interviewed, he shouted a small goal of 1 billion. At that time, many people thought that Lin Xing was talking nonsense.

But I never thought that according to the current box office trend, "Sunspots" might really break 1 billion.

Even Lao Zhong was a little confused.

She just said that the two art films in the summer season could not save the market.

As a result, she did guess that the box office of the art film "No Casualties" was not very good, with only 10 million on the first day, but the first day box office of "Sunspots" reached 130 million.

To be honest, Lao Zhong thinks that it is not easy to get 50 or 60 million yuan on the first day box office of the movie "Sunspots".

Firstly, no one expected that this year's summer season would be so quiet. This quietness has led to many viewers having no interest in watching movies, and cinemas are about to close down.

Secondly, as everyone has been saying before, "Sunspots" is an art film, and art films are naturally niche.

An actor can't decide anything, and even a director can't decide anything.

What's more, Ning Ping is a big director, but this big director often has some good reputations at major film festivals and is praised by the industry.

In terms of passers-by's reputation, it is indeed average.

For this reason, Lao Zhong wrote that it is a typical mistake to use art films to save the market in this summer season.

But no one expected that "Sunspots" actually won 130 million yuan in box office on the first day this time.

Too strong.

Lao Zhong wrote directly on his Weibo: "I was slapped in the face. I should have continued to believe in Lin Xing, but I still can't believe this, because I think it's a bit too crazy that "Sunspots" won 130 million on the first day???"

Not only Lao Zhong, many people in the industry were amazed.

"Lin Xing made it into the movie industry so easily."

"Don't say it, everyone says Lin Xing is lucky, but to be honest, someone like Lin Xing is already quite strong in the TV drama industry, and he is even stronger in the movie industry."

"It depends on whether "Sunspots" can stabilize in the future. If it can continue to set a new high in the next two days, then this movie will really drive the market."

...

Currently, many people are discussing the movie "Sunspots", and even paid a lot of extra attention to it because of its 130 million box office on the first day.

Especially the halo that Lin Xing brings with him.

This halo is really very strong.

Because Lin Xing has won many awards in the field of TV dramas, many people want to see if Lin Xing will fail like others when he enters the film industry.

What no one expected was that the box office of Lin Xing's first movie after he broke into the industry directly exceeded 100 million.

The box office of art films exceeded 100 million, which made Lin Xing's first film debut a success.

Of course, even now many people still think that Lin Xing is just lucky.

There are too many coincidences for the box office of the movie "Killing Ading" to exceed 100 million.

It is precisely because of this that many people are watching Lin Xing's second movie, which is "Sunspots".

At the beginning, everyone thought that the box office of "Sunspots" might not be a big hit, after all, it is an art film, but since it is directed by Ning Ping, it may not be too bad.

Everyone reasonably inferred that if the box office of "Sunspots" can reach 100 million, it will be considered a success.

It is not easy for art films to exceed 100 million.

If you add Ning Ping's appeal, Lin Xing's appeal, Bohai Film and Television's publicity and promotion, etc., then it is normal to have 200 to 300 million.

500 million is an extraordinary performance.

Even Bohai Films dare not think of the 1 billion goal.

But in the next two days, the situation has changed.

On June 19, the first-day box office of "Sunspots" was 130 million, which also broke Lin Xing's new first-day box office record.

At this moment, everyone gave Lin Xing applause, and there was also envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Many people even said: "Lin Xing's last movie was due to luck, but this movie can't be said to be luck, right??"

However, those who question will still question, for example, Lin Xing is lucky enough to find a good team, and some still think that the box office of this movie is because of Ning Binh.

Ning Binh is a master of literary and artistic films, and he is the best at harmonizing commercial films with literary and artistic films. So his previous films have done well at the box office, but this time he is building on his accumulation.

There are many people who say this.

Next on June 20, the single-day box office of "Sunspot" reached 140 million on the second day after its release.

June 21st is Father’s Day.

Although many people are not very enthusiastic about Father's Day. After all, everyone thinks that men's consumption is not good, but even so, "Sunspot" still made a promotional song for Father's Day.

This song matched the scene of Zhao Xiaodao and several people becoming fathers in "Sunspot", and it actually moved many people.

With such publicity, the box office of "Sunspot" reached 150 million on that day.

In three days, the box office of "Sunspot" gradually and steadily increased.

Within three days of its release, the total box office of "Sunspot" exceeded 400 million.

The market is on fire.

Originally, the summer market lacked a head. Before "Sunspot" was released, the market was deserted for almost a month, and the movies released later were also not very good.

But this time, "Sunspot" finally saved the film market.

The entire "Sunspot" crew was really motivated.

"Based on this trend, I think 1 billion is really a guaranteed bottom line."

Liu Jing said with some excitement: "Axing, I want to apologize to you. Facts have proved that you see further."

Luo Yuan also said: "Yeah, I was thinking that it would be good if the box office of "Sunspot" could exceed 400 million, but I never expected that it would exceed 400 million in 3 days."

Even Ning Ping said with a smile: "I regret it now. I really should have asked Ah Xing to shout the slogan of 3 billion box office. What if this happens?"

This time "Sunspot" may set a new box office record, so Ning Ping is also a little happy.

As I said before, there is no film director who doesn’t like high-grossing films.

The reason why they make literary films is not because they don’t want to make money, but often they just can’t.

Directors in many circles are always like this. They look down on some high-grossing movies and think that these movies are just nonsense. They can just let them shoot them.

On the other hand, when they filmed it themselves, it was quite rubbish. Not only was it rubbish, but it was also completely disliked by the audience.

This is not uncommon in the circle.

This time, Ning Ping really has high hopes for the movie "Sunspot". He doesn't want to be mentioned only for one thing, which is that this guy is a master of literary films, and he is very good at literary films.

Then what? ? ?

It just didn’t do well at the box office and wasn’t liked by the market.

Ning Ping doesn't want this. He is different from Huang Ning. Huang Ning is a great director who has already earned more than 3 billion. He has proven himself.

Ning Ping has never proven himself.

Although people in the industry say that he somehow adjusted literary and commercial films together, one thing is that no matter how much he adjusted, he still didn't have a single movie that had a box office of over 1 billion.

Of course, let alone 1 billion, he has never broken through even 500 million.

Because of this, this time Ning Ping thought from the beginning about "Sunspot" that he could beat his own record at the box office no matter what.

He invited Lin Xing also because of Lin Xing's box office appeal. He didn't intend to look at acting skills from the beginning. Acting skills need to be adjusted by the director.

The result was good. Lin Xing's acting skills far exceeded Ning Ping's expectations. Now it's good, and the box office appeal is so strong.

Tomorrow, everyone will officially start the road show.

In the past three days, the crew of "Sunspot" has been promoting it in various movie theaters in the imperial capital, and it's like beating chicken blood.

After all, the box office is getting better and better.

Tomorrow is my working day, Monday.

By then, the box office of "Sunspot" will definitely be cut in half, but it doesn't matter anymore, because as of now, the reputation of "Sunspot" is no problem. Not to mention 500 million, even 1 billion Ningping feels that it can guarantee the bottom line. .

"Axing, I have to thank you. Your box office appeal is not that strong..."

Ning Ping drank a little too much: "Tomorrow we will start the road show together. Then we will do whatever you want to do with the road show."

"Director Ning, your words are so flattering to me. I don't have any box office appeal. Just like netizens said, I'm just lucky. I really have to thank you for everything. This is your box office appeal... …”

Lin Xing said modestly.

"Nonsense, if I have such box office appeal, how can I still let Huang Ning laugh at me??"

Ning Ping said directly with some displeasure.

All right.

Lin Xing knew that Ning Ping and Huang Ning were actually close friends, because the two of them had always been in different tracks.

But at a director's association event, Ning Ping and Huang Ning, as leading figures in both artistic and commercial films, naturally started a conversation.

It happened that at that time, Huang Ning's new movie "Infinite Beginning" was released and the box office was soaring, the reputation exploded, and the box office finally reached 3 billion.

Exactly like this, Huang Ning is proud of the spring breeze. He believes that literary and artistic films are connected with commercial films. He thinks that Ningping has gone the wrong way when making literary films, etc.

Anyway, Huang Ning said a lot, basically saying that you, Ning Ping, are not good at making films, that your approach to literary films is wrong, etc.

What nonsense? ?

It would be wrong if Huang Ning said that Ning Ping did not have a thorough understanding of commercial films. After all, Ning Ping himself recognized this.

The result was good, Huang Ning actually said that Ning Ping didn't know how to make artistic films? ?

You must know that the awards Huang Ning won are far less than those of Ning Ping, not to mention that Ning Ping is currently the only one in the field of literary and artistic films.

For this reason, Ning Ping became as angry as Huang Ning.

Is it true that a literary film is so easy to make? ?

Huang Ning even thinks that he can still succeed in making literary films. He believes that movies of any subject are similar.

At that time, what Huang Ning said the most was that the reason why art films had poor box office results was because you art film directors always moaned for no reason, and even forced you to make so-called dark and depressing films.

this is not right.

Literary films also serve the audience, they cannot be high-minded, and they cannot always try to export opinions.

In short, Huang Ning said a lot, but for Ning Ping, you are a commercial film maker, but you know nothing about literary films? ?

Naturally, neither of the two people can convince the other.

This time, Huang Ning's "No Casualties" was actually intended to prove himself and prove that in the industry, he can also do well in artistic films.

Naturally, Ning Ping knew it, but he was dissatisfied with Huang Ning's approach and his confident attitude when being interviewed, as if he was filming an artistic film and what others were filming was not.

Since "No Casualties" and "Sunspot" did not use popular artists, there was no so-called competition, and fans did not argue with each other. However, the previous disagreement between Huang Ning and Ning Ping was still dug out.

Especially this time, the box office of "Sunspot" has been rising for three consecutive days, and the predicted box office has even been adjusted from 1 billion to 1.5 billion. On the contrary, "No Casualties" has dropped directly to 160 million.

Of course, if you want to say that a literary film can break 100 million, it is very good, but you have to look at the lineup and the production cost.

The production cost of "Killing Arden" is low, so if the box office exceeds 100 million, it is really a big profit.

However, the production cost of "No Casualties" started at 100 million. At this time, the box office would not even reach 200 million.

Then he really rushed to grandma's house.
