Chapter 424 How Did Lin Xing Do It?

On April 3, the data network updated the box office.

The first-day box office of "Coco" reached 50 million, which is not low.

This box office is not bad, but the first-day box office of "Going to Heaven" reached 60 million.

Originally, the first-day box office of "Going to Heaven" could not be higher than that of "Coco", but it was really thanks to the reputation of "The Hunt" that it reached an unprecedented collapse. As a result, the golden show of "Going to Heaven" increased significantly in the evening.

You should know that in the past, the film schedule of the day would not be changed, but this time the theater really had no choice.

The market was quite deserted, and the theater really wanted to take advantage of this Qingming Festival to see if it could be saved.

You should know that the three movies of "Coco", "Going to Heaven" and "The Hunt" are all of good quality, especially "The Hunt" is almost half a mission bureau, so it is reasonable for telecom fraud themes to be watched in private theaters.

So although the overall screening of "The Hunt" is not as good as "Going to Heaven", its screening in the prime time is higher than "Going to Heaven".

This is naturally due to the publicity of Bohai Film and Television. They have the successful experience of the previous movie "Sunspots", and this time they let their theaters give all the good screenings to "The Hunt".

According to the current evaluation of Bohai Film and Television, "The Hunt" has a great chance of winning.

A small schedule, plus there are no big movies, what else is there to worry about at this time? ? ?

As a result, Bohai Film and Television really did not consider that "The Hunt" would collapse so badly, and they did not expect that the current film market is no longer a market where you can make hundreds of millions of dollars by covering your mouth and defrauding.

Look, after yesterday's thorough farce, the reputation of "The Hunt" is basically completely collapsed.

This collapse is on the one hand, the screening, and on the other hand, you seem to have many viewers who actually want to see how bad this movie is.

In this case, many bad movies basically do this.

But that was before, some bad movies could make hundreds of millions of box office as long as there were many stars.

But it doesn't work now.

No matter how many stars you use, it's useless, the audience won't buy it.

Because of this, the cast of "Hunting" was not very good, and the director Wang Feng was a newcomer. The script he wrote himself was not very good, and he didn't hire a reliable producer.

Some people in the industry even thought that Wang Feng must have been fooled.

You know, Wang Feng is obviously a Roman. This kind of person has a smooth life, and even his family has a lot of resources, so I'm afraid he is just picking up good things in the crew.

Not only that, if this novice doesn't have a good supervisor, or even a good producer, there will be too many pits.

In short, "Hunting" seems to be a scam from beginning to end, a pig-killing plate movie about a pig-killing plate, killing the audience.

Whoever watches the audience becomes a pig and is killed.

Think about it, who the hell is willing to watch a movie and end up being a joke? ?

Or it can be said to be a chain of contempt.

Because of this, the reputation of "Hunting" almost collapsed on the first day, or after three shows during the day, just like a runny nose that could not be stopped.

Therefore, "Going to Heaven" really has to thank "Hunting", because "Hunting" gave all the vomited screenings to "Going to Heaven".

And "Hunting" can be regarded as the first-day box office to help "Going to Heaven", otherwise "Going to Heaven" would not be able to win the first-day box office championship anyway.

After the first-day box office results on April 2 were released, everyone was shocked that "Going to Heaven" had achieved this result again, and on the other hand, everyone did not expect "Hunting" to be so bad.

Generally speaking, a drama like "Hunting" is also a big production, and the publicity and promotion are so high, so even if the reputation collapses, the first-day screening is also quite high, and the first-day box office must be 30 or 40 million.

But it was only 20 million.

This box office is really not a flop, it is directly setting a new record.

"The Hunt" is bound to leave a deep mark in the history of film in the future.

When people invest in movies in the future, they will definitely use "The Hunt" as an example.

That is, if you don't write a good script for a movie, no matter how many celebrities you invite or how much marketing you hire, it will be useless.

As soon as the first day box office came out, "The Hunt" was already a success.

"It really made me laugh to death. Lin Xing's value is still increasing."

"Who said it wasn't? Think about how many people said about Lin Xing at the beginning?"

"Yes, many people said that Lin Xing's emotional intelligence was not enough, but I think Lin Xing is responsible to the audience."

"Yes, what I dislike most now is that people always say that they are good at dealing with things. This often represents hypocrisy."

...

"I think you are all wrong. The main reason is that "Hunting" failed. If "Hunting" succeeded, then Lin Xing's reputation would be reversed immediately."

"Don't worry, it can't be reversed. Lin Xing's works have always been above the standard, so his reputation will not be a problem."

"That's right, who would have thought that Lin Xing could act in three art films in one go? And the box office of these art films was a big hit."

...

"A movie about the niche funeral industry can actually achieve this level of success. I now feel that it might really be able to earn 3 billion."

"It's hard to say. You have to know that the Qingming Festival only lasts three days."

"What nonsense?? 3 billion?? If "Go to Heaven" can break 2 billion in the future, I think it will be quite strong."

"Yes, but it is possible that "Coco" and "Up to Heaven" will both exceed 2 billion in the future."

…

When it comes to movie box office, it's often a matter of metaphysics, that is, you think the box office will be a big hit and it might be a hit.

But when you think the movie is going to be a hit at the box office, maybe it will be.

And the same is true this time.

For many people, "The Hunt" was bound to have a small box office hit, but they never expected that it would hit the streets so hard.

In comparison, everyone thinks that "Going to Heaven" is such a niche movie. It not only has a niche theme, but also many people think it is a special literary film. How can the box office be too high? ?

As a result, now, there is really nothing left to say.

It currently has a box office of 60 million on the first day, and it is currently predicted that the box office of "Going to Heaven" will be 1.5 billion.

Damn it.

In the past, many people thought that the box office of "Going to Heaven" would be difficult to exceed 100 million, but now the box office prediction is directly to exceed 1.5 billion.

The gap is really huge.

For all the actors in "Going to Heaven", they are naturally very happy at this time.

Today is the first day of the official road show. The premiere will start from Jiangcheng, and the official road show will start from Jiangcheng at the same time.

After the road show ended in the morning, Lin Xing and Zhang Mai were interviewed by the movie channel again.

"Lin Xing, did you have any expectations for the box office performance of "Going to Heaven"??"

Faced with the host's question, Lin Xing shook his head slightly: "I really didn't expect it. I didn't expect the audience would like this movie so much. This makes me believe even more that we should work hard to create content-rich works."

"Yesterday at the premiere, I said that you experienced life and really became a corpse plastic surgeon, and you even passed the exam?"

The host then asked: "Is this true?"

"It's true. I just wanted to experience the industry of plastic surgery and restoration of corpses more realistically, and I really overestimated my mental capacity at that time..."

Lin Xing said with a wry smile: "I refuted the rumors at the premiere yesterday. I'm really not that strong that I can just say it. I remember very clearly the first time I went to the funeral parlor with Feng Yun. I was just playing One move, but everyone vomited everything they ate..."

Many of the corpses were caused by abnormal deaths, and many of the corpses were in pieces, so people with weak psychological endurance were really not allowed to see them.

Lin Xing did not shy away from these, and he also said that he actually gave in a little bit.

"Actually, I've seen many people think that Lin Xing is too pretentious. Why do you have to work so hard to make a movie? In fact, that's not what it means, because I belong to the experience school. Since I want to shoot such a role, I just want to Learn everything about this industry…”

Lin Xing said with some emotion: "I hope that my character has vitality, and I hope that the audience will remember my character rather than myself."

This interview was shown on the movie channel in the afternoon.

Moreover, the movie channel not only interviewed Lin Xing, they also went to the funeral home where Lin Xing experienced life, and also met Feng Yun, Lao Wang, Wang Jing and others, and also found some videos of Lin Xing at work. .

In short, this time about the road show of "Going to Heaven", the movie channel directly broadcast it 24 hours a day. They wanted to follow Lin Xing throughout the whole process.

Think about it, Lin Xing has achieved many miracles in a row, so everyone wants to know what other miracles the movie "Going to Heaven" can achieve this time.

As for the movie channel, they followed the entire process. Not only that, they simply posted today’s interview without any filters.

Lin Xing also agrees with this point.

He felt that since it was an interview, it only mattered where it was said, and there was no need to create an interview script.

no need.

Many times, the more authentic an interview is, the more people will like it, or recognize it.

After all, every interview is done in a formal manner. In that case, you will really become a tool person.

And indeed it is.

"I checked, Lin Xing is really sincere, and he is not only sincere, he tells everything."

"The sixth princess's interview is still of high quality, and there is no routine at all. Most of the questions asked are direct, and Lin Xing's answers are also direct enough."

"Yes, I hate the kind of artists who clearly want to be popular but say they don't want to be popular. I even hate the kind of actors who clearly care about the box office but say they don't care about the box office. They are all so hypocritical."

…

I have to say, this time the movie channel’s interview with Lin Xing was really out of the ordinary.

Today is Saturday, the first day of the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, so many people flocked to the cinema.

Some people want to watch "Going to Heaven". This is a typical word-of-mouth effect. Because more and more people have praised this movie, many people want to go to the cinema to find out.

What's more important is that there are only a few movies in theaters during the Qingming Festival. If you want to take your children to watch "Coco", many couples watch "Today" and "If There's Another Life", and more people But he looked at "Up to Heaven".

Apart from anything else, every road show is actually a test for the crew.

Because many actors are not good at road shows, they often only know how to speak in a car when being interviewed, and they may become illiterate or act like celebrities.

As for Lin Xing, it's different.

From "Killing Arden" to "Sunspot" and now to "Go to Heaven", Lin Xing's road shows have always been extremely popular. You can feel his love for movies and his passion for characters. Understanding, and his recognition of the audience.

Just like some viewers expressed that they did not like the movie "Going to Heaven" and even felt that the movie was too sad and did not offer any healing. Lin Xing also understood this.

Because he feels that movies are not educational after all. Imagine if you watch a movie and you can change in various ways? Is it even possible to be kind?

That's nonsense.

Moreover, Lin Xing said that after a movie is finished, various interpretations are left to the audience. If you don't like this one, it's okay. I will try to make the next one like it.

Lin Xing is not like some directors. If you don't like the movie, you have a poor appreciation level.

In short, Lin Xing looks at the audience levelly. He neither tries to please the audience like some people, nor looks down on the audience like some people do.

At the road show, Lin Xing also had a great time talking about "Going to Heaven".

On the second day, the box office of "Going to Heaven" was released the next day, and as expected, it directly exceeded 100 million.

And it is firmly pressing "Coco".

Some people thought that once the Qingming Festival comes around, "Coco" will definitely overtake "Up to Heaven" at the box office.

The reason is simple, that is, parents take their children to watch movies during the holidays.

In this case, "Coco" will definitely be a box office hit.

The results were good. Although the box office of "Coco" exceeded 100 million on the second day, it was still far behind "Up to Heaven".

As for "Going to Heaven", the box office forecast has increased from 1.5 billion to 2 billion.

It's really ridiculously powerful.

Many people want to ask how Lin Xing did it? ? ?

Three literary films, one currently seems to be better than the other.

The most important thing is that the lineup of "Going to Heaven" is not strong at all.
