Chapter 199 Progress

On the second day after the release, without additional funds for promotion, the box office increased so much compared to the first day with just such a small increase in film schedule?

You must know that the movie king and the movie queen joined Lap Detective, its next-day box office was just over 70 million, and the number of films scheduled was twice that of To the Moon. At that time, its box office was only 20 million more than To the Moon.

this situation

Everyone in the film industry knows what this means?

Jiuxiao Forum Film and Television Division.

A group of melon-eating netizens have already started laughing.

"Okay, us melon-eaters like to watch so-called big-budget movies being bombed by low-cost movies. This has not happened for more than a year."

"I haven't seen it before, but Crippled Detective is really rubbish. It's just those movie kings and movie queens who are helping to support the show, so I can understand the box office decline of Crippled Detective the next day. But anyway, these movie kings and movie queens are It’s impossible to lose the appeal to an original light novel, right? How do you feel about the box office growth of To the Moon?”

"You will know after you watch this movie. All I can say is that the plot of this movie is really interesting. In so many years of watching movies, this is the first time that I cried like a fool in a movie theater. It's the kind of movie you go to the movie theater to see. I’ve heard others say before that this movie is very tear-jerking, and I was mentally prepared for it, but when the plot came, I still couldn’t resist it.”

"That's right, brother, this movie is definitely an underrated movie during this long holiday. I can't say how high the box office will be in the end, but it is definitely worth watching. It's better than those in Dragon Kingdom with 3 billion or 4 billion during the Spring Festival. Box office crap is much better.”

"Is it really that powerful?"

"You will know if you watch it. I watched it twice this morning and now it is three times at noon. This plot is so amazing. Also, I recommend that you watch it at least twice after watching it. The second time is a completely different experience. There are many It takes two strokes of foreshadowing to understand.”

"The rating has increased to 9.7. This movie is so incredible! Isn't it possible that Cripple Detective can't beat this animated movie during this holiday season? The production cost plus promotion fee, Cripple Detective is at least four or five times more expensive than going to the moon!" If you can’t beat this, will the lame director Liu Da become a big joke in the industry?”

Audiences and fans in the film industry have naturally noticed the incredible changes in word-of-mouth ratings and box office of "To the Moon" during this period.

In fact, many people began to book tickets to go to the moon on October 5th, influenced by public opinion on the Internet.

As for Xia Yan’s fans

They actually got excited too.

There are many examples of movies adapted from popular novels of the Dragon Kingdom, but the performance of most works can only be said to be mediocre.

This situation is similar to the popularity of Dou Po, Douluo, and Xue Zhong in the parallel world after they were adapted into TV series.

The audience groups of the film and television industries are much larger than those of the novel industry. Relying solely on the support of fans of the original novel can only make the adaptation temporarily popular.

After a popular work is adapted into a movie, fans of the original work only serve as a lead to briefly ignite the discussion of the work. In the end, whether the popularity of the work will explode depends on the fit between the work and the tastes of the market passers-by.

The extremely high reputation of "Go to the Moon" and the repeated viewings of "Go to the Moon" fans at the premiere have clearly spread the reputation of this work among passers-by.

The major film media in Dragon Kingdom are also reporting on this.

[To the Moon, a movie about forgetting and promises. The real promise is the one that will not disappear as the memory fades. It is the one that is engraved in the deepest part of the soul! 】

[The night Xiaoxi and John met, the agreement she made with the boy in childhood healed her life. The pain caused by John's mother in childhood made John spend his whole life healing his childhood. To the Moon is a real dark horse in the October film market. 】

[Even if I forget everything, I will never forget my promise to come back to you on the moon. A fairy tale love story full of tragedy, To the Moon is a touching love movie that Dragon Kingdom must watch this year. 】

[Rating 9.7, the highest-rated movie in the past four years. (っ◔◡◔)っ】

Suddenly, news reports about going to the moon in the Dragon Kingdom film industry sprung up in just one day.

As for several big-budget movies in the October movie schedule, although there were many bad reviews from fans, they still gritted their teeth at this time and increased their promotional funds to put GG on major websites.

After all, you can trick someone into entering the theater.

Of course, the film industry in the Dragon Kingdom is strictly censored and will not be like the parallel world China. Some big-budget movies are "A" because the producers give distributors and theaters more box office shares. So theaters are also willing to support this movie "A".

So what if the audience just doesn’t like watching “A” movies? For example, if the audience buys a ticket for movie "B", but the theater gives him a ticket stub for movie "A", the movie actually played is still movie "B".

But the box office of the movie watched by this audience is counted towards the "A" movie. In this way, the audience watches the "B" movie they want to see, and the theater gets a higher box office share. The "A" movie makes more money from the box office. After all, it is stolen. box office of other movies. Only a world where "B" movie makers suffer is born.

This kind of thing existed in the Dragon Kingdom a few years ago, but now it has been directly eliminated.

There is no way to do too many tricks, so the rise of word-of-mouth box office for To the Moon has also put great pressure on several rival film producers. The reputation of their works is not good, but the reputation of the three big-budget movies has actually improved. , according to the principle of relativity, in fact, everyone is equivalent to not stretching their hips.

But in this case, it will be different if To the Moon, a movie with a somewhat explosive reputation, appears in the same period of the movie. At this time, everyone can only grit their teeth, increase the price and invest in publicity, and fight for the quality of the work head-on.

But in the next few days, the box office trend of the entire movie market was very strange.

Although it is a five-day holiday, the box office of movies actually released tends to be lower and lower.

Just like Lame Detective, the box office dropped to 63 million on the third day, to 50.4 million on the fourth day, and only 44.23 million on the fifth day.

As for To the Moon, although its reputation has exploded, the cost of the work and promotional resources, as well as the strength of the distributor, are here. The help to the box office based solely on word-of-mouth fermentation by fans is relatively slow.

On the third day of release, the box office was 47 million.

On the fourth day of release, 49 million.

On the fifth day of release, 41 million

Then on the sixth day of release, there were still 40.2 million.

The total box office in the six days of release was more than 220 million

this.

The production team of "To the Moon" of Sugar Man Film and Television Production Company was collectively confused.

Xia Yan was also confused.

With this box office trend, even though it didn’t win the daily box office title until the sixth day after its release, compared to its 40 million investment in production and promotion, what more could you ask for with a box office of more than 200 million in six days?

This movie is an absolute hit!

But after Xia Yan reacted, it was endless heartache.

"Damn, I lost money selling the movie rights."

The film adaptation rights of To the Moon were originally sold for four to five million. The price given by Tang Yin's father's "Sugar Man" Pictures was also the market price. Xia Yan didn't think much about it and signed the contract directly when he was in his senior year of high school. .

But now I think about it.

He also has an animation production company now!

He could have invested tens of millions of dollars, if he hadn't sold the rights to adapt the animated film "To the Moon".

Xia Yan thought for a while, but soon figured it out.

"But all the proceeds from selling the rights to adapt the Moon animation movie were invested in the production of Magic Circle!" Xia Yan shook his head when he thought of this and didn't bother to think about it.

This is a chicken-and-egg paradox. He seemed to have lost money on the movie rights to To the Moon, but he used the money to make the Magic Circle, and in fact made up for it from the Magic Circle.

School is also on holiday these days, and Xia Yan has been staying in his animation production company throughout the whole time to deal with the production issues of "I'll Wait for You in Seven Years" and "Cyberpunk: Edgewalker".

After all, "To the Moon" is not a movie directly produced by Xia Yan. Xia Yan will pay attention to the box office, but he will not spend too much energy on it.

However, this incident reminded Xia Yan that he should not sell the copyright of his works blindly in the future.

I was smiling when I received the money, but now I feel very sad when I see others making money. It feels even worse if someone else uses my work to make money than if I owe you a debt!

In the evening, Xia Yan was preparing to go home after finishing his work.

However, Tang Yin, the company's vice chairman, took the time to run to Xia Yan's office and looked at Xia Yan with a smile.

Xia Yan took a look at Tang Yin's outfit. She always wore black formal clothes in the company and looked confident and generous.

But at this moment, she put on a long black dress, her hair cascading down her shoulders, her fair face lightly painted with light makeup, her eyes clear, her lips red, and she also wore earrings, bracelets and everything else.

"What are you?" Xia Yan was confused for a moment and then asked.

"Are you going to meet your boyfriend? When did you become single?"

"Boyfriend?" Tang Yin's expression darkened.

"Why are you as annoyed as my dad? Whenever you see a girl dressing up, she must be going to meet her boyfriend?"

"That's not it?"

"Can't we go see dad?"

Um. Boyfriend, dad?

Xia Yan was a little confused for a moment, but he immediately reacted.

"Are you ready to see uncle?"

Tang Yin's father was also in Shanghai, but he lived in a villa in a wealthy area in the south of the city. It was a two-hour drive from the university town where Xia Yan's company was located. Tang Yin wouldn't go back for several months anyway.

"How are you preparing for today?"

Before Xia Yan could finish speaking, Tang Yin immediately interrupted Xia Yan's speech.

"Not just me, but you too." A smile appeared on Tang Yin's face, her eyes staring at Xia Yan.

"I?"
