Chapter 709: Reverse assist in "Heroes of Fire"
Chapter 708 Word of mouth is broken
Everyone thought that "Infernal Affairs" was just lucky for a while, so the box office surpassed "Monster 2".
Even if it is more than three days, it is only because during that time, the discussion of "Infernal Affairs" is high, and the plot of a science fiction film such as "Monsters 2" is not necessary for discussion. At most, everyone can sigh the power of monsters or special effects. Awesome.
For this reason, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" is higher than that of "Monsters 2", but after the second week, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" still suppressed "Monsters 2".
did not just suppress one day or two or three days as everyone expected, but suppressed it continuously for a week!
A few days ago, it was probably because the online discussion of "Infernal Affairs" was higher than "Monsters 2", so the box office feedback of the movie was higher than the other party.
But after another week, the interest in discussing the movie has become much lower. The box office of "Infernal Affairs" still suppresses the other party, which is obviously not a question of movie popularity.
The bottom line lies in the quality of the movie. "Infernal Affairs" is the kind of classic movie that can be watched repeatedly, while "Monsters 2" is the kind of popcorn movie. Just watch it once.
This is equivalent to hearing a good song when we listen to a song. It may not be that amazing at first, but the more you listen, the more you like it. You can listen to it over and over again, and it will still sound good many years later.
There is another kind of song. When I listen to a catchy song, it is good at first, but after a period of time, I won’t listen to it again. Just like a saliva song, it can only be popular for a while, and it will disappear after a few years. There will be a new saliva song to replace this song.
And "Monsters 2" is like a saliva song. Although it is very exciting and not bad in all aspects, there are too many movies of this type in Europe and the United States. There will always be new ones, and people will gradually forget this movie.
In a few years, there will still be new similar movies appearing, everyone will still like to watch, but they will no longer want to watch "Monsters 2", just watch it once.
"Infernal Affairs" is that kind of classic song, no matter how long the time passes, it will not fade.
The strong box office of "Infernal Affairs" really surprised everyone, and at the same time ignited everyone's expectations for the Chinese movie.
Perhaps, Huaxia Movies can really defeat foreign blockbusters in the future! ?
Although the difficulty is very high, judging from the performance of "Infernal Affairs", it may not be impossible.
The two films each became the one-day box office champions for a week. It is reasonable to say that they are evenly divided, but in fact, "Monsters 2" is stronger. After all, the box office champions in the first week have higher gold content.
Or, "Infernal Affairs" exceeds the total box office of "Monsters 2".
refers to China’s movie box office. After all, "Monsters 2" is a film released worldwide, and "Infernal Affairs" is naturally incomparable.
Judging from the results of "Monster 2", the box office has reached 2.1 billion in the two weeks it was released, and the box office of more than 3 billion is not a big problem.
"Infernal Affairs" is 1.7 billion, the box office gap between the two has narrowed by 100 million, and the final result is about 2.5 billion!
This is still a prediction made under the condition that the single-day box office performance trend of "Infernal Affairs" is not bad, and it is a good evaluation result.
In the beginning, the final box office of "Infernal Affairs" given by the media was around 1.9 billion!
The longer the movie is released, the harder it is to increase the box office, and the harder it is to narrow the box office gap between the two parties!
Don’t talk about the time issue, just say that other new movies will be released during the schedule, which will affect the box office of the two movies.
In order to avoid the schedule of "Monster 2", everyone has switched off the release time. At present, the new movie in the theater has not been released, and these two movies are still the most popular.
But once a new movie is released, it will split a large part of the box office!
Furthermore, the total box office of movies for one schedule is so much, and the fluctuation is not big. The more box office a movie gets, the fewer other movies.
Based on this, everyone is not optimistic about the total box office results of "Infernal Affairs" surpassing "Monsters 2".
However, even if "Infernal Affairs" failed, it was also defeated by Yongrong.
At least, in the beginning, no one was optimistic that "Infernal Affairs" could cause such a sensation, Chen Mubai still showed his outstanding talent to the world!
Before, when everyone encountered a movie like "Monster", they would choose to avoid the strong period of the movie. Even general action and drama films have people choose to avoid the battle, just because they are afraid of competing in the same period and becoming cannon fodder.
Or unwilling to fight and lose the box office. Gradually, this has allowed many foreign blockbusters to dominate the China movie market and win a lot of box office.
Nowadays, Chen Mubai has sounded the clarion call for counterattack. Whether he wins or loses, he at least shows his blood, and it also represents the attitude of Huaxia Movies!
If Huaxia movies are strong enough, there will be fierce competition for foreign blockbusters in the future, and the timing of the screening should be considered. You will not get the highest row of films in every schedule, and get the most comfortable time. High box office!
At that time was the real court resistance, and it was also the time when the Chinese film industry was on the rise!
It is too early to talk about this, but Chen Mubai’s move is to plant a seed, a seed of hope!
"Mr. Gao, tonight is our film premiere." The vice president smiled and said, "Are you going to attend?"
As one of the investors of the movie, the senior executives of Starway will usually attend such occasions at the premiere of the movie. After all, this is a blockbuster movie, not a low-cost movie. This is also a way to stand for a movie platform.
"Yes, how is the promotion going?"
"Everything is going well. These days, the publicity has been increased." The vice president said with a smile: ""Infernal Affairs" and "Monsters 2" have been in theaters for two weeks. The topics and popularity have become much smaller. We will increase this time. The big publicity quickly took away the heat."
"Furthermore, the two films fought more seriously during the release period, and the rest of the films have nowhere to survive. Our film is the biggest movie in the near future. Next, if they choose to watch it, our film will be the first choice."
"Monsters 2" and "Infernal Affairs" are very popular. Before and after the release date of these two films, there are basically no other movies to fight with. Some of them are movies that have not been released in the previous schedule, or they are small costs. Production is the same on which schedule it is released.
The box office of the movie is basically won by these two films, and the audience is also considered to be aesthetically tired. At this time, the release of Starway's movie will inevitably attract the eyes of some audiences, and the box office will not be too low.
At this point in time, it was the day they chose to avoid "Monsters 2". If "Infernal Affairs" were released at the same time as them, it would definitely be a formidable opponent.
But unexpectedly, Chen Mubai directly faced "Monsters 2" this time, but it made them one less opponent, and everyone in Starway was very happy.
There is even a hint of joy in his heart. I really want to thank Chen Mubai for not forcing them this time, so that they can have such a good opportunity.
"Today is the premiere. Be sure to arouse the greatest enthusiasm, and then intensify publicity." Mr. Gao said solemnly. He didn't dare to relax at all, for fear that Chen Mubai might get in the way.
The box office of the premiere is very important to the movie.
The premiere performances like "The Master of Hypnotism" were not very good. Later, there were movies that relied on word of mouth to counterattack.
But very few, most movies can see the potential at the premiere.
As long as the premiere data is good, many viewers will subconsciously choose this movie when choosing a movie. After all, the high box office means that there are more people watching, so there are more people who like to watch, and the movie will be wonderful.
This is a complete set of logic. This is also the reason why the premiere of each movie is very grand. The box office of the premiere is too important!
"Okay, I'll do it now." The vice president nodded.
The investment in this movie is huge, and Starway is the largest investor. They invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and the entire movie’s production funds reached 150 million!
The actors in are all first-line actors, and the director is also a well-known director.
Originally, this movie was a blockbuster in the summer and received a lot of attention. In order to maximize the benefits, we deliberately avoided "Monster 2" to prevent it from being affected.
Now that this movie is about to be released, the popularity is still not low, and many netizens are waiting for the movie to be released.
This time, Starway is united and hopes to fight a beautiful turnaround!
In the TV field, they have been deflated many times. The "Angel Kiss" of the Spring Festival file made them a small profit and gave them confidence, so they invested again in the film field.
This time the investment is huge, and it is also a big bet.
In the early morning, the cinema was full of voices.
"Heroes of Fire" invested by Starway Entertainment is officially released!
The premiere ceremony, the stars were dazzling, a crowd of leading actors and senior investors attended the premiere. Everyone laughed happily and witnessed the birth of another blockbuster film.
There are many media reporters on site, even more than "Infernal Affairs"!
On the one hand, Starway has specially invited a lot of media to create a situation where the film is watched and welcomed. Tomorrow, there will be media reports and photos of the premiere.
On the other hand, because the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" was separated, Liang Wei and others were in charge of the premiere in Xiangjiang, and Chen Mubai and others were in charge of the mainland side, and he did not intend to do it in this regard. The article, the effect is naturally not as good as Starway.
The long-awaited movie by fans is finally released, and everyone’s faces are full of excitement.
Soon, the movie began.
When the movie is over, many people who walk out of the theater will inevitably have a look of loss on their faces.
Some people even scolded.
Originally at the beginning of the publicity, the movie "Heroes of Fire" had a big marketing stunt, depicting a huge production fund and a big scene.
The trailer is also very brilliant, it is thrilling to watch, so it has attracted the attention of many netizens.
As a result, after reading it, they found that it really didn’t work.
Blasting and gunfighting scenes are good, but the plot is badly wounded and the logic is unreasonable. It's like fighting for the sake of fighting. The pieced together scenes, in the juncture of life and death, also talked about love, which makes people speechless.
Originally, life and death was a tense moment, but the male and female protagonists fell in love directly. How could there be a bit of tension?
Except for some brain-dead fans, most people are complaining about this movie.
After watching the movie, everyone started to rate the movie and wrote film reviews, hoping that the audience who did not watch it would not be deceived.
On the bean sprouts score, the score is 6.1, which is still an inordinately high score.
"Really **** movie!"
"It feels like this movie is just to show off its skills. It pretends to do some advanced blasting shots. What's the use? If I watch your blasting, foreign blockbusters are better. Special effects are not as good as watching "Monster" What does this movie picture?"
"I ran away halfway through, too mentally retarded movie, all kinds of logic is missing, not rigorous at all."
"I hope these police action movies can learn more from "Infernal Affairs", don't think about the big scenes of gunfights and drag racing scenes, and work **** the plot. "Infernal Affairs" has nothing, isn't it exciting?"
"I was cheated by the trailer. I thought it was a very intense action movie, but finally told me that it was a love movie. The whole movie was a gunfight for the love of the male and female protagonist. It's not worth it!!!"
