It's past midnight.

The first-day box office data of "The Wandering Earth" is out - 228 million!

In the domestic film market, before Shaoyang entered the scene, a first-day box office of over 100 million was considered a hit, let alone a first-day box office of 228 million.

Everyone in the industry knows it.

With the current reputation and influence of "The Wandering Earth", major theater companies will increase their film schedules in the next few days, and the box office will definitely rise steadily in the future.

As a competitor of "The Wandering Earth", "Time Traveler 2" had a box office of 80 million on the first day. After it was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, compared with the reputation of "The Wandering Earth", this film was called by Peng Ming

The masterpiece "Time Traveler 2" has also become a joke.

There are even many screenshots of chats about the two movies online.

"I went to see a movie today."

"I went to see it too."

"What are you looking at?"

""The Wandering Earth", this movie is really awesome... By the way, which one are you watching?"

""Time Traveler 2"."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"..."

Not to mention that "Time Traveler 2" is not as good as "The Wandering Earth", the vast majority of viewers said that this second part is not even as good as the first one.

The first film at least looks like a science fiction film in every aspect.

The second part turned out to be a plot about a fight between earthlings and alien creatures. Although the special effects were good, they were just special effects.

in other ways.

No matter in terms of plot design, creativity, theme, etc., this movie was crushed by "The Wandering Earth".

After leading the people in the company to watch "Time Traveler 2", Peng Ming proudly put on a mask and randomly interviewed a few grievances who had just watched "Time Traveler 2" in the cinema.

One of the buddies was asked by Peng Ming: "What do you think of this movie?"

This guy directly cursed: "This is shit."

Peng Ming's face turned green when he heard this.

But it's not easy for him to have an attack in a movie theater.

When he returned to the hotel and saw the domestic box office on the first day, his first reaction was just that he was disappointed. But when he found out that the box office of "The Wandering Earth", which was also released during the Spring Festival, reached 228 million on the first day, he was completely disappointed.

People were not well at that time.

"Why is there such a big difference?"

"Why is there such a big difference!"

Peng Ming couldn't figure it out at all. It was obvious that "Time Traveler 2" had already laid the foundation for "Time Traveler 1". It was obvious that the second part increased investment and replaced actors with more famous names. It was obvious that he spent a lot of money to film it in China.

publicity.

Why is the box office disparity so big?

Peng Ming doesn’t understand movies at all. He believes that foreign countries should be at least five years ahead of domestic movies in science fiction movies. As long as investment is in place, the box office will definitely not be low.

He never expected that the gap would be so big on the first day. The first-day box office of The Wandering Earth was more than twice that of Time Traveler.

He immediately called Lucas, the film's director.

2pm US time.

Lucas answered Peng Ming's phone call.

"Lucas."

"Peng, how was the box office of "Traveler 2" on its first day in China?"

"Less than 80 million."

"Dollars?"

"rmb."

Lucas wondered: "How come there are so few?"

Peng Ming was furious and burst out.

You made the movie.

The box office is low, do you still have the nerve to ask me?

Peng Ming did not say this directly. He said: "I don't know. Anyway, I have already done all the promotion I should do. How is the box office of this movie in the United States?"

"Uh..." Lucas said weakly: "It's not ideal. So far, the box office has been US$24 million."

"Only twenty-four million? Lucas, what's going on? Why is it so low?"

Lucas said: "There have been too many science fiction films released in the United States in the past two years. Maybe the audience is tired of it, but didn't you say that science fiction films are very popular in China? Why is your box office so unsatisfactory? You guys

There are 1.3 billion people.”

"I told you before, Shaoyang also made a science fiction movie, which was released yesterday."

"Shao?" Lucas paused and asked, "How is his box office?"

"228 million."

"228 million!!!"

Lucas was shocked and said: "How is this possible? Is it possible that he made another "Wolf Warrior"?"

"No, it's a science fiction film, and it has a very good reputation in China."

"Science fiction movie?"

Lucas wondered: "Can China make a science fiction film?"

Peng Ming asked: "Lucas, please think of a solution quickly. If this continues, we won't even be able to recover the cost."

"Now that the movie has been released, I'm not very clear about the specific situation on your side, but there is one thing we have an advantage over."

"Which point?"

"'Time Traveler 2' was released simultaneously around the world. Our global first-day box office must be higher than that of Shao's movie. You can promote it on this point."

Peng Ming fell into deep thought.

"Peng, I have something else to do, so that's it for now. Goodbye."

"Lucas."

"Lucas!"

"Hey, hey, grass mud horse!"

Peng Ming hung up the phone angrily, and he couldn't sleep well that night.

He made a successful investment in "Time Traveler 1" and made a turnaround.

In "Time Traveler 2", he also bet everything he had on making Mingyu Media bigger and stronger.

But according to the current trend, it is very likely that he will not even be able to recover the cost of investment. If this is the case, then his career will hit the bottom again.

Didn't sleep all night.

Early the next morning, Peng Ming came to the company early. At nine o'clock in the morning, he called the public relations department to the conference room for a meeting.

…

really.

After a large number of positive reviews appeared online.

All major theater chains have increased the number of screenings of "The Wandering Earth". In many theaters, more than 60% of the screenings are for "The Wandering Earth", but even so, the theaters are still full.

This time, Shaoyang didn't even bother to take the actors to the road show. He just asked a few of them to conduct a live broadcast to chat with the audience about the filming of the movie online.

Shaoyang also plans to hold a live broadcast later to chat with fans.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The official account of Time Traveler Movie suddenly posted a Weibo message to celebrate the box office of "Time Traveler 2" exceeding 300 million.

After Shao Yang saw this Weibo, Shao Yang was a little confused.

The box office of "Time Traveler 2" did not exceed 80 million on the first day. How could it be possible that it exceeded 300 million at two o'clock in the afternoon on the second day? What the hell are you bragging about?

Shaoyang clicked on the picture below on Weibo and realized that it turned out that the picture celebrating the box office exceeding 300 million also contained the word "Global", but these two words were shrunk, making it difficult to see at a glance.

The global box office exceeded 300 million.

Oh.

Is this a word game for promotion?

But so what?

It’s true that pre-sales of a movie mainly rely on publicity, but after the movie is released, it mainly relies on word-of-mouth from the audience.

You are released worldwide.

I only show it in China.

But so what?

Just compare to the box office.

I will fight the whole world with the power of one country!
Chapter completed!
