Chapter 415
"Is the box office okay?" Bai Yangyu stood next to Guan Fei and rubbed his hands. The breath he just exhaled seemed to freeze.
"Well," Guan Fei nodded, not trying to hide the joyful expression on her face: "Today's box office exceeded 100 million, which is not bad."
If this were an ordinary schedule, breaking 100 million would definitely be an achievement worth celebrating.
But Bai Yangyu is also an insider, and he knows that the current National Day box office sales are upwards of 300 million.
Moreover, the early announcement of "Fortress" was very large, coupled with the golden lineup of Zhou Yiyang and Moonlight Girl. Now it has only exceeded 100 million, and the results are not ideal.
"It should be due to the subject matter," Bai Yangyu began to analyze calmly: "And I just took a look at the professional film reviews on Weibo, and the scores they gave are actually quite high. If you search in real time, it is actually difficult to find those that are reasonable.
Well-founded negative reviews. In other words, the audience still recognizes the quality of this movie."
"There are not enough movies scheduled," Guan Fei said rationally: "The duration is still too long. Compared with the two comedies that are only one and a half hours long, the scheduling manager must like the latter. And judging from the box office on the first day
, everyone is still quite cautious about science fiction movies, for fear that they will be bad movies."
Compared to the two of them who were worried, Zhou Yiyang was actually the one with the best attitude.
From his point of view, the box office on the first day doesn't mean much.
Although "Fortress" is only ranked third at the box office, its discussion in public forums is far stronger than other movies.
This shows one thing, netizens are still enthusiastic about science fiction movies.
However, several fraudulent science fiction films in the past few months have made audiences suspicious of this genre.
This is the same as when he made "Moonlight". At that time, everyone thought that youth movies were unrealistic and illogical.
Later, everyone discovered that there were actually hot-blooded youth films, and the negative reviews were reversed.
Since you plan to be the first to eat crabs, you must be prepared to face this kind of prejudice.
Zhou Yiyang was well prepared. He calmly responded to all the WeChat messages that showed concern for him, and found some WeChat messages full of positive energy from these complaints.
Due to the time difference, it is still morning in the United States, but Liu Fenfang still sent an exciting message to Zhou Yiyang.
The current pre-sales of "Fortress" have far exceeded the expectations of their professional institutions, and it is very likely to win the box office championship of the day.
If this comes true, then "Fortress" will make history.
In addition to the United States, Asia and Australia, where the time difference has little effect, have also released box office data.
Goryeo adopts the method of ranking movies based on the number of movie viewers. "Fortress" broke the record of Chinese movies in Goryeo. Some media even predicted that "Fortress" may exceed one million moviegoers and become a movie
A member of the Korea Million Club.
The response to "Magic City Fortress" in Japan was much better than Zhou Yiyang expected, but the direction they liked was rather strange.
He saw from the screenshots of tweets sent to him by the staff that many Japanese people liked the plot of aliens impregnating earthlings, and many artists even started to create related fan creations.
At that moment, Zhou Yiyang felt that it was indeed the Japan he was familiar with.
"What an unexpected direction," Zhou Yiyang sighed before going to bed: "This movie is actually quite popular overseas."
However, he is still very confident about the domestic box office. He believes that domestic audiences will definitely accept this movie.
In the following two days, the box office growth rate was indeed in line with Zhou Yiyang's expectations.
"Magic City Fortress" was recommended in turn by these big bloggers on Didili, Weibo, and Douyin, and they were all spontaneous.
Even a tough guy like Zhou Yiyang was a little touched and wondered if he should give them some love.
"Brother Yang," Guan Fei called Zhou Yiyang excitedly, but Zhou Yiyang directly guessed what she wanted to say: "Our box office has really made a counterattack! It seems that there is no problem in getting back the original!"
"
Zhou Yiyang's expression was quite complicated when he heard this. He looked at the box office predictions of "Fortress" on the ticket purchasing websites, and couldn't help but remind her:
"The cost of our movie should not be as high as you think. Even if it is based on the agency's conservative prediction of a box office of 2.5 billion, after deducting various costs, we should still be able to make a lot of money."
"Aren't I excited?" Guan Fei laughed: "But Brother Yang, is it possible for this movie to win awards?"
For Guan Fei and many Yuesao fans, they have always believed that domestic film festivals do not want to see Zhou Yiyang.
In their opinion, the quality of "The Godfather" is completely worthy of winning awards, but in the end, it still missed the three gold medals.
Zhou Yiyang naturally knew what Guan Fei meant and said with a smile:
"It's not as complicated as you think. You can't say for sure when it comes to luck. It may just not be the taste that the judges like."
"It doesn't matter," Guan Fei shrugged: "We all have our own fit film festival, and awards are not important. At the worst, Brother Yang, you can award yourself a lifetime achievement award in the future."
"Pfft," Zhou Yiyang was immediately amused: "That's great, I decided to give it a try!"
The four members of Yuesao did not track the box office at all. For them, how could this rare day off have anything to do with work?
However, when they read Weibo every day, they will still subconsciously see relevant news.
For example, Tang Yue saw it. When she saw the news that "Fortress" won the Spring Festival championship, she was in a state of shock.
"Hey, Mom, our movie won the Spring Festival championship?"
Compared to Tang Yue, Tang's mother was not surprised at all: "Isn't this normal? All the good sisters in my circle of friends brought their families to see the show."
"Really?" Tang Yue was still stuck in the situation where the box office was suppressed by comedy movies on the first day. "I didn't even know."
"So you don't care about your job," Tang's mother said with a smile, "Winning the championship, what good will it do to you?"
"I can get more money. If I'm lucky, maybe I can get nominated in some film festivals?" Tang Yue didn't care: "Hey, these are not important. It would be great if I could stay for another month."
Wang Xingrui, Lin Xuan'er and Su Yin have all said this in the past few days.
In fact, they were so busy working every day that they didn't realize it. Only after they really returned home did they feel the warmth of home.
