Chapter 567: 450 million in the first weekend
The script has always been Zhou Yan’s strength.
Kenko Kobayashi has been paying attention to Zhou Yan's movies very early. Since his first movie "The Piano Boy Who Want to Fly", the script has always been very excellent.
There is one thing that is very valuable. All Zhou Yan's movies and scripts were written by himself, which most directors cannot do.
Many good directors have suffered from the script and made many mediocre movies.
Of course, the script is just the basics. With a good script, you need a lot of other things to make a good movie.
A director's abilities include many aspects, and different types of directors have different abilities.
Zhou Yan's comprehensive ability has definitely become stronger and stronger in recent years.
As a commercial film, the rhythm of "Traveler Love in Time and Space" has almost no shortcomings.
And Zhou Yan's movies cost more money than the other.
Being able to spend money does not seem to be an advantage to ordinary audiences. Ordinary audiences will think that a good director just needs to spend a small amount of money to do big things? What's the point of spending money?
But in the eyes of professional film critics, it is indeed an amazing skill for directors to spend money.
Spend money does not mean simply spending the money in your hands, but spending every penny where it should be spent so that every penny can be spent meaningful.
Some directors, if you ask him to make a movie with a budget of several million, he can make a good shot, but if he gives him tens of millions, he may not be able to make a good shot.
If it were analogies to chefs, these directors could only make some home-cooked stir-fry, but they couldn't make big meals.
The movie "Traveler Love in Time and Space" has many places to spend money, but basically the effects are all made, especially in the wedding scene, so some shots must have spent a lot of money.
The money for the wedding scene was naturally not in vain, and the effect was indeed very good.
Although it was only the first time I saw this movie, Ken Kobayashi could already think that the wedding scene would become a classic scene.
…
When the movie was over, warm applause came from the theater.
While applauding, Hattori Jiro said to Takeuchi Takashi next to him, "Takeuchi, congratulations, the box office of this movie will definitely not be bad."
Chattori Company has cooperated with Zhou Yan a lot, not only Zhou Yan's movies, but also his concerts and concerts at Qingyinfang. They are all agents of Takeuchi Entertainment. Takeuchi has had several dealings with Hattori Jiro.
This premiere, Takeuchi Takashi specially arranged Hattori Jiro to sit next to him.
"Thank you, thank you, we don't care much whether you make money. The most important thing is to introduce good movies to neon so that everyone can see them as soon as possible."
Jiro Hattori smiled after listening to Takeuchi singing a high-profile song, "Thank you so hard, and movie fans will definitely thank you."
In fact, Yingfeng was scolded to death some time ago because these fans of Neon believe that "Traveler Love in Time and Space" should be released at the same time as mainland China.
Even if it cannot be released at the same time, it should not be postponed for too long. One or two weeks is the limit they can tolerate.
Who knew that "Traveler Love in Time" was only released on Neon more than three months after it was released in China, and of course everyone was not satisfied.
The cooperation between Yingfeng and Zhou Yan is known to many fans, so they blamed Yingfeng Company for the reason, believing that their company is not doing its job well.
Of course, Yingfeng is not innocent. They are indeed not proactive enough in this matter.
If Yingfeng started to contact Tang Chen when the movie was first filmed and planned the release of the movie in Neon, then the release time of the movie in Neon would definitely be long ahead of schedule, and it would not be impossible to release it simultaneously with mainland China.
But the film was launched too quickly, filmed too quickly, and released too quickly, Yingfeng hasn't even reacted.
When Yingfeng Company knew that this movie was going to start, the movie was going to start. At that time, Yingfeng Company thought that the movie had just started, and it would take a lot of time to shoot, and it would take a lot of time to go to the later stage. There was a series of processes later, so they had plenty of time to contact Tang Chen.
Who knew that everything happened so quickly.
When they go to contact each other, the movie will be released, and then there will naturally be less time left for them.
It’s not that they have negotiated cooperation with Tang Chen, and then they can put the movie on Neon, and they still have a lot to do.
After the lights in the cinema started, Zhou Yan also stood up and turned around to thank the audience.
Although today is not a serious premiere, Zhou Yan is used to it. After the movie is finished, he greets the audience.
At this time, the host came over and gave Zhou Yan a microphone, which meant to ask Zhou Yan if he wanted to say a few words.
In fact, there was no such link at all, but since Zhou Yan came, he didn't come in vain. So he took the microphone, waved to the side, and called Li Jingfei and Li Naiwen up.
He also wanted to find where the translator was, but after looking around, he didn't find it, so he called Shizuka Kudo.
Seeing Shizuka Kudo, applause broke out again at the scene, and someone shouted Shizuka Kudo's name.
Shizuka Kudo held the microphone and smiled, "I'll play a guest appearance as a translator."
Then she said to Zhou Yan and the others in Chinese, "See you guys, please say hello to everyone."
The three of them greeted the audience respectively, and Shizuka Kudo asked again, "Director, do you have anything you want to say to the fans?"
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "In order to make this movie come out on Neon, all of us have made efforts. Fortunately, our efforts were not in vain in the end, so that "Time and Space Love Traveler" can meet Neon fans. Everyone here has watched the movie, and I believe you have their own comments in your heart-"
"You say less at a time, I can't translate it." Kudo Shizuka rolled her eyes.
Some people at the scene could understand Chinese. When Shizuka Kudo said this, they laughed. Those who didn't understand Chinese were all confused and didn't know what was going on.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Then you translate what you said just now."
After Kudo Shizuka finished translating, Zhou Yan continued, "Although the male protagonist has special abilities in the movie, in fact, he is just an ordinary person and there is no difference between you here."
...
After briefly talking about the expression of the movie, Zhou Yan talked about some interesting things that happened during the filming of the movie, and especially depicted the scenery at the end of the scene.
After the release of "Time and Space Love Traveler" in China, the scenery at the end of the festival attracted many people's attention. Now the end of the festival is no longer as deserted as before.
Before, due to the entry of the crew of "Time and Space Love Traveler", the transformation of the end of the venue had accelerated, because when the movie was still filming, it had already attracted a lot of attention, and more tourists went to the end of the venue.
And the local government also knows that after "Traveler Love in Time" is released, there will definitely be a relatively high wave of popularity. The sooner the local supporting facilities are built, the more you can get the popularity.
At the end of the current situation, food, accommodation and entertainment are no longer comparable to those at that time.
This time "Traveler Love in Time and Space" is released on Neon, and it may also attract some neon tourists to travel across the country.
After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he asked Li Jingfei to say a few words to Li Naiwen and the others.
Because they know they are supporting roles, everyone may not like to watch them, so they didn't say a few words.
After that, there is no other link, today's premiere is over. When Zhou Yan walked off the stage, Sakai Izumi, who was sitting in the second row, leaned forward and said, "Zhou Yanjun, congratulations, this movie is very good, and the box office will definitely be very good."
Zhou Yan couldn't understand the neon words either, so he turned to look at Kudo Shizuka next to him, meaning that he wanted her to help translate.
Shika Kudo said reluctantly, "She said your movie was OK."
As soon as Zhou Yan heard it, he knew that the translator of Kudo must have had a private product, but he could also know the general meaning based on the tone and expression of Sakai Izumizu.
He smiled and replied, "Thank you."
This time, Shizuka Kudo did not make trouble and translated it seriously.
Sakai Izumi looked at Kudo Shizuka gratefully, and said with a smile, "Shika, can you help me get a ticket to the Zhou Yanjun Forbidden City concert? I really want to watch it, but I don't know where to buy the ticket."
When hearing that Sakai Izumi wanted a ticket, Kudo Shizuka's eyes turned and said, "You don't need to ask him about this matter, I can help you."
Sakai Izumi said in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course, but it may not be the most forward position."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can go in and listen, the location doesn't matter."

Shizuka Kudo smiled, "Don't worry, I will try my best to find a better location for you."
"Thank you so much."
"No need to thank you. When the ticket is completed, I will call you to tell me."
"Well, okay, then I'll say goodbye first." "Okay, bye." "By bye." Sakai Izumi waved to Zhou Yan with a smile.
Zhou Yan said strangely, "What did you say?"
"She said this movie is very good, she likes to listen to the songs in it, and there is nothing else."
Zhou Yan didn't believe it very much, because Sakai Izumizu clearly showed a surprise expression just now. Looking at Akina Nakamori's laughter next to him, he was even more convinced that Shizuka Kudo was fooling her.
It seems that in the future, you have to learn some neon language, otherwise you will suffer a loss with these two.
After Sakai Izumi left, many people came to congratulate Zhou Yan and some media reporters wanted to interview Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan did not refuse the request for these reporters to interview, and led them to an empty place and accepted their interview in a concentrated manner.
But this time, Zhou Yan did not ask Shizuka Kudo or Akina Nakamori to help with the translation, but instead found the translator arranged by Yingfeng Company, and he was also worried that the reporters would ask randomly.
In addition, he also pulled Li Jingfei and Li Naiwen, so that they could show their faces on Neon Media more.
…
Zhou Yan stayed in the neon until April 15th, and left after celebrating Shizuka Kudo’s birthday.
The next day after he returned to Yanjing, on April 16, he received a call from Han Sanping.
As soon as the phone was connected, Han Sanping laughed loudly and said, "Good news!"
As soon as he heard him say good news, Zhou Yan knew it was related to the box office of "Traveler in Time and Space" at Neon.
"Was the box office of Neon's first weekend come out?"
"Well, the first weekend's rationing revenue was 450 million."
When Zhou Yan heard this number, he was also surprised, "So much?"
When "The Sixth Sense" was released on Neon, the first weekend's rationing revenue was 310 million. It sounded like the gap between the two was not particularly exaggerated.
But the problem is that "Traveler Love" was released on Saturday, with only three days on the first weekend, one less than when "The Sixth Sense" was released.
Average this, the average daily ration income of "The Sixth Sense" on the first weekend was more than 100 million, while the average daily ration income of "The Traveler in Time and Space" on the first weekend was 2.25 billion.
Thus, the difference between the two is more than twice.
At that time, the box office of "The Sixth Sense" was already very good, and this time, "The Traveler in Time and Space" doubled, so even Zhou Yan was surprised.
"Yes, I have confirmed it repeatedly, it's just that." Han Sanping was in a very good mood. "If you count this way, this movie is in Neon, and the rationing income may exceed 3 billion."
Zhou Yan nodded. According to this data, the ration income of "Space-Time Traveler" may indeed exceed 3 billion.
If it really exceeds 3 billion, "Traveler in Time and Space" may become the champion of Neon's annual box office list, because last year, Neon's highest-raised movies were only more than 3 billion.
Of course, it is difficult to get the first place for more than 3 billion this year, because "Jurassic 2" and "Independence Day" will be released later.
In addition, there is also a "Princess Ghost" that is uncertain when it is released.
The rationing income of these movies is likely to exceed 3 billion.
But no matter what, the box office of "Time and Space Love Traveler" is likely to refresh the records of the discourse films released on Neon again.
It is worth mentioning that this record was obtained by "The Sixth Sense" than "Plan A".
It didn't last long, and it was about to be broken by Zhou Yan himself.
And the momentum of "Traveler Love in Time and Space" is likely to continue to rise.
In fact, the box office revenue of "Traveler in Time and Space" at Neon has nothing to do with Yanjing Studio, but Han Sanping is still happy about it. After all, he handled this movie. The better the movie performed internationally, the more bright his face was.
Next time people talk about the highest-grossing Neon movie, they will not talk about "The Sixth Sense", but "Time and Space Love Traveler", and "Time and Space Love Traveler" is his project and his political achievements.
Zhou Yan could understand Han Sanping's mood. He smiled and said, "It's too early to guess the specific box office, but it should be better than "The Sixth Sense". "Haha, how long do you guess you can surpass "The Sixth Sense"?"
Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "It's going to take ten days to two weeks."
"Well, I guess it's about the same." Han Sanping agreed, "I'll go prepare and wait until the record is broken, we'll hold a celebration banquet."
"Uh, third brother, are these celebration banquets a little frequent?"
Han Sanping laughed, "Who says the movie is good?"
