Chapter 261 There are fishes in the North Ming Dynasty
"Crazy Ai Kun, People on the Road" was released on Friday to full theaters! 》
"Ai Kun continues to surge, Valentine's Day turns into two days! 》
"The Kun virus is raging and Valentine's Day has become a Valentine's Weekend!" 》
"The Magic of Ai Kun, Valentine's Day consumption data skyrocketed!" 》
"Rose + movie ticket, a must-have for couples!" 》
"Good news, the box office of Lost on the Road exceeded 20 million in its first week!" 》
"Shocking, On the Road" has a box office of 23.7 million in its first two and a half days! 》
By Monday, "Awkward" had completely taken over the entertainment pages, and countless media outlets published comments on their front pages.
Some discussed the plot, some discussed the shooting techniques, some discussed where to save costs, and some discussed how crazy Ai Kun is...
Of course, the most popular discussion is the box office.
23.7 million, which seems to be much inferior to the 30 million box office in the first week of "A World Without Thieves", and far less than the 74.5 million box office in the first week of "The Promise" last year.
However, the average ticket price of the former is half higher than that of "A Journey Away", and the latter is two and a half times that of "A Journey Away".
If calculated according to the average ticket price of "The Promise", then the box office of "The Journey" is close to 60 million, which is second only to "Kung Fu" with 64 million and "Hero" with 62 million.
Although this conversion has no practical significance, it is enough to prove the popularity of "Abandoned Road". After all, including "A World Without Thieves", these movies are all a combination of top directors + superstars.
Xu Kun's debut novel, which he became a monk halfway, can be compared with it by the media, which is already a huge victory in itself.
Based on the box office trend of "A World Without Thieves", some media optimistically predict that the final box office of "A Journey Away" may exceed 80 million.
However, there are also some media who are not optimistic about "The Journey". The reason is that most of Ai Kun and others have already contributed to the box office in the first place. It is likely that there will be a big dive like "The Promise" in the future, let alone 80 million by then. , it would be good if it can exceed 50 million.
Although this is pessimistic, it is already much higher than the initial judgment that it would be difficult to repay the money.
And while these media outlets are pessimistic, most of them also believe that no matter what, this film will definitely go down in film history and become a classic that has risen against the trend with a small budget - but this "small cost" is a bit unworthy of the name.
Huayi apparently has the same perception.
In the afternoon of that day, Wang Zhonglei flew to Shanghai specifically to find Xu Kun who was on the road show. He first congratulated "On the Road" for its success, and then said that Huayi would make every effort to make the box office exceed 50 million.
By then, he will be able to claim the title of ‘Sprinting towards the Billion Dollar Club’, and Xu Kun’s future prospects will be limitless!
"50 million?"
After Xu Kun heard this number, he couldn't help but laugh: "Second brother, have you read the comments online today?"
"Online reviews? Of course I read them. The reputation of our "Awkward Journey" is quite good! But the idea of exceeding 80 million is still a bit..."
"I'm not talking about media comments, but comments from ordinary netizens." Xu Kun intercepted Wang Zhonglei's words, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Forums, post bars, and movie groups, you might as well go and take a look. Take a look."
After saying that, he left on the pretext that he still had to attend the 'road show'.
Seeing Xu Kun chattering like this, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but feel curious, so he found a laptop and asked the staff to open the most popular Tianya Forum.
As a result, as soon as I entered the miscellaneous talk section, I saw several hot posts related to "People on the Road".
The one with an earlier date and more likes was posted yesterday, Sunday afternoon, with the title: "Blood and Tears Accusation, Never Take Your Girlfriend to See Someone on the Road!" 》
Wang Zhonglei originally thought it was negative news, but curiously clicked on it and found the following content:
[My girlfriend and I have known each other for half a year, and I originally wanted to take the opportunity to go further yesterday.
Who knew that this movie was so funny? I was watching the movie in the cinema without holding hands or kissing on the lips. After leaving the cinema, I couldn’t help but discuss the plot with my girlfriend, but in the end I was so confused that I My girlfriend was sent home!
Now that I think about it, it’s a huge loss!
This movie is really harmful. You must remember my lesson and choose a boring trash movie with your girlfriend - don't choose "The Road to Misfortune", don't choose "The Road to Misfortune", and don't choose "The Road to Misfortune". "People are on the wrong road"! 】
Many people are following this thread, and some of the more popular replies are:
【Holding hands? kiss? What kind of virginal operation is this? Aren’t the main performances always held in the evening? Let me tell you, the hotel was extremely noisy that night. Fortunately, my girlfriend and I were the loudest and most persistent group. 】
And dozens of people on this floor replied:
[That’s right, if you can’t get hard, using equipment is like this. The sound is loud and the time is long. 】
[I am talking about being a teenager and treating kidney deficiency. It does not contain sugar. 】
There is an endless stream of people making jokes like this, but there are also many people who responded and said that they would take the time to watch this movie that can make men let go of their sexual desires. How funny it is.
If this hot post is propaganda that goes against the grain, then another hot post just posted this morning is a deviant one.
"Ai Kun girl is God's best gift to singles!" 》
Wang Zhonglei originally thought that this was a post that was trying to sell someone else's meat, but after clicking on it, he found that the content was actually telling singles why Aikun girls are the best gift for singles, and how singles can get close to love. Kun girl.
The content of the post is roughly as follows: [If you want to pursue Andy Lau's fans, you need to memorize the works accumulated by Andy Lau for more than 20 years, including but not limited to TV series, movies, songs, famous quotes...
In short, if you want to show off in front of Hua Zai's fans, you must put in an effort that is no less than that of a senior in high school!
But for fans who pursue Xu Kun, you only need to watch 25 episodes of "The Boss", and at most review "Zhu Yuanzhang" and "Heavenly Sword Heroes" before you can have in-depth exchanges with Ai Kun.
And because most Ai Kun have already watched "Journey to the Road", there is a high chance that if you go there now, you will meet a die-hard fan who is a second-time or even third-time fan. This kind of girl is usually relatively 'simple' and comes from a wealthy family. The birth rate is also high.
Brothers, this price/performance ratio is simply incredible! 】
The author even thoughtfully gives success stories and points out the usual strike zones and taboos for Ai Kun fans, which is like a step-by-step guide to falling in love.
No wonder this post was only posted in the morning, but the number of replies has almost surpassed last night's hot post.
[The adoptive father is here, and the son will follow his adoptive father from now on. He will not hesitate to go through fire and water to help the adoptive father achieve a great cause! 】
[Master, I understand, I understand! 】
[Let’s show off, I’m Brother Kun’s old movie fan for 20 years! 】
[I only have one question, how can I catch up with Liu Shishi?
Reply: Draw your sword, Shi Shi is mine!
Replying to the previous post: Your sword is sharp, but my sword is not disadvantageous. 】
[Brother Kun is the role model of our generation, Shuang Feiyan, Liu Shishi, Shu Chang, Ning Jing, Yang Mi... If there is a woman, he is really attracted to her!
Reply: Fart, Shu Chang that is a rumor!
Reply: Fart, Liu Shishi’s story is a rumor!
Reply: Fart, the Shuangfeiyan one is real! 】
[Brother Xinkun, you can be single! Brother Kun is a real man, an iron-blooded man! 】
Wang Zhonglei flipped through a few more posts and gradually discovered the commonality of these posts, that is, these hot posts that had been sent out one after another since last night were all promoting male audiences - of course, there was no promotion targeting women. stop.
It's obvious that Xu Kun has eaten up the bonus from Ai Kun's girl, and wants to eat from Ai Kun's B0Y bonus!
In particular, the saying that "Brother Xinkun can leave the single world" spreads no slower than last year's Super Girl Li Yuchun's "Brother Xinchun can live forever".
It can work, this method should work!
Wang Zhonglei was so excited that he couldn't help but find Xu Kun and asked: "Kun'er, why are you hiding such a good idea? Why don't you just send it out early in the morning!"
"Second brother, are you confused and happy?"
Xu Kun said speechlessly: "If these male audiences hit the peak viewing period of Ai Kun, do you think they can buy tickets? What if they can't buy tickets for two or three days and just give up?"
Wang Zhonglei slapped his forehead and said with shame: "Yes, yes, it's true that I am happy and confused, but you are so careful that you have even considered these details - hahaha, it seems that 80 million box office is really not a dream!"
