Chapter 319 6 hours 830W
In order to let the audience understand the movie "Terror Cruise" as soon as possible, Wang Shu was worried.
Science fiction films have always been niche films.
Even in Hollywood, it took decades of development and the sci-fi boom in the 1980s to become one of the mainstream popular themes.
Even so, it is still a niche among the mainstream.
Except for a few sci-fi movies such as "Star Wars" that have exploded, other sci-fi movies are either on the way to being popular or on the way to being popular.
It’s only 2007, and China’s science fiction movies are completely blank.
With less contact with the audience, the audience group will also be smaller.
The main reason for the success of "Love Traveler" directed by Wang Shu is not science fiction, but a commercial art film that combines various factors such as philosophy and comedy.
Coupled with the stunning setting of time travel, and the domestic audience's relatively wide audience for love and philosophy movies.
Immediately, success.
"Terror Cruise" is different. This is a film with a brain-burning and suspenseful reincarnation setting.
Too avant-garde for the Chinese-speaking market in 2007.
Just like Chen Kaige’s classic saying, no one will understand it within ten years.
In the original timeline, domestic science fiction films such as "The Wandering Earth" can be accepted by the public because the domestic audience has been baptized by Hollywood superhero science fiction films or other types of science fiction films, and gradually became aware of science fiction films. What is it, the audience expands as a result.
Moreover, since there have been no outstanding science fiction films in China, many ordinary viewers are holding their breath.
"The Wandering Earth" came into being.
This is 2007, not 2019. There is a difference of 12 years.
In an era when Chinese-language science fiction films are blank and have a small audience, it is still quite difficult to make a film that is more science fiction-oriented achieve a high box office.
Fortunately, Wang Shu has now gained a reputation.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
With his name, he can naturally attract audiences into the cinema.
Next.
At the same time as "Terror Cruise" was released, a soft article appeared on Sina.com.
The title is: Inspiration from "Terror Cruise".
Content: 1. People should pay attention to integrity and keep their promises.
People who are accustomed to breaking their promises will one day make irreparable mistakes, such as deceiving someone they cannot afford to offend, and then suffer the consequences.
2. The greatness of maternal love.
Gong Li in "Horror Cruise" usually has a bad temper towards her son, but in order to save her son, she can choose to go to the purgatory horror cruise again and again, and no matter how many times, every time Will make the same choice every time.
3. There is no regret medicine in the world. Even if you were to do it over again, you would still make the same choice.
As long as you have no memory of experiencing these things, even if you do it all over again and face the same situation, you will still make the same choice, because you are who you are.
So don’t regret your previous decisions, because it is precisely all your previous decisions that make you unique. We just need to learn lessons, let ourselves grow and change, and make better choices next time.
4. Life will fall into a vicious cycle, it must be because of your own obsession.
Correspondingly, when we find that our lives have fallen into a vicious cycle, the way to get out of it must be to let go of our obsessions.
If you are in a cycle, it is difficult to break out of it, but by letting go of your obsessions, breaking your old ideas, learning new knowledge, and bringing in outside help, you can easily break out of the vicious cycle. Jump out.
5. Always look ahead when driving.
No matter what happens, never turn around and chat with the people in the back row. Doing so is very, very, very dangerous.
This article was quickly reposted on Tianya, Tieba and other places, causing many netizens to watch and make pranks.
As the saying goes, black and red are also red.
Even if it was a spoof, some viewers who had watched the movie found that it was indeed what was said after comparison, so they couldn't help but rectify the name of this soft article.
With the help of this tap water, some people who have never seen the movie or do not understand the movie are becoming more and more curious about "Terror Cruise".
Even if they are fighting for a breath, they all go to the cinema one after another.
After Wang Shu, Gong Li, Liang Jiahui, Zhou Xun and others finished interacting with the theater audience, their work came to an end and they separated and returned to their respective homes.
"It's so late, do you need me to take you back?" Wang Shu looked at Zhou Xun beside him and asked in a low voice.
He knew that Zhou Xun was dressed up today and her team had always been with her.
Therefore, no matter how late the time was, there would still be a driver taking Zhou Xun back, so there was no need for him to bother.
However, it was precisely because he knew this that Wang Shu asked.
In this way, he not only shows his attentive and caring attitude, but also does not need to actually drive Zhou Xun.
In short, Zhou Xun can feel the care and warmth just by moving his mouth.
Zhou Xun was in a good mood today. After hearing Wang Shu's words, she tilted her head and thought about it, then pursed her lips and said, "Okay!"
"." At this moment, Wang Shu was confused.
Fortunately, his expression management ability was also online, and he instantly smiled back at Zhou Xun.
When he wanted to come, because Zhou Xun’s team was always there, if he asked like this, Zhou Xun would most likely refuse.
I didn’t expect that this guy didn’t play according to the routine.
Zhou Xun then thought for a moment, today is the day when "Terror Cruise" is released, and there will definitely be paparazzi attention. It would be a bit uncomfortable to travel alone with Wang Shu without the team, and then said: "The time is quite good. It’s late, why don’t you ask Sister Shanghai Wei and the others to go have a late-night snack together before going back?”
Although there had been a dinner party before, actors such as Zhou Xun rarely ate much in order to avoid problems with their future work, and could only take a few bites at most.
Now that I am tired from work, I feel a little hungry.
When Wang Shu heard what Zhou Xun said, he thought about what he had said before about inviting Zhou Haiwei to dinner, and then smiled and said, "Okay, let's go have supper together."
Zhou Xun After hearing Wang Shu's promise, he immediately ran to explain to his team, and then asked Zhou Haiwei to change into plain clothes in the car and set off together.
Gong Li, Liang Jiahui and others have left one after another before, and now only Zhou Xun and Zhou Haiwei are left.
Together, the three of them found a place and ordered some late-night snacks.
“I wish “Horror Cruise” a big hit!” Zhou Haiwei smiled and raised his glass.
Seeing this, Wang Shu and Zhou Xun raised their cups to clink with him.
Zhou Haiwei has an immune disease, so he can only drink less alcohol under normal circumstances.
It’s just that when she was in Hong Kong Island, she not only learned to drink, she also loved drinking.
Today is a happy day, and Wang Shu did not dissuade him.
After all, it’s useless to persuade him.
After a few glasses of beer, Zhou Xun and Zhou Haiwei began to stop pretending.
Zhou Xun took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, handed it to Wang Shu, and asked with a hint of his eyes: "Want one?"
Zhou Haiwei also looked at Wang Shu at the same time, He neither persuaded nor stopped him, he just stared with big eyes.
"." Wang Shu pushed Zhou Xun's hand away speechlessly, knowing in his heart that he wouldn't smoke. Zhou Xun and Zhou Haiwei would feel uncomfortable if they wanted to, so he immediately said, "You guys can smoke if you want, don't worry about me. "Zhou Xu and Zhou Haiwei looked at each other, stopped pretending, showed off their cards, and one after another skillfully lit cigarettes.
In an instant, smoke filled the air.
The three of them then chatted about the movie and their own trivial matters. After eating and drinking, the meal ended.
Zhou Haiwei lived far away, so instead of letting Wang Shu see her off, she took a taxi and went home first.
After watching Zhou Haiwei leave, Wang Shu looked at Zhou Xun beside him and said softly: "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Zhou Xun returned Wang Shu's smile and followed him silently. behind.
The two sat in the car. Due to drinking, Wang Shu became bolder naturally. He looked at Zhou Xun who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly pulled her to his side and kissed her. .
"Farewell~" Zhou Xun also drank. In addition, today is the big day for the premiere of "Terror Cruise". She felt a little grateful to Wang Shu for giving her the role, so it was just a symbolic resistance. For a moment.
Poop. No more resistance.
Although the heroine of "Terror Cruise" was originally her, it stands to reason that she would have some emotions in her heart, but this is not the case.
Because the actress who replaced her is Gong Li. Not only is her celebrity status much higher than hers, but also with Gong Li, an international movie queen, "Terror Cruise" can be released not only in China.
There can also be markets abroad.
Although Gong Li's international market is not that good, it is not comparable to Zhou Xun.
In short, Zhou Xun is now like Zhang Ziyi who starred in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Although she is not a heroine, she may be able to make a mark in foreign markets with the help of Gong Li's international status.
If it were her starring in the film without Gong Li, it would not be able to make any waves internationally.
Perhaps he was really drunk and today was the day when "Terror Cruise" was released. Zhou Xun just resisted at the beginning and then allowed Wang Shu to do anything.
I didn’t refuse even when my clothes were taken off.
Wang Shu noticed this, and then
Just as he started to take off his pants, Zhou Xun's cell phone suddenly rang.
The ringing of the cell phone made Zhou Xun regain some sense.
She glanced at Wang Shu, took out her phone and looked at it, then made a silent motion towards Wang Shu before answering.
This call was from Zhou Xun’s stylist boyfriend. After she answered the call, she said while getting dressed: "Send me back."
Wang Shu was standing aside Inevitably, I overheard some conversations between the two of them, and seeing that Zhou Xun's eyes were serious, he immediately got dressed in silence, then started the car to take Zhou Xun home.
Wang Shu drove the car, and Zhou Xun sat in the passenger seat and looked ahead. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
It didn't take long for Wang Shu to arrive near the community where Zhou Xun lived.
Zhou Xun suddenly said: "Just stop here."
This is on the roadside, still some distance from Zhou Xun's residence.
"Okay." Wang Shu didn't say much. He responded and stopped on the side of the road.
Zhou Xun got out of the car, showed a smile to Wang Shu through the car window, and said: "Be careful on the road."
Wang Shu also smiled back and said, "Don't worry."
Zhou Xun nodded and said, "Then I'll leave first."
"Yes." Wang Shu responded. He shouted and drove away at the same time.
Zhou Xun watched Wang Shu drive away, then turned and walked towards the community where she lived.
“Alas!”
As she walked, she sighed.
Earlier, if the phone hadn’t rang, I might have had an in-depth communication with Wang Shu in a daze.
Fortunately
Zhou Xun was a little annoyed that he had made a mistake by drinking, he had almost died before.
On the other side, Wang Shu scratched his head, originally.
Unexpectedly, one phone call directly caused the atmosphere to disappear.
“Looking at Sister Xun’s appearance, I’m afraid she will still be the same in the future.”
Wang Shu understood Zhou Xun’s look.
He knew that if he had another idea next time, it would definitely not be like today.
I returned home with a sigh, washed up and slept until dawn.
May 1st, Labor Day is here, and the seven-day long holiday is here.
In Yishu Company, some employees are on vacation and some are on duty.
When "Terror Cruise" is released, someone will definitely need to follow up. There is no way around it.
Wang Shu arrived at the company at ten o'clock in the morning, and Zhou Xiaofa immediately reported to him the box office data of "Terror Cruise" yesterday.
830W.
"Terror Cruise" was released at 6 o'clock yesterday evening and ended at 12 o'clock.
6 hours, 830W, is already an excellent result.
Although the 830W figure is only a rough figure calculated by various theaters across the country overnight, it is still a very good result no matter what.
It is undeniable that when "The Golden Armor" premiered, it earned more than 20 million at the box office in just 12 hours.
"Terror Cruise" is slightly inferior in comparison.
However, "A City of Golden Armor" is a movie directed by Zhang Yimou.
In this era, the name Zhang Yimou has great appeal.
As for Wang Shu, after all, he only debuted for two or three years. Even though he has produced many works, he is still a newcomer.
Whether it is box office appeal, national popularity, or status in the industry, it is not as good as Zhang Yimou.
"Horror Cruise" stars Gong Li as well as "The City of Golden Armor". It is normal that the movie's opening box office is not as good as "The City of Golden Armor".
The opening data of "Terror Cruise" on the first day is really inferior to Zhang Yimou's "City of Golden Armor".
6 hours, 830W is indeed not low, it is already a result that many Chinese films can’t match.
Compared with "City of Golden Armor", it is not as simple as more than 20 million in 12 hours, but more than 10 million in 6 hours.
Because the box office data of "The Golden Armor" from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock in the evening is not too high, the majority of the revenue of more than 20 million in 12 hours was after 6 o'clock in the evening.
Therefore, if we only count the data from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m., "Terror Cruise" is far inferior to "The City of Golden Armor".
However, the opening of "Terror Cruise" on the first day is not as good as "The City of Golden Armor", which does not mean that there is no possibility of surpassing "The City of Golden Armor" in the follow-up.
This is because the reputation of "The Golden Armor" after its release was not good, and it even reached the point where the leaders of the Film and Television Bureau came forward to endorse it.
The high box office success is all due to Zhang Yimou and the luxurious cast, coupled with the overwhelming publicity.
Therefore, if the reputation of "Terror Cruise" develops in a good direction, combined with Wang Shu's name and an equally luxurious cast.
Its follow-up box office is likely to surpass "The City of Golden Armor".
