Chapter 113 Box Office Explosion
In the next two days, Weibo was flooded with the movie "Detective Chinatown". Countless celebrities and artists who participated in the premiere praised the movie on Weibo.
Some self-media and film critics even wrote lengthy reviews praising the movie without giving any spoilers.
Of course, in addition to the good quality of the movie itself, some media and film critics took money.
At this critical moment, Gu Wei and the distributor will not be stingy and spend a lot of money to make the movie become popular before it is released.
Moreover, the quality of the movie is already good, so there is nothing wrong with a few words of praise, and the media can feel more at ease with the money.

Various news about movies on the Internet have aroused the curiosity of netizens.
On Wednesday, December 11, with everyone’s expectations, [Detective Chinatown] will be released nationwide.
Before this, the only movie with a relatively high box office this month was [Famous 2], which was released last week. After nearly a week of screenings, the box office continued to decline, with the single-day box office falling to less than 10 million, and the film schedule accounted for The ratio dropped to 16%.
The movie released last week, "No Man's Land" produced by director Ning Hao, was produced and distributed by China Film Distribution. After two weeks, the box office has dropped to more than 4 million in a single day.
My company’s movie box office potential has been exhausted, so I can naturally devote resources to [Tang Tan].
On the first day of release, thanks to the efforts of the three major distributors, "Detective Chinatown" accounted for 46% of the national film schedule on that day.
Although Wednesday is a working day, the screenings of "Tang Detective" are still packed in theaters across the country.
Countless fans of Gu Wei bought tickets to watch the movie immediately in order to support their idol.
Although "Tang Detective" is not a fan-oriented movie, it has enjoyed the benefits of traffic blessing.
"Director Gu, theaters across the country are now sending real-time data. The attendance rate of theaters in various places is very high. It seems that the first-day box office of the movie will give us a surprise."
Mr. Wang from Guangguang couldn't help but call Gu Wei and tell him the good news.
"It's all thanks to Mr. Wang and you for the announcement. As a publisher, Guangguang is indeed the most professional in the industry." Gu Wei was very happy, but he did not forget to give credit to Wang Changtian.
“Haha, this is what our lighting should do.
The most important thing for the success of a movie is the quality of the shooting.
Director Gu, see you next time Don’t forget the light when it comes to opportunities.” Seeing that the success of [Tang Detective] was a foregone conclusion, Wang Changtian did not forget to propose follow-up cooperation with Gu Weiti.
"Definitely."
Early the next morning, Gu Wei received a call from his agent.
"Mr. Gu, [Detective Chinatown] had a box office of 84.62 million on its first day, making it the national box office champion on that day."
Yang Liwen's voice was trembling, she was so excited.
The box office on the first day was close to 100 million, which means that the box office on the first day of release exceeded the investment cost of the movie.
If the reputation does not collapse in the later period, it is not impossible to exceed 1 billion as Gu Wei said.
"Okay, very good." Although he had expected it, Gu Wei couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the news.
He suppressed his desire to cheer
“Have the first-day box office data been sent out?”
“After it was sent out, it was immediately posted on On the official Weibo of the crew, the headline news in the entertainment industry today is none other than us!”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei threw the phone aside and excitedly threw himself at Zeng Li, who was still sleeping soundly.
To celebrate the release of the movie, the two of them stayed late last night.
She was so tormented by Gu Wei that she fell asleep next to him tiredly.
"Ah, what's wrong with you? It's so early in the morning, let me sleep a little longer~"
She opened her sparse sleepy eyes with a lazy expression on her face, like a dog that couldn't help but The big cat who can't wake up.
"Sister Li, [Tang Detective] had a box office of 84.62 million on its first day.
If we succeed, the movie will be a success." Gu Wei said to her excitedly.
"Really? That's great, Gu Wei, I knew you could succeed." This news was like a shot of stimulant, Zeng Li was no longer sleepy instantly.
Hands around Gu Wei's neck, looking at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to flow out.
So, with the help of the news, in the room early in the morning, the two of them continued the unfinished business last night.
There was another shouting at me contest, and Zeng Li was quickly defeated.
There was no way. She had spent too much yesterday and she hadn't recovered yet. As a result, she started another game halfway due to off-court factors, and naturally she was completely defeated.
However, she is still a very responsible person. With her dexterity and power of tongue, she ended this unexpected situation.
It was almost noon when Gu Wei came to the company.
Director Han from China Film Group called
"Gu Wei, congratulations on the movie's box office success!"
"Thanks to Director Han for your respect and support, I'm just lucky." Although Gu Wei was very happy, he was still very sober.
"You have the ability yourself, I just provided a little help.
I saw at the premiere that you said that [Tang Detective] was going to make a sequel? What do you think? Consider continuing. Would you like to cooperate with China Film Group? ”
Seeing that the movie is bound to be a hit at the box office, I started thinking about the sequel just one day after it was released. Although China Film is a state-owned enterprise, it is responsible for its own profits and losses to a large extent. Although it controls the channels for imported films, it still costs a lot to invest in new films every year and support domestic films.
Han Sanping also needs to consider China Film’s revenue.
Besides, as long as he can participate in the production and distribution of such films with good reputation and high box office, it will naturally be regarded as a political achievement of Han Sanping.
"Director Han, to tell you the truth, I do have plans to make a sequel.
Now that the movie is a hit at the box office, this idea has been strengthened.
But the script hasn't been released yet, so I plan to spend more time polishing the script.
After all, the first story told so well, I don’t want the sequel to ruin the reputation.
When the new movie is being prepared, the participation of China Film Group will naturally be indispensable. "
Han Sanping was very happy after hearing Gu Wei's words. Gu Wei had given him a verbal promise.
"Okay, you are right. The most important thing about the script is to read it well. preparation.
If you need anything, call me anytime. As long as China Film Group can do it, I will satisfy you. ”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei received calls from Guangguang’s Mr. Wang and Wanda’s Mr. Zhang respectively after a while.
The contents were similar. Congratulations to Gu Wei and He mentioned the sequel.
Gu Wei used the same words to deal with them.
The sequel of "Tang Detective" had to be filmed, but Gu Wei planned to wait.
And he's not just perfunctory with the three bosses. When the sequel starts filming, he plans to cooperate with them.
In the film industry, it is definitely not possible for one person or company to work alone.
Have you ever seen that the producers and distributors of big-selling movies in later generations have a long list of company names?
Only when the pie is divided well can the project be truly implemented. Those who think that as long as the movie is well made, it will definitely have high box office, they are too naive.
The pie in the entire film market is so big. If you get more, others will get less.
When you are alone, aren't you afraid that others will criticize you? What if they don't schedule films for you?
So Gu Wei has never been afraid of his allies coming over to share his achievements. As long as everyone works together to make the cake bigger, he will naturally share the most delicious piece.
How could the release of the movie "Tang Detective" be so highly scheduled and have such a great publicity effect without the help of the three major companies?
The next day, Thursday, [Tang Detective] had a box office of 78.56 million, a slight decline. Fans may have exhausted their energy.
But the good reputation of the movie has completely spread.
Two days after the movie was released, the Douban score was 8.4.
Countless viewers who have watched the movie left comments below, praising it as an unforgettable comedy masterpiece.
“I went to see the movie [Detective Chinatown] yesterday and found that it is really a conscientiously made movie, so exciting!”
“The plot is compact and full of jokes. Wang Baoqiang is so great. It’s funny, I give it full marks!”
“I originally went to see it with my girlfriend, who is a fan of Gu Wei, but after watching the movie, I announced that I will be a fan of Gu Wei from now on, the movie is so great. It’s wonderful, a perfect combination of comedy and suspense, fun and brain-burning~”
"In the end, the little girl's smile scared me to the point of peeing. In order to make up for my psychological trauma, I decided to subtract one point and give it 9 points~"
"."
On the third day of the movie's release, Since it was Friday, the box office did not fall but rose, with a revenue of 85.63 million.
In the past three days, Gu Wei continued to receive various congratulatory calls, and he also politely expressed his gratitude.
Sitting in the company's office a little tired, with his cell phone thrown on the desk in front of him.
He now feels a little like Lu Yang's feeling when the movie became a hit, and it was really the trouble of happiness.
The next few days are a critical period for the movie.
The fact that [Detective Chinatown] has such a high box office is partly due to the high quality of the movie and good reputation, and the good reputation it created through early publicity, but the most important thing is that it is a high-ranking film.
As of Friday, due to the high box office and high attendance rate, the movie theaters' schedule for "Tang Detective" has accounted for 57% of the total movies in the country.
Of course, "Tang Detective" did not disappoint the theaters. Friday's single-day box office accounted for 72% of the country's total single-day box office.
The national single-day box office on Friday was 118.9 million, and "Tang Detective" was 85.63 million. The remaining 33 million was taken by "Famous 2", "No Man's Land" and two Hollywood movies "The Two Heroes" and "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire". 】Divide.
Based on this ratio, the film schedule of "Tang Detective" will increase even more over the two weekend days.
At this time, there is really no opponent on the market that can compete with [Tang Detective], which is why its film schedule is so high.
Wait until next Thursday, December 19th, Feng Xiaogang’s movie [Private Customization] will be released.
With his status and past performance, theaters will definitely give him high-ranking films, which will naturally squeeze the living space of "Tang Detective".
Therefore, if you want to hit high box office, these days are particularly important.
