Chapter 566: A big hit at the box office
After the premiere ceremony, [Wolf Warrior 2] became even more popular.
The news media present praised the film in all aspects on the news page the next day, and the film critics who were invited to the scene also wrote their comments on [Wolf Warriors] on their Weibo. 2] Favorable movie reviews.
After the premiere, theaters in major cities across the country, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Shenzhen and other places, have also successively launched screening activities for "Wolf Warrior 2".
Wu Jing and Gu Wei each took some of the main creators and divided their forces into two groups to go to the target city to run road shows and hold fan meetings.
Deep city.
“Feedback from theaters shows that [Wolf Warrior 2]’s national film schedule will probably reach 20% on the first day of release tomorrow, and it will reach over 50% on the second day on the 28th.
Currently, there is only one movie on the market, "The Founding of an Army", which was released at the same time as us on the 27th, but their market feedback is far less than ours, and they are not very competitive."
The road show is over, Yang Dan and Gu Wei Reporting on the film schedule data after its release.
The reason why the film schedule on the first day was only 20% is because Wu Jing requested that [Wolf Warrior 2] be released at 8:01 pm on the 27th to pay tribute to the Army Day.
There is only 4 hours of screening time on the first day, but there is a 20% film scheduling rate throughout the day. In fact, during this short period of time in the evening, most of the films scheduled in movie theaters across the country will be for "Wolf Warrior 2".
“How is the feedback from the screenings in the past few days?”
“Although Douban has not yet divided, according to feedback from the company’s marketing department, the current public opinion on the Internet is basically one-sided.
In addition to the news media and film critics, many viewers who watched the screening posted comments online praising [Wolf Warrior 2].”
Gu Wei nodded.
Although after he joined, [Wolf Warrior 2] has received far more attention than the original time and space.
But after all, the plot is somewhat different from the original version, and he is still a little unsure whether it can achieve the results of the original time and space.
But now it seems that everything is developing in a good direction.
The quality of the movie has improved compared to the original version, but the original intention has not changed. It arouses the audience's patriotic feelings and is more popular with everyone.
“Where are the directors and the others now?”
"Director Wu and Teacher Yu Zhan and his party should go to Guangdong today. According to the plan, they will go to Shancheng tomorrow."
"Everything that needs to be done has been done. The success or failure depends on tomorrow."
"Don't worry too much. The reputation of our movie is so good and the popularity is so high. It will definitely sell well!"
Zhang Tianai looked gentle. She went on a road show with Gu Wei and a publicity team. These days Tian Ye could tell that Gu Wei was worried about the future performance of the film.
Gu Wei has shot so many big-selling movies and has always been full of confidence. He has never been as worried about gains and losses as he is now.
"I understand, we will definitely succeed." Gu Wei turned his head and gave Zhang Tianai a reassuring smile.
No one will know what he is worried about at this time.
If this version of [Wolf Warrior 2] has a final box office of 2 billion or 3 billion, then everyone will think that this movie will be a hit.
Only Gu Wei himself knows that if the final box office cannot exceed 5 billion, it will be him who is holding him back.
After all, the performance of "Wolf Warrior 2" is too high, almost reaching the box office limit of a single film in the domestic film market.
Gu Wei never thought that his participation would bring the box office to a higher level.
It’s not that he is not confident. The scale of the domestic film market is so large, and there are only so many people watching movies. No matter how strong his box office appeal is, he cannot conjure more audiences out of thin air.
For the films he has made in the past, the original version had a box office potential of 1 billion. He is confident that he can rely on his appeal to increase the box office by 500 million or more, because the market has potential, and Gu Wei's personal reputation is so high It has also been established over many years of continued success.
It can call on more audiences to enter the cinema, thereby increasing the box office performance of the film.
But [Wolf Warrior 2]’s box office performance is too high. Almost all the viewers who can watch it have seen it, and many have even watched it twice or even three times.
No matter how famous Gu Wei is, it can only make the box office data in the early stage of the movie's release better. He himself is not confident whether it can make the final box office results even better
But he can't help it. Tell anyone.
Now if it is said that the target box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is 5 billion, then everyone will think that he is talking nonsense. Even director Wu Jing may only currently expect the movie's box office to be more than 1 billion.
Time flies and the 27th comes soon.
[Wolf Warrior 2] will be released on time in theaters across the country at 8:01 p.m.
Beijing Wanda Cinema.
“Hurry up, I finally grabbed the tickets online!”
“You just have free time. If you can’t buy it now, just watch it in a few days. It’s a movie. That’s all”
“What do you know, this is Gu Wei’s first action military film, and the reviews online have a very good reputation!”
“It’s okay if those little girls like Gu Wei. , why are you a man chasing stars?”
"What about chasing stars? I just like the movies and TV series produced by Gu Wei. His movies have never let me down. Watching movies based on his reputation will definitely not be a loss. They are definitely not bad movies. At least they are worth the money." "Price"
At 8:01, "Wolf Warrior 2" is shown in several halls of the cinema at the same time. There are still 15 minutes left, and a long queue has formed outside the cinema.
At the sales window, the staff selling drinks and popcorn are also always busy.
The ticket check began, and this wave of spectators entered the venue one after another, and the flow of people in the hall instantly decreased a lot.
"Wow, it's only Thursday, why are there so many people!" After filling the last customer with drinks and popcorn, the young man in uniform breathed a sigh of relief.
"What else could it be? [Wolf Warrior 2] is coming out.
Which of Gu Wei's movies is not like this?" the colleague next to him replied.
“With so many people, are all the movies tonight full?”
“Well, the attendance rate is almost 100%.
Tomorrow is Friday, and then It’s weekend, we’ve been very busy these days.”
On the 28th, in the hotel room.
The ringtone of the mobile phone woke up the sleeping person.
"Yes, I understand. Today we will continue as planned. I will discuss it with Director Wu later to see if we need to extend the trip."
Gu Wei hung up the phone and put his phone Throwing it aside and waving vigorously, the excitement in his heart could not be concealed.
Then he lowered his head and kissed Zhang Tianai hard on her pink and white face.
".What's wrong? It's so early in the morning."
Zhang Tianai, who was still sleeping soundly, was woken up by Gu Wei's big move. He frowned slightly and muttered with some dissatisfaction.
“[Wolf Warrior 2]’s box office exceeded 100 million in the first four hours, reaching 146 million yuan. The current real-time box office has exceeded 200 million, and it has only been less than 12 hours.”
"Really?
Our movie is going to be a big hit!"
Zhang Tianai was originally drowsy and sleepy, but he immediately became energetic after hearing Gu Wei's words.
She has been making movies over the years and knows exactly what this data represents.
In 2016, the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" that she participated in sold a box office of 2 billion yuan, and the box office on the first day was only 190 million yuan.
[Wolf Warrior 2]’s box office exceeded 200 million in 12 hours. As long as its reputation does not collapse, it is entirely possible that its final results will surpass [The Richest Man in Xihong City].
“A big sale is certain, it just depends on how far it goes.”
"Isn't this result better than your movie [Tang Detective 2] last summer?" Zhang Tianai suddenly asked curiously.
“Indeed, it is better than the initial results of [Tang Detective 2].”
“Can our [Wolf Warrior 2] box office exceed 3 billion?” Zhang Tianai was a little bit Unbelievable.
Currently there are only two domestic movies with a box office of over 3 billion, [Tang Detective 2] and [Mermaid].
If [Wolf Warrior 2]’s box office exceeds 3 billion, it will become the third highest-grossing movie in the country.
"Haha~ There is no problem with more than 3 billion, but you might as well be a little bolder."
Zhang Tianai thought for a while after hearing what he said, and then shook his head.
“Three billion box office is already an astronomical figure to me. I really don’t dare to think of it being higher.”
Gu Wei smiled, turned around and pressed Zhang Tianai under him.
“.Ugh. It’s so early in the morning, why don’t you get up? Don’t delay today’s schedule”
"I just checked the time and it was too late~
How can we not celebrate such good news."
"."

【It exploded! The plot is fast-paced and compact. It was enjoyable to watch throughout the whole process, but it was also very tense. The villain in it killed people whenever he said he wanted to.
The performances by Gu Wei and Wu Jing are so wonderful, this is what a domestic action blockbuster should be! 】
[The style is a bit similar to Gu Wei's previous film "Operation Mekong", but the scenes are grander and the fighting is more intense. Wu Jing is very suitable for playing a soldier, and Gu Wei's action scenes are simply stunning! 】
【Very burning! The war scenes are magnificent and the fights between people are exciting! It makes people excited to fight for their compatriots! 】
【Sure enough, Gu Wei has never let me down. With his addition, the quality of "Wolf Warrior 2" is obviously much higher than that of the first film.
The Chinese also have their own superheroes, who are on fire throughout! 】
[The fighting scenes are still very exciting. When it comes to personal heroism, isn’t this the formula of American blockbusters? However, there are still areas worthy of scrutiny in the plot, and some areas are a bit exaggerated, but the flaws are not outweighed.]
[Perhaps, you will never know how strong a sense of security your motherland has given you; maybe, you will finally One day you will find that you also love your motherland deeply! 】
[A movie that determines whether it has double standards: it has all the routines of the American main theme, and it is trying to learn the specialties of the American main theme, but there is still some distance.
But to criticize its shortcomings using the methods commonly used and forced to use in mainstream commercial films is a matter of double standards of values and aesthetic standards - Americans all fly cars like airplanes, while Chinese people shoot What happened to tank drift? 】
[It was really exciting. Even though it was already very late, the whole place was still full. It was so exciting. We can be so stable because someone protects us from danger and the cold! 】
【.】
[Wolf Warrior 2] is completely popular. On August 1st, Army Day, there will be a grand military parade in Zhurihe.
RM Daily publishes news reports about movies on the main page.
#When the wolf warriors appear, who can compete with us? Let our army protect our country and protect our country! #
Said "Similar to Zhu Rihe's military parade, [Wolf Warrior 2] also inspired strong resonance among domestic audiences with its vigorous posture, heroic spirit, and patriotic enthusiasm!"
After the official media stated its position , major domestic media also reported on the movie. For a time, online and offline discussions about "Wolf Warrior 2" were everywhere.
"Brother Jing, I have to go back to the crew. This trip took me a lot of time. I really can't explain it if I don't go back to the director."
The national road show is over and the main creator is in Beijing. Let’s meet, at this time [Wolf Warrior 2]’s box office has exceeded 2 billion, and it is still soaring at a rate of at least 200 million every day.
Wu Jing has been in a state of excitement these days. After watching the real-time box office every day, he has to confirm with the people around him again and again that [Wolf Warrior 2] brought him such a big surprise, so It feels like an ordinary person winning the jackpot every time he buys lottery tickets, which makes people wonder if he is dreaming.
After returning to the capital, Wu Jing proposed taking advantage of the popularity of the movie to continue arranging fan meetings in large and medium-sized cities across the country, striking while the iron is hot, and helping the box office to reach a higher level.
Gu Wei has no objection, it’s just that he can’t make sense if he doesn’t go back to [Wandering Earth].
"It's okay. I know your crew still has scenes to shoot, so leave it to me later.
When I get back to the crew, tell Director Guo that I'll come in after I finish this part. Group shooting"
At present, [Wolf Warrior 2] has formed a movie-watching craze, and has been widely discussed by the public as a hot social event.
Many professionals in the industry have raised the final box office estimate of "Wolf Warrior 2" to 3.5 billion yuan at this time, and some people believe that "Wolf Warrior 2" may surpass "Tang Detective 2" to become the new box office champion.
China Film.
"Gu Wei, this young man can really surprise people. Where do you expect [Wolf Warrior 2] to be at the box office?"
La Peikang looked at his subordinates He brought up all kinds of real-time data about [Wolf Warrior 2] and asked the old subordinate in front with a smile.
Although China Film Investment did not invest much money, they joined in after all at the invitation of Gu Wei. Mr. La is also one of the producers of "Wolf Warrior 2". This kind of blockbuster with the main theme is a big hit. For him, it is the best political achievement.
As for how much money he makes, he doesn't care.
“According to the current trend, the forecast given by professionals in the group is 4.5 billion.”
“So high?
I have seen many news saying that it can reach 4 billion. That’s pretty good.”
Xu Jianhai, the head of China Film Beijing Film Production Branch and the producer of [The Wandering Earth], smiled.
"Actually, according to the normal movie box office trend, it would be enough to reach 3.5 billion. The key point [Wolf Warrior 2] is obviously abnormal.
This movie has broken the circle.
According to the current viewing experience Judging from the movie data, regardless of gender, people from all social strata and groups, even people who have no movie-going habits, are driven by public opinion to enter the theater.
This is why [Wolf Warrior 2] is so strong at the box office now. ."
"If the box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] can exceed 4.5 billion, then China Film owes Gu Wei a small favor
After all, we didn't do anything. After filming the movie, Gu Wei gave us a chance to share the cake.
Money is secondary, the main reason is that this achievement is what China Film Group needs.”
“Haha.
We have always cooperated happily with [Wei Mingxia], and the Han family’s daughter is also there His.
Her campus movie also had a good reputation and box office.
Mr. Han was very happy for a while last month."
"Haha.
At his age, nothing is more satisfying than seeing his children have a bright future
[Wandering Earth] How was the filming over there? ”
Mr. La remembered again the hugely invested science fiction blockbuster he collaborated with [Wei Mingxia], and now [Wolf Warrior 2] is a hit. He is very interested in the collaboration between Gu Wei and Wu Jing again, [The Wandering Earth] 】Looking forward to it even more.
"Everything went well during the filming, but it was quite hard. Wu Mengda was admitted to the hospital some time ago because of his old age and poor health.
But Guo Fan has already dealt with it, and he promised me that similar things will not happen again in the future. ."
La Peikang frowned.
“Although movies are important, talent is fundamental, and we need to emphasize something with Guo Fan.”
“What the leader said is
In addition to the filming of the crew, many film and television companies in the industry have been contacted recently, hoping to invest in [The Wandering Earth]."
"Haha~
They thought very well, but they originally looked down on domestic productions. Sci-fi movies, now that the collaboration between Gu Wei and Wu Jing is so good, I still want to come in and eat meat, how can it be so easy?
[Wei Tianxia] What do you say over there? "
"Gu Wei's opinion is that no matter who it is, reject it first, and wait until the film is finished to decide whether to add a producer.
He doesn't value money, he mainly focuses on what resources other companies can provide."
"That's it for now.
It’s a pity that when [The Founding of an Army] invited Gu Wei, he didn’t come, otherwise he wouldn’t have had a box office of only 300 million now, which is still a fraction of [Wolf Warrior 2]”
Xu Jianhai opened his mouth but still didn't say anything.
"The Founding of the Army" was released on the same day as "Wolf Warrior 2". The actors received zero salary, but the investment was as high as 200 million, which was almost the same as "Wolf Warrior 2". 2] Almost the same, but the box office is currently only over 300 million. According to the current trend, breaking 400 million is almost the limit.
This theme-themed blockbuster jointly funded by China Film, Bona and the Gan Provincial Government is considered a loss.
Bona Films.
Yu Dong was feeling pain and happiness at the same time. [The Great Cause of Army Building] was lost, but [Wolf Warrior 2] was profitable. Although the profit was not much, the blessing of reputation was considerable.
“It’s a pity that [Operation Red Sea] Gu Wei is not here, otherwise it is very likely to replicate the miracle of [Wolf Warrior 2].
After all, we have the foundation of [Operation Mekong], Director Lin The second collaboration with Gu Wei will definitely set off a new movie-watching craze.”
"There's no way, Gu Wei doesn't have time, and [Operation Red Sea] does tend to be a bit more group cooperation and lacks some individual heroism. Gu Wei may also have concerns in this regard."
Lin Chaoxian looked at the current situation [ The crazy box office results of "Wolf Warrior 2" are also very emotional, and I regret not being able to invite Gu Wei.
“You can change the script. Isn’t that what [Operation Mekong] did in the first place? Everyone has seen the effect.”
“Forget it, the film has been shot, so there is no point in saying this. What's the use? At least Zhang Tianai is very popular now, and it can also be used as a selling point when [Operation Red Sea] is released in the future."
Yu Dong nodded.
"I have to ask Gu Wei to come out for a meal when I have time. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another time. He is also a shareholder of Bona now. We are all a family, and it is always right to cooperate to make money."
