China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 323 Box Office Miracle

Tianrun Pictures President Wu Zhaoxian was pacing back and forth in his office. Although his face was calm and expressionless, you could feel his anxiety and an unspeakable... panic.

Just when Wu Zhaoxian was completely immersed in his thoughts, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

The secretary opened the door and stared at Wu Zhaoxian closely. He paused and read the numbers in his hand: "The numbers just calculated, "Your Name" ended half an hour ago plus today's forecast.

The box office sales have reached 27.7 million, surpassing "I'm Waiting for You in Memories". It is estimated to exceed 36 million today, and... according to the current pre-sales and tomorrow's film schedule, tomorrow... "Your Name"

It is very likely to surpass "Gravity",

Get the sun crown."

"More than "Gravity" tomorrow?!" Ng Siu-hyun broke the pretense of deepness and revealed his emotions: ""Gravity" can now get more than 50 million box office every day on weekdays. Even "Your Name" can do it today.

If you get 36 million, you can increase it to more than 50 million tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid that's not all. The attendance rate of "Your Name" today has doubled. The pre-sales are growing too fast, and theaters are crazy about arranging movies." The secretary replied affirmatively: "Judging from the current online public opinion,

It seems that the word-of-mouth spread of "Your Name" has skyrocketed, and the term "animation masterpiece" has been on the hot search list."

"A masterpiece? Isn't that what "Gravity" is said to be? It's endless, is it?"

The secretary looked at the boss's rare gaffe and couldn't help but cursed: "You really want to brag, can you brag?"

Wu Zhaoxian waved his secretary out of the office and sat feebly on the large chair. Although he had had a premonition since this morning, when the boots really hit the ground, all that was left in his heart was frustration.

"Gravity" only received 12.36 million at the box office on its opening day, ranking fifth, behind "Gravity", "I'm Waiting for You in Memories", "Tomb Raiders" and "Summer in the Arbor"

》.

But today he has completely lost his composure, or in other words, his defense has been broken. He can't wait for his subordinates to arrange a movie theater, and he doesn't care whether it is inappropriate for him to go to the movie theater to watch cartoons at his age.

The shock of the media and the public was not pretended, but they were really surprised.

Was the Huaguo Cinema opened for him, Chen Jingxing?

It’s a pity that it was “Your Name” that pulled the plug on “Gravity”! It’s still a DreamWorks movie!

"Maoyan predicts that the box office of "Your Name" will exceed 600 million!"

Even melon eaters were shocked and excited by the triple jump counterattack of "Your Name" within a few days - the counterattack itself is a plot that netizens love to see.

He also lost his vigilance. Now the media should be as dumbfounded as him, right?

If Tianrun hadn't been involved in this wave of "adding insult to injury", he would have thought it was planned by Chen Jingxing.

"I'm Waiting for You in Memories", but he spent a lot of money to invite two top stars, Wu Tingxuan and Lu Feifei. It was adapted from a well-known novel. Wu Tingxuan even had his first kiss on screen. Such a strong publicity campaign, so many

Fans supported it, but it was overthrown by a two-dimensional hand-drawn animated film without any IP blessing, and there was not even any resistance.

Wu Zhaoxian pressed the button, blocking out the secretary's surprised voice.

As a result, the box office of "Your Name" rose to 22 million the next day, but this did not alarm him. After all, it was Saturday, and the market was rising. The box office of Tianrun's "I'm Waiting for You in Memories" also reached 9,000.

million, which is less than 5 million away from the daily crown of "Gravity". Obviously, the combination of top-notch and top-notch casts has exploded extraordinary box office appeal.

Normally he wouldn't do this kind of thing. During the Spring Festival, even though "Mekong" performed brilliantly, he didn't go to the cinema to watch it. He did watch "Gravity", but it was to free up one of its cinemas.

An IMAX theater, which he and company executives booked to watch.

Is DreamWorks really that special? Totally invincible?

But one day later, the trend immediately changed and began to sing praises for DreamWorks and Chen Jingxing’s foresight.

He naturally knows that "Your Name" has a good reputation, but no matter how good the reputation is, you still have to talk about the basics, right? This kind of triple-jump counterattack, even if it is also a DreamWorks movie, has also staged a counterattack script "

"Fatal Identity" and "Mekong" are both beyond comparison.

But by the third day, Sunday, the box office of "Your Name" had risen to 35 million, surpassing "Tomb Raiders" and "Summer Trees" in one fell swoop, and following "Memories", but "Memories" still had 80 million.

The box office receipt only made him a little nervous.

…

"Your Name" not only took over the Japanese crown title from "Gravity", but according to the box office curve, it is certain that the final box office will exceed 600 million.

Moreover, the box office forecast of the ticket purchasing platform is still rising slightly every day, which means that the box office record of animated movies created by "Your Name" is still rising.

This result relieved him a lot from the annoyance of not being able to knock off "Gravity" from the crown of the sun. "Gravity" is a miracle movie. Even if he watched it in the theater, he could only sigh with dismay, but he finally dreamed of it.

There are times when factories make mistakes.

He wanted to see what magical power this animation had.

Those media are a bunch of idiots. They have been hyping up DreamWorks' box office failure all weekend, analyzing in a serious manner such things as "DreamWorks made a mistake in getting involved in animation", "Chen Jingxing's bet on animated movies was a mistake", "the first box office failure"

What impact will it have on DreamWorks’ ongoing IPO?” bullshit article.

This can't be described as a counterattack, it can be regarded as a miracle! The box office curve of "Mekong" during the Spring Festival is not so exaggerated.

""Your Name" staged a shocking reversal and took over the crown from "Gravity"!"

That would be fine if it was "Mekong". It has indeed brought the main theme film to a new level. Not to mention "Gravity", even though he has done so much promotion, he has not yet succeeded in "Gravity", which has been released for 20 days.

"Gravity" regained the Japanese crown, but he was convinced of the defeat. Naturally, a movie with a box office of US$200 million in North America surpassing the North American box office record set by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" cannot be competed by a love movie.

""Your Name" has a Douban score of 8.9, and it is a well-deserved animated masterpiece!"

"Can you believe it? The best love movie on Chinese Valentine's Day - a cartoon."

"Chen Jingxing's investment in animation has yielded great results, revealing the secret of the strongest animation company in China - Mo"

But "Your Name" is so virtuous and capable.

"'Your Name' has set a box office record for a two-dimensional hand-drawn animated film!"

"Film critics lamented that "Your Name" is an animation for adults."

"Di - Secretary Cao, please make some arrangements... no, book a movie ticket... "Your Name", just for tonight... You heard it right, it's "Your Name"!"

However, on the first working day after its opening weekend, "Your Name" has been closely beating "Memories" at the box office since the morning, and the gap is narrowing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ng Siu-hyun believes that he is not the only one who is paying attention to the two films' anxious performance on the real-time box office charts. The outside media and other colleagues must also be paying attention to the pursuit of "Your Name".

A cartoon is putting on a counterattack script here? Isn't this a parallel universe?

"The spring of animated movies is coming? "Your Name" will create animation miracles!"

Even the CEO of a film company like Ng Siu-hsien can be shameless, let alone the media who are good at taking advantage of others. Even if they were chasing the news about DreamWorks' "Waterloo" the day before, they even analyzed "Chen Jingxing Investment" in a serious manner.

What move did the animation industry make?" "DreamWorks's expectations for the animated film market were wrong and overly optimistic" and so on.

What is the concept of 600 million? Most live-action movies that reach a box office of 600 million are considered unprecedented box office successes, and in the field of animated movies, it can be said to be a real box office miracle. Usually animated movies are considered successful if their box office exceeds 100 million.

.

If according to predictions, "Your Name" can get 36 million today, what does this mean?

Supporters of Natural DreamWorks were also proud and even launched a "counterattack and reckoning" on social platforms.

Tomorrow it can even pull down "Gravity" which he is tired of watching on Box Office Daily.

Aren't other romantic movies released for the Chinese Valentine's Day, including "Memory", just like jokes?

Wu Zhaoxian could not even feel angry at this time, only a deep sense of powerlessness.

As a domestic two-dimensional animated film, "Your Name" can surpass all live-action films. To win the box office championship during the Chinese Valentine's Day is a slap in the face to the film companies including him, and of course the media.

, all face has been slapped away long ago.

"DreamWorks Animation movies may create box office miracles!"

For him, who is jealous of the box office revenue of "Gravity", letting DreamWorks lose 50 million can be a temporary relief.

The box office on Mondays did not decrease but increased on weekends!

What's more, this is just a cartoon. There are many cartoons with good reputations, and animated movies imported from Japan are not without good reputations. So what? No matter how good the reputation is, it is still a cartoon?

When did anime fans have such strong purchasing power?

And tomorrow is August 9th, which is the Chinese Valentine's Day. As a result, on Valentine's Day, the box office champion will probably be an animated film...

This box office miracle is no less shocking than those movies with a box office of over 2 billion.

This has also led many people to begin to analyze how "Your Name" can break through the ceiling of animation themes and surpass the ceiling so far.

The final conclusion surprised many people. Many of the viewers who watched "Your Name" were watching an animated movie in a theater for the first time, and the main audience of "Your Name" was between 20 and 25 years old.

Years old, there is no child audience in the usual sense.

This makes the impact and significance of "Your Name" on the film industry exceed its own expected box office of 670 million, and can even be said to have epoch-making significance for the domestic animated film market.
