Chapter 922: Rave reviews
1 Nani!?
1.62 million!?
How could it suddenly be nearly twice as high as yesterday?
Didn't you say that this movie was a street goods?
After this statistic came out, I don't know how many reporters frantically called various theaters, wanting to get the most realistic box office data, so as to expose the ugly face of the distributor.
But unfortunately, after their continuous comparison, this data has not changed at all.
Oh, and it can't be said that there hasn't been any change at all.
A movie theater undercounted a little data, and in the end, it could add a few thousand yuan to 1.62 million.
With this result, the reporters wanted to cry without tears.
They can't wait to take back all the comments and questions they sent out yesterday and eat them.
It is conceivable that after the newspaper comes out in the early hours of the morning a few hours later, how many people in Xiangjiang will scoff at these so-called celebrity experts.
Although this group of reporters has not been slapped in the face once or twice, and their faces are no longer of any use to them, it is a great shame to encounter such a reversal in one day.
Hong Jinbao, who had been staying up all night waiting for news, got the data the moment he got it, he shot the case directly, looked up to the sky and roared, and greatly vented the pressure and panic in his heart.
Even a person like Lin Zhengying, who has a lot of confidence, couldn't help but laugh.
That's right!
Isn't that how it should be?
It's a good movie!
Happy is happy, but Lin Zhengying is still sensible, he quickly suppressed Hong Jinbao, who wanted to call Yin Jun to report the good news.
It's almost one o'clock in the morning, and you call, isn't that annoying?
Besides, the overall situation has been decided, and it will be the same when Junshao gets up and be happy.
Hong Jinbao could only take the handle away from the phone stupidly.
But he was immediately a little apprehensive, "This can't be a flash in the pan, right?"
"Of course not. Lin Zhengying was more confident at this time, ""Mr. Zombie" is not a traditional horror film at all, it should be a comedy in a practical sense, but a comedy wrapped in the shell of a zombie film. It is not scary or scary, it is also very humorous and funny, and it retains a very mysterious and interesting Maoshan technique. Such a movie, both adults and children, should be enjoyed. ”
"Brother Ying, what do you think our box office can reach?" asked Hong Jinbao expectantly.
Everyone in Garbo's company, including Yuan Biao, is a little worried, but Lin Zhengying is the only one who keeps telling them that the box office of this "Mr. Zombie" must be stable.
Now it turns out that Lin Zhengying is right.
So Hung Jinbao is looking forward to getting good news again.
"I don't dare to say that it will become the second film to break through the box office of 30 million, but it should be 22 million that can't run away. Lin Zhengying said with a smile, "Actually, Jun Shao has long known these things. ”
"Why?" Hong Jinbao said in surprise, "No matter how powerful Jun Shao is, it is impossible to predict it so accurately, right?"
"Why can't you?" Lin Zhengying asked Hong Jinbao, "Sanmao, how much did you buy the script? 5 million, right?"
"yes, what's wrong?" Hong Jinbao replied with a nod.
"How much did Wu Siyuan's "Dragon and Tiger Boys" buy?"
"It's also 5 million......" Hong Jinbao replied here, suddenly stunned, and immediately reacted, "Brother Ying, what do you mean...... Jun Shao knew that the potential of the two movies was about the same, so he sold 5 million?"
"Isn't it?" Lin Zhengying said, "Otherwise, why didn't he give you the "Red Fan District"? Why does "Red Fan District" sell for 10 million, and use this direct investment to calculate investment?"
"Tsk!"
After being silent for a while, Hong Jinbao sighed and sighed with relief, "Jun Shao, this person is really smart enough to have no friends! But fortunately, we can make money in Xiangjiang...... The business in this foreign city will not be worse than that of "Dragon and Tiger Boys", right?"
"I don't know about that. Lin Zhengying said, ""Dragon and Tiger Boys" has the meaning of borrowing the momentum of ".", we are only starting now, and I don't know if we can take advantage of it. But to be honest, I think "Mr. Zombie" should be higher at the box office in Treasure Island and Singapore, South Korea and Japan, but Malaysia, Thailand or something, then maybe, because zombie culture will not necessarily make them adapt, but it is not as good as "Dragon Tiger Boys". ”
"With these markets, I'm already very satisfied. Hong Jinbao waved his hand, "Don't forget, there are four episodes of this drama." As long as the foundation of the first part is solid, we can earn 10 or 20 million a year with four series of movies in four years, so what is there not to be satisfied with?"
"That's right. Lin Zhengying agreed.
"During this time, Brother Ying, you have worked hard!" Hong Jinbao muttered, "When the box office and buyout dividends come down, I Sanmao will definitely express it to everyone, don't worry!"
"Good. ”
Lin Zhengying nodded.
Hong Jinbao was relatively stingy before, but since he took Yin Jun's script, he has changed a lot in the past two years.
Although it may not be very generous, in terms of dividends, it is much more generous than before.
used to be sent away for a few thousand yuan, but now, for example, in last year's "The Loser", he took a total of 3 million to share with everyone.
This year, "Mr. Zombie" is gaining more momentum, and it is even more unlikely that Hung Jinbao will be more stingy than before.
Moreover, Lin Zhengying also knows that Yin Jun's four movies all use himself as the protagonist, and he also wants to be the director, which is the reason why Hong Jinbao made such a positive statement.
Lin Zhengying hasn't thought about doing anything on his own yet.
First, he has now done the first part of "Mr. Zombie", and he has a lot of ideas and insights in his heart, and he still needs to precipitate and learn more, so that he can shoot the second, third and fourth parts well.
How hard and serious Yin Jun is on the set, everyone in Xiangjiang knows.
Lin Zhengying himself thinks that even an accomplished super-rich man like Yin Jun can take a movie so seriously, what else do he have to be lazy?
We must shoot every one of them well, and each one has a heart, so as not to waste Yin Jun's script, so that I can grow and play better.
Second, Hong Jinbao already knew that "Mr. Zombie" and subsequent movies were inseparable from Lin Zhengying, and he also offered him good conditions.
For example, "Mr. Zombie", 1 million for him as the director and protagonist, plus 10% of the box office profit share, this price is already very good.
Since the conditions are very good, there is no need to do it yourself.
Besides, even if you have to do it yourself, when you have more experience and a more famous name after four movies, wouldn't it be more fame and fortune to do it yourself?
As for whether Yin Jun will blame himself for following the trend and shooting, Lin Zhengying feels that there is no need to worry too much.
Needless to say, after three years, it will be a month or two at most, and zombie films similar to "Mr. Zombie" will rush out.
Following a movie, a successful movie, is originally the characteristic of Hong Kong.
These directors who have no ability and no creativity don't know how seriously they stare at every movie created by Yin Jun.
Of course, many of them also have profits and losses, and this depends on their own ability.
They have been plagiarizing for so many years, and they haven't seen Yin Jun say anything, and it will be impossible to shoot it themselves in the future.
Even if Yin Jun feels that he is not good, then he can say hello in advance and talk to his junior brother Wei Xiaofan, and he will naturally be OK.
……
Lin Zhengying's judgment of the box office is not wrong, and his judgment of word-of-mouth is even more wrong.
A few hours later, in the Kirin Daily, the first wave of comments on "Mr. Zombie" poured in.
Although "Mr. Zombie" was released the day before yesterday, it was only released on Thursday night, and many people went home and slept after watching it, and did not have time to call "Kirin Daily" to express their opinions.
And the "Kirin Daily" has to start printing at 3 a.m. at the latest, and the time is a bit unhurried.
Yesterday was different, there were screenings from morning to night, and with the audience the day before yesterday, a whole bunch of people called to express their excitement.
These words became words and were published on the "Entertainment Spit Edition".
"Damn! Are those reporters-eaters? Such a good movie, and they say it's not good? I went to the premiere, but when I got up the next day and read the newspaper, I almost blew up my lungs! Where did their eyes go?"
"Seeing that the newspapers in Xiangjiang were like crazy against Jun Shao, I calmly went to watch "Mr. Zombie" with my classmates in the morning, and it didn't disappoint me! Reporters who don't watch movies but talk nonsense should go to the streets!"
"Hahaha, it's funny to death! Qiusheng is too naughty, Wencai is too pitiful! And Uncle Jiu, it's so cool!"
"The most pitiful thing is that the zombie is good, is it good? It was actually played like this, if it had sanity, it would have been angry to death a second time!"
My girlfriend read it the day before yesterday and dragged me to it again, and she laughed so hard that her legs turned red!"
"I can make zombie movies so down-to-earth, the screenwriter of Xiangjiang, I only serve Junshao!
"Dog reporters, this is all called Jiang Lang's talent, I'm really blind to you!"
"Hehe, I also listened to the comments of my classmates, I only went to see it last night, I look so good! Liang Chaowei is so handsome, I really want to be his girlfriend......"
“……”
The current entertainment spit version of "Kirin Daily" has become an important word-of-mouth reference credential.
Most of the complaints and praises on this are real feelings.
In its own system, "Kirin Daily" will conduct a round of screening, and then will select the comments that best represent opinions and send them out.
In this way, it can roughly reflect the reputation of film and television entertainment works.
I even heard that the three major TV stations will now make some changes to their programs and TV series according to the evaluation of the Tucao version, which further improves the status of the Tucao version and makes everyone more enthusiastic about complaining.
It's not that no newspaper imitates "Kirin Daily", but now "Kirin Daily" is preconceived, the most topical, and the most sold, whether it is a complaining person or a film and television company, it is naturally the most important here.
Ordinary people who eat melons also like the spit version of "Kirin Daily" the most, and now when everyone mentions the "spit version", they must not be talking about other newspapers, it is definitely "Kirin Daily", which is already everyone's default.
As a result, such a large wave of praise for "Mr. Zombie" completely reversed the doubts of other people about "Mr. Zombie" and attracted more people to watch it in the cinema.
As a result, the box office exploded at 2.1 million on Saturday.
Sunday's box office received another 1.9 million.
In the first four days of the first weekend, "Mr. Zombie" exploded with 6.49 million, surpassing "Dragon and Tiger Boys" and becoming the second highest-grossing movie in the history of Xiangjiang on the first weekend!!
