Chapter 450: Flying Star Journey

Pei Qian hurriedly clicked on the promotional page of the movie to check.

Brief introduction

On the eve of World War I, Tim (John Stanton), a traumatized former military officer, inadvertently travels to a mysterious planet and becomes embroiled in the strife of multiple forces on the planet. While these forces see him as the key to ending the strife, and even win the hearts and minds of the beautiful princess Lynne (Dega Morton), can he really leave the past behind and turn the planet's fortunes around?

After reading this introduction, Pei Qian's jubilant mood was instantly poured with cold water.

This story doesn't seem very appealing!

But on second thought...... It seems that all the films made by the United States are all this routine, and "Avatar", which was popular all over the world before, didn't it also travel to another planet and have a hot fight with the local indigenous girls?

Well, pretty much about it.

The key is to look at the director and investment!

As long as the director is reliable and the investment is a little higher, it is definitely a matter of effort for this film to press "Beautiful Tomorrow" on the ground and rub it!

Pei Qian hurriedly checked out more information about the movie.

After reading it, Pei Qian let out a sigh of relief.

Steady!

Director Daryl directed his first animated short film as early as 1988, and has directed many films and has been nominated for Oscars many times, in 2005 he directed an animated film that grossed 600 million dollars worldwide, and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, and in 2008 his next sci-fi animated film won this award again.

The movie "Flying Star Journey" is based on a classic science fiction published in 1911 in the United States, and now it is also the 100th anniversary of the original book, with a total investment of more than 170 million dollars, star-studded actors, and the actor John Stanton worked hard to complete very rigorous physical training during the filming, and lost a full 25 pounds while enduring the pain and torture to complete the shooting, which can be called a model of dedication.

In short, Pei Qian watched the information of this film from beginning to end, and his heart was instantly steady.

This is the standard rice country blockbuster template!

Look at this luxurious lineup, look at this generous investment, famous directors and actors, plus a good script, broadcast it casually around the world, and it should be no problem to get a total box office of six or seven billion dollars, right?

If you do it casually in China, five or six billion soft sister coins are also proper.

And this Pei Qian is even less, according to the investment of 170 million dollars, the global box office of this film with a box office of 500 million or 600 million dollars can only be regarded as not losing money.

If it explodes, then you have to run for a billion!

When the time comes, the major theaters will work hard to schedule films, and it will be a piece of cake to squeeze out "Beautiful Tomorrow"?

At present, the first day of theatrical release has given this movie 31.4% of the film schedule, and if the next trend is good, then this film schedule will definitely rise!

And the schedule of "Beautiful Tomorrow" has fallen to less than 15%.

The only thing Pei Qian feels a little regretful about now is that this film was released more than half a month late, if it can be released with "Beautiful Tomorrow", it will be absolutely stable!

But it's not too late to release it now, at least it will reduce a lot of follow-up income for Pei Qian!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian was simply encouraged.

……

……

Saturday, March 12.

Today is the weekend, so I don't have to go to work, but for Pei Qian, every weekend from today onwards, the tasks are very heavy!

While eating the fish takeaway, he checked the reservation status of the OTTO E1 mobile phone.

Sure enough, the number of reservations so far has not reached 5,000, and this stocking can reduce at least 4,000 units, which is not much different from Pei Qian's estimate.

And on the Internet, this number has also caused ridicule from many people.

Because when the OTTO E1 mobile phone was first developed for the conference, it was very lively, and the video of the press conference was on the digital list of the Ally website, and Changyou's passage also attracted everyone to imitate it.

On the day of the press conference, 1,000 units were sold out instantly, creating the illusion of high popularity.

Many people have questioned that this is hunger marketing, and now the deposit is open to appointments, but the number of reservations is less than 5,000 units, which is an order of magnitude different from other big-name mobile phone manufacturers who often make reservations for tens of thousands of units.

As a result, the spouting points of the crowd also changed very naturally.

"OTTO Technology is really a stinky move, they should continue to engage in hunger marketing, so that little by little by selling, the popularity of mobile phones can still be maintained. Now it's okay, it's open for sale, everyone knows how many pounds and taels this mobile phone has, and there are only 5,000 people in total to make appointments, isn't it a shame? ”

"Even if it's fake? Add one more person to the number of pre-orders, no shame! ”

"Hehe, I think Mr. Chang must have swelled, and the 3,000 mobile phones in front of him were all sold out, giving him the illusion that this mobile phone seemed to be very popular, so he made a reservation, and it was instantly revealed!"

"When there is no goods, you say hunger marketing, and when there is goods, you say that this mobile phone is not popular enough, and the trolls will always be invincible......"

"Hehe, that's the case, don't ask for more, if this mobile phone can sell a total of 30,000 units, then I will reluctantly admit that it is popular, the key is that it can? Now a total of 3,000 units have been sold, and there are 5,000 reservations, which is already the top! It turns out that relying on marketing and IQ taxes will not go far at all! ”

Looking at these evaluations, Pei Qian felt much more comfortable, and he ate a few more bites of food.

Especially the last one, the righteous and solemn words are loud, and it completely asserts that the OTTO mobile phone is not playing, which makes Pei Qian feel comfortable for a while.

The only pity is that this guy probably doesn't know the market very well, in fact, only selling 3,000 units has already made Mr. Pei earn 12 million, and even if these profits are returned to other departments, he has also earned more than 1 million.

If 30,000 units are sold, wouldn't it cost Mr. Pei his life?

Then, Pei Qian glanced at the player evaluation of "BE QUIET" again.

So far, players are still debating the purchase threshold of this game, and the topic of the game itself is only a very small minority.

Sales of the game are also growing, but so far, less than 10,000 copies have been sold.

Compared to the previous games, it's a start!

Pei Qian is very happy, this persuasion process he carefully designed is obviously effective, and the effect is remarkable!

Of course, there is no less scolding.

This is where players argue the most.

At the beginning, "BE QUIET" was released, and players found that they could not buy it, and they had to decrypt it first ARG.

After a whole week of solving the ARG puzzle, many people wanted to buy it with joy, only to find that there were preconditions!

And this precondition even takes nearly an hour, and it takes a scary little game to complete, and even some people who don't have a camera at home have to get a camera......

Although Lonely Desert Highway and Game Maker are already free, for many people who haven't played these two games, they simply don't want to download them, and they don't want to play them at all.

In short, these few preconditions have been taken down, dissuading a large number of players, and also causing great controversy, which has continued until now.

Some players said that Tengda floated, let himself go, and made a meaningless publicity, which affected the sales of the game instead, and waited for the game to die;

Some players also said that the game screened out players through this method, so that those impatient novice players could not enter the game, so that it could have the effect of purifying the game environment and improving the game experience, which is part of the game marketing strategy, and so far, it has been very successful.

For these arguments, Pei Qian watched them with relish.

Pei Qian really wants to tell everyone, in fact, what you said is right!

I do want the game to die violently, and I do screen players, and you're talking about the same thing!

In addition to these two kinds of people who are arguing fiercely, there are also some posts that make Pei Qian feel the greatness of the wisdom of the people.

The player post named "Super General" has sorted out the strategy for passing the preconditions in detail, including how long to drive in "Lonely Desert Highway", how to choose each time in "Game Producer", how to go to the TPDb website, and so on.

The most annoying thing is that this poster has also researched the ultimate truant gameplay to clear the final level test: find a piece of paper and dig a hole in it and cover it on the screen, so that your eyes only need to keep staring at the small screen behind the hole, and you will not be affected by the ghosts around the screen at all.

The ultimate test, which originally required more than half an hour of trial and strong willpower to succeed, was passed by many people in a single attempt after using this truant gameplay......

For this post, Pei Qian only has two words in capital letters, admire!

Of course, there is a way to close this loophole, and that is to continue to tweak the gameplay of the game so that the player's eyes have to sweep all corners of the screen the whole time, rather than just staring at one place.

However, considering that the current game sales are not good, it is obvious that the current challenge has a strong persuasion effect, so Pei Qian will turn a blind eye to this.

After all, the ones who can really go to this last step are already a few people in the player base.

Finally, Pei Qian opened the Dog Eye APP to check the box office situation on the first day of "Flying Star Journey".

It's just noon, and the box office of "Flying Star Journey" has broken 11 million, and the box office on the first day should be around 24 million.

Pei Qian couldn't help frowning slightly, it didn't seem to be as good as he imagined?

But after thinking about it, today is the first day of release, and there will be a wave of movie-watching craze tomorrow and Sunday, and the two days add up to 60 million, isn't it easy?

Famous director + famous actor + big investment + big scene, no matter how you look at it, it's impossible to pounce, don't easily cut a box office of six or seven billion, are you embarrassed to say hello to others?

Pei Qian still remembers that the box office of "Beautiful Tomorrow" was less than 8 million on the first day for half a day, and about 17 million on the first day, and the estimated box office of the Dog Eye APP has reached 210 million.

After that, the data of "Beautiful Tomorrow" is still rising, and now the estimated box office of the Gouyan APP has reached 230 million.

Pei Qian hurriedly clicked on the estimated box office of "Flying Star Journey".

"320 million soft girl coins ???"

"Such a good film is only so estimated at the box office? I don't believe it! ”

Pei Qian almost thought that this number was missing a 0.

However, after thinking about it, the box office estimate of the dog eye APP is only an estimate, and it is not necessarily accurate, especially in this situation where it is only estimated based on the half-day box office, it is even more inaccurate.

Don't you see "A Better Tomorrow" underestimated?

"Flying Star Journey" Come on, I'm optimistic about you!

Tomorrow, you must slap the dog's eye APP in the face with a high box office, so that it knows what it means to see people with dog eyes, oh no, dog eyes look at the film low!

Pei Qian looked at tomorrow's film schedule again, the film schedule of "Flying Star Journey" has risen from 31.4% to 32.3%, although it is not much, but it will still have a good suppression effect on "Beautiful Tomorrow".

Because "Beautiful Tomorrow" has been released for 19 days, and it will be released in about ten days.

Moreover, it is not only "Flying Star Journey" that is under pressure on the schedule of "Beautiful Tomorrow", there are other movies that are being released one after another during this time.

The box office of "Beautiful Tomorrow" has now fallen to third place, the first two are "Flying Star Journey" and "Chaser", the latter is also a new movie that was just released two days ago, although the total box office is definitely not better than "Beautiful Tomorrow", but after all, it is a new movie, the film schedule is high, and the single-day box office can still stabilize "Beautiful Tomorrow".

Now the daily box office of the three movies is at the level of 20 million, 8 million and 4 million respectively.

But under the continuous squeeze of the previous two movies, "A Better Tomorrow" seems to be a hero's twilight.
