Chapter 138: The premiere broke 100 million, and the capital bosses were shocked!(1/3)
Time passed minute by minute, and there were less than two hours left before the premiere of the movie.
Of course, during this period, Lin Yuan did not choose to sit in the hotel room and wait for the results to appear.
"Dear fans, everyone who is about to watch "The Martial Arts of One Person" is all about to watch. The filming of this drama is not easy, and it is also my first time filming a martial arts scene. First of all, I would like to say thanks to the staff and the starring actors for helping me when filming "The Martial Arts of One Person". This drama is not only my hard work, but also everyone's hard work. Behind the film, I have many small stories to share with you..."
Lin Yuan posted the video he had taken to Weibo.
The purpose of this is very simple. First, promote the movie temporarily, and secondly, by telling the story behind the movie, we will narrow the distance with the audience and make them look forward to the movie more.
As for the effect, Lin Yuan doesn't know, but these things must be tried.
Just after Lin Yuan posted on Weibo, his friends from all walks of life also used various actions to help Lin Yuan promote the movie.
Friends such as Deng Chao, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng and members of the Men's Gang directly booked a hundred movies.
The whole movie was less than 5,000 yuan, and even if it was a hundred movies, it was less than 500,000 yuan. This amount of money was not money at all for them, and it was completely a drop in the bucket for the final movie box office and it would not play any key role.
But the reason why they chose to book a venue was not to use this action to contribute box office to Lin Yuan, but to help Lin Yuan promote the movie more vigorously.
Because the venue they booked was given to fans for free in the form of a lottery.
Fans must be excited about the free sex thing, and there must be more people involved.
People who get movie tickets will definitely go to watch it. If they go to watch it, they can't go to watch it alone, right? It's normal for a few friends to bring their girlfriends with them.
As for those who have not been drawn, most people will choose not to watch it, but a small number of people will also be unable to help but watch it through publicity.
Therefore, this behavior is generally very good.
Soon, these celebrities who booked the venue also began to update their Weibo updates.
"What life pursues is nothing more than peace and joy in the heart. The best in the world is the road of loneliness. Forward comments, please draw 5,000 viewers. Brother Chao asked you to see @Lin Yuan's upcoming movie "One Man's Martial Arts".
"Meet at "One Man's Martial Arts"! @The person you want to watch movies the most, draw 5,000 fans, and watch movies with me!"
"The main film is finally here! "The most handsome in history" martial arts fanatic Lin Yuan and his new work with Kung Fu superstar Donnie Yen. "One Man's Martial Arts" will come with Lin Yuan on a thrilling modern journey. Likes and comments will have the opportunity to get movie tickets!"
With these big bosses taking action, then, stars such as Zhang Yishan, Lu Director, Duan Yihong also followed suit, but they were not so generous. They included ten to fifty games, and they held fan draws on Weibo, and Lin Yuan promoted the movie.
Under this overwhelming publicity, netizens who have not fallen asleep quickly saw the news.
This made some netizens who were not interested in martial arts films unable to help but join the lottery. Anyway, you can participate in the lottery by forwarding it, and there is no cost. Besides, if you win the lottery, wouldn’t that be pleasant?
With this mentality, hundreds of thousands of netizens joined the camp of forwarding and publicity in a short while.
It is also under such crazy publicity.
In a manor on the outskirts of SH, a group of well-known big bosses were sitting at a round table playing poker.
While playing cards, we talked about the recent market business situation.
When talking about the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" that is expected to become the dark horse of the year and break the box office record, one of the middle-aged men suddenly said with interest: "It seems that there is an actor named Lin Yuan here. His first movie starring him is about to premiere. Instead of playing poker, why should we guess the box office of his premiere in a single box office?"
Those present are either the boss of the entertainment company or the real estate tycoon. If they don’t have some strength, they won’t be able to play on this table.
Gambling is common for them, but regular gambling makes them feel boring, so when everyone hears the bets guessing the premiere box office, everyone is very interested.
"It's all right to have a single box office for the premiere, but why don't you guess the total box office?" a real estate big boss hummed.
"That's right. It's meaningless to guess the box office in a single game. Just guess the box office!"
The proposal was immediately recognized by everyone, and soon they took the opportunity to start a private gambling game.
What I bet on is how much of the total box office of Lin Yuan’s new movie.
For these capital masters, this is one of the few small fun. Losing money and winning money are trivial matters in their opinion, because who really wants to compare has a higher vision?
With the gambling game.
Two of the real estate bosses thought about it and bet on [300 million box office]. The reason is very simple, they are not optimistic about Lin Yuan.
They have also invested in two or three movies, but they all found traffic stars. Although they have no acting skills, relying on the huge fan consumption of traffic stars, these movies can be said to have made a lot of money.
So in their opinion, although Lin Yuan has acting skills, he is not as good as those movie actors with box office appeal, and no fans like traffic stars. In this era when traffic is king, the audience will definitely prefer movies made by young and handsome guys.
However, most people bet on [box office 500 million], most of whom are entertainment company bosses and big bosses related to the film and television industry.
Their understanding of Lin Yuan is obviously more abundant than that of the two real estate bosses.
In their eyes, they don’t care what kind of traffic star Lin Yuan is or a powerful actor. This judgment was completely calculated from Lin Yuan’s previous box office results.
Lin Yuan has filmed movies with poor box office, such as "The Donkey Gets Water", but has also filmed "Charlotte's Troubles", which has recently become popular and is about to break through the box office record of "Lost in Thailand".
Judging from the current situation, there are so many stars who support it, and the box office should be around 500 million.
After the bet ended, everyone found that one person bet Lin Yuan could have a box office of 700 to 800 million.
Just when it was strange, I found out that this person was Yang Sanbao. After seeing that it was him, everyone felt relieved.
Because this person is a shareholder of Huayi Brothers, and "One Man's Martial Arts" is a movie jointly produced by Huayi and Emperor Ying, everyone disagreed with him when he was postponed and thought that the other party was just supporting him.
So, the other capital masters couldn't help but tease.
"Old Yang, you are here to give us money."
"You can say it even if you have a loss. If I remember correctly, this should be the first drama that this actor starred in? He is not a traffic star. Why can the first drama star reach 700 to 800 million?"
"It makes sense, I feel that it may only be 400 million to die."
Faced with the jokes from everyone, Yang Sanbao disagreed. He did not bet on 700 million to support the show, but he vaguely felt that this kid would bring him a surprise. Of course, he did not dare to guarantee the ending, and it ultimately depends on the final box office.
So Yang Sanbao smiled and did not argue.
It is also when these capitalists regard the total box office as a bet.
There are still more than twenty minutes left before "One Man's Martial Arts" is released.
I don’t know if the publicity was too good or what happened, but at this early morning, the major theaters were very lively.
The audience who bought the premiere tickets were ready to watch the movie and had already been waiting outside the theater for the ticket check.
In addition to the audience, even major media reporters came to major theaters to interview the audience who were preparing to watch the premiere.
"Hello, are you watching the movie "One Man's Martial Arts"?"
"That's right."
"Then can you tell me why you want to watch this movie? Do you like kung fu superstar Donnie Yen, or is it because the stars on the Internet have been promoting these two days?" media reporter continued to ask.
In his opinion, there were so many viewers watching the premiere at the scene, either for the kung fu superstar Donnie Yen or influenced by the publicity of so many celebrities across the Internet.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of how a martial arts film could allow so many viewers to watch the premiere in the early morning.
However, the next answer was beyond his expectations.
"I just want to see if the weapons in the Jiaqian Ge martial arts film are steel forks, can't it be?"
"Damn, Yuan Hua is in a martial arts film, it's exciting to think about it."
"I have guessed all the lines in the movie. I want Yuan Hua and Donnie Yen to do something, but I have to pay more."
"I have watched Lin Yuan's previous movies, but I really can't imagine this scene when he made martial arts movies."
Several viewers waiting in line to check their tickets replied.
For them, they came here specifically to watch the premiere of "One Man's Martial Arts". In addition to the overwhelming publicity of celebrities on the Internet, they were more about Lin Yuan.
Because Lin Yuan's previous image in the movie has really left a profound impact on them.
Whether it is the layman Jia Qian in "The Embroidered Spring Sword", the "Sea King" in "Ex-Story", the "feeling" image in "Passing Through Your World", or the recent Tide Sea Spirit in "Charlotte's Troubles".
They really couldn't think of what kind of image Lin Yuan would appear in this martial arts film.
This huge contrast of image is exactly what their audience is curious about.
Take the poster of "One Man's Martial Arts" in the theater for example. In the poster, Lin Yuan changed his previous image and his eyes were full of fierceness. The audience wanted to see if he created another classic character with his fierce appearance. This is enough to make these people willing to buy tickets!
And just as the media reporter was about to ask a question.
As the ticket inspector "started to check tickets", no one in the queue was willing to stay for an interview, and hurried into the cinema behind the line.
This is just a small episode before the release.
In the cinema, under the bombing publicity, the entire cinema was full.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"
As the familiar dragon mark appeared on the big screen, the audience in the theater looked up at the screen without any reservation, staring at it.
At the beginning of the movie, Xiahou Wu, played by Donnie Yen, appeared in the police hall with a bloody head.
Just seeing this scene.
The audience couldn't help but become curious. Can Lin Yuan play a tough character in this movie like a poster?
However, ten minutes passed and Lin Yuan did not appear in the movie.
The audience couldn't help but wonder if this was a feature film with the title of a martial arts film.
Fortunately, Donnie Yen's fight scene that was so hard that it attracted a lot of audience attention.
As the plot pushes.
Soon the camera changed and arrived at the Kowloon Museum of Art.
