At that time, the needle pointed from eleven to twelve, and the date jumped from April 30 to May 1st.

The movie Detective Chinatown began to be officially screened in major theaters.

Since it was a weekend and the May Day holiday was over, there were many viewers entering the cinema.

In addition to the premiere of the movie Detective Chinatown, other movies competing for May Day also chose to be released on the same day.

Relying on the relationship between director Chen Sichen, Detective Tang is obviously much more screening than other movies in terms of film volume.

It is worth mentioning that the top topic on the hot search list on the Internet did have some impact on the movie Detective Tang.

Many couples decided to follow the critic's advice and exchange Detective Tang's first movie ticket for the movie ticket for BJ meeting Seattle. Anyway, watching movies is to enhance feelings. Since the critics say that Detective Tang is a bad movie, it would be better to exchange for BJ meeting a romantic movie like Seattle. Maybe after watching this movie, their distance tonight will become a negative number.

However, with the huge fan base of starring Lin Yuan and Wang Baoqiang, the first Detective Tang movie in major theaters still achieved a full effect.

At two o'clock in the morning, audiences came out one after another in major theaters.

Due to the different lengths of the film, the first one to come out was the audience who finished watching the movie Dream Partners.

Each of them looked dull and there was no joy or sorrow on their faces. Even the audience who watched the movie together had no intention of discussing the plot of the movie.

They only have one idea in their minds: they are both partners and inspirational films, but why do Chinese partners watch them excitedly and dream partners look numb?

After watching this one and a half hour movie, they didn’t even know what the story was about. The emotional line was abrupt and the business war was superficial. After spending dozens of dollars, they gave them a bowl of toxic chicken soup for starting a business, which was a waste of one and a half hours of their lives.

An audience member who regrets buying tickets to watch Dream Partners was about to leave when the BJ in the theater next door met the audience member who had just walked out of the theater after watching the BJ in the theater.

Seeing that the other person's face was as uncomfortable as him, he thought that the other person was watching the same movie as them, so he walked up to complain: "Brother, how did you feel after watching this movie? Are you particularly uncomfortable?"

"Stop talking, I brought my girlfriend here, saying it was a romance film or an art film. As a result, I didn't know what the movie was filming. After watching it for less than three minutes, my girlfriend said she went to the bathroom. Now that people have not come back." The big brother looked angry, and stood at the entrance of the cinema waiting for his girlfriend to come back.

"Love movie? Are you not watching Dream Partners?"

"What dream partner? I met Seattle with my roommate's BJ with Detective Down movie ticket, and I was still thinking about enhancing my relationship with my girlfriend."

“…”

The two looked at each other, and they were watching the same movie at all!

However, it doesn’t matter whether the same movie is the same. The two of them complained about bad movies, and finally they didn’t forget to add regretfully: It seems that there are no good movies to watch in this May Day.

Just when the two were having a hot chat, the audience who had watched Detective Tang walked out of the cinema.

The movie was already over, but everyone stayed in the cinema and watched the behind-the-scenes footage for a few minutes, which delayed some time.

The two of them were particularly complicated when they watched the audience coming out of the cinema talking and laughing, and they discussed the plot of the movie from time to time.

In Brother Xun's words, that is, "Humans' joys and sorrows are not connected, I just think they are noisy."

There is no doubt that the movies these people watch are obviously not bad movies they complain about.

From these passing people, the two vaguely heard the words "Detective Chinatown".

After hearing this, the audience who exchanged movie tickets with their roommates for a while was a little difficult to accept.

At that time, in order to grab the movie tickets for Detective Tang, he was still on the Maoyan software at three or four o'clock in the morning. His hard work paid off. Finally, he grabbed two consecutive photos. After seeing the movie critic's post online today, he decided to change the movie tickets with his roommate and stop the loss in time.

As a result, he never expected that this was a total shot in the foot.

Just as he regretted, two familiar figures passed by him, talking and laughing.

After seeing the two of them clearly, he widened his eyes: "Xiaoyu? Why did you come out with Wang Qiang?"

"Who asked you to change your movie tickets? That movie is too boring. Detective Chinatown is better..."

Before he could come back to his senses, Wang Qiang, who was beside him, said, "Xiaoyu, I bought the movie ticket for Detective Chinatown tomorrow. How about we come and watch it again tomorrow?"

"Um!"

......

Just after the first screening of major movies ended.

In addition to the Detective Chinatown movie, the reputation of several other movies on the Internet has begun to take a sharp turn for the worse.

"BJ Meets Seattle's Former Love Letter" is not a little worse than the previous work. If it continues to develop according to this reputation, I am afraid that this IP will basically announce the remnant after the movie is released.

The same is true for "Dream Partners", which is benchmarked against "Chinese Partners", but in fact, there is no level of plot for half of the Chinese partners. There are many logical loopholes. The audience who can persist in watching this movie and not complain about it is a cruel person.

As for the other two movies, one is worse than the other.

In the eyes of the audience, the only movies that can compete for the May Day box office championship are basically the only movies left.

Moreover, after the first movie was screened, the reputation of Detective Tang's film continued to rise, and the audience understood why so many media and critics had praised the movie before.

Compared with Detective Chinatown, the difference between a toy car and a truck.

Unless the movie Detective Tang is not released during the May Day holiday, once it is released, it will be a rampage. These movies in the same period have no power to resist.

As the reputation of the movie begins to collapse, the publishers of these movies have also begun to arrange the leading team to conduct various promotional activities, such as fan signature meetings, participating in variety shows, etc.

Although doing this is a way to quench thirst, it does have some effects.

This is the case in the domestic film market now. As long as the publicity is good, the box office on the first day will basically not be much lower. However, the final box office result still depends on the quality and reputation of the movie.

Just now, by two o'clock in the afternoon, the movie "Detective Chinatown" was basically hard to get a ticket.

Almost all the movie tickets for the day were sold out, and even the most unused position in the front row was not left.

In contrast, the attendance rate of several other movies released at the same time is less than 30%, and even during the afternoon period, the attendance rate is so low that it does not even have 10%.

In the face of such a result, Chen Sichen had no worries about the first-day box office. All he had to do now was to wait quietly for twelve o'clock tonight, and then watch the theaters send him the first-day box office data.

In the era of rapid development of the Internet, the box office on the first day was counted in less than an hour.

The first one to come out was "BJ Meets Seattle's Novel Love Letter", which had a box office of 60 million on the first day, which was still 40 million away from the box office of 100 million on the first day.

This result is acceptable.

You should know that the first movie "BJ Meets Seattle" has good reputation and box office. It is reasonable that this movie can win a first-day box office of 60 million under the halo of the previous work.

But judging from its current reputation, it is probably impossible to break through the box office record of the previous work.

Next is the box office of "Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty" and "Dream Partners", with the former 4 million yuan and the latter 9 million yuan, which is just one step away from 10 million yuan.

As for the first-day box office of "The Phantom of the Demon Palace", which was filmed by Beijing No. 81, there was not even a million yuan in the first day, only 870,000 yuan.

Four movies that claim to be able to compete for the box office championship during the May Day period are one worse than the other.

After the data of these movies were counted one after another, the box office of Detective Tang was counted within a few minutes of the first day.

The first day's box office was 18 million!

It is 30 million more than the first-day box office of all the movies released in the same period!

After looking at the data sent by the theaters, Chen Sichen directly opened the champagne in his hand to celebrate.

This time, Qin Shihuang ate peppercorns and won the hemp!

Like the movie "One Man's Martial Arts" starring Lin Yuan, the box office exceeded 100 million on the first day.

You should know that there is a reason why Lin Yuan's movie could have a box office of over 100 million on the first day. If most of the entertainment industry stars did not help him promote it, the box office could have exceeded 10 million? If he had to die, it would have been less than 20 million.

If Chen Sichen really started helping with his relationships in the circle, the box office on the first day might have reached 150 million!

Don’t forget the box office record holder, the movie Lost in Thailand, had a box office of only 39 million on the first day.

The first-day box office results of the film Detective Chinatown are likely to impact the box office record.

And the most important thing is that although his screening volume is more than that of several other movies, the gap is not obvious. After all, which director has nothing to do with the theater?

However, after the box office results on the first day, the screening volume of these movies will definitely be reshuffled. Unless these theaters do not want to make money, the film that won the large number of screening volume will undoubtedly be Detective Tang.

Judging from the current trend, there is definitely no problem with the box office exceeding one billion.

Maybe it can break the box office record set by "Charlotte's Troubles" in one fell swoop!

After confirming that the movie will not lose money and may even impact the box office record, Chen Sichen directly sent a red envelope of 200,000 yuan in the crew's WeChat group, and then began to discuss the time of the celebration banquet with the publisher and the producer.

......

When Lin Yuan saw Chen Sichen sending red envelopes in the crew's WeChat group, he knew that the box office data on the first day must have come out.

He did not rush to get the red envelope, but opened his cat's eyes and took a look.

The first day's box office was 18 million!

After seeing this data, Lin Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He thought that the film might have a very explosive performance, but he never expected that the box office on the first day would exceed 100 million.

However, after seeing the box office of "BJ Meet Seattle's Novel Love Letter" with 60 million, Lin Yuan suddenly felt much relieved.

It has to be said that the reason why Detective Tang won so many box offices is obviously inseparable from the development of the market. If it were a few years ago, the results of the movie that had a box office of over 30 million on the first day would have exploded. However, there are more and more movies that had a box office of over 10 million on the first day.

Originally, Lin Yuan thought that Detective Chinatown wanted to win the box office championship of the May Day movie, and he would have to go through a cruel battle, but now it seems that he was completely over-thinking.

After turning off Maoyan, Lin Yuan also opened Weibo and started browsing.

As soon as I opened the software, what caught my eye was the poster of Detective Tang, but there were six words on it: "The box office of the first day exceeded 100 million."

It seems that the film publisher is still very concerned about promotion. It has started a large-scale publicity just a few minutes after the box office on the first day.

But this kind of thing is normal.
