Just after the box office results of the first movie came out, the theater company immediately sent a message to Star.

Under the eager gaze of everyone, Star Master clicked on the text message and had a panoramic view of the box office data of the first movie of "Mermaid".

After showing a satisfied smile, Mr. Xing coughed twice and cleared his throat: "Our movie will be shown at 12 o'clock for a total of 12,733 times, and the box office for the first show... is 2,800

Ten thousand!"

"Hiss, 28 million?!"

"Star Director, you're not kidding us, are you?"

"Twenty-eight million, isn't this higher than the first-day box office of other movies?"

"Oh my god, don't the audience sleep at night?"

As Master Xing's voice fell, Luo Zhixiang, Lin Yun and other leading actors couldn't help but be shocked.

The first screening was more than 10,000 times, which they can understand. After all, Mr. Xing’s face is here. There are more than 10,000 theaters across the country, and there is probably no theater that is unwilling to show Mr. Xing’s new movie.

But this first box office performance was a bit too exaggerated?

They have never starred in a movie with such explosive results before!

Even "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", also directed by Xingye, has a much more luxurious cast than "The Mermaid", but the box office of the first movie was only over 10 million.

If it is the first day of the release of other movies, theaters will usually arrange three to five movies to test the water, but this movie "Mermaid" is different. With the two golden signatures of Xing Ye and Lin Yuan, the total number of screenings on the first day is

It will definitely not be less than ten games. Based on this calculation, even if the attendance rate in the morning and afternoon is not too high, it is a certainty that the box office will exceed 100 million on the first day.

Even with such exaggerated first-time box office results, the movie "Mermaid" is expected to become the first domestic movie to have a box office of over 200 million on its first day!

In this case, it's no wonder that Mr. Xing smiled so happily.

When he thought that he was about to become an actor with a box office of over 100 million on the first day, Luo Zhixiang couldn't help but feel excited. After thinking about it, he suggested: "Our movie has done so well, why don't we go out to celebrate?"

"OK!"

"I think it's OK. It's an early celebration of our movie's box office exceeding 100 million on its first day!"

Actors such as Zhang Yuqi and Lin Yun expressed their agreement.

From the beginning of promoting the movie, to participating in the premiere, accepting media interviews, preparing for road shows... After this combination of punches, the creative team has not had much rest this month, and now the movie is opening

After the box office came out and it was confirmed that the box office on the first day would exceed 100 million, the stone hanging in everyone's heart finally fell.

It is understandable to want to take this time to go out to celebrate and relax.

Master Xing did not sway everyone's interest, and replied very readily: "Okay, you can go and relax together. Then just ask Producer Jiang to reimburse the expenses. But I won't go, I still have some things on hand."

If he had been ten or twenty years younger, I am afraid that Luo Zhixiang would not even have to say anything, and Mr. Xing would just take everyone out to celebrate.

Secondly, he still has to talk to the theaters about arranging the film. After the final box office is released, it won't be too late to call the entire crew to hold a celebration banquet.

Luo Zhixiang nodded upon seeing this and didn't say anything more.

Instead, he looked at Lin Yuan aside: "Brother Yuan, let's go out and relax together."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and refused: "You go ahead, I have something else to tell Master Xing, so I won't delay you."

"Okay."

After that, Luo Zhixiang gave the others a look, and they all walked out of the room talking and laughing.

The originally lively room suddenly became much quieter.

Master Xing looked at Lin Yuan and asked, "Lin Yuan, you said you have something to do with me?"

"It's not a big deal." Lin Yuan took out a stool and sat down, explaining calmly: "I just wanted to ask Mr. Xing if you have any plans for the future. I may have something to do here in the next two days.

If the movie promotes these things, it might have some impact."

In two days, the Beijing Film Academy training class will begin.

He happens to be in BJ right now. If there is nothing else to do with "Mermaid", he can just go to the Film Association and get familiar with it in advance.

Master Xing patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder and replied in a relaxed tone: "The movie has already been released, why are we promoting it? If you have something to do over there, just go there."

Master Xing is not wrong in saying this.

If the movie hasn't been released yet, the publicity from the film's creators and the overwhelming discussion on the Internet can build up expectations among the audience.

But now that the movies have been released, the audience is not clueless. Whether the movie is good or not can be clearly seen by looking at the online reputation. This can be seen from movies like "Grand Trail", otherwise

How could it be possible that the box office on the first day exceeded 100 million, and then it only took 250 million after 29 days of release?

Seeing that Mr. Xing said this, Lin Yuan was relieved.

On one side is the movie promotion, and on the other side is the Beijing Film Academy training class organized by the Film Association. Things on both sides are relatively important. Fortunately, there is nothing on the "Mermaid" film crew, so he can rest assured to prepare for the Beijing Film Academy training class.

...

In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Yuan was preparing for the Beijing Film Academy training class. After a while, he heard cheers coming from outside the corridor.

When we asked, we found out that just now, the box office of the movie "Mermaid" had exceeded 100 million!

Although Lin Yuan has starred in so many successful works, he had a surprised expression on his face after hearing the news.

You must know that the movie was released on time at 12 o'clock in the morning today. There are still nine hours before the box office ends on the first day. Before the evening peak of the movie market has arrived, it has already won 100 million box office. This achievement

It's a bit too outrageous...

Judging from this situation, the movie "Mermaid"'s box office exceeded 200 million on its first day. It seems that it is not a problem!

In the face of such amazing results, Lin Yuan couldn't help but become curious about the reputation of the movie "Mermaid".

Open Weibo and take a look.

The cover that was supposed to celebrate the New Year has been replaced by a movie poster for "Mermaid".

The number of discussion topics related to "Mermaid" has reached the top position. Six of the top ten entertainment search topics are related to the movie "Mermaid". The remaining four topics are respectively discussed by netizens.

"Hot Pot Heroes", which was used to "whip corpses", "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou, "Three Strikes of Bone Demons" starring Guo Fucheng, Gong Li and Feng Shaofeng, and "Kung Fu Panda 3", whose predecessor had a relatively good reputation at the box office.

It's just that except for the movie "Mermaid", the comments on other movie topics are full of curses.

They all spend money to watch movies. The audience who watched "Mermaid" laughed happily in the theater, but they were in prison in the theater, watching the cliché and boring jokes, and barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

They are both Spring Festival movies, so why is the gap so big?

After surfing at high intensity and reading the comments from netizens for a while, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

The movie "Mermaid" continues Xingye's nonsensical comedy style and is definitely a masterpiece among comedy movies this year, but it is definitely not as awesome as netizens praised it.

Even if Lin Yuan is the leading actor, he will blush after reading the praises from netizens.

In fact, if netizens are really allowed to find faults, they will definitely find many shortcomings in the movie. For example, after the movie was released, many film critics have pointed out the problems with the movie "Mermaid", but this does not affect it at all.

They gave the movie "Mermaid" high marks.

The reason is simple.

There are problems in the movie "Mermaid", but the flaws are not outweighed and will not have any impact on the story of the movie.

After all, "Mermaid" is essentially a half-hour commercial movie. How is it possible to achieve perfection?

The most important thing is that whether the movie "Mermaid" is compared with "The Great Wall", "Three Fighters" and "Kung Fu Panda 3" which were released on the same day, or it is compared with "Hot Pot Heroes" which is also under the banner of comedy.

By comparison, the gap between the two sides is immediately exposed.

As Guo Degang often jokes about himself: "It doesn't matter how good I am, it all depends on the support of my peers."

This is the situation now in the movie "Mermaid".

They are also big-budget movies. The investment for "Mermaid" was 300 million, and the investment for "The Great Wall" was 1 billion, which is three times as much as the movie "Mermaid". Moreover, both Zhang Yi and Stephen Chow are top domestic filmmakers.

Logically speaking, the movie "The Great Wall" must account for the same amount of both box office and reputation, right?

But as a result, the box office of "Mermaid" has now exceeded 100 million, while the box office of "The Great Wall" has just exceeded 50 million.

Not to mention the comedy movies of the same period, whether it is "Hot Pot Heroes", "Three Fighters", or the animated comedy "Kung Fu Panda 3", none of them can be compared with "Mermaid".

You must know that the movie "Mermaid" was directed by Xingye. Even though Xingye's level of comedy movies has declined significantly in recent years, the skinny camel is bigger than a horse. With his familiar nonsensical comedy style, he can still make the screen better.

The audience in front of the curtain burst into laughter.

While the reputation of other movies has collapsed, and only "Mermaid" has exploded in reputation, more and more viewers have changed their viewing target to the movie "Mermaid".

As the last movie screening ended in the early morning, the first-day box office of "Mermaid" was quickly calculated.

After seeing the box office data on the first day, Star was silent for a moment, and then sent a series of exclamation points in the crew's group chat.

Master Xing: “!

!

!”

Everyone in the crew was paying attention to the time. After seeing Master Xing posting a message in the group chat, they subconsciously thought that Master Xing would reveal the first-day box office soon. However, after waiting for a long time, they did not see Master Xing post a message.

Second message.

Luo Zhixiang: "Master Xing, has the box office been released on the first day?"

Lin Yuan: "It should be, otherwise Mr. Xing wouldn't send so many exclamation points. I'll go take a look first."

Lin Yuan cut out of the group chat and opened the Maoyan software to check the real-time box office of "Mermaid".

It can even scare the stars and send out a series of exclamation points in the group chat. The movie's first-day box office performance is obviously extraordinary.

After finding the movie "Mermaid" by familiar means, he was stunned when he looked at the real-time box office column, which started with a 2 and followed by a total of 7 0s.

Two seconds later, in the crew's group chat.

Lin Yuan: "!

!

!

"

Just after Lin Yuan imitated Master Xing and issued a string of exclamation points, the others couldn't bear it anymore. They originally wanted Master Xing or Lin Yuan to tell them the box office results on the first day, but now it seems that they still have to do it themselves!
