Chapter 205 203. All the way to success
"A dark horse appeared in the summer season, Turn Left, Turn Right's first night box office exceeded one million!"
"The spring of romance movies? Turn Left, Turn Right grossed two million in one night across the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong!"
"Hong Kong movies are fierce, new stars are in the spotlight, Turn Left, Turn Right grossed one million in the mainland on the first day, and many fans of Nie Wei booked the theater to support it!"
Almost all media related to film and television expressed surprise at the box office results of Turn Left, Turn Right on the first day in the mainland. You know, from the data, this movie actually ranked fourth on the box office list of the day, and the top three, except for a domestic big production, the other two were imported Hollywood works.
And that domestic big production, whether it is the cast or the investment strength, is several times higher than the movie Turn Left, Turn Right, but the box office results of Turn Left, Turn Right are only slightly lower than the other.
And this is just the box office data of this movie for one night. If it is for the whole day, then maybe it can make it into the top three of the single-day box office list.
Such a low-investment movie has achieved such good results, even though it has the popular base of picture books and the halo of Hong Kong movies, but this has exceeded people's expectations.
And beyond their expectations, naturally someone will explore the reasons, and soon everyone found that behind this new movie becoming a box office dark horse, there is an unexpected reason.
Idol effect!!!
Because they found that the main reason for the box office surge of the movie "Turn Left, Turn Right" was the movie viewing group private screening activity initiated by Nie Wei's fans, and what surprised them even more was that this was a spontaneous organization of fans.
Originally, in the eyes of professionals in the industry, Nie Wei could only be regarded as a newcomer in the film industry and had no appeal, but when the first night box office data of "Turn Left, Turn Right" came out, all these people were slapped in the face.
They completely underestimated the appeal of an idol and the loyalty of his fans. Even though Nie Wei was on the big screen for the first time, his fans had already supported him.
This incident was not only reported in print media, but also discussed more seriously on the Internet.
The Internet is not short of onlookers. "Turn Left, Turn Right" has emerged as a new force, and Nie Wei's fans have been showing off the "results" of the night on their blogs, which has also attracted the attention of many netizens.
"They can mobilize tens of thousands of fans to book a theater to watch a movie? It's too fake. Nie Wei has only been in the industry for two years, so how can he have so many fans? I always feel that this is fake news from their agency. I guess those who show off their tickets are all water army."
"What a strong cohesion. I went to their fan forum to check it out. It should be true. I didn't expect Nie Wei's fans to be so powerful."
"It's just the spontaneous behavior of fans. This kind of impulsive consumption will definitely not last long. I guess the box office of this movie will fall soon. It's too early for you to declare victory now."
"Stars who consume fans are the most shameful. There are tens of thousands of idiots supporting him, haha."
There are those who are amazed, those who are skeptical, those who analyze objectively, and of course those who pour cold water on him. There are even some people with ulterior motives who are trying to stop Nie Wei's fans from doing this in a "moral kidnapping" way.
Netizens are arguing loudly, and people in the circle are also paying attention to the future box office trend of this movie. However, as some comments under Nie Wei said, it is indeed unlikely that a movie can be supported by a group of fans. Perhaps today will usher in the decline of the movie "Turn Left, Turn Right".
However, no matter how you look at it, the movie "Turn Left, Turn Right" has made money. The box office explosion last night has caused major theaters to increase the screening rate of this movie, and the increase is 5%, which is undoubtedly a great help to this movie.
It's just that these negative comments made Nie Wei's fans, who had just won overnight, feel dissatisfied from the bottom of their hearts.
Jing Han is one of them.
"You said we are impulsive consumers? You said we are unorganized and undisciplined, and you also slandered Nie Wei for "seducing" fans. Damn, you bastards, I must use your own words to hit your own mouths, just watch."
Jing Han sat in front of the computer, opened the fan forum, clicked the "post" function button, and wrote the second call. That night, some theaters welcomed a familiar team at the door. They were organized, disciplined and well-educated. What made the theater owners like them even more was that these kids were very "capable". As expected, they came to watch the movie in a private theater again.
Just like the re-enactment of the event last night, Turn Left, Turn Right, which had a mediocre attendance during the day, exploded again at night.
The second day, the single-day box office data was 1.35 million!
Not only did it not drop sharply as predicted by the so-called experts, but it rose by nearly 30%, which really surprised a lot of people.
When Nie Wei got the news, he was resting in the hotel in Xiadu, preparing to return to Kekexili tomorrow.
Du Qifeng excitedly told Nie Wei the box office figures on the phone, and thanked Nie Wei again. Nie Wei quickly logged on to the website again, and saw Jing Han's very inspiring call.
The number of responses below was still over 10,000. Nie Wei browsed through it and found that many of them were old faces he had seen yesterday.
In other words, some of these children have even watched "Go Left, Go Right" no less than four or five times just to show support for themselves.
You must know that although the arrangement of this movie is quite clever, it does not have any suspicion that it deserves repeated viewings to understand. The average audience will probably be able to understand the details after watching it twice, and some serious viewers will even understand it after watching it once. It's enough, and these fans who have watched it four or five times definitely insist on going into the theater because of their support.
This support made Nie Wei's heart feel so heavy that Du Qifeng on the other side of the phone could no longer hide his laughter, and Nie Wei frowned slightly.
After hanging up the phone, Nie Wei sighed and looked out the window, eyes blank, thinking about the support left by fans in the forum.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. When he opened it, it turned out that it was Luo Yuan who had come to deliver supper.
"You must be hungry after a long day of flying. I know you are not used to airplane food, so I specially prepared it for you." Luo Yuan put the exquisite side dishes on the coffee table, looked at Nie Wei and asked, "She doesn't look too good. Okay, is there bad news from the movie side?”
Luo Yuan also read the comments and knew that some people were looking down on the movie's box office success, thinking that it had really come true, which was why Nie Wei suddenly felt so depressed.
But Luo Yuan obviously guessed wrong.
"1.35 million, just the mainland box office." Nie Wei told Luo Yuan the number that Du Qifeng had just given to her. After hearing this, Luo Yuan suddenly had a look of surprise on her face.
"That's great. Isn't this an increase? Why are you unhappy?" After the surprise, Luo Yuan became even more confused.
"No, I just haven't recovered from the news for a while. I didn't expect that the box office performance of my first movie would be so good." Nie Wei smiled and did not tell Luo Yuan her true thoughts.
"Haha, you're stupid. You should celebrate when the box office is good. If I had known I would have ordered a bottle of wine for you." Luo Yuan was happy for Nie Wei from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, she was also proud of being Nie Wei's assistant. Her star had achieved good results. Naturally, she would also take advantage of her achievements.
"There's no need to drink. Come and have some with me. It's not interesting for me to eat alone." Nie Wei calmed down his emotions and quickly recovered. He was not a sentimental character in the first place. The reason why he was feeling emotional just now was because of the support of his fans. It was caused by the intensity that moved him from the bottom of his heart.
Early the next morning, Nie Wei took the car sent by the crew and headed for Hoh Xil to complete the last shift for the film.
However, the film industry in the Mainland was in chaos because of Nie Wei's fan base.
Because this is so unscientific.
The box office data of "Go Left, Go Right" on the second day have improved a lot due to Nie Wei's fan base, and this movie also firmly occupies the top five domestic film single-day box office rankings. , and there is a faint tendency to attack the top three. This movie was originally considered to be difficult to break through 5 million, but if it continues to develop like this, wouldn't it be impossible to stop even 10 million?
And Nie Wei's fan base, which some people say will soon be powerless, has contributed a huge force, which has caused many experts in the circle who advocated the theory of "fans are useless" to be slapped hard.
And the slaps came one after another.
On the third day, "Go Left, Go Right" achieved a box office of 1.09 million, and on the fourth day, a box office of 910,000. Among these box office numbers, the contribution of Nie Wei's fan base is definitely considerable.
However, the decline in the consumption power of fans is indeed highlighted. Not only is enthusiasm reduced, but the key is that many people cannot afford to spend repeatedly with the same group. Nie Wei even saw on the forum that some fans even paid for living expenses and tuition fees in advance. Spend movie tickets.
To be honest, this kind of fanaticism put a considerable psychological burden on Nie Wei. He quickly contacted the administrator to stop the activities of the movie viewing group, but there were still some fans who secretly continued to use their meager strength to support Nie Wei's first movie.
Speaking of which, Nie Weineng established such a good relationship with his fans mainly because he learned the communication methods between later celebrities and fans.
Didn’t you see that when Tieba was the most popular, a second-tier female artist just relied on interacting with her fans. As a result, her Tieba always ranked among the top three in the Tieba popularity rankings.
So Nie Wei initially just wanted to give it a try, and started from the perspective of pursuing profits. However, after the incident of supporting the movie this time, Nie Wei's mentality also changed. The fans guided me so sincerely, Nie Wei already felt a heavy responsibility.
After Nie Wei asked the administrator to cancel the viewing group, I was originally worried that the movie "Go Left, Go Right" would suffer a major decline, but all worries were unnecessary. Because of the Nie Wei fan base, After several days of group viewing, the film unexpectedly attracted a lot of attention due to extensive media coverage.
Therefore, although the box office has declined, it is not significant. It is a decline in a healthy mode, which also makes opponents who are ready to watch a good show very disappointed.
Unknowingly, another week has passed, and the movie "Kekexili" has finally been completed.
As the only star actor in the entire crew, Lu Chuan specially arranged the last scene for Nie Wei. At the last "pass", the entire crew, from actors to staff, couldn't help but cheer loudly. This hellish shooting was finally over. finished.
"Let's go back to the inn to celebrate the filming! The tickets have been booked, and we'll all get out tomorrow!" Lu Chuan shouted with a ferocious face, throwing off his baseball cap.
"Okay!!!" Everyone responded loudly.
However, although many crew members thought about going home more than once during the filming process, when the day came, they felt reluctant to leave this place where heaven and hell were mixed.
Lu Chuan was one of them, and the worst one.
"It's great to think about going home, but I suddenly feel reluctant to leave here, the thin but pure air here, the cold wind here, the freezing water, the antelopes, wolves and leopards here, and the girl with a red face..." Lu Chuan was like a literary youth. He was about to leave this hell, but he suddenly looked reluctant.
"You won't be tortured by this place and get 'Stockholm syndrome'." Nie Wei couldn't help but complain when he heard these words.
"A little bit." Lu Chuan turned around, smiled embarrassedly, then stomped the ground under his feet and said, "I will definitely come back in the future. I will never forget this place."
"Me too!" Nie Wei also replied with a smile.
That night, more than 60 people from the crew filled the hotel. Tables were set up inside and outside the house. There was plenty of mutton and beef, and beer and liquor were also available.
"Nie Wei, I am most reluctant to see you leave. We young men have benefited a lot from following you for the past few months." The deputy captain of the patrol team, Ci Dan, hugged Nie Wei and said reluctantly.
You must know that Nie Wei really brought great changes to his patrol team. Not to mention other aspects, just Nie Wei's martial arts training for these patrol team members in the past few months has not only improved the skills of these brothers, but even saved the lives of the team members because of this improvement. He deeply remembered this kindness in his heart.
"I also like to be with you, but my home is in Kyoto, but I will never forget this place, Tseten, Zana and you, oh, and our Dawa." As Nie Wei was speaking, he saw Dawa pouring wine for everyone and shouted. The girl was not shy, she turned back and smiled at Nie Wei, and toasted with Tibetan etiquette. This girl full of ethnic style immediately made the men present howl.
"Okay, you are our brother, remember to come back often, come, drink this bowl of wine." Tseten shouted loudly, and then raised the wine glass towards Nie Wei.
Nie Wei was not polite, and also picked up the wine glass. The two drank it all. Then Zana also wanted to do the same as Tseten, but Nie Wei drank a glass. But at this moment, Nie Wei's mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Sorry, answer the phone." Seeing the number, Nie Wei's face was happy, and then he answered the phone.
Ten seconds later, Nie Wei hung up the phone and smiled at Zana, who was staring at him with his glass raised: "Don't drink yet, the gift I left for you is coming soon, do you want to come out and take a look?"
This sentence immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
