Chapter 460 460. Sweet Dream?

Chapter 460 460. Sweet Dream?

General Manager Song's expression made Representative Liu feel a little bad. Before General Manager Song hung up the phone, he hurriedly asked: "Did you get the data? How much is the first-day pre-sale of Nie Wei's movie? Tell me quickly."

Manager Song swallowed his saliva, put down the phone first, and then kept a shocked look on his face and answered Representative Liu: "One... Eleven million pre-sale box office!"

"How much!?" Representative Liu felt that he was definitely hallucinating at this moment.

"Eleven million." Manager Song smiled bitterly and repeated the number. He was also very shocked at this moment. This data was almost catching up with the total pre-sale of their movie in three days.

Representative Liu still maintained the expression just now, with his mouth wide open and his eyes wide open, and his eyes were even more shocked and numb.

"Representative Liu? Representative Liu!" Manager Song called softly without any response, and then increased the volume.

Representative Liu gradually reacted, his face flushed, and suddenly screamed: "How is it possible, how is it possible to break 10 million in one day, impossible! You must have heard it wrong! This is impossible."

He really couldn't accept this result. In his original imagination, his movie's pre-sale box office performance was so good that he should have further seized Nie Wei's pre-sale box office performance, and his pre-sale box office was issued for two days first, but Nie Wei actually came from behind, and the pre-sale box office in one day was catching up with their three-day pre-sale box office. For Representative Liu, who was about to give Nie Wei a hard blow, it was too difficult to accept this reality.

"Representative Liu, don't get excited first. In fact, it is foreseeable that Nie Wei's movie pre-sale box office will be better." Although Manager Song was a little surprised at first, his psychological quality was much better than Representative Liu, and he quickly found the reason why the pre-sale box office of "Back to 20" broke 10 million.

The first is the personal appeal of Nie Wei and the stars in the play.

Needless to say, Nie Wei is the most popular artist in the Chinese circle. Whether he is an actor or a director, his fans are crazy about him. Nie Wei has never let them down. Whether it is the movies he starred in or his debut as a director, the quality is extremely excellent.

The heroine of this movie, Lin Yifei, is also one of the most popular female artists in the circle. The others, such as Huang Xiaoming and Hu Ke, are also famous. With such a super popular lineup, it is normal for the pre-sale box office to be higher with the support of fans.

Secondly, Nie Wei's reputation accumulated in previous years is willing to make the audience believe in him. This trust is also one of the main reasons that prompted the audience to pay for tickets.

Finally, thanks to the good publicity work done by Huayi in the past six months, Nie Wei and a group of leading actors always post some stills and highlights, or interact with each other on blogs, and have made a lot of efforts in the publicity of this movie, and the effect is naturally very good.

After listening to General Manager Song's analysis, Representative Liu also calmed down.

"Representative Liu, we don't have to worry at all. A large part of the mainstream audience of the Lunar New Year period is actually students, because they are on vacation and have a lot of free time. But at the same time, students definitely don't have much money in their pockets. Some even buy one movie ticket and don't have money to buy a second one. We are releasing the movie two days earlier than Nie Wei's movie, which will largely take away some of their box office revenue."

"Yes!" Representative Liu's eyes lit up, and he thought quickly, following General Manager Song's thoughts and thinking of another favorable condition for himself.

"There is another advantage of releasing the movie earlier. As long as our box office performance is good, we can further reduce the number of screens of the other party. I don't believe that those theater managers will not make money in front of them!"

"Hahaha, that's right!" Manager Song laughed and nodded in agreement.

"Then let Nie Wei be proud for a day, and he will cry in two days, haha." It seems that he was persuaded by his own reasons. Representative Liu's mood at the moment is also much better, and he even has a picture in his mind, imagining that his movie will occupy the Lunar New Year period tomorrow, and then Nie Wei and others will be anxious.

If Nie Wei knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh his teeth off.

Nie Wei was in a good mood now. The pre-sale box office performance on the first day exceeded 10 million, which was definitely a very good result. In addition, even if the pre-sale declined in the next two days, it was estimated that it would exceed 20 million. In addition to the box office data of the cinema on the day, the first-day box office of "Back to 20" might even exceed 30 million.

Wang Zhonglei was also very happy, but he was a little depressed after being happy, so he went to Nie Wei's office again.

"Nie Wei, the article you wrote is useless. I think it has a counter-effect." Wang Zhonglei said a little depressed.

"Brother Zhonglei, that's just an appetizer. Let them have fun first. The more the audience buys now, the more they will fall." Nie Wei replied with a smile.

This kind of thing is simply a matter of expectation. The higher the boasting before, the more picky the audience will be when they enter the cinema. Nie Wei's article is not about how to suppress "A Chinese Odyssey". In fact, few movies can be ruined by an article.

But that article can plant the seeds of doubt in the hearts of the audience. Originally, "A Chinese Odyssey" always used "A Chinese Odyssey" as a sequel to promote it. With that article, it is estimated that when the audience walks into the cinema, they will unconsciously demand the quality of this movie with "A Chinese Odyssey", and they also have a vague expectation that it will surpass the original.

But is it really that easy to surpass "A Chinese Odyssey"?

You must know that even in the past ten years, in countless Chinese comedy rankings, the "A Chinese Odyssey" series is basically ranked first, which shows how classic this movie is in the minds of the audience.

After all, this is a work that brings together the best actors at the time and Liu Zhenwei's peak creativity. It is a milestone movie in Chinese comedy.

And it is simply a fantasy for "A Chinese Odyssey" to be comparable or even surpass it.

When the audience's expectations do not meet expectations, even if the movie is up to standard, it will become a bad movie in the eyes of the audience. This is why many sequels are obviously well shot alone, but they are not up to standard in the eyes of the audience.

What Nie Wei has to do is to add fuel to the fire while the other party is constantly courting death.

It must be said that because of the other party's constant provocation, Huayi is now in a "state of war". Almost even the cleaning aunts feel the solemn atmosphere inside the company. The broom and mop moves that are usually open and open have become much more refined in the past few days.

However, as the commander of this war, Nie Wei seems very relaxed, and even specially watched the premiere of "A Chinese Odyssey" specially prepared before the release.

"You are really not worried at all." Wang Zhonglei saw that Nie Wei still had the leisure to watch this, and couldn't help asking.

"It doesn't hurt to take a look. It's just a matter of a few views." Nie Wei replied with a smile.

"I'm not as careless as you. Besides, the premiere of "Back to 20" has been prepared. There are 63 stars who will attend, including..."

"Stop, Brother Zhonglei, you don't need to elaborate on this." Nie Wei stopped Wang Zhonglei and said, "I think it's okay."

"That won't do." Wang Zhonglei disagreed with Nie Wei's statement and retorted, "Our premiere must be grand, and it must be more grand than the premiere of "A Chinese Odyssey". Didn't they invite a bunch of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars? We invited all the first-line stars from the mainland. I don't believe we will lose to them in our home court."

Nie Wei stopped refuting. He also saw that Wang Zhonglei just wanted to fight for his reputation.

It's no wonder. Although the other party mainly targeted Nie Wei, after all, "Back to 20" is a movie of Huayi. Whether it's for personal or official reasons, Wang Zhonglei feels that the other party's provocation is an offense to himself, so he must be serious with the other party and tell the other party that Huayi is not something that anyone can bully in the mainland.

Wang Zhonglei left, but Nie Wei was still staring at the screen, where a representative from Hong Kong Capital, surnamed Liu, was speaking.

"We are willing to invest in the mainland film market because we are optimistic about the prospects of the mainland film market. We will also bring Hong Kong Capital's advanced film technology and concepts to the mainland to lead the progress of mainland films, and "A Chinese Odyssey" is our first step..."

"Are you a leader?" Nie Wei chuckled, turned off the live broadcast, then picked up a mobile phone, found an anonymous number, and sent a text message directly.

"Get ready!"

Representative Liu was very proud at this time, and even the whole person could be described as high-spirited. Facing countless flashes, he felt quite enjoyable, and the constant compliments from the group of reporters made him feel a sense of euphoria. In addition, there were so many celebrities at the scene. Although he knew that most of them were for the face of the young master behind him, as the spokesperson of the young master, he also felt proud. He even thought that when he returned to Hong Kong Capital, he might have become a celebrity supervisor of the company.

Manager Song on the side was also smiling. The company hadn't had such a big scene for a long time. There were hundreds of reporters and so many big-name stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan. It was something that we couldn't even imagine before. Now it seems that Hong Kong investment is also very beneficial. At least the capital and connections are much stronger than before. Although the rights are greatly restricted, the actual benefits are also a great comfort.

The premiere that night seemed to be good, with constant laughter, which made Representative Liu and Manager Song more confident.

In addition, they also deliberately stuffed red envelopes for the media present, and a report of praise was bound to be inevitable. This also added strength to the movie, making Representative Liu and others look forward to tomorrow's box office data.

After the premiere, Representative Liu did not rest immediately, but came to the company with Manager Song.

Sitting in Manager Song's office, Representative Liu kept looking at his watch.

"It's almost midnight, and the first audience has probably entered the venue."

"Representative Liu, you should rest early. Nearly three million pre-sale box office revenue came from the first show in the early morning, so the results must be good. Go to sleep now, and tomorrow morning you will definitely get good news of a good start." Manager Song advised.

Manager Song cares so much about Representative Liu because he can't rest with him around, and he has to accompany him. Manager Song is not made of iron, he will get tired and want to sleep, but he dares not sleep when Representative Liu in front of him doesn't sleep.

"Yawn...Okay, wait until the first data comes out, and remember to text me as soon as possible." Manager Song's words made Representative Liu yawn. After all, as a company representative, he had dealt with media reporters and celebrities all night, and was very tired. After hearing what Manager Song said, he felt even more sleepy.

He simply stopped insisting and threw the task to Manager Song, but he didn't realize that when Manager Song heard his words, his face was as bitter as if he had eaten coptis.

Representative Liu ran back to the hotel to rest shamefully, while Manager Song had to wait for the specific data of the first movie box office today.

The total length of the movie "A Chinese Odyssey" is more than 100 minutes, and it may take more than two and a half hours to complete the box office statistics. After Manager Song asked the staff to notify him in time, he fell asleep in the company's lounge.

I don't know how long it took, but Manager Song felt the phone ringing in his daze. He subconsciously prepared to hang up the call that disturbed his sweet dream, but when his finger was about to press the hang-up button, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately shuddered, swiped his finger in the opposite direction, and pressed the connect button.

"Manager Song, good news, the first round of box office data is out, 4.7 million yuan, "A Chinese Odyssey" is now temporarily the box office champion of today."

"What do you mean temporarily, today's box office champion, no, this week's box office champion must be us!" Hearing that the box office of the midnight show directly won nearly 5 million, all the sleepiness of Manager Song disappeared, and the whole person was extremely energetic and full of self-confidence.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately wanted to call Representative Liu, but soon thought that it was so late, and Representative Liu would definitely not be as good-tempered as himself, so he did not call, but sent a text message instead to report the good news.

After finishing all this, Manager Song also turned off his phone and fell on the bed in the lounge happily. He believed that the next dream would be more beautiful than the previous one.

Just as Manager Song was thinking about having a beautiful dream, Nie Wei had not fallen asleep yet. He was also waiting for the end of the screening of "A Chinese Odyssey", but he was not looking for the box office data of the other party's first round of broadcasts, but waiting for this time.

"It can finally start." Looking at the watch, estimating that the time is almost up, Nie Wei immediately sent a text message with a brand new mobile phone.

And within less than ten minutes after this text message was sent, a group of users suddenly appeared in major film and television forums, film review websites, etc., like a venomous snake, and silently aimed their fangs at "A Chinese Odyssey" which was still immersed in the joy of victory, and then bit it instantly when the other party was unprepared.
