The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 805 Goes Up Against the Trend 【Addition】

In the end Daniel succeeded in his apprenticeship, because he promised to donate 1 US dollars of tuition to the teacher every year, and then Song Hua accepted the younger brother with satisfaction. Although he still does not know why this foreigner wants to worship him as his elder brother, but $1 is the real deal.

Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chen didn't pay homage to their elder brother, not because they felt that this behavior was too shameful, but because they felt that Song Hua and I were not very reliable.

Since this Song Hua is a disciple of Wudang Mountain, there must be a more intelligent brother in Wudang Mountain. At least Zuckerberg plans to take some time to visit Wudang Mountain recently.

And Priscilla Chen is actually the one who has the least interest in self-cultivation among the three. She just wants to see the excitement, and now that she has seen the excitement, it's time to leave.

In the end, Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan left, and Daniel stayed, intending to be taught by his master day and night.Because he went out of his way to understand some Chinese traditions, and knew that apprentices were to live in the master's house, which was called the master's door.

Well, Song Hua generously agreed to his monthly accommodation fee of 1000 US dollars.

While Zuckerberg is pursuing the legendary mysterious power of the East, on the other hand, the film Misty Journey has shown signs of a small explosion.

Many movie theater owners were surprised to find that the audience continued to increase during this period of time when there was no passenger flow on weekdays, and these audiences came specifically for this movie that they had not liked before.

On the third day after the movie was released, a piece of news suddenly appeared on the homepage of Tomato.com: Tomato received 3% positive reviews, and the world's strongest fantasy movie was born.

At this time, Tomato.com has become the largest movie review website in the world. Every day, many users search for those high-scoring movies on Tomato.com, and then check the attached movie reviews to find excellent movies that can pass the time.

And fantasy movies are the key target that many people are looking for. After all, compared to those obscure literary movies, fantasy movies with big production, special effects and big scenes are the favorite of countless ordinary audiences.

Then they saw the news with the highest praise rate that suddenly appeared.

The calculation of Tomato.com’s praise rate is relatively strict. Tomato.com provides audiences with two different scoring methods: professional scoring and audience scoring. Both audiences and professionals can score from 1-10 to generate professional and audience scores. ratings are independent of each other.

However, the positive ratings are aggregated together, and the ratings of the audience and professionals are combined for statistics, and only users who score above 9 points, that is, users who score 9 points and 10 points, can be counted. It is well received.

In other words, among all the audiences and professionals who rated this movie, more than 95% of them gave a high score of 9 or more, which is a very outrageous statistic.

You must know that Lord of the Rings, which ranks second, currently only has a favorable rate of 89% on Tomato.com. This movie actually surpassed Lord of the Rings' favorable rate of 6%!

It's a veritable #1 fantasy genre.

In fact, even if this favorable rating is put into all movies, it can still be ranked in the top 10, and it is full of top god movies such as The Godfather and The Silence of the Lambs.

Such a high-rated movie appeared on Tomato.com and was promoted on the homepage, which naturally aroused the curiosity of countless users.

Take a look at the various comments given below these positive comments. Unification is the strongest fantasy in history.

Or the mysterious oriental fantasy, opening up an unimaginable world for you.

Or even though I didn't understand it very well, the unit was shocked, anyway, the praise was ridiculously high. In this way, many people who were not interested in this movie at first became interested, and then entered the theater, wanting to watch it See what a step-by-step movie this is.

This is actually the benefit of having fewer viewers.

It's a bad thing when a film initially comes out with a small audience, but it's also a good thing in some ways.

Just like Boss Huang’s own analysis before, because only those who are interested in oriental fantasy movies will watch this movie at the beginning, and the overall base of these people is relatively small, so they can give relatively high score.

Just like a movie like Brokeback Mountain, if there is not a lot of publicity, only comrades will go back to watch it at first, and then they think the movie is very good, and the ratings on the Internet will be very high.

When more people go to watch movies because of these ratings, many ordinary viewers will feel unbearable and give relatively poor scores, and then the overall rating will be pulled down again.

This is also the case for Misty Journey. The 95% favorable rate is mainly because the audience who will watch it immediately are those who are interested in oriental fantasy. In addition, the quality of the film is really excellent, so the favorable comments given are quite high. It's no surprise that the Lord of the Rings series has surpassed even the pinnacle of fantasy cinema.

I believe that after more ordinary audiences watch the movie in the future, this score should still be reduced...

So, at least from now on, the word-of-mouth of "Misty Journey" began to further ferment, and many viewers who watched it couldn't help but began to take the initiative to amway their friends to watch this magical oriental movie.

Then the movie box office of Misty Journey began to go on the road to an amazing comeback against the trend.

On the first day of its release, Misty Journey had a national box office of less than $1 million.

By the second day, the box office had risen to about 2 million, and the sum of the two days was only 520 million. Based on this data, the total box office of this movie should not exceed 1020 million.

As a result, the box office of the movie soared to 3 million on the third day, and 720 million on the fourth day.

Then came the fifth day, when word-of-mouth exploded, and the box office generated 5 million in one day, which was directly doubled compared to the previous day.

And such a huge increase also shocked the theater bosses, and at the same time, they simply increased the screening rate of Piao Miao Journey.

Anyway, there aren't any big-budget movies in this schedule, and since this Misty Journey can buck the trend, there's no reason to let it go without making money and not increasing the rate of defecation for others!

So a very rare scene in film history happened. Under normal circumstances, a film has the highest screening rate on the first day of release.

As a result, Piao Miao Journey got the highest rate in its history on the 7th day of its release, which was as high as 41%, which means that 41% of theaters in North America were playing Piao Miao Journey.

Then this screening rate lasted for about a week, until a new movie was released, crowding out the screening rate, and the screening rate of Misty Journey slowly dropped.

But in this one week, Piao Miao Journey actually won the box office of 2.5 million US dollars in one breath, and the box office of the second day was higher than that of the previous day. The whole box office growth momentum against the trend was fully maintained for two weeks.

Until the 16th day, with the arrival of the Christmas schedule, under the impact of a large number of new blockbusters, the daily box office began to decline, but this is already an extremely terrifying data.

And those Hollywood media who previously ignored the Misty Journey have also begun to report a lot of news about the box office counterattack of Misty Journey. This is also the key reason why the box office can continue to rise in the second week. Every day After seeing the reports, a large number of viewers who were curious about such a movie that could rise against the trend poured into the theaters, wanting to see what this legendary oriental fantasy special effects production looks like.

Then everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that this movie is really so grand and magnificent, and the world view is so shocking. Countless Americans are attracted by this magical world from China, actively or passively. For the sake of tap water, I started to share this movie with people around me.

However, Piao Miao Journey is still limited by the subject matter after all.

Although many people will choose to watch this movie because of their curiosity about oriental fantasy.But more people choose to give up without hesitation after seeing this is an oriental fantasy movie, and they don't want to waste time watching such a movie that they are not interested in at all.

So on the 16th day, the daily box office finally dropped for the first time, from 1 million US dollars on the 15th day to 3 million US dollars on the 120th day, and then dropped to 16 million US dollars on the 2th day .

As a result, many film critics wrote articles swearing that Misty Journey has entered a downward range, and the total box office may be able to exceed 4 million US dollars, but basically lost the possibility of breaking through 5 million US dollars.

This will be a film that will be famous in film history in 2004, but in the entire film history, it is just a film with a better box office.

"It's a pity, this movie is really good. When I left the theater, I was even willing to spend 1 dollars to see the second movie immediately!" On a variety show, a famous film critic said in an interview .

"Then what if the second movie is released next month? If so, what do you think will happen to the box office of the second movie?" the host asked curiously.

"That's definitely skyrocketing! It's normal for the total box office to exceed 5 million US dollars, but that is to say, the second movie may have to wait until next year. I hope most audiences will not forget this movie by then. Anyway, I I should watch it!" The film critic said cheerfully on TV.

But at that time, almost all audiences regarded this as a normal joke. Although many audiences who had watched the movie were also looking forward to the second part, no one really believed that the second movie would be released next month.

Then, on the 1th day after the release of the first part of Misty Journey, almost all movie-related media and magazines published a report in a prominent position.

"A Journey to the Ethereal Part 2 will be released on January 2005, 1"
