From traffic to movie star

Chapter 213 The box office was crushed on the first day?
After the premiere of "Wolf Warrior", the spot screening opened on August 8.14.

Roadshows, premieres, and spot screenings, although there are relatively few shows before the official release, and word-of-mouth has not been fully fermented, Wei Xun's previous roadshows, which he ran for more than ten days, are still the basis of "Wolf Warriors". Word of mouth is very solid.

Most of the viewers who have watched this film gave very positive comments.

Bloody, high-burning, grand military-themed movies have already become the label of "Wolf Warrior" on the Internet.

And after the premiere, not only did the audience respond well, but even picky film critics gave "Wolf Warrior" a good evaluation.

"The plot is a bit secondary, and there are some small flaws, but it is undeniable that Wei Xun's tough guy transformation is very successful."

"A Chinese soldier character who breaks the conventional impression, he is the one who is not serious, and he is also the one who is resolute and courageous in defending the family and the country. I have to say that as a commercial film director, Wei Xun is really good at pleasing the audience."

"In fact, from the moment Wei Xun appeared in the movie with a military uniform and a manly face, I knew that "Wolf Warrior" was going to be a success."

Since "Wu Wen Xi Dong", several films directed by Wei Xun have continued to rise at the box office, but they are not very popular among film critics.

After all, this circle is keen to praise literary and artistic films, and has always found fault with purely commercial films.

And this time, "Wolf Warrior" has been affirmed by most film critics, which has to be a little surprising.

Even Wei Xun himself was a little surprised.

"Brother Xun, what are you thinking about?"

In the office of Medal Media, Mao Bin said with some amusement: "Although our films never need to care what the critics think, but this time "Wolf Warrior" can get their praise, it must be because of your good filming, yes What a strange thing."

After the screening of "Wolf Warrior", Wei Xun has been very concerned about the public's evaluation of this movie.

As for the reason, of course it is because the "Wolf Warrior" series caused a big backlash in another world.

To put it another way, people who love this movie are crazy about it, and people who don't love this movie feel uncomfortable watching it.

Especially "Wolf Warrior 1", the plot of this movie actually has a lot of flaws.

When Wei Xun was filming, he deliberately rectified the story of the script, and repaired some too embarrassing plots, so that the whole story seems to be in a "relatively reasonable" category and will not appear too exaggerated.

It can be said that the quality of the current "Wolf Warrior 1" is definitely much higher than the original version. From the plot to the degree of explosion, it is more in line with the standard of commercial blockbusters.

But don't forget, this is a main theme movie after all.

No matter how wonderful the shooting is, the core remains the same.

And the main theme is often able to poke some shameful points in the hearts of some film critics, triggering some kind of unreasonable backlash.

Just like the boy in the black peaked cap at the road show that day.

But Wei Xun searched through several famous film review magazines, forums, and the evaluations before the split, and found that most of the film critics really praised "Wolf Warrior" this time.

As for Wei Xun's doubts about why they chose to praise me instead of scolding me, Mao Bin was speechless.

Could it be that brother Xun has been scolded by film critics for being addicted in the past two years?

"There must be something wrong with some link, there is no doubt about it."

Hearing Mao Bin's words, Wei Xun shook his head, but he frowned and thought for a while, but he still couldn't figure out what the problem was, so he said, "Monitor the online reviews of "Wolf Warrior" at any time, and it will be officially released tomorrow. When it’s released, it’s always okay to be cautious.”

At least for now, it seems that the collective praise of "Wolf Warrior" by film critics is definitely not a trick of the opponent.

Because they are all normal compliments, and there are also some flaws and shortcomings in the plot, so it is not flattery.

Wei Xun felt strange because he was ready to be criticized.

Not only was it criticized by film critics, but it was also criticized by some extreme netizens.

You know, because of his participation in the "Wolf Warrior" series, Master Wu has been sprayed like a sieve in the next few years. Whenever his movie is about to be released, there will be a bloody storm on the Internet, which is more popular than the most popular traffic. The movement is terrible.

Now that the movie has not been released yet, let alone the online reviews, the film critics are the first to show goodwill towards "Wolf Warrior".

Wei Xun was a little puzzled.

But no matter what he thinks or not, "White Shark" and "Wolf Warrior" will be officially released on 8.16.

Compared to "Wolf Warrior", the marketing of "White Shark" is terribly exaggerated, with [-] positions on the hot search list, and on the day of the release, I bought more than a dozen hot searches!

And on the Internet, there is even a brainstorming troll!
"Bruno is indeed a tough guy, handsome!"

"The camera is beautiful and the atmosphere is scary. Recommended."

"Zhong Xianxian is super beautiful."

Under the terrifying marketing of "White Shark", the sense of existence of "Wolf Warrior" has even been squeezed to the corners.

What's even more exaggerated is that at noon on August 8.16th, Dynasty Entertainment once again gave out 3000 million ticket subsidies to help "White Shark" on the ticket purchase!
The total investment of a "Wolf Warrior" is 8000 million, and "White Shark" is just a ticket supplement, and it is [-] million!

After the theater chain was listed and its assets skyrocketed, Dynasty Entertainment had no shortage of funds. When it came to spending real money, it was really merciless.

It is also this lunatic method of smashing tickets to make up for it, which made the attendance rate of "White Shark" reach a terrifying level on the day of its release. Even in the next three days, the pre-sale box office of "White Shark" has been all the way. popular.

In the early morning of 8.17, the results of the previous day's premiere box office came out.

"Wolf Warrior" 1.82 million.

As for "White Shark", it harvested a shocking box office of 2.95 million yuan, and almost broke [-] million on the first day!

The gap between them is astonishingly large.

Because "Wolf Warrior" was completely crushed!
In the early hours of that day, Dynasty Entertainment had already released a draft overnight, and all major social media sites were full of news that "White Shark" beat "Wolf Warrior" at the box office on its first day.

""Wolf Warrior" narrowly lost to "White Shark" at the box office. The gap is obvious and cannot be surpassed!"

"The theme of military warfare is too unpopular, even Wei Xun can't move it. In the box office market at the end of this summer vacation, the final winner belongs to "White Shark"."

In the large conference room of Xunmeng Media, Wei Xun was having a meeting with several directors who stayed to work overtime.

"Wolf Warrior" received 1.82 million box office on the first day. To be honest, everyone is very happy.

But if the 2.95 million score of "White Shark" is ahead, then this happiness seems to be reduced by a little bit.

Wei Xun looked at the reviews of "White Shark" on the Internet, and his brows became deeper and deeper: "I still think there is a problem. "White Shark" may be a super bad movie."

After he finished speaking, Mao Bin, Zou Min and others looked at each other in blank dismay.

With a box office of 2.95 million on the first day, how could "White Shark" be a bad movie?
