You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 646 ① Killing like crazy ② Ten billion in three days ③ Breaking the record!
On the way back from the premiere of "Wolf Warrior 2", Yang Mi was still very excited.

"This movie is so cool, the pace is so good, it's a textbook example of a cool movie, Jing Ge punches Thanos, oh yeah, that actor is Thanos, right?"

"Yes, Josh Brolin," Wang Quan replied.

Although "Avengers 3 and 4" have not been released yet, Josh Brolin has already appeared in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Avengers 2". Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, he was full of oppression. It's a pity that he has not yet reached his peak popularity.

Concubine Liu Yi could not understand Yang Mi's excitement because when the movie was showing, she and Wang Quan were doing something more exciting behind everyone's backs.

"Then I'll find time to watch it again later. Do you want to join me?" she asked Wang Quan. She thought Wang Quan hadn't watched it either.

In fact, Wang Quan watched it, not only in the film and television library, but he also watched the movie from the first version after production was completed to the final version after continuous revisions. After all, he was nominally the producer of this movie.

Wang Quan also told the two girls of Xianmi, "During the final preview evaluation, this movie received the highest score since Wang Dao had a preview system."

"Ah, so powerful, is it more powerful than "Leng Feng"? " Liu Yifei couldn't believe it.

Wang Quan nodded. "The audience's popularity is slightly higher. The Maoyan score of Leng Feng is 9.6, and Wolf Warrior 2 may reach 9.7."

9.7 points is a high score that has not yet been achieved on Maoyan, which means that the theater audience’s satisfaction is almost full marks.

Yang Mi also said: "I will recommend this movie to our old Yang when I get home, and ask him to take his wife to watch it. This movie is definitely a favorite of middle-aged men like them."

Liu Yifei: "Hearing what you said, it seems that you are not my type."

Yang Mi sneered and said, "Of course not. This movie is suitable for good Chinese youth like us who have a red heart towards the sun. You are not even a member of the group, so you will definitely not like it."

"Ah, isn't it an action movie? It's also a patriotic movie. Actually, I am also very patriotic." Liu Yifei said seriously.

“A patriotic action movie.”

Wang Quan said: "First of all, it is a very good and mature action film, and then it has some patriotic elements. This is my view on this film."

"So how much do you think this movie can earn at the box office?" Yang Mi asked.

Wang Quan's eyes moved, "Why, you want to make a bet?"

"Sure!" Yang Mi said, "Well, after Xixi has finished reading, let's make another bet to see who guesses more accurately. The losers will each donate 1000 million."

Concubine Liu Yi hurriedly said, "Donate it to the Wang Quan Concubine Liu Yi Charity Fund."

Yang Mi: “Sure!”

In order to abstain from sex, Wang Quan did not sleep with Xianmi and the others at night. He could not go out and tell others, so he just spent the night in the guest room.

If successful, good news could be had in a little over a week.

On July 7, "Wolf Warrior 27" was officially released, which was the release date Wang Quan set for Wu Jing at the beginning.

Moreover, the film will start at 27 p.m. on the th, so that it can be staggered with "The Founding of an Army" which will be released the next day, so as to avoid being too confrontational.

Because it is not released until after 2pm, the screening of "Wolf Warrior 11" today is only 3%. The main screening is still the most popular "Sewing Machine Band". Children are dragging their parents to watch "Despicable Me ", which also has a box office of billion.

Old Yang followed Yang Mi's advice and brought his wife Yang Chunling to the Dawang Cinema near their home.

Lao Yang has watched a lot of movies during this period. He supports Mi Shi's "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia" and has also watched other popular movies such as "The Lobster Cop" and "Sewing Machine Band".

It can be said that he has produced many excellent works, but because of his profession, he prefers "The Lobster Cop", a comedy, but because it is about a detective story, it is quite exciting in the end.

Lao Yang’s biggest regret in life is that he didn’t become a criminal policeman.

The cinema was very busy. The attendance rate for "Wolf Warrior 2" was very high, with the theater about 3% to % full, and it was in D.

Old Yang started to exclaim "WTF" after watching for a while. The bullet shot by Wu Jing almost hit his eye. That smooth action scene in the water seemed to have no editing points at all. It was so well shot.

After that, the mood relaxed a little. Yu Qian's appearance made people happy, even though he seemed to be a profiteer.

It just relaxed for a moment and then immediately tensed up again, then loose, tight, loose, tight.

Lao Yang was watching the movie intently, but he was worried that his wife might not like this kind of action movie. As a result, when he turned his head slightly, he saw that she was more immersed in it than he was.

The two-hour movie is relaxed to a certain extent, but the energy continues at the end, especially when Wu Song shouts "fire" without waiting for his superior to finish reading the order. Seeing so many artillery shells flying, Lao Yang seemed to see the outline of a rising great power.

At this moment, his eyes even became wet.

He thought that his biggest regret in life was not serving in the army.

At the same time, in another cinema, Liu Yifei and her mother Liu Xiaoli were also watching this movie. It was a special show for couples, with fewer people but a higher attendance rate.

After reading it, Liu Yifei also had tears in her eyes.

Liu Xiaoli twisted her mouth and felt that the photo was a bit too idealistic. Can your Chinese passport be as useful as your American passport?

This may also be the idea of ​​some people on the Internet, but compared with those viewers who are proud of their Chinese passports, the proportion is too low.

After returning, Liu Yifei told Yang Mi and the others, "I think the box office can exceed 35 billion, breaking the record in film history!"

Yang Mi hehe: "I feel like you underestimated this movie, I bet 41.08 billion!"

Wang Quan: "Oh, there are still decimal places, so I'll add another 10 billion, so 51 billion."

"Ouch!"

Xianmi and the other person looked at Wang Quan in disbelief.

Yang Mi: "Do you know how big a number 51 billion is? It requires about 1.5 million moviegoers, which means one in ten people in China has seen it."

Liu Yifei: "You are seeking defeat on purpose, right?"

Wang Quan chuckled: "Let's wait and see, 1000 million is ready."

After 0 o'clock, "Wolf Warrior 2" grossed 1.02 million yuan on the first day, which is similar to the original time and space. Although the market has become bigger, the opponents have also become stronger. "Sewing Machine Band" invited Beyond to come out, and the sentimental card was played very well. There are also many other popular films.

And on the next day, Friday, the mainstream blockbuster "The Founding of an Army" will also be released.

The main participants in the previous two films, "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Founding of a Party", are Qiankun, Huayi and Wangdao.

This time, Bona is the core, but of course, China Film still gets the lion's share.

Huang Jianxin will definitely not get involved, so the Bona team invited Liu Weiqiang, the director of "Infernal Affairs", this time.

Huang Jianxin is no longer there, but Han Sanping was brought in to serve as supervisor and producer.

With the retired Han Sanping in the cast, although it is not as good as the previous two films, it is also star-studded.

The male lead is Liu Ye, and there are four handsome boys.

The second male lead, Zhu Yawen, is the representative of the new generation of tough guys.

The leading actress, Li Wei, is almost one of the four young actresses born in the 90s. In addition, because the cast is young, popular idol actors such as Ou Hao, Liu Haoran, Zhang Yixing, Lu Han, Huang Xuan, Li Yifeng, Chen Xiao, Li Xian, Peng Guanying, and Han Dongjun all appear in the same movie, which is still very attractive to young audiences.

Bona's Yu Dong had long determined that the main theme meal would be delicious, so after Han Sanping left, he followed Mr. La's steps and finally got this big pie. Their goal is to start with 10 and sprint to 20 billion.

For this purpose, Yu Dong also brought in Hong Kong's Media Asia and Yinghuang Entertainment, and with sufficient funds for publicity and promotion, it got 32% of the screenings on the premiere day, while "Wolf Warrior 2" got 38%. The two films together took up 70% of the screenings.

"Sewing Machine Band", which has only been released for two weeks, had a screening rate of over 30% yesterday, but today there are only a dozen spots left, and this is Friday.

The precipitous drop in box office sales was devastating.

Today's box office performance exceeded many people's expectations.

"The Founding of an Army" is completely powerless against "Wolf Warrior 2".

Soon, "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeded 2.3 million, and after dark it exceeded million. At the end of the day, the single-day box office exceeded million!
However, "The Founding of an Army", which was only a few spots behind in terms of screening time, had a box office of 6000 million!
The gap is almost four times!
The full-day attendance rate of "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeded 40%, with an average of 55 people per show.

"The Founding of an Army" only has 18, which is not as good as "Sewing Machine"'s 21.

Cinemas also need to make a living, and the gap was too shocking. The smart cinema manager quickly adjusted and increased the screening of "Wolf Warrior 2" and reduced the screening of "The Founding of an Army" the next day.

So on Saturday, the screening rate of "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeded 40%, while "The Founding of an Army" was less than 30%, and "Sewing Machine" remained unchanged.

The gap continued to widen throughout the day.

"Wolf Warrior 2" achieved a single-day box office of 3.1 million yuan, and "The Founding of an Army" was 6000 million, a five-fold increase!

If we follow general market rules and the box office on Sunday is lower than that on Saturday, "Wolf Warrior 2" will be a standard movie with a box office of over 30 billion yuan.

But "Wolf Warrior 2" is obviously not.

The movie received an unprecedented 9.7 points on Maoyan, and even the competing platform Tao Piaopiao scored 9.6, the highest score.

That is to say, the Douban score is lower, but it is also 7.5 points, which is not as good as "Leng Feng", but higher than the first part of "Wolf Warrior".

On Sunday, "Wolf Warrior 2" sold like crazy, reversing the decline to 3.6 million!
This result broke the single-day box office record in mainland China held by "Detective Chinatown 2".

Moreover, the total box office exceeded 10 billion after only three and a half days of release!
This speed is not much slower than that of the Spring Festival period.

Wang Quan saw the news in his study and clapped his hands on the table in joy. Fortunately, there was no butterfly effect and "Wolf Warrior 2" was still a hit.

He was happier than if his own box office had exploded. God knew how lonely he had been all these years. Now he finally had a decent opponent.

Although Wang Quan has shot so many Chinese-language commercial blockbusters, something like "Wolf Warrior 2" is still a rare commodity. It's not that people don't like the main theme, they just don't like a main theme that's not good-looking.

"It's so scary!"

Yu Dong was so anxious in his office that his chubby face turned a little pale.

If things go on like this, the box office of "The Founding of an Army" will probably be only 400-500 million, even worse than "The Founding of a Republic"? It is far from their expectations.

It has been seven or eight years, and since this is the third film, the face effect is not that strong anymore. The actors are all paid, even though it is much lower than the normal pay, but the production costs are also high.

Because of the shameless Wang Dao, the salaries of the film's behind-the-scenes staff have increased significantly, which has directly forced up the cost of film production. The cost of this film is as high as 200 million!

Five hundred million is a loss!

So he quickly contacted Mr. La, hoping to get enterprises and institutions across the country to take action. If that doesn't work, then just give away tickets. The more you can, the better.

"The Founding of an Army" could still struggle because of its official background, but with the popularity of "Wolf Warrior", other movies, especially "Sewing Machine Band", were greatly affected.

"Sewing Machine" is still counting on the bad reputation of "The Founding of an Army" to make a comeback.

As a result, "Wolf Warrior 2" is too powerful.

By Monday, Wolf Warrior 2 had accounted for over 50% of the screenings, and even on a weekday, nearly half of the theaters were occupied. The single-day box office on weekdays was 2.7 million yuan, accounting for 80% of the market!

By Tuesday, the single-day box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" had reached 3 million yuan.

The single-day box office of 2 million on a weekday shocked the industry, and everyone in the work group was exclaiming "Wolf Warrior is killing it!"

"The Founding of an Army" is completely hopeless, with its single-day box office less than one-tenth of "Wolf Warrior 2".

Everyone thinks that the only drama that can kill "Wolf Warrior 2" at this time is "Eternal Love".

This movie was produced by Guangguang, the company that Wu Jing's wife works for, and the TV series version was one of the most popular TV series last year.

This time, the film version invited popular stars Li Yifeng and Shuangzi.

One is known as one of the four most popular stars, and the other is one of the four young actresses born in the 90s. They have great appeal among young people, and their fans are also very hardworking. They spent money like crazy on the box office on the first day of the release.

So under the pressure of the popular "Wolf Warrior 2", "Three Lives Three Worlds" had the same screening schedule as "The Founding of an Army" on the first day, but its single-day box office reached 1.6 million, million more than "The Founding of an Army"!

It can be seen that the quality of stars is more important than quantity. "The Founding of an Army" has so many traffic stars, but none of them are the protagonists. Traffic fans will definitely save their energy for the movies starring their idols.

On that Thursday, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" was only 2.3 million yuan, and the two movies were very close.

But then the gap widened.

By Saturday, the single-day box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" broke the record of 4 million!
It broke the single-day box office record it had just set!

On Sunday, "Wolf Warrior 2" had a single-day box office of 4.2 million, breaking the record again!

At this time, "Wolf Warrior 2" had only been released for 10 and a half days, and the cumulative box office had already reached 32 billion.

It's just one step away from breaking the box office record in film history.

Faced with this terrifying box office momentum, Da Peng had already given up hope of surpassing "The Lobster Cop". Now, he has even given up hope of achieving the 20 billion box office goal.

He felt so sorry for his adoptive father.

Oh, it's so unlucky. I thought the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" would be high, but I didn't expect it to be so high. Looking at the trend, I can't guess where it will end up.

But breaking the record is definitely imminent, and Chen Sicheng is trembling as he prepares a congratulatory poster.

On the 12th day of its release, "Wolf Warrior 2" easily broke through 34 billion, breaking the mainland film history box office record held by "Detective Chinatown 2" for half a year!

It was so late that Chen Sicheng’s poster was not even ready.

In fact, the same is true for "Wolf Warrior 2". A new poster is required every time the box office exceeds million, but the movie has to break million every day. The workload is too heavy, and it is inevitable to be perfunctory in the end.

Seeing that "Wolf Warrior 2" broke the record so easily, the market share of "Happy Journey" became popular again, and several companies approached China Film Group to buy it at a premium.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is already so powerful, how can "Happy Journey" compare to it!
