Chapter 586 [Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] lays the foundation for the Spring Festival stalls

October 2th, Sunday.

[Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] has officially landed in the Mainland Film Market.

Choosing to release it on such an embarrassing day is actually a last resort.

Because Saturday, February 2th, is New Year’s Eve.

In mainland cultural circles, if your movie is released at this time, not many people will go see it.

Therefore, Zhang Nan could only 'do the next best thing' and chose to premiere on Sunday, which seemed to be a more embarrassing day.

Of course.

This day just seems awkward, but in reality it's still pretty good.

After all, the next week is a holiday, so it can be regarded as a rest day.

As a new work invested by Longbow Film and Television after "Thailand", many people in the industry are paying close attention to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

And this "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is Zhou Xingxing's new work after many years, and the overall gimmick is still quite big.

Also, because the theme of the movie is related to Journey to the West, mainland audiences can't help but think of "Westward Journey", which failed miserably at the box office but was of classic quality.

For a while.

There were even calls on the Internet that Zhou Xingxing was owed a movie ticket.

Of course.

Zhang Nan did not follow the example of the original Spacetime Chinese Film Company in releasing "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and secretly contributed to this convenient hype.

Without it.

This method was indeed effective in promoting the movie, but it did great damage to Zhou Xingxing's box office appeal.

The reason why the Chinese are willing to do this is because of the profit-seeking nature of the big and small kings, and the uneasiness about the movie box office behind Zhou Xingxing's complete transformation.

But since Zhang Nan doesn't like the three melons and two dates that this operation brings, and he knows the real box office results of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", he naturally won't do this.

……

The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The first-day box office results of [Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] are out.

The single-day box office of 8300.13 million yuan directly shook the mainland film and television industry.

Because this is a movie that is almost comparable to the single-day box office performance of the previous "囧囧" at its peak.

However, many people still feel that the subsequent box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" may be unstable.

then……

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office was 7497.43 million yuan.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the single-day box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" dropped unexpectedly, reaching 7861.87 million yuan.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the single-day box office of "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" dropped slightly, netting another RMB 7761.18 million.

After four days of release, the huge popularity accumulated to a certain extent. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the single-day box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" directly exceeded 100 million, and it was not the kind of situation that could even exceed 100 million.

Instead, it soared directly to 12572.8 million yuan in a single day.

And after an outbreak, the subsequent box office did not fall too much.

In the next three days over the weekend, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" continued to earn a box office of RMB 8483.32, RMB 7273.97 and RMB 6454.41.

So the box office results for the first and second weeks of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" after its eight-day release were released.

In the first week, the cumulative box office was 8300.13 million yuan.

In the seven days of the next week, the cumulative box office was 5.79 million yuan.

Eight-day cumulative box office - 6.62 million yuan

Seeing the box office results of [Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] over two weeks and eight days. Throughout the mainland film and television industry, film and television practitioners who had been shocked by "囧囧" before were shocked again.

Without it.

This is basically close to a box office of 100 million yuan a day.

How to not shock people?

You must know that for many movies at this time, it is difficult for the total box office to exceed 100 million, 200 million, or 300 million yuan.

[Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] Here, the box office is almost 100 million yuan a day.

The gap is too big.

It was also under the horrific box office results of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" that the concept of Spring Festival stalls in the Mainland began to slowly take shape.

……

With the huge sales of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Zhou Xingxing benefited greatly and directly completed the key step of completely transforming from an actor to a behind-the-scenes director.

Hu Ge also benefited.

Different from the original coat of arms.

Today, Hu Ge signed a contract with Longbow Film and Television early and made his debut with "Hero". Although he has been quiet for a few years, as the mainland film and television industry has become prosperous in recent years, he has starred in "New Shaolin Temple", "Legend of White Snake", [Warring States], [33 Days After Love]... and other films.

Although there are many bad movies, the movie star's reputation has been built.

This "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" directly promoted Hu Ge and truly solidified his position as a top actor in the mainland film and television industry.

But the one who benefited the most was Zhang Nan.

Because this "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was fully invested by Zhang Nan, and the director's fee paid to Zhou Xingxing did not include profit sharing, it was all a fixed salary.

It can be said that all box office revenue, throw away what should be paid, and the rest is pure profit.

And because there is no verbal agreement between Zhang Nan and Zhou Xingxing to give a certain share of the box office revenue.

Zhou Xingxing, you can say that he values ​​money, but his moral level is still in place and he will not ask others for money without any reason.

So even when watching the box office success of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Zhou Xingxing could only look at Zhang Nan, his pupils full of envy.

……

In the villa in Longbow Film and Television City.

Zhang Nan was holding and teasing his eldest princess and eldest daughter when Hu Gordon came to visit.

After a simple greeting, Zhang Nan, still holding his eldest daughter in his arms, asked Hu Ge repeatedly: "The Spring Festival holiday has just ended, and you come to visit me. What do you think? Watch [Journey to the West] "Conquering Demons" is so hot, I have other ideas. I want to change jobs, do you want to talk to me as the boss? No need to talk, I have no other ideas, let's get together and relax."

When Hu Ge heard this, he immediately became anxious.

Easy to get together and easy to part ways with?

Director Zhang, what you said is unconscionable!

It's easy to separate, it's definitely easy to separate, but if it's easy to get together, it's really not easy to get together! There were so many people at the Magic City Film Academy, but Yu Entai and I got together with you.

"Director Zhang, I am a member of the company in life, and a ghost of the company in death." Hu Ge said immediately as if he was swearing.

Zhang Nan's eyes twitched a little when he heard this, "It's just the New Year, don't make such scary remarks, just tell us the purpose. I'm busy here, there's no point in talking nonsense to you."

Finished.

Zhang Nan continued to tease Zhang Yiyi, the eldest daughter who was not yet one year old.

Hu Ge didn't hesitate when he saw this, and said bluntly: "Actually, I don't have any other ideas. I just feel that [Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] is a bit too successful, and it is even more popular than [The Thirty-three Days of Love]. I'm a little confused now, and I'm a little confused about the future. I don't know how to proceed. I would like to ask you, someone who has experienced this, to give me some advice."
