Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 288 Sorry, I have a cheat.

do not know when.

The competition between Lost on Journey 2 and Transformers has been widely hyped online.

If this happened in the past, even two years ago.

may.

Such a PK is impossible to appear.

Because for Chinese people, domestic films basically cannot compare with Hollywood films.

Not to mention, it's such a low-budget production.

but.

When this person is Chen Cheng, it is a different matter.

"Brothers, which one do you support, Lost on Journey 2 or Transformers 3?"

"Nonsense, of course it's Lost on Journey 2. Are you a traitor?"

"Uh, no, I also support Lost on Journey 2. But I just want to analyze which of these two movies is better?"

"How should I put it? It's a little hard to compare. From the perspective of investment, Transformers is undoubtedly bigger. In terms of subject matter, one is a comedy and the other is science fiction, which is also hard to compare. Moreover, both are series, and both works have achieved great success before, so it's hard to say."

"I feel like Transformers 3 might win."

"why?"

"Transformers 3 has been screened several times in the U.S., and the audience response has been very good. They all agree that Transformers 3 is better than the previous ones."

"That makes sense, but I think the Lost on Journey series is also a classic. The Lost on Journey series can be said to have brought out Chen Cheng's Chen-style humor. This humorous comedy style completely surpasses Feng Xiaogang's Feng-style humor. When Chen Cheng was not very famous at the time, he was able to earn hundreds of millions of box office. With Chen Cheng's performance in recent years, it is really uncertain who will win or lose."

There was a lot of talk in the media.

A reporter also interviewed Chen Cheng and asked about Chen's humor and comedy.

Chen Cheng said: "I don't think there is any Chen-style comedy or Chen-style humor. The comedy and humor I create all come from the masses. They are not created by me alone. At most, I just summarize them."

Such an answer also made many fans give thumbs up.

No matter what happens in this war.

Everyone praised Chen Cheng's humility.

However, giving a thumbs up does not mean that Chen Cheng will win this battle.

Although many people also want Chen Cheng to win.

But people in the industry saw it clearly at this time: "I feel that this is a competition between Hollywood and our domestic film industry."

"I see, on the surface it's Transformers vs. Lost on Journey 2, but in reality it's Hollywood trying to create a myth that Hollywood blockbusters are invincible."

"Yes, even in a single market, Hollywood wants to be number one."

of course.

If you really want to calculate.

Domestic films cannot be compared with Hollywood.

Hollywood movies easily gross hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide, and some even make more than ten or twenty billion.

How can domestic films compare with him?

But since it is domestic.

Everyone is also looking at the single domestic market.

It is quite terrifying that Hollywood has always been far ahead in a single market.

Some people who were familiar with Chen Cheng also called or sent text messages to Chen Cheng.

"Chen Cheng, you must win."

Han Sanping also called Chen Cheng.

Seeing that he had received dozens of calls today, Chen Cheng was almost vomiting blood and said, "Director Han, is it that serious? It's just a movie release."

"Of course it's serious. You now represent our domestic film market."

“I don’t have the ability to represent domestic films.”

"Whether you have it or not, you are represented now."

"Uh... well."

"So, now you can only win, you can't lose."

"What if we lose?"

"You kid want to piss me off to death."

"no……"

It’s not that Chen Cheng doesn’t want to win.

But he didn't care about winning or losing.

As some media said, if we lose this time, Chinese films will be finished.

This is complete bullshit.

With the trend of the rise of domestic films.

There is no way he can lose in Chinese movies.

It's just that sometimes he's just like that.

"Director Han, let's first see how much the Transformers box office was on the day it was released."

According to the release schedule.

Transformers was released one day earlier than Lost on Journey.

This schedule is not conducive to Lost on Journey.

If Transformers is released one day earlier, then he will lock in the box office one step earlier.

Han Sanping suggested that either both films should be released on the same day, or Lost on Journey should be postponed for a week.

But Chen Cheng refused.

Although what Han Sanping said makes sense.

But in fact, the impact is not particularly large.

If it had happened in the past, such schedule conflicts might have caused some problems.

But the domestic film market is growing almost every day.

The price of large screens on the market is increasing by several yuan or even dozens of yuan every day.

The era when grabbing a good release date would result in good box office is slowly passing.

Most of the time I still watch your movies.

Your film just needs to be good enough.

Even if there is no good schedule, the market will not bury it.

The reason.

That means the market is big enough.

Once a movie breaks the 10 billion box office, it will greatly boost the enthusiasm of movie fans.

……

Friday of the current week.

Transformers 3 is officially on the shelves.

With the foundation of Transformers 1 and Transformers 2, Transformers 3 has gained sufficient support from fans.

Furthermore.

Transformers is also an anime adaptation.

The Transformers cartoons that many people watched when they were young are still fresh in their minds decades later.

Such as Bumblebee, Megatron, Optimus Prime, Decepticons... and so on.

At this time, the Transformers attack.

Those friends who chased Transformers when they were young have gradually grown up and become the most loyal supporters of Transformers.

"Oh my god, it's already 5000 million at the box office now."

"It's only 8 o'clock in the evening."

"By the time it ends at 12 o'clock, how much box office will he break?"

Looking at the real-time box office of Transformers that day, some fans shouted out excitedly.

And the higher the box office, the more it stimulates the rise of the box office.

For many viewers.

In fact, they don’t care which movie is good or bad.

They don't really want to read movie reviews.

These are all false.

The most real thing is the box office.

As long as the box office is high, it proves that the film is good.

Although the box office is somewhat inflated.

But compared to other film reviews, recommendations, advertisements, and soft articles...box office is undoubtedly much more real.

"I think Transformers will break 7000 million at the box office tonight."

"I think so too, 7000 million, this schedule is still a niche schedule."

"Nimma, is it going to break the first-day box office record of Aftershock?"

Everyone is watching the Transformers first day box office.

Many friends who were planning to watch a movie also subconsciously bought Transformers tickets.

Ends at 0:.

The Transformers box office is out.

7900 million.

See a number like this.

A number of filmmakers in the industry breathed in a hurry.

"The box office revenue was 7900 million yuan in one day, breaking the record of Aftershock."

Maybe others will say this record.

Wasn’t the Tangshan earthquake a result of last year?
After a year.

Isn't it normal to break this record?

According to China Film Group’s report last year.

The domestic film market is growing at a rate of 30% per year.

It is normal to break the record of the Tangshan earthquake.

But for people in the industry, everyone knows it.

Aftershock is called a movie, but it is not an ordinary movie.

The day when the filming of Aftershock was launched.

I don’t know how many units, citizens, and people rushed into the cinema.

Especially for people in Tangshan.

on that day.

Almost all the cinemas were packed.

Although many people lamented the horror of the Tangshan earthquake, they also believed that such a record was not a market-forming behavior.

Later, some other films were released, but their single-day box office was far less than 7000 million.

But now.

Transformers 3 not only broke Aftershock's record of 7000 million, but also fell 100 million short of raising the record to 8000 million.

Can you imagine the horror of that?

……

"I thought Lost on Journey 2 might have a chance. Now it seems that there is no chance."

"I feel that this is a bit unfair. Transformers 3 was released first, and Lost on Journey 2 was released later. Even if Lost on Journey 2 performed well, the box office would not be much higher because of the diversion of Transformers."

"Yes, there is another problem. Transformers is a 3D movie, and the ticket price is 20 yuan more expensive than Lost on Journey. Even if the same number of people enter the theater, Lost on Journey 2 will still lose at the box office."

at this time.

Many people feel unsure.

even.

Some insiders also said.

The best option for Chen Cheng now is to withdraw the film.

Correct.

They think it's a withdrawal.

Transformers 3 grossed 7900 million on the same day.

This has already proved that this film is going to be a huge hit.

Released at the same time as him.

It will definitely suck a lot of traffic.

Lost on Journey 2 is pretty good.

Faced with Transformers 3, the box office may also be dragged down.

at this time.

Even Brother Chen Kai called Chen Cheng.

"Junior brother, are you going to withdraw the file?"

"Who said I was going to withdraw?"

"Transformers are so popular now, there's no need to compete with them."

"We are going to compete with Hollywood. If this movie is withdrawn, we will be criticized to death."

"Being scolded is better than having no box office."

"Who said there's no box office? Lost on Journey 2 hasn't even been released yet."

"How much do you think Lost on Journey 2 will make at the box office?"

"you guess."

"Junior brother, you are still joking with me at this time."

"Don't worry, brother, I'm fine."

hang up the phone.

Chen Cheng looked at his Weibo.

In no mood.

At this time, a series of netizens had already started arguing.

"Chen Cheng, you may have to kneel down this time."

"Kneel down, what are you talking about? Kneel down if you say so."

"Transformers made 7900 million on its first day, can you handle it?"

"We have to hold on even if we can't. If we surrender, how will we survive in the future?"

"Chen Cheng, don't listen to these guys. As long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. It's just a matter of changing the schedule."

Look at everyone’s comments in the forum.

Chen Cheng came online and said, "Well, brothers, it's impossible to withdraw the film from the schedule."

As soon as this information came out, countless netizens quickly followed suit.

"Wow, Director Chen is enchanted at close range."

"Get lost, he's producer Chen."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. Producer Chen, are you really not going to change gears?"

Chen Cheng nodded: "No change."

"Can you withstand it?"

"no problem."

"For what you said, I'll buy three movie tickets tomorrow."

"No, there's no need to waste money."

"No, it's not a waste of money. We just don't want to see you lose."

"Don't worry, tomorrow's box office of Lost on Journey 2 will definitely surpass Transformers 3."

"Holy shit, is it true or not?"

"What do you think?"

"Producer Chen, please don't fool me."

"How could that be? I'm going to set a flag here. If the box office of Lost on Journey 2 is less than 8000 million tomorrow, I will not make any more movies."

"My grass..."

There was a bang.

Chen Cheng's harsh words on Weibo completely attracted the public's attention.

……

The next day people got up.

The front page headlines of all major news outlets all have this title: Chen Cheng boasts that Lost on Journey 2 will definitely gross 8000 million on the same day.

"It's really exciting. It's really exciting."

"8000 million, my eyes are not blurry."

"Is Chen Cheng going to risk it all?"

“Or is this just hype?”

“I don’t know if it’s hype or not, but I will set new box office records all day today.”

"Me too. If Chen Cheng can really do what he said, I would say that Chen Cheng will be deified."

Countless people are watching the box office of Lost on Journey 2.

In fact.

It's no use just staring at the real-time box office.

Real-time box office only reflects the box office at the current time.

But this box office does not include pre-sale box office.

As for the pre-sale box office?
Even the major cinema chains don’t know.

Why don’t you know?
Because the major cinema chains do not have their own systems, they only know the sales situation of their own cinemas.

They don’t know about other families.

But for Chen Cheng, who previously cooperated with Meituan to develop "Maoyan Movie".

That's different.

It took some time.

Maoyan Movies has finally demonstrated its huge power in the film industry.

The emergence of Maoyan movie software.

He not only integrated the data of all cinema chains across the country.

Simultaneously.

With these data, you can also analyze the box office potential of a number of movies.

Why is Chen Cheng so confident in Lost on Journey 2?

It’s not just nonsense that will increase the box office of Lost on Journey 2.

Actually, it is.

Chen Cheng had already seen the pre-sale box office of Lost on Journey 2 long before.

As it is now.

Lost on Journey 2 has not been released yet.

But the pre-sale box office of Lost on Journey 2 has exceeded 5000 million.

Put it simply.

You thought I was competing with you fairly.

You thought that everyone was in the dark Canyon of Kings and the entire map was pitch black.

Actually it is.

I have a hook in my hand, and I can see you at any position at a glance.

May I ask how you can win over me?

……

Of course, Chen Cheng would not tell anyone about such cheating.

or.

People haven't thought of it yet.

Because for everyone.

Software like Maoyan Movie, which integrates all domestic box office data, is not so well-known yet.

And people are in a state of anxiety.

The box office of Lost on Journey 2, however, seemed to be on a roll, rising continuously.

4000 million.

5000 million.

6000 million.

7000 million.

8000 million.

The 8000 million was spent without any delay.

And at the final 0 o'clock.

The box office of Lost on Journey 2 reached 8500 million on the same day.

knock off.

Chen Cheng also took a look at the final box office of the day, smiled, and typed two words on Weibo.
