Chapter 187 Explosion and Depression (Please subscribe for the third update!)
"Brother Lin, "Transformers" is so popular now, do you have any plans?"

Tang An didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

"You value this "Transformers" so much?" Lin Sheng asked curiously.

"When I came just now, there were three to four hundred fans outside the cinema, not counting those waiting in the lobby and hanging around, I guess there are at least seven or eight hundred fans around the cinema now!"

Tang An's face was serious. Even without publicity, so many fans came to the cinema spontaneously.

If it spends 1000 million publicity fees like "The Wind", it is estimated that it will repeat the grand occasion of last year's "Golden Armor" when it was released.

Lin Sheng nodded and analyzed, "It has been more than 20 years since the animation appeared, and the fans accumulated over the years are considered normal. The box office will definitely explode in the first two days, but after this wave of fans passes, it will be the same as ordinary fans after that. Like a Hollywood blockbuster!"

"I hope so!"

Lin Sheng looked around and said in a low voice, "Actually, no matter what, Director Han will not expand the scale of distribution, let alone spend a lot of money to promote it. The momentum of "King Kong" was so strong the year before last, and Director Han only copied it from 400 yuan. Added to 500 yuan."

Tang An froze for a moment, then looked at Lin Sheng with some understanding.

It is impossible for Han Sanping to let the box office of "King Kong" threaten "The Promise". Once Hollywood movies surpass the Chinese blockbusters released in the same period, not only will Chen Kai be scolded even worse, but Han Sanping, who is committed to promoting the blockbuster project, will not look good.

Even if "The Promise" has a bad reputation and the box office did not meet expectations, it is still the annual box office champion after all. Anyway, this is a fact.

It’s also a fig leaf!
Lin Sheng probably knew what Tang An was worried about. No one had ever made a spy movie, but if he encountered such a popular Hollywood blockbuster, if it failed, the impact on Tang An would be huge.

For Lin Sheng, a "Transformers" is far less important than a great director, so it's okay to reveal some news.

Hollywood blockbusters are already in the bowl, but Tang An is still in the pot.

Tang An was a little relieved. For a "Transformers" that didn't have enough publicity resources, Tang An still had a wave of confidence.

The original success of "Transformers" may not be the reason why it didn't meet any decent resistance in the summer file.

Unless Paramount throws 200 million US dollars to promote it in the mainland market, or it is a hopeless opponent like "Avatar".

Imported films can only get a 13% share of the bill. It is really only after eating too much that the money will be thrown in the mainland market.

After chatting for a while, the premiere ceremony officially started. Some simple activities were carried out on the stage, and the movie officially started.

There is nothing to say about the movie, the movie is still the same movie, and the audience is still the same audience, but the show time has been changed from the six o'clock in the evening to the evening file, and the small screen has become a big screen.

However, there were quite a few pre-roll advertisements at the beginning, and FAW's heavy trucks also came to join in the fun.

From the first climax, the vertigo raid on the US air force base, the whole process was boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
An hour passed, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang! ! !

An hour and a half passed, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang! ! !

From the beginning to the end, it was boom boom boom, bang bang bang bang, da da da, bang bang bang, unwilling to stop for a moment.

What followed was the exclamation of the audience, ups and downs, every second was not quiet.

It went on like this for 144 minutes, and the movie ended.

Tang An rubbed his head, then turned to look at the reactions of the audience and industry insiders.

Shocked as expected, "Transformers" gave mainland audiences a new understanding of "Hollywood blockbusters".

Before it was "Titanic" and then "Avatar".

In the next few years, except for the second part of "Transformers" which is more than 2012 million less than "1000", the other three films will all occupy the annual box office championship, making domestic films unable to lift their heads.

On July 7th, movie fans who had watched the movie shared their movie-watching experience in various forums and QQ groups, and the media also reported on the first blockbuster movie of the summer vacation.

On the 12th, when the box office was released on the first day, it shocked the entire entertainment circle.

2241 million!
It broke the first-day box office record created by "The Promise".

Everyone was dumbfounded. Although they had a premonition that the box office would explode, it was too scary.

This is also the first movie in China with a box office of over 2000 million on the first day!

The media immediately started blowing it up, just like last year's "Golden Flowers in the City".

However, this is just the beginning. On July 7, "Transformers", which was released for 16 days, won a box office of 5 million in the mainland!

The box office was close to 5 million in the [-] days of its release. Although it did not break the single-day box office record of "The Golden Flower", it is also a rare hit in recent years.

China Film Group, Chairman's Office.

Lin Sheng on the opposite side sighed, "Director Han, if this momentum continues, the box office of "Transformers" will surely exceed [-] million!"

"I didn't expect this film to have such great potential!"

Han Sanping shook his head, still in disbelief.

500 copies, almost all venues are sold out, such a situation rarely occurs once a year!

"Han Dong, the theater is already urging when to increase the copy, do you see?"

"Hurry up and get 100 out first, and wait for the box office on Monday for the rest, so that the theaters can collect the box office as soon as possible!" Han Sanping thought for a while and said.

The trend of "Transformers" is not very stable. It was 2241 million on the first day, and it was still Wednesday. Under normal circumstances, the box office will increase on the second day of its release. peak, with no dip until Sunday.

"Golden Armor" received 8100 million during the weekend, while "Transformers" only received 5600 million during the weekend. The difference is obvious.

There is only one explanation, the box office potential has been overdrawn.

The next step is to look at the box office on Monday. If there is a big dive, then adding more copies will not be worth the candle.

Twenty-four hours later, Monday's box office was on Han Sanping's table.

1080 million, almost falling below the [-] million mark.

Although the decline did not exceed 50%, Han Sanping decided not to increase the number of copies.

He told Lin Sheng, ""The Wind" will be released on Thursday, and the attendance rate of "Transformers" has also begun to decrease. It is useless to add more copies, so let it be!"

"Alright Director Han, I'm going to reply to the theater!"

Lin Sheng nodded and left the chairman's office.

The distributor is the uncle, and the number of copies to be released is up to others. The producer has signed a contract and handed over the distribution rights to others, and there is no way to intervene.

Lin Sheng notified Tang An of Han Sanping's decision immediately, and then notified the major theaters one by one.

The theaters can’t do anything about it. There is nothing wrong with China Film’s reasons. "The Wind" is about to be released, and it will inevitably squeeze out most of the market. Hours of non-stop showings.

With the explosion of "Transformers", "The Wind", which was originally considered the most anticipated summer movie, was also compared.

Suddenly, there were a lot of negative comments about "The Wind", thinking that Tang An's appeal alone could not withstand the impact of the Autobots.

After all, the combination of Zhang Yimou + Zhou Runfa + Gong Li + Jay Chou is only 2.9 million, and it is a foregone conclusion that "Transformers" will break [-] million.

There is only Tang An, without any top stars, and the most famous Zou Xun and Li Binbin are not as good as any of Zhou Runfa, Gong Li, and Jay Chou.
