Chapter 989
"What are you laughing at? Is it because you didn't act in these two movies?" Zhou Xia couldn't help teasing, Er Di was like watching a joke.

"Where is there...! People are not so narrow-minded. It's a pity that I haven't watched "The Future Will End", so I don't know what it is like."

Er Di thumped Zhou Xia with her small fist, denying it decisively, but the slight expression on her face revealed the little happiness in her heart.

She used to regret it very much because she missed the role in "Little Times", but now it seems that it doesn't matter.

"Okay, you haven't. You'd better worry about what your evaluation of "Predecessor 2" will be next." Zhou Xia shook her head and continued to read some other evaluations.

"What about "Predecessor 2", didn't you write the script?" Er Di asked in surprise.

"The script I wrote? I just wrote the outline of the story, and even if I wrote it, there is a possibility that I can't keep this time."

"That's because you didn't pay attention and fooled others, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." Er Di retorted with his lips curled up.

"Really, I'm so sad when you say that, there's no such thing as foolproof." Zhou Xia pretended to be innocent.

"Okay, I'm joking with you. Anyway, people believe you. The movie is finished. I feel pretty good. Don't scare me." Er Di quickly laughed.

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower, didn't you say let me play with you?"

Zhou Xia didn't bother to read those unnutritious short comments anymore.

"Well, but I'm so tired..." Er Di stretched out her arms coquettishly, as if to hug her.

"Hehe, someone was really amazing just now..."

Zhou Xia made a joke, got up and got out of bed, picked up Erdi and walked to the bathroom.

"Of course, didn't you see his identity? He just wants to subdue you, a criminal." Er Di immediately retorted.

"So that's the case. It seems that you were subdued by a criminal like me in the end. If this is the case, will you always listen to me in the future?"

"People have listened to everything from you a long time ago. I have never asked about your affairs." Er Di complained dissatisfiedly, but she had never asked Zhou Xia about those other matters.

"...Okay." Zhou Xia had nothing to say, he was worried about Er Di's troubles, but he didn't expect that she didn't mention Yaya at all.

After the two of them took a bath, Zhou Xia accompanied Er Di to start the show.

Zhou Xia still hopes to turn the IP of "Detective Chinatown" into a classic series of films, although it cannot become a hard detective reasoning film like "Sherlock Holmes" in China.

However, it is still possible to create an interesting image of a Chinese detective with comedy action coupled with suspenseful reasoning.

Moreover, the important characters in the film, even the minor ones, will not appear for no reason, and they will be given biographies according to the chronicle. In the first part, the backgrounds, suspense, etc. of the characters that were not dug deep will basically be in the sequel. Keep digging.

Er Di's role as a New York Chinese detective is also an important role, as is Song Zuer's Hong Kong genius girl detective Kiko, including the girl played by Chen Yao in the previous film, all appearing in subsequent stories.

The two played against each other until after two o'clock, and Zhou Xia found a video about the American police on the Internet to show Er Di, and explained his detailed requirements for this role to Er Di, and gave her a demonstration performance. Only then did Di let him go with satisfaction.

………………

Three days passed quickly, and "The Future Will Be Undated" was officially released on June 6. Due to the failure to negotiate the rebate policy, the first day's film schedule was only 19%, which did not reach the previous oral 30%, but it still ranked first on the day. bit.

"Rampage Hollywood" by Zhao Yanzi and others ranked second with 20% of the film schedule.

"Divergent", "Slaying the Wolf", and "The Price of Love" ranked third, fourth, and fifth with 18%, 16%, and 12% of the films respectively.

Zhou Xia's literary film was released for 23 days. After the first four days of explosion, the subsequent downward trend was obvious. Up to now, the daily box office revenue has been less than 1000 million.

This also became Zhou Xia's first film with such a big gap between before and after the box office.

The movie's box office has fallen so fast not because of the bad reputation of the movie, but because of the lack of genre and entertainment.

In the early stage, Zhou Xia and several loyal fans and movie fans of the leading actors, after watching the movie, only a small number of passers-by entered the theater to watch the movie, so naturally they couldn't get a sustained high box office.

This situation surprised Zhou Xia.

He originally thought that with the film's reputation, such a large domestic market and such a large population base, there would be absolutely no problem with long-term screenings.

But judging from the current situation, it turns out that everyone says they like literary films, but they are actually willing to go to the cinema to watch them, or there are basically no second or third-brush.

After all, literary and artistic movies are better watched on computers, TVs, and home theaters at home. The environment is quieter, it looks more comfortable, and you can get more involved, and the movie-watching experience is better.

And to go to the cinema is to watch blockbusters, watch special effects and sound effects, and feel the atmosphere. It is obviously more affordable to choose other commercial blockbusters.

How to choose, of course, the pragmatic Chinese needless to say.

Then the necessity of long-term screening of this film is debatable.

Instead of postponing the screening next month, in order to avoid too high a box office, it is better to get off the production line as soon as possible. When the awards season comes, the film will win one or two awards, and strive for more income through video tapes and online broadcasts.

The long-term screening failed, and Zhou Xia didn't care too much. This movie is mainly for awards, and his goal is that the current box office revenue has exceeded his and the company's expectations by a lot, so he must be satisfied.

On June 6th, the box office revenue of several important movies in theaters, "The Future" won the daily box office champion with 19 million without any suspense.

后面的是《横冲直撞好莱坞》取得了4600万的票房，《分歧者2》取得了3500万的票房，《杀破狼2》取得了2800万的票房，《爱的代价》1300万。

After all, it was a working day on Friday, and there were no such super blockbuster movies. The total box office of the whole day exceeded 3 million, which was already quite good.

I believe that the three-day holiday of the Dragon Boat Festival will come tomorrow, and the single-day box office will inevitably rise.

Today's single-day box office performance of "The Future Is Unexpected" is actually already against the sky. Compared with last year's "Little Times 1", although it is lower, it has a higher reputation, and the follow-up box office may not exceed the former.

Of course, it depends on the box office of the next three days of holidays, as long as the attendance rate of these three days is raised based on word of mouth, it will definitely gain more.

Otherwise, it will be too late to make a difference when "Xiu Chun Knife" and other new movies are released two weeks later, and the film schedule drops.

In the current schedule, if it is not a blockbuster movie, it is impossible to think about long-term screenings, and "The Future will be indefinitely" is not necessary, so even if it can increase the film schedule a little bit, it is very important.

When Zhou Xia's "Descendants of Yanhuang" is released at the end of July and "Mission: Impossible 5" is released at the beginning of August, other films will inevitably have to survive in the cracks, and it is basically impossible to have a certain schedule.

After Zhou Xia read the report, he immediately reminded Zhang Zhao and Yang Tianzhen, telling them to make a corresponding publicity plan during the limited time when "The Future Will Be Unexpected" occupies the high-ranking film The movie's box office potential is maximized, lest it will be useless to do anything later.
