July 14th.
Another weekend, "Arms 2" finally premiered in major theaters across the country.
With the popularity of "Arms 2", almost all cinemas across the country were full on the first day, and all the usually unpopular corners were already occupied. Some cinemas directly added one or two shows temporarily. Movie tickets are still in short supply.
After the first movie becomes a hit, this is often the case when subsequent sequels are released on the first day.
It's about nine o'clock in the evening.
Shonan Province.
Wanda Cinema.
With an unfinished expression on his face, Ding Zhuo and his close friends walked out of the cinema with the crowd, chattering non-stop: "How was it? Did you find it exciting after watching "Arms 2"?"
The good gay friend nodded impatiently. Ever since the movie ended, Ding Zhuo's little mouth has been chattering non-stop.
Although he is a loyal fan of Tan Yue, he has to admit that the quality of the second part is even higher than the first. After watching the movie, many people around him praised it.
""Arms 1" has already made my blood boil. I didn't expect that the second part will still be so exciting. Such a movie is worth watching several times." Ding Zhuo said regardless, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he filmed Looking over the gay friend's shoulder, he said with a evil smile: "Why don't you ask me to watch "Arms 2" again, and we won't watch "Wolf Warrior 2"."
The good gay friend immediately refused: "Haha, it's impossible. I must support Mr. Tan Yue's movie. Besides, I have just watched "Arms 2", so there is no need to watch it again."
Just like Ding Zhuo didn't understand why he was so fascinated by Tan Yue, he also couldn't understand why Ding Zhuo had to watch a movie a second time in the cinema.
"Tch, you don't understand." Seeing the other party's refusal so simply, Ding Zhuo had no choice but to give up the idea. He thought he would see if he had time in the next two days, and he would definitely come over and look at it again.
Ding Zhuo overlooked a problem. You can't see it now if you have time. On the ticket purchase software, the tickets for "Arms 2" have been sold out in the next three days.
At this time, the two of them passed by the ticket hall of the theater, where there were many people waiting for the next show of "Arms 2".
Ding Zhuo took out his mobile phone and checked the movie tickets for the next show on the ticket purchasing software as he walked. After a while, he put the phone in his pocket. Although it was already night, there were no tickets for the remaining shows.
...
Beijing.
Penguin Cinema.
In a VIP viewing hall with more than 20 people, there were only two people at this time - Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu.
Tan Yue also wanted to see what level "Arms 2" was at. Two days ago, he specifically asked Wang Yang to contact the manager of Penguin Cinema in Beijing and book this show.
It just so happened that Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu hadn't hung out like this for a long time, and today was an opportunity.
No matter which theater it is, guests who book the theater are very welcome. Before the movie starts, the staff specially prepares some snacks and drinks.
Tan Yue wore a light-colored short-sleeved shirt and casual pants.
Next to her, Chen Ziyu was carefully dressed up, with her black hair scattered on her shoulders and wearing a dress.
Although they came to learn about "Arms 2", for the two of them, this was just a date.
Chen Ziyu said happily: "It's been a long time since I came to the cinema to watch a movie."
Tan Yue said: "Yes, I will often bring you over to watch movies in the future."
While the two were talking, the lights in the theater slowly dimmed, and "Arms 2" began.
The two of them watched the movie seriously.
Until the lights in the theater came on again and the movie ended, Chen Ziyu said with a little worry: "This time "Arms 2" is much better than the first one."
Tan Yue nodded slightly and agreed: "Compared with the first part, the second part has improved a lot in many aspects. Although it has the same theme as the first part, "Arms 2" is particularly exciting in terms of story."
As a director, Tan Yue is not only analyzing the plot of the movie, he is also more concerned about some details.
"I heard before that the second part was financially supported by the top management of Tianjing Entertainment. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. The graphics and special effects are among the best in the country."
Chen Ziyu frowned. She had the same feeling after watching "Arms 2". Tan Yue's opponent this time was a bit stronger than she expected.
Tan Yue continued: "The acting skills of all the actors are online throughout the movie, especially the leading actor Qin Feng. It can be seen that his acting skills have improved a lot."
For some reasons, Tan Yue has never had a good impression of Qin Feng, but in this film, Tan Yue had to admit that his acting skills were indeed worthy of the male protagonist's role.
Hearing Tan Yue's praise of "Arms 2", Chen Ziyu frowned even more, "It seems that the box office of "Arms 2" is really likely to break the record of the first film."
Tan Yue: "Well, the quality is so much higher, so the box office will certainly not be bad."
Tan Yue also showed a rare seriousness on Chen Ziyu's face.
After watching this movie, Tan Yue felt a lot of pressure. "Arms 2" has reached the top level of domestic movies in every aspect, and it is not difficult to surpass the box office of "Arms 1".
Chen Ziyu was worried that Tan Yue was under pressure and comforted her softly: ""Wolf Warrior 2" is your first movie. It is a new journey and a new beginning for you. Don't just care about the box office."
Tan Yue turned to look at Chen Ziyu, held her hand, and said with a smile: "Although "Arms 2" has a high box office, "Wolf Warrior 2" still has the power to fight in my heart."
For Tan Yue, although there is pressure, it is also more motivation.
Tan Yue was very happy to have such a movie with the same theme as a competitor of "Wolf Warrior 2".
Although both are military-themed movies, the focus of the two movies is very different.
Tan Yue's audience will definitely have a different feeling after watching "Wolf Warrior 2", which will have a stronger impact than "Arms 2".
Chen Ziyu looked at Tan Yue's confident expression, and the worries in his heart were instantly swept away.
No matter what situation he faces, Tan Yue always has the confidence that his face will change when the mountain collapses.
Chen Ziyu said softly: "Let's go home."
"walk home."
The two held hands and left the cinema.
...
That night, "Arms 2" successfully aroused heated discussion on the Internet.
"Arms 2" is inherently popular and of excellent quality. After its premiere, it naturally became the focus of everyone's discussion and even became a hot search on Weibo.
["Arms 2" successfully premiered! 】
The number of people who have left messages exceeds 100,000 and is still growing.
"I have also watched "Arms 1" and have been waiting for the release of "Arms 2". Director Wu Hong did not disappoint the waiting audience. The second part is even more exciting than the first. It is a domestic military-themed movie. Director Wu is the only one in the director circle who can achieve this level of performance."
"After watching "Arms 2" today, I feel like I'm still unsatisfied. I haven't seen a movie of this level in a long time. I'm ready to watch it again, but I can't buy movie tickets now."
"Qin Feng really attracted me. He is so handsome. I hope to see Qin Feng often take on such roles in the future."
"Ah! It feels good. This is what a military-themed movie should be. Please, if any director makes a movie like this in the future, just use "Arms 2" as the standard. This kind of battle scenes are enjoyable to watch."
""Arms 2" is so exciting!"
...
The next day.
Ding Zhuo has been in a state of confusion since he came to the company.
After returning home after watching the movie yesterday, he seemed extremely excited. He tossed and turned in bed unable to sleep. He became more and more awake as he counted sheep, and his mind was filled with images of "Arms 2".
In the end, I played with my mobile phone in bed and read netizens' reviews of "Arms 2" on the Internet. It wasn't until about three o'clock in the morning that I fell asleep.
He couldn't sleep at night and couldn't get up in the morning, it was him who was talking about it.
I faced the computer screen early in the morning and yawned non-stop.
.
Looking at the time on the computer in the lower right corner, he suddenly became energetic. At ten o'clock in the morning, the official website of the General Administration of Culture will announce the box office of each movie yesterday.
When "Arms 1" was released, he didn't have much interest in the box office and just watched it online for fun. But after watching "Arms 2", he was inexplicably looking forward to the movie's box office.
At ten o'clock sharp, the official website of the General Administration of Culture announced on time the box office of the movie released yesterday.
The one with the highest daily sales is "Arms 2", with a box office of 437 million on the first day.
Ding Zhuo felt no sleepiness at all and became excited immediately. He couldn't help but say: "I'll go, the box office was so high on the first day!!"
Two colleagues sitting next to him leaned their heads over and saw the first-day box office of "Arms 2". They pointed at their mobile phones and said in disbelief: "This is yesterday's box office of "Arms 2"?"
Ding Zhuo nodded: "Well, yes."
"Damn it, the box office revenue was over 400 million during the premiere. To be honest, the combined box office revenue of some movies during their release period is not as high as the box office revenue of their premiere."
"Is this movie that good?"
Ding Zhuo: "Please remove the '?'. This movie is very beautiful. You can go see it when you have time."
A colleague regretted: "I wanted to go see it at the time, but something got delayed and I couldn't go. Now I can't buy tickets. I should have gone to see it if I had known about it."
The colleague put his head back and looked up the movie tickets for "Arms 2" on the ticket purchase software on his mobile phone.
Ding Zhuo turned off his mobile phone, no longer sleepy, and was still immersed in the surprise of "Arms 2" premiering at a box office of 437 million.
Ding Zhuo still remembers that when he saw on the Internet that the box office of "Arms 1" exceeded 2 billion, he went to check the daily box office. He had a profound memory of the box office on the first day, which was 285 million.
I was very surprised at the time. I didn’t expect that a movie’s box office would be so high on the first day.
Now it seems that I still have less exposure. The box office of "Arms 2" has almost doubled since its premiere.
...
Bright Entertainment Company.
Seeing that the official website of the General Administration of Culture had just announced the box office results of "Arms 2", many people were shocked and worried.
"The box office is too scary."
"Isn't it a bit outrageous that "Arms 2" achieved such results on the first day it was released?"
"The popularity of the movie "Arms 2" is already high. You have not seen on the ticket purchasing software how many people want to see this movie. It is reasonable to see such a box office on the first day. middle."
"Then this is troublesome. Mr. Tan's movie will be released in a few days. There are many people on the Internet comparing the two movies. Now the box office of "Arms 2" is so high, but How to compare?!"
"Sigh... there is no other way. We are currently riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. The release date has been announced. If we pull it down, we will definitely be laughed at by others. If we don't pull it off, we will definitely be laughed at again after it is released."
Many employees began to worry about "Wolf Warrior 2".
Everyone also thinks that the company can make some achievements in movies through Mr. Tan.
Wang Yang, director of the film department, was staring at the official website of the State Administration of Culture to announce yesterday’s movie box office data early in the morning.
Wang Yang rubbed his eyes. He really thought he had seen it wrong.
Seeing that the box office was still 437 million, Wang Yang took a breath and said, "There must be an error in the data on the official website."
Wang Yang closed the entire webpage and reopened it. Looking at the box office that remained unchanged, he was dumbfounded and said: "Fuck, this... this box office is too high."
Then he lay down on the chair like an eggplant beaten by frost, with a desperate expression on his face.
Bright Entertainment Company has always been tepid in terms of movies, especially seeing that the TV series department has gradually become a benchmark in the industry under the leadership of Mr. Tan. As the director, he is even more anxious, wanting to make the film department quickly developed.
When his efforts were hopeless, Mr. Tan suddenly crossed over to movies, which gave him hope again.
I thought that with Mr. Tan joining, the film department could be like the TV series department, not to mention that every film could trigger a ratings boom and improve step by step. He would be very satisfied.
Wang Yang sighed deeply.
The box office of the premiere of "Arms 2" was much higher than expected. With such results on the first day, coupled with the positive reviews of the film online, the subsequent box office will only get higher and higher.
"Wolf Warrior 2" has been compared with "Arms 2" by so many netizens. If the quality of the movie is not up to par and is not recognized by the audience, Bright Entertainment will not only lose the box office, but its reputation will also be affected.
Wang Yang closed his eyes tightly and pressed his temples with both hands, feeling helpless and powerless.
"Wolf Warrior 2" is scheduled to be released on July 17. It was decided by Tan Yue and voted by the entire company's senior management.
Wang Yang saw that everyone agreed and agreed together. After all, he had finally left a good impression on Tan Yue recently.
But in his heart, he wanted to object, because "Arms 2" is likely to be a hit, and a big hit. "Arms 2" will most likely be scheduled for the summer release in July. It is best to stagger it. After all, the two movies have the same theme and will easily be compared by netizens.
Wang Yang silently prayed in his heart that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" would not be too much worse than "Arms 2".
