Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 152 Box Office
A group of people in the theater were watching the song "Rain" slowly playing.

At the end, the people in the theater got the Easter egg they wanted to see.

At the end, the male protagonist Akizuki Takao made shoes for Yukino, and Yukino left the city. The two men and women with huge differences in identities would never meet again in the park pavilion on a rainy night.

But Akizuki Takao's inner monologue also clearly states that one day, when he becomes the mature man of his dreams, he will go find Yukino.

It's not the ending the audience expected with the two of them being together, but all in all, it can't be called a tragedy.

Even so, there was a faint sense of emptiness in everyone's heart.

The work The Garden of Words did not give the exact future development of the male protagonist Akizuki Takao and the female protagonist Yukino Momoka in the ending.

It's like an open ending.

Of course, in Su Yan’s previous life, in Makoto Shinkai’s subsequent works, such as Your Name, there were shots of Yukino.

After leaving the city, she went to the countryside to teach. The countryside she went to was Itomori Town, where the heroine of Your Name, Mitsuha Miyamizu, lived.

If it weren’t for the efforts of the male protagonist in Your Name, the ending of time and space would have been reversed.

There is a high probability that Xue Ye will also die in that meteorite disaster.

As for whether she eventually ended up together with Akizuki Takao, Su Yan didn't have a definite answer in his previous life, let alone the current Xia country movie audiences.

At this moment, the audience in the theater felt sad, uncomfortable, and depressed, but also moved!

Everyone walked out of the theater with these emotions.

The last scene of the movie where the heroine and heroine embraced each other, and then those true, heartfelt words spoken by Yukino are still echoing in my mind.

A good movie doesn’t mean it’s flawless throughout, but it does mean it keeps you in a state of shock from the first second to the end.

But at some point, the plot can resonate with you, make you empathize, and move you even for a second.

As long as you applaud the characters and plot for one second, the movie is a success.

It was obvious that the first group of moviegoers who walked out of the theater in silence could feel this.

The narrative rhythm is gentle and slow in the early stage, but it explodes suddenly at the end, and the movie ends with an appropriate theme song.

At this moment, the first group of moviegoers tonight have logged on to the Internet and are commenting on related topics.

In addition to online broadcasting of TV dramas, the four major online streaming platforms in Xia Country also broadcast many theatrical movies online after they are released. On the surface, they are the four largest video websites.

But at the same time, they are also the four largest film and television drama discussion forums in Xia Country.

The movie premiere is over, and next comes another battlefield.

"'The Cape' made me cry. It's the best love movie this year."

"'Otter' is really interesting. If you haven't seen it, go watch it now!"

"Has anyone watched the movie Blood Mirror tonight? Damn it, I can't sleep when I get home now."

"You trolls stop bragging. I went to see Cape of Fame tonight, and it was fucking terrible. I'll just say this: the female lead got pregnant with the male second's child and married the male lead, and they became a family of three!"

"?"

"What era is this? There are still such amazing movies?"

"It made me vomit."

"The same thing happened with Blood Mirror. I guessed the villain in the end half an hour after the show started. I thought it was a smokescreen thrown by the screenwriter. In fact, the villain was someone else. But the ending was really boring. My girlfriend fell asleep halfway through the show."

"The Art Student is a good movie, but it's just good. It's watchable, but not particularly good."

"The movie Tree Puzzle is quite interesting. I think it's good, but my roommate thinks it's boring. It's a bit picky about the audience because it contains a lot of hard-core scientific knowledge. I, a science student, can understand it, but my liberal arts student roommate was confused the whole time. I recommend science and engineering students to watch it, but not elementary school students and the elderly."

"I don't know if the other five movies showing tonight are good or not. The one I watched tonight was The Garden of Words. All I can say is that if you have time tomorrow weekend, I definitely recommend you go watch it."

"Finally someone is talking about The Garden of Words. I'm so raving about this movie!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen a love movie that touched my heart so much!"

"Love? There's no love at all. It's just that the hero and the heroine have a crush on each other!"

"I'm still a little numb at the moment. This movie has such a strong aftertaste!"

"Compared to Su Yan's previous dramas, this is much better. At least the ending gives everyone something to think about. Maybe the hero Akizuki Takao will go look for Yukino Yuri."

"Yeah, the best ending is no one died. Don't even think about a happy ending."

"I was looking forward to the first time that Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan played a couple and had a group ending, but my hope was dashed again."

"Then maybe we can watch it when his new drama Tokyo Love Story is released in October! Su Yan's urban romance works are really great. Other people's romance works are totally different!"

"Oh my god, who is Su Yan? Why do so many people pop up when someone talks about The Garden of Words on the forum? Is this movie good?"

"Highly recommended, superb! Of the six movies released tonight, I have only seen The Garden of Words, so I can't comment on other movies released at the same time. But I have seen most of these movies released in July, and they are much better than Gun Grave and Firefly."

"Is it true? Let's not talk about the gun tomb, but the fireflies are still very interesting! Is it more beautiful than fireflies?"

"I can testify that it is really beautiful."

"Indeed, I almost fell asleep watching the first hour of The Garden of Words. But the last two minutes of emotional drama at the end, I would call it the most touching love movie released this year!"

"It's just that the promotion of this movie is very ordinary. It's so good, but it's not famous at all. The cinema near my home puts its poster in the corner of the theater!"

"No way. Promotion is all about money. Su Yan's company only looks like it has a high net profit margin, but the money has to be repaid in cycles. Besides, he has produced too many things in a short period of time, so he can't spare much money for Kotonoha Garden."

"Everyone, support us! Movies like The Garden of Words shouldn't be buried!"

"Anyway, as soon as I left the theater, I gave The Garden of Words a 10 on the ratings website with my real name!"

"I've never seen this type of romance movie. It's quite interesting."

"It can be seen that the old thief Su Yan doesn't seem to continue to delve into depressing themes. I can rest assured to watch his next drama, East Love." "By the way, what is the name of the song at the end of The Garden of Words? I searched for it online for a long time but couldn't find it."

"That's a song composed and written by Su Yan, a famous singer from Sakurajima named Yamamoto Yuto. It's called Rain. It should be available on music apps in a week or two. Just wait!"

"Su Yan is really the real thief. Is this another song he wrote the lyrics and composed the music for? I'm convinced!"

"Su Yan, who on earth is that?"

"Why are so many people discussing Su Yan and Kotonoha no Niwa tonight? I'm really interested."

"Let's go watch The Garden of Words tomorrow. Judging from the discussion of these people, they don't seem to be paid trolls. Could it be that there really is magic grass in the six movies released tonight?"

"So many people say it's better than Firefly? Let me check the ratings tomorrow. Among the movies released in the summer season in July, the highest rated one is Firefly with 8.5, and this movie is also currently leading the box office. After three weeks of release, the total box office is almost million. If The Garden of Words really scores higher than Firefly on the website tomorrow, I will take my girlfriend to the theater directly!"

On the night that The Garden of Words was released, the first wave of moviegoers gave the film high praise as soon as they left the theater.

But it takes some time for public opinion to spread.

On this day, the total box office of the Xiaguo film market was 2.5 million. "The Cape", which had the highest screening rate of the day, took 16% of the box office with 14% of the screenings, and won the daily box office championship on Friday with a first-day box office of million.

Before the movie was released, the film and television media in the country of Xia unanimously believed that the second highest-grossing movie of the day should be "Sea Otter". After all, it had an investment of 13 million, was backed by big capital, and had a high screening rate of % on the first day.

However, this movie only accounted for 11% of the box office on the first day, and the first-day box office was only 2800 million, which was somewhat lower than expected.

The runner-up on today's box office list is The Garden of Words, which was not very favored by the media before its release.

With 9% of the screenings, it took 12% of the daily box office, with a first-day box office of 3010 million.

And the attendance rate ranks first among all the new movies released today.

Who in this market is most sensitive to these movie data?
That’s right, the cinema.

As for the cinema chain, it can only have appropriate constraints on the owners of major cinemas in Xia Country to a certain extent.

The cinema owner invests tens of millions to build a cinema, and rent, equipment maintenance, labor, water and electricity all cost money.

It is impossible for a theater owner to schedule low screenings for profitable movies and increase the number of screenings for unprofitable movies.

The so-called communication and exchanges between distributors and theaters, and py transactions are only limited to before the release.

After the movies are released, the scheduling of these movies and whether theaters will spontaneously support them will basically depend on the profitability of the films themselves.

It is obvious that the overall performance of The Garden of Words on its first day of release was absolutely number one among all the movies released on the same day.

However, many cinema owners are still waiting and watching.

Could this be false data generated by the collective support of Su Yan’s TV series fans on the first day of its release?

Generally, this kind of fan support will only last for one or two days, and will wane on the third day.

Therefore, the cautious theater owners in Xiaguo only lowered the screening ratio of Cape to 14% on Saturday, and appropriately raised the screening ratio of The Garden of Words to 12%.
Just wait and see.

These changes were completed overnight.

next morning
Fan ratings data for the six movies released yesterday, Friday, was released.

The lowest rated film is the horror movie Blood Mirror, which ranks last with a score of 6.1!
The movie "The Cape", which was highly anticipated by everyone before its release, ranked third in the same period with a score of only 7.8.

As for the poor box office on the first day, "Tree Puzzle" with a box office of only 1900 million had a high score of 8.2, ranking second among the six movies released in the same period.

The first
It was the most talked-about and discussed drama in the film and television forums of the four major online streaming platforms last night.

The film received a score of 8.9 on its first day of release.

Now, many people in the Xia country’s film industry are getting restless.

Although it is only released at the end of July, which is not a particularly good time period in the summer, there are still six medium-budget movies released at the same time.

The Garden of Words had the highest attendance rate among the six films, and its screening schedule also reversed its box office share.

Now even the rating is the highest?

Obviously, this movie was both a critical and commercial success during the same period!

Among the directors, screenwriters and actors in the other five film production teams, there are many first-line movie stars, first-line directors and famous film screenwriters.

To put it bluntly, everyone has accumulated fans! Moreover, he has accumulated fans through decades of experience in the industry.

Su Yan, a TV drama screenwriter, is making movies, which is a cross-industry move. No matter how much support his fans give him, how much can they give?
But it just so happens that this movie performed the best.

Many people in the film industry had already noticed something was wrong and immediately bought tickets to enter the theaters on Saturday.

As for Su Yan's fans, the large number of movie fans in Xia Country who were waiting and watching no longer hesitated when they saw this.

During the day on Saturday, the box office of The Garden of Words grew even faster than it did last night, Friday.

End of the day.
At midnight, the entire day's box office of the Xiaguo film market is counted.

On Saturday, August 2.9st, the total box office in Xiaguo for the whole day was million.

With 12% of the screenings, The Garden of Words took up 14% of the total box office for the day, which is 4100 million. This time, The Garden of Words took the single-day box office championship.

Cape, with 15% of the film screenings, took 13% of the box office share and ranked second in the single-day box office with a box office of 3800 million.

Except for these two films, the box office rankings of the other films remained unchanged from the first day of their release.

Moreover, the rating of The Garden of Words rose from 8.9 to 9.0.

Now, people in the Xia country's film industry saw the signs.

This is not a fan movie!
