Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 242 Return
The cumulative box office of both Spring Festival movies exceeded 1 billion in the first three days of their release, which is undoubtedly much better than last year's summer box office.

Although the movie Broken Element has not as good a reputation as Rurouni Kenshin, its cast is undoubtedly much more luxurious than Kenshin.

Although Su Yan was willing to spend money on the movie Jianxin, when Jianxin was being filmed, he was basically unknown in the Xia country film circle, and many well-known and popular movie stars did not even consider working with Su Yan.

Even if Su Yan's offer to them was 20% higher than that of other directors and investors, they still chose to go to other film crews.

This is a reflection of the fact that Su Yan has shallow connections and no foundation in the film industry.

Although Jianxin found a bunch of well-known stars from Xia Country to participate in the performance, most of them are well-known villain actors. Compared with the all-star lineup of Pozhen, their appeal is undoubtedly much smaller.

So even though "Breaking the Array" had a low reputation, it still managed to get high box office rankings in the first three days of its release, thus suppressing "Kenshin".

But starting from the fourth day, no matter how big your network of contacts is, it will all be used up. Cinema owners are not opening their doors for charity. They will only show the movie with the highest return.

The fact is, in the first three days of Rurouni Kenshin's release, the movie had a high attendance rate and was shorter than Break Sphere, a subtle difference, plus the scheduling bias on the fourth day of its release.

Rurouni Kenshin won the box office championship of the day with a box office of 3.05 million. As for "Breaking the Sphere", it was a bit disappointing, with a box office of only 2.74 million on the day.

Although it reduced the screening ratio, it is obvious that the box office reduction ratio of "Breaking the Array" is much higher than the level of reduction in screenings.

Not enough stamina!
This is the first reaction of most practitioners in the Xia country's film industry.

It is easy to get high box office through publicity and hype within one or two days after a movie is released.

But the release of a movie is a long-term process, and word of mouth determines the film's staying power.

Although the total box office of Rurouni Kenshin is still slightly behind that of Broken Heart.

But judging from the current situation, if he still can't build up the momentum to break the formation, he will most likely be overtaken by Kenshin.

This situation directly triggered an online quarrel between Jianxin fans and Pozhen fans.

Both films have a large group of well-known stars joining in. This is the fourth film of Su Yan, the king of TV dramas, who has crossed over to the film industry. As a result, a war of words has begun between fans of the TV dramas and fans of the movies who have been following a group of veteran movie stars for many years.

"What a rubbish movie. You guys are bragging about the action scenes, but I don't think they're anything special. Isn't that Su Yan just good at parkour? Just find a few parkour masters in real life to shoot and achieve this effect."

"I am not talented. I came fifth in the city parkour competition held in Shanghai three years ago. I am not a great player in China, but I am definitely not a rubbish. I don't know how easy it is to just find a parkour master. Anyway, among the parkour masters I know, everyone praised them in the group after watching the movie. When you were still typing 666 on the Internet, a group of people in our parkour group had already tried to perform Su Yan's moves with their bare hands. But now it seems that even if you don't hold a sword and just perform with your bare hands, almost no one can do it to the standard, and at such a fast speed!"

"The guy upstairs got slapped in the face. It made me laugh to death."

"There are some things that people are not blind to. If you take a look at a work, you can tell whether it is good or not. What's the point of you trying to criticize it here?"

"In fact, I also watched the movie Breaking the Array, which was pretty good, but it just didn't have the same passionate feeling that Kenshin brought me. It's either that Breaking the Array is not good, or Kenshin is too strong!"

"Su Yan is awesome. I thought he was going to make another depressing movie during the Spring Festival, but it's clear that he has a clear mind."

"You guys can brag all you want, time will tell. The Rurouni Kenshin movie only has good action scenes, but the plot is just so-so."

"You make it sound like the plot of the movie Breaking the Array is really good? Aren't we just watching the war scenes and the celebrity cast that were created with a lot of money? The plot is just about the story of a ruined prince restoring his country. It's so clichéd."

"The Story of a Destitute Prince Restoring His Country made me burst out laughing. This netizen is really talented! He summarized the essence of this movie in one sentence."

"Just wait and see. Rurouni Kenshin, this crappy movie, wants to win the Spring Festival box office championship. Dream on!"

"Then let's wait and see how long the 20-30 million box office advantage of the movie Breaking the Array can last?"

Fans of the two movies, Rurouni Kenshin and Hajin, were arguing fiercely on the Internet, but in reality, on just the sixth day of the movie's release, Rurouni Kenshin's total box office surpassed Hajin.

And one week after their release, the two films ranked first and second during the Spring Festival box office with box office revenues of 18.17 billion and 18.02 billion respectively.

As for the third place, The Fake Detective, its total box office has not yet broken 10 billion.

But neither the producers of the movie "Breaking the Array" nor Su Yan have made any bigger moves in the publicity market.

To put it bluntly, with the current box office performance of these two movies, they can only be said to have made a small profit after recovering their investment. What's the point in spending a lot of money on publicity and marketing?
Under the premise that Su Yan has made it clear that he wants both parties to compete for the box office champion based on the quality of the works, spending money on each other will only benefit advertisers. The investors behind Po Zhen also know that although it is a pity that the box office champion was snatched away, the current box office of this movie has exceeded the expectations at the beginning of its release, so they don't want to make trouble again.

As for Su Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his competitors did not do anything secretly.

It would be good if things like box office manipulation, ghost soldiers in midnight shows, and box office stealing didn’t happen.

but
"This is the first time that we have only taken a temporary lead with such a slight advantage." Su Yan looked at the box office data of both sides.

In the TV drama circle, once Su Yan gains an advantage, the pursuers behind him will absolutely be in despair.

But in the Xia country film industry, there are too many factors that determine box office performance.

What is certain is that if Su Yan had not undergone a system transformation that allowed him to perform those outrageous action scenes when filming the Kenshin movie, Rurouni Kenshin's performance during this year's Spring Festival would never have been better than that of The Fake Detective.

"alright."

Su Yan stood up from the sofa in his home, called out to Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan and the others who were behind him, and started to go out.

The Spring Festival holiday is over, and today they will fly back to the Tokyo area.

Tokyo.

A group of people got off the plane.

There is still light snow falling here and the weather is cold and gloomy.

At the airport, Su Yan discovered that many employees of his company were also walking towards the airport gate.

After all, people have to go back to work after the Spring Festival.

"Hi boss!"

"Hi boss!"

"The boss is handsome again."

"Congratulations, boss. Rurouni Kenshin is the box office champion during the Spring Festival. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the box office champion of the country's film industry this summer."

"Not necessarily. Maybe the movie Your Name that we are currently shooting and will be released in the summer may have a higher box office than Rurouni Kenshin."

"The schedule can't compare to the Spring Festival schedule!"

Looking at the two female employees from the company's administrative department who were chattering around him, Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I kind of feel like I'm too friendly in the company on weekdays, which is why they're too active in front of me. I'm thinking whether I should be a little stricter in the New Year and cultivate my leadership authority.

Ikumi Shinozaki came up quickly from behind. When the two employees saw Ikumi Shinozaki, their necks shrank, their calves quickened their pace, and they hurried forward.

"The company's employees are very afraid of you!" Su Yan smiled when he saw this.

"Of course, I recruited them." said Shinozaki Ikumi.

"So they also know very well that I asked them to leave, and I don't need to report it to you because you are not in charge of the specific work of the company's internal affairs."

"Of course, they also know that I am clear about rewards and punishments."

"But forget it. It's the first day after the Spring Festival, and I still have to maintain the image of a kind leader." Shinozaki Ikumi suddenly smiled.

"I have already arranged a place for everyone in the company to have dinner together tonight, and then we will welcome the new year and start work tomorrow."
