Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 269 Release
On Wednesday and Thursday, Su Yan and Dimension Film and Television Company stepped up the promotion of the movie Your Name.

The heroine of the movie Your Name is played by Gu Qingyuan. This season she also starred in the hit TV series I Want to Tell You, so the publicity effect is twice the result with half the effort.

A large number of TV drama fans have clearly stated on the forum that they will support Gu Qingyuan.

The Xia country's film media is now not only starting to hype around Su Yan.

Instead, they asked the screenwriters, directors, and leading actors of the three films, Three's Journey, Bone Temple, and Summer Nights, whether they were confident that their new work could surpass Su Yan's in the same period.

In particular, some reporters directly asked the producer of Summer Night how it felt that this movie escaped from the Spring Festival schedule and avoided being crushed by Su Yan's Rurouni Kenshin, but came to the summer schedule to be crushed by Your Name.

The news that the investor's face turned green on a summer night and he asked the security personnel to kick out the reporter with bad intentions was still among the top five hot search terms on the Internet on Thursday.

Soon, it was Thursday night.

As the movie was about to be released, Su Yan also returned to the Tokyo area.

Although promoting the movie is important, the company has three other works currently being filmed and prepared in the Tokyo area, so Su Yan can't leave for too long.

In the evening, Su Yan and the main creative members of Your Name crew gathered together after a long absence two months since the crew finished filming.

Finally, a short video of the crew members gathered together was shot and posted on the Internet as the final promotion before the film was released.

So far
Thursday goes by and Friday comes.

Since early morning, Zhong Qingxuan entered excitement mode.

She had already booked the tickets for Your Name, but she would always open the ticketing app during work hours to check the real-time pre-sale box office data.

After all, the first screening of the four big-budget movies released today will not start until at least 7pm, so all tickets are on pre-sale now.

Your Name had a pre-sale of 1.52 million.

7700 million for Threesome.

Bone Temple 6300 million.

4500 million on Summer Nights.

It can be seen from the pre-sale box office that, at least in terms of audience expectations before the release, Your Name is not at the same level as the other three competitors.

This is not just the reason why your name is ranked higher in the screening. Although your name is ranked higher in the screening, judging from the gap in screening and the gap in box office pre-sales, the absolute cost-effectiveness of the box office pre-sales achieved by your screening is greater than that of the other three films.

As a die-hard fan of Su Yan for three years, she couldn't help but slack off at work during the day and spoke crazily in the fan group.

"This is the lineup! Before Su Yan's movies were released, we always had to catch up with others. Now, hahaha, we've widened the gap on the first day."

"Don't be too happy too soon. After all, this is just the first day's result. If we want to have a high box office in the future, we still have to rely on word of mouth."

"Reputation? Does Su Yan need to worry about the reputation of his works? He only has niche works, not works with bad reputation."

"Just don't go with the Life is Strange format, the plot is too depressing, fantasy romance is pretty good and has a high audience, but the old thief must not be depressed!"

"Don't worry, the old thief has changed at least this year. Whether it's the sword heart or I want to tell you, it's not depressing. Your name should be the same."

"Damn it, everyone, pay attention. The old thief has released new updates."

"what's the situation?"

Zhong Qingxuan's eyes narrowed. Any new developments?
She quickly slid her fingers across her phone, opened another app, and found Su Yan's creator account.

There was a paragraph of text posted above.

[The regret of 5 Centimeters per Second will have a different outcome in the movie Your Name! ]

It’s Su Yan’s classic Riddler dynamic again.

Regrets about 5 Centimeters per Second?
The best thing is that the feelings between the hero and heroine eventually dissipated in the crowd under the erosion of time.

Why did Su Yan specifically mention 5 Centimeters per Second today?

Zhong Qingxuan blinked. Could it be that this movie, like 5 Seconds, is also a story about childhood sweethearts who like each other, separate halfway, and then meet again when they grow up?
But Your Name was not like the ending of 5 Centimeters per Second, where the two of them didn’t even have a chance to look back at each other for the last time?
Thinking of this, Zhong Qingxuan's heart was pounding.

I looked at the time, it was 3:27 pm.

Let's get off work quickly. I really don't want to work this crappy class for even a second.

Friday afternoon is undoubtedly the most difficult time for all the office workers in Xia Country.

Zhong Qingxuan waited till six in the afternoon, then quickly packed her bag and went to a cinema near her company.

As soon as we entered, there were huge crowds of people.

There were crowds of people standing in movie theaters in the city center of big cities.

Half of them are students on vacation, and the other half are almost all office workers like Zhong Qingxuan.

As before, the most conspicuous people in the cinema are undoubtedly those who like to cosplay characters from Su Yan's past works, especially the male cosplayers dressed as Kenshin, each of whom has a reverse-blade prop knife purchased from the official website of Dimension Film and Television Company on his waist.

Some of them just started gesticulating in some relatively empty places in the cinema, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

Of course, there were also many other cosplayers like Gilgamesh, Altria, and the Emperor. The entire cinema was divided into movie fans, distinguishing between Su Yan fans and others.

But judging from the number of fans, among the people waiting for the movie to be released in this cinema, Su Yan's number is more than the fans of all his other works combined.

"We are the majority! Not the minority anymore."

When Zhong Qingxuan thought of this, she suddenly felt confident.

After all, if most of Su Yan's fans dressed in strange costumes are not embarrassed in the cinema, then it is others who are embarrassed.

The time spent waiting for a movie to start in the theater is much faster than going to work.

Zhong Qingxuan didn't realize how long she had been there before the voice in the hall started notifying people to enter.

The crowd entering the theater to watch Your Name formed a long line at the ticket gate.

When we walked into the theater, we saw that more than 80% of the seats in the large theater that could accommodate hundreds of people were full.

Zhong Qingxuan's mood gradually calmed down.

Before the movie was released, I took some time to check out the real-time box office of Your Name.

1.91 million.

Now it’s just premiere time.

It is also unclear what the first-day total box office of Your Name will be by 12 o'clock tonight.

Zhong Qingxuan, with these thoughts circling in her head, hadn't reacted yet.

The lights in the theater suddenly went out.

Then the screen paused, and the first thing that appeared in front of everyone was a bright and brilliant sun outside the stratosphere.

Below this are white, endless clouds.

But a meteorite suddenly smashed through the clouds. Looking downward, it was still daytime above the clouds, but it was night below the clouds.

A meteor streaked across the sky, then spontaneously combusted and split in mid-air due to atmospheric resistance, leaving a long tail of flame in the air.

This scene.
Although it was unclear what the significance of this opening shot was, Zhong Qingxuan and the audience in the theater immediately got into the mood.

Like 5 Centimeters per Second, the old thief's movie, these scenes
Great beauty!

Don’t worry about the plot for now, just look at the scenes and art style, the ticket price is worth it.
