Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 213: Confused (7/32 Alliance Leader Added)

Indeed, after deducting the 180 million from the midnight slot, the first day box office should be 3967 million...

It didn’t reach 4000 million!
Shen Yan was still mumbling: "I'm telling you, I have data to support it...you have to believe me!"

Guo Fan was shocked and asked, "Did we break the record?"

"What record?"

"First-day box office record for a Chinese-language film!" Guo Fan pulled out his phone and prepared to search. "I remember the previous first-day record was 'Aftershock' at 3620 million."

Shen Yan nodded: "Yes, it is 3620 million, followed by "If You Are the One 2" with 3325 million... "Let the Bullets Fly" ranked third with 3018 million!"

"...Doesn't that mean we've rewritten the box office record for Chinese-language films?"

"We'll have to wait and see..." After a pause, Shen Yan added, "But I estimate the total box office may exceed 4 million... My previous prediction of million was biased..."

Shi Shi was a little bit unbelievable: "Is it really 4147 million?"

Shen Yan was happy: "Such important news, I believe Guangguang would not dare to fabricate it."

You have to remember that last year, Aftershock's first-day box office was 3620 million yuan, which was publicly questioned by a number of media outlets, including China Youth Daily...

They think that the first-day box office of "Avatar" was only 3303 million... Why did "Aftershock" make 3600 million on the first day?
Feng Xiaogang refuted the claim on Weibo: "Some people have deliberately determined that the first-day box office figures for 'Earthquake' were inflated, and bitterly believe that it is impossible for the film to surpass 'Avatar' on its first day. Our elites are simply afraid of embarrassing the Americans. How is that possible? It must be fake..."

Later, the relevant person in charge of the box office information system department of the Film Bureau personally testified, which ended the farce!
At this time, Yang Siwei was already on the phone with Li Xiaoping. "...Hello, I saw the news. Tomorrow's screening schedule... the theater chain will provide 20,000 screenings... OK..."

"Overheard 2" grossed 1200 million yuan on its first day... theaters will cut back on their screening schedules..."

"We can give two points... but it can't be too low. We have to at least ensure that the share in the first week is above 35%... and give a little more next week..."

"Well... I'll leave the publishing to you..."

After about ten minutes, she hung up the phone and asked Shen Yan, "Do you want to post a Weibo to thank the fans?"

"Are you sure this data is correct?"

“…see for yourself!”

Shen Yan took the phone and saw the box office statistics report from the Film Bureau:
Computer data shows that the box office is 37799825 yuan.

This data was reported by 1089 cinemas across the country and constitutes the first part of the box office.

There are also nearly 200 cinemas that report ticket numbers manually.

Each month, the manually counted box office figures generally account for 10% of the computer-generated box office figures, with the lowest percentage ever recorded being 5%.

According to the historical lowest estimate, 3779 million yuan x 5% should be the second part, which is 188 million...

The total is 3967 million!
In addition, some cinemas held preview screenings before midnight on the 22nd, the premiere day, and the box office data for the preview screenings was 180 million, which is the third part of the box office composition.

The last part is the IMAX box office. Currently, IMAX can only be counted manually, so the accurate box office figures are 3779 million + 180 million + 188 million + new IMAX box office. This number is far more than 4147 million.

Box office figures are true, not exact, and the actual number is higher than this.

Well, that's fine...

Shen Yan felt relieved and posted a Weibo post: "Thank you to all the fans and moviegoers! 'My Girlhood' grossed 4147 million yuan on its first day, breaking the 3620 million yuan first-day box office record set by 'Aftershock'... Thank you all for your support. I will definitely keep working hard!" @Ma Yili @Guo Fan @Liu Shishi @Chen Xiao @Yang Tianbao...

After thinking about it, I just deleted all the @...

Because you must have missed something...

Then, Shi Shi and Chen Xiao also posted on Weibo.

……

The industry was shocked!
"My Girlhood", a low-budget youth film with an investment of less than 2000 million, had a box office of more than 4000 million on the first day?
Is it true or false? Then quickly verify the authenticity through your own channels...

Okay, it’s true!

No, how is that possible?
"My Girlhood"...star lineup, Shen Yan + Liu Shishi...

They are just actors in idol dramas...how can they have such high appeal?

Is it because of Andy Lau?

Well, at this stage, the domestic entertainment industry believes more in the so-called star lineup!

It is understandable. "Founding of a Republic" relied on piling up stars to reach a box office of over 4 million yuan, and "Let the Bullets Fly", with three movie emperors, had a box office of nearly 7 million yuan!

Rather than letting them believe that it’s because of the movie itself, they would rather believe that it’s because of the star…

Is it because of Shen Yan's unparalleled appeal that made them admit it?
In a society where seniority is the key, this makes the older generations feel ashamed.

What’s more, “Our Girlhood” beat “Overheard 2” three times on its first day…

That’s “Overheard 2”!

Wong Jing, Alan Mak + producer Derek Yee, and the first "Overheard" was a huge success in both box office and word of mouth!

According to Bona's estimate, "Overheard 2" can earn at least 3 million yuan at the box office.

The result was only 1200 million on the first day?
Anyway, Yu Dong was a little confused!

Fortunately, the term "fan circle" didn't exist yet, otherwise, he would definitely say, "Our movie was maliciously criticized, and I want justice!"

In fact, he didn't need to be confused. When a large number of Hong Kong directors lined up to shoot a large number of substandard movies in November this year, he would understand...

"'The Heroines of the Yang Family,' 'The Banquet at Hongmen,' 'Guan Yunchang,' 'The New Shaolin Temple...' They used those formulas and experiences that made them successful back then, and invested a lot of money in making them. 200 million yuan was a threshold, but mainland audiences still didn't accept it..."

Indeed, the audience has long been updated, and you are still using the old routine...

Sorry, the audience doesn’t eat it!

Moreover, the creators of Overheard 2 only held a few press conferences after the movie was released...even if they promoted it offline...

How can it compare to "Our Girlhood" - roadshow, running from city to city!
……

"'My Girlhood' surpassed 4000 million on its first day!"

"The low-budget youth film 'My Girlhood' is a box office dark horse..."

"'Our Girlhood' grossed 4100 million yuan on its first day, and theater chains predict it will exceed 4 million yuan!"

Shen Yanzhi was reading the media comments in the car...

Many industry insiders said they couldn’t understand...

"Inside Film Circle Complaints Vest" once predicted on Weibo that the box office limit of "My Girlhood" would only be 4000 million yuan. As a result, the film broke this "prediction" on the first day of its release.

Including the total box office estimated by screenwriter Ning Caishen for the film, it was reached within one day: "When the release date was just set, I looked at the movies in the same period and told Zhang Yibai that it would be at most 3000 million. Zhang said, more than that, at least million. I said, 'Why?' Zhang said, 'You see, you see.'" When the first-day box office was finally released, Ning Caishen described himself as having "mixed feelings."

Wang Zhe, chairman of Starlight International, was also baffled by the mystery: "I spent the entire night thinking about it, but I couldn't figure it out. A movie with a total budget of less than 1500 million yuan was turned into 'Avatar'..."

The industry doesn't understand...it's normal. Guo Fan, the director of "My Girlhood," is a novice. Although he has completed "The Adventures of Li Xianji," that movie has not yet been released...

The cost...was publicly stated to be 2000 million, but in reality it was less than 1400 million, and the advertising placement alone accounted for 2000 million!
