Chapter 428: Breaking 500 million on the first day
Wednesday, October 1, 2008, at 8 am.
"Hello everyone, I am Wang Lan, a new reporter for Dream Chasing Movie. Now we are in front of a cinema in Changsha. From the dense crowd behind me, we can see that there are many fans who choose to come to the cinema during the National Day holiday. Let's have an interview."
Then the camera turned and pointed at a huge poster. It was the Matrix. The purpose was too obvious, for fear that others would not know that their eldest movie would be released.
"Hello, gentleman, are you here to watch the movie?" the reporter asked.
The passerby was confused and thought to himself, why would I do if I don’t watch the movie?
"Yes." But I still tolerate it for this interview.
"Why, during the National Day holiday, you chose to watch movies instead of going out for a trip. Are there any good movies worth your stay?" The question is quite skillful.
This passerby was a little stunned and thought, where did the stupid reporter come from? Can't you see the window where I lined up?
"Of course it's the Matrix!"
After saying that, the reporter also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would be in vain for an interview.
"Do you know about this movie?" reporter.
"I said you are enjoying me? A beautiful reporter?" Passerby was a little depressed. He opened his mouth and said, "If you don't understand, I can come to see you? Besides, even if you don't understand, what can I do? I'll come to the name Wang Meng. Besides, now the Matrix has been praised online and in the media. Of course, I want to have a sneak peek."
"Okay, thank you for the interview." The reporter said.
With the goal achieved, the reporter will not continue to arouse this movie fan who seems to have a bad temper.
Afterwards, reporter Sun Lan interviewed several movie fans.
"The Matrix, except for this, whoever has nothing to do to watch the movies on a big holiday?"
"Of course it's Meng Ge's Matrix. I heard that the Americans are crazy, so I won't talk about the praises from our country's newspapers."
"There is no doubt that this is the Matrix. If you can't come so early, aren't you just afraid of not being able to grab a movie ticket?"
The theater manager: "We are fully prepared. Wang Meng's works have always been movies with high attendance. For this reason, we specially arranged half of the cinema to open uninterruptedly."
"How is the current situation?" reporter.
The theater manager: "Very good, the box office on the first day has been sold all the time."
"Dear viewers, it is not difficult to see that this large production, which lasted nearly a year and was 1.3 billion US dollars, is a powerful caller for many movie fans to enter the cinema, Director Wang Meng."
"This is the report that Changsha has brought to you by the new discovery of Dream Chasing Movie."
In the United States
The same scene also happened, although it was not as popular as China.
"Mary believes that the Matrix is very good, and it is praised online and on film review websites. The freshness index of Rotten Tomatoes has reached 93. It will definitely be very good." A white guy said to the girl.
"Okay, I don't really like watching science fiction movies, but I like Scarlett very much and hope it won't disappoint me." Mary said.
"I think, certain."
"Hi man, can I sell tickets for the first movie to me? I'll pay twice the price?" said the movie fan who didn't buy the first movie.
"God, are you kidding? I won't give it to you. Do you know how long I have been waiting? Are you dreaming? Brother?" The guy firmly disagreed.
In Korea
"Hui Yan Yini, let's support director Jin Zhiyun? I heard that he and Wang Meng Oppa are betting. Although I like Wang Meng Oppa, I." In a cinema, a girl was struggling and looking at her friend in front of her.
"Ji Soo, Director Kim has already lost. This is something everyone knows. There is no need for us to dare not admit it. Many Asian countries have been laughing at us for a long time, and it is really unnecessary. Let's go and see Meng Oba's Matrix. I heard that the world is saying it's very good." The girl named Hui Yeon said.
"Is it really good inie?"
"It's okay. At worst, after watching Oppa's Matrix, I'll just go to see director Jin Zhiyun."
Seeing that Ji-soo was still hesitating, Hye-yeon pulled her and said, "Let's go."
Except in some places, the Matrix is almost hard to find, and many scalpers have made money.
When fans from all over the world enter the theater
"Wow!"
"cool!"
"Fak, Bichi!"
"It's so shocking!"
"Souga! Yaoxi!"
"Incredible, was it really a Chinese photograph?"
The shocking fans were very glad to watch this movie themselves. The tickets for this movie were worth it. Many people even went through it and continued to buy tickets and waited for the second time.
"How about you, man? Is it as good as the newspaper said?" The movie fans waiting for the next scene couldn't help asking.
"Don't worry, man, it will definitely satisfy you. Scarlett is so cool, wow."
"Wow, then I'll feel relieved."
On the afternoon of October 1, Wang Meng brought Chinese actors from the Matrix to Changsha to participate in the recording of Tiantian Xingshang.
This entertainment talk show, which was only launched on August 4 this year, was once a program that Wang Meng liked very much in his previous life.
It happened to be that he received an invitation from the column group, and Wang Meng came without hesitation.
This made Brother Han excited and forced Wang Meng's alumnus Qian Feng to ask for a long time.
But Qian Feng only had an association with Wang Meng at that exchange meeting, and had no contact with others. His understanding of Wang Meng was also known in the newspaper. This made Brother Han very angry.
In the end, I had no choice but to ask Lao He and Xie Na. After all, these three people had known each other before. Lao He and Na also hosted several DreamWorks events and movie premieres.
The result is that Wang Meng is very humorous, not arrogant, and very easy-going.
Others may not care, but Brother Han definitely cares. If this program that has just been launched is invited to participate in Wang Meng and his group of people, it is definitely the biggest publicity. It is not difficult to imagine that it will definitely be a hit after a good start.
A new team consisting of Wang Han, Ou Di, Qian Feng, Tian Yuan, Yu Haoming, and Hiroshi Yano warmly welcomes Wang Meng and the hacker crew.
Among them, Xie Na, He Jiong, and Wang Meng's old friends such as Director Ouyang also invited Wang Meng and his group to have a banquet.
After three cups, Brother Han carefully asked how to record tomorrow. Is there anyone who is not easy to answer?
After Wang Meng said "There are no taboos", Brother Han got drunk and it became relaxed.
On the morning of October 2, a group of media and many film and television companies and directors were stunned.
"51.27 million yuan on the first day!!"
It exceeded 50 million a day, and many people were a little confused when they saw it. They counted several times before sighing: It’s so big.
Yes, the box office went crazy.
The box office in the mainland reached 51.27 million on the first day, and North America also scored 22 million on the first day. Don’t forget that there is no National Day holiday here, it is Black Wednesday.
In Europe, the first day was US$19.42 million and the first day was US$5.4 million.
In Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the first day was US$980,000, and in Southeast Asia, US$4.79 million.
On the first day of Oceania, there was mainly the Australian actor Hugo Vivan, and the box office in Oceania was mainly Australia.
In South America, mosquito legs are also fleshy, and they won more than 3 million US dollars incredibly. Even the Middle East, Africa, India and other places contributed more than 4 million US dollars in box office.
Excluding China, the Matrix cut 61.2 million US dollars on the first day, equivalent to 4.6 billion yuan.
If China is added, it will be a box office of RMB 51.1 billion on the first day.
The box office of RMB 500 million on the first day, with more than US$70 million, and there is nothing to say.
In addition to being shocking, it is also shocking!!
