Chapter 529 Box Office Miracle

Although more than 4,000 filming schedules are only a small fraction of "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" and "Kung Fu India", Lin Han and others are already very pleased!

After winning a box office of RMB 5.33 million on the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Immortality" also created a new myth, with the attendance rate breaking through the 88% mark and becoming the highest attendance film throughout the year, which is better than those pre-screening results.

A movie with a production cost of only 100,000 yuan reached an astonishing 1:53 on the first day of its release!

Now "Immortality" has locked in the highest annual return movie throne, and it will only be higher afterwards!

Many netizens are looking forward to how far the box office miracle of "Immortality" can go. Ten million does not seem to be difficult at all, and maybe they will arrive tomorrow.

If you show it carefully for a few days, 30 million is probably not a difficult task, 50 million is probably the limit!

Domestic box office forecasting agencies were once again stumped by Lin Han. Every time they met Lin Han, they were estimated to be inaccurate. His novel sales have caused prediction agencies to lose face several times, and now the movie is making trouble again.

"The first day is five million, even if it rises sharply later, the predicted cumulative box office of 40 million is already ahead of schedule. Will this be our "Ghost Record" in China?"

"The Legend of Ghosts" may not be familiar to many Chinese audiences, but it is famous in the industry. Its entire series is a typical example of small investment and big returns. The cost of this horror film is only US$15,000, but it has harvested nearly US$200 million in box office worldwide. The return on investment is simply and roughly calculated to be 6555 times!

Another movie "Blair the Witch" is considered a predecessor of "The Legend of the Ghost". It is a representative of contemporary pseudo-documentary horror movies. Without its success, there would be no appearance of "The Legend of the Ghost".

The production cost of this 1999 film was not high, but the promotional cost increased the overall cost to US$600,000, and won US$248 million worldwide. Because the cost is much higher than "Ghost Record", the investment output ratio is only 206 times!

This number seems to be much worse than "The Legend of the Ghost", but compared with other movies, it is very advantageous. Who makes "The Legend of the Ghost" too outrageous?

The movie with the highest return on investment in China is known as "Location B No. 32". This is a horror film with an investment of only 70,000 yuan. Its final box office revenue was 16 million, and the investment output ratio was as high as 228 times.

However, the two Hollywood movies mentioned above have good reputations. "Zone B No. 32" released in 2011 is said to be the Asian version of "Ghost Record". It does not simulate the feeling of holding a DV, but is more terrifying than that. When it shakes, the camera looks like it is riding a pirate ship or a Ferris wheel!

This movie can be said to be a big bad movie, with only 2.3 points on Douban movies. The audience just watched the movie to try new things, but in the end they disgusted themselves.

Although the cost of "Immortality" is 30,000 yuan, the total box office is estimated to exceed 16 million yuan. Therefore, it should be no problem for the films with the highest return on investment in domestic movies, at least it will not make the audience feel like they are wasted money!

Now no matter who it is, "Immortality" surpasses "Location B No. 32" in terms of return on investment, just counting with their fingers. What they are confused about is how far this movie can go in the end.

...

It just so happens that there are no science fiction films during this year's Spring Festival, and they are almost all domestic comedy films. Even if this type is best-selling, it will actually be a little bored if you watch too much.

There are always some people who want to try new movies, including big fish and meat every day, and occasionally a meal of porridge and side dishes are also very good!

Except for "Immortality", the attendance rate of other movies is not low. "Journey to the West" hit a super high box office of 350 million yuan with a 57% attendance rate, becoming the movie with the highest box office in the Chinese film market in one day and the first day!

The box office of this day is enough to make most domestic movies look up to it. Everyone is still struggling to exceed 100 million yuan. They won 350 million yuan on the first day, and their goal is directly on the cumulative box office record of domestic movies!

The attendance rate of movies during the Spring Festival is actually not bad. "Bears" also reached a first-day box office of 50 million under the leadership of children and parents, and the entire film market is thriving.

The worst is "Forgetful Village". Its poor performance on the first day of the Lunar New Year has reduced its 1.8% scheduling to 1.1%!

After the screening of one day, which movies have poor reputation and which movies have high attendance rates, have already performed well. "The Dark Horse" which broke out on the first day won 190 million yuan with a 25% scheduling, but its reputation was extremely poor, so the next day's scheduling dropped directly to 23%.

Although the rating of "Kung Fu India" is not high, the attendance rate of the family-friendly movies is very high, and the schedule has increased steadily!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the national box office market contributed a total of 800 million yuan, allowing countless filmmakers to see the dawn. If it can be maintained in the next few days, the film market throughout the year may have increased a portion of this year.

In fact, it is impossible for the seven-day Spring Festival holiday to maintain such a high box office growth, so everyone is more clear about the market rules, and there will be some declines starting from the second day of the Chinese New Year.

From the pre-sale situation of the movie, we can see that the pre-sale of almost every movie is lower than that of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Especially the pre-sale decline of "Journey to the West" and "Making a Fight in India" that have been severely dragged down by reputation even exceeded 30%!

There are two other films that have maintained magical growth, one is "Kung Fu India" and the other is "Immortality".

Although the rating of "Kung Fu India" is low, the audience's reputation is quite good. Brother Long's decades of kung fu comedy can be regarded as a classic in the hearts of the older generation and the younger generation. Whether it is feelings or whatever, the pre-sale of this movie is really improving.

"Immortality" is much simpler. The box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year is almost the highest box office that can be obtained based on that schedule. The second day of the Lunar New Year has increased so many times that many people who don’t have the chance to watch the movie finally have the chance!

Another important reason is that reputation on the Internet has finally spread. Reputation is the weapon to defeat other movies and also the level of box office growth of "Immortality".

No one can ignore the importance of reputation. Nowadays, audiences have been poisoned by bad movies and have psychological shadows. They have learned how to identify a good movie, and there are fewer and fewer blindly following!

A unique science fiction film, a movie that makes people think. Lin Han, the science fiction master, fought in science fiction again after two years. Xu Jiayan helped out with the support, and the five Peking University professors performed with all their heart. There are so many reasons to watch this movie!

...

As half of Lin Han's fan, Zhou Yu reads almost all the science fiction novels written by Lin Han, and even browsed his least favorite "Red Rose and White Rose".

He has only been working for half a year. He graduated from university in July last year and entered the society to work. After working hard every day, reading novels is his biggest pastime!

From "The Mars Rescue" to "Jurassic Park", from "The Three-Body" to "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy", from "Inception" to "Hiberian", Lin Han's novels accompanied him through one lonely night after another.

Zhou Yu's Spring Festival holiday has 10 days, but he was looking forward to the arrival of the first Lunar New Year. He went with his girlfriend to watch the first "Immortality". Personally, he felt very good. Not only did he recommend this movie with his classmates, friends, and relatives!

Sitting on the sofa, Zhou Yu browsed Weibo with his mobile phone, and his girlfriend Zhang Silan was staring at the TV screen and watching British dramas. At this time, he suddenly saw the message sent by Lin Hanweibo whom he was following.

"What! There are Easter eggs in the movie?"

He stood up from the sofa, feeling extremely upset!

Because the movie was screened at 10:30, it was already past twelve o'clock after the end, and he had to rush home for lunch, which was the first lunch of the New Year. So when he saw the name of the staff behind the scenes lit up from the screen, Zhou Yu and his girlfriend ran out of the theater, completely missing the Easter egg!

Zhang Silan turned her head and asked curiously: "What easter egg?"

"It's the Easter egg from "Immortality". It is said that the Easter egg has 6 minutes, which is the most turning point in the whole movie. It also gives the answer to the open ending of the movie. We actually missed it, ahhhhhhh!"

The feeling of regret was overwhelming in Zhou Yu's mind. He missed such an important thing. He was so upset that he hammered the pillow beside him.

"Is this Easter egg really that important?" Zhang Silan paused the TV. Although she didn't usually watch science fiction novels, Lin Han's "Time Traveler's Wife" touched her a lot, so she was willing to go to the cinema with her boyfriend to watch this kind of science fiction film without any special effects.

She was quite convinced about the plot of "Immortality". After watching it, she felt that the protagonist Xu Jiayan played was very convincing. Anyway, she believed that there was such a dying person, but she was still quite charming dying person!

Zhou Yu looked at Lin Han specifically reminded the audience not to rush to leave after the movie was screened and remember to watch the Easter egg's microblog. At this time, many people were leaving messages.

"I'm going, why don't I know if there are Easter eggs? The people in our hall didn't seem to have left without seeing the Easter eggs!"

"The cinema staff also specifically reminded us that there are very important easter eggs, so we should not leave in a hurry. Those are really good Chinese employees!"

"I looked at it. That easter egg is really interesting. The father and son's recognition is simply a highlight. I was so scared that I thought this movie was a real thing. My father also said that it must be a documentary!"

"What the hell? Could it be that the immortal man gave birth to another immortal child?"

"If you don't spoil it or not, if you want to know what, you still have to go to the cinema to see it."

"Okay, thanks to your reminder, I will definitely sit at the end when I go to the cinema tomorrow!"

"No, no, I actually missed this easter egg and just took this opportunity to watch it again!"
