my time as a director

However, the box office was concentrated on the first day. When the ticket price recovered, the trend of this kind of popular popcorn movie plummeted. In the end, the total box office just exceeded 20 billion.

The initial [-] million has exhausted the potential, and movie tickets are expensive. Except for Marvel fans and audiences who don't care about money, the choice is relatively more cautious.

Word-of-mouth plays an increasingly important role in box office trends. Although Jurassic World 2 in June only had 2.5 million yuan on its first day, it was still a popcorn movie, but with a better word-of-mouth, its total box office grossed 16 billion, which is a higher ratio than the Women's Federation 3 too much.

However, the overall market is still sluggish, especially those movies with mediocre reputation in the same period, almost all of which have shrunk at the box office.

Comedy is an exception, and has the least impact. Even if it is an ordinary cliche comedy, as long as it can make some audience laugh, the audience is willing to buy tickets.

The stock market has been in a downturn for four months, and the time has finally come to the summer holiday season. Four blockbuster films, The Truman Show 2, Ashura, Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven, and The Richest Man in Tomato, will start competing in July.

The first to be released is The Truman Show 2, this version of the comedy film directed and acted by Zhou Xingchi will be released on July 7.

The title of the film has not been changed, but a 2 has been added. This film is also about the world of Truman, so there is no need to change the name, such as Journey to the West, Conquer the Demons, Fu Yao,

Before the release, Li Qian also held a grand premiere ceremony for the film.

After all, the last film was a classic and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and the second film was taken over by Zhou Xingchi, a comedy master.

As an investor and the director of the previous film, Li Qian also attended the premiere and took the stage.

The reporter didn't forget to pick things up, and asked some sharp questions, such as asking him how he thought Zhou Xingchi's second film was made, which one was better between the sequel and the first film, and so on.

"In the field of comedy, Director Zhou can definitely reassure everyone, how about the movie, everyone will have the answer later." Li Qian replied perfunctorily.

The reporter didn't let him go, and asked, "What Director Li means is that Master Xing can only do comedies, isn't it good for other genres?"

It's purely looking for trouble, and there are comparisons between Kidney Pain and Zhou Xingchi, and Tomato starring Kidney Pain will also be released soon.

Of course, I didn't forget to ask Li Qian when the new film will start shooting.

"Fate's flight has been prepared, and the filming will start after the summer vacation." Li Qian also gave the reporters an answer.

The main reason is to wait for Deng Chao. He just finished shooting the film, and he suffered a lot in that film. One person played two roles, and he had to lose weight like crazy.

......

After the ceremony, everyone stepped down and waited for the movie to start.

As soon as the big screen came on, Zhou Xingchi next to him turned his head and talked about the ticket cancellation.

"Director Li, the ticket supplement has been cancelled, which has a big impact on the box office. I think the pre-sales are not as good as the films in the Spring Festival."

Indeed, the pre-sale of Truman's World 2 is only 8000 million, which is too low for the director Zhou Xingchi, the sequel to the classic movie.

Ticket subsidies have a great impact on pre-sales. There are fewer low-priced tickets, and fewer spectators buy tickets in advance. With this less, more people see so many good shows with a lot of tickets, so they don't rush to buy tickets.

A circle, you are not in a hurry, others are not in a hurry, everyone is not in a hurry, and I am not in a hurry.

Li Qian also knew what Zhou Xingchi was worried about. He sold some of the shares in one of his companies and signed a contract similar to a gambling contract. His 2 shares in The Truman World 20 will be placed in the company that sold the shares. In the company, this film is used to complete the betting.

Li Qian smiled and said, "Actually, there is no ticket subsidy, and it only affects the poor quality movies. When there was no ticket subsidy, good movies still sold well. The Truman World sold more than one billion a few years ago, and the sequel You don’t have to worry about box office director Zhou, on the contrary, the market competitiveness of good movies has strengthened, which is the biggest benefit for directors like you, Director Zhou.”

Having said that, Zhou Xingchi has nothing to say. The first film sold more than one billion a few years ago. If you worry about it, it will be your second film. How can he show that he is so proud? worry about this.

On the big screen, Long Biao flashed past, and the screening of Truman's World 2 officially started.

Although he had already watched the entire film, Li Qian still found a comfortable position, ready to enjoy the next 120 minutes.

He has never worried about the box office. The only loss he will suffer from canceling the ticket subsidy is that Future Film will be financed at a valuation of 126 billion, which is 24 billion less than the previous estimate.

The strengthening of the competitiveness of high-quality movies and the stabilization of the market share of the ticketing platform 28 are the biggest benefits.

Chapter 535 Habitual Life

The premiere of Truman's World 2, the sequel to this classic movie, has attracted the attention of countless audiences since it was announced and accepted by Zhou Xingchi.

The dragon logo flashed across the big screen, and with the anticipation of hundreds of spectators, the screening finally began.

After the dragon mark passed, the big screen instantly went black.

Just after the audience thought that there was a malfunction, an extremely excited voice came from the top-level audio equipment, which made people's eardrums hurt.

"Truman!"

"For more than 100 years in the world, there is no one of the hottest superstars!"

"There used to be more than 120 billion people in more than 20 countries around the world watching him in front of the TV."

"Since he bravely stepped out of the studio five years ago..."

An impassioned male voice quickly spoke a long paragraph, and when Truman bravely walked out of the studio, the big screen finally lit up.

What was shown in the movie was an entertainment news, and the screen in the news was showing the scene of Truman walking out of the studio.

After walking out of the studio, the screen in the news changed, and began to play the wonderful scenes of several TV dramas that Truman has acted in in the past five years, and the funny scenes in variety shows in turn.

The host's excited voice never stopped, "Truman is still him, the same Truman who brought us countless joys, and now his first world tour concert has arrived in Los Angeles. The concert has not started yet, but the venue There are already countless fans outside who are looking forward to it.

According to Hollywood reports, the stadium seats can only accommodate 8 people, but at this time the number of fans staying outside the stadium and on the road has reached 12. The traffic around the venue is completely paralyzed, and most of the police in Los Angeles At this time, they are all transformed into traffic police..."

On the big screen, the host of the entertainment news was about to spit out his spit, and kept telling how popular Truman was.

This series of words was so fast that the audience didn't react for a while.

There was no time for the audience to think about the picture, and the camera kept zooming in, entering the screen in the news program studio.

Through the display screen, the camera came to Hollywood on the other side of the ocean.

In an aerial shot, a huge gymnasium is densely packed with people, just like countless ants crowded around the stadium.

Around the gymnasium as the center, every road was crowded with all kinds of cars, and it was completely blocked.

In the sky, more than a dozen police helicopters and news helicopters from major TV stations hovered over the stadium.

Looking at this posture, MJ's peak period is nothing more than that.

Coupled with the entertainment news just now, it was said that this was Truman's first world tour concert, and the audience was stunned.

"I'm going, what is this?"

"Master Xing is crazy, holding a concert with 10 people in Hollywood, and blocking half of the city?"

"This is too outrageous. Just Deng Chao, that funny guy, what kind of song can he sing? Don't act like he's making too much noise."

......

Although Truman's World is a movie full of fantasy, the opening scene is still hard for the audience to accept.
