Chapter 1390 (1/2)
Within 15 hours of its opening, zombie master confirmed the news that its first day box office was $18.5 million, and immediately made the headlines of North American entertainment news, which was also delivered to China at an extremely fast speed.
18.5 million US dollars, not only broke the one-day box office record of all Chinese films in North America, but also broke the one-day box office record of all foreign language films in North America! This is definitely the most powerful box office achievement of Chinese movies in the overseas market!
When the news came to China, it was still early in the morning. After receiving the amazing news, major TV stations and newspapers immediately began to work overtime to prepare the news report of the next day. The TV media began to prepare the materials for the morning news. In contrast, the newspaper was very embarrassed. The newspaper had finished the news layout of the day, and now it was being started up and printed in the printing factory In an hour or two, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of newspapers will be sent from the printing factory to other places, so it is basically impossible to add this news to the newspaper of the day.
The news program editors of major radio stations also began to comb the news and write press releases overnight, so that they could take the lead in the traffic broadcast and seize the opportunity in the morning.
At the same time, Li Mu received the latest news from Lucas. In North America, the layout of zombie master has been increased. The total box office of the layout has increased from the original $20 million to $33 million. That is to say, if the attendance rate can reach 90% tomorrow, the one-day box office of $30 million will be basically achieved!
According to the current operation process of the pastoral film ticketing system in North America, the cinema line must upload the film arrangement plan of the next day to the official server before 5:30 p.m. that day. For example, my cinema has 8 screening halls, each of which has 5-6 venue arrangements. I will decide what films are to be shown in these eight screening halls for more than 40 times, and then put these information on Pass it to the film and television ticketing system, and then the film and television ticketing system will arrange and release these shows, and the audience can purchase them.
After the yard side uploaded the next day's film arrangement plan, the official has 30 minutes to confirm and modify the window period. During this period, the yard can make adjustments to the arrangement, but by 6:00 p.m. of the same day, the pastoral film ticketing system will lock the modification authority, and then go online to the tomorrow's yard line arrangement, and open the seat purchase at the same time. In this case, the yard side will not We can make any changes to the arrangement of the next day. Once the cinema changes the arrangement plan without permission, which causes the user to be unable to watch after buying the ticket, the pastoral film ticketing system will punish the cinema. In the light, the compensation will be deducted from the bill to be settled, and in the heavy, the cooperation with the cinema will be terminated directly.
In the future, when the Internet is developing rapidly in China, cinemas can buy tickets at least two days in advance, and some can even buy tickets three days or more in advance. However, the system of animal husbandry and film ticketing has just started, and there are no competing products on the market, so Li Mu has not made too high requirements for the time limit of purchasing in advance, and these cinemas are fully familiar with it After the operation process of online ticket sales, let them extend the pre-sale period.
In order to further enhance the box office appeal, Li Mu specially called Zhao Kang in the middle of the night and arranged a new task for him.
Under his unremitting efforts and adjustment, Zhao Kang's water army has become a super water army team with strong combat effectiveness. This team is not only a low-end network water army, but also, more importantly, Zhao Kang, under the guidance of Li Mu, has built a real high-end brain trust. There are more than 20 talented students who are familiar with marketing, publicity and user psychology. They are helping Zhao Kang to make suggestions And the implementation of landing, with the help of these high-quality talents, now Zhao Kang's water army can easily carry out propaganda in any country's network, using any language, they do not need to understand other languages, only need to operate according to the manual tutorial.
This time, Li Mu is going to let Zhao Kang's water army play up a story like this on the Internet. The core of the story is: a self righteous arrogant fool, because he despised zombie master, missed a huge fortune, and was severely beaten.
Such jokes are popular among melon eaters. For example, some films were once heavily publicized at the stage of release: a star missed the chance to play a role in a movie because of a temporary price increase. Now the movie is so popular, a star must regret dying, right?
Interestingly, when the water army publicized such news, it never explained who the star was, so the people who ate melon began to imagine. Some people thought it was a, some thought it was B, some thought it was C, and then there were a lot of water army who specially took rhythm on the Internet. A large group of people who ate melon mocked a, B and C on the Internet, saying that they had no eyes at all Ignore others, now others make them unable to rise up
No matter which country's melon eaters, they all like this kind of face play. Chinese netizens are like this, and North American netizens are no exception.
So, Li Mu is going to take the famous Harvey Weinstein out to meet a porcelain child this time. He tells Zhao Kang that his water army can make up such a story on the Internet:
at the beginning, Li Mu took zombie master to Harvey Weinstein, the famous film and television tycoon in Hollywood, hoping that he can help distribute ￥ in North America. As a result, Harvey Weinstein Ben can't see the movie. Before he saw it, he told Li Mu, ”with my understanding of the North American market, I can tell you that this movie is not only a piece of shit, but also a piece of old shit with a history of more than ten years. North American audiences will not pay for such shit!”Here, to highlight Harvey Weinstein's arrogance, the film did not see, on the self righteous conclusion that this film is not good, is shit, such a forced crime in any country is the most annoying.
Then, before the end of the story, Li Mu put down his price and asked Harvey Weinstein to watch the movie and make a decision. But Harvey Weinstein refused. He said to Li Mu, ”I'm not as good as you when it comes to Internet, but you're far worse than me when it comes to movies. I said that if it's not good, it's not good. It's God that it can make more than 10 million dollars at the box office in North America Blind! ”
So, Li Mu can only take ￥ to cooperate with Lucas. Lucas is in charge of North American distribution. Now, see how popular the movie is! It has won $18.5 million at the box office within 24 hours of its release. Harvey Weinstein must be depressed now? you deserves it! At the beginning, you didn't care about this movie. Now, this movie can't stand up to you!
After hearing Li Mu's idea, Zhao Kang was shocked for a long time and said, ”I understand. I'll arrange someone to prepare.”
