My Attic Connects To Other Worlds - v2 Chapter 140
The first day’s box office was 46 million!
After hearing this number, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I can finally sleep peacefully tonight, but people are really weird. Just now, the leaders of the Film Bureau kept saying that as long as 20 million is satisfied, but now that the price of 46 million is released, while they are relieved, they are somewhat dissatisfied.
“Yesterday there were a total of 16,000 films in the theaters across the country. This movie is long and expensive, with an average of 43 yuan per ticket and an average of 66 people per show. The average attendance rate is about 55%.”
“Why is this attendance rate?” The director of the film bureau even wanted to start blaming the audience.
You can’t watch such a good movie? The attendance rate of only 55% is really disappointing.
Others present were speechless. This is the average attendance rate throughout the day, which is unprecedented.
You know, yesterday was Wednesday, a normal working day, and people at work have no time to watch movies during the day.
However, the leadership of the Film Bureau believes that this film is unprecedented and will not appear again in the next ten years. It is a great loss for the audience not to watch it.
Everyone even has to go to the cinema to watch it, and more than once.
The appearance of the film “Three Body” is not the person who has benefited the most, but the domestic film practitioners.
Whether it’s the filmmaker, the theater, or even the relevant leader in charge of the film.
A movie pushed the Chinese film industry forward for several years. This is not a lie.
Not only that, this film will undoubtedly take the entire film market to a new level.
The last time such a movie was “Hero”, which directly raised the box office record of domestic films and even the entire domestic box office market.
And the volume of “Three-Body” is not comparable to heroes at all.
So in recent days, the entire film industry has seemed like a Chinese New Year.
Next, the leader of the Film Bureau received a call from the secretary of a major leader of a country.
“Has the box office numbers come out?”
The film bureau leader said: “The leader hasn’t slept yet? I originally wanted to report to her tomorrow morning.”
“I can’t sleep without waiting for the result.”
The film bureau leader said: “46 million, the first day’s box office.”
The secretary asked: “According to this estimate, how much will the final box office be?”
The head of the Film Bureau thought for a while and said: “Just “Three-Body 1″, if conservatively estimated, it should be 800 million. If you are optimistic, it should be 1.2 billion.”
He reported these two numbers, and he was still very bold.
It’s so pitiful, but the highest box office record in China is 360 million? The highest box office of domestic films was 291 million.
He has tripled this.
I dare not think about it any more, because people’s imagination is limited.
Who dares to think about things that haven’t happened.
Just like before 2009, the country’s highest box office record was 360 million. Who would dare to imagine that Avatar’s box office could soar to 1.4 billion?
No one dared to think about it beforehand.
Therefore, the leaders of the Film Bureau felt that they had reported 1.2 billion, which was already very bold.
The secretary reported these figures to the big leader.
“1.2 billion? It increased the entire box office record by three or four times. In the end, it was 3.6 billion, or about 450 million U.S. dollars.” The big leader made a slight estimate, and then didn’t say a word.
US$450 million is far, far away from the US$2.7 billion in the “Star Wars Prequel” trilogy.
As for overseas markets, I really dare not make too high estimates.
Because so far, Chinese films have hardly achieved good results in overseas markets.
…………
According to estimates by the director of the Film Bureau, the box office on Thursday will probably decrease a little bit. After all, the most enthusiastic audiences on the premiere day have already watched enough.
Thursday is another working day.
And in terms of statistics, it is not so urgent anymore.
Next, the leaders of the film bureau are most concerned about the numbers on Friday and Saturday.
Therefore, when the box office statistics were reported on Thursday, the leaders of the film bureau had already fallen asleep.
“How many?”
“55.5 million!”
At this moment, the leader of the film bureau lost all sleep in an instant.
This… This is a bit scary.
The box office on the second day of the show was even higher than the first day, and it was so much higher, nearly 10 million!
Is this Thursday?
This should be the least box office day for this movie this week.
Why not only did it not decrease, but it increased instead.
In this way, the final box office is unpredictable.
In fact, this is the normal result.
Because the fermentation of word of mouth is too strong.
The people who saw it on the first day were shocked and unparalleled, and then recommended others to watch it on all channels.
Any publicity is more than word of mouth.
Open QQ, open the website, and there are spontaneous comments from netizens.
Especially in some niche forums, the trust in them is very high.
The recommended posts inside are completely overwhelming.
Open a post casually, it is extremely praise.
“Mom asked me why I watched a movie on my knees?”
“The Three-Body” has led Hollywood for twenty years, and it’s worth it.”
“Seriously, I was shocked by the effects in the movie.”
“I can’t believe that this movie was actually made in China. No, no, I can’t believe it now. How could it be possible that this movie was made by people on earth? Honestly. , I seriously suspect that this movie was actually made by Trisolaran.”
“I suspect that the boss of Wang Huan is the lurking spy of the Trisolarans on the earth. The Trisolaris rules everything. Now I want to ask where I can join the Adventist organization. I want to take refuge.”
“Before I watched this movie, I thought this movie might be awesome, but I didn’t expect it to be so awesome, too scary, too terrifying, I didn’t dare to imagine that it would be so awesome.”
Of course, these are the sighs of ordinary people posting, full of randomness.
After opening the comments of professional film critics,
Everyone is eloquent, but after refining, the content is the same.
Niubi, Niubi, Niubi.
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck.
Immediately afterwards, domestic stars and directors published blogs and accepted interviews.
Next, is the blog of a well-known domestic director Feng Pants.
“Seriously, before watching this movie, I actually knew it in my mind, because I believe that Jiang Wen and Liang Jiahui will not talk nonsense. I think the completion of this movie should be able to reach 80% of Hollywood’s level, which is enough. That’s awesome. Then I went to the cinema to see the best IMAX 3D, and from start to finish, I stayed there.”
“This is 80% of Hollywood’s effect. This is already far more than Hollywood, and more than a lot. I originally thought that it would be at least 30 years after we surpassed Hollywood, but I didn’t expect this day to come in an instant. It’s terrible.”
“Of course, like the rest of me, I didn’t remember a lot of the plot after watching it, and didn’t care about the performance inside. Because of the pictures and technology inside, I was completely distracted and calmed down. After I got home, I Calm down, I told myself that it is actually not that good at all, but because it is a domestic film, and I am too eager for the progress of the Chinese film industry, so I brainstormed it, as if adding a layer of filtering. Mirror, obviously not so good, because of my personal emotions, I think about it so well.”
“So, I have a relationship with me, and I bought a few more tickets for IMAX3D and watched three games in a row. You are not mistaken. I asked for the movie tickets I bought because of the tickets for all IMAX theaters in the country. They are sold within a week. It’s over.”
“Just like that, I stayed in the cinema for more than nine hours.”
“Because I have to figure out, is it really that good? Is it because of my emotions that I think about it too well. After reading the structure three times, I really know that it is better than I imagined the first time. It’s even better. I thought he just surpassed Hollywood. After watching it three times, I realized that it killed Hollywood in a flash. Jiang Wen’s words were right. This movie leads Hollywood for more than 20 years.”
“I am a film director. After watching it three times, I realized how difficult it is to realize some of the shots in it. It is simply unimaginable, especially the three special effects scenes, the Trisolaris planet catastrophe, and Qin Shihuang’s millions of troops. The human flesh computer and the 9-latitude protons are expanded into a 2-latitude plane and printed circuits on it to make a supercomputer. I want to blow my head up, but I don’t know how it was made.”
“So, how lucky the global audience this year is to be able to wait for such a masterpiece.”
“After I got home, I watched the “Star Wars Prequel” trilogy again and also watched “Transformers”. I looked at it from the perspective of a practitioner very seriously and objectively, and then I found that the gap was too big. Big, totally different.”
“If you slow down the show several times, the gap becomes even more obvious.”
“Hollywood is called special effects, and the pictures in “Three-Body” are called magic. It is presented in front of you incomparably real. You know it is false, but your eyes tell you that it is absolutely true.”
“Wang Huan, awesome!”
In fact, Wang Huan had looked for this great director before and asked him to be his assistant, but the other party refused.
Now this blog will be published not only online, but also in newspapers.
Of course what he said was true, but after this man became famous, he would basically not say such flattering exaggerations.
This is of course demanding.
Now everyone can see how awesome Wang Huan’s dream technology is.
Next, major domestic productions will ask this company to do special effects, and they will definitely flatter.
So, are all the voices on the Internet praise and praise?
Not really!
After reading it, a certain professor also published a blog.
“I don’t deny that the special effects of this movie are very good, but this is a technique, not a Tao. The whole movie disappointed me very much. It was a terrible work.”
“In this movie, I saw the most naked and vicious satirical attack on environmentalists.”
“In this movie, people who love the earth, the environment, and democracy are shaped extremely ugly, and in the end they even become the biggest spies who want to destroy the earth.”
“On the contrary, some people under centralized power have become heroes who save the world. This kind of movie is a ridiculous and naive poisonous weed, and the entire free world should completely block it.”
However, this blog only exists for a few minutes.
The following comments flooded in hundreds of people in an instant.
“Come and watch the silly fork…”
“The grandstanding silly fork…”
“This person is Professor Ma Zhe from Xiahua University, Li Siqiang.”
“Damn, does Professor Ma Zhe hate the country so much?”
“Don’t you understand, Professor Ma Zhe in our school, who instills illegal goods in class every day, ten teachers Ma Zhe, at least three hate the National Party.”
After only two hours, this blog disappeared and was deleted by Professor Li Siqiang himself.
And I regret it, why did I post this blog at the time.
Although what he said was from his heart, what nonsense was he speaking from his heart?
He thought no one knew that this was his blog, and he never revealed personal information in the blog.
But there are no secrets in this world.
Recently, he is still applying for a senior allowance.
A student had come to smash the glass of his house just now, and the dean also called, his attitude was still very kind.
But don’t know why, he always feels uneasy in his heart.
Isn’t it? My senior allowance is going to be ruined.
………………
It’s Friday.
This movie has become a hurricane of public opinion.
It has become a thoroughly phenomenal work, and it’s not just movie fans entering the cinema.
Many people who have never been to a movie theater to watch a movie also walked into the movie theater
To be honest, for ordinary Chinese people, the consumption of dozens of yuan for a movie ticket is really a bit high.
Many people have never walked into a movie theater in their entire lives, nor do they plan to go into a movie theater.
According to them, when I wait for the pirated version to come out, won’t it look the same on the computer?
Big deal, buy a pirated CD.
But this movie is not good. Everyone will tell you that this movie will be ruined when you watch it on the computer and TV.
Be sure to go to the cinema to watch, be sure to watch the 3D version.
As for IMAX3D, it has really become a luxury now.
All the tickets within ten days were sold out.
Now the scalpers outside are reselling IMAX3D movie tickets, the original price of 130, directly soaring to 500.
This is also the case for Avatar in another world. For the first time, a scalper selling movie tickets appeared.
There are too many wealthy people, so they don’t have to worry about selling at all.
Later, the theaters had to make a rule to buy tickets with ID cards, and each ID card can only buy one ticket.
But this can’t stop the scalpers, the big deal is that they hire people to line up. It’s just that the cost has risen, and the fare has to rise.
As a result, the price of scalper tickets is higher.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, the head of the film bureau did not need to sleep anymore.
I’m all waiting for Friday’s box office data to come out, and now I am studying Hollywood, and announced the box office of the first weekend and the box office of the first week.
Several leaders drank strong tea, each guessing Friday’s box office data.
“55 million.”
“I guess 57 million.”
“You may not know that the average price of the following theaters has increased by 20%, and the price of each movie ticket has increased by 20%.”
“Then the audience can stand it? You will scold your mother,”
“It’s definitely a curse, but for many people, it’s not bad for a few dozen dollars to watch it once in a few years.”
When the data was about to come out, several leaders of the film bureau calmed down again, as if to adjust their mentality and wait for the final data.
“Friday’s box office data came out, 65 million!”
Everyone exclaimed again, and then tears of applause broke out in the conference room.
This box office is already higher than the 56 million single-day record of Avatar that year. Of course, it is incomparable with movies more than a decade later, when the number of screens nationwide had doubled tenfold.
65 million, which is three or four times higher than the highest single-day box office of past movies.
It’s already a huge miracle.
“Do you want to release the data to shock the market?” someone asked.
Wang Huan shook his head and said, “No, let’s wait for the unified announcement after Sunday.”
The leader of the Film Bureau said: “Saturday’s box office should be even higher. It will be the highest in a week.”
Saturday.
The movie theater has been completely crowded. At this time, the film arranging rate is still not 80%, but more than 90%.
It’s not like more than a decade later, the highest ranking is not good for more than 70%.
In this era, there are not so many movies yet, and the arranging of films is much more capricious.
The most important thing is that it doesn’t make sense for you to rank other films at this time. No audience will watch it.
It’s hard for a movie theater with an attendance rate of over 30% throughout the year.
In the cinema, there is a long line.
On the large monochromatic LED screen, there is only one display of all the rows of films.
“Three-Body”, “Three-Body”, “Three-Body”, movie theaters are all this movie. You don’t want to watch other movies, and of course no one wants to watch other movies at this time.
And usually the theater will close at 11 o’clock at the latest.
Now the theater is almost spinning, abruptly increasing the total number of shows by about 20%.
People who have not been in a movie theater in eight lifetimes are also crowded in.
Not to mention there are many second- and third-brush fans.
In China in 2007, many remote prefecture-level cities did not have theaters, let alone counties.
But this movie is already known to everyone, and people in countless counties also know it.
So some theaters thought of a way.
With the projector and copy, I went to the old movie theaters in the county for screenings. Tickets were sold normally, and the ticket prices were similar to those in the city.
There are so many cinemas in China. Before the 1980s, let alone counties, there were cinemas in towns and even some villages. It was just that they were abandoned later and turned into an auditorium.
Of course Wang Huan knows that his interests are moving.
If these people in theaters take copies to show and sell tickets in county cinemas, box office stealing will definitely happen.
Because many of these temporary movie theaters are not computerized ticket sales, rather than manual ticket sales, it is difficult to count.
When the time comes, how many statistics come up depends entirely on the conscience of the theater manager.
So everyone in the company said, don’t give extra copies.
But after hesitating a little, Wang Huan gave it.
Then the head of the film department called the theater line managers for a meeting.
“Wang Huan’s doing this is equivalent to letting you make more money, and you will definitely steal the box office.”
“But I hope you still have to talk about your conscience. Wang Huan’s doing this is more so that audiences in small cities in the fourth and fifth tiers can also watch this movie.”
“I hope you don’t forget that this movie also has a unique mission and responsibility, that is to defeat the “Star Wars” trilogy, and that is the bet with the President of the United States.”
“Let me just say that. The Film Bureau will send people to your temporary small city cinemas, and they will secretly check. Of course, we can’t send people to every small city cinema to check whether the box office is stolen, but once we get caught, you will do it yourself. Please be blessed. Everything is done in accordance with the law, and how many box offices are stolen is an economic crime. We should be sentenced for as many years as we need. Don’t underestimate our will.”
……………………
Under this crazy craze.
The box office data for Saturday came out.
Everyone was completely shocked and frightened.
78 million!
Compared to Friday, it was nearly 13 million more.
This data is too scary.
The leaders of the Film Bureau sighed with emotion, this is because the number of screens is small, and most of the fourth- and fifth-tier cities in the country do not have theaters.
There are only 4,000 screens in the country.
Otherwise, this box office data does not know how much it can go up.
“Who said no, this movie appeared this year, it’s really untimely, if it is released ten years later, then I really don’t know what the number will be.”
“This should be the highest single-day box office record for this movie, and it will decline from tomorrow.”
“Yes, remember this number, 78 million! This is the highest single-day box office record for a Chinese movie, and it will not be possible to break this record in the next few years.”
Almost everyone agrees, because almost all movies follow this rule.
The box office was the highest on Saturday in the first weekend, and then it began to decline.
Movies that fell 30% the next weekend are all made by gods.
And generally speaking, the box office on Sunday will be about 15% less than that on Saturday.
but…
When the box office came out on Sunday.
Once again, the leader of the Film Bureau was completely stunned.
83 million!
It turned out to be 5 million more on Sunday than Saturday?
This… what kind of evil is this?
It’s terrible!
Look at the curve of this movie, it’s always going up.
And the magnitude of the rise is so steep.
46 million on Wednesday, 55.5 million on Thursday, 65 million on Friday, 78 million on Saturday, and 83 million on Sunday.
The box office of the first weekend was 226 million.
The box office in the first week was 327.5 million.
After seeing this data, the leaders of the film bureau stayed for a while.
There is no booking, no fake box office, and even the real data is higher than this, because the stealing of the box office definitely exists. They have already caught several examples, and they are about to kill them soon.
This data almost completely smashed the previous Chinese film records.
Before, all records have been broken.
In just one week, it surpassed the previous highest record of Chinese movie box office.
In the entire previous screening cycle, the highest box office record for Chinese films was only 291 million.
The current exchange rate of US dollar to RMB is 7.6, so even if converted into US dollars, the box office in the first weekend is about 30 million US dollars, and the box office in the first week is 43 million US dollars.
This result is also very good in Hollywood, and it can be regarded as an A-level blockbuster.
You know that in 2006, the total box office of Chinese cinemas in the whole year was only 2.6 billion, which is the total amount of domestic films plus imported films.
………………
Monday, July 23!
Countless people get up and see the huge news font.
The People’s Daily, as well as major newspapers across the country.
Every major portal website, as well as the morning news from major TV stations, are broadcasting a piece of news.
“Three Body 1” was released in China for 5 days, and the box office exceeded 327 million yuan.
The box office in the first weekend exceeded 226 million. It broke the highest single-day box office record in the Chinese cinema market, the highest first weekend box office record, and the highest first week box office record.
So far, it has only been released for 5 days, but it has broken the highest box office record for domestic films in the Chinese market.
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked, and the whole country was ecstatic.
but…
However, it was too late to ecstasy.
The box office data for the next Monday came out.
This is the real blockbuster.
“Three Body 1” box office of 65 million on Monday!
This is the most frightening statistic. The box office of the next Monday was almost the same as the first Friday.
This…this is crazy!
Immediately after July 24, the box office came out on Tuesday.
66 million.
The terrible reverse decline made the entire market seem completely crazy.
There has never been such an example before, right? Not only the domestic market does not, but even in the North American market, there seems to be no such example.
Of course, there is a very similar example, and that is the “Titanic” that was once in the North American market.
But that movie had a cold start, and then relied on word of mouth to get out of an astonishing inverse decline curve.
But “Three Body” was very popular in the domestic market from the beginning, and it has also stepped out of this amazing curve.
This is crazy!
It was in theaters for seven days, just a week, and the box office exceeded 458 million yuan.
What’s more frightening is that the box office curve of this movie hasn’t seen a point of falling.
Everyone’s perception of the movie’s box office was shattered.
The Titanic’s record of 360 million box office in the Chinese market is desperate, and no one has been able to break it for nearly ten years.
All the golden armors all over the city failed.
This makes people think that the record of the big ship should not be broken in a few years.
As a result, “Three-Body 1” rolled over in an instant and mercilessly.
Only six days after the release, it completely broke this record.
Moreover, Yiqi Juechen.
Now the leader of the film bureau has completely lost his words, and has lost the ability to estimate the box office of this film.
What point does the ghost know he will soar in the end?
July 25!
The most important day of this movie has arrived.
Can “Three Body” surpass the “Star Wars Prequel” trilogy?
Can Wang Huan win the bet with the President of the United States?
Relying on the domestic market is definitely not enough, it depends on the global box office.
The most important thing at the global box office is the US market.
The United States accounts for half of the world’s total box office.
As for the right to speak, the US market accounts for 80%.
Only when the U.S. market sells movies, can it run the world.
The United States is the center of world cinema and the center of film public opinion.
So, can Wang Huan win?
The key is the US market.
But before that, no movie in China has truly conquered Hollywood.
there has never been.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, that is to cater, not to conquer.
Even the movie “Hero”, which won a box office of 50 million US dollars in the United States, is just a curiosity and pastime for American audiences.
Even so, $50 million is already the best performance of a domestic film in North America, the best performance in decades.
Can Wang Huan’s “Three-Body 1” conquer the American market?
Can you conquer the audience in North America? Can you win?
Just look at this moment!
July 25.
“Three Body 1” is officially released in North America!

Note: In the first update of the code in the hotel, the laptop keyboard is so uncomfortable, the fingers hurt like typing directly on the desktop. I’ll go to eat some food, and then come back to write the second update.
Dear friends, if you have a monthly pass, remember to give it to me! Please, I bow to you!
