My movie scares global audiences to tears

Chapter 42 First Day Box Office
Fear comes from the unknown. After the monster appeared, the sense of fear was not so strong.

Although the monsters on the screen are terrifying and terrifying, the audience knows that they are just virtual images that exist in the movie.

While watching, the audience would still be in a trance from time to time and be frightened by the camera lens of the movie, but this is exactly the fun of the movie. The audience exclaimed again and again, but they enjoyed it and enjoyed it very much.

Soon, the movie ends with a distant overhead shot of Skull Island.

The lights in the cinema hall came on, and the audience chatted and laughed excitedly and started to leave.

Liu Hang and the others didn't get up in a hurry, they sat in their seats, watched the subtitles, and waited for the easter eggs.

In the second half of the film, the youngest finally recovered a bit and began to appreciate the charm of the film.

Sitting in his seat, he said excitedly, "This movie is so good! Watching it in theaters is completely different from watching it on a computer!"

"Of course."

The boss also couldn't help admiring: "The special effects of this movie are too strong, and the sound effects are also amazing. It's strange. Why is the special effects production team in the subtitles behind a studio that I haven't heard of? Miracle Studio? Which new establishment is this? Is it a small factory?"

The third child couldn't forget the final ending: "It turns out that the heroine's name is An Qin, she is so beautiful, and the outfit behind is so rusty!"

However, when the subtitles ended, no Easter eggs appeared.

"Why are there no Easter eggs?"

The youngest was puzzled.

After finishing his notes, Liu Hang closed his notebook and said, "The last shot should be an easter egg, and the one rushing over in the forest should also be a monster. I guess the director plans to make a sequel."

Seeing that there were no easter eggs, everyone got up and prepared to leave.

The youngest still couldn't get enough of it: "I feel like I haven't watched it enough! I'll ask my classmates to watch it again tomorrow."

"Then you have to buy tickets quickly, there are not many tickets left for tomorrow."

The boss is also placing orders on the mobile phone ticketing software. When he came back this time, his family introduced him to a blind date. He planned to take that girl to the movies tomorrow to deepen his relationship.

Liu Hang's tickets for the next few days are all booked, but he still took out his phone to check.

Sure enough, when I watched it during the day, there were still a lot of tickets left for tomorrow's show of "Extreme Cold", but when I watched it now, there were not many left, and it was still decreasing rapidly.

He opened the box office rankings, and the real-time box office data has come out.

Director Jianghuai's "Frequency" ranked first with a box office of 21.21 billion, far ahead.

The second place is a family-style comedy film produced by the famous domestic comedy team Happy Youtiao.

Ranked third is a gangster film called "The Showdown". The protagonists are the famous film and television singer and actor Tang Qinghuan, an evergreen tree in the film industry, and the villain, the actor Zu Huanzhi, with a box office of 11.76 billion.

The fourth place is the historical masterpiece "Ink City", a new work by first-class director Wang Han, with numerous big-name actors, and its box office on the first day was 10.57 billion.

……

Looking at the rows of numbers, Liu Hang thought to himself.

It has only been two hours, and the box office of the top four on the first day of the box office has exceeded one billion. It seems that this year's Spring Festival box office will set a new record.

Jianghuai is still a sword that never grows old, and the box office directly broke 20 billion.

When the box office on the first day comes out, maybe he can break his record of 37.21 billion first-day box office.

Of course, according to industry rules, this includes a lot of pre-sale box office, but it is enough to show the market appeal of director Jianghuai.

However, the follow-ups are not weak either. If there is no new drama from Jianghuai, this year's Spring Festival should be their stage.

See how far "Deep Cold" is.

He looked down, looking for the name of "Extremely Cold".

Soon, he found "Extremely Cold" in the central position.

[NO.51: Cumulative box office of "Deep Cold": 1.65 million]

Actually ranked first?
Liu Hang was quite surprised.

This result is not bad, on the contrary, this result is already quite cowhide.

Horror movies are originally an unpopular movie category. In previous years, there were very few examples of horror movies competing for the Spring Festival.

The reason is simple. The nature of horror movies is not very suitable for the atmosphere of traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival is all about family reunion, so popular movies are naturally the most popular, and the box office will naturally rise.

Restricted-rated movies like horror movies will naturally lack a part of the audience market. It is naturally not so easy to get good results.

The management of the film market in Great Xia Kingdom is based on the coexistence of review and grading. The finished film has to be sent to the General Administration of Optoelectronics for review and grading before it can be released on the Dragon Label.

According to the grading standard of the Great Xia Kingdom, movies are generally divided into five levels.

The first is the general grade, that is, movies that can be watched by all age groups. There are no restricted-grade shots in the movie.Dialogues are also frequently encountered in daily life, and even children can watch them.

The second is the protection level, children under the age of 6 are not allowed to watch, and children over the age of 6 and under the age of 12 must watch it under the guidance of their parents, teachers or adult relatives and friends.

Then there is the restricted level.

The restriction level is divided into two levels: restriction level 12 and restriction level 15, meaning that children under the age of 12 are restricted from viewing; and children under the age of 15 are restricted from viewing.

"Jaws" is a movie with a rating of 12, and "Deep Cold" is a movie with a rating of 15.

After that, it's the adult level.

Movies of this level are prohibited for minors under the age of 18 to watch. They contain certain scenes of pornography and horror, which may cause minors to imitate.

In addition to these five levels, there is also a prohibited level, which means that it is prohibited to be screened in the territory of Great Xia, but if it is in countries such as the Free Federation and the Emirate of Afi with relatively loose restrictions, there is still a chance to be screened.

The horror movie with the best performance in the Spring Festival file in previous years should be the "Fox Mei Niang" from more than 20 years ago, right?
That movie ranked 312th among the 117 Spring Festival movies that year, and got a total box office of 9.7 million, which is the best result in the history of horror movies.

But this result is obviously about to be broken by this "Extreme Cold".

The box office exceeded [-] million on the first day. It seems that "Deep Cold" will set a new historical record for horror movies!

This is indeed the case. Just after 12 o'clock in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, after the first-day box office of all the movies in the Spring Festival was released, the first-day box office of "Extreme Cold" reached 1.86 million, ranking first among all the movies in the Spring Festival. It reached the 47th place, breaking the highest record of the horror movie category in the Spring Festival file and even in film history.

However, there is not much news related to it on the Internet, because everyone is paying attention to another thing, which is the new play "Frequency" directed by Jiang Huai, and the word of mouth seems to have collapsed.
