Chapter 188 Big Box Office Sales

The hot discussion of "Happy Graduation" lasted all day, and it was not until the next night that the heat dissipated due to the revelation that a certain male star had an illegitimate child.

For Zhou Yiyang, the popularity was much higher than he expected.

At least the graduation party he planned has become a project that many people are looking forward to. There are even teachers who encourage their students to watch it.

Zhou Yiyang was naturally happy. Sponsors for the graduation party alone were already lining up. As for the title sponsor, they even offered a sky-high price of hundreds of millions.

Of course, this title was reserved for the Ning family. Once the bosses heard about the title sponsor, they all quietly withdrew from the competition.

"Mr. Zhou," Guan Fei walked up to him at some point, "Next, the focus of our promotion will shift to the movie."

"Of course," Zhou Yiyang nodded: "As long as the box office exceeds 200 million, the money will be repaid, so you ask everyone to work hard to promote it. For theaters, the film schedule for the first three days should still be guaranteed, right?"

"Yes, most of the theater managers have signed contracts to guarantee the first week of filming. Moreover, our schedule is not very popular, and there are not many competitors in the same period. The number one film schedule can be guaranteed for at least two weeks."

Although Guan Fei knows that if the quality of the movie is not good, the attendance rate will be low and the number of movies will gradually decrease.

However, "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" received good reviews at the Cannes Film Festival, and she doesn't think the movie will be a hit in terms of reputation.

Ning Mang has also been very happy these past two days. He didn't expect that Zhou Yiyang would specially reserve a title sponsor position for him.

At first, some people in the circle heard that he sponsored Moonlight’s graduation party, and they thought he was going to overturn this time.

After all, it's not a holiday, and it's not yet a star. The graduation party seems to be aimed at students, so it doesn't look like a high-quality investment project.

But no one expected that Zhou Yiyang would once again rely on a short film to achieve a series of unexpected publicity effects.

At this moment, when they wanted to compete for the right to sponsor the graduation party, it was already too late.

People are in high spirits during happy events, so Ning Mang waved his hand and gave the entire company a two-day holiday, and decided to organize them to book a movie theater this Friday.

The movie I watched was of course "The Killer Isn't Too Cold".

On the day the movie aired, Zhou Yiyang also booked the theater to watch the movie.

"Brother Yang," Tang Yue asked curiously: "Every time you book a theater to watch our own movies, does this act count as buying box office?"

Su Yin on the side listened happily: "Yes, why didn't I think of such an interesting question? If you ask me, this should be counted, but the scale is too small, so no one cares."

"I have multiple identities," Zhou Yiyang said nonsense seriously: "When I was making the movie, I was the director, when it was released, I was the boss, and now when I watch the movie, I am just a fan."

"That's reasonable," Lin Xuan'er said with a smile, "Brother Yang, you are so eloquent."

"Why does it sound like I have multiple personalities?" Wang Xingrui clicked her tongue. It was obvious that she had read novels on this theme recently.

Although the other staff couldn't get in the conversation, they were still in a happy mood following me.

A two-hour movie is already too long for a theater.

Nowadays, many movies are compressed to around 90 minutes in order to rush to schedule. In this way, more shows can be scheduled a day, and the audience will not be irritated.

But when the movie started, the noisy audience in the theater suddenly became quiet.

I originally thought that "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" should be a literary film, but I didn't expect that the beginning of the movie would be so exciting.

Ning Mang sat in the theater, listening to the shocking visual effects and sound effects, and had to sigh with emotion that Zhou Yiyang really spent all his money wisely.

Those employees who were not interested in movies at first were now interested.

The story continues to advance, and the audience's hearts are tightly grasped by the plot, without even the slightest thought of going to the toilet.

Ning Mang raised his eyebrows and lamented that Zhou Yiyang has become more and more mature in making commercial films. His rhythm is really top-notch and he won't give anyone a chance to act.

But in such a mature mode, he also told a very touching story.

When the killer finally died, cries erupted one after another in movie theaters across the country at the same time.

Even after rewatching it for the second time, Su Yin was still deeply moved by the plot.

"No, I must give it a five-star review. The second time I watch it, I will have a different experience than the first time."

"Indeed," Tang Yue answered her in a rare serious manner: "When I rewatched it, I discovered a lot of details and foreshadowings. No wonder Yang Ge's film has been well received at film festivals."

If "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" ended up missing out on the Cannes Palme d'Or because of its overly commercial shooting techniques and story template.

Then now that it returns to its own battlefield, it will really stop and kill the god.

The first batch of audience reviews came out, and the ratings of Yunpiaoping and Miaoyan both reached 9.4, which can be said to be a very rare high score.

"Mr. Zhou," Bai Yangyu analyzed: "Judging from the rating data released so far, the score this time is very stable, and there is still room for growth. I even think it may reach 9.5."

"So high?" Zhou Yiyang was shocked. He then thought about it again. It seemed that this was really a commercial movie that catered to both men and women and had no shortcomings.

"Yes, the final tragic ending did not arouse disgust, but instead sublimated the story. Therefore, the rating of this movie on Douban is not low, reaching 8.9 points."

"Yeah." Zhou Yiyang nodded. He was not surprised by this Douban score. After all, the original work also scored very high in its previous life.

After the word-of-mouth came out, it completely shocked the major box office forecasting agencies.

At the beginning, they only imagined "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" as the kind of literary film shot by Zhang Yingyuan and Chang Tiesheng that has high reputation but low audience acceptance.

Who would have thought that this movie would actually be a standard commercial film.

The original highest prediction was only 500 million box office, but in one night, it was like a rocket and it rushed to 1.5 billion.

This is not even a popular period. If this movie is not released until July, I am afraid these organizations will adjust the box office even higher.

The box office on the first day was released, and as expected it fell over 100 million, which is a very impressive result.

Zhang Yingyuan was also shocked. Now he felt more and more that he, a student, indeed had an amazing talent in controlling the audience's preferences.

If it were filmed according to his original script, he estimates that the cumulative box office may not exceed 100 million.
