Chapter 892

But before the premiere, news of Kidd's death appeared on major news websites. At this time, a lot of people are paying attention to the premiere. When reporters first spread the news to the Internet, it caused a big sensation.

Many netizens believed the news, spit on he Xizhi's home and microblog, and even led to many people's action of refund. For a moment, some experts also changed their argument for the first time. If the magician at the beginning of the century really killed Kidd, its box office would be greatly impacted.

"You deserve it!" Zhao Meng laughs when he sees the news. Speaking of his attention to the magician at the beginning of the century, he is no more relaxed than Zhongxia company. After all, the success or failure of this film will affect the mentality of many Chinese directors.

If the film fails and the box office is poor, he may be able to call those directors back with a high salary and give him a bad impression. But if the film is successful, there may be more directors interested in animation.

So anyway, he didn't want the movie to be successful. In fact, he has sent his subordinates to explore the news at the premiere of Ninghai. Unexpectedly, before his news comes back, Zhao Meng can get information in advance through the Internet.

From the information reported on the Internet, Zhao Meng judged that the credibility of the pictures and sources was very high, which made him look happy. He made two pots of tea in the office of the company and drank it himself.

Unfortunately, his joy didn't last long. After he finished his work and turned on the computer again, the tone of the Internet changed dramatically.

"Kidd's not dead!" Two minutes before the end of the premiere, Huna of Ninghai cinema suddenly heard the cheers of a young girl. She held her mobile phone in the hall and said to the people around her: "who said Kidd is dead? My sister said he is not dead at all. She is at the premiere!"

Hearing this sound, in the twinkling of an eye, there was a noise in the hall.

What's the matter“ It's impossible. Didn't it prove to be dead just now? Little girl, where did your news come from“ Yes, if it's not dead, what's the matter with those sneaky photos? "

Some people approached the girl. She was also nervous and said with a smile, "absolutely right, the movie is over. My sister just sent me a message secretly, and Kidd finally came out to help Conan!"

"But isn't the premiere over yet?" Someone looked at the time, a few minutes from the end of the premiere: "how did the movie end?"

But for this question, the girl did not answer, and others knew the answer: "the premiere is not over yet, but the movie should be over, and the ending song of the movie should be played at the end of the movie, and then the production team should be present to express their gratitude - so the Premiere is over."

Although the premiere of Phoenix company is simple, the final thanks must be indispensable. From the time point of view, the magician at the beginning of the century may indeed have ended the screening - and people in the cinema are beginning to believe it one after another.

"I'll tell you, how could teacher He Xi let the thief Kidd die?"“ Only a fool would believe that rumor, but it's a relief. I was scared just now“ Yes, yes. Fortunately, I'm rational and didn't refund tickets with them! "“ I really appreciate the rumor just now. If there is no refund, I won't be able to see it today! "

After getting the news that Kidd was not dead, the theater hall immediately became lively.

Just now the atmosphere of death disappeared, people's faces with a smile, in order to see "the magician of the beginning of the century" released smoothly and happy, but also for those who refund because of rumors feel schadenfreude.

"Do you think it's right that I won't let you refund your ticket?" Not far from the ticket office, a young couple attracted Hu Na's attention. The girl stretched out her hand and twisted the boy's arm: "you still quarreled with me. Now you know it's wrong?"

The boy showed a painful expression on his face, but still nodded: "yes, he Ming sold the ticket just now, but now he has to regret it to death... Pain, don't twist so hard!"

"Well, I can't stand the pain, can't I?" The girl said so, but her hand was loose, and she offered to rub it for her boyfriend: "you're lucky. Later, Xiaoxuan knows that Kidd is not dead, so she has to break he Ming's hand!"

The boy immediately smiles on his face. Hearing their conversation, Huna remembers that they were two couples who came to see the movie. One of them returned the ticket half an hour ago. Maybe now she is regretting it!

Now people who refund tickets can hardly get tickets for several days.

"It's a pity that she missed the chance..." Hu Na thought as she looked ahead. In her sight, several young people ran in from the outside and came to her in a hurry.

"Do you still have tickets for the magician at the beginning of the century?"“ Sorry, it's sold out“ I just refunded the ticket not long ago. How can I sell out so quickly“ Yes, there must be more tickets left. Take them out quicklyThese people spoke to Huna fiercely, but Huna still shook her head: "how can it be that" the magician at the beginning of the century "is a very popular movie. As soon as you withdraw, someone will buy it. If you want to..."

She pointed to one side and said, "you can ask people if they want to give it back to you." Several young people immediately turned to look at it. Of course, those who got the tickets didn't want to pay any attention to them. Why should they return what they have already got?

The men got angry, and then they pointed the finger at the young man who said, "Kidd is dead.".

"I grass, boy, blame you!"“ What rumors do you spread“ Your ticket hasn't been returned, has it? Give it to me, or my girlfriend will kill me later! "

Hu Na watched them angrily go to the young man just now. There were still many people in the young man's position, but most of them looked at the young man angrily, as if they thought he was deliberately cheating them. Some reporters nearby were also stunned and were stunned by the sudden situation.

"That was false news?"“ Unfortunately, the editor in chief has to deduct my salary“ Man, you can't be so unkind - should you give us back the interview fee just now? "

Hearing the voices of reporters from a distance, Huna almost laughed. But she still realized that the situation was not right, and quickly let the security guard look at it, so as not to let those angry people hurt the young people.

And a few minutes later, with the end of the premiere, all the rumors about Kidd on the Internet were broken

When Zhao Meng noticed, the news of all news websites was taken off the shelves at an extraordinary speed, and there were many clarification replies from netizens below the reports that were not taken off the shelves. Moreover, the wind of microblog and forum has completely changed, and those who forward rumors before have been scolded by fans of Detective Conan.

"Those who spread rumors will die for me!"“ What is it? Are you sure about it next time? I was so scared that I almost sold the movie tickets for tomorrow“ Damn, it's because of these people. Teacher He Xi is so scared every time he makes a new work“ I didn't believe it from the beginning. It exposed the essence of fake powder. "

Seeing all these curses, Zhao Meng's heart became cold.

But he gritted his teeth again. Kidd didn't die. It just means that the film didn't make this big mistake, but it doesn't mean that there are no other mistakes. It doesn't mean that the magician at the beginning of the century is successful - its success criteria are very strict. The press generally focuses on the total box office of three billion!

The box office of three billion is the goal of Phoenix company's internal disclosure, but in fact, the external standard is roughly on this figure. If the total box office is more than 3 billion, it means that "the magician at the beginning of the century" is a great success. It is acceptable that it is less than this number but more than 2.5 billion.

If it doesn't reach 2.5 billion, it will be a failure!

Zhao Meng hopes that the total box office will not reach 2.5 billion, because then he has enough reasons to persuade the four directors to come back. If it's more than 2.5 billion yuan, and less than 3 billion yuan, he will pay more, which may also produce some effect. Whether he can let the directors come back is not to say - at least other directors will see that the animation industry is not so easy to get along with and will not easily change jobs.

Even in China with a population of billions, it can be said that it is a super popular film. The transformation of the four directors will be very successful, and the shock caused can not be underestimated.

"Three billion, it's unlikely..."

Zhao Meng comforted himself nervously that if he wanted to get the total box office of three billion yuan, the minimum box office requirement for the first day of "the magician at the beginning of the century" would be more than 400 million yuan, which is difficult for ordinary films to reach.

"Ordinary film, after reaching this figure, can also become one of the star works in this year's Film Festival." Zhao Meng thought so, waiting for the phone report anxiously - the subordinate he sent to attend the premiere was a senior film box office expert, and his judgment was very accurate.

And within minutes, the call arrived.

"Mr. Zhao, the magician at the beginning of the century, is likely to reach three billion at the box office..." the first sentence on the opposite side of the phone chilled Zhao Meng's heart. He gritted his teeth: "the movie is excellent?"

"Well, it won't disappoint people. If it's an original human reasoning movie, the total box office should be around one billion." The subordinate paused and sighed: "however, considering that the cartoon and animation of Detective Conan have been serialized for three or four years, the original film has become a well-known and popular work in China, and the box office will be very high."

"In fact, judging from the current popularity of ticket purchase and film arrangement, it's not impossible that today's box office will exceed 500 million."

In the past two months, there has been no very popular film. The release of the magician at the beginning of the century has taken advantage of it. In addition to the great success of "five centimeters per second", the cinema operators have great enthusiasm in film arrangement."When five centimeters per second was released, I should have completely destroyed it!" Zhao Meng repented. If he had tried his best to destroy the box office of "five centimeters per second", how could He Xi be ignored by the cinema operators now!

The results of "five centimeters per second" in those years have been very surprising. Who would have thought that "the magician at the beginning of the century" would go to a higher level!

However, the subordinates did not fully take credit for the former: "it is certain that the magician at the beginning of the century surpasses five centimeters per second. The popularity of the original book is different. In addition, five centimeters per second is too abusive and refuses many audiences. The magician at the beginning of the century has no worries about this... And, He Xi's personal influence growth is also crucial. "

The growth of He Xi's influence is amazing, almost the same every year. In fact, when he was a cartoonist, his popularity was still increasing at a predictable level, but since Phoenix company began to make animation, He Xi's increasing fans every year can't be estimated, and has not been saturated yet.

"Where there is animation, there is no pity!"

The media once described He Xi's influence in this way. His influence is highly consistent with the growth speed of Chinese animation. Almost everyone who watches animation will know He Xi and be familiar with his works. With the rapid development of animation in recent years, He Xi's influence is rolling like a snowball.

Now there is a saying that "He Xi is the national idol of China", which is one of the reasons why Zhao Meng is so wary of him.

In fact, He Xi's popularity in China is quite amazing, which can be said to surpass that of any business star. The reason why this matter has not been confirmed is that He Xi has never fully used his fans - so no one can grasp the real data.

How terrible is He Xi, and whether his popularity has been invincible. If He Xi continues to be so low-key and conservative according to the current situation, no one can judge without years of observation.

However, some obvious phenomena have gradually emerged. Zhao Meng knows that in recent years, more and more reports have been made about He Xi and Phoenix company.

In the past, small newspapers that only paid attention to the news of Phoenix company have been growing at an amazing speed in the past two years. It is even reported that He Xi's unpopular newspapers have gradually developed their business to the mountainous and remote areas in the mainland, which is the most alarming phenomenon for Zhao Meng.

This phenomenon proves that the residents in remote areas already know He Xi's existence and are more and more interested in his affairs - and most stars don't have such treatment.

It is said that theaters in county-level cities have also ushered in an unprecedented upsurge in booking tickets for the premiere of the movie "the magician at the beginning of the century". The reason for the investigation is that there are many fans who like He Xi, animation and comics in the villages and towns. Some people go to the county to support the first animated film of Detective Conan.

Zhao Meng really wants to comfort himself. It's all rumors
