Chapter 303 The Three Hundred Spartan Warriors Exploded
Soon, the movie ended and there was warm applause.
This movie is really wonderful. Whether it's the plot, concept, or pictures, it's all perfect. It's a top-notch work.
Schneider breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.
Premieres are all specially invited guests, and they will applaud even if the quality of the movie is poor, but there is a difference between polite applause and applause after being shocked by the content of the movie.
Obviously, the movie quality is good.
Schneider came on stage and began to talk about some of the things that happened during the filming of the movie, providing some materials for the reporters on the scene.
Soon, the premiere ended and relevant reports came out quickly.
"'300' is shockingly released."
"How bloody was the legendary Battle of Thermopylae."
"Three hundred people against an army of half a million people, you think it's impossible, but it really happened in history."
"This is one movie you don't want to miss this year."
"Director Schneider's latest masterpiece, "300," is a classic epic movie that will shock you all year long."
In addition to the media, the audience also received positive reviews.
"nice."
"This movie is really wonderful."
"I went there with suspicion, but I was shocked when I saw that Leonidas dared to confront an army of 500,000 people with only 300 men."
"The movie's graphics are so special, just like the comics. It's so novel."
"I didn't expect that an unknown director could produce such an excellent work. It really refreshed my outlook."
"I watched the movie because I couldn't distinguish the plot of the movie, and I was not disappointed."
Both the media and the audience received positive reviews from "The 300" and they were all conquered by this movie.
Excellent works of art have such magical power, which is something that copycat movies cannot achieve.
In the face of the overwhelming praise of "300", there are not many topics about "300" and Xu Nan.
Indeed, some reporters reported that Xu Nan attended the premiere of "The 300", and some viewers also read the relevant news.
Similarly, because of the similar names of the two movies, many people watched the wrong movie, and they also complained about it online.
However, these news and complaints from netizens only attract a small amount of attention at most. Most viewers are already prepared for this and don't care much at all.
Copycat movies are nothing new to the audience. It is a very normal movie category, and it is still relatively niche.
People who like it will pay attention, and people who don't like it will be indifferent.
The day passed quickly, and the first-day box office of "The 300" was released.
The first day's box office was $21 million.
Seeing this number, Schneider stood up excitedly and walked around the room several times to vent his overly excited emotions.
The protagonist of the movie watched it twice in a row to confirm that the numbers were correct, and was overjoyed: "Director, we succeeded."
The box office on the first day was US$21 million. This result can be said to be very good. At least, it will not be a problem to recover the cost of the film.
Schneider smiled and waved his hand slightly: "Don't be proud. This is just the first day's box office. We can't relax yet. We need to continue to observe the next box office trend."
"Director Schneider, the reputation of our movie is very good, netizens have praised it, and the Rotten Tomatoes rating is also very high. I don't think there is anything to worry about." said the actor of the movie.
The smile on Schneider's face deepened, but he still said: "Don't be careless."
In fact, he also thinks this way. It is very rare for a movie to have a big box office hit on the first day but then plummet at the box office later on. Moreover, the reputation of their movie is so good that it is almost impossible for the movie to plummet at the box office later on.
The profit of this movie is almost 100%. The only question is how much profit it will make.
There is no doubt that he succeeded.
He, Schneider, succeeded.
At this moment, the heavy burden on his shoulders, the pressure that almost crushed him before, and the doubts about him all disappeared.
With this film, Schneider entered the ranks of great directors. His status was completely different from before, and he could be regarded as the number one person from now on.
The wonderful reality made Schneider feel happy.
After being immersed in joy for a while, he suddenly thought of something.
He took out his mobile phone and called a friend in the industry to see how the movie "3000" was doing.
This movie with a similar name has caused him a lot of trouble before, and he doesn't know what the box office was on the first day.
Soon, relevant data was sent to his mobile phone by a friend. When Schneider saw it, he immediately smiled.
"300" has a single-day box office of US$210,000, which is only one percent of that of 300.
"Ha." Schneider laughed.
But that's it!
Before, I was a little unhappy and jealous of Xu Nan, but now, all these emotions have disappeared.
He is now a big director in the United States. Xu Nan, a bad film director who specializes in making knockoff movies, is no longer on the same level as him.
He looked at Xu Nan purely with a downward gaze.
Of course, there is still some dissatisfaction.
Xu Nan deliberately chose a similar name and it was released on the same day as him, but it caused a lot of trouble for him.
Although the result was favorable to him, it did not erase the fact that Xu Nan had adversely affected him.
He kept this matter in mind and would vent it out sooner or later.
With this idea in mind, Schneider felt a sense of gloating about the single-day box office performance of "3000".
It's all in vain that you put so much effort into it, and the final result is just like this.
Not only Schneider has this idea, many people in the industry have similar ideas to Schneider.
In a movie discussion forum.
"The single-day box office of "3000" was only US$210,000."
"This result is a bit poor."
"Yes, before the movie was released, the fact that the two movies had similar names was very popular, and it also spawned a meme, which caused huge influence. I thought the box office in a single day could be at least one million, or even two or three. One million is normal, but the box office was only 210,000, which is really too little."
"This Chinese director also specially attended the movie premiere, trying to create a buzz, but the effect was just like that."
"It's really too little. The box office is 210,000. If it's released, it's like it's not released. It's better to just go online."
"I would like to remind everyone that the cost of this movie is very low. Even a box office of 210,000 yuan can still make a profit."
"Everyone knows that this movie is low-cost and that it can make a profit, but this cannot change the fact that the box office of this movie is very low."
"It's not okay to imitate the porcelain."
