Chapter 50 Just asking you whether it will explode or not? (Please collect and read)

"You should really go to the cinema and see the audience, it's so funny.

At the Cooper house, Eric, Warren, Bordeaux and Judy were sitting in front of the TV, which was showing footage from the cinema.

As for Billy, he hasn't come back from the UK yet. Michael Dobbs, the author of "House of Cards", is not just a writer. His main job is a politician, a Conservative MP and a special adviser to the government. He is very busy every day.

Billy had been dating for a long time, and he only agreed to meet because he was on vacation recently.

On the TV screen, I saw groups of young people walking into the cinema, buying tickets for Sharknado, and talking while waiting for the movie to start.

"You heard me right, I was browsing IMDB last night, and suddenly there were a lot of comments under "Jaws", all talking about "Sharknado", saying that it is comparable to "Jaws" A pioneering work, I must check it out.”

"Compared to "Jaws"? Are you kidding? That's Spielberg's movie. I've never heard of this director. Anthony Ferrante, do you know who he is? And this AK Film and Television, he's definitely not an arms dealer. ?”

"Jeff! Don't plant prejudices in your mind before watching a movie. That's wrong. Spielberg was a newcomer before he made "Jaws." Who knows if Anthony Ferrante will do it? Where's a Spielberg?"

A young couple was eating ice cream. The girl frowned and asked, "Charles, why do you want to watch this movie? "Date A Live" is obviously better.

The boy shook his head: "Lola, it was Howard who recommended it to me. He watched it yesterday and said that this movie is so awesome that we must watch it."

"But I want to watch Date A Live."

"Don't worry, after watching "Sharknado", we can continue to watch "Date Live", the night is still long."

Judy asked a little strangely: "Why are all the people buying tickets young? Are there no audiences of other age groups?"

"Because the publicity strategy used is mainly to post comments online, most of the people who like to surf the Internet now are young people."

"And young people like to do weird things. I can't let others escape if I'm unlucky. Office workers don't have such free time."

Bordeaux brought a plate of beer: "Is this kind of publicity strategy considered a scam?"

Eric laughed loudly: "Things about movies and art, everyone's understanding and pursuit of art are different, how can it be considered fraud?"

"Have you ever seen any movie that has 100% positive reviews? "The Godfather"? "The Shawshank Redemption"? "12 Angry Men"? No one can do that. This is art!"

The three of them nodded, making sense.

On the TV, the next scene showed the group of people walking out of the screening room. It was obvious that they had been fooled and were furious.

"This is what you call a classic movie comparable to "Jaws"? Are you crazy? This is simply the worst movie I have ever seen!" A young man yelled at his friend.

The other person whispered: "It's rare to see a movie this bad. Isn't it considered a pioneering work?"

"you"

"That makes sense!"

"Laura, Laura, don't be like this, don't act like this, how about we watch "Date A Live"? Don't you want to watch it? Please don't leave."

The little girl on the screen sighed: "Charles, forget it for today. My head hurts and I feel like a shark is chewing on it."

As a result, a voice-over sounded next to it: "Then you should stick it with a pool cue!"

Hahahaha, the cinema suddenly burst into laughter.

"Poor Charles! Warren, you killed that young man. He won't get a reward tonight."

Warren smiled evilly and said: "Then do you think he will be angry? And if he is angry, will he continue to recommend "Sharknado" to his friends?"

"Bing go! This is the characteristic of human beings, he will definitely do this!" Eric snapped his fingers

Bang!

The two clinked their glasses and drank the beer in one gulp.

In this situation where teenagers spread the word spontaneously in order to seek psychological balance, and the Internet trolls add fuel to the fire.

The box office of "Sharknado" was released on the second day, and it tripled to more than 4 million US dollars. It has already recovered its investment and achieved profit.

After getting this data, everyone at AK Film and Television cheered. Everyone knew that "Sharknado" was going to make a lot of money.

On December 18, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" was released, and the Battle of Helm's Deep began. The cavalry from the Fallen Khan and the orc army fought to the death on the screen. The exaggerated momentum created a magnificent war effect, just like a horse. The racing horses rushed into the distance.

On December 19, the Iron Cavalry from Middle-earth swept across the entire North American film market. All other films were affected without exception, and were killed and defeated.

"Sharknado" was not immune. The box office dropped to more than 2 million on the third day. This was because many people finished watching "The Lord of the Rings 2" and chose to watch "Sharknado" to relax.

This state of decline lasted for three days, until the end of the first weekend of "Lord of the Rings 2", and the monster's strongest stage was finally passed.

The first weekend box office of "Lord of the Rings 2" was US$62 million, which is still a long way from "Spider-Man 1".

In addition, the first weekend box office of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was 88 million US dollars, which also did not break the record of 1.3 billion of "Spider-Man 1".

Until next year, "Spider-Man 1" has completely secured the first weekend box office champion throne.

With the end of the strong period of "Lord of the Rings", coupled with the fact that Bemahadi approved another 500,000 funds to hire water army for publicity, "Sharknado", which had originally declined in popularity, has once again become popular.

The box office returned to 3.5 million on the sixth day, 4.4 million on the seventh day, and the total box office for the first 7 days was 12.7 million. After deducting the production and publicity costs, it has earned 4 million US dollars.

Compared with the scale of screening in 435 cinemas, the box office of 12.7 million is really insignificant. Generally speaking, this kind of movie will be reduced in scale in the second week, and then roll out of the big screen after the second week.

But "Sharknado" is an exception, because while the box office of all movies continues to decline, its box office continues to grow.

This phenomenon rarely occurs, and when it does, it usually represents a situation, that is, the film is of high quality and has a great reputation, and has been spontaneously promoted by fans.

Don't worry about whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, I just want to ask you whether it will be a big hit or not?

So after the first week's box office came out, especially after seeing the growth chart, Charlie Cooper waved his hand and expanded the screening halls to second-tier cities. The number of cinemas showing "Sharknado" has also increased to 970.

Christmas War, the fox who fishes in troubled waters is about to start to exert his strength.

The humble author prays online!
