Chapter 177, this movie is not simple(1/2)
As of now, the box office of "Lost Delta" during the pre-sale period really beats "Infernal Affairs".
Hao Huan looked at the cover of the movie and secretly thanked: "Fortunately, "Horror Cruise" was not used as the name of the movie! Otherwise, not to mention that the pre-sale box office exceeded 500 million, even 200 million would probably be difficult to achieve!"
Sure enough, it is indeed very necessary and useful to give a good movie name!
Hao Huan suddenly thought of his first movie, "The Age of Scared", isn't this a crazy name?
When you see this kind of movie name, let’s take a look at the movie classified as horror and thriller. How many viewers in China are willing to buy tickets to watch this movie?
On the other hand, the movie classification of "Horror Cruise" is also considered thrilling, but the level of thrilling is nothing. Basically, most viewers can bear it. So when you remove the label of "thriller", then add a pseudo-"science fiction" classification label to the "suspense" label, and then change to a movie title like "Lost Delta" that doesn't sound like it will be dismissed. So with its wonderful movie promotional film, it can instantly attract so many viewers!
This is also a clever marketing method!
Otherwise, movies with suspense and thriller themes will be too niche and unpopular to the audience.
Hao Huan got up early and went to the theater. He was used to going to the theater to watch the premiere every time his movie was released.
It was a rare and valuable experience for him to experience the viewing atmosphere on site and the viewing process of the audience in the cinema.
The most intuitive judgment of whether a movie is good or bad is to see the audience's experience of watching the movie on the spot.
For example, if a comedy, if there are few viewers in the entire theater, then the comedy has failed.
If the audience can't help but admire a special effects blockbuster, it means that the special effects scenes of this movie are not enough to shock the audience.
This is the experience Hao Huan gained when he visited the theater in person!
In the passenger seat, Wang Lexin had a morning vacation this morning, with the purpose of accompanying Hao Huan to watch the premiere of "The Lost Delta". After watching it, she would go to film "Painted Skin" at noon.
The crew members are basically going to the theater to watch the premiere now, because Hao Huan booked three movies at the nearby Dynasty Cinema for everyone to watch.
Wang Lexin asked curiously: "Boss, why don't we watch the premiere with the crew?"
She was very confused. Hao Huan had three movies for everyone in the crew to watch the premiere. Why didn’t he go to Dynasty Cinema with the crew to watch the premiere? He also chose other theaters to watch the premiere separately, and it felt like he was not sociable.
Hao Huan said in an orderly manner: "Everyone in the crew already knows what kind of movie it is, and what kind of scenes and plots it has. Can you still feel the real viewing atmosphere when watching the premiere with them? It's like others have been telling you, and you know the ending of the movie, so what else can you expect when you watch it?"
"Forehead……"
Wang Lexin said, "Then are you the same? The scripts are written by you, the movies are shot by you, and you are so clear about the direction of the plot of the movie. Then don't you have nothing to look forward to when watching the premiere? What's the difference between this and watching it with the crew?"
"You don't believe it if you say you are stupid!"
Hao Huan snorted coldly: "I just watch the premiere to experience the atmosphere of real audiences when watching my movie and the experience after watching it! Otherwise, do you think I'm so idle that I'm so idle that I'm wasting my time sitting in the theater?"
"oh……"
Wang Lexin understood, it turns out that you want to see what the audience looks like when watching the movie!
No wonder they don’t watch the premiere with the crew! They are not considered real audiences, and the viewing atmosphere is indeed not too real.
After rushing to the theater, Wang Lexin followed Hao Huan in and was stunned!
"Boss! There are so many people!"
The waiting hall of the entire theater was full of people! There were still many people who had no seats to sit, stood together to chat, or played with their mobile phones!
Many young people are recording videos on their mobile phones, lamenting that the cinema is so popular! They are all here to watch the premiere of "The Lost Delta"!
Hao Huan, wearing a mask, lowered his voice and warned Wang Lexin: "Don't talk, go line up to get tickets!"
"oh……"
Wang Lexin quickly shut up, for fear that someone would recognize them by chance.
When they walked to queue up to get tickets, Wang Lexin also wore that blue disposable mask, so no one recognized her. Among so many viewers at the scene, some people were wearing masks. The main reason is that they are coming in November, and the air quality is a bit poor, so many people wear masks when going out, which doesn’t seem to be 300 taels of silver here.
After queuing for 5 minutes, Wang Lexin finally got the ticket. She sat down at Hao Huan, who was looking down at the phone at the door. Then she stood on tiptoe and leaned into Hao Huan's ear and asked softly: "Boss, do you want to eat popcorn?"
"No!" Hao Huan responded in a low voice.
Wang Lexin said quietly: "Then I'll buy you a cup of Coke!"
She walked in line, then bought a small bucket of popcorn and two cups of coke and walked back in her arms.
"Boss, please take it!"
Hao Huan put his phone back in his pocket in disgust, took two cups of Coke, and coughed, "Line in line to check the ticket!"
The ticket checking is 15 minutes in advance, which is also a rare phenomenon in cinemas!
"Lost Delta" is so popular!
The screening rate is as high as 60%, and the premiere at 8:30 directly filled the waiting area of the theater. Many viewers who watched 8:45 and 9:00 have arrived in advance, and they can only stroll outside for more than ten minutes before coming in.
We moved forward slowly, and the team was a little long. In the team coiled like a long snake, there were basically some young people between the teenagers and 30 years old.
Finally, they were ranked.
Wang Lexin pinched the ticket and reached for the woman to check it, then pointed to Hao Huan behind her and said, "I'm with him!"
After checking the ticket, she took two pairs of 3D glasses and accelerated her pace towards the No. 5 Cinema Hall.
Hao Huan held a cup of Coke in each hand, looking at Wang Lexin helplessly, feeling like she was taking her daughter to watch a movie!
The seat of the movie ticket is still the middle area with the best viewing effect. After Wang Lexin sat down, Hao Huan handed her a glass of Coke and said, "Look at your Coke, don't drink the wrong thing again!"
"oh."
Wang Lexin responded casually, then looked at Hao Huan in shock, "Don't drink the wrong thing again, what the hell is it?"
She asked in a whisper: "I...had I missed the drink?"
"What about that?"
Hao Huan was full of contempt and said, "I didn't touch your cup of Coke last time! Because you drank my Coke!"
Wang Lexin widened her eyes, it was true or not? She said nervously: "Boss, then... do you have hepatitis B or AIDS?"
Hao Huan stared at her viciously and gritted her teeth and said, "I want to die, right?"
"I……"
"Silly pig! I don't even know how hepatitis B AIDS is transmitted!"
Hao Huan reached out and patted Wang Lexin's thigh, and said in a low voice: "Give me glasses, and then shut up!"
Wang Lexin gave Hao Huan a pair of 3D glasses and didn't dare to speak anymore because more and more viewers nearby found the right seat and sat down.
Not long after, the No. 5 cinema was already full of people!
Really full!
There is not even a space left!
Wang Lexin stood up and looked around. Her little face, which was taken off her mask and pretended to be in 3D glasses in advance, was shocked!
"boss."
She put her mouth close to Hao Huan's ear, and said quietly, "There's a lot of space! There's not a single empty space!"
Hao Huan said word by word to her: "Shut up! Mouth!"
"oh……"
Wang Lexin sat down bored and simply ate it with popcorn. She ate two and handed it to Hao Huan. Seeing that Hao Huan had not taken off the mask and had no intention of eating it, she took it back and chewed it slowly by herself before she ignored Hao Huan!
After 3 minutes.
The lights in the cinema were turned off, and Hao Huan took off his mask so as not to be recognized, which would affect the viewing experience at that time.
On the big screen, there are several commercial videos of movies, including the commercial videos of "Lost Delta".
Then, the movie began to play.
Hao Huan put on 3D glasses. I have to say that the visual effect of 3D movies is really cool. Just the company icon that appears at the beginning looks like it suddenly comes out of the screen and can be touched by reaching out.
The picture feels very strong and the visual effect is particularly realistic!
The movie begins to play. The heroine played by Song Jiayi hugged her son with a dull eyes and sobbed to her son that he had just had a nightmare. The nightmare made him see something that actually did not exist, so he closed his eyes and thought about something beautiful.
The beginning of this movie made the audience a little fascinated because it was too abrupt. They didn't know what happened before. Why did Song Jiayi cry with her son in her arms?
Then, what made the audience even more confused was that after the screen switch, Song Jiayi, who was still crying and comforting her son in front, suddenly became a scene where she was wearing a dress and happily tidying up her clothes outside.
A bird flew past in the air, screaming, Song Jiayi looked up and took her clothes back.
On the way, she passed by a small pool where her son usually learned to swim. There was a yacht toy on the water. She picked it up and threw it away with a little impatiently, and walked home.
Then, the close-up shot of the picture is a scene of a child holding a paint pen and drawing randomly.
After that, Song Jiayi knelt on the ground with a towel and rubbed the paint that had fallen all over the floor. Her face and temper had become a little impatient.
The doorbell rang.
She stood up, and the paint stained on her hands accidentally stained her skirt, so that she cursed and sweared with a bad temper.
The audience was confused by these prefabricated shots!
Someone even said, "Why does the editing feel messy? The first few paragraphs of the beginning are not right to switch plots!"
"Shh, now it's just beginning. Let's watch it first. The plot has not started yet. I'll just consider the previous plots to be edited as failures."
