Pei Qian hurriedly opened the movie's promotional page to check it out.

United States / 134 minutes
Released on 2011-03-12
Introduction
On the eve of World War I, a traumatized former military officer Tim (John Stanton) inadvertently travels to a mysterious planet and becomes involved in the strife of multiple forces on the planet. Although these forces regard him as the key figure to end the conflict, and even gain the love of the beautiful princess Lynne (Degar Morton), can he really leave the past behind and reverse the fate of this planet
After reading this introduction, Pei Qian's joyous mood was instantly poured into a basin of cold water.
This story doesn't seem very attractive!
But then I think about it... It seems that the films made in the United States are all this way. The "Avatar" that was popular all over the world before also traveled to another planet and fought hot with local indigenous girls
Well, almost.
The key is to look at the director and investment!
As long as the director is reliable and the investment is a little higher, it will definitely be easy for this film to rub "Better Tomorrow" on the ground!
Pei Qian hurried to check out more information about the movie.
After reading it, Pei Qian let out a long breath.
Steady!
Director Darryl directed his first animated short film as early as 1988. So far, he has directed many films and has been nominated for many Academy Awards. In 2005, his animated film garnered 600 million dollars at the global box office and won to the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film, which he won again in 2008 for his next sci-fi animated film.
The film "Flying Star Journey" is based on a classic science fiction published in the United States in 1911. Now it also happens to be the 100th anniversary of the original work. The total investment of the film exceeds 170 million knives. The actors are star-studded and the male lead John Stanton worked hard to complete a very rigorous physical training during the filming. He lost a full 25 pounds while enduring the pain and torture to complete the filming, which is a model of dedication.
In short, Pei Qian watched the information of this film from beginning to end, and felt at ease in an instant.
This is the standard American blockbuster template!
Look at this luxurious lineup, look at this big investment, famous directors and actors plus a good script, broadcast it all over the world, it should be no problem to make a total box office of 6.7 billion dollars, right
If you do it casually in China, the 5 or 600 million soft sister coins are also appropriate.
And just forget about Pei Qian. According to the investment of 170 million dollars, the global box office of this film of 5.6 billion dollars can only be regarded as not losing money.
If it's a big explosion, then why do you have to run for a billion!
At that time, the major theaters will work hard to arrange films and squeeze "Better Tomorrow" out of the picture, isn't it a piece of cake
At present, the cinema has given 31.4% of the film on the first day of its release. If the next trend is good, then this film will definitely rise!
And "Better Tomorrow" has dropped to less than 15%.
The only pity that Pei Qian feels right now is that this film was released more than half a month late. If it can be released together with "Better Tomorrow", it will definitely be stable!
But it is not too late to release it now, at least it will reduce a lot of follow-up income for Pei Qian!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian was simply inspired.
…
…
Saturday, March 12.
Today is the weekend, so there is no need to go to work, but for Pei Qian, every weekend from today onwards, the task is very heavy!
While eating Moyu takeout, he checked the reservation status of otto e1 mobile phone.
Sure enough, so far, the number of reservations has not reached 5,000. This time the stocking can suppress at least 4,000 units, which is almost the same as the number estimated by Pei Qian.
On the Internet, this figure has also aroused ridicule from many people.
Because when the otto e1 mobile phone was just launched, it was very lively. The video of the conference was on the digital list of the Elli Island website, and the passage of Changyou also attracted everyone to imitate.
On the day of the press conference, 1,000 units were instantly robbed, which once created the illusion of high popularity.
Before, many people questioned that this was starvation marketing, but now the deposit payment reservation is open, but the number of reservations is only less than 5,000 units, which is an order of magnitude worse than other big-name mobile phone manufacturers who often reserve tens of thousands of units.
As a result, the spray points of everyone changed very naturally.
"Otto Technology is really a bad move, they should continue to engage in hunger marketing, so that the popularity of the mobile phone can be maintained. It's a few pounds, and there are only 5,000 people making reservations, isn't it ashamed?"
"Even if it's fake? It's not ashamed to add one more person after the number of pre-orders!"
"Hehe, I think Mr. Chang must have swelled. All the 3,000 mobile phones in front of him have been sold out, giving him the illusion that this phone seems to be very popular, so he made a reservation, and it was revealed in an instant!"
"When it's out of stock, you talk about hunger marketing, and when it's in stock, you say the phone isn't popular enough. The trolls will always be invincible..."
"Hehe, that's the truth, don't ask for more, if this phone can sell 30,000 units in total, then I will reluctantly admit that it is popular, the key is it? , this has reached the top! It turns out that marketing and IQ taxes can't go far!"
Looking at these evaluations, Pei Qian felt much more comfortable, and he ate a few more mouthfuls of food.
Especially the last one, which is righteous and loud, completely asserting that Otto's mobile phone is useless, which makes Pei Qian feel relieved for a while.
The only pity is that this guy probably doesn't know the market very well. In fact, just selling 3,000 units has already made President Pei 12 million. Even if these profits are returned to other departments, he has made more than 100 yuan. Ten thousand.
If this sells 30,000 units, won't it cost President Pei's life
Then, Pei Qian took another look at the player reviews of "be quiet".
So far, players are still arguing about the purchase threshold of this game, and there are only a few topics about the game itself.
Although the sales of the game are also increasing, so far, less than 10,000 copies have been sold in total.
Compared to the previous games, it was a start to the sky!
Pei Qian is very happy that the persuasion process he carefully designed is obviously effective, and the effect is remarkable!
Of course, there was no shortage of scolding.
This is also the point of the most disputes among players on the Internet.
At the beginning, "be quiet" was released. Players found that they could not buy it. They had to decrypt the arg first. Many players were so angry that they even left the game behind;
After a whole week of solving the puzzle of arg, it was finally solved, and many people happily wanted to buy it, but found that there are preconditions!
And this precondition even takes nearly an hour to complete a terrifying little game, and even some people who don't have a camera at home have to get a camera...
Although "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" are already free, but for many people who have never played these two games, they don't want to download it at all, and they don't want to play at all.
In short, these few preconditions have been taken down, and a large number of players have been persuaded to repel, and it has also caused great controversy, which has continued to this day.
Some players said that Tengda floated away, released himself, and made a meaningless propaganda, which actually affected the sales of the game, and waited for the game to die violently;
Some players also said that the game screens out players in this way, so that those impatient white players cannot enter the game, which can purify the game environment and improve the game experience. It is part of the game marketing strategy, and currently Look, very successful.
For these disputes, Pei Qian watched with relish.
Pei Qian wanted to tell everyone that you were right!
I really want the game to die violently, and it is indeed screening players, you are talking about the same thing!
In addition to the two types of people who are arguing fiercely, there are some posts that make Pei Qian feel the greatness of the wisdom of the people.
A player named "super general" posted a post, detailing the strategies for passing the preconditions, including how long to drive in "Lonely Desert Highway", how to choose each time in "Game Producer", Go to the tpdb website how to operate and so on.
The most annoying thing is that the poster also came up with the ultimate way of skipping class to pass the final test: find a piece of paper and dig a hole in it and cover it on the screen, so that you only need to keep staring at the one behind the hole. A small piece of the screen is fine, completely unaffected by the ghosts around the screen.
The ultimate test that originally required more than half an hour of trying and had a strong willpower to succeed. After using this kind of skipping game, many people can pass it with one try...
For this post, Pei Qian only has two words in capital letters, admire!
Of course, there is a way to make up for this loophole, and that is to continue to adjust the gameplay of the game, so that the player's eyes must sweep across the corners of the screen throughout the process, instead of just staring at one place.
However, considering that the current game sales are not very good, it is obvious that the current challenge already has a strong persuasive effect, so Pei Qian turned a blind eye to this.
After all, the ones who can really reach this last step are already a few people in the player group.
Finally, Pei Qian opened the Gouyan app to check the box office status of "Flying Star Journey" on the first day.
It has just arrived at noon, and the box office of "Flying Star Journey" has already broken 11 million, and the box office on the first day should be around 24 million.
Pei Qian couldn't help frowning slightly. He didn't seem to be as good as he imagined
But after thinking about it, today is the first day of the show, and there will be a wave of movie viewing tomorrow and Sunday. Wouldn't it be easy to add up to 60 million in two days
Famous director + famous actor + big investment + big scene, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to rush, and it is not easy to cut a box office of 670 million or 700 million. Do you have the nerve to say hello to others
Pei Qian still remembers that the box office of "Better Tomorrow" was less than 8 million in half a day, and about 17 million in the first day. The estimated box office of the dog eye app has reached 210 million.
After that, the data of "Better Tomorrow" is still rising, and now the estimated box office of the Gouyan app has reached 230 million.
Pei Qian hurriedly clicked on the estimated box office of "Flying Star Journey".
"320 million soft sister coins???"
"Such a good film has such an estimated box office? I don't believe it!"
Pei Qian almost thought that the number was missing a 0.
But on second thought, Gouyan app's box office estimates are only estimates, not necessarily accurate, especially in this case based on half-day box office estimates, it is even more inaccurate.
Don't you underestimate "Better Tomorrow"
"Flying Star Journey" Come on, I'm optimistic about you!
Tomorrow, you must slap the face of the Gouyan app with a high box office, so that it knows what it means to see people with dog eyes, oh no, dog eyes see low films!
Pei Qian looked at tomorrow's schedule again. The schedule of "Flying Star Journey" has risen from 31.4% to 32.3%. Although the increase is not much, it will still have a good suppressing effect on "Better Tomorrow".
Because "Better Tomorrow" has been released for 19 days, it should be released in ten days.
Moreover, it is not only the film "Flying Star Journey" that has put pressure on the film schedule of "Better Tomorrow", there are other films being released one after another during this period.
The box office of "Better Tomorrow" has now dropped to the third place. The top two are "Flying Star Journey" and "The Pursuit". The latter is also a new movie just released two days ago, although the total box office is definitely not higher than "Beautiful" Tomorrow", but after all, it is a new movie with a high ranking, and the single-day box office can still stabilize the "Beautiful Tomorrow".
Now the daily box office of the three films is at the level of 20 million, 8 million and 4 million respectively.
But under the constant squeezing of the previous two films, "Better Tomorrow" seems to have become a hero.
