Perfect Superstar

Some people do something wrong and say something wrong, and they will do everything possible to deny, evade, or simply pretend to be a dead dog, but some people will apologize openly, even if it may affect their reputation.

There are a lot of big and small v on the Inspur blog, and there are two kinds of people. The number of the former is undoubtedly far more than the latter. Some even prefer to sue and lose money instead of apologizing, just because they are worried that they will lose followers.

Wang Xiaoxu is undoubtedly the latter.

His pen is very good, and he never gives up easily when he argues with others in columns and blogs, but if he is really wrong, he will not stand up for the sake of face.

At 10:05 p.m. on April 4, the well-known writer and film critic solemnly apologized to "A Chinese Ghost Story" and Lu Chen on his personal blog with 1.75 million followers.

The reason for the apology was naturally his doubts about the box office and peripheral sales of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in "Movie Weekly" last time, and it turned out that he was wrong.

Because tonight, Wang Xiaoxu went to the theater to watch the movie in person, and bought a peripheral product.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. He admitted that he made a subjective mistake and had a habitual prejudice against domestic films, but he did not expect "A Chinese Ghost Story" to be so outstanding.

In this blog post, Wang Xiaoxu praised "A Chinese Ghost Story", thinking that the movie has reached a very high standard in terms of plot, characters, soundtrack, background props, and special effects scenes, especially in terms of soundtrack and character creation. A true masterpiece!

The peripheral products of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are not only rich in quantity, but also of excellent quality, and the price is not very expensive. It is unexpected and reasonable to be able to achieve such a high sales volume.

Whether it is the film itself or the peripheral products, the producer has done the word "carefully"!

In the past decade or so, the domestic movie market has continued to boom, and with the advent of the Internet age, movie reviews are no longer limited to a few professionals. Internet bloggers and post bar forums are full of netizens who talk about movies well.

But in this circle of big and small, Wang Xiaoxu is undoubtedly an influential film critic. His film criticism articles not only appear in his personal blog, but also often published in newspapers and magazines.

So when his film review written in the form of an apology was published on the blog, it immediately caused quite a stir in the circle, and many people in the circle forwarded or commented on it one after another.

But the fans who had been sneering at Wang Xiaoxu saw it, and they immediately changed their positions.

I like Wang Xiaoxu's sincere apology and forward it a lot.

The number of fans of Wang Xiaoxu's blog exceeded 2 million very quickly!

Many ordinary netizens who saw Wang Xiaoxu's blog post couldn't help being curious about "A Chinese Ghost Story". Everyone wanted to see if this highly praised film was genuine, and ordered movie tickets online.

Although some people wondered whether Wang Xiaoxu had collected money and joined hands with Lu Chen to hype, but such a voice was too weak to cause any disturbance.

The reason is simple, because the opponent of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is an imported Hollywood blockbuster, not a domestic film with a huge investment, otherwise the doubts will be at least ten times louder.

Public opinion on the Internet can affect reality, especially the word-of-mouth of a movie. "A Chinese Ghost Story" had a box office of 38.75 million on the first day on April 2, breaking through 40 million the next day, and reaching 43 million on the 4th, breaking 100 million in three days!

What is jaw-dropping is that on April 5, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" soared to 65 million+, and the screening rate has exceeded 30%.

"Decisive Battle of Vulcan" has been released for two weeks, and the box office decline is inevitable, but the problem is that since the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story", its box office has dropped very well, especially on the 5th, it dropped to 3700 million, losing to "A Chinese Ghost Story" at the box office of 28 million.

According to someone in the circle, it was a shock to everyone's eyes!

The goal of "Decisive Battle on Vulcan" is to go for more than one billion. Its real opponent was originally Lion Pictures' fantasy blockbuster "Legend of the Holy Land" to be released on April 9, which also has a huge investment in Hollywood blockbusters.

Unexpectedly, before the arrival of "Legend of the Holy Land", it lost to "A Chinese Ghost Story".

In terms of publicity, investment scale, and special effects scenes... "Battle on Vulcan" can lightly crush "A Chinese Ghost Story", and such a result is really surprising.

On April 6th, 7th, and 8th, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" continued to rise with the increase in the screening rate, pulling out a dazzling big positive line, and on the 8th, which is before the release of "Legend of Holy Land" One day, the single-day box office exceeded 100 million!

For a domestic film, this is undoubtedly a miraculous existence. Although it is not unique, it is definitely the only one in recent years!

From April 2 to 8, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released for a week, and the box office reached 420 million in the first week.

The industry fell silent.

Many people know that the investment in "A Chinese Ghost Story" is only 30 million, and the domestic publicity and marketing is basically no more than this amount. Even if the follow-up publicity investment is included, it will not exceed 100 million.

The box office of 420 million has steadily earned back all costs and achieved a considerable profit.

Not only that, the peripheral sales of "A Chinese Ghost Story" have also reached 80 million+, creating an unprecedented record for domestic films including Hong Kong and Taiwan films, and this sales performance has also greatly surpassed "The Battle of Vulcan".

A Hollywood blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million US dollars actually lost out to a domestic film in terms of peripheral sales. This was something that was unimaginable before, but now it has really come true!

This can't help but remind people of Lu Chen's bold statement on his blog earlier, saying that "A Chinese Ghost Story" will win 500 million box office and over 100 million peripheral sales.

At that time, apart from Lu Chen's die-hard fans, not many people believed it at all, and many people in the circle were still secretly laughing at his arrogance, thinking that he had been carried away.

What about now? It is not a problem for "A Chinese Ghost Story" to exceed 500 million at the box office, and it is not a dream to hit 1 billion, but it has such real potential.

Those who laughed at Lu Chen at the beginning are now all swollen faces!

The real surprise is yet to come. On April 9, because of the release of "Legend of the Holy Land", "A Chinese Ghost Story" finally dropped with "relief", with a box office of 87 million on that day.

However, with almost the same screening rate, the box office of "Legend of the Holy Land" can exceed 80 million, and it even lost on the first day to "A Chinese Ghost Story" which has been in theaters for 8 days!
