After returning to China, Wan Xiaohu was immediately enveloped in a wave of news. The box office of "The Butterfly Effect" in the second week was released, which was 14 million, which was a significant decrease from the first week, but the total box office still exceeded 41 million, making it the box office champion of domestic commercial films. Some media have directly dubbed Wan Xiaohu the "New Hope for Chinese Films", coupled with the title of "Master of Domestic Science Fiction Films" that was noisy during the original promotion, and even the highly praised "Flagbearer of Sixth Generation Directors", a film "The Butterfly Effect" has the potential to become a god. Domestic films have been hungry for a long time, and it is difficult to produce a first-class commercial film. Coupled with Huayi Brothers¡¯ massive publicity and solid box office support, the media had no scruples when it came to blowing the story. Of course, in the face of these flattery, Wan Xiaohu still has some self-awareness. If you include Hollywood, Hong Kong movies, theme movies, and "Shaolin Temple" that year, the achievement of "Butterfly Effect" is nothing at all. "Titanic" grossed 359 million yuan in mainland China, "True Lies", "A Simple Mission", "Life and Death" and "Shaolin Temple" all exceeded 100 million yuan, and "Red Zone", " "Who Am I" and "Saving Private Ryan" are both close to 100 million. "We have done a lot of publicity in the past two weeks, but the drop in box office is also a bit large. In addition, many county and city-level cinemas have obtained pirated copies. Even if we strictly investigate, we can't stop piracy. In the future, It¡¯s hard to say whether it can get a box office of 10 million for a while.¡± In Huayi Brothers¡¯ office, Wang Zhonglei told Wan Xiaohu about the movie¡¯s sales during this period: ¡°However, the film has started to be released in Hong Kong, so we don¡¯t know yet. Box office data, however, according to the news from Huanyu, the screening situation is not bad. In Southeast Asia, a lot of copies have also been sold, and South Korea and Japan are still in contact. In general, "The Butterfly Effect" is far beyond. Our expected results, just from the mainland, are huge. " "To be honest, I can't believe that we can get such a high box office in the mainland," Wan Xiaohu said sincerely. Although he knows that "The Butterfly Effect" is a good movie, he also knows that in the previous trajectory, the box office of "The Butterfly Effect" did not seem to be too popular. In his opinion, "The Butterfly Effect" is one of those movies that has a good reputation but a small market. When I first wanted to make "The Butterfly Effect", I just wanted this classic to be born in my own hands, and I didn't have much ambition to make money. Who would have thought that it would receive a lot of enthusiasm from the audience in the Mainland. Wang Zhonglei laughed: "Don't underestimate the domestic audience's interest in watching movies. Although piracy of discs is serious now and the movies are really good, the audience is still willing to go to the cinema to watch movies. Moreover, it is not that ordinary people do not have money now. I can only say that the market is not Good, but that doesn¡¯t mean there can¡¯t be exceptions. Two years ago, a Category III film about a shipwreck could earn more than RMB 300 million. Everyone can clearly see how big the market potential is. ¡° ¡°The potential is huge, but it¡¯s difficult to develop, there¡¯s no one. After three to five years of struggle, the mainland market still cannot take off." Wan Xiaohu nodded. "That's right. The current market is too deformed. Piracy and underreporting are common, and there is a circle of people suffering from pinkeye." Wang Zhonglei sneered, "You have been in South Korea these days, and you still don't know that if we hadn't suppressed it in the newspapers, They are all criticizing "The Butterfly Effect" "What's going on?" Wan Xiaohu was surprised. "What else can happen? I have pink eye. When the box office did not come out at first, everyone was happy. Even if the Golden Rooster Award did not give much face, it gave three special awards as consolation. Regarding "The Butterfly Effect", I can say good things A lot. Now that the box office has come out and you have become popular and we have made money, some people can¡¯t stand it anymore and started to scold you. ¡°It comes and goes. Why did you scold Feng Xiaogang before? How can I scold you now? I say that "The Butterfly Effect" is vulgar. It turned a serious subject like science fiction into a romance film, with insufficient humanistic care and vulgar themes. What's more, you and Feng Xiaogang are of the same school. They are both kitsch. Abandoning the artistic accomplishments of filmmakers, there is a lot of verbosity. Fortunately, there are still people who understand that the movie must ultimately rely on box office support. We suppressed it and finally suppressed this noise. However, you have to have it. Mentally prepare, the box office has been squeezed out, we are about to start talking about it, and we can¡¯t hold it down anymore. " Wan Xiaohu felt uncomfortable, and then nodded: "It's okay, not being jealous is mediocre. I won¡¯t lose anything if I get scolded twice. I¡¯ll keep making money if I want to. It¡¯s just a bunch of mean people. Learn from Feng Xiaogang and just scold them. There is no movie promotion. When the time comes, just do what you need to do and put money in your pocket. By the way, the heroine of "My Sassy Girl" is done??. " "Have you decided on the male lead? You can choose any of our actors here. "Wang Zhonglei began to promote his own artists. Wan Xiaohu shook his head: "I have a basic candidate for the male lead. I think Xia Yu is more suitable. I admire his acting skills and his temperament. " "Is he the male protagonist of "Peep Show"? " "right. " "Have you contacted me? " "We are in contact, don't worry, he is currently filming the TV series "Classic Love", and it will take half a month to finish filming. I will prepare the crew first and spend time on location shooting. After he finishes filming, the preparations will probably be completed. " After chatting with Wang Zhonglei, Wan Xiaohu said goodbye and went back. "Waiting Alone" was shot in order to catch up with the Beijing University Student Film Festival, and "The Butterfly Effect" was shot in order to catch up with the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival. This time, "My" was shot "Sassy Girlfriend", Wan Xiaohu didn't want to be too tired, so he decided to slow down a little and left the matter of contacting the crew to Li Xia. Wan Xiaohu would occasionally meet with Jin Haozhi, who was coming to China for the first time. Let¡¯s talk about the script. During the day, I spent most of my time running around the city looking for suitable places to shoot the movie. At night, I worked with the programmers of the Novel Network. The general framework of the Time Network has been completed for the time being. It includes seven sections, including film review area, movie database, release information, entertainment information, personal space and ranking list TOP250. Of course, these seven sections are currently blank and contain no content at all. All the information cannot be completed by one or a few people. It requires countless manpower. And these manpower will be completed by users who log in to the Time Network. "Mr. Wan, please check if there are any problems. If there are no problems. , will be online at 12 o'clock tonight? "The programmer asked. Wan Xiaohu was browsing the web. Today's Time Network looks really shabby. When the film review section was opened, there were no reviews for half of the movies. When the release information was opened, there was no introduction or ranking list. In the TOP250, all movie positions are blank. However, Wan Xiaohu is full of confidence. As the number of members on the website increases, the website will become more and more complete. ¡°No problem, it will be online at 12 o¡¯clock. Bar. Then, tell Bao Jianfeng to advertise on the novel website and promote Time Network. " "OK. " "By the way, I can edit the entry now. I don't need to wait until 12 o'clock, right? " "sure. "So, Wan Xiaohu clicked on the editing uploader that comes with the website and started editing entries for his two movies.

Overseas, now in theaters. After editing the entry, Wan Xiaohu rated the movie again, five stars for "Waiting Alone" and five stars for "The Butterfly Effect." Then click OK with a smile. The rating system of Time.com refers to IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, and is divided into three rating methods. Generally, registered users can rate stars certified by Time.com. Users, that is, enthusiast users who have published many long film reviews, can use a ten-point scale from 1 to 10. The last one is the film critic rating. The film critic can be a reporter from a major media or a well-known director. , but the boss of a film company can be a celebrity artist, can also be a professional film critic. However, real-name authentication is required before scoring can be given. Scoring is very free, you can use a four-point system, a five-point system, a five-star system, a ten-point system, etc., but there is a passing line. For example, in a 4-point system, 3 points is the passing mark; in a five-star system, three stars is the passing mark. All passing scores are displayed as a color poster, and all failing scores are displayed as a black and white poster. Based on the proportion of passing and failing grades, the quality of a movie is shown. In short, it is a replica of the freshness scores of rotten leaves and tomatoes on the Rotten Tomatoes website. This is called old time scoring, and the result is called brightness. Ten film reviews, five passes, the brightness is 50%, three passes is 30%, nine passes is 90%. The more passes, the higher the brightness, the more successful the movie. "Everything is ready, just waiting to go online!"
