To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 450 "Flying Star Journey"

Pei Qian hurriedly clicked on the promotional page of the movie to check it out.

Flying Star Journey

Action/Science Fiction/Fantasy 3D IMAX

United States/134 minutes

Released on 2011-03-12

Introduction

On the eve of World War I, Tim (John Stanton), a traumatized former military officer, inadvertently crossed over to a mysterious planet and became involved in the disputes of multiple forces on the planet.Although these forces regard him as a key figure in ending the dispute, and even won the love of the beautiful princess Lynn (Deja Morton), can he really leave the past behind and reverse the fate of this planet?

After reading this introduction, Pei Qian's joyful mood was instantly poured with cold water.

This story doesn't seem very attractive!

But after thinking about it... it seems that the movies made in the United States are all this way. Didn't "Avatar", which was popular all over the world, travel to another planet and have a hot fight with the local indigenous girls?

Well, more or less.

The key is to look at the director and investment!

As long as the director is reliable and the investment is higher, it will definitely be easy for this film to rub "Beautiful Tomorrow" on the ground!

Pei Qian hurriedly checked for more information about the movie.

After reading it, Pei Qian let out a sigh of relief.

Steady!

Director Darryl directed his first animated short film as early as 1988. So far, he has directed many films and won multiple Oscar nominations. In 2005, his next sci-fi animated film won this award again.

The movie "Journey to the Flying Star" is based on a classic science fiction novel published in the United States in 1911. Now it happens to be the 100th anniversary of the original novel. The total investment of the film exceeds 7000 million dollars. The protagonist John Stanton worked hard to complete very rigorous physical training during filming. He lost a full 25 pounds while enduring pain and suffering to complete the filming. He is a model of dedication.

In short, Pei Qian almost read the material 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 generous investment, a famous director, famous actors and a good script, if it is broadcast around the world, it should be no problem to make a total box office of [-] to [-] million dollars, right?

If you do it casually in the country, five or six billion soft sister coins are also appropriate.

And let's forget about Pei Qian. Based on the investment of 7000 million knives, the global box office of this film's box office is [-] to [-] million knives, which can only be regarded as not losing money.

If there is a big explosion, then no matter what, you have to run for a billion!

At that time, the major theaters will work hard to line up the films, and it will be a piece of cake to squeeze out "A Better Tomorrow"?

At present, 31.4% of the film's film schedule has been given to this movie on the first day of theater release. If the next trend is good, then this film schedule will definitely rise!

And the schedule of "A Better Tomorrow" has dropped to less than 15%.

The only thing Pei Qian feels a little regretful about is that the film was released more than half a month late. If it can be released together with "A Better Tomorrow", it will definitely be stable!

But it's 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 really encouraged.

……

……

Saturday, April 3.

Today is the weekend, so he doesn't have to go to work, but for Pei Qian, every weekend starting from today, the task is very heavy!

While eating Moyu takeaway, he checked the reservation status of OTTO E1 mobile phone.

Sure enough, so far, the number of reservations has not reached 5000. This time, at least 4000 units can be suppressed, which is almost the same as Pei Qian's estimate.

On the Internet, this number also caused ridicule by many people.

Because when the OTTO E1 mobile phone launch conference was first launched, it was very lively. The video of the conference was on the digital list of the Elli Island website.

On the day of the press conference, all 1000 units were sold out in an instant, which once created the illusion of high popularity.

Before, many people questioned that this was hunger marketing. Now that deposit payment reservations are open, the number of reservations is less than 5000 units, which is an order of magnitude behind other big-name mobile phone manufacturers who often reserve tens of thousands of units.

As a result, everyone's spray point also changed very naturally.

"OTTO Technology is really a bad move. They should continue to engage in hunger marketing. If they sell it little by little, the popularity of the mobile phone can still be maintained. Now it's good, it's open for sale, and everyone knows how much this mobile phone has. It’s a few pounds, and there are only 5000 people making appointments, isn’t it embarrassing?”

"Even if it's a little fake? It's not shameful to add one more person after the number of pre-orders!"

"Hehe, I think Mr. Chang must be inflated. All the previous 3000 mobile phones were sold out, giving him the illusion that this mobile phone seems to be very popular, so he made a reservation, and it was revealed instantly!"

"When it's out of stock, you talk about hunger marketing. When it's in stock, you say that the phone is not popular enough. The trolls will always be invincible..."

"Hehe, that's the truth. I don't want to ask for more. If this mobile phone can sell [-] units in total, then I will reluctantly admit that it is popular. The key is whether it can? Now a total of [-] units have been sold, and there are [-] reservations. , This has reached the top! Facts have proved that marketing and IQ tax can't get far!"

Seeing these comments, Pei Qian felt much more comfortable, and ate a few more mouthfuls of food.

Especially the last one, which is just and eloquent, completely asserts that OTTO mobile phones are useless, which makes Pei Qian feel comfortable reading it.

The only pity is that this buddy probably doesn't know the market well. In fact, only selling 1000 units has already made Boss Pei 100 or [-] million. Even if the profits are returned to other departments, he has earned more than [-] million.

If [-] units were sold, wouldn't that kill Boss Pei?

Then, Pei Qian glanced 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 [-] copies have been sold in total.

Compared with the previous games, it's a crazy start!

Pei Qian is very happy. The persuasion process he carefully designed is obviously effective, and the effect is remarkable!

Of course, there is no less scolding.

This is also the point of most disputes among players on the Internet.

When "BE QUIET" was released at the beginning, players found that they could not buy it and had to decrypt the ARG first. Many players were so angry that they even left the game behind;

After solving the ARG puzzle for a whole week and finally solved it, many people happily wanted to buy it, only to find out that there are prerequisites!

And this prerequisite even takes nearly an hour, and a scary little game has to be completed, 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, for many people who have never played these two games, they don't want to download them at all, and they don't want to play them at all.

In short, these few pre-conditions have been followed, dissuading a large number of players, and also causing great controversy, which has continued until now.

Some players said that it was Tengda who was gone, let himself go, and made a meaningless publicity, but the result was that it affected the sales of the game, and waited for the game to die suddenly;

Some players also said that the game screens out players through this method, so that those impatient novices can’t enter the game. This can purify the game environment and improve the game experience. It is part of the game’s marketing strategy, and currently Look, very successful.

Pei Qian watched these debates with gusto.

Pei Qian really wants to tell everyone, in fact, what you said is correct!

I really want the game to die suddenly, and I'm really screening players, you guys are talking about the same thing!

Apart from the two types of people who were arguing fiercely, there were some posts that made Pei Qian feel the greatness of the wisdom of the people.

A player named "Super General" posted in detail the strategy 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 coquettish thing is that this poster also researched the ultimate skipping method for passing the final test: Find a piece of paper and dig a hole in it to cover the screen, so that the eyes only need to keep staring at the hole behind the hole. A small piece of the screen will do, and you won't be affected by ghosts around the screen at all.

Originally, it took more than half an hour to try the ultimate test with strong willpower to succeed. After using this skipping method, many people can pass it in one try...

For this post, Pei Qian only has two words in capital letters, admiration!

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 line of sight must scan all corners of the screen throughout the process, instead of just staring at one place.

However, considering that the current game sales are not so good, it is obvious that the current challenge already has a strong persuasion effect, so Pei Qian turned a blind eye to this.

After all, those who can really reach this last step are already a minority of players.

Finally, Pei Qian opened the Gouyan APP to check the box office situation on the first day of "Flying Star Journey".

It was just noon, and the box office of "Flying Star Journey" had already broken 1100 million, and the box office on the first day should be around 2400 million.

Pei Qian couldn't help frowning slightly, it seems that he is not as awesome 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 on Sunday and tomorrow. Isn't it easy to add up to 6000 million in two days?

Famous director + famous actor + big investment + big scene, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to rush, if you don’t easily cut [-]-[-] million box office, how dare you say hello to others?

Pei Qian still remembers that the first-day box office of "A Better Tomorrow" was less than 800 million in half a day, and it was around 1700 million on the first day. The estimated box office of Gouyan APP has reached 2.1 million.

After that, the data of "A Better Tomorrow" is still rising, and now the estimated box office of Gouyan APP has reached 2.3 million.

Pei Qian hurriedly clicked on the estimated box office of "Journey to the Flying Star".

"3.2 million soft sister coins???"

"Such a good film has such a low estimated box office? I don't believe it!"

Pei Qian almost thought that this number was missing a 0.

But after thinking about it, Gouyan APP's box office forecast is just an estimate, not necessarily accurate, especially if it is only based on half-day box office estimates, it is even more inaccurate.

Don't you underestimate "A Better Tomorrow"?

Come on "Flying Star Journey", I am optimistic about you!

Tomorrow, we must use the high box office to slap the Gouyan APP in the face, let it know what it means to see people with a dog's eyes, oh no, the Gouyan app is low!

Pei Qian looked at tomorrow's film schedule again. The film 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 suppression effect on "Beautiful Tomorrow".

Because "Beautiful Tomorrow" has been released for 19 days, and it should be released in about ten days.

Moreover, it is not only the film "Flying Star Journey" that puts pressure on the film schedule of "A Better Tomorrow", there are other films that are being released one after another during this period.

The box office of "A Better Tomorrow" has now dropped to the third place. The top two are "Flying Star Journey" and "The Chaser". The latter is also a new movie released just two days ago. "Tomorrow", but after all, it is a new movie with a high schedule, and the single-day box office can still stabilize "A Better Tomorrow".

Now the daily box office of the three movies are at 2000 million, 800 million and 400 million respectively.

But under the constant squeeze of the previous two films, "A Better Tomorrow" seems to be the twilight of the hero.
