Due to the subject matter, major forecasting agencies were not optimistic about the box office of "The Rose Thorn" before the film was officially released.

In their view, an art film with a running time of more than two hours would hardly see an increase in box office performance even with the publicity gimmick of the Berlin Film Queen.

Even if the first-day box office is high now, it only means that Su Lingxi's box office appeal has not declined due to the subject matter - after all, she is very popular. Although she was not the only one who took in the 10 billion box office of "Red Careerist" last year, it also indirectly increased her fan base, and her popularity and appeal have risen to a new level.

In this case, it would surprise them if the movie fails to make even 10 million on the first day.

As for those dazzling positive film reviews and praises... there is no doubt that most of them were written by Su Lingxi's fans.

No matter how arrogant those experts who predicted the box office looked, after the premiere, the confidence of the theaters in this film was greatly strengthened, and some people even took the initiative to contact the film producer Yuexing Production to increase the number of screenings.

However, the production team of Yuexing is very cautious about the screening ratio: on the one hand, because "The Rose Thorn" is an art film with a limited audience, it is not suitable for large-scale release; on the other hand, more screenings are certainly conducive to box office revenue, but it is also easy to attract bad reviews from non-audiences, leading to a collapse of word of mouth.

Now is the Internet age, and negative public opinion often ferments extremely quickly. Once the reputation of a movie cannot be protected, the reputation of both the director and the actors will be affected.

Therefore, maintaining word of mouth is the top priority of publicity and promotion work at this stage.

As a big fan, Xie Jiali understands the considerations behind various decisions better than other ordinary fans.

Although she understood it, deep down she still hoped that Su Lingxi could achieve better box office results this time than last time.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Su Lingxi's performance in "The Rose Thorn" is stunning and she has made considerable progress compared to before.

Of course, this does not mean that Su Lingxi did not play Tong Yan well, but because the character of Ge Cailing is more complex and three-dimensional than all the roles she has played before, with a more multi-faceted charm, which also leaves more room for the actor to perform.

This is also why performance-based films have historically been more likely to win awards.

As a die-hard fan who has watched every work of Su Lingxi, Xie Jiali feels this particularly deeply.

Compared to Tong Yan, the role of Ge Cailing can present the actor's acting skills to the audience more intuitively, making people feel at first glance: Wow, this actor acts so well.

Even after more than ten hours, when she recalled those highlights in the movie, Xie Jiali couldn't help but feel her heart pounding with excitement.

She was too excited and suffered from jet lag - she suffered from insomnia again.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting time, Xie Jiali simply gave up sleeping and sat down directly in front of the computer.

It was 1:30 in the morning of the next day. Xie Jiali clicked on the section of the group dedicated to discussing movies, and she estimated that the first day box office results of "The Rose Thorn" should have been released.

As expected, when I opened the petal group, nine out of ten posts with red pages were discussing "The Rose Thorn".

[Original poster: Let’s discuss this. Is Su Lingxi’s traffic fake? The first-day box office of “The Rose Thorn” plus pre-sale tickets only amounted to more than 20 million.]

[1L: She is the most fake traffic star among the 00 flowers. Lingsi also engages in false propaganda everywhere every day.]

【2L: Brother, why don’t you open your eyes and see how cold the movie market was two days ago? The daily box office didn’t break million for a whole week, it was so cold that it was almost frozen... But as soon as The Rose Thorn was released, the box office rose to more than million. Apart from Sister Su, is there any other popular actress who can drive the movie market by herself? 】

[3L: Uh, the two films "Dawn of Darkness" and "Bottle Girl" were directly ignored by Lingsi again]

[4L: The data-blind person above, please stop embarrassing yourself. The box office share of these two films is far lower than their screening share, and it has been upside down for several days in a row. Are you still lying here with your eyes open? ]

[5L: Hey, I opened the website and saw that except for "The Rose Thorn", all other films released during the same period were upside down. Some people are going to be so angry that they will die.]

[6L: Lingsi is showing off her superiority by stepping on a new director's movie. This is really a low-level quality.]

[7L: Lingsi's jumping up and down here can't change the fact that she is also a waste. The pre-sale only reached million. She is a waste among wastes. She has been praised for a month as the best actress in Berlin, but now she has been easily defeated by a second-tier male traffic star.]

[8L: You are such a bunch of crazy people in this building... Do you know what it means to have an art film with a box office of over million on the first day? Are you here to criticize me? Your most important task now is to get into junior high school.]

[9L: First of all, Sister Su’s film was made for awards, and box office is not as important as word of mouth. Secondly, this box office performance is better than 80% of art films, and it was released during a cold period. Some people should stop hating her too much, it’s really embarrassing to hate her so much that you are talking nonsense here]

[10L: Does Lingsi have a group to control reviews? Why do they always come so quickly? ]

[11L: No matter how fast you control it, it can't change the fact that Su Lingxi's new movie is about to fail and lose money. This is the blessing that Lingsi brags about every day.]

……

After quickly browsing through several high-profile posts in the group, Xie Jiali frowned and closed the forum page in a bad mood.

If it were in the past, she would definitely present data and reason frantically, and engage in verbal battles with those haters whose IDs were very familiar in the post.

But now she was not in the mood to argue, she just wanted to know the relevant data urgently.

After visiting several well-known box office websites, Xie Jiali immediately browsed the data reports on the websites.

"On the first day of release, the total number of screenings was 10.7, the total number of people was 82.4, and the total box office was 2825.1 million..." After taking a quick look at the first day's box office and data, Xie Jiali continued to look down at the website's long-term box office forecast, "It is predicted that the box office on March 3 will be 15 million, and the total box office will be 1507.6 million..."

Xie Jiali's heart sank, and she looked through the predictions on several websites, and the box office figures were almost the same.

In the end, her face involuntarily turned ugly: According to these people's predictions, the box office of "The Rose Thorn" would continue to decline from the second day.

If the final total box office is really only 2 million, I'm afraid this movie will indeed lose money.

After all, most of the scenes in "The Rose Thorn" were shot on location, and even the luxury goods are mostly real. The shooting cost plus the copyright fees and publicity and promotion costs are definitely more than 2 million.
