At midnight, the box office results of "Sniper Telephone Booth" released on the first day have been counted.

The result of two million dollars made Xia Tian look a little embarrassed.

You should know that when "Saw" was released in hundreds of theaters, its box office in a single day had already risen to two or three million US dollars. This time, "Sniper Telephone Booth" has a release scale of 2,000 theaters. Logically speaking, it should have at least 10 million US dollars to look like it.

"Hey, I don't know how the media are sarcastic about tomorrow." Xia Tian couldn't help frowning.

He suspected that the box office failure of "Sniper Telephone Booth" was because the media maliciously slandered it and insisted that it was a piece of garbage. The result was that the public was discouraged and did not want to watch this movie.

Now that the box office results are released, they will have something to say tomorrow. At that time, their reports will affect more people, making them less willing to watch "Sniper Telephone Booth". The box office of this movie will be even worse, and it will be more as they wish.

"Damn it, I would have had a media too." Xia Tian said in annoyance.

He has no media in his hands and no open channels for speaking out, so he can only let others say that he can't refute it. But if he has media in his hands, it's different. He can use it to refute news that is unfavorable to him and also promote his own movies.

This incident has become more and more determined to his idea of ​​acquiring the media.

"Brother Tian, ​​what's wrong?" Wang Qixian woke up from his dream when he heard the voice, walked to Xia Tian and said.

"It's nothing, go to bed." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "There will be an audition tomorrow, so you must be fully energetic."

"Well, is the box office performance not ideal?" Wang Qixian asked with concern again.

It's about midnight now, so the box office results should be out.

Xia Tian smiled slightly, "I'm so smart. I can't hide anything from you. Yes, the box office results are a bit unsatisfactory. But it's okay, the cost of that drama is only 10 million US dollars, so it's not difficult to recover the cost."

The movie costing 10 million US dollars is released by Colombia itself, so as long as the box office exceeds 15 million, the cost can be recovered. The money earned, such as overseas box office, videotape revenue, TV station authorization, etc., is even net income. Therefore, summer is still very confident in profits, but it has failed to achieve a stunning effect, which makes him somewhat disappointed.

"Brother Tian, ​​don't be sad. The box office is just a bad time. I think it will definitely increase as the reputation fermentation in the future." Wang Qixian comforted softly.

"Yeah." Xia Tian nodded, and it was not ruled out that this possibility was possible.

There are many such examples in the film industry. When the movie started to be released, the box office performance was poor due to various reasons. However, with the fermentation of reputation, more and more audiences came, making the box office performance of the movie better and better.

For example, the famous "Titanic" did not perform well in the first week of its release. But later, with the reputation fermenting, the box office of this film became better and better. The box office in the first week was only 27 million, the second week had reached 60 million, and the third week reached 70 million... The longest release record in total was 281 days of release.

When the mainland 3D animated film "The Return of the Great Sage" was released, the box office performance was poor because the producers had no money to promote. Then, fans who watched the film spontaneously helped promote it, setting off a wave of "The Return of the Great Sage" on the Internet, which also made the movie achieve a miracle of 950 and 600 million yuan.

Xia Tian thinks that the movie "Sniper Telephone Booth" is also good. If it relies on word of mouth, it should be able to achieve better box office results.

Of course, all this depends on luck. In this world, good movies may not necessarily have good box office. Just like "The Shawshank Redemption", this movie is almost a classic movie that is well-known, but when it was released that year, the box office was only 28 million US dollars. If it weren't for the release of the videotape later, the movie would have been completely forgotten.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, go for a rest." Xia Tian waved his hand to Wang Qixian, and then returned to bed with her.

No matter how worried he is, it is useless, and there is no good solution, so it is better not to think about this. He is going to see Xiao Xiafan tomorrow, so he should have a little rest so that he can't scare his daughter with two panda eyes.

...

The next morning, I took a plane to San Francisco in the summer.

At the newsstand at the airport, he indeed saw the media sarcastic about "Sniper Telephone Booth".

"Columbia Pictures' new film "Sniper Phone Booth" had a box office of only two million dollars on the first day, ranking 15th in the box office rankings, which is really sad!"

"The American people voted with their feet and warned Columbia Pictures not to think about taking shortcuts. The movies made in 16 days are simply shoddy goods, and they deserve the box office of only two million dollars!"

"Xia Tian should understand that this is the United States, not Hong Kong. His approach works in Hong Kong because the Hong Kong people have low requirements. But the American people will not take his approach, so he'd better be honest."

Several media outlets spoke badly, and they said it very badly.

However, several film critics also spoke fairly.

""Sniper Telephone Booth" is a very good film with a compact rhythm, exciting, profound meaning and thought-provoking!"

"John Travolta showed his outstanding acting skills in "Sniper Phone Booth". He finally stopped performing with dance!"

"There is only one scene in the movie, but it is not boring at all. Instead, suspense is endless and endless, making it impossible! You should not miss the best suspense thriller of the year!"

After reading these critics’ articles, Xia Tian felt better.

Then he took a plane to San Francisco and spent a wonderful holiday with Lin Qingxia.

Lin Qingxia also knew about his failure in the box office of the movie, but she was considerate and did not talk about these things, but just talked about the pain of parting with Xia Tian.

"Ah Tian, ​​I'm going to go back to Taiwan in a few days." Lin Qingxia said to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian nodded, "It's good to go back, but unfortunately I can't go back with you this time."

"I know." Lin Qingxia nodded, "Will you go to Taiwan during the Spring Festival?"

"Spring Festival?" Xia Tian was stunned, then said with a smile, "If you want me to go, then I will definitely go."

"Yes." Lin Qingxia nodded when she heard him say this, "Then I'll wait for you at home."
