The pre-screening at the Luo Shengdu cinema became Xuan and Aomei's premiere.
They had already watched the movie many times, and even Sister Ao was not afraid.
She looked at the audience in the cinema who were peeing in fear.
After the movie ended, Xuan sent Aomei back to her apartment.
The two of them had only known each other for a month, but they had already become very good friends.
When they were almost there, Sister Ao was considering whether she should…invite him upstairs for a glass of red wine to celebrate.
Just as she was about to speak, Xuan's phone rang.
"Mr. Dane, is there any good news?”
The sudden call from Legendary Pictures must have something to do with the box office on the first day.
As expected, the distribution manager Dan En was a little excited.
"Guess what, thanks to your Social networks planning, the attendance rate on the first day exceeded 75%!”
"So high?" Even Xuan couldn't believe it.
It wasn't even Fu Lian IV, how could there be such a high attendance rate?
"The audience is mainly fans of social media accounts. In the next few days, it would probably be a passerby audience. The attendance rate would definitely be at a normal level.”
Horror movies were a niche genre. Even if they were popular, the attendance rate was at most about 10%.
It was already very popular that the attendance rate could be maintained at 20%.
"Then what about the plan to fully expand?”
"Give us a week. In a week, the movie will be released in all the cinemas in the United States…However, the truth of the movie will definitely be spread. What if the audience doesn't go?”
Now, he mainly relied on the guise of " real events " to attract fans from some social media accounts.
When the truth came out, everyone knew that this was just a horror movie.
Perhaps not many people would be willing to go to the cinema.
Xuan wasn't worried at all.
"As I said before, there is a second step to the plan.”
"Oh right, I almost forgot. I'll organize people to start implementing it tomorrow!”
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
The first phase of the movie was a success.
There were already more than 200,000 fans on social media. They should be able to go to the cinema within a week.
As for the rest of the audience, they would need the second phase of the plan.
Legendary Pictures would send some employees to record the audience's reaction in the theater.
There would definitely be a lot of pissing scenes.
When the time came, these would all be used as material to upload to Short videos websites such as Youtube and Tiktok.
Legendary Pictures would issue a challenge," Do you dare to watch it? Be careful not to be as cowardly as them!"
He used goading to stimulate more audiences to watch the movie in the cinema. Gradually, they used viral marketing to spread the news.
He believed that the box office sales would snowball.
The two of them chatted for about half an hour in the car before hanging up.
At this moment, Sister Ao had already fallen asleep in her seat.
Xuan looked at her with pity. His long eyelashes would occasionally flutter, and his delicate little face made people want to pinch it.
During this period of time, the two of them had been acting as a couple and pretending to be a couple on Social networks.
Xuan was even a little dazed. For a moment, he really thought that he was in a relationship with Aomei.
In his previous life, when he watched The Avengers, the appearance of the Scarlet Witch had stunned him.
At that time, she was a big star, and he was just a nameless assistant director.
Now, he had become the director of Aomei and had become someone close to her.
If it weren't for the fact that he was busy with the movie, Xuan would have gone on a date with her.
Sister Ao woke up with a groan, only to see Xuan staring at her.
"You guys are done chatting."
"I'm sorry, there are still some questions regarding the release and promotion of the film. I've neglected you.”
"I'm fine. I slept quite well beside you.”
Elizabeth Olsen had always been sweet.
"It's getting late. You should hurry up and sleep.”
"Yes, thank you for sending me home."
Sister Ao was still very sleepy, and she was not in the right state to drink.
She secretly made up her mind that once she was done, she would ask Xuan out for a serious date.
"Hurry up and go."
"Bye-bye."
Before parting, the two of them habitually approached each other.
It was originally just a kiss on the cheek, but for some reason, Xuan's kiss landed on her red lips.
When they were filming Paranormal Activity, they had already kissed on the screen.
However, that was a " job requirement ". It was different now.
Sister Ao couldn't help but close her eyes in response.
However, it did not last long. In just an instant, they felt that something was wrong and hurriedly separated.
"Then I…I'll go upstairs. Good night!”
"Good night."
Xuan was stunned for a moment as he watched her run away like a deer. He laughed and started the engine to leave.
Elizabeth Olsen was also looking at his 1967 Impala from the apartment window.
"Chu…I might…"
……
Two days later, even before Legendary Pictures had started promoting Paranormal Activity, more cinemas had already applied to screen Paranormal Activity!
On social media, viewers who had watched the movie were constantly commenting on it.
On Tiktok, there was a small internet celebrity with 300,000 fans who took a video to share his feelings about watching the movie.
"Oh my god! Guys, do you know that I recently watched a…freaking horror movie!”
"After watching it, I didn't turn off the lights for two consecutive days!”
"I, a 220-pound brawny man, was so scared that I couldn't sleep!”
"To be honest, I won't spoil the drama for the time being. I recommend you guys to watch it quickly! Paranormal Activity!"
"I don't even dare to get close to San Diago after reading it! Damn it!"
……
Many netizens shared their movie-watching experiences on Twitter!
"The camera is shaking my brains out. I want to vomit. But I'd rather endure vomiting than watch it!”
"Maica died too tragically, my God! I heard it's true? You scared me to death!"
" I screamed in fear. The entire theater heard it #social-death scene."
"It's not that scary. It's just so-so. I closed my eyes and covered my ears.”
"I fell asleep. I really don't know what you guys have to brag about.”
"I envy the one who is asleep. I want to forget the scene inside now.”
There were many people who recommended the tap water, but there were also people who scolded it.
There were even more people seriously discussing the plot.
"Maica is really dead?"
"Has Katie been possessed since she was young?”
"I finally understand why they used this kind of filming method.”
"The director seems to have an Asian name.”
While reading the comments online, Legendary Pictures also sent a congratulatory message.
"3 million box office earnings! Three million!"
The letters were all capital letters, which showed how excited Manager Dan was.
Including the 1 million yuan pre-sales, the box office sales had already exceeded 3 million yuan in just 3 days! It was still the screening venue!
If Xuan had chosen to accept the 5 million, he would have regretted it already.
From the looks of it, it was at least 50 million.
Fortunately, he knew the potential of the film.
Now, he just had to wait for the theater chains to be fully opened and then wait to count the money!
However, he still miscalculated the growth rate of the box office.
On the third day, the CEO of Legendary Pictures, Joe Derek, personally called to report the good news!
"Chu! Yesterday, one-third of the cinemas had a 100% attendance rate for the midnight screening!”
"The remaining two-thirds have exceeded 80%!”
"The box office sales have increased by more than 50%! And it's still growing!"
"Sigh, I really regret it. I should have tried my best to persuade you to accept that 5 million yuan back then, hahahaha.”
Joe Drake joked.
Although he felt a little regretful, the most important thing was that he had discovered a genius like Xuan!
Wouldn't there be a surprise if she worked with him again in the future?
"Mr. Derek, do you want to consider raising the file and spreading it out?”Xuan teased.
"Of course!" Joe Drake was resolute!
"Starting tomorrow, the second phase of the publicity will begin! It's being promoted to all cinemas in North America!"
