Chapter 749 Roadshow and Box Office Performance
Jiang Caihua and others felt the atmosphere of the roadshow, and secretly sighed that the atmosphere had indeed changed all of a sudden.
Because if you start interacting directly at the roadshow, it will seem a bit dry.
Therefore, the main creative members will basically prepare some words themselves to open up the situation before the interaction begins.
But this time, because Jiang Yuan was present, some of the audience seemed a little less calm. They shouted two or three times in the middle, which interrupted the rhythm a little.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan took the microphone from the side and reminded everyone that it was not yet time for interactive questions.
"Everyone was very enthusiastic during today's roadshow. What was slightly different from the previous few days was that Jiang Yuan came to the scene."
"The entire production of the film, from receiving the invitation to the entire production process, could not have been done without his support."
"From the polishing of the plot to the financial support." When Jiang Yuan appeared on the scene, Jiang Caihua started praising Jiang Yuan profusely.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan took the microphone from the side again and started praising each other with Jiang Caihua.
"I would also like to thank the director of the painting and all the members of the painting studio for using their professional abilities to present this film to everyone."
"I still remember that after we worked together on the MV for Big Fish, we invited each other to work together again."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he began to review the scene when he first discussed the project of "The Return of the Great Sage" with Jiang Caihua.
After chatting for about three to five minutes, the roadshow quickly entered the interactive question-and-answer session.
“I don’t know how everyone feels after watching this movie.”
"If you'd like, please raise your hand and share your thoughts with us, or if you have any suggestions or questions you'd like to give us."
Jiang Yuan was quite familiar with the process of the roadshow. Holding the microphone, he subconsciously said the host's lines.
As soon as he finished speaking, a row of hands were raised at the scene.
The host also began to add, "Audience members who ask questions or interact can get an official poster signed by our main creative members."
After adding this sentence, many hands at the scene were raised even higher.
Some fans even began to eagerly stand up and take the opportunity to ask questions.
"Everyone is very enthusiastic. Why don't you, Jiang Yuan, choose an audience member first?" Jiang Caihua handed the difficult task of selecting people to Jiang Yuan.
After all, many of the audience who raised their hands were basically here for Jiang Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, then looked towards the audience, thought for a while and chose one of them.
"It's the guy in the white shirt in the second row. I was sitting in the first row just now, and I heard you two chatting when the show ended." Jiang Yuan cueed the audience member he had noticed before.
The staff quickly stepped forward and handed the microphone to the selected audience member.
"Hello, Jiang Yuan!" The audience stood up, looking somewhat excited.
"Hello!" Jiang Yuan also looked at the other party and waved to greet him.
"I'm your fan." The audience began to introduce themselves.
"I know. I heard it when the movie ended just now. Do you have any questions or anything to share with everyone?" Jiang Yuan nodded, controlling the rhythm of the interaction.
"The movie is very good." The fan first gave a thumbs up and praised it.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan expressed his gratitude along with Jiang Caihua and others.
"Then... we just listened to the ending song you sang together. It's a very nice song. I wanted to ask if we can hear you sing a short part of it live." After praising the show, the fan also sought benefits for the audience.
As the words fell, the eyes of the other audience members began to become expectant.
"It feels a bit dry to sing a cappella, but if you want to listen, I'll sing a short part." Jiang Yuan looked around at the audience and said, "I'll sing two lines of the chorus."
The scene suddenly became quiet, waiting for Jiang Yuan to start singing.
"The clouds dispersed and the wind did not stop."
Jiang Yuan adjusted himself and began to sing the chorus of the first part of the song in a cappella mode.
Although there was no accompaniment and the on-site equipment was not very suitable for singing, Jiang Yuan still performed very stably.
Originally, I only planned to sing two lines and then end, but everyone at the scene had a focused expression on their faces.
Even Jiang Caihua and others nearby took out their mobile phones and started filming, so Jiang Yuan unknowingly sang the entire chorus before ending the performance.
After singing the chorus of "Empty" a cappella, the first audience member's interaction time ended.
The host seamlessly cueed other audience members again, and immediately another row of hands were raised.
"How about letting the director choose an audience member this time?" Jiang Yuan said, looking at Jiang Caihua.
"Okay, let's find an audience member in the back row." Jiang Caihua chose an audience member in the back row who was about to stand up.
"Hello everyone, this is not the first time I've watched this movie."
"But because I saw there was a road show, I watched it again. In my opinion, this movie is really great. First of all, the character design is different from the regular Tang Monk. Jiang Liuer was designed as a child. This is a point."
Jiang Caihua unintentionally cue an audience member who came prepared.
I even wrote a special film review on my mobile phone, which I read out loud on the spot.
You can tell that the film review was written very carefully, although some parts are a bit official and stiff in the spoken language.
However, Jiang Yuan and others could also hear that the other party's film reviews were mostly praises.
"Thank you, thank you!" After the other party finished reading the movie review on the mobile phone, Jiang Yuan, Jiang Caihua and others also hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
"I hope you can make more excellent works for our audience in the future." The second audience member looked ahead a little before sitting down.
"Our audience member has really prepared a very rich film review. Does anyone else want to share with us?" The host nodded and cueed again.
The audience was still very enthusiastic, fearing that they would not be called.
After all, the roadshow time is limited, so there are usually only a few audience members who can stand up and interact.
The power to select people once again shifted to Jiang Yuan.
"The one in the purple clothes in the middle of the fourth row."
Jiang Yuan looked around the audience and finally chose an audience member who was obviously a fan of his.
In the middle of the fourth row, after hearing Jiang Yuan's pointing, Zhong Jiajia first looked down to see that she was indeed wearing purple clothes, and then looked around to see if there were other audience members wearing purple clothes.
Jiang Yuan and others noticed that she was afraid of being cueed wrongly. "That's right, it's you." Jiang Yuan spoke again, and the staff also put the microphone into Zhong Jiajia's hands at this time.
At this moment, Zhong Jiajia confirmed that it was she who was cueed by Jiang Yuan, and she stood up holding the microphone.
"Hello Jiang Yuan, hello to all the creative members of the painting studio!" After standing up, Zhong Jiajia first greeted the creative members on the scene.
"Hello." Jiang Yuan responded.
The other main creators also responded to Zhong Jiajia's greetings with either smiles or waves.
After saying hello, Zhong Jiajia couldn't help but shut down the phone for a few seconds.
Although I had already thought about the questions I wanted to ask, I forgot a lot of them when I stood up because I was nervous.
"Don't be nervous, just ask if you have any questions." Jiang Yuan said comfortingly.
"Well, I'm also a student majoring in animation."
"After watching the MV of "Big Fish", I have always liked this kind of work, including this time's "The Return of the Great Sage." After taking a deep breath, Zhong Jiajia began to tell the story.
While the other party was talking, Jiang Yuan kept looking at Zhong Jiajia, nodding from time to time, and giving the other party affirmative responses with his eyes.
“Then I hope that one day I can join your team and work together to complete such an excellent work.”
After all, she was still a little nervous, so Zhong Jiajia did not ask any professional questions, but expressed her own vision.
Jiang Yuan looked around at this time, and Jiang Caihua and others also raised their microphones to express encouragement and wishes to Zhong Jiajia.
"Then I would like to ask one more thing, will you continue to produce works of this style in the future?" Before the staff was about to take back the microphone, Zhong Jiajia quickly added another question.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Caihua and others also turned their eyes to Jiang Yuan.
After all, after the collaboration on "The Return of the Great Sage", Jiang Yuan also has shares in the painting studio.
Although she is not directly involved in the management, Jiang Caihua feels that she still needs to consult Jiang Yuan's opinion on the subsequent production direction.
The main reason is that the two books that have been released so far were both submitted by Jiang Yuan.
Under the gaze of the audience, Jiang Yuan calmly raised the microphone and said, "If this style refers to Chinese comics, then we will definitely continue to produce it."
"But we will not limit ourselves to just one style, we will also try to explore in different directions," Jiang Yuan replied.
The host then continued to cue the next audience member, and finally cue seven audience members in total. Seeing that time was running out, the host quickly took control of the situation and went straight to the group photo session.
After taking the photos, Jiang Yuan, Jiang Caihua and others waved goodbye to the audience.
Because this is the first roadshow today, many fans have just learned that Jiang Yuan will participate in the roadshow.
Since they had not had time to get to the cinema, Jiang Yuan and the others left the scene relatively smoothly.
However, after Jiang Yuan appeared at the first roadshow, the news that Jiang Yuan would participate in this roadshow immediately spread on apps such as Yuan Universe.
The fastest response was obviously in the sale of roadshow tickets. Some shows that were originally not full or had poor seats were sold out in an instant.
[Fuck, he actually went to the roadshow. I didn’t believe it when I saw the ticketing information on WeChat Moments.]
[It really came. A sister at the scene even requested the ending song and sang a short chorus [video]]
[Oh my god, what did I miss? Are all the people so quick to react? All the tickets are sold out.]
[Is there anyone kind enough to give me a movie ticket? ]
[What? I'm going to come to the roadshow. Luckily I bought movie tickets the day before so I could support the creators.]
[Will you attend all the sessions today? Where is the next stop? ]
[At the scene, it seems that I have already rushed to the scene with the director and others. The next scene seems to be]
-
The audience sitting in the next roadshow couldn't help but get a little noisy before the movie ended.
Everyone learned about this surprising news while watching the movie.
The degree of surprise far exceeded everyone's expectations, so much so that many viewers were distracted for a moment while watching the movie.
Similarly, outside the cinema, fans who had learned about the roadshow were arriving one after another.
"The rest of the sessions today should be very lively." Sitting in the nanny car on the way to the venue, Jiang Yuan spoke while paying attention to the real-time updates on the Internet.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Caihua glanced at Jiang Yuan's phone screen.
Shown above are on-site photos of the next cinema. Some fans who happen to be near the business district have already occupied the lobby of the cinema, waiting for the arrival of Jiang Yuan and others.
With such appeal in such a short time, Jiang Caihua was a little shocked by Jiang Yuan's offline popularity.
"What's the current real-time box office situation?" Jiang Yuan asked Jiang Caihua curiously after putting away his phone.
Although the word of mouth for previous previews was very good, sometimes word of mouth does not necessarily equal box office performance.
There are also many films that have great reputations but poor box office performance. The box office on the first day of release is the real test.
"Let me take a look." Upon hearing that, Jiang Caihua nervously took out her cell phone and started checking.
However, Jiang Yuan noticed that Jiang Caihua was obviously relieved the moment she saw the screen.
Under Jiang Yuan's curious gaze, Jiang Caihua also began to report the real-time box office results.
"Including the preview period and pre-sales, our total box office has officially exceeded 60 million." Jiang Caihua's voice was a little excited.
After all, this is the first movie released, and it’s the first time to see such impressive box office figures.
"That means today's cumulative box office is about 30 million?" Jiang Yuan said after a brief calculation.
In the first few days of preview, "The Return of the Great Sage" had already earned about 20 million yuan in box office.
"Yes, we are currently ranked second in the box office for the day, and the gap between us and the first place is about 10%," said Jiang Caihua.
Jiang Yuan nodded when he heard this. At the moment, it was indeed a relatively stable result.
The vehicle continued driving and soon arrived at the next cinema.
After learning about the real-time box office results, everyone walked into the cinema in a relatively good state.
