Yang Baihe quickly walked to the screen and looked at the numbers on it with confusion.
The figure of 9.17 million tickets, with Yang Baihe's surprise, became 9.18 million tickets.
The increase from hundreds suddenly became tens of thousands.
Ye Qing also walked to the screen. The box office was updated every minute. After the update a few seconds ago, it had remained unchanged, so Ye Qing thought that Yang Baihe might have seen wrongly.
Yang Baihe felt that she didn't, but the sudden increase of ten thousand tickets was really unreasonable.
So the two decided to wait for another minute to refresh.
9.23 million tickets … …
The next minute, the number of movie tickets jumped from fifty thousand.
Ye Qing subconsciously patted the screen with his hand. He felt that the server might have made a mistake. But this kind of low-level mistake shouldn't have happened on the Monster Industries server.
After another minute, the number of movie tickets increased by 110,000.
"Go check what's going on." Ye Qing gently knocked on his forehead. He felt that he had thought of a reason, but he wasn't sure yet.
Yang Baihe asked the technical department to calculate the current large increase in movie ticket purchase information and report back to Ye Qing. She said that these new users were all old users who had already ordered movie tickets. Now they were watching it for the second time!
Second time?
This was a noble treatment that only a few excellent movies could enjoy.
After watching it for the first time, users were still immersed in the plot and couldn't extricate themselves. They simply bought movie tickets again and watched it again.
A truly excellent movie wouldn't be tired of watching it even a few times.
Obviously, Qingyu Media's movie wasn't.
Even if a small number of users intended to watch it for the second time, there was no reason to watch it again within ten minutes after the first movie ended.
At this time, the number of movie tickets for the second time had increased to 300,000.
Movie tickets in the virtual world were different from offline theaters. Users who bought virtual movie tickets could wait for a month after the movie was released and could get the qualification to watch the movie for free forever.
But during the one-month movie release period, users could only watch it once every time they bought a movie ticket.
If they wanted to watch it for the second time, they had to buy a new ticket.
So in theory, if they didn't encounter a particularly memorable movie, users could patiently wait for a month and get the qualification to watch it for free forever.
… …
Was the movie produced by Qingyu Media good?
Good ~
However, it was only limited to good looks.
The cast of this movie was made up of a few B-list young actors that everyone was familiar with. The plot was mainly inspirational and funny. There was no possibility that the three views were incorrect and could mislead users.
If it was released in a traditional cinema, the movie would probably get a rating of 7 to 7: 3. If there was no competition from other blockbusters in the same schedule, it would not be a problem to get a billion yuan box office within a month of release.
Screening in the virtual world …
All the users who had watched the movie said that they had never enjoyed such a shocking movie before. They had never enjoyed a movie in the galaxy, on the clouds, on a spaceship, or in a palace.
Therefore, after the movie ended, many users only calmed down a little and chose to watch it again.
Let's change the setting and watch it again.
Among them, the Galaxy Hall was the most popular.
Nine million five hundred thousand.
Nine million eight hundred thousand.
Ten million …
As of 10: 20 pm, the movie could only be screened twice. The movie's cumulative box office had reached 350 million yuan. It was only 10 million yuan away from the single-day box office record set by Wolf Warrior.
In the virtual film and television department, Yang Baihe was finally willing to look away from the screen. She winked at Ye Qing playfully. "Only 10 million yuan away, boss. I think we can break the miracle of Wolf Warrior."
"I'm hesitating. Should we … use our technical power to increase the box office?"
Ye Qing showed a funny expression. Now he finally understood why so many film and television companies were keen on data fraud.
Because when a movie began to get very close to a box office record, that record would become a sweet fruit that exuded a tempting fragrance, making people eager to pick it.
Of course, this idea was just a thought for Ye Qing. Just as Yang Baihe said, there was still more than an hour left. The possibility of breaking the record was already higher than 80%.
Unfortunately, the two of them miscalculated the percentage of the possibility of breaking the record.
It was not 80%, but 200%.
The box office record of 360 million was broken at 10: 30 pm.
By 11: 00 pm, the number of users who bought the movie tickets had reached 11 million. The total box office was 385 million yuan, exceeding the box office record by 25 million.
At 12: 00 pm, the total box office exceeded 400 million yuan.
In addition to users who chose to watch the movie for the second time, there were also many new viewers.
As long as the real-time ID verification mode of the holographic glasses was turned off, users could pass the holographic glasses to the people around them after buying the movie tickets.
More than nine million holographic glasses users were not alone. They had relatives and friends.
This was the first time they had experienced such a wonderful scene after living for 20 or 30 years. Of course, they had to show off and share it with the people around them.
…
The next day.
Monster Industries' official website put up a banner of 400 million yuan.
At first, there were still many people who didn't understand. When Qingyu Media also put up a banner on their official Weibo to celebrate the single-day box office breaking 400 million yuan, the domestic film and television industry was instantly in an uproar.
400 million …
2017 was the first year of Hua Xia's movies. This year, Hua Xia's monthly movie ticket sales surpassed North America for the first time. This year, Wolf Warrior shocked the world and created one box office miracle after another.
Now, in 2018, the record was broken?
Or was it broken by a virtual movie that no one had ever seen before?
The virtual world was a closed network world that belonged only to Monster Industries. Therefore, no one could check the exact box office of that movie except for Monster Industries and Qingyu Media. Perhaps the tax department could do the same, but they obviously wouldn't join in the fun.
Under the suppression of traditional cinema chains, they had to give up the entire traditional cinema chain and choose the virtual network as the movie release platform. How could they achieve a box office of 400 million yuan?
"This is impossible!"
In the building of Glory Film and Television in Hangzhou, the boss of the company, Pan Dong, was furious at this data.
"How could it be 400 million? Monster Industries just announced the number of users of holographic glasses on their official website yesterday. There are only 9.1 million users."
"Why did it become 11 million people buying tickets to watch the movie at 12: 00 pm?"
"Then the extra two million, is it a ghost?"
"Yes, even if all the users of holographic glasses bought movie tickets, where did the extra two million people come from?" Xinli World's boss, Zao Xinwei, was also in Pan Dong's office.
He wasn't as angry as Pan Dong, but this strange data that couldn't be explained logically made his mind full of question marks.
There was another person in the office. He sat on the sofa and smoked a cigar silently.
"Old Wei, what are you waiting for? Get moving." Pan Dong bumped Wei Zhixiang's arm with dissatisfaction.
Wei Zhixiang put down the cigar, his face a little speechless. "It's only been one day. Wouldn't it be too obvious if we take action?"
"Obvious?"
Boss Pan was so angry that the wrinkles on his forehead trembled. "Monster Industries can shamelessly create a ghost box office. What are we afraid of?"
"As long as no one knows …"
At this point, Boss Pan suddenly trembled and quickly interrupted with fear. "Old Wei, confirm it again. Monster Industries definitely can't find out about this."
"They definitely can't find the tail on the evidence." Wei Zhixiang sneered. "But this kind of thing is well known to everyone."
"It's fine if there's no evidence. Monster Industries isn't a United Nations investigation team. How can they bite people without evidence?"
"Okay, let's end the box office of the virtual theater today."
After that, Wei Zhixiang took out a cell phone from his pocket. After the call was connected, he only said, "Put the things out." Then, he hung up the phone and made an OK gesture to the two people beside him.
The thing released was naturally the clear version of the movie.
Originally, Wei Zhixiang wanted to wait for two days. The movie had a one-month release date, so there was no hurry.
After all, the earlier the clear version of the resources was released, the easier it was for people to suspect them and the easier it was for the entire film and television industry to talk about it.
But now, he couldn't care less.
Once the clear version of the resources was released, users without holographic glasses would inevitably rush to watch it first.
The users of holographic glasses had already finished watching the movie in the virtual theater.
Whether they had holographic glasses or not, everyone had already seen the movie. What was there to talk about? What was there to talk about in the future box office?
The box office on the first day of release exceeded 400 million yuan, breaking the one-day box office miracle created by Wolf Warrior in one fell swoop.
In the next month's release date, they couldn't even recover 100 million yuan in the box office.
