"How's the box office of 'Investiture of the Gods 1' on the Internet?" Baker asked as soon as he got up early the next morning.
Baker is a cinema owner. It stands to reason that he should be indifferent to the box office of the movie on the Internet.
But on the contrary, Baker is extremely concerned about the online box office of "Investiture of the Gods 1".
Because Baker is very smart, many other cinema owners don't know about it. They think that "Investiture of the Gods 1" was released on the Internet because they had no choice but to make a living in the latrine.
But Baker knows very well that online movies actually have unimaginable advantages over cinemas. For example, watching a movie while lying in bed gives you such a pleasant experience.
In addition, the TV sets are getting better and better, and the sound effects are getting better and better. As long as you are not afraid of disturbing people, the feeling of watching a movie in the bedroom is actually not the same as watching a movie in the theater. This is also why cinemas have recently introduced IMAX technology, 3D movies, 4D movies, and so on. They are all to create gimmicks, create a viewing experience that cannot be created in the bedroom, and pull the audience from the bedroom back to the cinema.
At the same time, the cinema chain also does not allow any movie to be released simultaneously on the Internet and in the cinema. All the super blockbusters are bound to the cinema for the premiere, which forces the vast majority of movie lovers to go to the cinema to watch movies.
Originally, this series of measures was maintained quite well. After a period of decline, the movie box office of the United States began to rise again and set new highs step by step.
Especially the movies produced by the Daqian. These days, as long as it is a Daqian movie, no cinema will refuse it, because Daqian movies almost mean high attendance and high box office, making money is certain.
But now, all of this has been ruined by the damn Review Board. Baker can't understand why the members of the Review Board would directly fight with the Daqian over a line that doesn't point out anything.
As a loyal believer, Baker actually feels that there is nothing wrong with that line. Not to mention that it did not point out that this is the X Emperor, even if it was pointed out, it is just a movie.
But the result was the worst. None of the Daqian's movies could be released in theaters. This was devastating news for all the theaters, but the other theater owners felt that the result was not bad. In the future, they might even be able to increase the share of profits for their theaters. It was like a mother pig opening the door for the piglets.
Therefore, Bett could only pray that the premiere of "Investiture of the Gods 1" on the Internet was terrible, so that the Daqian would recognize the reality, apologize to the review board, and return to the cinema. This way, they might really be able to earn some benefits.
Therefore, the outcome would depend on the audience.
According to the rules of Guangying Video, after a movie was released, the data would be updated every 24 hours. At the same time, it could be checked on the rankings.
Every time the data was updated at 8 o 'clock in the morning, so when Beck woke up, he immediately rushed to his computer … In order to see the results as soon as possible, Beck didn't even turn off his computer last night. He left the computer on the leaderboard page, waiting to see the results when he woke up in the morning.
Therefore, Beck clicked on F5, and the page of the Hongmeng browser began to refresh. A movie called "Sweetheart Battle" occupied the first place on the leaderboard. Unsurprisingly, the top of the leaderboard was "Investiture of the Gods 1".
But what Beck really cared about was the box office of "Investiture of the Gods 1". As a result, Beck's expression froze instantly after taking a look.
"100 million … It's only been one day … The box office has broken 100 million!!"
In the end, the first-day box office of "Investiture of the Gods 1" was locked at 117454226 USD, which was nearly 120 million USD.
What kind of concept was this?
First of all, "Investiture of the Gods 1" only took one day to break the previous movie's record of on-demand box office, which took three months to set.
Secondly, because the price of on-demand was only two USD, which was 15% of the cinema box office, the actual total box office created by "Investiture of the Gods 1" was equivalent to 600 million USD.
Oh my God, so far, the first-day box office record in the film market of a certain country was only about 160 million USD. This record was set by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 5".
As a result, "Investiture of the Gods 1" increased the previous record by four times in one go. Filmmakers all over the world would probably be shocked by this result.
"Is this possible?" After the shock, everyone had a big question mark in their hearts.
Many film critics even clamored in their own newspapers, saying that the Daqian was modifying the data for their own face. After all, everyone in the world knew that Guangying Video was one of the Daqian subsidiaries. In order to boost the box office of their own movie, it was natural for the Daqian to order the company to increase the box office!
Therefore, for a while, the news of "Investiture of the Gods 1" s first-day box office fraud was rampant. It was as if everyone was already certain that the results of "Investiture of the Gods 1" were falsified.
But anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was impossible.
Although there was no problem with falsification, the data published by the rankings were not just data. This was also the basis for Guangying Video website and the Daqian movie to calculate the box office share.
If the box office said 120 million, then Guangying Video would have to give 60 million to the Daqian movie.
Of course, some people said that it was a company, so there was nothing to pity about.
But first of all, if you get so much of the box office share, then you have to pay the taxes that you should pay. Moreover, the taxes of the movie were not low. 60 million box office share meant that you have to pay at least 10 million in taxes.
For a mere reputation, was it worth spending 10 million like this?
This was not only related to taxes. Because the box office of the Daqian movie was getting higher and higher, it was gradually about to dominate the entire movie market. In order to get along with business partners, the Daqian would generally bring in funds from other movie companies so that other movie companies could also get a share. This was to improve the relationship between the two parties.
Then, in the remaining 50 million US dollars, it also needed to be distributed to other companies according to the share. This added up to about 20 million US dollars. In other words, the Daqian had to give away 30 million US dollars just to buy a breath of air. This was something that no normal capitalist would do.
Not to mention, in order to gain the trust of the movie companies that released the movie on the website, the backend data of Guangying Video's movies could be checked at any time. It was very easy to falsify the data.
Therefore, real filmmakers believed that the box office of "Investiture of the Gods 1" on the website was indeed 120 million.
