”This movie is amazing! Oh, my God, hundreds of us jumped directly in the movie hall yesterday! Man, that feeling is indescribable and cool! I only know now that I like dancing too, I I am ready to register for a dance class. (Update the fastest to read novels) ”
”Does anyone know when the soundtrack of the movie will be released? I want to buy one! Yeah-some songs
sounds amazing. ”
”I ’m going to the school ’s cinema to watch it again because I found myself in love with Tello
Yi, he is so handsome when he plays basketball! ”
Sitting on a chair, Wang Yang smiled at the computer screen and browsed: The latest comments from fans of the official website of High School Musical. The comments were basically praised. Song and dance, actors, and Eastern High School all became the objects of praise. He I am very satisfied and happy in my heart, which means that students from all over the world have accepted and loved it: High School Musical. Whether or not the movie watching craze can be lifted depends on their word of mouth, and in reality, the film is free to go viral Propaganda.
He held the mouse and dragged it again, and saw a comment that made him smile and frown: ”Yang, baby, I love you, I want to date you, I want to marry you!” Brackets: ”” He shook his head and muttered: ”I am obviously a person behind the camera ...” As a result, now he has become an ”Idol” director, with many fanatic female fans, he should be happy Still helpless?
Of course, the comment: ”High School Musical” is not just student fans, the critics and media who participated in the premiere also gave their own comments.
The latest issue: The Entertainment Edition of the Los Angeles Times is not the headline news, but it also occupies a lot of space. The title they wrote is: ”novel school song and dance movie.” In a detailed comment, they commented on the style of the movie Very novel, including bright lens pictures, simple and beautiful stories, and singing and dancing that are integrated into the campus environment and life, these aspects deserve attention.
”This movie is not as bad as everyone had imagined, it is not bad at all; for a 19-year-old director, it is a very good movie.” Although there is no explicit statement in the newspaper, its subtext is, : The results of High School Musical will make everyone look sideways.
Relative to: The Los Angeles Times ’conservativeness: The California Film News’ attitude changed a lot. They had questioned Wang Yang many times before, saying that he was “hot-headed and blindly confident”. Make up for the previous mistakes: ”This movie is beyond expectation. I believe that before watching the movie, many people will not think that it is so good! It has a magical power that allows young people to dance, sing and enjoy. Unleash your youthful energy. The nineteen-year-old director knows very well what a good campus song and dance film needs, and he has done it and done a great job. ”
”In this movie, he proved to us his screenwriting, directing, and production skills, 'I'm not just a dv kid, I also play film movies. To describe him with boundless prospects is already a bit Pale, maybe we can look forward to more, quietly see what he can achieve! ”
: Chicago Sun Search commented a bit on the run: ”Is Miracle Young Atonement? His: Ghost Record” scared too many people, and a poor little girl was scared to death, thank God she still has Live well, but if she leaves a shadow, she can go to watch this: High School Musical, youthful sunshine, positive. This is a bit incredible, this is really a horror movie with 301 million The box office director's work? ”
Some people praised and some criticized. Kevin Thomas, who once summed up the evil words in ”The Ghost Record”, is currently a free film critic. A gossip tabloid published his comment: ”I have not watched this movie because It was only screened in the campus cinema, and I obviously left the campus early. But it is conceivable that this will be a new disaster, a child director trying hard to get the story of candy, he will use the kind of disgusting dead shake Camera? Stop kidding! ”
But apparently Kevin Thomas was thrown aside, he wanted to get the candy aunt, shouted loudly, but no one ignored it.
”High School Musical” the box office results on the first day, the Flame Film Company got it in the afternoon. There were 500 schools participating in the first week of screening. On average, each school has 300 seats, and the fare is uniformly 40%. 3, q US dollars for a movie ticket, played two times a day, and the overall attendance rate of two games last night, actually reached 75% and received 877,500 box office!

The production cost of the movie is 8 million, the cost of the propaganda is 10 million, and the cost of copying and transportation is also expected to cost more than zd million, which means that the total cost has reached 10,000, which means that the total box office must receive at least 10,000 yuan in order to After paying the tax, recover the cost. In fact, for Wang Yang, this is already a net worth of 23, and his generosity has also been questioned by the media before: ”Is this young man amazingly amazing or stupid?”
877,500 and 50 million are naturally very different, but be aware that the results for this day were received at the campus cinema, and they are 40% off the fare! Look at the attendance and response ”The potential of this movie It seems no worse than: Ghost Record.
The box office results on the second day of the movie further confirmed its potential. The attendance rate of the first screening on the second day reached an incredible 100% in the second! This is the campus cinema! But if those are stunned by this People, know: The whole propaganda plan before and after ”High School Musical”, he will not be surprised, the viral marketing online and offline, is to harvest the results at this moment.
The schools that participated in the premiere show were all overwhelming: the posters of ”High School Dance” have also been bombarded by the festival ”Come to Dance” for nearly two months. Once the students who watched the first show were full of praise, a domino effect would be formed, and the whole school would boil. Every student would be curious and there was a lot of people who went to watch movies with interest.
The two screenings on the second day received a total of 1.0822 million box offices, and together with the more than 10,000 box offices of the Victoria University's electromechanical theaters, the total box office in two days reached l96.72 million! At this time, the week of April 23-29 also ended , ”High School Musical” ranked 11th in the North American weekly box office list, relying on 500 campus cinemas, 1 city cinema, and two old time; and: ”Matrix” once again won the weekly list champion.
”Jiang, many theater companies have started to contact us.” On the phone, Mark Sloan
The special laugh sounds sinister.
Forget about them for the time being, the momentum of the movie is so good now, we will only have more and more chips. After the second week of screening, whoever has the best conditions will cooperate with whom. ”He will not change his plan to show at the campus cinema for two weeks. This is to build momentum and cultivate a sense of hunger in the market. This is a new bomb that will only detonate on May 14.”
”Yes, I think so too, my boss.” Mark Slanter laughed a few words, he had reason to be happy, Wang Yang had already told him, if: High School Dance was a big success, After fully proving his ability, he can become a partner of the company,
On April 30th, a new week began, and new movies also started to be released. Mo Ji Fox launched: The Sky Trap. There were 14 screening theaters in the first week; and Sony and Columbia had high hopes: ”Xianghuzhihu”, the film ultimately spent 10,000 yuan in production.

It will recover the cost, so it has reached 1611 theaters in the first week.
: High School Musical is still screened in those 500 schools, and will switch to another 500 schools next week. Looking at the hot discussions on the Internet and asking how exciting this movie is, many students were tempted to be very tickled, they went to the participating schools to watch, but the problem now is that those schools themselves are only daily After two games, no one can sit down.
As the only non-campus theater to be screened, the Vitec projection electromechanical theater was crowded with students at this time, which was more crowded than when the Ghost Story was the hottest. At that time, there were 5 theaters in Los Angeles. Only this one.
”Please, can't you open a few more movie theaters?” In the ticket office, the students who couldn't buy tickets were all dissatisfied, and they all roared, glaring at the cinema boss as if he was an enemy.
A blond male white high school student stood at the front and scolded: ”Boss, is your granny kicked by a donkey? Why don't you discuss with Flame Film? We want to see: High School Dance!”
The boss is a middle-aged white man with some baldness, and his body is fat and fat. He looked at the students who supported him and persuaded: ”Hey, boys and girls, you can watch other movies first! For example: steal ”The Trap of the Sky” and ”The Hand of Leisure” are all newly released films. Wow, it's beautiful! ”If he can, why wouldn't he show it: High School Musical”? It's just that a week's screening contract has been finalized, and besides, Flame Films has not agreed to his request for an additional screening room.
”: Leisure hand”? Oh, please! What horror movie do you watch now? ”The blond white boy with a funny expression on his face shouted back,” My friend, will you watch it? ” They shook their heads and shook their heads: ”!” A girl standing next to the poster wall looked at the poster with disdain: ”The Hand of Leisure” and said: ”It's a mess, I won't watch it! Look at this actor, I'm sick, He could n’t compare with one finger of Troy! God, Troy is so handsome! ”Another beautiful white girl shouted,“ I ’m here to support Yang! He is my idol! ”
