Chapter 530: Heaven-Defying Box Office Shocks the Entire Web

~5 min read 849 words

After countless calls, it finally emerges.

Amidst the massive online frenzy.

"Ne Zha: The Demon Child's Descent" is finally set for release!

Because Su Chen's personal attention is simply too high.

Even though animated films are relatively niche.

This film still garnered extremely high attention.

Especially recently, when Su Chen and Yang Mi officially announced they have a daughter.

This work was crafted for his daughter.

It further cemented Su Chen's image as a good father.

Pushing the film's heat to the very forefront?

On Maoyan, the number of people wanting to see it has surpassed 12 million.

Various related posts and videos have also emerged endlessly.

"I'm torn on whether to watch this animated film. Honestly, I never thought in my life I'd feel the urge to spend money at a cinema to watch an animation."

"Produced by the teacher, an Absolute masterpiece! Not to mention it's a film gifted to his daughter. It feels like a bombshell; I'm going first!"

"The teacher never disappoints me. Hesitating for even a second is disrespect to the teacher. Buy tickets! Go!"

"I feel this film's box office might not be low; could it hit seven or eight hundred million?"

"An animated film taking such high box office, the teacher will absolutely go super god."

"The teacher is the ceiling of the Realm of spoiling children. When can I be as extravagant as him, gifting my own daughter a film? I only hate my own incompetence."

"Upstairs, don't blame yourself for incompetence yet; go have a daughter first."

"Shrimp killing the pig's heart?"

………

Some so-called authoritative institutions, experts, big V bloggers, and marketing accounts.

All made predictions regarding the content of "Ne Zha: The Demon Child's Descent" and its final box office.

Some played it safe.

Predicting this animated film would have a box office of around 600 million.

After all, the animated film market is too small.

Even if Su Chen is heaven-defying and can greatly raise the box office ceiling.

The mainstream view still holds that this film's box office ceiling is around 600 million.

Some, to grab attention, gave bold predictions.

Believing this film's box office could reach around 1 billion.

If they guessed right.

They would enjoy very high heat on the internet.

Others pursued another extreme.

Feeling this film would be Su Chen's first Waterloo in his career, not exceeding 300 million.

Various public opinion viewpoints caused a huge uproar.

This film is released on September 1st.

That is, one month before the National Day slot.

So there aren't many competing works.

Nor anything particularly outstanding.

After all, most good works are waiting for the National Day slot to rake in money.

No one would release at this time.

A film's release time is very important.

If lucky and the release time is chosen correctly.

It can add quite a bit to the box office.

For example, the previous life's "Hi, Li Huanying,"

Happened to coincide with the end of the pandemic, releasing during a phase where people craved wild consumption.

Directly snatched over 5 billion in box office.

Actually, this film was only worth 500 million, or even less.

Some other films, by riding the heat of popular slots like the Spring Festival or National Day, earned a lot of box office.

And some films, to avoid competition.

Deliberately avoided these popular slots.

Instead, due to low competitive pressure, they raked in a fortune.

Overall.

A film's box office high or low.

Depends most on quality and reputation.

Then comes the box office appeal of actors and directors.

After that comes promotional intensity, and slot selection, and so on.

Su Chen now bears the title of Godfather of Domestic Films; his halo is too dazzling.

So any of his films.

Will inevitably attract countless gazes.

This caused "Ne Zha: The Demon Child Descends" to be scorching hot in its early release.

Moreover, most works were preparing to make money during the National Day season.

There were no competitors.

This resulted in audiences across the nation having no good films to watch.

They could only focus their attention on this animated film.

Most importantly.

Before Su Chen obtained the system and created films.

This world suffered from a lack of cultural and entertainment, with few good works.

The film consumption market was quite bleak.

Audiences had little confidence in films.

The box office record was just over 1 billion yuan set by "Monster Hunt".

Ever since Su Chen burst onto the scene.

He launched blockbuster works like "Detective Chinatown" and "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

As if he had thrown several blockbuster bombs into the bleak film consumption market?

Instantly, everything became fiery hot.

More and more audiences were willing to trust domestic films.

Willing to spend money to enter cinemas for consumption.

This caused the foundation of the film consumption market to rise significantly.

Stocks of many film companies were soaring.

Investors were also becoming increasingly confident in the film market.

Good works were becoming more and more numerous.

Forming a virtuous cycle.

This is the biggest reason Su Chen could be titled "Godfather of Cinema".
