Nanaya had no idea that he was pushing himself into the fire pit.
He drank the milk in his cup in one gulp, acting like a very generous man who would definitely fulfill his promise in the future.
"By the way, Ryan, you just said Zhi called me, didn't he say what was going on?"
A sly smile appeared on Ryan's face, and it seemed that she had wanted Nanaya's promise for a long time.
However, she did not directly state her request, but answered Nanaya's question: "The first round of data is out, wait for me."
Ryan stood up and trotted into the living room.
After a while, Ryan came back with a fax in his hand.
"This is the fax that Ori sent after she knew you were still asleep."
Ryan handed it to Nanaya, pulled over a chair, sat next to him, and congratulated him enthusiastically.
"Congratulations, Nanaya. You succeeded again."
Ryan has been in the film industry for quite some time, so she certainly knows what kind of film results are considered good.
The number on the fax is definitely good news for Nanaya. Good news for Nanaya is also good news for Ryan.
When Nanaya took the fax, the first thing he saw was a bold black number - 17.52 million US dollars!
This is the box office revenue of all advance screenings and midnight premieres of "Prologue" across the United States.
Seeing this number, Nanaya raised his eyebrows.
This result far exceeded his expectations.
In fact, Nanaya himself is well aware that the production of "Prologue" is not perfect.
He did put a lot of effort into making this movie, but as many people said, he kept the "Prologue" to himself in order to have a more grand opening in the future.
Therefore, Nanaya himself estimated that the first round of screenings of "Prologue" should be around 14 million US dollars.
Although the prediction was wrong, Nanaya was still very happy that the box office performance of the midnight show was more than 3 million US dollars more than he expected.
I have said it before, the performance of midnight shows is never determined by the quality of the film but by the number of deep fans.
After all, even in Europe and the United States, not everyone thinks watching movies at midnight is a very normal thing.
At present, it seems that it is not a problem to achieve a first-day performance of more than 30 million US dollars.
The fact that the film grossed over 100 million yuan in the first three days of the weekend is no longer an obstacle for the film.
After receiving the news, Nanaya's first feeling was relaxation.
It's that feeling of stress disappearing instantly and there's real relaxation.
Nanaya has been planning the FGO project for many years, and it is a project that absolutely cannot be allowed to fail.
This time, "Prologue" is off to a good start, so the next few films will be much easier.
With relaxation comes joy. Although the performance of "Prologue" did not exceed that of FZ in previous years, it is also impressive enough.
In the memory of Nanaya, the midnight box office results of this year's "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and "Transformers 3" were far from this result.
As a commercial film, "Prologue" is good enough no matter which company it is released in.
Seeing the unconscious smile on Nanaya's face, Ryan was really happy for Nanaya.
Nanaya put the fax aside, kissed Ryan on the face and said, "Thank you, Ryan."
Ryan tilted his head in confusion: "Why are you thanking me? Isn't this your own achievement?"
"Well~~"
Nanaya laughed, picked up the newspaper again and continued reading.
Due to the printing time of newspapers, these newspapers did not publish the box office data of the midnight show of "Prologue".
But as the first super movie of this summer season, it is also a new project of the popular Fate series.
Naturally, there are many reports about "Prologue", and all major media have spent a lot of space on their entertainment pages to introduce this movie.
Nanaya believed that at this moment, countless people across North America must have received today's newspapers and seen various introductions to "Prologue" on the front page headlines of the entertainment section of the newspapers.
I believe that many people will buy movie tickets to watch "Prologue" because of these reports.
Because most of the comments about "Prologue" are flattering.
For example, the Los Angeles Times gave Prologue a score of 80.
[Nanaya Kiryu is worthy of being the founder of the Fate series. From the "Prologue", we can see that the Fate movie has been perfectly integrated with Nana Kiryu's personal style.]
[The movie "Prologue" can be said to be the best gift for Fate fans who have been waiting for several years. It has everything they want to see.]
Another veteran film review media, Premiere, also gave it a score of 80.
[The Prologue is a perfect start for the new FGO series. All viewers who have watched this movie want to know what will happen next as soon as possible.]
[The last time the audience felt this way was during the Lord of the Rings 1. Unfortunately, after watching Lord of the Rings 1, the audience could read the original novel to know what would happen next, but the original story of the Prologue did not give the audience the opportunity to understand the subsequent story development.]
Even the New York Post, which has always been critical of Washimine's films, gave the film a positive review of 85 points.
However, Nanaya suspected that they gave this point to show goodwill to Washimine.
However, for a media outlet whose reputation has already fallen to the bottom, it is questionable how many people will see this score.
Movie Secret Treasure, which has always given high scores to Nanaya Movie, also gave it a score of 90 this time.
This is how Miss Katsushika commented on her idol's new work in her column.
["Prologue" is a very special summer popcorn movie. For old Fate fans, it is a movie full of feelings. For passers-by and newcomers, it is a good-looking and exciting popcorn movie.]
[There is no doubt that "Prologue" is a must-see movie in this summer. It is the end of the old Fate series and the beginning of the new series.]
It's not just these few newspapers. Basically, most of the media on the market are praising "Prologue".
Of course, it is natural that there will be such one-sided evaluations. Washimine Entertainment's public relations budget is not given for nothing.
Basically, every time a hit movie from a major company is released, any media outlet with some influence will be asked to provide a review.
Is it a good review or a bad review? What is good about it and what is bad about it?
It can be said that the real-time popular film reviews of these major media are all assigned essays, and their content is not determined by themselves at all.
Of course, those big newspapers still have a bottom line.
If a film's preview reputation is too bad, or it suffers a disastrous failure after its large-scale release.
Then no matter how much PR work the film studio does, the newspaper review columns will never give truly favorable reviews.
But this bottom line is very limited. As long as the reputation of the film is good and will not seriously drag down the reputation of the newspaper, these media will have little moral integrity in their own stance and direction.
We are all doing business, who can resist money?
This is why Marvel movies have always received good reviews.
As representatives of industrialized films, Marvel movies can always stay above the baseline and even reach excellence occasionally.
The quality of the movie is there, and Disney has the financial power to pave the way.
Basically, the media reviews for Marvel movies will naturally be excellent.
Today I write that this movie is the best sequel in the Marvel series, and tomorrow I write that the idea of that movie overshadows other super movies.
The movie itself has a good reputation as a commercial film, so you can just brag about it.
But there are too many similar routines and the audience will get tired of them.
We are not fools. If you see the same routine too many times, you will only feel that your IQ is insulted.
Otherwise, why do you only use one routine? Are you looking down on me?
This is also one of the reasons for the emergence of a large number of self-media.
Audiences hope to see comments with personality, rather than just parroting what others say.
But when there are more self-media, another problem will arise.
The influence of self-media comes from its own fans. Therefore, in order to maintain its own fans, those self-media will follow the footsteps of their fans after they become bigger.
When everyone says a movie is good, these self-media will also say it is good, otherwise they will be abandoned by their own fans.
As a result, those originally personalized self-media have become parrots that repeat what others say.
It is absolutely true that history moves in an upward spiral.
However, this kind of thing was still too far away for Nanaya at that time. Self-media had just started in 2011, and it was far from the time for him to worry.
After finishing his meal, Nanaya took a short rest and then went to the Washimine headquarters building.
Ryan stayed in Nanaya's villa. It was rare for her to have time to rest as Shion had always assigned her so much work.
If it weren't for Shion's approval, she really wouldn't have been able to come to see Nanaya yesterday.
Ryan was a little unhappy with Shion's dominance, and she had to find a way to balance that woman.
As the daughter of the Wettin family, being manipulated like this is not her style, Ryan.
But the women around Nanaya now, besides himself and Shion, are only Rin and Sakura.
The other two had already been fooled by Shion and had unconsciously become her followers.
Ryan knew that it was a pipe dream to resist Shion if he was alone.
Not to mention that Shion is now his nominal boss.
"Um..."
Ryan stretched out on the sofa.
"As expected, this matter still needs to be considered carefully. Let's try to deal with the two women from Tohsaka and Shimoya first."
Ryan turned over and picked up the newspapers to read again.
Even though she had already read the reports about "Prologue" once, she still enjoyed reading it a second time.
This is a report praising my man. How can I not read it a few more times?
