The box office on Sunday was 4800 million, breaking the single-day box office record on Saturday.

The single-day box office record was brought to 4800 million.

The industry was speechless, this result was too horrific!

The single-day box office is enough to rival the total box office of the domestic film "City of Sadness", which ranked sixth in the year.

terror!
Horror!
Countless people in the industry gasped!
Not only did it stand out from the crowd, it also directly drove the overall market.

On December 12, the single-day market performance broke the historical high, reaching 23 million in a single day.

One movie drives the whole market up, and everything goes up!

It directly led to a reversal in the prices of "The Warlords" and "Assembly".

"Happy Birthday 2" has not stopped and is moving forward!

On the 24th.

The box office on Monday was 2686 million.

On the 25th.

The box office on Tuesday was 2376 million.

It set a record for the fastest box office of 200 million in history, without distinguishing between domestic and imported films.

It is also the sixth movie to break the 1 million mark after Happy Birthday , The Promise (accurately reported by the media, but actually a little off), The Stone, Curse of the Golden Flower, and The Grand Prix.

Four of them were produced by Locomotive Films.

It is a well-deserved leader in the film industry and is 100% genuine.

"Happy Birthday 2" continues to move forward.

On the 26th, the box office on Wednesday was 2034 million.

On the 27th, Thursday's box office was 1860 million, falling below million for the first time.

Set the record for the fastest box office revenue exceeding 300 million!

12 month 31 day.

Shen Santong reunited with the crew and returned to BJ, where they held a celebration banquet.

It is also a New Year’s Eve event, which further stimulates the box office.

"Happy Birthday 2" is a devastating success, sweeping away all the movies in the same period!
"10, 9, 83, 2, 1!"

To celebrate the New Year together, Shen Santong led a group of main creators in the countdown.

It's 2008!

Under the dim light, many female stars crowded over, and one of them grabbed his belt, which was too proactive.

The charm of success is too great!

Shen Santong couldn't tell who was taking advantage of him and quickly ran away.

balcony.

The sky is gray and the air quality in BJ is really not very good at this time.

Shen Santong and Yu Dong talked about the box office: "This result is beyond my expectation. I hoped that the box office could exceed 400 million."

Shen Santong has been very calm and cautious all along.

"Happy Birthday 2" is not a blockbuster and is not groundbreaking.

I really didn’t expect it to reach 300 million so quickly.

Yu Dong praised: "Director Shen, your plays are groundbreaking in nature. You entertain the audience, which is different from ordinary directors."

Yu Dong is willing to be Shen Santong's lackey, he is so awesome.

Really help him make money!
"The Sun Also Rises" announced that it had grossed nearly 30 million.

In fact, it is less than 20 million, 19 million.

Yu Dong wanted to kill Jiang Wen, it was such a rip-off. It was not as good as following Shen Santong, it was like taking off.

Shen Santong asked curiously, "What's the difference between me and other directors?"

He would sum up his experience with each play, and some mistakes would be made again, or some lessons would be forgotten as the project progressed.

But overall, summarizing experience is more beneficial.

Yu Dong had done his homework privately and knew that Shen Santong had always been calm, so he had to flatter him with substance: "Our current directors disdain to please the audience, and their minds are already fixed."

Shen Santong said: "No need to please, I have a teaching position, a job at a film studio, and various part-time jobs, I have a high status and a good income."

"The audience only earns two to three thousand a month, they don't care."

208w is not something that only exists in later generations. Those who are interested in art come from all different families.

Especially in the film industry, the relationships behind it are intricate and complex.

Even though Zhang Yimou is a "farmer", his family is not bad at all and is better than most families.

It is simply torture for these people to share the same fate as ordinary people.

Yu Dong avoided the topic. These people include academic authorities: "It's just that directors who are willing to please the audience also feel awkward in their hearts."

"Feng Xiaogang has the mentality of 'I am trying to please you, so you should be grateful.'"

"After he became famous, he no longer wanted to make comedy films. He pursued art and depth."

Shen Sandong said: "After "Big Bowl", the change started from "Cell Phone". "A World Without Thieves", "The Banquet" and "Assembly" are indeed that he is unwilling to do Feng-style comedy, nor is he willing to dig deep."

"Our film theory, academia, and media have intentionally or unintentionally belittled comedy, causing comedy practitioners to bear moral pressure."

"In the final analysis, I don't want to dance with the audience, or to put it more seriously, go against the public opinion."

"Comedy makes the audience laugh. The more this happens, the more I want to belittle you and exclude you in academia, art, and awards."

Even in later times when box office is king and the film market is extremely developed, this ridiculous theory still holds true.

Shen Teng is unwilling to act in comedies.

The play "Catching Dolls" wants to get to the heart of something very deep.

Lu Chuan criticized the film as a low-quality, highly alkaline comedy and invented a ridiculous word.

Why should comedy movies be at the bottom of the contempt chain?

Who is putting pressure on comedy film practitioners and who is creating this stereotype?
Who doesn’t want to make the audience laugh? Who can’t stand seeing the audience happy?
From another perspective, why can't comedy movies that make audiences laugh be high-end?

This is the standard issue.

The standards are not in the hands of the audience, not in the hands of the vast majority of the audience.

In the hands of another group of people.

If the standards are in the hands of ordinary audiences, comedy movies are more high-end than reality-themed movies.

These people are not just rejecting comedies. So what if countless practitioners benefited from "Wolf Warrior 2", but "The Wandering Earth" also promoted industry progress, made the process more scientific, and took special effects to a higher level?
I still don't like it. After all, it's not a comedy issue and has nothing to do with the genre.

If you are not a disciple or not in this circle, it is neither good nor bad.

This is another topic that Yu Dong is not good at touching. Yu Dong said: "Ning Hao is the same. He has to prove himself in "Stone". With your control, Director Shen, the edge and black color are greatly reduced, so that the box office can exceed 400 million."

"Ning Hao did it himself in 'Racing', and there are some laughs, but it's more of a narrative trick."

"If nothing unexpected happens, his next movie will not be a Ning-style comedy. It will most likely be a movie that is not a comedy at all."

Shen Santong nodded secretly, Yu Dong was indeed a capable person.

Yu Dong began to brag: "Director Shen, you are the only one who is transparent and bright, without any entanglement or self-absorption, and wraps your own ideas in the movie."

"You will not be affected by the chaotic atmosphere and insist on making your own movies, so the audience will support you."

Yu Dong's words touched his heart. Shen Santong said modestly: "I am nothing, just a spectator. I can only say that I have a basic sense of gratitude."

The success of “Happy Birthday 2” is inseparable from the support of the audience.

In later generations, a large number of audiences watched "The Wandering Earth" 1 and 2, and many people who did not go to the cinema were just waiting for the third part.

Shen Santong thought from another perspective that the reason why the box office of Nanjing! Nanjing! exceeded 100 million yuan was that the audience appreciated its advantages.

Shen Santong also came back from the future. He was very angry about all the weird operations and paid attention to many details.

The audience is in a very relaxed state of mind when it comes to solving the issue of whether or not they have it.

Yes, it depends on the advantages.

Only when the total amount is saturated will the requirements become higher and higher.

At the end of the day, Chinese people are very liberal, tolerant and not that sensitive.

Shen Santong said with emotion: "Our audience is so kind. As long as we respect them a little, they will give us back."

Yu Dong said: "You are still better. Other directors won't think much of it. They will only think that your success is due to you."
