Perfect Life

Since the time entered July, various media in China have begun to focus on "Once Upon a Time", and when the premiere ceremony was held here, various media reports about the film, Interpretation and analysis are overwhelming.

Well now, on Wednesday, July 16th, the movie is really coming.

It is conceivable that countless media are paying close attention to its box office, the real-time viewing feedback on the Internet, and at the same time, the crew that is running the promotion outside the venue.

At least hundreds of media have made various predictions about the film's box office in advance, and when the box office on the first day came out, it turned out that at least more than 90% of the media predicted correctly.

On the first day of landing on the national theater chain, the box office of "Once Upon a Time" broke 30 million!

33.58 million!

Successful first day!

This score is high, but not excessively high.

Considering that this day is on Wednesday and is a working day, the box office on the first day makes people look forward to the performance of this film this weekend.

An aside: The 33.58 million box office on the day is still the same as that of "The Big Shot" not long ago, and it was achieved in the absence of the Oriental Cinema, which occupies a considerable market share in the domestic cinema market.

It is said that the Oriental Media Group held a meeting for more than an hour in order to decide whether to release "Once Upon a Time". It was useless. In the end, Zhou Yanghua decided not to arrange the film.

His cinema, of course, he has the final say.

As a result, when the box office came out on the first day, it is said that Xiong Chengchao looked terribly gloomy!

The next day, with the media's various reports on the first day of the release of "Once Upon a Time", such as the box office, Zhou Baoshan, Thirteen Aunts, and hundreds of audience members from all over the country were showing at the screening. The hall sang "Men Be Self-improvement" in unison, and so on. It seems that even the film and television market that was slightly tepid before and did not conform to the basic rules of the July schedule began to be pulled up by this movie. .

On Thursday, July 17th, "Once Upon a Time in Man" had a box office of 31.44 million!

Countless people are looking forward to it.

Although the first weekend may not really decide the life and death of a movie, but in most cases, it can indeed decide the loss and profit of a movie.

On Friday, July 18, the prime time for two and a half weekends arrived.

On the same day, the box office of "Once Upon a Time" was reported to be 39.19 million.

Saturday, July 19, 47.21 million!

Sunday, July 20, 42.23 million!

The first week of release, five days, the box office was 193.65 million!

Various media, as well as the entire domestic entertainment circle, instantly became excited!

The sequel to "Once Upon a Time" is really strong enough!

Better than the first one!

Because Li Qian has poured cold water on the crew and the company in advance, so fortunately, everyone is happy to see the box office of this first week, but it is not enough to give a higher price. Expectations - although looking at the entire Chinese film box office history, this is already the second highest single-week box office record in history! It is higher than the 182.59 million created by "Big Shot" in its second week of release not long ago, and far surpasses the first part of "Red Sorghum" and "Once Upon a Time". It is currently second only to the 213.42 million created by Qin Wei's "The Door of Life and Death" in the first week of its release last year!

But even so, when interviewed on the way to promote, from director Zhao He, to the hero and heroine Zhou Baoshan and Lu Lingxi, when talking about the expectations for the next box office, on the one hand, they are full of confidence, on the other hand, they all pay special attention to their own. words and deeds.

But at this time, even if Minghu Culture doesn't brag about it, the domestic media also helps to blow it out!

"It's almost a foregone conclusion that the sequel of "Once Upon a Time" surpasses the first one at the box office!"

"The sequel to China's first successful commercial blockbuster!"

"The box office in the first week was nearly 200 million, and "Huang Feihong's Man Becoming Self-improvement" made a stunning start!"

"'Huang Feihong' and Aunt Thirteen laughed and said: 300 million is the start, I hope it will exceed 500 million! Expert: At least 500 million, hopefully 800 million!"

This is only one aspect of it. More importantly, a few days after the release of this sequel film, whether it is a professional film critic or an ordinary audience, their film reviews and after-viewing feelings have been published in newspapers one after another. More than 90% of them are compliments and praises of "Once Upon a Time as a Man" -- and this is what the expert pays close attention to!

As we all know, with the name of the sequel to "Once Upon a Time", with Li Qian's producer and screenwriter as the blessing, and the return of all the original cast, the box office of this film in the first week is definitely not low.

But as the old saying goes, you can tell if a mule or a horse is pulled out.

The box office was very high in the first week, and the films that plunged in the second week, not to mention Hollywood, but also in China. In recent years, it has been one after another, which is really not uncommon.

A movie is really popular only if it continues to sell well!

And what does it depend on for continued sales?

There is no doubt about the quality of the film itself!

Audience reviews and movie reviews, to some extent, represent everyone’s feedback on quality, and this feedback will be reflected directly on the next box office—it’s useless for filmmakers to think they understand movies, and the audience says yes, It is really good! The audience said yes, the box office will be high!

Therefore, the box office thing is a typical layman's judgment!

And "Huang Feihong's Man Becoming Self-improvement" was released for a week, and his various word of mouth summed up:

"This sequel did not disappoint me. It perfectly continued the style of the leader. Five stars for fighting, five stars for grandmaster, five stars for Pork Rong, and five stars for Aunt Thirteen. All five stars are recommended! Must-see this year!"

"In my opinion, this is a sequel film with innovation in succession! The selling points presented in the first film include kung fu, wonderful fights, patriotism, certain jokes, and of course, thirteen Auntie's absolute beauty, in this sequel, is in place, not a single one is absent! Very beautiful!"

"Slightly mediocre sequel, of course, if you just rush to the cinema and enjoy it for 100 minutes, then it's fine, it's a wonderful commercial kung fu film, but if you expect the movie to give you something profound Thinking, I advise you to save it! Although the director (it is said that the screenwriter is the leader himself?) is trying very hard to talk about patriotism, but in my opinion, it is a bit superficial. If I recommend it...let me give it five stars, The extra star is for Aunt Thirteen, it's so beautiful!"

Of course, there are not no criticisms, but none in a hundred.

It can be said that the online reviews of this film are almost unanimously positive.

...

Jinghua Film Company, General Manager's Office.

Holding a stack of last week's box office summary, and various word-of-mouth reviews of "Once Upon a Time in Once Upon a Time" on the Internet and in newspapers, Yuan Ke's expression was somewhat envious and somewhat helpless.

After looking at it for a long time, he shook the information in his hand, threw it on the table, sighed, and said, "It looks like it's going to be a big sale! No one can stop it!"

Zhao Meicheng crossed Erlang's legs beautifully, and was looking at the sixth draft of the script in his hand, with a cigarette still in his mouth, and the smoke rushed up, causing him to narrow his eyes. Hearing this now, he raised his head, he smiled, stretched out his hand to remove the cigarette, and then said, "It's almost 200 million in the first week, it's really his mother's dissatisfaction!"

But after a pause, he smiled stubbornly, "But, doesn't it mean that even the old boy Zhou Yanghua has to stand on Qin Wei's side this time? Think about it, how rare it is that Zhou Yanghua and Hu Fei have pinched more than a dozen times. It’s been twenty years since I was young, but for this “Once Upon a Time”, I have to go hand in hand, grass!”

Yuan Ke smiled and shook his head.

""Smoke in the Desert" was a terrible blow, Lao Du was too embarrassed to come out to meet people recently, and it is said that since "Red Sorghum", Zhou Yanghua's theater chain continued to go wrong, and it was awkward with Minghu. Minghu culture is also tough enough, Qi Jie is stunned and will not give in an inch. For this reason, "Big Shot" is not on the Oriental Cinema, and the sequel to this "Once Upon a Time" is not on the line. Think about it, the most popular movie. The Oriental Cinema Line didn't even catch the soup, how much is it! If not, Zhou Yanghua must be holding fire in his stomach!"

Zhao Meicheng shook the cigarette ash, bounced it off, and reached out to pat it on his trousers. Hearing this, he laughed, "That's right! This fire is raging! So of course, I'm looking forward to the "Golden Terrace" this week. Come on, immediately destroy "Once Upon a Time"! Just rush to this, even if he has been annoying Hu Fei for more than ten years!"

Yuan Ke heard the words and laughed, "Yeah! Although everyone hates each other and has been fighting for so many years, they have come together after all. Although they are old enemies, they are also old acquaintances! It is normal to join forces at a critical time!"

Zhao Meicheng breathed out smoke and said nothing.

For a while, he looked a little out of his mind.

After more than ten years of fighting, it seemed that it suddenly aroused many thoughts in him.

Thinking about it now, after all these years, even though they look at each other and hate each other, they are really like what Lao Yuan said. Although they are old enemies, they are also old acquaintances after all.

At that time, everyone was good at winning the game, and for a time they were known as the three major directors in China, but now, looking at it again, his mother's Du Weiyun just fell, Qin Wei became famous, and he was a step late, and everyone started to grow up. After making money, I am still worried about the script!

And now, the so-called three major directors have become a thing of the past!

In recent years, with the vigorous development of the domestic film market, since the recovery after the market collapse that year, many new and cutting-edge directors have emerged one after another, and they have become famous and sold one by one.

What about Wu Han, Mu Yuanqing, and Lu Ping? Of course, the most famous is Minghu Culture, Li Qian is one, Feng Bicheng is one, and now, Zhao He is also expected to be counted soon.

The most irritating thing is that he is clearly known as the master of comedy in China, and everyone praises him when the film comes out, but his mother's first few films didn't even have a box office of over 300 million, but this Feng Bicheng just came out, actually A small 600 million came directly!

Times seem to have changed!

...

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh.

A feeling of powerlessness suddenly appeared in his heart - he suddenly had an epiphany, and he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: Could it be that I'm getting old?

Damn him, mother, I'm just over fifty, and I'm still too early to be old!

The lower part, **** him. Mother!

Don't say more, let's talk about 500 million first!

This year, there have been several 500 million films, and none of them are my own. If I want to stand up and say that I am a great director in the future, it will be very shameful!

...

"Hey, Lao Zhao, why are you still sighing?"

"what?"

Zhao Meicheng turned around abruptly, and smiled slyly, "I sigh? Is there? Oh, I mean this script, grass, where did you say Li Qian's belly of stories came from? Why are there so many screenwriters, let me get it A good story, why is it so difficult? This, this, this, what he, mother, wrote is bullshit!"

While speaking, he angrily threw the unfinished script on the coffee table.

Yuan Ke heard the words and smiled, but did not pick up.

Anyway, from the script to the shooting to the editing, he listened to Zhao Meicheng and never intervened. Lao Zhao was dissatisfied, and it would be good to ask the screenwriter department to write another draft.

Anyway, there is Lao Zhao to guard it, he can rest assured.

So, after a pause, he was still a little concerned: "This afternoon is the premiere of "Golden Terrace", are you going?"

Zhao Meicheng turned her head when she heard the words, "Me? Of course I won't go!"

After a pause, UU read www. uukanshu.com Erlang's legs cocked up, "Old Qin is so fierce, no one can say whether his "Golden Stage" will rush to a higher level, anyway, from last year, domestic audiences are still very fond of his big scenes At this time, I'm going to stand up and cheer for him? Go to his mother!"

Yuan Ke smiled when he heard the words, and said, "You didn't say it last time, you estimated that the "Golden Terrace" will reach the top of 500 million? Why do you say that again?"

Zhao Meicheng waved his hands indifferently, "Do you believe what Li Qian and the others said? You knew me on the first day?" Then she thought about it and said, "No! I can't go! Not only can I go! ... Hey, I'm with you. Said, Hu Fei sent us an invitation card, he definitely didn't have a good intention! This shows that he is giving up his old hatred to fight the enemy together! But now Lao Qin is strong enough, we can't add more pounds to him!"

After a pause, he rolled his eyes thoughtfully, and said, "No, don't go either, and instead of going, I have to find a way to accept an interview this afternoon to help "Once Upon a Time"!"

Yuan Ke was stunned when she heard the words, and then she smiled bitterly.

At this time, he couldn't help but got up from behind the desk and walked over, waving his hands as he walked, "No, don't! Lao Zhao, at this time, you can honestly film, let's not cause trouble! They fight them. , it's good to play a dog's brain, but let's make movies and make money in a down-to-earth way, we won't get involved in that!"

Zhao Meicheng glanced at him when he heard the words, "You! You are too timid!"

Yuan Ke laughed, "Be careful to make the Wannian Ship!"

It has been stable for so many days, and I feel that my state is a little weak recently. I can't write anything after dawdling, and the update trend is getting late. I ask for a few monthly tickets to cheer me up! You can't go on being decadent, you just crawled out of the abyss of decadence!
