Chapter 81 Box Office
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!
This sentence was published in Guangming Daily, which triggered a great discussion on truth. Is the "two whatevers" the truth or "practice is the truth"?
Then, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, Grandpa Deng came to the stage, swept the six worlds, and wrote eight deserts, all the people were in love with each other and respected their virtues!
Since then, we have entered the right direction of development!
Is it the only criterion for testing the success of movies in the movie market?
Is this sentence valid?
Obviously it is not true!
Art is usually a matter of high or low quality. Judging a work of art requires professional knowledge and artistic cultivation, and time-consuming precipitation, and cannot be determined by just box office.
But if you change this sentence to another title: evaluating commercial films as unsuccessful, the box office is the biggest basis.
That's very reasonable!
"Oriental Unbeaten" is of course a commercial film. Otherwise, Xu Huida could transform into the direction of Dongfang Unbeaten's mental journey. For example, what kind of person is a man who is willing to castrate himself for the sake of the world?
Or discuss whether Linghu Chong, who is thinking about women, is a scumbag when he doesn't drink.
Using Rouba as the starring actor and using Auntie Xu to paranoidly use Aunt Lin, in addition to the real thoughts in her heart, it is more important to be a purpose and novel!
The audience will look at your work with a scrutiny. If the filming is good, they will give you high scores.
Xu Hui chose "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" in addition to his own preferences, he also looked forward to the box office.
Once the box office is successful and influence is played with Jin Yong's IP, then you can launch other projects immediately.
Many industry experts say: The production of movies must be based on art as the core, the market is popular with IP, and the box office first production method can only obtain short-term benefits, which is bound to be of no use for the long-term development of movies.
So is the "Marvel Universe" centered on art?
The pursuit of commercial films should be to maximize profitability.
...
"We all understand what you said, but Linghu Chong's image is really not likable!"
"That's right, I've become a scumbag!"
"Don't think that you played Linghu Chong, we will feel very good!"
Fans are not very convinced. In addition to subversion of the original work, many people are also confused about the portrayal of characters.
Especially the plot: Linghu Chong was fooled by a woman, but his brothers encountered a disaster. This plot really made it difficult for the audience to accept.
Moreover, Linghu Chong's situation is too small, even worse than Ren Woxing. When others are not crazy, they at least think about revenge and the country!
In response, Pao Hui explained: "In fact, Linghu Chong is just a green leaf in this work, and the protagonist is Dongfang Bubai. If Linghu Chong is not a little scum, Dongfang Bubai will not make everyone sympathize! Linghu Chong and Dongfang Bubai, in the end, one only cares whether I really slept with you, while the other only cares whether you can remember me. This is the difference between Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong, and it is also the difference between men and women."
"Boss, don't be so direct!"
"We have a traitor!"
“…”
Fans immediately responded enthusiastically.
Nowadays, more propaganda positions have been transferred to self-media such as Weibo. Huiwen Company does not need special public relations at all. Immediately, a bunch of push news quoted Xu Hui about "Oriental Invincible"...
In fact, many times, the influence of a movie is really not related to reputation.
"The Unbeaten in the East" has always maintained a reputation of around 8 points. People who like it especially like it, and people who hate it directly sneer at it, saying that this is a thunder drama!
But box office and influence directly dominate the box office market!
Since its first day of release, the single-day box office of "Oriental Unbeaten" has remained above 100 million, and the highest single-day box office has almost exceeded 200 million!
By the way, the box office of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" has also improved to a certain extent!
So, we saw a very novel situation. The top two in the box office rankings are actually "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer"!
In addition to "The Unbeaten of the East", the movies released on July 4 also include Adu's "Blind Detective"...
Adu has made a lot of movies in recent years, but unfortunately the quality is worrying. Even works like "High Altitude Love 2" can be made to fool people!
This time, I gathered with King Liu, Zheng Xiuwen, probably because I wanted to recruit the old subordinate Yan Luo.
As we all know, every time Adu asks Liu Tianwang to shoot movies, it targets box office. If Zheng Xiuwen is added, it is a romance film!
"Dragon and Phoenix Fight", "Slimming Men and Women", "Lonely Men and Widows", Adu + Liu Tianwang + Zheng Xiuwen, there must be many people looking forward to such a combination.
In fact, since the Cannes screening, "Blind Detective" has not paid any attention to it!
It is said that such a movie exceeds 100 million in minutes!
But the other party has Gundam!
It's a coincidence with "Oriental Invincible"...
First, the screening volume was released on the first day, and the screening volume of "Blind Detective" was only 15% of which was just a little bit of the gap that was dug out from "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer".
And, to be honest, the best Adu is gone, as if the best Galaxy image has also disappeared...
Of course, you can also say that Hong Kong-style light comedy has fewer audiences in the mainland...
In short, in the original time and space, the box office of "Blind Detective" stopped at 200 million, but "The Unbeaten in the East" was not released at that time. The opponents were "Tiny Times", "Tai Chi Heroes", and "Tiantai Love"...
Squeezed by "The Unbeaten of the East", "Blind Detective" has maintained a box office of around 6 million in the remaining time, except for winning tens of millions of box offices on the first day...
"Oriental Unbeaten" won a box office of 550 million yuan in the first weekend, while "Blind Detective" didn't even get a fraction of his!
...
Ye Ning looked through the report for a while and nodded: "It seems that the box office is really likely to exceed 2 billion!"
Xu Hui sat on the chair, picked up the tea in front of him, and took a sip: "...I should pay attention to the opponent."
"Adversary? Are you talking about "Rooftop Love"?"
In the new movie of Jay Chou, his commercial appeal no longer needs to be proved. The movie "Slam Dunk" that year could exceed 100 million...
"No, I mean "Fast and Furious 6"..."
"Love in the Rooftop"... I won't comment anymore, I am his loyal fan...
In a simple sentence: bloody everywhere, pretending to be dead...
The box office of this broken movie actually exceeded 100 million. It can only be said that the Chinese film market is really easy to make money!
Looking through a bunch of five-star praises, focusing on stage design and props, there is no praise for the plot or the characters' performance, which shows that these people are still in a conscience...
""fast and Furious"?"
Ye Ning was a little confused.
The vegetarian chicken series has not shown the arrogance of the later generations so far. The main reason is that Paul Walker is not dead yet...
But "The Cheese 6" has initially demonstrated the strength of this series. If you remember correctly, the global box office is close to $800 million...
Chapter completed!
