Chapter 109 Breaking through 800 million yuan!
"The cumulative box office of "Those Years" is close to 800 million, revealing how small-cost youth films dominate the November film industry!"
"33 Days of Love Break" and "Those Years" became the biggest winners in the box office this year, and the common point between these two movies is that they are both directed by Shen Lin!"
Similar news and topics are constantly thrown out by light through major media platforms.
Li Xiaoping, head of the Light Film and Television Department, also threw out a lot of news in an interview, saying that "Those Years" became the big box office winner, which was completely beyond Light itself's expectations. Their box office estimates for the movie were only about 60 million, but Chen Lin did a miracle!
However, some of the pornographic jokes in the film also caused some trouble. Many defenders publicly opposed the movie, claiming that the movie will teach children badly!
Chen Lin pushed everything to the review and said directly that since the review has been passed, it means there is no problem!
The last stop of the roadshow is the Magic City. At this time, "Those Years" has been released for half a month, and the box office has reached an incredible 720 million!
On the same day, Chen Lin accepted an exclusive interview with "Popular Movie".
The reporters of "Popular Movie" are not easy to fool. They are all determined art film lovers, and they can also be said to be the supporters of the sixth generation directors.
The first question is very sharp. "Director Chen Lin, someone commented before," the young reporter was not polite. "Those Years can make a big deal because of the movie itself, but rather vulgar jokes and other elements of your fame. What do you think?"
"To say "Those Years" is an insult to the movie by making money by making fame." Chen Lin knew what the reporter wanted to ask.
And since he is a reporter of "Popular Movie", he must at least know about the movie, so when he answered, he was not polite at all, "Those Years are a completely different kind of sentimental movie, how could there be a big scene?"
He organized the language a little, "What I photographed is the story of the growth of our generation, youth, and memories of the post-80s generation. What impressed the boys' memories are of course some things that you seem vulgar."
The reporter said again, "Can you talk about it in detail?"
"Just talk about the pistol incident inside, that's the scene I saw with my own eyes!"
Chen Lin smiled openly.
"As for the description of college life, I only took it after actual investigation. The teachers who accompanied our generation of male students were indeed the ones!" Chen Lin shrugged, "It's also a kind of tribute!"
The reporter seemed to have not expected Chen Lin to speak such a theory, and was a little stunned.
Not until this is over, Chen Lin said again, "Now the box office of Chinese commercial films is big productions. In summary, it is just a big hit. But I just don't do that. I want to play small productions, and I want to tell a good story! I want to tell all directors that being able to tell a story well can make money!"
"Fortunately, the audience is quite buying it after the movie is released!"
It's quite a buy-in. After "Those Years" was released, it won the weekly box office championship for two consecutive weeks.
Even the stage bend that started painting at the same time was HK, and the box office results were also very good.
Especially Taiwan, he actually won the box office championship record for two weeks.
Set a new box office record for Chinese-language movies, an staggering NT$170 million! (equivalent to RMB 34 million)
And looking at the trend, we will continue the box office champion in the third week!
The entire treasure island is going crazy.
When can a mainland director actually make trouble in their film market?
At the same time, Chen Lin also came to Baodao and continued the film's promotional journey.
The questions asked by "Popular Movie" should seem very sharp, but compared to the fellow villagers in Baodao, their problems are simply pediatrics.
In fact, many film workers in Taiwan have a special sense of superiority and they have a natural discrimination against commercial films!
Even Hollywood commercial movies are disdainful. Whenever Hollywood blockbusters are released, they always sneer at them. Not to mention a low-cost commercial movie directed by a mainland director!
This trend naturally spread to Taiwan's film and television critics and related media practitioners.
However, Chen Lin didn't care about the views of these people. The so-called "Da" is different and does not plan for each other. Since even the most basic film concepts are inconsistent, there is no need to contact them.
Apart from a few routine publicity activities, he did not continue to stay in Taiwan, nor did he have the interest to communicate with Taiwan.
Moreover, looking at the entire Chinese film industry, Taiwan movies have long declined!
If it weren't for the promotion, Chen Lin would never have thought of setting foot on the treasure island!
On the plane, Ma Sichun, who was sitting opposite Shen Lin, asked curiously, "Director, what do you think are the key factors for the success of "Those Years"?"
Chen Lin took his eyes away from the window.
Because "Those Years" had a huge box office hit, the light was also magnificent, and a plane was specially rented for the crew for promotional trips everywhere.
"It's mainly because this is a good movie!"
Chen Lin was too lazy to explain so much, "But, Si Chun, you are really popular in the country this time, the first love of the people, haha!"
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity..." Maschun narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"I want to thank the director, thank you very much!"
Huang Xuan also came over.
"Me too!"
“So I…”
Jing Boran, Xue Zhiqian, Bao Beier, Qiao Shan and Jia Ling all came over.
"Can you sit down? This is on the plane!"
The plane quickly landed at HK International Airport. The crew and his group left the airport and got on the car from the siege of a bunch of fans and reporters.
Chen Lin took out his mobile phone to check the latest box office results.
As of November 26, "Those Years" have not only been the Taiwan Sword, but HK's box office has been booming.
There are still no competitors in the mainland market, which has been released for three weeks, and the trend is extremely stable. The box office this week is only 20% lower than last week. While achieving a box office of 140 million, it also achieved three consecutive championships in the mainland box office rankings!
The cumulative box office reached 860 million!
This is the first time that Chen Lin has been able to win three box office championships in a row. "Those Years" is also the only local film in China to achieve three consecutive box office championships.
"Transformers 3" doesn't count!
However, three days later, the "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" directed by HK's famous director Lee Rengang will be released soon. I wonder if it will cause any trouble to "Those Years".
The result was a bit shocking. The "Hongmen Banquet Legend" which gathered the king of heaven, Li Ming, first-line movie stars Zhang Hanyu, Liu Yifei, Feng Shaofeng, Huang Qiusheng, Chen Xiaochun, An Zhijie and others only won the first box office of 28 million on the day of premiere, pressing "Those Years" under one roof. Before the producer Fang Xingguang International could take a breath, the next day, "Those Years", which had been released for 21 days, actually grabbed the box office of 21 million, and once again pressed "Hongmen Banquet Legend" under his body!
Chapter completed!
