Chapter 1 Spring Festival 2014
The Spring Festival period started with the release of "Huo Yuanjia" during the Spring Festival in 2016 and achieved a box office of over 100 million yuan!
Over the past eight years, the box office of the Spring Festival has increased by more than 20 times, and the number of people has increased by 18 times, and the "largest concentric circle" has been drawn.
The Spring Festival period is already one of the periods in which Chinese-language movies must fight for incoming land!
According to data, the box office of the Spring Festival in 2O12 was 575 million yuan, and the Spring Festival in 2O13 was 765 million yuan, an increase of 86.5%. The film that contributed the most was Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons";
As the last golden holiday for making money during the New Year holiday, last year's "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" made people see the huge box office potential of the Spring Festival period. Smart film merchants have long realized this, so the new films in this year's Spring Festival period are still better than those in the New Year's Day period.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year alone, six movies were bombarded in scattered.
"Journey to the West: The Great Trouble in the Heavenly Palace" has been sharpened for four years. Its promotional slogan is 'Mainly created with 120 million US dollars!'
"Macau Storm" by Wang Jing and Brother is the most authentic New Year's film, and all kinds of funny fights are particularly suitable;
"Ex-Strategy" where idols sit in the formation is the most authentic romantic comedy, and all kinds of top-notch exes are ridiculous;
"Frozen", which has been well received abroad, is the most authentic family animation, natural, harmless, beautiful and charming.
Another eye-catching "movie" is "Where Are We Going, Dad", which has been transformed from a popular TV reality show, with no scripts, short shooting, and short production cycles. This way of making movies is rare in the entire industry, and even subverts our basic understanding of movies. However, its high popularity and audiences' love for the five cute kids make their money promising.
What makes Shen Lindan even more distressed is that the movie "Where Are We Going, Dad?" is also a big deal from the light!
Damn it!
Finally, "International Market" directed by Zhang Yimou, screenwriter, was also selected to be released in this schedule!
"International Mall" has attracted attention since its filming.
On the one hand, Zhang Yimou himself is a master-level director. On the other hand, Shen Lin himself declared that "with his current directorial skills, he cannot make "International Market""
Many people are looking forward to this $100 million production!
What's more, the box office king Huang Bo joined the team strongly.
Everyone has reason to look forward to a movie made up of these three people!
Because it was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was no publicity event like the lighting.
In fact, with Shen Lin's current attention and Zhang Yimou's influence, Ying and others can be completely ignored.
The theater industry is very proud of its appearance and directly gave 30% of the daily screening volume.
After all, it’s already great that so many movies are released in large numbers!
"Journey to the West: The Great Trouble in the Heavenly Palace" received 25% of the screening volume, which is almost the same as "Macau Storm".
What’s a bit funny is that the fourth place is actually "Where Are We Going, Dad?", which has a percentage of the screenings, which is higher than that of "Frozen"!
By the way, there are also "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and a movie called "UPan" that is also released on the second day of the Lunar New Year!
Liu Zhenwei treats mainland audiences as a bag of money. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is clearly a vulgar movie created by the name of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Of course, mainland audiences finally learned to be smart. The producer thought that Liu Zhenwei's name plus Zheng Yijian, Sun Li could earn at least 80,000 yuan in box office. Then, until the painting was released, the total box office of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was 220,000 yuan. Not only that, this movie also created the myth of reputation 3.o, and almost entered the top ten of the bad movie reputation list!
Alas! 3.o can't even enter the top ten!
There are so many domestic bad movies!
In addition, a bunch of anime is also rushing to go online during the Spring Festival to make some money, such as "I Am a Wolf", "Smart Ikki", "Polar Adventure 2", "Turkey Movement" and so on.
At the end of the day, the movie box office was released. There is no doubt that "International Market" left the remaining five movies under his belt with a daily box office of 170 million yuan.
Hong Fu, who was screened by 3D, actually reaped nearly 40,000 yuan in box office. "Macau Storm" earned about 280,000 yuan a day. The remaining movies shared 30,000 yuan in box office. Shocking things happened again. "Where Are We Going, Dad" actually reaped 180,000 yuan!
Damn, I really want to scold you!
Especially Huayi's "Ex-Story", which was an investment of nearly 300,000 yuan, but it actually lost to a variety show movie!
Huayi was so angry that she said she was cheating!
All of the above seems to be covered up by the strong box office of "International Market", because on the second day of the Lunar New Year, "International Market", which has won 35% of the screens with a good reputation, closed at 240 million yuan, not only becoming the box office champion of the day, but also setting a new box office record set by Chen Lin on "Veter"!
Everyone, even if the filmmakers who don’t like Zhang Yimou know that "International Market" is definitely a box office monster, and 200 million is definitely not its end. This is true. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, "International Market" once again set a box office record of 240 million, with a daily closing of 260 million!
Is Zhang Yimou that awesome?
Many people walked into the cinema with suspicion, and then wrote online, "Zhang Yimou is still the same Zhang Yimou! The master is the master!"
During the seven days of the Spring Festival, "International Market" won nearly 1.3 billion yuan in box office with a strong aura, breaking all records in film history. Not only that, the reputation of the movie has always remained high. Douban gave a score of nearly 8.6, and Time Network also gave an 8.8 points!
There are many praises online!
‘A movie with a very complete degree, the story and historical background are well combined, without any intentionality and abruptness, and there are many crying and laughing points!’
‘The national epic is powerful and powerful.’
‘The Chinese version of Forrest Gump is worthy of its name. Chen Lin’s screenwriter is great, director Zhang is better, Huang Bo’s outstanding performance, Sun Honglei made me laugh. There are few movies that can make me cry and laugh, and I even miss the clips in it!’
‘At first I heard Chen Lin say that he could not make the essence of the movie, and I still don’t quite understand it. When the movie was released, I realized that such a great work is indeed a little short of Chen Lin’s current directorial skills!’
'It is clearly all epic movies, and it clearly reflects the sadness of the characters, but Feng Xiaogang can only "1942", but Zhang Yimou can "International Market". This alone will determine the right and wrong!'
The last comment was estimated that Feng Xiaogang saw it, but what could he do if he saw it? Does netizens have no right to express their opinions?
Chapter completed!
