Chapter 1568: The Lunar New Year File on Both Sides(2/2)
On China, even though the Golden Week system was officially implemented in the second half of last year, there will be a seven-day holiday after New Year's Eve, the New Year's Eve of major film companies are still used to opening before the New Year.
Well, even with the interference of Simon, the big butterfly, China's New Year holiday has actually been formed for a few years.
Simon just felt that this trajectory once again confirmed something.
From GDP to birth rate to even the Lunar New Year movie schedule, the same sentence is still the same. History is always surprisingly similar. I don’t know if China’s per capita GDP will successfully exceed US$10,000 in 20 years, and then, in another 20 years, will China’s social structure become another South Korea.
From Simon's current position, I'm very frank, and I still have some expectations when I think about it.
After all, it is a paradise of capital.
Back to the current New Year holiday.
The reason why the two old films have rapidly shrunk is that China's New Year holiday officially started on January 28, the same Friday, the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, and the following weekend is still the Little New Year.
Five films were released in large numbers at the same time, but only two were outstanding, one was the new film "Failless" produced by Jinshu, and the other was the warm New Year comedy produced by China Film, called "Ruyi".
The result this time was also surprising.
In the past week, China Film’s “Ruyi” surpassed Jinshu’s “A Failed” and was the first to win the New Year holiday. Tsk, from this, it really fits a certain name.
First of all, "Ruyi".
Just looking at the name will inevitably make people have more tendencies. Moreover, this time, Zhongying obviously also spent some time. The film tells the story of a pair of young men and women with names called "Ruyi". They are busy working on weekdays and have no intention of lifelong events. So, in the new year, by all kinds of accidents, they finally got together and finally got married.
The two families are also very representative.
The man comes from Northeast China, you can imagine that yes, the person who plays the father is Mr. Hei Tu. The woman comes from Tianjin, so it is not difficult to guess that the parent is Mr. Feng. In addition, there are various guest appearances from familiar faces in the Spring Festival Gala over the years, such as Chen Xiaoer, who has not been banned in this time and space, and for example, he has no health at present, but he still chooses to show up and find an old lady.
Such a powerful lineup, coupled with the story, was very thoughtful. In the first week of its release, "Ruyi" won a box office of 41 million yuan, which completely made China Film superb.
Because the cost of the film is only 20 million, after all, all the big names have given China Film face, so it is impossible to get too much. Moreover, because Jinshu has been too strong in recent years, China Film has begun to have too many expectations for the film. It is enough to have a box office of 50 million yuan. While recovering the cost, it is enough to submit a good answer at the end of the year.
Who would have thought that the first week would be 41 million.
You know, there will be a seven-day Golden Week for the Spring Festival next, and the film market will not cool down until the Lantern Festival.
So, at such a start, how much does the total box office have to go?
When Simon arrived in Suzhou, he had already heard rumors from Chen Qing that after the box office of the first three days on the first weekend, China Film Group was already trying to shoot a sequel, which was keeping pace with the times. However, the cost of 20 million was recovered in the first week, and no one would shoot it.
Then there is Feng Kuzi's "A Failure".
After the first few films, although Li Daqian was still the male lead this time, before he knew it, Mr. Ge probably wouldn't have the same glory as before this time. This is off-topic, but it's just the name. In addition, even if there are still various Feng's humor this time, the plot of the film is somewhat positive and tends to criticize current problems, which is really not pleasing enough.
The cost of 30 million is 50% higher than that of China Film's "Ruyi". From January 28 to February 3, the box office was only 23 million in the first seven days.
Of course, although the word "only" is not appropriate, after all, the other three cannon fodder films during the same period did not even get a box office of 10 million in the first week. However, compared with myself, the box office of 23 million in the first week, and the subsequent box office of about 60 to 70 million will undoubtedly become the worst-scoring movie after Feng Kuzi played the Lunar New Year holiday sign.
Not to mention, just a month ago, two new films from two newcomers came from behind.
Simon learned from Chen Qing that during this period, Director Feng Da was actually very dissatisfied with the four heavyweight new projects. However, with the lukewarm popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it is obvious that what Director Feng Da has to consider next is how to ensure his status in the film and television industry.
Simon was just a little curious and didn't know if "Big Star" will appear this time.
In Director Feng’s early New Year’s series, “Big Name” is definitely a comparable existence to “Party A and Party B.”
In short, if it doesn't appear, Simon must push it with his own hands, and it must appear. After all, the series of divine prophecies in "The Big Name" from the perspective of a neurotic disease can be regarded as eternal classics.
Even Simon is already considering China and making another American version.
