Chapter 92 Beyond "Transformers"
In the afternoon of that day, the news of the "Kung Fu Panda" seminar was publicly discussed on several large website forums such as Tianya, Sohu, Sina, and Blog.
Many people in the industry know that Zhang Junsheng is on the top of the list!
Yuehua also promoted it a wave, of course, what they promoted was more "A Chinese Ghost Story"...
...
On October 25, "Dialogue" was broadcast, and Zhang Junsheng once again staged a verbal battle against all the scholars.
At the scene, a certain audience questioned: "I won't watch "A Chinese Ghost Story". I think that movie is too simple!"
Zhang Junsheng almost laughed: "Simple?"
"Then tell me about Hollywood's big movies, which plot is complicated?"
"Is the plot of "Tidanic" complicated? Why can it sell $1.8 billion worldwide?"
The audience replied: "The Titanic can make a big splash because love is the eternal theme of mankind!"
"Yes, "A Chinese Ghost Story" also praises love. If you don't even watch it, just criticize it, will it be too much?"
"Zhang Junsheng, you just made a movie. What qualifications are you qualified to be comparable to Cameron?"
"When did I say I want to compare with Cameron?"
"Then you just gave an example..."
"I give an example because "Titanique" is currently the global box office champion!" After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "The box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in North America was $120 million. Are North American audiences all mentally retarded? Do they have to watch simple movies?"
Another audience wearing glasses stood up: "I don't like "Titanik". I think movies are art. What I like is "The Road to Glory", "Clockwork Orange", and "A walk around, I feel that Chinese audiences love art very much and have a very high level of art appreciation. However, the movies that sell well at the box office are basically commercial films! It is difficult to sell art films! "If Love" has a box office of 20 million yuan, which has set a record for art films!"
"How much box office of Jia Zhangke's "The Good People in the Three Gorges"? Do you know when he was released?"
"The total box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has reached 248 million!"
"I can understand that most people criticize bad movies. Most people, when making movies, mainly to make money. The more people are lazy and skating, the fewer people will definitely make good movies. Therefore, we must resist bad movies, but we cannot even boycott commercial movies!"
"You don't even have the idea of going to the cinema to watch it. After reading a few posts online, you just followed the trend and scolded me. What if that post was deliberately slandered?"
"I have a friend who is like this. During the National Day holiday, he went to watch "Sharpshooter Zhiduoxing", "Lottery Crazy", and "Iron Triangle", but he didn't watch "A Chinese Ghost Story". He turned around and called me and told me that the Chinese movies were about to be finished... Do you like to watch bad movies yourself, and have a half-dollar relationship with Chinese movies?"
"Another thing is, the development of the film industry is not driven by art films, but commercial films!"
...
In addition to "Dialogue", Zhang Junsheng also took Zhou Xing and Xu Yan to "Face to Face". By the way, Xu Yan also went to the movie channel to do a Light and Movie Star Podcast.
Stimulated by a series of TV promotions, "A Chinese Ghost Story", which has already declined, has ushered in a new wave of movie viewing, and the crowds in the cinema are surging.
Even many middle-aged and elderly viewers who usually don’t live in cinemas have entered the cinemas…
It has attracted many non-stock audiences!
The box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is getting higher and higher. Finally, the box office in the new week was released. "A Chinese Ghost Story" ranked the box office champion for three consecutive weeks with a total cumulative box office of more than 260 million...
It's safe, there are still about ten days before "Spy Shadows 3" and "Die Hard 4" are released. This cycle is enough to make the total box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" reach 290 million...
It is unlikely to exceed the 356 million Titanic, but there is absolutely no problem to exceed the 280 million Titanic!
Even, he can surpass "The City is full of big girls" and sit at the top of the box office of Chinese movies in mainland China!
...
In fact, in late October, many new films were released, including "Food Movement", "Brothers' Life and Death Alliance", and "Soul Chariot 1", but unfortunately, they failed to stop "A Chinese Ghost Story" from harvesting the box office!
"Brothers' Life and Death Alliance" specially launched four of the "Five Tiger Generals". Bona's box office expects this movie to be over 100 million...
Then the first week didn't reach 20 million...
Yu Dong was almost crying!
If you just look at the box office for a week, you will think that the result is pretty good, with 16 million yuan, which is already a big seller in this era!
But "Brothers' Life and Death Alliance" claims to invest 50 million. According to the current state, the total box office may be 30 million, which is definitely a loss of money!
"The main line is reasonable and the performance is pretty good, but there is nothing extraordinary about it other than that. The biggest problem is that the stimulating drama is not exciting - "Beijing News""
The evaluation is reasonable...
The biggest problem is not only the plot itself, but also the coincidence of "A Chinese Ghost Story"!
Although the target groups of movies do not overlap, the ticket price is too expensive, with 50 yuan per ticket, and students and young people have limited consumption potential. Many people would rather watch "A Chinese Ghost Story" twice than watch "Brothers' Life and Death Alliance"...
As for "Soul Chariot 1", Cage's appeal is not that strong. Besides, "Soul Chariot 1" is indeed a bad movie...
...
As of November 5, Yuehua Media, which has been under the influence of the news, announced the news that the total box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in 36 days was 298 million, surpassing "Transformers", and by the way, he knocked down Lao Taozi...
"A Chinese Ghost Story breaks the record of "The Golden Armor in the City" and becomes the most popular domestic film!"
"A Chinese Ghost Story won the championship, and the new generation of directors took the banner of domestic films!"
"The box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was 296 million yuan, and the king of domestic movies was born!"
Amid all kinds of reports, Zhang Junsheng's popularity has risen to the highest peak!
However, Zhang Junsheng publicly wrote on Weibo: "Director Zhang is the filmmaker I admire the most. What he sees is not just movies, but the future of Chinese films. He is not only a director, but also a guide to Chinese films. If it weren't for the existing audience he led, the cinema would have closed down long ago!"
That's right, it's Weibo!
And it was a Weibo post made by Yuehua himself!
Zhang's mother was immersed in playing games and couldn't extricate herself from doing new things. Zhang Junsheng had had enough of his days without Weibo, so he just made one by himself!
Chapter completed!
