In November, when the previous Lunar New Year outpost was held, the box office fiasco of "Waiting for the Wind", which was highly anticipated, made the entire Lunar New Year stall a lot quieter, and it was not until the release of "Thai Embarrassment" that the Lunar New Year stall had the popularity it should have.

84 million on the first day, and although "Four Famous Catches 2" was released on the second day, it still successfully broke 100 million, getting 108 million in a single day.

Breaking 100 million in a single day, for today's domestic film market, is definitely a symbol of a milestone, so far no one doubts that "Thai Embarrassment" can not break one billion, the only variable is "Private Custom", which will be released more than ten days later, is also a comedy, whether it can steal a certain market.

"The Four Famous Catches 2", which was released on Friday, was still the same as the first part, with a tepid box office and 23 million on the first day.

Even if there is Deng Chao, who has dedicated his superb acting skills in "Truman's World" and "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", this movie is only full of slots.

Deng Chao also has a bit of Schrödinger's acting skills, and the performance in the movie is not brilliant at all, and it is not as good as the villain Wu Xiubo.

Among the actresses, even Liu Yufei, who was called a fairy by netizens, was still overshadowed by Liu Yan and Jiang Yiyan's scene of competing for beauty in the bathroom.

It turns out that for the most part, people still prefer to wear less.

Otherwise, there are always people on the Internet who are posting and discussing, when will there be software to crack mosaics?

The only highlight of this film is probably whether the next ruthless played by Liu Yufei will continue to sit in a wheelchair or stand up, after all, with the help of what kind of tool can this second part stand up and fight.

There are no other opponents in the same period, and "Thai Embarrassment" has no opponent who can take a look at it squarely, winning 240 million on Saturday and Sunday, and 430 million in four days after its release.

Throughout the Internet, wherever movies are mentioned, "Thai Embarrassment" cannot be avoided, and you can feel the laughter of netizens just by looking at their words.

The sentence 2B of the beautiful woman in the elevator, Wang Baoqiang mistook Xu Zheng for Huang Bo, and Xu Zheng experienced a gut battle in a white strong man's room, and strayed into the gang trading scene......

This funny plot has contributed countless laughter to this Chinese New Year.

Of course, it's not just funny, but under the comedy shell, there is also an emotional blockbuster with little ink.

Xu Lang and his wife's marital crisis, Wang Bao's prayer for his mother's health and his infatuation with the goddess, Gao Bo's nostalgia for his wife in labor, and the friendship formed by Xu Lang and Gao Bo's bumps and bumps in the long journey.

In the end, everyone was happy, in line with the audience's viewing needs, and also in line with the style of the Chinese New Year file, Xu Lang and his wife did not divorce, Gao Bo heard the good news of his wife's smooth birth on the festive day of the Songkran Festival in Thailand, Wang Bao contacted the goddess of morning and evening thoughts, and took commemorative photos of the honeymoon series with her.

These emotions hidden in the depths of the film have been secretly surging, although there are not many scenes, but they also play a role in icing on the cake, making the movie more than just a funny film.

The box office of 430 million in four days made the industry sigh and lament.

Ticket-buying platforms such as Grava and Meituan, which are outside the industry, can only watch countless users abandon them and flock to future movies.

They gritted their teeth at Li Qian, everyone had a fair and reasonable competition, but Li Qian cheated directly, completely ignoring the rules.

In the past four days, 35% of the 430 million box office of "Thai Embarrassment" have been online tickets, and 90% of these 35% of online tickets, in addition to the official websites of local theaters in various regions, are from future movies.

There are more than 4 million movie tickets, and they have nothing to do with other platforms.

It's a fatal shock!

Grava's boss Liu Yong is now completely blinded by Li Qian's hand, no one buys tickets if there is no ticket sale, no one buys tickets, and they crown the service of any platform, and there is no place for them.

In the conference room, Grava's executives were all sad, since getting Li Qian's angel round of investment until now, the company has been smooth sailing, and only won $20 million in financing last month.

The valuation has also increased from a few million at the beginning to more than 1 billion now.

But now, the industry leader has no tickets to sell in the Chinese New Year stalls.

After a meeting, no one had any good idea, and finally a senior executive proposed with some hesitation, "Otherwise, let's also go and talk to Huayang Media and Wanda to exclusively act as an online ticket buyer for "Private Custom" and "Police Story 2013"?"

"No!" Liu Yong categorically vetoed, Cheng Long is old, "Police Story" is difficult to sell, "Private Custom" is a big hit, but he can't watch this kind of cheesy film.

If you don't do this, there is no other way, Liu Yong can only comfort everyone, "There will always be a day when "Thai Embarrassment" will be painted, and the situation will improve after this month. ”

......

Not only did Grava think about it, but Meituan, which wanted to enter the online ticket market on a large scale, was also ready to move, and successively contacted Huayang Media and Wanda.

However, Song Ge and Huang Zhongjun both refused Meituan's cooperation as the exclusive agent of online tickets, and they themselves are dogs in the face of "Thai Embarrassment", if it is self-defeating, it will be over.

In the face of the menacing "Thai Embarrassment", Huayang Media can only increase publicity efforts and prepare for the next screening, and Wanda is glad that "Police Story 2013" will only be released at the end of the month.

Sensitive to the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" is Teng Huatao, who has just experienced the fiasco of Double 11, and he once promised Beijing Satellite TV to serve as the chief director of a variety show.

Like many people, Teng Huatao has been faintly looking forward to it before, looking forward to "Thai Embarrassment" also hitting the street at the box office, so that everyone will hit the street, and it will be difficult for brothers and sisters.

However, instead of hitting the street, it exploded, and wanted to hit the fourth domestic film with a box office of one billion.

In addition to being a little uncomfortable, Teng Huatao was also ashamed of his previous thoughts, and when he was filming "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" before, he also chatted with Xu Zheng about the comedy plot in the movie, and he had a little friendship.

However, the explosion of "Thai Embarrassment" has set off the failure of "Waiting for the Wind" more and more, and Teng Huatao is becoming more and more sluggish, so after thinking about it, he still dialed the phone of Beijing TV and promised to take over the program "Brave Heart" as the producer and chief director.

......

Li Qian, who was far away in the magic capital, also saw Xu Zheng again, he took Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo to the magic capital roadshow, and by the way, he came to visit the crew of "Rejuvenation".

Li Qian smiled and said, "How about Brother Zheng, I didn't lie to you, "Thai Embarrassment" is definitely stable when it breaks one billion." ”

"Hey, hey. ”

Xu Zheng has been laughing and blossoming in the past few days, with a billion box office, there are only three in China, and two of them are still Li Qian's, which means that he is the third billion club, and he will directly become a big director with this.

After more than ten years as an actor, he became a first-line, and he went from a rookie to a big director after only four years of being a director and making movies.

Seeing that he was so happy, he couldn't see his eyes when he smiled, and Li Qian was also happy, "In the future, Brother Zheng, Brother Bo, and Baoqiang, the three of you, will be the benchmark for domestic comedians, and the audience's laughter will depend on you!"

Wang Baoqiang will star in "Detective Chinatown" next, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo and other Ning Hao are busy with "Detective Chinatown", and he has to shoot his own "Heart Flower Road", in the next two or three years, the popular and popular comedy movies will definitely be indispensable to the three of them, and there will definitely be one of them.

After chatting for a while, Li Qian is about to continue to make his own movie, which is in the church, and the actor successfully stands up.

Xu Zheng and they were not in a hurry to leave, the first movie in the early morning had just begun, and the roadshow would not start until half past eleven, so they simply sat next to them and rested.

Looking at the group performance and the actor Mi Lijian who played the priest of the god stick and they were preparing for filming, Xu Zheng suddenly made a suggestion, "Director Li, in fact, I think that it may be better if this paragraph is played by a domestic actor to play the priest, by the way, ironic those... What do you say on the Internet, what is that word called?"

Next to him, Huang Bo added, "Cents, sheepdogs and the like." ”

"Yes, yes, these are these two words, if you find a domestic actor to play the priest, the irony is obvious. Xu Zheng nodded again and again and said, "I think Bozi is quite suitable, and the long one is very ironic." ”

As soon as he heard this, Huang Bo was immediately unhappy, "Whoever is sarcastic, why is it sarcastic!"

"I mean, it's fitting for you to play this kind of sarcasm. ”

"I think you're sarcastic, it's just right to play this kind of unscrupulous film, how good it was to play a profiteer who sold a cemetery, and the mean boss in "People in Embarrassment" is the same, it's suitable for this kind of role, right? ”

Wang Baoqiang, who was watching the play on the side, was speechless, you two quarrel, what does it matter to me.

"Alright, alright. Li Qian stopped the two from scolding each other, shook his head and said, "It's really more ironic to change to a priest played by a Chinese person, no matter who you two play, it will be more funny, but it doesn't match the style of the whole movie, overall this is still a movie with a relatively heavy feeling, it's too funny." ”

Li Qian can imagine that Huang Bo chanting in the name of the Lord to make the protagonist stand up, just like the monkey's shouting makes the monkey stand up straight and salute, it really becomes a monkey.

I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of it, but all the departments and actors on the scene were ready, and I didn't talk nonsense to them, so I hurried up to shoot.

It is also a simple scene, the pastor in the church has just finished praying with the believers, and the mother who works in the nursing home under the church, that is, the middle-aged woman who adopts the male protagonist played by Liu Mingtao, is also religious.

She hurriedly pushed her wheelchair to the pastor and whispered to the pastor that she had not been able to get pregnant.

The white priest pressed one hand on Liu Mingtao's stomach and said loudly, "Lord, if you can forgive this woman's sins, let him conceive a fetus!"

"Come out, damn misery!"

After shouting, he pushed hard and shouted, "Praise the Lord!"

"Praise the Lord!" shouted the group performers.

"Hallelujah!"

"Hallelujah!"

After receiving applause from the worshippers on stage, the pastor looked at the stuntman in the wheelchair wearing a headgear for tracking position, with green capture dots painted on his face and a head-mounted camera.

"Let's see, what pain this old man has. ”

Liu Mingtao hurriedly explained, "The devil has entangled him and wants to take him to the grave." ”

The priest immediately pointed at the stuntman and shouted, "Come out, devil!"

After shouting, he asked the stuntman about his age.

"I'm five years old, but I look a lot older. ”

"He was only five years old. ”

The priest was a little amused, and the believers below laughed too.

"This is a positive and optimistic person, and we are all children in God's eyes. ”

"Hallelujah!"

"Hallelujah!"

"We're going to get you out of that wheelchair so you can get back up. ”

The priest pointed to the stuntman and pressed his hand on his head, as if the great immortal was casting a spell, "In the name of God, stand up!"

"Stand up!"

The stuntman is holding the wheelchair with both hands, struggling to stand up.

"God will watch you!"

The pastor looked around and said aloud, "God will look at this little old man, not relying on crutches or wheelchairs, all the way down!"

"God will watch you and go down alone by faith and bless!"

However, no matter how passionately he spoke, the stuntman stood up tremblingly, and just as he took his first step, he fell to the ground solidly.

Liu Mingtao looked worried and wanted to help, but the pastor stopped her.

"Don't touch him!"

He pointed to the stuntman lying on the ground with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Stand up!"

"Stand up like Lazarus!"

Lazarus is a biblical character who was resurrected by Jesus four days after his death.

The stuntman miraculously stood up and, under the command of the priest, slowly took a step forward.

One step, two steps......

Everyone applauded happily.

The pastor even danced with his hands raised and shouted, "Oh, praise the Lord!"

Suddenly, his expression froze, he kept his hands raised, and fell straight back.

"Oh God!"

The scene was in a panic.

"Click, do it again!" Li Qian shouted to stop.

"Hahahaha....."

Xu Zheng, who was already happy, was amused by this scene, and laughed directly at the scene.

This laugh, others couldn't help but laugh along, it was really the scene just now, the priest of the god stick "cured" the male protagonist, and after shouting praises to the Lord, he suddenly hung up, it was too ironic, too funny.

After laughing heartily, Xu Zhengcai said, "Fortunately, Director Li didn't make comedies all the time, otherwise we would all have lost our jobs." ”

Other people think that this kind of film with a strong sense of history can be made so funny, and it is needless to say that it is true that comedy is made, "Truman's World" is an example, it is really a cut above other comedies.

......

Xu Zheng and their crew were happy for a while, and then went to the city to be busy with the roadshow, and the roadshow scene was also full of laughter, which is also the mainstream voice of the current Chinese New Year stalls.

The popularity of "Thai Embarrassment" continues, winning 500 million box office in a single week in the second week, and the box office is as high as 930 million in two weeks of release, and one billion is just around the corner.

On Wednesday of the third week, after two days of screenings, the box office successfully exceeded the billion mark, becoming the fourth film with a billion box office in China, and Xu Zheng also became the third member of the billion directors club.

At the beginning of the year, "Journey to the West" broke one billion, and at the end of the year, "Thai Embarrassment" also broke one billion, one end and one end, this 2013 can be called a success.

Now it can be said that the domestic film market has truly ushered in the era of one billion, and it is no longer the exclusive domain of a certain director.

Although I don't want to see the movies produced by the film industry break one billion in the future, the industry can only think better, after all, this means that the market is constantly expanding, so I can only comfort myself.

However, after breaking the billion, in addition to countless praises, it also faced more criticism.

This is not like "I Don't Take the God of Medicine" and "Truman's World", both of which have comic scores of more than nine points, which can be called phenomenal masterpieces, and there is not much to question.

But "Thai Embarrassment" is different, the husband is not guilty of his crimes, and he broke one billion, which will inevitably make people red, and the accompanying controversy will come.

A university literature professor and well-known writer called "Thai Embarrassment" a typical 'three vulgar' movies, vulgar, vulgar, and kitsch!

He called on the Chinese cultural industry, represented by films, not only to keep an eye on the box office, but to pay attention to cultural orientation and improve the cultural quality and taste of the people.

According to media reports: The reason why a film with no aesthetic value and artistic content like "Thai Embarrassment" can get such a high box office reflects to a certain extent the low level of national appreciation, the higher the box office, the bigger the problem, and such a film is meaningless for the improvement of national quality, but will play a negative role.

The professor immediately lived on the Internet, and it also attracted the approval of many people.

"Thai Embarrassment" suddenly seems to have something to do with the three vulgarities.

The high-spirited Xu Zheng immediately went back, and in the face of the reporter's interview, he smiled slightly, "When I see this voice, I know the meaning of the word "beast", and I hope that everyone will pay attention to this movie and bring more possibilities to the audience, investors and peers." Only popular movies can cover more moviegoers.

The movie I really want to make has been included in "Thai Embarrassment", a good-looking movie that can make me feel the taste of life, not some vulgar things that I see with colored glasses, sometimes what is in my eyes will see something!"

Call the beast, call the beast!

Some people who look down on cheesy movies, especially those who look down on cheesy movies that sell a billion box office, began to talk about the three vulgarities of "Thai Embarrassment", which ushered in a lot of controversy on the Internet.

However, it did not affect the popularity of the movie at all, but became more and more popular.

And on the evening of Friday, Ma Xiaogang's "Private Custom" also officially opened the first round of screenings.
