After the release of the two new Chinese New Year films "Taiping Wheel" and "The Year in a Hurry", the industry was stunned.

The former is known as the Oriental Titanic, and two days ago, Wu Yusen also said that this is not just a disaster movie like the Oriental ship, it is more meaningful than the big ship.

It's easy to blow, with an investment of hundreds of millions, a lot of stars, and a top international special effects team, but the box office was only 20 million on the first day, which can be described as the biggest contrast of the year.

What's more critical is that the small-budget youth film "The Year in a Hurry" released on the same day all received 30 million, which is 10 million higher than "Taiping Wheel".

This comparison has become a laughing stock in the industry.

Especially Wang Changtian, he is happy to blossom, "The Year in a Hurry" itself is a small-budget youth film, and director Zhang Yibai's last "Will Love" was a box office hit, but it has the fame of a TV series.

and encountered the extremely popular "Rejuvenation", coupled with the super blockbuster "Taiping Wheel", Wang Changtian was ready to hit the street at the box office, anyway, the investment is not big, and he can't lose money.

But now.

"That's it?"

The super blockbuster "Taiping Wheel" is 10 million lower than the first-day box office of his small-budget "The Year in a Hurry"!

Not to mention how happy I am, because of Li Ming's accident before, there was a problem with the pony's funds, and Wang Changtian wanted to get involved.

Although Wang Changtian has always been petty and keen to invest in small-budget films, he has been secretly ridiculed by major companies for being timid, but he also wants to make blockbusters.

And "Taiping Wheel" is a super big production, at least there is a guarantee at the box office, plus I participated in it halfway, and the payback cycle was greatly shortened, so I wanted to give it a go.

However, in the end, it was Huayang and Lay's who intervened and squeezed Wang Changtian out.

In June, because of the accident of L, who was implicated in Jia Leting, at the same time as the investigation, Jia Leting suddenly went abroad for an investigation, disappeared for five months, and only came back half a month ago.

During that time, Lay's people were panicked, and the stock price continued to fall, so Wang Changtian wanted to participate in "Taiping Wheel" again, but was rejected by Huang Zhongjun, not wanting Wang Changtian to come to get a piece of the pie again.

If he met Huang Zhongjun now, Wang Changtian would really thank him for refusing his entry.

Thinking of the box office of "Taiping Wheel", and the box office success of his "Hurry That Year", double happiness is coming, Wang Changtian feels comfortable in his heart.

......

In the case of the Chinese New Year stalls, some people are comfortable, and some people are uncomfortable.

Needless to say, Lethe's Zhang Zhao is needless to say, after L was investigated, after a series of events such as regulatory turmoil, political rumors, and capital crisis, it was called a miserable.

Originally, I hoped that "Taiping Wheel" could return to blood, but seeing this box office, let alone blood, thank God for not continuing to bleed.

Another big hit is Huang Zhongjun, although he didn't have great hopes, the box office was low, but he just wanted to invest less, even if he lost the issuance fee, he could make up for the deficit of the investment, even if he made less money, it didn't matter.

However, Huang Zhongjun thought that the box office was low, but he didn't think it would be as low as 20 million on the first day!

simply broke Huang Zhongjun's bottom line, even if he was no longer confident, he wanted to have a box office of four or five billion.

But now, the box office reputation is poor, and there is an opponent who is running for two billion, and then there is Jiang Wen who can stand and make money, not to mention four or five billion, half of them will burn high incense.

"This Wu Yusen has little ability and a lot of temper, and he still provokes Li Qian!"

After thinking about it, Huang Zhongjun, who was irritable, directly threw the pot to Wu Yusen.

Huang Zhonglei on the side also looked angry, "In the past two days, the patriotic enthusiasm of netizens and the recognition of the anti-Mi Yuan Dynasty have been too high, and even Wu Yusen has been scolded miserably, otherwise where would the box office stop so much." ”

The two brothers scolded Wu Yusen twice, and they got entangled again.

"Big brother, what should I do next, do you want to increase publicity?"

Huang Zhongjun was entangled for a while, but still shook his head, "Forget it, the box office on the first day is not even as good as "The Year in a Hurry", don't waste that money, it's a little bit less to lose." ”

Such a small-budget film as "The Day in a Hurry" sold 30 million, which cannot be said to be a bad schedule, the opponent is too strong, and it is purely not a good film.

Generally, big productions with a bad reputation can still rely on cheating the box office in the early stage, but the first-day box office of "Taiping Wheel" of 20 million, no matter how much publicity and how to cheat, the box office on the first weekend is not high, so it can't be worth the large amount of publicity expenses for this.

......

A super blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, only getting this box office, also indicates the complete downfall of a big director.

And this sinking director has completely lost his mind at this time, and since he got the box office in the early morning, he hasn't figured out why this is for a whole day.

However, except for the media chasing him, no one cares what he thinks anymore.

Several major investors don't care about this film, other companies don't care, except for some of his fans in the audience, only complains.

In terms of poisonous tongues, the audience may not be as good as literati, but the words are not rough, and if you want to talk about ugly words, it is all the same.

"Huang Xiaoming's cigar in his mouth really looks like eating spicy strips!"

"The movie theater can't press fast forward! The next part, please go straight to bed, thank you!"

"Wu Yusen is not even as good as a technical girl, the technical girl played by Zhang Ziyi in the movie will shout in order to protect her rights and interests, 'You have to give money twice!' As a result, this film has turned the rod once into a matter of collecting money from us twice, the movie is not very good, and it is a good hand at making money!"

...

One is more poisonous than the other, and if a new director is changed, it is estimated that he will be depressed, and he can't wait to pick up the keyboard and fight with the audience for 300 rounds.

The audience seems to be angry, investing so much, so many stars, blowing so much before the release, and what a hand-me-down, but in the end, I showed them a trailer.

Li Qian, who is either promoting all day long, or on the way to publicity, is left to do the little thing on the Internet, and it is inevitable to see the voice of "Taiping Wheel".

To be honest, it's still very joyful to watch the voices of the audience complaining.

He himself doesn't have much opinion on this film, the mainland director can shoot this theme, and the director of Baodao can also shoot it, but the director of Xiangjiang is absolutely not good, this is a cultural problem.

The war scene is quite large, all kinds of battles are raging, cars are blown up, arms are broken, all kinds of explosions are close-ups, and soldiers are shot and spurting blood.

It's all meaningless big scenes, and there is nothing else except for the excitement.

The domineering president Huang Xiaoming still had time to think slowly, be sad, and miss his wife in the battlefield, and finally escaped into the trench, and said to Tong Dawei, who survived together: I still have something to take (wedding photo with Song Huiqiao).

Then he went back to the headquarters, took the photo and said a few words of tears and sadness, what Yunfen, I have been thinking about you in my heart during the war, thinking of you dancing barefoot on the grass.

I don't know that I think I'm playing Li Yu, one second I have to pretend to give orders for brotherly feelings, and the next second I come to recite poems and miss my wife.

When I left the headquarters, I saw a photo without a diary, and two minutes later I said, "Ah! I have more important photos that I haven't taken."

The plot itself is no problem, there are many people in the army who care about their own garden yards while fighting, and it is even more common to write letters to the bald head and his wife at the same time while crying before he dies.

However, Huang Xiaoming's performance is really hypocritical, and it can't be more hypocritical.

In the end, the sun is sublimated, the sunlight spills down from the skylight, and in the center of the picture, Huang Xiaoming walks into the sun in the middle, bathes in the sun, and dies in the sun.

There are too many such meaningless and pretentious shots, so I almost wrote a hint next to it, telling the audience, how clever the shots I arranged, you guys are coming to praise me.

However, although Li Qian didn't care about this film, he sprayed Wu Yusen two days ago, and he was inevitably asked.

Li Qian also said casually, "Actually, this is a good subject in itself, even if you shoot it in accordance with the routine of any direction of the usual commercial film or literary film, you can shoot it very well, but unfortunately I didn't think about it too much."

War and love, survival and hunger? These are all there, but they are not, in fact, the director does not understand the meaning of war, and the sentence "It is better to dedicate life to love than to give life to war" in the trailer seems too light and small compared to that era. ”

I didn't say much, some things were not easy to say, and I didn't bother to take care of Wu Yusen, a street, anyway.

......

Wu Yusen, who saw Li Qian's words, was of course very angry, which directly denied the theme and core of "Taiping Wheel".

However, the box office failure of the movie has been so far, and John Woo has no heart to go to fight with Li Qian.

Facing reporters, Wu Yusen just said that the audience lacked patience for good literary films, and said that because there are many story lines, a lot of foreshadowing is needed, and I believe that the audience will have a good evaluation after watching the second part.

When the movie failed at the box office, he advertised himself as a literary film, saying that the audience didn't know how to appreciate it, and it was an old routine.

At the time of "1942", Ma Xiaogang scolded the audience who didn't know how to appreciate.

Wu Yusen, who found an excuse for himself, was in a better mood and began to complain about the investor, saying that he originally just wanted to shoot a 2D love epic, and he didn't think about dividing it into upper and lower episodes, but the investor asked to make it 3D and divide it into two parts, so that he could sell more box office.

Good guy, just sell your teammates.

Then it was reported on the Internet that Wu Yusen was filming with illness, and because of physical reasons, the investor sent someone to intervene in the later stage of the film, and many places were changed.

Huang Zhongjun and other investors also pinched their noses and admitted it, and began to send a navy to whitewash Wu Yusen and save some box office.

Not to mention, throwing the pot to the investor attracted the sympathy of some audiences, and the box office rose slightly.

However, it's not very useful, let alone a big hit, and even the pace of "The Year in a Hurry" can't keep up.

......

Li Qian also continued to devote himself to the promotion of the movie, accepting interviews, going to the cinema to meet the audience, and repeating such a boring life.

Heading south to Jinling, the Jinling Academy of Arts invited Li Qian to meet with the students.

At first, Li Qian was a little strange, the main major of Jinling Art Institute is art, even if music, dance, broadcasting, these majors are stronger than film and television majors, why invite him to do it.

But whatever, if you invite Li Qian, you will go, and it is also a very famous school.

Moreover, the students are still relatively simple.

At the beginning, a girl asked Li Qian with a yearning face, is there really such a love in the world that has not seen each other for decades, but can always hold each other in her heart in the movie.

They don't talk about big truths, they care more about the plot and details in the movie.

"Hello Director Li, I especially want to know that the movie uses a plot to describe Ma Qingyang and Ma Huaqian, what is it for, it feels a little out of place with the plot of those major events before and after. ”

"In fact, as a representative of business, many people say that the 90s were on the cusp, and there were many industries that developed rapidly in that era, but I think the Internet industry is closer to this era, after all, it is also indispensable for work and life today. ”

If you want to tell the truth, it has to be purely ridiculous, and change to someone else, Li Qian really doesn't know anything particularly funny.

You can't make a splash in the Himalayas, change the climate in the northwest, and turn it into a land of fish and rice like Jiangnan.

This story was told to Ma Xiaogang when Mu Zhong invested in "Party A and Party B", and then it was used in "See You or Leave".

"Hello Director Li, that clockmaker didn't appear later, to create such a counterclockwise clock, the actor happened to be born and ended with the big **, what is the significance of the clockmaker?"

"As the watchmaker said, he wanted to turn back the clock and that the children who died in the war would be able to go home and live their normal lives, and you could see him as a microcosm of thousands of parents.

And the male protagonist is the child whose parents are looking forward to returning, but in another magical way, he has lived his complete and legendary life. ”

"Is there any meaning to the old man who was struck by lightning?"

That's just one of the various people the actor meets in his life, we are all experiencing our own lives, we have our own joys and losses, small happiness and big sorrows, and it also reminds us that no matter what, there is hope in life, as long as it is not until the last moment, everything is not certain. ”

"Hello Director Li, I am a big fan of yours, and I have watched a lot of your interviews, and I found that compared to other movies, you talked a lot about your understanding of fate in and out of the play of "Rejuvenation"?" another student stood up, but this time he didn't say anything about the plot.

Li Qian thought for a while and sighed, "Now that the Internet is developed, there are more channels and ways for everyone to express their voices, so I have seen all kinds of voices on the Internet, I don't know why, I find that young people are becoming more and more pessimistic."

Whether it is life or love, when I gradually realize my ordinariness and ordinariness, with the growth of experience, I see this social injustice and the distant distance between people, and the huge gap between ideals and reality has extinguished my blood, and I began to become insensitive, and began to be painful and complaining.

Some of you here will definitely experience this when you enter the society, and most young people will experience this, and I just want to say one thing, if you take all those external factors, the bad things that have happened, all these things as fate.

Then every period of time in the future is an opportunity for everyone to break their fate, complain less about reality, don't let yourself be numb, maintain the passion of life, everything is still possible, a person can be struck by lightning seven times, and he is happy every day, so what reason do we have to sink here?"

It's a cliché, something that has already been talked about once.

These words, most people on the Internet are regarded as chicken soup, and like most chicken soup, it is a little touching at first glance, but it will be forgotten in the blink of an eye, and only a small number of people will really listen to it.

......

All the way south, continue this boring life.

As the days passed, the second week of the release of "Rejuvenation" also passed smoothly.

In the entire second week, "Rejuvenation" got a total of 1.04 billion.

1.04 billion in seven days, breaking 1 billion in a single week!

Although the industry is accustomed to the box office, in the eyes of everyone, breaking 2 billion is almost stable.

But even so, it is still terrifying to see that "Rejuvenation" broke one billion in the second week, and the total box office has reached a terrifying 1.773 billion in the eleven days of release.

As for "Taiping Wheel" and "The Year in a Hurry", even if the former threw the pot to the investor, John Woo won a wave of sympathy and the box office rose, but to no avail, it still accounted for the majority.

As for "The Year in a Hurry", there were also a bunch of complaints, saying that this film was a net fight, the male protagonist played, the male protagonist finished playing, the male supporting actor played, and the male supporting partner finished playing, and everyone formed a group to fight. Fight in the small restaurant, play in the small restaurant after the skating rink.

It is also said that the students in the movie have all done everything except for not studying.

They can't make any waves, and no one pays attention to them at all.

In the entire film market, it seems that there is only one movie left, "Rejuvenation".

1.773 billion, which is only one step away from 2 billion, and it just so happens that "One Step Away" will be released on Thursday, which is really a special fate.

On Monday and Tuesday, "Rejuvenation" won another 157 million in two days, and the total box office came to 1.93 billion.

Just at 0:00 midnight on Thursday, "One Step Away" opened the zero o'clock show, and Wednesday's box office was also released on time.

72 million, "Rejuvenation" won 72 million in a single day on the 14th day, and the total box office came to 2.002 billion.

The first film in mainland film history to break the box office of 2 billion was born!
