Chapter 477: You're Just Waiting for Death
"On the first day, he won 153 million, "Rejuvenation" set a new box office record for domestic films on the first day, and Li Qian once again dominated the New Year file!"
"The recovery of domestic films, since the Chinese New Year file "Transformers 4" broke the record strongly, winning nearly 2 billion box office, the domestic film market has been full of bad movies adapted and remade, almost no high-quality works, and has been pressed under a lot of Hollywood blockbusters, the voice of singing and declining domestic films has never stopped, but Li Qian used a masterpiece "Rejuvenation" to tell everyone that domestic films are still the mainstream of the mainland film market!"
"Inspiring and touching, a 70-year-long epic work that has touched countless audiences, the box office of "Rejuvenation" reached 153 million on the first day, once again setting a new first-day box office record for Chinese films. ”
"The best movie of the year is released, and "Rejuvenation" lives up to the two-year wait!"
""Rejuvenation" swept the Lunar New Year stalls, with 153 million on the first day, accounting for 90% of the total box office of the day!"
......
The movie of more than 1,150 minutes, which is half an hour longer than other films, won 153 million box office on the first day without an advantage in the film schedule, setting a new box office record for Chinese films on the first day.
This is the report card handed over on the first day of "Rejuvenation".
Although it is more than 10 million lower than "Transformers 4" released in the summer, and "Transformers 4" is also longer, there is no 3D version, and the ticket price is much lower.
In terms of attendance, there is not much difference between "Rejuvenation" and "Transformers 4" as a popcorn movie.
The previous pre-sale was also there, and the first-day box office of 153 million was also expected by everyone, although no one else wanted to see it.
Anyway, the bosses of major companies are used to it, and there is nothing unpleasant about Li Qian's film when it explodes, he has long been numb, although he really hopes that Li Qian will hit the street once.
However, Huayang Media, Guangxian, and Wanda have new films to be released in the end, although some are far away, they can't help but sweat.
......
"Big brother, if it goes on like this, "Taiping Wheel" will not be very good. ”
Huayang Media, Huang Zhonglei is full of worries, their propaganda during this period has not fallen, but it seems to be useless.
The words Oriental Titanic are swiped on the Internet every day, but except for their water army, no one mentions it at all.
Now that "Rejuvenation" is officially released, the momentum has completely drowned out the voice of their water army.
"If it's not good, it's not good, look at the point, Zhonglei!"
Compared with Huang Zhonglei, who was anxious, Huang Zhongjun drank tea leisurely.
"But big brother, "Taiping Wheel" will be released next week. Huang Zhonglei said.
"Anyway, the loss can't be lost to us, what's the hurry, it's still so frizzy after so many years!"
Huang Zhongjun looked at his younger brother very dissatisfied, he didn't have the bearing of a big entrepreneur or a successful person at all, but like a second ancestor, he was quite good at eating, drinking and having fun.
"By the way, the notice was announced, and the four words of Huayang Media began to be diluted from the movie. After thinking about it, Huang Zhongjun said again.
Huang Zhonglei reacted now, his brother was about to give up "Taiping Wheel", he hurriedly said, "But, after all, it is Wu Yusen's film, and the lineup theme is very popular, isn't it too early." ”
"It's not early, let's dilute our company's label first, and then take a look after the release, and then highlight that this is our work if the box office is okay. Huang Zhongjun shook his head, the little money he made in the movie was really not as fluctuating as the stock market a little.
In the past two years, the performance has not been good, and the market value has soared from the lowest point of 7 billion to 35 billion, and the profits in this are higher than the profits of the company in several years.
"Okay, I'll arrange it. Huang Zhonglei thought about it, but unfortunately Wu Yusen successfully fought cancer last month and announced it to the media, otherwise he could still publicize Wu Yusen's posthumous works and play the sympathy card.
......
"Taiping Wheel" is not a film of Huayang Media, they are not too worried, and they will not lose anything, anyway, there is a distribution fee.
"The Year in a Hurry" is a small-budget movie, and Guang Xian doesn't worry much, it's a good thing to make a profit, and it doesn't matter if you lose it.
As for "One Step Away", although a guaranteed contract was signed, but after half a month, Wanda didn't worry much, after all, if it weren't for Li Qian's existence in 10 years, Jiang Wen would have been a god back then.
For the big hit of "Rejuvenation", the industry is also accustomed to it, slightly surprised, and then wait to see how much box office it can reach in the end.
And after a full day, the Internet has been overwhelmingly full of various discussions and evaluations about the movie.
It's basically a piece of praise, and in general commercial films, you can still talk about artistry and belittle commercial films from this aspect.
However, "Rejuvenation", whether commercial or artistic, has done a good job in any aspect, and the comic score is 9.2 points as soon as the ban is lifted.
Professional film critics from all walks of life, one by one and their professional film reviews, have analyzed the movies from various perspectives such as human nature, death, and life.
Of course, not all of them have good sounds, and there are always some people who disdain movies.
On this day, Li Qian continued to perform roadshows in Beijing, and met the first audience who criticized him very unceremoniously in the cinema.
In the audience, a disappointed young viewer recounted his dissatisfaction.
"Director Li, to be honest, I'm very disappointed in you, because you always said in the past that you won't tell any big truths based on a movie, because everyone sees different things from the same movie, what you see is yourself, and you won't tell any big truths in the movie.
But this time in "Rejuvenation", what I saw was indeed preachy throughout, and the so-called classic lines that seemed to be full of poetry were like sentences that were preached from childhood to adulthood and preached by classmates in their ears......"
finally heard the audience's positive criticism of the movie, and Li Qian also came to the spirit.
It's not that he's looking for abuse, it's a little boring.
In the face of criticism, Li Qian's face did not change, and he still smiled all over his face, "This friend, do you think the movie is preaching from beginning to end, can you give a chestnut?"
The audience member immediately said, "The captain played by Jiang Wu said, "When you don't go your way, you can vent like a mad dog, scold, and curse fate, but you still have to let go." This is clearly preaching, teaching others not to rebel against fate and succumb to reality.
The character of the captain is also like this, he did not stick to his dreams, was crushed by reality, and became a coarse man who smoked and drank heavily, and was full of foul language, his soul was dead, and what survived was just a shell arranged by fate. ”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice slowly raised a tone, "I never thought that in "Truman's World", Li Qian, who taught us to break through ourselves and resist the injustice of fate, turned his head and instilled the idea of accepting fate in the movie, which disappointed us so much, no one wants to be a marionette in the hands of fate!"
I wiped it, and when I opened my mouth, the soul was dead, and Li Qian called it a good guy in his heart, and he was wronged if he didn't submit to Yilin.
However, this kind of remark touched the soul and fate, but it made the audience start to think.
There are a lot of such words on the Internet, and it seems to be bullshit, but there are always some people who regard it as a classic, a bit like the QQ signature a few years ago.
Li Qian smiled, and just wanted to lean back slightly, but remembered that he was standing on the stage, there was no chair under his buttocks, and there was no backrest behind him, so he still stabilized his body.
"I seem to have heard something similar to what you said, isn't there such a paragraph, what is the title "It turns out that you died when you were 30 years old".
Basically, when you reach the age when you should get married, you will be together with the same person, and then you will work hard, a child will be born, you will be rebellious in adolescence, your grades will be bad, and then you will repeat your life, and you will have to help your son take care of the child when you are old.
It wasn't until the 70-year-old grandson had grown up that he had time to go out for a walk, but at that time it was already difficult to even go down the stairs.
Then at the age of 75, you looked at the doctor in front of the hospital bed and shook your head, and the expressions of the people around you were solemn, so you understood, it turned out that at the wedding at the age of 30, you had already died, and many people should have seen this paragraph, right?"
In the Internet era, a popular joke, basically people who often go online know it, and the audience suddenly felt a little sad when they thought about it, and the life in that paragraph was simply terrible.
Li Qian then asked, "This friend, you shouldn't have reached the age of thirty yet, and you haven't married yet, right?"
"No, I'm 28. The man shook his head.
"But I see that you are dead before you reach thirty!" Li Qian held the microphone and said loudly, "You keep saying that you want to break through yourself and fight, but what I see from your words and deeds is indeed a lifeless person who is overwhelmed by reality, in your own words, you have no soul!"
Suddenly, such a heavy remark made the audience and the audience at the scene a little stunned.
"What's the matter, you're starting to curse while you're talking?"
Li Qian didn't care about the reaction of the audience, and continued, "Although I don't know what you have experienced, I can see that you are escaping from reality, making an excuse for your escape, putting the blame on fate, and taking time to scold the injustice of fate all day long, but you will not reflect on yourself!"
You are only 28 years old, you are not married, and you can still fight with your own hands so that you don't overlap with the life in that paragraph when you are 30 years old.
But you don't, you're waiting, playing games and surfing the Internet every day, waiting for the age of 30 can't drag on, under the urging of your parents and relatives, find someone to live together, you are waiting for death!"
"You're just waiting to die!"
Li Qian's voice kept echoing in the ears of the audience, making him a little trance-like.
"Am I waiting for death?"
He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
But Li Qian didn't give him a chance, sighed and said, "The reason why I don't want to talk about any big truths is that I just don't want to waste my saliva, because few people can listen to what I say."
You said that you saw the struggle against fate from "Truman's World", but you ask yourself, even if you see it, has there been a little change, it is nothing more than a moment of excitement at the time, and then it continues to sink.
Speaking of going back to the movie, the captain who succumbed to fate in your mouth, at least he is much better than you, he accepted fate, but still did not forget his dreams, otherwise a big old man could say those words?
In that case, he is a poet, his dream has always been there, his body accepts fate, doing the work of a captain, but his mind is sticking to his ideals, so everyone will see such a funny scene, a big old man who studies literature and art all day long.
Many people will laugh at him, but this is not a mockery of a person with ideals.
He is not like many people, who have no so-called soul.
In addition, in the movie "Rejuvenation", no character has ever succumbed to fate and reality, fate gave the hero's father a monster baby, and his father accepted it?
The male protagonist was abandoned, and he was cynical?
The fate in many people's mouths is nothing more than something that has happened and cannot be changed, no matter what you think, it is absolutely impossible to change, what happens is what happens.
But what hasn't happened yet, it's in your own hands, you have the ability to change, even if the chance is slim, but the decision is in your own hands, you can't not change it yet, and then complain about fate afterwards.
The characters in the movie do not complain about the misfortune that has happened, but just try to live every day in the future.
Taking a step back, even if you get to that point and live with someone, it's still in your hands to start your life in the future, and you can choose to live a good life instead of going down step by step.
Don't make excuses for your cowardice, as long as you are not dead, every day in the future will be in your own hands, and how you live depends on your own choice. ”
Li Qian's big talk came down, and the audience was stunned on the spot, and in his originally gloomy eyes, he began to struggle.
And the other audience at the scene also heard Li Qian say such a big call for the first time, and they were also stunned, some people didn't think so, and some people gradually had light in their eyes.
After a brief silence, there was a round of applause in the screening room.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Li Qian left the cinema with the crew in a round of applause, returned to the business car, picked up the cup, and poured most of the bottle of hot water
"Whew!"
After saying so much just now, my throat is about to smoke.
Tong Liya took his cup and said with a smile, "If you continue to talk just now, you are about to become a philosopher." ”
"What kind of philosophy to learn, it's just to fool people. Li Qian shook his head.
"I think Director Li said it very well, the fate that cannot be changed is just what has happened, but the future is in your own hands. Chen Kun looked very agreeable.
The other actors also nodded their heads again and again, although every director will tell a bunch of big truths, but there are only a few who are as simple and straightforward as Li Qian said.
Even Jiang Wu, who has a big director's brother, has to admit that his brother Jiang Wen is more pretending, at least to him.
In the face of everyone's compliments, Li Qian just smiled, he was just fooling people just now.
Although there is some truth, what did not happen is in your own hands.
But so what?
It's useless, and you almost can't change the choice in your hands, so those words are just nice to listen to, fooling people.
Li Qian is quite good at fooling people, although he is not very powerful, but it is enough to fool ordinary audiences and make them unconscious.
At the next stop, Li Qian continued to flicker.
......
Another day passed, and Friday's box office was also released on time, the big explosion of word-of-mouth and the approach of the rest day, the box office rose significantly, and it got 176 million in a single day.
More than 300 million in two days, another single-day box office record for a Chinese movie.
However, on Saturday, the first working day, it still dominated most of the film schedule, and the attendance rate of "Rejuvenation", which did not have any rivals, went to a new level, and it was difficult for many places to grab the prime position even in the morning.
203 million in a single day!
broke 200 million in a single day, raising the single-day box office record of Chinese films to 200 million!
At the same time, because the movie may look more sad in a certain aspect, coupled with the evaluation of some pseudo-literary and artistic young people about the movie, one by one is more sad than the other, Li Qian also talked about a lot of positive things during the roadshow, which caused a lot of discussion.
