This year's summer file is known as the biggest victory for domestic films under the invasion of Hollywood movies in recent years.

"The Avengers", which is regarded as the biggest tiger of the year, was not able to create a real box office miracle, and until the next painting, its final box office did not exceed "Mission Impossible 4", and it was nearly twice as short as the "big ship" that sailed again after many years.

As a result, the tiger in the mouth of the media once again focused on the "big ship".

It is under such a premise that in the summer file after June, three domestic movies suddenly broke out.

First, "The Great Gold Robbery" broke 200 million in the first three days, and then "literary comedies" like "Killing" broke 100 million, and the premiere results even surpassed "Avengers" and "Mission Impossible 4", second only to the "big ship".

And two weeks after its release, the momentum is still unabated, and the two have joined forces to crush the Hollywood blockbusters "Madagascar 3" and "The Hunger Games" released in mid-June.

No, it's not just these Hollywood blockbusters, but all the movies that came out this month have become stepping stones for these two films.

This situation lasted until the release of "Painted Skin 2" at the end of the month, and finally changed.

"Painted Skin 2" is an IP movie, and it is a classic sequel, and it is a superstar that gathers a large number of superstars, which can be said to be destined to break out and get a high box office, and was even once considered to be the most likely work to fight against the "big boat" this year.

And it did not live up to people's expectations, with a box office of more than 250 million on the first Wednesday, directly surpassing "The Great Gold Robbery" and becoming the most domestic film this year.

Such a result is amazing enough for a layman, but insiders know very well that such a box office is actually a little far from expected.

In the analysis and prediction of professionals, the box office of "Painted Skin 2" should be able to exceed 300 million in the first week, and the gap between the box office of 50 million is not a small amount.

So, when those professionals analyzed why the box office of "Painted Skin 2" did not meet expectations, in addition to discovering the film's own plot and other problems, two names appeared in their sight again.

"The Great Gold Robbery" and "Killing".

These two movies that are about to be drawn seem to have had a big impact on the box office of "Painted Skin 2".

"The Great Gold Robbery" will be released on June 1st, and in the case of not extending the key, it will be drawn on July 1st, which means that "Painted Skin 2" will be drawn just after the first week of release.

In the last three days, "The Great Gold Robbery", which originally had only a few hundred thousand dollars left at the daily box office, actually rebounded a small amount against the trend, especially in the last two days, and actually exceeded one million for two consecutive days.

The same situation is also "Killing", which was released on June 8, and the next painting time is also later, of course, this is not the point, the point is that after the release of "Painted Skin 2", especially with the passage of time, the box office of "Killing" has also experienced a lot of contrarian increases.

Of course, the overall increase of the two movies together will definitely not reach 50 million, but it is undeniable that "Painted Skin 2" did not meet expectations, which must have a certain relationship with the increase of these two movies.

This is a very strange phenomenon, after a series of research, various experts can only come to the conclusion that although "Painted Skin 2" is full of big names and is a classic sequel, its own quality is not too good, whether it is from the story or the acting skills of the actors or even the special effects, etc., it is not as good as the first one, which has led to a plummeting reputation of this movie, and its score has been reduced to 6 points in the second week of release.

In comparison, the quality of "The Great Gold Robbery" and "Killing" is quite good.

When "The Great Gold Robbery" was first released, the online score was 7.8 points, although it was also declining, but the rate of decline was very slow, and the overall score was stable, until the next painting, the score was still above 7 points, reaching 7.3 points.

And "Killing" is actually much stronger than "The Great Gold Robbery" in terms of ratings, with a score of 8.5 points at the time of release, and after a period of decline in the middle, it dropped to 7.2 points at the lowest, but in the later stage, especially with the release of "Painted Skin 2", its score actually rose against the trend like the box office.

Until the final painting, the score of "Killing" rushed to 8 again, and it stopped steadily at the high score of 8.

You know, for the network score, being able to reach more than 8 points is already a classic!

This situation is in line with the old saying that only when there is contrast can it hurt.

On July 1st, "The Great Gold Robbery" was officially drawn, and the final box office was 730 million, becoming the second place in the domestic box office ranking this year - second only to the 948 million of the big ship.

On July 8th, "Killing" was painted, and the final box office was 320 million, although it was more than 1 times worse than "The Great Gold Robbery", but it still caused quite a stir - it set a record for the box office of domestic literary films.

Yes, "Killing" was finally classified into the category of "literary films", and Guan Hu, who originally wanted to prove his commercial value through "The Chef's Drama and the Ruffian", proved himself in advance.

As for Ning Hao, he took advantage of such a terrifying box office to sit firmly on the throne of "the first director of domestic commercial films", and at this moment, his fame even surpassed that of Zhang Guoshi, Xiaogang Cannon and other old-timers.

It was also at this time that Zhang Bufan, who had won enough literary and artistic honors, once again reaped his commercial honors - he became the highest-grossing screenwriter in China, and there was no one!

As a result, the media that were still promoting "Zhang Bufan fought left and right in the summer file and beat himself" all changed their tone overnight.

Zhang Bufan's claim to dominate the summer file suddenly occupied the headlines of major media.

At the same time, Zhang Bufan himself, Tong Liya, and even Guan Hu, Ning Hao, and Huang Bo have all received various interview invitations, but no matter who is interviewed, the core topic is around one person - Zhang Bufan.

As a screenwriter, it has caused such a terrifying topic and attracted so many media to catch up, which is undoubtedly unprecedented, and even many professionals who specialize in the entertainment industry are puzzled by this.

In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that although he is a screenwriter, he is different from other screenwriters who are obscure and dedicated to creation, he himself has a lot of entertainment attributes and topics, and in places such as Weibo, he is originally a "star", and even has the ability to drive topics that many other first-line stars do not have.

Therefore, you can't simply see him as a screenwriter, and similarly, you can't simply see him as a star, he is more like a collective, a unique collection that has developed in the entertainment industry to this day.

Then, just when people were looking for this "collective", he had silently returned to the crew like an ordinary screenwriter, cooperating with the filming of the remaining content and the creation of new scripts.

Yes, this product carried forward the good habit of "killing and burying" that he often did on Weibo, and disappeared while creating an exaggerated box office in reality.
