Chapter 585: Super Line or Diva?
Director Feng's words have a historical basis.
In China, in Director Feng's era, there were no literary films with a box office of more than 300 million.
No!
Even if the box office explodes now, Director Feng will add another 200 million to him, 500 million is enough!
Of course, the box office of "Animal World" of 800 million is not a literary film in Director Feng's opinion.
"Huaguo Partner" is not counted, it is clearly a comedy commercial movie, and with the help of Deng Chao and David Tong, Xu Yuan simply picked up the cheap.
Director Feng predicts that the box office of "The Grandmaster" will definitely not exceed 500 million.
Another important factor is the speed of shooting.
It's so fast!
It's so fast that except for literary films, no film can be so fast.
Don't watch literary films that speak slowly and the plot is slow, but the shooting is quite fast. Because there are no big scenes, and there are no action scenes.
Xu Yuan's "The Grandmaster" was filmed so fast, there must be more literary dramas and fewer fights.
And this name, if there are fewer fights, the audience will never buy it.
In addition, at this time, the special effects can't do much, so the visual effects are not good.
To sum up, there is nothing to do, and 500 million is far away.
If it weren't for the two names Xu Yuan and Meng Xiaoxuan, Director Feng would even want to shout for 200 million!
It happened to be a price for Xu Yuan to engage in that boxing match.
Director Feng's remarks are supported by many people in the industry.
But some self-media expressed skepticism.
They are relatively new media practitioners, more modern in their thinking, and able to keep up with the times. In this day and age, as long as there are gimmicks, it is really not difficult to have three or five billion.
Everything was contested on the night of December 24.
The next day, Christmas.
The box office on the first day of Christmas stalls is freshly released.
The box office of "Rocky Returns" is outrageously low, only eight million!
This almost broke the record for the worst performance of a Hollywood blockbuster in recent years.
However, it is not outrageous.
At least, previous Hollywood blockbusters were menacing, but this time "The Return of Rocky" came after "The Grandmaster" was finalized.
On the one hand, the publicity is insufficient, and on the other hand, it also shows that the producers have no confidence in it and do not plan to spend a lot of money on packaging.
Avengers Media introduced this film and lost a lot of money.
On the other hand, the film is a plot of pure martial arts and clichΓ©d defeat that then awakens and then successfully completes self-redemption. There's no cool special effects in it, what do you want the audience to watch?
Do you see the impact of punching to the flesh?
That kind of rice-style fighting, under the tricky taste cultivated by top martial arts fingers and top fighting stars such as Jackie Chan and Lianjie in the mainland, it is difficult to swallow it at all.
There is no technical fighting, and the domestic audience doesn't even want to watch it.
is diametrically opposed to "The Return of Rocky", which is naturally "The Grandmaster".
The box office on the first day was 150 million!
slapped Director Feng directly in the face.
At present, in China, the box office on the first day exceeded 100 million, but the final box office did not exceed 500 million, only one film.
The poor "Love Five" movie is about to be pulled out and whipped again.
Except for it, all of them are more than half a billion.
Afraid or not!
Less than 20 minutes after the data came out, Director Feng turned off the Vbo comment function.
Maybe his mentality has collapsed.
The next day, the box office moved forward steadily.
500 million in three days, 800 million in the second week.
Preliminary estimates suggest that the total box office should be between 12 and 1.5 billion.
For such a movie, this is definitely a miracle.
Similarly, there is good news from the cold country.
Although the box office is not much, "The Grandmaster" is basically the box office champion of the Christmas stalls in the cold country market.
Meng Xiaoxuan's sassiness in the film made the brain-dead fans of the cold country fanatical.
The fan circle culture over there is ahead of us. Meng Xiaoxuan's support team, which was already in rudiment, was finally officially established after this time, and the card is so big that it is even more domineering than the fan groups of many idol groups.
Over there, the style of a support group reflects the status of their idols in the industry.
If you are popular, your fans should be horizontal.
Meng Xiaoxuan is just popular.
Also pleasantly surprised was the Europa Market.
"The Grandmaster", a typical film containing Chinese culture and rules, did not adapt to the soil and water, and rolled up 50 or 60 million meters of banknotes in the Europa market, and the final benefit is estimated to be not low.
This can be regarded as a very good export performance of mainland films in recent years.
When the results are out, someone will naturally analyze and summarize them.
The famous film critic Brother Niu is very insightful: "To be honest, I am not surprised that a generation of grandmasters has achieved this achievement. A large part of Director Feng's previous conclusions were based on time and past experience. β
"But we all know now that the value of these two things has been compressed to the minimum here in Xu Yuan. He doesn't need experience, and his experience is a success for others. In the same way, he seems to have 48 hours in a day, and what others can shoot in half a year, he can do it in three months, and the quality is better."
"A generation of grandmasters, with the feelings of literary films, the fights of action movies, the special effects of science fiction films, the funny of commercial films, the plot of feature films, and complex movies that combine many advantages. In the history of Chinese cinema, there has never been a film that can perfectly combine the characteristics of so many films. β
"Xu Yuan did it, so he succeeded. β
And Ye Kaiwen, a famous agent in the entertainment industry, expounded his views from the perspective of an actor: "This movie is the first film directed by Xu Yuan, and it is full of gimmicks. β
At the same time, it is also his second major production after "Looking for the Dragon". The lineup is so strong that it even surpasses "Dragon Quest" and "Operation Red Sea", not to mention "Lao Paoer" and "Partner". β
In addition, this is Meng Xiaoxuan's first work in the real sense of the word, because this is a movie with a big heroine. Presumably everyone can also see that whether it is the role or the focus, Meng Xiaoxuan is far more than Xu Yuan, why is this?"
"Because at the end of this year, at the beginning of next year, Meng Xiaoxuan is about to usher in the last period of traffic. In the end, like several other little divas, she is ranked in the super line, or she is standing at the peak of the super line and stepping into the queen with half a foot, or she is directly on the throne of the queen of heaven. This drama has a great effect. β
"In a word, Xu Yuan is not a person, and the favorite girl has no bottom line!"
With Ye Kaiwen's words being made public, the whole network now knows the reason.
Everyone also began to pay attention to Meng Xiaoxuan's process.
Before the Lunar New Year this year, she has eight more concerts.
After eight concerts, what should everyone call her, it's worth waiting and seeing!
β¦β¦
Just when the popularity of "The Grandmaster" was just rising, the second phase of the plan was launched.
Hematopoiesis!
