Box office!

These two words may be the things that almost everyone is most concerned about after the upcoming release of "Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness" - for the performance of a commercial film, the box office is the only criterion for testing the truth, especially today, such as the case of bad movies getting high box office is becoming more and more unreliable, and half a day is enough for word-of-mouth to spread across the Internet, and the self-limitation of the market can be basically realized.

A high box office represents a good movie with strong watchability, which is basically the case.

"3 billion. Before Xu Zheng attended the premiere, he gathered in Shanghai with Huang Bo and Ning Hao, and there was no doubt that the topic of box office was discussed.

Huang Bo was not surprised by this number at all: "If it is 3 billion, it shouldn't be particularly successful, right?"

Ning Hao laughed a few times, making Huang Bo look sideways.

Xu Zheng also symbolically "hehehe" for a while.

"Hey, what do you mean by that? What's wrong with me?"

Xu Zheng shook his head and touched his bald head: "The 3 billion I said is the bottom line, and it has nothing to do with success or not." The opening schedule of "The Great Wilderness" is at least more than 80%, and no second film dares to compete with it. The number of people I wanted to see, the staff told me that it had exceeded 10 million...... In the past two years, there have been many rounds of news bombardment, and I can't count them, that is, Ji Ming, I don't need to change the movie, and I have already been sprayed to death. But even if it's him, it's a lot of pressure now, if the reputation doesn't reach a certain level, there will be no backlash. ”

The little eyes blinked, Huang Bo didn't hear the latter things, they are all old people in the circle, what is the backlash or not, there are few people who are qualified to be back-eaten, he is a little interested in numbers: "3 billion is the bottom line, that is to say, it will definitely be able to reach this number?"

"Of course, 600 to 800 million on the first day is a high probability, and it is not unthinkable to break 1 billion in a single day in the first week. ”

"Oh no. ”

After that, the three of them were silent for a while, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this trend was very likely.

“...... If so, how many?"

Xu Zheng and Ning Hao glanced at each other and stretched out a finger.

"10 billion?"

"It should be said that how big the volume is, how big the box office number will be. When "Wolf Warrior 2" hits 5.6 billion, can you imagine? "The Great Wilderness" hits 10 billion, is it impossible?"

"It's only been a few years, 10 billion? That's 1.4 billion US dollars, according to a ticket, it's 3D, IMAX is more, 50 yuan is okay, right? That's 200 million people, 200 million-"

"Ha," Ning Hao let out a long sigh: "Don't you think it's not so impossible?" "Wolf Warrior 2" is 160 million. ”

Silent.

The volume of a single slice to 10 billion is too amazing. Now the total annual box office of the country is only more than 70 billion, and the number of moviegoers is only close to 2 billion - if everything is as Xu Zheng said, a movie "The Great Wilderness" will cut one-seventh to one-eighth of the total box office, and more than one-tenth of the moviegoers, which is really a gold-swallowing giant.

"If you think about it again, the current "Avengers 4", with $2.8 billion, is still the first in film history. If "The Great Wilderness" has 1.4 billion US dollars in China and 600 million to 700 million US dollars overseas, it will most likely surpass "Avengers 3" and rank among the top five box office in global film history!" Xu Zheng stretched out a hand and stretched out his five fingers: "This is Ji Ming's achievement in expanding the territory for domestic commercial films, high, right? What is it above, "Star Wars", "Titanic", "Avatar", "Avengers 4" - if someone tells you that the box office figures of a domestic film may be tied with them, you will probably think that person is crazy. ”

"I think you're crazy now, too. Huang Bo shook his head: "You think too well, 10 billion in China, that's too difficult, the ceiling is not so easy to break." As for the six or seven billion US dollars abroad, although he has the foundation of "Mo", Ji Ming's popularity overseas is comparable to that of Hollywood, and it is not an easy thing, how can it be as relaxed and casual as you say. ”

"That's why I say that's the standard of success. ”

"It's too high. ”

For Ji Ming, this is the standard, and for the expectations of the domestic public, the global box office of 2 billion US dollars is not something that is unthinkable. Xu Zheng took a deep breath: "So it's difficult for him." He has been working on this film for two years, not to mention me, Haozi also knows how much work Ji Ming has done and how harsh it is. The engineers who are crazy are not one or two, they are counted on the company, one company is crazy, and the company is crazy, and the company continues to be crazy after changing companies, haha. There are also those who are engaged in art and design...... I've heard the word 'brutal' more than once. In the past, when Ji Ming was mentioned, at most he said that he was a little devilish and violent when he was teaching drama. What's more, or is he humble and polite, good-tempered, good-natured, and good-charactered, right?"

"That's right. Huang Bo thought about it and found that he had actually heard a few complaints about Ji Ming: "Haha, it's really true." ”

"That's how the majesty stands. Ning Hao sighed: "When I talked to the Film Bureau and those units, I saw that they were also a little stunned by Ji Ming, which was quite enjoyable." ”

"Alas, some people are hand chiefs, but Ji Ming is registered again. ”

"Speaking of which, when I was filming "Crazy Alien", Xu Zheng, you still wanted to help Ji Ming get a role," Ning Hao suddenly remembered the past: "At that time, I said that there was no suitable one." I remember it seems like he just finished making a cameo in your "God of Medicine"? right? It's only been a few years, or are we sitting here and guessing if someone's new movie will have a domestic box office of 10 billion, a global box office of 15 billion, haha, God?"

"God, he is a god himself, look forward and look out, there is no second one. ”

The three of them talked for a while, and they couldn't tell whether they were worried about Ji Ming or envious of something - but when it came to it, it still depended on the answer given by the market.

Discussing the box office before and after the premiere, not only the three of them, but so many people with relevant interests must be very concerned. Investment, production, starring, broadcasting, want to take advantage of it, want to get a light, want to rub the heat...... In short, these are waiting for the box office, and they are all talking about the box office.

But the king of the world of "Mountains and Seas", the leader of the storm of public opinion, the ultimate hope of the investment group, the undefeated, Yin Ning's son, Chu Qing's husband, the bright pearl of the dormitory of the four Chinese opera tyrants, the master of the soul of the Silent Lake Troupe, and the legendary creator - Ji Ming, is not worried about the box office.

Chu Qing asked him if he was worried - yes, he stayed with Chu Qing, not with Yang Ruyi and them, which proved his attitude. Ji Ming looked at the fourth golden scale on his wrist, it may be that "Mountains and Seas" is a series, or it may be that there are too many people who have made wishes to him in too many ways.

Breaking the domestic box office record.

Sweeping Europe.

Conquer Hollywood Basecamp.

Red.

Big Bang.

......

And so on...... Exaggerated to the point of finally opening a new golden scale on the wrist. The first few pieces, the first one is infinite future, the second one is the love with Chu Qing, and the third one is all skills on stage +1 buff, and this fourth one is so specific "The "Mountains and Seas" series was a great success. ”

Ji Ming really has no need to worry about this - in a sense, in the past two years, he has driven infinite hanging, splitting mountains and seas, turning countless impossible possibilities into possibilities, and turning countless moats into thoroughfares...... still almost drove himself crazy, in fact, he is laying the foundation for the success of this unparalleled wish. He couldn't imagine what kind of terrible punishment he would give if Koi judged that he was not aggressive enough to fail in his wish, maybe it would be to cut off his entire acting career.

Everything that can be done has been done, Ji Ming still wants it, what else can he worry about?

"Don't worry. ”

When he saw Chu Qing's eyes, he was actually very quiet.

"You're not worried?"

Chu Qing laughed a few times and leaned on his shoulder: "Do you think I don't worry about you at all?"

Ji Ming also smiled, didn't answer her, just grabbed her hand, rubbed it back and forth gently, then held her palm, rubbed it a few times on the tip of her index finger, took it, and touched it on her lips.

"I'm not worried, because I believe in you, and I'm sure that whatever the outcome, there will be no diminution in the pride you bring to me. Chu Qing choked up a little, she laughed, and smiled as she remembered the minutes and seconds of the past two years. In this world, there are actually not many things, more touching than a person with talent, chance, diligence, and perfection, outstanding achievements, and a legendary body, who still exerts all his wisdom and strength to break through the shackles and make an unparalleled career.

People who are better than you work harder than you, this sentence is too simple for Ji Ming. In other words, it would be more appropriate for people who have stood at the end of the vast majority of people's lives to climb more desperately than the vast majority of people.

It looks like it's just a movie, but the truth behind it is not an exaggeration.

This feeling, in fact, after the premiere, several people have said, I don't know if it's an exaggeration or not - "People do things in the future now, it's extraordinary for extraordinary people", "Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness" appeared ten years later, twenty years later, maybe it is more reasonable, that is, it should appear thirty or fifty years after the establishment of the domestic commercial film market. Including Hollywood, in fact, it has to follow such a time law, and to break this law, of course, it takes unimaginable effort and unparalleled talent.

......

On the first day of release, the box office page of Maoyan Professional Edition collapsed for a while, and the real-time box office mini-program of the special fund office was even more unbearable and lay flat early.

Many people's screenshots are stuck at the figure of more than 620 million, this is a pre-sale, and the pre-sale has exceeded 600 million - this number has set a new record in the single-day box office list, including "Avengers 4", "Wolf Warrior 2", "The Wandering Earth" and other god films, when "The Great Wilderness" was not officially released, it was beaten to pieces.

This is the magic of commercial blockbusters, and "Mo" and "Immortals" can't do it anyway.

"It's like an omen, lifting a corner of the curtain in advance before the indescribable frenzy of "The Great Wilderness", allowing us to feel the horror and madness of that frenzy in advance, as well as the legendary process destined to go down in film history. - "Movie Box Office" posted a Weibo with this pre-sale screenshot.

"I don't know why I'm a little excited. ”

"I've been watching the box office for many years, and I'm really excited this time, I first watched the box office of "Thai Embarrassment", and then "Wolf Warrior 2", "Red Sea", "The Wandering Earth", "Mo", "Nezha", ...... But nothing like this one. ”

"This is a collective carnival, "The Great Wilderness" can set off this kind of collective carnival participation, and there is no need to worry about it at the box office. As long as Ji Ming maintains a consistent level, or even a slight loss of color in commercial films, it will not affect its box office success. ”

- "It's definitely a collective carnival, I haven't seen a movie, just by relying on the name of the movie itself, you can run to the first place on the hot search list, and it can also explode purple." Even if it is Ji Ming's previous movies, it can't be done. ”

However, the frozen box office interface will not affect the increase in the number reported by theaters.

One-eyed Lang even opened an official live broadcast and came to a Hongxin Cinema in the capital, because there were too many people, and some of them were Kaka.

"Although it's a zero-point field, but you see, it's crowded, and it's crowded to my 5G signal, if you feel stuck, you can exit and come back in to try it." We've got the theater manager in place to talk to us. Hello, Manager Tang, there are so many people now, most of them should be here for "The Great Wilderness", right?"

"Haha," Manager Tang was a very young man with thick hair, and when he heard the question, he laughed: "Not most, it should be said that it is all." Today, we have no exclusive films in the zero point field, only "Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness". ”

"Ah, then, you may not see much of this kind of scene yourself?"

"EM is like this, the zero point field is sought after, in fact, it is not nothing, for example, there are some Valentine's Day films, or Spring Festival files, and there are slightly fewer summer files, these are mainly because you may want to see it for the first time, and then you can't buy tickets tomorrow, so they are all crowded at zero o'clock. Of course, we haven't counted the number of people in "The Great Wilderness", but it should be the most among all the films. ”

"You just said you can't buy tomorrow's tickets, so tomorrow's tickets are already on sale?"

"Basically, it's not much, in cities like Beijing and Shanghai, the pre-sale system is relatively perfect, and it is estimated that it is almost the same. Maybe in third- and fourth-tier cities, some theaters that are used to buying at the scene will also have tickets. And if you look at the box office, it should be more than 700 million now, and the single film has run to 700 million, which is terrifying. ”

"Well, thank you. ”

The live broadcast reporter then picked a few people who watched the movie and asked the same question, "How can you run to watch it at zero o'clock, and the answers are consistent and varied." ”

"Ji Ming's film. ”

"I don't have a ticket for a good place tomorrow. ”

"My girlfriend is a fan of Ji Ming. ”

"I want to take a look at the upper limit of domestic special effects blockbusters, haha, Ji Ming did it, I feel that the level of this film should represent what level we can achieve in China? ”

"I watched the promo and it was amazing. ”

"The texture is so good, judging from the material, so I can't help it. ”

"It's not too late, I usually don't go to bed until three o'clock. ”

"Our family lives right next door. "- local tyrant, make a friend, the housing prices here are not cheap.

"Look early and satisfy your cravings early. ”

"It's in my must-see catalog, so it's all about to be seen. ”

"Want to be the first to see our own epic magic blockbuster. ”

"The main thing is that I like to watch fantasy fairy, and I always felt that the movies made with this theme couldn't be compared with my brain at all, so I wasn't interested. I've seen some trailers this time, and I think it's very consistent, it's that kind of texture, you know? It's very advanced, it's very fantasy. Especially there is an image of a merman in it.,I've seen it before.,It's all about making a little fin on the ear.,And then get a mermaid's tail.,And then blue hair.,Upper body armor or something.,It's very boring.,It's just a human pretend.。

But in "The Great Wilderness", it was played by Liu Ran, the scales spread from the tip of the nose to the scalp, the structure of the entire face has been adjusted, mysterious and advanced, there are fins connected between the arms and the body, and the bottom is not the kind of old-fashioned mermaid tail, but is shrouded in shark silk, moving forward like a current, too handsome. And the shark silk, as well as the embellishment of the upper body shark beads, are super textured. This one is obviously a fanatic, and he talks a lot.

The word texture has been said several times, and it also says the key.

In the live broadcast room, netizens with good Internet users also expressed their approval again and again.

"Yes, yes, yes, this movie doesn't say anything else, the texture is really super good, and you can see that it cost a lot of money when you see it. ”

"500 million special effects. ”

"The merman, the phoenix, and the little Bai Ze, all of them are great. ”

"It's one word: cow beep. ”

This person who is not good at math is fortunate to attract hundreds of "attention" in the live broadcast room that quickly swipes the screen: "That's two words, math is taught by Doraemon, right?" - the robot cat only has a fist and no fingers.

"I'll go see it tomorrow. ”

"Me too, no, it should be today. ”

Such a hot zero-point field and pre-sale actually gave everyone a box office expectation - 1 billion on the first day may not be reached, after all, it is a working day. Because the more pre-sales, the smaller the box office potential, after all, there are so many shows, everyone buys in advance, and there will be fewer more later.

may be more than 800 million, less than 900 million on the first day of the box office - this number has already exceeded Xu Zheng's rough prediction.

However, when everyone began to usher in the weekend on the evening of the first day, the real-time box office of recovery began to accelerate suddenly - the 900 million, which was originally thought to be impossible, officially broke through at half past seven, and at half past eight, 1 billion arrived.

Shocking!!

The movie box office gentleman first discovered the reason: "After looking at the latest city box office distribution, as well as the box office ratio, I should find the reason, the third, fourth and fifth tier cities have exploded!! God, I really don't know what will happen now, I haven't seen such a vigorous box office in the fifth-tier cities - small town youth, did you go to the theater en masse?"

"Hahaha, sixteen of us from the entire department went to see it together, and we just bought the ticket. Coordinates: A fifth-tier small town in a province in the southwest. ”

"I am also a fifth-line, a big family organized by my mother, she is Ji Ming's mother fan, and she is very enthusiastic. ”

"High school students, our class went to thirty-six. ”

"The circle of friends is all about going to the movies - I've never seen it, and I'm going to watch it, otherwise I'm afraid I won't talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Hahahaha, let me tell you, I drove three cars with more than a dozen people in our village, and went to the county seat to watch a movie at night, and I went crazy. ”

As long as you read these comments once, you will know how deep "The Great Wilderness" is, from the financial talents overlooking the Huangpu River in Lujiazui, to the ruthless code god with a monthly income of 100,000 yuan in Zhongguancun, from the drunken young lady in the nightclub bar, to the little brother who eats chicken with cold noodles in the Internet café...... From the entrepreneurial space without day and night, to the individual façade that is anxious when the roller shutter door is opened, from the public institution that is stable from 9 to 5, to the scattered villages connected by a cement road...... It's all the rivers and mountains that I have built.

What is 1 billion, "The Great Wilderness" has made a single-day box office record on Friday to 1.28 billion - this number, the third in history.

Saturday, 1.6 billion, first.

Sunday, 1.68 billion, reversed, the new first.

In the first three days, 4.56 billion!

and a Taomao score of more than 9.8, a Douban score of 9.5, a 100% Weibo V recommendation - and a good reputation like a frenzy of patting the shore.

"The treasure house of Chinese myths and legends has been truly opened. ”

"The standard for domestic epic mythological films. ”

"Thirty years ahead in the country. ”

"Catch up with the Premier League overnight. ”

"Hollywood really counts as a ball. ”

"Sure enough, when the Chinese begin to do a good job in China, foreigners can take a break, and Hollywood is no exception." ”

"The best appearance of domestic commercial blockbusters in my dreams is not as good as Ji Ming's real works - what is a cow beep? It is to do things that others dare not think of and can't think of. ”

"Where our imagination can't reach, Ji Ming made people out of the earth and created the world. ”

"If I don't give birth to Ji Ming, I'll do it. ”

When everyone's hearts landed, there wasn't much ecstasy - although everyone was scared, when the time came to really usher in success, everything seemed to be in order. They all looked out the window, in a certain direction, at the person who wasn't there.

That's the brutal Ji Ming, but:

The brutal Ji Ming also shed tears on the set and didn't say a word for a day.

The brutal Ji Ming also cut hundreds of pieces in a row and was sent away.

The brutal Ji Ming also came to the door, begging for food and mockery.

The brutal Ji Ming also looked around blankly, and he insisted for some reason.

The brutal Ji Ming also despised himself, saying that the drama was on his nose and face.

......

Mixed tastes.

Even sending a WeChat message to say "congratulations" is particularly heavy on the tips of my fingers.

......

"Just this once," Ji Ming listened to Yang Ruyi's report, put the materials on the table, and leaned back: "Making a movie was originally a very self-conscious thing, but now it has become a national project, which is also inexplicable." ”

Yang Ruyi laughed for a while, and also felt that the pressure in the past two years was too great and abnormal.

How did it become like this, it has to do with Ji Ming as a person, it has to do with this theme, and it has to do with the inexplicable success of "Mo" overseas, and of course, it is also related to the ideas of some big names...... In short, it is such a hodgepodge. Ji Ming actually thought about it, and if he refuses to get rid of some of it, of course it can be more pure, but the resources that can be mobilized are much less, one person, one company, one film project, on the basis of the imperfect infrastructure of the film industry, it is impossible to achieve such perfection today.

Another koi won't do.

So he took it.

But the general trend has been achieved, and he is about to cross the river and demolish the bridge, of course, not to invest in people, but not to interfere with people - whether it is the "Mountains and Seas" series or other film projects, they must return to Tiancheng, instead of a grandfather with a lot of central prefixes behind him.

Success or failure, inside and outside the wall, sorry, follow the fate.

In fact, in terms of volume, a movie is really not big, people can buy a piece of land for tens of billions, isn't it still a contract foreman to pull migrant workers to lay bricks and fill cement.

Along with the box office figures, there is also an overwhelming amount of news - the Internet era is the cheapest information, so it is flooded.

After 4.56 billion in the first week, the final domestic box office soared above the 10.5 billion mark, with $1.5 billion.

More than $500 million in Europe, $300 million in North America, $200 million in Asia, Oceania and other regions – and the overseas box office will exceed $1 billion.

The first part of "Mountains and Seas", "The Great Wilderness", has a total global box office of more than 2.5 billion US dollars! "Titanic", which has been released twice, ranks third, second only to Hollywood's superhero peak "Avengers 4" and the special effects milestone "Avatar".

“...... In the global box office charts of film history, we see a new name, which does not belong to Hollywood, does not belong to the United States. Yes, just like the market capitalization rankings of technology companies, the valuation rankings of unicorns, and even GDP, the size of the consumer market, and international influence...... And so on, they come from China. This is a new example of China's growing influence, and this time it comes from what we often call soft power.

A domestic special effects film that tells the story of traditional Chinese myths and traditions has achieved record box office figures in North America, Europe, Japan and South Korea, transcending the barriers of skin color and culture – in the eyes of globalists, all this could not be more perfect. And with skeptics, this is not very good, in fact, a lot of rhetoric is enough to prove it.

Regardless, the Mountains and Seas series has been a success and is likely to continue to do so. Ji Ming, a global idol and superstar from China, will also tell all teenagers and girls who have dreams of stardom that in addition to Hollywood, a new dream-making place has emerged. —Time.

As it said, "The Great Wilderness" first relied on Ji Ming's overseas popularity, but it soon fed back to him - after this movie, the young and excessively young Venice actor began to truly become a global icon, just like Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise They did, the difference is that he is not from and has never been to Hollywood.

Even, throughout his entire career, he has not been there.

A year and a half later, "Mountains and Seas: Qingqiu Fox Country" turned the image of the nine-tailed fox, an oriental beast, into one of the most well-known beasts in the world, surpassing King Kong, Godzilla and so on.

Another year later, "Mountains and Seas: Central Country" set a new box office record in global film history, pushing the box office volume of a single film to more than 3 billion US dollars, as high as 3.5 billion, and it was also the first time that the overseas box office was higher than the domestic box office.

Two years later, the filming location of the "Mountains and Seas" series in a central province was completed and opened as a mountain and sea park, and soon became one of the domestic attractions that attracted the most international tourists.

And Ji Ming, he is getting richer and richer.
