Not surprisingly, "Boundless" performed very well at the box office. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, Chen Kaige is one of the top directors in China, and this is his masterpiece of sharpening his sword for three years, and with the level of the stars in this movie, it is also worth the audience to buy tickets and go to the cinema to watch it once.

In just half a day, it received a box office of 9.5 million, looking at this posture, it is possible to break through 20 million in one day, maybe the box office record of the first day of the second half of the year just won by "New Police Story" will be broken by this movie.

And "Speed Scandal" was also affected by "Wuji", and the film scheduling rate dropped by six percentage points, but the box office revenue remained at a healthy declining level, and the number of moviegoers did not decline sharply because of the decrease in the film scheduling rate, and the final box office in one morning received 1.9 million, and it is expected that another 5 million today should not be too much of a problem.

Seeing this data, Huayi breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the first wave of box office data, Nie Wei had a bottom in his heart, said goodbye to Wang Zhonglei, and took Luo Kai to the theater secretly for a field trip.

The result was similar to what they thought, and everyone walked in in with great interest and walked out in a daze.

Among them, there are some 'boring' and 'terrible' comments, and of course, there are also praises for the film's grand scenes and beautiful pictures, but these can't cover up the emptiness of the content of the film itself.

In fact, if the movie "Wuji" is split into independent elements, each of its items can be regarded as the top level of Chinese films at this time.

The special effects are gorgeous, the scenes are grand, and the costumes are exquisite.

In fact, there is a philosophy in the storylist, and many of the ideas that Chen Kaige wants to express are also very clear.

Even the strength of the actor is undeniable.

But when these elements come together, they are not compatible.

The scene is very delicate and grand, but the story itself can't support this magnificent and exquisite world, the actors have acting skills, but in the limitation of movie roles, there is a trend of face-painting, which limits the play of actors, and I don't know what Chen Kaige thinks, the characters in it are very exaggerated, and the personality is highlighted, but it is like an NPC set in an RPG game, acting completely according to the routine, but losing the spirituality of the person itself, no matter how exquisite the costumes are, they can't remedy the failure of the role.

When Nie Wei and Luo Kai returned to the company, they immediately went online to read the reviews about the movie.

Nie Wei's blog account followed film critic Li Lu, so when I opened the blog, I saw Li Lu's comments on this movie at first glance.

"This movie is like a skyscraper with no foundation, it has a genius design, it has a grand height, it has a huge body, but there is no foundation enough to support it, so on the surface it looks like this building is so magnificent and gorgeous, but when the wind blows gently, it falls. ”

Li Lu's evaluation is still very sharp, and he didn't save face for Director Chen Da at all, and most of the comments under the film reviews agreed.

"After watching the movie, I was a little confused, it stands to reason that this movie blockbuster should have all the elements, but it just can't make me mention a trace of interest, now think about it, maybe as Sister Tonglu said, such a script can't support the world created by the movie. ”

Chen Kaige collapsed this time, with a literary heart, but he wanted to have a commercial dream, but he didn't understand either of them. ”

"This movie makes people think about a lot of things, and my brain is so tired, in fact, I just want to watch a movie, can I use it like this, a steamed bun has to make me think about what is the meaning behind it for a long time. ”

Regarding the overwhelming negative reviews of "Wu Ji" on the Internet, the media also quickly started to make articles about it.

The most creative non-Xinlang Entertainment, who provoked trouble, directly took out "Speed Scandal", which had the best word-of-mouth performance in the same period, and compared it with "Wuji", and also specially invited a well-known film critic to analyze why the word-of-mouth of the two movies would be so different at the box office.

In the analysis of experts, all the constituent elements of the two films were taken out and compared.

Whether it is investment, special effects, or cast, and even the costumes, props and even the staff in the end, they were compared, and "Wuji" won completely.

However, why there is so much difference in the reputation of the two sides, experts quickly gave the answer, that is, the story told by the movie.

Although the movie "Wuji" has a profound connotation behind it, every line and every action of the actor seems to make the audience guess for a while before turning their brains, on the contrary, the storyline of "Speed Scandal" is simple and clear, to the core, and the structure of the entire movie is perfectly combined again.

This is also the main reason why the audience likes "Speeding Scandal" and is not very interested in "Wuji", because watching a movie ultimately depends on the storyline, which is the core of a movie.

The box office of the day came out quickly, and "Wuji" achieved a first-day box office of 21.15 million, which also broke the first-day box office record of "New Police Story".

When "Wuji" broke the domestic first-day box office record, the box office of "Speed Scandal" rebounded slightly, and the final daily box office data reached 6.2 million, which was the only small surprise for Huayi and Nie.

Now the box office figure of "Speed Scandal" has exceeded 60 million, and this result has lost a lot of suspense for the best new director at the domestic film festival next year.

A very interesting thing happened the next day, "Wuji", which originally showed strong box office strength, was three percentage points lower in terms of film scheduling rate, and compared with "Speed Scandal", which has been screened for more than a week, it has risen by one percentage point.

"The theater chain feels that "Wuji" has a bad reputation and is prone to box office avalanches, so it is appropriate to reduce part of the film scheduling rate and reduce the risk. Wang Zhonglei and Nie Wei chatted casually while eating lunch.

"Can I say that the theater managers are very discerning?" Nie Wei couldn't help but laugh after listening.

"I think so too. Wang Zhonglei also smiled and nodded, the contact between him and Nie Wei has become more and more frequent recently, because Nie Wei's value in his eyes has become higher again.

At the beginning, Nie Wei was just an excellent actor in the eyes of Wang Zhonglei, full of potential, but it still needed time to brew and develop, but then after Nie Wei became the major shareholder of the listed company Xunfei, Nie Wei in his eyes seemed a little mysterious, and because of the huge funds behind Nie Wei, he was also a little jealous of Nie Wei when he showed favor to Nie Wei again.

And with Wang Jinghua's 'betrayal', Nie Wei became the major shareholder of Huayi with a huge amount of money, at this time, Nie Wei was already a qualified partner in the eyes of Wang Zhonglei, especially then Nie Wei brought Shu Chang, Lin Yifei and other stars, and stubbornly supported the shelf of Huayi Agency, and he was grateful to Nie Wei from the bottom of his heart.

Now with the success of "Speed Scandal", Nie Wei's value in his eyes has instantly become higher, what does Huayi rely on to start the price? Isn't it Director Feng's New Year's film?

Now Nie Wei has shown the potential of a great director in the future, and has even stepped into the ranks of great directors with half a foot, which is a new cash cow for Huayi, Wang Zhonglei naturally wants to have a good relationship, so that the other party can stay in Huayi with peace of mind and achieve the goal of win-win.

Although "Speed Scandal" can't compete with a big production like "Wuji" at the box office, in terms of the effect on the participating actors, "Speed Scandal" has left "Wuji" eight streets.

Both of them have caused heated discussions, but the evaluation is in two completely different directions.

"Speed Scandal" has undoubtedly brought a very positive effect to the participating actors, and the starring and even supporting roles have benefited a lot because of it, for example, take Shu Chang as an example, just because of this movie, her popularity has already caught up with Lin Yifei.

Especially in the evaluation of acting skills, Shu Chang has even faintly become the actor with the best reputation among the new four little flowers, it can be said that this work can become her masterpiece, as long as she works hard, the status of a first-line actor is also within reach.

This can be seen from the recent increase in the treatment he received when he participated in business activities.

This also makes many female stars in the circle envious.

On the other hand, the actors of "Wuji" have been criticized by the audience's overwhelming remarks on the Internet in the past two days, not to mention a few foreign actors, and the domestic actors are the most touched.

For example, Xie Tingfeng, on the night of the premiere, he was quite interested in posting a blog to promote "Wuji", and now two days have passed, and his blog has not been updated in any news, and there are more than 100,000 comments under the promotional Weibo, some of which are criticizing his performance in the movie, and more are fans who came to criticize and his fans quarreled.

Although this movie, which he had high hopes for, won against Nie Wei at the box office, the reputation was a mess.

If Nie Wei sees Xie Tingfeng now, he will definitely be surprised that this guy is haggard and unadult-looking in just a few days, and it is no wonder that this work can be said to be Xie Tingfeng's ambitious work, not to mention playing the villain, but also wanting to prove himself through this movie and bring a ray of light to his career that has fallen into a low ebb.

It's a pity that "Wuji" didn't help him achieve his wish.

There is also another person who regrets it, and that is Guan Xiaotong's father.

thought that a big production would add luster to her daughter's resume, but now it seems to be completely counterproductive, although the audience will not blame too much for a little girl's acting skills, but compared to Song Zuer, who is loved by the audience because of "Speed Scandal", Guan Xiaotong's response is much worse.

Even because of the bad reputation of the film, it directly affected the number of advertisements for Guan Xiaotong, and many of them had already intended to cooperate, but many of them were inexplicably canceled, and later Guan Shaozeng asked about the relationship, only to know that some manufacturers who were originally going to cooperate with her daughter felt that Guan Xiaotong's recent reputation had declined, so they canceled the cooperation, and what made him even more depressed was that many contracts were transferred to Song Zuer.

This kind of difference made Guan Shaozeng not eat and sleep well for several days, and he couldn't stop feeling guilty about his daughter, and he regretted his attitude towards Nie Wei more and more.

During this period, Chen Kaige stood up more than once to cheer for his movie, but the audience obviously didn't buy it, and let what he said fall wildly, but everyone should scold or keep scolding.

At a time when the reputation of "Wuji" is so bad that it explodes, the reputation of "Speed Scandal" is getting better and better, and the two have been compared on the Internet and in the media, and the exposure rate during this period has reached the point where no one knows it, even the dozens of years old grandparents know that there are now two movies in the cinema again, one spurned by 10,000 people, and the other sought after by 10,000 people.

This also made the already declining box office of "Speed Scandal" enter a recovery period.

But what's interesting is that even if the reputation of "Wuji" is so bad that it explodes, its box office data has been performing very well, and I don't know what the audience thinks, maybe it's a kind of rebellious psychology, the more people say bad on the Internet, the more people watch it, and in just one week, "Wuji" has caught up with the box office figures of "Speed Scandal" for two weeks.

"Wu Ji" grossed 82 million in the first week, while "Speed Scandal", which was released for nearly two weeks, had a box office figure of 81.6 million.

Although "Wuji" crushed "Speed Scandal" in terms of box office figures, in terms of revenue, "Speed Scandal" is not much worse than "Wu Ji".

You must know that "Wuji" has invested more than 300 million, and under the high cost, he must harvest a huge box office to be profitable, 82 million seems like a lot, but it is nothing compared to the shooting cost of "Wuji", and in the face of the huge negative word-of-mouth now, no one dares to guess how long the box office of "Wuji" can last.

And the investors of "Wuji" have long known that there is no way to recover the cost at home, and they have already set their goals abroad.

The production cost of "Speed Scandal" is only 10 million, and the cost of the film has been recovered in two days, and the rest of the income is all profitable, although it will be divided by half of the cinema company and the cinema, but the remaining money is enough for Huayi to make a lot of money.

What's more, the overseas performance of "Speed Scandal" is not bad, especially in the Asian part, there are already many film companies who want to buy the overseas rights of this film, and even a Korean film company wants to buy the remake rights of this movie, and the sincerity given by the other party is also full, but Huayi has not accepted it immediately, everything is being negotiated, but it is conceivable that the overseas income of this film is definitely a lot.

Now Huayi is waiting for "Speeding Scandal" to sprint towards 100 million yuan, and Wang Zhonglei is even ready for a celebration banquet. (To be continued.) )
