Chapter 508: First Day Box Office

In May, only the two movies "Wolf Warrior" and "Water Cube" are corresponding, and the other movies are not worth mentioning.

The eyes of the Chinese media finally focused on "Wolf Warrior".

"Wolf Warrior" has 38% of the film schedule, which can be said to be the highest film schedule that local films have received under the impact of imported films in recent years, although it is still not as good as "Water Cube", but there is only a 6% gap, which is not irreparable.

Perhaps, the box office of "Wolf Warrior" is really likely to overwhelm "Water Cube"?

"I watched the movie "Water Cube", which is a popcorn movie, the plot is rough, not logical, and the special effects are piled up randomly, and there are no beautiful women, so it is not a qualified popcorn movie at all. ”

This is Zhang Guo's evaluation of this movie.

Hollywood movies are like that, very industrial, but at least other special effects blockbusters are pleasing to the eye, but "Water Cube" makes people sleepy, which is why he lost in North America.

On the contrary, the rating of "Wolf Warrior" is very high, and such a movie will be touted as soon as it comes out, but if there are more people who like it, it will be rejected by others.

Because "everyone is drunk and I am sober, everyone is turbid and I am clear" has always been the norm for many people, and they don't like the minority, but the forced style.

If there are so many people who like the niche, and they are really so die-hard, then the box office of literary movies is very high? Popcorn movies should hit the streets? So who are the people who buy tickets for business?

Or are there some people who watch commercial blockbusters while flaunting the niche?

There should be a lot of such people, who claim to be niche on the Internet and honestly watch popcorn movies in real life.

"I just watched the wolf warrior, it came out with tears, there is no moment more patriotic than this time, if I am asked to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy at this moment, I will definitely rush forward, because the whole person is completely burned. ”

"There is a country that has risen from hardship and hardship, defeated the Sixteen-Nation Alliance at the beginning of its founding, defeated YD in '62, repelled Big Brother in '69, and crippled YN in '79 – even when it met the superpowers, it never backed down even a single step, and even when it confronted the whole world, it never had a defeat. She is our great motherland!"

"China has always been a country of etiquette, treat people with courtesy, and convince people with virtue, but this does not mean that we are weak and can be bullied, in the words of Taizu: "If people do not offend me, I will not offend others;

This film is named "Wolf Warrior", and its intention is self-evident. As we all know, the name of the Han nationality comes from the Han Dynasty, and there are three deafening words in the Han Empire that still circulate to this day: "Those who commit crimes against the strong Han will be punished even if they are far away", "Kou can do, I will also recover; Kou can go, I will go back", "Han Bing prestige, the total rate of all countries, the sun and the moon shine, all are concubines". ”

"China has sunk for nearly a hundred years, and now it is rising in a peaceful way, and it is developing rapidly in all aspects, but we must not lose the spirit and blood of the wolf, it should be integrated into our blood and become part of our national genes. ”

"The whole process is tightly paced and full of ignition, from the beginning of the underwater fight, to the supermarket fight, to the street violence, to the hospital fight, to the town chase battle, and then to the factory decisive battle, one ring after another, the blood is burning, the climax is repeated, playing the true character of a man, and also playing the dignified national prestige, once a wolf warrior, then a wolf warrior for life!"

"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, what else can you say but beautiful? ”

……………………

Ning Que also watched this movie, and he was convinced when he saw it.

The background of the wolf warrior is on the African continent, Leng Feng opened the "protagonist halo" as soon as he appeared, and captured the pirates with his own strength to save the entire merchant ship; when the whole ship arrived at the destination safely, the big drama had just been staged, and the terrorists came as soon as they said it, from the supermarket to the streets, the sound of gunfire, blood and cries turned out to be the "main theme", and the whole city and even the whole country were in chaos, the flames of war were raging, diseases were raging, and the people were in dire straits, and the day was in danger.

"Although Leng Feng is open, it's very cool to watch!"

"And the rice blockbuster can be opened? Why can't our army open it?"

Many Chinese people have a deeper understanding from "Wolf Warrior".

You may be dissatisfied with some of the current situation in your motherland, but you have to admit that you are so happy to be able to live in the safest country!

When the US Embassy chose to close its doors, all the personnel of the Chinese Embassy were doing their best to shelter overseas Chinese, and the Navy even dispatched an aircraft carrier group.

There is a more interesting plot here, when Rich was still fantasizing about waiting for the rescue of the US imperialists, but what was waiting for was the lion on the grassland, Leng Feng took the opportunity to joke: "The Marines are here to pick you up." ”

If you think that this is in YY, then you are very wrong, looking back at the Yemen evacuation incident in 2015, the Chinese Navy directly sent 2 Type 054A frigates, and the US imperialists at that time did not have a plan to evacuate overseas Chinese at all.

In previous Hollywood blockbusters, the US imperialists always regarded themselves as the world's policemen, looked at everything from God's point of view, and continuously exported values, but in this film, this situation is reversed, which not only reflects the strength of China and the United States, but also demonstrates a kind of cultural self-confidence.

When the lives of overseas Chinese are seriously threatened, it will always be your motherland that stands behind you, so when the soldiers uphold the belief that "those who kill our people are our natural enemies", when the Type 052D destroyer launches cruise missiles to destroy enemy tanks, and when the five-star red flag becomes a safe pass, there is a hot current rising from the bottom of the heart, and inadvertently soaking the eyes.

In fact, this film is not deliberately sensational, but as the plot progresses layer by layer, it makes the whole story have a temperature, therefore, this sensationalism is the deepest and makes you want to stop.

Zhang Guo asked Xu Qian: "Brother Qian, you don't really think that this movie can exceed 5 billion box office, do you?" ”

Xu Qian: "Why not?"

In fact, many people have always underestimated the influence of "Wolf Warrior", and always thought that "Wolf Warrior" was only as simple as a box office of 5.6 billion, and of course the box office of 5.6 billion was already very, very awesome.

But the results of "Wolf Warrior" are not like this.

Is Wolf Warrior 2 just a box office hit?

No.

In the early morning of the day when the Wolf Warrior 2 network was launched, millions of people watched online at the same time, and so far, the number of webcasts has exceeded 2 billion, far ahead.

The highest ratings of Wolf Warrior 2 in the premiere broke 3, winning the annual ratings championship, the top ten annual ratings of Six Princess Channel, Wolf Warrior accounted for 5, the top fifteen, and the Wolf Warrior series accounted for half.

Maoyan has a ticket purchase score of 9.7 for 5 million people, ranking first among domestic films.

Tao Piao Ticket 5 million people bought tickets with a score of 9.5, ranking first among domestic films.

Wolf Warrior 2 has 160 million viewers, which is the world's single-market number of people, accounting for 11.42% of China's total population.

With a box office of 5.68 billion, Wolf Warrior 2 is the box office champion in Chinese film history, the sixth in the world of the year, the first box office in Asian films, the first box office of non-English films, and the only non-Hollywood film in the top 100 in world box office history.

In other words, the data of Wolf Warrior 2 crushes other movies almost in all directions, including the data after the release, without any shortcomings, not just high box office.

The box office high of "Wolf Warrior" comes from the theme and production.

First of all, it is an action movie with the widest audience, from old to young, there are almost few viewers who don't like to watch commercial action blockbusters, which is the basis for it to win the championship in film history.

In the production of domestic action movies, its level is very high, the opening underwater long-shot fight, even Hollywood does not have it, and the car chase scenes, tank battles, and hand-to-hand combat in the back can be said to be unique among domestic films in recent years. Audiences can watch domestic action movies in theaters that are close to the level of Hollywood production, why not?

Its plot and soundtrack are also excellent.

The bright line of Wolf Warrior 2 is to find a wife and evacuate overseas Chinese, and the dark line is virus antibodies, the three lines are well combined, there are personal emotions and the righteousness of the family and country, and the audience has a strong sense of substitution. The strongest part of Wolf Warrior 2 is the rhythm, the opening underwater long shot attracts the audience's attention, the rhythm of the plot is smooth, soothing, the climax is wave after wave, and finally the emotion reaches the peak release, and the audience is completely taken away by the movie. This is something that even Hollywood, which claims to be an industrialized process, has rarely achieved in recent years.

At the same time, the soundtrack of Wolf Warrior 2 is also excellent and majestic, specially made according to the plot and recorded in the United Kingdom.

Its characterization is equally stunning.

The role of Leng Feng is very good, the heroic image of Chinese soldiers and the love of children, coupled with his own popularity, have been highly recognized and loved by the public. At the same time, the supporting roles in Wolf Warrior 2 are also very well shaped, the interaction between the characters is also very good, the jokes are interspersed reasonably, profiteers, doctors, rich second generations, aunts, two children, villains and mercenaries all have moments to show themselves, not just background boards, which is a shortcoming of domestic films.

Finally, there is the idea!

As a large-scale domestic action movie, based on the above points, it is already an excellent commercial blockbuster, but its idea has sublimated it. Many plots are based on reality, but when the audience's emotions progresse layer by layer and explode cumulatively, you will find that maybe you love the motherland so much. But this is something that a mediocre film or a bad movie can't do, as evidenced by the great cause of army building in the same period and the air and space hunting in the back.

After Wolf Warrior 2, the market depth was greatly broadened, the number of moviegoers expanded from 90 million to 160 million, nearly doubled, 3 billion movies became the norm, and the word-of-mouth era began to rise, ensuring the rapid expansion of theaters, which played a huge role in the promotion of China's film industry and the development of the market.

That's what it does.

Xu Qian understands the influence of "Wolf Warrior 2" very well.

Someone in another world commented: "The box office and number of people in Wolf Warrior 2 are completely supported by word of mouth in the circle of friends and the general public, especially among the middle-aged and elderly groups, how many people enter the cinema for the first time to watch Wolf Warrior 2 with the strong recommendation of relatives and friends, on the first day of the release of the Spring Festival on the Wandering Earth, Wu Jing's personal WeChat index is the same as the whole movie, you can imagine the influence brought by Wolf Warrior 2." ”

Wolf Warrior is an action movie, this is the genre of Hollywood's conquest of the world, and if you describe it as a comic, this is Dragon Ball. "Naruto", "Pirates" and other royal manga, have the widest audience.

To describe it as a TV series, it is "In the Name of the People", a royal TV series like "Bright Sword".

As for why "Wolf Warrior" has a low score on Douban?

This is normal, not to mention the attitude of many users on Douban towards Wu Jing, tens of thousands of likes on one star, the Douban score is actually not directly related to the box office, it reflects the lens of the movie itself, professionalism, plot depth, etc.

This also means that it is difficult for a main theme popcorn action movie to get a high score on Douban, because their shortcomings coincide with the needs of Douban, so the score of Wolf Warrior 2 on the platform of Douban is normal.

Similarly, Jackie Chan's action movie did not have a score of 8 on Douban, but it still won many box office championships that year and was loved by the audience.

For the public's reputation and love for theatrical movies, the score of Maotao's ticket purchase can be closer to the box office trend, and Wolf Warrior 2 is the first domestic film on these two platforms.

Douban's high score may mean that its lens expression is better, the director's skills are stronger, the plot is more rigorous, the subject matter is more realistic, the reflection is more in-depth, etc., among them, a considerable part of them are award films, and Wu Jing is not a professional director after all, it is normal to lack these specialties in the lens expression, his strength is in the rhythm of the plot and driving the audience's emotions, and Jackie Chan movies are the same in this regard.

But a high Douban score does not mean that the audience likes to watch it, as a movie fan, I will savor some Douban high-scoring movies on the computer. But for the box office trend and ordinary audiences, in the cinema, facing the big screen, the direct viewing experience, emotional mobilization and explosion brought to them are the most important, and Wolf Warrior has indeed reached a very high level in this regard.

Therefore, Xu Qian is very confident in the box office of "Wolf Warrior", and the box office of this movie is definitely not bad.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Zhang Guo was finally busy, the box office of "Wolf Warrior" on the first day was 260 million, and the box office of "Water Cube" was 140 million!

This is still the case that "Water Cube" has more films than "Wolf Warrior".

And the attendance rate of "Wolf Warrior" has reached a terrifying average of 100 people per game!

What's more, the box office of 260 million on the first day directly broke the record of the highest box office on the first day of a local film in China!

"The box office on the first day was 260 million ......"

"Oh my God, I'm not going to be dazzled. ”

"Awesome, awesome, awesome, what else can I say but awe?"

Such an achievement shocked all peers.

Not only did this break the original record, but it doubled the original record, which is simply terrifying......

Some movies are unlikely to make such a horrific box office until the end.

It can be said that the results of the first day of "Wolf Warrior" stunned everyone's eyes, except for shock, which can only be described as shock.

Such an achievement can already be described by a series of words such as shaking the past and the present, and the ancients are unprecedented, which is too good.
