The movie released in China during the New Year's Day, the Hollywood blockbuster "Heroes of Fire" has no strong competitors, so it can be said to be a peerless at the box office, winning a box office of 370 million in 5 days.

This also proves the appeal of Hollywood films in China, although domestic films have risen vigorously in recent years, showing the momentum of competition, but there is still a long way to go to achieve transcendence.

"I Want to Love You Again" ranked second with a box office of 101 million, and the box office trend of this domestic youth romance film is quite healthy and stable.

This also proves that this type of domestic film has a fairly wide range of moviegoers, but the potential crisis should not be underestimated, many viewers who have seen this movie have expressed aesthetic fatigue with the storyline, if the latecomers do not break through and innovate, it is estimated that it will be difficult for a large number of audiences to buy it.

In third place is "Chasing the Murderer" produced by Dream Media, with a box office of 82.7 million that made Li Mengru smile crookedly, because such results have exceeded expectations, and now they have achieved profitability, and they have earned pure profits in the remaining schedules.

The total box office of "Chasing the Murderer" is expected to be between 1.2-150 million, and after the sharing, the filming and production costs of 20 million and the marketing expenses of 5 million will be deducted, which can at least double the income.

For Dream Media, which has just entered the film and television industry, this is undoubtedly an extremely successful start.

Although "Chasing the Murderer" ranked third at the box office, the audience's reputation was in the first place, and the score of 8.2 points on Acorn.com crushed the top two, which had a certain impact inside and outside the circle.

Many people have turned their attention to Dream Media, to Shao Honghui, the director of "Chasing the Murderer", and to the heroes and heroines Luo Kai and Mo Lan.

On the evening of May 5, "Film Weekly" published a film review of "Chasing the Murderer" on its official blog.

"This is a movie worth sitting down and watching carefully, a good movie that is serious, not exaggerated, and not pretentious, and it can also be called a work of conscience among domestic films in the past three years..."

The author of this film review is called "Ferryman", he is a special columnist for "Film Weekly", a professional film critic, and one of the members of the jury of the highest film award in China, the Golden Harvest Award, and has a high reputation in the circle.

Although it is said that everyone can be a film critic now, and the film reviews of professional film critics do not have much influence on ordinary audiences, in the circle, the articles of film critics like "The Ferryman" also represent the trend of film awards to a certain extent.

"The Ferryman" has a very high evaluation of "Chasing the Murderer", and even uses the words of "a work of conscience", not only because the quality of this movie is really good, but also because the impetuousness of domestic films in recent years has worried many filmmakers.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, although domestic films are developing rapidly, box office records of hundreds of millions, billions or even billions are constantly broken, and the situation is like flowers cooking oil on a brocade fire, but the problems contained in it cannot be underestimated.

Large-scale investment in large-scale productions, big special effects and big stars, film and television companies and investors have smashed hundreds of millions of dollars into it, bought IP resources on a large scale, invited traffic stars with high salaries, and desperately made quick money in the market.

The atmosphere of the industry is becoming more and more impetuous, and not many people are willing to be patient to polish the script and shoot and produce seriously, all relying on the influence of IP and traffic stars to hype up.

The results were quick and there were many successful examples, but few people paid attention to the losers and ignored the dangers that lie beneath the market trend.

Once the mainstream audience is tired of such a model, maybe the cold winter of the industry will come abruptly.

And in the trend of following the trend, "Chasing the Murderer" undoubtedly seems different.

"Chasing the Murderer" has very little investment, the story is not a mainstream type, except for the two leading actors, the actors are not traffic stars, and Luo Kai and Mo Lan are both singers rather than professional actors.

But Luo Kai's performance makes people feel "amazing"!

"The Ferryman" praised Luo Kai's acting skills, thinking that although he was not from a professional background, he was undoubtedly the best among young actors, not like a newcomer at all, and his performance was comparable to those senior veteran actors.

His film review made Luo Kai famous in a certain circle.

"You tell me honestly..."

In the banquet hall of the Regent Hotel, Li Mengru asked with a smile, "Did you give this red envelope?"

Although as of May 8, the box office of "Chasing the Murderer" has not exceeded 100 million, the general manager of Dream Media couldn't wait to hold a celebration banquet at the Regent Hotel and invited all the members of the "Chasing the Murderer" crew.

When she saw Luo Kai and Mo Lan coming hand in hand, she made fun of the movie review of "The Ferryman".

Luo Kai smiled dumbly: "I said something that was not stuffed, do you believe it?"

"Of course I do!"

Li Mengru smiled: "I know this person, he can't be bought with money." ”

There are countless media and media outlets that can be bought with money, and film critics are quite lofty, but those who speak with money abound, and many film and television companies have corresponding budgets and specially invite people to write advertorials for hype.

This is a clear rule in the circle.

But there are also those who do not need or disdain to make such money and maintain a relatively impartial position.

For example, Luo Kai knows a Chu madman who can be regarded as a friend.

The same is true of "The Ferryman", who has a lot of experience in the film and television industry, and it is not a fluke that he can become a columnist for "Film Weekly".

Luo Kai said: "If you have a chance, introduce me." ”

If you have the opportunity to meet this "ferryman", then you should say thank you to the other person.

Li Mengru was very confident: "There must be a chance, by the way..."

She suddenly changed her words: "How is the script of the new film written? I'll wait to see it!"

Luo Kai couldn't cry or laugh: "How can it be so fast." ”

Last time, he mentioned it to Li Mengru, but Li Mengru kept it in mind, and reminded him from time to time, urging him to hurry up and get the script of the new movie.

Luo Kai originally planned to talk about it after the New Year, but seeing that Li Mengru couldn't wait, it was estimated that it would be advanced.

"It's too much drag..."

Li Mengru didn't want to talk to him, so she pulled Mo Lan to talk to him: "You have to supervise your family, don't let him hang around all day long, work hard to make money to support the family!"

Mo Lan pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister Mengru, I can't control him now." ”

Li Mengru snorted: "It's not a matter of time or later, you preview it first..."

"Mr. Li, Luo Kai, Miss Mo...

As he was talking, Shao Honghui came over with a glass of champagne and greeted with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

At this moment, Luo Kai keenly noticed that Li Mengru frowned.
