When UPTOWN FUNK first came out and had just landed on Billboard, many people thought that UPTOWN FUNK would only hold the championship position for a week. With the news going down, it will come down from the championship position the following week.

But in the second week, it was still on the charts, still the champion.

Well, after all, this song is really good, with a series of media participation and the publicity offensive of "Avatar", Shen Huan's popularity is indeed very high, and it doesn't seem too surprising to stay for two more weeks. But in just four weeks at most, it will definitely come down from the Billboard championship.

But four weeks later, the first place on Billboard is still "UPTOWN FUNK".

Then there is a second quadruple cycle, and then a third quadrangle loop......

Until July, "Avatar" is about to have its premiere, and this "UPTOWN FUNK" is still very stable on the Billboard No. 1 position, and it has never come down! And in the week that "Avatar" is about to premiere, "UPTOWN FUNK" has occupied the No. 1 position on the Billboard for a full 13 weeks......

has topped the billboard for 13 consecutive weeks, let alone a Chinese singer, even for these singers in the United States, only a handful of people in history have done it, and those who have done it are all world-class singers, or superstars in the American music scene, and every one of them is a well-known name in the world. As for Asians......

So far, Shen Huan is really the only one who has achieved such a feat.

This also makes the popularity of "UPTOWN FUNK" show a strange trend: the most popular period of the song "UPTOWN FUNK" is undoubtedly the highest in the first week or two of the song's release, as time passes, the popularity of "UPTOWN FUNK" shows a downward trend, and after 10 weeks, the popularity of "UPTOWN FUNK" shows a strange reverse upward trend.

That's because, as UPTOWN FUNK dominates the charts for a long time, people pay more attention to it.

A lot of people are already looking beyond musicality to follow the song, and they want to see how many weeks the song will be the number one spot on the billboard. This is true not only for the general public, but also for many media outlets, and this attention, in turn, has added heat to "UPTOWN FUNK".

It is also in this situation that the day of the world premiere of "Avatar" is getting closer and closer.

This is also one thing that the public is concerned about, especially with the continued dominance and wide spread of "UPTOWN FUNK".

"We're going to have a big show on Saturday night", "We'll see if you don't believe it", "UPTOWN FUNK" can now be said to be a household name all over the world, and the two key lyrics in the song have also washed the brains of countless people, making them forget it.

This seems to be the best viral publicity for "Avatar".

A lot of people are waiting.

Some of them were really brainwashed by this song, and they had a little expectation for the movie, wanting to see what kind of movie this movie that made Shen Huan so presumptuous and confident; some didn't believe it at all, so they eagerly waited for the movie to be released, and after watching it, they said "But that's it" to pierce Shen Huan's cowhide......

A thousand people have a thousand different ideas, but they all have the same purpose, they are all waiting for this "wait and see".

It was also in this environment that "Avatar" finally came.

……

The 2011 Huaguo summer box office war officially kicked off on July 1 and Friday.

The first to blow the horn of the summer file was "Seeing the Dragon in the Field".

This movie, which is very optimistic about this year's Huaguo summer file, is the first to step into the summer file battlefield and is the first blockbuster in this year's Huaguo summer file, but in fact, it should not have entered today.

In the original schedule announcement, "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" was scheduled for July 8, but it finally changed the schedule and was released a week earlier, which may be related to the film schedule of this year's summer file.

On July 8, when "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" was originally scheduled, Chen Zishan's "Aftershock" will premiere, and on July 9, it will be the premiere of "Avatar" in China......

One is a masterpiece of China's top director with a huge investment of 200 million, and although the director of the other is weaker, the investment amount and the overall production lineup are more terrifying, and they are not easy to mess with. I just don't know whether it was "Aftershock" or "Avatar" that finally made "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" make this decision.

But no matter what, in this schedule starting on the 8th and 9th, let these two big guys go to the hard work, anyway, they won't be accompanied, go first.

In fact, it is not only "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" that thinks so, which can be seen from the schedule.

The two movies that are also optimistic about the domestic summer file, "Midsummer" and "Dragon Gate Inn", also did not choose the schedule of No. 8 and No. 9, and these two movies coincidentally chose the schedule of No. 15 at the same time, avoiding these two big guys. Of course, they are not afraid either.

It's OK on the 8th, but it's not necessary.

This also caused the schedule of No. 8 and No. 9, only the two big guys of "Aftershock" and "Avatar" fought hard, and neither side took a step back, saying that it was a change in schedule or something, it seems that no one is afraid of anyone, and they have to divide the winner and loser.

In addition to these two big guys, of course, there are other movie premieres on the 8th and 9th, but those movies are obviously here to run with the schedule, but none of them really want to compete with these two for the box office - for these movies, the summer file is full of big guys, which time period is not on it? It's better to pick the best schedule and try to maximize the benefits.

"Aftershock" and "Avatar", the results of the two sides are not known for the time being, but the results of "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" came out first.

The box office on the first day was 128 million, and the box office was 471 million in the first week......

Well...... From a literal point of view, this is a good result, and it is a good start for this year's summer file, but if you look at it in combination with the main creative lineup and the weekly box office trend curve, it is not very ideal. Especially when the next two giants are coming and the film schedule will definitely be affected, it will be even less optimistic to come up with such results. And from the perspective of word-of-mouth evaluation, "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" is indeed not very satisfying.

"I was thinking of going to watch a historical blockbuster, but it turned out to be a romance?

"I'm so bad that I can't even see it. ”

"Actually, I think it's okay, but in terms of narrative, isn't it too mother-in-law? It feels better to be more crisp and neat, and in the end, Tang Zhendong is too handsome and too manly!"

……

Of course, there are also some friends who have different opinions, thinking that "Director Pan has his own unique opinions and ideas about history, which is very good", "The play is as wonderful as ever, full of beauty" and so on.

Anyway, after a week of "Seeing the Dragon in the Field", this is basically the case, the reputation is a little bad, and the box office is not bad, at least for its cost, if it drags on for another week or two, it will not be a problem to make a profit. However, after this week's screening, "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" has obviously withdrawn from the competition for the box office hegemony of Huaguo's summer file.

The box office in a week is 471 million, maybe a few years ago, you can still take a look, but now that the box office records of Chinese films are constantly being refreshed, and it is in the summer file where fierce films are piled up, there is really no hope of competing for the box office championship.

And the two most promising box office champion contenders in the domestic summer season came a week after the screening of "Seeing the Dragon in the Field".
