Chapter Twenty-Nine: Little Peng Peng (5/6 Subscription Requested)

The Oscar effect, feedback in "La La Land", the most direct is that the previous relatively general box office data has risen by a cut.

In fact, the film has not been completely removed from North American theaters until now, and the focus film and television as the distributor has made great efforts.

By the time the Oscars were held, there were less than 200 theaters left in North America, and the screening rate was only a pitiful less than three percent.

On the second day of the Oscars, "La La Land" followed the previous on-demand screening, and the North American theater chain and film scheduling rate of the screening were once again greatly expanded, and the number of theaters screened in North America reached as many as 2,200, and the film scheduling rate increased to nearly 25%!

A considerable number of North American fans, affected by 14 mentions 6, walked into theaters one after another, either watched it again, or watched the film for the first time, making the single-day box office of less than $50,000 exceed $3 million in one fell swoop, and in the following weekend, it reported $5.54 million, $6.46 million and $5.1 million for three consecutive days, and another $17.1 million in North America.

So far, the North American box office of "La La Land" has exceeded 180 million, and according to the most conventional calculation, "La La Land" should continue to be released until the end of April...

The distributor, Focus Films, strives to make the North American box office of "La La Land" exceed 200 million!

The North American box office has crossed the threshold of 200 million US dollars, and the sales of peripheral rights can be increased again, which is far different from 150 million or 190 million!

At the same time, on March 1, "La La Land" landed in mainland theaters.

Won 83 million box office results on the first day...

Then, the question arises!

Word-of-mouth is directly polarized!

Viewers who like it feel that this is a love story full of regrets but touching: at a certain stage of life, you meet someone, you encourage each other, grow together, there are beautiful, painful, and regretful, this is not only the love in the movie, but also the true portrayal of many people in life.

The annoying audience thinks that the whole story is too thin, and the whole film only sees the hero and heroine in the front and back shots, and the two of them use mediocre lines to hold up for two hours - in the end it is just a cliché love story.

As the story progresses, the hero's sister retires, the heroine's roommates disappear, and the branches that could have made the story fuller all disappear. ’

And then a bunch of people seriously discussed: whether "La La Land" is too good...

In fact, "La La Land" is very similar to Li He's poems to some extent, and the overall view is very flawed, with big or small problems in the narrative rhythm, conflict settings, character performance, and singing and dancing level.

However, there are jaw-dropping sentences, such as the long shot at the beginning, the preparation of the girls before going out, the dance under the stars, and the best of course the dream flashback at the end.

So, if you want to find faults, you can definitely pick out a whole bunch of them, but you can't cover them up.

What's more, this is a song and dance film, so many people automatically ignore the shortcomings in terms of narrative.

Therefore, people who look at the shortcomings feel average, and those who look at the advantages feel that they are gods.

"La La Land" has an eye score of 8.6 points, which is not very high, with a box office of 210 million in the first weekend, and a total box office of around 500 million predicted - it was completely pulled up by Shen Ming!

However, the trend of "Green Book", which opened at the same time, was very stable, with a score of 117 million in the first weekend, a target score of 9.6 points, and a total box office of 500 million...

By the way, "Little Wrecking Ball" was released for 28 days, and the single-day box office fell below 10 million, with a cumulative box office of 5.26 billion.

And the creators are busy with their own things.

Guo Fan plunged headlong into the preliminary preparations of "The Martian";

Wu Jing is busy with "The Climber";

Shen Ming went to Paris to shoot "Flag Guard"...

Several other actors, Wu Mengda joined the legendary family, and joined the legendary equipment recovery officer together with Gu Tianyu, Chen Xiaochun, and Zhen Dan...

Use real kung fu in filming, and play "real legends" when you play games!

Li Guangjie, Cheng Xiao, and Zhao Jinmai all have their own jobs...

"The Wandering Earth" is just an important stroke on their resumes for them, not the whole of life!

As for Peng Yuchang, who plays Li Yiyi, he... He was busy promoting "Five Boys Splashing in the Water".

……

Minghui company is very rigid!

"Five Boys Splashing in the Water" is scheduled for March 14, taking over "Captain Marvel"...

The company has considered that, generally speaking, Marvel's movies are at most awesome in the previous week, and "Captain Marvel" doesn't look like it can set off a frenzy of movie-watching...

And the five leading actors of "Five Boys Splashing in the Water": Peng Yuchang, Zhang Yishan, Guo Junchen, Dong Zijian, and Wang Junkai are all young generations with a good reputation.

Wang Junkai alone can play a propaganda role of no less than 20 million!

Of course, it is Peng Peng and Zhang Yishan who are the main ones to carry the propaganda - of course the traffic can carry the publicity, but it is best to use the traffic to attract fans after the word-of-mouth of the movie is released, and let the traffic carry the publicity at the beginning, which is often counterproductive.

After all, Wang Junkai's public impression is not very good - the existence of the Golden Broom shortlisted for "The Great Wall".

At the premiere ceremony, Yang Qin said with a smile: "I found that compared with men and women, men are more willing to get along with themselves, and the actresses in our crew only have the guest teacher Wan Qian and the heroine Cheng Xiao who has played for three days..."

"It's funny, they make movies, soak in water every day, compete with each other to hold their breath..."

"Scene distribution? This is about a man's synchronized swimming, and the scenes are almost the same..."

"Shen Ming originally wanted to direct by himself, but he didn't have a schedule, so he found me. ”

"He should now be shooting a new film in Paris... You can ask Peng Peng for details, he is the actor of that play!"

Peng Peng took over the topic: "Shen Ming originally wanted to return to China, but "Protecting the Flag" is a play he wrote and directed, and he really can't leave..."

"Of course, he is also the screenwriter of "Five Boys Splashing in the Water"..."

"My relationship with him?"

Peng Peng thought for a moment and replied: "It's the kind of person who looks for me and I can push off the trip to participate... I trust him unconditionally!"

"Why do you keep looking for me to play the male lead?"

"Maybe I'm better at it!"

Peng Peng is also one of the hot new generations now, and he can even remove one of them!

"The Wandering Earth" series, he has been confirmed to be the three leading actors in the second part - Han Duoduo's husband, and it is he who prompted Han Duoduo's thinking to 'evolve' and transfer to the rebel gang, Han Duoduo can become a Virgin-like character, Li Yiyi has contributed a lot!

Peng Peng's mentality is very peaceful, and he used to think about competing with Shen Ming, but then he felt that it was completely delusional - in this world, there are people who are more handsome than you, more talented than you, and more lucky than you!

After realizing this, I was calm.

"Five Boys Splashing in the Water", he watched it once at the test screening, anyway, he likes it a lot, and the box office should be okay...

As for how much box office it can get, I have no idea at all, how can it surpass "The Wandering Earth"?
