Chapter 87: 1.2 Billion in the First Weekend (First Update)

Frankly speaking, compared with the previous two years, this year's Shanghai Film Festival obviously has fewer press conferences and fewer film lists. Many foreign reporters left Shanghai ahead of schedule.

The performance of domestic films in the first half of the year was unsatisfactory, and the film company was also "pragmatic".

Last year, the industry bigwigs sat together and talked about how to achieve the "small goal" of 60 billion and how to catch up with the "old United States".

This year, only Yuehua Media still announced the five-year plan...

The glamorous Wang Changtian complained that "if a film list is not released, will it affect the entire business promotion"...

During the Shanghai International Film Festival last year, more than 200 films were unveiled, but most of them only existed in "PPT" and were not filmed in the end.

Many industry insiders admit that the film list is to some extent a helpless move by the company in order to value and attract attention, and there are very few that can really successfully convert in the market.

The overall environment has indeed become bad!

In the first half of the year, in addition to the Spring Festival stalls, the domestic film at the box office was "The Devotion of Suspect X", with a box office of only 401 million...

Several movies on May Day, including Yuehua's "Master of Memory" failed to meet expectations at the box office!

It can only be said that the audience is becoming more and more distrustful of Chinese movies!

Therefore, Wanda offered 800 million yuan to release "God of Medicine", which is already very high in their opinion...

After all, in the same period, there are "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", "Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Death Without Proof", "Wonder Woman", "The New Mummy"...

……

On May 15th, after the end of the roadshow, Zhang Junsheng sat in the business car with a tired body, and he didn't want to move...

"According to the timely data..."

An Yugang, who was sitting next to him, said, "The box office of "God of Medicine" is close to 1.22 billion yuan, and it is now half past ten, and it is estimated that it can still sell one round, and it is not a big problem to break 1.25 billion in the first weekend!"

After saying this, he looked at Zhang Junsheng.

Zhang Junsheng's eyes kept looking out the window, and the sun outside was exceptionally bright, even a little blazing...

A little tired, the reporters were going crazy, and they caught him desperately interrogating.

The main reason is that the reputation of "God of Medicine" is really good, which is a bit excessive!

Douban score 9.2 points, eye aiming score 9.8 points...

The first day of the box office was only 160 million, and the next day, that is, Friday, the box office actually rose to 280 million, yesterday, the single-day box office set a record, 420 million, today's box office data has not been officially released, but there are already 360 million box office results...

Journalists are crazy.

Last year, "The Wandering Earth" was very good, but it was a high box office in exchange for a high cost;

What about "The God of Medicine"?

According to the information disclosed by Yuehua, the production cost of "The God of Medicine" is 85 million, and all the actors are paid to play Zhang Junsheng did not confiscate the director's fee at all, and he accounted for 20% of the income...

Twenty percent of the income of "God of Medicine" goes to the actors, 20 percent to the director, and the rest is the income of the producer...

However, the producer has already made money!

The revenue from ad placement is 160 million!

'Jin Liufu' showed his face inside, a close-up shot of a second, and the price was 26 million!

Three years ago, director Guan Qiao's "Cook, Play, Ruffian" did the same, but the box office of that movie was only 270 million, and in order to ensure income, several people did "Three Brothers in the Line of Fire"...

"Junsheng..."

"Huh?"

"Are you listening?"

"Of course I'm listening!" Shaking his head, Zhang Junsheng said, "I'm a little tired..."

"The interview that night?"

“… Push it, I need to take a good rest, I'm not going to fly to West * Ann tomorrow!"

"No, it's Southern Weekly, after all..."

"Let Bo Go..."

An Yugang turned his head to look at Wang Bo, who was sleeping soundly in the back row, and nodded speechlessly...

Dead friends don't die poor!

……

The box office of "God of Medicine" shocked the entire Chinese entertainment industry!

At the earliest, everyone predicted that the box office would be around 500 million based on the theme ceiling!

Last year's acclaimed "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" had a box office of only 480 million...

Then, the premiere of the Shanghai Film Festival ended, and everyone's expectations for the box office were adjusted to 1 billion...

This is also thanks to Zhang Junsheng's extra points...

As a result, the first weekend was directly 1.25 billion...

And the film schedule occupies 53% strongly, and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" in the same schedule has less than 20% of the film schedule...

You must know that it is not easy for domestic films to get 35% of the film schedule ratio in the past, under the premise of limited market space and multiple films sharing the market, good reputation, topicality, and high proportion are important factors for the absolute dominance of the film in the first week of release.

Eye-catching data shows that the box office of "God of Medicine" is expected to be 3.5 billion!

A movie with an investment of less than 100 million has a final box office of 3.5 billion!

Lose your marbles!

Yuehua didn't even use much marketing power, and a bunch of self-media didn't want to advocate Zhang Junsheng...

"The year before last, director Zhang Junsheng filmed "Gravity", I thought he was going to continue to specialize in big productions, but I didn't expect him to turn his face and shoot "God of Medicine", this is the conscience of Chinese films!"

"Zhang Junsheng's eyes are too poisonous, and the audience's laughter, tears, and pain points are firmly grasped by him!"

"I feel that China finally has our own powerful film, all the actors are very good, the best group performance in recent years, please remember this filmmaker: Zhang Junsheng!"

Zhang Junsheng is embarrassed to go online, and a bunch of people on Weibo praise him, I'm embarrassed...

But there is also a voice, many people say that "God of Medicine" is 'not as good as Chinese movies, like Korean movies!'

Zhang Junsheng replied: "This is the problem of cultural self-confidence, I don't believe that my own country can make such a movie, I don't believe that the genre of domestic movies is good enough, you just feel the same as other countries."

When Korean movies came out, did some Koreans think they looked like American films? Originally, movies were produced in the West, and if you really don't want to learn from other people's films that have been developed for more than 100 years, don't make movies at all.

The roots of film culture were invented by the French in the West, and the Americans typed and differentiated it.

In the process of genre of films in our country, you have to judge whether the movies are similar in structure, which is quite funny. This is not a normal way of thinking, strictly speaking, a way of thinking that is full of national inferiority.

If you look carefully at "I Am Not the God of Medicine", which point is Korean? Which person is not a native Chinese rooted in the soil? They are expressing the demands of the Chinese. ”

It's like a Korean movie at every turn...

There is a problem, how much better are Korean movies than ours?

The copyright of "God of Medicine" was sold in 48 countries...

There is not much publicity in North America, and the North American box office of this movie is unlikely to be much better...

Foreigners' attention to China's reality is not particularly high!

They would prefer to see Cheng Yong executed, and then the people's resentment boils... Fupin Chinese
