On the night of October 22, after the premiere ceremony, "The Love of Green Onions" was officially released in 13 theaters across the country with a total of 426 theaters. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This scale of release is quite large for literary films.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the box office of these three days has always accounted for more than seventy percent of the box office in a week, and even more than eighty percent of the share at the peak, so although October 22 is already Friday, "The Love of Green Onions" was first launched, and it still entered the top three of the weekly box office in one fell swoop in such an absolute box office off-season at the end of October.

After three days of release, the cumulative box office was 8.16 million yuan, with an average daily average of 6,300 yuan for a single venue, and the attendance rate was generally around 50%, and there were even more than 80% attendance records in individual shows and individual cities.

For a literary film with a total investment of only more than 8 million, if this is an achievement achieved without external factors, then it can be said that this is a rush to make money, or even a big sale.

But it's a pity that this short-term box office surprise is destined to be unsustainable.

What's more, in the days after the premiere, whether it is in newspapers, radio, television and other media, or on Internet forums, the reputation of this movie is not very good.

Even fans of the four major beauty bands, and those who want to praise this movie, can only think that this is a "great progress" for Yu Bojun himself! But when it comes to the movie itself, even supporters and praisers have to admit that it has various problems such as slow rhythm and procrastination, and even for literary films, it seems a little too "sleepy".

And the statements of those critics and critics need not be said.

Of course, the surprising highlight of this movie is that, first, Jin Han's photography level is still as admirable as ever, second, although he only appeared in a few shots, Li Qian's big screen debut was quite passing, not to mention brilliant, there are so few scenes, the role setting is mediocre, and there is no chance to shine at all, but the performance is quite smooth and natural, showing his identity as a professional from Shuntian Film Academy, not given for nothing, and third, well, as always, Yu Bojun once again excavated a big beauty for the Chinese film industry.

It's just that this time is different from the past, this time, the role of Green Onion Huaer is not a vase, she not only plays the starring role, but also provokes more than seventy percent of the whole play alone, and her performance is remarkable.

When the media reported the release of "The Love of Green Onions" and its star-studded premiere, it was inevitable that the heroes and heroines of this play were reported to a certain extent, so many people know that the actor of the role of Green Onion Flower is a Peking Opera actor and the popular Da Qingyi of the Shuntian Peking Opera Company, and this "Love of Green Onion" is the first film and television drama she starred in.

As far as her personal performance is concerned, even if the performance of this movie hits the street, for her, this is a shining resume.

It is said that since the release of the movie, tickets for the Suncheon Peking Theater have become more and more difficult to find. In particular, the tickets for Cheng Su's listing show have become more and more sought-after goods in the hands of scalpers.

Of course, Cheng Suhua's performance alone can't support the box office of a play.

From October 25th to October 31st, the second week of the release of "Love with Green Onions" was also the first week of the whole, and it was not surprising that it took a box office plunge in an almost head-on posture.

The weekly box office was 3.13 million, ranking eighth in the box office list, and the average box office of a single hall barely exceeded 1,000.

As we all know, literary films, unless they are a big name like Qin Wei, it is difficult to have a big explosion at the box office, but it has an advantage, that is, as long as the reputation is not too bad, it is not easy to have huge fluctuations in the box office, and it will neither explode nor fall sharply.

But this time, the second week of "The Love of Green Onions" fell by more than sixty percent.

Of course, no one will sing down this movie for this, because now everyone understands that the box office in the first week did not actually come from the appeal of the movie itself, but only because of Yu Bojun's special identity and the special moment when he is about to quit the entertainment industry.

Or it can also be said that the box office of 3.13 million in the second week really reflects the strength and level of the movie "Love of Green Onions" to a large extent.

However, in two weeks, ten days, he won more than 11 million box office, for Yu Bojun, it has broken the past box office record, and he is satisfied enough.

Excluding the advantages of his own cinema chain, the normal domestic box office sharing is usually in accordance with the 6:4 and 4:6 model, that is, the distributor and the cinema party first share the account in a ratio of six to four, and after getting sixty percent of the total box office, the distributor will reverse it and share the account with the producer in a ratio of four to six, in general, the producer of the film can generally eat about 36% of the total box office share from the movie.

Of course, this number is not fixed, strong directors and strong producers will have an advantage when negotiating, while weak producers will suffer a little loss, among which the specific way of sharing accounts, each has its own way of talking, and the calculation of distribution costs is also a family, so this ratio is roughly between 30% and 45%.

And this time, Yu's Pictures is talking about the distribution by Oriental Media, Yu's Pictures can get 38% of the total box office, plus the Yu family has its own theater chain, after going offline nationwide, it will definitely be taken to its own theater for long-term screening, to save the cost of film purchase, plus DVD, The broadcast rights of TV stations or something can also return to the cost to some extent, so for the total investment of 8.3 million yuan for this movie, it can reach about 20 million, which will reach its capital-guaranteed profit line.

At the moment, it's not a big problem.

Although after the box office plunge in the second week, many theaters urgently reduced the release canvas of this movie, making the film quickly shrink from 426 theaters to only 197 after ten days of release, which can be regarded as a return to the normal level of a literary film, but in any case, with a box office of more than 11 million in hand within ten days, it is no longer a big problem for this film to recover its costs.

And it was during the release of "Love of Green Onions" that in the music world, Rose Power's second album "Girls' Dormitory" has successfully opened a big hit.

Maybe compared to the previous album, the quality and level of this album are slightly inferior, but the power of roses is the power of roses after all, as long as they stabilize the style and don't suddenly sway like the original five elements, plus there are a few works of sufficient level to take the lead, it is not easy for their new album to sell well.

It's just that I have to admit that compared to their last album "Super-star", the album "Girls' Dormitory" is indeed slightly inferior in terms of sales.

In addition, when the sales data as of the end of October were counted by the authoritative Record Industry Association, there was a shadow that began to quietly shroud the head of the Chinese music scene.

In the first ten months of 1999, although the best-selling albums appeared in the market one after another, including the four major beauty bands, Liao Liao and other music giants, they also sold well, but the overall sales data of the entire market fell slightly by 1.7% compared with the first ten months of last year.

In fact, although the year-on-year data in the first half of the year is still slightly increased, the growth of the overall music market has slowed down to a point where it is almost immobile, and when the data for the first eight months comes out, it has fallen slightly by 0.3% compared with the same period last year.

But two months have passed, and it has been proved that the domestic record market, which has been growing continuously for more than 20 years, especially in the past five or six years, has really reached its own bottleneck - or it can be said that under the interference of many external factors, especially the impact of emerging Internet piracy, the golden decade of the domestic record industry is coming to an end.

If the total volume of the market does not increase, or even falls slightly, it will definitely mean that competition will intensify.

Competition, which means that someone will be eliminated.

Like in the past years, there are many mountains, even if a young singer releases an album, he can make a small profit, and he can also hang the name of a singer by running commercial performances, and the era when countless record companies, large and small, are desperately discovering new talents and quickly pushing them to the market to seize the share of the record market that is rapidly increasing, and as long as the quality of the album is not too bad, the era of always being able to make some gains is coming to an end.

The next record market, on the one hand, will definitely be more and more affected by online piracy, on the other hand, it will usher in a tragic internal fight, the brand is not hard enough, the work is not good enough, the strength is not strong enough, the appeal is not big enough, the singer will be eliminated by the market in the next few years.

Just as last year's film market crash sparked a big discussion in the domestic film industry, with the release of data from the Recording Industry Association, almost all the entertainment sections and entertainment programs of newspapers, radio and television stations in the country joined the discussion of the cessation of the record market throughout November.

And when Li Qian saw this data, he convened all the singers of the company on the same day and held a small meeting, and there were no other requirements, just one thing: don't participate in this kind of discussion, make an album well.

At the end of October, He Runqing's new album "Cloudy Sky" was the first to be recorded.

Because in 2000 next year, Liao Liao is going to rest, there is no new album, and the four major beauty bands have lacked a guitarist, and they are currently temporarily suspended, and there are no album plans, so He Runqing's album, which was originally planned to be released at the end of the year, was adjusted to be released at the end of February of the year.

In mid-November, during He Runqing's album recording, Li Qian's first solo album "The First Experience of Love" was officially recorded.

Both albums were personally directed by Li Qian as the producer. The album "The First Experience of Love" is produced by Xie Mingyuan and Liao Liao.

He Runqing's "Cloudy Day" began to take a further turn to the style of love songs, but it was not a pure love song, in this album, Li Qian began to try to add some folk and jazz styles to He Runqing.

Facts have proved that people must do what they like, singers, and singers must boldly sing their favorite music, He Runqing sings folk songs and jazz, which are quite brilliant.

As for Li Qian's "The First Experience of Love", it is a mixed style.

The time when this album will be released is roughly determined to be two months after He Runqing's "Cloudy Day", that is, in April and May, and that time period is also the time when "Super Girl" has begun to start.

There is no doubt that there will be no four major beauty bands in the record market next year, but Li Qian's personal appeal may not be worse than the four major beauty bands.

So, this album will be a big hit, if not expected.

Of course, no one can say how much it will sell.

You know, next year, it's already 2000, Li Qian doesn't have an album, since he wants to release an album, he must come up with something new and make some new style.

To be more precise, he needs to continue to use new styles of things to bring continuous stimulation to the domestic music scene in this time and space!

Therefore, the album "The First Experience of Love" has pop, love songs, folk songs, soft rock, R&B, and rap.

In this regard, Xie Mingyuan was a little worried, and also frankly said his views and suggestions, Li Qian listened carefully, but still insisted on his own opinion after listening to it - he knew that until now, rap is still a niche in the domestic music scene, and R&B is also very different, all of them belong to a very small number of people to play, but in the whole environment, it has not been accepted by the domestic music scene and fans. So, some adventures.

But Li Qian was undaunted.

Out of trust in Li Qian's past achievements, after understanding Li Qian's attitude, Xie Mingyuan no longer insisted - although Li Qian insisted on playing rap and R&B, even if Xie Mingyuan was the kind of musician who was biased towards classical style, he had to admit that Li Qian still played quite tastefully. What's more, as a gold medal producer who has made many best-selling albums, Li Qian is still very safe in doing things, in his first solo album, of course, there are rap and R&B, but the main ones are still folk songs and love songs.

Frankly speaking, in Xie Mingyuan's opinion, among the works in his album, just take two of them, which is enough to ensure sales after the launch.

For example, the folk songs "Childhood", "You at the Same Table" and "Dark Fragrance", as well as "The First Time", "Lights on the Stars" and "Kiss Goodbye", all made him can't help but appreciate them after seeing the score.

Of course, since the reckless and interesting light rock love song "The First Experience of Love" can be determined by Li Qian as the title of the album, its degree of excellence goes without saying, even the Chinese-style R&B's "Jiangnan", in fact, he personally likes it quite much after smacking for a while, and even vaguely feels that this style may be able to bring a new wind to the domestic music scene and lead a new trend.

So in the end, what really worried him was actually those two raps.

The two rock songs, one is called "Indian Old Turtledove" and the other is "Fort William". How to say it, from the lyrics to the songs, there is a wicked and weird style, which makes Xie Mingyuan, a veteran who has been in the West for many years, a little unsure whether they will be popular.

Of course, since Li Qian insisted on doing it, he chose from the bottom of his heart to believe in Li Qian's vision and strength.

At the end of November, "Cloudy Day" was completely recorded.

Just a few days later, because I recorded a song for myself, and I had successful examples to learn from in my head, it was too easy than making it for someone else, so "The First Experience of Love" was immediately announced.

So subsequently, the "Li Zhou Combination Husband and Wife File", which was extremely much expected by the entire domestic music scene, and even within Minghu Culture, officially started.

Zhou Yan's new album, "Red Beans", was officially launched.

The production lineup of this album is also luxurious.

Producer, and songwriter of all ten works, Li Qian.

Producer, Xie Mingyuan, He Runqing, Cao Zhan.

And when Li Qian and others were bored to record the album, in the domestic publishing market, there was a martial arts novel called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which suddenly became popular.

When the first book was published, it was still inconspicuous, and it seemed that it was going to continue the bland trend of "Blue Blood Sword", but after the second book was released, it suddenly created a wave of sales surge, which also promoted the continued hot sales of the first book, and when the third book of this novel was released in early December, it even triggered a rush to buy.

The author of this book is a quasi-newcomer, with the pen name Jin Yong. In the circle of martial arts novels, I have never heard of such a person, after this book became popular, many authors and publishers have inquired about it, but no one has heard of this person, and no one has come forward to admit that it is his new pen name or something.

Many film and television companies and directors have taken a fancy to this book, found the publishing house, wanted to get the author's contact information, and talked about the issue of film and television copyright authorization, but the publishing house has repeatedly said that when they signed the contract for publication, they had signed a confidentiality agreement at the same time, and they had no right to disclose the author's true information.

And when they helped convey the news that someone wanted to buy the film and television adaptation rights, they quickly got a reply from the other party: there is no plan to sell it for the time being.

Suddenly, the name Jin Yong, as well as his unusual low-key, began to become a hot topic of conversation for many people after dinner.

In this case, at the beginning of January, the recording of "Red Bean" was officially completed.

Not surprisingly, when the annual statistics of the Recording Industry Association were released, the domestic record industry lamented - throughout 1999, the overall sales of the domestic record market fell by 2.1% year-on-year!

Linked to the repeated decline of the film market for two years, many people realize that the trough of the domestic entertainment and cultural industry seems to be inevitable.

But at this time, no one knew that this trough was an extremely important historical turning point.

Under the strong challenge of online piracy, the film market will inevitably go through such a painful period in order to usher in a new strong growth, while the music market, which is not controlled by anyone, has begun to enter the era of national entertainment and national singing from the era of singers and stars.

Under the leadership and control of Li Qian, Minghu Culture, which has been busy from beginning to end this year, but is unusually low-key to the outside world, is gaining momentum.
