Chapter 106: Phenomenal Level
A new movie is released, two days, how much can the box office be?
Martial arts films, one of the favorite themes of the Chinese people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
is an international director, and it is also known as the first director in China, Qin Wei Qin's martial arts films.
It is known as a martial arts masterpiece with an investment of 100 million.
The actor played by Guo Yulong.
He Yingyu and Fu Hongxue, two popular actresses Xiao Huadan, co-starred in and out of the play, and the drama continued.
The industry praised it, almost every critic and ordinary audience who watched the movie applauded unanimously, and when the reporter interviewed him, many stars who watched the premiere were also full of praise.
By the way, Guo Yulong's action guidance team, it is said that the martial arts scenes are extremely good-looking!
Two days...... How much can the box office be?
Some people guess that 50 million is probably not a big problem, Saturday and Sunday, it is the first two days of the release, all kinds of gimmicks are so sufficient, the box office must not be bad, even if it is not over 50 million, 40 million is at least, it can't be less! After all, the current domestic film market is so hot, right?
Some people think that the prediction of 50 million can only be said to be a normal situation, but at the moment, you look at the selling points one after another, don't care about the investment of more than 100 million, Qin Wei's director, wonderful martial arts action, Guo Yulong's male lead, He Yingyu VS Fu Hongxue's heroine, etc., any one, must not bring tens of millions of box office to the movie? Therefore, 50 million is estimated to be unstoppable, and 70 million can be regarded as a hurdle!
Then, when the time came to May 1st, Monday, last week's box office came out, and the whole of China was scared to the ground - "The Door of Life and Death" was released for two days, and the box office exceeded 100 million in the first week!
In just two days, the box office was 114.62 million!
This is an amazing box office that almost no one could have predicted before!
Including Li Qian, when he saw this box office figure, he was also shocked and didn't come back to his senses for a while!
Two days, 110 million, what is the concept?
In the undisputed world's largest single box office, North America, that is, the United States and Canada together, there are only a few movies that break 100 million in the first week of the box office every year. On the first Saturday and Sunday box office of release, there are only one or two films at most every year that can break through the box office of 50 million US dollars.
114.62 million Chinese dollars, which is equivalent to about 57 million US dollars!
In other words, the achievement of "The Door of Life and Death" in the Chinese film market, even if it is a horizontal comparison of the box office in North America, is a rare level!
Looking back at China, until last year, for domestic films, the box office exceeded 100 million, which is still only something that a small number of directors dare to hope for.
The so-called "100 million yuan club", the very existence of this statement, has proved how much to boast about over 100 million - however, "The Gate of Life and Death" broke 100 million in less than two days!
On the day the box office came out, the whole country didn't know how many practitioners in the film industry would be dumbfounded, at least Qi Jie looked shocked, and asked Li Qian over and over again: "Is that movie really that powerful?
Li Qian could only answer her, "This is the choice of the market." ”
In fact, in another time and space, it is difficult for later people to imagine that at the beginning of the 21st century, Chinese mainland's first real commercial blockbuster "Hero" actually won a quarter of the total national box office that year - a movie, won a quarter of the total box office of the whole of China!
It's unimaginable!
But in fact, in such an era, Zhang Guoshi's name, huge investment, the support and optimism of theaters all over the country, coupled with the appearance of certain Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, made the Chinese people who were extremely hungry for commercial blockbusters at that time basically have no resistance to Zhang Guoshi's first commercial masterpiece!
And in this time and space, Master Qin's status in the rivers and lakes, his image in the minds of the people of all over the country who understand movies and don't understand movies, who often watch movies and basically don't watch movies, is basically the undisputed first person in domestic films, it should be said that compared with Zhang Guoshi in other time and space, he is not inferior!
Guo Yulong is a top actor who can carry the box office by himself, the highest box office record for him as a leading actor before is 170 million, a single film with a box office of over 100 million, there are four in total, He Yingyu and Fu Hongxue are both small flowers that were so popular last year, He Yingyu carries the halo of "My Savage Girlfriend" selling 150 million, Fu Hongxue has even entered the 200 million club, and there is also the blessing of the actress!
In addition, even Ming Xiaojing, the female No. 4, is an international actress!
Such a cast combination is not far behind Jet Li, Chen Daoming, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Donnie Yen, etc. in another time and space!
Zhang Guoshi's big scene, of course, is amazing, and the color allocation is also full of praise, but Master Qin's artistic skills are not inferior to Zhang Guoshi, and the big scene and wonderful fights in "The Gate of Life and Death" are still better than "Hero"!
Therefore, in 2002, in this time and space, there were only two releases, and "The Door of Life and Death" broke 100 million!
Directly airborne to the first place in the box office chart of the week!
In the second week of its release, "Huang Feihong", which has not declined in popularity at all, surprisingly broke 100 million again, ranking second on the list with a box office of 106.13 million, which was slightly lower than the first week's 108.46 million - what Li Qian was most worried about before happened.
Although the box office of the two weeks is combined, "Huang Feihong" has received as much as 214.59 million, even if it is only the first two weeks, it can already be included in the phenomenal movie, in fact, even now, both the media and ordinary audiences have praised this movie in the word-of-mouth survey.
However, it is clear that "The Door of Life and Death" has obviously stolen all the limelight!
And then, with such a super record of breaking 100 million yuan in two days, the word-of-mouth fermentation and publicity offensive of "The Gate of Life and Death", as well as the box office confidence of the theater side and the audience, must reach a feverish level - in fact, on Monday afternoon, the distribution department of Minghu Culture has received the filming adjustment notices sent by major theaters one after another!
It's such nonsense, a good movie that can be regarded as a big hit at any time and has just entered the third week of release is stunned that the theater side is starting to get enough scheduling rate!
And to tell the truth, the theater company can give a notice, and even some theaters specifically emphasized the previous sentence in the notice: In the next adjustment, "Huang Feihong" will be compensated for a certain amount of screening time and scheduling rate - this is already very friendly!
If it weren't for the fact that "Once Upon a Time" was also making a lot of money, the theater chain would not be so friendly and tactful—— even if they cut the film scheduling rate, they would still not be soft at all!
But in the current situation, you just have no way at all, the adjustment of the theater side is purely for commercial interests, who can stop a businessman from making money?
So, whether it was Li Qian or Qi Jie, he could only sigh, and then, like people all over the country, waited with some expectation for the second week of "The Door of Life and Death", which was also the first full week of box office!
But fortunately, although the popularity of "The Gate of Life and Death" has suppressed "Huang Feihong" to a considerable extent, at least in terms of word-of-mouth, "Huang Feihong", which is titled "the first kung fu movie", has no signs of weakening, and the national publicity of Zhou Baoshan and Lu Lingxi has also set off a boom everywhere they go!
…………
It's May.
Xie Mingyuan began to take people to personally run to the four venues that would be rented to hold concerts to supervise, and with Liao Liao's return to China, the four beauty bands finally gathered again, Li Qian and Cao Zhan They also began to go to various places to see the stage design, at the same time, of course, the publicity of the first national tour of the four beauty bands has been in full swing, and almost all of the tickets for the four performances were sold out on the day of sale!
Then, on Monday, May 8, the box office rankings were released on time.
What is amazing and vaguely seems to be what I expected is that "The Gate of Life and Death" won a single-week box office of 232.85 million in one fell swoop, not only pressed the 72.57 million box office of "Huang Feihong" in the third week under the suppression, but also sang a double dragon club into a one-man show, and set a hopeful super box office record in one fell swoop!
The entire Chinese film circle, literary circle, entertainment circle and media circle have all become a sensation!
As early as last week's box office situation came out, it has begun to make a sensation in China, and now, the topic and popularity of "The Door of Life and Death" and Qin Wei himself have reached their peak all of a sudden!
Or even ...... The pinnacle of praise that a domestic filmmaker can reach so far!
The halo of "The Door of Life and Death" is added, and for a while, this movie seems to be completely perfect!
"Huang Feihong" was compared, although it is not enough to say that it was trampled on useless, but even if it only mentions the box office, the media circle also recognizes that in such a positive PK, Master Qin won the dignified and upright, and Li Qian is afraid that he will lose and have nothing to say!
"The Swordsman and the Monk", "The Sword Fairy"...... Whether it's Liu Chengzhang's or Du Weiyun's, almost all the movies that have been box office hits in China, martial arts and famous directors have been pulled out by the media!
Obviously, everyone was pulled out to set off the box office results that "The Gate of Life and Death" has achieved now, how brilliant and brilliant it is!
Some media openly said: Such a "phenomenal" masterpiece and such a "phenomenal" box office, in the next three to five years, I am afraid that no one will be able to surpass it, except for Master Qin himself!
