Chapter 706: Weak at the box office
PS: I went to the hospital in the afternoon to see my eyes, and I will have a chapter today, sorry~
Chapter 706 is weak at the box office
With a box office of 94 million on the first day, the box office results of "The Saint of Gambling" made many film critics dumbfounded.
The film critics who rushed to comment after the zero o'clock field came out predicted that the box office of Jiangxia's "The Saint of Gambling" would definitely not exceed 40 million on the first day, which was still for the sake of "God of Gamblers".
However, when the results came out, it was too much of a slap in the face, how could it be so high? How could it be so high? This is not scientific!
How can such a hodgepodge of commercial films that rely on vulgar jokes for fun earn such a high box office?
After thinking about it for a long time, film critics discovered the secret, that is, pre-sales.
With the rise of the Internet, online ticket booking has become everyone's first choice to buy movie tickets, and pre-sale tickets have become normal, and the pre-sale tickets of "The Saint of Gambling" before the release have reached 60 million, which is not very high, compared with those movies that have pre-sold more than 100 million, or even pre-sold movies that have broken 200 million, it is too low.
However, it seems that it was only by relying on such a pre-sale that "The Saint of Gambling" survived the first day.
The film critic swore that the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" on the second day would definitely cross, and it would collapse in its entirety, and there would be no greater development at all.
In fact, the box office was similar to what they had guessed.
The box office on the second day was not as good as the box office on the first day, which was only 90 million.
The film critics completely lost their voices, and Jiang Xia continued the consistent style of his works, that is, word-of-mouth stability, box office stability, and a small decline.
But this is not the result that the critics want to see, how can it be that the drop is so small? Don't see our shiny bad reviews? What are you viewers thinking?
In fact, what the audience thinks is very simple, the movie is good, so it will be praised.
The movie "The Saint of Gambling" is really good-looking, it is impossible for film critics to say anything, it is full of comedy effects, and it is fun to watch.
As for the box office, in the National Day schedule, the box office is not very good, unless a super blockbuster is released in this schedule and raises the market, it may make the box office higher. The box office of 90 million for two consecutive days is already the reason why the competitive pressure is low, and "The Saint of Gambling" takes advantage.
Film critics are not all stubborn people, and some of them have found a problem, why do so many audiences flock to the movie they think is very bad, and the evaluation is still so high? There must be something wrong, so they went to the second brush to see what is good about Jiangxia's "Saint of Gambling".
After the second brush came back, the film critics still didn't find a problem, until someone sent a film review after someone brushed "The Saint of Gambling" three times, which made the film critics suddenly realize.
Film critic "laughs like a fat man of 300 pounds" - "The Gambling Saint Cheats the Film Critic"
As a film critic, I have to say that Jiang Xia is too unfriendly to us.
When I first went to see "The God of Gambling", I watched it with a good impression of "The God of Gamblers", and then when I came back, I was disgusted, and then I wrote a film review to criticize "The God of Gambling".
Not only me, but many film critics have given "The Saint of Gambling" a low score, and there is also the topic of "Three Seven Open" on the Internet, which is indeed our real reaction. But the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" made us suspect that our evaluation was wrong, accounting for half of the total box office for two consecutive days, if it is still a bad movie, then there is something wrong with our IQ, so I went to watch it a second time, wanting to see where the magic of "The Saint of Gambling" is, so that the audience likes it so much.
However, after I finished watching it for the second time, it felt the same as the first time, it was indeed a bad movie, a hodgepodge of relying on vulgar jokes to win the audience's laughter, why did so many people like to watch it?
Jiang Xia's "The Saint of Gambling" must not be regarded as the second part of "God of Gamblers", and it should not be viewed with a critical eye, but should be watched with a relaxed and entertaining attitude, and then it will smile back and forth like me.
In the first two brushes of "The Saint of Gambling", I was critical of the jokes in the movie, and I was disdainful, and then I didn't understand the essence of the jokes, so I commented on the bad movie "The Saint of Gambling". When I really gave up the eyes of a film critic, didn't look at the movie, didn't look for the fault of the movie, and just watched the movie, I found that this was really a good movie, why do I say that? Because I, a person who has watched three times, can still laugh when I see those laughs, and when I walk out of the movie theater, I suddenly understand why "The Saint of Gambling" will be successful.
Take "The Saint of Gambling" alone, a comedy, a comedy mixed with gambling, a comedy with action and love, no matter how many elements are added, this is still a comedy, and you must watch it with the mentality of watching a comedy.
In the past, we watched comedy movies, watched them, laughed at them, and then we didn't want to watch them a second time, and even when we watched them a second time, it was already difficult to laugh, especially if we watched them a second time in a short time, it would feel quite boring.
"The Saint of Gambling" is different, I watched it three times in three days, and I still feel funny, this is definitely strength.
Compared with "God of Gamblers" filmed in one month, "The Saint of Gamblers" filmed in three months is really not in vain Jiangxia's wasted time, and it can really show its skills, and it also tricks us by the way. The schedule reason and the second part of "God of Gamblers" made us film critics ignore the fact that it is a comedy itself, and we are all picking on the jokes, people themselves are comedies, how to show the laughter, that is the movie, it is very in line with the temperament of this movie, and the integration is very traceless, very perfect. If this movie is placed in the Lunar New Year file, I don't think film critics will make mistakes, but in the National Day file, they all think that it will be a little more serious, but I didn't expect Jiang Xia to be so unserious.
Now if I were to rate "The Saint of Gambling", I would give "The Saint of Gambling" a score of 7.7, an absolute high score, this comedy movie is fantastic, it is definitely worth watching.
……
As soon as the film review of "Laughing Like a 300-pound Fat Man" came out, many film critics saw it and suddenly realized that they really didn't put their real minds on the movie, they all focused on finding faults, and their mentality was really like "laughing like a 300-pound fat man", and they didn't really watch this movie as a comedy.
As a result, film critics changed their confessions one after another, wrote a new film review, and praised "The Saint of Gambling" to the sky.
When You Fangfei came to visit the class, she told Jiang Xia about these film critics who changed their confessions, but Jiang Xia didn't care much. What he cares about is Jiang Chenxi's first birthday.
Although Jiang Chenxi was born on the territory of capitalism, and the birthday on her ID card is also the birthday of the solar calendar, when she celebrates her birthday, it is still the birthday of the lunar calendar, which is the calendar left by the ancestors, and people have to remember it.
Jiang Chenxi, who is one year old, can already walk two steps in a baby walker, and Jiang Xia is very relieved to see it.
"When will you leave?" Jiang Xia asked in surprise hugging Jiang Chenxi.
"It's been half a month. You Fangfei said, "It's not that I can walk, but I can learn two steps." ”
"It's nice to be able to learn two steps. Jiang Xia said with a smile.
"There's another surprise. You Fangfei said.
"What surprise?" Jiang Xia asked.
You Fangfei said to Jiang Chenxi: "Call Dad." ”
In Jiang Xia's surprised eyes, Jiang Chenxi shouted, "Biao Biao!"
"Are you really good at talking?" Jiang Xia said in surprise, "My good daughter is really amazing, hahahaha." ”
You Fangfei said: "I'm not very proficient, my mother is very proficient in shouting, and my father doesn't teach the word much, so I don't usually shout and haven't practiced." Dawn, call Mom. ”
Sure enough, Jiang Chenxi turned her head to You Fangfei and shouted, "Mom." ”
This "Mom" is much clearer than "Dad", and more practice is really effective.
"Good, good, good. "Jiang Xia has said a lot in a row, which is very good.
He hasn't seen Jiang Chenxi since he started filming "The City is Full of Golden Armor" in August, but in July before the start of filming, he went to see Jiang Chenxi, and after the filming really started, this is the first time he has seen Jiang Chenxi in nearly three months.
You Fangfei brought Jiang Chenxi to celebrate Jiang Chenxi's birthday, Jiang Xia naturally would not refuse, and there was a more enthusiastic person than Jiang Xia who was busy working, that was Cheng Xin.
Hearing that Jiang Chenxi was going to celebrate her birthday, Cheng Xin immediately took it over.
"My daughter's birthday must be done well. Cheng Xin said, "You all don't care, I'll arrange it, and I have to arrange it." ”
"Catch Zhou?" You Fangfei said, "I really haven't thought about this." ”
"Catch. Jiangxia said.
Although he was going to celebrate Jiang Chenxi's birthday, he didn't stop filming, but took time to hold a birthday banquet in the evening. didn't call everyone, called a few main actors, and then called a few friends, such as Xiang Ying and Lin Moyan, to come and get together.
Jiang Chenxi is still young, she doesn't understand anything, she finished her birthday in a daze, except for staring at it, she didn't do anything, oh, it's not that she didn't do anything, when Lin Moyan hugged her, she thought that Lin Moyan was You Fangfei, and bit down on Lin Moyan's chest, if You Fangfei hadn't found out quickly, Lin Moyan would really have to be bitten, and feel the feeling of being a mother breastfeeding in advance.
After the birthday banquet, it is to catch the week.
There were a lot of things around, putting Jiang Chenxi in the center, Jiang Chenxi looked here and there, and he didn't know what he was doing, but he finally climbed over to a microphone.
"Looking at the posture, holding the microphone to be the host?" You Fangfei asked Jiang Xiadao.
"Perhaps, it could be the chocolate next to the microphone. Jiang Xia said, "Maybe it's a foodie." ”
"I think it's the pen next to the microphone, probably a writer. Cheng Xin guessed.
Lu Xiuping said: "Now the writer should be holding the keyboard, right?"
Qiao Xue said: "You may also be a singer with a microphone, right?"
"Yes, yes, maybe a singer. The corners of Jiang Xia's mouth twitched slightly.
The corners of his mouth twitched because, if Jiang Chenxi really wanted to be a singer, he would definitely come to him to ask for songs, and what else could he take out at that time? Imagine that eighteen years later, Jiang Chenxi made his debut and reached out to Jiang Xia to ask for songs, Jiang Xia's songs were all given to Gong Shan, and there was no stock, so he could only give her songs like "Worried" and "Perfume Poisonous".
Jiang Chenxi seemed to feel her father's resentment, and stopped halfway through the climb, then turned her head to look, and climbed in a different direction, this time she didn't stop, ran over and grabbed her target.
Everyone around was stunned for a moment, because Jiang Chenxi grabbed a key, a car key.
"What does this mean?" Cheng Xin asked, "My goddaughter wants to be a race car driver?"
"I'm glad you didn't say you were the driver. Jiang Xia said, "It's amazing, my daughter is going to be an old driver's rhythm?"
"Make good money, I guess you will have to buy a car for a long time in the future." You Fangfei said, "It's not okay if the garage is not enough." ”
Jiang Xia nodded and said, "That's a must." ”
Jiang Chenxi was having a good time playing with the car key at this time, the car key was Cheng Xin's, it was estimated that Jiang Chenxi had never seen it, so he picked it up curiously, and was gnawing on the car key while holding it.
You Fangfei hurriedly went over and took the key out of her mouth, Jiang Chenxi didn't cry, just took the car key and didn't let go.
After watching the rest of the stars, they came over to say goodbye and leave.
After Jiang Xia sent these stars away, he reluctantly put away the things around him.
"What do you want her to catch?" asked Cheng Xin.
You Fangfei also looked at Jiang Xia curiously.
"There's nothing to think about, no matter what she wants to do in the future, I, as a father, can only support it. Jiang Xia said.
"Then what do you want her to catch the most?" You Fangfei asked.
Jiang Xia picked out a pile of things, picked out a toy and said, "I want her to catch this and live a carefree life." ”
"Parents are all about this idea. You Fangfei said.
"It's not early, I'm resting, and I have to film tomorrow. Jiang Xia stretched and said.
"Yes, rest. Cheng Xin said.
On October 5th, it was not a good day for the entire Hengying, because the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" began to decline, and the decline was relatively obvious, and the box office decline of "The Saint of Gambling" was prominent and had begun to weaken.
94 million on the first day, 90 million on the second day, 80 million on the third day, and 62 million on the fourth day.
The total box office is strong enough, but the drop is a little too obvious, Cheng Xin asked Jiang Xia at noon: "How can the drop be so big?"
"It's normal, isn't it strange that the box office continues to decline?" Jiang Xia said while eating green vegetables.
"Last year's star wish rose against the trend. Cheng Xin said.
Jiang Xia said with a smile: "It's different, Gambling Saint is a comedy, a commercial film, and Xingyuan is a romance film, and the concept is different." Don't worry, the box office of the gambling saint will definitely be higher than Xingyuan. ”
"I'm not worried about the box office, I'm worried about other things, like someone standing up and causing trouble, saying that your movie is nothing more than that. Cheng Xin said.
"The eyes of the masses are bright. Jiang Xia said, "The gambling saint now has a box office of more than 300 million, and it has only been four days, which is enough." In this period of the National Day file, my expectation for the gambling saint is to win 400 million in seven days, and then 600 million to 700 million in the entire release schedule, of course, 800 million is better. ”
"You're aiming so low. ”
"This goal is real, if it is a Chinese New Year file, I will aim for 1.4 billion, the schedule is different, and the expectations are different. This is normal. Jiang Xia said.
