There are no masterpieces worth looking forward to in the film market in November, after all, there are National Day files in front and Chinese New Year files in the back, and blockbusters are all going to these two schedules.

Among the several movies that compete with "Room" on the same schedule, it is worth mentioning only "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers", which went to Cannes to bring back soy sauce, and "I Am a Witness" starring Yang Xuejian's partner Lu Han.

"The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" has nothing to say, their group of directors didn't plan to rush to the box office when they made movies, they all lived by selling copyrights. The only pity is that I didn't get the award this time, and it is estimated that the copyright income will be discounted a lot.

The popularity of "I Am a Witness" is quite high, after all, it is a cooperation between the most popular and the first in traffic. Of course, the results of the crew's marketing behind the scenes are indispensable.

The press release also cooperated and bought a lot, but what is a little surprising is that this time, in addition to some regular fancy praises such as "beautiful girl", this time there was also an unexpected lot of news about Yang Xuejian's "explosive acting skills".

I don't know how "flammable and explosive" these recent actors are, and they are about to "explode" at every turn.

In the producer's view, it's like finding the most popular boys and girls in the whole grade to work together to do the test papers, and doing the test papers that already have the original questions, it must be easy to get a good score.

Unfortunately, it is estimated that they have been away from campus for too long. The positive correlation between academic performance and popularity only occurs in the second semester of the third year of high school and during the exam week of college. Outside of that, the two have nothing to do with each other.

The box office results of the movie were also quite miserable, with a box office of only 30 million on the first day. The next two days saw an increase, accumulating 120 million in three days. Then, there is a cliff-like box office decline. In the two weeks after its release, the cumulative box office was only 200 million, and it is estimated that the total box office in the end is more than 200 million.

The score is okay, 6.1 points, not to mention passing, it is still the one with the highest score in the movie starring Yang Xuejian, super powerful!

Both of these films were released two or three days before "The Room", and the theaters didn't have much hope for them. The single-day box office adds up, and it is not as high as "Ant-Man", which has been released for more than half a month.

In this case, the scheduling rate of "Room" engraved with "Produced by Mu Ming" is naturally a five-star treatment. On the first day of release, the national average film schedule was as high as 35%.

And the results of "Room" can be regarded as paying off, with a box office of more than 73 million on the first day. Considering the factors of schedule and theme, if this result is placed in the outstanding schedule of summer and Spring Festival, it is very likely to break 100 million on the first day.

What's more, this is already the highest record for domestic drama films.

Not only that, but the reputation of the movie is also praised, and the ratings of several scoring websites are all above 8.5.

This should be the best of all Mu Ming's movies, he has left the simple plot and began to add more ideological discussions to the movie. For example, about growth, about freedom, about self-knowledge and self-redemption......"

"When keywords such as abduction, imprisonment, and *** are given, it is generally believed that the safest way to deal with it is to render the tragic atmosphere, and if it is another director, it will inevitably be so. But Mu Ming is different after all, and of course, maybe it is his young blood that makes him good at light. So such a sinful story can be so fresh and beautiful......"

"I was still wondering who Wan Qian was, and why such a little-known actor could surpass Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi and get the Cannes actress. After watching the movie, I realized that sure enough, the winner of each award is worthy of the name. In addition, Director Mu, didn't you think about signing up for the award for that kid?"

“……”

Whether it is the quality of the film itself or the performance of Miss Wan Qian, it has been unanimously praised. Many viewers were moved by the emotion between Qiao Yi's mother and son, this is obviously a work that can warm people's hearts.

The vast majority of classic works often end in tragedy. Because a happy ending will gradually return to dullness with the passage of time, while a tragic and imperfect ending can often shock and impress.

For example, in "Room", if the heroine Qiao Yi chooses to commit suicide in the end, it will undoubtedly be able to discuss some deeper human nature. However, Mu Ming thinks that he is a very cheesy person, he just likes a warm happy ending. Tragedy? non-existent.

There are also benefits, the fresh and warm ending is at least more conducive to the box office, and it seems that most viewers still don't want to feel shocked.

After the word-of-mouth spread on the first day, the single-day box office performance on the second day actually increased, reaching more than 82 million. On the third day after that, although it dropped again, it still had a box office of more than 70 million.

Maoyan's box office forecast changed the previous 350 million to 550 million, after all, the box office is now 220 million, and unlike those bad movies, there will be a cliff-like decline, and the final total box office will obviously not be so simple.

However, the results of "Room" are not tight. In fact, this time, Mizuki Film and Disney cooperated so that the film was also released in North America at the same time.

Because of the support of the results of the previous "Genius Gunman", plus the bonus of Cannes, Disney directly applied for more than 700 screens this time.

Cannes is naturally not as influential as the Oscars in North America, but it also has a lot of attention. Therefore, long before this, there were many viewers who knew about "Room". In addition, Disney's publicity during this time, and Mu Ming's name appeared in North America a few times some time ago, so the results in North America are not bad.

700 screens, with an average attendance rate of nearly 50%. In the first week of its release, it won more than $2 million at the box office. At the same time, there is an IMDB rating of 8.3 and a 94% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Many viewers left messages that this should be an Oscar-level movie.

The touchstone side had also thought about whether to operate it and send the film to the Oscar Academy judges. But the quota for foreign language films is gone, and the normal candidacy does not meet the regulations, so I can only give up in the end.

Teres also deliberately half-jokingly told Mu Ming that if there is a movie of this level in the future, he can consider shooting it in North America, and maybe try to hit the Oscars.

Mu Ming smiled and complained in her heart: If you want to shoot a work of this level again, it is estimated that it will take seven or eight years. After all, there will be fewer and fewer high-quality works in the next few years. And even if there is, I will definitely shoot it in China. As for the Oscars, it doesn't matter.

Mu Ming stayed in China for more than half a month, and then left again. Disney can't wait anymore, and hopes that Mu Ming can start it in advance. Mu Ming thought about it for a while, and there was nothing at hand anyway, so she agreed.

But this time, instead of flying to North America, I turned west and went directly to the United Kingdom. "Kingsman" is a British secret service organization, and its members are all British, so the filming location was naturally chosen in the United Kingdom.

It's already November, thinking about the cold weather in the UK and the bad food, Mu Ming feels that the joy of starting the machine has been consumed a lot.
