Chapter 1097: Praise
A month after the release of "Ghost Love", the box office data is still strong and remains on the weekly box office rankings of many national film markets at home and abroad, which really shocked everyone and shattered their glasses.
No one expected that this small-budget romance movie, which was not valued much before, would have such a huge potential for box office results after its release, and it would last so long.
Even after a month, the current weekly box office results are still better than many movies that have just been released.
Such a strange box office trend reminds many film companies of the situation in the film market more than ten years ago.
In the film market at that time, it was basically normal for a movie to be released for two months.
Like nowadays, it takes basically only one month for a movie to be released from its release, unless a few movies are super blockbuster, extremely attractive, and have a very high attendance rate, the release time will be extended, and the vast majority of movies will be painted within a month of release, which is an iron law.
When "Ghost Love" was released in the third week, many theater companies found that the movie had a super high attendance rate.
After two weeks of large-scale releases, it is inevitable that various theater companies will adjust and reduce the number of screen screenings of "People and Ghosts" according to their usual practice.
And that's a natural thing.
But no one expected that after the number of theaters and the scheduling rate of "Ghost Love" were reduced, the attendance rate continued to remain at a very high level, and there were still a large number of fans who chose to watch this movie.
Therefore, although the box office performance of the third week of "Ghost Love" has dropped a lot compared with the previous two weeks, it has surpassed most of the movies released at the same time.
In this case, even if the theater company thinks on its toes, it should know what kind of decision to make.
As a result, in the fourth week, the release scale of "Ghost Love" was only slightly reduced compared with the third week, and the number of theaters was not reduced on a large scale as usual.
And "The Ghost is Not Over" also repaid the trust of the theater company with stable box office results.
This also has the fifth week of release, and the theater chain is still slowly reducing the scale of the release, and there is no sudden large-scale reduction, and after the release of "The Ghost Love" in the fifth week, it once again repaid the theater company with stable box office results.
Perhaps at this time, the box office performance of "Ghost Love" has dropped sharply compared with the premiere, but compared with the box office performance of ordinary movies, it is not inferior at all, and even surpasses most ordinary movies.
This also strengthened the inner thoughts of all cinema companies.
In the eyes of all cinema companies, profit and money always come first.
Since "Ghost Love" can bring them benefits, then they will definitely squeeze out the last vestige of the box office potential of this movie, so even if they don't need to be arranged by Oriental DreamWorks, they will continue to arrange theaters to maintain the scale of the release, which can continue to bring them rich returns.
"The Ghost Love" has such an endurance at the box office, and it has always stayed on the box office rankings, and it really surprised many people by refusing to come down.
The production of this small-budget romance movie that has not been taken seriously has now shown a terrifying box office money-attracting potential, which really shocked everyone's attention.
If such box office results are put on other super blockbusters with a production cost of more than 100 million yuan and a luxurious cast, such as "Three Kingdoms" and "Transformers", everyone may not be surprised, after all, blockbusters have such advantages and traditions.
But such box office potential is too surprising to put it on a small-budget production, except for Yang Ming, a romance film with no heavyweight star lineup.
This Yang Ming is too demonic, right?
is still as some other people commented, even if it is ****, as long as Yang Ming makes it, it is not the same ****, and it can be sold at a sky-high price.
When the negative news about the Xiao consortium became more and more intense, "People and Ghosts" once again stepped in, grabbed the news headlines, and became the object of heated discussion in many media.
"A classic of romance films, superb characters, unforgettable theme songs, and wonderful special effects, this is the reason why Yang Ming is successful again, even if it is just a low-budget production, he can make a classic movie. ”
"What kind of love movie can we never forget? There are not many to count in detail, but "The Love of People and Ghosts" should definitely be one of them, this movie touched every audience with unswerving love until death. ”
Maybe Yang Ming did not use shocking special effects to attract the audience's attention this time, but replaced it with an unforgettable eternal topic - love, in this "Ghost Love" movie, I have to admit that after several years of training, Yang Ming has fully matured as a director; Tear-jerking, with melodious music, perfectly combined with the story in the film, giving the audience a detached and aesthetic spiritual enjoyment!"
"It's not difficult to understand why this movie has been released for a month, and there are still countless audiences who are willing to pay for tickets to watch it, because classics are always immortal!".
"The Love of People and Ghosts" has been released for a month, and its charm has not diminished, and it still attracts a large number of viewers to buy tickets to watch, which has once again attracted heated discussions from many media.
Moreover, many well-known figures in the film industry at home and abroad also gave high praise to Yang Ming's new film professionally.
Even some well-known people directly said that whether it is the Golden Dragon Award in China, or the Oscar in the United States, or the Cannes Award in Europe, there is no need to evaluate next year's selection, if there is no special accident, "Ghost Love" deserves to win the award.
Yang Ming's popularity and popularity, in the praise of the media and celebrities, once again became famous all over the world, and his influence increased again.
At the same time, the other actors of "Ghost Love" have also gained a lot.
In addition to Yang Ming and Su Su, Guo Xiaotian, who played the villain, was very popular, and finally washed away the influence of idol stars on his body and successfully transformed.
And Whoopy, who has been working hard for acting, hoping to break into the sky in the entertainment industry, this time, she is really famous.
Her image of Horta, the psychic medium in the movie, has become a classic screen image, and the character she created is also a highlight in the movie, and the character is extremely flattering, which makes her popularity skyrocket, whether in China or in the Western entertainment industry.
All kinds of film appointments are flocking in, and you don't have to worry about not being able to get the drama at all.
Faced with this situation, Whoopi couldn't close his mouth with a smile and called Yang Ming several times to thank him.
In addition, the biggest harvest will belong to Susu.
This actress, who is rumored to be Yang Ming's girlfriend, with her amazing performance in "Ghost Love", completely made everyone remember the identity of the character she created in the movie, rather than her identity as Yang Ming's girlfriend in reality.
"Susu, this woman has a domineering and magical power that can be preconceived. The reason for this is, of course, that at the beginning of the film, the image of the heroine clearly preceded anyone else and jumped into mind. I don't know how I should describe such a woman, who is slender and small, but also exquisite—though her beautiful figure is hidden deep in a wide gray man's shirt, and she has an angel's face, but her hair is cut like a truant student, and her playful bangs are a pair of typical Oriental eyes, deep and affectionate. ”
She appeared in the camera with such a somewhat surprising and somewhat contradictory appearance. ”
"At first, I thought that the film was just a love lament for a loving little couple who continued their lives after different paths, but Su Su's appearance changed all this, just imagine, there is such a woman in a love, she is playful and mature, casual and beautiful, she is elegant like a swan when she doesn't speak, but she is as pure and immaculate as a baby when she smiles, with such a woman, no matter how ordinary love is, it is destined to be extraordinary, isn't it?"
Especially in the West, countless media have enshrined Su Su as a new generation of goddesses in Oriental China, and "Hollywood Movie Weekly" in the entertainment industry of the United States has highly praised Su Su's importance in the movie "People and Ghosts".
Even evaluating this movie, Su Su is the soul, even Yang Ming is quite inferior.
When Yang Ming saw this comment, he immediately showed it to Su Su with a smile, and was very happy for Su Su.
He knows better than anyone what Susu has done on this movie.
If he is busy thinking about the role of this movie, coupled with his memory of watching the film in his previous life, he can score a high score of 90 points in the movie.
So as for Su Su, Yang Ming thinks that at least an absolute high score of 150 points should be played.
No one knows better than him that in order to ponder the role, Su Su memorized the script all day long, made character notes, and even in order to figure out the psychology of the character, for several months in a row, she treated Yang Ming with the mentality of a movie character.
It can be said that without Su Su's so much dedication, there would not have been such a brilliant success of "People and Ghosts".
It is precisely because of Su Su's amazing performance that the success of "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" is more classic and brighter.
Yanjing, a business building.
"A pair of dog men and women!"
Xiao Bufan looked at the news comments in the newspaper that praised Yang Ming and Su Su throughout, muttered a sentence with a gloomy face, and then threw the newspaper aside.
In recent times, he has been in a bad mood.
The negative news about the Xiao consortium has caused a sudden increase in pressure on the family's side, maybe these news will not cause fatal harm to the Xiao family, but it is enough to make the Xiao family pay a great price in order to slowly eliminate the impact of these negative news.
And in those negative news, there is no less mention of him Xiao Bufan, some of the things he did in the entertainment industry before were turned out of old accounts and settled, which made him quite embarrassed.
It's no wonder that the mood can be good.
- Knock knock.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and after Xiao Bufan allowed it, a staff member walked in cautiously, put a stack of documents in front of him, and reported: "Mr. Xiao, this is the development plan of the timely film next month, according to the plan, our goal next month is to triple the number of new users." ”
"Hmm!"
Xiao Bufan nodded, hearing this report, his mood inexplicably changed a lot.
Seeing the figure of the staff leaving, his expression eased a lot, but he didn't look at the work plan on the table.
On the side of the Huaxia Branch of Timely Films, with the resources of the Xiao family and the other two film giants, the development is extremely rapid, although it cannot be compared with Maoyan Movies for the time being, but at least it has suppressed the development momentum of other film e-commerce platforms.
He believes that it won't be long before the development of timely movies will surpass Maoyan movies.
As long as he thought of this goal, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Bufan's face.
Yang Ming!
Now for him, as long as he can hit Yang Ming, everything is something that makes him feel happy.
"Liao Zhai", the theme song of the Asian Cup, Mingjing's betrayal, made Xiao Bufan's reputation in the entertainment industry suddenly become stinky, and the glamorous coat that he used to wear on his body was completely torn apart, which made Xiao Bufan, who has always regarded himself very highly, angry in his heart.
Therefore, he wanted to do everything he could to take revenge on Yang Ming.
Timely cinema is what he wants to do most now.
With the strong capital strength behind the Xiao family, there will be basically no problem in supporting the development of an Internet company.
At this moment, Xiao Bufan's mobile phone suddenly rang, he glanced at it, and stared slightly, Bai Chongshi's phone.
He took the phone, connected it, talked for a while, and after hanging up the phone, his face became extremely ugly, and his eyes flashed with surprise.
"New users watch movies for 1 yuan?"
"The negative news of the Xiao family was hyped up by Shangguan Tian, Wen Jingtao, and Cao Mengsheng!"
Bai Chongshi told Xiao Bufan two pieces of news, each of which made him feel unbelievable.
Especially the news behind made Xiao Bufan feel angry in his heart, and after a while, he immediately called his father on his mobile phone to tell his father about the real reason for the negative news about the Xiao family consortium.
"Well, I know, you don't have to worry about this, you just need to deal with the timely movie matter on Yanjing's side. ”
My father's voice was as calm as water on the phone.
Xiao Bufan's heart was originally full of anger, as if he was poured down by a basin of cold water, and he couldn't help blurting out and asking: "Father, since you know who is doing the ghosts, do we Xiao family want to let them go?"
"Then what do you want? Find someone to beat them, or find someone to kill them?" Father Xiao asked lightly, and when he talked about the back, he couldn't help but sigh: "Extraordinary, the Xiao family is neither an underworld nor a government agency, our Xiao family is just a legally operated family business, that's all, there are some things you don't have to think too much, you do the things at hand first, you are not small, you should take your own responsibility." ”
After saying this, Xiao's father hung up the phone without waiting for Xiao Bufan's reaction.
Xiao Bufan was left holding his mobile phone, his eyes widened, revealing a look of disbelief, he didn't expect his father to be so angry with him this time.
He put down his phone with an ugly face, his mind buzzing, and it took a long time for him to regain his composure.
Xiao Bufan is not a rich second generation who doesn't know anything, after thinking about it, after he made a call to a housekeeper, he figured everything out, hung up the phone silently, looked at the desktop for a while, and then sighed faintly.
Immediately, his mood quickly returned to normal, and when his eyes saw the name of the newspaper on the table, his heart regained his fighting spirit again, and he must make the other party pay the due price.
"Yang Ming!"
