In fact, "Burst Drummer" itself is a rather dark story, not as inspirational as everyone says, and in a way anti-inspirational.

However, Zhang Ran maintained neutrality in the movie and did not give his own conclusions, and the actor of the movie did surpass himself in the end and reached a realm that he did not have before, and it is not wrong to say that it is an inspirational movie. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and after a work is auctioned, it is not exclusive to the author, everyone has the right to interpret it.

The comment of netizen "Lan Chengde" was very interesting, he wrote: "I think "Burst Drummer" is really inspirational, because it is the darkest. Only through the boundless darkness can one become brave and strong.

If you want to win, you have to trade your life. If you want to improve yourself and ride alone through thousands of troops, you have to start from now.

I may be cruel when I say it, but the possibilities of the future, the mysteries of life, are hidden deep in these pains. This is not to say that we should pursue suffering, we overcome it not because we like it, but because we cannot escape it.

If I see this film before the college entrance examination, I will definitely die and be admitted to Peking University!

If I had seen this film before falling in love, I would have died and would not have been tired of being with my girlfriend all day long when I should have struggled the most!

I believe that everyone who has fought for the college entrance examination, for work, and for their dreams will be moved to a mess when they see this film. I hope all of you in your third year of high school will watch this movie, it will provide you with the motivation to keep going!"

This post sparked a resonance with many people, and finally netizens made a vote for "Top Ten Inspirational Movies", and many people forwarded the results after they came out. It caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet. Even more than a decade later, the post is still being forwarded. "Burst Drummer" has always ranked first among inspirational films.

After watching "The Burst Drummer", many teachers thought the movie was very good and recommended it to their students. Some schools even organized senior high school students to watch "Burst Drummer" collectively to motivate students to go all out in the last six months and fight for their future.

In a theater in the magic capital, the reporter happened to meet the young writer Han Han, who had just come out of the screening hall of "Burst Drummer", and the reporter conducted a brief interview with him, asking him to talk about his direct views on "Burst Drummer".

Han Han was very averse to exam-oriented education, and he was very interested in education and teachers. There have been a lot of cynicism, and some of them are quite mean. The reporter took it for granted that Han Han would definitely be sarcastic about the movie.

However, to the reporter's surprise, Han Han sang a hymn to "Bursting Drummer": "This movie is quite good, much better than Zhang Yimou's "Hero". I hope that Chinese films can prosper, that investors can give more opportunities to young people, and that the audience needs such directors. Chinese are actually very imaginative and can make movies well. There is a slap in the face in the movie trailer, but unfortunately the feature film of the movie was cut out, and the momentum is much weaker. It is hoped that the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television will broaden its thinking. Take your hands away, you should promote the development of Chinese films instead of restricting them!"

The reporter added: "Some media say that the movie is too extreme and is the embodiment of Zhang Ran's fascist ideology, what do you think?"

Han Han sarcastically said: "The key to a movie is to be good-looking. I'm just here to entertain, "Burst Drummer" is good, that's enough. What age is it now? Why do you still button your hat at every turn. In fact, Zhang Ran did not give his own opinion in the movie, he remained neutral. Any interpretation is the audience's own business, and I think that those who say that people are fascists are fascists!"

Recently, many media have compared "Burst Drummer" with "Hero". lashed out at Zhang Yimou, so a reporter interviewed Zhang Yimou and asked him to talk about his views on "Burst Drummer". Zhang Yimou said politely: "Although Zhang Ran studied film in the United States, I think he is very localized, he combines his own characteristics, his own understanding of this region, and his understanding of China's national conditions and people's feelings, I think "Burst Drummer" has done a good job. ”

With the emergence of various social phenomena and various voices, "Burst Drummer" continues to maintain its exposure, the popularity continues to heat up, and the box office is further rising.

On February 13th, the day before Valentine's Day, four new films were released, the romantic comedy "Very Romantic" directed by Forrest Gump and starring Tong Dawei, Xiao Song Jia and Li Xiaoran, the romantic comedy "Love You Without Regrets" starring Shin Eun-kyung, the heroine of "My Wife is a Big Guy" and Jung Jun-ho, the first beautiful man in South Korea, the American romantic comedy "Love Returns to Alabama" starring Richie Witherspoon, and the romantic film "A Hundred Years of Harmony" directed by Johnny To and starring Louis Koo and Sammi Cheng.

Because there are four new films released, these four films themselves are romantic comedies for Valentine's Day, and "Burst Drummer" does not match the atmosphere of Valentine's Day, so the filming of "Burst Drummer" has plummeted to 22%, which is lower than the 24% of "A Hundred Years of Harmony", ranking second.

But when the box office on Valentine's Day came out, "Bursting Drummer" shattered countless people's lenses.

"Burst Drummer" overwhelmed the crowd and won the box office championship on Valentine's Day with a box office of 413, with a total box office of 4784, while the second-ranked "Hundred Years of Harmony" only had a box office of 2.58 million!

Whether it is the media or insiders, "Bursting Drummer" has nothing to do with Valentine's Day, and is even a bit anti-love, because the hero of the movie thinks that it is a waste of time with the heroine and gives up love in order to pursue his dreams, which can be said to be a breakup film!

Who would have thought that such a movie would dominate on Valentine's Day and overwhelm many romance films?

It can only be said that "Burst Drummer" is so popular that many couples walk into the cinema and see "Burst Drummer", and buy tickets directly, without thinking about what the movie is about.

And on the 15th, the single-day box office of "Bursting Drummer" was 2.63 million, and the cumulative total box office reached 50.47 million, successfully exceeding 50 million!

Given the performance of "Burst Drummer" these days, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before it broke 50 million, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly. The entire film and television industry is boiling!

Not many people were optimistic about "Burst Drummer" at first. Because the schedule of the movie is relatively cold, and there is "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" before. Later, there was "Mouse Falls in Love with Cat", as well as many new films. Even the most optimistic about the box office of this movie also think that the box office can reach 30 million at most! Super high reputation, pick off one powerful opponent after another, and then ride yourself to the dust, and run forward like joy.

There are only two ways to describe the performance of "Burst Drummer" - crazy!

Except for madness or madness!

The box office of 50 million is nothing after ten years, and many movies can exceed this number at the box office in one day. But in 2003, this was a really remarkable achievement!

Feng Xiaogang has always been known for his high box office, but in 2000, Feng Xiaogang's "Endless" had a box office of only 33 million, and in 2001, the box office of "Big Names" was only 43 million. In this day and age. As long as the box office exceeds 50 million, it will lock in the top three of the annual box office!

"Burst Drummer" is a small-budget movie, the director is a newcomer, the actors are mainly newcomers, and the box office can exceed 50 million, which is really jaw-dropping. What's more, although the momentum of "Burst Drummer" is not as good as the second week, it is still much stronger than other movies!

Press the current state. There should be another 20 million box office, or even more!

On February 16, "Bursting Drummer" held a celebration banquet at the Peking Hotel with a box office of more than 50 million.

In fact, the celebration banquet of the movie is a means of publicity, which is the same as box office fraud. As soon as the audience heard that the box office was so high, they felt that the movie was good, and they had the desire to see it.

Right now. "Bursting Drummer" has achieved such a high box office, Zhang Ran naturally wants to do a special event. Get the word out!

At half past six in the evening, the Peking Hotel was boiling. Headset at the door. The doorman in a black suit looks cool and majestic, much like a bodyguard in a Hollywood blockbuster, and feels very professional.

When Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu walked into the clubhouse, the members of the crew and the guests all went inside. Everyone saw Zhang Ran coming over to say hello, and some even joked and asked Zhang Ran if he had prepared a red envelope.

Most of the members of the crew will follow Zhang Ran to continue to shoot the next movie, but there is no need to say anything, only Ning Hao is going to shoot "The Heartbreaker" next, and he has been busy with preparations during this time, and Zhang Ran has not seen anyone. Now when I saw Ning Hao, I asked, "How is the movie prepared?"

"The preliminary work is almost over, the scenery survey is ready, the actors are selected, and now the final preparations are being made. It's expected to start shooting in early April, but it's a pity that you went to the United States to make a film at that time, otherwise I would like to ask you to check it for me!" Ning Hao said modestly. This is not only because Zhang Ran is an investor in the movie, but more importantly, he really learned a lot from Zhang Ran, and he treats Zhang Ran as a teacher.

April was almost the time of the SARS outbreak, although at Zhang Ran's suggestion, the filming location of "Heartbreaker" was set in Rongcheng, far away from Beiping, the hardest-hit area of SARS, but there were still risks, he reminded: "You have enough directing ability, but you are a little lacking in rhythm, just pay a little attention to it." By the way, now the SARS in Guangdong is very bad, it is said that it is very contagious, there are many crew members, it is easy to be infected, you must be careful! The crew must be equipped with doctors, and the money that should be spent must be spent!"

Ning Hao nodded: "I know, you have to be careful abroad!"

Soon, the celebration banquet officially began. Qiu Yuanxu picked up the microphone and said a few words. When the crowd quieted down, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the celebration banquet of "Burst Drummer", there are many guests here today, and we are deeply honored. In the past half month, "Bursting Drummer" has created a miracle and achieved a box office of 50.47 million, and we have reason to believe that this miracle will continue! Next, please Director Zhang Ran say a few words. ”

The microphone was handed to Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran shook the collar of his suit, smiled, and walked on stage.

The reporter below frantically pressed the shutter, and the flash immediately clicked and flashed.

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Actually, there is really nothing to say, the success of the movie is not my credit, but the credit of all the members of the crew." Without everyone's efforts, there would be no movie, let alone this celebration banquet. Just now, a brother asked me if I was preparing a red envelope, I really didn't prepare, but I didn't forget what I said, I said that I would take out 20% of the profit as a dividend to reward everyone, and after the movie was released, I got the money from the theater, and I would make a register to register and send the money to everyone. I won't talk nonsense, everyone won't get drunk today!"

"Long live Director Zhang!" The crew members who came to participate in the celebration banquet applauded and coaxed below. (To be continued.) )
