On the morning of July 11th, the single-day box office statistics on the 10th were released, "Myth" continued to break 100 million in a single day, receiving 129 million, still maintaining the champion position, and "Terminator" had a single-day box office of 121 million, ranking second.

So far, the box office figures for the first three days of the first weekend have all been released, and "Myth" is the champion with a box office score of 328 million in the first weekend.

Compared with the box office of 340 million on the first Wednesday of "Kung Fu", which was released in the same period last year, "Myth" is still a little worse, especially when ticket prices have risen this year and inflation is increasing, this distance is even greater.

And director Du An, who defeated Zhou Xingchi in the same period last year, did not exert his magic power again this time, and "The Terminator" ranked second with a first-weekend box office score of 309 million.

"Director Li, let's take a look at a number here. ”

There was Southeast Satellite TV on the TV, and there were two men sitting at the table talking, and Duane was sitting on the sofa watching.

This is a program of Southeast Satellite TV, called "Weekly Film and Television", which starts every Monday night, and the content of the program is that the host and guests talk about some dynamic events in the film and television industry in the past week.

The host Shen Yang said, turned around and clicked on the big screen behind him, only to see a set of number jù modules listed on it.

"390 million, this is the number set by "Pretty Woman in the Moon" in the same period last year, and 340 million, which is the box office result achieved by "Kung Fu" in the same week. Of course, we can see that it took a total of seven days for "Pretty Woman" to achieve a box office of 390 million, while "Kung Fu"'s 340 million is only the box office of the first Wednesday, and the comparison between the two is not objective, but we should also see that at that time, Du An, the director of "Pretty Woman", was far less famous than he is now."

Shen Yang paused for a moment and continued: "Now the popularity of "Terminator" to "Myth", the director of "Terminator", Du An, is far from comparable to last year, which is a positive side. But this time he didn't have a few more days to accumulate the advantage at the box office, which is a downside. Let's assume that these two factors cancel each other out for the time being, and in this comparison, "The Terminator" loses the box office battle with "Myth". Lost with a small disadvantage, from last year's champion to this year's runner-up, Director Li, does this mean that the level of Duane, a young director, is in a declining stage?"

"One Week Film and Television" was originally not famous, and more people still watched some programs of the Central Six Sets. But since last year, the host Shen Yang changed his style and his mouth became poisonous, the ratings of this show have skyrocketed, and the poisonous mouth Shen Yang has become a great selling point, so he has always kept this style.

Now it's time for him to show his poisonous mouth, and that's what the audience loves to watch the most.

Today's guest is Li You, a 32-year-old young director who mainly shoots TV dramas and commercials, and has also made two films, but the box office is very poor. Therefore, he also concentrates on the field of TV dramas and commercials, and from time to time he strings on the stage and goes on the show.

"It's not such a simple comparison,"

Shen Yang can have a poisonous mouth, that is his selling point and style, but Li You can't do this, after all, he still eats in the director circle, and in terms of his status in the director circle, Du An, who is 8 years younger than him, is not someone he can offend.

"A director's level is always there, but the level doesn't mean the box office. Great directors also lose sometimes. There are many factors that affect the box office, such as schedule, publicity, and film quality. The social environment and so on, each of which has an impact, and the level of a director can only be seen from the film itself. ”

"I went to see 'The Terminator' the next day, and in this movie, you can see that director Duane is more skillful. Some of the things that seem a little jerky in "Pretty Woman" are no longer visible in "The Terminator", so in terms of level, Duane is progressing and is in an upward stage, and the box office results also reflect this. The reason why the small disadvantage is lost to "Myth" is also a normal floating range, after all, we can all see that the box office of the two movies is very tight, and the gap is not big, which shows that this young director does have the potential to be a big director. ”

Shen Yang smiled, "Then Director Li, what level do you think the current level of director Du An's level is, and how does it compare with you?"

Du An laughed when he saw this: although it was through the TV screen, he could see that after Shen Yang said this, the corners of Li You's mouth were a little stiff.

This Shen Yang is really poisonous, they all say that beating people does not slap their faces, scolding people does not expose their shortcomings, he is beating people and slapping his face.

However, people who dare to do this on TV are very rare, and it is no wonder that so many people love to watch it.

"Compared to me, I'm definitely not as good as me,"

Li You smiled reluctantly, "As for the level, I personally think that it should be the top level of our young generation of Chinese directors." ”

"Young generation of directors,"

Shen Yang grabbed the key words in his words, "So what about comparing with a big director like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige?"

Li You said honestly: "I think there is still a bit of a gap. ”

The two chatted on this topic for a while, and then Shen Yang asked: "Then Director Li, do you think that the box office of "Terminator" will have any hope of surpassing "Myth" in the future?"

Li You said: "There is always hope, but there is not much hope. ”

Not only is it not big, Du You can already see from the expression on his face that Li You doesn't think that "Terminator" can surpass "Myth" at all, so he just saves face for Du An.

It's not just Li You who thinks so, Du You knows that basically everyone thinks so, even if he continues to follow the original trend.

However, if you pass through Li You's words, he has an understanding of his own positioning.

The top level among young directors, it seems that this is the outside world's positioning of themselves, and it seems that there is not a small gap between the "king of the world" who shouted in junior high school.

First of all, at the box office, he is far from qualified, not to mention the milestone "Hero", that is, "Kung Fu", with the momentum of "Terminator" now, it is difficult to catch up. And others are also improving, Chen Kaige's "Wuji" will be launched immediately with an investment of 300 million, and it is possible that it will create a new history.

He is improving, others are also improving, and if he wants to be the king of the world, he still has too many people to surpass.

The biggest thing in the film and television industry in the past week is that the two films "Myth" and "Terminator" were released at the same time, so the main topic of "One Week Film and Television" today is focused on this, and after talking about the box office, Shen Yang began to talk about awards again.

"Director Li, everyone knows that at the end of next month, the shortlist of the Huabiao Award will be released, in "Myth" and "The Terminator", who do you think is more likely to win the Huabiao Award?"

This question is in the script, so Li You replied without thinking: "I don't think these two movies are likely to be shortlisted for the Huabiao Awards, but for the best special effects, these two films are still likely to be shortlisted." As for the best picture, I think that Du An's "One Flew Over the Asylum" in May is very likely to be shortlisted, and even Du ane may win the Huabiao Award for Best Director. ”

Shen Yang nodded: "The reputation of "One Flew Over the Asylum" is indeed very good, but recently I heard an interpretation that this film alludes to the Huabiao Award. I took a re-look at it according to this point of view, and found that it was true, in the face of such a film that alluded to the award jury, would the Huabiao Awards really give it an award?"

Li You smiled, "I'm sure it will." ”

Shen Yang also smiled, "If that's the case, then this year's Huabiao Award will be wonderful." ”

Some people will definitely feel as bad as eating.

After watching "One Week of Film and Television", Du An watched other programs for a while, and when Su Jin came back, he washed up and fell asleep.

On the morning of July 12, the box office numbers on the 11th and Monday came out, and as everyone could expect, "Myth" continued to beat "Terminator" with a single-day box office of 82.1 million to beat "Terminator" with a single-day box office of 77 million.

There is no fluctuation in the market environment, no change in schedule, and no obvious gap in word-of-mouth theaters, no matter how you look at it, "Myth" will continue to beat "Terminator" until it is lowered.

"It's a good situation,"

Lu Fanghe's voice on the phone was very satisfied.

He is indeed very satisfied: the investment in "Terminator" is not as high as "One Flew Over the Asylum", but according to the current momentum, the income can be much higher than that of "One Flew Over the Asylum", and analysts predict that the global box office of "The Terminator" may exceed 2 billion.

2 billion, what is he not satisfied with?

Duane didn't say anything, he was still waiting.

leisurely stayed at home for a day, watched TV on the Internet, talked to Shu Yutong on the phone to talk about something, and the day passed.

July 13th

Duane changed his habit of getting up at ** o'clock, got up at six o'clock, went downstairs to the door of the community to buy breakfast, and got a few newspapers back by the way.

Putting breakfast on the dining table, he sat down at the table, took a copy of the "Nanyang Morning News", flipped to the entertainment section, and the headline on the front page was a big news.

"400 million! The highest investment movie in history is released".

Looking down, it's the specific content.

""The Terminator" has just been released and is being screened, and director Duane has new news. It is reported that Duane Holdings' Industrial Light & Magic Company is about to invest in a new film, and the shareholders also include China Film Group Corporation and DreamWorks Film and Television Culture Communication Company, with the participation of multiple parties, the cost of the film will be as high as 400 million yuan, according to the cost of production, it can be said that it is the highest investment film since the founding of the People's Republic of China, showing that the era of large-scale production has arrived.
