The real protagonists of the opening game, "1942" and "The King's Feast", actually met unexpectedly. "1942" occupied the end of November early, and its strength was so strong that it was unwilling to play the card of the Lunar New Year.

"The King's Feast", which went through twists and turns to get the release license, is also scheduled for the end of November, mostly because of the "Legend of the Hongmen Banquet" released on the same day in November last year, which has the same theme as "The King's Feast" and is also quite related to Lu Chuan. "1942" and "The King's Feast" are ostensibly close to hand-to-hand combat, and no one can take half a step back.

What's more, there are two blockbuster films that have been introduced, and Ang Lee's new works "Life of Pi" and "2012" 3D, which were launched a week earlier, are also strong opponents.

"Life of Pi" is a Hollywood film made by Lee after seven years, and the "Hulk Hulk", which only received 240 million global box office with an investment of 150 million yuan in 03 years, still had a great impact on him, even if "Brokeback Mountain" directed in the next two years made him win the first Oscar, but this impact could not be diluted.

After filming a "Lust Caution" in China, it took a long time for Li Zhao to start his new drama very cautiously.

For a Chinese-American director, his tolerance for error in Hollywood is definitely not high, and if this movie fails again, he is estimated to be blacklisted by major Hollywood studios like John Woo.

But fortunately, Li Press did not repeat the mistakes of the past this time, and the box office in the mainland has exceeded 200 million in eight days after its release, not only suppressing the 3D of the sci-fi blockbuster "2012" released at the same time to a box office of just over 100 million, but also the reputation has been rising, and the scores of major professional film forums have reached nine points.

In the United States, this movie is not as hot as in the mainland, and the box office so far is less than 40 million.

However, "Life of Pi" has a good box office around the world, and the North American box office has exceeded the 100 million mark worldwide, so with today's word-of-mouth, it can at least recover the cost.

On the 29th, "1942" and "The King's Feast" were fully released in China, and the two domestic blockbusters officially kicked off the New Year file for the first or second year.

Due to the high reputation of "Youth Pi", many IMAX screens in China are occupied by it, and the box office of these two movies has been somewhat affected.

On the first day of release, "1942" got a 60 million opening score, which was much better than Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake" released on the National Day the year before last.

However, at that time, "Tangshan Earthquake" swept the domestic film market and achieved a box office of 800 million.

The first day box office of the epic blockbuster "The King's Feast" starring Liu Ye, Wu Yanzu and Zhang Zhen was only 10 million, only slightly higher than the 3D of "2012".

In the next three days, "1942" won 210 million at the box office, and a total of 270 million in the four days of its first weekend.

And "Life of Pi" is still temporarily the champion of the Chinese New Year with a total box office of 280 million.

"2012" 3D was released for thirteen days and broke 100 million, and the total box office reached 113 million, but both the film schedule and the attendance rate fell to a new low since its release, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to make a breakthrough.

However, to be honest, it is also very good for a converted movie to win 100 million at the box office, which is still the impact of the film winning the second place at the annual box office.

As for "The King's Feast", which only won a pitiful 40 million box office in the four days after its release, it can be regarded as a big blow compared to the investment of 80 million.

In the next few days, several small and medium-cost movies were released one after another, such as the action spy film "Poseidon Code", my country's first youth inspirational cinema film of thanksgiving volunteers, "Flying Youth", the South Korean disaster film "Invasion of Wireworms", and the sequel "My Husband is Unreliable" starring the original actors of "My Wife is Under Eighteen" ten years ago......

However, these movies still failed to pose the slightest threat to several blockbusters, and "Poseidon Code" only won more than 300,000 box office, and it is a matter of whether the money for the copy can be recovered.

The box office of "Invasion of the Iron Worms" is only more than 4 million, and according to the share of imported films, it will only be 1 million yuan in the hands of the producer.

However, the comedy-romance film "My Husband is Unreliable" won 20 million at the box office, and the reputation is average, but it should be able to recover the cost.

On December 12, another blockbuster "Zhu Xian" in the Chinese New Year file officially landed in domestic theaters, and two small-budget movies "Secret Garden" and "Lemon" were released at the same time.

Prior to this, "1942" had successfully surpassed "Life of Pi" to win the champion of the Chinese New Year, with a total box office of 450 million.

The latter also won 500 million domestic box office, while the North American box office reached 61 million, and the Hong Kong box office also exceeded 30 million.

On a global scale, the reputation and trend of "Life of Pi" are very good, and the total global box office has reached 180 million, only one step away from the 200 million mark.

The entire early stage of the Lunar New Year was completely dominated by "1942" and "Life of Pi", and the two films jointly contributed more than 80% of the box office.

Li Mu, who is far away in Shennongjia, is naturally also paying attention to the trends of the Chinese New Year stalls, and he also took the time to watch these movies, and the other movies are almost the same as in his impression, but "1942" is a little different.

It seems that Feng Xiaogang still listened to his own advice, did not make this movie so depressing, and used a little more space to show the warmth and good side of human nature.

The premise of standing and earning money is to be able to earn money, otherwise it will be a standing death at best.

Although with "Tangshan Earthquake" in front of Zhuyu, people's memories of the great famine in southern Henan decades ago are not as profound as the Tangshan earthquake, and the reputation and score of this movie are still inferior to "Tangshan Earthquake".

Even so, most audiences and filmmakers think that "1942" is a warm movie, this movie is not too pessimistic, but believes in the warmth of human nature, giving people the strength to move forward, sad but not sad!

They believe that Feng Xiaogang made this movie with Du Fu's compassion for the people's livelihood, and Qu Yuan's feelings of mourning the difficulties of the people's livelihood. "1942" is a torture of how much human nature and culture can be maintained under the bottom line of human existence, but fortunately, the director still tries to maintain some human warmth and human dignity.

Some bad comments also feel that the story told by Feng Xiaogang is a little empty, from how the allergic government is, how the people are, and how the neon people are. The series of stories told did not make the audience feel that kind of empathy.
