Chapter 288: The end of the National Day file
After carefully combing through the movie, Li Mu suddenly found that Feng Xiaogang, who can only make comedies in everyone's eyes, is not so simple.
If you change any director in China, I am afraid that you may not be able to shoot better than now.
And as far as the entire narrative process is concerned, the movie omits the life and development process of each character, and focuses more time on the detailed scenes of emotional collision, so that one injury scene after another touches everyone again and again!
Feng Xiaogang's grasp of emotions and details can really be said to have reached the point of perfection, I am afraid that even those domestic literary film directors who are good at details may not be able to have this skill!
So overall, this is a bitter drama dressed in the skin of disaster, or great joy or great sorrow, both series have always been a weapon to attract the box office.
And the final result undoubtedly proves this, starting from September 30, as of now, "Tangshan Earthquake" has been released for 26 days, and the total box office has exceeded 800 million, and the blockbusters in the same period have also been severely pressed under him, which is completely unexpected by the public.
On September 21, the box office of the action blockbuster "Jingwu Fengyun Chen Zhen" starring Donnie Yen, Shu Qi, and Huang Qiusheng exceeded 100 million, and only achieved a mainland box office of 113 million, which was a big surprise.
Donnie Yen, who originally had a faint impact on the throne of the king because of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", once again died down, and the major film companies now see Donnie Yen's box office appeal clearly, "Jingwu Fengyun Chen Zhen" and "Jinyiwei" are his real level, and "Brain Heavenly Palace" is just stained with the light of Journey to the West IP.
Other movies in the same period, "Rain of Swords", which was released on September 28, was directed by John Woo and starred famous action actress Yang Zhiqiong, South Korean star Zheng Yusheng, and veteran actor Wang Xueqi.
This is also the second time that John Woo has appeared on the big screen after "Red Cliff" in the next year.
However, this time he failed to create brilliance, after a month of screening, the box office was only more than 50 million, and the box office in Xiangjiang was even more miserable, only 1.4 million.
Another much-anticipated blockbuster, directed by the ghost director Xu Ke, starring the king Liu Dehua, one of the double soldiers Li Bingbing, actress Liu Jialing, and actor Liang Jiahui and many other big-name stars starred in "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" Although the box office exceeded 200 million, it was not enough to watch compared to "Tangshan Earthquake", which has exceeded 800 million.
Since September 30, "Tangshan Earthquake" has continued to shock the public's attention.
Originally, this kind of domestic disaster film has always had no market in the mainland, and the box office estimate given by professionals is only a little over 100 million, which is still in Feng Xiaogang's name.
However, the facts slapped them in the face, on Thursday, September 30, the day before the National Day holiday, only 21% of the film schedule for "Tangshan Earthquake" was given to the theater chain under the attack of three blockbusters, which was far lower than several films in the same period.
However, "Tangshan Earthquake" won a super high box office of 30 million with this 24% of the films, and beat "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire", which won 20 million box office on the second day of its release, and became the box office champion on the day.
And this is also the third domestic movie with a box office of more than 30 million on the first day after "Thai Embarrassment", "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", and "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven"!
Even the previously released Hollywood blockbuster "Inception" did not reach this number, and the entire entertainment industry was boiling for a while, and its influence was not in the slightest under the record-breaking "Havoc in Heaven" at the summer box office.
After all, a large part of the success of "Havoc in Heaven" is due to Journey to the West.
And what about "Tangshan Earthquake"?
Except for Feng Xiaogang and Chen Daoming, others have no box office appeal at all.
For a while, the public was looking forward to the appearance of the fourth billion-level movie.
On October 1, the first day of the National Day holiday, "Tangshan Earthquake" lived up to expectations and won 42 million box office with 34% of the film schedule, an increase of 40%.
For the next two days, the box office remained very stable, hovering around four or five million.
In this way, on the first four days of its release, "Tangshan Earthquake" won a total of 170 million at the box office in the mainland market.
Although the results are good enough, they are far from meeting the expectations of the public.
The four-day box office is less than 200 million, and the schedule is not as popular as the Lunar New Year, Spring Festival, and summer holidays, and the peak of box office production is only the seven-day long holiday, and it is hopeless to break through one billion.
With the spread of word-of-mouth and the further increase in film scheduling, in the four days of October 4, 5, 6, and 7, the box office once again rushed to the peak, and a total of 230 million box office was won in four days.
During the entire National Day holiday, plus September 30th, "Tangshan Earthquake" hit a total of 500 million at the box office in the past eight days, becoming the second fastest film in Chinese film history to break 500 million.
Previously, it took "Thai Embarrassment" to achieve this achievement, while "Avatar" and "The Return of the Great Sage" took ten days and nine days to achieve it respectively.
And the fastest holder to break the record of 500 million is naturally "Havoc in Heaven", which has just been released in the summer, and it only took six days for the box office to exceed 500 million.
As soon as the figure of breaking 500 million in eight days came out, the public, who were already hopeless, began to look forward to it again.
But the result still disappointed them, "Tangshan Earthquake" is a tragedy after all, telling a sad story, and the stamina is not as great as comedy and mythological films.
On October 8, the box office almost halved, plummeting from 53 million on the 7th to 28 million, a drop of nearly 50 percent, which was also the lowest box office day since its release.
However, fortunately, the box office remained above 20 million in the next few days, and twelve days later, that is, on October 20, the box office officially exceeded 800 million, becoming the fourth in the history of Chinese films.
And not only the mainland box office exploded, but even the Xiangjiang market, which has never been waiting to see Feng Xiaogang, has also achieved a good result of 15 million, which is rare.
In this way, most of the entire 2010 o'clock has passed, and the biggest profiteer is undoubtedly Huayi.
The box office of the two movies combined exceeded 2 billion, sweeping away last year's decline, but they made a lot of money.
However, Wang Zhongjun must be crying and laughing now, he originally wanted Feng Xiaogang to plant a good fight and collect his heart before putting it on the National Day file, but he didn't expect to achieve such good results, but the "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" that he had high hopes for did not meet expectations.
