Chapter 300: July

On July 12, the summer file ushered in the release of several new films again.

Nine films, including "Searching" directed by Chen Kaige, "The Wind Listener" directed by Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xunzhun, "The Four Famous Catches" starring Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei, "The Code of Heaven and Earth in Dawudang" starring Zhao Wenzhuo and Fan Shaohuang, and the historical war movie "1894: The First Sino-Japanese Sea Battle" were released at the same time in mid-July, intending to make a soup in this domestic protection month.

Before that, "Painted Skin 2" had won a box office of 960 million after 14 days of screening, and it was just around the corner to break through 1 billion.

Since the release of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", it has received a total box office of 780 million, and the single-day box office has fallen below 20 million, and there is no hope of breaking through 1 billion.

With the release of nine new films, the scheduling of these two films has been further compressed, and "Painted Skin 2" still ranks third with 18% of the film schedule relying on the box office of 30 million in a single day.

"Listener to the Wind" relied on the two stars to get the highest 26% of the film schedule in a single day.

"The Four Famous Catches" ranked second with 21% of the films.

"Searching" got 14% of the film schedule with the name of Chen Kaige.

"The Legend of Mortal Immortals" continued to decline because of the continuous decline in attendance and box office, and only 11% of the films were scheduled on the day.

These five films alone account for 90 percent of the schedule, and the remaining six films will share the remaining 10 percent.

Although only one movie reached a billion box office in July, it was even more intense than last year, and nine movies were released at the same time, plus "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" and "Painted Skin 2" are one movie, and the highest number of films is only 26%.

And the box office of the day proved all this as soon as it came out.

"The Wind Listener" won the box office of the day with the highest ranking film, earning 24 million on the first day.

"The Four Famous Catches" followed with a score of 20 million.

"Painted Skin 2" plummeted by 60 percent, and the box office naturally plummeted, only receiving 18 million box office on the same day, ranking third.

Chen Kaige's "Search" won 12 million at the first-day box office.

And the box office of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", which has only 11 percent of the films, has been cut in half again, and the box office has fallen below 10 million on the same day, and only 9 million has been harvested.

Twenty-four million, twenty million, eighteen million, twelve million, nine million.

These four sets of figures fully illustrate the cruelty of the summer file, so many movies were released at the same time, and none of them had a box office of more than 30 million.

Not to mention that there are several street movies with only one or two million or even hundreds of thousands.

In the next three days, "The Wind Listener" still occupied the box office champion by a narrow margin, winning a total of 85 million in the three days from Friday to Sunday, with a total box office of 109 million, and it was also the only newly released film with a box office of more than 100 million.

"The Four Famous Catches" won 95 million box office in the first weekend and four days, only 5 million short of the 100 million mark.

"Painted Skin 2" received a total of 80 million box office in four days, and the total box office successfully exceeded the billion mark, reaching 140 million.

"Searching" won 50 million box office in four days after its release, and is expected to break through the 100 million yuan mark.

"The Legend of Mortal Immortals" only received 35 million box office in four days, and the total box office reached 815 million.

Half of July has passed, and the box office of several movies has also stabilized, and there are no big hit movies, let's follow the current trend and word of mouth, as long as there is no big change in the film schedule in the later stage, the total box office of these movies can basically be inferred.

"Painted Skin 2" and "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" have been released for more than half a month, and the popularity has slowly dissipated, and the media have turned their attention to several other movies.

"Listener to the Wind", as the box office champion of the past four days, coupled with the popularity of Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xun, has naturally become the focus of the media.

"The Four Famous Catches", as Liu Yifei and Huang Xiaoming, the two commercial films of the Mesozoic generation star monoclonal antibody, have a box office of nearly 100 million yuan in four days of release, although it is not as good as Deng Chao, Lu Yi, Chen Kun, these contemporaries have a box office of one billion yuan, but it is also very good among actors of the same age.

At least in the past two years, the group of people who were called "Four Little Students" and "Four Little Flowers" with them were either in the TV drama circle or playing soy sauce in movies, and the "Legend of the White Snake" starring Huang Shengyi, who mixed better, also hit the street.

Wang Ruodan's "Search" did not do well at the box office.

Tong Dawei played soy sauce in "Red Cliff", "Let the Bullets Fly", and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

Yin Xiaotian has hardly been seen in recent years.

Nie Yuan has no works other than "New Journey to the West" and "New Three Kingdoms".

And this "Four Famous Shops" can be regarded as a good start for Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei's big screen road.

"Directed by Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang, starring Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xun, "The Wind Listener" has been rising at the box office since its release on the 12th of this month. According to incomplete statistics, as of Sunday night, the total box office has exceeded the 100 million mark, not only becoming the weekly box office champion, but also the third Chinese film to break 100 million at the box office this summer, and also creating the best start for Chinese spy war films. ”

"Early yesterday morning, Zhou Kehua, the gunman who robbed Chongqing with a gun, was shot dead by the police. On the Internet, some netizens rumored that Zhou Kehua was watching "The Wind Listener" in the theater the night before he was killed, so that he was recognized. For this rumor, the two directors seemed shocked. Zhuang Wenqiang said in surprise: "He...... He didn't use the money he stole to watch our movie, did he? I don't know what to say, but fortunately he was killed, and now he really has to listen to the wind. At the same time, they said that they would not bring the subject to the screen. ”

According to the box office of the special funding office, last week, "The Four Famous Catches" ended the box office champion of "Painted Skin 2" for half a month with a box office of 20 million. Four days after its release, this giant production that promotes new concepts and new martial arts has nearly exceeded 100 million, and according to this situation, there is no suspense about beating the box office of "Martial Arts" in the same period last year. Obviously, all kinds of sour water can no longer hide the fact that "The Four Famous Catches" was a box office success. The amazing performance of the villain Wu Xiubo has driven many fans and has become a major feature of the film. ”

The audience complained that the plot of "The Four Famous Catches" is too subversive to accept, ruthless intention kills, cold-blooded werewolves, iron hands can generate electricity, some netizens laughed that the four famous catches are more like the costume version of the "Fantastic Four", but it is the villain An Shigeng who was praised for his super performance is a major highlight, a netizen commented, "The character An Shigeng in the film, the atmosphere of the whole film was reversed by him, and there is no need to pay special attention, and the impression is very deep." His performance is full of "demonic energy" and has a strong aura. This character exudes an eerie atmosphere throughout, not only because of the makeup, but also because of his exaggerated performance. He shows the evil side of the character, as well as the deeper aspects of his character. The mind of the traitor is unpredictable, and his personality is dark and weird. ”
