Chapter 722: Polarized Word-of-Mouth
On Valentine's Day, Cheng Xiaoyu was in a state of disconnection, which was equivalent to being ordered by Su Yuxi to reflect at home, but this did not prevent the box office explosion of the movie. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Later in the afternoon of the next day, the statistics came out, and the single-day box office of Valentine's Day in China reached 470 million, creating a new box office record for Valentine's Day.
"Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" also performed well, earning 110 million, and "My Sassy Girlfriend" also won 90 million at the box office because of the rather intensive film schedule, which is only one step away from breaking 100 million on the first day.
Other movies shared 70 million box office, of which "The Year of Graduation" won more than 47 million box office, and the performance was quite good when the film schedule was not high.
At this time, the "petal" score of "The Year of Graduation" was brushed up to four stars, with a score of seven and eight points, compared with the dismal two and a half stars of "My Sassy Girlfriend", five points and one point, which is simply heaven and earth.
Li Yufeng looked at the box office data with some regrets, the box office explosion on Valentine's Day, but because of his limited resources, he could only watch others share the feast, and even "My Sassy Girlfriend" earned back the cost in one day, which really belongs to lying down and picking up money.
But for the two movies, the real battle only began today, and the next week is the critical period for grabbing money, and the bayonet must be red.
This also shows that Cheng Xiaoyu is inexperienced, and experienced companies have chosen the release date before Valentine's Day, so that the movie can have a short period of time to warm up.
And Cheng Xiaoyu casually set the movie to be released on Valentine's Day, if it weren't for the hard backstage, it is estimated that it will become cannon fodder on Valentine's Day like "Road Hero".
According to the current box office, "The Year of Graduation" has properly broken 100 million, and the next thing is to see how much money can be made, Li Yufeng is a little complacent, and feels that he can snatch back his own box office in the hands of "My Sassy Girlfriend" in the remaining prime time.
But at this moment, Fang Xiaobin was a little stunned with the newspaper, and the media reports and film reviews on this day were all one-sided praise for "My Sassy Girlfriend", many of which were some media that firmly predicted that this movie would be a bad movie.
And his "The Year of Graduation" was not even assigned a layout, which is understandable, after all, there are many movie gimmicks in other people.
But even the "Global Times", which once claimed that this was the most untimely choice of the "Idol Project", changed its tone and said: "For a new director, Cheng Xiaoyu has done perfect, we really can't ask for more, we shouldn't make the mistake of empiricism, think he is young, so it's impossible, it turns out that he not only has extraordinary talent in music, but also in movies."
The rest of the media kept silent about the ridicule as if it had never happened.
He flipped through the newspaper stacks again, and "Shanghai Morning News" did not hesitate to give the front page headline praise: "Not only is he a miracle producer, he is also a miracle director"
This film review report occupies almost a page, and introduces the surprising aspects of the film in all aspects: "It's hard to believe that this is a film directed by a newcomer, with a beautiful narrative structure, natural and smooth editing, and a simple story told with humor and moving, superficial and profound, which is something that many big directors have not been able to do." It doesn't have a complicated story, no complicated character relationships, just a couple who build a bridge between the past and the future for love, and there is no doubt that this is the most worthwhile love movie of the year. ”
Finally, this large-scale film review said at the end: "Those who want to see the joke are probably going to be disappointed, Cheng Xiaoyu is still a miracle, this movie not only shows his strong directing ability, but also tells everyone, 'I'm not within your rules', don't doubt that he can create miracles, you can only guess when he will stop moving forward." “
The online media not only gave Cheng Xiaoyu and "My Sassy Girlfriend" great praise, but also used a lot of space to praise Xu Qinning and Lu Dawei's acting skills.
"If Cheng Xiaoyu is out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements, it is really difficult, hard to believe that Xu Qinning and Wu Dawei are two rookie actors, although Wu Dawei, who has been complained about a lot, is a graduate, but our Xu Qinning is just a freshman student.
In this movie, Xu Qinning changed her previous image of short hair and kept long hair, but her interpretation of Song Mingxi was not gentle at all, she was drunk, barbaric, and vexatious, creating countless joys for everyone, but this is not all, under the cover of such emotions, it is infinitely affectionate.
She cried and shouted "I'm sorry" on the mountain, shouting out her grief and helplessness. She and Morning Glory missed each other in the elevator at the station. These touching details all show Xu Qinning's amazing acting skills. So in the end, the two who met again were together, which really touched all the audience.
Not to mention how many awards "My Sassy Girlfriend" can win, Xu Qinning first booked the "Best Newcomer".
finally confessed to Xu Qinning, you are forever Song Mingxi, I only peeked at you. ”
The famous film critic "Electronic Eye" made a "whisper" and said: "The movie is fast-paced, it is hilarious when it should be humorous, it makes people cry when it should be sensational, the director's skills are beyond imagination, and the performances of the two leading actors are real and touching, perfect." ”
And director Guan He, who had previously questioned Cheng Xiaoyu, said, "I will go to the cinema to see how good this movie is." ”
What's even more surprising is that Fu Nuanbing, the queen of literary films, posted a long 'whisper', with the title of "i.belive".
"Yesterday on Valentine's Day, I didn't have an appointment, I secretly went to the cinema to watch a movie alone, remembering that the last time I went to the cinema to watch a movie was when I was eighteen years old, and in a blink of an eye I was twenty-six, and I was already an old girl, I have acted in so many romance movies, but I don't have a boyfriend yet, it's really sad.
The reason why I chose to watch "My Sassy Girlfriend" is not because I know Director Cheng or anyone from 'Shanghe', but just because I like the song "i.belive". (laughs)
I never expected it, but I was moved to tears by this movie.........
………….
Sometimes, life is far more dramatic than the movie, because life is more coincidental and unpredictable, and people are trying to replicate and learn from the life in the movie.
Morning Glory and Song Mingxi seem to meet by accident and get together by accident, but in fact it is inevitable because he has a good aunt. (laughs)
Fate is such a wonderful thing, every day our lives are changing, looking at new faces, meeting some new and old people, remembering and forgetting some things, on the road that Morning Glory and Song Mingxi have walked, there will be many new plots.
I suddenly hated Director Cheng a little, because this movie made me realize that I was still single, and my morning glory didn't know where my aunt was. ”
