Chapter 109: Breaking through 800 million yuan!
"The cumulative box office of "Those Years" is close to 800 million, revealing how low-budget youth films dominate the film industry in November!"
""33 Days of Broken Love" and "Those Years" became the biggest winners at the box office this year, and what these two movies have in common is that they are both directed by Shen Lin!"
Similar news and topics are constantly being thrown out by the light through major media platforms. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Xiaoping, head of the film and television department of Light, also threw out fierce news in an interview, saying that "Those Years" became a big box office winner, which was completely beyond the expectations of the light itself, and their original box office estimate for this movie was only about 60 million, but Shen Lin did a miracle!
However, some of the pornographic jokes in the film also caused some trouble, and many defenders openly opposed the film, claiming that the film would teach bad children!
Shen Lin pushed everything to the review side, and directly said that since the review has passed, it means that there is no problem!
The last stop of the roadshow is the magic capital, at this time, "Those Years" has been released for half a month, and the box office performance has reached an incredible 720 million!
On the same day, Shen Lin accepted an exclusive interview with "Popular Film".
The reporters of "Popular Film" are not easy to fool, they are all staunch lovers of literary films, and they can also be said to be supporters of the sixth generation of directors.
The first question is very poignant. "Director Shen Lin, someone commented before," the young reporter was unceremonious, "The success of "Those Years" is not due to the movie itself, but to vulgar jokes and elements such as your fame. What do you think? ”
"To say that "Those Years" relied on me to make money from fame is insulting this movie." Shen Lin knew what the reporter wanted to ask.
And since he is a reporter of "Popular Film", he must at least know about movies, so when he answered, he was not polite at all, ""Those Years" is a completely different type of emotional movie, how can there be a big scene? ”
He organized the language a little, "What I photographed is the story of our generation growing up, it is youth, it is the memories of the post-80s, and the memories of the boys are of course impressed by some things that you look vulgar. ”
The reporter said, "Can you tell me more about it?" ”
"Let's talk about the handjob incident in the game, that's the scene I saw with my own eyes!"
Shen Lin smiled openly.
"As for the descriptions of college life in it, I only took pictures after actual research. The teachers who have accompanied the growth of our generation of boys are indeed those teachers! Shen Lin shrugged, "It's also a kind of tribute!" ”
The reporter didn't seem to expect Shen Lin to come up with such a set of theories, and he was a little stunned.
This is not over, Shen Lin said, "Today's Chinese commercial films with high box office are all big productions, which can be summed up as smashing stars, and I just don't do this, I want to play small productions, and I want to tell a good story!" I want to tell all directors that if you can tell a story well, you can also make money! ”
"Fortunately, after the movie was released, the audience still bought it!"
is quite a buy, after the release of "Those Years", it won the weekly box office championship for two consecutive weeks.
Even Taiwan, which opened at the same time, and HK, also had good box office results.
Especially Taiwan, which actually won the box office championship record for two weeks in a row.
set a new box office record for Chinese-language films, a jaw-dropping NT$170 million! (equivalent to RMB 34 million)
And look at the trend to continue the box office champion for the third week!
The whole treasure island is going crazy.
When will a mainland director be able to make trouble in their film market?
At the same time, Shen Lin also came to Treasure Island to continue the promotional journey of the movie.
The questions asked by "Popular Cinema" should seem sharp, but compared to their compatriots on Treasure Island, their questions are simply pediatric.
In fact, many filmmakers in Taiwan have a special sense of superiority, and they have a natural discrimination against commercial films!
They don't even care about Hollywood commercial movies, and whenever a Hollywood blockbuster is released, they always scoff at it. Not to mention a low-budget commercial film by a mainland director!
This kind of atmosphere naturally spread to the film and television critics and related media practitioners in Taiwan.
However, Shen Lin doesn't care about these people's opinions, the so-called Tao is not the same, since even the most basic film concepts are inconsistent, there is no need to contact.
Except for a few routine publicity activities, he did not continue to stay in Taiwan at all, let alone communicate with his counterparts in Taiwan.
And looking at the entire Chinese film industry, Taiwan movies have long since declined!
If it weren't for the publicity, Shen Lin never thought that he would set foot on the treasure island!
On the plane, Ma Sichun, who was sitting opposite Shen Lin, asked curiously, "Director, what do you think are the key factors for the success of "Those Years"?" ”
Shen Lin withdrew his gaze from the window.
Because of the box office explosion of "Those Years", the light was also relaxed, and a plane was specially rented for the crew for promotional trips in various places.
"Mainly because it's a good movie!"
Shen Lin didn't bother to explain so much, "However, Si Chun, you are really popular in the whole country this time, the first love of the people, hehe!" ”
"Thank you, Director, for giving me this opportunity..."Ma Sichun's eyes narrowed with a smile.
"I also want to thank the director, thank you very much!"
Huang Xuan also came over.
"Me too!"
"Me too..."
Jing Boran, Xue Zhiqian, Bao Beier, Qiao Shan and Jia Ling all came over.
"Are you all right? This is on a plane! ”
The plane soon landed at HK International Airport, and the crew got out of the airport and got into the car from a crowd of fans and reporters.
Shen Lin took out his mobile phone to check the latest box office results.
As of November 26th, "Those Years" has not only been a bend in Taiwan, but also a box office hit at the HK.
There is still no opponent in the mainland market that has been released for three weeks, and the trend is unusually stable, this week's box office is only 20% lower than last week, and while getting a box office of 140 million, it has also achieved three consecutive championships in the mainland box office rankings!
The cumulative box office reached 860 million!
This is the first time that Shen Lin has won three consecutive box office titles, and "Those Years" is also the only local film in China to achieve three consecutive box office titles.
"Transformers 3" doesn't count!
However, three days later, "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet", which is known as a 100 million yuan masterpiece directed by the famous Hong Kong director Li Rengang, will be released, and I don't know if it will bring any trouble to "Those Years".
The result was a bit of a surprise, gathering the king Li Ming, first-line movie stars Zhang Hanyu, Liu Yifei, Feng Shaofeng, Huang Qiusheng, Chen Xiaochun, An Zhijie and others "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet" only won the first-day box office of 28 million on the day of the premiere, pressing "Those Years" under him, and before the producer Starlight International could take a breath, the next day, "Those Years", which had been released for 21 days, actually grabbed a box office result of 21 million, and once again pressed "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" under him!
At this point, it is clear to everyone that this hugely funded "Legend of the Hongmen Banquet" must be a work that loses money to the end!
