One of the indicators with the most box office growth potential, the one-hour box office of its release, "Meng Jiangnu" refreshed the box office record of 18 million held by domestic films before, which was more than doubled.

The core indicator that can most increase the film schedule, the box office will exceed 100 million time at the earliest, and "Meng Jiangnu" also has the fastest record of five hours, and at the same time topped the throne of the first holder of the record at the domestic film box office.

The 20-hour box office record that best reflects the general trend of movie-watching, "Meng Jiangnu" also set a new domestic record with a box office of 240 million.

Weibo, WeChat, and major web portals were all detonated by "Meng Jiangnu" for a while.

From the official senior management to ordinary netizens, everyone is discussing the hot screening of "Meng Jiangnu", does this situation indicate that the film market will reach a new height in the new year?

"Master Zhang is back!"

On the official account of Weibo Movie, on the official homepage of Weibo, there is an article at the top, a movie review article about "Meng Jiangnu" written by an online professional film critic named 'My name is Xiao Ming'.

"There is no doubt that Director Zhang is an indispensable page in the history of Chinese film, and he is also the leader and promoter of the history of Chinese film from closed, conservative, and weak to open, inclusive, eclectic and increasingly powerful......"

"I still remember that when the Huaxia Film Market was just opened, the Hollywood blockbusters that were unbeatable in the world also swept the domestic film market, and the entire entertainment industry was full of sorrow, and even the most confident and confident official film institutions had to admit that the Huaxia film industry had really derailed from the international derailment, and even lagged behind for no less than 20 years! What to do in this case? Only the capable and fearless can carry the banner of the Chinese film industry and sound the clarion call for the charge......"

"Before this, Director Zhang's international status has been solid, but in the face of the strong sweep of Hollywood blockbusters, those internationally renowned well-known literary films do not have much appeal!"

"After all, a country's film industry, in the final analysis, still needs the box office to promote, and the box office of a movie directly reflects whether the movie is deeply loved by the masses. It is said that art is higher than life, but the source of life, if the art of film is blindly high and low, then it will eventually become rootless water, a castle in the air, sooner or later it will dry up, and it will disappear in the field of vision of the masses like a mirage. As a result, those engaged in the film industry have changed their previous lofty posture, waving their fists and shouting, the box office is everything...... In this context, Director Zhang stood up without hesitation and faced a Hollywood blockbuster head-on for the first time with a "Qin Shi Mingyue * Hero", and launched a battle to recover the Chinese film market! ”

"Maybe from today's point of view, Director Zhang at that time and his "Qin Shi Mingyue * Hero" were just er, but at that time, domestic films could win 200 million box office, and the global box office was as high as 200 million US dollars, which was incredible. Because in China at that time, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only more than 10 billion US dollars, can you imagine that in this case, a domestic film can win a global box office of 200 million US dollars, what a big impact on the whole country? Because of such a gorgeous and exciting beginning, practitioners in the Chinese film industry once again regained confidence and opened the era of blockbusters in the domestic film industry. After that, the Chinese film industry quickly integrated with international standards, with the strong support of the state, all kinds of well-received films bloomed everywhere, and the box office of the film continued to rise year after year, until today, the Chinese film market has jumped to the second place in the world, only in North America, and even with the addition of Xiangjiang, Baodao and Southeast Asia, the entire global Chinese box office market is already the first in the world! ”

“…… Of course, my article today is not to popularize the modern history of Chinese films. The reason why I mentioned the previous background here is to ask you to have a better background for my article today......"

"To get back to the point, after Director Zhang became famous, he left an indelible mark on the Chinese film market and the hearts of the Chinese people, and from then on, no matter how bad Director Zhang's movies are, the audience will still go to the cinema as soon as possible to support. Over the years, no matter how much infamy Director Zhang's movies have suffered, the vast number of people who eat melons will still go to the cinema to take a look, why is this? I have a very good understanding of the angle here, for example, a family raised a child, after the child grew up, gained some achievements, as a parent is very proud, although after this child has borne the negative evaluation of Jiang Lang's talent, when the parents will also reprimand the child, but when the child is still trying, no matter whether this effort or success or failure, as a parent, will still support it, no matter how disappointed they are in the child's efforts......"

"In the eyes of parents, no matter how old a child grows up, he is still a child, and from the bottom of their hearts, they still hope that their child can achieve results and succeed again...... No matter how disappointed the audience is with Director Zhang, but in the eyes of the audience, Director Zhang should have this strength and should be able to make good films. ”

"Fortunately, Director Zhang did not live up to the audience's expectations, and before the audience's disappointment in him turned into despair, he finally came up with a movie that could prove himself again, so I said: Master Zhang, back!"

"Today's movie box office market, for the audience, is divided into several kinds of movies, the first is fan movies, it doesn't matter whether the movie is good or bad, fans will always support idols; the second is a star movie, the most valuable are actors like Huang Bo and Sun Honglei, but any movie starring this kind of star, the audience will sell it; The third category is the work movie, from the perspective of producers, directors, and screenwriters, when the works they produced or filmed or acted as screenwriters came out, the audience would always say in their hearts that so-and-so's movie is worth watching...... Because they are the box office responsibility of the movie, with them as the profit guarantee of the movie, whether it is the investor or the audience, it will not feel worthless! ”

Because in the eyes of the audience, this kind of work movie, with their participation, is still a qualified commercial film, and the movie ticket in hand is not a loss! Congratulations to Master Zhang, who has once again become the box office leader of the movie......"

"Back to this "Meng Jiangnu", it is Director Zhang's sincere work that has been polished for several years, and he has directed several movies since Director Zhang's career...... In fact, I don't need to go into details, everyone is familiar with them, but what I want to focus on today is that Director Zhang's ability to tell stories with the lens has been greatly improved, and even the peak of Director Zhang's storytelling ability in history, there is no one! ”

"In the film "Meng Jiangnu", Director Zhang has set up a total of five story lines, which are intertwined with each other, which not only ensures the superior rhythm level of commercial blockbusters, but also retains the control of the implicit meaning of art films that he is best at......"

Speaking of which, some people may ask, isn't this movie the story of Meng Jiangnu searching for her husband for thousands of miles and martyrdoming her husband on the Great Wall...... Actually, can you say that, I can already give you a thumbs up, because you have at least been in the cinema, contributed to the box office, and then let you pay attention to other hidden story lines in the movie, this is knocking on the blackboard to mark the key points and ask for homework...... Uh, what I mean, in fact, I also think that the movie tickets in everyone's hands are more worthwhile, after all, people enter the cinema, and they can see four or five plot lines after watching a movie, and we are also very enjoyable to watch a movie down, but when people ask, let's just have a plot line, isn't it so faceless? Go in and see it again! ”

"In order to avoid spoilers, I will prompt a few key words, the first one is the thousand-mile husband just mentioned, and the rest is the temple dispute, the trend of agriculture and animal husbandry, the distance of the rivers and lakes, and the death of Zhang An!"

"Who is Zhang An, a newcomer, played by Tang Nian, in the movie "Meng Jiangnu", he contributed the most outstanding performance, of course, this is my family's words, if you have dissenters, please talk to me online after watching the movie...... Of course, in the other four plot lines, all the well-known actors have also contributed super-level acting skills and strength, which is all as it should be. Only this newcomer who impersonated out of thin air, Tang Nian, surprised me, could it be that the current entertainment industry has begun to become popular with evil newcomers? ”

“……”

'Smack! ’

In a high-end villa area in Chaoyang District, the imperial capital, a newly produced Apple 10, was honorably sacrificed.

"If I act, the box office will definitely be better than ...... It's definitely more popular than it is now, and my fan guild has more than 300,000 members all over East and Southeast Asia......"

lost his mobile phone, Xiao Yitao turned off the annoying topic of "Meng Jiangnu" on the Internet, but when he turned on the TV, the entertainment on the TV gave him another slap in the face!

The reporter recently tracked down the popular idol Xiao Yitao across China and South Korea, and at an event, because the reporter mentioned "Meng Jiangnu" and immediately went crazy, saying that if you haven't seen the movie, you can't comment on it, and this is not a movie conference, please don't mention issues unrelated to the event. A sharp-eyed reporter photographed Xiao Yitao's body movements, and the picture circled in red showed that Xiao Yitao was already in a state of anger with his fists clenched at that time...... According to an insider, due to his popularity, when Xiao Yitao participated in a well-known variety show, in order to show his identity and status, he directly squeezed out the dressing room and lounge of well-known powerful actors......

"Bastard!"

Xiao Yitao's handsome face turned red again, he turned off the TV, and took a few breaths of haze, which suppressed the anger in his heart.

"It's been a long time since I was angry, and I participated in a variety show, and I still dared to grab a dressing room...... In short, I was right, I was right! No, I'm going to find someone to put that out-of-fashion artist to death, and let him come forward to clear up the rumors for me, yes, that's all! ”

When Xiao Yitao thought of this, he felt that his idea was good, so he took out his spare mobile phone and called his agent.

"Hey, Brother Song, it's me, Ah Tao, the phone was broken just now. Well, there's a thing, you have seen the negative news about me on the Internet, the matter of "Meng Jiangnu", I have tried my best to endure it, but I can't bear it...... Okay, I'll listen to you! ”

Putting down the phone, Xiao Yitao finally smiled happily.

"One day, I'm going to let you old guys know that popularity is the key, and without popularity, it's just a matter of surviving...... In that Tang year, I will put up with you for a while, and after "Meng Jiangnu" is painted, I will ...... you"

"Get out of showbiz!"

"Hahahaha......"

……

At the end of the year, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and the hazy imperial capital still can't stop the audience's enthusiasm for entering the cinema.

In front of a movie theater, there are two women wearing filter masks, one is tall and thin, and her makeup is very mature; A petite, tightly wrapped body, staring at the long line in front of the movie theater.

"Yun'er, let's go, you've watched "Meng Jiangnu" three times, it's time to take care of it, right?"

The tall woman shook her head, a look of helplessness.

"Look at it again, I didn't know he was so good at acting, when I was in Hengdu before, I only knew that he was very good at ancient costumes and women's costumes, and he was a powerful makeup artist and costume artist. It's just that he hated it to death at the time, his mouth was like oil, he was very poor, and he boasted that he acted in "Meng Jiangnu", who believed it, and said that his acting skills were good...... It's the first time I've seen someone praise me for my good acting skills, I'm really ashamed...... No, I want to watch, I want to beat him with my acting skills, when he obediently listens to me! Hmph......"

"You, this is angry with yourself, you have been with him for three months, and you don't know that he is basically a guy who knows nothing, and when it comes to acting, it is ......"

Just as the tall woman tried to persuade the girl, there was a commotion in the crowd queuing up to buy tickets in front of the movie theater.

"What's going on? I've been queuing for an hour, but when I get here, I don't have a ticket? Isn't that aimed at me? No, I want three tickets for "Meng Jiangnu", you have to take them out for me! ”

"I'm sorry, sir, the tickets for "Meng Jiangnu" have been sold out today, or should I recommend you the movie tickets for "The Ferryman"? This movie, just released ......"

"I want a ticket for "Meng Jiangnu", you hurry up and give it to me!"

At the window, a burly man, close to 1.9 meters, stared at the female conductor in the window, said loudly, and at the same time waved his fist, scaring the female conductor away from the window.

"Yun'er, are you still buying a ticket?" The woman teased.

"Oh, Sister Lan~~~ This stinky guy doesn't even reply to my calls, what are you busy with...... On the news, I don't see the photos of him participating in the roadshow, I read the comments of netizens, at least thirty percent of the audience, all of them brushed him twice......"

When the girl saw this situation, she stuck out her tongue, knowing that if she wanted to watch the movie again today, she was afraid that it would not work.

"Yun'er, now that it's time for me to tell you some speculations that are very likely in fact, I hope you won't contact Ah Tang again after listening to it!"

After listening to the girl's words, Sister Lan's face changed, she looked at the girl with a serious expression, and said word by word.

"Why?"

The girl looked dazed, and soon she was aggrieved, and she thought that the agent sister she had always relied on was going to stop her.

""Meng Jiangnu" is so popular, it almost swept the weekly box office, and there are a lot of discussions about Tang Nian on the Internet, but the roadshow of "Meng Jiangnu" has lasted for a week as of today, have you seen the photos of Tang Nian participating in the roadshow?"

"Maybe Director Zhang wants to treat Ah Tang as a mysterious selling point, and deliberately hides his ......"

"Yun'er, when you get to this time, you must have a clear understanding, that is, Tang Nian is not in the roadshow plan of "Meng Jiangnu" at all, and it is not even in the promotional content of the movie! Yun'er, about Ah Tang, I think it's necessary for me to talk to you......"

"Oh......"

……

In the capital of abundance, in front of a large movie theater, there was also a long queue, and not far away, the character poster of "Super Express" was erected at the entrance.

"Be a sprinkler, a turtle son, squeeze a sprinkler! Two tickets for "Meng Jiangnu"! ”

"I'm sorry, the tickets are sold out!"

"Sa? He's an immortal, and he's sold out so quickly, he's scared to death...... Tomorrow morning's tickets, some of them are not scattered? ”

"I'm sorry, the movie tickets for "Meng Jiangnu" will be sold out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, or you can get a ticket for "Super Express", and "Super Express" will be upgraded to today...... Zeng Xiaoxian's comedy is very good! ”

"Turtle son, you're doing something! Why are there no three-day tickets? Are you fooling me? Cinemas with thousands of people, more than a dozen screening halls, why are there no more? You have a ticket for "Super Express", which means that there is still a screening hall that does not screen "Meng Jiangnu", you take out the screening hall of "Super Express" and play "Meng Jiangnu", isn't it a, what a dead brain! Hurry up! ”

"That's it! It is! ”

Seeing that the movie theater was no longer selling tickets for "Meng Jiangnu", everyone became anxious and shouted at the beautiful conductor in the window.

"This can't work, the cinema's share of the film schedule of "Meng Jiangnu" has exceeded 40%, according to the agreement, this is already the largest film scheduling agreement, if it exceeds this, other film distributors will make trouble with the movie theater!"

The beautiful conductor saw this situation for the first time, and her tears were about to come out.

"Movie theaters make money, and now that "Meng Jiangnu" is so popular, they are all here to see this, why don't you use your brains...... Go, call your manager! ”

"Call your manager!"

"Hurry up!"

The security guard, who was on duty at the door, saw that there was an argument at the ticket window, and immediately picked up the pager in his hand and reported the situation to the top, and soon the manager of the movie theater arrived at the scene.

"I'm sorry, our beautiful conductor was intimidated by your enthusiasm, I apologize to you first! "Meng Jiangnu" is a good film, but now that the cinema has signed release agreements with the distributors of various films in advance, it is easy to change the film scheduling agreement, which will crowd out the release plans of other films, which is also a kind of breach of appointment and dishonesty for us...... Okay, don't worry, please be patient and wait for five minutes, and I will immediately report the current situation to the theater headquarters! ”

"Xiao Li, call the headquarters, report the situation on the spot, and request that the maximum restriction on the scheduling rate be lifted, based on the needs of the audience!"

After the movie theater manager arranged for someone to report, he asked with a smile: "Everyone, I'm dealing with the matter, please give me a few minutes, I also have a question here, I want to ask, why do you like "Meng Jiangnu" so much, are you watching it for the first time?" ”

"Haha, it's the third time, I know from the Internet that there are five story lines in "Meng Jiangnu", and I have found three, and now I am ready to brush it again and strive to find the remaining two story lines!"

"It's the first time I've watched "Meng Jiangnu", the movie is so popular, there are people talking about this movie all day long, and if I don't watch it again, I will fall behind......"

"I'm here for Li Shuangbing!"

"I'm curious, why Director Zhang's movie this time has such a good reputation on the Internet, and I want to see what ...... it is"

"I'm because of Tang Nian, the newcomer who has been hidden, but has god-like acting skills, I can't find a trace of him on the Internet, I have to go to the cinema and watch the characters to satisfy ......"

“……”

In the discussion of the audience, the bottom of the heart of the movie theater manager finally made a decision!

"Xiao Li, immediately notify Director Zhang to vacate 20% of the screening hall to increase the film scheduling rate of "Meng Jiangnu"!"

After making the decision, the cinema manager said with a smile: "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I can't be a villain, and now the screening hall is being adjusted, and the new screening hall should be adjusted within a minute, and everyone can prepare to start buying tickets for "Meng Jiangnu".

"Good!"

The audience in line gave a cheer.

In the cheers, the movie theater manager left, and behind him, an assistant stepped forward and whispered: "Manager, you will be punished by the theater headquarters if you change the film schedule rate without authorization!" ”

"Don't worry, I have the bottom of my heart!" The cinema manager waved his hand.

"Manager, the headquarters has agreed, and it has released all permissions, as long as the audience is interested, there is no upper limit to the film scheduling rate of "Meng Jiangnu"!"

At this time, Xiao Li, who reported the situation to the headquarters, ran over with a happy face and told the manager the good news, and the assistant on the side was also relieved when he heard the news.

"Okay, the decision of the headquarters is correct, the cinema can't stick to the film scheduling agreement, it must always be guided by the audience's needs, and then tell Director Zhang that always pay attention to the scheduling trend of "Meng Jiangnu", and be ready to increase the scheduling rate at any time!"

""Meng Jiangnu" is so popular, and the movie theater also earns it together, hahaha......"

……

On February 1, "Meng Jiangnu" was released for a whole week, and the box office officially exceeded 800 million, with an astonishing box office of nearly 1.2 billion per day on average, won the box office championship of the first week, and locked the box office champion of the Lunar New Year file in advance with a probability of more than 70%.

At the same time, "Meng Jiangnu" swept more than 70% of the box office in the first week with a national average scheduling rate of more than 65%, opening the frenzy of "Meng Jiangnu" sweeping the New Year stalls.
