On the morning of July 8, as Gu Xiaofan expected, he made headlines in major entertainment media with a photo of Robert Downey Jr. "twice", and the headline was also sensational. 【】

"Twice as Gu Xiaofan said wildly to Iron Man," Yanjing Morning News

"In the face of the provocation of the 5.5 billion box office opponent, Yang Zirong is not afraid of Tony Stark." Chutian Metropolis Daily

"Gu Xiaofan returned to China, defended his domestic home field, and said that outwitting Weihushan would reverse the decline of domestic film summer files." Southern Metropolis Daily.

In response to this news, Hunan Satellite TV interviewed a film expert in a TV program to verify the authenticity of Gu Xiaofan's remarks.

"Of course, Gu Xiaofan's words are for the hype topic of the movie he will release tomorrow, the so-called outwitting Tiger Mountain is at least twice the box office of Iron Man, this is simply a bundle of propaganda."

The 60-year-old expert Sun Guotao analyzed: "Iron Man has a box office of 5.5 billion in the world, which is at least 100 million in China, Gu Xiaofan's dear last year took more than 200 million, this time even if he outwits Weihu Mountain, he will take 200 million, that will not work."

If Iron Man takes 150 million, you don't have to take 300 million, if people take 200 million, you have to take 400 million

In case Iron Man can get 2.7 billion box office compared with last year's Transformers, then how much is 2 times more than 500 million, and you have broken the Titanic's record, do you think this is possible

And the number of Chinese movie screens can't carry such a 500 million box office movie. ”

When the traditional media hyped this astonishing remark, the mainstream public deeply agreed with the analysis of the film expert Sun Guotao, and they all thought that Gu Xiaofan was completely casual, just tying up Iron Man to outwit Weihu Mountain in order to publicize it, which is a somewhat disgraceful way to harm others and benefit oneself.

At the same time, the online media have maintained relative calm, and many people don't think Gu Xiaofan is bragging.

A senior film critic on Douban, Gu Xiaofan's loyal support for Xu Tianyang settled an account, specifically refuting Sun Guotao's arguments.

"Surpassing Iron Man twice as much in China, it sounds a little unrealistic, but it is not impossible, you must know that this is China, the Olympics are about to open, the patriotic atmosphere in the country is very warm, and Miracle Fan has brought a red movie to cut into the preferences of the people, the box office must not be low, I think 200 million is the bottom.

Why do you say that, because since Gu Xiaofan's Chinese partner sparked a movie-watching boom last summer, the film industry has found that the number of domestic moviegoers has increased by an order of magnitude, and they have begun to build new theaters across the country.

The number of screens has risen from 3,200 at the beginning of the year to more than 5,500 at the end of last year, which can be described as a geometric explosion.

This has made the industry see the rapid development of the domestic film market, the era has arrived, the eight major domestic cinema chains have begun to expand on a large scale, each of them is crazy to grab this bigger and bigger cake, by July this year, with incomplete statistics, the number of domestic screens has reached more than 8700, and it is still increasing.

It is these increased screens that have greatly expanded the scope of viewing radiation, reaching unprecedented heights, which is also the reason why Chronicles 2 and Hancock, the national superman, although their reputations are average, still easily exceeded 100 million.

And it is only a matter of time before Kung Fu Panda exceeds 200 million, and it is not impossible to break through 300 million.

You must know that when Titanic set a box office record of 3.6 billion, there were only 700 screens in China, and when the hero won 2.5 billion box office, China only had 1,700 screens.

Now with nearly 9,000 screens, the Chinese film market is ushering in a new era, and what is needed now is a film boom to bring audiences who didn't watch movies before into the cinema.

And Gu Xiaofan, the torch hero, returned to China, isn't it just riding this monstrous wave

Even if Iron Man can win 200 million or 300 million, I believe that the gathering of Gu Xiaofan, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, and Ge You, the strongest film elite in China, to outwit Weihu Mountain, will definitely refresh a new record for Chinese films and create a big scene for Chinese films."

As soon as this analysis article with a clear position and majestic style came out, it aroused the emotional resonance of many netizens on the one hand, shouting, "I rushed to Gu Xiaofan to sit in prison for three months for the torch, and I will also go to the theater to support him." "I must go to the theater to brush up on the box office."

However, some other netizens scoffed at this, and "Bloody Chow Yun-fat", a famous film critic on Douban, commented on this article:

This is an extremely ridiculous analysis, if the box office of the film could grow in proportion to the growth of the number of screens, the box office of the Titanic would have been broken long ago, no matter how many screens increase, there are only so many audiences who are willing to spend money into the cinema.

Whether it was the Titanic or the hero, they all created a trend back then, that is, the whole people discussed, whoever didn't watch it seemed to miss a big event, and many uncles and aunts who didn't watch movies entered the cinema, which made these two movies set a record.

Outwitting Weihu Mountain is indeed popular now, and everyone is willing to support Gu Xiaofan, but the supporters are all young people, they are originally people who often go to the cinema, even if one or two of them bring their parents there, I am afraid it will not increase the box office much.

To put it bluntly, outwitting Tiger Mountain is not a 3D movie, it is still a remake of an old film, the story that should be told, the plot The older generation knows it, why do they have to pay to watch it

I'll leave my words here today, I watch this red movie to make his point clear:

"In fact, if Iron Man really reaches the 2.7 billion box office of Transformers last year, if he wants to outwit Tiger Mountain to reach twice as much as him, he must maintain a strong schedule of more than one and a half months.

According to the arrangement of the stalls, tomorrow the outwitting of Tiger Mountain will be released at the same time as Iron Man, but their opponents are far more than each other, as well as Chibi and Hancock, who were released last week, and Kung Fu Panda, which has a good reputation, 5 strong films compete at the same time
