Chapter 228: Domineering first-week box office!
That is, on the day of the launch of "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty", "Red Cliff. The box office results of "Shang" were counted, and as soon as it was announced, it immediately shocked the industry.
"Red Cliff. The box office (including the premiere) in the first four days of "Shang" has received a total of 108 million! Although there are still Hollywood blockbusters ahead, Will. "Superman Hancock" starring Smith is currently in theaters, but "Red Cliff. "Shang" still accounted for three-quarters of the share of the film market that week! Domineering!
What is the concept of over 100 million in the first week?
First of all, this is the first time in China that a movie has a box office of over 100 million in a single week, and of course it is also the first time that the box office has exceeded 100 million in the first week. This achievement is worth remembering in the annals of film history and is of great significance in the great leap forward of the mainland film market.
Secondly, "Red Cliff. The box office of "Shang" in one week made it the top five in the box office list in 08 (as of July), and it was not impossible to reach the top of the year, and even the historical champion of the mainland box office.
Judging from the mainland box office statistics over the years, the first place in the previous total list was the box office god film "Titanic" (359 million), and the box office champion of Chinese films was Zhang Yimou's "The City Full of Golden Armor" (291 million), which is the first and second place in the mainland box office list, and the third place is "Transformers" (282 million) released last year.
"Titanic" is too old, and the specific data cannot be examined, the box office of "The City Full of Golden Armor" was 86 million in the first week, "Transformers" was 97 million in the first week, and "Red Cliff. "on" has to press them, which also makes people interested in "Red Cliff. The box office of "Up" is full of anticipation. Can it break the box office record of a Chinese film in "A City Full of Golden Armor"? Can it break the mainland box office record of "Titanic"?
It is important to know that the box office champion of a country is a foreign film, and it has occupied this position for more than ten years, which may also be a difficult pimple for domestic filmmakers. At least He Mu had such a pimple in his heart.
Japan's movie box office champion is the unsurpassed "Spirited Away", and South Korea's box office champion is the Korean film classic "Han River Monster". On the earth, 5,000 years of cultural and historical accumulation cannot create a phenomenal movie with the ability to build a big ship, although He Mu recognizes the excellence of "Titanic". But he is not convinced, is it only Hollywood that makes good movies, he is not convinced. Could it be that the imagination and creativity of the Chinese are worse than foreigners, he is not convinced, he believes that one day Chinese films can shine with the light that amazes the world!
"Red Cliff. It is difficult to say whether the box office of "Shang" will eventually surpass "Titanic", but He Mu believes that this is a counterattack of Han culture against foreign culture. Even if it doesn't work out this time. However, Chinese films are generally on the rise, and one day there will be a Chinese-language film known as a "god film" that will successfully kick those foreign-language films off the horse and defend the dignity of Chinese filmmakers.
Of course, after seeing "Red Cliff. While the box office is super high, we can't ignore the evaluation and word-of-mouth of the movie.
Overall, after the release of this movie, the evaluation was not very high, and no one praised it to the status of a classic in film history. Didn't step on it to the dog either. is not as good as it, compared to the bad movies of "Wu Ji", "Night Banquet", and "The City Full of Golden Armor" three times in a row. "Red Cliff. The reputation of "Shang" is much better, but compared with the recent "Assembly" and "Casting Names", it is much inferior, just like He Mu thought when he first watched this drama, many problems have been exposed and have become the focus of people's attacks on this drama.
Ordinary audiences' attention to this drama is mainly focused on big productions and big-name stars, and the strong publicity offensive and the super high film scheduling rate of the theater are also the main reasons why they walked into the cinema to watch this movieSuch inconsequential passages left a deep impression on the audience, became the focus of people's discussions, and gradually became the buzzword of the moment.
He Mu didn't know if it was the audience's problem, the director's problem, or the whole movie's problem, but this was always abnormal.
During the release of the movie, He Mu has been paying attention to the evaluation on the Internet, trying to understand what kind of standard the audience has for a good movie, but the more he watches, the more confused he becomes, there are many He Mu thinks that the shining point of "Red Cliff" has become a failure in the eyes of some people, and he feels that he is not good enough to do well is appreciated by some people, and then he became more and more sober, how can a good movie have standards, no movie can be recognized by everyone, with a filmmaker's professional ethics and literacy, serious, pious, Meticulously complete a perfect work in your heart, that is a good movie, everyone's vision is different, first let the work win their own hearts, then to win the hearts of the world.
This is also the first thing He Mu followed when creating in the future, first please yourself, and then think about pleasing others, many directors of niche films and writers' films also think so, but because their appreciation taste is not mainstream enough, and their ideas are not ingenious enough, so they will never reach the achievements of He Mu in later generations.
Seeing "Red Cliff" sweeping the mainland box office and breaking records repeatedly, He Mu's blood boiled when he saw it, and he couldn't wait to enter the film market, but he knew that he was still young, and he was very conceited about his vision, but at the same time he was worried about his ability and experience, so he had to settle down, learn, accumulate, precipitate, think, and gather momentum for the outbreak one day in the future, and "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty" is the test product that he has accumulated skills, an expensive test test, but he believes that he will not let Brother Fang lose money, Xiao Fang doesn't like to do things that lose money, and he doesn't like them.
At the opening ceremony of "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty", only a few actors attended the first few episodes, and Jia Jingwen and Xu Qing did not come to the scene, but despite this, the lineup is still strong.
He Mu, Tao Quduo, Sun Li, Jiang Wu, Zheng Wei and others lined up, and the cameras under the stage flashed non-stop. Jianghu, this is just a commonplace, at most, this meal is a bit sumptuous, the media in the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are paying attention to this drama, who made this the first TV series that He Mu served as a producer.
As for Zheng Wei, a pure newcomer, she felt new to all this, and she tried her best to hold her chest high to show her immature self-confidence. In fact, before today, Tiger Wolf had already released her basic information, but it seems that she was not like Li Qin'er at the beginning, the TV series has become popular quickly as soon as it was filmed, and now she is only a little famous in the small circle of the school and the one-third of an acre in her hometown with He Mu's aura, as for Yu Ji, she doesn't seem to care much about her.
In fact, this is also normal, first of all, the popularity and attention of "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty" and Han Han's "Chang'an Chaos" are not at all a rank, and Xile's fame is far beyond that of the second daughter, if it weren't for He Mu to adapt it into a TV series, this novel is still just a book with average results in the field of physical publishing, and it is only a little famous on the Internet, but now according to Chen Xuehe's statistics, in just one month after He Mu announced the adaptation, the first three parts of the series have sold more than 100,000 new sales, and now the fourth part is also ready to be published, with a pre-sale of 50,000, Suddenly it became a series of best-selling books.
Secondly, Li Qin'er exists as an absolute heroine in "Chang'an Chaos", and there is Royalstar behind her, coupled with her pretty appearance, it is difficult to think about not being popular. And although Zheng Wei is also the heroine in "Tang Nan", there are also Sun Li, Jia Jingwen, and Xu Qing in this drama, each of whom is an actress who is deeply loved by the people.
The last thing is probably that Zheng Wei herself doesn't know how to use the form to hype herself, otherwise she has countless opportunities to quickly attract the firepower of the entertainment reporters, and she is just an immature little girl after all.
At today's opening ceremony, He Mu is the person who controls the overall situation, and he is also the most asked by reporters, many of which are related to the marriage period of Miss Shilu and Uncle Benshan a while ago, He Mu, who has always been known for his personality and difficulty, answered their questions with a rare good temper this time, but only this time, please don't repeat similar questions, after a circle of questions, a reporter finally noticed Zheng Wei like a little rooster, so he asked her how He Mu discovered her.
Although she has been looking forward to getting the attention of the reporter, but when the reporter really asked, Zheng Wei didn't know what to say, she lowered her head and pondered, as if she was organizing the language, hoping to say it better, but the time of this organization is a bit long, and the scene is a little embarrassing, He Mu smiled and patted her shoulder and answered on her behalf, "Xiao Wei has a pure and lovely appearance, and a quirky personality, I knew at first glance that she is the second daughter, I believe she can act well, this is still small, and the future potential is endless." ”
The reporter who asked the question immediately recorded it, and the news headline was automatically generated in his brain "Pure and cute, eccentric - He Mu spoke highly of Beiying newcomer Zheng Wei!" "It's not exciting enough, but I think it should arouse a lot of people's interest in reading.
Next, He Mu, Sun Li, Zheng Wei, and Chang Dabao changed into costumes and prepared to start the first scene, and the reporters were also politely invited to go out after getting what they wanted.
The part of the male protagonist Wang Zihao in the modern era He Mu wanted to take a time to shoot when he and Sun Li were in the capital, so the first scene of filming started from the first day after Wang Zihao traveled to the Tang Dynasty.
Wearing a sunhat, wearing a jacket with a Cheedo jacket, and a short and stiff beard, the director Tao Quduo stared at He Mu lying on the bed through the monitor, and after counting down to 3, 2, and 1, he shouted with confidence: "action!" ”
