PS: Thank you yhdxzx1, Blade Dancer, Chiba Kaede, and the four classmates for their tips, it's been a long time since so many people have been rewarded, thank you very much!

One day later, when people woke up again, they found that all the newspapers and magazines in the entertainment section had been attacked by "The Grandmaster".

"Two years of sharpening a sword, Ye Sumang creates another classic! -- Southern Entertainment Weekly (Special Supplement)

"'Fairy' Liu Yifei transformed, the little sister was delicate and moving, and sadomasochism touched tens of millions of fans. -- Kyoto Entertainment News

"Zhou Wei's domineering style debuts, her small body contains huge energy, and she is worthy of the name of China's top actress! -- Apple Entertainment News

"After a year of hard training, in exchange for the amazing skills in the film, Yuan Hong is willing to come after all! -- Huaxia Film Magazine

………

Each title is full of praise, but all the media who have watched the premiere are full of praise for this film, and some media have even used the title of 'master' when praising Ye Sumang.

However, although they are all praised, in order to win the highlights, the articles of each newspaper are also racking their brains to seek new ideas, trying to give readers a more attractive point of view.

For example, Southern Entertainment Weekly, this time it is a supplement specially for "The Grandmaster", and this time the special edition is all about the content of the Grandmaster, of course, the other party can have such confidence, but also because he has paid a lot of money to get a lot of insider information from the World Film and Television Company.

From plot analysis, to song appreciation, and even behind-the-scenes footage about some actors, there are revelations in this special publication, and as soon as this special issue came out, it was really popular, and it was sold out in just half a day. The headquarters of Southern Entertainment Weekly had to print another batch to meet the needs of the market.

Looking at the rising sales figures, the editor-in-chief of Southern Entertainment Weekly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and no longer felt sorry for the conditions promised yesterday, in front of this real sales data, he felt that everything was worth it.

As an old friend of the world's film and television company, Kyoto Entertainment News also focused on reporting the news of "The Grandmaster" this time, but they did not take the route of 'Bo'. Instead, he went 'specialized'.

As a newspaper media, they don't have as many pages as Southern Entertainment Weekly, although they try to vacate a lot for "The Grandmaster", but they are still limited, so they may be interviews with actors from Tianxia Film and Television Company, including some of their jokes about filming, as well as their opinions on the characters in their plays, etc.

Other media outlets that couldn't get internal information had to find another way to make it all sorts of things, and even Ye Sumang saw the news of his movie from a science and technology magazine. Of course, they can't judge the quality of this movie, but their starting point is also very interesting, they are actually to evaluate the special effects inside their own movies.

This time, the special effects of "The Grandmaster" were naturally made by the Phantom team, although because this is an action feature film, there are not many places where special effects can be played, but this is also the first task that Ye Sumang gave to this team.

Although I don't have many tasks, I know that I finally have to develop special effects for my boss's movie. The Phantom team is full of energy, such as the train that Ma San hit when he was on the platform in the movie, which is the result of this special effects team.

And in this tech magazine. also focused on the analysis of the movement to the special effects in the movie, and everyone praised it, as soon as this report came out, it really brought gratifying sales to this 'borrowing east wind' technology magazine.

Some fans even posted the results of the analysis in the magazine on the Internet, which really caused a heated discussion, because many people couldn't even see that there were so many special effects in the original movie. As for the Phantom team, it finally showed its face in front of the public for the first time, and it became a hot topic for a while.

Of course, in the midst of praise, doubts are also indispensable.

Like the length of the movie and the ticket price, etc., but the flaws are not hidden, in the huge praise. These doubts were instead regarded by most netizens as finding fault, and of course, the person who posted this remark was also ruthlessly bombarded by netizens.

After Ning Hao saw these news, he couldn't help but say to Ye Sumang, this is the general trend.

Ye Sumang agrees with Ning Hao's statement very much, and the current "Generation of Grandmasters" is the trend of the times.

Until the New Year's Day, it has been a full week since the release of "The Grandmaster", and on this day, the box office results of the first week of "The Grandmaster" have also come out, and the box office of up to 130 million has almost surpassed the previous "The City Full of Golden Armor", which has just created history, and the highest box office in a single week is 96 million.

As soon as this news came out, the Chinese film industry was in an uproar!

Many media and filmmakers exclaimed that this Ye Sumang is really worthy of being the king of the Chinese New Year files.

Throughout Ye Sumang's film history in the past few years, he has participated in a total of two Lunar New Year files, and each New Year file has brought achievements that he has never achieved in the Chinese film industry before, and he has firmly occupied the championship throne in each New Year file, even if he was sandwiched by Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingchi, he broke through and won by a great advantage.

This time, in the face of such a gorgeous lineup as "The City is Full of Golden Armor", Ye Sumang still maintained his dignity as the "King of the Lunar New Year Stalls", and the birth of the box office record in the first week is undoubtedly the most powerful guarantee, and judging from the praise on the Internet, the final box office of this movie is afraid that it will still create an amazing result!

And the box office reached 130 million in a week, which simply shocked the hearts of all the film company bosses, what kind of money making ability is this!?

Of course, the happiest is naturally within the World Film and Television Company, after all, this box office will become a real money in his pocket, but the happiest in addition to the World Film and Television Company, the bosses of those theaters are also smiling.

Ma Fatzi of Suzhou and Hangzhou Green Shade Cinema Line has now been promoted to director because of his excellent results in the past few years, and he is inspecting his own theater, and he is accompanied by the manager of the theater.

"What is the attendance rate of "The Grandmaster"?" As soon as he walked into the theater, Ma Fatzi looked at it and suddenly asked.

Although Ma Fatzi seems to ask casually, the manager of the theater chain is also a person-like figure, how can he be so disinterested that Director Ma just asks casually?

So, the manager smiled and replied: "Director Ma, don't say it, this movie is the best-selling movie in the entire theater, and it's been a week, and it's still in short supply." ”

When Ma Fatzi heard this, a smug smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Because Ye Sumang came up with a three-hour version this time, some small theaters wavered and did not choose to screen it, but the Green Shade Cinema Line still stood firmly on Ye Sumang's side this time, and the biggest credit for this was Ma Fatzi, who actually knew the hot box office situation of "The Grandmaster" for a long time.

Sure enough, after listening to the manager's words at this moment, Ma Fatzi deliberately pretended to have a natural expression and said: "Alas, my Brother Ye somehow came up with a three-hour version this time, you don't know, the board of directors was very opposed at the beginning, but I, I am full of confidence in my Brother Ye, and now when I hear your news, I also have the bottom in my heart, haha." ”

Listening to the smug laughter of the fat man, the manager couldn't help but pout, but a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

This Ma director was only at the same level as him before, and he didn't necessarily mix better than him, but since he caught up with Ye Sumang, he has also followed all the way up, and this time the "Generation Grandmaster" heard that it is most of his credit, and it seems that this time the position of this horse fat man is going to rise again.

In addition to the green shade cinema line, the expressions of the bosses of the other major cinema chains at this time are also wonderful.

Every time they look at a full theater, the theater owners are intoxicated by their own wise decision, knowing how much determination it takes to be able to release a three-hour movie? In the face of their original insistence, the hot box office at the moment is the most haode return.

Even many theater owners have already made up their minds and decided to reduce the number of small-cost movies on the file, and then give them to "The Grandmaster", after all, they are not stupid, if they don't put such a popular movie, do they have to put those movies that few people watch, it is a waste of resources.

And this move of the theater owner also made many directors who are still struggling on the road to fame smile bitterly, but in the face of the reason of the theater chain, they really have no way.

After all, the store is a big bully, unless they can reach the level of Ye Sumang, it is wishful thinking to want to leave and right the representatives of the theater chain, but seeing that the movie he finally made was released for more than ten days or even only a few days before being dismissed, the pain in his heart can be imagined.

In the words of a small director who has been downgraded, that is, the Chinese film industry is becoming more and more difficult to mix.

In the past, there was the murderous massacre of "The City Full of Golden Armor", and now there is the thunderous oppression of "The Grandmaster", the living space of these small-budget art films has almost been squeezed to a limit, and even some individual theater owners are even more ruthless, directly using the cinema chain of their own theaters dedicated to showing art films to secretly show these blockbusters, although this is obviously illegal, but in the interests of money, they have nothing they dare not do.

But in this way, the living space of those art films has been squeezed again.

At this point, many film and television company owners have also begun to consider the living environment of small films, and if they want to make money in this important period of the Chinese New Year, it seems that small movies can no longer achieve their goals, and the appearance of "The Grandmaster" seems to have become a straw that crushes their hearts.
