Chapter 386: Financial Crisis, Early Warning Movie (2nd Update)

[Thanks to 'Lin Hanhan' 588 for the reward.] 】

After the premiere of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", major newspapers used entertainment headlines to introduce this romantic comedy of Hu Yifei's return the next day, which is indispensable for praise. And those who attended the premiere also praised the movie after returning and strongly recommended their relatives and friends to go to the cinema.

This Chinese New Year stall is not in vain.

Even if the domestic ticket price is still relatively high compared to the people's living standards, it still can't stop the audience's expectations.

On the first day of the movie's release, the audience burst out with long-lost enthusiasm for watching the movie. Countless theater owners were so moved that they were about to cry. They must thank Hu Yifei. Back a few years ago, there were still many people in the cinema, and they were still thinking about how to convert the cinema into a dance hall and other industries.

Who would have thought that after Hu Yifei's rise and strength, the domestic box office would be able to create a mythical data of 600 million, whether it was the release of "The Hangover" or "Inception", all of them reproduced the craze of queuing up for tickets in theaters, making theaters make a lot of money.

In this case, even Zhang Yimou's movies can't be compared.

Now that "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" has been released, it has not disappointed the theater bosses' diligent screening schedule.

In fact, the development of domestic cinemas in the past two years has been very terrifying, but compared with the overall environment, the number of mainland movie screens is still too small and too few. How to generate the box office, superstar + superstar, is definitely a good routine in the minds of most producers.

It used to be said that there were no movie stars on the mainland, and this is indeed the case. What is a star? Only those with commercial value can be called stars, and the commercial value of movies lies precisely in the appeal of stars (although not the only one).

Just like Lau Dehao, relevant statistics show that from 1985 to 2005, the cumulative box office of the films he participated in in the past 20 years was HK$1.6 billion (only in Hong Kong), ranking first; In 2003, Leung Chaowei participated in five films with a box office of more than 140 million, with an average box office of almost 50 million per film.

If it is only calculated by simple arithmetic, the population of the mainland is 186 times that of Hong Kong, according to this calculation, there should be at least such a star in the mainland who is far higher than Liu Dehao and Liang Chaowei's box office, and much higher.

But now there are very few. Looking at all mainland stars, except for Hu Yifei, no one can be at the superstar level. Even if it's Gong Li, people have now joined foreign nationals, okay.

What's the problem? It can only be said that there are too few domestic movie screens.

Hong Kong has an average of 34,000 people per screen, while the mainland has an average of 290,000 people per screen.

In 2006, China's film box office revenue was 3.32 billion yuan, an increase of 36% over the previous year, maintaining a growth rate of more than 20% for four consecutive years, and the box office revenue of Chinese films was 2.042 billion yuan, accounting for 61% of the total box office revenue, surpassing imported films for four consecutive years.

But to see the distribution of the box office proportion of the 2.042 billion yuan, only the two films released by Hu Yifei's family film industry occupy more than 3% of the national box office. You don't have to count how many of the rest hit the streets.

And South Korea's movie box office in 2006 reached 535.896 billion won, about 46 billion yuan! South Korea's population is less than one-half of the population of Gwang-Dong Province! That is to say, the number of screens is too small, which greatly limits the film consumption population, and the lack of a reliable base of the film population makes it difficult and difficult to cultivate a highly developed film market.

In other words, the mainland film market has just started. In addition to Hu Yifei's movies, mainland movies have entered Hollywood, even in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places.

Fortunately, there is also a Hu Yifei in the mainland.

Standing out from the crowd, it will appear so eye-catching.

This "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is a simple star + star model, which used to talk about star appeal, but most of it was aimed at male stars. But this time, under the banner of star directors and star beauties, it was released in three days on the weekend of the first week, and won 35 million yuan on the first day, 42 million yuan on the second day, and 38.9 million yuan on the third day, and 115.9 million yuan in just three days.

Once again, the miracle of breaking 100 million at the box office in three days was staged, which is also Hu Yifei's third consecutive film in a row with a box office of more than 100 million in three days, and even some media have shouted the flag, if Hu Yifei's movie can't break 100 million in three days, it means that it will fail.

When Hu Yifei saw this, he felt Alexander!

It's just that this time compared to the rave reviews of the previous movies, it is much calmer. After all, the commercial atmosphere is too strong, and there are many advertising placements. Even if the movie is still hilarious and hilarious during the release, one laugh in five minutes, we can't ignore the far-fetched flaws of the concept of love in the movie, which is too idealistic.

Fortunately, Hu Yifei warned in advance that the movie was flawed, and the audience would not denigrate the movie as ugly because of this. In short, it's not as amazing as his previous movies. Rao is like this, and the evaluation of Douban score of 7.8 still means that "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is a high-quality work above the average level.

Compared with many domestic directors who can't even tell stories clearly, Zhang Yimou's "Golden Armor" is only five points, Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" is only four points, and his movie score of 7.8 is already the best of the best.

broke 100 million in three days, if it was in the past, this is probably news worth bragging about. But now the focus of the movie is not on the box office.

As soon as the "financial crisis" remarks came out, countless discussions were raised.

"Make no mistake, the stock market is in good shape, and there are no signs of decay in the coming months. At this time, it is the stage of wanton money grabbing, you tell me about the financial crisis? Show off! "Who do you think you are, Soros? If you're lucky, you'll make some money, and you'll be a financial expert. "Not only predicting the country, but also predicting the United States, sneer~~ What is the impact of the US financial crisis on China, as long as China's stock market is red. "What subprime mortgage crisis? The word is new, first time I heard it. Is it Hu Yifei, a word you created yourself? Do I want you to add it to the dictionary? "Make a good movie, just because you can make money doesn't mean you can predict the financial crisis!" ”……

Hu Yifei doesn't have that much appeal after all.

The greatest thing about Soros is not how much money he makes, not the pound that he pounded and forced Britain to withdraw from the European exchange rate system, but his philosophical thinking allows him to use his sense of smell to catch signals and warn arrogant humans every time a major economic crisis is about to occur.

Now that Soros has not issued an early warning of the US financial crisis, how can Hu Yifei dare to speak up.

There is quite a bit of "I don't speak first in the spring, which insect dares to make a sound".

Seeing the full screen discussing the topic of the financial crisis and movies, many people expressed doubts, "Isn't "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" a romantic comedy, what does it have to do with the financial crisis? After listening to the explanation, I immediately became interested and decided to go to the cinema.

In any case, the topic of Hu Yifei's prediction of the financial crisis is indeed very fascinating.

At least let the popularity of the movie explode again, and the attendance rate is even much higher than that of "Golden Armor". (To be continued.) )
