Chapter 34: Preparing for a New Album
"Spider-Man" can be said to be a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth, many media have given positive reviews, its cinema audience score (CinemaScore) is A, and more than 90% of the 238 media included in Rotten Tomatoes have praised the film, with an average score of 8.9.
"It's hard to think of the last time a big zuò movie was as good as it was advertised, and Spider-Man lived up to its name!" - The Portlanders
"Close to imagination and talent, this fantasy film reminds us of how exciting and satisfying it is." - The Seattle Post
"Spider-Man is a near-perfect expansion for those who have had an adventure reading comics." - New York Daily News
"There are superhero movies as interesting as this entertainment movie, and who would need a big bad superhero movie." -- The Washington Post
"Hollywood's best comic book adaptations, at least unprecedented, whether they are unprecedented, or whether they are unprecedented, depends on whether there is a good work that can surpass "Spider-Man", or, only it can surpass itself!" -- The New York Post
Of course, no matter how good the movie is, there will be people who don't buy it, the so-called public opinion is difficult to reconcile, and if a movie is applauded, there will naturally be criticism.
"My reaction to this film can be summed up in one word - yawning!" - The Charlotte Observer
"The superhero part of the movie will make the audience feel very monotonous!" - The Sanban Chronicle
"Sam Raimi [the director] didn't find a way to reinterpret the superhero in the blockbuster era." - Los Angeles Weekly
After all, the critical media and audiences are only a minority, which is not the hero Spider-Man, the superhero, continues to reap the box office in various countries and regions around the world.
After entering the working day, the popularity of "Spider-Man" around the world has decreased slightly, after all, most people have to go to work, and there are not many audiences who walk into the cinema, but Huaxia is an exception, because the most important thing in Huaxia is people, even if most people go to work, some people who are idle go into the cinema, and the absolute number of these people is very considerable.
Three days after the first weekend, "Spider-Man" hit a box office of 300 million yuan in the Chinese region, setting a new first-week record for imported films, with a box office of 100 million on the first day, and it remained at 100 million in the next two days, with no downward trend at all!
Until Monday, after "Saw Horror" was quietly released, it was actually not right to say that it was released quietly, because it was released at the same time in 500 theaters, which is not a small scale.
But compared with "Spider-Man", which was released at the same time in thousands of theaters, "Saw Horror" can be regarded as "quietly"!
As we all know, the market capacity of a film market must be relatively stable for a relatively period of time, and "Chainsaw" won a box office of 15 million yuan on the first day of release, which is undoubtedly from the hands of "Spider-Man", making "Spider-Man" on the fourth day of release, the box office in China finally fell below 100 million, and finally the box office on Monday was reported to be 90 million yuan!
This number did not attract the official attention of "Spider-Man", and those professional analysts thought that the impact of the working day had led to a decrease in its box office.
As for "Saw Horror", in their eyes, it is not at the same level as "Spider-Man", and there is no need to analyze it as an opponent at all, but what these professionals didn't expect was that the subsequent box office table of "Saw Horror" slapped them countless times!
On May 7, the second day after the release of "Chainsaw", it won another 18 million yuan at the box office in China, equivalent to 3.5 million US dollars.
On May 8, on the third day of the release of "Chainsaw", it made steady progress in the Chinese region, winning 20 million yuan at the box office, equivalent to 4 million US dollars.
On May 9, on the fourth day of its release, "Chainsaw" won 16 million yuan at the box office in China, equivalent to 3.2 million US dollars.
……
It wasn't until Friday that under the strong pressure of "Spider-Man", the daily box office of "Chainsaw" fell below 10 million yuan, but its average daily box office remained at about 14 million, and in the first week of large-scale screening, "Chainsaw" won a box office of up to 90 million yuan in China!
Although the large-scale screening of "Chainsaw" is similar to the official release, Lin Han played a sidekick very smartly, this is the screening!
The important thing is that the box office of 90 million yuan was won at the same time as the superhero blockbuster "Spider-Man", which is enough to see the market's recognition of "Chainsaw", and it also shows that its quality is excellent, otherwise, the audience is not stupid, and no one forces them to watch it with a gun!
The Hollywood Observer first discovered the anomaly, with a reporter writing the headline "Spider-Man's Horror?" in large print on the front page of the newspaper. ”
"Oh my God, it's unbelievable, a low-budget horror movie, actually fell behind in the same release as the popular superhero movie blockbuster "Spider-Man", and actually won $18 million at the box office from Spider-Man in a week, despite its home advantage in China, but there is no doubt that this is still a box office achievement!"
"It is said that the total cost of "Saw Horror" is only $5 million, and the weekly box office of $18 million is enough for it to get back the investment cost, that is, from this new week, no matter how much it wins at the box office, it is purely making money!"
"It is also said that the total production time of "Chainsaw" does not exceed 30 days, and the small-budget horror movie produced in such a hurry has created such amazing benefits, so we can't help but ask those Hollywood directors who invested hundreds of millions of dollars and finally made super bad movies at the box office, are you really making movies with your heart?"
"Chainsaw tells us one thing, if you want to get a good box office, investment is not the key, the key is creativity, and the key is whether the director is making a movie with his heart!"
The "Hollywood Observer" report is extremely spicy in its choice of words, and it even points out by name that a certain famous Hollywood director has made a bad movie with hundreds of millions of investment, which is simply tearing open their wounds and sprinkling salt on them for those directors.
As a result, the "Hollywood Observer" once again stirred up Hollywood, and several named Hollywood directors have asked their lawyers to send lawyers' letters to sue the "Hollywood Observer" for defamation and slander......
As the other protagonist in this incident, "Chainsaw" has undoubtedly been pushed to the forefront, and many film critics who have not seen "Chainsaw" before have walked into the theaters of "Chainsaw" movies, ready to make a harsh criticism of "Chainsaw".
What are you kidding, less than 30 days of production cycle, only $5 million at a cost, but won $18 million at the box office? Or is it just a box office performance in one region of China, if it is released on a large scale, wouldn't "Chainsaw" have to go to the rhythm of heaven? This Nima is Chi Guoguo slapping all filmmakers in the face!
Although, it seems that they were slapped in the face once by "Blair the Witch" a few years ago, there are always people who heal their scars and hurt them!
Many film critics went into the cinema with great ambition to find the stubble of "Saw", but after it came out, many people racked their brains and could only criticize "Saw" in terms of roughness and blood.
This kind of criticism of Cheng dù is not a criticism at all, you say that the system is rough? Please, it was filmed in less than 30 days, and this roughness is also acceptable, and the roughness also has the benefit of roughness, which makes it more realistic!
As for the second bloody Cheng dù too scary? Please, man, are you a monkey invited to tease? "Chainsaw" is a horror movie, if a horror movie is not bloody and scary, is it still called a horror movie?
In fact, this kind of painless criticism has made "Chainsaw" popular, which is equivalent to making another large-scale advertisement for "Chainsaw" for free, which makes some people wonder if Lin Han deliberately asked those newspapers to write like this.
In this regard, Lin Han, who is in Shanghai, can tell everyone very honestly, this is really not what he did, originally, in addition to $1 million, with $4 million in publicity money, Lin Han felt that the investment was already very large, how could he spend money to ask the newspaper to build momentum for "Chainsaw"?
And "Spider-Man", which was reduced to a supporting role in this incident, its director Remy posted a message on Twitter to congratulate, hoping that "Saw Horror" can continue to achieve good box office results and make a fortune together.
Sam Raimi is a smart person, "Spider-Man" has been released for two weeks, and it has received more than $400 million at the box office worldwide, he does not need to be jealous of Lin Han's "Chainsaw" that won $18 million at the box office.
Lin Han also saw Sam Raimi's words on Twitter, because the other party loved him, Lin Han was naturally polite to this, and also hoped that "Spider-Man" could continue to create box office miracles!
After the large-scale screening of "Chainsaw", Lin Han no longer needs to worry about things, Lin Han works out every day, writes "Ghost Blows the Lamp", and then flirts with Yang Yi, and has a happy life!
After these days of teasing, Lin Han found that Yang Yi is now very familiar with him, and he is so familiar that he occasionally touches her ****, which will only provoke her with a fan fist, but he will not be angry.
As a result, Lin Han's "ambition" has risen again, and he is already planning when he can officially ...... Holding small hands, hugging the waist, the plump body of Loulou......
Seeing that it was about to be June, Lin Han thought about it, took out a pen and paper, and began to write new songs, because recently fans have been complaining that Lin Han has performed too little, and he just made a cameo appearance as a guest singer at several concerts of Jewell Records' singers.
In fact, many fans of Lin Han initiated a vote on the official website of Jewell Records for Lin Han to hold a concert, and the supporters were very large, reaching as many as 100,000 people!
But Lin Han knows that his debut time is too short and he doesn't have enough background to hold a solo concert, after all, the album "Jiangnan" only has ten songs, and if you want to rely on these ten songs to support a large-scale solo concert, it is simply unrealistic, even if you invite a few more guests.
Therefore, Lin Han thought about it, and simply released another album by himself, anyway, there are so many good songs in his head, but it is a little more difficult to choose, as for whether it is good or not, whether the album can sell well, it is not within Lin Han's consideration at all.
