Chapter 259: The Billion Yuan Club
30 million yuan for the first three days and 45 million yuan for the second week, "The Four Famous Catchers of Beijing" is in the wind on May Day. It's very sassy, although the reputation is average.
On Douban, a newly established reading, music, and movie sharing and exchange website last year, the rating is only 6. 1 point. Douban relies on the functions that can communicate and share comments, publish diaries, and create movie lists, attracting a group of movie fans. At this time, most of the users who are in the mood to post movie reviews have read countless films.
With the decline of Hong Kong films, the invasion of Hollywood blockbusters, and the competition for who is worse after one bad film after another in domestic films, everyone has a conditioned reflex in their hearts - domestic films are equal to bad movies.
Unfortunately, "The Four Famous Catchers of Jingshi" has also become a domestic bad movie in the mouth of Douban netizens, and has been denounced as fast food, money, and no thought and no connotation. All kinds of one-star and two-star brushes flew up.
Of course, there are still many sensible fans who give three or four stars to the point.
There are also a group of die-hard fans of movies, most of whom are fans of novels accumulated by Zhang Tan over the years, and they are brushed with five stars and five stars. reluctantly raised the score a little, so that the total score of the movie can exceed the 6 mark.
Because of the congenital discrimination against domestic films, basically on Douban, domestic films that can exceed 6 points belong to films that can be watched. Foreign films are probably more than 7 points to be able to watch films. Of course, Douban has not been established for a long time, and there are not many users, only about 100,000 people, which can only be used as a reference.
As a movie, the rating of "The Four Famous Catchers of Beijing" is low, but as a novel, it is not low. There are exactly 8. 2 points. All the eight martial arts novels created and published by Zhang Tan have a rating page on Douban. The lowest of them is "The Four Famous Capture of Kanto", only 7. 7 points.
Zhang Tan is also in recent days. paid attention to the word-of-mouth of the movie, only to find that this website, which had appeared in the memory of his previous life, was quietly born.
So he glanced at all the ratings of his relevant works.

So far, the highest rating of Douban books and the number of ratings is more than 1,000 people, which is 9. "Dream of Red Mansions" with 5 points, followed by "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
can temporarily be compared with "Dream of Red Mansions", which shows how much influence this martial arts novel has had in the past few years.
“6。 1 is a bit low, I thought it was good when I watched the premiere, why didn't they think it looked good? When Susa came back from filming, she was also browsing the ratings on Douban.
Zhang Tan has mixed Douban in his previous life and knows the taste of Douban, on Douban, domestic films are basically synonymous with bad movies.
Thus the film got 6. 1 point, as he expected.
And he also saw and created the score of "Jing Ke Assassinating Qin", which created the era of domestic blockbusters. The film has set box office records for Chinese-language films in many countries, and has also achieved a box office of more than $50 million in North America, making it one of the few successful Chinese-language blockbusters.
However, the rating is only 6. 6 points.
"Domestic films are not enough to support good films that convince everyone, and bad films will inevitably affect everyone's objective views." Zhang Tan explained very understandingly, "Most of Douban's scores are non-nutritious, and what you should really look at are those comments that have something to say, such as this ......"
Zhang Tan pointed to the comment of a user who had scored three stars on the page.
The comment said: "The performance of the actors is very poor, and the details are not enough, compared with the original book, it is much worse." The only bright spot is that the story is smooth, at least it doesn't make me fall asleep watching it. ”
This kind of film review that says the advantages and disadvantages is generally the comments of people who have actually watched the movie, while a large part of other films such as "garbage film", "out of the cinema in ten minutes", and "I really regret watching it" are all passing by and pretending to be forced.
Why does Zhang Tan know this, because in his previous life, he himself brushed a star for domestic films, and he has never seen many movies, but he is not used to the attitude of domestic film circles, so he directly brushes a star and scolds two bad movies.
It's my turn to start making movies in this life, and looking at such comments again, I have to say that it's a little irony.
"Fortunately, I have a lot of good movies in my head, and when I become a director, I am not afraid of being scolded." Zhang Tan thought bitterly again, he believed that his birth should be able to reverse the weakness of some domestic films, so that everyone can have a comfort, at least one director can make a good film.
……
Douban's score, in Zhang Tan's opinion, is low.
Sonic Pictures itself sent people to the door of the cinema to do a survey, and most of the people who have seen the movie are satisfied with the movie.
The box office also proves the audience's recognition.
Ten days after its release, it won 75 million yuan, which was a surprise.
At this time, the important test of "The Four Famous Catchers of Beijing" arrived, and on May 13, the Hollywood blockbuster "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" was released in China. This is a children's adventure fantasy blockbuster, produced and distributed by Disney, with a production cost of up to 1. $800 million.
In the end, in the third week of its release, "The Four Famous Hunters" failed to retain the position of the weekly champion, with a weekly box office of 18 million, succumbing to "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe" with 32 million.
can't say defeated, after all, it was released ten days in advance, and this result shows that it is not a big bad movie, and there is no big dive.
So far, the total box office of the movie has accumulated 93 million, and it is about to exceed 100 million.
In the fourth week of the following, "The Four Famous Catchers of Beijing" only got 9.5 million box office. However, the total box office successfully squeezed into the 100 million yuan club, with a total of 102.5 million yuan.
In the fifth week of its release, it was successfully painted with a box office of 2 million.
Final Box Office 1. 04.5 billion yuan, slightly lost to the 1 of "The Da Vinci Code". 0.5 billion box office, failed to lead the mainland box office list, which is a small pity.
Aside from this regret, one should rejoice.
And indeed cheered.
Sonic Pictures held a grand celebration banquet at the Bei Ling International Hotel.
At the celebration banquet, Wang Changtian, president of Sonic Media, Shao Xiaofeng, general manager of Sonic Pictures, Chen Gordon, film director, and Zhang Tan, the author of the original book, each held a small hammer in their hands and stood in front of a huge ice sculpture dragon.
The long ice sculpture is carved into the words "104500", symbolizing the box office success of the film.
“1、2、3!”
The emcee's slogan shouted, and the four of them smashed the small hammer down at the same time, smashing the ice sculpture dragon.
Click, click.
Reporters frantically took pictures. (To be continued.) )
