Chapter 253: Doing It Yourself
"Can it break 200 million in six days?"
Fans and audiences hope that their favorite works will create a proud data, and they gather in irrigation parks such as Du Niang Tieba, Mtime Time Network, and Station B Forum, summarizing and collecting box office data, and then guessing the final box office in the first week. "If you get 200 million in the first week, it will be a new record for domestic films."
The media also hopes that "Chinese Partner" can create a super luxurious data, so that the content reported can attract attention and increase sales.
Filmmakers from all walks of life also hope that "China Partner" can achieve a new box office high to prove the possibility of domestic films to sell well, prove the possibility of the domestic market, and increase confidence in investment, consumption and development.
The leaders of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television also hope that "China Partner" can create good results, and the box office of domestic films is directly related to the performance of radio and television. In recent years, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has almost stood on the opposite side of the audience, everything is wrong, and whatever policies are introduced are wrong, and they are scolded every day.
Although they can pretend to be deaf and dumb, they go their own way and put gold on their faces. But public opinion is always fearful, and the head of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television also hopes to have face in the face to prove that under his leadership, Chinese films have achieved excellent, outstanding and fruitful results.
"Actually, it doesn't make sense how much box office you get, it doesn't make sense to me. I hope that a work can be recognized by everyone, and a good reputation is what I want most. ”
In an interview with "China Film News", Bai Yuhan sat in the boss's chair in the office and seemed to say very casually.
It's as if he really doesn't care about the box office. I don't care how many records I can break, I look like an artist who doesn't care about the smell of copper.
But in fact, he is far from being so calm. When creating a new youth movie script "You at the Same Table", he still asked his assistant Lian Meng from time to time how much the real-time box office of "Chinese Partner" was, and how much strength was still before it broke 200 million in six days.
Compared with Bai Yuhan's hypocrisy, starring Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Tong Dawei, etc., he made no secret of his expectations for the box office. have been on station b Weibo. Waving the flag and shouting, calling on fans to give support.
A starring film that has achieved great commercial success. This is a lot of credit to the actors. With such an opportunity to perform, how can they not support it hard.
The vigorous six-day propaganda of breaking 200 million yuan was passionately staged in the attention and expectation of all parties.
Two days on weekends. "Iron Man 2", "How to Train Your Dragon", "Ip Man 2", "Deadly Mobile", "Dungeon Siege", "War of the Gods" and other old and new films. The film schedule was further compressed, adding up to only a little more than 30%, and in some places, many films disappeared directly, and the all-day screenings were arranged for "Chinese Partners".
This kind of treatment was received when "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou was released.
That year, "Hero" received a total of 250 million box office during the three-month release period in China.
Right now. "Chinese Partner" will set off to 200 million in six days.
Can it be successful?
This kind of tangled problem didn't bother you for long at all. In just two days, the weekend passed in a blink of an eye.
The National Film Special Foundation counted the box office data for the first time, and then China Film Group, Huayi Brothers, and Wanhe Tianyi were all on their official blogs, B station Weibo, and micro. The letter (station b) platform announced the news.

At the same time, these records are also the runner-up in mainland film history, second only to the masterpiece "Avatar".
Affected by "Chinese Partner", several other movies this week are miserable, "Iron Man 2" ranks second at the box office with 27 million, "How to Train Your Dragon" is third with 20 million, "Ip Man 2" is fourth with 11 million, and several other movies are almost negligible.
Throughout the week, the market output value was 260 million, of which 200 million belonged to "Chinese Partners", accounting for seventy or eighty percent. And this 260 million. This is more than double the 126 million reported last week. If some people question that "Chinese Partner" relied on the monopoly on film scheduling, it won such a strong box office. This data is enough to flatten the other party's face.
There have always been only Hollywood blockbusters that have driven the mainland film market, and almost few domestic films have doubled the market by themselves.
The headline on the homepage of "China Film News": "The best domestic film of the year has been born in advance, and "Chinese Partner" has won a good reputation. After the artistic value was affirmed, it swept the box office of 200 million in six days, announcing a commercial success. ”
The cover of the Chinese version of "Variety" is Bai Yuhan's big headshot. With the title: "China's future director leader, Bai Yuhan!" ”
The headline picture of mtime is the poster of "Chinese Partner": "Interpreting the film structure of "Chinese Partner", success comes from the creativity of ambition. ”
"A generational impression of China's rapid development for 20 years. "Chinese Partner" uses movies to remember the past and encourage the future. This is a report from "Nandu Entertainment Weekly", which has never given Bai Yuhan face. I didn't say much about the movie, focusing on depicting the social development of these years, but it was quite objective.
"Originally, the role of the White Swordsman promised me a cameo, because I was a day late for the crew, so I was crossed, and I only showed my face at the end in the form of an obituary. But either way, "The Chinese Partner" is good. I took some miniatures of us, and I also took the college entrance examination three times. The first time I scored 1 in mathematics, the second time I scored 19 points, and the third time I scored 89 points. But there is a big problem with this movie, the hero always cries, in fact, entrepreneurs don't cry, entrepreneurs only make others cry. Jack Ma wrote this passage on Weibo.
The success of "Chinese Partner" shocked not only individuals, but also officials.
Xinhua News Agency published a special commentary, commenting on "Chinese Partner" from beginning to end, and called on Chinese filmmakers to learn from "Chinese Partner" and create more high-quality domestic films.
and CCTV's "News Network" also reported on "Chinese Partner", objectively reporting the film's reputation and release.
and found two audience members to interview them about their viewing experience.
An old man: "Now that the film industry in our country has developed, even we elderly people want to come to the cinema to watch a movie, and I watched two movies this year. One is "Confucius", and the other is this "Chinese Partner", both of which are very well filmed, both in terms of ideology and form, which are very meaningful. ”
A female college student with glasses: "I wanted to come to the cinema to watch "Chinese Partner" early in the morning, it was very worth watching after watching it, it was even better than I thought, it was more meaningful, the inspirational part was full of positive energy, and the ending was also very profound, sublimating the theme, I hope to see more movies like this in the theater in the future." ”
……
All in all, "Chinese Partner" set off a monstrous wave and became the most dazzling existence in this early summer.
