Chapter 277: Madness
Some people are silently sad with regrets, and some people suddenly wake up and recover it in time, a movie can do this, what else can be said about success. Won 219.2 million box office in three days, and the scores of Douban Movie, Time.com, Guevara, and Station B forum all scored more than 9 points, "You at the Same Table" is undoubtedly such a movie.
Greatness can't be said, but the times create heroes, the post-7o generation has become the main force of society, the post-8o generation has shown its edge, and the post-9o generation has gradually matured, and the nostalgia for youth has become the mainstream of this era. "You at the Same Table", which is so appropriate, can at least be called a tidebreaker.
Lead the way!
"The movie has a good reputation at the box office again, does Director Bai have anything in particular you want to say, or what is the secret?" Early in the morning, the reporters blocked the door of the Hammer Building, and when Bai Yuhan arrived in a Mercedes-Benz car, he was bombarded with long guns and short artillery.
"There's no secret, it's just trying to make a good movie, it's simple." Bai Yuhan was dressed in a suit and leather shoes today, very formal, and under the protection of the assistant and driver, he squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the building.
"Director Bai, after watching "You at the Same Table", some viewers reacted that the movie has a tendency to teach students about early love, what do you think of this statement?"
Bai Yuhan smiled: "I think the topic of early love, it doesn't make sense to say it, it's better to be sparse, or we should establish a more comprehensive outlook on life for students, instead of blindly suppressing it, adolescence is very rebellious." Besides, what era is it now, children are precocious, and they know more than adults. Most of the viewers of "You at the Same Table". It's not a child, children should all watch "The Chronicles of Narnia" and the Pleasant Goat Big Wolf. ”
"But after all, there are still some children, who may be affected, right?"
"Then you're going to radio and television for this question. Why is radio and television not graded, after arguing for more than ten years, it still can't be graded. What bloody violence, sucking. Drugs and smoking movies can be seen by children, what are the ways you let us make movies? If you really want to take care of children, everyone should go and make children's movies, how can the movies watched by adults not involve something that has an impact on children. "You at the Same Table" is already popular. ”
"White guide. Within a few days of its release, "You at the Table" broke many box office records. Do you think it will be able to break the record set by Avatar? ”
"Leave it to the market to decide, I don't care if I record or not, it's good to make money, haha."
Invest 10 million. The box office exceeded 200 million in three days, which is simply a doubling of money. Bai Yuhan has never been a greedy person, for him, this movie has fulfilled all his expectations, and it is better not to say anything about breaking the record of "Avatar".
He is not a master of mouth cannons, so he can't do this kind of thing of hyping up for the sake of the box office, and he also thinks this kind of mouth cannon is quite embarrassing. For example, when "Let the Bullets Fly" premiered and did well at the box office, the producer shouted that he wanted to surpass "Avatar". In the end, it was released for more than a month, and even half of the box office of the other party was not obtained, and this was still in the case of water injection.
Although "Let the Bullets Fly" has a part of the investment of Wanhe Tianyi. Bai Yuhan still doesn't like this kind of exaggerated hype. As a filmmaker, you should have self-knowledge, what kind of quality can shout what kind of words.
……
Obviously, Bai Yuhan is reluctant to boast about the box office results, but industry insiders. However, the box office of "You at the Same Table" has been studied, and the reporters have exaggerated it overwhelmingly. Fans are also relish discussing the final results. Every day, the data compiled by the official statistics, after being published on the Weibo of station B, will trigger thousands of discussions.
It seems to have become a topic that can be compared with the Spring Festival at the end of the year.
During the transition period between the Chinese New Year file and the Spring Festival file, it was strongly pulled up by "Avatar" last year, and this year's "You at the Same Table" also made the market soar repeatedly.
In view of the fact that the opening results of "You at the Same Table" are too rebellious, in the new week, from January 17th to 23rd, the film schedule directly broke through the 5o% mark, and once reached 7o% of the monopoly level film schedule.
was crushed by "You at the Same Table", and last Tuesday, the three, four, or five places, "Tron: War", "The Chronicles of Narnia 3: Dawn Treading Waves", "Let the Bullets Fly", and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" fell again and again. Especially the two Hollywood blockbusters, which failed to achieve good results in the first week, went directly into the cold palace this week.
At the same time, two new films were released this week.
"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Year of the Rabbit" is the third theatrical version of the Pleasant Goat series of cartoons, as a model of domestic original cartoons, the Pleasant Goat series has become a well-known brand, loved by children. O9's first big movie "Bull Spirit" hit a good box office of 82.79 million with an investment of less than 10 million.
Last year's "Tiger and Tiger", with an investment of 12 million, created a box office of 124.38 million, becoming the first domestic cartoon with a box office of more than 100 million.
This year's "Year of the Rabbit" is naturally full of expectations, as a children's cartoon, the audience is different, and the pressure from "You at the Same Table" is naturally very small. The industry is generally optimistic that "Year of the Rabbit" can create brilliance again, and even make it a domestic animation brand.
Became with Hollywood cartoons. The humanized world view is different, the Pleasant Goat series, looking at the world with a childlike heart, can be said to be a real children's film in cartoons, filmed for children.
Diametrically opposed to "Year of the Rabbit" is another new film, "New Shaolin Temple" starring Andy Lau , Nicholas Tse , Fan Bingbing and Jackie Chan , this martial arts film is a bit out of time, avoiding the firepower of "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are Honest 2", I thought I could have a good impact, but I met "You at the Same Table" again.
The filmmaker was not afraid of "You at the Same Table" before, after all, this is a small and fresh movie, even if it is supported by Bai Yuhan's title, it is not much better, "New Shaolin Temple" is a martial arts film, and there is no conflict in subject matter. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and "You at the Same Table" was domineering as soon as it appeared, monopolizing the theater schedule.
A week of gunsmoke was in the air, and then the data was released.
"If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" ranked seventh with 5oo thousand. "Let the Bullets Fly" 8oo is slightly stronger, "Chronicles of Narnia 3" 13ooo is okay, and "Tron: War" 16oo is a serious tragedy. No. 3 at the box office. was won by "Year of the Rabbit", which was released for three days, with a score of 4ooo million, which is expected to surpass the previous work.
The second place is "New Shaolin Temple", which was released for five days, 47oo thousand, from an investment point of view, this film is going to kneel.
The top of the box office list was undoubtedly won by "You at the Same Table". Achieved two consecutive championships. What's even scarier is this week's championship. Suddenly, a series of records were broken.
32.85 million yuan in a single week, setting a single-week record, next-week record, and box office record on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in mainland film history. At the same time, the total box office of "You at the Same Table" in ten days totaled 54.77 million yuan, reaching the fastest to break 300 million 5 days. The fastest to break 400 million 8 days, the fastest to break 500 million 1o days!
In addition, the market also hit a new high in film history, with a box office output of 45.75O in a single week, which is a glorious height that has not been reached in the summer, Chinese New Year and Spring Festival in previous years.
Basically, "You at the Table" broke all the records that could be broken except for the box office record in the opening week.
"Another national movie-watching event, "You at the Same Table" swept the box office with 550 million in ten days!" - New. Lang Entertainment headlines.
"Regain your youth and win the box office. "You at the Same Table", domineering release! ”
Bai Yuhan wrote, directed and acted in the youth movie "You at the Same Table", which achieved a box office of nearly 550 million in ten days after its release. It has become another excellent work in the history of Chinese film. - China Film News.
"Time.com's weekly mainland box office roundup: "You at the Same Table" set a record for consecutive championships, and all other films were impacted this week."
"The opening of a new schedule in the domestic film market, last year's "Avadan", this year's "You at the Same Table", the future golden cycle may extend from November to the end of February."
"Encountered the box office overlord "You at the Same Table". "New Shaolin Temple" accidentally became cannon fodder. ”
"Tong Liya, the national school flower, and the white rain of the national school grass. China's high-quality stars were born with "You at the Same Table". ”
"I don't think there is anything good about "You at the Table", Bai Yuhan is very good at tricks, he may make the movie a blockbuster, but he will never leave any impressive movies." Emperor Film boss Yang Shoucheng said in an interview with reporters.
The "New Shaolin Temple" invested by Emperor is going to kneel this time, and the scheduled films are all snatched up by "You at the Same Table", Yang Shoucheng is naturally unhappy with Bai Yuhan. Moreover, Wanhe Tianyi's partner in Hong Kong is Stephen Chow's Bigao Group, which is a competitor to Emperor Films.
Some people are unhappy, some people are very happy, the Hong Kong release of "You at the Same Table" is a cooperation with Bigao Group, and it has been set for next month, that is, February 11, plotting to enter the Valentine's Day schedule. Seeing the crazy box office in the mainland, Stephen Chow was interviewed by reporters and was rarely excited: "Bai Yuhan is a genius director, his movies are very good, I think he will become a film master." ”
"Director Stephen Chow, are you looking forward to working with Bai Yuhan?" The reporter asked.
"We're already working together, and he's executive producing my new film 'The Legend of Demon Slayer.'"
Hong Kong is scheduled for February 11, and Taiwan has also begun to introduce it, and Taiwanese filmmakers, who were still a little hesitant, suddenly couldn't do it. Because of political factors, mainland films are rarely released in Taiwan, such as "Chinese Partner", which set off a frenzy in the mainland, but it was not released in Taiwan.
"You at the Same Table" is a youth film, which has nothing to do with any political factors, it is not difficult to introduce this kind of film, and it is also in line with the taste of Taiwanese audiences who like small and fresh. Therefore, after several rounds of discussions, wrapped in a strong box office trend, Wanhe Tianyi finally negotiated with Taiwanese film dealers.
It is officially scheduled for February 14, with a small-scale screening for four days, and then an expanded release on the weekend.
Hong Kong and Taiwan have negotiated the details of the release, and foreign countries have also begun to contact, but there are not many countries interested in this kind of small freshness with Chinese characteristics, that is, several countries in Southeast Asia with more Chinese are interested in buying distribution rights. And most publishers value the right to distribute DVDs.
Anyway, with a box office of nearly 550 million in ten days, "You at the Same Table" has begun to shake Asia! (To be continued)
