"Oh, this movie is so good, sometimes I wish I could wake up and forget everything about yesterday, and it would be better to have a man who loves me like this all the time."

"Does anyone know who sang "SightofYou" and did you have an album to buy? The song at the end is so good, I love the feeling. ”

"Fuck the curse of the Kennedys, who poured such disgusting dirty water on such a romantic movie, I almost missed it."

"I love Henry, we all love him to death!"

“”

Looking at the fans' comments on "50 First Loves" on the official website of Columbia, Xiansen snapped his fingers proudly, the movie can get so much appreciation, coupled with the popularity of the previous hype, it is difficult to think about the box office.

Xiansen has always believed that the box office is not the purpose of his own films, but it is the proof of the success of his films, in his eyes, the box office is not bad does not mean that the movie is bad, but the box office is high, there must be its uniqueness, of course, this only refers to the mature film market!

Of course, not only the fans gave their appreciation, but also the media who went to the premiere gave their own evaluations.

The Chicago Sun-Times was one of the most vocal contributors, and in a critic's column, the well-known film critic Roger Ebert wrote: "If you take everything lightly, then even the worst life can become a favor from heaven." In "50 First Loves", the director uses amnesia and love as the most basic structure, and tells us a sad but not depressing story in a relaxed but not exaggerated way, sorry, maybe this is not just a story, but life. ”

If Roger Ebert's praise for the film is still a little subtle, the Washington Post has become a complete advocacy model.

"Fantastic movie! I believe that after watching "50 First Loves", every audience will definitely feel that the investment in this movie is at least more than 30 million yuan, but unfortunately, you are wrong, according to our reporter Thomson's investigation, this movie only has an investment of two million US dollars, two million US dollars, an incredible number. I don't want to say more about the creativity and imagination of the film's plot, and I don't want to mention the delicacy of the picture, I just want to know how the young oriental director used two million dollars to shoot such a classic? If our Oriental Director would like to share his secrets, he is welcome to send an email to service@.

The Washington Post also extended an invitation to Xiansen at the end, but of course, this was only to add a bit of humor to the article, and no one would take it seriously. Is it true that no one would take this invitation seriously? Oh no, after seeing the invitation from the Washington Post, Xiansen wrote a serious article and sent it over, in fact, he had long wanted to find a newspaper to make a special issue to publish some of his own comments, and the Washington Post seemed to be a good choice.

As the world's most authoritative entertainment magazine "Variety", it also gave its own evaluation of "50 First Love":

"What is love? When we ask this question, we can get many answers, and some people may say that life and death are inseparable from love; Some people will say that it is love; Some people will say that ignorant youth is love. But the movie "50 First Loves" interprets the meaning of the word love to us from another angle.

If one day I don't remember you anymore, will you still love me?

A very simple sentence, but it outlines the cruelest love.

Do you have the courage to love someone who will never remember you? Do you have such persistence in making the person you love fall in love with yourself again every day? If life is only as it is the first time, but if every day becomes the first meeting, will you still have such a romantic expression?

I don't know your answer.

It is true that the movie "50 First Loves" gave us the best ending, but such an ending made me cry, not because of the movie, but because of life. ”

Variety, known as the "Hollywood Bible", is the vane of the global media and entertainment industry, and is also a must-read publication for industry insiders around the world. For the movie "50 First Loves", although it only occupies a small chapter, its literary and artistic comments still attracted the attention of many people.

Of course, there are positive and negative reviews, and the New York Times, which is actually controlled by the Kennedy family, has been a fierce critic of the film.

The New York Times' film column reads: "The story of dog blood and some vulgar jokes make such a bad movie, Lucy's amnesia without scientific basis, Henry's inexplicable transformation, and the family's unnecessary concealment, if I had to find the bright spot in such a film whose script and story are completely detached from reality, it would be the duck, whose acting skills surpassed everyone else." ”

The New York Times is a newspaper with a large circulation, and this kind of satirical evaluation has a great negative impact on "50 First Loves", but Xiansen is not worried at all, word of mouth is word of mouth, and even the "New York Times" cannot stop this spread.

The box office results of the first day of "50 First Loves" Xiansen already knew from Cook, 1,200 theaters, with an attendance rate of 82%, received $4.38 million at the box office. This box office result ranked second on the day, only 200,000 away from "Hannibal". But you must know that "Hannibal" was released in more than 3,000 movie theaters in the United States, and of course, it was already the fifth day of its release.

"Didn't even get to the first place in the premiere?"

Xiansen shook his head in disappointment when he got this result, thinking that his film should be able to surpass "Hannibal", at least on Valentine's Day premiere.

"Don't be dissatisfied."

Cook looked at Xiansen's disappointed expression with disdain, and then smiled: "Mister, let's make another bet, I bet that next week's box office will be higher than this week, how about it?" To bet or not to bet? ”

Hearing this question, Xiansen rolled his eyes and looked at Cook with an idiotic look, the box office will definitely be higher next week, the 82% attendance rate is too terrifying, and the current more than 1,000 movie theaters simply cannot meet the needs of the market, in the face of this situation, Xiansen feels that the bosses of these theaters will no longer take the words of the Kennedy family seriously, and the face has already been given, and they need to make money next.

The box office of the second week exceeded the first week, which relied on word of mouth.

The box office of "50 First Loves" in the first week finally reached $24 million, ranking second this week, while "Hannibal" continued to be the first place with $30 million, but in terms of potential, "50 First Loves", which has an average attendance rate of 78%, can be said to have exploded "Hannibal" with an attendance rate of 52%, but 1,200 theaters are too few.

"Mister, those guys can't sit still."

In the office, Cook handed his mobile phone to Xiansen, and then said with a smile: "Look, these theaters are coming to contact us now." ”

"You're wrong, it's you, not me."

That's right, these have nothing to do with Xiansen, you know, Xiansen only has 18% of the box office share, and the rest is the interests between the theater chain and Columbia. Regardless of what happens to Colombia's negotiations with these theaters, he just needs to be higher at the box office.

"But I'll give you a bonus."

After getting the phone back, Cook smiled and gave Xiansen a sweet cake that sounded good.
