―――――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

Now is the era of information explosion, the network media will always be in the forefront of the paper media, when the newspaper is still calibrating the typesetting, several major web portals and the world~ya, cats~ flutter and other places have been spreading.

""Old Boy" PK "Assembly Number", Yang Lin vs Feng Xiaogang, the competition between the old and the new in the New Year file is the first to watch!"

The new ~ wave network took this news as the front page, and the two movies were extremely expected, but "The Assembly" was also released in advance, resulting in the two competing on the same stage, which is an excellent topic, much better than a separate report.

"The Assembly", which was originally scheduled to be released in two days, couldn't wait to advance the time and went head-to-head with the well-prepared "Old Boy". Yesterday's premieres of both films were star-studded, with big-name superstars abounding. In the face of the menacing "Assembly Number", Yang Lin has the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and confidently shouted the slogan of 300 million box office, not only that, but also made a promise to swim naked after the total box office breaks 600 million!

Feng Xiaogang and Yang Lin can be described as a master-apprentice relationship, and the classic "No Thieves in the World" is the product of their cooperation, but Yang Lin was still a newcomer without the slightest fame at that time, and Feng Xiaogang was already famous. This master-apprentice duel is particularly eye-catching, it is worth mentioning that Yang Lin has previously played the male lead in "The Assembly", but I don't know why he didn't participate. ”

This report reported in detail the grievances and grievances between the two from a neutral perspective, and analyzed it in more detail, which made many people suddenly realize that there was a period of right and wrong between these two people.

Midnight is one of the important factors to measure a movie, although many movies are in the middle and late stages, but that is called a dark horse, that is a minority. Judging by the investment in "Oldboy". Being able to have so many films on the first day represents the level of importance that the theater side attaches to this movie.

Counting the popular "Casting Names", tonight's midnight file is really just three movies competing. However, the midnight file will obviously not be the world of a military war movie, and it will be the first to go out in the first round of competition.

Chen Kexin's "Casting a Name" brought together many stars from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and was simultaneously released in East Asia, Southeast Asia and other countries. "Vote for Fame" has been in Taiwan since December 13, and it has won a box office of NT$10 million on the first day, and in less than 10 days, it has won NT$100 million, winning both box office and word-of-mouth. The box office in the mainland is not bad. It received 21 million box office on the first day, ranking second in mainland film history.

The box office result in five days of release is 60 million yuan, and it is close to breaking 100 million, which is the only costume blockbuster of the year and the most promising film to win the championship.

In terms of midnight stalls, there are more than 800 shows across the country, more than half of which are showing "Old Boy", and many theaters even have a hard time finding tickets, and some theaters have an attendance rate of as high as 97%.

Maybe "The Assembly" chose to go head-to-head with "Old Boy" was a wrong decision, judging by the current situation. "Oldboy" is exceptionally good, with outrageously high attendance.

After dominating the first midnight slot. "Oldboy" ushered in its national release in a real sense, and this nostalgic youth film attracted a large number of audiences into the cinema.

"Old Boy" has a 50% attendance rate during the day, and from 5 p.m., "Old Boy" is full. By 7:30 p.m., all tickets for the "Oldboy" show were sold out before 11 p.m. According to the estimation of the cinema staff, the North ~ Jinghuaxing Cinema alone is enough to generate a first-day box office result of 300,000 yuan recently.

This result is only a lot more than "Casting Names", and "Casting Names", which was released last week, was only 180,000 yuan in Huaxing Cinema.

And there is not a single big-name star in "The Assembly". Although Feng Xiaogang is extremely confident that he is the box office appeal, judging from today's situation, it has completely become cannon fodder. You can only find a little living space between the two movies.

It is undeniable that "Assembly" has a good production team and a very good plot, but it didn't choose a good time for release, and it ran into "Vote for Fame" and "Old Boy", and its tragedy was inevitable.

"Oldboy" leads the way with 42.7%, while "Vote for Fame" is second with 33.4%, and there is no doubt that the third is "Assembly", which barely reaches 18.6%.

The box office is used to break, and this sentence is very applicable to Yang Lin. This summer, he starred in "Lust and Caution", "Transformers", and "Mei Lanfang", all of which broke a lot of records. And now it has also carried over to "Old Boy".

Although the box office failed to break on the first day, the box office of 37 million is second only to "Mei Lanfang" also starring Yang Lin among domestic films.

In addition, "Oldboy" also set the highest single-day box office record for a single theater this year: on December 17, "Oldboy" created a box office record of 400,000 in Wanda Theaters, breaking the record of 360,000 in "Transformers"!

Now is not the time period for the holiday, so many people don't have time to enter the cinema, "Old Boy" is aimed at the post-70s, post-80s, and even some post-90s and post-60s, with a considerable age span. And this part of the people is the main force of society, with a fairly high level of consumption, so waiting until Christmas and New Year's Day is the time for the box office to grow by leaps and bounds, which is just an appetizer.

"Old Boy" on the first day of release won a total of 37 million box office nationwide, beating "Casting Names", which was released for a week, and "Assembly", which was released at the same time.

Although the opening was not good, the Huayi brothers didn't care much, they had long been clear about the situation, and it was very difficult to get out of the encirclement in the first time in so many movies, not every movie is called "Old Boy".

"Only the movie that has the last laugh is a good movie, although the box office a few days ago is very important, but our movie will be released for a total of 40 days, and it will be promoted later, the situation will be much better, you have to have confidence in yourself!" Wang Zhonglei, chief operating officer of Huayi Brothers Media Group, said to Feng Xiaogang with confidence.

However, Feng Xiaogang's face was a little embarrassed, he was thrown away so much on the first day, and it would be difficult to catch it back later. Turnarounds don't happen every year. But after all, he has been in the entertainment industry for a long time, so naturally he won't say anything else at this time.

Time is getting faster and faster, Yang Lin only took a week's vacation from the crew of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and now that the movie has just been released, he can still follow the crew to promote it for a while, but his single will also be released in the near future, and these things are enough for him to be busy.

With director Li Junxiao leading the starring Yang Lin, Xu Zheng, Jing Tian, Sun Honglei and others to launch a nationwide tour of publicity, the enthusiasm of major theater audiences for "Old Boy" is rising. On the one hand, the theater continues to report box office successes, and on the other hand, the audience is constantly moved by the sincerity of "Old Boy".

Many netizens spontaneously commented on the Internet, expressing their appreciation for "Old Boy" in the most plain language. In addition, many film and television experts have also voiced their voices, saying that "Old Boy" will create a new era of Chinese blockbusters worth looking forward to!

Hai~Nan Daily: "Old Boy": Who knows whose youth! Recently, "Old Boy" has been very popular, it is just a movie of the same name, especially for those who are nearing the end of their youth, it represents a kind of regret and pain of the youth past, this emotion has been shared by almost everyone, so this autobiographical work from the 70s and 80s has touched the post-70s, post-80s and even post-90s. ”

West China Metropolis Daily: "Old Boy": An elegy for youth with nowhere to put it! Do a search on the web. The attention of this film is far above the work of the famous South Korean director Park Chan-wook of the same name. Although there are too many differences and gaps between the two in essence, this "Old Boy" is widely accepted because it is close to a certain corner of the hearts of Chinese people. One of the reasons. It is nothing more than a "nostalgic" and "inspirational" theme that touches people's hearts. The film really touches people's hearts, or that kind of sincerity, a kind of heartfelt emotion that can really resonate with the audience. ”

Guangming Daily: "Youth is not gone, why grieve? Youth will eventually be lost, what we have to do is not to watch it fade away, but to add a touch of color to it, life. It will be different from now on. When you get old, there are still a little starlight in the depths of your memory. A person has to explode once, after all. Life is short, why be sad and self-pitying, care about the eyes of many people. Our youth is in the prime of life, so why bother to feel those sorrows. When the song sounds, the red silk flies, and the arrogance of youth does not need a reason. Young people need to believe in themselves, and even when they are at a loss, they still have piety in their hearts. ”

In addition to these film reviews published in the newspaper columns, there have been quite a lot of comments on the Internet, and a netizen named the other side of freedom in the light network (mtime) wrote: "Youthful atmosphere, although I am not a post-80s generation, I can still resonate!" The theme song "Old Boy" is not ordinarily good! A masterpiece in a short film! ”

On the time~ light network, since the release of "Old Boy" two days ago, there have been 12,000 ratings, and more than 4,000 people want to watch it, the score is temporarily 8.9 points, which is the score of classic movies, and the score may fall in the future, but it will not be too serious.

On the Dou~ Valve network, many Doudou shouted 'full of cows', among which 'Meow Meow Ghost' gave the movie a score of 9.4, she wrote: "The two old boys represent the post-80s generation who have aged before we grow up. MJ's departure heralds the end of our youth~ The girl who should have belonged to her, who is in her arms now~ Youth is like a rushing river, and it is too late to say goodbye if you don't come back, only the ordinary me is gone, and I don't have the blood of the year', a song that sublimates the soul of the movie, sings the old boy in everyone's heart. ”

This time, the appetizer of "Old Boy" is very good, it was released for two days, 37 million on the first day, and it dropped slightly on the second day, collecting 34 million yuan, and a total of 71 million yuan at the box office in two days, which is about to equal the total box office of "Casting Names".
