Noon and Zach? After Schneider and the others had a happy lunch together, Lin Yuquan went back to Beverly Hills and continued to write novels with peace of mind, but I have to say that this weekend was his lucky day, and in the evening, he received another good news.

Due to the time difference, in China, the week from April 30th to May 6th has come to an end, and the weekly box office rankings of the past week have also been freshly released.

Of course, it is not Xu Jinglei's "Dreams into Reality" that won the top of this week's weekly box office list, in fact, it is far from the top of the list "Spider-Man 3", it is not a level at all, but no one expects it to kill "Spider-Man 3" and lose its armor and collapse the army, for Lin Yuquan and everyone in Shuguang Films, the opponent of "Dreams into Reality" is always only yourself, you can't have too high requirements for a literary film at the box office.

But Lin Yuquan is satisfied enough with the box office of "Dreams into Reality", no, it should be a surprise, 6.34 million, this is the opening weekend box office of "Dreams into Reality", can you ask for more for a literary film that costs only 6 million? And this kind of box office is already the highest among the literary films released this year, the innocent literary film released on January 19, "Happy Birthday" starring Louis Koo and Liu Ruoying had a box office of 2.1 million in the first week, and the 20 million high-cost literary film released on March 9, directed by Xu Anhua, starring Zhou Yanfa, Siqin Gaowa, and Zhao Wei, "Auntie's Postmodern Life" had a box office of 3.3 million in the first week, and the winner of the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the Berlin Film Festival directed by Wang An'an and starring Yu Nan was released on April 13 The box office in the first week was 300,000, and the box office of "Mingming", which was filmed by Zhou Xun and Wu Yanzu as early as 05, was 2.8 million in the first week, and then the just-released "Dream into Reality" was released.

Due to the fact that literary films are not popular, in general, there are very few literary films that can be released in theaters. Basically, they are all films starring popular stars or winning international awards, such as "Tuya's Marriage" belongs to the latter, while the rest of the films belong to the former. Being able to get the box office lead in so many films is enough to show how successful "Dreams Come True" is.

As for being able to achieve such box office results. It is not surprising, first of all, the schedule of the May Day prime time is an important factor, or an absolute factor, and secondly, Shuguang Film spares no effort to promote the film, and the starlight brilliance at the premiere scene is no worse than that of the blockbuster, and then there is the brand appeal of the talented female director Xu Jinglei, which is different from the strangeness of Xu Anhua, Wang An'an, Ou Xueer and others in the audience, and how many young and middle-aged audiences don't know Xu Jinglei. Now that Lin Yuquan, Ning Hao, and Xu Jinglei of Shuguang Film have become the banner figures of young directors in China, and the release of such a director's work, the number of fans who want to know is naturally huge.

And the evaluation of "Dreams into Reality" by the media and the audience made Shuguang Film full of expectations for the film's next box office.

"I like this film not because of the handsome men and women of Xu Jinglei and Huang Lei, but because of the novelty of wanting to know what the two will do next from beginning to end." "I have to admit that this is the sincere work presented by the talented girl Xu Jinglei, which tells us a profound and intriguing story." "It's hard to believe that "Me and Dad", "Letter from a Strange Woman" and "Dream into Reality" are directed by the same director, Xu Jinglei's progress in the directorial level reflected in this film is simply leapfrogging, does it really have a god-like support group?" "Ha, it's pretty. Lin Yuquan and Ning Hao are both outstanding commercial directors, and they are looking forward to talented women launching their own commercial works. ”…… Although there were occasional criticisms, such criticism was instantly drowned out in the endless praise of major media and fans.

In fact, not to mention literary films. Aside from Hollywood movies, there are only two Chinese films released this year that are higher than "Dreams into Reality" in the first week, namely "Disciples" starring Liu Dehua , Zhang Jingchu and others released on February 13, with a box office of 44 million in the first week, and "Twin Thieves" starring Twins released on February 18, with a box office of 8.5 million in the first week, and others such as "Ghost in My Heart" 3.3 million and "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" 4 million, which are lower than "Dreams into Reality", although after the May Day Golden Week. The box office of the film market must have declined sharply, but market analysts of major film companies predict that the final box office of "Dream into Reality" will be at least 12 million. It is even possible to reach 15 million.

Such a box office, plus the film's income in other ways. "Dream into Reality" not only recovered the cost of Lì, but also achieved profitability, although the profit is not much, but the profit is a profit after all, the Dawning Film laughed from ear to ear, originally everyone had a mind, and they would definitely lose some, who knew that it would be profitable, which is definitely a big surprise.

And "Spider-Man 3" unsurprisingly won the top spot at the box office, with the full support of theaters and distributors, 520 film copies, more than 50 2K digital screens and 4 IMAX giant screen screenings, several major web portals in the country made Zuò's May Day holiday entertainment information special page, movie information is all placed in the first position, as long as you go online, you can see the eye-catching 13 "May Day" movie information in the country, and the giant Spider-Man is placed at the entrance of all major theaters...... Such an overwhelming distribution and publicity offensive made "Spider-Man 3" sweep the box office list immediately after its release, 15 million on the first day, 14.4 million on the second day....... 69.6 million in 6 days, only 6 days in the first week exceeded the previous "Spider-Man 1" and "Spider-Man 2" 43 million and 55 million box office, breaking 100 million is no suspense, "Titanic" 360 million is no need to count on, but more than "The Da Vinci Code" 105 million, Pearl Harbor 's 104 million, "King Kong's 102 million", becoming the second place in the list of imported films is just around the corner.

However, the film's reputation is also worrying, in addition to the special effects and emotional lines recognized by media fans, other aspects have been criticized, which is also the biggest obstacle preventing "Spider-Man 3" from catching up with "Titanic".

Due to the May Day prime time to stimulate the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies, the previously released movies also generally hit the box office, and "Life and Death Sniper" in the third week of release rose 9.3% with the help of Golden Week, ranking third with an income of 4.2 million. "Mingming", which was released in the second week of release, increased by 46% this week from last week, ranking fourth with 4.12 million, followed by "Life Remote Control" with 3.15 million, "Dragon Knight" with 2.8 million, and "Heart of the King" with 2.13 million. 860,000 "Storm Assault", 820,000 "Red Beautiful". Overall, it once again proves the phenomenon that the summer file is a Hollywood blockbuster.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Lin Yuquan.

"Hey, senior sister, congratulations, the box office is good!" Lin Yuquan followed and dialed Xu Jinglei's phone.

"Heh, your call is fast enough! I just found out about the box office! Xu Jinglei said with a smile.

"Of course, I called to congratulate you as soon as possible, how about it. How are you feeling right now? Lin Yuquan got up and walked to the balcony.

"What else, of course, I am both happy and relieved, depending on the situation, I finally don't have to be the first director of Shuguang Film to invest money in a loss, otherwise, it will be a shame." Xu Jinglei said in a pleasant voice.

"Yes, it's good that you have this awareness, but I haven't told you about this in order not to stress you too much." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Sure enough, I knew you must be thinking so. Luckily, that's what I'm asking of myself. Xu Jinglei was quite speechless.

Lin Yuquan smiled: "What movie are you going to make next?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, "Dreams Come True" has just been released. Wait for a while to think about it, and I now want to release a personalized font written by myself, and even I have a name in mind, just call it 'Founder Jinglei Simplified', a good name! Xu Jinglei said proudly.

"Heh, senior sister, you are still really tossed, sure enough, I don't understand the mind of a talented girl." Lin Yuquan shook his head with a dumb smile: "If you can take care of it, put more effort into directing and acting." I think you're definitely going to become a more successful director and actor. ”

"I said Yuquan, how did you become as preachy as my parents. Well, I know what you mean. I have an idea for a new movie, I'm sure I'll tell you as soon as possible, and I'm still counting on you to invest in it! Xu Jinglei smiled.

"What, I just don't want you, a talented woman who is about to become a middle-aged woman, to completely degenerate and go astray...... Your depth of thought in literary films is obviously not enough, you may wish to consider considering commercial films, in fact, female directors have natural advantages in love movies, I build yì you consider this aspect, and now domestic romance films are mainly nostalgic or youth campuses, it seems that there is no love movie with professional white-collar workers as the protagonists, this part of the people is the main consumer group of the movie, with them as the protagonists of the movie, there is no doubt that there is a strong box office potential......" Lin Yuquan looked at the beautiful night, The more he talked, the more excited he became, and ideas kept popping up in his head.

Speaking of which, the types of domestic film themes are still not rich enough, and they can be roughly divided into three categories, costume blockbusters, main theme films, small and medium-cost literary films, in terms of commercial films, there are too few types, and the current blockbuster domestic commercial films are almost nothing else except blockbusters and comedies of Ning Hao and Feng Xiaogang, and there are a lot of horror films, but the investment is generally not high, the system is rough, and the climate has not been formed. Hong Kong directors can greatly supplement this aspect, so there is an influx of a large number of Hong Kong commercial films such as "Baby Project", "New Police Story", "A Thousand Changes", "Kung Fu", "Myth", "Seven Swords", "Dragon Tiger Gate", "Disciple", "Hancheng Raiders", "The Great Sage of Love" and so on.

Is there no director in China? No, in China, where there is a lot of land and resources, the number of directors is much higher than that of Hong Kong, what is lacking is only the reason why commercial films can be made well, why is there such a phenomenon, first, the domestic filmization process is far lower than that of Hong Kong, before Zhang Yi's "Hero" came out, but they were all literary films in a leading position, in just a few years, it is good to be able to emerge several excellent commercial directors, with the postponement of time, there will inevitably be more and more excellent commercial directors in China.

However, this is all an afterthought, at this stage, enriching the types of domestic films is the top priority, Hong Kong commercial films are wonderful, but after all, they are not grounded, more and more audiences want to see the stories they are familiar with or happen around them, in this regard, mainland directors naturally occupy a great advantage.

Movies that tell the story of the domestic white-collar class are one of them, and if the perspective is focused on the white-collar workers in Kyoto, Shanghai and other metropolises, it is bound to arouse strong resonance among the majority of white-collar workers.

When other film companies haven't taken action, why doesn't Dawning Film take the lead! This is true for movies, and it is also true for TV series. (To be continued)
