At the end of April 2001, "Tomb Raider" filmed by American director Simon West won the box office championship in the first week of the month, with a total box office of 1 in China after three weeks of release. 1.3 billion RMB.

At the beginning of May, "Shaolin Football" filmed by Xiangjiang director Zhou Xingxing was released, and with Zhou Xingxing's popularity, Zhou's "nonsensical" plot mode was once again expressed.

The first week was 41 million yuan, ranking second at the box office of the week. Subsequently, with the trend of absolute dark horses, "Shaolin Football" won 63 million box office in the second week, suppressing "Tomb Raider" in one fell swoop and becoming the box office champion of the week.

Xu Ke, who was ridiculed and sung by the outside world, directed the fantasy martial arts work "The Legend of Shushan", because of the gorgeous star lineup, exceeded 10 million box office that week, setting a new box office record for martial arts dramas that week, shocking the industry.

Subsequently, new directorial works at home and abroad, such as "Black Friday" and "Rose Hacker", have also achieved good results.

It is worth mentioning that "Big Names", filmed by Chinese director Feng Xiaogang, was cold at the box office after its release a few days ago, and the box office on the first day of the week was only about 6 million.

When the movies shot by a group of domestic and foreign big-name directors are in full swing, on May 12th, the work "The Man of Crazy Boy 1 in the Rivers and Lakes" directed by the new generation director Zhang Heng was also officially released in the eager expectation of many people.

Yanhai, in front of the Wanzhi Cinema.

The sky was as blue as a wash, and Bai Ye was lining up step by step, and the line was very long.

He occasionally picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time boredly, and there were words in his mouth, "Boss, forgive me for skipping work, my brother's movie is about to be released, I have to support it!" ”

Occasionally, he would stand on tiptoe and look at the long line, with an anxious look on his face.

"Dingding......

The mobile phone rang suddenly, Bai Ye glanced at the caller ID, looked helpless, and answered: "Boss, I'll go back immediately, I'll go back immediately!" I'm not going to the bathroom! ”

"Going to the toilet? Xiao Ye, have you heard that the salesperson in a supermarket can go to the toilet for an hour, you Su zhì, or you have to be angry, where are you now? Come back now, or this month's salary will be cancelled immediately! Next month, no, tomorrow will not be used! ”

Bai Ye looked at the size of the entire team, and pretended to plead: "Boss, I really have a stomachache, I don't want half a day's salary today, can't I do it, I'll ask for sick leave!" Boss, give me another chance, you can't bear to see me alone on the streets, can you? I'll be right away, no later than half an hour! ”

The fans in the front and back rows heard Bai Ye open his eyes and say nonsense, and they all turned their heads to look at Bai Ye and shook their heads again and again.

In these years, in order to buy a movie ticket, I have been absent from work, whose fan is this, so frustrated!

The boss roared over there, and Bai Ye apologized and pretended to be a grandson and nodded and smiled.

After talking about today's sick leave, after hanging up the phone, Bai Ye patted the shoulder of the guy in front of him with a calm expression, "Hey, brother, what movie are you going to watch?" ”

"What else can I watch, Tomb Raider!"

"Don't you watch "People in the Rivers and Lakes"?"

Bai Ye seduced: "Directed by Zhang Heng, his "Never Expected" is very good-looking!" ”

"Zhang Heng? Singing, right? "People in the Rivers and Lakes" was filmed by him? The man glanced at Bai Ye and casually dismissed it.

"That movie has been very popular for a while, but I'm still looking at the wind first, and when others test the poison successfully, I'm buying it!"

Bai Ye nodded with a smile, turned his head, and chatted with the one behind him again.

"You also watch "People in the Rivers and Lakes"?"

After some conversation, Bai Ye looked suspiciously at the boy behind him who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, "This is a restricted movie, how old are you this year?" ”

"Ten...... Eighteen! The boy in the plaid shirt said shyly, and then looked around weakly, ignoring Bai Ye no longer.

Because of the large amount of profanity and bloody pictures in "People in the Rivers and Lakes", the distribution specification approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is an R-rated movie, and adults aged 17 and under can only watch it.

Bai Ye looked at the faint fluff that rose from the corner of the boy's mouth, and smiled, eighteen years old? The devil believes in you!

However, teenagers all over the world have similar phenomena, Bai Ye is not surprised, and he is too lazy to break it.

Soon, Bai Ye came to the ticket window, "My sister brought me two movie tickets for "People in the Rivers and Lakes"!" ”

"What time is it?" The ticket sales aunt looked at Bai Ye's handsome little face and asked with a smile.

"Is there anything else left today?"

Bai Ye looked at the newspaper screen in the ticket hall, and the screening times of various films were clearly displayed on it.

"There's a game at three o'clock!"

"Then get me one!"

Bai Ye said briskly.

It's 2:30 now, and after spending forty yuan to buy tickets, Bai Ye prepared a bucket of popcorn and mineral water, and then, he heard the sound of the audience of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" entering the venue on the hall radio, Bai Ye also walked with the crowd, and after walking into the screening hall with a movie ticket, he found a place to sit down.

There are a total of 800 seats in the entire screening hall, and there are enough people in sight, Bai Ye counted it carefully, and was surprised to find that the attendance rate was nearly 30%!

You must know that in a real sense, Zhang Hengke is a rookie director, and his first works are so popular, as long as the response is good, it is probably appropriate to break 10 million at the box office that week.

According to the distribution standards negotiated between the distributor Yinggu Film and Television and the theater chain, "People in the Rivers and Lakes" will be released in 1,200 theaters across the country at the same time on the same day!

There are nearly 5,000 cinemas in the country, with more than 20,000 screening halls, and "People in the Rivers and Lakes" can have a film scheduling rate of nearly 20%, which is very impressive in the eyes of newcomers.

A movie theater generally has eight screening halls, and if "People in the Rivers and Lakes" is scheduled for five screening halls every day, there will be 6,000 screening halls across the country at the same time.

If there is a 30% attendance rate and nearly 1.5 million people watch it on the same day, then according to the ticket price of 40 yuan, the box office of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" can reach 57 million in one day.

Of course, this is a theoretical box office, after all, not every movie theater will arrange "People in the Rivers and Lakes" in five screening halls, and not everyone will enter the cinema to buy tickets for "People in the Rivers and Lakes".

But judging from the attendance rate of Wanzhi Cinema in Yanhai City, it is not impossible to achieve this number.

The incandescent lights in the theater suddenly went out, and the light on the big screen was slowly flashing.

The speaker gradually plays sound.

Bai Ye's expression flashed with excitement.

Since leaving Hong Xing, Bai Ye came to Yanhai alone, and the original intention was naturally to go to his dormitory friends in college, but a series of obstacles that occurred in the middle made Bai Ye extinguish this idea.

"Ah Heng, come on!" While eating popcorn, Bai Ye stared at the big screen tightly, not letting go of any picture, even the subtitles of the prelude, Bai Ye wanted to imprint it in his heart.

"Do you remember the big wish we made on the rooftop of the school?"

“…… Make a movie with a box office of over 100 million! ”

Bai Ye looked at the words and LOGO of "Nirvana Film and Television Production zuò" flashing at the beginning of the big screen, and his eyes were moist.

"I know ......"

"Half of our dreams, you've come true!"
