Chapter 454: First Day Results
When the cast and crew list was just listed and the lights in the theater were not turned on, Chu Qing and Zhou Xun had already left the scene and quickly stepped into the elevator, and the moment the door closed, they heard a faint noise.
It was two o'clock in the morning, and the way back seemed quieter, and even the occasional passing cars and people were quietly permeating the night.
The two of them didn't hide it too much, walking shoulder to shoulder under the street lamp, undoubtedly much more relaxed than when they came. Because there is no need to argue about the quality of some movies, and the audience's reaction also adds a sense of satisfaction and pride to them.
"Poof!"
Zhou Gongzi walked and suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" He turned his head, the corners of his mouth bent as well.
"And what are you laughing at?" She asked rhetorically.
"I'll laugh whatever you laugh at."
“……”
She couldn't help pouting, and seemed to be a little cold, so she casually pulled on her scarf to cover half of her little face.
"Is it cold?" He asked.
"If I said it was cold, would you give me clothes to wear?" She swayed slightly.
"No, it won't."
Chu Qing stretched out his fingers, compared them up and down, and said, "You will mop the floor when you wear my clothes." ”
"Dang!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Gongzi's thin boots were stuck in the original position of his left foot, and they slammed with the stone bricks, making a crisp sound.
"It's good that I moved fast!"
The thing patted his chest, and he was pretending to be virtuous.
It took more than 20 minutes for the two of them to arrive downstairs of the hotel, the surroundings were quiet, and the lights were still lit in the lobby.
"You go in first, I'll wait a minute."
There were still more than ten meters away from the steps, and Chu Qing stopped.
"Then I'll go first, bye-bye!"
Zhou Gongzi didn't grind and waved his hand to him.
"Click!"
She ran five or six paces before suddenly stopped. Wipe over and stand still. Between the two, there is just a distance where they can look at each other without scruples, but they are not embarrassed.
I saw Zhou Gongzi pick up the corner of his coat, as if holding a bright pleated skirt, and then bent his knees slightly, made a beautiful and funny salute, and said with a smile:
"Thank you!"
"Good night!"
…………
The next day, Zhou Gongzi appeared in front of everyone wearing big sunglasses.
Chu Qing didn't do anything to hide it, because everyone knew that he didn't like to wear sunglasses the most, so he simply held up a pair of bloodshot eyes. lest you want to cover it up.
However, they didn't arouse any suspicion, and Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei also didn't sleep well.
The schedule for these two days is very tight, and I have to fly to Lingnan to run a few theaters today, and then transfer to Fujian Province for publicity, and tomorrow I have to turn back to the capital. There's no way, now that the commercial market is open, what you fight for is exposure, if you don't grab the audience, others will grab it. Properly tired into a dog.
And when the crew rushed to the scene, "No Thieves in the World" finally ushered in a comprehensive media report after a day of fermentation.
Feng Xiaogang used his unique film language to give this legendary story a legendary ending. Wang Bo because of love. And helped the stupid roots, but also lost their lives. When the film ended, most of the female fans had red eyes and seemed to be incited to tears by the sensationalism at the end. There is even a guy who said while walking: It's so embarrassing, I lost tears when I watched Feng Xiaogang's movie! ”

"Feng Xiaogang can always surprise me, in fact, I used to watch his things just to be funny. That's because everyone is more impetuous. This movie is quite profound, he is not only for being funny, there are many things that touch your heart. ”
――"Hangzhou Evening News"
"There are no thieves in the world" was screened in Jinling Cinema, and the audience, who have always been more restrained about watching films, applauded neatly. A couple of lovers sitting next to the reporter took advantage of the fact that the lights had just turned on, took off their glasses, and kept wiping their tears. ”
-- Modern Express
A college student audience member said: It's so touching, I cried when I watched it. I am a fan of Zhou Xun, her performance in the film is too surprising, and it is seamless with Chu Qing. I also think Feng Xiaogang is very powerful, and he can show us something different every year. ”
-- Oriental News
The above points of view, and the article of "Yangcheng Evening News" is the most representative, and it actually opened a movie review in the A version:
"Feng Xiaogang's transformation this time is very successful, he has grasped the three basic points, the story, the location, and the actors.
Director Feng's screenwriting resources are quite abundant, in other words, his story is much more beautiful than Zhang Yi's. In fact, the film expresses nothing more than the spirit of thieves and Taoists, and this kind of plot emerges endlessly in Hong Kong and Taiwan films. But the rhythm of "No Thieves in the World" is more appropriate, it is not simply the process of a person changing from a thief to a hero, but more importantly, it shows the kindness of human nature in this process.
The selection of locations for the film turned out to be so important - this is the conclusion that many people have drawn from Zhang Yi's film. And Feng Xiaogang also used a lot of exterior shots this time, which are quite magnificent. Whether it is the majestic Labrang Monastery, the desolate Sanke grassland, or the vast Gannan wilderness...... They all have a mysterious shocking power, and they are blended with the scenery and scenes, and Feng Xiaogang is really beautiful to win!
The premise of this article is the third point.
"Ambush on All Sides" raised a group of big stars to support popularity, but was scolded by the audience. Director Feng went off the rails and invited Chu Qing and Zhou Xun, two major literary and artistic coffees, which really achieved amazing results. The feeling of the two protagonists, tacit understanding, interaction, every trace is just right, and it also makes the audience feel a concept:
What exactly is a big actor? What do you mean by a big star? ”
It can be said that due to the revision of the script and the group of actors, "No Thieves in the World" has no evaluations similar to "full of loopholes" and "acting skills".
Although there are some negative arguments, they are quickly drowned out in the face of the overall trend.
The paper media reported this, and the Internet exploded even more, but those goods are more unreliable, especially Chu Erren's fans:
"Hahaha, report a good news, today I went to watch "No Thieves in the World", the film is good."
"This is bullshit good news, I should go to watch "No Thieves in the World" today, the film is good, and the hero and heroine are even better!"
"A million agreed! From the first look of that dog man and woman coming out, I couldn't help but scream, and my boyfriend thought I was crazy! ”
"Don't go upstairs to forcibly show your boyfriend. Beat to death! ”
"Alas, I broke it, and there were tears in my eyes. I've been obsessed with this pair since "Suzhou River", and after waiting for seven years, I finally got candy! ”
"Suzhou Creek" +1, when I was young, I didn't understand motors and peonies."
"Suzhou Creek" +2, when I was young, I didn't understand motors and peonies."
"Suzhou Creek" +3, when I was young, I didn't understand motors and peonies."
"I don't know about the motor and the peony. I knew that Chu Qing and Zhou Xun were absolutely tired! ”
"Hey, it's so unbelievable upstairs, the two of them have a leg!"
"What does it mean to have a leg, pure I beg for an explanation."
"It means that two people who have never known each other before are sitting together......"
"And then ......"
"And then ......"
"Of course it'......"
"!"
…………
10th, night.
In Huayi's conference room, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Feng Xiaogang, Chu Qing and others gathered around, and after a short period of large-intensity publicity activities, everyone was very tired.
It was quiet in the house. Everyone was in good spirits, and Feng Xiaogang was still stretching his neck to look outside, as if he was waiting for someone.
"Tick! Tick! ”
The clock moves rhythmically, making subtle sounds. It seems that the atmosphere is getting more and more tense.
"Bang dang!"
Just when Wang Zhonglei and the others were impatient and wanted to urge, they suddenly heard the door being pushed open, and Manager Geng of the distribution department ran in with a snort.
"It's out! It's out! He clutched a data sheet. Excited.
"Hey, slowly!"
Wang Zhongjun waved his hand and waited for the other party to calm down a little. Cai said: "Let's talk about the box office first." ”
"Hucheng?"
"60,000!"
"Rongcheng?"
"50,000!"
"Beijing?"
"100,000!"
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned, under the condition that the media in the capital was completely blocked, "No Thieves in the World" could still swipe 100,000 box office. You must know that this year's most powerful "Ambush on All Sides" is only 150,000.
It seems that Feng Xiaogang is still a little thin in the hearts of the people in the capital.
In the end, the box office of the film was 690,000, close to the record of 800,000 set by "Hero" that year.
Manager Geng reported the good news first, and after a while, the detailed materials were sent over, one for each person. Chu Qing also held a few pieces of paper and looked at them seriously. Start with the first word, move on to the data in the middle, and then move on to the last word. Before he knew it, his hands were shaking slightly.
For the first time, he faced the box office of a movie so intuitively, and he really didn't expect that he would be so excited.
Nan*Beijing, Hangzhou*zhou, and Ning*bo, the box office on the first day all exceeded "Ambush on All Sides"!
Beijing, Shanghai * Sea, the attendance rate is more than 85%!
Hong Kong, even if there is no main publicity, but the Chinese version is screened in the largest theater, and the venue is all full!
And Wu * Han!
Cheng*Du!
Celebration!
Even in a place as cold as Ha Erbin, the attendance rate reached 80%.
At the bottom, there is a summary: "No Thieves in the World" was released in major cities on the 9th, and the box office on the first day was the highest in the history of Huayi Films:
8.1 million!
……
After a long time, everyone looked up and looked at each other again.
In the same period last year, the box office of "Mobile Phone" was 2.2 million on the first day, and this film has soared far beyond this number. Everyone knows what that means:
"No Thieves in the World" is very likely to become the second film to have a box office of over 100 million this year, and it is also the first movie in Feng Xiaogang's career to have a box office of over 100 million.
Rao is Director Feng has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he can't help but be a little out of shape at this time.
Although Chu Qing is restrained on the surface, he also turned the pot in his heart, he has made movies for so many years and won so many awards, but today is a completely different experience.
That string of numbers is not a simple monetary victory, but also an affirmation and praise for one's own efforts.
And Wang Zhonglei and them, who were silent for a few seconds, didn't know who started the head, one, two, three, four...... Brushed the brush and gave a thumbs up to the two most important creators.
The audience was solemn, just like a dazzling monument, well-deserved! (To be continued......)
