"The Legend of Heavenly Sword" is a blockbuster carefully prepared by the great director Wang Baogang, which is highly anticipated by the market, even those who are very disappointed in Wang Baogang because of "Heaven and Earth", when "The Legend of Heavenly Sword" is about to be released nationwide, they are still very concerned, and it is indispensable to discuss it with others on the Internet.

The sideways victory of "Painted Skin" was something that everyone did not expect, after all, when "The Legend of Sword and Heaven" started filming, Stephen Zhao had not yet become famous.

Later, the schedules of the two movies were so close that they immediately attracted the attention of countless people to compare.

Whether Stephen Zhao and Wang Baogang are willing or not, it is already a fact that "The Legend of Sword and Heaven" and "Painted Skin" have become competitors.

So far, it is "Painted Skin" that has won, because it not only set a record of 83 million on the first day of the box office, but also set a record for the next day box office to exceed the first day box office, and a series of Chinese film records such as the first week box office exceeding 500 million. This feels a very strong pressure on "The Legend of Heavenly Sword", which is about to be released.

It is not too much to use "Alexander" to describe the mood of Wang Baogang and the producer Glorious Media these days.

Even those who are very confident in the film "The Legend of Sword and Heaven" are in a very depressed mood during this time, and they think indignantly: ""Painted Skin" is just relying on the early release, if "The Legend of Sword and Heaven" is released first, now it will be the turn of "Painted Skin" tragedy!" ”

Of course, there are still people who are optimistic about Wang Baogang and "The Legend of Heavenly Sword", they think that not only should they not feel Alexander now, but the producer of "Painted Skin" should feel Alexander, because "Painted Skin" has only been released for half a month, and there is still a lot of room for box office growth, but at this time, they encountered "The Legend of Heavenly Sword". "The Legend of Heavenly Sword" will definitely stop and sink the ship "Painted Skin"!

"Look at it, "Painted Skin" will definitely be sunk by "The Legend of Heavenly Sword", and then draw it in advance. I bet I'm not convinced. ”

"Is it a cut of the finger if you lose? If so, I'll argue! With such a strong performance of "Painted Skin", how could it be lost to "The Legend of Sword and Heaven"? ”

"Regardless of the box office results of "The Legend of Sword and Heaven", it no longer matters to "Painted Skin". Even if it is drawn in advance, "Painted Skin" is still a winner, because its cumulative box office has reached 636 million, only a few steps away from 700 million. But today is only the 26th, and there are still four days left before the release date of "The Legend of Sword and Heaven" on December 1, which means that as long as there is a box office of 64 million in 5 days, the total box office of "Painted Skin" can reach 700 million. Without a doubt, this is a very easy figure to reach, judging by the current box office performance. "Painted Skin" may only take two days. Let's take a look at the investment in "Painted Skin", the data released to the outside world is 200 million, but we know the urine nature of Lu Dao Film and Television Company, and with an investment of 20 or 30 million, he dares to tell you that he invested 100 million. Of course, because "Painted Skin" is a 3D movie, the star lineup is so strong, and the publicity is so overwhelming, so the investment of 200 million is watery. But it won't be too bad, estimated at around 150 million. According to the current box office share ratio. The producer can get about 40% of the total box office, and at 700 million, Rey Brothers and Red Star Media can get 280 million, which is almost twice the total investment! I haven't talked about the DVD market, the Internet market, and the overseas box office market here...... All things considered, "Painted Skin" is already a winner! ”

……

The post "Painted Skin is already a winner" was widely circulated on the Internet, further exacerbating the conflict and contrast between the two films "Painted Skin" and "The Legend of Sword and Heaven".

But. Everyone has to admit that "Painted Skin", which gave them too much subversion, is the winner!

Part of the truth also happened as the post speculated, in the six days from November 25th to November 30th, the box office of "Painted Skin" continued to rise, with 23 million, 20 million, 30 million, 18 million, 22 million, and 24 million impressive records to push the cumulative box office to 773 million!

Thereinto. November 21 to November 27 was the second week of "Painted Skin" in its second week, and the total box office of the week reached 195 million.

Compared with the box office in the first week, the data of 195 million is overshadowed, but for the box office of a film in the second week, this data is still worth affirming, which shows that the reputation of "Painted Skin" is not bad, and it is not the kind of bad film that makes money and leaves after a day or two of release.

Many movies are in full swing when they are promoted, and the box office on the first and second days of release is suddenly a mess, with the box office breaking 100 million on the first day and 80 or 90 million on the second day, but on the third day, the box office plummeted to 10 or 20 million, and then there was no more, and it was done in less than a week after it was released. This kind of movie is purely to make money, and you will leave after getting a vote, so the quality of the movie is not what the producer cares about at all, and the audience will only learn a lesson after being fooled once, and will spurn this kind of film floating in the clouds from now on.

Of course, compared with the kind of film that has been released for two or three weeks and the box office is still extremely strong, "Painted Skin" still loses in word-of-mouth, which also means that the quality of the film in the eyes of the audience loses.

The filmmaker's evaluation of the quality of the film and the audience's evaluation of the quality of the film are almost completely different things.

If filmmakers think the quality of the film is good, they will let the film win awards, and the more awards they win, the better the quality of the film.

If the audience thinks the film is of good quality, they will strongly recommend it to others to see it, and then they will go into the cinema again and again, and the box office of the film will last for a few weeks.

In the second week, there was a box office of nearly 200 million, which shows that the audience still recognizes the quality of "Painted Skin".

When I knew that this was the case, many people lost their voices, couldn't understand what was going on, and finally could only think: "The silent majority has played a role." ”

On Thursday, December 1, "The Legend of Heavenly Sword" was released on a large scale nationwide as scheduled.

Correspondingly, Stephen Zhao got a piece of news that made him depressed: "Major theaters have once again reduced the number of films scheduled for "Painted Skin"! ”

Since the beginning of the second week, seeing that the box office of "Painted Skin" is diving day by day, major theaters immediately began to reduce the number of films, and now it is the second adjustment.

Although Stephen Zhao expected it, he was still very unhappy. However, thinking of the theater is also based on his own interests, even if he is unhappy, he can't scold others, otherwise he will be messing around himself.

In the evening, Stephen Zhao took Qian Minli into the cinema again, the last time was to watch "Painted Skin", and this time it was to watch "The Legend of Heavenly Sword".

What's funny is that he regards "The Legend of Heavenly Sword" as the opponent of "Painted Skin", and he also knows the situation of Wang Baogang, Lin Yunfa, Zhao Ziyi and others, but he has never watched this film seriously.

"It is often said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, fortunately, this time they are allies with Wang Baogang, if it is an enemy, I think you don't know where to start if you want to deal with others." After Qian Minli learned about it, she immediately teased.

The IMAX3D auditorium was packed.

Soon after putting on the stereoscopic glasses, the screening of "The Legend of Sword and Heaven" began.

The first thing that appears is a gloomy background of the world, as if you have come to a demon-shrouded area, which has a magical feeling. Immediately afterwards, a swordsman wearing an ancient costume and carrying a long sword appeared in front of everyone, with a handsome face, a bee waist and ape back, looking like he was in his early twenties, a young knight.

"It's Han Bai!" Someone next to him whispered.

As soon as the young swordsman appeared, he immediately asked himself: "Where is this?" ”

Moments later, the camera replays that the young swordsman turned out to be a member of the army, because of a conflict with his boss, he ran away in a fit of rage, and stumbled into this strange area on the way to be hunted down.

Rumble......

Countless torches suddenly appeared in the originally gloomy area, followed by countless strange-shaped "people", or rather "evil demons".

It turns out that this gloomy region is the land of the Demon Cult!

The young knight was about to be killed by the evil demon, and a bright sword light suddenly lit up in the sky, and a handsome sword fairy descended from the sky, killed the evil demon, and then rescued the young knight.

The storyline has officially begun......

At this time, there was an exclamation in the theater, because the sword fairy who fell from the sky was actually the actor of "The Legend of Heavenly Sword and Legend", that is, the "God of Acting" Lin Yun-fat.

Stephen Zhao didn't say anything, just frowned and stared at the big screen, he was tasting this movie.

The more tasteful, the more frightened Stephen Zhao became, he had to admit that for the use of lenses, art design, special effects production, background music, etc., "The Legend of Heavenly Sword" is a level higher than "Painted Skin", this is an indisputable fact, who makes Wang Baogang's skills deeper than Chen Xin.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

"Wang Baogang is worthy of being Wang Baogang, even if his vitality has been greatly injured before, his skills are still there, and the quality of the film he shot is still very good." Stephen Zhao was impressed.

It's just that the more he looked down and watched it for more than half an hour, Stephen Zhao became confused, because although he understood it, he felt more and more that the storyline of the film was too messy. The army, the imperial court, the demon sect, the righteous path, the immortal city, ......, countless forces are intertwined, and the characters are also appearing one after another, and they are all starring some well-known stars, although they are magnificent and huge, but they are too tangled.

What made Stephen Zhao stand the most was that after the young chivalrous man played by Han Bai was rescued by the sword fairy played by Lin Yun-fat, he actually opened his mouth and begged the sword fairy to save the people in the world and avoid the misery of life.

Spicy next door, who do you kid think you are?

"Wang Baogang's filming, the main line of the film is to save the world? Can it be bloody again? Stephen Zhao was extremely speechless, he suddenly had a premonition that the fate of "The Legend of Heavenly Sword" might suffer.

However, on December 2, the first-day box office data of "The Legend of Sword and Heaven" almost blinded his eyes: 120 million! (To be continued......)
