Chapter 211: Breaking Myths and Creating Legends!
"The dark horse has suddenly appeared, and the low-cost campus love light comedy has achieved another success!"
"The Lunar New Year stalls are divided into two, and the Spring Festival stalls are rising!"
"The small-budget film "Youth Campus" supervised by Fang Ziheng premiered on February 1, with a box office of 2.3 million at 0:00, reproducing the miracle of a dark horse."
"The Spring Festival file is on the rise, and the youth-themed movie "Youth Campus" ignites the night of Chinese New Year's Eve."
"The three beauties with different personalities in "Youth Campus" dream back to their high school days, with humorous dialogues and down-to-earth operations, they attack towards beautiful love and compete for their own happiness."
"Three women compete for men, a common phenomenon in modern society, excellent boys do not worry about beautiful women, monks have more meat and less meat, men can only attract the joy of girls if they are strong themselves, in "Youth Campus", the male protagonist Zheng Kai, as an invincible academic bully, is naturally loved by the girls in the class."
At noon on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there was more news about "Youth Campus" on the Internet.
A zero box office of 2.3 million.
proved that the film's first shot was very successful, and Hengyu Media and Wanda Film and Television followed one after another to further strengthen the publicity and distribution of "Youth Campus".
Wanda Cinema Line directly gave 50% of the film schedule, and the major theaters also gave enough face under Fang Ziheng's contact, and the national film schedule of "Youth Campus" averaged 30%, which was 2 points more than the 28% of "New Shaolin Temple".
However, the box office on the first day will definitely not win "New Shaolin Temple", after all, there are two superstars Uncle Long and Brother Hua in charge.
In the last life, the release date of "New Shaolin Temple" was January 19, and the schedule was not good.
This time, in order to avoid "Edge of Tomorrow", the producers China Film and Emperor chose the release date on February 1, but they got a better schedule.
But that's the case, Dehua Lau has had a lot of bad movies over the years, which has exhausted his movie reputation.
Fans can mutter, buy tickets to the cinema to support, then you have to consider it.
Speaking of which, this kind of thing is very speechless.
As an evergreen tree in the music and film industry for decades, Dehua Lau wants to be popular, and he wants the people to have a national land, and he will stay on Douyin in later generations, and he has broken various records in just a few days.
But the movie he starred in was released, but it didn't get a high box office, and he was even beaten by an unknown movie.
Let's just say that this "New Shaolin Temple", Uncle Long, Liu Dehua, Xie Tingfeng, Fan Bingjie, Wu Jing and other starring, such a lineup is also a box office volume of five or six hundred million.
The result was good, the box office barely broke 200 million, and the loss was a mess.
In terms of box office appeal alone, Brother Hua is indeed a lot worse, whether it is fans or movie fans, it is one thing to like him, and it is another thing to spend money to watch bad movies for him all the time.
February 3rd, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
On this day of family reunion, the film market ushered in a new round of box office wars.
"Youth Campus"!
"New Shaolin Temple"!
"I Know a Woman's Heart"!
"Wonder Heroes"!
"Panda Story"!
Five new films were released one after another, and on this festive day, a frenzy of movie-watching was set off.
Spring Festival!
As the most festive day of the year, it is also the time period when the Chinese people are most willing to spend money.
Usually, ordinary people save money and buy all kinds of things during the New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, taking the family to the cinema to watch a movie has gradually become an entertainment trend.
Especially in the second- and third-tier cities and the prefecture-level cities below, as well as the county towns at the grassroots level, migrant workers have come back one after another, and every household is very lively.
Today this one treats people to sing, and tomorrow that one spends money to invite everyone to go to the movies, so there are not too many such situations.
The morning of the first day of the new year!
Yang Cheng, the boss of Yinghuang, got up early in the morning, first sent two New Year's greeting calls to the Hong Kong government and China Film Han Dong, and then sent people to send New Year's greeting posts to several major families on Hong Kong Island.
After flipping through the process, he came to the study and turned on the computer to check the box office situation of the Chinese New Year's Eve counted in the early hours of last night.
First place: "New Shaolin Temple" 23 million.
Second place: "Youth Campus" 21.5 million.
Third place: "Edge of Tomorrow" 13 million.
Fourth place: "I Know a Woman's Heart" 6.2 million.
Fifth place: "Panda Story" 5.9 million.
Fifth place: "Wonder Heroes" 5.15 million.
Gently glanced at the box office report, Yang Cheng's face was stunned, and it was much more ugly in an instant.
23 million!
Although "New Shaolin Temple" won the top of the single-day box office in the Chinese New Year's Eve, Yang Cheng was not happy at all.
Too little!
200 million production costs, an international superstar, a Chinese superstar, and four first-line stars, in exchange for such a bad first-day box office.
If it had been the year before last, no, there was such data at the beginning of 10 years last year, he would have been very happy and satisfied.
After a whole year of market development last year, under the bombardment of tens of millions of single-day box offices, the 20 million first-day box office has fallen behind and cannot be put on the table.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng looked at "Youth Campus" and "Edge of Tomorrow", which ranked third in the second year.
"I'll lose his mother!"
Yang Cheng's face darkened, and a sentence of national essence burst out of his mouth, and he closed the laptop with a click.
It's really more damned than people, and the goods should be thrown away.
The small cost of a 20 million production can even get a first-day box office of more than 20 million.
What's even more speechless is that "Edge of Tomorrow", which has been released for 30 days, has a single-day box office of 13 million.
Don't be so outrageous!
Is Fang Ziheng invincible?
Yang Cheng was drunk, lit a cigar, and smoked depressedly.
The other side.
After Wang Zhongjun finished breakfast, he also came to the study slowly, browsing the situation of the film market at the beginning of the year with great interest.
He has a reason to be relaxed, the market value of Huayi has reached a new high, and it is about to break the 30 billion mark.
The theme of Feng Pants' new film has been set, similar to "The Great Earthquake", adapted from Liu Zhenyun's "Reminiscences of 1942".
One is an earthquake disaster, and another is a natural famine disaster.
In addition, Feng Pants also promised to make a comedy with the strength of wine and continue to make money for Hua Yi.
However, this time Hua Yi couldn't eat alone, Feng Pants's studio wanted to give some share, and Song Ge of Wanda Film and Television also came to the door to seek cooperation.
Huayi has always been weak in theaters, Wanda Film and Television has the support of Wanda Cinemas, Wang Zhongjun is arrogant, and he has to pinch his nose and give up part of his interests in exchange for the full support of Wanda Cinemas.
Fang Ziheng has just gotten up.
During the Chinese New Year, Liu Qianqian, Zeng Li, Concubine Lin, Song Yi, and Da Mimi all went home to accompany their parents.
He was alone, alone in the empty room.
He also happens to be rarely idle, sleeping until he wakes up naturally every day, and sits leisurely and steadily on the Diaoyutai.
………
The next day, "Youth Campus" won 30 million box office, surpassing "New Shaolin Temple" to win the single-day box office list.
It was on this day that "Edge of Tomorrow" broke through the 1.2 billion soft girl coin mark.
February 4, 2011, the second day of the first lunar month.
"Edge of Tomorrow" was released for 33 days, with a total box office of 1.2097 billion soft girl coins!
1.2 billion news landed on Weibo hot search, and when people were surfing the Internet to discuss the Spring Festival Gala and New Year's Eve interesting events, they realized that "Edge of Tomorrow" was back.
"Damn, I thought "Edge of Tomorrow" was drawn, but I didn't expect it to be released."
"Dude, what do you want, "Edge of Tomorrow" will be released on January 2, and it has only been 33 days until today, so let's draw a hair!"
"Haha, I've almost forgotten about the New Year these days, I used to discuss with my friends when "Edge of Tomorrow" can break the record of "Avatar", but I didn't expect it to break through 1.2 billion without making a sound, awesome!"
"1.2 billion in 33 days, the movie must have gotten the key, and it is indeed very promising to surpass "Avatar", come on!"
"Break through 1.3 billion and overturn "Avatar"!"
""Edge of Tomorrow" flies and regains the box office champion in mainland film history that belongs to our Chinese!"
As if under some kind of magic, "Edge of Tomorrow" continued to stabilize its single-day box office in the next few days.
No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, No. 8, No. 9, No. 10, the single-day box office has exceeded 10 million in a row, and the total box office in the mainland is as high as 1.287 billion!
Released for 39 days, 1.287 billion!
is 52 million short of "Avatar" of 1.339 billion!
And "Youth Campus" broke 25 million in a single day for eight consecutive days during the entire Spring Festival holiday, from the first day to the eighth day of the new year.
Counting the 21.5 million on the first day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the total box office of "Youth Campus" reached an astonishing 230 million.
Compared with the release on the same day, "New Shaolin Temple", which had a box office of 160 million in 9 days, was 70 million more.
Among other movies released in the same period, "I Know a Woman's Heart" got 48 million in 10 days. "Wonder Heroes" 42 million in 10 days, and "Panda Story" 37 million in 8 days.
It's all like a weak chicken!
It is basically certain that the weak follow-up "Edge of Tomorrow" followed the popular "Youth Campus", and the two movies became the biggest winners of the Spring Festival in 2011.
Especially "Edge of Tomorrow", it was not enough to eat the New Year's stalls, and it also bit off a large part of the dividends of the first few days of the Spring Festival.
February 18th.
"Edge of Tomorrow" held a grand celebration banquet at the Wanda Hotel in the imperial capital.
The banquet was hosted by Hengyu Media and China Film Group, planned by Bona Films, and organized by Bona Films and Wanda Film and Television.
Early in the morning, the major entertainment media were busy.
They split into two groups, one wave led by a veteran and heavy reporter, and happily went to the Wanda Hotel.
A wave of editors-in-chief personally stared at and instructed the staff with good writing to edit the copy.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the flowery advertorials kept uploading to the Internet as if they didn't want money.
"The total box office is 1.346 billion! Surpassing "Avatar", "Edge of Tomorrow" lived up to expectations and topped the box office champion in the history of the mainland film market. ”
"Break the myth and create a box office legend in film history! Fang Ziheng, the youngest Chinese director, won the box office record in mainland film history with "Edge of Tomorrow" with his genius-like concept, becoming the undisputed No. 1 commercial director. ”
""Edge of Tomorrow" dominated the two schedules of the Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival, surpassing the Hollywood blockbuster "Avatar" with a total box office of 1.346 billion, completing the historic miracle counterattack in Chinese film history."
"Four steps in three years, "Nobody" broke 200 million, "Detective Chinatown" broke 600 million, "Four Famous Catches" broke 800 million, and "Edge of Tomorrow" broke 1.3 billion, who can resist Fang Ziheng's pace!!"
"9 years ago, during the Chinese New Year, a "Hero" broke through time and space, opened the blockbuster era of Chinese films, and inspired the transformation and exploration from literary films to commercial films.
Since that day, commercial films have been crisscrossing the wilderness, and the box office of the movies has broken through one after another with the take-off of China's economy, with 100 million, 200 million, 300 million, 500 million, and 800 million.
Nine years have passed.
When "Edge of Tomorrow" surpassed "Avatar" to regain the box office champion in the history of Chinese films, the mainland film market ushered in a new era.
1.346 billion!
Fang Ziheng, the only one on the throne of the clouds! ”
All the entertainment media are reporting frantically, and many mainstream media are also following the stage to participate in this carnival feast.
Netizens who were wandering around instantly climaxed after seeing the news, and countless fans who had watched the movie flocked to them.
"I'm going to go, and I really broke the record of "Avatar"!"
"Ahhh
"I can't believe it, 1.346 billion, just like that!"
", "Edge of Tomorrow" is awesome!"
"Fang Ziheng, Niu Potian (Broken Sound)~"
Although everyone had been expecting all the anticipation, when the real box office data was in front of them, everyone was stupid and excited.
Especially the insiders in the film industry, staring at the record-breaking news of "Edge of Tomorrow", they were both excited and emotional.
A year ago, "Avatar" swept the world with an unrivaled attitude, giving a shining slap in the face to the newly emerging Chinese films.
For a whole year, the Chinese film market seemed to be covered with dark clouds.
No matter how movies come on, they bombarded the box office in major theaters across the country, but they never touched the corner of "Avatar".
Even if the summer box office champion "The Four Famous Catches" sold well in the overseas film market, continuing the channel of exporting Chinese films to the outside world.
However, "The Four Famous Catches" only barely exceeded 800 million at the box office, which is 500 million away from the 1.339 billion of "Avatar".
"Avatar" has always been like an unclimbable mountain, in the hearts of Chinese filmmakers.
It wasn't until "Edge of Tomorrow" was born and became a global explosion after its release, and when the mainland market continued to harvest at a box office trend that was not weaker than that of "Avatar", Chinese films had a glimmer of hope.
In those days, the first thing that countless people get up every day is to check the box office situation of "Edge of Tomorrow" on the Internet and wonder what the trend is.
Lucky.
The sky does not live up to China, and it lives up to the Chinese film market!
"Edge of Tomorrow" slashed the moon and pushed all the way, facing Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", Feng Pants's "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" did not hesitate at all, and faced hard steel.
The trend of the box office is also like the Chinese soldiers in the movie, fearless and courageous, step by step to 800 million, promoted to 1 billion, and broke 1.2 billion.
In the end, with a total box office of 1.346 billion, it surpassed "Avatar" with 1.339 billion.
Many people in the industry who received the invitation changed into new and decent clothes and came to Wanda Hotel with joy.
In the flashing lights, everyone greeted familiar people with a happy New Year, and walked into the hotel hall No. 1 with a smile on their faces.
When the guests walked into the No. 1 gate, they saw Fang Ziheng wearing a neat black suit, standing among the bosses of film and television companies and celebrities.
Handsome and chic, outstanding!
Like the brightest superstar character!
No matter how bright the stars are around him, and the female stars compete for flowers, no one can steal his glorious style.
Every guest who was invited couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene, and secretly praised them in their hearts.
Fang Ziheng!
This young man, who has just reached the age of 24, is indeed the most talented filmmaker in Chinese films.
