Why step on "Wounded City"?

Because the box office of "Wounded City" in the first weekend was only less than 20 million...

On the 22nd ~ 25th, "Wounded City" and "Golden Armor" and "Manslaughter" launched a frontal "competition",

The box office of "Golden Armor" is more than twice that of "Wounded City".

Among them, the gap between the two films of BJ New Film Association Cinema is the largest, 9.1 million and 1.9 million respectively, and the Chinese Film Star Art Cinema is 6.3 million and 1.7 million respectively.

The gap between the two films in Shanghai and Guangdong is relatively small, with the three-day box office of Shanghai Lianhe Cinema Line being 5.9 million and 2.37 million respectively, and the cumulative box office of China Film Southern Shinkansen and Zhujiang Cinema Line being about 8.5 million and 3.76 million respectively.

Oh, and the report doesn't mention Manslaughter...

But the company received news here: "Manslaughter" was released on the third weekend, and the box office still had 9 million...

In other words, the actual attendance rate of "Manslaughter" is higher than that of "Wounded City"!

In fact, in terms of movie discussion, the discussion of the movie "Wounded City" is the lowest...

Because this movie... It's very bold, it belongs to suspenseful reasoning + literature!

As the last work of the Iron Triangle: Liu Weiqiang, Zhuang Wenqiang, and Mak Zhaohui, "Wounded City" is their last collaboration.

Because I was about to say goodbye, I wanted to do a lot of things. Everyone wants to make this work a success and a great success.

So, stuffed a bunch of stuff ...

I want literature and art, I want suspense, and I want classics...

How can it be classic?

followed the path of "Infernal Affairs" to make a literary romance film...

"Wounded City" describes love and marriage as a city of infernal purgatory, where the past is repeatedly tormented by pain, and Buddhism persuades people to let go and forget the pain of hatred in order to get out of the wounded city...

This kind of core idea is placed here, which leads to the over-exertion of "Wounded City" and is destined to be niche!

It's inexplicable...

How to pull and pedal?

It's very simple, when you promote it, label it as a literary film!

If a movie is labeled as 'literary and artistic', it will immediately dispel the idea of buying tickets for most audiences...

The audience was hurt by the literary film.

Art films are not "mass films", they are not based on catering to the mainstream tastes of the audience, which means that 'it is not good'!

Decades of deep-seated prejudices that are hard to change...

Why not for Golden Armor?

The reputation of "Golden Armor" is very bad.

According to the opinions of many experts in the media: the movie has nothing to praise except for the grand scenes, gorgeous costumes, and the golden palace atmosphere on the screen.

Wang Shuo even said, 'Zhang Yi is a decorator!' ’

Netizens commented, 'I patronized and looked at the costumes, but I didn't remember anything else!' ’

Someone at the bottom directly retorted: 'Return the clothes, directly point, chest'

'The city is full of white steamed buns! ’

After watching this movie, I vowed never to watch a domestic movie again! ’

But it did sell out...

And it's the kind of fault that sells - 92 million in the first four days, 97 million in the second week...

Under the premise of high popularity and blockbuster movies, theaters will not downgrade their film schedules.

So... Focus on suppressing the film schedule of "Wounded City"...

……

The effect is quite good, with the release of a large number of drafts - I found many well-known people in the film industry to praise "Wounded City": a literary film that is not obscure...

Basically revolves around 'Compared with the gorgeous and grand narrative layout of Infernal Affairs, the story of the Wounded City is not complicated, and it is not even important. ’

[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]

Loss and dislocation are the themes of this film. ’

''Wounded City, 'Chongqing Forest's version of 'Infernal Affairs'...

Well, it's held high!

The so-called well-known in the film industry is actually a film critic, a planner, and a person with a status in the rivers and lakes...

The effect is obvious, after "Wounded City" was labeled as a literary film, the distributor of "Manslaughter" discussed with the theater chain to increase the film schedule, and it went much smoother!

With the rise of film scheduling, the box office of "Manslaughter" also ushered in a short-term recovery.

But... It's just a short time, because the film "Manslaughter" has been released for more than 20 days, and piracy is everywhere, on the Internet, a casual search is high-definition piracy...

This affects the box office too much...

Pirated copies can be found everywhere on the Internet, how can the audience buy tickets to see it?

According to estimates, it is 170 million at most!

The vacant film schedule of "Wounded City"... stepped on the horse, cheapened a new film "Big Movie"...

It's not cheap, because the "Big Movie" company also has investment - written by Ning Caishen, starring Huang Bo...

The company invested 2 million, accounting for half of the investment - helping to pull 4 million advertising sponsorships.

"The Big Movie", a pure spoof...

Spoofed "Daisy", "In the Mood for Love", "Infernal Affairs", "Ghost Love", "Please Close Your Eyes When It's Dark", "Kung Fu", "Ambush on All Sides", "Brokeback Mountain", "Wuji", "My Savage Girlfriend", "Shaolin Football"...

But the story line is still quite complete, and the film talks about the things that Chinese care about most, the house.

There is a classic line in it: 'Sick, glorious!' If you can't bear it, you will take medicine, if you really can't do it, you will hang yourself, I insist on a point of view, that is, you can't let all the people afford to get sick. ’

It is aimed at the real estate developer Jiang Zhiqiang's paragraph, 'I insist on a point of view, don't let all the people buy a house!' ’

Actually, Ning Caishen's movie scripts are not bad. In "Big Movie", he found a contradiction of great practical significance, and used the conflicts of all parties to construct problems. And some of the dialogues are well written.

Including "Laughing Jianghu", his original intention was to deconstruct Jin Yong and deconstruct martial arts...

One of these two books met director Forrest Gump, and the other met Zhu Yanping...

"The Big Movie"... It's ridiculous, the box office is good, and later I filmed the second part - "Big Movie 2.0: The Absurdity of Two Fools", without the blessing of Ning Caishen's screenwriter, this film has a good reputation, and the box office pulls the crotch in all directions...

As for the other "Laughing Jianghu", after its release anyway, Ning Caishen announced that he would no longer be a movie screenwriter.

Well, enough to be hit...

Pull it back, the box office of "Big Movie" in the first weekend of 6.8 million...

Three days on New Year's Day, I got 21% of the film schedule...

……

Many people don't know that before digital hard disk copies, it is difficult for our movies to be released simultaneously!

In the era when film films were the mainstream, because it was impossible to accurately estimate the actual number of film copies, and considering the high production cost of film copies, some distributors adopted a conservative approach, generally implementing first, second or even third rounds of screening.

The limited number of copies of film films was limited and cinemas in large cities with good screening conditions and high box office receipts were shown first, then in medium-sized city cinemas, and finally in smaller city cinemas.

This kind of sequential round of screenings has seriously affected the enthusiasm of moviegoers in small and medium-sized cities, making the audience feel that this kind of movie is like someone else's leftovers...

But there is no way, the cost of a film copy is about seven or eight thousand yuan, and the other is that a 35 mm film copy weighs forty or fifty pounds, and the transportation cost is also very high...

Therefore, at this stage, generally speaking, except for blockbusters that attract national attention, most films are screened in the first, second or even third rounds.

"Manslaughter"... It's barely a blockbuster, after all, 700 copies were made!

But... Many small cities still do not have copies.

New Year's Day has arrived, and "Manslaughter" has also been screened in big cities and central cities, and the position has shifted to small cities...

That is, the second round of screenings.

Although the box office is small, the map is huge, and it adds up to a very impressive amount.

On January 12th, "Manslaughter" was fully drawn, and the box office data was firmly fixed at 178 million, the third of the year, second to "Golden Armor" (240 million) and "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" (207 million)...

The box office in other cities is very good, "Carol" was released, Gong Li's popularity is high, and the quality of "Manslaughter" itself is not bad, and the box office in other cities is close to 90 million yuan, which mainly refers to the box office in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan...

South Korea and Japan have not yet scheduled to be released...

In Europe, MK2 is in theaters and has a decent box office.
