Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Perfect Stepping Stone (part 3 of 4.)
49 million on the first day... In fact, it is not particularly high, several movies this year, especially the movies that broke one billion, were all above 70 million on the first day...
The original time and space, it is even more miserable - in the same schedule, there are "Hong Kong Embarrassment", "Rescue Mr. Wu", "Nine-story Demon Tower"...
The box office on the first day seems to have not reached 25 million.
It's all about word-of-mouth counterattack...
If you have a good memory, you should remember that the original "Charlotte Troubles" was released for three days, click on the first page of the short review area, and there is only one negative review.
Is this normal? Isn't that good?
No, in addition to the good word-of-mouth, it also means that even the regular naval shootout between blockbusters of the same period bypasses it - no one sees it as an opponent, no one sees it as a threat.
In those years, the weight of those things outside of the quality of the film far exceeded the quality of the film itself.
Of course, it is unlikely that it will sink directly - "Charlotte" has the support of Wanda, including Wuzhou Distribution, behind which Wanda Cinema's film schedule has not been less than 20% from the beginning...
This time, it's pretty much the same!
Golden Harvest Cinemas includes the four major theaters of Dadi, Hengdian and Jinyi, with almost 70% of the golden performances ranking "Charlotte's Troubles", and the other 30% has to draw 20% to Andy Lau's "Storm" and "The Four Famous Catches 2"...
The light may feel that there are no costume films in this year's Lunar New Year file, which is a good opportunity.
It's true, but you can't stand Chen Jiashang... It sucks...
"The Four Famous Catches 2" is clearly used to make money,...
After "Painted Skin", Chen Jiashang swelled and degenerated, and the trilogy of "Painted Wall" and "Four Famous Catches" made him step by step into the team of "bad movie directors".
However, compared with Liu Weiqiang, who is mired in the quagmire of "bad movies", Chen Jiashang's situation is better, and 2017's "Swinging Storm" can be regarded as saving some face for Chen Jiashang.
Liu Weiqiang is really a bad movie maker - after going north, there is no masterpiece, even if it is "Chinese Captain", watching the prototype documentary is even more shocking, "Chinese Doctor"... It's really, such a good subject matter, such a good story, it's so badly filmed, it's reduced to reportage!
Speaking of "Charlotte", the word-of-mouth is bursting, with a Douban score of 8.4 points...
"I've seen the best Chinese comedy in recent years, the line is clear, the characters are used to their fullest, the baggage is intensive, and the whole is very in place. Draw a reality, and then use a dream to heal yourself, so that the audience can laugh in a very pure crossing, appreciate life, and feel the preciousness of love. This domestic comedy is not advanced, but it is decent. ”
"The baggage of the jokes is so dense that it is simply breathtaking, and the witty remarks make people laugh. "Charlotte" is simply a miracle in domestic comedy, the laughter is naturally not pretentious, and a wave of music is still evocative, and it has locked in the best domestic comedy of the year. ”
"No wonder Shen Xudong is so stable, and even let Maoyan mark 'witness the birth of domestic comedy box office records' in advance, "Charlotte" will definitely exceed 1 billion!"
……
"In the first four days, 335 million... How much do you estimate the total box office will be? ”
“… 1.5 billion can't be beaten! ”
company, Shen Xudong came to work very rarely-well, mainly made an appointment with Ning Hao and Ge You, they hadn't come yet, Chen Xi came over and took the initiative to chat with Shen Xudong about "Charlotte's Troubles"...
"Then I'll see you... Don't seem to be very happy? ”
Shen Xudong sighed: "I'm so happy, I didn't see a group of people say anything 'The entry threshold for online dramas is low, the censorship is too relaxed, and the subject matter is not restricted, and in the long run, it will bring about a deviation from public values and cause adverse effects, which is "bad money drives out good money." '..."
Hearing this, Chen Xi also had a bitter face: "... This can't be helped, who made "Three Kingdoms" so influential..."
“… I don't know how long the flag of national dramas going to sea can be waved... It is still necessary to expand the overseas market as soon as possible, so that only the overseas market can make a drama with an investment of more than 100 million yuan pay off..."
Although I know that behind these people are actually the major platforms, but... The review is not uniform, and it is indeed a problem!
But... Online dramas are different from star dramas!
Being on the star means that the audience is wider, so the censorship is stricter, and online dramas are mainly for netizens, the average age of our netizens is 10-39 years old, accounting for 79.2%...
Why is there a requirement for consistency?
Belch... Easy to manage...
Pulling it back, Shen Xudong scratched his head: "This matter depends on Mr. Gao... By the way, "Charlotte" was 335 million in the first week, what about Andy Lau's movie? ”
"It seems to be over 100 million... Let me see. ”
While speaking, he took out his mobile phone and clicked on the Maoyan APP: "Well, the cumulative box office in the four days of release is 102 million, and today's film schedule... Yo, there are 16%, more than 18,000..."
"It's basically a morning game and a night game, so I can't set off many big waves!"
“… I feel that Hong Kong films are sad now that they are 200 million..."
"Not necessarily, look at the schedule and quality, after all, there are still many Hong Kong film fans..."
Until 2023, the aura of Hong Kong films will completely fall!
- "Don't Call Me the God of Gamblers", with a box office of 40 million in the mainland;
"Anti-Drug 3", "Assassination Storm" including "Moscow Operation"...
The box office is actually not good...
can't beat the movies of the same schedule at all - the salient characteristics of this generation of domestic directors are: everything looks at the market, everything looks at money, does not consider the European and American markets, does not consider any bullshit awards, what movies the Chinese people like to watch, they make any movies, they know very well that as long as the Chinese people are served well, the silver ticket will be greatly dripping~
On the other hand, Hong Kong movies...
The final outcome of Hong Kong films is basically the same as that of Taiwanese films, with individual talents siphoning the development of the mainland, and only small-budget literary films and genre films with certain themes are left in the mainland, filling the gaps that are not available in mainland pop culture due to restrictions.
In another three to five years, there will be no more Hong Kong commercial films in the mainland market, and there will be almost no co-productions, completely becoming a Chinese-language film in the new era...
In this regard, Chow Yun-fat also said, "The biggest competitiveness of Korean films lies in their creative freedom and rich materials!" ’…
Aren't Hong Kong films free enough?
It's really worthy of Hollywood's gilded back - although Korean films have lost everything, they have gained freedom!
Restricted to create?
Hong Kong doesn't accept it, right?
In the local market of Hong Kong, who has won the Hong Kong film?
If you don't have the ability, you say you don't have the ability!
What are the creative limitations?
Tsk, 5.6 billion fruit donations?
An iron rooster who never plucked a dime during his life said that he would donate all his property after death, and the humor was no less than that of the boss who refused to give you a raise, saying that he could give you the company after death!
"By the way, the premiere of "Private Custom" on the evening of the 18th sent us an invitation, do you want to go?"
"Go, perfect stepping stone, why not?"
"Tsk..."Chen Xi suddenly laughed: "Last year's "1942" made "Thai Embarrassment" and "One Shot to the End" famous, and this year's "Private Custom" helped "Charlotte's Troubles" become famous... Have you discussed it with Director Feng? ”
