In the last three days of the year, "The Way to Steal the Key" received 12 million, 11 million and 11.5 million box office respectively, although the single-day box office is still at the bottom of the three movies, but at this time, the gap between it and the other two movies has narrowed from four or five million behind in a single day to only one or two million behind.

Then it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It was also on this day that "The King of Kung Fu" was finally cut down by Xing Ye's "Yangtze River No. 7" after winning the single-day box office championship for seven consecutive days.

New Year's Day.

"Yangtze River No. 7" 14 million, "The King of Kung Fu" 13 million, "How to Steal the Key" 12 million.

The second day of the Lunar New Year.

"Yangtze River No. 7" 13 million, "The King of Kung Fu" 10 million, "How to Steal the Key" 12 million.

The third day of the Lunar New Year.

"Yangtze River No. 7" 12 million, "The King of Kung Fu" 9 million, "How to Steal the Key" 13 million.

Ten days after the movie's release, "The Way to Steal the Key" finally topped the single-day box office.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the spokesperson of China Film Group revealed the latest box office data of the three films when answering questions from reporters.

And then the whole thing is completely crazy.

"I feel sorry for the star, and finally drove "The King of Kung Fu" from the box office champion on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but before his ass was hot, he was immediately overtaken by "How to Steal the Keys".

"Anyway, I don't feel sorry at all, I only feel sorry for my own ticket money. Everyone bought tickets to go to the theater to watch nonsensical comedies, but the star only showed us this?!"

"To be honest, more than anyone else, I hope that 'The Way to Steal the Key' will get a good box office, but I didn't expect this movie to win the single-day box office? won the box office championship under the attack of Cheng Long, Li Lian and Xing Ye?! What kind of anti-heaven operation is this! Now someone in TM has told me that the total box office of this movie can surpass "Yangtze River No. 7" and "The King of Kung Fu", and I am starting to believe it!"

"It's really unthinkable that the difference in investment between the three films is too big! The success of "How to Steal the Key" is nothing short of a myth!"

"I just checked, "Yangtze River No. 7" invested 150 million, "The King of Kung Fu" invested more than 400 million, and "The Way to Steal the Key" only invested 10 million! Even if you add 5 million publicity and distribution expenses, the total cost of this movie is only 15 million! 15 million beats 150 million or even 400 million!"

"Damn, what a mud horse Li Mu is against the sky! make sci-fi blockbusters, which are global hits, shoot small-budget comedies, and beat domestic blockbusters; wrote, sold 50 million copies worldwide; Writing songs - Has anyone heard the road to "Ordinary Road" sung by Li Mu at the premiere? I cried!"

"If this mud horse wins the Spring Festival championship in "The Way to Steal the Key", where do you put the faces of the other two movies?"

"Where is love going, where is it going! When they fool the audience, why don't they want to think about where to put their faces today? Don't think you're smart, you fool this and that, and sooner or later you will find out that you are being fooled."

"I also hope that a sincere work like "How to Steal the Key" can get a high box office, but at the same time, I don't want the other two films to lose money, if everyone goes to make small budgets, then who will make blockbusters? Then the Chinese film market will be really crippled."

"I'm not worried about this, other people like to shoot or not, Li Muken can shoot it. No matter how much investment someone makes, they can only make "Wuji" and "The King of Kung Fu", Li Mu shot "Hurricane Rescue", "Assassin" and "Super Body", and others are also called blockbusters? Someone else deserves to make a blockbuster movie?" ….

"Inception looks like it's about to start, right? $120 million investment! Something against the sky, look forward to it!"

……

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, China Film announced the latest box office data.

"The King of Kung Fu" has a total box office of 168 million, and the single-day box office has dropped to 5 million, "Yangtze River No. 7" has a total box office of 162 million, and a single-day box office of 8 million, and "The Way to Steal the Key" has a total box office of 161 million, with a single-day box office of 9 million.

At this point, anyone can see that the box office champion of the "Spring Festival stall" is no longer "Stealing the Key".

The method of the spoon is none other than that!

According to the prediction of China Film, the final box office of "The Method of Stealing the Key" should be about 220 million, "Yangtze River No. 7" is about 200 million, and "The King of Kung Fu" is about 180 million.

The movie with a total cost of 15 million defeated "Yangtze River No. 7" with a total cost of 150 million and "The King of Kung Fu" with a total cost of more than 400 million, and the entire Chinese film industry was in an uproar.

The movie directed by Li Mu himself is a box office hit, he is a genius, he is awesome, he is amazing, we all admit it!

But Li Mu only wrote a script and then found someone else to direct it, but it turned out to be so awesome? If he writes ten or eight scripts next year, and then finds ten or eight directors to shoot them, will there be other places in the Chinese film industry?

Suddenly, I felt that Li Mu was a little terrifying.

If anyone's movie collides with Li Mu in the future, it will be Mali's reschedule!

At the same time, with the box office explosion of "The Way to Steal the Key", the three leading actors, Shen Teng, Huang Bo and Gao Yuanyuan, have clearly felt that their coffee positions are improving dramatically.

Gao Yuanyuan felt this the most.

Before the movie was released, she was talking to a company about the endorsement fee, at that time, the company offered a price of 900,000 every two years, Gao Yuanyuan wanted to talk about 1 million, and Gao Yuanyuan's agent persuaded her to take the endorsement, according to the agent, the price code offered by the other party was already quite kind.

As a result, just one month later, Gao Yuanyuan's endorsement fee has soared to three million yuan every two years!

Of course, the company that offers this price is not the same as the company that offers 900,000 yuan every two years, but the fact that a more well-known company has come to the door shows that Gao Yuanyuan's commercial value has increased dramatically.

Overnight, the endorsement fee soared threefold!

To tell the truth, Gao Yuanyuan has not been popular, but she has never encountered such a thing as a sudden tripling of her value after a work.

But the agent's subsequent words made her immediately suffer from gains and losses.

"This movie should make Yuanyuan you popular for a year or two, let's seize the high point of popularity to receive more endorsements, more notices, and more film appointments, and strive to maximize the popularity of this period of time into income, an actor will never encounter a few such opportunities in his life, it would be a pity if he missed it."

The agent's words, in the ears of Gao Yuanyuan, there was almost the sentence "An actor will never encounter such opportunities a few times in his life", and she was poured cold water on the head by the agent.

Why is it so difficult to have such opportunities in the future?

Half of Li Mu's movies in Hollywood have to come to China for auditions, why does he have to use himself again and again?

I heard that even Zhang Ziyi wanted to act in Li Mu's movie and wanted to go crazy, but Li Mu was stunned and didn't give it a chance.

Even Zhang Ziyi couldn't ask for it, why could she Gao Yuanyuan always be favored by Li Mu? ….

……

To tell the truth, the overseas results of "The King of Kung Fu" are not bad.

3,200 theaters in North America opened, with a box office of $9 million on the first day and $23 million for three days on the first weekend, winning the box office first on the day and the first weekend of the North American film box office.

But I'm afraid of comparison.

"Assassin", also starring Cheng Long and Li Lian, grossed $15 million on the first day in North America, a total box office of $130 million in North America, and a total global box office of over $300 million.

The gap is just too big.

Even Li Lianhua, who has little international influence, single-handedly led the work, and "Super Body" grossed $14 million on the first day in North America, and the global box office also exceeded $300 million.

The overseas box office of "The King of Kung Fu" is not yet known, but even the most optimistic estimates do not exceed $60 million.

$60 million vs. $300 million, the huge gap makes the already good results seem not so good.

Not to mention the negative news that is everywhere in the media and online.

"The King of Kung Fu? The king of bad movies—— the king of kung fu."

"The King of Kung Fu - a very unreliable martial arts

film (The King of Kung Fu) movie review."

"'The King of Kung Fu' is a bad movie?" It's comparable, "Boundless"!"

"The King of Kung Fu is so bad that it's unimaginable!"

"The King of Kung Fu - Fighter in the Trash!"

"The box office was overtaken by "The Method of Stealing the Key" and "Yangtze River No. 7", and the fig leaf of "The King of Kung Fu" was completely torn off."

"The King of Kung Fu: Nine Deficiencies Prove Hollywood's Failure."

In the face of overwhelming negative comments, the fans of Cheng Long and Li Lian couldn't hold back, and everyone called on Cheng Long and Li Lian on various platforms to be cautious when taking the script in the future.

"I've been a fan of Cheng Long for more than 20 years, and this time I'm really breaking my defense. To be fair, "The King of Kung Fu" is not as bad as the media scolded, at least the action design is very good, but what are you going to enter the theater this time? It's a theater that runs to Cheng Long and Li's connection again! It's a theater in anticipation of watching "Assassin" again! As a result, you show this to the fans? An American teenager wants Yin's journey to Chinese culture and Chinese kung fu?"

"Please, Uncle Long, can we be more cautious when we take on the film in the future? I really can't afford to be sad, and suddenly I don't look forward to Uncle Long's next movie."

"Let's take as many movies as possible from Li Mu in the future, and find that almost all of Uncle Long's best movies in recent years have Li Mu's shadow behind them."

"In other words, Li Mu's script can really be taken with his eyes closed, just looking at the introduction, "Super Body" is undoubtedly a bad movie no matter how you look at it, but do you look at the final shooting effect? It's just beautiful against the sky! Just looking at the name and synopsis of "The King of Kung Fu", I think it should be good, but the result is ......."

"Why didn't Li Mu invite Uncle Long to play "Inception"? Don't say that the protagonist in the original book is white, the original work was written by Li Mu, who can stop him if he wants to change? Could it be that the relationship between Li Mu and Uncle Long is not as good as the outside world rumores!"

"No matter how good the relationship is, you can't invite Uncle Long to every movie, right? Besides, I think Tom Hanks is definitely the best choice to play "Inception", and Li Mu is still very good at casting."

"Actually, I also understand the reason, I just really want to see the works of Li Mu and Uncle Long." ….

"Looking forward to it, there are also works that Li Mu and Li Lian collaborated on."

"Why didn't anyone mention me Brother Hua? I look forward to Li Mu finding Brother Hua to make a movie."

"Don't I lose face? What's wrong with Fa Ge? Can Li Mu also ask Fa Ge to make an international blockbuster?"

In the face of a large number of doubts in the media, Cheng Long said in an interview with reporters:

"In fact, "The King of Kung Fu" is a movie for Americans, it is normal for Chinese people not to like it very much, Chinese people and Americans have very different tastes in movies, it is very difficult to make a movie that audiences in both countries like, so many years I have seen the best person who can balance the differences between the two sides, only Li Mu, no one else, only Li Mu's works, wow, Americans like it very much, we Chinese people also love him to death."

"Indeed, Li Mu's work is very popular internationally." The reporter took the opportunity to ask, "Can Brother Cheng Long reveal when the next time he will cooperate with Li Mu?"

Cheng Long said with a smile: "It should be soon, in fact, the movie has already begun to prepare, some time ago Li Mu said on TV that his company will make two blockbusters next, one with an investment of 120 million US dollars, which is "Inception" that will be launched immediately, and the other with an investment of 80 million US dollars, this is the new movie we are working on."

……

On February 14, Li Mu called Shen Junsheng to his office.

"The Way to Steal the Key" was a big win at the box office, and Li Mu was happy, so he ordered to go down and wrap a red envelope for the relevant heroes.

Among them, the largest red envelope was naturally distributed to the tool director Shen Junsheng, although the success of the movie is inseparable from a solid script, but Shen Junsheng, as a director, made a movie that can be caught between two blockbusters with such an ungodly achievement, his credit and ability are Li Mu can not ignore no matter what.

In addition to the director, the cast and crew and actors also have red envelopes, which are big and small, but everyone has them.

Li Mu also in terms of sharing benefits

It's very kind.

Small victories rely on wisdom, and big victories rely on virtue.

If you care about money, you will definitely not become a very rich person.

Occasionally, a few scheming people become extremely rich, and that is blind, and in terms of regularity, it can only be obtained by giving.

With a big mind and knowing how to share, the more friends you make, the more ways to do business, the more opportunities you get, and people have the opportunity to make money and are willing to ask you to participate, because you know that you will not treat others badly, and the possibility of success is greater.

All of the above are what Jianlin said, but Li Mu feels that there is some truth.

"I came to you today to talk about the new movie." Li Mu looked at Shen Junsheng, who had gained a lot of weight, and said.

"New movie? Mr. Li, do you have a new script again? I'm fine, the project can be started at any time." Shen Junsheng's eyes lit up and said.

The huge success of "The Way to Steal the Key" has doubled Shen Junsheng's confidence, and now he is not the Shen Junsheng who shrank when he saw that the script was too good, for fear that his lack of ability would ruin a good script.

Li Mu smiled and handed over a notebook and said:

"Strive to release it during the Spring Festival next year."

"Certainly, Mr. Li, don't worry." Shen Junsheng took the script with a grin.

At the beginning, I felt that this script was very thin, not ordinarily thin, as if there were only a few pages in total.

Shen Junsheng turned to the first page in some surprise, his eyes swept on the paper, and the four big characters in the title of the book immediately came into view-people are embarrassed.

Below the title is a synopsis of the story, which Shen Junsheng quickly scanned, and then turned to the next page with anticipation.

Then he froze.

I saw that the second page of the script was empty, and there was not even a word.

Page 3, page 4, page 5, again, there is not a word.

Page 6 - There is no page 6, the script is only five pages long.

"Mr. Li?" Shen Junsheng was surprised.

Li Mu smiled, "The synopsis of the story has been handed over to you, and at the same time, the task of perfecting the script has been handed over to you. I want to continue to find Shen Teng and Wang Baoqiang to play this script, and you can write the script yourself according to the characteristics of these two people."

"I'll write?" Shen Junsheng was a little weak-hearted.

Li Mu smiled: "Yes, you write it, I will check it, and send it to me after the script is completed."

Extraordinary ordinary
