The box office of "Living Together in Time and Space" exceeded 100 million on the first day, and the shock to the domestic film market was still quite big, which movie did Li Mu start with? The vast majority of Chinese people can say the name of "Hurricane Rescue" without thinking.

Encyclopedia information, in 2004, Li Mu, who had just graduated from college, met Cheng Long who went to Xijing to film, and Li Mu, an unemployed young man with a dream of film, found Cheng Long with a few pages of scripts that he regarded as treasures, and then successfully persuaded Cheng Long and Yang Zhicheng with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, which officially opened a new and magnificent page of Chinese films.

From the debut film "Hurricane Rescue", to "Assassin", which brings together Cheng Long and Li to connect the two kung fu superstars, to "Inception", which swept the world, and "Gravity", which led the global 3D movie storm, and "The Hunger Games 1", which has maintained the highest single-day box office in North America and the highest box office in North America in the first week of the first week, it can be said that Li Mu has proved his unparalleled dominance in the field of sci-fi blockbusters and action blockbusters with box office miracles again and again.

During this period, Li Mu also wrote a script called "Hypnosis Master", it is said that Director Li originally wanted to shoot it himself, but later because he got the opportunity to direct "Assassin", he gave the script to Director Shen Junsheng, who was still unknown at that time.

Since then, the two have started a fixed model of large investment, 100 million US dollars of investment to Li Mu, and low-cost dramas and comedies to Shen Junsheng.

After that, moviegoers across the country have seen how much potential the low-cost script written by director Li Mu in his spare time can contain.

"The Way to Steal the Key", "People in Embarrassment 1", "People in Embarrassment 2: Thai Embarrassment", Li Mu's small-budget comedy films can't be compared with blockbusters such as "Inception" in the international market, but its performance in the domestic film market can be called a thriller.

Especially the movie "People in Embarrassment 2: Lost in Thailand", the box office performance of 1.53 billion yuan even almost broke the box office record of "Gravity" in China.

This means that director Li Mu also has a dominance that all domestic directors can't reach in terms of small-budget comedy, even if he has dominated the domestic New Year file for more than 20 years, and has repeatedly relied on Feng's comedy to win the annual box office championship, he has lost to Li Mu in the field he is best at.

The director of these comedy movies is Shen Junsheng, the director of Huashang Media, but everyone knows that these are "Li Mu movies", and they have distinctive Li Mu characteristics!

Then "Beijing Meets Seattle" and "33 Days of Broken Love" were born, the former invested less than 30 million, and the latter was less than 10 million, but the box office results of both were all above 700 million yuan.

At this time, everyone in the circle should realize that Li Mu also has a strong dominance in love movies and chick movies.

Action blockbusters, sci-fi blockbusters, comedy movies, and romance movies, is there really no theme that Li Mu is not good at?

If the success of a "Beijing City Meets Seattle" doesn't mean anything, what about "33 Days of Broken Love"?

If the huge success of two successive romance movies still doesn't prove anything, what about the current "Living Together in Time and Space"?

There is a consensus among theater managers that at least more than one-third of the audience will follow the trend and blindly watch the movie, and many audiences can't stand the hype and fooling, and this statistic is not applicable when encountering Li Mu's movies, at least half of the audience in the country will follow the trend to watch Li Mu's movies.

It can be said that as long as the quality of the film is acceptable, as long as the film can find a few bright spots, the box office results will basically not be bad.

So the question is, what is the quality of "Living Together in Time and Space"?

Rationally speaking, of course, it can't be compared with "Inception" and "The Martian", but as a romantic comedy, it's fair to say that you have to put it in the same kind of work to compare.

Romance films have always been the type that is very easy to shoot thunderous effects, car accidents, amnesia, abortion, empty content, moaning without disease, explosion of three views, ungrounded, heaven and earth, and looking for death and greasy life.

Everyone craves love, so romance as a genre must have a market, but how can there be so many things about ordinary people's love? But you have to really shoot the love of the most ordinary people, and the dramatic conflict is obviously not enough.

What to do?

Two people who are almost the same in terms of identity, status, or experience meet together, and the dramatic conflict is obviously not enough, but you let the domineering president fall in love with a very low-level woman inexplicably, and it is obviously a little floating, and it is also unconvincing, what do you say? Just picture you poor, picture you miserable, picture you give a piece of candy to the child on the side of the road, you are so caring? So the elite president just doesn't want to crush you regardless of family background, knowledge, knowledge, and temperament, and still have a deep affection for him and the right female number two, instead of having to be you?

The solution of "Living Together in Time and Space" is very ingenious, it designs a time and space that merges with each other.

Lu Shiyi in 2011 was a 44-year-old real estate tycoon and a business elite; Gu Xiaojiao in 2011 was 31 years old, an older woman who worshiped money, and it stands to reason that the possibility of these two people coming together in reality is almost equal to nothing.

But the 31-year-old Gu Xiaojiao met Lu Ming, who was only 25 years old in 92.

Lu Ming in 1992 and Gu Xiaojiao in 2011, the common feature of the two is that they have no money, and their lives are a mess.

In this way, two people get to know each other little by little, and like each other a little bit, it becomes reasonable and very down-to-earth.

The two of them took the bus together, went to see Gu Xiaojiao's father and her own childhood, ordered takeout together, talked together, Gu Xiaojiao met a classmate of green tea, and asked Lu Ming to pretend to be a successful boyfriend to help support the scene, although they messed up in the end, but the two hearts were slowly getting closer to each other.

And in this process, Lu Ming also found that Gu Xiaojiao was not as gold-worshipping as he showed at the beginning, Lu Ming used a peanut and a piece of dried tofu to make it a chicken flavor to coax Gu Xiaojiao, Gu Xiaojiao could also eat it and laughed, Gu Xiaojiao said that he wanted to eat chocolate cake, Lu Ming sliced the steamed bun and sprinkled it with black sesame paste powder, and after Gu Xiaojiao tasted it, he and Lu Ming started playing like an ordinary couple.

The same poor two people finally remembered to buy lottery tickets together, and then sat on a dilapidated bus together, in the disgusted expression of the aunt, they fantasized about the days when they would be rich in the future, they wanted to buy luxury cars, they also wanted to buy luxury houses, they wanted to travel everywhere to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and they also had to eat all kinds of delicacies that they couldn't afford to eat now, the two imagined the future together, Lei Jiayin rode the 28 bars, Tong Liya sat in the back and ate ice cream, and the two did almost all the things that ordinary couples would do in real life. Bringing the most beautiful real clips of love to ordinary people in reality to the big screen can of course resonate with ordinary audiences in the theater.

But if the movie only has these, it is obviously far from enough, because ordinary couples in reality will eventually find that those so-called beautiful imaginations are just unrealistic dreams, and painted pies that can almost never be realized.

Because there are enough chicken feathers in reality, what's wrong with letting the audience have fun in the movie?

Therefore, "Living Together in Time and Space" also gathers a lot of laughs, such as the ramen chef played by Huang Bo, and the male and female protagonists asked for 90-year-old Lafite in 2011, and ended up owing a lot of money to the bar, etc., such jokes abound in the film due to time and space disorder, so as a comedy, it must be qualified.

Then Lu Ming appeared in 2011, at this time he had changed his name to Lu Shiyi and became a real estate tycoon, so there was enough dramatic conflict.

The impoverished money-worshipping older woman had an emotional entanglement with Lu Ming in 1992, and then had an emotional entanglement with real estate tycoon Lu Shiyi, and Lu Ming in 92 was good everywhere, just poor; Lu Shiyi in 2011 is finally not poor, but he is not Lu Ming after all.

So does the heroine's Gu Xiaojiao like Lu Ming, who has no money, or Lu Shiyi, who has money?

As a romantic comedy movie, "Living Together in Time and Space" can provoke people to think, but it is not heavy; There is a plot interspersed with time and space lines, but it is not brain-burning; There are laughter and tears, and it is just right not to be hot; There is love and beauty, and it is reasonable and not so sweet that it is greasy; There is a down-to-earth life, and there are contradictions and conflicts that ordinary people do not have in reality, a domineering president, and of course, a happy ending.

In the end, Lu Ming did not listen to his own advice in the future, but chose to stick to his heart; And Gu Xiaojiao finally realized that the one who really made her heart excited was actually Lu Ming, who had always been happy with her and used dried tofu as chicken, not the real estate tycoon Lu Shiyi, who almost fulfilled all her previous fantasies.

The performances of the actors in "Living Together in Time and Space" are also remarkable.

Especially Lei Jiayin, who plays Lu Ming, from Lu Ming, who was indecisive, kind and optimistic in the early stage, to Lu Shiyi, who was unscrupulous and thoughtful and hidden in the later stage to achieve his goals, Lei Jiayin performed it vividly and vividly.

Tong Liya's performance in the film is also impressive, the character of the heroine Gu Xiaojiao is actually not pleasing, worshipping money, reality, brainless, two blind dates, one was sold by a real estate agent, and one was deceived by a pretending to pour potatoes, in reality, this kind of woman is definitely unpleasant, but Tong Liya's performance is fine.

First, there is indeed a relationship between appearance and justice, and secondly, Tong actually interprets the characters very well.

It is not a big sin for a money-worshipping girl with some material things to have some small fantasies of a domineering president falling from the sky in her mind. Li Mu also fantasized about four dan, double ice and four small flowers, what is so strange about this, who doesn't have it?

In addition, the performances of the supporting characters in the film are also remarkable, adding many highlights to the film.

For example, Huang Bo who plays the ramen master, Yuan Quan, the owner of the jewelry store, Yang Di, the bar boy, and Sicheng, the husband who pretends to be a green tea girlfriend, etc.

That's right, Li Mu replaced Xu Zheng and his wife, and chose to use Huang Bo and Yuan Quan, who cooperated more tacitly.

In addition, the original Gu Xiaojiao Green Tea Girlfriend's pretending husband is named Sicheng, which can be regarded as director Su Lun's public complaint about Chen Sicheng, Li Mu in this time and space simply asked Chen Sicheng to make a cameo in person, but because the two of them have nothing to do with this time and space, Li Mu's operation is basically just equal to self-entertainment.

A romantic comedy movie like "Living Together in Time and Space", which is qualified in all aspects, has occasional surprises, coupled with the word-of-mouth of Li Mu's production, and the driving role of 60 million votes, the most important thing is a series of favorable conditions that there are no competing products in this schedule - the only one on the market at this time with a daily box office of more than 10 million is only one "The Smurfs", which has been released for 7 days.

For example, the daily box office of "Harry Potter", which was released for 13 days, was more than 9 million; "Transformers 3", which was released for 27 days, had a daily box office of more than 7 million; "Yang Shanzhou", which was released for 29 days, and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", which was released for two months, only had a daily box office of one or two million.

"Living Together in Time and Space" was released on such a schedule, which has already gathered the right time and place, and the box office results are naturally not bad.

After winning 100 million box office since the premiere, it won 91 million, 73 million, and 67 million box office on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th days respectively, and the 5th and 6th days were Saturday and Sunday, and the box office rebounded slightly, winning 78 million and 71 million box office respectively on the weekend.

On the 7th day, Monday, the daily box office was 41 million - so far, the film has been released for 7 days, with a total box office of 521 million yuan, and Su Lun has also become the second female director to break 500 million at the box office after Xue Xiaolu.

Director Su Lun became famous after this battle!

When she just received the invitation from Huashang Media and Li Mu to direct, Su Lun was still very nervous and apprehensive, she attached great importance to this opportunity, and remembered that the goal she set for herself at that time was only to successfully complete the film, and she could basically satisfy Director Li and Huashang. At that time, she was still thinking that her debut film might not be too perfect, but as long as she could leave a good impression on Director Li Mu, this time it would be considered a success.

But as the filming process continued, director Su Lun began to become more and more confident, and at this time she had a new ambition, that is, to win at least 200 million yuan at the box office for Huashang.

The filming fund of the film is only 10 million, and the box office of 200 million yuan is won with a production cost of 10 million, which is not a big goal, but at this time, Su Lun has already established such confidence in specific shooting.

It wasn't until later that she heard that Director Li Mu was going to spend 60 million on the ticket supplement alone this time, and at this time, Su Lun's ambition inevitably rose again, and it was not completely impossible to give birth to a box office of 300 million or 400 million.

You must know that at this time, male directors who can win a box office of three or four billion yuan are still very rare, not to mention that she is a female director who has just graduated from the Central Opera Directing Department?

But now, the film has been released for a total of 7 days, with a total box office of 521 million!

The first work of a female director, only 7 days after its release, the box office of the film has been as high as 521 million, and looking at Maoyan's prediction, the final box office of the film has reached 945 million yuan at this time.

I didn't expect that my first film would most likely have locked the first place in the works of female directors!

In addition, Lei Jiayin has also been overjoyed in the past two days.

His last work "33 Days of Broken Love" has already made him instantly change from a lonely and unknown actor to a hot new student, but he didn't expect that in less than half a year, new miracles will follow.

If the box office of "Living Together in Time and Space" can really reach 900 million yuan, then there is no doubt that he Lei Jiayin has advanced to one of the most appealing actors in the country.

In addition, Tong Liya, as the heroine of the film, naturally gained a lot, last year she just emerged with "Myth" and "Beijing City Love Story", but in less than a year, she came up with a film that was so successful at the box office and influence, it can be said that since then, Tong Liya will successfully enter the ranks of first-line actresses.

At the very least, it's a quasi-line.
