The 29th Golden Rooster Awards was held by the organizer Shengsheng as the most capricious one, and the best feature film was awarded to "Four Days and Nights", "Send You a Little Red Flower" and "Chinese Partner" three films, which are extremely rare to open a three-yolk egg.

This is not over, the best director was awarded to Li Mu of "Send You a Little Red Flower", and director Chen Kezin of "Chinese Partner", and the double yolk egg was successfully reproduced after the three yellow eggs.

In addition, the Best Actor was awarded to Huang Xiaoming of "Chinese Partner" and Zhang Guoli of "1942", which successfully gave birth to the second double yolk egg of this year's Golden Rooster Award.

At the same Golden Rooster Awards, a three-yolk egg and two double-yolk eggs were opened at the same time, which can be regarded as creating the history of the Golden Rooster Award, and at the same time, it also added a lot of talking points to netizens.

In addition, the Best Actress went to Song Qi of "Xiao Hong", the Best Supporting Actor went to Wang Qingchuan of "The Grandmaster", the Best Supporting Actress went to Hai Qing in "Searching", and the Best Directorial Debut was awarded to Guo Fan, the director of "Shark Beach".

On the whole, the performance of this year's Golden Rooster Award Huashang films and actors is extremely eye-catching, winning a series of awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Newcomer Director, etc., and it is not in vain that Li Mu's new film is released in his busy schedule.

After the award ceremony, Li Mu held offline fan meeting activities in Jiangcheng and Beijing, where the Golden Rooster Awards were held, Li Mu's fans are not only huge, but also the female group is obviously superior, among which young women are the absolute main force.

These people are often very powerful in combat.

At the event site, as soon as Li Mu just appeared, various sharp sounds were already heard around him.

"Husband, I love you?"

"I love you too, but don't call me husband, I'm afraid it's not a misunderstanding!"

"Hehehe......"

"The movie is very good!"

"Thank you!"

"The magic is very dazzling!"

"Thank you, if you like it!"

"Husband, we're going to marry you!"

"Guys? Do you think it's appropriate to use 'we' here? ”

"Suitable!"

"Appropriate?"

"Hehehehehe......"

At the same time, film reviews about "Demon Thieves" also began to explode on the Chinese Internet, which can be said to be mixed, and a considerable number of people feel that the film does not seem to be as good as it sounds, and there are naturally not a few people who like the film, and there is inevitably a debate between the two sides.

""The Demon Thieves" is definitely not the best movie directed by Li Mu, it is indeed not as exciting as the amazing "Inception", nor is it as shocking as "Gravity", which created a precedent for 3D movies, and it is not as rigorous as "The Martian", which is very Chinese characteristics, seeing the voices of some netizens criticizing the film, I want to remind everyone that no one in China can control this level of commercial blockbuster except Director Li Mu."

"Seeing some fans shouting disappointment, I was puzzled by this, could it be that the applause and groaning sound that erupted in the entire theater from time to time when I watched the movie were fake? Awesome cast, awesome special effects, awesome soundtrack, awesome to explode quick editing, I said what do you want to see? Do you still require director Li Mu to have the quality of "Inception" in every movie? "Demon Thieves" does have shortcomings, but it is still a classic overall. ”

"It's super good-looking, Liu Yifei's water tank escape is super exciting, and the fairy sister is in super good shape, and I'm ready to brush it for a shot!"

"It's cool, popcorn, the midstream level of Li Mu's works, the top level of Chinese movies as a whole, just sauce purple!"

"At the beginning, Liu Yifei's magic performance was quite explosive, and the cones believed me, just that one clip is worth watching the whole movie."

Among all the comments of netizens, the magic show about Liu Yifei's water tank escape appeared most frequently, and countless people who originally planned to wait for a month or so to watch pirated versions after coming out of HD on the Internet couldn't help but feel itchy after reading similar comments, and finally simply gritted their teeth and logged in to Maoyan Movie to buy votes and choose seats.

When it comes to the expected total box office of the film, netizens are even more radical than the other:

"As evidence, the domestic box office of "Demon Thieves" will exceed 2 billion!"

"2 billion must be conservative, Director Li's "Non-Embarrassment" was created a few years ago? At that time, it was 2.2 billion, do you know how much the number of screens in the country has increased in recent years? I estimate that 2.5 billion is no problem, 2.5 billion in China, 400 million US dollars overseas, and more than 700 million US dollars at the global box office! ”

"It's still too conservative, I feel like everyone is underestimating our Director Li! Do you remember how much "Monster Hunt" sold last year? A full 2.77 billion! What's in "Monster Hunt"? It's also a weekly news box office! Do you watch "The Bandits" again? The director is Li Mu himself, the heroine Liu Yifei, and the actor Cheng Long - these are the most box office actors and actresses in China, right? In addition, there are Hollywood celebrities such as Lei Jiayin, Guo A, and Morgan Freeman, and the cast lineup directly turned "Monster Hunt" into slag in seconds, which makes no sense that the box office is not as good as "Monster Hunt", right? I think 2.8 billion is proper! ”

"As evidence, the first domestic film with a box office of more than 3 billion is about to be born!"

"I'm a traverser, the final box office of "Demon Thieves" is 3.173 billion, if you don't believe it, let's watch it in two months!"

Li Mu was also reading the comments of netizens, and when he saw that so many netizens predicted that the box office of the film would exceed 2.5 billion, 2.8 billion, or even 3 billion, Li Mu finally couldn't help but complain internally in the crew:

"Now these netizens are too daring to brag, I'm embarrassed to see it, 2 billion mouths will come, and the people who watch it are shocked, as if 2 billion is simple, the problem is that it is 2 billion! It's not 200 million, it's not 1 billion, it's 2 billion! ”

"The result is even more exaggerated, even the box office of 2.5 billion or even 3 billion has come out, I wonder if these netizens really understand the domestic market at this stage? Anyone who knows a little bit about the market can't guess the box office like that, right? ”

As a result, Lei Jiayin's words almost didn't make Li Mu angry:

"Director, do you think our "Demon Thieves" won't reach 3 billion?"

One sentence directly stunned Li Mu.

"3 billion? What do you think? 2 billion to the sky! 17 to 1.8 billion is normal, and about 1.5 billion is not considered to hit the street - how can you believe the statement of 3 billion when I say big head? You don't know how uncommon sense this statement is, right? ”

Lei Jiayin looked serious: "I know! But who told Director Li that there are few of your previous works that conform to common sense? For example, your book, written by a Chinese in a foreign country, turned out to be stunned and sold more than 200 million copies overseas! Director Li, do you think this is in line with common sense? ”

"This ......" Li Mu was speechless for a while.

At midnight the next day, Li Mu, who was in China, finally got the accurate box office figures of the first day of "Demon Thieves", and it was almost noon in the United States at this time, so Li Mu made a call to Brother Cheng Long's mobile phone.

"The box office came out on the first day, 186 million yuan, which is not bad."

"Not bad, yes, I used to have a box office of 100 million for a play, wow, it's amazing, and now the box office is 100 million on the first day! I didn't dare to think about it before, by the way, how many days did the first day of "Monster Hunt" come? Now many filmmakers in Hong Kong are studying this film."

"218 million!"

"Huh? So much worse? Problems with the film's word-of-mouth? ”

"Big brother, 186 million is already very good, right?! "Monster Hunt" is an outlier and a box office miracle! If it's a miracle, how can it be broken so easily? ”

"Also, 186 million is already very good."

Hanging up the phone, Li Mu was a little helpless, 186 million eh, isn't this achievement enough to explode? Why did netizens predict that the box office would exceed 3 billion, and after listening to the results of "Monster Hunt", Brother Cheng Long asked if there was a problem with the reputation of "Demon Thieves", why did it seem that the 186 million on the first day of "Dream Raiders" hit the street at the box office?

Is everyone's reaction fair to 186 million?

This number is not his Li Mu's movies, but if they are the works of other domestic directors, they must have been blown into the sky by now, right?

As a result, when it came to him Li Mu? Suspected of playing badly?

Where did Li Mu go to reason?

The data of the first day of "Detective Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King", which was released on the same day as "The Demon Thieves", was also announced, 81 million yuan, less than half of "The Demon Thieves", and as a result, there was a lot of admiration on the Internet:

"The box office broke 80 million on the first day, and Director Xu Ke is awesome! "Shendu Dragon King" is awesome! ”

"In addition to the nickname, the box office of "Shendu Dragon King" sold 81 million yuan on the first day, and the total box office is predicted to exceed 800 million, Director Xu Ke made an extraordinary shot this time!"

"The box office of "Shendu Dragon King" far exceeded expectations, and the box office performance of "Demon Thieves" was slightly poor."

After reading the comments, Li Mu's whole person was not good, as far as these comments from netizens, I don't know how many times the box office of "Shendu Dragon King" is "Demon Thieves", but the reality is just the opposite, in fact, the box office of "Shendu Dragon King" on the first day is less than half of that of "Demon Thieves", but even so, it still can't stop netizens from calling 81 million a box office hit, and calling 186 million a slightly worse performance than expected.

Li Mu even suspected that all the math scores of this year's netizens were failing.

Or it's not just ordinary netizens, because after the box office came out on the first day, Li Mu also received several calls with a "comforting" nature.

For example, Han Sanping, Yan Yiyun, Wang Changtian, etc. have called, and the content of the phone calls is often surprisingly consistent, nothing more than the results of "Demon Thieves" are very good, congratulations to Li Mu for succeeding again, and then the style of painting changed, saying that every movie can't be expected to create miracles like "Monster Hunt" and "Frozen", right?

It sounds like everyone is afraid that Li Mu will not be satisfied with the box office so they came to explain it, Li Mu is quite a little crying and laughing, in fact, he is quite satisfied with the box office performance of "Demon Thieves".

It's only to blame Li Mu for brushing the upper limit of his grades too high before, so that now he has obviously got a very good result, but in the eyes of everyone, he has become a very average performance.

After participating in several domestic roadshows, Li Mu flew to the United States in a hurry to meet Liu Yifei and Brother Cheng Long, and at the same time, the box office of "Demon Thieves" the next day was finally counted.

183 million yuan, a slight decrease from the first day. "Shendu Dragon King" collected 79 million yuan the next day, which was also less than the first day.

At the same time, the first-day box office of "Rogue Groups" in North America was finally revealed, with $14.2 million, ranking second on the North American single-day list, the first being Sony's animated film "Heavenly Food 2", which received $15.07 million on the first day.

This time, Li Mu was really dissatisfied.

He doesn't remember how long his movie hasn't even won a single-day championship on the first day of release, a North American weekend box office twice and three consecutive championships is commonplace, and there is no difficulty in winning five or six consecutive championships, and suddenly the film lost a single crown on the first day of release, which is undoubtedly very rare, and Li Mu is a little uncomfortable.

If you lose to a famous work, it's just a matter of losing to this "Heavenly Food 2", what the hell is this? Obviously, it looks ordinary, but I really haven't done anyone else, and I'm a little aggrieved!

Back to the domestic market.

The third day is the National Day of China, whether it is "Demon Thieves" or "Shendu Dragon King", both ushered in a wave of box office rebound, "Demon Thieves" single-day box office rose to 191 million yuan, and "Shendu Dragon King" reached 84 million yuan.

On the fourth day, "Demon Thieves" was 197 million yuan, which almost failed to break 200 million, and "Shendu Dragon King" was 87 million yuan, still failing to break the 90 million yuan mark.

On the fifth day, the single-day box office of "Demon Thieves" dropped to 195 million yuan, and it seems that 197 million on the fourth day is its highest single-day result. On the fifth day, the box office of "Shendu Dragon King" also began to decline, with a guaranteed income of 84 million yuan, and it seems that its goal of breaking 90 million in a single day should be unattainable.

So far, "The Demon Thieves" has been released in China for five days, with a total box office of 952 million yuan, and "Shendu Dragon King", which was released at the same time as "The Demon Thieves", has won a total of 415 million yuan at the box office.

The comments of domestic netizens on this are:

"The box office didn't exceed 1 billion in five days? Directed by Li Mu, Liu Yifei, Cheng Long, Lei Jiayin, and a number of Hollywood celebrities participated in the lineup, etc. - the team lineup is blind, to be honest, the quality of the film is not bad, but the results are really average. ”

""Interstellar" has also been completed for a long time, and it is estimated that it will definitely be on it in less than a year, I hope that "Interstellar" can make Director Li create more brilliance!"

"Also pay attention to "Interstellar", this $150 million investment, it is awesome, Li Mu and Anne Hathaway formed a CP in front of Liu Yifei, he is really bold, and I heard that Liu Yifei called Li Mu Dad in the play? Interesting, can play, super looking forward to it! ”

It turns out that in the hearts of domestic netizens, the film directed by Li Mu himself, if it does not break 1 billion in five days, is it considered a failure? Look at the comments Li Mu has a toothache:

"Didn't these viewers find out that they were too demanding of me?"

finally deeply felt why Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 3" was difficult to deliver, because the audience's appetite has been adjusted too high, which makes it difficult for you to continue to meet the audience's high expectations for him no matter what kind of results you achieve in the future.

Who made his previous results too good?

At this time, the box office of the film's first weekend in North America was finally counted.

Previously, the first-day box office of "Thieves" was not as good as "Falling from the Sky 2", which was released at the same time, "Thieves" was $14.2 million on the first day, but "Falling from Heaven 2" was as high as $15.07 million.

As a result, "Rogue Groups" successfully overtook $12.5 million the next day, while the box office of "Heavenly Food 2" plummeted to $9.2 million the next day.

On the third day, "Rogues" reported $11.2 million, with a negligible drop at the box office, while "Falling from the Sky 2" received $9.6 million on the third day, and instead of continuing to fall, the box office fell by $400,000 very rarely, but the next day fell significantly, so even if there was a rare reversal on the third day, it still couldn't get it the title of this weekend.

In the end, "Rogue Bandits" topped the list with a weekend of $37.9 million, while "Heavenly Taste 2" came in second with $33.87 million.

The third-place Universal Pictures' "Fast and Furious" was only $10 million in three days over the weekend, and the fourth-place "Baggage Confirmation" was even lower, at only $9.2 million.

As of the fifth day of the film's global release, it has earned a total of 123 million US dollars at the box office in overseas markets, which is almost 830 million yuan when converted into RMB according to the exchange rate of the day, which is less than the 952 million yuan in China, and the global box office of the film has reached 1.782 billion yuan.

Five days, 1.782 billion yuan, an average of 356 million yuan per day.

After the results were counted, Brother Cheng Long couldn't help but feel emotional.

According to Li Mu's past results, the $37.9 million in the first weekend of North America is not very good, but the global box office of 1.782 billion yuan in five days is very exaggerated, converted into US dollars is 262 million, and it is very remarkable to get this figure in five days, and the key to this achievement is that the domestic market has finally grown.

Take this "Demon Thieves" as an example, the domestic box office in five days was 952 million yuan, and the overseas box office was only 830 million in total.

This means that even if the overseas box office of "Rogues" is only 300 million US dollars, after adding the mainland box office, its global total box office is likely to exceed the 600 million US dollar mark.

Because the mainland market has really risen!
