Magic City, a certain movie theater

My cousin went to buy a lot of popcorn and drinks, and took my parents and aunt and uncle into the theater.

There are still a lot of people, and they came at a good time, the theater sat for about six or seven percent, Wang Yunping glanced at it a few times, most of them were young people, and there were relatively few people of their age.

This is also normal, movies are all watched by young people, middle-aged and elderly people mainly watch TV, after all, TV does not cost money.

Even if they don't care about money, most of them don't have that habit, drinking tea and drinking wine and even going out to sing K are lined up in front of going to the cinema to watch a movie.

Wang Yunping and Wei Shan have also been to the cinema a few times because they support their son, but their aunt and uncle have come less, and they have been to the family once or twice before.

Therefore, when Aunt Wei Xia saw that the theater was not full, her first reaction was that her nephew wanted to lose money.

My cousin couldn't cry or laugh: "Mom, you think that the movie theater is the same as our hotel, and the attendance rate is high." ”

"What's the difference, don't you still rely on the guests to eat, there are more guests who come, and you make a lot of money, but the guests are not full, you tell me how to make money?"

My cousin felt that something was wrong, but what Wei Xia said did make sense, and she didn't know how to refute it, so she could only reply that you don't understand.

Wei Xia didn't pay attention to her daughter, but inquired about the cost of the movie, and this Wang Yunping didn't know a few people, so she made a nonsense.

"Seventy or eighty million."

Wei Xia then began to settle accounts, he didn't know the profit ratio of the movie at all, so he went to apply his own restaurant experience, and the situation was not ideal.

The aunt muttered to herself, but the others ignored her, although they didn't understand it very well, but they could obviously understand that Wei Xia was a fool.

The first two movies, one of Wei Yang's 500 million+, and one 800 million+, I don't know how much he earned, but anyway, I heard that the profit is not low.

The momentum of this movie is better, the outside world is all kinds of prosperous, Wei Xia doesn't understand the film industry, so it's strange if she can understand it.

So a few people were not worried, and the cousin and cousin even made a bet with Wei Xia, wanting to take this opportunity to make some pocket money, but Wei Xia didn't understand movies, but she understood her son and daughter, and she didn't take this stubble at all, which disappointed her cousin and cousin.

"Stop making a fuss, watch a movie."

As an uncle, Wei Shan still has some prestige among his cousins and cousins, as soon as he spoke, both of them were honest, and the dragon mark of a certain game began to appear on the screen.

At the beginning of the movie, it was Wei Yang's appearance, and as mentioned earlier, compared with the original version, the male protagonist Qin Feng's age setting is older.

The original version is to apply for the police academy, and the male protagonist of this version has graduated from the police academy and was rejected during the job interview.

So in terms of setting, Wei Yang's version of Qin Feng is more mature, but it is not familiar much, after all, he is also a college student if rounded, and his appearance is relatively young, plus Boss Wei's face is tender, and he is a little boyish.

This kind of Wei Yang is relatively rare, don't look at his age, he is actually not very old, but he is usually calm and sophisticated, so that although he looks young, few people regard him as a young man.

Even the elders in the family were a little surprised, after the changes in the past few years, their impression of Wei Yang back then was already a little vague.

It had been a long time since they had seen Wei Yang's youthful and high-spirited posture.

The cousin didn't have much thought, just praised the cousin for being so handsome.

This view is not only them, but many viewers in the theater also have this idea, and many female viewers directly praise it, it's okay to be single, and it's called a sour company if you have a partner.

But sour is sour, Boss Wei's appearance is not covered, it can be said that he is stronger than Yanzu, better than Yan.

Even in the hearts of the male viewers who are proud and handsome, they have to admit that they are not at their peak, and they really have to avoid the edge a little.

After Qin Feng appeared, another person who left the factory was Wang Baoqiang, and his image greatly exceeded many people's expectations.

Wang Baoqiang's most famous role is none other than Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault", he has a simple appearance, a simple smile, and a real speech.

So in the public's impression, Wang Baoqiang is a "silly boy", who has been better in the past two years, but he belongs to the kind of silly or honest image of a teacher.

And his image in "Detective Chinatown" is completely subversive.

is obscene and flamboyant, treacherous and brainless, such a contrast really surprised all the audience, and this surprise also made the audience impressed by this character and looked forward to it.

Wang Baoqiang also lived up to the audience's expectations, with outstanding comedy effects, making the audience laugh.

Another impressive thing is that this is not Chen Chichi, who has more roles in the early stage, but Xiao Yang.

This straw bag sheriff with a general's belly and four words written on his face with the words wine bag and rice bag on his face provides no less laughter than Tang Ren played by Wang Baoqiang.

And in the baggage and jokes, the main plot is also slowly opened.

Thai tycoon Mr. Yan's gold shop was robbed, and the police identified one of the suspects as the sculpture boss, but when he was arrested, he found that the sculpture boss had been killed.

After investigation, it was found that in recent days, only Tang Ren had entered the sculpture shop, and the time could match the time of the deceased's death, and the surveillance showed that he had transported things from the sculpture shop, which was likely to be the stolen goods.

As a result, Tang Ren became the main murderer + robber and was wanted by the police.

Tang Ren, who had no unwarranted disaster, didn't want to be a big prison, so he could only run away in embarrassment, and he also affected his nephew Qin Feng, who came to travel.

Qin Feng was born in the police academy and was good at detective reasoning, and when he was forced to flee with Tang Ren, through his understanding of Tang Ren, he realized that he could not kill anyone, and after analysis, he found that the case was suspicious.

He is obsessed with solving the case and wants to find out the truth, and Tang Ren also wants to restore his innocence.

The Chinatown Detective Group officially debuted!

The plot of the next movie revolves around solving the case, and there are various gags during the period, which makes the plot light-hearted and enjoyable in a logical situation.

This is not an easy task, Wei Yang felt it when he first filmed "Rise to Fame".

Crime suspense and comedy don't blend that well!

It's important to balance between the two, if either side is too hot, it will cause the whole movie to go bad.

For example, if there are too many crime elements, the movie style will be serious and depressing, and if there are too many comedy elements, it will appear frivolous and the main plot will be weakened.

So far, Wei Yang is fortunate that "Rise to Fame" has found Ning Hao and Wang Fatzi as producers, especially Ning Hao, who started with black humor, and is best at the combination of comedy + crime, even if Wei Yang is hanging, he also relies on each other.

With the foreshadowing of "Rise to Fame", Wei Yang's control over this aspect has been significantly enhanced, and he has a God's perspective.

Therefore, "Detective Chinatown" has a brisk and non-dispersive rhythm, with a prominent but harmonious style, which makes the audience nervous and happy, and their eyes are firmly fixed on the screen.

Movies with mystery elements have the advantage of burying hooks all the time, causing the audience to have a lot of question marks in their hearts and are willing to wait until the end to uncover.

This also led to "Detective Chinatown" being played for more than an hour, not to mention that there were people going to the toilet, and there were fewer people even talking.

is either laughing, or engrossed in observing the plot, and some of them are substituted into it, all kinds of reasoning about who is the murderer and how the murderer committed the crime, which is also a major selling point of the suspense reasoning theme.

However, compared with the much-criticized beginning of the previous life, he guessed "Tang Detective 3", and "Tang Detective 2", which hinted at obvious and suspected plagiarism.

The reasoning setting of the first part of "Detective Chinatown" is the best in the series, and the threshold is relatively high.

Maybe it can't help those reasoning enthusiasts, and some of them can also detect one or two, but the vast majority of the audience only understood what was going on after the answer was revealed.

"So that's it?!"

After listening to Qin Feng's identification of Sinuo's adoptive father, his cousin suddenly realized and couldn't help but be surprised.

"This movie cousin is a screenwriter, what do you think about this case, it's really exciting."

But my cousin still held on: "I have also read the Weiyang trilogy written by our brother, they are all reasoning crime themes, what's so strange about writing a script." ”

"That's different, the case of the trilogy is not complicated, this is real reasoning."

The cousin was not convinced, and he wanted to argue, but his mouth was covered by the eldest uncle, because there was another reversal in the movie at this time.

It turned out that the adoptive father who killed people was just a puppet used by Sinuo, this harmless girl, pure and lovely, was the real murderer without blood.

Kill two birds with one stone!

The sculpture boss who solved his hostility to himself sent his adoptive father to a dead end.

The famous scene appeared, and seeing the sly smile in the shadow of Zhang Zifeng, many of the audience who were originally numb were directly frightened and shouted out.

But after the fright, I was also very emotional, the original plot was exciting enough, and the case within the case was reversed, and the excitement went to a new level, and the unexpected "mastermind behind the scenes" was also a contrasting surprise.

At the end of the movie, many of the audiences who went out one after another were discussing the plot and the performances of the actors.

There are even a few who go directly to the counter to buy tickets again, ready to brush it for the second time, there are too many details and small baggage in the movie, and there are many that have been ignored just now, and it is more interesting to rewatch it again.

Wei Yang's family didn't have a second brush, and it was actually very tiring to concentrate on watching a movie.

Young people and moviegoers may not care, but older people may not be able to keep up.

In addition, most of the other movies are not attractive, so everyone simply went home, and my cousin and cousin really wanted to watch it, but they were suppressed by four adults.

On the way back, although Wei Xia affirmed the quality of "Detective Chinatown", she was still worried about losing money.

My cousin really couldn't stand it, so she asked on the Internet, and got a conch professional app to check the real-time box office of "Detective Chinatown".

It was almost 3 p.m. after they finished watching the movie, and the evening and evening were the peak of the movie.

But even so, the current first-day box office figures for "Detective Chinatown" are impressive.

"Ten hundred thousand... 10,000, obediently, 110 million. ”

My cousin was frightened by this number, she thought that there would be a lot of box office, but she didn't expect to break 100 million directly, so it was less than a day.

The others were also taken aback, and hurriedly came over to check and ask if the data was accurate.

My cousin didn't know what to say, so she simply sent a WeChat message to Wei Yang, who might not be busy at this time, and replied with a voice after a while.

"You haven't added the advance ticket office yet."

My cousin didn't know where to look at the advance box office data, but she knew that what her mom feared wouldn't happen.

This movie, cousin definitely makes a lot of money!

…

"It's not just a big profit, it's simply a god blocking and killing a god, and a Buddha blocking and killing a Buddha."

That night, the main creators of the crew of "Detective Chinatown" met, and several leading actors were passionate one by one, no wonder they were excited, it was really a great box office performance of the movie.

As of almost early morning, today's market has been basically determined, including the pre-sale box office.

"Detective Chinatown" had a box office of 220 million on the first day!

It has refreshed many first-day box office records such as Spring Festival stalls, domestic films, and mainland film markets.

This data shocked everyone, before that, everyone was very optimistic about "Detective Chinatown", but the goal was only to break the 1 billion mark.

Which Cheng thought that he won 1/5 of the strategic goal in one day.

220 million on the first day, maybe "Detective Chinatown" will exceed 1 billion in the next few days during the Spring Festival.

Wei Yang was also a little surprised, but it was not a gaffe, after all, in the previous life, 2015 was originally the year of the rise of the film market and the outbreak of Chinese films.

If he remembers correctly, in his previous life, the box office of 1 billion+ movies in 2015 was nearly double digits, including "Looking for the Dragon", "Hong Kong", "Charlotte's Troubles" and other movies with 1.5 billion+ or nearly 1.5 billion.

No. 1 "Monster Hunt", for various reasons. The final box office was nearly 2.5 billion, which directly raised the box office ceiling of mainland movies several levels.

Although "Detective Chinatown" was released half a year or even more than half a year earlier than these movies.

But the market base and the appeal of the movie itself are here, and it is reasonable to grab a good start before the release of various movies.

Boss Wei even spit on his conservatism for a while, obviously he is the reborn + the master of destiny, why is he so unproductive?

1 billion+?

Crossing the 2 billion mark in front of "Monster Hunt" is what he should do, and if he can't do it, let Li Jiahang not lift it for a month.

Boss Wei was ruthless, and even after the Spring Festival, he took the team to continue the roadshow, and the other main creators were also high-spirited and had no complaints when they saw the good results.

They are happy too. The other major crews are miserable.

The box office of "Heavenly General" will be 90 million on the first day.

"Macau Fengyun" is even less than 60 million.

"Zhong Kui Conquers Demons" is almost 40 million.

The box office of "Wolf Totem" on the first day was only more than 20 million.

The rest of the movies such as "Where Are You Going Daddy 2" and "Dad's Holiday" are also extremely shabby at the box office on the first day, the former can barely compete with "Wolf Totem" by virtue of the popularity of the show, and the latter has a box office of less than eight figures on the first day, which is extremely miserable.

Frankly speaking, many of these movies are actually good at the box office, and some filmmakers should be quite satisfied.

But sometimes I'm afraid of comparing goods, I was originally very happy to earn 30 million, but when I saw that others made 100 million, let alone happy, it would be good not to vomit to death.

And according to market analysis, the performance of "Detective Chinatown" is so strong, it is bound to squeeze the market of films in the same period.

In other words, a considerable part of the 220 million in "Detective Chinatown" is likely to be from other movies.

This statement is not necessarily accurate, some money is not earned by others, and you can't earn it, but I can't stand everyone thinking so, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

However, this is uncomfortable, and the more "Detective Chinatown" earns, the situation becomes more and more serious.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" dropped slightly, winning 180 million box office.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the box office fell a little backwards, and the box office of 192 million made many people hate it.

In the next few days, although the box office continued to decline, the overall trend was normal, and even some stamina, and occasionally reversed.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the last day of the Spring Festival, "Detective Chinatown" broke through the 1 billion mark as desired.

This is Wei Yang's first movie with a box office of 1 billion+, but it is by no means the last.........

It's not dawn, and it should be night
