Chapter 490: The first explosion of the year, the frenzy of broadcasting
On the first day of the Spring Festival, [Journey to the West] undoubtedly won the national box office championship of the day with a box office score of 355 million, and broke the record of the fastest domestic film box office to break 200 million and the fastest to break 300 million.
On the second day of the film's release, the box office declined, with a single daily revenue of 222 million yuan.
Coupled with the zero box office, the first week [Journey to the West] became the biggest winner after the start of the Spring Festival this year with a box office of 588 million.
Cheng Long's [Kung Fu Yoga] followed with a box office result of 271 million in the first week, and the third was Han Han's [Riding the Wind and Waves], which had the smallest investment among the three movies, with a box office of 129 million in the first week.
Interestingly, among the three main films of the Spring Festival stalls, the top two have not had a good reputation, but the lowest box office [Riding the Wind and Waves] has the highest score.
[Journey to the West] Douban score of 5.5, just like Gu Wei said, has set a new low in the reputation of Zhou Xingchi's movies in recent years.
There is no scolding on the Internet, but most viewers who have seen the movie have expressed their disappointment with this film.
The plot is weak and the actors' acting skills are embarrassing, everyone was expecting what kind of peerless masterpiece the combination of Zhou Xingchi and Xu Ke would bring, but the huge gap between reality and imagination suddenly broke the defense of many viewers who had watched the movie.
[We really blame Zhang Yimou, this film is 100 "Ferryman" worse than "The Great Wall"! ] 】
[After watching Li Jiaheng, I miss Wen Zhang]
[The special effects in the industry can be seen, the story is really poor, the lines are embarrassing, none of the actors have acting skills online, the lines can't keep up with the mouth, and the actions can't keep up with the legs]
【. 】
Reviews like these abound online.
Comparatively speaking, the negative voice of [Kung Fu Yoga], which has a lower rating than [Journey to the West].
Cheng Long's film is seriously homogeneous, and the audience's original expectations for his film are not high, and even if the final film has such and such shortcomings, it is expected.
And there is one main reason, it is now the Spring Festival holiday, [Kung Fu Yoga] is a family-friendly action comedy, and it is not bad for everyone to go to the theater to watch a good time during the New Year, and the quality of the movie is not too much.
[Journey to the West] continues the dark Journey to the West style of [Legend of Demon Suppression], and is more exaggerated than the first part, which is not suitable for children to watch, and naturally does not please the audience.
Comparing these two movies, although "Riding the Wind and Waves" has also been criticized by some viewers for being too machismo, it is generally the highest-rated movie in this year's Spring Festival.
In the past two days, it has snowed again in the capital, and during the Spring Festival, the city is like a thick quilt, and there is a white expanse everywhere.
However, every household puts up lanterns and sticks red lanterns, and the red and white contrast highlights the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
"Xiaomin, let's go watch a movie in a while, there have been several good movies recently, I want to go and see them?"
People come and go on the Sanlitun pedestrian street, and two young and beautiful figures walk side by side with their arms on their shoulders.
They were all dressed in thick down jackets and woolen hats, and they looked no more than 20 years old.
"What do you want to see?"
The little girl in a pale yellow down jacket asked.
"How about [Journey to the West] Monster Chapter, Zhou Xingchi's movie, and I like Li Jiaheng, I look forward to the performance of idols in it"
The girl next to her, who was a little shorter and wore a fan's hat, said with a smile.
Xiao Min pursed her lips disdainfully as she listened to her best friend's words.
"Wanwan, I told you before, it's better to chase Li Jiaheng than to chase Gu Wei with me, they are not comparable at all!"
"It's different, although Gu Wei is a little more handsome, I still like Li Jiaheng's cool and cool ruffian feeling"
Hearing her best friend talk about her idol, the little girl in the pink hat argued.
"Okay, it's your freedom to like which star you like, and you won't listen to it anyway."
Saying that, Xiaomin lowered her head and thought about it.
"I've read comments on the Internet, [Journey to the West] seems to have a good reputation, but I can go and see it for Zhou Xingchi.
But not today"
"Why?"
"Today, Gu Wei's costume fairy drama [Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms] will be launched on the first day, and I will go home to watch that in a while, how can I have time to go to the cinema."
"If you don't say it, I forgot it, Gu Wei and Yang Mi's new drama, I want to go back and watch it."
Hearing what her best friend said, Wanwan's eyes lit up.
Although she is not a die-hard fan of Gu Wei, it does not prevent her from liking Gu Wei's movies and TV series.
After all, if you don't watch Gu Wei's dramas in recent years, young people really don't have any dramas to watch.
"Anyway, there are still many days during the winter vacation, and it's too late to watch the movie in a few days.
Not only [Journey to the West], but also Cheng Long's [Kung Fu Yoga] and Han Han's [Riding the Wind and Waves] I want to watch."
The two little girls discussed, and after a while, Sanlitun during the Chinese New Year was almost the least crowded time in the year.
When the time was about right, the two of them rushed home.
Xiaomin and Wanwan are good friends who have played since childhood, live in a community, and have been in the same class almost since kindergarten, and belong to iron girlfriends.
After arriving at the community, the two agreed to go out to play together tomorrow, and then went home separately to watch the drama.
In Shanghai, in the house of [Sunac Binjiang No. 1 Courtyard], Reba's mother is doing housework, and the room of more than 400 square meters is really tiring to clean up.
The daughter said that this is a house under the company's name, because she temporarily lent her to live in Shanghai while filming, and a cleaning company will come to clean it regularly.
But Reba's mother, who has been a housewife for more than 20 years, is still used to tidying up her place at any time.
While he was working, the door suddenly opened from the outside.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
Reba's father, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, asked strangely when he saw his daughter pushing the door in.
"There are not many shooting tasks arranged by the crew today, and I hurried back after filming my own scene."
Reba entered the door to change his shoes, took off his coat and hung it on a nearby hanger.
"Have you eaten dinner, you don't say it in advance, I'll heat it up for you if there are still some meals in the kitchen?"
"Don't be busy, Mom~
I came back from the crew with a bite to eat."
Saying that, Reba walked to the living room, sat on the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, and then began to adjust the channel.
Daddy Reba put down the newspaper in his hand.
"What are you looking for, in such a hurry?"
"Dad, do you remember what I said during the Chinese New Year two days ago, the TV series starring Gu Wei and Sister Mi premiered today.
I'm in a hurry to come back and see how it goes."
Reba's eyes were fixed on the TV, tuned to Blueberry Channel, the TV was playing commercials, she looked at the time in the upper right corner, there were about 5 minutes before the TV series aired.
"Bai Fengjiu" played by Li Reba is the second female, which can be said to be the heaviest role in addition to the male and female protagonists.
She has also played the heroine in TV series before, and the current scene [Beautiful Li Huizhen] is the number one heroine.
However, drama and drama are different, a big-budget TV series like [Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms], which is bound to be popular, even if it is a supporting role, is more famous than the male and female protagonists of small-budget TV dramas.
And Gu Wei once told her that the role of "Bai Fengjiu" is very likable, and it will be a role that she is very out of the circle.
It didn't take long for [Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms] to start playing on TV.
Reba's mother also put down her work and sat down to watch it with her daughter.
"Listen to the rustle of the wind
Knocking on someone's sorrowful bowels
Thoughts grow in an instant
I forgot how long the night was."
Accompanied by the singing of the opening song, the beautiful Qingqiu, the ethereal Heavenly Palace, and then Gu Wei, who was dressed in black, and Yang Mi, who was fluttering in white, appeared on the big screen.
"This voice is familiar, is it your boss singing?"
Reba nodded.
The opening song of the TV series is that the crew invited the famous songwriters Dai Yuedong and Tan Hang to compose the lyrics and music, and the song title is [Three Lives and Three Worlds].
originally wanted to invite a male singer to sing this OST, but in the end, director Lin Yufen chatted with Gu Wei and simply let him sing as the male lead, anyway, Gu Wei is also professional, and this is more topical.
Including the ending song "Liangliang" of "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", which was also completed by Gu Wei and the singer Zhang Bichen invited by the crew.
At that time, Gu Wei also joked that if Sister Mi sang with him, it happened to be the hero and heroine, but in the end he was ruthlessly rejected by Yang Mi.
At the beginning of the TV series, the "Moyuan God" played by Gu Wei appeared, dressed in a yellow and simple robe, wearing a high hat, and a little more beard on his face, as handsome as ever, and at the same time more majestic.
The Qingqiu Emperor "Bai Qian" played by Yang Mi came to Kunlun to apprentice under the leadership of "Folding Face".
As soon as the two of them arrived in Kunlunxu, a magic weapon automatically flew to recognize Yang Mi, who was known as "Si Yin".
Gu Wei arrived with a group of disciples, and he naturally recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was a woman disguised as a man, and wondered why the magic weapon would choose Yang Mi as the master.
At this time, Yang Mi, who saw the "Moyuan God", the first god of war in the four seas and eight wildernesses, was also muttering in his heart, "I thought that the first god of war in the four seas and eight wildernesses had three heads and six arms, who would have thought that it was a little white face that was more romantic than folding a face." ”
The original TV series is a bit funny in this scene, Zhao Youting himself is not handsome enough, and he is a middle-aged man after sticking a beard, and the little white face is completely talking nonsense with his eyes open.
However, in Gu Wei's version, when this line of Yang Mi's inner drama is spoken, the audience will not play again.
After all, even if he has a beard, Gu Wei's appearance is extraordinarily handsome, ignoring his bearing and majesty at this time, just looking at his face, it is too appropriate to say that he has a little white face.
Before I knew it, the two episodes of the first day were over.
Reba sat on the couch and stretched with her hands up.
"Girl, when are you going to show up?"
After watching the TV series, Reba's mother asked.
"Mom, look at the little princess born in Qingqiu at the end of the second episode, the one with a phoenix birthmark on her forehead, it's me"
Reba explained with a grin.
"It's a baby, when will it grow up?"
"Mom
This is a TV series, and when I wait for a few episodes to appear again, I will naturally be an adult."
Reba's mother nodded.
"Your drama is really well filmed, the set is beautiful, the plot is also attractive, your two bosses are tall and handsome, the other is cute and beautiful, and they are quite a match"
Although her mother is boasting about her TV series, this is not so comfortable in Reba's ears.
She smiled reluctantly.
"After all, it cost a lot of money, and it is absolutely well made.
Mom, you can watch it every night if you don't have anything to do, and I'll come back with you early if it's time to get off the show."
"Okay~
However, I'll talk to your dad about it and I'll go back after a few days."
"Why are you in such a hurry, you two stay longer?"
Reba was a little reluctant.
"Shanghai is not our home after all, I will get together with you with your mother for the New Year, and it is no problem to stay here for a few days to accompany you, but I will go back anyway."
I still have some work on the Frontier Song and Dance Troupe, and we have to visit relatives when we go back."
"Got it"
Reba was a little depressed, but she also knew that her father was right.
Everyone has their own inherent life circle, her family environment is also superior since she was a child, her father is the lead singer of the Frontier Song and Dance Troupe, she is well-known in the local area, and her mother also has her own circle of friends in her hometown.
She couldn't have let her parents out of their comfort and come to a completely unfamiliar place because she had brought them away.
January 30, 2017, the third day of the Lunar New Year.
During this New Year's holiday, countless young people watched the TV at night, watching their long-awaited [Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms] like Reba.
Blueberry Stand.
Since the premiere of "Three Lives and Three Worlds", Director Liu of the film buying department has always been concerned about the ratings of this TV series.
Fortunately, as he thought, the ratings of the TV series skyrocketed at the beginning, breaking 1 in the first broadcast, and the ratings at the highest point broke 1.5.
Looking at the broadcast data of the first day of [Three Lives and Three Worlds] in his hand, Director Liu couldn't help but smile on his face.
"There is really no problem with betting on Gu Wei, he and Yang Mi are completely the guarantee of ratings"
Director Liu first worked under Deputy Director Xiao of Blueberry Channel, and he was a first-hand witness to Director Xiao's strong proposal to buy the copyright of [Smile Very Alluring].
It turns out that Director Xiao's choice is decisive and wise, and the final explosion of that drama brought very high benefits to Blueberry Channel.
This time, Gu Wei's [Three Lives and Three Worlds] was eyed when he first started the project, and later when he bought the broadcast rights, because the funds approved by the station were not enough to compete with Mango Channel, he took the initiative to communicate with Shanghai Dragon TV, and the two jointly bought the first round of broadcast rights.
Now it seems that he did the right thing.
"Director, Dragon TV's ratings have also broken 1, because their TV station is not as famous as ours, and the average ratings are slightly lower than ours."
"Very good, the first broadcast of the double channel broke 1, and the follow-up word-of-mouth keeps up, [Three Lives and Three Worlds] will almost be the first drama king at the beginning of this year!
How's it going to be over there? ”
Director Liu was happy and didn't forget to care about his old rival.
"At the same time as us, Mango Channel's [Lonely Fang Doesn't Appreciate Yourself] launched at the beginning of this month.
Although this drama has been complained about by netizens, relying on the popularity of baby and Zhong Hanliang, the ratings of CSM52 city network and the national network have always been the first in the same period before today.
However, after the broadcast of [Three Lives and Three Worlds] today, the ratings of [Lonely Fang Don't Appreciate Yourself] have dropped a little, from 1.25 yesterday to 0.93, ranking behind our station and Dragon TV."
