"What a romantic romance movie."

"It's a bit of a predestined fate."

Outside the Beijing Light and Shadow Times Cinema, Zhu Yilong and Yang Rong walked out of the theater and chatted with interest about the movie they had just watched.

Although they are also signed artists in the Light and Shadow Era, they did not participate in the internal premiere of "Love Letter" before.

Now there are more and more signed artists in the era of light and shadow, and there are almost more than 30 signed artists under it, most of whom have no friendship with Wu Yuan, and may not even have seen Wu Yuan since they signed into the company.

Of course, these newcomers will not be invited by Wu Yuan to an internal premiere dominated by his friends.

However, Zhu Yilong and Yang Rong still bought movie tickets to watch this movie.

The movie directed and starred by the company's big boss himself, it is too much to say if he doesn't support it.

They are the newcomer actors that the company will be promoting in the next stage.

The movie "Soul Ferry: Yellow Spring" starred the two of them, Zhu Yilong played the Shushan monk Changsheng, and Yang Rong played Meng Po Sanqi.

For this movie, the two spent almost two years of time and energy from the preparation stage to the upcoming release.

For a rookie actor, there are few two years to waste.

The two of them completely gambled their acting careers on this movie.

However, for this movie, whether it is Yang Rong or Zhu Yilong, they are very confident.

Not to have confidence in yourself, but to have confidence in the company.

After all, this is a film project that Director Wu personally pays attention to and arranges, and it is an important layout of the company's next stage of the movie universe.

In addition, "Soul Ferry" was originally blessed by the popularity of TV series, and now the "Soul Ferry" web series has been broadcast for the third season, becoming one of the hottest TV drama IPs in the mainland, and it is also the originator of online dramas, harvesting a large number of young audiences.

It can be said that the movie "Soul Ferry" is one of the best IPs in China, and the probability of success is still very high.

"The box office of "Love Letter" has broken 150 million, right?"

"As a romance film, this box office result is already very profitable."

Although he said so, Zhu Yilong's expression was still full of regret.

Perhaps the box office result of 150 million yuan cannot be considered bad for any domestic director, including Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou and others.

Chen Kaige's "Zhao's Orphan" has a box office of only 220 million, and Zhang Yimou's Hawthorn Tree Love has a box office of 160 million.

Not to mention that "Love Letter" has broken the single-day box office record for domestic romance films, and it is currently the film with the highest single-day box office record.

No matter from which point of view, this small-budget romance film with an investment of less than 10 million has achieved incomparably brilliant success.

However, the director of this film is Wu Yuan.

Under the reflection of Wu Yuan's brilliant achievements in the past, the box office results of "Love Letter" are really nothing, and even "Your Name" can't be compared.

No way, times are different.

When "Your Name" was released, there were not many domestic movies, and there were even fewer good movies, and the entire market was in urgent need of a movie that could bring audiences across the country into cinemas.

In this case, "Your Name" produced a siphon-like effect of thousands of empty alleys, dominating all the movie theaters, and just happened to cause a sensation in colleges and universities, which can create such a phenomenal achievement.

is like the phenomenal performance of "Hero" back then, even Zhang Yimou himself can't reproduce it again.

The phenomenal success of "Your Name" is also something that Wu Yuan can't replicate.

Even if the domestic box office market has increased tenfold now, when seven or eight movies are released together in the same period, and domestic audiences have more choices, the final box office of "Love Letter" is estimated to be around 200 million, which is about the same as "Your Name".

This box office result may have been an exaggerated phenomenal box office ten years ago, but now, it can't even enter the top five of this year's domestic film box office list, and if you count imported films, it will be difficult to enter the top ten.

Although the cost of "Love Letter" is less than 10 million, it can have a box office of about 200 million, which can already reach a revenue ratio of 1 to 20, which can definitely sit firmly on the throne of the movie with the highest revenue ratio this year.

However, more people are still paying attention, the box office of 200 million does not seem to be worthy of Wu Yuan, the "king of the box office", it seems that his movie, as long as it does not win the mainland box office champion, it is a substandard performance.

Who called him his previous commercial films, almost every one of them won the mainland box office champion, and even won the mainland box office record many times.

"Wu Yuan's new film won 150 million at the box office! But the stamina has declined, and I am afraid that Jiang Lang will be exhausted! ”

"Four years of sharpening a sword, but the box office is less than 200 million, Wu Yuan's undefeated myth is over?!"

"Wu Yuan's new film is cold, and the king of the mainland box office loses for the first time!"

Many media reporters were hyping up Wu Yuan's "box office Waterloo" for the first time, and reported at length that Wu Yuan's new movie was cold at the box office.

The box office expectation of 200 million can be described as "cold", maybe this is really a treatment that only Wu Yuan can enjoy.

Of course, not all media outlets are so exaggerated.

There are also many media that are objectively evaluating the results of the movie "Love Letter".

"An unseen and unhearable love that spans more than a hundred years."

"There aren't any scenes in the film that are so elaborate that you can admire, but they can keep your breath and your heart racing again and again."

"For example, when Wei Lai and Jiang Lan sensed each other on the stairs when they went to an old house for the first time, it was actually a very simple shot, but it was just a very simple shot, but it made people concentrate, and they could even feel the sense of existence a hundred years apart that they should feel."

"The intuition and coincidence that people who love each other in the same scene can feel."

"The original soundtrack is also very appropriate, eloquent, and affectionate."

"Finally, you met him at that time, he met her in this time and space, and the end is a faint sadness accompanied by the coming full happiness, which makes people sigh."

——"Film Society Review"

Zhu Yilong, who left the theater, bought this newspaper about movie reviews on the street, and the headline on the front page was a long film review of "Love Letter".

There is no doubt that this film is definitely one of the best works among mainland romance films in recent years.

In this era of impetuousness, this kind of slow and sincere love is really rare, and this kind of romance can only be found in movies.

With a box office expectation of 200 million, for such a low-cost romance film, it is really beyond the standard, and it can't be too demanding.

"On Douban, Director Wu's "Love Letter" has a high score, it seems to have a score of 8.1." Standing beside Zhu Yilong, Yang Rong said softly: "Most of the viewers who watched this movie gave a high word-of-mouth evaluation, thinking that this is the best romance film in recent years. ”

"Now on Weibo, "Love Letter" has also received a super high word-of-mouth evaluation."

Those media's remarks about disparaging Director Wu have no effect at all, as long as they have watched the movie, they will scoff at their statement that "Director Wu Jianglang is exhausted". ”

"Many people think that this movie is Director Wu's love confession to Liu Yifei, especially the song "Lover Missed" written by Director Wu himself."

As he spoke, Yang Rong also hummed the chorus he had heard many times in the theater.

"I'm sure I said I loved you hundreds of years ago."

"It's just that you forgot, and I didn't remember either~" (end of this chapter)
