"This is by no means a movie that pays tribute to [Avatar] - watching [Mermaid] has feelings", this is a film review that Zhou Limin rushed out overnight, he doesn't know if it's right to write this, but at least this is what he wants to express most emotionally.

"Hollywood film critics say that "The Mermaid" is about love, about environmental protection, about class oppression and revolution. But after I watched the movie at Zero, I thought it was a fairy tale. A fairy tale that belongs to the mermaid told by countless people, who Fang told it again from the perspective of reality and pathos.

I don't know what his inspiration was, but I can imagine that maybe he imagined that when he fantasized about mermaids, he would think about what would happen if mermaids appeared in the current world. Perhaps, like the specimen of the mermaid in the Museum of Exotic Beasts at the beginning of the movie, it is an air-dried salted fish body with a plastic human head.

What is a fairy tale? The prince falls in love with the princess, and the good guy defeats the bad guy. Shanshan is the princess of the mermaid clan, although Liu Xuan is not said to be the prince of the human race, but he has also become a model of merit. There is another characteristic of fairy tales, and that is that everything is a condemnation of sin, a praise of the beautiful......

Fairy tales are a kind of romantic feelings, and the combination of joy and sorrow, oppression and resistance, interest love and simple true feelings are all like fairy tales with romantic feelings. He Fang's new film is clearly about environmental protection, but in fact it is a literary artistic re-creation ......"

A new interpretation is coming again, as if "The Mermaid" has been pushed to the height of philosophy and thought one after another.

He Fang saw these various interpretations, he was also drunk, but he couldn't stop other people's associations, nor could he stop other people's interpretations, this is the sublimation of others' thoughts through his films, why stop it?

It's just that...... Isn't that too much?

So, He Fang took a photo of him smoking, uploaded it to the Internet, and wrote this paragraph:

"Is this smoke? Let me think...... This is the burning thoughts, the loneliness suspended in the air, the breath in the depths of the soul, the melancholy in the mouth, and the stillness that melts into the breath...... It is also the loneliness that sneaks into the night, the joys and sorrows of endless meditation, the accelerator of years, and the catalyst of dreams...... So is this smoke still smoke? Yes and no. Cigarettes haven't changed, but different people who smoke will feel differently, and I hope you smoke the way you want to smoke. In the same way, a movie is a movie, and everyone has different feelings and different interpretations. ”

He Fang originally wanted to send a text to euphemistically say that the movie interpretation of this thing can be viewed objectively, and don't load too many additional thoughts.

Jingguo, under his comment area, it was like a car that had been stepped on the gas pedal, flying ......

"Very well, where is this writing poetry? Then I'll have a paragraph too. Where is the picture of cigarettes, then I have a picture of wine! Is this wine? Let me think...... This is a river with temperature, a muddy water that has been waded through, a good medicine in a bleak and dull day, a trivial thing that falls into the belly, a tiredness that melts the blood, a hot heart, and a future with tears in its eyes...... Is this wine still wine? Yes and no. The wine hasn't changed, but the people who drink it are different and feel different......"

"I'm sorry, do you have to have such a threshold to watch a movie now? Can't write some chicken blood text and don't let you read it? Okay, since you have to write it, then I'll write it too. You have written all the tobacco and alcohol, so I'll write tea......"

"Huh? What's the new way to play? Tobacco, wine and tea are all written, so I'll write color......"

"Someone has even written about it? Then I write...... Bet? Is this a gamble......"

"Hey, where are the co-authors brought to understand eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling? So what do I write? I can't write about poison, can I? ……”

……

On the first day of the global simultaneous release, it was only the Eastern Hemisphere that was being released, and He Fang sat in the middle of the night in the Western Hemisphere looking at the crooked building playing on the Internet, and he couldn't do anything, forget it, wash and sleep, how do they want to go......

Although He Fang doesn't care about the development of "The Mermaid" after its release, its popularity is still very high, don't shout He Fang's popularity is secondary, and tracking the box office of the movie is not enough to reflect the good of the movie.

Shouldn't his movie be high at the box office? Unless one day it says that the movie collapses, then it's big news.

No, on the first day of release on July 5, the box office in Chinese mainland won 198.17 million, 198 million, a single day, this is only Friday, what is this concept? Ten years ago, the one-day box office of "The Mermaid" was the box office of an annual box office champion.

However, ten years ago, in 2003, the total number of movie screens in the country was only 1,800, and after He Fang's catfish stirred the water in 2009, it took three or four years in advance for Chinese films to vigorously develop the expansion of the theater chain, and now the number of screens in China has exceeded 32,000, which is a huge difference in quantity.

As the saying goes, quantitative changes will produce qualitative changes, and the more people who watch the movie, the more theaters there are, so the box office of a single film also rushes very fast.

Some people also asked some professionals in the industry on this issue, such as Wu Hehu of Shanghai Lianhe, who said: "It is normal for the box office of "Mermaid" to exceed 200 million in a single day, after all, the number of screens and the number of moviegoers are not the same as before. ”

Gao Jun's answer from the Beijing New Film Association also had a similar meaning: "Don't be surprised, it's not surprising that the total box office of the head movies every year exceeds 2 billion, but to break 2 billion, it is normal for the box office to break 200 million in a single day."

There are two reasons for such a strong market development, one is that excellent movies have driven the audience to enter the cinema more and more frequently, and the other is that the expansion of the theater has also made it more and more convenient for the audience to watch movies.

Speaking of convenience, the rise of online ticketing has made young people want to go to the cinema more and more, because they can know in advance which movie is rated and what the ticket price is, and which nearby theater has seats nearby.

Therefore, there are many reasons for the box office growth and the rapid development of the film industry. Including some policy factors, such as the self-regulation of the industry at the beginning of the year, the quality of more and more film and television works has been greatly improved. ”

And Tian Liang, the person in charge of the affairs of the Lake Film International Cinema Line, replied very differently: "In fact, such a development is predictable, in 09, Director He Fang proposed that the box office market of Chinese films will increase from two or three billion yuan a year to nearly 70 billion yuan a year in the next 10 years, but no one believed it at that time."

However, we in the lake shadow believe it. Therefore, in recent years, we have stepped up the expansion of theaters, and also improved the quality and management services of theaters. Facts have proved that the spurt growth of the film industry that director He Fang once said is taking shape, and it is now the golden period of Chinese film development.

The so-called daily box office of more than 200 million is still just news, and it may no longer be news next year, Director He Fang once predicted that the peak of the domestic single-film box office will be between 50-6 billion, and it is far from reaching. ”

"A single film box office reaches 50-6 billion? So, what kind of concept does that have to be? The reporter asked in disbelief.

According to Director He Fang, that is the market with an annual box office of about 70 billion, the number of movie screens is about 70,000, and the number of moviegoers is about 1.8 billion. That is, this will be a peak of our Chinese films, and it will be difficult to go up again, unless our population increases from nearly 1.4 billion to 2 billion. Tian Liang spoke eloquently, like a planner pointing out the future.

"So, we're only about a third of the peak now, and we still have two or three times the number of screens, the number of moviegoers, and the total box office growth?" The journalist asked.

"Yes, in the future, the Chinese film market is expected to become the world's largest film market, which will cross North America, after all, there are not more than 400 million people in North America, but there are nearly 14 people in Chinese mainland alone, and there is no pressure to become the world's largest box office market." Tian Liang spread his hands and said in high spirits.

Tian Liang is obviously filming He Fang's sycophant, and he is also filming the sycophant of He Ben, the general manager of Huying Group, in disguise.

With the voices of the most authoritative and professional people in the film industry, the public is now aware of the bright future of Chinese films, and both the industry and ordinary audiences are very positive and optimistic.

And who brought all this?

Professor Yin of the China Film Association told reporters: "There are three main reasons why Chinese films have formed the current super-rapid development momentum. First, China's accession to the WTO has forced our film market to be in line with international standards, and 2,000 years ago, our films were still dominated by literary and artistic films.

After all, the commercial market is rotten, no one enters the cinema, and the movie can't sell at the box office. Therefore, at that time, literary films could win awards abroad with bonuses, and they could also sell the film to foreign markets with box office or copyright income. Therefore, in order to make money, pick up art and put down business, this is the helplessness of the times.

To join the WTO, we must crack down on piracy and rebuild cinemas. Then Hollywood blockbusters were introduced, and domestic blockbusters also rose, and the audience slowly returned to the theater to reluctantly make our commercial films.

The second reason is the re-industrialization of films, or the road of film commercialization, initiated by He Fang and Huying Group. When He Fang and the Lake Film Group first started to do this, they were opposed and criticized by many people, including me who also said some unfavorable remarks at the time.

But after a few years it turned out that the path was right. I think that pure literary films or simple commercial films are not a reasonable development path, and our literary films also need to be developed at the right time.

As for the third reason, it is policy. In 2011, we issued the "Guiding Opinions on the Development of the Film Industry", coupled with the "Industry Development Specifications" drafted and led by Director He Fang at the beginning of this year, this series of policy changes have given the industry some new cumulative wind directions. ”

Professor Yin analyzed them one by one.

"What do you think of the analysis data of He Fang's analysis of the future of cinema relayed by Lake Shadow Tian Liang? Do you think what you say is reliable? The reporter asked, which made Professor Yin a little embarrassed.

"I can't say this either, after all, it's predictive data. However, according to some of Director He Fang's previous predictions, it turns out that his predictions are still relatively reliable. So, whether we believe it or not, but we can refer to his data to see that this is not a bad thing. ”

……

The global word-of-mouth and box office data are quite excellent, whether it is domestic or foreign, the score is between 7-9 points, which is a qualified and excellent commercial film.

The box office in the first three days of the domestic market was 198 million, 247 million, and 269 million respectively, and the box office in the first three days reached 714 million yuan.

The first three days of the first week in North America were also relatively eye-catching, and they finally broke through a certain spell before He Fang, and it is no longer the first-week box office of more than 10 million. 18.04 million US dollars, 21.67 million, 23.51 million, and the total box office in three days was 63.22 million. Hollywood box office experts predict that "The Mermaid" will break $200 million at the North American box office, which will be the new high for the North American box office.

The box office in the rest of the world in the first three days was $44.61 million, $52.87 million, and 57.11 million respectively, with a total of $154 million in the three days.

The beautiful data and good results make several main creators a little dreamy, Deng Chao is a little better, after all, he has also acted in "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", and he can be regarded as an international high-grossing actor.

But Zhang Yuqi, Ying Tian, and Shen Teng are completely the first time to get such a high box office, or in the world, this time their global publicity will also really push them to internationalization, and the companies and agents behind them are crazy.

And the investors and brokers of other companies are eager to hug the thighs of the other company immediately, just to bring a belt, this temptation is too great, who can resist it?

Jing Tian was even blown by the media as the second-generation 'Fang girl', and the company behind her spent money to buy the draft as if she didn't want money, and the blow was crazy.
