Chapter 36: The Record Shredder (4/5)

"Walking with God" strikes and faces Hollywood blockbusters strongly!

Here's a lot of press releases...

It's embarrassing, there is a feeling that I am not Chinese without looking ...

It's really not a press release issued by the Mengxi publicity team, it was written by many self-media, and then quoted by the website.

There is no way, not only the General Administration is in a hurry, but also the theater chain is in a hurry - the fund return policy stipulated in the "Notice on Returning the Special Funds for Screening Domestic Films and Handing Over Films" is more favorable to theaters.

5% of the special fund is not a decimal, you can get it back, of course you want to get it back!

Let's put it this way, on the first day, 48% of the film schedule for "Walking with God" was given, and 34,000 screenings were arranged!

In comparison, the film schedule of "Daming Gorilla" is 18%...

Don't look at the difference of only 30%, the number of sessions and time periods arranged, there is a world of difference!

......

"You've got meat on your belly!"

“... Nonsense, without meat on the belly, is it still human?"

Shen Mengxi had just been pressed by a hundred-pound body for half an hour, and he was very tired!

Don't want to talk right now...

"Hey, hey..."

The young lady kissed his face flatteringly, got into his arms, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

Shen Mengxi began to think about the relationship between human beings and the universe...

After thinking about it for a while, I quietly pushed her away, and prepared to go to the study to see the word-of-mouth of "Walking with God" and the box office data of the midnight show...

After all, production + publicity, 330 million, is still very nervous.

This feeling... I just want you to buy a courier, you know what it is, but you still want to take it apart quickly...

Well, it's not exact, so in another way, I made an appointment with a new tea from 1980 through a tea merchant, will I be eager to see the real face?

The principle is the same.

The reputation of "Walking with God" will definitely not be bad, and the advance scene, media field, and film critic show have all been publicized.

Although the word of mouth of film critics has little impact, the... Anyway, it's not bad for money, and it won't make a difference if you hold an event.

"Walking with God", Nortel released a round, Chinese opera played a round, including the Academy of Fine Arts once - Wu Ershan is a graduate of the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and later applied for the Nortel directing major.

Now, these 'reviews' have been sprinkled all over the Internet:

Hell persuades kindness for a few days to satirize reality, and the old theme plays new tricks. The story is brilliant, you know it's a routine, but you still cry, special effects... Amazing and highly recommended!'

"Shen Mengxi has a lot of fun, the story of the mortal world is relatively mediocre, and there are a few trials that are almost child's play, but the story framework of the seven trials and the setting of the Hell Messenger are very good, I believe that countless series of movies can be derived, and even a movie universe can be created!"

'The depth of the theme, the design of the story, the skill of the performance, the grasp of the rhythm, the beauty of the picture... It has almost achieved the extreme of existing domestic films, and it is highly recommended, and in addition, this movie can pass the review, Shen Mengxi is really amazing!'

The last sentence is the most quoted sentence in many new evaluations: Zhen Nyima, we actually filmed the Hell Trial, and it was released?

By the way, there is another comment, what Shen Mengxi didn't expect: After watching "Walking with God", I just want to sigh that the "Yin Yang Road" series has not been able to become bigger and stronger, it's a pity!

"Yin Yang Road"?

Alas... Hong Kong-style ghost movies!

The 90s of the last century was a peak of Hong Kong horror films, which produced a number of horror movies with the characteristics of that era, such as "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village", "Murder List", "Strange Talk Association", etc., and also produced a group of horror movie professionals of that era, such as the ghost bharan.

The quality of the films is uneven, and most of them change directions after filming.

However, there is one movie, which has been filmed 19 times in seven years since 1997, and it has become a series.

It's just that with more and more shooting, the follow-up works are nothing more than hanging the title of this film, but in fact, its content is not very good...

This is "Yin Yang Road"...

There are gods in the head, and morality and faith are actually of the same origin: only when there is reverence in the heart can we behave in accordance with the rules.

In a sense, it's quite similar to "Walking with God", but unfortunately, the pattern of that film is too small...

Retracted his mind and looked at the box office information: "Walking with God: Crime and Punishment" received 9 million at the box office at zero o'clock, setting a record for domestic films at zero o'clock, second only to "Transformers 3" (12 million) and "Titanic" (3D version, 10 million) Two Hollywood super productions, ranking third in the box office of zero point screenings in Chinese mainland film history.

Shen Mengxi probably knew the situation, logged on to Weibo, and wrote a paragraph: ""Walking with God" is a trilogy model, and the first part has many places that the audience thinks are redundant, but in fact, the second part of the plot cuts into..."

......

In fact, when the midnight record of "Walking with God" was released, many netizens were dismissive.

"No matter how you brag about it, no matter how "bunker" you are, domestic movies will always be garbage-level, and they can't be put on the stage!"

"Garbage films, do you dare to bring in Spider-Man and Batman?"

"Junk movie! If you have Prometheus and The Amazing Spider-Man at the same time, who is going to watch this?"

"Only SB will go to see this movie!"

Most of this kind of remarks are on the forum, time...

Weibo, is mostly praised...

Let's talk about the domestic film protection month!

It's useless, this kind of rhetoric has not become mainstream ...

"Walking with God" 76 million on the first day;

88 million the next day;

On the third day of release, June 30, Saturday, the single-day box office was 110 million;

On the fourth day, the box office was 85 million...

Four days on the first weekend, the box office was 359 million!

Seven major records, including the box office record of the zero point screening, the first-day box office record, the single-day box office record, the fastest record of over 200 million, the fastest record of over 300 million, the box office record of the first weekend of Chinese films in the mainland, and the single-week box office record of Chinese films!

The most important thing is that the reputation of the movie is also very good, with a Douban score of 7.6 points and a Time.com score of 7.8 points...

......

Shenzhen publicity.

Wu Ershan said very sincerely: "I really want to thank the audience for understanding such good results, in fact, "Walking with God" has many shortcomings, many friends told me that the narrative of the movie is a bit cumbersome, up to 130 minutes, in fact, it can be trimmed..."

"When we were filming, we really didn't think about it that much, our main purpose was to release it..."

"This film has a lot of shortcomings objectively, and the reason why it succeeded at the box office is mainly because of the audience's tolerance and knowing our efforts, they don't have Hollywood's special effects technology, and many shots of the movie are done manually;"

Mengxi often emphasizes that the final "completion" of a work must be that it is watched in the theater, and it can only be called "completed" after it has an audience. So the audience is also part of the work, and the success of the film is not simply determined by the creator.

"If a work doesn't have an audience, it's not at all whether it's finished or whether it's successful. So our success actually comes from the audience's tolerance and support and understanding of us. ”

In the words of the old gentleman: "The audience is generous, and the shortcomings have been seen, but they don't say it." ”

This response is timely, because this weekend "Search" was released ...
