On August 1st, a new month arrived.

As soon as "Jaws: Revenge" was released, it replaced "Red Cliff", which had a weak box office, and became the new overlord of the summer file.

The first day of the 30th was 8.4 million, the 31st was 9.5 million, and the 1st was 10.2 million, and the single-day box office crossed the 10 million mark.

On Saturday the 2nd, the single-day box office reached 11.8 million.

On Sunday the 3rd, the box office fell, but it still exceeded 10 million, with a single-day harvest of 10.6 million.

In the first week of release, the total box office in five days was as high as 50.5 million.

This week, "Red Cliff" only got more than 26 million box office.

"Jaws: Revenge" interrupted the single-day box office champion of "Red Cliff" for 20 consecutive days from the first day of release on the 30th.

won the daily crown for five consecutive days and won the first weekly box office championship!

"Jaws: Revenge" has kept the summer file as hot as it should be, and it has become one of the most watched movies in the film market now.

There is no way, the lineup and total box office of "Red Cliff" are there, even if the box office continues to decline, but the popularity and exposure are not bad at all.

However, compared with the boasting at the beginning of the release, there are now a lot of scolding and ridicule.

The media is like this, when your movie is hot, they desperately blow you, but if the reputation is not good, they will definitely follow the audience and spray mercilessly.

Even many media began to arrange the inside story of casting, what called Zhao Wei and said that you are an actress I have admired for a long time, but Zhao Wei was fooled into being a supporting actress for Lin Zhiling.

said something serious, which caused dissatisfaction among Zhao Wei's fans, and some of them began to scold Wu Yusen.

After experiencing the praise of the first release, Wu Yusen is very depressed when he looks at so many complaints and scoldings from the outside world.

"What is the origin of this Jaws: Revenge?"

Looking at the news on the Internet and looking at last week's box office data, Wu Yusen's face was full of unhappiness.

Wu Bo sighed, "A sequel to an online movie, the popularity is quite good. ”

"Online movies?"

Seeing that Wu Yusen didn't know what this thing was, Wu Bo introduced him a little.

Hundreds of thousands of costs, a crew of more than a dozen people, and more than ten days of filming time?

The corners of Wu Yusen's mouth twitched, "Isn't this just the same as a shelter company specializing in copycats, this kind of movie can also be released in theaters, and it won 50 million box office in five days?"

He was full of disbelief, what could a crew of this size shoot?

The refuge plagiarized "Pirates of Treasure Island" from "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Sunday College Musical" from "Youth Musical", and "Da Vinci Treasure" from "The Da Vinci Code".

Such an online university actually threw off his carefully crafted blockbuster "Red Cliff" at the box office!

The first part of "Jaws: Revenge" has a high number of broadcasts on the Internet, and it is conservatively estimated that at least more than 4 million viewers have watched it, and the popularity is not low, and Li Qian also hung the name of a producer for promotion. ”

"Li Qian, is that the rookie director who broke 100 million in his first movie?"

Although he doesn't care about the mainland film industry, he was busy with "Red Cliff" before, but he still knows about movies with a box office of more than 100 million.

"That's right, it's him, he made the first part of "Jaws", and the second part was made by his previous executive director. ”

Wu Bo nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Li Qian didn't have to do it himself, just looking for someone else to make a sequel to his previous movies, the box office was properly hundreds of millions.

It would be nice if he could have pulled him over, with "Red Cliff" and Li Qian, Chengtian would be able to leave Huayang and Bernard behind at least this year and next year.

However, I don't know which of the other party's tendons is wrong, and the person he sent didn't even see each other, and he was too crazy.

Hearing this, Wu Yusen's ears are even more unpleasant, a director who has made a movie, let the executive director make a sequel to the previous movie, and he can carefully make himself and spend tens of millions of dollars to create the blockbuster "Red Cliff".

Even though it has been released for the fourth week, Wu Yusen is extremely unhappy.

Even blockbusters like "The King of Kung Fu" have avoided "Red Cliff" and raised the file, this summer should have been him, the international director Wu Yusen swept the mainland film industry!

However, I didn't expect a "Jaws" to pop up halfway, this film is just a sequel to the Internet University, and the director is still Li Qian, who has not won more than 100 million box office, but is just an executive director under Li Qian.

Even if it is released in the late stage, Wu Yusen can't accept being pressed under such a movie.

According to his thoughts, the summer file should be a devastating crush, but now it has a little flaw!

......

"Jaws: Revenge" trampled on the rampant summer "Red Cliff", which was not expected by everyone a month ago.

Even if "Red Cliff" has been released for 20 days when it is released, it is still the largest Chinese-language blockbuster since the new century.

It's just that I didn't expect the box office of "Red Cliff" to drop so quickly, and there were only more than 20 million left in the fourth week.

And "Jaws" broke 50 million in five days, which was also unexpected by everyone, even if the first Internet University already had a high popularity, but after all, it was just a network university, and it was not directed by Li Qian.

But the fact is that "Jaws: Revenge" swept all the movies of the same period, although there were only a few in total.

The media is naturally a big book, a rookie director, 50 million in five days, even more awesome than Li Qian's "Frequency of Life and Death".

As for the addition of the previous work and Li Qian, these have been ignored by the media.

Just blow hard!

Five days after its release, the response from film critics was still mediocre, and many people were even spraying this movie for copying the first part, purely fried cold rice.

However, the response from the audience was very good, and it was the complete opposite.

At the same time, there was also a costume comedy "Ten Perfect" released, which was released on the 1st, and won nearly 7 million box office in the first three days, which is very good.

But this is a purely patchwork spoof film, all the comedy elements are spoofs, but there are always audiences with relatively low laughs, otherwise it would not have won nearly 7 million box office in three days.

And "127 Hours" received 2.1 million on the first day, 2.5 million on the second day, 3.2 million on Saturday on the third day, another 3 million on Sunday, and a total of 10.6 million in the four days of the first weekend.

Four days have not been as high as "Jaws: Revenge" for one day.

However, the reputation of "127 Hours" is indeed the best among the movies currently being released, whether it is film critics, the media, or the audience's word-of-mouth, except for a few who feel fake and boring, the vast majority of them are praise.

"127 Hours—How Much Does Life Count?"

A well-known film critic talked about such a high-end topic of life.

"If one end of the scale is your life and the other is 100,000 yuan, what would you choose? If it was 1 million? Well, you said you were poor and didn't have that much money.

Okay, let's change the option, this time you definitely have, what about an arm? Wait, an arm is not enough, you have to cut it off yourself, is this deal acceptable?

After watching the movie, I silently asked myself this question in my heart, although I wanted to say that I was a strong person, but I didn't want to lie, if I were faced with that situation, I would definitely not dare to use a knife as long as a finger of my hand, or cut off my arm little by little.

So, is life not worth an arm? or is it not worth the weakness of the heart?"

I thought I was going to talk about a lot of chicken soup, but it turned out to be otherwise.

However, there will never be a shortage of movie reviews that talk about big truths and chicken soup.

"What kind of will to survive is needed to make people willing to pay the price of their own broken bones amputated?" The film, which lasts more than an hour, gives the answer in the last minutes: to live. Suffering great suffering, the hero does not intend to save the world, all he wants is to continue to live. After 127 hours of struggle, dragging a broken arm, regaining a new life and reuniting with his family, marrying a wife and having children, and continuing his outdoor career, the answer is as simple as that. ”

"There will be many times in a person's life when they become very fragile, and even fragile to think that they are going to die. However, after watching "127 Hours", I think that 99 out of 100 people who feel that they are certain to die will find a reason to live. Really, after watching this film, I feel that I can do anything, as long as I want to do it, I can definitely achieve it. When I saw all kinds of life faces, I felt that life can really have all kinds of possibilities, and the reason why human life is so valuable is precisely because of its infinite possibilities. ”

"I like a line in the movie very much, "This stone has been waiting for me in my life, since the meteorite hundreds of millions of years ago, waiting here" Why haven't we met the boulder that hit, sooner or later, it will find us.

When you encounter this stone that has been waiting for you, when you have tried various methods, when you regret it deeply, when you are on the verge of physical and mental collapse, will you give up on yourself?

I think that the audience who has watched the movie "127 Hours" will at least have more courage than before when you encounter the stones of the boulder in the future. ”

......

Film critics and ordinary viewers usually don't look at a movie from the same angle, and if they really have the same taste as the audience, then it's not a film critic, who still reads their reviews.

Zhang Weiping once said that the film can't be shown to film critics or experts first, if they all say it, the film will be finished, and the audience will not be able to watch it.

Although biased, many blockbuster movies also have a very good reputation among critics, and it does not affect the box office.

But for the vast majority of movies, this sentence is still half true, and the aesthetics of film critics are indeed different from most ordinary audiences.

For the movie "127 Hours", these professional film critics talk about life, fate, choice, life value, and nature.

Every time these film critics watch a movie, they can experience some life philosophies, and they are all philosophers.

But the vast majority of audiences, their first reaction after watching the movie is usually two words.

"Awesome!"

Or "it!"

Regardless of whether they are literate or not, these two words may be the most intuitive expression of their inner thoughts.

"I've been hungry for a few days, but in fact, the actor can eat his own hands, so that the hunger problem can be solved, and the remaining bones can be broken with stones or knives, I'm really a genius!"

"The sense of substitution is too strong, it's really desperate, I can empathize with every scene of the psychological description, Deng Chao's acting skills exploded this time!"

"With the last sawing scene, I think Deng Chao is qualified to win the actor!"

"If I had a knife, its last use would not be to amputate my limbs, but to stab myself, and I could not stand such physical torture or mental torture, and I would still be dead. ”

"No, I'll bet five cents, you won't dare to stab yourself, or choose to starve to death. ”

"Later, I played drinking water like sucking and blocking, and I was panicked when I watched it!"

"Hahahaha, my dad went to see this movie, and after it was over, he bought me a mobile phone yesterday and asked me to take it with me every day, whether it's after school or when I go out to play. ”

"This movie tells us that the key thing that can save lives must not be bought, I don't know if Ma Qingyang will hammer Li Qian to death after watching it!"

......

In the new week, Wang Changtian got up early in the morning on Monday, and he was in a good mood.

Humming an unknown tune in my heart, I came to the company.

First of all, I held a meeting with the heads of several departments in charge of propaganda and distribution early in the morning, and repeatedly emphasized the next propaganda work.

The two movies "Jaws: Revenge" and "127 Hours" were big hits, and the market in August was completely enviable.

"This Li Qian is really amazing!"

Wang Changtian didn't know how many times he sighed for Li Qian.

I was amazed by his big temper and confidence in large-scale movies, and dared to fight with Ma Xiaogang, the movie broke 50 million and 100 million, and after the film festival, he fought with Ma Xiaogang again.

But this time, even if he had enough understanding of Li Qian, Wang Changtian still had to be amazed.

Zhang Zhao nodded again and again, "Not only is he powerful, but even his two executive directors and assistant directors are not ordinary." ”

It's not ordinary, "Jaws: Revenge" is 50 million in five days, and breaking 100 million is ironclad.

That's it, the fame of the first part is there, and the first part was also filmed by Li Qian.

However, the movie "127 Hours" sold 10 million at the box office in four days, but it completely exceeded Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao's expectations.

Even if Deng Chao became famous because of "Assembly Number" and "Frequency of Life and Death", it was the No. 2 role.

And mainland actors have no box office appeal at all, which can be seen from the fact that the movies starring Zhao Wei and others are often millions.

The subject matter is niche again, and director Guo Fan is also an amateur director from a non-professional background.

Together, this combination sold 10 million box office in four days.

For a while, Wang Changtian was a little skeptical about his perception of the mainland film market.

It seems that the idea of "127 Hours" came from Li Qian, and I have talked to the two of them a few times, and the script and storyboard are all checked by Li Qian, which is not surprising. Zhang Zhao said again.

Wang Changtian nodded, that's reasonable, otherwise it would be outrageous to have two rookie directors who sold at the box office at once, or from the same director's subordinates.

The crew and the storyboard script are all controlled by Li Qian, and the post-editing may also be helped by Li Qian, and most of the credit goes to Li Qian.

It makes sense.

However, no matter what, for Wang Changtian and Guangxian, this is a good thing.

Relying on these two movies, Guangxian has become the unshakable overlord of the market in August in the summer file.

This is the only time since entering the film industry.

Huayang and Bernard can only watch from the side!

Wang Changtian was not wrong, Huang Zhongjun and Yu Dong were watching from the sidelines, and they almost drooled.

Yu Dong is better, "Ten Perfect" is released by Bernard, and "Red Cliff" also has a share of them, and they can make more or less money.

However, this does not prevent him from being hot for Li Qian, according to this situation, the two movies "Jaws: Revenge" and "127 Hours" together can at least get a box office of 150 million.

This is more than the box office of the two films that Bernard invested in March and April, "Three Kingdoms See the Dragon and Unload the Armor" and "The Beauty of the Country".

The investment in these two films, plus the publicity, is nearly 300 million!

And these two films, plus publicity and copying, will be 20 million in the sky.

It's not just a world of difference!

Jealous!

Envy, jealousy, hatred!

If the kidnapping was not illegal, he would want to kidnap Li Qian.

Not only can he make movies by himself, but he can also sell his projects, and one person is almost comparable to two big directors.

On the other side of Huayang Media, the Huang brothers are not like this.

That's right, Huang Zhongjun once again moved his mind to poach Li Qian.

In the past year, he didn't know how many times he had moved this idea.

"Big brother, he and Ma Xiaogang have scolded each other twice, and the tempers of the two of them are more stinky than the other, it's impossible. ”

Huang Zhonglei sighed, even if it was a little possible, he didn't mind lowering his posture and going to the door to invite Li Qian, as long as he pulled people over, everything was easy to talk about, and the rest would be talked about later.

Huang Zhongjun didn't know that Ma Xiaogang took the initiative to find trouble and scolded Li Qian twice, with his temper, he must have hated Huayang together.

A young man who is arrogant and arrogant, don't think about it if you want him to join Huayang in this case.

But.

Huang Zhongjun suddenly thought of something, "Zhonglei, how about Qi Yukun, the director of "Jaws: Revenge", and Guo Fan, the director of "127 Hours"?"

"Big brother, you mean?"

Huang Zhonglei reacted immediately, this is because he has taken a fancy to these two rookie directors, and he has some doubts.

"Although these two films are big hits, the biggest element is Li Qian, "Jaws: Revenge" completely relies on the first part and Li Qian's fame, and when the second part was screened, most of the audiences were also aiming for Li Qian as the producer, and the screenwriter column still has Li Qian's name, otherwise it would be so easy to emerge so many directors who can sell at the box office. ”

There was a Ning Hao in 06, Li Qian in 07, and there are just two rookie directors who can sell at the box office in the past ten years, which shows how rare it is.

Originally, there was a Lu Chuan, and the circle had great expectations for him, and that was the result.

If Li Qian's two subordinates can become the next Ning Hao and Li Qian, then this probability is too outrageous, and it can't be that all the talents are so coincidental to run Li Qian.

He is not a magnet, he sucks talents to his side.

Although he agrees with Huang Zhonglei's statement, Huang Zhongjun still wants to try.

In this way, ask Chen Guozhang's opinion, he is a professional director, and he has also watched these two movies, and analyze the abilities of these two people from a professional point of view. ”

"It's okay"

Huang Zhonglei thought about it and nodded, I'd rather kill the mistake than let it go.

......

The summer file of 2008 has nothing to do with Li Qian, but "Jaws: Revenge" and "127 Hours" are all influenced by Li Qian.

The popularity of the two movies has also made Li Qian, an unrelated person, frequently mentioned in the industry.

This feeling is quite a bit of "Brother is no longer in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes are full of legends of the brothers".
