This means that the mainland has surpassed the United States to become the single market with the largest number of screens.

With a screen count of this magnitude, it can accommodate more than 8 movies in the same period.

This is also the reason why "Tang Detective 2" and "Operation Red Sea" can be put together.

This year's Spring Festival movie has been praised by the media as "the strongest Spring Festival movie in history". The number seems to be small, only 5 movies, but each one has a big background and is full of attractions.

"Monster Hunt 2" topped the list on its first day with a super-high 35.7% of the film schedule. The single-day box office of 540 million not only broke the domestic film record, but also surpassed the second place "Chinatown 2" by a full 200 million yuan——

Xuanfa is really not in vain.

However, the attendance rate of "Tang Detective 2" was as high as 76.1%, ranking first among the five movies.

"Journey to the West: The Kingdom of Daughters" followed closely behind, earning 180 million on the first day - as a gift from the company to Zhao Liying, this result is worthy of her.

"Operation Red Sea" performed slightly better, reporting 128 million.

But to be honest, the 16 million on the first day of "The Nineteenth Generation" is really miserable.

After Lao Guo saw this result, he never mentioned making movies again.

I don’t know what he said on the stage, whether the ticket stub of "The Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors" can be used to pay for a ticket to Deyunshe Commercial Performance.

"Monster Hunt 2" collapsed faster than Cheng Yu'an thought.

On the second day of the new year, "Monster Hunt 2" reported 370 million, a drop of 31.5%, while "Monster Hunt 2" reported 320 million. Compared with the 340 million on the first day, the decrease was negligible.

Other movies performed equally well.

On the first day of the new year, Cheng Yuan and Liu Yifei took their daughter out for an outing. There were too many people in the cinema, so the family did not watch a movie.

On the early morning of the second day of the second lunar month, grandma arrived at the hotel to take Cheng Mufan home.

"You have to listen to grandma, you know? Remember to send New Year greetings to my great-grandma and the others." Before going out, Liu Yifei was still telling her daughter, and then said to her mother, "Yesterday, my dad called me and told me to pick him up from Qiqi on the third day of the Lunar New Year."

"I understand." Liu Xiaoli said.

Cheng Mufan is her granddaughter and the granddaughter of An Shaokang. Although An has reorganized his family, there is no reason not to let him see his granddaughter.

After sending her daughter away, Cheng Yu'an let out a sigh of relief: "I finally sent her away. I have been tossing her for the past two days."

During last year's New Year, Cheng Mufan was only one and a half years old, and he didn't understand anything yet, so he spent the New Year in a blur.

She is two and a half years old this year and already knows how to eat. The couple has been tossing her around for the past two days, and she can't stay indoors except for three meals.

The crew resumed work in the second year of junior high school. The couple came to the set. The staff was already preparing, but they were still talking about several movies on the schedule.

There are praises and criticisms, but the overall evaluation of this year's Spring Festival stalls is very good.

"No wonder people say this year is the best. The overall quality is indeed far superior to previous years."

"Director, which film do you think will take first place this year?"

"Operation Red Sea." Cheng Yu'an said, "Actually, during the seven days of the Spring Festival, it should be "Tang Detective 2", but the overall box office champion of these films should be "Operation Red Sea"."

"Director, are commercial films with the main theme about to start?" Cheng Yu'an's assistant director asked.

"Why do you say that?" Cheng Yu'an wanted to hear what the other party thought.

"I won't mention the prefix. Look, "Wolf Warrior" has 500 million, "Operation Mekong" has 1 billion, "Wolf Warrior 2" has 5.6 billion, and although "Sky Hunter" has not done well, it still has 300 million.

, now the box office of "Operation Red Sea" exceeds 100 million every day, and you think it can win the championship. In recent years, many theme movies have done well."

"It's also possible that the market is getting bigger and there are more screens, so the starting point of the box office is higher?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"Then "The Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors" was rushed. According to what you said, the market has a large starting point and it is easy to make money. Then "The Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors" will not achieve this level. So I think the subject matter is a very important influence.

Because of this factor, the audience suddenly likes to watch blockbusters with main themes."

Cheng Yu'an laughed and said: "It's hard to say whether the audience likes us or not, but there is another reason why the main theme blockbusters have sold well in the past two years. We have grasped the narrative rules of the main theme blockbusters. That is to say, we know how to shoot the main theme. This is very good.

important."

"So is there a main theme behind the company?"

"Yes," Cheng Yu'an said, "the company has been making main themes since its establishment, from "Bright Sword", "Insidious" to "Operation Red Sea", basically every year. For the 70th anniversary next year, the company will definitely give you a gift, and there will be many movies for you

shoot."

When jobs are open, these people can make money.

Liu Yifei, who was touching up her makeup on the side, raised her concerns: "Will this turn the movie market into a theme store?"

"Why do you say that?" Cheng Yu'an asked Liu Yifei with a smile.

""Hero" ushered in the blockbuster era. In those few years, they all made blockbusters. In the first five or six years, youth movies were also like this. Now it's the turn of the main theme. But I feel that because of the special nature of the main theme movies, this trend will blow.

It’s better than all the previous themes.”

To be honest, Cheng Yu'an couldn't answer Liu Yifei's question, because he didn't know when the main theme would blow, but he was convinced of one thing: "The diversity of the film market must not be destroyed. Once the market is occupied by a certain theme,

It will bring a devastating blow to the market. One of the themes is to shoot flowers, and the audience will get tired of it after three to five years."

"Then Hollywood is full of superheroes now." Liu Yifei doesn't think the problem is as serious as he said.

"Hollywood can harvest box office all over the world, but we basically only have the local market. Compared with the rest of the world, our market is still too small. A single market is occupied by one theme. Think about it, movies released in three to five days are from the same genre.

Are you tired of the subject matter?" There is no overseas market for domestic films, so there is no way to release the pressure.

Cheng Yu'an said before that domestic filmmakers have found a way to shoot the main theme.

What Cheng Yu'an didn't say is that the methods currently mastered are still very single, and there are many ways to shoot the main theme. However, the methods currently mastered in China are very rudimentary - shouting slogans to stimulate emotions, and instilling eye drops into the audience's eyes.

The diversity of subject matter needs to be preserved, and the diversity of shooting methods also needs to be explored.

"So, give it to time." Cheng Yu'an thought of the future movie market and smiled bitterly, "The wave of blockbusters has passed, the wave of youth films has passed, and the wave of other themes will also pass. The root of the flourishing of movie themes is human beings.

A wild imagination.”

Cheng Yuan believes in time and movies.

But as her bed partner, Liu Yifei clearly felt her husband's worries about the uncertainty of the market's future.

Cheng Yu'an looked at Liu Yifei, and he knew that she knew his worries.
