Movie fans came out of the screening room one after another.
They have mixed emotions.
The fights in "Jin Yiwei" are mainly composed of close-ups and quick cuts, which enhance the sharp and cold effect. Jin Yiwei's use of Xiuchun Dao and other weapons in the unique close-up shots has a good sensory impact. The realism of the fighting has achieved what a movie should
Above some levels...
Many people were immersed in the world that this movie brought them. The hearty action scenes made them feel very enjoyable, but at the same time, they were shocked by the realistic ending with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.
Many people realize that this is a martial arts movie, but it explores human nature on a deeper level and depicts a story of a dynasty struggling to resist, but ultimately struggling like an ant.
Cruelty is the best interpretation of this movie!
As a very picky film critic, Ba Liming can naturally see that there are many shortcomings in the movie "Jinyiwei", such as misalignments in editing, insufficient lens language, including some plot twists...
However, this does not affect the overall amazing feeling this movie brings to him.
It’s hard to believe that this is a small-budget film with an investment of less than 10 million, which was still unknown two hours before its release, and no one paid much attention to it.
"How about it?"
"How was the movie?"
"Does it look good?"
“How are the special effects in this movie?”
"Is it a good fight? How does it compare to "Heroes"?"
"..."
The audience came out one after another.
Some spectators who had been waiting outside for a long time immediately gathered around and asked various questions.
When they received unanimously favorable responses, they felt relieved and ran to the ticket window to queue up to buy tickets.
They had just lined up, and before the team had even walked a few steps, they heard bursts of astonishment from the crowd.
"What? Today's items are sold out so quickly?"
"Weren't there a lot of empty tickets two hours ago?"
"They were all sold out so quickly?"
"this……"
"Even the seat in the front row has been taken away? We only have tickets for tomorrow?"
"What's going on?"
"Forget it, then let's do it tomorrow!"
incredible!
Two hours ago, there were still a large number of movie tickets for "The Golden Guard" available, but at this moment, they were all sold out!
Even when they asked the ticket clerk to check the tickets for the next day, the tickets for the second day were almost sold out.
……………………
There is something in this world called celebrity effect.
Zhou Yang, who just won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, explained this effect in a very intuitive way!
The promotional language of "Jinyiwei" has changed from the original slogan starring the original cast of "The Mine" to "Zhou Yang participated in the work".
After being labeled with this label, the attention of the small-budget movie "Jinyiwei" skyrocketed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just two hours, the popularity even surpassed that of "Roboman"!
In 2007, many filmmakers in the Chinese film industry were in a relatively round "foreign moon" state. Their subtle influence coupled with the fact that domestic films in recent years have really failed to live up to expectations, many films were made like jokes and were heartbreaking.
After winning the hearts of movie fans, domestic films have been labeled with various labels such as "floating movies", "bad movies", "junk movies", "money traps", etc. Many people even think that those overseas movies are the real movies!
In this general environment, some unpopular foreign film festivals are wildly popular. They often take their works abroad and come back. The foreign judges just give them a little nod and give them scraps, which is considered gold-plated and highly publicized, let alone an Oscar. Such a formal and prestigious award from Berlin!
and!
This is the first Oscar for Best Screenplay in Chinese film history!
This is an Oscar night where a large number of blockbuster movies are gathered. With an investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars, it beat a movie that invested tens of millions of dollars in epic special effects. When everyone was not optimistic about it, it broke through the siege and took home the award!
This is like a brilliant dawn in the darkness, sweeping away despair and gloom and bringing hope to everyone.
Uncontrollable enthusiasm and excitement surged in the hearts of movie fans. This enthusiasm had nowhere to vent, and eventually it all poured into the movie "The Golden Guard".
Low cost investment?
No big-name actors?
Are there no important promotional resources before the release?
When it is released together with a gorgeous and beautiful blockbuster like "Roboman", the film schedule space is squeezed?
Each of these can make movie fans criticize, and the fatal points that make the movie hit the market are not important at this moment!
There is only one sentence in the fans' minds: "This is a work in which Zhou Yang participated!"
This sentence seems to be full of magic, especially when looking back on Zhou Yang's experience over the past year or so, the shock will be even stronger!
A layman accidentally joined a fraud crew and relied on a meager investment to create a small box office miracle for "The Bottom of the Mine", which even shined at the Berlin International Film Festival.
This may be a coincidence!
After all, no one could have imagined that the prototype of "Mineral Bottom" could actually become a reality.
Perhaps it was an accident that I joined the crew of "The Crow" and created the miracle of a literary film.
After all, this is Wang Shuai's work, and it is a realistic-themed movie that penetrates people's hearts. It has been repeatedly reported by CCTV news and is full of authority!
But what about the box office myth of Saw?
When accidental things happen at the same time, accident is inevitable in a sense!
Looking back on Zhou Yang’s various experiences!
Rise from humble beginnings, write miracles in humble circumstances, create incredible myths, turn the impossible into facts, and turn chance into normality!
Unknowingly, such an idea appeared in the minds of movie fans!
Maybe "Jinyiwei" is another myth?
Yes, as long as there is Zhou Yang, myths will appear!
……………………
""Jinyiwei" has expanded its film schedule!"
"Ah, but, what about "Machine Man"? Someone said hello to us and asked us to suppress "Jinyiwei"..."
"It's still too much, have you seen the popularity on the Internet? Are you going to be full and struggling to make ends meet with money?"
"oh oh……"
"What I mean is, don't squeeze the space of "Mechanical Man". Isn't there another domestic movie in March? This movie is almost about to be released..."
"It has just been released, and the box office is several million a day, which is not bad..."
"Let it be drawn and make room for "Jinyiwei". Well, forget it. Let's be more cautious and try adding some films to the arrangement first!"
"good!"
After reading the data, the person in charge of Wanda Cinema Office, Xu Jiazhou, made a decision immediately.
After hesitating for a while, the assistant finally nodded.
About an hour later, the assistant came in again and showed the latest box office sales data to the person in charge. The person in charge of Wanda was pleasantly surprised!
The movie "Jin Yi Wei" can completely absorb these extra film schedules, and the data and potential feedback of this movie are not inferior to "Roboman" at all. Especially the evaluation on the Internet is vaguely surpassing "Roboman"
"the trend of……
The person in charge, Xu Jiazhou, is keenly aware that the movie "Jinyiwei" is very likely to be a small hit movie!
"Invest all resources except "Mechanical Man" into "Jinyiwei". I want to see where the limits of "Jinyiwei" are..." After confirming, Xu Jiazhou made such a decision immediately.
"Okay!" The assistant nodded, turned and left.
Xu Jiazhou, on the other hand, looked at the box office feedback of "Roboman" and "Jinyiwei" with excitement.
Although "Saw" is not considered a local Chinese film, it did make a good start for Chinese films. It not only swept away the haze of last year's Hollywood dominance, but also brought hope to Chinese films.
Time passes little by little.
He watches real-time data for these two movies every few minutes!
Both movies performed very well.
Even at night shows after ten o'clock, all major screening halls were full, and all pre-sale tickets were sold quite well. All the pre-sale tickets for three days later were sold out.
The market is hungry for both movies.
Morning came quickly.
The assistant hurriedly took the box office statistics of Wanda Cinema...
Xu Jiazhou took a look at the data, his eyes full of surprise!
……………………
"Congratulations! Xiao Jiang!"
"Director Cao, how much is the box office?"
"The opening box office is 17 million!"
"Record broken?"
"Yes! It's broken! It has already broken the premiere record of "Heroes", not even inferior to "Superman". Two-day pre-sale tickets exceeded 23 million. I originally thought this data was the most amazing data, but
I didn’t expect that today’s premiere would earn 17 million at the box office!”
"Great! Director Cao, this data is no worse than Zhou Yang's "Saw"!"
"Not only is it not worse than Zhou Yang's "Saw", it's simply much better. "Saw" is a movie that's been a huge hit in China, and its premiere box office was only 12 million yuan. You just pulled him away.
Five million!"
Early morning of March 2nd.
Jiang Ge was very excited after seeing the box office data!
Every data seems to be telling him that he has become the number one among the younger generation in China. No, he should be the number one box office director in China!
17 million box office!
Although he was excited, he narrowed his eyes and tried hard to stay calm.
He took a cautious look at "Jin Yi Wei". Although "Jin Yi Wei" has become extremely popular on the Internet, due to its inherent disadvantage, the box office opening box office is currently only over 5 million. Although including the whole day, there are
A sign of a small hit, but nothing to worry about!
this moment……
He felt completely relaxed.
He looked at Cao Bangguo not far away: "Mr. Cao, is the vice chairman of the Chinese Directors Association..."
"I've told everyone, we old guys, everyone will push you up! Well, wait a minute, the phone is ringing..."
After Cao Bangguo answered the phone, the smile on his face became even brighter!
"It's a done deal, Xiao Jiang, do you want to go to bed now? If not, go to the association for a meeting now..."
"Ah? Choose now?"
"Yes! Make the decision now!"
"good!"
……………………
Late at night.
While lost in the lake, Zhou Yang received a phone call.
The call was from Zhou Yilin. Zhou Yilin hoped that he could go over and vote for the vice president election of the Chinese Directors Association.
Zhou Yang responded for a few words and hung up the phone without the slightest interest.
Not long after he hung up the phone, he received another call, from An Xiao.
"Zhou Yang, what do you think of the "Chinese Young Directors Association" project?"
Without a word of greeting, An Xiao asked the question directly.
