Although the quality of "Jingjue Ancient City" is quite good, there is one factor that prevents the film's production volume from being very high, and that is the length of the film.
Generally, the duration of movies shown in movie theaters is between 90 minutes and 120 minutes. This way, it will not appear too short, so that the story can be told, but it will also not be stretched out, causing each theater to show too long. There are also
With a few exceptions, the length of the film can reach 150 or even 180 minutes.
However, most of the long-running films are independent films and literary films, and there are only a few commercial films that last longer than this. Among them, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is the most famous. As a world-famous fantasy film series, the trilogy
The average duration is more than three hours, setting a record for the length of a single commercial film.
The length of the film will definitely have an impact on the film schedule and ultimately the box office. "The Ancient City" has a running time of three hours and twenty minutes, excluding the ending, it still has 190 minutes of content, which is rare in commercial movies.
road.
In fact, several major producers were dissatisfied with such a long movie at the beginning, and repeatedly asked directors Wu Ershan and Lu Yanyang to edit and control the length of the film. After many edits, Wu Ershan and Lu Yang had no more cuts.
It can be cut, but it still doesn't satisfy the producer.
Later, he had no choice but to hire a well-known editor at a high price to do it, but the length of the film still couldn't be shortened. Wu Ershan told the producer that the film had been edited many times to remove useless content, and it would be the best version after cutting it again.
Affects the completeness and excitement of the story.
The producer had no choice but to hold an internal preview meeting, then had a special discussion and decided to support the two directors' edited version.
As for theaters, I saw that "The Ancient City" is actually a three-hour and twenty-minute film. I was pumped in my heart. If it weren't for the fact that the lead actor had Li Hyuk's name, it would be too dazzling, and both directors had good results before.
If so, theater chains probably won’t schedule too many films.
Even though the two directors Li Hejia and Li Hejia are famous, the film scheduling rate given by theaters is still less than 30%. The film scheduling rate of "The Next Us" ranks first, as high as 38.5%. Good.
There are no movies to grab in the IMAX 3D theater, which has the highest ticket prices. The entire screen is taken up by "The Ancient City".
After the premiere, "The Ancient City" ushered in the midnight show. Many movie fans who bought midnight tickets looked at the end time of the screening in their hands and suspected that they had seen it wrong. After watching this movie, they all came
It's already 3:30 in the middle of the night. Which movie theater has such a long time?
"Zhenzhen, is this time wrong? The movie ends at 3:30." Kang Xiaowei was holding the ticket she had just taken out at a Wanda IMAX theater in Shanghai. The time on it surprised her.
Wu Zhenzhen held two cups of milk tea and said, "You read that right, when you bought the ticket on Maoyan, it was marked that the movie is two hundred minutes long."
"Dear me, what kind of movie is this? Is it so long?" Kang Xiaowei said in surprise.
"I don't know, I heard it's an adaptation, but as long as it's starring a senior, I like it," Wu Zhenzhen said.
"Yes, the work starring the professor will definitely be wonderful." Kang Xiaowei affirmed.
Li Hyuk has many nicknames. From the different nicknames, we can tell when these fans became fans of Li Hyuk. Wu Zhenzhen called her senior. It was probably when she became a fan of "A Little Thing About First Love". From then on
Li Hyuk only had the nickname of senior at the beginning of the movie. Needless to say, Kang Xiaowei became a fan of Li Hyuk from "Star You". Most of these fans are also CP fans of Li Hyuk and Da Mi Mi.
There are many other fans who are fans of Lee Hyuk for various reasons. Some are because of Lee Hyuk's works, some are because of Lee Hyuk's actions, and some are simply because of Lee Hyuk's appearance. But no matter what it is,
For this reason, tonight, everyone has a common identity, that is, the audience of "Jingjue Ancient City".
Cinemas across the country have seen their best midnight sales in recent months, with groups of movie fans occupying one cinema after another to watch "The Greatest City".
After the premiere, and after attending several cocktail parties, Li He was a little tired and fell asleep directly on the sofa in Da Mi Mi's office. Sister Zhi pushed the door open and entered, and Da Mi Mi quickly made a quiet gesture.
Sister Zhi shrank her head, handed the midnight show box office report to Da Mi Mi, and whispered: "The midnight show data is out, it's a great success."
Da Mi Mi looked at the report and was a little surprised: "So high? Is it a record?"
"Indeed, the midnight box office of 73.815 million broke the record." Sister Zhi said. Although the midnight show is still showing, the box office statistics have come out. Since the theater cooperated with online ticket sales agencies such as Maoyan to comprehensively update the box office statistics
, box office data can be achieved in real time.
Da Mi Mi is very happy, not only because the movie starring Li Hyuk is a hit, but also because Da Mi Mi Studio participated in the investment. The higher the box office of the film, the more revenue Da Mi Mi Studio will earn.
Although the discussion between Da Mi Mi and Sister Zhi was very quiet, Li He's sleep was always very light, and the sofa was indeed uncomfortable. He woke up leisurely after sleeping for a while.
"What time is it?" Li He asked, squeezing his uncomfortable neck.
"It's past one o'clock. Let's go home and sleep later. It's not good to rest here." Da Mi Mi said.
"Forget it, I can't sleep anymore. Is the midnight show box office out?" Li He asked.
"Here," Da Mi Mi handed the report to Li He: "The results are good, breaking the record."
Li He looked at it and put it aside. The midnight show data was too absolute, and the follow-up situation would depend on the box office data of the first week. However, the box office of more than 70 million was indeed unexpected. As far as he knew, the previous midnight show
The box office record was set by "Fast and Furious 8". "Fast and Furious 8" was released in China last year and achieved a box office of 62.706 million, breaking the record of 52.456 million set by "Fast and Furious 7".
"At this point, I guess the audience is still watching the movie in the theater, right?" Li He said with a smile.
"Yeah, when they came out of the cinema and found out it was already 3:30 in the morning, I didn't know what they would think, haha..." Da Mi Mi was also happy.
Most viewers did not notice the length of the film. At this time, they were already immersed in the wonderful film and were fully emotionally stimulated by the film.
Some viewers drank too much water and wanted to go to the bathroom, but because the movie was so exciting, they refrained from going to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, the movie was so long that their bladders almost burst.
Finally, the movie ended. The audience hurriedly ran to the bathroom to relax, took out their mobile phones and looked: "Holy shit, it's half past three?"
This is not an isolated case, but something that happens in movie theaters across the country. The next day, "Jingjue Ancient City" became a hot search topic when the movie was three hours and twenty minutes long, triggering discussions among netizens.
Many netizens had no plans to watch this film, but because of its length, they aroused interest and decided to go to the cinema to check it out.

You won’t believe me if I tell you. Yesterday, I played Iron Ambition 4 and tried to unite Eurasia with Germany. Then I started a chaotic war with the United States. I also dropped a few nuclear bombs on my little life. I was so excited that I forgot to update it. One word: g...
