"According to the theater chain, director Tang An's new film "Now You See Me" was fully released in thousands of theaters across the country early this morning, completely detonating the summer season, and grossing a box office of 4.5 million in just two hours."
"On July 16, the much-anticipated magic crime blockbuster "Now You See Me" premiered in the Mainland, with a box office of 4.5 million yuan at the midnight screening. It successfully broke Tang An's personal best result and was 3.80 million yuan higher than last year's "The Wind"
The box office of 10,000 points exceeded 700,000. This shows how popular "Now You See Me" is!"
"Yesterday, the reporter visited three cinemas in Beijing. Each cinema screened at least one midnight screening, and it was a rare situation that it was full. The screening hall was packed with seats, and the attendance rate was as high as 80%. The audience responded enthusiastically and was constantly able to
After hearing the cheers one after another, I randomly interviewed several audience members and received unanimous praise!"
"According to the film distributor, in order to fully release "Now You See Me" this time, a total of 1,500 copies have been prepared, covering all major, medium and small cities across the country, including some remote counties!"
"With a zero-point box office of up to 4.5 million, relevant personnel estimate that "Now You See Me" will once again create Tang An's personal best results, and the total box office is expected to hit the 300 million mark."
...
Major media also obtained first-hand box office information as quickly as possible and published it.
4.5 million is a reasonable but unexpected number.
With Tang An's box office appeal and this new theme whetting the audience's appetite, it deserves this number.
But now that "Red Cliff" is in theaters, facing such a powerful enemy, it can still reach this data, which surprises some people.
"Drop out another two hundred copies!"
In the office of the chairman of Chengtian Entertainment, Wu Bo loudly gave instructions to the person in charge of the distribution department.
"Dr. Wu, there are currently less than 1,600 domestic movie theaters at full capacity. The copies of our two movies are already saturated, and there are no more movies scheduled."
The director of the distribution department looked embarrassed. Huayi initially released 1,500 copies at a time, covering all digital cinemas, and almost all the cinemas showing other film films. One copy is divided into 5 pieces, which can be displayed on 5 screens at the same time.
Last round of screenings.
But except for those movie theaters in small counties and small cities, a movie theater only has seven or eight halls. The two of them combined 2,700 copies, which is impossible to show.
"Then go to the theater chain and increase the number of films. Isn't "Now You See Me" a lower opening than ours? The box office on the first day was even the highest, but it couldn't reach 20 million, which is a lot lower than "Red Cliff"."
The director of the distribution department smiled bitterly in his heart, wondering why Wu Bo became confused at the critical moment.
Even if the other party's first day was 20 million, it was much higher than our own's 10 million in a single day.
He thought about it and said, "Director Wu, in fact, as long as we ensure that today's box office does not drop significantly compared to yesterday, we can guarantee the current film schedule."
"The other party's current film schedule is far less than ours at the time, and the prime time screenings in big cities are even partially occupied by our "Red Cliff". We won the beginning and maintained our advantage. The final victory is still ours."
Wu Bo shook his head, "Tang An always comes from behind. We must squeeze their living space as much as possible. Add 200 copies. You can contact the theaters to arrange the film."
Since the release of "Red Cliff", Wu Bo's confidence has become stronger and stronger, with sales of 25 million in a single day and over 100 million in four days. All records have been stepped on by them.
Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang were all trampled underfoot, and even those big directors couldn't keep up with this number.
Films such as "Hero", "The Golden Armor" and "Assembly" are completely vulnerable.
Tang An's last movie "The Wind" only took in 67 million in the first four days.
The decline on working days is also within the expectation, and it is just around the corner to exceed 300 million.
But he didn't expect that the box office of "Now You See Me" would be so high, even when "Red Cliff" was at its peak, it could get 4.5 million.
Now I can only hope that it is just because the audience feels it is new and rushes to preview it in the early morning, and the novelty will naturally fade away later.
Time passes slowly, and this year’s summer season is considered the busiest in the past, even more intense than last year’s battle between “Transformers” and “The Wind.”
After all, both films have been highly anticipated since before they were released, attracting the attention of all movie fans.
"Red Cliff" is the commercial blockbuster with the highest investment in Chinese film history, and it is also a costume blockbuster that is considered to have gradually declined.
It can even be said that the success or failure of "Red Cliff" will affect the future of costume films.
If it succeeds, there will still be a market for period films. The previous failures were not due to the genre, but because they were not filmed well.
If all this fails, it will really be the end of the costume blockbusters.
The publicity resources invested by both parties are also the strongest in recent years, and the star cast of "Red Cliff" is enough to attract attention.
"Now You See Me" uses money to pave the way. Every page and every advertisement is spent on money.
The two crews traveled to major movie theaters in Beijing and frequently appeared in the public eye.
More and more people have watched the movie, and the major media have released movie reviews about "Now You See Me" one after another.
"'Now You See Me': A grand magic feast."
This is the nine-word evaluation of this movie by Tengxun Entertainment columnist Anxi.
"In my mind, magic is still in the variety shows on TV, and in the Spring Festival Gala, just some small magic tricks are enough to make me admire. However, this movie cannot be described as shocking."
"Four magicians with super high IQs, super high skills, and a gorgeous stage used magic to steal in front of tens of thousands of people, winning applause from the audience."
"There are three huge magic shows in the movie. The special effects are very gorgeous and the atmosphere is also very good. The third magic show uses holographic projection technology ingeniously, which has a great visual impact."
"This is probably the most enjoyable movie I have ever seen, but after watching it, I seem to remember only three magic tricks. I can't really feel the presence of the protagonist. All I can remember are those magic tricks."
...
With a thousand words written eloquently, it can be seen that the person who wrote the article was very serious and pointed out the film's greatest strengths as well as some of its weaknesses very pertinently.
This film review was also approved by the audience. In just half a day, there were a lot of underground responses.
"It's very well said. This movie is very enjoyable to watch. The suspense comes one after another from beginning to end, but it doesn't make people think too much, because not long after the suspense passes, the movie will immediately answer it for you and throw out another one.
suspense."
"And there wasn't even a minute of boring scenes. Even when the four of them were taken into the police station, they didn't forget to show off their magic tricks to make the police embarrassed."
"The character portrayal is a bit simple. Even the four people except Deng Chao were not introduced too much. They just used little magic tricks to show their identities. But this is not a problem. It's just fun to watch."
"What the person above said is right, forget about those unnecessary things. Do we have to introduce a few people one by one? It is the best movie if you enjoy it."
"Yeah, too many people like to show off nowadays. When analyzing a movie, you must touch on the social and humanistic depth. The plot of the movie must include the suffering and spiritual struggle of the characters. How can I have the leisure to analyze the characters in the movie, let alone the original
It’s just a popcorn movie, so it’s more cost-effective to put some effort into flattering the leader.”
"Someone talked philosophy to me while watching "The Matrix". I also talked about philosophy when I watched "The Shawshank Redemption." I also talked about philosophy when I watched "Superbody" the year before last. Why do you keep talking about so many vain things? Study philosophy.
I’m not going to read a book!”
"Enemies, let me tell you a joke. One day Lu Xun wrote: Haha.
Chinese teacher: Okay! It’s really great! The first word "ha" expresses the author’s bitter smile and helplessness towards the dark society at that time. The second word "ha" changes the direction of the pen and the author intends to convey a positive and optimistic mood.
To readers, please be vigilant and citizens must wake up...
The period at the end of the sentence is used superbly. The period indicates the end. The author uses a simple period to fully and strongly express his idea of ending the old system.
Lu Xun then wrote: Teacher, have you ever asked me what I think?
Chinese teacher: Great! It's really great! The author starts with "teacher", which shows his awe for culture, which is also in line with the author's choice to abandon medicine and pursue literature.
And the sentence "Have you ever asked me what I think?" is a pun. On the one hand, it is a torture of society and an expression of strong indignation against society's oppression of the people at the bottom.
on the other hand......
Lu Xun wrote: I am sick!
Chinese teacher: Yes! You are so right! The author used two sonorous and powerful words and a tone that was almost shouting, incisively and profoundly revealing the problem of society at that time: sick!
Lu Xun wrote: Haha.
Chinese teacher: Absolute! It’s absolutely amazing! The author uses a sharp and cold writing style to concisely and accurately express his accusation against the cannibalistic society and Ah Qs at that time.
The so-called conversation ends with haha, so these two words also indicate that the author has no room for negotiation on the issue of changing the social status quo and people's numb thoughts, and is resolute and decisive!
Lu Xun wrote:...
Chinese teacher: High! Quite high! In the face of this morbid society, thousands of words are combined into a string of ellipses. It seems that nothing is said, but it can be seen as saying countless words. Moreover, the author is expressing himself
At the same time, it also gives readers space for imagination.
In the hearts of a thousand people, there are a thousand views on society. This is exactly what the author wants to express: Only by thinking independently can everyone not be numb and save society from danger..."
"Fuck, 666..."
"I held down the board of Lu Xun's coffin, and the people upstairs ran away!"
...
The day passed quickly, and the domestic film market has reached its busiest time this year.
In the early morning of July 18, the first-day box office of "Now You See Me" was also released.
