"Hot New Year's Eve, "Hong Kong" and "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" will make you laugh non-stop on New Year's Eve!"
"Both exceeded 100 million, "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" and "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" created the strongest Spring Festival show in history!"
"The market in a single day exceeded 200 million, setting a record for the highest market on New Year's Eve!"
""Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" strongly strives to become the single-day box office champion, and the king of comedy Zhou Xingchi returns!"
"Happy Spring Festival, the funniest Spring Festival in 2013!"
""Embarrassed" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Devil" successively set new first-day box office records in Chinese film history, becoming the only two movies to have a box office of over 100 million in the first day!"
“‘Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons’ overwhelmingly overwhelms ‘囧’ and aims at the box office record of Chinese-language films!”
On the first day of release, the box office of both films exceeded 100 million, which directly pushed the market to 200 million.
Even though today is New Year's Eve, evening is a day for family reunion.
Movie fans' enthusiasm for watching movies has not been affected at all. The attendance rate is close to saturation throughout the day. Starting from two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the occupancy rate of theaters in various places exceeds 90%.
After getting these data, Tang An didn't find anything surprising.
On one side, there are super high pre-sales and series bonuses, and on the other side, there are advantages in film scheduling and ticket prices.
In addition, the movie-watching habits of movie fans have been mobilized now, so the New Year's Eve can also burst out with such great energy.
In addition to first- and second-tier cities, the attendance rate in third-tier cities and small counties is not bad at all. According to the feedback from the ground distribution team, in cinemas in small cities, you can often see several families, relatives and friends going to watch movies together.
Showing comedies during the Spring Festival has a natural advantage.
Looking through the news again, the media and the audience all praised it. The two movies are inherently good movies above the standard.
In terms of reviews, some praise and others criticize. Compare these two movies with Zhou Xingchi and Xu Zheng's previous movies.
Is "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" better than "Kung Fu"?
Is "囧 in Hong Kong" better than "囧 in Thailand"?
Obviously, from many angles and in the opinion of most movie fans, it cannot be compared.
So some people began to write big books about it, and all kinds of film reviews can be summed up in four words, and they have exhausted their talents.
There are 300 children's songs in "Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons", and the final "Tathagata Palm" has too many traces of "Kung Fu", and Sha Monk is too girly.
"Embarrassed in Hong Kong" was said to sell emotions, and various plots were borrowed from Hong Kong movies.
It's also vulgar and has all kinds of sexual implications.
Some even go to the extreme and say that the only attraction of this movie is to close your eyes and reminisce about those classic old songs.
The song "I Just Like You" has seen a surge in downloads on major music players due to the popularity of "囧 in Hong Kong". Many young people also got to know the first generation of idol singers for the first time.
Fortunately, the National Copyright Administration's "Notice on Ordering Online Music Service Providers to Stop Unauthorized Dissemination of Music Works", the most stringent "copyright order" in the history of domestic music, has not yet been issued.
Otherwise, after a few years, this song may have to be charged for "囧 in Hong Kong".
Most film reviews are analyzing these two movies in depth, understanding them from all angles, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is called the most realistic adaptation.
Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and Zhou Xingchi fully displayed their ugly sides and subverted people's perceptions.
An H5 mini-game launched by Nuomi Movie has also caused a heated discussion on Weibo. The game is very simple. Just tap on Xu Zheng’s bald head on a poster. There will be a timer on it. As long as it happens to be 12 seconds and 29 seconds when you let go, it will be over.
There is a chance to get a free movie ticket.
12 seconds 29 means New Year’s Eve 29.
There is no need to download the software, just click it and play. It is very popular and there are various guides on the Internet.
Tang An put down the newspaper and tablet, and drank the porridge in the bowl in a few mouthfuls.
Looking at Tang Yan who was slowly sipping his porridge, Tang An smiled and urged, "Don't you have to go to Tianjing for promotion later? Don't keep the crew waiting for too long."
"Well, I'm almost finished."
Tang Yan nodded and stared at the poster in front of him, which was dressed in rags and had half-bald hair. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Now that I see the image of Monkey King like Bo Ge, I don't even know what the movie will be like."
Tang An wiped his mouth, "This movie is about Stephen Chow's own life insights. Tang Sanzang is himself, and Sun Wukong is also himself."
"Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is a majestic person, and his handsomeness is his symbol. A character who can call the wind and rain, shake the world and weep ghosts and gods, but under the Five Fingers Mountain has a loneliness that no one can understand. He has been shaped into a person that people cannot understand.
Image of bald old man with white hair.
Now, the high-spirited, handsome Sun Wukong has grown old. He thought he could rival the sky, but he endured five hundred years of loneliness under Wuzhi Mountain. This is probably the true portrayal of Zhou Xingchi now.
He ascends to the altar and holds the title of the King of Comedy, but he has few friends around him. Those partners and friends have all broken up, and many companies in Hong Kong have ostracized him, leaving him with endless loneliness."
Tang An and his secretary Zhou Li were stunned for a moment as Tang An spoke at length.
"Brother An, have you watched this movie?"
Tang Yan felt a little strange. Tang An didn't go to the premiere, and the company had a lot of things to do at the end of the year. The movie had only been released for one day, so he had watched it so quickly.
Tang An nodded, "I saw it. I took the time to read it yesterday."
"Then I'll take the time to watch it too. When I was a kid, I watched Xingye's movies on TV every day, and I watched each of them more than ten times." Tang Yan has no doubt about him.
But the secretary next to her, Zhou Li, was full of doubts. Tang An stayed in the office all day yesterday, and after inviting overtime employees to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, he went directly back to Li Palace. He and the driver picked him up and drop him off every time.
The theater chain did send a copy over, but Tang Yan also came last night. If I watched it here, why didn't Tang Yan watch it?
So where did the chairman watch this movie? Could it be possible to fly?
As a secretary who followed the chairman everywhere, Zhou Li discovered that she had made a major mistake.
A movie is two hours long, and I followed it without even realizing it.
But she didn't have time to reflect, Tang An was about to go out
"Hahaha!"
Far away in the Rose Garden Villa on the West Sixth Ring Road, Wang Zhongjun was extremely happy.
Yesterday, the two movies were released on the first day, and he had been paying attention to the real-time box office information all day long.
Nowadays, Nuomi Movies refreshes its box office every half an hour, so Wang Zhongjun can't help but watch it every half an hour.
Since "囧" had much more pre-sales than "Journey to the West", the box office was also ahead of "Journey to the West" all day long.
Fortunately, starting from the afternoon, "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" has gradually become closer to "Journey to the West".
Until 9:30 p.m., the two sides were tied, and at 11:30 p.m., "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" only surpassed it by a few hundred thousand.
But what worries him is that after all, Nuomi.com's statistics are not very accurate, and the gap of hundreds of thousands is not safe.
Fortunately, after twelve o'clock, the accurate box office figures came out. "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" won its first Japanese crown with a lead of 3 million, making a good start.
"囧" has more tickets on Nuomi.com, while "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" has very few tickets. This discrepancy is not surprising.
Wang Zhongjun can no longer remember how many years there were no films produced in the Han and Tang dynasties that directly overwhelmed them.
It seems that since "Tangshan Earthquake" beat "Painted Skin 2" to win the summer championship, Huayi's movies have never won against the Han and Tang Dynasties.
This time, "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" finally found the factory, which made him relieved and relaxed.
This year, I can finally have a good year!
Wang Zhongjun was in an unusually happy mood. He got up early in the morning and made a cup of tea by himself and read the newspaper leisurely.
It's a pity that I didn't find many news that disparaged the other party. After all, "囧 in Hong Kong" also exceeded 100 million on its first day, which was only 3 million lower than "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons". It is not a failure at all.
I looked at the stock market again and saw that after the market opened, the stock price skyrocketed again.
Just a quarter of an hour after the market opened in the morning, Huayi's market value exceeded the 11 billion mark.
As an investor and co-distributor, Ali Pictures has also benefited from this.
The same is true for Zhou Xingchi's Bigo Group, whose growth rate is not much slower than that of Huayi.
The situation is very good. There are still six days of vacation. It should be no problem to maintain 100 million a day. Breaking 1 billion is basically a certainty. It is not impossible to even hit the record of "The Martian".
Wang Zhongjun, who was in a good mood, put on his sportswear and went out for a run. An hour later, when he returned home, he found his son Wang Fu walking around the living room with an anxious face, and the computer on the coffee table was turned on again.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Zhongjun entered the room while wiping his sweat. This kid is 24 and still so immature.
When he returned to China the year before last, he was still clamoring not to join Huayi, not to rely on his elders, but to start his own business and make investments. In the end, he was arranged to join an investment bank as a project manager.
After working for a year, I quit, saying that it was just working for other people and playing with other people's money, which was boring.
If you want to play with your own money, you have to have money, and it’s not his father who provides the money.
Think about 24-year-old Tang An again. He made "Shark Beach" and made a net profit of tens of millions from one movie.
Not only is his ability incomparable, his character is also far worse.
Wang Zhongjun doesn't intend to preach anymore. If such an old man can speak a few sentences, then he has spent so many years studying in vain.
Mr. Wang didn't know that his father was comparing him with "other people's children" at that moment.
When he saw Wang Zhongjun coming back, he quickly grabbed him.
"Dad, you are back. The director of your company's public relations department and your second uncle called just now. A large number of trolls appeared on the Internet to smear "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons". The momentum is too great."
"What"
Wang Zhongjun didn't react at once. He had only been out for an hour, and Tang An had already sent navy troops to hack him?
However, Wang Zhongjun didn't take it to heart, and it's not like Hua Yi didn't cheat on "囧 in Hong Kong".
Nowadays, the quality of movies is good, and Zhou Xingchi's reputation is nothing to say, and it will not become popular in such a short period of time.
"Calm down and don't get irritated by the smallest things."
After giving his son a lesson by the way, Wang Zhongjun sat down on the sofa and watched the news on the computer.
