"The rough box office report on February 16th showed that the first day of the new year was 1.833 billion. Eight new films were released today. The ancient costume masterpiece "Xiangyang War" reached 477 million on the first day, ranking first as expected; "The Magic Gun" reached 329 million, which was unexpected.
Unexpectedly, it took the second place on the list; "Sleeping Memory" has 283 million, ranking third; "The Bourne Identity" has 194 million, ranking fourth..."
"Ah... I also want to go to the first grade of junior high school!"
After reading the rough box office report on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Peng let out a long sigh.
This data makes people jealous!
The box office of "Dragon Inn" has reached 930 million, and it is still ranked around ten in the rankings. However, due to the collective release of these six movies on the first day of the new year, both the film schedule and the box office can be ignored. And I think
Think about the box office when it was first released, and even the total box office on that day, and then look at the box office of "The Bourne Identity" today...
Only a dozen percent of the film was shot, and the box office was nearly 200 million!
"Hey, come on then!"
While peeling the fruit skillfully, Li Juqin said disapprovingly: "Next time your movie is released, just tell them and arrange it to be released on the first day of the new year. What a big deal!"
"..."
The exaggerated expression on his face froze instantly, and Sun Peng didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Pfft! Hahaha..."
Zheng Jia next to her couldn't help laughing, and even fell down on the sofa with an exaggerated smile. Her mother looked confused and didn't know why.
"Mom, this schedule doesn't mean that you can go to whoever you want!"
Zheng Shun, who finally took a day off during the Spring Festival, felt better. He suppressed a smile and explained to his mother: "The first day of the year is the best time of the year. Of course everyone wants to squeeze in, but what do you think... cough
Well, just like me, if I think about it, can I become the chief of the government?"
Zheng Shun was afraid that his mother wouldn't understand, so he simply gave an example.
"Asshole, what are you talking about?"
However, these words from his son immediately made Lao Zheng next to him unhappy. He angrily scolded: "As long as you work hard, why can't you become a police officer? Wasn't your father also a small-time policeman back then, and then he climbed up step by step?
What?"
"Ah? Yes, yes, you are always right..."
With a grimace on his face, Zheng Shun quickly and carefully smiled with him, looking helpless.
"How come the choice of a release date has to do with the director of the government?"
"Mom, the movie schedule is indeed not chosen randomly."
After laughing to his heart's content, Zheng Jia quickly explained to his confused mother: "Because everyone wants to be in it, there will be a lot of movies in the first year, and most of them are blockbusters with big stars and big directors. If you just get in,
Other movie theaters may not be willing to show it to you, and even if they do show it, they may not show it for a few shows..."
The family of four was chatting and laughing, noisy and very lively.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the future son-in-law came to visit, but now no one in the old Zheng family really regarded Sun Peng as a guest, so they just threw him aside so casually. That is to say, the future mother-in-law Li Juqin still cared a little, but casually threw him away.
After handing him the peeled apple, he went back to chatting with his daughter.
Bored, Sun Peng just picked up his phone again.
Several new movies have just been online for a day, but there are already overwhelming comments on the Internet, especially those who make a living by reviewing movies. Almost all of them have reviewed these movies and given their own ratings.
Of course, Sun Peng first found the Weibo account of Lao Baichui Yiye Zhiqiu in his heart.
The first thing I saw was one of the most popular comments, about the big-budget "The Battle of Xiangyang", "With the usual routines and scenes without any new ideas, how long will this kind of repetition of ancient costume masterpieces continue? And how long will it continue?"
The ticket price is as high as 120 yuan. I feel it is better to watch the Battle of Xiangyang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is much more exciting than the movie..."
"This is true!"
After reading the most popular comments, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction.
Look, what is this if it’s not Lao Baichui?
As a loyal fan of Chinese costume masterpieces, Sun Peng actually took the time to watch "The Battle of Xiangyang" yesterday, and his thoughts about the movie are quite consistent with One Leaf Zhiqiu. How should I put it, if he had just worn it,
This movie will definitely make Sun Peng's blood boil. He didn't even take a sip of saliva during the two and a half hours of movie!
but……
He was tired of eating too much at the Manchu-Han banquet!
From the year when Sun Peng watched "Zhu Xian Town"... no, it should be said that it started two or three years earlier. This kind of ancient costume masterpiece seems to have become the favorite of big directors and big companies. The domestic box office has
Guaranteed, and the key is that the overseas market is also huge, including Europe and the United States, which are the most difficult to penetrate. Audiences seem to be very attracted to this kind of film, which can bring them huge profits every time.
So even though it has actually started to decline in the past two years, film companies are still enjoying it.
Just like this movie "The Battle of Xiangyang", in fact, there is nothing wrong with it in terms of quality. The grand war scenes and excellent special effects, coupled with the wonderful performances of a group of movie kings and actresses, even if they were sent to the earth to compete with those in Hollywood,
Blockbuster, Sun Peng doesn’t think there is any problem!
But for some reason, Sun Peng just lost his original passion.
Perhaps it’s because we’ve seen too many shocking war scenes. The overwhelming rain of arrows and the collision of iron streams in the movie really don’t seem to make any sense this time. As for the hard-working speeches of the movie stars before the battle, there are
The sorrow of the weak against the strong seems to be difficult to arouse Sun Peng's feeling of sharing the same hatred with the enemy and wishing to rush forward with a knife.
"well……"
After thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng felt a little disappointed for some reason.
Shaking his head, Sun Peng next saw the reviews of "The Magic Gun" and "Sleeping Memories". These two blockbusters also gathered superstars. The former is the story of a retired sharpshooter. Just reading the plot introduction reminded Sun Peng of "
"City Hunter"; and the latter is a hodgepodge of science fiction and suspense. If you have a bigger imagination, you can watch it as "Total Recall".
In Yiye Zhiqiu's opinion, both movies are quite satisfactory and can be watched.
"Can you see it? Then go and see it in the next two days!"
After casually browsing through the comments from fans, Sun Peng became a little interested.
In fact, as far as movies are concerned, although the level in China is not as good as that of Hollywood in this world, it is better than that on earth. At least Sun Peng has a higher proportion of finding good movies. Especially in recent years, although the costume masterpieces
The decline has been quite obvious, but the driving role has gradually emerged, and the quality of films of various themes has quietly improved to a higher level...
"call……"
With a sigh of relief, Sun Peng finally opened Yiye Zhiqiu's evaluation of "The Bourne Identity".
He has no interest in the two comedies. There are no nonsense comedies in this world. The jokes and plots are not to his liking. Sun Peng is often not used to watching them.
"A super cool movie, the pinnacle of Chinese spy movies!"
Sure enough, he is the Lao Bai Chui in Sun Peng's heart. Yi Zhiqiu's evaluation can be said to be full of praise. He said straightforwardly: "Before the release of "The Bourne Identity", I once thought that "The Rescue" was Lao Bai's.
It was the limit, but when I saw "The Bourne Identity", I knew I was wrong..."
