Chapter 862 The summer season is coming, and the weird box office trend
From the moment of screening, "Westward Journey" can be said to be different from Li Yi's previous films.
This movie takes a very tortuous path, just like Supreme Treasure.
Initially, the two films were screened consecutively, and the special screenings received numerous praises. However, with the screening of "Westward Journey: Moonlight Box" alone, Li Yi encountered the biggest reputation crisis since he started acting.
Then the two movies were combined into one and announced to be put on schedule for half a month.
Gradually, the reputation began to recover again, and it seemed that it was starting to get on the right track.
However, due to the length and schedule of the movie, as well as the characteristics of the movie itself, the box office on the first day was still not very satisfactory. The first-day box office of 68 million made people think that "Westward Journey"
Or it will really become Li Yi's Waterloo.
However, I never expected that "Westward Journey" would have such a box office curve.
As word of mouth fermented, and as more and more interpretations were made of the film, many fans began to return and began to go to theaters to watch the film again.
From the fifth day of its release, the box office of "Westward Journey" has remained above 100 million.
And it continues.
"Westward Journey" has been in theaters for one full week and has grossed 780 million at the box office!
Such results may not be the most outstanding among Li Yi's films, but at this time, no one will continue to doubt the potential of this film.
Because, everyone knows that the movie "Westward Journey" really started to gain momentum from then on.
Although the time has entered its second week, the daily box office of "Westward Journey" seems to have temporarily stopped the momentum that continued to skyrocket last week, but there has not been a significant box office drop.
This is already very illustrative of the problem.
You know, the length of "Westward Journey" is almost twice that of ordinary movies, which naturally leads to this movie having a huge disadvantage in scheduling.
In addition, the end of June, although it can be said to be the period before the summer vacation, but in the actual period, everyone knows that the real largest audience of the movie is in the library, working hard for the final exam.
.
As long as this trend is maintained, "Westward Journey" will obviously have a chance to explode.
And with more and more interpretations, as the number of topics increases, and as word-of-mouth gets more and more appointments.
Gradually, movie fans began to place this movie in a very high position, and even began to discuss whether this movie has the potential to become a classic.
In the second week, the box office revenue of "Westward Journey" was 770 million!
The box office of 1.55 billion in two weeks is not high compared to the previous "Changjin Lake" and compared to many of Li Yi's past movies.
However, such a stable box office trend still makes people have great expectations for the movie's box office.
As time progressed and entered July, as students across the country began to finish their torturous final exams, a large number of student parties poured into the theater.
The smoke of summer season is beginning to fill the air.
The film schedule of "Westward Journey" has inevitably been cut, after all, this is a summer release.
Heavyweight films from other film companies began to be released one after another.
Naturally, "Westward Journey" can no longer dominate the film schedule as it did before.
However, although the number of screenings has been reduced, the audience base has increased a lot.
As for the student party, especially college students, their love for such a movie started to flourish from the moment they came into contact with it.
The student audience, who prefer to express themselves, started a second wave of heated discussions about "Westward Journey" on the Internet.
"When I first watched it for the first time, I didn't feel anything. When I watched it for the second time, I resonated with my heart from the bottom of my heart. Only after I have experienced a lot of things did I realize that Westward Journey is a reflection of the real society and all kinds of life.
, fate plays tricks on people, and suddenly I feel like a supreme treasure. Many times, when you have it, you can't cherish it. Looking back, you can't go back to the past. People who love each other can't be together, leaving only endless sadness and regret. Maybe,
This can leave you scarred inside for the rest of your life."
"Zhizunbao represents the image of thousands of ordinary people, not only his destiny, but also his popular language and some down-to-earth swear words, which invisibly shorten the distance between Zhizunbao and the ordinary people.
, as for the ending, the protagonist always has an ending that is different from that of ordinary people. As for the plot that was foreshadowed before, people are also very much looking forward to the Supreme Treasure being able to rescue Zixia, so when seeing Zixia say her last words,
When you see Sun Wukong covering his head in pain and having to let go and let the purple clouds drift towards the sun, you can feel the pain with the same feeling!"
"Westward Journey allows us to know that dramas can still be performed like this! It turns out that comedies can still make people laugh so hard that they are in pain. Those clips that can make us laugh the happiest but watch it again will find out...
I couldn’t laugh anymore. It’s not that we laughed too much, it’s that we seemed to have just understood this movie. Those funny lines were carefully savored, and every word was heart-breaking.”
"If Fairy Zixia had not met the Supreme Treasure, she would still be just a beautiful fairy. She would be a quiet wick in front of the Buddha, allowing the gods in the sky to admire her beauty. Such a life would last ten thousand years.
, what fun is there? Finding the person you love, even if you guess the beginning but not the ending, even if you are shattered, is better than repeating it for thousands of years."
"The depth of "Westward Journey" lies in its profound insight into human nature and the return of those oldest propositions to the audience and to us. To become a real man (woman), you must first understand the taste of tears and understand the difference between life and death.
Sadness, knowing the helplessness of secret ecstasy, knowing morality, responsibility and the choice of lover. How can we live up to the Tathagata and live up to you? "
"Why does Tang Monk always talk about Sun Wukong? Because there is no child in the world who is not talked about by adults. But when you really grow up, no one can restrain and limit your heart, and you can find a place to settle down. No more
When people talk about you, you draw boundaries for yourself and bear whatever you choose. The Tang Seng in "Journey to the West" is the greatest wise man and the most precious prophet in the world. A wise man understands human nature too well and has a high level to be ignored by the world.
As I understood it, his words were of course considered too verbose.
The two sisters, Zixia Fairy and Qingxia Fairy, have been fighting for thousands of years. The way they love each other is to fight for each other. When he was hurt by the Bull Demon King, Tang Seng said that the younger sister saved the elder sister, and the elder sister couldn't help but let go.
Resentment, sacrificing himself to save his sister. Sure enough, Tang Seng was right. This is reconciliation and letting go of obsessions.
When Tang Seng chose to sacrifice himself for the Supreme Treasure, he knew that he would eventually get the Supreme Treasure's understanding and growth."
"I believe that this will be a classic. Even in a few years or more, we will already know this story well and be extremely familiar with it, but I believe that even at that time, we will still be familiar with it.
I am willing to watch it again, just because we are not grass and trees. No matter how we grow and mature, we cannot be ruthless. People with feelings will inevitably remember them, review them and learn about old feelings."
