The box office of "The Man from Earth" reached more than 58 million on its first day. It ranked second in the domestic box office rankings that day, second only to the Hollywood blockbuster "Dinosaur Park". The box office of this movie on its first day was as high as 120 million.
.It has left domestic films including Chen Feng’s film far behind. This is Hollywood’s natural advantage in the domestic film market.
But in the box office rankings of Tiandi Cinema Line, the movie box office of "This Man is from Earth" is ranked first, surpassing "Dinosaur Park". The reason is very simple. In Tiandi, because of "This Man is from Earth", the movie box office
The number of films scheduled is slightly higher than that of Dinosaur Park. With the attendance rate being about the same, of course "This Man Is From Earth" wins.
This obvious preferential treatment made people in the circle jealous. Chen Feng himself didn't know much about it. For the time being, he didn't care much about it.
Of course, now that the box office is out and the audience's evaluation is so good, it's hard for everyone to say anything, especially within Tiandi Cinema. Previously, because of the number of films scheduled for Chen Feng's movie, it aroused many people's curiosity and doubts.
, but because this is the decision of the company's top management, the people below do not object, but the discussion behind the scenes is definitely indispensable, especially for some other domestic movies, which do not get the ideal number of films in Tiandi Cinema, which makes those distributors and producers
Fang was very dissatisfied with this.
Originally, they planned to wait until the movie did not do well at the box office, then jump out and criticize it, and then strive for more film schedules from Tiandi Cinemas.
As a result, the box office of "The Man Is From Earth" exploded on the first day, greatly exceeding almost everyone's expectations. In this regard, other film directors, investors, and distributors who could not get enough film schedules could only
Pantothenic acid said that with the support of such a large film schedule, even bad movies can have high box office.
Then they expected that the movie would hit the market the next day. When the box office came out, the box office of "The Man from Earth" had risen to more than 68 million.
It exceeded 100 million in two days, making countless filmmakers envious, jealous, and resentful. Especially when they knew that the investment for this film was less than one million, this envy, jealousy, and hatred reached its peak.
This is the mood of Zhang Cong, the director of "Beauty Wars". He is a new generation director. He is only 33 years old this year. He has directed three movies before, one of which won an international award. Therefore, he is touted as a new generation by some domestic media.
As a leading acting director, his best film had a box office of over 100 million, but it took him two full months.
And now Chen Feng has emerged as a new generation director who is younger than him. He is only 23 years old. His first film he directed exceeded 100 million yuan in two days, which makes him feel a deep sense of threat and jealousy.
Especially this time, his movie happened to be released in Tiandi Cinemas, but it only got more than 3,000 screenings a day. There was a 4-fold difference in the number of screenings compared to Chen Feng's movie. How could he not be angry?
Although his movie was not only released in Tiandi Cinemas, but also in several other cinemas. However, the total box office revenue of the movie in two days was only more than 15 million. On the first day, it was more than 8 million, and on the second day, it was only 700.
It’s more than 100,000 yuan, and his investment in this movie is as high as 50 million yuan. If he wants to recover the cost, he must have a box office of almost 150 million yuan, but judging from the current box office trend, it’s really a bit uncertain.
He was really unwilling to do so. He felt that the box office performance of his movie was not good. A large part of the reason was that Tiandi Cinema, a large theater chain, gave him an unfair schedule, allowing Chen Feng's movie to take over his movie schedule.
Movie quota.
If he hadn't thought of Chen Feng's popularity on the Internet and thought of the previous scolding battle between Chen Feng and Wang Gang and others, which ended in Chen Feng's victory, he would have already started scolding him on the Internet. People who have similar thoughts to him
, as well as many other film directors who were released at the same time.
It is because of Chen Feng's explosive popularity on the Internet and the previous scolding wars with Wang Gang and others that these people have no confidence to scold Chen Feng.
However, of course there are people who are not afraid of Chen Feng, such as Huang Jingkun, the director of Galaxy Era. He is now called an international director and is among the top directors in China, especially this time he directed a science fiction film with an investment of up to 580 million.
Blockbusters. This certainly gives me more confidence.
He really doesn't care much about young directors and singers like Chen Feng, even though his popularity on the Internet has exploded, and he became famous after scolding Wang Gang, Liangdong and others, forcing Wang Gang, Liangdong and others to apologize to him, but these
For a great director like Huang Jingkun, this is still nothing.
What's more important is that he feels that he has been treated unfairly and even humiliatingly this time. His movie will soon be released nationwide, but when he was negotiating with Tiandi Cinema to schedule the film,
The other party only promised him less than 10,000 films per day.
Although the other party also said that the number of 10,000 films scheduled is conservative and can be adjusted in time according to the actual situation and is expected to increase, he is still very dissatisfied with it.
In his opinion, his Galaxy Era is definitely the greatest science fiction masterpiece in domestic history. As a domestic enterprise, Tiandi Cinema should give it the greatest support, not to mention the appeal and brand of this great director.
You can't just schedule 10,000 movies a day to keep him busy.
He feels that his science fiction masterpiece will definitely break a box office record and create history.
Then, he learned some specific situations through internal relationships. For example, Chen Feng was a good friend of a director of their Tiandi Cinema, so their Tiandi Cinema took great care of Chen Feng’s so-called science fiction movie, and Tiandi Cinema had at least three films scheduled.
One percent was given to this movie.
After all, Tiandi Cinemas has a large number of theaters in the country, and there are also a large number of movie screenings every day. Chen Feng has more cinemas, but of course there are fewer others.
"This man is from Earth. Although he has a good reputation, he has less than 1 million investors. How does it compare with his investment of nearly 600 million in the Galaxy Era?"
Could it be that a huge masterpiece like Galaxy Age is not as good as the other's shoddy, low-budget movie?
This made Huang Jingkun very uncomfortable and felt that he had been greatly insulted. Because the other party used the back door, he took away a lot of the film schedule that originally belonged to him.
So Huang Jingkun, who knew the inside story, couldn't help it. That night, he criticized "This Man is from the Earth" and Chen Feng on his Weibo.
"A so-called science fiction movie with a total investment of less than 1 million. I think such a shoddy movie is an insult to science fiction movies and an insult to the intelligence of movie audiences. I don't recommend that you watch such a so-called science fiction movie. If you want to
To see a real science fiction movie, please go see "Galactic Age" starring my director Li Fang Xie Lun in a few days."
As soon as Huang Jingkun's Weibo post came out, many people retweeted it, including Li Fang and Xie Lun, the male and female actors of Galaxy Era. Li Fang has more than 30 million fans on Weibo, and Xie Lun has more than 20 million fans on Weibo.
As soon as they forwarded this Weibo together, the impact was huge, and soon the Weibo became a hot search topic.
The topic "Huang Jingkun calls for a boycott of Chen Feng" suddenly rose to No. 3 on Weibo's popularity list.
Although Huang Jingkun did not mention it by name, nor did he directly specify the movie "The Man from Earth", everyone could see that it was this movie he was talking about, and it was Chen Feng who was boycotting it.
Liu Qinfei was the first to tell Chen Feng about this. As soon as she called, she quickly asked: "How did you offend Huang Jingkun?"
Chen Feng was still in front of the computer seriously coding the script, but he looked confused when he asked.
After he asked what was going on, he logged into Weibo and looked at Huang Jingkun's Weibo. He felt very speechless. Before he even took the initiative to mess with the other party, the other party came to mess with him first. Could this be cheating?
Is it the fate arranged by the system?
Chen Feng said to Liu Qinfei seriously: "I really didn't offend him.
But I guess he might want to use me to hype up his new movie."
"Are you overthinking it? If he wants to gain popularity, he won't look for you." Liu Qinfei said very directly.
Chen Feng was speechless. Thinking about it, this was really the case. However, originally he and Galaxy Era were competitors, and the system had also issued tasks. The two movies would definitely fight in the future. So now we start in advance.
, in Chen Feng’s opinion, it’s nothing.
"If you think about it carefully, how did you offend her?" Liu Qinfei asked again seriously.
Chen Feng thought about it carefully and said uncertainly: "Maybe he is jealous of me. The box office of my movie has exceeded 100 million in two days. It also happens to be a science fiction movie, and the investment is less than 1 million. And
His movie investment is as high as 580 million. So if his box office is not as high as my movie in the future, he will definitely be slapped in the face. He may have anticipated this in advance, so he suppressed me and our movie in advance.
Let our movie not continue to be a high box office hit."
Liu Qinfei thought about it, and it seemed to make some sense, but she always felt that Chen Feng's words were bragging. It was strange to hear it.
"Okay, I'll find someone to inquire again. What I mean is to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible. Otherwise, with his appeal and influence, especially the influence of the two big stars Li Fang and Xie Lun, he may really have a great influence on us."
It will have a very bad impact on the box office of the movie. You should bear with it for a while and don’t go back to the past. Otherwise, your impact on our movie will be very bad."
After hearing these words, Chen Feng felt a little bad and couldn't help but said: "He scolded me first, do I have to swallow my anger and apologize to him afterwards?"
"That's not what you said. You have no idea about Huang Jingkun's influence in our domestic film industry, let alone the influence of two big stars, Li Fang and Xie Lun, in the entertainment industry. Enemies are easy to make but not easy to break up. You don't have to
Going head-to-head with big names like them, right?"
Speaking of this, Liu Qinfei paused and added: "When you have strength in the future, you can definitely find your place again."
However, even she herself felt that this additional sentence was hypocritical and was entirely comforting.
Chen Feng is relatively talented, and his first movie was a hit, but if he wants to regain his popularity this time, it will take decades, even if it is possible.
