Three weeks later, the box office of "The Man from Earth" has exceeded 800 million, and the film schedules in various theaters are basically gone.
The main reason is that the type of film has limitations.
Not everyone likes the drama-like performance format. Those who love it are particularly fond of it, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a masterpiece. Those who don't like it will find it boring. There are no big scenes, just chatting.
In addition, there are new movies being released all the time, giving it a huge impact, and the box office can be determined to be only 800 million.
But no matter Kiwi, theaters, or the industry, they all admire and are satisfied.
This is Qin Xiaobao's debut film, challenging a genre that most directors would not dare to try. An investment of 8 million yuan resulted in a box office of 800 million yuan, and it has been the box office champion for two consecutive weeks, which already shows its strength.
His job is to be a singer!
Kiwi also conveyed the news that "The Man from Earth" will participate in the Berlin Film Festival. The film was shortlisted for the Best Film, Best Director, and Best Film Critic Fibersch Awards.
I am using the second version!
This surprised the media even more than being shortlisted for three awards. You actually have a second version?
Qin Xiaobao made an explanation on his Weibo. The general content is almost the same, but many of the objects used in it have been changed to things that foreign people are more familiar with. This is why the movie was delayed, and at the end of February, "This Man"
The overseas version of "From the Earth" will be launched on three major platforms at the same time, and members can watch it for free.
Being shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival and the appearance of the second version gave a small boost, and the box office rebounded slightly. On the 22nd, it once again took over 15 million in box office nationwide.
Originally, Kiwi and the issuer had prepared some funds to invest themselves. After all, it would be better to exceed 800 million, and now they have saved it.
Those who were most shocked were the directors.
The script of "This Man Came From Earth" is really powerful. Through more channels, everyone also learned that the main body was provided by Qin Xiaobao and revised by several screenwriters. This is already very powerful.
How many people can shoot two versions of a movie in twenty days?
Not to mention that it was shortlisted for three awards at the Berlin Film Festival. By the way, Qin Xiaobao is not making a purely literary film. The first short film was a bit scary and dark? The second one is also soft science fiction. Why is it so popular?
You can selectively ignore the Horizon Award, but is it different in Berlin? Even if you are only shortlisted and don't win the award in the end, it is a kind of affirmation for Qin Xiaobao.
Needless to say, his road will be smooth sailing from now on. With a box office performance of 800 million, where is he? They complement each other, and all those big productions will be in front of him in a hurry? It’s up to you to choose.
Humans are most afraid of comparison. When everyone is not doing well? It doesn’t matter. You suddenly become famous? You will inevitably feel a sense of loss in your heart.
Who knows how to operate with a thick skin? Just enjoy the popularity on the Internet, be more reserved or indifferent? Just mutter a few words in your heart and forget it.
But no one deliberately said anything to slander or anything, Dongbaek? The bloody lessons of the three major platforms are still vivid in our minds, and in the end we didn’t get anything back? You should think twice.
Qin Xiaobao, who was accidentally at the center of the topic, was no longer in the Magic City, but appeared in the wilderness of the northeast.
Looking around, there is a vast expanse of white, the thick snow is more than a foot deep, and the birch trees on the roadside are hung with frost flowers, as beautiful as a painting.
In the fields, the "Two Days and One Night" program team is filming.
The hosts are: He Jiong, Sa Beining, Dapeng, Qian Feng, Wei Chen and Bai Jingting.
Hundreds of staff are standing opposite, and the opening is currently underway.
Qin Xiaobao, his brother, Wang Bingbing, Deng Chao and his wife, and Liu Tao were standing by with different expressions.
The most relaxed ones should be Xiaobao and Chaoge. One is on his own show, the other is a regular in variety shows, and the other four people have somewhat nervous expressions on their faces.
They arrived in Harbin yesterday, and then took several hours of driving to the county town below. They stayed one night, got up early in the morning, and were taken to the wilderness again.
I had no idea where I was going or what I was going to do, and the director who accompanied me didn’t reveal anything.
"Daughter-in-law, are you cold?" Brother Chao still took care of Sun Li.
"It's not cold. The weather is quite nice today and I'm wearing thick clothes."
Qin Xiaobao was eating dog food when he felt a slight tug behind him. He turned around and saw Wang Bingbing looking up at him, blinking. The little girl's clothes were super thick, like a ball, and there were still holes on her head.
Wearing a Pikachu hat is very cute.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Why don't you ask me if I'm cold?" The young lady twitched her delicate little nose.
Qin Xiaobao was helpless: "You are already wearing two down jackets, it must not be cold."
"Director Qin, what you say is too straight." Liu Tao smiled and said: "Miss Wang just wants to get a word of concern. Of course, if you put the clothes on her, she will be more moved."
We all met yesterday, and we already know Wang Bingbing's quirky personality and Liu Tao.
The little girl is sweet-tongued and attentive, making everyone happy. She also secretly asked Sun Li if the two were talking, and the answer she got was no. Through observation, she found that the girl seemed to be interested.
Of course, I haven't gotten very close to the two of them yet, especially my brother and the others, who seem to be used to this, so I'll leave it at that.
"That's right!" the young lady pouted.
"Xiaoming gave you a dozen warm babies just now and put them all on. Are you sure they are still cold?" Qin Xiaobao was dumbfounded.
"I won't talk to you anymore." The young lady turned her head and went over to hold Sun Li's arm.
Girls seem to have this habit of holding hands when going to the toilet.
My brother smoked a cigarette nearby and came back: "This opening time is quite long, it has already been twenty minutes."
"Xiaobao, when we go in later, what should we pay attention to?" Liu Tao was also asking.
"Just say hello normally and follow Teacher He's rhythm. But everyone, be careful. It's best to pretend that you just met."
"why?"
Liu Tao's question was quickly answered.
The guests all came on stage, and the members were a bit enthusiastic. They shouted at each other, and they were quite surprised. They had dinner together yesterday.
Later, Liu Tao asked in private and found out that it was mainly for the effect, and audience friends also liked to see the members being surprised.
Six people stood in position C. Teacher Sa was a little cautious when facing the camera and kept peeking.
He Jiong, who was making introductions over there, saw it and suddenly burst into laughter.
Deng Chao, who was being interviewed, was confused: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my makeup? I changed people today and I feel something is wrong."
His response was quick.
"No," He Jiong shook his hand: "Dapeng, do you think Teacher Sa is a little strange today?"
When the other members heard this, they all looked sideways, while Sa Beining tried his best to look calm.
The brother who was originally in the middle suddenly changed his position and came to the side of Xiao Sa, which made him want to escape.
Qin Xiaobao, Wang Bingbing and others started to laugh, while the others had question marks on their faces.
"what's the situation?"
"Teacher Sa, we finally met. I told you on the phone that you would take care of me. It's up to you today." Leslie Cheung lowered his head and stretched out his hands to shake hands.
"Brother, stop messing with me!" Sa Beining said with a sad face: "Didn't I agree that this matter is over?"
He Jiong briefly recounted the previous conversation between the two, and everyone suddenly understood and started joking around, making Sa Beining quite embarrassed.
As an insider, Qin Xiaobao admired it in his heart.
During dinner last night, it was Teacher Xiao Sa who took the initiative to find his brother and said that he wanted to tell this matter. It was an interesting little story.
After laughing for a while, the topic changed back, and the young lady was the only one left who had not yet been introduced.
"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Bingbing. I am very happy to participate in "Two Days and One Night"."
Bang bang bang bang! Everyone applauded together.
"The audience in front of the TV may not be familiar with it. Miss Wang Bingbing is a newly signed artist of Director Qin's company. She also served as a host to promote with the film crew. She can be regarded as..." He Jiong looked at Qin Xiaobao halfway through the sentence.
"The only newcomer who is highly praised." Xiaobao cooperated very well.
"Wow, you are so valued." Dapeng sighed.
"I am the only new member of the company!" Wang Bing said coldly.
Everyone was stunned: Hahahaha!
"You kid, do you know how to speak?" Qin Xiaobao pretended to be angry: "People will think our company is weak, and it will lose face."
"I know I was wrong!" Wang Bingbing lowered her head and apologized.
"That's enough for you. You sing and harmonize." He Jiong laughed: "Bingbing is from the Northeast, right? Do you have a special feeling when you come here?"
As an experienced host, when I saw Qin Xiaobao bringing Wang Bingbing over, I naturally understood that the key point was to help push him. Although he was introduced last because of his seniority, from another angle, it also had the meaning of being the finale.
"Yes, when I was a child, I grew up with my grandparents in the countryside. In the winter, it was the same as now." Wang Bingbing was very nervous when she started the interview. However, she calmed down after the interview. Qin Xiaobao next to her was still a little worried.
, I feel a lot more relieved now.
"Then what kind of entertainment are usually available in winter in the north?"
"There are many, including sledding, fishing, ice playing, and small toys that look a bit like spinning tops."
"Did you get into the water?" Qian Feng asked.
"Huh?" The young lady was stunned, suspecting that she had heard: "Into the water?"
"Just take off your clothes and jump into the river." Qian Feng added. When he was talking, the other members were also very focused.
"Of course not. There is water in such a cold world..." The word "sick" was not spoken, but everyone understood it.
"Director!" He Jiong said immediately: "Look, the locals say there is no such special event, so don't go too far!"
Everyone in the program group was laughing.
My brother was surprised: "What, you want to go into the water? Why?"
"Xiaobao, that's not what you told us at the beginning." Deng Chao was also surprised.
He Jiong said directly that so far, three episodes of the show have been recorded, and almost every episode has a part in the water. The three girls were trembling.
"How could it be possible? There are all big-name guests here today, and I don't dare!" the director explained.
"If you didn't have such a smile on your face, I would almost believe you." Dapeng exposed it directly.
"Then it's still time for me to go back." My brother tried to leave, but was pulled back again.
"Even if you get into the water, it's not everyone, as long as it's not me!" He Jiong comforted: "Look, if you can see Xiaobao, Brother Chao goes into the water..."
"Haha, I'm also looking forward to seeing Teacher He become a drowned rat." Qin Xiaobao did not give in.
The program team is naturally the happiest when they see guests and members fighting each other.
"Okay, our current location is Dingming Village, Huaxing County, but this is not the location of the base camp yet. Now, we need to group into groups first..."
