As a [national-level] TV series, the influence of "Wulin Gaiden" is here. The director and starring actors are all top-notch in the country. In addition, the box office performance is good, so it has naturally attracted the attention of major media.
From the beginning of the pre-sale box office window, "Wulin Gaiden" has been appearing online and offline. By yesterday's first day of release, the popularity has reached a climax, even faintly surpassing the most popular movie "After".
This movie, adapted from a well-known diva's classic song, received a bad reputation after its release, but the box office has been pretty good.
Love movies like this with the theme of "she/him I missed in those years" can easily touch the excitement of the love-hating relationship between men and women in reality, and many people gather their friends and go to the cinema to reminisce about their lost love.
The most important thing is that after watching the movie, you can also post it on your friends circle...
Now, "After" has been released for nearly 14 days, entering the exhaustion period of the release cycle. The box office is approaching 1.2 billion, making it the second-ranked movie this summer.
Ranking first is the Hollywood superhero movie "Aquaman", with a box office of 2.17 billion. It was released in early July and has now been released.
However, with a super high box office of 2 billion, "Aquaman" is very likely to win this year's summer championship.
In addition to these two movies, there are two other movies that are currently in theaters during the summer and are expected to reach the 1 billion mark.
"Qingliu Is the Wind That Blows by You" is a youth comedy movie. It is also a movie under the banner of youth love, but the quality is not bad, with a Douhua score of 8.4, which is considered to be the movie with the best reputation this summer.
However, the shortcoming of this movie is that the main creator is too little famous. Except for the heroine, who is a relatively famous little girl, most of the others are newcomers or 18th-tier street artists.
The film studio's capital and energy were also average, and the promotional resources invested were limited. In addition, it had a somewhat conflicting theme with "After", and the box office results were significantly lower than the film itself.
Industry insiders are optimistic that it can reach 1.5 billion, but with the current box office trend, reaching 1 billion depends on luck.
The remaining film is "Wulin Gaiden", which is also generally considered to be a rival to "After".
After the first day of release, the box office performance lived up to expectations. It is hard to say whether it can surpass "After", but there is a high chance of breaking into the 1 billion club.
Frankly speaking, compared with last year, this year's summer box office performance has obviously declined.
It's already mid-August, and the total box office for this year's summer season is less than 10 billion. You must know that at this time last year, it was already close to 14 billion.
People who originally felt that the film industry had entered a cold winter period have become more firm in their judgment.
Various negative remarks began to appear on major online platforms in early August.
Some people even used this to ridicule Zuo Le, saying that if he did not develop a good TV series in the market and had to plunge into the quagmire of movies, he would lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds.
However, Zuo Le is not very pessimistic about this.
It is true that the Chinese film market has not made much progress in recent years, but this is mainly due to the current economic trend and is only a temporary phenomenon.
After years of cultivation, China's younger generation has developed the habit of watching movies, and the movie market has fully developed.
There is no progress, it just indicates that it has entered a period of stagnant development. It is a bit premature to say that it is going backwards or even entering a cold winter period.
Many people compare last year's summer box office with this year's, which is biased.
Last year's summer box office total was so high because of the release of a phenomenal blockbuster movie, which grossed nearly 4 billion in box office, ranking second in the domestic box office rankings.
Moreover, this movie not only broke out on its own, but also inspired the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies, which had a certain promoting effect on the performance of other movies in the same period.
Therefore, the entire summer season of 2020 finally won a total box office of 17.6 billion, setting a new record for the total box office of China's summer season.
Those who badmouth the movie market, whether they do it unintentionally or intentionally to gain public attention, directly ignore the special situation last year, and then crudely define the laws of market development, believing that this year's summer box office total should be even better.
Isn’t this trying to force someone into a difficult situation?
To be honest, the movie market may have shrunk a bit this year, but overall it is still within the normal range.
In the two-month summer period, four 1 billion-rated movies were released, one of which even exceeded 2 billion. How can this result be considered qualified?
Zuo Le ignored those negative remarks and did not shake Shanhe's confidence in entering the film industry.
Moreover, on the day "Wulin Gaiden" was released, Goldfinger once again showed off his power, giving him three new movies in one go.
Zuo Le, who was always determined, became more confident with the help of Golden Finger. He even started to think about which new movie to choose during the promotional road show.
Just when I was thinking about the new movie, the box office of "Wulin Gaiden" was also rising.
On August 13, the box office increased by 84.32 million, and the total box office reached 334.7 million.
The day's box office ranking surpassed the popular "After" and "The Wind That Blows by You", ranking first on the day.
Two consecutive days of excellent results also allowed theaters to see the potential of the "Wulin Gaiden" movie and increase the number of films scheduled to reach 35%, accounting for almost one-third of the market share.
And "Wulin Gaiden" also lived up to expectations.
On August 14, the box office exceeded 100 million, and the total box office reached 440.23 million.
It once again beat the same period and won the box office championship on the 14th.
At the same time, "Wulin Gaiden" is also the third movie this summer to have a box office of over 100 million in a single day after "Water King" and "After".
Unfortunately, the momentum could not be maintained on the second day. Although the theaters gave the movie "Wulin Gaiden" an additional 2% ranking rate, the box office dropped slightly.
On August 15, the box office was 90.14 million, with a total box office of 530.14 million.
Including pre-sale box office, the movie "Wulin Gaiden" exceeded 500 million in four days, and its momentum was comparable to that of "Water King" when it was first released.
However, the peak period of "Wulin Gaiden" was too short.
In the early stage, fans of the "Wulin Gaiden" drama received a bonus. Once fans of the drama subsided, the box office growth slowed down significantly.
On August 16, while still maintaining a film schedule rate of over 30%, the movie "Wulin Gaiden" only had 78.63 million, and it was safe and sound to retain the top spot at the box office.
On August 17, the daily box office of "Wulin Gaiden" dropped again, only 70.89 million.
On that day, a new action blockbuster was released and won the box office championship of the day, with the movie "Wulin Gaiden" ranking second.
On August 18, the movie "Wulin Gaiden" was released for one week, with a total box office of 744.55 million.
There are still three weeks left, and although the box office growth is far less than the first week, it is not a big problem to get another 4.5 billion.
"Wulin Gaiden" movie is safe to break 1 billion, but it is too difficult to surpass "After".
Its box office has exceeded 1.38 billion, and with one week to go, it is still very stable to win 1.5 billion.
On the contrary, "Qingliu Is the Wind You Blow" has now entered the final stage of box office growth and is expected to almost exceed 1 billion.
Among the remaining newly released movies, there are not any impressive new ones. If there are no accidents, "Wulin Gaiden" will almost be ranked third in the 2021 summer season.
For a fan-favorite theatrical version of the movie, this achievement is already quite outstanding.
Zuo Le himself is also very satisfied. His debut film has exceeded 1 billion, which does not disgrace his style as a famous director in the industry...
