Chapter 593: Breaking the record! No. 1 in the box office of Huaguo
During this year's Spring Festival, "The Qin Empire - Zongheng" directed by Zuo Le set off a ratings frenzy.
As for the summer season, the most famous name in the film and television industry is "Let the Bullets Fly."
Zuo Le once carefully studied the time period when the original version of "Let the Bullets Fly" was released.
At that time, the audience did not clearly understand the metaphors in the movie, let alone resonate with them.
After watching the movie, countless people paid more attention to the actors' wonderful performances and crisp and capable lines.
But now times are different, the people are becoming more and more enlightened, the so-called public intellectuals have been pulled off the altar, and more and more people understand the contradictions in society and clearly understand the nature of the contradictions.
So, when a movie like "Let the Bullets Fly" containing various metaphors was released.
I dare not say that it is popular, but I can say that it is in line with the people's wishes.
So "Let the Bullets Fly" became an unexpected hit.
And it’s extremely explosive!
Many netizens and viewers compared the plot in the movie with reality and found that they fit perfectly.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Therefore, they called "Let the Bullets Fly" the "contemporary Bible" and called for it to be applied for World Heritage status. Like the timeless Soviet joke, it has become a precious spiritual wealth of mankind.
Zuo Le's previous movies were huge hits at the box office, but they never received high praise from film critics. But now, with "Let the Bullets Fly", countless film critics have praised him.
"Let the Bullets Fly"'s high score of 9.5 on Douhua proves everything, and there are endless film review articles and videos with related analysis.
There are some that really hit the mark, and there are also some that are over-interpreted and even self-proclaimed conspiracy theories.
Zuo Le did not interfere. When faced with the interview, he just said, "There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people."
His attitude is very clear, and anyone can interpret it as he pleases, but he will not admit it anyway.
Because of this, Zuo Le experienced a wave of treatment from Lu Xun.
Just like the two jujube trees in front of the door and the reason for holding an umbrella when it rains, a look or even a cough from Zhang Mazi in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" will give rise to countless expressions of thought.
Chinese language test writers who are good at reading comprehension are ushering in the spring...
As popular as the reputation and the number of film reviews are, there is also the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly".
Fortunately, when the movie was first released, the luxurious lineup of Zuo Le + three top movie stars + Yan Ni, Sha Yi, Shui Miaomiao and other popular first-line actors made it a well-deserved hit in the summer season.
In early August, the pre-sale box office window for "Let the Bullets Fly" opened. In just 24 hours, the pre-sale box office reached nine figures.
When the pre-sale box office closed, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" had exceeded 400 million.
Although this result did not break the pre-sale box office record, it was definitely among the best.
However, the pre-sale box office of up to 400 million is just the beginning.
When "Let the Bullets Fly" started to be released in theaters, word-of-mouth quickly developed, and the box office immediately ushered in a period of explosive growth.
On August 18, "Let the Bullets Fly" premiered.
On August 20, the total box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" reached 740 million.
On August 21, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded the 1 billion mark.
Although not counting the pre-sale box office, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 1 billion, and it took less than four days in total.
"Let the Bullets Fly" has also become the fastest movie in China to surpass 1 billion in box office.

The total box office of Zuo Le's personally directed films has reached 10 billion, making him the first director in China with a box office of tens of billions.
Speaking of which, Zuo Le was able to achieve this achievement through a somewhat thrilling process.
At first, Zuo Le ranked third among directors in the box office with a total box office of 8.6 billion. However, after "The Richest Man in Xihong City", he did not make a movie for several years and instead specialized in TV series.
Zuo Le is idle, but others are not idle.
Except for the first person who has retired, the second person has been working hard to make movies in the past two years.
As of the release of "Let the Bullets Fly", the total box office of this director has exceeded 9.678 billion, making him the director with the highest box office in China.
It's a pity that Zuo Le came back to kill me at the last moment. I don't know how upset I felt.
To be honest, this person is kind of bringing the blame on himself. As long as he takes advantage of the gap in the past few years to seriously polish one or two movies, it doesn't need to be very good. The quality is average and it is not difficult to be one step ahead of Zuo Le.
It's a pity that this guy insists on winning by quantity and is a high-yield racing sow, but all he made were bad movies. The combined box office of the seven movies did not exceed 1 billion.
In the end, he was defeated by one move and tasted the bitter fruit he had brewed.
Zuo Le became the first [10-billion-dollar director] in China and the most popular director in China.
But this has not yet reached his limit.
On August 27, the total box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 2.4 billion, making Zuo Le the first domestic director whose personal film box office reached 11 billion.
On August 30, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 3 billion.
Zuo Le becomes the third domestic director with two films with a box office of over 3 billion.
On September 9, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 4 billion.
Zuo Le became the sixth director in China to direct a film with a box office of over 4 billion.
On September 15, the General Administration announced that "Let the Bullets Fly" has been approved by the [Key Extension], and the theater release time has been extended by ten days.
One week later, the total box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 5 billion, ranking first in China's box office list and becoming the first movie in China to achieve a box office of 5 billion.
When the news came out, Zuo Le's momentum in the film field reached its peak.
Countless people believe that Zuo Le has the prestige and strength to succeed Zhang Kaigang and become China's number one director. He is only one Golden Dragon Award [Best Director] away from reaching the top.
And according to the current momentum of "Let the Bullets Fly", no one thinks that anyone can defeat Zuo Le.
On September 28, "Let the Bullets Fly" was officially released.
The movie's box office ended at 5.41 billion, and Zuo Le's personal total box office reached an astonishing 14 billion.
The Devil Zuo finally showed his full body form in the film industry...
Blooming with Zuo Da Mo Wang is Shanhe Film.
Last year's 4.45 billion "Operation Red Sea" made the entire film industry see the strength of Sunward Films in making blockbusters. This year's "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded the 5 billion mark, completely allowing Sunward Films to take the throne.
It is also worth mentioning that these two movies are currently the first and third highest-grossing movies in China respectively.
And this is just the epitome of Shanhe Film's most glorious performance in the box office list. Below the rankings, Shanhe Film is still dazzling.
"Wushuang" produced by Shanhe also entered the top ten, currently ranking eighth.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City", which previously ranked ninth, has now been squeezed out, but is still ranked 12th.
There are also four Shanhe movies with a box office of more than 2 billion, including "Chill", "Beautiful Heart", "Charlotte" and "Shameful Iron Fist", ranking among the top 30 at the box office.
In just a few years, Shanhe Films accounted for less than half of the box office.
The number one in the entertainment industry is worthy of its name.
