In the early morning of February 5, the news that the box office of "Frequency of Life and Death" exceeded 100 million was first learned by the Film Distribution and Exhibition Association.
At present, there are two main domestic institutions that count box office statistics, one is the Optoelectronics Film Special Fund Office, and the other is the Film Distribution and Exhibition Association.
The former is based on statistics from the computerized ticketing system of the cinema. However, currently, theaters that complete data reporting by installing computerized ticketing systems only exist in some mainstream theater chains in big cities, which is what the industry calls the primary market.
In the secondary market, as well as theaters in the primary market that do not have computerized ticketing systems, manual statistical reporting is still the main method.
Optoelectronics will not rush this matter. After all, it is early in the morning and they will not work overtime in order to calculate the day's box office as soon as possible.
Generally, the data from the special-purpose office will be available around noon the next day, but ordinary people cannot see it and they will not publish it.
Regarding this matter, some people have questioned the inaction of the Specialized Office in the past, but they directly said that the Specialized Office is not a social service agency, and it does not release data to the outside world.
Only a few media outlets, such as "China Film News" and "China Movie Box Office List" on Tencent.com, can obtain the data from the Special Fund Office.
The industry relies on the data reported by theater chains to the Film Distribution and Exhibition Association. There are errors in this number, but it is close to ten.
But the best thing is timely. When there are such popular schedules and blockbusters are released, the distributors and the Film Distribution and Exhibition Association will also rush each theater chain.
Members of the Distribution and Exhibition Association were the first to get the data, while others, including the media, had to wait.
As the biggest dark horse of the year in 2007 and the debut of a new director, having a box office of over 100 million is big news.
Most of the media have been waiting in the early morning for the data revealed by big companies.
The entertainment section office of Tengxun News Headquarters is now brightly lit.
The four major domestic portal websites, Xinlang, Sohu, and Wangyi each have their own characteristics. Xinlang focuses on news, Sohu focuses on entertainment, and Wangyi focuses on games.
Tengxun never has an advantage, and at the same time, it never falls behind.
We also created a "China Movie Box Office List". Through our connections, we get data from the specialized offices every day. This is the only one among the four major websites, so we are more concerned about this aspect.
At this time, the editors working overtime in the entertainment news department are still waiting anxiously.
"Why don't you come out? I don't know if I can break 100 million today."
"There should have been no problems yesterday, just a little bit."
"I don't want to work overtime until so late tomorrow. It's almost the Chinese New Year."
"It's hard to believe that Li Qian's first movie has exceeded 100 million yuan!"
"Remember, there were only 3.6 million on the first day. This is such a strong stamina!"
Suddenly, a bell rang, and an older employee quickly clicked on the message.
"broken!"
He shouted, "With on-demand screenings and zero-point screenings, the box office will be 100.1 million!"
"so close!"
"I almost worked overtime today for nothing!"
"It has exceeded 100 million. Now Ma Xiaogang is slapped in the face. At first he insisted that it would not exceed 100 million. Let's see what he says."
"Hurry up and send the news out. I'm exhausted. Go back to sleep."
...
The press release has been written a long time ago. Just make some changes now and send it out immediately.
Tengxun News was the first to announce that "Frequency of Life and Death" had a box office of over 100 million. Soon after, several other media outlets saw Tengxun's news and immediately spread the news.
By the next morning, the news that "Frequency of Life and Death" had exceeded 100 million in box office was everywhere.
Although the movie has been released for a month, with the box office exceeding 100 million, the popularity has risen again, second only to the currently showing "Yangtze River No. 7", and the recent incident of overwhelming the screen, a computer repairman caused the entire Xiangjiang Entertainment
Circle of earthquakes.
"The box office of "Frequency of Life and Death" exceeded 100 million, and emerging director Li Qian fulfilled his promise!"
"The biggest and biggest dark horse in the history of Chinese film, with a cost of tens of millions and a box office of hundreds of millions, the spring of the domestic film industry is here!"
"A new director, a cost of 10 million, and two mainland actors have created the greatest miracle of Chinese-language films!"
"First Ning Hao, then Li Qian, the new generation of directors is expected to carry the banner of the renaissance of Chinese-language films!"
"Frequency of Life and Death", which has a box office of over 100 million, and "Assembly", which is the annual box office champion. Two of the top four Chinese-language films in 2007 did not feature actors from Hong Kong. Does this mean that Mainland Mesozoic actors have the best opportunity?
?”
"The box office of his small-budget debut exceeded 100 million. Can Li Qian become the first director of the new generation?"
.......
Although the Internet has been flooded by a computer repairman from Xiangjiang, and there are discussions about Chen Guanxi's computer videos and various posts seeking seeds, "Frequency of Life and Death" is still quite popular.
Audiences who have watched the movie are also very excited about the news that the movie has exceeded 100 million yuan.
I have a sense of identity with the movies I like to watch, and I hope that the higher the box office, the better, and it will prove that I saw it right.
And sometimes the audience will quarrel over the box office of two movies. When "The Call to Action" and "Assembly Number" were first released, fans from both sides started quarreling in various forums and post bars, with all kinds of arguments.
Now, the box office has exceeded 100 million, and the fans are also sincerely happy, and they secretly say "Awesome"
"Awesome, I haven't paid attention to it for a long time, I didn't expect it to actually exceed 100 million!"
"What about those people who scold Li Qian for not knowing how to be generous? I remember last time, someone said that if the box office of "Frequency of Life and Death" could exceed 100 million, he would call everyone in the post a father. Why hasn't his son come out yet?"
"Haha, Ma Xiaogang's face is swollen now, let's see what else he has to say!"
"It's all about being awesome. I've been following Li Qian since his first movie "Sniper Phone Booth". Three movies were released in half a year. He's as productive as a sow."
"Otherwise, you would think that Li Qian, the quick shooter, is called for nothing. If he continues to film Internet movies, he will at least be able to film one film a month!"
"Now I just want to know when Li Qian will make his next movie. There are no movies to watch."
"Yes, in China, there are either costume blockbusters that we are tired of watching, cliché comedy films, and art films that we cannot watch. There are not many serious commercial films."
"Looking at the style of his previous three films, the next one should be a suspense film. I don't know what elements it will turn into this time."
...
"Frequency of Life and Death" successfully exceeded 100 million yuan, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the domestic film industry.
Until now, no one can believe it.
For such a movie, the director is a newcomer, the lead actor Zhang Hanyu has just become famous for "The Call to Action", Deng Chao was only a first-line TV star before, and Yuan Quan's title of "Drama Queen" is actually of little use.
In addition, it is neither a blockbuster nor a comedy, just a suspense film wrapped in science fiction.
As for the father-son relationship that touched countless viewers, in the "critical" eyes of professionals, it was nothing more than sensationalism.
If you watch most movies with a critical eye, you will definitely find a lot of shortcomings.
Many people, even if they look at the real box office of 100 million, are full of dissatisfaction.
How could a 24-year-old kid casually make a movie with a box office of over 100 million?
Why do so many senior directors have been making movies for so many years? Let alone over 100 million, even 30 to 50 million at the box office is a luxury!
When you watch a movie with prejudice, you will see all the shortcomings.
There are many jealous people, and they have always been so.
However, for the CEOs of various film companies, they don't care about anything else, they only have a box office of 100 million in their eyes.
This is a box office of 100 million. Last year, there were only four movies!
There are only a few directors in China who can make films with a box office of 100 million yuan.
Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, Ma Xiaogang, Li Jian, Zhou Xingchi, Chen Kexin, Yu Rentai.
There are only seven of them in total, and everyone knows that Eu Yan Tai’s "Fearless" mainly relied on Jet Li.
In addition, the other six directors are all top domestic directors.
And today, among these names, the name of Li Qian, a 24-year-old young man, must be added.
In the domestic film market, Li Qian will have a place in the future.
Coupled with the earthquake in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, the entire domestic film industry may be about to undergo a huge change.
...
It's a big deal to have a box office of over 100 million, but after finishing the last interview a few days ago, Li Qian went into rest mode.
But during the break, Li Qian was not idle either. The incident that broke out in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang was really exciting!
Just open any forum or post bar and they will all discuss that matter. The most common words are "asking for resources" and "good people have a safe life".
It took more than an hour to read all those things, and Li Qian was speechless.
"This time it has almost affected some of the most important actors of the younger generation in Hong Kong, but it is also a good thing for the mainland film industry."
Having just finished reading those indescribable things that were not very harmonious, Tong Liya's face was still a little red. She said in confusion, "Xie Tingfeng is the victim, he should be fine, and maybe the audience will sympathize with him, that's Chen Guanxi
Zhang Bozhi and Gillian Chung are the three most troublesome."
"They are not the only actors of the younger generation in Hong Kong. Several related actresses are definitely dead. Gillian Chung will be paired with Cai Zhuoyan, which will also be greatly affected. Even if Xie Tingfeng is sympathetic, but
These film and television companies must also have concerns."
Li Qian shook his head. Originally, the younger generation in Xiangjiang was a bit difficult to keep up with the work. It was mainly supported by Xie Tingfeng and his wife. Now it's better, they are all done.
In this case, the younger generation of mainland actors will really come forward.
"Li Qian."
Tong Liya suddenly shouted his name in a low voice, wrapped her two delicate arms around his waist, and rested her head on Li Qian's chest.
"What's wrong?"
Li Qian felt a little strange when he noticed that Tong Liya was a little depressed.
"You are a big director now, and many actresses will definitely join you in the future..."
"What are you talking about?"
Li Qian patted Tong Liya on the arm and interrupted her, "No matter how many female fairies miss me in the future, I will kick every one away, just like Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West", they will all be beaten to death with one stick!"
Hearing Li Qian's words, Tong Liya couldn't help laughing, "How can you kick others? Don't be so fierce. You can't hit people."
Then he said in a low voice, "But I am just a young actor. You will definitely become a great director like Zhang Yimou in the future."
As Li Qian became more and more successful, with his first movie grossing over 100 million at the box office, Tong Liya became more and more uneasy.
Something happened to Chen Guanxi again. One Chen Guanxi was involved in so many female stars, and Li Qian was much better than Chen Guanxi. He was also a director. It was foreseeable that actresses would fall on him one after another in the future.
It is not accidental that Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, and Ma Xiaogang, three of the country's top directors, all divorced because of other women.
A great director faces too many temptations, and Tong Liya is not a confident person either. There are many actresses in the entertainment industry who are prettier than herself.
Moreover, compared to Li Qian, he is an insignificant little actor, and the status gap between the two is too big.
Tong Liya was thinking wildly in her mind.
Sudden!
"ah!"
Li Qian was slapped on the butt, and Tong Liya looked at him with an aggrieved face.
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Qian rubbed Tong Liya and took her back into his arms.
He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with not being famous? You look down on me too much. I can make you a first-line star at any time as long as I am willing."
"The director of Billion Dollar Club is not called for nothing. It is very simple to choose any role I want. And have you forgotten the love story that spanned time and space I told you last time? When Guo Fan finishes his movie
, let him film it, and it will be released at the end of this year. By then it will be a big hit at the box office, and you should stop worrying about being too famous."
"Really?"
Tong Liya exclaimed in surprise, then became a little worried, "But what if I lose money if I come to act?"
Li Qian didn't take it seriously and said, "If you lose money, then I will sacrifice Guo Fan to heaven!"
"Pfft..."
Tong Liya was amused by Li Qian, she patted him and said angrily, "Brother Fan has done his best for you, but you still sacrifice him to heaven. If he finds out, he's not sure how he will scold you!"
"No matter how small the cost is, it's over a few million. After losing so much money to me, Guo Fan still wants to be safe and sound. It's not even worth selling him for so much money!"
"Then what if you lose because of me?"
"That's easy to handle, just pay off the debt yourself."
Li Qian laughed evilly, looked at Tong Liya up and down maliciously, turned over and pressed her under him.
