Chapter 210 New record, breaking 100 million in four days
20.9 million box office and hundreds of thousands of moviegoers.
After a day of screenings, "A Perfect World" not only swept the Lunar New Year festival at the box office, but also completely surpassed any other movie in online discussions and topics, including "2012", which has already exceeded 350 million in box office.
"It's so romantic. It's the first time I've discovered that genres other than romance movies can be so romantic. I really want someone to accompany me all the way, but why did I have to arrange for a little boy to hurt the hero in the end? At that moment Zhang Hanyu
I'm laughing, but my heart is breaking."
"I read it with a smile for more than an hour. I almost regarded that little boy as my son. I also thought about taking him out to have fun on the weekend. But in the end, I was tortured to death, and the old man burst into tears.
Already."
"Maybe this is reality. I find that the title of Li Qian's film is ironic. "Perfect World" should be changed to "Imperfect World."
"The scene at the beginning and at the end are exactly the same. I laughed at the beginning and burst into tears when I saw the last scene."
"What a heartwarming movie. The male protagonist regards the little boy as himself and pours all his love and care into it, allowing him to have the childhood that a normal child should have, making up for his lack of fatherly love. I think even if he dies in the end
If you do, you won’t regret it.”
"When I saw him shooting Zhang Hanyu, I wanted to slap this little white-eyed wolf, but now that I think about it, I didn't dare to shoot at first, but now I shoot at the person closest to me. Isn't this the leading actor?
He was taught that there is good and evil in his heart, and he must have been in pain at that time."
"Zhang Hanyu is so pitiful in this movie. Just for a letter from a bastard father who appeared out of nowhere, he never looked back and thought about his father until he died."
"That is the sustenance of his soul. Maybe he knows that his father is not a good bird, but just because his father said in the letter that he loves them mother and son, no matter whether he is a good father or not, it is better than nothing."
"I plan to let my dad watch this movie. He only knows about grades and doesn't care about anything else. When he comes home every day, he will ask if you have done your homework. If you haven't done it, go and do your homework. When you finish, go and do it.
Preview."
"In the same world, with the same father, even if I use my mobile phone to watch food while eating, I will be nagged. I wish I could finish eating in five minutes and then go do my homework immediately."
"Haha, it's the same, but you must be bad academics. In the past, as long as I passed the exam, my parents didn't care much about me."
...
20.9 million on the first day, which was within Li Qian’s expectation.
"Moon" sold 14.8 million on its first day, 5 million higher.
However, compared with the market this year and last year, there is not much growth.
After all, the genre is not as attractive as science fiction films, so it was quite satisfactory on the first day.
Of course, for a director who was once in the top five box office lists in mainland film history, it is quite satisfactory.
There is also the factor of film scheduling. Even if 600 film copies are released, only 55% of the films are scheduled, which is not as good as the 60% of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" once it is released.
The bigger the market, the more intense the competition.
Now, seven movies with good box office releases are released at the same time, and they can get 55% of the film schedule, which is entirely due to Li Qian's fame.
Needless to say, "2012" had a box office of over 100 million in a single week last week. This is already its fourth week. Previously, it had a box office of 9 million per day.
Even though "A Perfect World" grabbed most of the scheduled films, this phenomenal Hollywood blockbuster still took in 6 million at the box office on the 4th.
In its third week of release, "Mulan" managed to maintain a single-day box office of over one million.
It was close to 30 million in the first week. In the second week, because I spent all my money on promotion regardless of the cost, I was on CCTV again. When the reputation was not good, I actually reversed the decline and got 37 million in the second week.
Now in the third week, it only took 4 days to get 5 million box office. This drop is shocking. No one would doubt that it was a hit in the second week.
But it's obviously not a scam. The 30 million yuan for promotion is there. If it can't support the box office for a week, then the 30 million yuan is not worth it.
Now it seems that the box office is only over 60 million, which is not enough to cover the cost.
Zhao Wei's ancient costume blockbuster failed miserably, but she went to Singapore as early as last Saturday to wait for her childbirth.
"Cohabitation in Time and Space" has been in theaters for more than 20 days, with only over 2 million left in a single day. The total box office has just reached 170 million, and the final estimate is just over 180 million.
The competition is too great. If there were no "2012" or "Mulan", it would be very possible for any one of them to exceed 200 million.
In addition, there are two Hollywood blockbusters released at the end of November. The North American box office of "Twilight" is close to 200 million US dollars. When it was first released, there were more than a dozen domestic film schedules.
Although the box office was not very good, only over one million a day.
Another high-reputation science fiction film, "District 9", also sold over 100 million US dollars in North America. However, because there were already resources online, the box office was similar, less than 2 million US dollars a day.
The two Hollywood blockbusters didn't make much at the box office, but together they accounted for a lot of film schedule at the beginning.
However, with the release of "A Perfect World", whether it is the two newly released Hollywood blockbusters or the previous three movies, the living space has been further squeezed.
20 million on the first day is definitely a big hit, even by the standards of a major director.
When the media reported box office information, they also used words like sweeping the Lunar New Year festival.
20 million on the first day, the reputation is very high, and it also puts a lot of pressure on other competitors at the same time. Whether it is "Three Guns" released next week, or "October Siege" and other three movies released next week.
However, all the major companies have watched this movie and they all agree that it is a good movie and very touching. With Li Qian's reputation, the box office will not be low, but it won't be much higher. After all, it is a simple drama.
The high box office on the first weekend may be because of Li Qian. You will know when the first working day comes and you look at the drop.
To take a step back, other movies will be released in less than half a month, and the one I am most nervous about is "Three Guns."
Zhang Weiping looked at the box office data and recalled yesterday's news that Li Qian called him a mad dog. His face was very ugly.
Although it was originally just for publicity, he was eager to quarrel with Li Qian.
But Li Qian directly called him a mad dog, which Zhang Weiping didn't expect.
This is the first time I have met such a person in so many years. He doesn't follow any rules at all. He is simply a barbarian. He does not look like a top student who graduated from 211 University at all.
For a moment, Zhang Weiping didn't know how to respond. If he was too emotional, he would be called a fool.
Don't be excited. Others think you are easy to bully and call you a mad dog. You have no temper at all.
"I have watched "A Perfect World", and it is just a movie that is deliberately sensational and deceives the audience into tears."
"I still say that "Three Guns" is the most anticipated movie during the Lunar New Year. Our goal is at least 400 million. This is a conservative estimate. Our estimate is well-founded and is obtained through comprehensive scientific statistics.
in conclusion."
"As for Li Qian, I have nothing to say. Even if he bites me like a mad dog and won't let go, I won't waste my time arguing with him. There is no need to argue with such a person. I am a
A well-educated literary and artistic worker will not waste time on such meaningless things."
...
Zhang Weiping started looking for the stairs and raked them down.
Li Qian didn't find it strange either. Best called him a mad dog at the premiere because he just didn't want to waste time with him.
This kind of person is caught and scolded everywhere. In addition to hype, he is nothing more than pursuing psychological pleasure.
It feels good to scold this, criticize that, and point out the country.
But because the people he scolded were far inferior to him in the industry, no one directly scolded him back.
Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, and Ma Xiaogang were scolded by him more than once, but none of them used excessive words. Wang Yuelun was scolded before, and although he retaliated, it was not considered a rant.
I scold you, but you don't dare to talk back, don't you feel good about it?
If you meet someone who yells at you, you will most likely have to find a way to get off by yourself.
Gong Li had previously ridiculed him as a mad cow and thought he was self-righteous, so Zhang Weiping was talking to himself, saying that he would never cooperate with Gong Li in the future, and then he became silent.
Li Qian didn't want to scold him. Arguing was unreasonable and did not require logic. No one could win the argument unless there was a fight and the other party did not dare to say anything.
This is not like a debate. There are rules, referees, and rules. It is impossible to refuse to admit defeat.
We carried out publicity step by step, roadshows in theaters, interviews on several portal websites, special programs on movie channels, and meetings at several universities. The schedule for the next 20 days was full and there was no time at all.
Coming to Shanghai on Friday, the top ten ticket holders will definitely be the focus.
The first stop in the Magic City is the Grand Guangming Cinema on Nanjing West Road, which was once the number one cinema in the Far East. He is much older than Wu Gang, the eldest member of the crew.
The two-story screening hall with more than 1,300 people was packed to the rafters.
This was renovated last year, otherwise the theater would have 1,900 seats.
Even though it is not a big production, and it does not have a twists and turns and bizarre story, the audience's enthusiasm has not diminished at all.
Moreover, Li Qian also noticed that the majority of the audience were adults.
"Hello Director Li, I am also the father of a child. I felt a lot after watching the movie yesterday, so I learned that the crew of the Grand Guangming Cinema will be here today, so I came here specially. I want to ask Director Li something."
"Please say."
The father paused and said with a sad face, "I don't have a good relationship with my child. To be precise, we are both very busy. We are both very busy at work, and the child is taken care of by his grandparents and lives with us.
, now nine years old..."
The father babbled for a long time, saying that the parents were short-tempered, since they were just father and son anyway, and the relationship between mother and son was not very good.
Li Qian was stunned after hearing what he said. How could someone ask such a question at a movie roadshow?
Even if I go to various parent groups, forums, or even Baidu, how come it is the turn of a young man like Li Qian to answer this question?
If it really doesn't work, judging by the way this eldest brother is dressed, he can be considered a successful person, so you can ask some education expert.
"Brother, your question is a bit over the top."
Li Qian smiled bitterly and looked at Wu Gang next to him, "Why don't Teacher Wu Gang explain it? Your child is 13 and has already passed the age of 9."
"I..."
Wu Gang was a little dazed. He was a supporting character in the movie, and he looked so familiar. Why did he speak by himself in the first place?
But for middle-aged people, children are probably the ones who chat the most among peers, and this issue is his specialty.
"Excuse me, are your children naughty?"
"That's not true. There is still no problem with my parents' education. It's just that he has become more and more familiar with us. He doesn't pester us for pocket money. He wants to play with him. If he needs anything, he can go to his grandparents."
The father smiled bitterly. He was so naughty that he could get away with it by giving him a beating. However, the silent alienation between father and son made him even more sad.
"Actually, I understand. I am often away from home. When I came home, I would pester me for gifts and take him to play. Later, when I came home, he didn't respond at all and was busy doing his own thing in the room."
As an actor, Wu Gang was deeply touched by this, "I felt the same way at the time. I was very sad. Then I didn't have to go out to film for a period of time. I was able to go home more often. I stayed with him whenever I had time. He had a dog
Cat likes small animals, likes music, and is learning the guitar. No matter what he wants to do, I will accompany him, and he gradually gets closer to me, and he tells me everything."
Li Qian came to summarize again. He didn’t know how to educate his children, so he didn’t know how to summarize. He was a class representative from junior high school to high school.
"In fact, what a child needs most is the company of his parents, who can accompany him to do things that make him happy, and can comfort and enlighten him when he is unhappy.
If you get good grades in the exam, praise them a lot. If your grades drop, don't scold them too much. Just like in my movie, Wu Lei stole a game console. Stealing is definitely wrong. First, let the children understand what
Don't blame them too harshly for right or wrong, because at their age, they can't tell right from wrong in many things.
It is necessary to make him realize that his behavior is wrong and how to remedy it after making a mistake. The purpose of education is to make the child better, rather than to make a true or false question. If it is right, put a check mark and if it is wrong, put a cross.
A celebrity once said that companionship is the longest confession of love. This also applies to the parent-child relationship. Regardless of joy, anger, sorrow, parents, as the closest people, should accompany their children to experience it all. In this case, how can the children
I’m not close to my parents.”
Li Qian was not unfamiliar with knowledge points that he had never experienced before. He opened his mouth and talked about it non-stop.
There are 1,300 spectators, many of whom have children. For parents, children’s education has been a big problem since ancient times.
The Great Guangming Cinema, a good road show, suddenly turned into a parent-child education lecture hall.
Li Qian, Wu Gang and Zhang Hanyu, who have children, turned into education experts and started taking classes.
Deng Chao was embarrassed. This was a blind spot in his knowledge and he couldn't get a word in.
However, hearing about the family problems of this audience member also made Deng Chao worried.
He is just thirty this year, and he is a man in his thirties. He has already discussed with Sun Li to get the certificate before the Spring Festival, which is his birthday on February 8th.
Of course, I have thought about having children. Children are so cute. Looking at other people's chubby children, Deng Chao couldn't help but want to pinch his face.
But now that I hear it, I wonder why these people’s children are so worried.
Well, I completely forgot that when I was a child, I was also a bad student known throughout the school and was about to be expelled.
Wu Lei was even more confused. Listening to these conversations that he still couldn't understand, his little face was full of question marks.
...
Not only the Grand Guangming Cinema, but also during my two-day stay in the city, there were many activities and I occasionally met parents like this.
One parent even said that he was encouraged by his son to watch the movie.
However, their family is very harmonious and the parent-child relationship is very close, but they are often beaten.
In the past two days, relying on its high reputation, the box office of "A Perfect World" has continued to rise, with 24.6 million on Friday the 5th and as high as 27.8 million on Saturday.
The genre is niche, and some moviegoers who were originally waiting to watch began to enter the cinema one after another after the first day.
A niche genre, in the hands of an unknown director, is truly niche.
But in the hands of a big director, there is no such thing as small or niche. The director's reputation is enough to make niche genres acceptable to most audiences.
No one liked "Assembly" before it was released. It's a military movie. When you hear this genre, you can imagine many movies with the main theme.
But Ma Xiaogang is very famous. In terms of box office appeal, the three superstars Jet Li, Andy Lau, and Kim Sung-wu, plus Chen Kexin, can't suppress him.
As long as you make one good movie after another, the audience will have enough new trust in you.
Of course, unless it's some art film that's so mysterious and mysterious that ordinary audiences can't understand it, then there's really nothing you can do about it.
A crime road movie like "Perfect World" relies on its simple but touching plot, the actors' wonderful performances, and the box office appeal accumulated by Li Qian to achieve its current box office.
73.3 million in three days, which is already second only to the two Hollywood blockbusters this year, "Transformers 2" and "2012".
On the fourth day, Sunday, the film schedule of "Perfect World" has increased to 65%, and except for "2012", there is basically not much room for survival.
No matter how good a movie is, it will inevitably see a drop in box office on Sunday. After all, I have to go to work tomorrow, and watching movies is not as important as going to work.
However, with the support of word-of-mouth and film schedule, it still received 26.8 million, which was only 1 million less than Saturday.
In the four days of the first weekend, the total box office exceeded 100 million, reaching a staggering 100.1 million, setting a record for the fastest Chinese-language film to exceed 100 million.
