""Perfect World" exceeded 100 million in four days. After "2012", the Lunar New Year period once again ushered in a peak of movie viewing!"
"The fastest Chinese-language film to break the 100 million record in history, "A Perfect World" creates a perfect start!"
"The best tear-jerking movie of the year, "A Perfect World" focuses on the protagonist who escapes from the social order and how he builds his own perfect world in the corners of law and morality!"
"With a box office of over 100 million in four days, Li Qian is expected to become the second director in the history of Chinese films to have a box office of over 400 million!"
"The most touching emotions are often shown by the simplest plot. The talented director Li Qian used a completely different style to show a simple story that makes people cry."
"The most healing crime movie in history. Never underestimate the kindness of ordinary people. Maybe people are really different. After some people are injured, they will hurt others twice as much, while some people will do their best to prevent others from hurting others.
In spite of his own injuries, Director Li Qian perfectly expressed the truth, goodness and beauty of this world to the audience."
...
Breaking 100 million in four days!
Even though the box office on Friday and Saturday continued to rise, when the box office on Sunday came out, the entire film industry lost its voice when looking at the numbers that even the units had changed.
What kind of concept is this? The first Chinese-language film that exceeded 100 million yuan in four days just appeared.
It was created by a crime road movie like "A Perfect World", and it really shocked everyone's eyes.
Among the previous movies that have grossed more than 300 million yuan, "Red Cliff" has grossed nearly 90 million yuan in four days, and "If You Are the One" has grossed 80 million yuan in four days.
The only Chinese-language film with a box office of over 400 million, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", also took five days to cross 100 million, 117 million in five days, and was still three to four million short of 100 million in the first four days.
Although it was a gift film, with more than a hundred stars joining the cast, it was undoubtedly a blockbuster. The lineup far surpassed any other movie, and it had no problem approaching 100 million in four days.
But "A Perfect World" is a somewhat touching road crime film, with some comedy elements at most, a completely niche genre.
The biggest selling point of this movie is Li Qian, the director.
"Is it possible that Li Qian has such great box office appeal now?"
This is the only reason, it's simply terrifying.
However, regardless of the reason, the data that exceeded 100 million in four days prompted the industry to once again conduct a more detailed and comprehensive analysis of "A Perfect World".
The actors are highly accomplished, the plot is touching, Li Qian is famous, and except for the last fifteen minutes, the previous plot is somewhat funny.
Huayang Media, Huang Zhongjun, holding an analysis report, touched his chin and thought carefully.
"Otherwise, let Ma Xiaogang add some comedy elements to "Tangshan Earthquake"?"
"You can have this."
Huang Zhonglei nodded, "Even with a big earthquake, it can't be too painful to film. It just so happens that Ma Xiaogang is best at comedy. Interspersed with a little laughter can also make the audience less uncomfortable while watching the movie."
The two brothers actually didn't have much confidence in the movie "Tangshan Earthquake", otherwise they wouldn't have worried about losing money and sold half of their shares to other companies after the Tangshan government gave away 50 million.
It's too bitter and depressing, and the audience won't buy it. "Jinling! Jinling!" is a very good negative teaching material.
But I still have to ask Ma Xiaogang for his opinion. After all, "If You Are the One" has exceeded 300 million and is very impressive. The two brothers have to take good care of it, and more than half of the filming of the movie has been completed.
...
"let me consider it."
Ma Xiaogang, who was filming in Tangshan, hung up Huang Zhonglei's call with no expression on his face and immediately smashed the phone on the table.
He slammed the script and yelled, "Laughing with tears in my eyes, I'm laughing so hard!"
There are no outsiders around, just the screenwriter, photographer, executive and a few leading actors. But even if there were outsiders, Ma Xiaogang, who took over 300 million in box office last year, wouldn't care so much.
Seeing him getting so angry and people around him looking at each other, Chen Daoming couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
"Let me add some funny plot to it. Isn't this just messing around? They don't know shit about movies!" Ma Xiaogang said in a muffled voice.
The two brothers are becoming more and more lenient in their control. Even if they plug people in, it meets his requirements, but it directly interferes with the content of the movie!
When Li Qian worked with Guang Xian before, he heard that Guang Xian didn't interfere in the filming of Li Qian's movies and didn't care about anything.
When I got to him, I asked him to praise people and interfere with the content of the movie.
Forget about praising young actresses, give young girls a chance. After all, the prime period of an actress's acting career is only a few years, and she can't afford to delay it.
...
Even Huang Zhongjun, who has no movie released during the Lunar New Year period, is so concerned about "A Perfect World", let alone other companies.
Yu Dong, who originally regarded "Three Guns" as his biggest rival, immediately regarded "Perfect World" as his number one rival.
It exceeded 100 million in four days. As far as this data is concerned, no matter what type of movie it is or what the situation of the movie itself is, we must pay enough attention to it.
As for the two blockbusters "The Storm 2" and "The Tomb", especially Alexander, they will be released the day after tomorrow, while "Three Guns" will be released one day later than them, and will be released the day after tomorrow.
There is a tiger in front and a hungry wolf behind!
If it weren't for the fact that "A Perfect World" is an ordinary drama, they wouldn't have released it at this time.
But now, who would have thought that an ordinary drama film would sell 100 million yuan in four days!
The major investors of "Wind and Cloud 2", including Yindu, Chengtian, Huanyu, and Baodao Film and Television, the investor of "The Legend of the Tomb", were all going crazy. They visited major theaters one by one to try to get enough film schedules.
"Perfect World"'s Sunday screenings have risen to 65%, and "2012" has 20%.
Even though "2012" has been in theaters for four weeks, it still grossed close to 60 million at the box office last week.
There is not much room for these two movies to be squeezed into the schedule, leaving little room for "The Wind and Cloud 2" and "The Tomb" to survive.
What's more, there is "Three Guns" a day later. The investment and promotion of these two movies have reached 100 million. If one of them is not successful, it will lose all its money.
...
Urgent, everyone is anxious.
Zhang Weiping was also anxious and angry. Although the production cost of "Three Guns" was not high, only 50 to 60 million, Zhang Yimou had not made a movie for two years and had not made much income in two years. He was just waiting for this movie to make a fortune.
.
What's even more worrying is that the film schedule that was originally agreed upon has been cancelled!
"Mr. Zhang, hello..."
"Mr. Wang..."
"Mr. Xu..."
The phone calls ended unhappily one after another, and the theater chains that used to hate him deeply, but had nothing to do with him and still wanted to greet him with smiles, all changed their faces.
"Snapped!"
After calling the top twenty theater chains in China one by one, there was no good news. Zhang Weiping was so angry that he threw his phone against the wall.
An Xiaofen, the marketing director who saw the new picture in front of him, couldn't help but said, "Mr. Zhang?"
"A bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!"
After venting his emotions, Zhang Weiping gradually calmed down.
Having built this industry from scratch, Zhang Weiping is not a brainless person, but he has enough status in the industry to allow him to speak and act without brains.
You have to use your brain to look forward and backward in everything you do. Are you tired?
But now, he can't help it.
Originally, "399" was released on Thursday, and it could get 37% of the film schedule on the first day. This was negotiated after "A Perfect World" took out the box office on the first day.
After all, it is Zhang Yimou. If he is compared to an idol, then all movie theaters in the country will be die-hard fans and will believe in him unconditionally.
"Perfect World" sold 20 million on its first day, and there were also two blockbusters, "2012", which still has a strong reputation, and "The Storm 2" and "The Tomb".
With so many theater chains able to schedule 38% of the films, it's not just a die-hard fan, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a fan.
But now, "A Perfect World" has exceeded 100 million in four days, nearly 28 million in a single day, and the drop on Sunday was minimal.
Even if you are not optimistic about this genre, if you go by this data, all movie theaters will become fans of "A Perfect World" as long as they have brains!
With the leading movie, there is no shortage of other blockbusters, and theater chains and movie theaters suddenly become more assertive.
The first-day film schedule of "Three Guns" dropped directly to 28%. If the attendance rate of "The Storm 2" and "The Tomb" were not bad, it would probably not even reach 28%.
This is going to cost Zhang Weiping his life, but asking him to be humble and ask for film arrangements is even more uncomfortable than killing him.
He could already think of the theater chains and movie theaters that had pleased him in the past, and now they were all arrogantly waiting for him to come and submit.
In the past, theater chains had nothing to do with him. After 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, now theaters with no shortage of movies have become the active party.
...
Li Qian could also imagine how anxious his opponents were. The four major theater chains of China Film and Television shared this good news with him.
What was expected was that since Zhang Weiping offended all the theater chains, such a day would come.
As long as there is no shortage of movies in movie theaters, the grievances accumulated by movie theaters and theater chains for many years will be enough to drown Zhang Weiping.
If there are movies that are successful enough to be released, there is no need for you to do it, even if it is Zhang Yimou.
There's nothing to lose if you don't let it go. When faced with the enemy, the choice of the cinema is obvious.
However, before the day passed, Li Qian received another message early on Tuesday morning.
"Mr. Hong, you said Zhang Weiping took the initiative to lower his share of the profit?"
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah, okay, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Li Qian shook his head secretly.
Zhang Weiping contacted the top ten theater chains in the country last night and took the initiative to reduce the box office share.
But it’s not all reduction. Initially, he wanted to get 43% for the amount less than 400 million, and 41% for the amount over 400 million.
It was the first time that Zhang Weiping took the initiative to make concessions to theaters.
But how could the theater chain, which took the initiative, get him so cheaply? In the end, the dividing line of 400 million became 250 million.
For the box office of less than 250 million, the distribution and producer share is 43%, and the part exceeding 2 points is reduced by 41%.
I forced the theaters to increase their share of the revenue, but at the critical moment I still reduced it myself.
Although the two-point split is over 250 million, it is still enough to tempt the theaters.
If it weren't for "A Perfect World", with 300 million as the dividing line, theaters would have agreed.
After all, "Golden Armor" sold 290 million in 2006. Three years later, the market has doubled.
According to the news from the theater chain, the top ten theater chains basically signed the contract without thinking for a long time, and some theater chains have begun to increase the film schedule of "Three Guns".
The higher the box office, the greater the profit for the theater. The theater hopes for a higher box office than Zhang Weiping.
This move also greatly stimulated "Feng Yun 2" and "Ci Ling", and the biggest victims were these two families.
But they can't do the same thing. With the current situation, if they negotiate with the theaters to arrange one or two movies for a movie with a box office of over 100 million, the theaters can't do anything because they don't have any extra movies to schedule for them.
Li Qian was not affected at all. Based on the figure of over 100 million in four days, it is impossible for theaters to skip his film schedule.
What's more, yesterday, Monday, it received another 16.3 million box office in a single day, a drop of only 40%. The trend couldn't be better.
This drop on weekdays can almost predict the trend after "A Perfect World".
The outside world's evaluation is exactly the same as the movie's box office performance. Since the day it was released, I have never heard praise for this movie on the Internet. 90% of the audience from all walks of life have given the movie a favorable review.
Not only the Internet, but in reality, the paper media also did not hesitate to praise this film.
Not only the four major photoelectric companies as distributors, but also in places outside the four provinces where they have no influence, and even national newspapers, there is no shortage of reports about the movie.
"Perfect World" is also on the front page of print media such as Southern Weekend, Qilu Evening News, and Yangtze Evening News, which are among the top ten newspapers in the country in terms of circulation.
The same is true for the People's Daily. On the first day of release and the news that it exceeded 100 million in four days, it also made the headlines of the 20th edition of the literary review page twice.
But not only as entertainment news, the front page of the twelfth social section of the People's Daily the next day was also "Perfect World."
"A Perfect World - a movie all parents should see!"
"Recently, young director Li Qian's new film, the crime road movie "Perfect World", was released nationwide, but this is not only a crime road movie, but also a movie about family, parent-child relationship, and children's education.
.
An unfortunate man who has been without a father since he was a child, in order to prevent another little boy from having a similar experience to himself, becomes an unfortunate person like himself in the future, he tries his best to show him the beautiful and tender side of the world, replacing the role of a father.
We can see in our film that it is precisely because of the education of this "father" that the originally cowardly, inferior, timid, and introverted little boy finally became a brave, clear-minded, cheerful, and sunny child.
Parents not only have to work hard to raise their children and play with them, but they are also their guides to the real world. In adolescence, parents’ education is more important than anyone else.
A child's childhood is only once. If some things are missed, they may never be made up for, and may even cause regrets that are difficult to make up for in the child's life, because time cannot be turned back, and what has passed is gone.
In today's society, more and more parents are busy with work and neglect the education of their children, leaving them to teachers and grandparents. Maybe teachers and grandparents can educate their children well in their studies and life, but they can never replace their parents.
function.
Family care is the best education for children. These emotions permeate through the process of companionship, creating dependence and trust. Children have an incomparable desire for family affection, and the story of growing up with them is the warmest fairy tale.
."
.......
As the second largest newspaper in circulation in the country, "People's Daily" gave "Perfect World" such a high evaluation in its social section, which was unexpected by everyone.
