In mid-December, the Lunar New Year festival comes to its busiest time.
"Laughing in the River" and "The Orphan of Zhao" have done well at the box office. Although they have average reputation and are not a big hit, they are half the topic. However, the turmoil at the Golden Horse Awards and the ongoing scolding between Ma Dapao and Sun Dapao still make the Lunar New Year festival
Extremely lively.
On the 9th, "Let the Bullets Fly" starring the three giants Jiang Wen, Zhou Runfa, and Ge You was also officially released. After the premiere last night, nearly 3,000 viewers, as well as many media and film critics all gave their opinions
Super high rating.
As more and more audiences enter the cinema, almost all of them receive unanimous praise after watching it.
On the 10th, when the first-day box office came out, it shocked the entire industry.
30.6 million on the first day, the second film to break 30 million on the first day, second only to "Tangshan Earthquake".
This is data that no one expected, even with the three giants Jiang Wen, Zhou Runfa, Ge You, and many stars such as Chen Kun.
After all, Jiang Wen has a criminal record, and it is undeniable that he is a good director. When Zhang Yimou evaluated Jiang Wen, he said that he wanted to be a commander and would not be a soldier.
Jiang Wen's heart is very high, and he also has this ability. He hopes to surpass everyone. He doesn't say it, but in his heart he may feel that Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kai, and Jia Zhangke are nothing. He is really a person with a heart as high as the sky. I
I feel that deep down he must want to surpass contemporary Chinese directors. He is better than these people, and I believe he has such ability.
These are Zhang Yimou's original words. Just look at it and you will know how high the evaluation is.
But in the end, the box office depends on the audience. If you only care about your own ideas, no matter how capable you are, the audience may not buy it.
Jiang Wen just happens to be a person with a very strong personality. No one knows whether he will compromise.
But now, investors are relieved.
Thanks to the high reputation among viewers, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" continued to rise in the next three days.
On Friday, it went straight to 42 million, and on Saturday, it was even more outrageous, reaching 60 million in a single day.
61 million in a single day, breaking the single-day box office record of 58 million set by "Avatar" in January.
A single-day box office record in mainland film history!
Although the box office dropped to 54 million on Sunday, the total box office in the four days of release has reached a terrifying 187 million, breaking the first-week box office record of "Tangshan Earthquake".
The whole industry is going crazy!
In less than half a year, "Tangshan Earthquake", a movie that has raised the box office record of domestic movies by two levels, may be broken again!
Everyone was originally optimistic about "If You Are the One 2" and "I Am Legend" to be released at the end of the month, but they didn't expect that "Let the Bullets Fly" turned out to kill them.
However, there are some in the industry who are thumping their chests. When Jiang Wenla invested, he only found investors after Zhou Runfa and Ge You were dealt with.
Moreover, we met Ying Huang, who was eager to enter the mainland. Regardless of success or failure, he just wanted to open up the mainland market with Jiang Wen's movies.
Huayang, Bernard, Guangxian, Xiaoma, several major companies are now regretting it, especially Yu Dong, who is almost banging the table.
"Let the Bullets Fly" was released on the 9th, and Bernard was listed on the NASDAQ on the 9th.
As the largest privately-owned issuance company in China, its market value is far less than that of Huayang. On the day of listing, the market value was only US$660 million, nearly 5 billion yuan.
Moreover, the stock price fell below the issue price that day, with a drop of as much as 22%.
It can be said that it got off to a bad start and only raised more than 90 million US dollars.
If "Let the Bullets Fly" was invested by Bernard and released at the same time as its listing, such a high box office would definitely have a boost to the stock price.
However, Yu Dong could only regret it there. Who said he didn't invest in it in the first place?
I regret it all. People are like this. After something happens, they will think about why they didn't do it in the first place.
If you had to do it over again and you didn't know the future, you still wouldn't invest, even if you had to do it over ten times.
But besides regretting it, I also have to worry about whether the film I invested in will be affected.
On the weekend last week, due to the impact of "Let the Bullets Fly", "The Orphan of Zhao" only received 76 million in a single week.
50 million in the first two days, but only 76 million in the second week and seven days, which is a bit miserable.
The total box office in nine days was 126 million.
"Laughing Out Loud" was even worse, with 60 million in the three days of its first weekend, and only 58 million in the second week's seven days, with a total box office of 128 million in 10 days.
As for "Nuan Nuan Inner Light", it was 42 million last week, and only 17 million was left in the fifth week last week, with a total box office of 343 million in 32 days of release.
All have been greatly affected, and the trend has declined significantly.
Fortunately, the domestic market is large enough, and the screen expansion rate is almost 30% per year, which can fully accommodate so many films.
Otherwise, the single-day box office for a 2D movie like "Let the Bullets Fly" would not exceed that of the 3D "Avatar".
"Let the Bullets Fly" completely dominated the first half of the Lunar New Year season. After four days of release, the audience's reputation and professional reputation have reached a new height, and it is almost regarded as a miracle film.
Various details in the movie have been interpreted in various ways, completely overshadowing any entertainment news.
The bickering between Ma Dapao and Sun Dapao also ended last Saturday.
In the second week, "Let the Bullets Fly" received 220 million in seven days, which was about 10 million less than "Tangshan Earthquake" in the second week.
However, the total box office in 11 days has reached 407 million.
In 2010, the second movie to surpass 400 million, it only took 11 days.
On December 20th, there are still two days before the release of "If You Are the One" and three days before the release of "I Am Legend".
With such a powerful opponent suddenly coming, the two movies have already started full-scale publicity.
The results of the Lunar New Year stalls have also become confusing.
Regarding the prospects of the Lunar New Year film, Li Qian was frequently mentioned when he began to promote the film and was interviewed.
"I attended the premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly" and watched the movie without missing a second. From the moment the movie ended, I never doubted that it would be a hit. The quality of the movie was completely worthy of the box office."
Li Qian did not hesitate to praise this movie, and the movie can withstand any praise.
""Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 400 million in 11 days. Next, Director Li, your "I Am Legend" will face the dual pressure of "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2". The Lunar New Year movie has also changed from a two-hero competition to a tripartite one.
, are you still confident to win this Lunar New Year slot?"
"Of course, since I decided to make "I Am Legend", I have never doubted whether the audience will like this movie."
Li Qian looked confident, smiled without any humility, and then said, "But I want to correct one thing. There is no so-called tripartite confrontation. The Lunar New Year period is still a battle between the two heroes, and next will be "Let the Bullets Fly" and
The box office battle of ‘I Am Legend’.”
It was a decent interview, but Li Qian suddenly ignored the popular "If You Are the One 2" when he said this, which made the host a little confused.
However, what followed was indeed excitement.
I brought the topic to my door, I didn’t induce it!
The host quickly asked, "Does Director Li feel that "If You Are the One 2" will not pose a threat to "I Am Legend" and is not worthy of comparison?"
Li Qian didn't care and said with a smile, "Everyone knows the reputation and audience response of the first part of "If You Are the One", and the sequel was filmed almost at the same time as "Tangshan Earthquake". People's energy is always limited, and they can't take care of it.
So much."
This is the truth, the truth. "If You Are the One 2" was originally filmed hastily in order to be released during the Lunar New Year. It is also a sequel, and the first part was criticized conservatively. His reasons are very good.
...
Later, Li Qian's words were embellished and sent out, turning into news similar to "Li Qian bluntly said that he never took "If You Are the One 2" seriously, and his only opponent was "Let the Bullets Fly."
Starting from the second half of the year, "If You Are the One 2" has been one of the most popular movies, and this is still the case even if "Let the Bullets Fly" became a hit.
Li Qian directly ignored the hot topic and aroused public opinion.
But this time, even though the polished news was a bit arrogant, the audience response was still mostly supportive. After all, the first part of "If You Are the One" did have a mediocre reputation.
"Li Qian feels more and more arrogant. After criticizing the Golden Horse Award, he started attacking Ma Xiaogang again."
"A person with strength is called arrogance, a person without strength is a fool. The trailers of "I Am Legend" are very exciting. As long as Li Qian maintains his previous level, he has the right to ignore "If You Are the One 2"!"
"I vomited after watching "If You Are the One" the year before last. It was full of advertisements. I heard that the advertisements alone cost tens of millions. This "If You Are the One 2" is probably the same."
"There's nothing wrong with what Li Qian said. He was filming two movies at the same time, and Ma Xiaogang doesn't know how to clone himself, so he must have been able to cope with it."
"The trailer of "I Am Legend" is very catchy. I can't figure out how the protagonist saves all mankind in the end, but "Let the Bullets Fly" is also very interesting."
""Let the Bullets Fly" is a bit profound, "I Am Legend" is an apocalyptic science fiction film. It can be watched as a popcorn movie. Li Qian's films have always been commercial films!"
"I don't even want to watch "If You Are the One 2", so I might as well save my money and see what good movies are available in January."
...
"Snapped!"
As a person involved, Ma Xiaogang was immediately reminded to read the news. When he saw Li Qian's words and the audience's response, he became furious and couldn't help but snap his cell phone.
"This Li Qian keeps causing trouble again and again!"
