After two days of 620 million, "Crazy Alien" once again took home a high box office of 370 million on Saturday.
It had no rivals at the same time, and it was a comedy. Even if the reputation was not very good, it almost broke one billion in three days.
There really aren’t many other movies out there, like “Jumanji 2” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Hollywood blockbusters, as long as they have sequels, basically the previous ones did well at the box office.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is also a relatively popular Hollywood action star in China in recent years. Some disaster movies and the "Vegan Chicken" series have accumulated a lot of audience popularity.
The first part sold over 500 million in domestic sales, and the second part also did well at the box office in the first two days, taking in 120 million in two days.
There is also "The Party at Southern Station" starring Hu Ge and Liao Fan, directed by Diao Yinan who has filmed "Fireworks in the Day".
The literary film is adapted from a series of real news events.
This kind of artistic film in the style of a black silk film depends purely on the audience.
Some viewers said that the movie is the most ferocious movie in recent years. It is fierce and ferocious to the extreme, making people's adrenaline soar.
Indeed, there are murders, beheadings, fights, and escapes, but this is not the same as the fierceness and ferocity in action movies.
This refers to audio-visual language, not pictures or fighting scenes.
Some violent scenes are not small in scale, but for many action movies, they are not exciting, because they are not for the scene at all, but for the audio-visual language and style.
However, the box office was still good, taking in 40 million on the first day.
That's the limit. Being too obsessed with form is a common problem among many directors.
Just care about what you think, no matter what the audience wants to see.
The characteristic of this director is that his works are too literary, and literature is not a story. He also said before the release that he wanted the film to be closer to poetic expression.
A good movie can certainly provide a very rich space that can be interpreted in various ways, but the premise is that the content of the movie itself should have a relatively complete meaning.
The separation between form and story is too serious. It can also be said that directors like them do not shoot to cater to the audience, but try to make the audience accept what they express.
However, it is doomed to be impossible to get countless audiences to accept your content, which is still something that they are not very interested in.
This is the only Chinese-language film at this year's Cannes Film Festival, and it has just lukewarmly disappeared from the public conversation.
The highest score on the three major ticket purchasing platforms is only 7.9, which is already a rare low score. There are very few films that can score below 8 points.
The ratings on the platform are all viewers who have bought tickets. This shows that ordinary audiences are really not interested in this kind of movie.
The box office is much higher than the original "Fireworks in the Day", but the high box office is not because the movie is better, but because more people watch the movie.
With more people watching movies, the audience will sink further, and some bad movies will become easy to defraud, so there will be assembly line movies like the traffic model to make money.
"Zhu Xian" held dozens of small-scale screenings across the country on Sunday.
This screening has returned to the model of ten years ago. Plan it in advance, invite some media and film critics, put some money in, and ask them to say good things.
The screening started at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it happened to be finished at five o'clock, in the evening.
Almost half an hour later, fresh film reviews from various media, self-media, and film critics came out.
Not surprisingly, there was a lot of praise!
"I am honored to be invited to participate in the advance screening of this year's most anticipated fairy tale masterpiece "Zhu Xian". The Hong Kong film elements brought by Cheng Xiaodong make "Zhu Xian" much fresher than other domestic fairy tale films, and there are many characters
The image design is very reminiscent of old-school Hong Kong movies, which is refreshing.
The overall fighting style highlights Cheng Xiaodong's profound background and has made a great breakthrough. The actor's performance in terms of characters is also surprising. The transformation from pure to possessed is very natural, and the crying scene can even be painful to the heart."
"The male protagonist greatly exceeded my expectations for a popular star. His performance in this movie was completely online. Unlike a particularly young man who has no acting experience, his maturity exceeded expectations. In the end,
Darkening outlines the layers of the characters.”
"The failure of "Fortress" caused many people to shout that traffic has failed. However, I think this is not a failure of traffic, but a mechanism for traffic stars to promote the improvement of the mediocre and the capable. The audience has begun to promote the progress of small fresh meat.
.
In this movie, I saw a young guy who has made great progress. His acting skills are completely online. His character creation is layered and full of emotions. After becoming a demon, his master disowns him. The sect he has lived in since he was a child wants to kill him.
With the family hatred he carries on his shoulders, his inner loneliness and emptiness are vividly displayed. This is the traffic star that the audience wants to see!"
"As the daughter of the Ghost King, Baguio brought her confidence and arrogance to life, especially when she pushed Zhang Xiaofan down and locked his mouth with her mouth. Her raised eyebrows and smart and playful eyes instantly put me in the role.
Among the characters' emotions, the attitude of an unfettered young lady is also vividly displayed, and her lines are handled very well and accurately."
There is a review that praises the acting skills of the four leading actors. If you read the entire review, you can only read one word.
money!
If I hadn't received the money, how could I have lived with my eyes open and lied?
Moreover, it is obvious that 70% of the movie reviews focused on the acting skills of the four popular stars.
As we all know, the biggest doubt that the public has about traffic stars is their business capabilities.
I can't sing, dance, or act.
This wave is obviously trying to whitewash the acting skills of popular celebrities. Let’s talk about it first to dispel the audience’s concerns.
With so many spectators watching, there are always some who believe it.
In this era, people have more channels to receive information, and the more they know, the easier it is to be deceived by capital.
Because there are more channels for you to obtain information, and there are more channels for capital to inject information into you.
As long as what you hear is what others want you to hear, you are not letting capital manipulate you.
In the past, Brother Ma didn't love money. Under the bombardment of the Internet, everyone shouted "Daddy Ma."
Turning back to the 996 blessing, the media reported it wildly, and his image plummeted.
He is too easily influenced by the media and lacks certain judgment.
Moreover, every time after being deceived by the media, if you don’t gain more experience, you will still believe whatever the media says next time.
This makes the media now like to earn two eyeballs from one news, and often reverse it.
First, selectively report some, conceal certain key information, and let netizens get excited and criticize one party.
Let it ferment for a while, and then report the other half out every few days.
A big reversal, and then netizens turned their guns one after another.
After discovering that netizens are easy to deceive, it has become normal for one news to be used for two purposes.
Of course, netizens will scold the unscrupulous media for misleading them at this time, but they will still be misled next time.
Of course, this is not a problem of netizens. Even sober people can easily be swayed by public opinion.
There are too many information channels. If one or two media reports on one thing, there may be suspicion, but if there are 10, 20, or hundreds of media outlets all saying the same thing, and with all kinds of following, and deceived passers-by joining in, then you will be deceived.
It's a high probability.
This time "Zhu Xian" was screened, with tens of thousands of viewers attending dozens of screenings.
In addition to the media, film critics, self-media, and fans, they basically greeted me in advance, and all film reviews were positive.
It’s also thanks to the fact that there are so many self-media now, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough to clean up.
When all voices are positive, some people are bound to be affected.
As for why 70% is about the acting skills of the four protagonists, because the biggest question that passersby audiences have about "Zhu Xian" is the acting skills of popular stars.
In addition, the remaining 20% is about "restoring the original work".
After all, the majority of the casual audience are fans of the original novel, so of course the book fans should be satisfied.
The remaining 10% is about praise for the plot, special effects, fighting, and transformation. Of course, when you praise other aspects, you will also praise the special effects and so on.
Public relations, of course, must grasp the key points and distinguish priorities.
Not to mention, the pre-sales increase that night was not small.
There are only three days left before the movie is released, and everything is moving in favor of the "Zhu Xian" movie.
"Crazy Alien" took another 310 million yesterday and Sunday, and the total box office in the first weekend of four days was just 1.2 billion.
On the next working day, due to the poor reputation of the movie, the drop was quite obvious, with only 160 million in a single day.
Fortunately, it stayed within the 50% drop, thanks to it being a comedy and having no competitors.
I still got 150 million on Tuesday, which is pretty stable.
At this time, the highly anticipated "Zhu Xian" also had its world premiere on Wednesday evening.
Yes, it's global, and there's nothing wrong with it. As long as it's released in one overseas country, it's considered a simultaneous global release.
The previous TV series "Chen Qing Ling" starring the leading actor in the movie has also become popular in Southeast Asia, according to Penguin News, and it is said that Thailand is planning to remake it.
The location of the premiere ceremony was also the penguin placed in the stadium.
The movie premiere was turned into a large-scale show by Penguins.
Countless fans came to the stadium to attend the idol's premiere ceremony. Popular celebrities from the Penguin series appeared on stage, singing and dancing on the stage, and ogling the fans from time to time, causing waves of screams.
Originally, Chen Wu did not plan to create a big scene. There were many adults in the scene, so there was a possibility of accidents.
There are only a few hundred spectators in the cinema, except for some fans and media, and there are not many passers-by. Even if there are bad reviews, it can be controlled.
After all, the movie will not be officially released until around nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and the main time period is still in the evening. Before then, harmony on the Internet must be ensured.
However, after some consideration, I decided to go bigger.
It doesn't matter if there are not enough people. With so many popular celebrities coming, if you mobilize the fans, even if one idol comes with dozens of fans, the total number of fans from a dozen idols will be quite a lot, and most of the people in the stadium will be your own.
We are all our own people, so there is nothing to worry about. The film reviews of these die-hard fans are naturally handled by the teams of these idols.
Everything is ready, just waiting to accept the results tomorrow.
Chen Wu sat in the audience with peace of mind, as if he had seen the dawn of victory. After all, as of now, the first-day pre-sales of "Zhu Xian" have reached nearly 80 million.
There is not much moisture yet. At the beginning, it was all fans and book fans contributed. The fans’ fighting power this time is quite strong. It is not like the failure of "Fortress". Chen Wu is quite satisfied.
Later, it was mainly because of the contributions from passers-by and viewers after the show got a good reputation.
Everything is fine.
Not to mention that "Crazy Alien" has a mediocre reputation and is not a hit like "The Wandering Earth".
It has dropped to 150 million in a single day. As soon as "Zhu Xian" is released tomorrow, I will get the first daily crown.
Although it is estimated that it will not reach the 300 million on the first day of "Crazy Alien", Chen Wu himself does not expect "Zhu Xian" to become a hit, as long as it takes over 1 billion at the box office, it will be enough.
Although the cost was two to three hundred million, it was successful this time and proved that this set can be successful. Then we can cut costs next time and start mass-producing movies of this model on the assembly line.
As long as it can be mass-produced, it doesn't matter no matter how low the individual profit is.
However, it was a bit too much for everything to go smoothly, which made Chen Wu faintly worried.
In the past month, there has been no movement from Li Qian.
The current struggle between the two parties is a battle between traditional filmmakers and emerging filmmakers over the future film market model.
Either mode is of no benefit to the other party.
If the film industry can be turned into an assembly line factory, then the role of these big directors and creators will be infinitely weakened and they will become little screws in the system.
Chen Wu is not only in charge of movies, but also music and online literature.
In the online literature industry, except for their Qingdian Chinese website, some websites prohibit authors from establishing reader groups. Leaving a group account in a chapter will be reviewed and deleted, and you may even be warned.
It is nothing more than cutting off the connection between the author and the readers and preventing the author from taking away the readers after changing jobs.
The original meanings are different, but they serve the same purpose.
If you put yourself in their shoes, those directors who are here to make money will definitely not be willing to be a screw in the industry. No one will be willing to do so.
There is no action, which is strange.
However, I can't think of whether the slightest response would be enough, and the good reviews after the screening didn't bother me.
The only action was to send notices to major theaters and platforms in advance on regulating the release and screening of Lunar New Year movies.
That is to say, tell him not to buy box office tickets.
It was made clear that it was aimed at "Zhu Xian", but it was useless. I didn't buy the box office and still pushed it to 80 million pre-sales.
Chen Wu almost wanted to see Li Qian's frustrated expression at this time. It must be very wonderful.
I sent him an invitation, but he didn't come.
Chen Wu shook his head and secretly thought it was a pity.
However, despite guessing that Li Qian really had nothing to do, Chen Wu still couldn't let down his guard. Who knows what else might happen, so he still asked his men to keep an eye on him.
Time passed by minute by second, and the atmosphere of the stadium became higher and higher. After the warm-up, the protagonists finally appeared.
Another half an hour passed, all the rituals were completed, and the movie started to play.
"I'm about to fall asleep."
In the crowd, Li Qian became energetic. After sitting for a long time, the movie finally started.
Judging from the previous trailers, the poor cast, and the level of sophistication of the production, it was different from the "Zhu Xian" in my memory. In order to understand his opponent more clearly, Li Qian came to the premiere venue to take a look.
Although his movie theaters have already obtained copies, Li Qian still wants to watch it live and see the reactions of passersby to the movie.
This is the most intuitive. After all, it is the passers-by who determine the box office of a movie.
