Everyone thought that "Infernal Affairs" was just a matter of good luck, so the box office exceeded "Monsters 2".
Even if it lasted more than three days, it was just because during that period, the discussion of "Infernal Affairs" became more intense, and there was no need to discuss the plot of a science fiction film like "Monsters 2". At most, everyone could lament the power of the monsters or the special effects.
sharp.
Because of this reason, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" was higher than that of "Monsters 2", but after the second week, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" still firmly suppressed "Monsters 2".
It was not suppressed for just one day or two or three days as everyone expected, but suppressed for a week continuously!
Maybe it was because the online discussion of "Infernal Affairs" was higher than that of "Monsters 2" a few days ago, so the movie's box office feedback was higher than that of the other movie.
But after another week, the enthusiasm for discussing the movie has dropped a lot. The box office of "Infernal Affairs" still suppresses the opponent. This is obviously not a question of the popularity of the movie.
In the final analysis, it all comes down to the quality of the movie. "Infernal Affairs" is the kind of classic movie that can be watched over and over again, while "Monsters 2" is the kind of popcorn movie that can be watched once.
This is equivalent to when we listen to a song. When we hear a good song, it may not be so amazing at first, but the more we listen to it, the more we like it. We can listen to it again and again, and it still sounds good after many years.
There is also the kind of song that has a catchy melody. It sounds good at first, but after a while, you won’t listen to it again. It’s like a saliva song, which can only be popular for a while and then disappear after a few years.
There will be a new saliva song to replace this song.
And "Monsters 2" is like a saliva song. Although it is very exciting and not bad in all aspects, there are too many movies of this type in Europe and the United States. They will always introduce new ones, and people will gradually forget this movie.
In a few years, new similar movies will still appear, and people will still like to watch them, but they will no longer be willing to watch "Monsters 2". Just watch it once.
"Infernal Affairs" is one of those classic songs that will never fade no matter how much time passes.
The strong box office of "Infernal Affairs" really surprised everyone, and it also ignited everyone's expectations for Chinese movies.
Maybe, Chinese movies can really beat foreign blockbusters in the future!?
Although it is very difficult, judging from the performance of "Infernal Affairs", it may not be impossible.
The two movies each held the single-day box office champion for a week, so it is reasonable to say that they are evenly matched, but in fact "Monsters 2" is stronger. After all, the box office champion in the first week has more gold content.
Or, the total box office of "Infernal Affairs" exceeds that of "Monsters 2".
It refers to the box office of Chinese movies. After all, "Monsters 2" is a movie released globally, and "Infernal Affairs" is naturally incomparable.
Judging from the results of "Monsters 2", the box office has already reached 2.1 billion in the two weeks since its release. It is not a big problem to exceed 3 billion in box office.
"Infernal Affairs" is 1.7 billion. The box office gap between the two has narrowed by 100 million, and the final result is about 2.5 billion!
This is a prediction based on the fact that the single-day box office performance of "Infernal Affairs" is not bad. It is a good evaluation result.
At the beginning, the media gave the final box office of "Infernal Affairs" at around 1.9 billion!
The longer the movie is released, the harder it is for the box office to grow, and the harder it is for the box office gap between the two parties to narrow!
Not to mention the issue of time, there will be other new movies released during the schedule, which will have an impact on the box office of the two movies.
In order to avoid the schedule of "Monsters 2", everyone postponed the release time. Currently, there are no new movies released in theaters, but these two movies are still the most popular.
But once a new movie is released, it will take a large part of the box office!
Moreover, the total box office of a movie in a period is only so much, and the fluctuation is not big. The more box office a movie gets, the less other movies will get.
Based on this, everyone is not optimistic about the total box office performance of "Infernal Affairs" surpassing "Monsters 2".
However, even if "Infernal Affairs" fails, it will still be a failure for Yongrong.
At least, at the beginning, no one expected "Infernal Affairs" to cause such a big sensation, but Chen Mubai still showed the world his outstanding talent!
In the past, when everyone encountered a movie like "Monster", they would choose to avoid the strong period of the movie. Even ordinary action and drama movies, some people chose to avoid it, because they were afraid of competing with the same period and becoming cannon fodder.
Or they were unwilling to fight and lose the box office. Gradually, this allowed many foreign blockbusters to dominate the Chinese film market and win a lot of box office.
Now, Chen Mubai has sounded the clarion call for counterattack. No matter he wins or loses, at least he has let everyone see his bloody spirit, which also represents the attitude of Chinese movies!
If Chinese films are strong enough, there will be fierce competition among foreign blockbusters in the future. The timing of release should also be considered, instead of getting the highest film schedule in every schedule, the most comfortable time, and the
Explosive box office!
That's when the real rivalry began, and it was also when the Chinese film industry began to rise!
It's too early to talk about this at this time, but Chen Mubai's move planted a seed, a seed of hope!
...
"President Gao, tonight is our movie premiere." The vice president smiled and said, "Do you want to attend?"
As one of the investors of the movie, Starway's senior executives will usually attend the premiere of the movie. After all, this is a blockbuster movie, not a low-budget movie. This is also a way to support the movie.
"Yes, how is the promotion going?"
"Everything is going very well. We have stepped up our promotional efforts these days." The vice president said with a smile: ""Infernal Affairs" and "Monsters 2" have been released for two weeks, and the topics and popularity have become much smaller. We are increasing our efforts at this time.
The big publicity quickly took away the popularity.”
"Moreover, the fight between these two movies was quite serious during the release period, and the rest of the movies had no chance of survival. Our movie is the biggest movie in recent times. Next, if they choose to watch, our movie will be their first choice."
"Monsters 2" and "Infernal Affairs" are hugely popular. Before and after the release date of these two movies, there are basically no other movies competing with them. Some of them are movies that have not been released in previous schedules, or they are low-budget.
It doesn't matter which time it's produced or released.
The box office of the movie is basically captured by these two movies, and the audience is considered to be tired of aesthetics. When Starway's movie is released, it will inevitably attract the attention of some viewers, and the box office will not be too low.
This time point was the day they chose to avoid "Monsters 2". Originally, if "Infernal Affairs" was released at the same time as them, it would definitely be a formidable opponent.
But unexpectedly, Chen Mubai directly faced "Monster 2" this time, which made them lose an opponent. Everyone at Starway was quite happy.
There was even a little bit of joy in my heart. I really wanted to thank Chen Mubai for not attacking them forcefully this time, so that they could have such a good opportunity.
"Today is the premiere. We must arouse the greatest enthusiasm and increase publicity." Mr. Gao said solemnly. He did not dare to relax at all, for fear that Chen Mubai might interfere with it.
The box office of the premiere is very important for a movie.
There are movies like "The Master of Hypnotism" that did not do well at the premiere but later relied on word-of-mouth to counterattack.
But rarely, in most movies, potential can be seen at the premiere.
As long as the premiere numbers are good, many viewers will subconsciously choose this movie when choosing a movie. After all, high box office means more people watch it, so more people will like to watch it, and the movie will be exciting.
This is a complete set of logic, which is why the premiere of every movie is very grand. The box office of the premiere is so important!
"Okay, I'll do it right away." The vice president nodded.
The investment in this movie is huge. Starway is the largest investor. They invested hundreds of millions of dollars. The production capital of the entire movie reached 150 million!
The actors who appear are all first-line actors, and the director is also a well-known director.
Originally, this movie was a summer blockbuster and had attracted much attention. In order to maximize profits, I deliberately avoided "Monsters 2" to prevent it from being affected.
Now, this movie is about to be released, and its popularity is still quite high. Many netizens are waiting for the movie to be released.
This time, Starway is united and hopes to have a beautiful turnaround!
In the television field, they suffered many setbacks. The Spring Festival release of "Angel Kiss" made them a small profit and gave them confidence, so they invested again in the film field.
This time the investment is huge, and it is also a big gamble. I just want to take advantage of the victory and pursue it again.
In the early morning, the cinema was bustling with people.
"Heroes of Fire" invested by Starway Entertainment is officially released!
The premiere was star-studded. All the leading actors and senior investors attended the premiere. Everyone laughed happily and witnessed the birth of another blockbuster.
There were many media reporters on site, even more than those from "Infernal Affairs"!
On the one hand, Starway has specially invited a lot of media to build momentum and create a situation where the movie attracts attention and is popular. There will definitely be media coverage of the premiere and photos tomorrow.
On the other hand, the premiere staff of "Infernal Affairs" were separated. Liang Wei and others were in charge of the premiere in Xiangjiang, while Chen Mubai and others were in charge of the mainland side, and he didn't want to do anything in this regard.
The effect of the article is naturally not as good as that of Xingcheng.
The movie that fans have been waiting for for a long time has finally been released, and everyone's faces are filled with excitement.
Soon, the movie started.
After the movie ended, many people walking out of the theater inevitably had a look of disappointment on their faces.
Some people even yelled.
Originally, at the beginning of the promotion, the movie "Heroes of Fire" had a big marketing gimmick, depicting a picture of huge production funds, big scenes of explosions...
The trailer is also very exciting and thrilling to watch, so it has attracted the attention of many netizens.
As a result, after reading it, they found that it really didn't work.
The scenes of explosions and gun battles are good, but the plot is flawed and the logic is illogical. It's like fighting just for the sake of fighting. The scenes are put together, and there is love talk at the moment of life and death, which makes people speechless.
Originally, a life-and-death situation was a tense moment, but in the end, the male and female protagonists fell in love directly. How could there be any tension at all?
Except for some idiot fans, most people are complaining about this movie.
After watching the movie, everyone began to rate the movie and write reviews, hoping that viewers who had not seen it would not be deceived.
In terms of bean sprouts score, the score of Kaihua is 6.1, which is still an artificially high score...
“Really rubbish movie!”
"I feel like this movie is just for the sake of showing off skills, and there are some explosion scenes that are pretending to be sophisticated. What's the use? If I watch your explosion, foreign blockbusters are better. It's better to watch "Monster" to watch the special effects. Look at you.
What is this movie about?”
"I ran away after watching it halfway through. It was such a retarded movie, with all kinds of logical deficiencies, and it was not rigorous at all."
"I hope these police and gangster action movies can learn more from "Infernal Affairs" and stop thinking about large-scale gun battles and racing scenes, and focus more on the plot. "Infernal Affairs" has none of that, so isn't it still exciting?"
"I was deceived by the trailer. I thought it was a very intense action movie, but in the end I was told that it was a love movie. The whole movie was just a shootout for the love between the male and female protagonists. It was really not worth it!!!"
