Chapter 688 The tenth Chinese movie box office ranking!
The premiere of "Heroes of Fire" was at its peak, and then it fell off a cliff and set a record.
This has also sounded the alarm for many entertainment companies. Although the promotion is grand, it plays a decisive role in the impact of the movie, as well as the improvement of the box office.
But it may also ruin the movie, quality is the only thing.
"Heroes of Fire" succeeds in publicity and fails in publicity.
This movie will set a warning for future movies, at least some wording needs to be paid attention to when promoting it.
If the promotional slogan of "Heroes of Fire" were not as loud as it was before its release, it might not be so tragic.
Sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. "Heroes of Fire" perfectly demonstrates this truth.
Excessive publicity may lead you to success, but it may also lead to failure.
"Heroes of Fire" fell so quickly that even investors such as Starway Entertainment were caught off guard.
Even though many measures were taken, the negative reputation and public opinion could not be restored. In the end, criticizing the movie had become a form of political correctness, and anyone who spoke for the movie would be implicated by netizens.
As the leading actors, Li Mu and Li Na were criticized even more harshly. After all, they are top-tier actors. Taking on such a movie would be a drain on their popularity and reputation, which would shake their reputations.
Many fans were disappointed with them, which made the two people panic. They quickly issued an apology statement to their fans, viewers, and netizens, and bluntly stated that they would be more considerate when accepting movies in the future, based on quality.
Even the lead actor has apologized, so what kind of response can we expect from the movie?
Li Mu and Li Na's apology statements were the last fire that burned down the movie. Their apology means that the movie "Heroes of Fire" is indeed a bad movie. Otherwise, why would the leading actors apologize?
Can a movie that even the lead actor thinks is bad can be saved?
On the contrary, nothing happened to the second male lead and the second female lead, but they were very happy.
I originally debuted as a traffic star, so I wasn't afraid of being scolded at all, I was just afraid of losing popularity.
Unexpectedly, after participating in "Heroes of Fire", I was criticized and became famous. Black and red are also popular!
These two actors are the only happy ones in the entire crew. They even asked their agent to contact Starway Entertainment. If there is a film like this in the future, they can come back to them. They are looking forward to cooperating.
The brokers also get bonuses. As long as they have traffic, are they still afraid of online violence?
Don't be ridiculous, traffic stars are all the beneficiaries of online violence. After all, traffic = money = benefits, they want to be scolded like this every day!
However, they are not stupid and cannot directly express this attitude to Starway Entertainment.
They first expressed their regret to Starway Entertainment for the failure of the movie, and then said that they were honored to participate in the movie and hoped to continue to cooperate in the future.
The implication is that they will not blame Starway Entertainment for the movie's failure...
This directly caused Mr. Gao and others to vomit blood. Isn’t this too fucking deceiving!?
Even though they are in such a miserable state, these two popular stars still do this and want to appear in their company's works again. Does this mean that their company can only produce movies of this quality?
The key point is that others didn't say it clearly. Instead, they were comforting them to release their good intentions, but that's what they meant.
Thinking about the current situation, it is not easy for them to fall out directly. After all, the power of the company behind the traffic star is not bad. Starway can only swallow the bitter pill and say that we will see the situation later.
But everyone is greeting the team of these two traffic stars in their hearts. They are so damn stupid!
...
The competition between "Infernal Affairs" and "Monsters 2" is about to come to an end. Both movies exceeded the 3 billion mark, and "Infernal Affairs" finally surpassed "Monsters 2" in total box office at the last moment!
It took more than a month for the box office of "Infernal Affairs" to surpass 10 million from the initial box office of 500 million!
When this data came out, netizens across the country were excited.
Everyone hopes that their country will become stronger and stronger, especially in terms of soft culture, which has always been unilaterally suppressed by foreign countries. It is difficult to see counter-suppression.
Now, "Infernal Affairs" has done it!
Not only did the film suppress the other party in terms of quality and ratings, but they even suppressed the opponent in the most important box office!
This is a real victory, an exciting victory!
Chen Mubai's success has given everyone more hope, and it is also the hope that the Chinese film and television industry will take a new step!
The ending of "Heroes of Fire" is in stark contrast to the outcome of "Infernal Affairs". Perhaps there will be more movies in the future that value quality rather than traffic!
Although it is impossible to change the status quo all at once, at least this is a general direction. In the future, China's film market will definitely become more and more prosperous, and the quality will get better and better!
"Heroes of Fire" is a negative example. No one wants their movie to become the second "Heroes of Fire"!
"Infernal Affairs" is also Mubai Entertainment's first film to break the 3 billion box office mark, and Mubai Entertainment is also celebrating.
The box office performance of "Infernal Affairs" has reached the tenth place in the Chinese movie box office rankings!
"Monsters 2" is at No. 11.
In the top ten, except for "Infernal Affairs", only two movies are Chinese movies, and the rest are foreign movies. Among them, the first place is the classic foreign science fiction blockbuster and the first 3D movie "Dragon"!
This movie was prepared for many years and shot for several more years. When it was first released, it adopted the most advanced technology and introduced the concept of 3D into theaters, which can be regarded as causing a change in film technology.
When 3D came out, everyone discovered that there were such realistic special effects, as if they were actually there!
The dinosaurs inside are lifelike. This movie tells the story of human beings who mistakenly entered an alien space, where only a group of dinosaurs lived.
The shocking special effects and technological changes that changed the way of watching movies made this movie a global shock when it was released.
This movie is also No. 1 in the global movie box office rankings, with a total of 2.7 billion US dollars!
This movie ranks first in the box office rankings in many countries around the world, which is enough to prove the excellence of this movie!
Generally speaking, it is difficult for works with particularly excellent movie ratings to achieve high box office. After all, the ratings of a movie are related to the core of what the movie tells, and these are the strengths of literary and artistic films.
Literary films generally receive high ratings but low box office.
On the contrary, most people like to watch sci-fi movies like "Monster", so the box office is not low.
The mainstream movies nowadays are European and American science fiction blockbusters, or hot-blooded, intense action movies filled with elements such as airplanes and missiles.
This kind of hot-blooded movie that can shock people visually or soar adrenaline is more likely to have high box office.
After all, coming to the cinema to watch a movie is a way for people to relax. Not everyone likes the bitterness, emotion and depth of literary and artistic movies, which are too tiring.
On the contrary, popcorn-type movies are more popular. After watching them, everyone can relax and relax without having to think too hard.
Even watching a movie requires concentration the whole time, otherwise you won't understand and it will be too tiring.
Movies are essentially entertainment.
Therefore, commercial films are the mainstream, while literary and artistic films can only depict society and human beings. Awards from major film festivals are what they are chasing.
However, with the development of the market, film festivals no longer exclude commercial films as before, and some outstanding commercial films can still win awards.
"Dragon" is this type of movie, a commercial blockbuster but with the core of the story, about whether humans should care for the earth, about environmental damage and reflection.
"Infernal Affairs" is also one of the few movies with high ratings and high box office.
However, it is an anomaly. It basically has no big action scenes and no special effects. It relies purely on the acting skills of the actors and the plot.
At this point in time, part of the success of "Infernal Affairs" can be attributed to the Chinese people's hope for the rise of Chinese movies, and this is also the upper limit of the box office of this movie.
No matter how high it is, it is impossible. After all, the audience for this type of movie is still far behind. This movie does not meet the mainstream of the current market.
This achievement is enough. Chen Mubai is also the only young director on this list, and the miracles he has created are still continuing!
There is a general rule for movies with high box office, that is, the ratings will not be low.
In other words, it is impossible for a bad movie to get too high a box office. Although the movie score on the box office rankings is not particularly high, it is not low either, not less than 8 points. It is still among the best, but it is not the top.
of that batch.
After all, it is too difficult to balance business and literature. Very few people can do it. The best-selling movies are mainly commercial films, and then add some story core into them, or simply a wonderful story, or some
An unexpected surprise.
"Infernal Affairs" is the only movie in China in the past ten years that has received high ratings and high box office, which is very rare.
Mainly relying on the excellent storytelling ability, the detailed control of the movie screen and the amazing acting skills. Many of the scenes are enough to be cut into textbooks. They are textbook-level acting skills, which is amazing!
...
"Awesome, "Infernal Affairs" actually surpassed the box office of "Monsters 2"!"
"Chen Mubai is awesome. He is the first director to hit the box office rankings so quickly. He is also an actor, and he is also the only director-actor!"
"With just 4 movies, Chen Mubai's total box office has already reached more than 8 billion. If this trend continues, wouldn't the next movie have a box office of 10 billion, and the first director with a box office of 10 billion is also an actor?"
"Damn it, if you didn't remind me, I wouldn't have known that Chen Mubai was so stupid without knowing it!"
"It's indeed quite impressive. It only took a few years..."
"That's what I say, but who knows whether the next movie will have such a high box office. After many directors have achieved high box office, their next works will still hit the market. You can't say for sure, the taste of the audience is also changing.
....."
"I am looking forward to Chen Mubai's next work more and more. I hope he can create greater glory~"
Netizens were happy with the results of "Infernal Affairs" and were shocked by Chen Mubai's ability.
