Chapter 723: No. 1 in the First Day Box Office
On New Year's Day, the Internet was abuzz.
Weibo is full of discussions about "Garland Under the Mountain", as is the case on major film forums.
For a time, the entire Internet seemed to be obsessed with "Garland Under the Mountain". This was also an extremely rare time when a movie became more popular than the Spring Festival Gala.
I guess the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala is dancing at home. It's so miserable.
Some netizens are discussing the plot of the drama "Garland Under the Mountain", while others are discussing how much the movie's box office will be on the first day.
As the General Administration of Culture pays more and more attention to and supports the Chinese entertainment film industry, citizens are paying more and more attention to movies. They no longer just discuss the plot of the movie, but also discuss the achievements of the movie.
In a large group working at Bright Entertainment Company.
Colleagues are also discussing how much the box office of "Garland Under the Mountain" will be on the first day.
"I wonder if it can exceed 500 million!"
"It should be more than 500 million. I believe our Mr. Tan's new movie, I took my whole family to see it today. It's so exciting."
"Yeah, at the beginning I was a little worried about whether Shen Chenglin's "Moonfall" would be too much of a threat to our "Wreaths Under the Mountain", but now after watching the movie, I am completely relieved, absolutely No threat."
"I have watched both movies. "Moonfall" is good, but compared with our "Wreaths Under the Mountain", it is still far behind."
"Let's see, where will "Garland Under the Mountain" reach on the film history rankings? I feel like there is no problem in the top three."
"Hahaha, Sister Sun, "Wolf Warrior 2" is currently ranked third in the box office rankings in film history. You said that "Wreath Under the Mountain" can break into the top three at the box office on its first day. Are you saying that "Wreath Under the Mountain" is better than "Wreath Under the Mountain"? "Wolf Warrior 2" is good?"
""Wolf Warrior 2" is already a rare classic commercial war blockbuster, but to be fair, I really think "Wreaths Under the Mountain" is better than "Wolf Warrior 2"."
"Yes, "Wolf Warrior 2" is also very exciting, mainly because it is very inspiring, but "Wreaths Under the Mountain" is not only very inspiring in terms of spirit, but also extremely fascinating in terms of storyline. I dare to say that "Under the Mountain" "The Garland" will definitely be a milestone in military-themed movies, and it may even be the pinnacle of it!"
"Have a good sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, you will know what the box office will be on the first day."
"You can stay up late tonight and go to bed until two or three in the morning. When you wake up tomorrow, it will be 10 o'clock, haha."
The group was very lively, and this excitement lasted until four o'clock in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year. It wasn't until the last night owl said good night that the group became quiet.
The next day.
Magic City, home in Jiangbei.
As a well-known director in China, Jiang Bei has made a lot of money over the years. With this money, Jiang Bei not only has a big house in Shanghai, but also houses in many big cities in China, and even a luxury house in Europe.
It's not that you can make a lot of money by being a director, but you have to be on Jiangbei's level to make a lot of money.
There are many directors in China, but there are only a handful of them with Jiangbei's ability and status.
After waking up in the morning, Jiangbei did not wake up his wife. The two of them had a small meeting until the early morning last night, and his wife was also tired.
Jiang Bei went to the kitchen to make breakfast. After eating breakfast, Jiang Bei came to the study room and sat in front of the computer, waiting for the update of data from the official website of the General Administration of Culture.
During the Spring Festival, basically all industries across the country are on holiday, but some people still insist on working at their posts, such as doctors, police, and a group of technicians in the General Administration of Culture.
"The production of "Garland Under the Mountain" was much better than I imagined. I can't make such a good movie now."
"What's going on in that guy Tan Yue's head? He's obviously not that old, but the movie he made actually looks like he's lived through that era, as if it were real."
Jiang Bei patted his head, feeling a little melancholy. He always felt that he was smart and wise, but it depended on who he was compared with. If compared with someone like Tan Yue, Jiangbei really couldn't feel any superiority in any aspect, but was instead hit hard.
After all, a movie is a movie, not a real video, such as a period film. No matter how great the director is, he must have some of his own ideas in the film, which makes it impossible to present the real era.
But according to Jiangbei's understanding, this "Garland Under the Mountain" is a movie written and directed by Tan Yue himself. How did he know so clearly about what happened half a century ago?
Jiangbei couldn't understand it.
But despite my doubts, these are not important. What is important is that Tan Yue really made this kind of movie, and he also made "Garland Under the Mountain" so well.
What Jiang Bei wants to know most now is the final box office of the movie "Garland Under the Mountain". It will take a month or two to know the final box office, but Jiang Bei can first make a prediction based on the first day's box office of this movie. .
Before, Jiangbei was still thinking about which movie was better, "Garland Under the Mountain" or "Moonfall", but since watching these two movies, this question no longer exists here in Jiangbei.
"Moon Down" is also good, and it was very interesting to shoot. If it were in previous years, "Moon Down" would have a good chance of competing for the box office championship of the Spring Festival movies, but it won't be able to do so this year.
Because the opponent of "Moonfall" is too strong, Jiang Bei knew immediately after watching "The Wreath Under the Mountain" that the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival must be "The Wreath Under the Mountain", and this movie will also impact the forefront of China's film history.
"Moonfall" is good, but "The Wreath Under the Mountain" is even stronger.
Jiang Bei looked at the time. It was 9:48 now. There were still twelve minutes before the data of the official website of the General Administration of Culture was updated at ten o'clock.
After pouring a cup of tea, Jiang Bei was not in a hurry and waited slowly. At the same time, he analyzed in his mind how Tan Yue could make such a good movie at such a young age.
After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out. He could only blame Tan Yue for his extraordinary talent.
Soon, twelve minutes passed and the time came to ten o'clock.
As Jiang Bei refreshed the page of the official website of the General Administration of Culture, the data had changed. Yesterday's data disappeared and the data of the new day appeared.
"The efficiency of the General Administration of Culture is getting higher and higher, and it is getting more and more reliable."
"I thought it would be refreshed two minutes later during the Spring Festival, but it was the same as usual."
"But that's right. Working in that kind of unit, it is estimated that the work will be more stringent during the Spring Festival, and it will be stricter than usual."
Jiang Bei was thinking about these things in his heart, but his hands were not slow at all.
He opened the movie page with familiarity.
On the computer screen, the first-day box office of the Spring Festival movies that were put on the shelves yesterday has been announced.
As Jiang Bei expected, the first one is "The Garland Under the Mountain".
First place: "The Garland Under the Mountain". Box office: 768 million.
Second place: "Moonfall". Box office: 384 million.
Third place: "The Silent Room". Box office: 162 million.
Fourth place.
After seeing the first-day box office of the movie that was put on the shelves yesterday, Jiang Bei couldn't help but take a breath.
It's really amazing.
At first, he thought that "The Garland Under the Mountain" was not as good as "The Moon Is Coming". Now the box office is out, and you can see that the first-day box office of "The Moon Is Coming" is only half of that of "The Garland Under the Mountain".
Moreover, Jiang Bei knew that many viewers went to see "The Moon Is Coming" and "The Garland Under the Mountain" on the first day of the Chinese New Year, and in the future, the praise and popularity of "The Garland Under the Mountain" will continue to ferment, and the box office gap between "The Moon Is Coming" and "The Garland Under the Mountain" will be further widened.
Although Jiang Bei is a TV drama director and Shen Chenglin is a movie director, they are both directors in the entertainment industry, and the two know each other. Shen Chenglin became famous earlier than Jiang Bei and is six or seven years older than Jiang Bei. Many years ago, when Jiang Bei just debuted, Shen Chenglin once gave Jiang Bei advice.
In these years, Shen Chenglin has shot one hit movie after another, and Jiang Bei is also happy for Shen Chenglin, but this time, Jiang Bei really sympathizes with Shen Chenglin.
If it weren't for "The Garland Under the Mountain" suddenly announcing that it would be released during the Spring Festival a month ago, this year's Spring Festival box office champion would obviously be "The Moon is Coming", but now, there is no doubt that the Spring Festival box office champion will be "The Garland Under the Mountain".
Jiang Bei thought slowly, his eyes were always fixed on "The Garland Under the Mountain" and "The Moon is Coming", as for the other movies below, Jiang Bei didn't pay attention.
Although the other movies may not be bad, they are too pale in front of these two movies.
Too many people in and out of the circle are staring at the first-day box office of the Spring Festival movies.
Many people even make a living with this information.
After the data of the official website of the General Administration of Culture was updated, many media launched reports, and the focus of the reports was naturally "The Garland Under the Mountain". Although "The Moon is Coming" is not bad in terms of quality or box office, "The Garland Under the Mountain" is too dazzling.
Just like when we were in school, many people didn't know who the second in the grade was, and everyone only remembered the first in the grade with explosive grades.
The Internet was also blown up because of this.
The appearance of "The Garland Under the Mountain" has added a strong flavor of the New Year to the Internet.
Many people are excitedly discussing the movie, the plot of "The Garland Under the Mountain", and its super high box office.
Many people may not be clear about the concept of first-day box office, but they don't need to understand it, just compare it and you will know.
"Moonfall" is great, right? But the first-day box office is only half of "The Garland Under the Mountain".
"Wow, the first-day box office of "The Garland Under the Mountain" has exceeded 700 million, and it almost reached 800 million. Good man, if it continues at this pace, the final box office will not be 600 to 700 million?"
"Indeed, everyone said that the TV series directed by Tan Yue were good before. Now with the two movies "Wolf Warrior 2" and "The Garland Under the Mountain", everyone has to give a thumbs up to Director Tan Yue for his film-making level."
"Is "The Garland Under the Mountain" so great? I only watched "Moonfall" yesterday, and I watched it for director Shen Chenglin. At that time, the theater of "Moonfall" was also full. I thought that the highest box office would be "Moonfall."
"I strongly recommend friends who haven't watched "The Garland Under the Mountain" to watch this movie. It's so well made. I, a strong man over 1.9 meters tall, actually cried while watching the movie. Oh, I won't say it anymore. It's embarrassing."
"It's not shameful. Most of the audience in our theater cried, especially when Captain Liang Sanxi died. My heart was broken."
"I think the most heartbreaking part is when Liang Sanxi died and his elderly mother and wife who had just given birth came to the army with their babies in their arms. It was really sad."
"I am a Chinese teacher. I was deeply moved after watching "The Wreath Under the Mountain". I have suggested to our principal whether we can arrange for students to watch this movie after the school starts. It is really educational."
Langya City.
Ma Guoliang's home.
Ma Guoliang gradually became famous and made a lot of money. He bought a big house in Beijing, but it was the Chinese New Year. According to the traditional customs of China, he must go home.
Besides, he couldn't go home last year because of filming. It's not right for him to not come back this year.
In Ma Guoliang's bedroom, Ma Guoliang sat on a chair, watching a video in his hand. This was a classic clip in a movie. The old actor in the movie had superb acting skills. Ma Guoliang wanted to learn from it.
People have two sides to their personalities.
For example, Ma Guoliang works very hard and can be said to be a drama fanatic. He can put down everything for acting. This is good for his acting skills and career development, but not so good for his family.
In previous years, when the crew was on holiday during the Spring Festival, others went home for the Spring Festival. Ma Guoliang would rather stay alone in the crew to figure out the role than go home to spend the Spring Festival with his family. It’s not that he doesn’t like his family, but he thinks that being with his family is not as important as filming.
So even if he went home, he got up early and practiced his acting skills in his room instead of going out to talk to his parents and relatives.
Ma Guoliang also felt that this year was particularly busy, so he didn’t even have time to be alone and quiet to hone his acting skills.
Ma Guoliang also knew the reason, because this Spring Festival, the movie he starred in, "The Wreath Under the Mountain", was released.
And the box office of "The Wreath Under the Mountain" was ridiculously high. In addition, the box office of all the Spring Festival movies added together was not as high as that of "The Wreath Under the Mountain".
Many relatives and friends of the Ma family watched the movie and called home one after another, wanting to talk to Ma Guoliang, especially today, as it seemed that the eldest and second aunts would come over.
Ma Guoliang felt a headache just thinking about it, and immediately seized the time to hone his acting skills.
