Chapter 976: The Market in the Cracks

30 million, first day.

45 million, second day.

100 million, third day, Saturday in the United States.

120 million, fourth day, Sunday in the United States.

42 million, fifth day.

The box office of more than 300 million really shocked the entire Hollywood and North American market. Looking at the entire world film market, the box office of this movie in various countries in Europe and the United States is not low. South America and Australia are also good news. The data in Africa is a little worse, but if compared with other films released in their countries, the box office of "Shawshank Redemption" is definitely not low.

In Asia, it is a real box office gathering place. Excluding China, the data of other countries combined can beat the box office in North America in seconds, which shows Chen Hao's appeal in Asia and the stamina of this movie.

South Korea has over 10 million moviegoers, and the island nation has unprecedented enthusiasm for watching movies. In Southeast Asia, even those countries that boycotted Chinese movies have completely opened their doors this time, because "The Shawshank Redemption" is really applicable to all cultures. There is no cultural difference between the East and the West. Any culture is eager for freedom and affirms self-salvation. Andy and Red do not represent two types of people, but two forms of existence. In today's society, too many people follow Red's shadow to live, and few strong guys can break free from the shackles and live their own new world. Andy's initial struggle in prison and his mid-term adaptation seemed to be somewhat contradictory and drifting with the tide, until the day he lifted the poster on the wall, everything changed. At that moment, all the moviegoers were boiling. They may have the intention to resist the pressure of reality, and some can only think about it in their minds. Now there is a movie that can present them with specific pictures.

When people are thirsty, warm boiled water is the best way to quench their thirst, and "The Shawshank Redemption" is the warm boiled water of this era. It may not look as attractive as wine, beverages, or coffee, but when you are really sweating and thirsty, drinking this cup of warm boiled water will definitely quench your thirst more than iced beverages.

What era is this? An era where most people feel thirsty.

The Huaxia box office fully demonstrates this thirst. When everyone thinks that the horror box office is supported by the fans of Haomen, this movie Chen Hao subverts all of everyone's cognition. I want more people to go to the cinema and let those film critics sincerely issue a film review, not deliberately saying bad things about me for sensationalism, nor is it a false praise for fear of being besieged by Haomen fans.

It was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The box office on the first day should be considered half a day, 180 million.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office was 300 million.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the box office was 330 million.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the box office was 310 million.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the box office was 280 million.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the box office was 350 million.

After the box office data of China came out, people all over the world who were paying attention to this movie and the box office of China felt very bad. This is not a super-burning blockbuster, nor is it a big-effect, big-action movie like the Wolf Warrior series that makes people excited. But for such a movie, the box office momentum is soaring into the sky. In addition to the fastest breaking of the previous single-day box office records, the total box office actually gives people a feeling that it will surpass "Wolf Warrior 2". At this rate, you really can't judge how high it can reach.

The most important thing is that the artistic achievements and reputation of this film are by no means accumulated by everyone's simple love. It is the kind of recognition that allows audiences of different tastes to use real strength. You can't imagine what many things will look like in the future, but you will definitely know that today, moviegoers across the country are talking about "The Shawshank Redemption".

………………………………

At this year's Oscars, Chen Hao is a pure guest. Inviting him as the award presenter is a normal process. It was his work that had a good box office last year and was almost nominated for the best actor. We invited you to come and give you a certain picture to ensure your popularity.

As for Chen Hao, this invitation has a different flavor. It's like putting him on the Oscar stage and making him the object of everyone's ridicule. Didn't you look very stylish at the Oscars last year? How about it? A year has passed. What are your achievements? Is it like this now? You went to the field of TV dramas and made a popcorn action and gun battle commercial blockbuster. Is that all?

If it was just this, what qualifications do you have to refuse the sky-high salary offered to you by the third season of "Prison Break"? Why did you refuse to participate despite the requests of so many fans who love this show? We are all waiting for your Michael Scofield. You told us that you would not act anymore. Didn't you say that you, MOUSE, are the best artist for fans? Where did you go at this time?

For the fans who like this show, we at FOX will start the third season, re-select actors, and continue the whole story. Your departure will cause us great damage, but we will not bow to you. You can not come to shoot. We would rather face failure and shoot the story. Without you, MOUSE, we will not disappoint the fans who like this show.

Since the Oscars invited Chen Hao, the above remarks have been spread in the field of Europe and the United States. Everyone knows that this is FOX's dissatisfaction. Chen Hao's refusal to star in the third season of "Prison Break" subjectively gives people the feeling that it is the actor's problem. He did not come out to explain specifically, so FOX will certainly not be polite. Those who have small actions behind the scenes will not miss such an opportunity to step on Chen Hao.

There is more than one road, and the road is not only narrow enough for one person, but your existence has actually occupied a place, and you are running too fast. We have one less position to compete for the top position. There is a chance to eliminate you from the road. Not only is there one more road, but we can also have one less opponent on the road to the final competition.

Many people think that Chen Hao will not accept the invitation, but he responded to the Oscars very early and said that he would attend.

When "The Shawshank Redemption" was released, and Chen Hao was seen on the day of the Oscars, those who were waiting to see the joke put away their gloating faces, and when facing him, the first thing they thought of was to give him a smile.

A non-special effects blockbuster, still in theaters, the current box office statistics are enough to make it rank in the top ten of the world's film history, and it is the only non-commercial film. You can't imagine that it will achieve such a box office, and those film critics who sing praises for it are completely confused. At the beginning, when these people stood up to establish a monument for this film, they talked about the artistry of this film and said that this film will be favored by all awards in the world.

It's been less than a week, and the box office is unexpectedly crazy. Various analysis experts have come out to analyze. In addition to the appeal of the cast, they have given high praise to the easy-to-understand story of this film. It can make ordinary people accept this story and then accept what the story wants to convey. Compared with the cruelty of many high-artistic achievement movies, this film feels the same as it, warm boiled water.

The times created this film.

This is the answer given by some professionals, producers, directors and some big film critics. The artistic achievements of this film need to ferment and are undoubtedly not divided by era, but the box office of this film is achieved by this era. After everyone is used to the fact that commercial blockbusters get super high box office, suddenly there is a movie that is not a commercial blockbuster but also makes them very interested. Naturally, they support it; secondly, what the content of the film shows is completely in line with the living conditions of most people in this era. This is too important. It does not deliberately sensationalize and guide everyone on how to be motivated, but uses a character like Andy to tell everyone what is truly powerful. It is not necessarily a good thing for you to constantly learn from Red to fight for it. The outside world may not be so beautiful. Do what you can do in your current position. Even if you don’t go abroad or become the boss of a big company, you can still live a wonderful life.

In such an era, this film gives more answers, no longer just freedom, no longer just salvation.

The last point is the answer given by all the bosses of film companies. The promotion of "The Shawshank Redemption" was done too well. Chen Hao caught everyone's appetite from the very beginning. Once the film exceeded everyone's expectations, the power that erupted was beyond imagination.

Think about the current market. A high school student who doesn't like watching such movies but likes watching superhero movies. One day when he went to school, he found that people around him were talking about a movie called "The Shawshank Redemption". Even if he didn't like Chen Hao very much, even if he didn't like the bland plot of the movie, he had to go to the cinema to watch it. After coming out, he felt that there was nothing and was about to say that it was meaningless, and then he heard people around him talking about the thought-provoking things in this movie. You will definitely not speak at this time. You will turn your head to think about the plot, and think about what the plot is that can bring you different things. Then, you will be slowly attracted by the delicacy of the plot, and finally you can chat with people around you. I think it's pretty good here. After getting everyone's recognition, you will think that I like the way people around me look at me. I want to see more things in this movie and get their admiring eyes again.

The New York Times, a newspaper like it, actually reported on a movie. Although it was not on the front page, it gave it a very important page and enough space. It used a title that was later considered the most appropriate by everyone, and gave "The Shawshank Redemption" a place in the Western world.

"A powerful movie that found a market in the gap between the times!"
