Chapter 806 Chapter 106 Phenomenon Level

A new movie is released in two days, how much box office can it get?

Martial arts movies, one of the favorite subjects of Chinese people.

It is a martial arts film by Master Qin Wei, who is known as the number one director in China, and an international director.

It is said to be a martial arts masterpiece with an investment of 100 million yuan.

The actor played by Guo Yulong.

Two popular actresses, He Yingyu and Fu Hongxue, Xiaohuadan co-starred in the film, and there were constant scenes in and out of the play.

The industry praised it. Almost every film critic and ordinary audience who had watched the movie applauded it unanimously. When interviewed by reporters, many stars who had watched the premiere were also full of praise.

By the way, Guo Yulong's action guidance team, it is said that the martial arts scenes are extremely beautiful!

Two days... how much box office can there be?

Some people guess that 50 million is probably not a big problem. Saturdays and Sundays are the first two days of release. There are all kinds of gimmicks, and the box office is definitely not bad. Even if it can't exceed 50 million, 40 million is at least , could not be less! After all, the domestic film market is so hot right now, right?

Some people think that the forecast of 50 million can only be said to be a normal situation, but now you look at the selling points one after another, regardless of the investment of more than 100 million, Qin Wei's director, wonderful martial arts moves, Guo Yulong's male The protagonist, He Yingyu VS Fu Hongxue's heroine, wait, whichever one, can't bring the movie a box office of tens of millions? Therefore, 50 million may not be able to stop it, and 70 million can be regarded as a hurdle!

Then, when the time came to May 1st, Monday, last week’s box office came out, and the whole of China was so frightened that their glasses shattered—“The Gate of Life and Death” was released for two days, and the box office exceeded 100 million in the first week!

In just two days, the box office was 114.62 million!

This is an astonishing box office that almost no one could have expected before!

Including Li Qian, when he saw this box office figure, he was shocked for a long time and didn't come back to his senses!

Two days, 110 million, what is the concept?

In the undisputed largest single box office in the world, in North America, that is, the United States and Canada together, there are only a few movies with a box office of over 100 million in the first week. The box office on the first Saturday and Sunday of the release can break through 50 million US dollars, and there are at most one or two films per year.

114.62 million Chinese yuan, approximately equal to 57 million U.S. dollars!

In other words, the performance of "The Gate of Life and Death" in the Chinese film market is rare even when compared horizontally to the box office in North America!

Looking back at China, until last year, for domestic films, breaking the box office of 100 million was still only something that a small number of directors dared to hope for. Those who could break 100 million were already qualified to be called great directors. A movie can already be highly valued by the theaters.

The existence of the so-called "100 million yuan club" has already proved how much it is worth boasting to exceed 100 million yuan—however, it took less than two days for "The Gate of Life and Death" to break the 100 million yuan mark!

On the day when the box office came out, there were countless practitioners in the film industry all over the country who were stunned. At least Qi Jie looked shocked and asked Li Qian over and over again: "Is that movie really that good? It's so good to see." To this extent?"

Li Qian could only answer her, "This is the market's choice."

In fact, in another time and space, it is hard for people later to imagine that at the beginning of the 21st century, "Hero", the first real commercial blockbuster in mainland China, actually won a quarter of the country's total box office that year. A movie, won a quarter of the total annual box office in China!

It's unimaginable!

But in fact, in such an era, Zhang Guoshi's name, huge investment, all-out support and optimism from theaters all over the country, coupled with the starring of certain Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, made commercial blockbusters extremely popular at that time. Hungry Chinese people basically have no resistance to Zhang Guoshi's first commercial masterpiece!

And in this time and space, Master Qin's status in the world, his image in the minds of the people all over the country who understand movies and don't understand movies, who often watch movies and basically don't watch movies, old and young, are basically indisputable. The number one person in the movie, it should be said, is not inferior to Zhang Guoshi in another time and space!

Guo Yulong is a top male star who can handle the box office by himself. Previously, his highest box office record as a leading actor was 170 million. There are four movies with a single box office box office of over 100 million. He Yingyu and Fu Hongxue were both last year. The extremely popular little Huadan, He Yingyu is carrying the halo of "My Sassy Girlfriend" selling 150 million, and Fu Hongxue has even entered the 200 million club, and has the blessing of the actress!

In addition, even Ming Xiaojing, the female number four, is an international actress!

This kind of cast combination is comparable to Jet Li, Chen Daoming, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Donnie Yen, etc. in another time and space!

Zhang Guoshi's big scene is of course amazing, and the color matching is also full of praise, but Master Qin's artistic skills are not inferior to Zhang Guoshi's. "Hero" is even better!

Therefore, in this space-time year of 2002, with only two releases, "The Gate of Life and Death" exceeded 100 million!

Directly parachuting to the top of the box office rankings for the week!

In the second week of its release, "Once Upon a Time", whose popularity has not declined at all, surprisingly broke through 100 million again, and ranked second on the list with a box office of 106.13 million slightly lower than the first week's 108.46 million. —The thing that Li Qian was most worried about before happened just like this.

Although the two-week box office is added up, "Huang Feihong" has already received as much as 214.59 million. Even in the first two weeks, it can already be classified as a phenomenon-level movie. In fact, even now, both the media and ordinary audiences The word-of-mouth survey did not hesitate to praise the film.

But, obviously, "The Gate of Life and Death" obviously stole all the limelight!

And next, with such a super record of breaking 100 million in two days, the word-of-mouth fermentation and publicity campaign of "The Gate of Life and Death", as well as the box office confidence of the theaters and audiences in this movie, will surely reach a frenzy In fact, on Monday afternoon, the distribution department of Minghu Culture had already received the filming adjustment notices from the major theaters one after another!

The thing is so nonsense, a good movie that can be regarded as a big hit at any time, and it has just entered the third week of release, but the theaters are starting to not get enough screening rates!

And to be honest, the theater chain can give a notice, and some theater chains even specifically emphasized the previous sentence in the notice: In the next adjustments planned, "Huang Feihong" will be given a certain screening time and film scheduling rate. Compensation - that's kind enough!

If it weren't for seeing that "Huang Feihong" was also making a lot of money, the theaters wouldn't be so friendly and tactful! ——Even though they cut down the filming rate, they still won't be soft in the slightest!

But in the current situation, you have nothing to do. The adjustment of the theater chain is purely for commercial interests. Who can stop a businessman from making money?

Therefore, whether it is Li Qian or Qi Jie, they can only sigh, and then, like the people all over the country, they waited with anticipation for the release of the box office of "The Gate of Life and Death" in the second week, which is also the first full week!

Fortunately, although "The Gate of Life and Death" has suppressed "Huang Feihong" to a considerable extent, at least in terms of word of mouth, "Huang Feihong" with the title of "the first kung fu movie" But there is no sign of weakening at all, and Zhou Baoshan and Lu Lingxi's national publicity has set off a wave of enthusiasm wherever they go!

…………

Time to enter May.

Xie Mingyuan began to take people to the four venues that would be rented to hold concerts to supervise, and with Liao Liao's return, the four beauties finally gathered together again, and Li Qian and Cao Zhan also started to go to various places Going to see the stage design, at the same time, of course, the publicity related to the first national tour concert of the Four Great Beauties has been in full swing. Almost all the tickets for the four shows were sold out on the day they went on sale!

Then, on Monday, May 8, the box office charts came out on time.

It is amazing and seems to be vaguely expected, "The Gate of Life and Death" won a single-week box office of 232.85 million in one fell swoop, not only surpassing the "Huang Feihong" that came to the third week under suppression. The box office of 72.57 million won was firmly under him, turning a double dragon show into a one-man show, and even set a super high box office record in one fell swoop!

The entire Chinese film circle, literary circle, entertainment circle and media circle are all sensational!

As early as last week's box office results, the domestic sensation has already begun. Up to now, the topic and popularity of "The Gate of Life and Death" and Qin Wei himself have reached the peak!

Even... the pinnacle of praise that a domestic filmmaker can achieve so far!

The halo of "The Gate of Life and Death" was added, and for a while, this movie seemed to be completely perfect!

"Huang Feihong" was used for comparison. Although it is not to say that it was trampled for nothing, even if it only mentioned the box office, the media circles also recognized that in such a head-to-head PK, Mr. Qin won with dignity, and Li Qian was afraid that he would lose nothing. There is nothing to say! Of course, many media lamented that "Huang Feihong" was born at an untimely time!

"The Swordsman and the Monk", "Sword Fairy"... Whether it's Liu Chengzhang's or Du Weiyun's, almost all domestic box office hits, martial arts movies, and movies by famous directors are almost all pulled out by the media. lock up!

Obviously, everyone was pulled out to set off the current box office results of "The Gate of Life and Death", how brilliant and brilliant it is! How invincible!

Some media blatantly said: Such a "phenomenal" masterpiece, with such a "phenomenal" box office, in the next three to five years, no one will be able to surpass it, except Master Qin himself!
