Chapter 934 Spring Festival
BJ.
"Fengxia, you are too polite. Just come. What else do you want to bring? Shen Lang is here too. Come in quickly." Shen Lang followed Lin Fengxia into the house with his things. It is not uncommon to bring more gifts when you go to someone's house.
"I brought some from home. Share it with everyone. Brother Yang is not here?" Lin Fengxia said casually. The things were not expensive. There was a little vinegar and some millet. They were all local.
"No, he went to his father's place. Didn't Mi Mi come back with the child? She should be back in the evening. Oh, have you seen the photo I sent you?" Women chatting is really boring.
"I saw it. It's really beautiful. It looks like Mi Mi's eyes when she was a child." Lin Fengxia was very supportive.
Shen Lang actually wanted to complain. Can you still see this? Okay, this is just a random complaint. Many people can see it, but he can't.
He also knew that Yang Mi had returned home, but he didn't know that the child was there. There was no need for him to report it to him. Well, it was mainly because Yang Mi posted on WeChat Moments. He posted his own photo. He posted a photo of himself yesterday.
It's normal to think about it. Going back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year is normal. Shen Lang didn't expect that she hasn't left yet.
Female stars, it's basic not to take a holiday during the Chinese New Year, unless they don't happen to be filming during this period, otherwise, it's impossible to rest for a long time.
His girlfriend is like this. Tang Yan just complained to him. Although she has been working for two days, she still can't be in high spirits.
Listening to the two women chatting, Shen Lang couldn't just leave directly. The main reason was that there was nowhere to go. What time was it? He must go home to live at night, otherwise Lin Fengxia would be alone at home. Before Shen Chun came back, he had to stay at home. Although nothing would happen, he couldn't stand the timidity of women.
He was idle and started to check the news, or news related to him. He didn't want to be on the hot search when he went home for the Chinese New Year, but he couldn't stand someone taking him.
There was no way. From the data, he and Liu Tianxian had just topped the box office history for less than two months, and it seemed that the record would be broken by Stephen Chow's newly released "The Mermaid".
That's right, breaking the record. When The Mermaid was first released, although there was a lot of public opinion and the joke of owing Stephen Chow a movie ticket was everywhere, no one dared to guarantee how much the box office would be.
Even the capital did not give the expectation of breaking the film history record. Of course, it was still very optimistic, otherwise there would not be a sky-high guarantee. Of course, this is only for the previous box office.
In early January, when Shen Lang was filming his own Sewing Machine Band, there was information at that time that Stephen Chow's films always have their own topics. His Lunar New Year work The Mermaid has received great attention before it was released.
It was once circulated on the Internet that China Film, Guangguang, Hehe, Lianrui and Longtengyi all participated in the guaranteed release, with an amount of 2 billion.
Of course, this is information on the Internet, and Shen Lang knows more detailed information, not so much.
The information he knows is that there are no more than 3 companies participating in the guaranteed release. In addition, the guaranteed amount is not the 2 billion circulated on the Internet, but the specific amount is less than 1.8 billion.
According to Xiao Tao, it should be in the range of 1.6 billion to 1.8 billion. If you want to know more, you have to go through the contract in person. It is not necessary.
It must be said that Master Xing is Master Xing. Even if it is a movie guarantee, he has to guarantee more than others.
Why Shen Lang knows this is not for gossip, but simply wants to participate. After all, he personally knows that the box office of the movie will break the record as expected.
He also wants to participate in the guarantee, but it is really overthinking. This is not something that can be participated in just by having money. You have to bring your own resources. The guarantee is from several distributors, all of which have their own distribution resources and may have promised how many resources.
He gave up after inquiring, unless he directly gave Master Xing a box office guarantee of 3 billion, then he would have to pay nearly 1 billion in cash, and Master Xing would most likely agree.
But in that case, the guarantor would not make much money, which is equivalent to quickly returning the money to Master Xing. He would not benefit much, so forget it.
Otherwise, if the guaranteed price is similar, even if the guaranteed price is 100 million or 200 million more, people will still choose big distributors, who can provide publicity and promotion resources. Shen Lang can't provide anything, and Stephen Chow is not just a handful, he still has to make movies in the future.
No publicity affects the box office. Stephen Chow can't say that he will quit this industry for the money he made once. Shen Lang's movie is an outlier if it doesn't have publicity. The main reason is that he has a system, which is different.
"The Mermaid" has lived up to expectations in the past few days. After its release, the box office has been far ahead.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "The Mermaid" was officially released. Since the end of the midnight screening, it has received continuous praise online.
Deng Chao's performance in the film has aroused heated discussions among the audience. His appearance and acting skills have both been praised. He, who is working with Stephen Chow for the first time, also praised Stephen Chow as the coordinate of comedy, and revealed that "stealing" is the first in this cooperation.
The box office on the first day of the movie has reached an astonishing 280 million, setting a new "single-day box office record for domestic films".
The film took 42% of the box office with 33% of the screenings. Of course, judging from the first day alone, it is not the only one that dominates.
"The Man from Macau 3" took 27% of the box office with 26% of the screenings, and the box office was 170 million.
Following closely behind is "Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon", which took 25% of the box office with 25% of the screenings, and the box office was 165 million.
The Spring Festival period is really on the rise now, and the box office on the first day exceeded 600 million, which is quite amazing.
Among the remaining movies, only Kung Fu Panda can break 10 million yuan, and even Detective Chinatown only has a few tens of thousands of yuan left at the box office. Of course, the schedule is basically gone, but it has not been offline. Otherwise, Shen Lang can get more points. 1.3 billion is not a small amount, but it is still a little insufficient.
On the surface, it can be regarded as a three-legged tripod. At least The Mermaid has a high box office, but it is not so big that no one can see it.
But on the second day of the Chinese New Year, the gap has already begun to appear. The box office of The Mermaid is 240 million yuan, the schedule has increased by two points, and the box office share has increased by four points. Although the box office seems to be low, the total box office on that day has decreased, which is normal. On the contrary, the box office share is high.
Then the box office of The Man from Macau 3 and Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon is more than 130 million and 118 million, both of which have decreased by about 30 to 40 million.
It seems that the box office has dropped by about the same amount, but the box office share has begun to be reversed. The box office share has dropped by two points, which just fills the gap on The Mermaid.
Kung Fu Panda still has 20 million box office, which is quite strong, but it is normal. Children also need to welcome movies during the Spring Festival.
On the third day of the Chinese New Year, that is, yesterday, The Mermaid completely confirmed its advantage, accounting for 50% of the box office, and the box office was 250 million, which was higher than yesterday. The cumulative box office in three days exceeded 780 million, and the publicity was over 800 million.
This is much faster than My Girlhood. Why compare with My Girlhood? It is normal, because there is only one first place, and everyone wants to be on the top, and this is the most conspicuous.
As for the other two movies that were originally in a three-legged tripod, the box office has always been not much different, with a difference of about 10 million.
This time, the two movies added together did not exceed The Mermaid. The Man from Macau 3 was 110 million, and Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon was just over 100 million.
There is no doubt about the reputation. This is Stephen Chow. There is basically no one in the entire entertainment industry who can compare with him in terms of popularity.
