Chapter 233 First Week Results (44) (Happy New Year, Wish You Good Fortune)
The crew did not mention a single word about the same crime of buying and selling...
I dare not mention it!
Director Han was given some advice...
When Director Han was asked about his opinions, did Feng Xiaogang dare to say anything?
It's a bit flattering. When we made the movie, we didn't expect it to have such a big influence, but the censorship department must have thought of it. They thought of it and released it directly, which shows that they are responsible. Otherwise, directly I'll kill you! ’
‘I’m really not flattering. This subject matter is difficult to grasp. Who will shoot it and how to shoot it all need to be considered. Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of situation, it is the easiest way to just not let the photo be shot! ’
Shen Xudong was closed throughout the whole process...
Worried about what he said again, there is no way to deal with it!
Of course, Shen Xudong didn't say anything. He mainly talked about the prototype character Mr. Guo...
"When I wrote "The Lost Orphan", I asked his opinion, and also asked him when I was adapting it. He was very happy. He said, 'The more the media knows and the more reports, the more people will know about it, so that my son can find The chances will be greater.'"
"Of course I was paid... nearly 200,000 yuan twice... Mr. Guo has spent a lot of money looking for his son over the years..."
"Actually, I have asked him all the questions you are worried about. For example, if the adoptive parents who adopt a son are very good to their son, should he also recognize them?"
"He said that at least he needs to know whether he is dead or alive. As long as he knows the news about his son, even just a little bit, that's enough!"
"For people who are very bitter in their hearts, just a hint of sweetness can fill it up, which is enough to comfort them for the rest of their lives!"
It’s so well said, especially the last sentence, ‘A person who is very bitter in his heart can fill it with just a hint of sweetness, which is enough to comfort him for the rest of his life…’
It became the title of many reports...
However, the discussion about the same crime of buying and selling is still a hot topic and is getting more and more heated, and some experts have come out to explain it.
‘Child abduction is a complex social problem. The existence of the buyer’s market is based on multiple factors, such as raising children for old age, traditional concepts such as having more children and being blessed, as well as infertility and other reasons. From a legal perspective, increasing the punishment and putting all bribers in prison is a red flag for "bribing children", that is, human beings cannot be bought and sold.
But this also has a negative aspect, that is, there may indeed be a demand for such a sale, so it becomes more hidden and darker, making the crackdown more difficult. At the same time, it may also create a problem for the safety of abducted children. harm. ’
‘If a heavier penalty is imposed on the buyer, the buyer may take desperate measures once the child is about to be rescued. ’
'Before the social environment and people's concepts are not yet mature, the implementation of the same crime of buying abducted women and children will not only fail to achieve immediate results, but may also push criminals to a dead end and carry out unforeseen and excessive behavior towards abducted women and children, and even endanger the victims. Abduct children's lives and safety. ’
By the way, according to the above suggestion, the crew invited relevant experts and people from the public security department to answer questions in the following road shows...
…
Once any movie becomes a topic of national discussion, not to mention the attention it will receive, the box office performance will definitely be quite impressive!
Especially if the movie itself is of good quality.
Although the cost of "Lost Orphans" is not high, the pictures, shots and composition are very beautiful, not to mention the story...
For Shen Xudong, "The Lost Orphan" is the first movie he has written. In terms of reputation, he is not worried - this subject itself cannot produce anything too bad, unless the values are distorted from the beginning, such as " Marrying the Woman of the Mountain》…
After the national discussion, there was a bit of panic at first, mainly because Feng Xiaogang's panic attitude affected him...
But in the next few days, especially after relevant experts and the public security department sent special personnel to join the propaganda, Feng Xiaogang returned to a calm attitude. Then... the director became calm, and Shen Xudong had nothing to worry about!
He will start to pay attention to box office results...
"Orphan" was released on July 23. The box office on the first day was 4.6 million, the box office on the second day was close to 8 million, and the box office on the third day was 9.2 million...
The box office in the first three days was close to 22 million...
Of course, it is not as good as the nearly 55 million in the first three days of "House of Flying Daggers", but it has set a new box office record for Feng Xiaogang's movies!
However, the crew did not promote it too much. After all, for a movie with this theme, the crew cannot exaggerate the box office information too much!
But it is impossible for the media to let go of such a major event as the first-week box office of "The Orphan". After all, it has to be compared with "House of Flying Daggers"!
"House of Flying Daggers" was released for ten days, with a cumulative box office of 104 million, including 55 million in the first three days and 49 million in the next seven days...
To be precise, the second weekend was lower than "Orphans"...
Anyway, Zhang Weiping didn't mention anything about surpassing "Hero" in the interview, nor did he talk about "The Orphan". He only talked about the overseas copyright sales of "House of Flying Daggers"...
…
In the rest room of the hotel, Shen Xudong held a stack of reports and read them carefully...
After Deng Jie finished chatting with Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang, she walked over and saw Shen Xudong looking through something, so she asked: "...What are you looking at?"
"Aunt Deng..." Shen Xudong hurriedly greeted, and then explained: "I'm reading the theater report...it said that New Film Alliance and Singmei Cinema canceled the screenings of "Troy" and "The Day After Tomorrow" and freed up the screening hall for "The Lost" solitary"…"
"New Film Alliance and Star Cinema have always supported Director Feng!"
"...I read the analysis and said whether the box office of "Orphan" can surpass "Mobile Phone" depends on the box office in the second week?"
"Well, didn't I mention it above, "Spider-Man 2" and "Shrek 2" are also going to be released, as well as Hong Kong's "Ghost 2" and the French film "Cars"..."
"Will the box office of "Orphan" be affected?"
Feng Xiaogang walked in and said with a smile: "It will definitely have an impact, but it won't be big. It's just like piracy. Our DVD will be released next week... For a movie like "Orphans", just look at the box office in two weeks!"
Available next week?
Why so fast?
Mainly to curb piracy...
In fact, the next day after the release of "Lost Orphans", pirated discs appeared one after another in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
However, due to the rough image and unclear sound, the original disc will be released soon, and even the dealers are too lazy to purchase it, so it has little impact on the box office.
I really want to thank Zhang Weiping for this. Back then, a theater in northern Shaanxi discovered that the fifth copy of "Hero" was missing. While the police were investigating the case, a female employee of the theater suddenly jumped to her death.
The impact was huge, and the top management decided to fight against piracy...
In addition, Zhang Weiping made a bold attempt to sell the DVD rights directly after the movie was released...
And audio and video companies are allowed to sell genuine DVDs from one to ten days after the movie is released...
Yes, the sooner the disc is sold, the more it will affect the movie’s box office, but it’s better than making money through piracy!
After he started, many movies did the same thing. Hong Kong was even more radical. The movie was released directly on DVD the day after it was released...
"Orphans" will be released on DVD a little later, five days after its release...
Looking at the reviews, "The Wandering Earth 2" is good, "Man Jiang Hong" is also good, and "Exchange Life" is also good...
I haven’t watched it yet…
