Chapter 987 The Perfect Stepping Stone (34
49 million on the first day... In fact, it is not particularly high. Several movies this year, especially those that exceeded 1 billion, all had more than 70 million on the first day...
In the original time and space, it was even worse - in the same period, there were "囧", "Rescue Mr. My Life", "Nine-Storey Demon Tower"...
The box office on the first day seemed to be less than 25 million.
Counterattack all depends on word of mouth...
If you have a good memory, you should remember that the original "Charlotte" was released three days ago. When you clicked on the first page of the short review area, there was only one negative review.
Is this normal? Is this good?
No, in addition to its good reputation, it also means that even the regular spats between blockbusters of the same period have bypassed it - no one regards it as an opponent, no one regards it as a threat.
In those years, the weight of things other than movie quality far outweighed the quality of the movie itself.
Of course, it is unlikely that it will sink directly - "Charlotte" is backed by Wanda, including Wuzhou Distribution, and Wanda Cinema's film schedule has never been lower than 20% from the beginning...
This time, it’s almost the same!
Golden Harvest Cinemas, including Dadi, Hengdian, and Jinyi Cinemas, are fully supportive. Almost 70% of the prime screenings are "Charlotte", and the other 30% have to give 20% to Andy Lau's "The Storm" and "The Big Four 2" …
Guangguang may think that there are no period films in the Lunar New Year this year, which is a good opportunity.
Indeed, but you can't stand Chen Jia Shang...that's too bad...
"Famous Catchers 2" is clearly designed to make money...
After "Painted Skin", Chen Jiashang expanded and degenerated. The trilogy "Painted Wall" and "Four Famous Catchers" made him step by step into the ranks of "bad film directors".
However, compared to Liu Weiqiang, who was trapped in the "quagmire of bad movies", Chen Jiashang's situation was better. The 2017 "Dang Kou Fengyun" managed to save some face for Chen Jiashang.
Liu Weiqiang is really a bad movie maker - after going north, there has been no good work. Even "Captain of China", watching the prototype documentary is more shocking, "Chinese Doctor"... It is really such a good subject, such a good story , the filming was so bad that it turned into reportage!
Talking back to "Charlotte", its reputation is overwhelming, with a Douban score of 8.4...
"I have seen the best Chinese comedies in recent years. The lines are clear, the characters all play their roles, and the baggage is dense. The whole thing is very good. It cuts apart a reality and then uses a dream to heal itself, allowing the audience to be very pure at once During the time travel, I laughed, appreciated life, and lamented the preciousness of love. This domestic comedy is not high-end, but it is decent."
"The concentration of jokes is breathtaking, and the witticisms make people excited. "Charlotte" is simply a miracle among domestic comedy films. The laughs are natural and not artificial, and the music is still endlessly memorable. Locking in the best domestic comedy of the year."
"No wonder Shen Xudong is so stable that he even asked Maoyan to put the words 'witness the birth of the domestic comedy box office record' in advance. "Charlotte" will definitely exceed 1 billion!"
…
"In the first four days, 335 million...how much do you estimate the total box office will be?"
"...1.5 billion can't stop it!"
At the company, Shen Xudong rarely came to work - well, mainly because he had an appointment with Ning Hao and Ge You. Before they came, Chen Xi came over and took the initiative to chat with Shen Xudong about "Charlotte Troubles"...
"Then I see that you... don't seem very happy?"
Shen Xudong sighed: "I'm so happy. I didn't see what a group of people said: 'The entry threshold for online dramas is low, the censorship is too loose, and the subject matter is not restricted. If things go on like this, it will lead to the deviation of public values and cause adverse effects. It’s “bad money drives out good money.” Damn it…”
Hearing this, Chen Xi also made a grimace: "...There's nothing we can do about it. Who made "Three Kingdoms" so influential..."
“…I don’t know how long the banner of Chinese dramas going overseas can be waved… We still need to expand overseas markets as soon as possible, so that a drama with an investment of over 100 million can make back its investment in overseas markets alone…”
Although I know that the major platforms are behind these people, but... the lack of uniformity in censorship is indeed a problem!
But... web dramas are different from star dramas!
Being a star means a wider audience, so the censorship is stricter. Online dramas mainly target netizens. The average age of our netizens is 10-39 years old, accounting for 79.2%...
Why demand consistency?
Uh...easy to manage...
Bringing it back, Shen Xudong scratched his head: "This matter depends on Mr. Gao... By the way, "Charlotte" made 335 million in its first week. What about Andy Lau's movie?"
"It seems to be over 100 million... Let me see."
While talking, he took out his mobile phone and clicked on the Maoyan APP: "Well, the cumulative box office in the four days of release is 102 million. Today's film schedule... oh, there is actually 16%, giving more than 18,000 shows..."
"Basically there are morning shows and night shows, so there won't be many big waves!"
"...I feel like Hong Kong movies are having a hard time with 200 million now..."
"Not necessarily. Let's look at the schedule and quality. After all, there are still many fans of Hong Kong films..."
Until 2023, the halo of Hong Kong films has completely fallen!
——"Don't Call Me the God of Gamblers", mainland box office 40 million;
"Drug 3", "Assassination Storm" including "Operation Moscow"...
The box office is actually not that good...
They can't beat the movies of the same period at all - the salient characteristics of this generation of domestic directors are: everything depends on the market, everything depends on money, regardless of the European and American markets, regardless of any bullshit awards, they will make whatever movies the Chinese people like to watch. , they know very well that as long as they serve the Chinese people well, they will have a lot of money~
Looking back at Hong Kong movies...
The final outcome of Hong Kong movies is basically the same as that of Taiwanese movies. Individual talents are siphoned off to the mainland for development, leaving only low-cost literary films and a few genre films to fill the gaps in mainland pop culture due to restrictions.
In another three to five years, there will no longer be Hong Kong commercial films in the mainland market, and there will be almost no co-productions. It will completely become a new era of Chinese-language films...
In this regard, Chow Yun-fat also said, "The greatest competitiveness of Korean films lies in their creative freedom and rich materials!" ’…
Are Hong Kong movies not free enough?
It is indeed the gilded return of Hollywood - although Korean movies have lost everything, they have gained freedom!
Creative limitations?
Isn’t it allowed in Hong Kong?
In the Hong Kong domestic market, who did Hong Kong films win?
If you don’t have the ability, just say you don’t have the ability!
What's the matter with limited creativity?
Tsk tsk, 5.6 billion fruit donation?
A tough guy who lived without money said that he would donate all his property after his death. It is as humorous as a boss who refuses to give you a raise and says that he can give his company to you after his death!
"By the way, "Private Customization" premieres on the evening of the 18th, and they sent us an invitation letter. Do you want to go?"
"Go, perfect stepping stone, why not?"
"Tsk tsk..." Chen Xi suddenly laughed: "Last year's "1942" made "Thailand" and "One Shot" famous, and this year's "Private Customization" helped "Charlotte" become famous. ...Have you discussed it with Director Feng?"
