Chapter 215 The second director whose single film box office exceeded 200 million
October 9th.
The single-day box office on October 8 was released, 10 million, and the total box office has reached 170 million.
October 10th, the box office the day before yesterday was 8 million.
On October 11, the box office the day before yesterday was 7 million.
On October 12, the box office the day before yesterday was 5 million.
October 13th, the box office the day before yesterday was 6 million.
October 14th.
The single-day box office on October 13th is released, 5 million.
"Space Traveler" was released nationwide from the early morning of September 30th to October 13th, which is exactly two weeks.
The total box office accumulated exceeds 201 million!
Wang Shu has since become the second domestic director with a single film box office exceeding 200 million!
Before this, only Zhang Yimou had achieved such an achievement.
Today, a new member is born in the 200 million box office club of domestic movies.
On the same day.
Sina, Sohu, Baidu, Tencent, NetEase and other major portals or entertainment media all reported on this, and some entertainment sections made headlines.
Sina: "Wang Shu - the second domestic director with a single film box office exceeding 200 million."
Sohu: "20-year-old young director, the second to join a single since Zhang Yimou 200 million box office movie club! "
Baidu: ""Space Traveler" exceeded 200 million in two weeks, Wang Shu is the second director with a single film box office exceeding 200 million!"
Tencent : "In a new era, a new 200 million director is born!"
NetEase: "200 million directors, please participate!"
This news spread like a raging fire throughout the Chinese entertainment industry, and its shocking power could not calm people down for a long time.
In the mainland, well-known directors such as Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige.
Hong Kong Island, famous directors such as Zhou Xingxing, Wang Jin, Du Qifeng, Er Dongsheng, Tang Jili, Xu Ke and so on.
None of these people have a single film with a box office of 200 million in the Mainland.
Now, a 20-year-old young director with a wild background has become the second member of the 200 million box office club after Zhang Yimou.
And, in just two weeks, the box office of a single film has exceeded 200 million.
This is something that makes many people in the director circle feel they have lost face.
This feeling is even stronger for Feng Xiaogang, Hong Kong directors, and academic directors.
Feng Xiaogang has always claimed to be the most powerful commercial film director in China.
As a result, the first commercial film directed by Wang Shu, a 20-year-old young director with a wild background, broke the single-film box office record of all his films in just two weeks.
The so-called most powerful commercial film director in China has since become a joke.
Hong Kong Island directors have always felt that they are better at shooting commercial films than those in the Mainland. Compared with mainland directors, their achievements in commercial films are like a father beating his son.
Nowadays, it is also a bit ridiculous.
It is undeniable that no one can beat Zhang Yimou's mainland single-film box office.
However, Zhang Yimou is a director who has been famous for a long time.
Moreover, the gorgeous lineup of the film is difficult to replicate.
Hong Kong directors would not compare themselves to Zhang Yimou, but to other mainland directors.
Looking around, except for a handful of directors, the other directors' accomplishments in the field of commercial films are not at the same level as them.
In particular, many academic directors have a high status in the mainland industry, but they are far inferior to them in terms of the actual level of commercial films.
In the mainland, in the field of commercial films, except for a handful of people, they are really nothing but genuine jokes.
But now, the appearance of a wild man like Wang Shu has broken the chain of contempt that they were proud of.
In the past, many academic directors from the Mainland were far inferior to them in the field of commercial films and at the box office, but this made Hong Kong directors and actors feel bad.
If the directors who have become directors in Hong Kong Island are not as good as a new director from the Mainland with a wild background.
Wang Shu made his debut in 2004.
Many directors from Hong Kong Island began to move north as early as 2004.
In other words, he considers himself to be better at commercial films than those from the Mainland, starting at a higher level than Wang Shu, and moving north earlier than Wang Shu to develop.
Right now, it’s not as good as Wang Shu.
I can’t hold on to my face anymore.
Academic directors are equally embarrassed!
Because Wang Shu is not an academic, but a wild man, and he is not in the same group as them.
This is embarrassing.
The film directed by Ye Luzi, who has no systematic study, exceeded 200 million in two weeks, becoming the second domestic director to have a single film with a box office of more than 200 million.
Combined with what Wang Shu said in a previous interview, Hollywood is there and the world's movies are in front of you. Watch more, think more, and learn from each other's strengths.
It undoubtedly shows from the side that academic directors are just hypocritical.
If you have the ability, why else would you be unable to succeed as a young new director with a wild background, whether in the field of art films or in the field of commercial films? ! !
My face is burning.
"Space Traveler" has exceeded 200 million in two weeks. Wang Shu has become the second domestic director to have a single film with a box office of more than 200 million. This can be said to be a slap in the face to many people in the entertainment industry.
Although Han Sanping had expected the box office of "Space Traveler" to exceed 200 million, he was still quite excited at the moment.
With this performance, it is natural for him to take the position of the top leader of China Film.
On October 14th, the celebration banquet organized by Han Sanping and Wang Shu was held as scheduled.
Preparations for this banquet started as early as the day before yesterday, and will be officially held after the box office of "Space Traveler" exceeds 200 million.
Many people came to the banquet, including those invited by Han Sanping and some invited by Wang Shu.
With the introduction of Han Sanping, Wang Shu expanded some contacts.
“The second domestic director whose movie box office exceeded 200 million, he is only 20 years old this year, he is really amazing.”
Some people attending the banquet couldn't help but marvel when they saw Wang Shu and Han Sanping chatting and laughing with some higher-status people.
“I thought he would work in the field of art films, but who would have thought that he would be so good at making commercial films.”
The person next to him answered.
“Actually, "Time Traveler" is not a purely commercial film, there is a lot of artistic flavor in it."
"Personally, I feel that Wang Shu is not very good at commercial films."< br>
"Because "Time Traveler" is not a purely commercial film."
"It just combines art films and commercial films."
"I think you also know When making commercial films, art film directors like to add something artistic to the commercial films. This is a common problem for every art film director. "
"Compared to other directors who use this operation to make films that are neither fish nor fowl, Wang Shu is. The combination is just right.”
“Therefore, having only one film called “Time Traveler” does not mean that Wang Shu is also good at making commercial films.”
"It can only be said that he is very lucky. As an art film director, he made a film like "Space Traveler" that successfully combines business and art."
Several people around heard this. , all nodded in agreement.
"Space Traveler" is not a purely commercial film. Wang Shu was lucky enough to successfully combine business and art this time, but it does not mean that his next film will be as successful!
There are very few film works that successfully combine business and art. Wang Shu is just a 20-year-old young director, so it is difficult for him to have such ability. "But no matter what, he is now the second director in China to have a single film with a box office of over 200 million. This name alone is enough to brag about for many years."
"Not to mention, he also has certain achievements in the field of art films."
One person spoke up at the right time.
Hearing this, several people around him nodded.
As these words say, no matter whether Wang Shu can continue to make successful films that combine business and art in the future.
Now Wang Shu has become famous.
In the middle of the celebration banquet, Han Sanping found an opportunity and whispered in Wang Shu's ear: "The shooting of the next movie can be postponed to next year, and the casting can start now."
"With the help of "The Traveler", This can also build momentum for the next film.”
Wang Shu nodded, knowing that since he wants to make a blockbuster, he must first release the news to create hype.
The cast and content of the play can be kept secret to whet the appetite of audiences across the country, but the news about the filming preparations must be released.
“Do you have a suitable actor in mind?” Han Sanping asked.
In the past, they were all small productions, and Han Sanping was generous enough not to interfere in the casting.
Now, it’s a big production. Although he won’t interfere with Wang Shu’s casting, he will give some opinions.
As for the cancellation of Zhou Xun’s role as the heroine, Han Sanping talked to Wang Shu after settling Huayi’s side.
This matter has been discussed.
"What else can I choose? Besides Gong Li, it's Zhang Ziyi." Wang Shu whispered.
"Who are you going to find?" Han Sanping also knew what was going on and asked next.
"Gong Li." Wang Shu said a name.
Although, the two most famous movie stars in China at this stage are Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li.
However, compared to Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi is nothing.
It can be said that Gong Li is the first among mainland female celebrities.
And she began to go to the United States to develop in 2005.
The final result, like many Chinese movie stars who went to the United States to develop, has no explanation.
Chen Long was able to become famous in Hollywood because of the great efforts of Shaw Brothers. In addition, Chen Long himself has a certain skill in Hollywood, and he was able to gain a firm foothold.
For people like Chow Yun-fat, when they arrive in Hollywood, there is no one behind them to work hard to get together, nor is there any outstanding skills. The result is that they run back to China in despair after years of hesitation.
In Hollywood, there is no shortage of actors like Chow Yun-fat, and there is also no shortage of actors like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.
There, there are countless actors who have to work hard but always hesitate.
Acting is just the first step to knocking on the door. If you want to succeed, you must have other specialties.
Chen Long is famous in Hollywood precisely because of his unique Chen Long style action movies.
Now, he clearly feels that Hollywood has copied the martial arts movements from Mandarin films, and he has a sense of crisis that he will be eliminated by Hollywood.
He said this clearly during the interview.
In the past, Hollywood lacked people like them, so they could make a living in Hollywood.
Now, Hollywood is slowly running out of people, and jobs are about to disappear.
Han Sanping nodded, having no objection to this candidate, and then whispered, "Do you want me to help you find a connection?"
"No." Wang Shu was confused when he saw Han Sanping. , smiled and added, "When I was filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan", director Zhang's "A City of Golden Armor" was also filming there. At that time, I went to visit and left each other's contact information with Gong Li."< br>
“That’s it.” Han Sanping suddenly realized and then continued, “In a blink of an eye, “The Legend of Zhen Huan” will be broadcast, and “The City of Golden Armor” will also be released at the end of the year.”
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" has been scheduled and will premiere on October 16, the day after tomorrow, on the prime time set of Yangshi.
Prior to this, the TV series broadcast by Yangshi Golden Theater was "Country Love" starring Zhao Benshan and Wang Xiaoli.
This is the first episode of "Country Love", which premiered in 2006.
It is mainly a light comedy that reflects the love, marriage and career life of rural youth.
It is a good contemporary rural youth film.
The whole play focuses on the love life of college student Xie Yongqiang and rural young woman Wang Xiaomeng, creating a vivid image of a group of rural youth with a new era flavor. Through the love life and entrepreneurial stories of several pairs of young people, it shows the audience from multiple angles A picture of the love life of contemporary rural youth, which is relaxed and full of joy and humor, and full of hope and strength in its twists and turns.
Of course, the main presentation is the rural areas in Northeast China.
Has strong regional color.
"Country Love" will be released on September 30th at the prime time slot of Yangshi TV set after "Operation Without Borders", and will meet the national audience for the first time on Yangshi TV set.
As for "Operation Without Borders", it has been on Yangshi's prime time series since September 14th. After the finale, "Country Love" will take over.
In the original timeline, after the finale of "Country Love", the TV series that Yangshi will take over in prime time on October 16 is "Xiongguanmandao", and then "Great Dunhuang".
Now, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has been replaced by "Country Love".
"Xiongguan Mandao" is a TV series with a main theme, and Wang Shu does not want "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to steal its schedule.
However, this was Yang Wang's arrangement, and he had nothing to do.
"What do you think the box office of "The City of Gold" will be?" Han Sanping asked again.
"Let's go up to 200 million." Wang Shu naturally knows the final box office of "City of Golden Armor", but he needs to pretend not to know for now.
Han Sanping was surprised when he heard this, "Are you so optimistic about it?"
It is undeniable that "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou in 2002 had a box office of 250 million in the mainland.
But since then, "House of Flying Daggers", which also has a luxurious lineup, has only 150 million.
This shows that even though it is Zhang Yimou, there is no guarantee that every "blockbuster" will break the 200 million box office after its release.
Wang Shu smiled and said: "When Director Zhang was filming "Hero", the lineup included Jet Li, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Chen Daoming, Zhang Ziyi and Donnie Yen."
"When filming "Ten Faces" When "Ambush", the cast only included people like Jin Chengwu, Liu Dehua, and Zhang Ziyi."
"Now, in "The City of Gold", there are people like Chow Yun-fat, Gong Li, Jay Chou, and Liu Ye."
“The box office appeal of these people is much stronger than that of Jin Chengwu and Zhang Ziyi.”
“I won’t talk about actors like Gong Li.”
"Jay Lun is the most popular singer-star this year."
"House of Flying Daggers" starring Jin Chengwu, Zhang Ziyi and others can earn 150 million at the box office."
" Two years later, Director Zhang once again directed "The City of Golden Armor" with a more luxurious lineup. There is no reason why the box office cannot reach 200 million."
After saying this, he paused for a moment. Then he added, "Perhaps, like "Space Traveler", "A City of Golden Armor" can break 200 million in two weeks."
