Chapter 247 Self-destruction
Two weeks after its release, the box office of "Wolf Warrior" entered a period of weakness.
Although it is because after more than 10 days of release, the movie’s box office potential is almost used up, it is also most directly related to a new blockbuster released in the third week.
On April 12, the long-awaited Hollywood blockbuster [Fast and Furious 7] finally landed in mainland theaters. According to preliminary statistics, the box office for zero-hour screenings exceeded 46 million, setting a new record for [Transformers 4: Age of Extinction]. 】21 million zero-point box office record.
According to data provided by "Maoyan Box Office Analysis", as of 10:00 on the 12th, the national box office of [Fast and Furious 7] has exceeded 200 million, accounting for 94.50% of the market.
In 2013, [Fast and Furious 6] achieved a box office of 414 million in China. As a super powerful Hollywood movie series, [Fast and Furious 7] received enthusiastic attention as soon as it started filming, especially the unexpected accident of starring Paul Walker. His death triggered an outpouring of sadness and remembrance across the country, and the film also received unprecedented attention.
In the first two days of the release of [Fast and Furious 7], major online ticketing platforms opened pre-sale channels for midnight screenings, and the sales were extremely hot. The nearly 10,000 midnight screenings that day were almost full, and the nationwide The rough box office estimate is over 46 million.
According to preliminary statistics, the film's first-day box office has reached 400 million yuan (including zero-point screenings), breaking both the first-day and single-day box office records in the Chinese film market.
Last summer, the movie "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction" broke the limits of the Chinese film market with overwhelming momentum, with a box office of 20 million at midnight, nearly 200 million on the first day, and a single-day box office of nearly 2.7 on the second day of release. 100 million; and with the arrival of [Fast and Furious 7], these three records have now passed away. Just one zero-point scene alone reached 46 million, and 400 million were taken in one day - this is like an astronomical figure, you know It is not easy for many movies to get 5 million at the box office in a single day. It would be good to accumulate 400 million in half a month of release.
As of the 13th, the proportion of [Fast and Furious 7] film schedules is still high, accounting for about 60% of the country's total; and the films that will be released this week are difficult to match in terms of sales. This has had a fatal impact. Zhang Aijia's "Nian Nian" is too literary, and Yi Nengjing's directorial debut "I Am the Queen" does not look like a blockbuster, including "The Noble Thief", which is also an imported film, even with John For a big star like Johnny Depp, however, due to the relatively limited publicity and attention of the film, it is unlikely that he will become a big success.
This is indeed the case. [Fast and Furious 7] exceeded 500 million in two days and 1 billion in five days. Since its release, the film's single-day box office has never fallen below the 100 million mark, and the cumulative box office in 6 days has exceeded 1.1 billion. .
When [Fast and Furious 7] was a hit, no one seemed to pay attention to what other new movies were being released in the cinema.
Domestic filmmakers shouted "Wolf is coming", but there was nothing they could do about this speeding blockbuster.
Affected by this, [Wolf Warrior] has reached the 500 million mark in its cumulative box office in its third week of release, but the growth rate is very slow, and the number of films scheduled in the top 20 cities across the country is only about 5%.
The new film "I Am the Queen" was released and was temporarily postponed to 2 pm on the 15th to meet the audience. Unfortunately, the box office on the first day was less than 3 million, and the box office in the three days of release was about 8.5 million.
Everyone is placing their hopes on the three new Chinese-language films that will be released soon, namely "All Things Grow" starring Fan Bingbing and Han Geng, "Left Ear" starring Su Youpeng and Gu Wei, and "Left Ear" starring Huang Xiaoming and Yang Mi. [Why is the shengxiao silent?]
The three movies will be released on the 17th, 24th and 30th respectively, hoping to regain some ground for Chinese-language movies when [Fast and Furious 7] is ravaging the Chinese film market.
On April 15, the youth romance film "Everything Grows" held a premiere press conference in Beijing. Producers Fang Li, Lu Jinbo, director Li Yu and starring Fan Bingbing, Han Geng, Qi Xi, Sha Yi and Wu Moqiu appeared.
Recently, the relationship between Fan Bingbing and Li Chen has been hotly discussed again. The two parties have an ambiguous attitude and neither of them directly admitted it.
When asked about this question at the press conference, Fan Bingbing said bluntly, "I don't want to respond to any questions about relationships."
She also said that she had seen a topic on the Internet called "There is a kind of publicity period called Fan Bingbing and Li Chen." She did not want to talk about feelings during the publicity period, but she kept being asked.
At the press conference, major celebrities revealed the embarrassing things in their youth.
Fan Bingbing recalled that when he came to Beijing to work hard, he only had 400 yuan per month for living expenses.
In response to the topic of "youth poverty", Han Geng revealed that he rented a computer from a classmate in the computer department 13 years ago. Instead of returning it, he secretly sold it. As soon as this statement came out, the former Sa Beining, the host of the legal program, was speechless and asked him directly: "Do you know the nature of this?"
Han Geng didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter, and recalled it as a funny thing: "Later I went to South Korea and heard from my classmates that I had been looking for the person who lost his computer for four or five years.”
The host and guests all looked embarrassed after hearing this. Sabei Ning had no choice but to smooth things over and said: "You confessed today, so this is considered surrender! After so many years, the prosecution period has passed..."
When Han Geng heard this, he was given "leniency for confession"? Suddenly he became more interested, and he added: "Besides stealing computers, I used to like listening to music when I was studying, and we didn't have money to buy tapes. So we wore military coats with particularly large cuffs and went to other people's stalls. , one sleeve can hide 5 boxes..."
When it comes to the simultaneous release of the Hollywood blockbuster [Fast and Furious 7] in the mainland, [All Things Grow] producer Lu Jinbo is very confident, "Don't be so worshipful. In [Super 7], people there are brainless and get into fights at every turn, but in [All Things Grow], everyone has feelings." Regarding the box office performance of "All Things Grow", he said, "It is the best in the history of movies. The box office of this youth film should be higher than that of the previous best youth films.”
However, the reality is that the new Chinese film that everyone has high hopes for did not go as planned. The leading film "Everything Grows" was released on the 17th. The box office on the first day was only 24 million, which was less than a fraction of "Fast and Furious 7" (the box office on the 17th was 140 million). Fan Bingbing and Han Geng teamed up. Nothing can shake the dominance of this Hollywood blockbuster.
"Han Geng has worked with him before when he was filming commercials. Why didn't he see that this person was so brainless at the time?"
While eating and resting together at noon, Yang Mi sighed while scrolling through the news.
She and Gu Wei are both spokespersons for Pepsi-Cola, and they had some contact with Han Geng when filming commercials.
Yang Mi’s father is a policeman, and the environment she has lived in since she was a child has made her more sensitive to illegal crimes than the average person.
She felt that Han Geng's speech at the film conference was equivalent to self-destruction. It was no longer a moral issue, but a real violation of the law.
"Many celebrities are not very knowledgeable and culturally advanced, but they are held up high by their fans, which makes them feel that they are superior to others. When he said this, he did not realize that he had broken the law."
For Gu Wei was also speechless in this situation.
To be honest, many well-known celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry were "suicided" by me. They performed various self-destructions and coquettish actions, all because they were afraid that they would not attack quickly enough.
“Sister Mi, now that the momentum of [Fast 7] is so strong, you are not worried about [Why Shengxiaomo], which will be released at the end of the month?”
“What do I have to worry about? You already said it would be released at the end of the month, and by then [Fast 7] will be in its fourth week, and no matter how great the momentum is, it will be at the end of its tether.
On the contrary, the movie "Left Ear" starring you will be released next week. Now the first movie "All Things Grow" has been confirmed. How will "Left Ear" perform next? "
Yang Mi looked at Gu Wei with a smile and said.
Gu Wei didn't look worried at all and said confidently:
"Follow [Speed 7] The current situation is to break the domestic movie box office record. To say that it can be defeated is definitely a pipe dream.
But it should be no problem for [Left Ear] to grab a piece of meat from [Fast 7] and capture part of the market box office share.
After all, this is my movie, right? "
Seeing Gu Wei say such pretentious words with his best expression, Yang Mi deliberately said something sarcastic.
But when she thought of Gu Wei's previous achievements, she added I swallowed my words.
"Sister Mi, we can compare the box office performance of the two upcoming movies. How about if the one with the worse box office performance agrees to a condition? "
Gu Wei then said with a smile.
"Okay, if you don't agree, it's like I'm afraid of you!"
Although he lacked confidence in himself, Yang Mi did not show weakness.
She could imagine what the little pervert Gu Wei would ask for. It didn't matter even if she lost, it was just that she would work harder at night, which would be considered painful and happy.
Happy Chinese Valentine’s Day everyone!
