Chapter 246: Young and Mature
In the next week, there were almost no movies on the market that could compete with "Wolf Warrior", allowing this dark horse in the film market in early April to continue to harvest box office.
As of the second weekend of April 12, the total box office of "Wolf Warrior" exceeded 450 million yuan, setting a box office record for domestic action war-themed movies.
[Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage] was also released on the 12th.
This animated film, whose box office performance has exceeded everyone’s expectations, has grossed a total box office of 1.758 billion since it was released nationwide on February 13, two months ago, becoming the new domestic film box office champion, surpassing the The second place [Thailand] has a box office of close to 500 million.
Unfortunately, it is still a little short of the box office record of [Transformers 4] of 1.979 billion.
Since the 1990s in the Chinese film market, the holder of box office records has always been Hollywood blockbusters.
From [Titanic] to [Avatar], and then to last year’s [Transformers 4], every time such a blockbuster hits the Chinese market, it will create a jaw-dropping result.
In 1998, [Titanic] swept the mainland with a box office of 360 million, becoming a memory of the era for the audience, and occupied the top spot on the mainland box office list for 11 years.
At that time, a domestic movie with a box office of over 10 million was considered a big hit, but over 100 million was unthinkable.
Until 2002, the movie "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou was released. When there were only more than 1,000 theaters nationwide that year, it achieved a mainland box office of 248 million yuan, accounting for a quarter of the total box office for the year.
[Hero] is known as the pioneering blockbuster in mainland China.
It was also this movie that made our filmmakers regain their confidence and feel that Hollywood movies are not invincible. As long as we work hard, sooner or later we will regain the box office championship in the mainland film market.
Unfortunately, just as the box office of domestic films is getting higher and higher, and the Chinese film market is booming, Cameron's "Avatar", a cross-generational work, has landed in China.
This movie directly brought the domestic movie box office record to more than 1 billion, and finally settled at 1.428 billion.
The emergence of "Avatar" was a dimensionality reduction blow to domestic films at that time. Domestic film companies and directors couldn't believe that movies could still be made like this?
Later, domestic films also produced many box-office hits, such as "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", "Let the Bullets Fly", etc. Unfortunately, they are still far away from the 1 billion mark. .
It wasn’t until 2012 that a domestic comedy film [囧囧] appeared, which surprisingly achieved a box office of more than 1.2 billion, becoming the first domestic film with a box office of more than 1 billion, bringing it closer The distance from [Avatar].
After that, domestically produced movies worth over one billion yuan sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Gu Wei's "Chinatown Detective", Ning Hao's "Heart Blossoms on the Road", etc., have also allowed everyone to see our own people regaining the box office of the domestic film market. Record hope.
Even if the 2014 "Transformers 4" breaks the box office record to 1.979 billion, everyone is no longer despairing, because according to the current development momentum, it is just around the corner for domestic movies to catch up or even surpass Hollywood blockbusters.
The appearance of [The Return of the Great Sage] only confirms this point of view again.
“We are all happy together. Such a result is all due to Director Tian and the production staff, as well as the results of Mr. Wang’s powerful propaganda.
No problem, after a while I will return to Beijing and of course I will not be absent from the film’s celebration party.
Hahaha, you’re welcome. Let’s work together for a win-win situation. No one can rely on the other.
I have prepared the share of [Tang Detective 2] for you, Mr. Wang, and we will meet again when the time comes.”
In the morning, in the hotel room, Gu Weigang hung up the call from Wang Changtian.
I stayed up all night filming last night. The filming of "Xiu Chun Knife 2" made Gu Wei's biological clock a little disordered. Mainly because there were too many night scenes. Most of the time, he rested during the day and filmed at night. Coupled with the frequent fighting scenes, it is very exciting.
"What is the final box office of [The Return of the Great Sage]?" "
Yang Mi, who was lying next to Gu Wei, listened quietly to him answering the phone. His slender hands, like onion-like fingers, were tracing back and forth on Gu Wei's strong chest. I took a photo with Yang Mi last night. After finishing a rivalry scene, I returned to the hotel and walked to her room door. She gently led me into her room
“The total box office is 1.758 billion, which is about the same as expected.”
“This is the first domestic movie with a revenue of 1.5 billion+. It’s really amazing. When can I make one? A movie that was a hit at the box office? "
Yang Mi hung on Gu Wei's body, her head pressed against his chest, and she said a little sourly.
“Sister Mi has several movies this year, maybe one of them will be a big hit?
I watched the movie "Why Shengxiao Mo" at the end of the month and was hopeful. At the beginning of this year, the TV series version "Why Shengxiao Mo" was very popular. With the traffic of this big IP, it should not be difficult to achieve good box office results. ”
Yang Mi’s current film resources look really good. Last year’s “The Breakup Master”, which she collaborated with Deng Chao, was a hit at the box office, and later she filmed “City in Love” directed by Wen Muye.
At the end of last year, I worked with Huang Xiaoming on the film version of "Why Sheng Xiao Mo", and now I am filming the second part of "Xiu Chun Knife" with Gu Wei
After that, there was also "I am a Witness" with Lu Han.
It can be said that after returning from Hong Kong Island and the explosion of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", Yang Mi became red and purple, and appeared in various movies. Drama resources are endless.
"I hope so~
You don't know that when we were filming "Why Shengxiao Mo", the baby played Huang Xiaoming's sister in the play, and the two of them were messing around with each other on the set."< br>
When it comes to [Why is the Shengxiao silent], Yang Mi couldn't help but complain.
"They have already started talking about marriage. This behavior is normal."
Gu Wei remembers that this year is the year when Huang Xiaoming and baby get married. Unfortunately, the wedding No matter how high-profile you are, no matter how much money you spend, your relationship will eventually become a stranger.
"The movie you helped Wu Jing promote is also very popular. It has a box office of more than 400 million, but it seems that the online reviews are not very good recently."
"This is normal, [Wolf Warrior]" in the final analysis It’s a movie with a main theme. Nowadays, some people can’t stand up after kneeling for a long time.
When others stand up, they have to curse a few words before they are willing to do so. ”
Gu Wei’s. The tone was quite disdainful.
“Let’s just talk about this among ourselves, never say it outside.
Although you are very popular now, you also have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, so be careful about what you say. "
Yang Mi said with some worry.
"Don't worry, Sister Mi, am I such an indifferent person? "
Gu Wei smiled.
"I am afraid that you will be too arrogant when you become famous at a young age. I have also gone through this stage of yours. ”
Gu Wei knew that Yang Mi was doing it for his own good, so he gently turned over and pressed Yang Mi under him.
“Sister Mi, I am young and mature, you should understand this.”
