Chapter 701 Spring Festival Champion
Although the first-day box office failed to surpass "Crazy Alien", "The Wandering Earth" has undoubtedly become the most promising movie during this year's Spring Festival.
The film's reputation has exploded, with a Douban score of 8.6, Maoyan Professional's audience score of 9.6, and Taopiao Piao's score of 9.7. It ranks first among the eight movies released during the Spring Festival.
The whole Internet is praising [The Wandering Earth], saying that it has "awesome special effects", "a touching story", "a benchmark for domestic science fiction films" and so on.
Countless moviegoers turned into tap water to promote [The Wandering Earth] for free.
In fact, many people have this idea. If they have seen a good movie but their friends have not, they will be a little proud and then recommend it to them seriously.
[The Wandering Earth] is undoubtedly such a good movie that many people should show off and recommend to those around them.
【Looking at the trailer, I thought it was a high-concept low-cost work, but I didn't expect it to far exceed expectations.
I really didn’t expect that the Chinese could make such a truly “hard science fiction” movie, Guo Fan is awesome, Xiao Poqiu is awesome! 】
【The plot is passionate, the imagination is magnificent, and the pictures are magnificent. This is probably the first time that a Chinese has led all mankind to save the world on the screen. It is so exciting to watch! 】
【Go and see The Wandering Earth, you must go!
If I could give it two hundred points, I would give it five hundred! 】
【This is a true Liu original story, a movie that is truly full of Chinese core but can connect to the universal values of the world. I cried through the last 20 minutes. For the sake of the plot, And for the sake of Chinese science fiction, I finally got ahead.
Salute to humanity! 】
[To be honest, I first went to the cinema of Gu Wei and Wu Jingjin. I originally wanted to see a comedy, but I didn’t want to miss their second collaboration. The result really shocked me.
I really didn’t expect this to be a science fiction movie made by Chinese people. It feels much better than "Wolf Warrior 2".
The grand world view, the frozen world, the Earth, Jupiter, and planetary engines, both the special effects and the plot are at the top level of domestic science fiction films.
No, it should be said that it has surpassed domestic science fiction films and is the only one!
The theme has also been sublimated from the previous patriotism to saving the world.
Not much to say, awesome! 】
[There were a lot of people in the cinema on the first day of junior high school, and the theater for "The Wandering Earth" was almost full. Not surprisingly, everyone went in laughing and joking, and walked out with shock on their faces, and many even shed tears.
If future domestic science fiction movies are of this level, why would we watch Hollywood? We can do it ourselves]
[I went to the cinema with my best friend, originally thinking of supporting Gu Wei’s new movie. As a result, both of us burst into tears. It was such a pity that my grandfather died, and Liu Peiqiang sacrificed his life to save the earth. Sure enough, Gu Wei's works will never disappoint! 】
【.】
Driven by high reputation and high attendance rate, the national film scheduling rate of "The Wandering Earth" in the second grade of junior high school reached 24%, surpassing "Crazy Alien", and the box office It reversed the decline and received a super high box office of 405 million, undoubtedly becoming the box office champion of the day.
".I am not surprised that [The Wandering Earth] can achieve the current results.
I said before it was released that this is an ice-breaking work for domestic science fiction movies and a benchmark.
It’s normal for everyone to like it so much.”
Shanghai Jinyi Cinema, the crew of [The Wandering Earth] is holding a fan meeting, and Gu Wei just answered a question from an audience.
“.I noticed that in the movie, the coalition government’s speeches are always in French instead of the usual English in movies. There are also very few European and American faces in the scenes on the space station. Why is this? Consider it?" After answering the question, another audience member stood up and asked.
Although it has only been a short two days, the plot of "The Wandering Earth" has been analyzed frame by frame by the fans, guessing what the various shots represent.
"Let me tell you this." Guo Fan took the phone.
“Actually, there is no special consideration. The official language of the coalition government in the movie is French entirely because in reality French is the first written language of the United Nations.
The usage of French is very strict, like the law Rigorous and important documents such as these are all written in French internationally.
At such a moment that concerns the life and death of the earth, there is no room for mistakes in the orders issued by the coalition government, so the solemn, full and rigorous French language is used. It’s a matter of course”
What Guo Fan said is very reasonable, but French is the first written language, and English is still the first spoken language.
The reason why I don’t use English is, of course, there are other considerations, but it’s hard to say directly.
Not long after, the meeting at Jinyi Cinemas ended. The main creators of [The Wandering Earth] came out of the theater and got in the car to go to the next road show location.
Although the roadshow activities in the past few days have been relatively intensive, the results of the movie are so good that everyone feels like they have been given a shot of blood and do not feel tired.
At night, in the hotel room, Gu Wei came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
On the sofa in the living room, Meng Ziyi, wearing light yellow pajamas, sat cross-legged on it, holding a pad and sliding his fingers slowly.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Wei sat next to her and put his arms around Sister Meng's slender waist.
“Maoyan has raised our movie’s box office expectations to 4.1 billion.”
“No surprise, as I said before, [The Wandering Earth] deserves this result”
>
“Many people posted some negative comments online today. I read them carefully and found that many of them are nonsense.”
"What did you say?" Gu Wei asked curiously.
“Look.” Meng Ziyi clicked twice and slowly slid the screen with his finger.
【It’s so earthy! The most important thing that science fiction films need is never technology, but imagination and aesthetics! 】
[The special effects are indeed not embarrassing, but the execution of the action scenes is awkward in every scene. I can't understand the cause and effect of what is actually happening, so I took advantage of Cameron to give a few polite compliments. If you have the chance, go and become a teacher as soon as possible! 】
【Shenma Jiba stuff, at this ideological level, let’s not make science fiction movies, and we are not afraid of foreigners’ jokes. I’m really convinced! 】【Old men and young men have a collective middle-school carnival to save the earth.】
[It is still far from the high-end science fiction film full of humanities, scientific wisdom and aesthetics that I expected.
I sigh again, Kubrick is really awesome, Ray is so worthy of kneeling down, and Nolan is really irreplaceable! 】
“How could they do this? We obviously worked so hard to achieve the current effect, but in the end we were demoted to be worthless by them.” Meng Ziyi’s little face was filled with anger, and he pursed his lips as he spoke. Very cute.
“Haha, it’s so normal~
There is no perfect movie in this world.
You have to believe in the diversity of species. There is everyone in this world. No matter how good you are, there will naturally be people who like you and hate you.
When we make movies, as long as the broadest general audience likes them, ignore these "self-righteous", "those looking for a sense of presence", and "those who have been kneeling for a long time".
They can only revel in their own world.
Of course, I’m not saying that those who don’t like our movie must be bad, but most of the comments you read are those who have been kneeling for a long time and can’t stand up.”
Gu Wei put his arm around Meng Ziyi's clothes and put his arms through the gap in Meng Ziyi's clothes.
"You're right, it's not worth it to see them trying to make me angry." Meng Ziyi put the pad in his hand aside and turned to look at Gu Wei.
Then he smiled mischievously and slowly lowered his head.
In the following days, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" continued to rise, with the box office exceeding 400 million for five consecutive days starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year. Its strong box office results shocked many domestic filmmakers.
After the 7-day Spring Festival holiday, "The Wandering Earth" has a total box office of 2.38 billion yuan. Maoyan once again raised the movie's box office forecast to 4.5 billion yuan.
Compared with the absolute top film "The Wandering Earth", "Crazy Alien", which won the single-day box office champion on the first day, was a little weak in the later period.
A total box office of 1.38 billion was collected during the 6-day Spring Festival holiday. The single-day box office fell rapidly. The box office expectation dropped from 4 billion before the release to 2 billion, which disappointed many people.
[Crazy Alien] has a mediocre reputation, with a Douban score of only 6.6, so after getting the highest score the day before, the box office has been declining.
When "The Wandering Earth" was filmed, "Crazy Alien" was right next door to them, and Gu Wei had also seen the movie.
In fact, simply speaking, "Crazy Alien" can be regarded as a qualified New Year comedy.
Nowadays, the audience is dissatisfied, mainly because of the excessive publicity in the early stage, and everyone's expectations for the combination of Ning Hao, Huang Bo, and Shen Teng are too high.
It's like you find a chef for a state banquet and hope that he will cook you a Manchu and Han banquet, but in the end a plate of egg fried rice is served.
Although the taste is good, the gap in my heart is too big, which naturally leads to dissatisfaction.
The first two of Ning Hao’s crazy comedies, [Crazy Stone] and [Crazy Racing], both use chance and coincidence to make impossible things happen in an irrefutable way, thus creating funny and Absurd comedy effect.
[Crazy Alien] The underlying logic is the same, but there are some loopholes in the processing, which makes people feel that it is forced to be funny, and it lacks the natural comedic effect caused by the coincidence of fate. feel.
The reputation and ratings of this drama are not as good as the previous two.
It’s just because Ning Hao is now a great director of domestic entertainment comedy, and the starring actors Huang Bo and Shen Teng are the top stars in the field of comedy movies, that he can get such a high salary during the Spring Festival period. Box office results.
But having said that, even if the reputation is not good and the box office fails to meet expectations, [Crazy Alien] will not lose money.
Because long before the movie was released, the producer [Bad Monkey] had signed a guaranteed distribution contract of 2.8 billion with [Lehuahua Pictures].
Ning Hao had already put the money in his pocket, but Bao Qiang suffered a lot. The final box office of the movie was less than 2.8 billion. He could not make a penny and had to pay some compensation.
[Flying Life] is considered to be the most critically acclaimed movie during the Spring Festival besides [The Wandering Earth].
The box office in 6 days was 1.3 billion, which is not much different from [Crazy Earth]. It is slowly catching up.
Han Han has really established his brand through several directed films.
Even if a movie like "Four Seas" with low ratings is produced later, "Flying Life 2" can still restore its reputation.
[The New King of Comedy] is undoubtedly a bad movie in terms of effectiveness. After the first day, the box office dropped by two-thirds, and there was a lot of criticism on the Internet.
Zhou Xingchi was a little too anxious. He signed a gambling agreement with New Culture Company to ensure that each company made annual profits, otherwise it would lose money.
So after [Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons] failed to achieve the desired results, he hurriedly started this [New King of Comedy].
It's a bit suspicious of making money by making money.
In a hurry, the filming of the movie was relatively rough, and it felt like an online movie.
“.Guarantees are just gambling. It’s normal to lose and win. What’s more, the movie is still in theaters. It’s not certain how much box office it will get in the end. There’s no need for you to feel sad now
You can arrange the schedule yourself, and I will set aside a small investment share for you.
Thank you, this is what you should get.”
After the road show and returning to the crew of [Life Events] to film, Gu Wei called Baoqiang and mainly communicated with him. Half a year into the filming of [Tang Detective 3]
After a few words of conversation on the phone, Bao Qiang started complaining to him about the failure of the [Crazy Alien] bet, [The New King of Comedy]. 】Gu Wei had to comfort him a few words when he was scolded for starring in the film.
[Detective Chinatown] The third film in this series must be given to Wang Baoqiang.
< br>
In fact, it should have been given in the second part, but at that time Wang Baoqiang was having a marriage dispute, and Gu Wei had helped him a lot, so he was embarrassed to mention it.
Now that the third film is about to be filmed, it is impossible for Gu Wei to imitate Xu Zheng and replace him. There is almost no one in the entertainment industry who can replace Bao Qiang, so he simply speaks first before Bao Qiang mentions it.
