Chapter 174 The last youth film
On the 23rd, "Ink Attack" will be released first.
On the 24th, "To Youth" will follow.
Although the directors of the two films are unknown in mainland China.
However, the producers of the two films are two of the top industry players in the Mainland.
One is the old aristocrat Huayi, and the other is the newly crowned king Rongchen Pictures.
Not only that, the relationship between the people involved in the two films is even more complicated.
Liu Dehua is not only the star of "Ink Attack", but also the developer and producer of "To Youth".
One of the two directors is from the same background as Andy Lau, and the other is a newcomer from Baodao supported by his new star director program.
The head-on battle between the two films can be said to be very topical, and it can be regarded as igniting the flames of war for the upcoming Lunar New Year film.
On the 24th, the first-day box office of "Ink Attack" was released.
The mainland box office is 4 million, and the Hong Kong box office is 800,000.
Huayi’s general manager’s office.
Wang Zhonglei’s face was as dark as Bao Gong.
I secretly cursed Li Chen, this bastard, who the hell said Andy is not a box office poison!
Isn’t this poisonous?
Looking at this situation, let alone hundreds of millions, there is a question mark whether it can exceed 50 million.
"To Youth" was also released today. He didn't need to watch it to know that "Ink Attack" was a complete failure.
Wang Zhonglei irritably swept away the office supplies on the floor.
Deputy Xu Li stood aside and did not dare to breathe.
"The Night Banquet" suffered a huge loss, and "Mo Gong" is probably even worse than that.
RMB 150 million was invested in this big production, and with the box office on the first day, no wonder Wang Zhonglei was so angry.
"Immediately send out a few more drafts and let Zhang Zhiliang and the crew continue to promote hard. We can't stop! Go! Go quickly!"
Wang Zhonglei's roar shook the sky, and Xu Li hurried away. .

“The box office of “Ink Attack” grossed 4 million on the first day, which moved the audience!”
Looking at the massive press releases on the Internet! and title, Yang Siwei burst out laughing.
"Boss, is Hua Yi crazy? Isn't it embarrassing to deceive yourself and others like this?"
Li Chen leaned on the sofa and said with a relaxed smile: "They are not crazy, so what if they are deceiving themselves."
< br>"At least few ordinary viewers would care about the cost of "Ink Attack" and what the first-day box office represents."
Yang Siwei thought about it. If she were an ordinary person, she might not see this. Will go to the cinema.
“Brother Hua’s reputation as a box-office poison may have caught on again.”
Li Chen burst out laughing: "If you're to blame, it's Brother Hua's poor ability to review scripts."
The next day, the box office of "To Youth" was released on the first day, which made the big and small kings of Huayi a little bit overwhelmed. Face.
The mainland box office was 9.85 million, and the Hong Kong box office was 2.35 million.
Which one is higher and which one is lower will be judged.
Sina Entertainment News
"The box office of "Youth" on the first day was close to 10 million. According to several theater managers in Beijing, most of the moviegoers are college students. It is expected that the box office of "Youth" will exceed 12 million in the next two days."
Southern Weekly
“1 .50 billion, "Ink Attack" lost to the small- and medium-budget youth drama "To Youth." Huayi's two consecutive blockbusters suffered from a box office slump. Under the whitewash, it was just a farce talking to itself."
The next two days went as expected by the media.
The box office of "To Youth" exceeded 35 million in its first weekend. "Ink Attack" had a box office of 20 million in its first week, but "Ink Attack" was released one day earlier than "To Youth".
Netizens’ comments were sharp and ruthless, not only for “Ink Attack” but also for “To Youth”.
Netizen A
“Since Andy Lau’s character Ge Li walked alone from the yellow sand in the sky and wanted to save this city, I started beating a little drum in my heart.”
"How can one person save a city? How can four thousand plus one person fight against a hundred thousand people?"
Netizen B
“I watched a movie that I regretted again: Mozi Raiders.”
“It seems that it should be called Mozi Raiders. You may think this name is a bit like a second-rate Hong Kong movie, Tokyo Raiders. Seoul Strategy and the like."
"So I chose the abbreviation, Mo Gong, why not Zi Gong!"
"The film is very unimaginative. It is said that the screenwriter compiled ten Year, my mother!”
"What is the concept of ten years? Ten years ago, I didn't know you and you didn't belong to me."
"If it were me and it took me ten years to write a script, I definitely wouldn't want it."
< br>"This already shows that it is not a good book. Good books are all flashes of inspiration, and good movies don't even have a book."
"Classics are all jokes by geniuses, and masterpieces are all nonsense by wise men."< br>
“It’s not something that a fool can hold back by holding it in. A movie script actually held it back...”
Netizen C
“What’s more interesting is that Fan Congcheng came “in time”, hugged Dong Bo who was already poked very happy, and asked a few questions.”
“The first sentence "What's wrong with you?" The second sentence is "Are you okay?" ”
“If it were not illegal to set fire, I would burn down the cinema! "
"If I can get on the screen, I'll slap Fan Zhiteng's two big mouths! ”
"It's like that, can it be okay? If I can refund the money, if I can't come, I regret it so much!"
"This original movie is definitely a good story, how could the screenwriter make it like this? "
"Shark's fin, bird's nest, abalone, steak, and salmon cooked together become a pot of swill."
"I really want to ask the crew, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Netizen Ding
""To Youth" is nothing more than playing the "National Memory" card, which is very self-preserving. With "Those Years" in front of it, "To Youth" is as dull as water."
"I want to ask The question is, why was this movie made, and what is its meaning? Is it the hazy confusion of youthful growth, or is it a nostalgia for the beauty of the past with a disillusioned mentality in the future? "
"To sum up in one sentence? , "Ink Attack" is incomprehensible, and "Youth" is cliche, Xiao Li, don't indulge in smug self-admiration."
Although the reputation of the two dramas is not good, it does not hinder the success of "To Youth". The box office is soaring.
Liu Dehua’s fans really crush Hu Ge and all the starring actors in "To Youth".
But its box office appeal is not as attractive as those of fans of the original "Youth" and the new generation of popular niche actors like Hu Ge.
Liu Dehua doesn't care about this. He got a lot of salary from "Ink Attack", and it seems that he can make a lot of money from "To Youth" now.
I just feel a little sorry for the Wang Zhonglei brothers.
Many netizens on Li Chen’s blog left messages asking Li Chen to reflect on himself and stop filming these youth bubble dramas!
Li Chen followed his good deeds and left a line on his blog.
"Since "Those Years" and the end of "To Youth"."
"In the future, Rongchen Pictures will no longer produce youth campus romance films, nor will it invest in such films."
< br>“I humbly accept the opinions of netizens and resolutely correct them.”
Liu Yifei also left a message on Li Chen’s blog.
"Little Li Zi has a correct attitude, please forgive him once"
