Entertainment, I just like making movies

Chapter 212 Breaking myths and creating legends!

"A dark horse emerges, and the low-cost campus romance light comedy achieves another great success!"

"The Lunar New Year stall is divided into two, and the Spring Festival stall rises!"

"The small-budget movie "Youth Campus" produced by Fang Ziheng premiered on February 1st, with a box office of 2.3 million at midnight, reappearing the dark horse miracle."

"The Spring Festival is in full swing, and the youth-themed movie "Youth Campus" ignites New Year's Eve."

"In "Youth Campus", three beauties with very different personalities dream back to their high school days. With humorous dialogues and down-to-earth saucy actions, they launch an attack on beautiful love and compete for their own happiness."

"Three women competing for men is a common phenomenon in modern society. Excellent boys have no worries about being liked by beautiful women. They have more monks and less meat. Only when a man is strong can he attract the joy of girls. In "Youth Campus", the male protagonist Zheng Kai, as the invincible academic hegemon, He is naturally admired by the girls in the class.”

At noon on New Year's Eve, there was a lot of news about "Youth Campus" on the Internet.

A zero-point box office of 2.3 million.

Proving that the film was a success, Hengyu Media and Wanda Films followed up and further strengthened the promotion of "Youth Campus".

Wanda Cinema Line directly provided 50% of the film schedule, and the major theater chains also gave enough face due to Fang Ziheng's contact. The national film schedule of "Youth Campus" averaged 30%, which is 2 points more than the 28% of "New Shaolin Temple" .

However, it will definitely not be able to beat "New Shaolin Temple" at the box office on the first day. After all, there are two superstars, Uncle Long and Brother Hua.

In the previous life, the release date of "New Shaolin Temple" was January 19th, which was not a good schedule.

This time, in order to avoid "Edge of Tomorrow", the producers, China Film and Television, chose February 1st as the release date, which resulted in a better schedule.

But that's all. Andy Lau has made many bad films in recent years, which has exhausted his film credibility.

Movie fans can just say a few words, buy tickets and go to the cinema to support it, but you should consider it.

Speaking of which, this kind of thing makes people speechless.

As an evergreen tree in the music and film circles that has lasted for decades, Andy Lau needs to be popular and popular among the people. He later joined Douyin and broke various records in just a few days.

But when the movies he starred in were released, they just couldn't get high box office, and they were even beaten by lesser-known movies.

Take "New Shaolin Temple" for example, starring Uncle Long, Liu Dehua, Xie Tingfeng, Sister Fan Bing, and Wu Jing. Such a lineup has a box office of 500-600 million yuan at least.

The results were not good, the box office barely exceeded 200 million, and the loss was a mess.

In terms of box office appeal alone, Brother Hua is indeed far behind. Whether it is fans or movie fans, it is one thing to like him, but it is another thing to keep spending money to watch bad movies for him.

February 3rd, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

On this day of family reunion, the film market is ushering in a new round of box office war.

"Youth Campus"!

"New Shaolin Temple"!

"I Know Women's Hearts"!

"Wonderful Heroes"!

"Panda Story"!

Five new films were released one after another, setting off a movie-watching frenzy on this festive day.

Spring Festival!

As the most festive day of the year, it is also the time when Chinese people are most willing to spend money.

People usually live frugally and buy all kinds of things during the Chinese New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, taking the family to the cinema to watch movies has gradually become an entertainment trend.

Especially in second- and third-tier cities and lower prefecture-level cities, as well as grassroots counties, workers who went out to work have returned one after another, and every household is extremely lively.

Today one family will treat guests to singing, and tomorrow that family will spend money to treat everyone to a movie. Don’t do this too often.

The morning of the first day of junior high school!

Yang Cheng, the boss of Yinghuang, got up early in the morning. First, he made two New Year greeting calls to the Hong Kong government and China Film Director Han, and then sent people to send New Year greeting messages to several major families in Hong Kong Island.

After going through the process, he went to the study and turned on the computer to check the box office statistics for New Year's Eve last night.

First place: "New Shaolin Temple" 23 million.

Second place: "Youth Campus" 21.5 million.

Third place: "Edge of Tomorrow" 13 million.

Fourth place: "I Know Women's Hearts" 6.2 million.

Fifth place: "Panda Story" 5.9 million.

Fifth place: "Wonderful Heroes" 5.15 million.

After glancing at the box office report, Yang Cheng's face was startled and instantly turned ugly.

23 million!

Although "New Shaolin Temple" topped the single-day box office on New Year's Eve, Yang Cheng was not happy at all.

Too little!

The production cost was 200 million, one international superstar, one Chinese superstar, and four first-line stars, in exchange for such a poor first-day box office.

If it had been the year before last, no, at the beginning of last decade, he would have been very happy and satisfied.

After the market development last year, under the bombardment of single-day box office with tens of millions at every turn, the first-day box office of 20 million has fallen behind and is no longer on the table.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng set his sights on the second and third place "Youth Campus" and "Edge of Tomorrow".

"I'll throw his mother away!"

Yang Cheng's face darkened, he uttered a Chinese quintessence sentence, and closed the laptop with a snap.

It’s really worth comparing people to others, and throwing away goods when comparing goods.

A film with a small production cost of 20 million yuan can actually get more than 20 million yuan at the box office on the first day.

What makes people even more speechless is that "Edge of Tomorrow" was released for 30 days, and it still had a single-day box office of 13 million.

Isn’t it so outrageous!

Is Fang Ziheng invincible?

Yang Cheng was drunk, lit a cigar, and smoked it depressedly.

the other side.

After Wang Zhongjun finished breakfast, he slowly came to the study room and browsed the new year's film market with great interest.

He has reason to feel relaxed and happy. Huayi's market value has reached a new high and is about to break the 30 billion mark.

The theme of Feng Trousers' new film has been decided. It will be similar to "The Great Earthquake" and adapted from Liu Zhenyun's novel "Reviewing the Past 1942".

One is an earthquake disaster and the other is a natural famine disaster.

In addition, Feng Pengtang also agreed to make a comedy film with the help of Jiu Jin to continue to make money for Huayi.

But this time Huayi couldn't go it alone. Feng Pants' studio wanted to give some share, and Wanda Film's Song Ge also came to seek cooperation.

Huayi has always been weak in terms of theaters. Wanda Films has the support of Wanda Cinemas. Wang Zhongjun is so powerful that he has to pinch his nose and give up part of his interests in exchange for the full support of Wanda Cinemas.

Fang Ziheng just got up now.

During the Chinese New Year, Liu Qianqian, Zeng Li, Lin Feifei, Song Yi, and Damimi all went home to spend time with their parents.

He was alone, without worries, and alone in his empty room.

He also happens to have a rare leisure time. He sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day and sits leisurely on the Diaoyutai.

………

The next day, "Youth Campus" took in a box office of 30 million, surpassing "New Shaolin Temple" to take the top spot on the single-day box office list.

It was on this day that "Edge of Tomorrow" exceeded the 1.2 billion softme coin mark.

February 4, 2011, the second day of the first lunar month.

"Edge of Tomorrow" was released for 33 days, with a total box office of 1.2097 billion yuan!

1.2 billion news hit Weibo’s hot searches, and people were surfing the Internet discussing interesting things about the Spring Festival Gala and the New Year, only to belatedly discovered that “Edge of Tomorrow” was back.

"Damn it, I thought Edge of Tomorrow was canceled, but I didn't expect it was still being released."

"Brother, what are you thinking about? "Edge of Tomorrow" will be released on January 2nd, and it only takes 33 days until today. It's a shame!"

"Haha, I almost forgot about the Chinese New Year these days. I was discussing with my friends when "Edge of Tomorrow" could break the record of "Avatar", but I didn't expect that it broke through 1.2 billion without saying anything. It's awesome!"

"With 1.2 billion in 33 days, the movie has definitely got the key. It is indeed very promising to surpass "Avatar", come on!"

"Break through 1.3 billion and overthrow "Avatar"!"

""Edge of Tomorrow" takes off and takes back the box office championship in mainland film history that belongs to us Chinese!"

As if under some kind of magic, the single-day box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" continued to stabilize in the following days.

On the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th, the single-day box office exceeded 10 million in a row, and the total box office in the mainland reached 1.287 billion!

39 days of release, 1.287 billion!

There is still a gap of 52 million from "Avatar"'s 1.339 billion!

During the entire Spring Festival holiday, from the first to the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the single-day box office of "Youth Campus" exceeded 25 million for eight consecutive days.

Including the 21.5 million on the first day of New Year's Eve, the total box office of "Youth Campus" reached an astonishing 230 million.

This is a full 70 million more than "New Shaolin Temple" which was released on the same day and had a box office of 160 million in 9 days.

Among other movies released during the same period, "I Know Women's Hearts" received 48 million in 10 days. "Wonderful Heroes" sold 42 million in 10 days, and "Panda" sold 37 million in 8 days.

They are all weaklings!

It is basically certain that the weak successor "Edge of Tomorrow" and the popular "Youth Campus" will become the biggest winners in the 2011 Spring Festival.

Especially for "Edge of Tomorrow", it wasn't enough to finish the Lunar New Year slot, but it also took a big bite out of the bonuses from the first few days of the Spring Festival.

February 18th.

"Edge of Tomorrow" held a grand celebration banquet at the Imperial Wanda Hotel.

The banquet was hosted by Hengyu Media and China Film Group, planned by Bona Pictures, and hosted by Bona Pictures and Wanda Film and Television.

Early in the morning, all major entertainment media were busy.

They divided into two groups, one group led by a heavy-handed reporter, and happily headed to the Wanda Hotel.

The editor-in-chief personally monitors the first wave and guides employees with good writing skills to edit the copywriting manuscripts.

At nine o'clock in the morning, one after another colorful soft articles were uploaded to the Internet as if they were free of charge.

"The total box office was 1.346 billion! Surpassing "Avatar", "Edge of Tomorrow" lived up to expectations and topped the box office record in the mainland film market."

"Breaking myths and creating box office legends in film history! Fang Ziheng, the youngest Chinese-speaking director, used his genius concept to bring "Edge of Tomorrow" to the box office record in mainland film history and became the undisputed number one commercial director."

""Edge of Tomorrow" dominated the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival schedules, surpassing the Hollywood blockbuster "Avatar" with a record total box office of 1.346 billion, completing a historic miraculous counterattack in the history of Chinese film."

"Four steps in three years, "The Unknown" has exceeded 200 million, "Detective Chinatown" has exceeded 600 million, "Famous" has exceeded 800 million, and "Edge of Tomorrow" has exceeded 1.3 billion. Who can resist Fang Ziheng's pace!! !”

"Nine years ago during the Lunar New Year, "Hero" broke through time and space, ushering in the blockbuster era of Chinese-language films and inspiring the transition and exploration from literary and artistic films to commercial films.

Since that day, commercial movies have appeared all over the world, and the movie box office has exceeded 100 million, 200 million, 300 million, 500 million, and 800 million as China's economy has taken off.

9 years have passed.

The moment "Edge of Tomorrow" surpassed "Avatar" to regain the box office championship in Chinese film history, the mainland film market ushered in a new era.

1.346 billion!

Fang Ziheng, the only one on the cloud throne! "

All entertainment media are reporting crazily, and many mainstream media have also followed suit and participated in this carnival.

Netizens who were browsing around were immediately excited after seeing the news, and countless movie fans who had watched the movie flocked to it.

"I went ahead and really broke the record of "Avatar"!"

"Ah ah ah, I'm so excited, Fang Ziheng, I love you, I want to have a baby with you!"

"I can't believe it, 1.346 billion has just arrived!"

"Damn it, Edge of Tomorrow is awesome!"

"Fang Ziheng, Niu Potian (broken sound)~"

Although everyone had been looking forward to it, when the real box office data was presented before their eyes, everyone was dumbfounded and extremely excited.

In particular, people in the film industry were excited and filled with emotion as they stared at the record-breaking news of "Edge of Tomorrow."

A year ago, "Avatar" swept the world with unparalleled momentum, giving the nascent Chinese-language movies a shining slap in the face.

For a whole year, the Chinese-language film market seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds.

No matter how much a movie debuts and hits the box office in major theaters across the country, it still can't get enough of "Avatar".

Even the summer box office champion "Famous" has sold well in overseas film markets and continued the channel for the export of Chinese-language films.

However, "Famous" only barely exceeded 800 million at the box office, which is a full 500 million away from the 1.339 billion of "Avatar".

"Avatar" has always been an unreachable mountain that lies in the hearts of Chinese filmmakers.

It wasn't until "Edge of Tomorrow" came out that it became a global hit after its release and continued to reap box office results in the mainland market with a box office trend no less than that of "Avatar", did Chinese-language films gain a glimmer of hope.

In those days, the first thing countless people did when they got up every day was to check the box office status of "Edge of Tomorrow" online to see how it was going.

Fortunately.

God does not fail China and the Chinese film market!

"Edge of Tomorrow" cut through the thorns and smashed the moon, pushing it all the way. Facing Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", Feng Pants's "If You Are the One 2" did not give up at all, and faced the tough steel head on.

The box office trend is just like the Chinese soldiers in the movie, fearless and marching forward step by step, reaching 800 million, rising to 1 billion, and breaking 1.2 billion.

In the end, the total box office was 1.346 billion, surpassing the 1.339 billion "Avatar".

Many people in the industry who received the invitation put on new and decent clothes and came to Wanda Hotel with joy.

Amidst the flashing lights, everyone walked into the hotel lobby with smiles on their faces while wishing a happy New Year to familiar people.

When the guests walked into Gate No. 1, they saw Fang Ziheng, dressed in a crisp black suit, standing among a group of film and television company bosses and celebrity artists.

Handsome and outstanding!

Like the most dazzling superstar!

No matter how bright the stars are around him, and the female stars vying for beauty, no one can take away his brilliance.

Every invited guest couldn't help but smile knowingly when they saw this scene, and praised secretly in their hearts.

Fang Ziheng!

This young man who has just turned 24 is truly the most talented filmmaker in Chinese films.
