Chapter 402 First Day Box Office
The pilot is still responsible for the distribution of China Film. China Film is currently a company approved to introduce imported films in China. In order to ensure the screening and copy of imported films and maintain a good cooperative relationship with them, the theater chain will take care of the films produced when it comes to China Film distribution, so the pilot did not suffer any losses in the film schedule.
According to the feedback from several key theaters in China, the pilot accounted for 31 films in the top ten key cities in the country on the first day, while the world's no-thief films accounted for 56 films, and other films accounted for only 13!
The pilot program is much less than the filming of the world without thieves. It is not that the theaters are more optimistic about the filming industry, but that the pilot program is officially released at 6 pm and has relatively few filming. However, judging from the number of scenes in the prime time, the pilot program is almost twice as fast as the filming of the world without thieves. Judging from the data obtained, the pilot program will be as high as 51 tomorrow, while the filming of the world without thieves is only 40.
Cinemas are not charities. The pilots can get such high screenings thanks to Zhang Ran’s reputation accumulated in the past. The box office of drummers exceeded 100 million, and the time and space warriors broke the Titanic record. In the view of cinemas, Zhang Ran is a box office pharmacy that is stronger than Feng Xiaogang.
In addition, the pilots have conducted many previews across the country these days. From the on-site reactions to watch the movie, it is definitely a good work that touches people's hearts.
At five o'clock in the evening, a long queue was lined up at the entrances of many theaters in major cities across the country. Now the world is no longer popular, and now another movie is Zhang Ran, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies has been completely ignited.
Today is Thursday, and white-collar workers are still at work, and the students are basically queuing up to buy tickets in the lobby.
Wu Wenbo and his girlfriend Chen Li are no longer students, but they are Zhang Ran’s die-hard fans, and they only met by participating in the event of the Time Warriors in Cannes. Zhang Ran’s movie is their matchmaker, so he must be supported by the cinema as soon as possible.
They came to queue up since noon, successfully grabbed the first batch of tickets, and entered the venue as soon as possible. The audience who came later had to wait for the next game.
The lights soon dimmed and the movie began to show.
Many people left the show when the Aviator was screened in Venice, because the film had many backlight shots at the beginning, with many overexposed shots, the light was very strong and too dazzling, making people feel uncomfortable. Now no audience has left the show, but many people are talking in a low voice.
"Why do you always shoot the sun? It's so shaking, my eyes are blurred!"
"That's right, the light is too strong. Why are you shooting like this?"
"How good is it to shoot like a burst drummer? What are you doing in such messy things!"
Chen Li believed that Zhang Ran had the intention to shoot like this, and asked in a low voice: "Why do you always shoot the sun?"
Wu Wenbo explained: "This should be a metaphor, which shows that it was an era burned by the scorching sun. The sunny days of ginger patterns also had large areas of sunshine, but Zhang Ran did it even more perfectly."
Chen Li nodded thoughtfully, which sounded very reasonable.
However, as the story progressed, various dissatisfaction voices gradually disappeared, and the audience was gradually brought closer to the story.
The pilot tells a Chinese story, and many details are unaware of foreign audiences. Just like Gu Changwei's peacock was returned in Venice, the fundamental reason is that the members of the jury find it difficult to understand the story.
When the audience saw Qiao Zhengfei flying the J-8 against the 16, in addition to applauding the wonderful aerial drama, many people would think of the South China Sea crash in 2001, which evoke memories of the past. Seeing the slogan "Smashing the Three Irons", the content of the southern tour speech in the newspaper, the return of Xiangjiang, and the appointments, they could evoke memories of the past.
Through the movie, the audience sees the past years and the dreams and feelings hidden in their hearts.
For fans of Zhang Ran like Wu Wenbo and Chen Li, watching the pilot this time was a double surprise. Not only could you see the wonderful movie content, but you could also enjoy Zhang Ran's performance. Although Wu Wenbo did not have an accurate understanding of acting skills, he felt that Zhang Ran's every move was a play, and the whole performance was natural, and soon people forgot Zhang Ran. He only saw a man named Qiao Zhengfei working hard again and again for his flight dream.
The movie gradually came to an end. When the last flight came, Qiao Zhengfei was flying the plane and drove forward, the music of chasing the dream and the innocent heart sounded, and the atmosphere was reached.
All the audience held their breath, Chen Li held Wu Wenbo's hand tightly, and listened to Wu Wenbo muttering in a low voice: "Fei, Qiao Zhengfei, Fei!"
In fact, Chen Li was also shouting this in her heart, but she had no choice but to say it. Her mouth could not be opened because of extreme tension, and her face was too excited and a faint blush appeared.
Not only them, almost everyone has only one thought in their minds, Qiao Zhengfei, fly, you will definitely fly!
Qiao Zhengfei, fly!
Qiao Zhengfei, fly!
The plane's speed is getting faster and faster. Qiao Zhengfei controls the operating rod, the tail of the plane swings downward, and the plane instantly raises its head. Then the plane soars into the air, like a sharp arrow rushing into the sky.
In the sky, the sun was bright, and the strong sunlight made people's eyes almost unable to open. Qiao Zhengfei walked against the light and rushed towards the sun.
The strong sunshine makes people unable to open their eyes, but what is brighter than the sun is Qiao Zhengfei's smile. Twenty years of dreams have finally come true, and he shouts in the sky.
Ahhhh
Liu Jiao in the camera burst into tears, and countless viewers in front of the screen blurred their eyes.
After the movie ended, the audience felt empty and seemed to have not yet been able to get out of the movie world. Many female audiences were still quietly touching their tears.
Wu Wenbo looked at Chen Li who kept wiping her tears and smiled: "Why are you still crying? You're so many tears? It turns out that women are made by women!"
Chen Li seemed a little dissatisfied with Wu Wenbo's joke and glared at him fiercely: "Hmph! You are so stalwart man!"
Wu Wenbo smiled and said, "I really like this movie, what do you think?
"I also like it very much. But what does Liu Jiao mean in the last sentence? That was the last time I saw Qiao Zhengfei. That day I saw him flying into the sun? Does this sentence mean Qiao Zhengfei died?"
"It's possible that Qiao Zhengfei is seriously ill, but I hope he's alive!"
Gu Xiaobei, who passed by Wu Wenbo, looked at him and then hurriedly left the theater. This was a movie that he could not only watch once, and he originally wanted to watch it again. However, he made an appointment with someone and had to write a review as soon as possible after watching the movie, and had to rush back to start work.
When he got home, Gu Xiaobei sat in front of his laptop, thought for a while, and trembled with his hands and feet, and then posted it to NetEase's I Love Movie Forum.
"The movie is extremely stylized and creative. The movie has many metaphors, various symbols, and has a large number of overexposure and backlighting lenses. But except for the strong sunlight at the beginning, the other parts are perfect. The whole movie is full of creativity! After watching the burst drummer and the time warrior, I always think that Zhang Ran is a craftsman director in Hollywood, but now I realize that he is a lunatic and a lunatic. He dares to shoot movies like this. I am convinced! No wonder the movie manual and visual and audio have to give him the first place. It's so awesome! I don't know how to describe it! I can only say that this movie must be watched in the cinema, otherwise you will regret it!"
As soon as the article was posted, someone prompted to reply. Gu Xiaobei took a look and said that he was a friend, Zen Master Woodcarving, and a very fanatical movie fan.
"Xiaobei, is this your film review? It's too watery, is it? Symbol, hint, strong sunshine? Why does it sound like a bit sunny day?"
Gu Xiaobei replied: "I just express my feelings, but the film review has not been written yet! The sunny days talk about youth and the growth of special times. The flying people talk about the conflict between dreams and reality, and the changes in the past twenty years from 1978 to 1998. To a certain extent, I think it may be more like Jia Zhangke's platform. But it is different. The styles of the two people are too big. Jia Zhangke is a realist, his movies are pessimistic and realistic, and he always feels depressed after watching his movies. The flying people are different, it is a hymn of idealism. The whole movie is very ode to idealism. The whole movie is very ode to the vitality. I don't know how to describe it. Now my mind is full of blockbusters of sunshine. I need to think quietly about how to write the film review!"
At the same time, audiences who watched the movie in various forums and post bars were sharing their experiences.
"He's so moved. I drank a little too much water today and I've always wanted to go to the bathroom, so my feelings didn't get started when I was watching the movie. Many sad parts were a little choked. But at the end of the movie, the song of the innocent heart of chasing my dreams and chasing my heart was flying up, and Qiao was flying into the sky. Oh my god, I got goose bumps all over the floor and almost peeed my pants!"
"I have shed so many tears, but I don't feel emotional at all. I like Zhang Ran's performance very much. I am worthy of being a teacher in the performance department. I act much better than those stars. This touching came very naturally, real and simple. I recommend everyone to watch it!"
"Damn it! So touching, this is the charm of a good movie. Although this is also real. Dreams are a thing that everyone yearns for, but how many people can give it like Qiao Zhengfei? Don't say it can't be realized easily, it's just that your desire and actions are not enough. If you can give 10,000 percent of it, then one day, all dreams will come true! Don't let everything hinder the pursuit of dreams!"
"That air combat scene was so exciting, very tragic, reminding me of Wang Wei. I don't know what to say. In addition to the wonderfulness of the whole movie, my language expression ability is almost gone!"
At two o'clock in the morning, the last screening of the movie ended.
At the same time, the office of Century Peak is still brightly lit, and company executives are gathered together to wait for the first day's box office statistics.
At three o'clock, the staff came over and handed over a stack of reports.
Zhang Ran took a look and handed the report to Wu Ruide: "8.4 million!"
This data is not bad, but it is definitely not good!
All the publicity should be done. I thought the box office on the first day would definitely exceed 10 million, but I didn’t expect it to be only 8.4 million, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to everyone!
Ning Hao was a little hit: "How much is the box office in the world without thieves?"
Wu Ruide glanced: "7.1 million!"
Qiu Yuanxu's face changed: "If you don't open the gap with the world's Wuzi, it's probably difficult to open it in the next few days. In this state, the world's Wuzi can't reduce the schedule of films. It will be released next week, and we are in big trouble!"
This is a battlefield for the three strong men, and there is no mistake. Just like a duel between experts, a small mistake is enough to be fatal. Now that the pilot has lost the first battle, the media will inevitably report on this trend next.
Chapter completed!
