The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 386
"Spike II" was officially released on July 7, and it can be regarded as the first domestic blockbuster in Huaguo's summer vacation in 14.

National Film's main theme blockbusters "The Founding of the Army" and "Flying Eagle Attack", as well as the first part of the "Wukong Biography" trilogy, which Tianrun Pictures has placed high hopes on, will also be released one after another.

In addition, "Mutants II Hellfire" and "Heart of Steel" have joined the battlefield.

Coupled with the second work of Universal Pictures' dark universe, "The Werewolf", which was released at the end of June, although "The New Mummy" hit the market, Universal is still advancing the plan of the dark universe according to the original schedule.

Adding "Spike II" is equivalent to seven blockbuster films fighting fiercely for the summer vacation.

However, considering last year's summer holidays, that is, July and August, a total of 96 billion box office was generated. If September is included, the box office will be 120 billion. Although the seven blockbusters are a bit crowded, they are not too much to accommodate.

The media has crowned this year's summer vacation as the strongest summer vacation in history.

Although the number of blockbusters has not increased significantly, it does seem that the quality has improved a lot.

There is no such thing as a small-budget "big movie" produced by a bunch of stars, and there is no comedy blockbuster that occupies a high proportion of the Chinese film market.

At first glance, they are basically industrial movies, at least judging from the production information and trailers, they seem to be quite hardcore, and all of them are elite soldiers.

In addition, for the first time in many years, Hollywood blockbusters have entered the summer file, which has also made the already hot movie market even more frenzied. Movie fans lamented that this summer can be a feast for the eyes.

It's a pity that the Hollywood movie "The Werewolf", which was released just before the summer holidays, didn't explode the film market. The media and audience were disappointed, so they focused their attention on the second contestant.

And "Spike II" did not live up to the audience's expectations.

As the second military action blockbuster of DreamWorks after "The Mekong River", together with Wu Jing and other creators' hard-working national roadshows, although his own reputation accumulation and expectations are not enough, the golden signboard produced by DreamWorks makes up for it. The filming is still worthy of the weight of the movie itself.

On the first day, 31% of the filming was scored, and 40% of the filming was won in the golden session.

The box office on the first day was 1.2 million, accounting for 47% of the box office. It also nailed the final nail in the already half-dead "Werewolf". Although the film produced by Universal Pictures has a much better reputation than "The New Mummy", it seems that domestic audiences There is no sentiment and interest in the IP of "Dark Universe", and it has become a box office dud.

As an ally, DreamWorks has done their best to set the time difference between "Spike II" and "Wolfman" by more than half a month, and Universal has nothing to complain about.

The box office of "Spike II" can only be said to be quite satisfactory. After all, "Werewolf" has been released for half a month and there is no threat. 1.2 million is worthy of the film schedule.

But its bursting word-of-mouth has really heated up the movie market this summer.

["Spike II" is completely an upgraded version of "Operation Mekong"!I didn't lie to you, if you think "Mekong River" is enjoyable, believe me, "Spike II" will definitely make you high! 】

[If a movie has one or two wonderful shots, and the rest of it works normally, it can be called a masterpiece; then "Spike II", which has wonderful shots from beginning to end, is a masterpiece among the best. 】

[Don't be fooled by "Spike Fang", I and II are really two completely different movies]

[Military fans are satisfied. 054 is so handsome in the photo. I have never seen such a handsome warship. It refreshes my impression. Yes, the CCTV photographer is definitely from the war, and the individual combat equipment, Proper American imperial style, not enough is that the back is a bit heavy, but it is really cool when it is counter-killing]

【"Spike II" tells us how lucky it is to live in a peaceful country】

[The battle scene is so handsome, it is indeed better than "The Mekong River", and the scene is even bigger. At first I played with my mobile phone, and I was surprised when the Spike Special Forces airborne. It was shocking, and there was no pee point at all after that, but these two are not comparable, "The Mekong" is the armed police after all, and this movie is the special forces]

[I watched "Spike Fang" back then, but I thought it was very exciting and refreshing, but I dug it out and watched it a few days ago, um, I really found it a bit petty, maybe "Source Code" and "Mekong River" These movies have raised my appreciation threshold.

Although "Spike II" invested 4 million yuan, and it is said that it was filmed in Africa, but because of the inherent impression of "Spike Fang", I really did not expect the film to reach this level. action movie, this one will directly become a military war blockbuster] My God]

Not only the audience, movie fans and many film critics gave the film extremely high praise, even the official media immediately published an article giving "Spike II" "the promotion of patriotism and the display of masculinity", "Hua Guojun The unyielding people have long surpassed Western individual heroism" praise.

Mainstream feedback unanimously evaluated "Spike II" as surpassing "Operation Mekong" in all aspects. It is a very enjoyable military action movie. "Tooth II" increased the film schedule, which also made the film crews very nervous about the films to be released in the future.

Especially "Wukong Biography".

This Journey to the West movie, which claims to be a trilogy, is highly anticipated by Tianrun Films. The IP of Journey to the West has become more and more popular in recent years. This year's Spring Festival, there are two Journey to the West movies that are addictive.

"The Return of the Great Sage" is an unprecedented box office of 15.8 billion as an animated film, becoming the biggest dark horse in the Spring Festival.

Although this film is indeed the pinnacle of domestic animation films in terms of quality, and it is also a first-class work in the world, but even Chen Jingxing himself cannot deny that the Westward Journey IP has definitely contributed to the nearly 16 billion box office.

With these precedents, "The Legend of Wukong" was greatly favored by the market, and Tianrun Pictures even shouted the slogan of making a trilogy, creating a classic masterpiece, comparable to "A Chinese Journey to the West".

But all of this must be based on the first film’s good box office results. In China, it is said that there will be a trilogy, and there are many series of film IPs. part?

After the scandal of box office fraud broke out, there was no news about "Fantasy City".

The premiere box office of "Spike II" did not move Tianrun, but the sudden outbreak of word-of-mouth that exceeded expectations made Tianrun feel a little bad.

"The Mekong River" is already a first-class military action film in the eyes of Tianrun executives. Although Tianrun executives hope that "Spike II" will be a thunderstorm, they are also mentally prepared for another "Mekong River".

"The Mekong" just caught up with the good time for the Spring Festival, and it's just a good foil to its peers. Otherwise, how could it get the box office of 25 billion.

In the summer of blockbuster chaos, "Wukong Biography", the only domestic film with non-military themes, not only has the advantage of IP feelings, but also has the advantage of dislocation competition.

But what does it mean to surpass "Operation Mekong" in all aspects?
There is such a movie?
And soon the box office results told them what it means to surpass "The Mekong River" in all directions.

Because of the bursting word-of-mouth on the first day, many viewers wanted to see how this military blockbuster with the theme of special forces and evacuation is better than "The Mekong".

On the next Saturday, "Spike II" reported a revenue of 2.93 million.

On Sunday, it closed at 3.61 million.

It broke the domestic single-day box office record of 3.52 million created by "Gravity".

Now not only the industry was stunned, but even the media and netizens were overwhelmed.

What does this box office mean?

It means that "Spike II" already has the ability to challenge the domestic box office record of 34 billion created by "Gravity".

Although most people think that the box office record of "Gravity" will be broken sooner or later, before this year's Spring Festival, there are many media speculations about who can create again "Journey to the West", "Tang Detective II" or "Kung Fu Yoga" For the record, everyone's expectations were not fulfilled.

However, after a year, the baton was passed to DreamWorks.

But the premise of all this is that there are no movies in the summer file that can stop the pace of "Spike II".

The pressure came to "Wukong Biography".

And can "Wukong Biography" and "Iron Heart" stop the pace of "Spike II"?
Obviously, the audience wants to see a battle of the gods, a good movie for hegemony.

But to the great disappointment of the audience and the media, those expectations were dashed.

"Wukong Biography", which bears the IP of Journey to the West, and "Heart of Steel", the first solo film of the second-generation female Iron Man, are just two larger stones, which will soon be submerged in the torrent caused by "Spike II" .

One billion in four days.

It broke 20 billion in eleven days.

The impact of the two blockbuster films seemed to be just two waves rushing aggressively but hitting the rocks head-on.

"The Legend of Wukong" even reached the achievement of a bad movie just one day after its premiere, causing many long-awaited viewers to complain wildly on the Internet.

Especially compared with "The Return of the Great Sage" at the beginning of the year, "Wukong Biography", as a live-action movie that claims to be comparable to "A Chinese Journey to the West", made the audience's disappointment irresistible.

"Heart of Iron" is a crime other than war. As the first solo movie of the second generation of Iron Man, although there are already TV dramas for the foreshadowing, the image of the female hero does limit the box office. The reason for the summer vacation.

I happened to meet "Spike II" again, and it was "Spike II" that was almost invincible after crushing "The Legend of Wukong".

"Spike II" has already created a movie-watching frenzy.

This well-behaved super-British movie can only end sadly.

At the same time, the topic of "whether the domestic fever of manga movies has subsided" has once again aroused heated discussions.

After all, in the past few years, the box office records of film history have been set time and time again by domestic films, and mainly films produced by DreamWorks.

But all of this has been submerged in the triumphant progress of "Spike II".
