Chapter 1104 "Charlotte Annoyance" released (7000 words)
After the premiere of "Charlotte Annoyance", it received unanimous praise from film critics and fans.

On Douban.com, a total of 88 certified film critics gave "Charlotte Annoyance" a comprehensive score of 8.0, which is undoubtedly a super high score, especially for domestic comedies.

The 300 lucky viewers who were invited to the premiere all participated in scoring, and gave an average score of 8.8, which is better than 92% of comedy movies on Douban.com.

The Douban.com comment area of ​​"Charlotte Annoyance" is also full of praises from fans, "intensive burden", "stomach ache from laughing", "best domestic comedy I have ever seen", "five-star recommendation", "this year's The best domestic movie"...

These provocative words make fans and audiences who haven't seen the movie scratch their heads and can't wait!

Days and years are waiting for December 12, when "Charlotte Annoyance" will be officially released in China.

……

While "Charlotte Annoyance" is about to be officially released, the second part of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy series "The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug" officially landed in major theaters in Europe and America.

North American weekend box office list (2014.12.19-2014.12.21):
No. 1, "The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug", with a weekend box office of 7367 million US dollars, MGM, with a cumulative box office of 7367 million US dollars, a scale of 3903 theaters, and a production cost of 2.25 million US dollars;
No. 2, "Night at the Museum 3", with a weekend box office of 1730 million US dollars, 20th Century Fox, with a cumulative box office of 1730 million US dollars, a scale of 3785 theaters, and a production cost of 1.27 million US dollars;
No. 3, "Annie", with a weekend box office of US$1630 million, Sony, with a cumulative box office of US$1630 million, a scale of 3116 theaters, and a production cost of US$6500 million;
……

This week's North American box office champion is the magical blockbuster "The Hobbit 2014: The Desolation of Smaug", known as the last box office climax of 2.

Facing Tolkien's magical classics, Liangtianchi Pictures has opened a release scale of 3903 theaters for this film. Although there are more than 100 theaters fewer than the previous "Unexpected Journey", it is still It's enough to save face.

In the end, "The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug" handed in the answer sheet with an opening score of US$18877 million for a single hall and a total income of US$7367 million for three days on weekends.

Although this result is far from "poor" for the entire "Lord of the Rings" series, the industry still cannot hide its disappointment.

Looking back at the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Fellowship of the Ring" opened at $4721 million, "The Two Towers" debuted at $6200 million, and "The Return of the King" debuted at $7262 million. The performance of "Smaug's War" has surpassed above the predecessors.

Now that I think about it, it was not "rare" to start a drawing at the level of 7000 million yuan at that time, but the "Lord of the Rings" series, which is the most expensive first-line series, has always maintained the first week level of 8000 million to [-] million.

In 2013, "An Unexpected Journey" set a record in the series with a debut of 8461 million US dollars, but it was still just a "little brother" in the face of "The Hunger Games 2", "Iron Man 3", and "Frozen Adventure" in the same year.

The reason is that "The Lord of the Rings" has the same "historical connotation" as the "Harry Potter" series. Except for the final part of the "Wizard of Glasses" who sprinted due to the "finale effect", the previous six films, regardless of box office Neither the first week nor the cumulative final value fluctuated much.

Maintaining such an astonishing uniformity for 10 years, in the final analysis, the popularity of the original work has shaped a stable Fanbase from the first part, and this group has grown together with this series until the end, becoming a rock-solid contribution to the box office!

The same is true of the "Lord of the Rings" series. Starting from "The Fellowship of the Ring", although the main trilogy only had less than 7000 million in the first week, they all made the total box office run over 3 million!
Even "An Unexpected Journey", which was questioned due to the sharp drop in the next week, finally ended with 3.03 million US dollars, and all of this is thanks to the solid fan base of "Lord of the Rings".

At the same time, he turned his attention away from the "Lord of the Rings" series and looked at the history of North American film. The opening score of "The Battle of Smaug" was 7367 million US dollars, which also ranked third in the list of opening pictures in North American film history in December.

The top two are the predecessors "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" (2 million) and "Avatar" (8461 million).

At the same time, it ranked 2014th in the 5 opening painting list.

There is no need to worry about the box office prospects of "The Desolation of Smaug", but it is still an indisputable fact that the first week fell by 13% compared with the previous work, and this has to discuss the historical reasons of the "prequel trilogy"!

There have been many signs that Tolkien's sons, who now hold the title to Tolkien's books, are not happy with Peter Jackson's adaptation.

After the main story trilogy took the box office and the statuettes all over the basin, Jackson expressed his desire to adapt the prequels "The Hobbit" and "The Silmarillion" many times.

But he also shook his head many times and said, "I'm afraid they (the Tolkien Estate Management Committee) are not willing to let me shoot", and the focus of the two parties' hedging can be said at a glance.

In the 9 years after the curtain call of the main trilogy, the voices of readers and fans of the original book have also increased day by day. There have been rumors that the Tolkien Estate Management Committee has received a large number of letters from readers and fans requesting the adaptation of the prequel.

Under the temptation of the surge of Hollywood sequels and prequels and the temptation of huge commercial interests, the prequel trilogy started filming after several twists and turns.

Therefore, "An Unexpected Journey" will undoubtedly have stronger attention when it debuts, and it is naturally expected that it will set the highest opening in the series in one fell swoop, and it will naturally return to the normal level of 7000 million when "The Battle of Smaug" is released.

Secondly, compared to "An Unexpected Journey", "The Desolation of Smaug" has to face stronger competitors at this time, and the schedule of the ring feeding of powerful enemies poses a stronger box office challenge.

Third, according to the capacity of Tolkien's original work, the three novels of The Lord of the Rings were adapted into three films respectively, but "The Hobbit", which only had one, was also split into three parts, which will inevitably cause some plot gaps.

The original elf characters and plot in "The Desolation of Smaug" are probably proof, and "originality" will always be a challenge for fans of the original book...

Due to the extremely strong competitors, the expectation for "The Desolation of Smaug" is still conservatively estimated. At this stage, the target is 2.5 to 2.8 million, and it has the strength to break through 3 million US dollars.

"The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug" has a comprehensive media rating of 66 points, with 74% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, 121 people voted for Fresh Tomatoes, and 42 people scored Rotten Tomatoes.

Represented by the full score of "Empire" magazine, the positive reviews of the second part of the "Hobbit" series have become the mainstream.

"Middle-earth is once again full of thrilling vitality and charm under Jackson's leadership. The progress on the basis of "An Unexpected Journey" is obvious. The whole film uses unparalleled visual spectacle to guide us into the unfathomable unknown journey. !"

""Master" Freeman successfully created the Bilbo in the original novel and turned the entire film into his show!"

"'Smaug' is different, it's a good film, and what makes it even better than its predecessor is that it gives each character a noisier but more real life!"

"Those stupid fantasy, entertainment, and adventure blockbusters this year are completely incomparable. This film not only contributes the most outstanding "dragon" shape in film history, but other special effects are also miraculous!"

"I'm not constrained by the positioning of the original "children's literature". Although there are a lot of action scenes, it still maintains a healthy and harmless appearance!"

"A hearty and entertaining blockbuster, a delightful fairy tale fable!"

……

Although the box office of "The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug" was lower than that of the first film, it still maintained the series' opening score of 7000 million.

And judging from North American film critics, it is still mostly well received.

Comparing the first film horizontally, it may be difficult for "The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug" to break through 3 million at the North American box office, and it is also difficult to reach the $10 billion global box office.

However, the popularity of this series is still there, and fans are still all over the world, so even if the global box office does not reach 10 billion, it is already at the level of 9 million US dollars.

After MGM's "007: Skyfall" and "An Unexpected Journey" broke 10 billion box office, "The Hobbit 2" won another 9 million box office worldwide, which is undoubtedly the icing on the cake for MGM's revival.

……

While "The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug" swept the North American box office market, "Charlotte Annoyance" was also officially released in major theaters in mainland China.

Chen Hao's new film, as well as the unanimous praise after the premiere, especially the word-of-mouth box office defeat of "One Step Away", coupled with the expectations of the industry and movie fans for the year's championship, made "Charlotte Annoyed" The heat and expectations immediately exploded.

It can be seen from the pre-sale box office of the film that "Charlotte Annoyance" started online pre-sale on Taobao.com, Maoyaner and other websites on December 12. As of December 1, the film was officially released. Reached 12 million RMB!

This pre-sale box office has once again set a record for the pre-sale box office in mainland movie history!
Previously, "One Step Away" claimed that the pre-sale box office was as high as 3 million yuan, but the actual pre-sale box office score was 2.1 million yuan. Obviously, the producer made a rounding.

"Charlotte Annoyance" has created a new box office record in mainland film history before it was released.

In addition, the film schedule of the theater can also show that the theater is optimistic about "Charlotte Annoyance".

On December 12, when "Charlotte Annoyance" was released, major theaters gave "Charlotte Annoyance" a comprehensive 18% of the film schedule.

This lineup is less than 66% of "One Step Away", but it exceeds 4% of "Transformers 54.2".

Don't look at the film schedule that is nearly 11% behind "One Step Away", but after all, "One Step Away" has only been released in its second week, so it is impossible for "One Step Away" to drop below 2%.

Anyway, "One Step Away" also had a box office of 3.32 million in the first week, and it was only the second week, so it would definitely be able to reap a wave of box office.

As a result, films such as "The Year in a Hurry", "My Early Girlfriend", and "The Wheel of Peace" can only be divided into the remaining 12% of the film schedule.

In addition to 55.5% of the first-day screenings, the major theaters also leaned towards "Charlotte Annoyance" in the golden screenings, and the golden screenings reached 60%.

This score is still not as good as the 71.32% of "One Step Away", but it is high enough.

After all, two blockbuster films are in adjacent schedules, so it is impossible for one family to completely dominate.

……

"Hello everyone, we are the crew of "Charlotte Annoyance"." Chen Hao said with a smile, "I am Chen Hao, the director of the film."

"I'm Xiaohu, the star of "Charlotte Annoyance"!"

"I am Shen Pain, the star of "Charlotte Annoyance"."

"I'm Mary."

……

"Ah...Chen Hao is so handsome!"

"The little fox is the most beautiful!"

……

Obviously, Chen Hao and Xiaohu are the most well-known crew members of "Charlotte Annoyance". Although Shen Tong and Mary have attended the Spring Festival Gala and their popularity has skyrocketed in the past six months, they are still complete newcomers in the film industry.

If it weren't for their starring role in "Charlotte Annoyance", it is estimated that their popularity would be even lower.

"First of all, thank you for choosing to watch "Charlotte Annoyance"." Chen Hao smiled, "The so-called heroes see the same thing, and your choices will definitely make your trip tonight worthwhile.

Now if you have anything you want to know, or any request, you can mention it, and we will definitely satisfy you. "

"Chen Hao, I want to marry you, I want to be the wife of the richest man!"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone was stunned by the girl's request when they heard the words, and burst into laughter.

"Promise her, promise her..."

A group of audience booed.

Xiaohu, Shen Tong, Mary and other main creators also looked at Chen Hao gloatingly, to see how he would answer.

Chen Hao said with a smile, "I originally thought that you liked me because of my looks, then my talents, and finally my character, but I didn't expect you to like my body.

I regard you as my brother and sister, but you want to sleep with me? "

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed instantly when they heard the words, and the girl who shouted just now also looked shy.

"Xiaohu, as the goddess of the whole people, what kind of boy do you like?"

A boy asked boldly, and the other movie fans were also gossiping when they heard the words!
Xiaohu looked at Chen Hao with a smile after hearing this, and said, "Tall and handsome, talented, and good character!"

"Aren't you talking about Chen Hao beside you!"

Suddenly someone yelled, and everyone booed again when they heard the words, "Oh...hahaha..."

Xiaohu glanced at Chen Hao who was just smiling and said, "Don't scare our Director Chen, he is a strict wife, be careful to let Yaya know, go back and let him kneel down on the durian!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Hao nudged Xiaohu, "I'm not afraid of her, but I love her and respect her."

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Chen Hao's stern expression, everyone couldn't help laughing.

……

After laughing for a while, "Charlotte's Annoyance" was officially screened, and Chen Hao and Xiaohu also sneaked away.

After getting in the car, the four of them rushed to the next cinema.

Chen Hao looked at Shen Pain and Mary's tired face and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

"A little tired." Shen Tong shook his head and said, "This is really physical work."

"Not only tired, but my face is going to be stiff from laughing." Mary rubbed her face and said.

"Brother Pain, Sister Mary, where are you going? There are still more than a dozen cities to run to!" Xiaohu said with a smile.

"That's right." Chen Hao nodded and said, "But after running a few more times in the future, you should get used to it! Now hurry up and rest!"

The running field didn't end until 10:[-] at night. After returning to the Daping floor, Chen Hao fell directly on the big bed.

After a while, the little fox climbed onto Chen Hao's body and kissed Chen Hao.

"Aren't you coming? Are you not tired?" Chen Hao asked with his arms around the little fox's waist.

"Tired!" said the little fox, "but we must hurry up and strive to succeed in creating humans as soon as possible."

Looking at the persistent little fox, Chen Hao naturally wouldn't avoid the fight.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Hao woke up and looked at the little fox who was still sleeping soundly. He couldn't help kissing the beauty's pretty face, but he didn't want the little fox to be awakened directly.

Looking at the handsome face close at hand, Xiaohu directly put his arms around Chen Hao's neck, pulled Chen Hao and threw him on his body, and then gave him a good morning kiss.

"By the way, has the first-day box office of "Charlotte Annoyance" come out?" Little Fox suddenly pushed Chen Hao away.

She is full of expectations for "Charlotte Annoyance". Before that, "Charlotte Annoyance" could surpass "Inception", but after "Transformers 4" swept the mainland movie scene.

Xiaohu's box office expectation for "Charlotte Annoyance" has been adjusted to 20 billion.

In Xiaohu's mind, "Transformers 4" can get a box office of 19 billion, so his boyfriend's new movie should not be a big problem.

After all, there are many Hollywood blockbusters that were defeated by Chen Hao.

Thinking that she wants to become the top box office heroine in mainland film history, Xiaohu is naturally very concerned about the box office of "Charlotte Annoyance".

After hearing this, Chen Hao picked up his mobile phone and said, "Let me take a look."

"How is it?" Xiaohu asked quickly, staring closely at Chen Hao who was looking at the phone.

"Look for yourself!" Chen Hao smiled and handed the phone to Xiaohu.

When Xiaohu saw it, he knew that the box office should be good, so he took it excitedly and took a closer look!
"Charlotte Annoyance" has a box office of 2100 million yuan at the zero-point show, and 1.78 million yuan at the box office on the first day (including the zero-point show)!

"Ah... ah..." Xiaohu screamed immediately after seeing it, "It's great, it's great, hahaha... Ritian!"

Xiaohu found Chen Hao who was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, and excitedly jumped onto Chen Hao's back, swaying from side to side, venting his excitement.

Chen Hao was so shaken that he couldn't brush his teeth, so he had to wait for the little fox to stop before saying, "Okay, okay, if you know it... um..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Hao was gagged by the excited little fox.

Three minutes later, Xiaohu jumped down excitedly, then ran to the notebook, opened the notebook and began to look for media reports on "Charlotte's Annoyance"!

""Charlotte Annoyance" breaks the box office record of "Transformers 4" zero point!"--Sohu Entertainment Report
"Charlotte Annoyance breaks the first-day box office record in mainland film history!" --- Netease Entertainment
"Charlotte Annoyance" created 4 new box office records on the first day!" --- New Wolf Entertainment
……

"Charlotte Annoyance" created a pre-sale box office record of 2.5 million yuan in mainland film history before it was released.

Now after the first day of release, "Charlotte Annoyance" broke 4 box office records again!
First, the domestic box office record of 2100 million yuan in the history of mainland movies, thrillingly surpassed the 2080 million box office of "Transformers 4", and this record was once again included in the domestic film.

Second, the box office record on the premiere day in the mainland film history is 1.78 million yuan. The previous record holder was "Transformers 1.74" with 4 million yuan, and now it is regained by Chen Hao.

Third, the mainland film history is the fastest to break the 4 million box office record. "Charlotte Annoyance" and "Transformers 1" both took one day, but according to the time, "Charlotte Annoyance" is a little faster.

Fourth, the single-day box office record of a domestic film. The previous record holder was "Journey to the West: Conquering the Devil" with 1.25 million yuan in a single day. Now "Charlotte's Annoyance" has increased it by 5300 million yuan.

After the box office of "Charlotte Annoyance" came out on the first day, it triggered a carnival from all the media.

Right after it was released, it broke 4 box office records in film history and 1 box office record for domestic films. It can only be said that it is truly worthy of being the number one commercial director in the Mainland, and its box office appeal is really amazing.

Compared with Chen Hao, other directors are simply not at the same level.

The theaters are the happiest. Seeing that the box office of "Charlotte Annoyance" is so violent, they will naturally make a lot of money, so they once again increased the schedule of "Charlotte Annoyance".

The industry and movie fans are also very happy, because the box office of "Charlotte Annoyance" on the first day let everyone see the possibility of killing "Transformers 4" and regaining the box office record in mainland movie history.

Of course, we still have to see how the word-of-mouth of "Charlotte Annoyance" is. If it collapses, it may be weak in succession and unable to hit the 20 billion box office target.

As for the crew of "Charlotte Annoyance", after learning the box office on the first day, everyone except Chen Hao performed no better than Xiaohu.

Especially Shen Pain and Mary, as the hero and heroine, they probably know what this means to them.

Since then, they have officially opened the road to the film industry. From a drama actor to a veritable film actor, both their popularity and popularity will skyrocket.

And this also means that they are about to gain both fame and fortune.

For this reason, they didn't feel tired, but they were full of energy. They hurriedly went to the running field to promote, wishing to run all the cities in China.

Four days passed quickly, and "Charlotte Annoyance" also ended its first week of journey.

"Charlotte is witty!

It doesn't rely on big productions to win, and it doesn't rely on bad memes to win favor, but uses humorous lines and unexpected exaggerated plots to support half the sky of the Lunar New Year file.

It is also a comedy film adapted from a stage play. Compared with it, "The Breakup Master" is simply a super disaster film.

Looking at the film "Charlotte's Annoyance", it has similarities with the Tang Dynasty legendary novel "The Pillow Story", and reveals the style of Latin American magic realism. It uses dreams to describe life, and uses illusion to describe reality, shuttling between reality and virtuality. , a flashy scene, and finally wake up from the dream.

The two ultimate choices, Ma Dongmei and Qiuya, represent real life and distant dreams, just like the white roses and red roses in Eileen Chang's works.

After marrying a red rose, over time, the red one becomes a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, and the white one is still "the moonlight before the bed"; when you marry a white rose, the white one is a grain of rice sticky on your clothes, the red one. But it was a cinnabar mole on his heart.

Gains and losses are the norm, what you can't get may not be the best, what you get must be the most suitable.

At this moment, the present life is the reality that is within reach. Living in the present and cherishing the people in front of you is the most ordinary path that should be adhered to.

Calculated on a [-]-point basis, "Charlotte's Annoyance" is [-]% funny and very touching. It can be called a rare Chinese masterpiece in ten years. I hope Chinese filmmakers will continue to work hard to create more word-of-mouth and box-office successes. Excellent work! "

Mountain Ghost, Douban Special Film Critic

"If comedy is only satisfied with being simple and funny, most audiences probably won't buy it, just like "Charlotte Annoyance" tells about time travel, but obviously the audience will not be satisfied with such superficial cleverness.

In fact, the ambition of "Charlotte Annoyance" is not small. Under the comedy, the universal values ​​of comprehending life and finding true love that can easily move people's hearts are the hidden secrets. Often the stories with tears in laughter are the most touching.

Loser Charlotte, who was originally looked down upon by everyone, wanted to earn face, but when he got the face he expected, he pursued his beloved girl, made his disappointed mother smile again, and even became an all-powerful pop singer. superstar.

But I find that everything is just an illusion, and the one who is really worth protecting is the person who gives wholeheartedly and does not expect anything in return.

After going through the vicissitudes of life, finding the original heart, and settling down on warmth after hilarious laughter, this kind of "Charlotte Annoyance" is worth going to the theater twice and thrice. "

dreamtime, film critic

""Charlotte Annoyance" has indeed amazed many people. When I walked into the movie theater, I found out that the protagonist's name is Charlotte.

The Happy Twist team is an old man in the drama and sketch world, but a newcomer in the film circle, but with Chen Hao around, everything becomes easy.

The plot of this movie is indeed very simple, but the plot setting is very careful, the laughter is also very dense, the emotion is in place, and it is very warm.

Youth is a dream that cannot be returned, and "Charlotte Annoyance" is a spring dream that Chen Hao brings to everyone that is worth reminiscing! "

Sohu Entertainment Report
……

After the first week of "Charlotte Annoyance" was released, there were more and more reviews about the film.

To everyone's surprise but also as expected, the overwhelming majority of the film's praise, most people think that Chen Hao has brought everyone a masterpiece of comedy.

The main reason is that the previous "One Step Away" scared everyone. After all, the previous "Let the Bullets Fly" was so amazing that everyone had too much expectations for "One Step Away". The bigger the disappointment, the bigger the disappointment.

Fortunately, Chen Hao still maintained his high standard and did not disappoint the fans.

After the first week, the critics' rating of "Charlotte Annoyance" on Douban dropped to 7.9 points, while the audience's rating was still as high as 8.6 points, which is better than 90% of comedy movies.

Douban's score is enough to see that both film critics and audiences approve of this "Charlotte Annoyance".

With a good reputation, everyone is looking forward to the box office of "Charlotte Annoyance" in the first week, looking forward to "Charlotte Annoyance" being able to overturn "Transformers 4" and win glory for domestic films.

At the same time, the entire crew of "Charlotte's Annoyance" has come to Shanghai for publicity.

As the new week approached, Xiaohu resisted his exhaustion and patted Chen Hao next to him, "Has the first week's box office come out?"

"Let me take a look." Chen Hao picked up the phone and said, "Well, it's out."

Xiaohu was refreshed when he heard the words, "How much?"

　Thanks for the 100 tip from "Dream Time"!
