China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 99
《单身动物园》的势力很猛，继7月17日周六的1681万的票房之后，在7月18日的周天收获了1795万的票房。

The box office of "Single Zoo" reached 4126 million in the first three days. Tsk, what is this concept?Two-thirds of the movies that went to theaters throughout the year failed to reach 4126 million in total box office.

But now it took only two days and four hours to complete a literary film, that's right, two days and four hours.

"[Single Zoo] box office hits a new high, is the spring of literary films coming? "

"What ability does He Fang have?Low-cost commercial films exploded, literary films exploded again"

"Is it because the competition of Hollywood movies is too strong, or is the quality of our movies weak?Why is it possible to be successful? "

"A Literary Film Won 52 Million Box Office in 4126 Hours"

"What is the secret of He Fang's success?" "

Can film industrialization also produce good award-winning films? "

"Director Feng Xiaogang may be a prophecy: [Single Zoo] becomes the biggest opponent"

……

"I have watched it twice, and the more I watch it, the more I feel that this is a good movie worthy of repeated scrutiny."

"I want to pour cold water on the world setting of 'single sin' and the rebels who 'do not allow love'. If you break the rules on both sides, you will be turned into animals or tortured. Such a setting itself has attracted attention. Plus deliberately The out-of-touch with the real society and the dramatic exaggerated performance of the characters produce a kind of eccentric dry humor; but this is what makes the movie more like a gimmick than depth.”

"Upstairs, how deep is it? Do you want to pass the trial? Can you go out and win an award? Do you want to make an underground movie?"

"Just 10 minutes into the movie Lobster, I couldn't help pinching my legs and sighing in front of the screen again: the spiritual core of dystopia and the formal shell of black comedy are really a match made in heaven."

"This is a film about the absurd nature of married couples and utopia."

"After rewatching this movie twice, from the beginning to the end, and watching the subtitles, the ending is like this: 1. The single leader did not blind the heroine, 2. The hero loves the heroine, 3. .The hero turned into a lobster in the end. Let me analyze it..."

"Everyone said they understood the film and marveled at how good it is. Why didn't I see what was so good about it? And I didn't think it was so profound..."

……

The box office of "Single Zoo" is very good, which not only excites the media and the audience, but also excites the domestic filmmakers. Firstly, if a literary film is made well, it will also have a box office. Second, the domestic film market is growing , and increased significantly.

Don't go too far, let's say that last year in 2009, the daily box office of the key films in the summer season was only in the early 1000 million, but this year's key films are approaching 2000 million.

The market is strengthening, and the film market is developing rapidly.

Those who are interested have checked the data. In 2009, there were 142 new theaters in my country, and 626 new screens, with an average increase of 1.7 screens per day. From 2010 to June, there were 6 new theaters, and the number of new screens was 166. 785 new screens are added every day, and the total number of screens in theaters across the country has exceeded 4.2. The national movie box office revenue in the first half of the year increased by 5600% year-on-year based on the 2009% increase in movie box office in 42.96.

……

"According to this momentum, "Single Zoo" can not only exceed [-] million, but also go higher. He Fang's prediction is true, and our box office is growing very rapidly. Literary films can make money, which shows that the film market has a strong appetite for high-quality films. There will be more demand. We need to speed up the construction of Huying Film and Television City, at least to speed up the construction of the underwater photography studio and the science fiction pavilion, so as not to delay the filming of "Pacific Rim."

At this time, Gu Yang, who had just returned to Changsha for two days, said so at the Huying Group meeting on Monday.

"Secretary Gu, He Fang told us to buy more properties with good locations to build movie theaters. I think our expansion speed is still too slow."

"This is really urgent. This year's "Opinions on Promoting the Deepening Reform and Accelerating the Development of State-owned Cinema Chains" has just been released. It is estimated that many theater chains will increase investment, and we should also increase investment in theater chains. However, Do what you can, do what you plan..."

Everyone in the entire film market is excited and gearing up.

He Fang is in Shanghai now, panicking!
Because they were surrounded by fans at the airport, it didn't seem to help.

So enthusiastic.

He Fang has never known that moviegoers in Shanghai love literary films so much, and their culture is more keen on criticism?Or excavate human nature?
Where is unknown, maybe the Shanghai Film Festival has really cultivated Shanghai movie fans after so many years?It's a pity, even if you learn art, the Shanghai Film Festival will never succeed.

Unless two points.

One is that China has lifted restrictions on the broadcasting of all literary and artistic films, which means that the literary and artistic films that you can see in Cannes can also be seen in Shanghai, and they can also win awards.

Second, the center of the world has shifted to China, Chinese culture has become the center of the world again, and the whole world is proud to be recognized by Chinese culture.

Without these two points, the Shanghai Film Festival will never have a bright future.

After half an hour of hard work by the airport staff, the crew of "Single Zoo" finally got out of the siege.

"Oh, Director He, welcome to Shanghai, let's go, let's get in the car." Shen Yue from Shanghai United Cinemas received them very enthusiastically.

Along the way, she kept chattering and asking questions. Obviously, she was also a movie fan.

"Ha, I didn't expect Mr. Shen to like it so much, thank you for your support." He Fang was very surprised.

"Support is a must. Not only do I like it, but many people in our unit like it."

……

Shanghai Lian and Wu Hehu are one of the Three Musketeers released in China. They are very enthusiastic, and they insist on having a meal with He Fang and the others at noon.

Some people don't understand the relationship between theater chains and film producers. In fact, we can briefly explain it here.

Theaters run stores, and they need a large number of high-quality and good products to sell in stores, so as to attract customers and make money.

And the film side is to produce the product.

According to common sense, those who produce products will generally ask stores to sell their products, so most of the time, theaters are on the relatively strong side, so their share of the box office is relatively high.

However, the theater chain is not always strong, because they will also go to the time when they have a good relationship with the film studios.

What kind of film is worthy of careful care by the theaters?Of course, it is a big production company, a big director, and a big star. The film products of these people are already bestsellers.

If the theater chain doesn't have a harmonious relationship with them, what should you do if they don't let your theater chain go?All the theaters around you are showing this movie, but there is no one in your theater, and the customers will leave in droves.

Therefore, when some big crews, big directors, and big stars come to promote, the bosses of the local theaters will generally warmly entertain them.

……

There is not much publicity here in Shanghai, apart from going to two theater roadshows, I just accept interviews from TV stations.

Of course, there was also a small talk between Director Mu of Dongfang TV and He Fang, just to ask He Fang if there are any excellent variety shows that he can cooperate with.

He Fang thought, didn't Dongfang TV introduce "Talent Show"?This program is quite popular in the country.

"Director Mu, didn't I hear that you guys finished talking about "Talent Show"? This variety show is okay, at least it can make Dongfang TV rank high among the TV stations in the country."

"Really? But Dongfang TV is not only looking for the top, but the top three. Director He, we had an appointment for "The Voice", but you didn't come to talk, and you used us to overwhelm Zhejiang TV. How come this new program must end up on Oriental TV, right?"

Master Mu said.

"..." He Fang scratched his head in embarrassment, "That's really something wrong with me, Mr. Mu, what kind of program do you think you want? I'll think about it later."

"What? You can also customize it? Then give me a file that is the same as "The Voice." Master Mu waved his hand and said happily.

"Ah? The singing talent show will be too much to come on again, what about other competitions?" He Fang asked.

"Others? Is it more popular than "The Voice"?"

"Of course we can. "The Voice" is for producing singers. How about we have a program for producing comedians?" He Fang asked.

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Director He. You must not be cut off by others this time. We can relax the conditions a little bit." Director Mu said.

"Then you, Mr. Mu, have said this, which guarantees that our colleagues will be surprisingly motivated."

"Haha...Okay, but one condition is the same as that of Zhejiang TV, the production and recording must be in Shanghai."

"No problem, but, Mr. Mu, you have to keep it a secret for me, otherwise everyone will come to find me, and it's hard for me to think of better things."

……

It never occurred to He Fang to come to Shanghai to discuss the cooperation of a variety show.

In the evening, when he and Liu Yan were discussing the cave structure of the karst terrain, he asked Liu Yan if she wanted to host the show.

"Why do you ask me this? Do you think I'm not suitable to be an actor?" Liu Yan was a little unhappy.

"Of course not, it's just that if you want to take the path of being an actor, it will be more difficult than taking the path of being a host. If you put all your bets on actors, I'm afraid your rewards will not be proportional." He Fang explained.

"Hmph, you obviously don't like my acting skills. I have to blame you for my bad acting skills. I have discussed acting skills with you so many times. What do you think you have taught me?" Liu Yan said angrily.

"..." This girl is being unreasonable.

"Why, are you not convinced? The point is that you haven't taught me anything in acting, and now you still have to cut corners in sports?"

"Hey, your sister is so rich, you managed to stir up my anger..."

At the beginning of the water flow in the cave, there is a sound of mooring, and the red candles are dimmed, and the tents are dimmed, and then the water in the cave beats the waves, and the wind is rushing and the clouds are low.

The tide rises in the gust of wind and rain, and the skin is sweaty. The wind, rain and waves are always merciless.

……

In the next few days, although the box office of "Single Zoo" fell below 900 million yuan in a single day, it still maintained a daily momentum of [-] million yuan.

But there is also something that worries the crew, that is how much impact the release of "Tangshan Earthquake" on July 7 will have on "Single Zoo".

On July 7, they happened to be in Changsha. After finishing the road show, He Fang took people from Shining Star to hold a meeting overnight. It was exactly as promised to Director Mu of Dongfang TV that they wanted to plan a show.

He Fang presented the program "Happy Comedians", which is a program that can cultivate comedians for China.

Now there are too few outlets for comedians in China. In addition to folk theaters, there are only a few TV stations that have cross talk programs, which leaves little room for comedians.

Therefore, it is appropriate to introduce comedians at this time.

They have been meeting and discussing until after twelve o'clock in the evening. They have no choice but to make up for the time.

"Didi" After 12 o'clock, He Fang's mobile phone received the message.

The box office of the electricity company came out. The first-day box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" reached 3620 million, breaking the record of "Avatar"'s first-day box office of 3600 million.

Tsk, this data is interesting, just a breakthrough.

The box office of "Single Zoo" on the 22nd was 876 million, a small drop, but not a big drop.

The next day Feng Xiaogang said in an interview with the media: "After seeing the box office on the first day, I was finally relieved. I have been very nervous these days. After all, everyone's expectations are very high."

Whether "Single Zoo" can withstand the pressure of "Tangshan Earthquake" will depend on the performance of the last three days of this week.

After the crew of "Single Zoo" has finished running in Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Changsha, Chongqing, and Chengdu, the box office for the second week will also be released.

The box office details for the second week are as follows:
July 7 (Monday): 19 million

July 7 (Tuesday): 20 million

July 7 (Wednesday): 21 million

July 7 (Thursday): 22 million

July 7 (Friday): 23 million

July 7 (Saturday): 24 million

July 7 (Sunday): 25 million

The total box office in the second week was 7302 million, and the total box office was 9 million in 4 days and 11428 hours, officially breaking through [-] million.

"Nine Days and Four Hours Over [-] Million, The Best-Selling Literary Film in History"

"A New Era of Literary Films Comes"

"Who Said Literary Movies Won't Break Billion? "

"The end of this week [Single Zoo] ushered in a strong enemy [Tangshan Earthquake] and still held on to the gratifying box office"
