Chapter 954: Without the present, where would the future come from?

"As of 2:17 on February 22, the total box office of the 2021 Spring Festival has exceeded 78 billion yuan, with a total of 1.6 million moviegoers and 285.8 million screenings, setting a new record for the total box office and attendance of the Spring Festival in Chinese film history.

"Detective Chinatown 3" became the champion of the schedule, and the single-film box office champion and runner-up were "Detective Chinatown 3" with 35.5 billion and "Hello, Li Huanying" with 30.8 billion."

"."

The first Spring Festival period after the epidemic has come to an end. Not only did the audience return to the theaters, but they also showed a stronger enthusiasm for watching movies than in previous years, taking in more than 78 billion yuan in box office revenue, not only setting a new record for the Chinese film history period, but also helping the market break through the 100 billion mark.

The film market has experienced a complete recovery, with both ticket prices and moviegoers breaking records. Many cinemas that were on the verge of death at the beginning of the year have finally come back to life.

It seems that except for those losers of the Spring Festival, such as "Raging Fire" and "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity", and the audiences who felt sorry for their ticket money, almost everyone is a winner of this Spring Festival box office feast.

However, today's Spring Festival period has also begun to change itself.

Because there are so many players in this year's Spring Festival, there are only two real winners: "Detective Chinatown 3" and "Hello, Li Huanying".

The rest of the movies basically have no hope of making 1 billion.

In the past, the Spring Festival period was the biggest period in the film market every year. It was almost a consensus among film producers that they could reap the rewards by squeezing into the period.

However, the facts this year have proved that: there is plenty of food and drink during the Spring Festival, and the box office is sufficient, but the distribution is becoming increasingly unbalanced.

Movies like "Raging Fire" and "The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity" did not perform well at the box office.

You know, if "Raging Fire" and "The Order of the Samurai" are willing to go to any time slot after October, they may dominate the market.

Obviously, the last movie of the Spring Festival period has begun to be proven to be far inferior to the first movie of the smaller period.

"Fortunately, I listened to my senior's advice, otherwise "Assassination of Novelist" would have become a victim during the Spring Festival."

Lu Yang was somewhat relieved when he saw the final results of the Spring Festival period. It was not because he was not confident, but the preferences and interests of the audience during the Spring Festival period determined the success or failure of this period.

And the current box office forecasts given by Maoyan and Tao Piao Piao are 3 billion for Detective Chinatown 45 and 52 billion for Hello, Li Huanying.
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for other films to survive and they are all being sucked dry.

At this time, good news about "Assassination of Novelist" came from overseas.

For a while, the media, which may have been aesthetically fatigued with "Detective Chinatown 3" and "Hello, Li Huanying", were reporting the good news of "Assassination of Novelist" overseas.

“After the overseas release of ‘Assassination of Novelist’, the grand and magnificent scenes of the other world and the outstanding performances of the CG characters have refreshed the overseas audience’s understanding of the level of Chinese special effects!”

"Chinese Film Industry helped "Assassination of Novelist" to go global and break the circle, with overseas box office exceeding 500 million US dollars!"

"The oriental aesthetic works created by Mengying Media have allowed Chinese stories to go global. Currently, "Assassination of Novelist" is the largest Chinese-language film released in Oceania during the Spring Festival, with more than 70 theaters opening. The box office on the day ranked first among all films released in Australia and New Zealand during the same period."

The media generally publicizes the success of domestic films overseas, and also quotes a large number of comments from overseas netizens:
"I was in awe when I watched the movie. The visual effects are undoubtedly one of the best in China."

"China's film and visual industry can now compete with Hollywood!"

"Full of action and fighting scenes, I guarantee you've never seen a movie like it."

“The scenes in the second half of the movie are wonderful, with bright and colorful shots and full of creativity”

"."

Before Li Mu received the call from Li Ruigang, he had not expected that "Assassination of Novelist" would be so popular overseas.

"Director Li, Director Lu should be free, right? We think we should let Director Lu and the main creators do some promotion." "Lu Yang, he should be free, you guys can talk to him."

Li Mu was also happy for Lu Yang. After all, every director hopes that his work can be loved by the whole world.

The fact that "Assassination of Novelist" is loved by many overseas movie fans also proves that oriental aesthetics and magical stories still have a large market.

On the other hand, Wanda and Chen Sicheng began to feel depressed.

Because of the comment deletion incident a few days ago, influential big Vs finally started to speak out.

Well-known film critic Luo Beibei directly posted an article in which she complained about "Detective Chinatown 3" and was deleted after being complained about.

"Great! Please remember my lesson, don't make such mistakes again, and obey the law when posting on Weibo! Detective Chinatown 3 is the most awesome movie in the world, Chen Sicheng has surpassed Kubrick! If you don't agree, shut up!"

From the pictures posted by Luo Beibei, we can see that her article was complained by the publishing company for infringing on her reputation rights, and the article was eventually forcibly deleted by the platform.

Compared with the fact that "Detective Chinatown 3" believed that "opinions and suggestions" would help them grow and improve at the beginning of the film's release, the film crew's current approach can be said to be quite ironic.

However, it was this one voice that brought together some ordinary netizens who had the same experience and began to denounce the film crew for being shameless.

"Shit, I thought I was the only one here, but so many people have been deleted."

"Wanda and Chen Sicheng are awesome! They are so shameless in order to maintain their reputation and box office."

"It has been years since we have seen a film company suing a negative reviewer. Chen Sicheng's attitude towards public opinion is as backward as his gender views."

"."

For a while, all kinds of complaints were heard.

After all, buying tickets to watch movies is everyone's right, and expressing one's thoughts after watching the movie is also everyone's freedom. Everyone's feelings are different, some think it is good, some think it is bad, and everyone expresses their own feelings.

And just recently the ZFW mentioned that "the biggest negative review is the one that cannot tolerate negative reviews." Unexpectedly, "Detective Chinatown 3" and Chen Sicheng directly became the negative example.

As a result, the reputation of "Detective Chinatown 3" continued to plummet, and its Douban score has dropped to 5.6 points. The total box office began to be slowly overtaken by "Hello, Li Huanying", which is a foregone conclusion.

What was unexpected was that after only a few days, not only did the total box office of "Hello, Li Huanying" begin to overtake, but even the single-day box office, "Detective Chinatown 3" had fallen out of the top three and was overtaken by "Raging Fire".

It's really surprising.

"Wanda's move was a bit stinky."

After Wang Changtian finished communicating with Li Mu about Maoyan's matters, he couldn't help but make some comments.

Li Mu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Boss Wang, if you were Boss Zeng, would you rather be in the present or in the future?"

Everyone in the industry is aware of Wanda Film’s predicament now. It has reached the brink of the cliff.

"According to my personality, I would naturally seek long-term development."

"But, Mr. Wang, have you ever thought about this: without the present, there would be no future?"
