China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

New Year's Day.

The Spring Festival stalls, known as the most crowded in history, are slowly getting underway.

now.

The Lunar New Year period has been divided into several periods, including Singles' Day, Christmas, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, and Valentine's Day periods.

Since 2010, the Spring Festival stall has shown signs of rising.

In 11, "Unfortunate Journey" briefly tested the waters. The movie that really set off the Spring Festival schedule was "Now You See Me 12", which was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2.

Since then, the Spring Festival has gradually become the most important period of the Lunar New Year.

There are a total of eight movies in this year’s Spring Festival, all released at the same time.

"The Lion" - Cheng Long, Mel Gibson, Li Binbin, Choi Siwon
"Zhong Kui Conquers Demons: Snow Demon Spirit" - Chen Kun, Li Binbin
"Wolf Totem"——Feng Shaofeng, Dou Xiao

"Up to the Sky"——Zhang Zhilin, Gu Tianle, Wu Zhenyu, She Shiman
"Detective Chinatown" - Wang Baoqiang, Bai Yu, Shen Teng, Xiao Yang, Pan Yueming, Tong Yaya
"Big Fish and Begonia" - animated film

"Macau 2" - Chow Yun-fat, Zha Zhahui, Liu Jialing
"Dad's Holiday" - Wang Yuelun, Lin Zhiying, etc.

This last movie obviously took away from the traffic of "Where Are We Going, Dad". Although Canxing Culture sued Wang Yuelun, I'm afraid there will be no results.

Their reasons are also very strong.

I have not participated in "Where Are We Going, Dad", nor have the other fathers and sons. We are based on the variety show "Dad Is Back".

Yes.

"Dad Is Back" is a follow-up variety show, first broadcast on Guangdong Satellite TV.

Because of Lin Zhiying, this variety show attracted a lot of attention, and later it became a little popular, with more than 2 million online broadcasts.

This 2 million is a serious figure, not the 18.9 billion announced to the outside world.

Without water injection, the number of views exceeded 2 million, making it a hit variety show.

This is not.

In time for the Spring Festival, a variety show movie was immediately produced and released.

Even if the placement rate is low, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, it is a low-cost money-making movie. With a box office of 5-6 million, it will be able to make back its original investment, and the rest will be earned.

However, the result was completely different from what was expected.

That 6% of the film schedule is not a prime movie viewing period at all, and the theaters are not stupid. If they don't show big productions like "Tang Detective", "The Lion", and "Big Fish and Begonia", they will show yours. Money-making movie?

Of these three films, the animated film "Big Fish and Begonia" has the highest investment.

This is the first 2D animated film launched by Xingyue Pictures. The investment amount is as high as 3.5 million. With such a high investment, the effect is naturally good.

You can take a screenshot of every frame and use it as wallpaper.

The next day.

Without any surprise, the four movies with more than 20% of the film schedule took away % of the box office.
"Detective Chinatown" topped the daily charts, with a box office of 1.43 million on its first day.

"The Lion" ranked second with a box office of 1.23 million.

"Big Fish and Begonia" ranked third with a slight gap, with a daily box office of 1.17 million.

"Omen 2" had a single-day box office of 8734 million, occupying fourth place.

The remaining four movies have a total box office share of 6558 million. If you include the movies released before the Spring Festival, about ten movies will share 6558 million.

The cumulative box office output on the first day of the Lunar New Year was 5.36 million, once again breaking the single-day box office output record in the Chinese film market.

Director Wang's "Daddy's Holiday" ranked second among the remaining four films with 938 million.

Classic runner.

Douban scored 3.5 points, setting a new low in Director Wang's career.

[Director Wang’s motto: Don’t make money if you don’t have money, you bastard, netizen, everything you said is right, everyone who goes to see you is a fool, and I am that big fool]

[Trash, a pure replica of a reality show, the shooting cost did not exceed 500 million]

[I don’t understand, why would Xiaozhi accept this kind of movie? He really doesn’t care about his previous reputation at all? 】【There is no plot at all, it is not worthy of being called a movie】

On the other hand, the comment section of "The Lion" also fell into trouble. Although it was the runner-up at the box office during the Spring Festival, most of the box office it had was for Cheng Long.

【Nothing but fighting】

[Brother Cheng Long, please stop filming period dramas. You are more suited to modern dramas. Don’t be obsessed with “The Myth”.]

[The big scenes and fights are good, and there is sincerity, but is the script a little too bad? 】

[nonsense]

……

Among the eight movies released on New Year's Day, "Big Fish and Begonia" has the best reputation and is the only one with a rating of eight or more.

After Xingyue Pictures took over the film, not only did the picture receive an upgrade, but the shortcomings in the plot were also made up for.

Although the core still has a little bit of Mary Sue, the main plot has nothing to do with the bloody love triangle.

Because of the plot change, the director almost failed.

In his opinion, every line and every frame of this movie is their hard work. How can they just change it?

From his perspective, the people at Xingyue Pictures did not understand art or expression at all, and they once wanted to give up cooperation.

However, Wang Wei, the director of Chasing Light Studio, completely killed the competition with one sentence.

'The love triangle story is too thin to sustain a sequel. '

Using the sequel as bait, the director finally agreed to a major plot change, and more of the main storyline was devoted to the construction of the "Book of Mountains and Seas" system.

Likewise, the overall look and feel of "Detective Chinatown" is different from its predecessor.

After all, every director has a different style.

The version directed by Bald Xu is even better in terms of comedy. With actors like Wang Baoqiang and Shen Teng who have their own sense of humor, it is very suitable for the Spring Festival.

Typical family fun.

The jokes are not copied from Internet jokes, nor are they the traditional dirty jokes.

of course.

There are definitely pornographic jokes, but they don’t account for many of them.

Although Shen Teng is just a friendly guest star, this movie contains quite a lot of Teng, with an appearance time of up to 30 minutes.

Douban score is 7.2.

A qualified commercial comedy with good box-office and word-of-mouth success.

Baldy Xu also relied on this film to completely establish his signature as a new generation comedy director.

On the day the movie is released, he will also officially leave Star Media.

After all, it is a collaboration, there is no need to become enemies, and there is no shortage of directors under Star Media.

When it comes to comedy, Baldy Xu is not the first person.

Therefore, Lu Yuan was still going to hold a small farewell party for him and invite all the members of the group who were friends with him.

Get together internally.

……

In the next few days, "Tang Detective" and "Big Fish and Begonia" continued to work hard. As of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Big Fish and Begonia" has officially surpassed "The Lion" and ranked second in the Spring Festival.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the box office statistics for the Spring Festival are released.

This year’s Spring Festival period, the mainland box office market has a cumulative box office output of 24.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of 43%, setting a new high.

"Tang Detective" took the lead with a box office of 6.7 million, becoming the box office champion during the Spring Festival.

The second place is "Big Fish and Begonia", with a cumulative box office of 6.03 million.

Star Media once again achieved great success, with two movies taking away half of the box office. (End of chapter)
