China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 273 Isn’t this more burning than Boruto? (Please subscribe!)
Maybe it's because everyone is sweeping tombs during the Tomb Sweeping Day, or maybe the Chinese people are not very receptive to animated movies. In short, the first-day box office of "Coco" was not ideal, with 'only' 2500 million.

Of course, the 'ideal' here only represents Chen Dong's ideal. In the eyes of others, an animated film that achieved a first-day box office of 2500 million in China is already quite good.

"Husband, you don't seem to be too satisfied with the first-day box office result of "Coco" reaching 2500 million yuan?"

As a person beside her, Liu Yifei is the one who is most familiar with Chen Dong. Naturally, after the results came out on the first day, Chen Dong's emo was also noticed by her.

"Is it that obvious?" Chen Dong saw his wife nodding seriously, without pretending, and said bluntly: "I'm a little disappointed. I thought the box office of "Coco" was aimed at 10 billion. But now it seems that 5 million more will be the end.”

Liu Yifei opened her eyes wide, obviously a little frightened by Chen Dong's 10 billion expectation.

"Why did you set such a high goal?"

"Is it high?" Chen Dong reflected for a moment. It seemed that the high box office of "Interstellar" made his mentality a little drifting.

He believes that "Coco" can earn 17 billion in 12.3, and it is natural to conclude that it can earn at least 10 billion this year, but in fact, there are many factors that determine the box office of a movie.

And many of them are beyond human control, such as the weather.

The best example is also his "Interstellar", which was not released until next year and only had a box office of 8 million, but he made it last year and made billion.

At this thought, Chen Dong put away his emo mood, faced his wife's appearance, nodded and said: "Well, maybe I really set my goal too high."

Liu Yifei stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "Husband, don't put too much pressure on yourself! In my opinion, "Coco" is already very impressive, and its reputation online is very good."

"Really? Let me see."

Chen Dong came to his wife's computer and scrolled through the comment section she had just been scrolling through.

Sure enough, it received rave reviews!

A blogger named "I Love Watching Movies" wrote a long review and received 1.2 likes.

他 说:

Today I went to see "Coco" with my friends, but to be honest, I don't like watching animations. I always feel that it is for children, but I couldn't resist my friend's invitation, and he said that this movie is It was written by director Chen Dong, my idol, so I walked into the cinema with skepticism.

I thought it would be boring at first, but unexpectedly, I was hooked by the beginning of this movie.

We Chinese people have always believed that people will go to hell after death, and hell in our concept is a very gloomy and dark place. But the hell shown to us in the movie "Coco" is harmonious, magical, and orderly, just like another human world.

The only difference is that the people here are all cartoon images of skulls, and because they are cartoon images, they don't feel scary at all, but instead look a bit funny and cute.

As I was slowly attracted by these scenes, I was gradually attracted by the entire storyline.

The story tells the story of Miguel, a 12-year-old boy who has always had a musical dream, but has been repeatedly opposed by his family. Due to some strange combination of circumstances, he accidentally entered the world after death. Here he met his deceased relatives, and here he could fulfill his musical dream to his heart's content. Not only did his family not oppose him, but they all supported him. But after all, he didn't belong here. In the end, between family love and dreams, he chose family love!
Director Chen is very good at mobilizing the audience's emotions... The ending of this story is the same as his last movie "Hearing Girl". After the protagonist sacrifices himself and chooses family, instead of being a burden, family will be a help!
The key point is communication!
Perhaps this is also the thought and connotation that Director Chen wants to convey to everyone through the movie.

By the way, finally I have to mention that Director Chen chose to release this movie during the Qingming Festival, which is really appropriate!
After Chen Dong read it, he silently gave this big-breasted brother a thumbs up.

After clicking, I realized that this was Liu Yifei’s account.

But that’s okay.

He continued to scroll down, and 99% of them were positive reviews.

As I brushed and brushed, I felt inexplicably better.

"Warring States" is scheduled to be released on the 12th, which is only one week apart from "Coco".

Before the release of "Coco", investors including investor Lu Zheng and director Jin Zhen were a little bit hypocritical.

After all, the overseas box office of this animation has actually earned 8 million...US dollars.

But seeing that its domestic sales on the first day barely exceeded 2500 million, what the hell, that’s it? Just be quiet and relax. Jin Zhen also deliberately posted the movie tickets of "Coco" through his social media account, and also ran a wave of advertisements for "Warring States".

The general idea is that since the movie "Warring States" is scheduled to be released on the 12th, it will be released on the 12th, and we are not afraid at all.

But then, things seemed to develop a bit beyond everyone's expectations, including Chen Dong.

On April 4, "Coco" achieved a daily box office of 5 million.

April 4…6 million.

April 4…7 million.

April 4…8 million.

April 4…9 million.

April 4…10 million.

Burn!
This box office trend is so hot!

Simply more burning than Boruto.

However, Jin Zhen had already fainted in the toilet from crying.

Quietly, the release date of "Warring States" has been changed from the 12th to the 22nd.

The reason given is that there was a slight problem in the later stage.

But whoever is smart can’t tell that it’s clearly to avoid the menacing “Coco”.

Not only "Warring States", many domestic movies scheduled for April but not yet released have changed their schedules.

I was afraid of running into this savage beast, because if I hit it, I would be injured, and if I hit it, I would die immediately.

Is this metaphor too exaggerated, you ask?
In fact, it is not an exaggeration at all, because there are already movies released at the same time as "Coco" that have made sacrifices for those who come after.

He died miserably.

……

"Husband, I was wrong."

Today, Chen Dong invited Han Shanping out for a drink. When he got home, he didn't say sorry, but his wife apologized first, which made him a little confused.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

"I shouldn't say that "Coco" can't break through the 10 billion box office."

"Uh, that's it...no, did you say that?"

"I told you..."

"It's okay, even if you said it, wife, I will forgive you, hehe... ugh~"

Originally, it was difficult to apply for an extension key for imported films.

But for the drink tonight, Chen Dong believed that the mountain eagle must have his own plan!
Otherwise, the mountain eagle's cry would be in vain...
