Who are you calling powerful?

As of 12:00 a.m. on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office statistics for the first day of the Spring Festival season have ended.

"Detective Chinatown 2" had a box office of 381 million on its first day!

This data has set a new record for the first-day box office and single-day box office of China Entertainment Film Industry. As for the miscellaneous detailed planning records, there are countless.

The industry is shocked!

Maybe it’s not particularly shocking, because everyone already expected it before the movie was released.

Wei Yang considers "Detective Chinatown 2" to hit the 3 billion+ box office mark as his main mission. In fact, he is considered an extreme conservative.

Others are much more crazy than him. Many people think that this movie has great hope of breaking 3 billion.

The authoritative box office forecasting agency predicts that the total box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" will not be less than 2.5 billion. It is believed that more than 3 billion will account for more than half. It is believed that it will surpass "Mermaid" and set a new record in film history, accounting for almost one-third.

What's more, they have begun to clamor for 5 billion. Of course, it's hard to say whether this is Wei Yang's crazy fan or his bastard who wants to praise and kill him.

Let's put it this way, Boss Wei almost felt guilty because of these people.

After all, Murphy's Law is no joke. Wei Yang usually believes in the saying that "you will die if you are hot", because he has seen too much.

But fortunately, Murphy's Law and death due to hot weather are just probabilistic events.

The reason why a big hit is a big hit shows that there is still merit, just like Real Madrid has always been the king of the Champions League, Sancho did not succeed in beating Manchester United in the face.

And "Detective Chinatown 2" has the right time, place and people, and it ultimately lives up to expectations.

Even before the box office on the first day was released, many people knew that "Detective Chinatown 2" was stable.

Because with the convenience of online ticket booking, pre-sale box office is no longer a secret, and Hualuo.com has also kept pace with the times and launched relevant data displays.

The first-day pre-sale box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" was 150 million.

In the same period, "Kung Fu Yoga" was less than 50 million, "Riding the Wind and Waves" was even less, not even 25 million, and the other two movies were even less.

In other words, during the entire Spring Festival, the combined pre-sale box office of several other movies was less than two-thirds of "Detective Chinatown 2".

Although pre-sale box office does not represent everything, some media have arbitrarily concluded that——

Defeat before fighting, this year’s Spring Festival will be dominated by “Detective Chinatown 2”!

Judging from the direction of the box office on the first day, these people's judgment cannot be wrong.

The movie "Detective Chinatown" occupies 40% of the film schedule, and its box office share is close to 65%.

"Kung Fu Yoga" had a box office of 120 million on its first day, while "Riding the Wind and Waves", which had high hopes, only made less than 70 million.

It's not a disastrous defeat. They were not opponents in the first place. Losing is actually not a shame. It just makes all the bundled marketing useless.

Before the war has begun, it would be fair to say that the same factions are fighting against each other, and it is just a failure. Now that the situation has been divided, if you want to force yourself to go up, it will really be a joke.

The topics of the battle between Wei and Han talents, the battle between Wei and Deng for the box office king, and Han Zheng against the big devil quickly collapsed and disappeared after "Detective Chinatown 2" appeared at the box office on the first day, and the online promotion and marketing was also biased towards the movie itself.

But "Detective Chinatown 2" is different!

The entertainment industry sometimes pays attention to divisions, and you come and go, which makes it more lively, but it never excludes winners taking all. As long as "Detective Chinatown 2" is popular enough and can support all the traffic, the movie will be praised to the sky.

…

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wei Yang appeared at the Magic City Roadshow with several main creatives including Wang Baoqiang, Li Jiahang, Damimi, and Nazha.

In less than four hours, there were 11 hot searches related to the road show. If it is considered as other hot searches for the movie itself, the traffic directly beats the Spring Festival Gala.

This is not only reflected on Weibo, but also on other platforms.

Among the top ten questions on Zhihu's hot list, "Detective Chinatown 2" accounts for three, and the number of answers and interactions surpasses the Spring Festival Gala. Baidu search index and Tieba popularity are also led by many artists from Spring Festival movies, Douyin, On short video platforms such as Kuaishou, more people discuss movies than complain about the Spring Festival Gala.

Suddenly, many people realized that the Spring Festival Gala’s dominance during the Spring Festival had become a thing of the past.

Perhaps the Spring Festival Gala still has its own attention, but it can no longer compete with these Spring Festival movies.

Not only in terms of traffic, but also in popularity, Spring Festival movies are more prominent.

At least Damimi, Li Jiahang, and Nazha gained a lot of exposure during the Spring Festival with "Detective Chinatown 2", but the artists who participated in the Spring Festival Gala hardly had anyone to compete with them.

Of course, this is also related to the explosive popularity of "Detective Chinatown 2". This movie is more popular than in the previous life.

After all, there was another film "Operation Red Sea" that stole the show at the same time in the previous life. This time and space not only killed people at the same time, but was also an enhanced version of Wei Yang.

The popularity is unprecedented, and the box office is also a smash hit!

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, "Detective Chinatown 2" hit a box office of 360 million.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, 320 million!

It exceeded 1 billion in three days, once again setting a new box office record in the Mainland, and making all the viewers stunned.

Everyone knew that the box office of this movie would be huge, but they didn’t expect it to be so huge. The data that countless crews had been striving for was broken in just three days?

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, 310 million!

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, 302 million!

Everyone is numb. 300 million+ for five consecutive days. Is this still the movie market they know?

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the box office finally dropped to the 300 million mark, but the 280 million figure still made many people crazy.

The six-day Spring Festival box office is nearly 2 billion yuan. Who can say this is not a box office miracle?

Although on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the single-day box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" dropped directly to 210 million yuan, and the downward trend became faster, but not many people care about it.

It is normal for the box office to shrink after the Spring Festival holiday. The plate is so big. The crazy performance in the past few days will inevitably overdraw some potential, and the lack of stamina is understandable.

Up to now, under the premise that the overall reputation of "Detective Chinatown 2" is relatively stable.

It can be said that breaking through 3 billion is a foregone conclusion, and the probability of surpassing "The Mermaid" is very high, and even 4 billion is not impossible to look forward to.

It has been a while since the mainland has encountered a phenomenal movie of this level. The last one was the first "Detective Chinatown" that broke the record in film history.

As for "The Mermaid", the box office is nothing to say, and the momentum is also great, but the reputation is polarized, and it is inevitable that the score is seriously pulled.

"Detective Chinatown 2" is not without negative controversy. For example, many people think that there are too many comedy elements, which makes it look noisy, and the suspense elements are not as amazing as the first one. The answer is easy to guess, etc. But in general, most of the audience's evaluation is still good. It is a commercial film above the standard.

As I said, no work can satisfy everyone.

Whether it is "The Shawshank Redemption" or "Farewell My Concubine", there are also a bunch of people who put X numbers on Douban and Zhihu for comments.

"Dream of Red Mansions" is a mediocre work. Li Bai is just so-so, Wang Xizhi is just average, and Zhuge Liang is a dog guarding the door...

The Internet is so big and there are so many strange things that it often refreshes people's eyes and ears.

People with glass hearts can't eat the rice of the entertainment industry. Boss Wei often reads bad reviews to warn himself, but he will not be led into the ditch by them.

The most important thing for evaluating a movie, especially a commercial movie, is the public.

The public recognizes that this movie is really popular and a real success.

Wei Yang does not need to look at some specific data. The dense comments that ask him to shoot the third part quickly have already explained everything.

However, Wei Yang is still unsure about when the third film will be filmed.

The "Chinatown Detective" series has become the signature of Blue Whale, and can even be said to be a banner of the Chinese film industry.

This has brought great benefits to Wei Yang and Blue Whale, and naturally they have also been burdened by the fame.

Fortunately, Boss Wei is not short of profitable projects now, and has plenty of time to slowly concoct them, strive for stability, and do his best to ensure that the "Chinatown Detective" series has a good start and a good end.

…

The roadshow of "Chinatown Detective 2" is smoother than expected.

In other words, with the momentum of the movie, there is no need for a roadshow at all. Rather than promoting the movie, the actors are taking advantage of the momentum to harvest exposure and popularity, showing off their faces, and all the main creators are very happy.

Da Mimi is the most unconcealed, and she is simply happy.

She has no reason to be unhappy. She is originally a female star in the first echelon of commercial box office, and there are few rivals.

Now that she has taken advantage of "Chinatown Detective 2", she is expected to earn more than 3 billion box office, and she will definitely top the list.

In addition, last year's "Dear Translator" was a big hit, gaining both fame and fortune, and also achieved success behind the scenes, with a lot of Golden Eagle Awards. At the beginning of the year, "Ode to Joy 2" was also a hit, and its popularity soared, plus the "Detective Chinatown 2" that killed the Spring Festival.

Touching the cards in hand, there is also "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", and "Ode to Joy 2" may not be able to covet the Magnolia Best Actress.

Da Mimi suddenly looked back and found that her foundation was already terrifying, and she was just short of shouting.

The main wife surnamed Liu and Zhao can be the queen, so why can't I be the queen surnamed Yang?

Na Zha is not as arrogant as Da Mimi, but she is also very happy and grateful for the support of Boss Wei.

In the past year, "White Night Chase", "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and "Detective Chinatown 2", Boss Wei has been flying with Na Zha.

Even if Na Zha is not the biggest beneficiary of each work, unlike Rouba who can eat all he wants in "Love O2O", but with multiple works superimposed, he is not much inferior.

At least when she is listed as the second most beautiful woman in Xinjiang Province together with Rouba, she may be behind and inferior in some aspects, but she is not behind.

Even Rouba has to envy her in some aspects. After all, Rouba has not performed in many movies yet, while Naza is already a reserve for the 3 billion box office actress club.

And if nothing unexpected happens, she will also star in "Detective Chinatown 3", and maybe she will also star in the fourth part, and she will be in the club of actresses with 10 billion box office.

This may be the luck of fools...

Another "fool" is Wang Baoqiang. Of course, he is not stupid, but his image is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

This time, "Detective Chinatown 2" is popular, and Wang Baoqiang has also returned as a king after the divorce storm, and it is possible that he and Wei Yang will become [Mr. 10 billion box office].

The divorce has gained enough sympathy points, and "Detective Chinatown 2" has accumulated enough goodwill.

Wei Yang feels that even if his later movie "A Chinese Odyssey: Part Two" fails, as long as he does not make mistakes, it will not hurt him at all.

And this is exactly Wang Baoqiang's strength, playing a sincere way of treating people.

Wei Yang was amazed when he thought about the act of personally going to the Golden Broom to receive the award.

Some people believed that it was a PR trick, while others thought that he sincerely admitted his mistakes and accepted it humbly. But no matter what, this move really added points. Many people believed in the saying "dare to act and take responsibility, and start over again".

Compared with the above people, Li Jiahang was quite ordinary.

He seemed to have always been like this. No matter what drama or movie he starred in, he had exposure and traffic, and climbed up step by step, but he never had a particularly popular moment.

He is a steady artist who seems to be quiet, but in fact he has a solid foundation and is well-developed. He may not be in the most glorious position, but no one will ignore him.

Among the male actors born in the 1980s, Li Jiahang is firmly in the first echelon, and few can surpass him.

However, the one who really benefits the most from "Detective Chinatown 2" is Boss Wei.

[Rating King] is one of Boss Wei's nicknames, and his confidence comes from the five consecutive kills of the national ratings champion.

And now, Wei Yang's title of [Box Office King] is about to fall on his head.

The confidence is naturally the honor of breaking the box office record in film history twice and the upcoming [Mr. 10 Billion Box Office].

As mentioned earlier, Wei Yang's previous box office has accumulated more than 6.8 billion. Once "Detective Chinatown 2" exceeds 3.2 billion, he will become the first [Mr. 10 Billion Box Office] in the mainland.

As for Wang Baoqiang, it is not clear whether he can break 10 billion now.

Because his best box office before was "Lost in Thailand" and "Lost in Hong Kong", which added up to less than 3 billion.

The other performances are average. The best one is "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", which only has more than 400 million. The other movies, if added together, are unlikely to reach 500 million.

In other words, whether he can become the 10 billion box office man actually depends on how far the box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" can go.

Wei Yang's 3.2 billion is definitely not enough!

At least 3.6-3.8 billion is needed to have hope, and 4 billion is safe, otherwise we can only wait for the later "A Chinese Odyssey: Part Two".

However, even if Wang Baoqiang becomes the 10 billion box office man, his gold content is still worse than Wei Yang.

In the "Detective Chinatown" series and "Lost" series that he relies on, he is the second assistant, and the first core is Wei Yang and Xu Zheng.

Based on this point, even if his box office data surpasses Boss Wei, in the eyes of many people, he cannot be compared with Wei Yang.

After all, Wei Yang's box office data are all male protagonists, and most of them are the first core, which has irreplaceable characteristics.

However, for Boss Wei, after collecting the achievement of Mr. Billion Box Office, other disputes are of no importance to him.

What is the first and second place, supporting roles, and extras, it does not mean much to him, now he does not need these things to prove himself.

Even his fans are too lazy to pay attention, too low-level

What's the point of arguing about the ranking and bullying the actors in the same crew? If you want to do it, do it big. The favorite thing is to go for awards, point at the noses of those judges and scold them, such as Golden Eagle, White Magnolia, Golden Horse, Golden Rooster, and if you don't accept it, just fight.

As long as the target is targeted, Wei Yang will not stop it, and even support the fans, he has the confidence.

No way, no one will cry out for grievances, but dare not tear their faces against the main person, and take out their anger on a colleague who obviously has no energy to cause trouble...
