271 The [Savage Storm] that swept across Asia(1/2)
"Ling~Ling~Ling~"
Ye Fan and Zeng Li, who were still sleeping soundly in the morning, were woken up by the sudden ringing of the phone.
"Well...it's so noisy! Who is calling me so early in the morning?"
Hearing Zeng Li's dissatisfied voice, Ye Fan glanced at the phone on the bedside. It was rare for the two of them to relax yesterday.
The two of them were so selfless that they turned off their mobile phones, but forgot to unplug the phone line in the hotel room...
"Yeah, who is so immoral and disturbs people's dreams so early in the morning!"
Ye Fan looked at the clock on the wall that said half past ten, his eyes wide open and he was lying.
Ye Fan picked up the phone and quickly put it down. After unplugging the phone cord on the bedside, he comforted Zeng Li and asked her to continue sleeping.
He got up and walked out of the room, using the phone in the living room to call back...
"Hello? Who just called me? Oh? It's Boss Xiang. What's the matter?"
I just heard the other end of the phone say excitedly to the boss: "The midnight box office of "Savage Girl" has been released! A total of 937,600!"
Ye Fan yawned and said: "Only more than 900,000? What's so exciting about this? It's not even more than 1 million!"
Boss Xiang, who was still very excited, was choked and speechless when he heard Ye Fan's words.
What does "only over 900,000" mean? What does "less than 1 million" mean? Listen, is this what people say?
You must know that before this at the Hong Kong Island Film Market, the movie with the highest midnight box office was "Young and Dangerous" with HK$1.35 million!
Of course, this is related to the group of people who go to midnight shows. Most white-collar workers and people who have to work the next day will not go to midnight shows at this point.
The groups that watch the most midnight movies on Hong Kong Island are, of course, idle gangsters and members of the public.
Moreover, the movie with the highest midnight box office in Hong Kong in 1997 was Ye Fan's "The Suspect". Now the movie starring him has broken this record. It's already amazing, okay!
You must know that the box office of "The Gambler 1999" last night at midnight was only 270,000. Those were Andy Lau and Zhu Yin. The box office was not as high as Ye Fan's movie. How could Boss Xiang not be surprised!
When did Andy Lau's ability to compete at the box office in Hong Kong become inferior to that of Ye Fan? Or is Ye Fan more popular than Andy Lau? Or maybe a good story can make a movie successful?
The midnight box office performance of "My Sassy Girl" gave him the illusion that the Hong Kong film market was still in its prime and not in decline.
"Uh... aren't you excited? Since last year, there haven't been many movies in Hong Kong that have a box office of over 500,000 yuan at midnight!"
"What's so exciting about this? Is it strange that my movie has such a result? It only surprises me that it doesn't have such a result."
"Bo~Bo~Bo~"
Boss Xiang resisted the urge to ask his younger brother to hack Ye Fan to death and hung up the phone directly. He really didn’t want to hear Ye Fan’s pretentious words anymore!
How long has it been since anyone dared to show off like this in front of him! His excitement and excitement were completely wiped out by Ye Fan's words!
Ye Fan looked at the hung up phone and curled his lips. It was so rude. Ye Fan didn't even blame him for disturbing his sleep. Why was he being disliked if he told the truth?
However, it is indeed good for "Savage Girl" to have such a box office at the midnight show. Next year's "Heroes of China" has a box office of only 760,000 yuan at the midnight show and was blown away by others.
The midnight box office of "Kung Fu" was only 870,000, which aroused the excitement of the Hong Kong media. The box office of "Sassy Girl" is expected to have a big impact.
Indeed, as Ye Fan thought, after the midnight box office of "Savage Girl" came out with a box office of 937,600, it blew up the Hong Kong media and the Hong Kong circle.
When has a mainland film achieved such success in Hong Kong Island? Didn’t it say that the film market in Hong Kong Island is in decline? What is the situation?
Moreover, after the reputation of "Savage Girl" came out, people who went to the cinema to watch this movie on the 24th formed a long queue at the entrance of the cinema!
The last time there was such a grand occasion was when "The Storm" was released. Can "Savage Girl" have the same box office as "The Storm"?
You must know that the production costs of the two movies are quite different. Is Ye Fan going to have a double success in terms of word-of-mouth and box office?
However, I was surprised. This did not affect the popularity of "My Sassy Girl" in the media across the country. Film critics and reporters who had watched the movie expressed their opinions in newspapers.
This is a pain for Brother Hua. The popularity of his "Gambler 1999" cannot be compared with "My Sassy Girl". Its final box office will definitely be much lower than the original history...
After "My Sassy Girl" was released in the mainland, it and "See You or See You" sparked a movie-watching craze in the mainland. Judging from the situation on that day, the number of moviegoers for the two movies was about the same.
But by the 25th, with the reputation of "Savage Girl" fermenting among young people, and with media reports on the two movies from various countries, the "Savage Storm" sweeping Asia has taken shape!
"China Film News": [Ye Fan subverts the traditional love narrative structure in the past through the subversive character image of "Savage Girlfriend", and tells a romantic love story with a fresh and delicate plot. This is a movie that can awaken people.

…
In addition to the fact that the media from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places have reported on "Savage Girl", the media from other countries have also paid considerable attention to this anti-traditional love movie!
Not only because "My Sassy Girl" sparked a movie-watching craze in their country, but also because of the content and topics in this movie, there are so many things worthy of discussion.
In addition to the anti-traditional love story, Ye Fan also ruined his appearance. His improvement in acting has also aroused heated discussions. The charming Zeng Li in the movie has also fascinated many people in other countries.
Not to mention that when watching movies in various countries, there are many fights and fights. Very few movies can cause such situations. In addition to fights between men and men who are sprayed on the head by the audience in the back row while watching the movie, there are also fights between men and women after watching the movie.
Not a few...
In the 1990s, not to mention that the domestic customs in this regard were relatively conservative, even in places with relatively developed economies such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, the customs in this regard were not much better.
The movie "Savage Girl" came out in 1998. It was a huge impact on social culture in East Asia, where people's customs are relatively conservative in this regard!
It can be said that a "sassy girlfriend trend" suddenly emerged in the societies of these East Asian countries, especially among young girls, it has a huge impact!
On the day of its release, in addition to discussing the movie, domestic netizens also formed a "Savage Girlfriend Group" with a large number of girls in love.
They promote being an independent woman and no longer dependent on men. They even call on girls to learn from [Song Mingyu] and control their boyfriends instead of relying on them.
Some single male netizens have not yet reacted, while male netizens who are in a relationship have already suffered...
[I really want to chop Ye Fan to death, he is a real dog! I am being harmed by him now!]
[Brother, what’s wrong with you? It’s just a movie, why are you so angry? 】
[Upstairs, I see you don’t have a girlfriend. I feel the same as what you said on the first floor!]
【……】
【What's going on here? Let me tell you guys.】
[I had good intentions to support Ye Fan’s new movie, but in the end his movie taught women how to be a savage girlfriend? My wife followed Zeng Li’s example and asked me to go to work to give her flowers today. She said that if I didn’t go, she would deal with me when she came back in the evening.
, Damn it, who did I offend!]
[You are pretty good. My guy got started after watching the movie yesterday. He even rode on me last night and was so speechless.]
[Brother, is your "riding" character serious? 】
[Then you are still speechless, shouldn’t you be so happy? 】
[…, the topic has gone astray, if you don’t want 404, please be more serious!]
[Yes, if I had known I would not have taken my girlfriend to see "Savage Girl", she would have transformed immediately after watching it! 】
…
As soon as this topic was discussed, the first man who suffered disaster was followed by the second, then the third, and then countless others.
Soon, after discovering that they had the same experience, so many boys online expressed that they were cheated by Ye Fan while watching "Savage Girl".
From a big man, he turned into a stingy guy who was bullied by his girlfriend.
This made Ye Fan shake his head. No wonder he was bullied by his girlfriend. He was really not smart at all. Since he was unlucky, he couldn't talk about this situation.
It should be said that this movie is good, it can enhance the relationship between male and female friends, and let other men who have never seen it watch this movie, so that they can also enjoy this treatment.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan was ready to let the network department take the lead.
But there was no need for Ye Fan to arrange someone to set the pace. After seeing these remarks, many people ran into the cinema to watch "Savage Girl" out of curiosity, and left the cinema stunned after watching it.
Of course, the netizens who brought their girlfriends to see the show were even worse. They turned around and followed the people before to criticize Ye Fan, and their desire to kill Ye Fan was extremely strong!
However, not long after they criticized Ye Fan, before Ye Fan could reply or take action, they were targeted by many female netizens who heard the news.
Female netizens said that Ye Fan's films were good and supported Ye Fan. Many male netizens said that movies like "Savage Girl" should not appear...
Ye Fan instantly became a "friend of women" and an "enemy of men" online. This phenomenon even spread offline, directly making "Sassy Girlfriend" and Ye Fan extremely popular again!
Ye Fan once again caused a war of words on the Internet with his own efforts!
Xiaoma Ge, Zhang Chaoyang and other Internet tycoons were delighted to see that Ye Fan was really their reborn parent!
Ye Fan not only gave them money, but also sent them traffic. If this didn't develop well, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to Ye Fan?
And such a movie that can cause such a hot social phenomenon has also attracted many media reports and discussions, and the sales and ratings are surprisingly good.
