Chapter 17 Word of Mouth and Box Office on the First Day (3/4)
Chen Mengxi actually regrets it, and he should really avoid these two movies.
"Surveyors" has taken advantage of it - less than 40 million yuan in cost, with a box office of 290 million yuan...
Why did I arrange for "Return to Twenty" to be released?
Just yesterday, the attendance rate of the golden games of "Let the Bullets Fly" was as high as 70%, and "If You Are the One 2" also had 60%...
We should wait until these two films are almost done to fight each other, and then release "Return to Twenty". No matter how bad it is, we should withdraw to the New Year's Day period!
After all, the number of screens today is not as high as 7,000 yuan...
Where is the space to accommodate three movies?
But there is no way, you can't be cowardly!
The release date has been announced long ago, so how can I just be rejected?
I didn’t see Er Dongsheng leading Gu Tianfeng and Karen Mok filming "You Are Along the Way" released on December 30, and I’m willing to be cannon fodder...
I would rather die than change the schedule!
So, it's dead - "All the Way" box office didn't reach 6 million...
...
"Returning to Twenty", the title of the film represents the plot.
The beginning of the movie is when Huang Bo asks students what you think of when talking about the elderly. There are many annoying words in the answer: thick-skinned, strange smell on the body, nagging, and not daring to help...
The professor was stunned and asked later, did you not think of any advantages of the elderly around you?
Then the professor's mother, Gui Yalei, appeared.
In fact, if you analyze it carefully, Meng Lijun played by Gui Yalei is quite good: independent and self-reliant, strong, clear-headed, and careful cooking...
Not a burden to the family!
But in the movie, her existence is not needed, and even makes her family bored - the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is dissatisfied, the son is doting on his grandson, and the sarcastic words are still nagging.
The family decided to send her to a nursing home, of course, to see her regularly...
After the dinner, she returned to the nursing home alone and met a "Youth Photo Studio", and then the plot officially began!
The plot is about rehearsing a band, looking for love, and making up for the regrets in life when I was young.
This is a typical plot pattern. It is judged by the classification of American script textbook "Save the Cat", which is called a dream come true story. There are a large number of such movies in the United States, such as "Hot Mom and Hot Girls", "Return to 17 years old", etc.
By the way, there is also "Emma's Wish" - the 75-year-old man returned to forty-five years old, in order to save his daughter's affection...
In Hollywood, this type of movie is mostly a fashionable and slightly superficial pattern treatment, with youth and love as the theme. Although it is easy to achieve ideal results at the box office, the overall positioning temperament of the movie is more impetuous and mostly goes with the flow...
But in China, such stories are rare on the screen at least!
Moreover, the whole story revolves around the relationship between characters within the family, making the plot appear warm and full, real and credible, especially in the Eastern society with a strong sense of family, whether in South Korea or China, it is obvious that this movie is more likable.
Also, "Returning to Twenty" is actually Liu Yifei's personal show!
The lighting and photography completely surrounded her, the clothes were beautiful, the color was properly adjusted in the later stage, full enough, and the most important thing was that the skin had no flaws...
In the Easter egg part, Chen Mengxi appears and plays Li Dahai who returns to his youth...
The fairy tale continues...
Although it is just an easter egg, it makes people feel comfortable and does not have that kind of depressing feeling!
Moreover, does the Easter egg indicate a sequel?
...
All three films, and all are works with passing scores or above.
The critics were so happy!
As a member of the film industry chain, they are certainly willing to make domestic movies better and better - in this way, more people will watch the reviews they write!
Everyone has gone to watch Hollywood, no one cares about domestic movies, what status can the film critics have?
"Let the Bullets Fly" released 16;
The box office of Zero Oct is 1.1 million, setting a record;
"If You Are the One 2" was released on the 22nd, with a box office of more than 2 million at the 00-hour stage, setting a new record...
"Returning to Twenty" is not willing to be outdone, and the box office at midnight was 3.2 million...
New record again!
This is true. It is basically the box office contributed by Liu Yifei's fans and Han Geng's fans...
Most of the critics gave "Let the Bullets Fly" nine points, five points for "If You Are the One 2", and many extreme critics even gave one point - because "If You Are the One 2" is actually Wang Shuo's personal essay "The Legend of Li Xiangshan"...
Of course, the opinions of the film critics are not that important!
Otherwise, "If You Are the One 2" would not have exceeded 100 million in three days...
Let me write down what most film critics think about "Return to Twenty", after all, this thing is still flooding the screen!
"The popularity of youth idols and harmonious family atmosphere connect the audience of the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people in a fantasy way. The retro temperament and nostalgic old songs, and the delicate family affection are few Chinese masterpieces that are suitable for the whole family to appreciate in the near future."
"The plot actors are all very good. At least the level of the Lunar New Year holiday, I personally would like to give them full marks! I really hope that films with such themes will become phenomenal movies, and then more young people will take their parents to the cinema to watch - after all, the situation in the film is really common in China!"
"A fairytale movie that only cares about the yang side of life and does not care about the bitterness and astringence of the yin side. Such a movie may not be good, because you can see a magical hand softly teasing time."
By the way, theaters gave 30% of the screenings for "Return to Twenty", 38% of "If You Are the One 2", and 30% of "Let the Bullets Fly", 30%...
There are 2% left to give to "The Orphan of Zhao"...
...
No. 24.
Set a new record for the market: 100 million!
It's simply a myth. You should know that when "Avatar" was released, the highest value of the market was only 60 million...
In a year, 2,000 screens and terminal theater construction finally exploded at the last moment.
Speaking of the premiere day, "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2" are still popular, and the theme of "Return to Twenty" is obviously more suitable for the Christmas period...
It won 31 million box office on the first day...
Ranked third, there is no way, the other two are in too strong momentum!
Can't stop it at all...
But the attendance rate of "Return to Twenty" is higher than "Part 2" - the golden event has an 80% attendance rate.
...
31 million on the first day...
I have never done "If You Are the One 2", nor have I done "Let the Bullets Fly", and I can't even compare to "Tangshan Earthquake" and "Painted Skin 2".
But, the reputation is so good that "If You Are the One 2"...
Shen Mengxi was very satisfied with the data when she saw it!
What else do you want to tear off 31 million under the attack of two phenomenal movies?
"It's already very good. Our cost is not as high as 40 million. It is the cheapest among these three movies. Its reputation has exceeded that of "If You Are the One 2". I guess the box office will surpass it tomorrow!"
Zhao Jinsong asked back: "Aren't you worried?"
Chapter completed!
