Chapter 556: The Fighting Power of the Jimei

On the 28th, the media announced the first-day box office of "Tiny Times" and "The Good Wife", which were released on the same day.

"The youth-themed movie Tiny Times, written and directed by Guo Jingming and starring Yang Mi, Guo Caijie, Guo Biting and others, grossed 7100 million yuan on its first day."

"Both the movies Tiny Times and The Master of Breaking Up are expected to reach the 10 billion box office mark."

"The comedy film "Breakup Master", directed and acted by Deng Chao, starring Su Chang, Liu Yan, Liang Chao and others, grossed 8060 million on the first day!"

"The Breakup Master surpassed Tiny Times on its first day of box office and won the domestic film box office championship that day."

The entire production industry, or the entire entertainment industry, was shocked by the first-day box office of these two films.

How can a newcomer, who has just made his debut in a new industry, get such box office success with just a random film?

Although the other one is an actor, he is also a real new director.

"Fuck, am I crazy, or are the audience crazy?"

Wang Changtian of Guangxian murmured to himself after seeing the data of these two films.

When "The Mummy" was released a week ago, the box office exceeded 100 million yuan in the first three days of the weekend, which surprised him greatly.

But now after seeing the data from "Breakup Guru", besides being excited, I also feel a little bit unbelievable.

"Damn, I've discovered that making blockbusters is not as profitable as making these low-budget movies. The market has really grown visibly."

Wang Zhonglei of Huayi Company felt deeply moved and jealous at the same time.

...

However, although the first-day box office figures of 7100 million and 8060 million look very impressive, there are also many hidden dangers.

Because there has never been a single movie, or a few movies, that have been publicly refuted or belittled by most of the film industry.

No director has ever been publicly attacked by a large number of filmmakers and film critics.

Now, "Tiny Times" and Guo Jingming have achieved all of this, and they are worthy of being recorded in film history!

"The record of a super bad movie with super box office success created by Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains was broken by Tiny Times in less than a month."

"Tiny Times is worse than all the bad movies before. Its ostentation and over-the-topness have reached a morbid level."

"'The Breakup Master' is also a completely bad movie. The heavy-handed plot and funny scenes are an insult to the word 'comedy'."

"Both movies are complete rubbish. Compared to Tiny Times, The Breakup Guru is worthless except for making people laugh."

Many Weibo celebrities launched a wave of criticism on Weibo, accusing the film of being hollow and having distorted values.

Among the many celebrities, the comments of film critics Zhou Liming and Parrot Shi Hang are very representative.

But just one day later, the Weibo accounts of people like Zhou Liming and "Parrot Shi Hang" were "attacked" by Guo Jingming's fans and post-90s audiences, who accused them of being too old and unable to keep up with this young era.

There are also many viewers born in the 90s who actively forwarded comments about "Tiny Times" on the Internet. They said that the film was so beautiful and the actors' acting skills were so good. They said that they cried while watching it.

...

"Mimi, the movie did very well at the box office, but the word of mouth was very bad."

In Shanghai, Zeng Jia felt mixed emotions after reading the comments online.

It has to be said that the box office of "Tiny Times" was surprisingly good, but the reviews seemed to be surprisingly bad as well.

On the Douban movie website, 50% of people gave it one star, and the other 50% gave it five stars. The strange bar chart also revealed how polarized the film's reputation is.

"But the fans like it very much. At least it's better than Detective Dee."

Yang Mi saw the key. Young fans seemed to like the movie, which greatly increased her Weibo followers.

You know, when "The Mystery Detective" was released, the box office exceeded 100 million in three days, which did make Yang Mi feel the pressure.

Coupled with the Hollywood blockbusters released in the same period, Yang Mi was thinking that if she failed, Liu Shishi’s fans would probably clamor for a long time.

"Yeah, from the current perspective, it will definitely surpass the movie starring Liu Shishi, but it will probably be difficult to surpass 'The Breakup Guru'." Zeng Jia said happily at first, then he thought of something and his expression changed.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi felt the same way. "The Breakup Master" put too much pressure on "Tiny Times", not only in terms of box office, but also in terms of word of mouth and comments from netizens.

Online, according to media statistics, "Tiny Times" accounts for more than half of every ten comments from netizens, and the rest are "Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains", "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Ghost Story" and "The Master of Breaking Up".

This is what worries the two of them the most.

at the same time.

Capital, Guangxian Group.

Deng Chao got the box office data of "Breakup Guru" as soon as possible.

At this moment, his face flushed, he could no longer contain his excitement.

But after seeing the online reviews and reputation of "Breakup Guru", Deng Chao instantly frowned.

"Mr. Wang, there are so many negative reviews. Should we…"

Looking at Wang Changtian sitting opposite him, Deng Chao cautiously tested him. He didn't want to follow the same fate as "So Young".

"Yeah, I'm already working on it. I kind of regret it now. I chose the wrong schedule."

After seeing the box office of "Breakup Guru", Wang Changtian remembered what Gu Wei had said to him. Gu Wei had suggested that he change the schedule, but he refused.

"Mr. Wang, you can't say that. Compared with Tiny Times, The Breakup Master doesn't have so many negative reviews." What can Deng Chao say? He is just a director and starring actor. He has no investment and can't make any decisions. When the two sides were discussing the release date of this movie, Gu Wei reminded Wang Changtian that it should be released earlier or later.

But after considering it, Wang Changtian decided to put it off until the end of June. There was no other way.

Looking at this year's schedule, there are "Lost in Thailand" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in January and February, so this is definitely a no-brainer.

"Seattle" will be released in March. Wang Changtian did not choose to confront Star Pictures head-on with this movie produced by the company. According to his idea, he should not let outsiders get the upper hand.

In April and the May Day period, Guangxian's hugely invested "So Young" will be released, and "Iron Man 3" and "Provence" are also being released. Deng Chao's low-budget film will naturally give way.

"Fast and Furious 6" will be released at the end of May!

As for the next few months, "Knife of the Assassin" is scheduled to be released at the end of July and will compete head-on with the imported film "Wolverine 2".

September and November are full of blockbusters, with "Sin City 2" and "The Hunger Games" both eyeing the release date. After much thought, only June has weaker competition.

In order to avoid direct competition with the blockbuster "Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains", "The Breakup Guru" was deliberately scheduled to be released at the end of the month. In order to avoid internal friction, Wang Changtian also moved up the release date of "The Mystery Detective", which can be said to be painstaking.

Unexpectedly, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" was a paper tiger, and "The God of War" did not give him any surprises. Instead, this movie by Deng Chao achieved a huge box office success.

"I should have known to release it at the beginning of the month." The more Wang Changtian thought about it, the more he regretted it, and he couldn't help but sigh.

But at this point, there is definitely no use regretting.

So, after discussing with Deng Chao, he decided to focus on his opponent.

.........

It’s February 7th.

"Tiny Times" and "The Master of Breakup" both broke 2.1 million yuan at the box office after three days of release. The former took in 2.4 million yuan, and the latter even earned an exaggerated million yuan.

Now, media reporters are blessed, and all kinds of reports are heard everywhere.

At the same time, a large number of film critics, directors from the Directors Guild, screenwriters from the Screenwriters Guild, and even producers, rarely stood together to boycott "Tiny Times".

Even the Federation of Literary and Art Circles came out and pointed out that "Tiny Times" was immoral.

China Film.

Han Sanping was staring at the computer, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, browsing various news about the hottest movie "Tiny Times".

"Another one, two copies of Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains."

Han's three comments were funny but also a little worried. If all domestic movies are like this, how can they do it? Although the box office is good, the popularity of such a movie is not a good thing for the development of the film industry, but a disaster.

On the Internet, the promotional and response methods of "Tiny Times" and "Breakup Guru" were indeed completely different at the time.

Under the control of Wang Changtian, "The Breakup Master" has frequently appeared on major talk shows, relying on the leadership of Deng Chao and Su Chang, who took leave from the crew of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

The two of them did not shy away from the negative reviews and ridicule from netizens, and Deng Chao even said frankly that he made this movie just to make the audience laugh.

"I have been an actor for many years, and I am good at acting, but this is my first time filming a movie, so naturally there are many problems. I admit this..."

"When I was revising the script for "The Breakup Guru", I received a lot of advice from Director Gu Wei. I think there are no major problems with the plot and logic of this movie. Even if there are, it must be because of my filming..."

It has to be said that when Deng Chao, who was instructed by Wang Changtian, said these words in a teasing way and in a funny language, many netizens also recognized it.

Afterwards, Su Chang also shared how Deng Chao “repeatedly” tricked him into joining the crew and some interesting stories during the filming.

Netizens also responded positively, and one post even said bluntly: "Compared with several other movies, is "The Breakup Master" a bad movie?"

The article said that Deng Chao's film originally had a small investment and the publicity before its release was not exaggerated.

Unlike some other movies, which are eager to step on others.

Finally, the box office is mentioned, which is also the best proof.

"Even though Tiny Times has so many fans supporting it, The Breakup Guru still leaves the other one behind, which can be seen from the box office. If this movie is really a big flop, it can't be that the audience are all fools."

...

And the other side.

Guo Jingming chose to confront it head-on.

He himself posted several Weibo posts, denouncing the entire film industry for persecuting him and hoping to get support from his fans.

“I don’t know why I was targeted by the entire industry and besieged by a large number of trolls.”

"If you have anything to say, come at me, but please don't scold my fans and the fans of my movies. They just simply want to support their favorite works."

Family members and fans were deeply moved. Look, even at this time, Director Guo is still defending us.

Girls, take action.

So, the family members fought to the death and cursed at film critics, film associations, screenwriters associations, federations of literary and art circles and other organizations on Weibo.

In their words, the box office of "Tiny Times" is the best proof that it is a good movie that will definitely reach 10 billion.

Those who refuted "Tiny Times" are all jealous villains.
