Chapter 348: Breaking the First Day Box Office Record
When the movie ended and the lights came on, many girls in the audience were in tears and laughing with tears in their eyes.

Because the content of the film is really touching, and they haven't seen such a good love movie for a long time.

If you think carefully, the last romantic blockbuster that sparked widespread discussion should be "Titanic" in 97.

And going further back, it should be Stephen Chow’s “A Chinese Odyssey” series!

In fact, it is not easy to make a good love movie. The film requires many specific elements.

Such as, separation of life and death!

In Titanic, Jack died saving Rose.

In "A Chinese Odyssey", Zixia died while saving Zhizunbao.

In "White Snake: Origin", Xu Xuan was hit by multiple ice cones in order to save Xiaobai.

In fact, Stephen Chow’s "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" also has love, as well as separation of life and death.

However, the emotional drama between Miss Duan and Chen Xuanzang was not well-prepared, and the "beauty saving the hero" scene seemed a bit abrupt.

So "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is a good special effects blockbuster, but it can't really be called a touching love movie.

In addition, a good love movie must also have a romantic atmosphere.

From this perspective, "White Snake: Origin" definitely gets full marks. The romantic scenes between Xu Xuan and Xiaobai in the film are not only numerous, but also beautiful, the kind that is breathtakingly beautiful.

However, the dark-themed "A Chinese Ghost Story" is obviously inferior.

In addition, there must be memorable characters, unique storylines, beautiful pictures, and touching music.

"White Snake: Origin" still scored full marks in terms of music.

At the end of the film, the beautiful scenery of West Lake and the tune of "Past Lives and Present Lives" sounded, instantly making countless girls with their makeup smudged from tears burst into laughter.

Because I know that Xu Xian and White Snake have a beautiful love and a happy life.

Although Fahai caused trouble later on, they were still together after all!

Just thinking about these will make you happy!

The audience was very excited, and the guests and reporters in the venue were also filled with emotion.

Because before the premiere, some people secretly discussed that Jiang Heng had run out of ideas.

In addition, Jiang Heng had never filmed a love movie before (A Chinese Ghost Story was directed by Guo Fan), so many people were skeptical about the final effect of White Snake: Origin.

Of course, with Jiang Heng's level, no matter how he shoots it, it will be much better than "Legend of White Snake", but many people did not expect it to be this good.

"Congratulations, Director Jiang. I never thought you could make the well-known Legend of the White Snake so innovative and touching!"

Han Sanping was the first to stand up and congratulate. Although the two were very familiar with each other and had worked together many times, he was still shocked at this moment.

Others such as Jiang Wen, Ge You, Zhang Guoli, etc., also came over to congratulate them.

As for the film's main creators, they have to line up behind the guests.

When it came to the reception dinner, Jing Tian sat next to Jiang Heng with a smile as beautiful as a flower and a slightly rosy cheek, looking very happy.

It’s not that she officially announced her girlfriend, but that she sat next to Jiang Heng as the heroine.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Da Tiantian felt a little dizzy and couldn't help whispering in Jiang Heng's ear. "Brother, I'm so happy today. Let's be together forever, okay!"

The scene was a bit noisy, but luckily Jing Tian was very close, so Jiang Heng could hear clearly. He whispered in his ear, "Of course we will be together forever!"

Da Tiantian was so happy when she heard that that she smiled a little foolishly.

There were many girls sitting at the seat next to him. When they saw Jing Tian's appearance, they were extremely envious.

Liu Yifei felt a little disappointed. She and Jiang Heng filmed "A Chinese Ghost Story", which was also very good and touching, but in comparison, it was still a little worse.

"Brother is partial to me!" Liu Yifei couldn't help but think in her heart, looking at Jiang Heng with a bit of resentment.

That night, many website media published reports on the premiere of "White Snake: Origin".

It can be said that it is full of praise. Penguin.com said: Director Jiang Heng’s new film "White Snake: Origin" has super shocking visual effects, very beautiful picture composition, and an extremely touching love story...

The wording can be said to be very exaggerated, instantly arousing the curiosity of many readers.

Even Xinlang Entertainment, which has a bad relationship with Jiang Heng, wrote in its report: Because Director Jiang Heng rarely added love elements to the films he shot in the past, everyone has always believed that he is a director who does not understand love. But today's "White Snake: Origin" really surprised everyone present...

I have to say that Xinlang Entertainment’s report is even more curious.

By the next day, reports from major print media came out, further praising "White Snake: Origin" to the level of a classic romance movie.

This is the work of director Jiang Heng, and it also stars the super popular young actress Jing Tian. It is a classic story like "The Legend of White Snake", plus it is a 3D special effects blockbuster...

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "White Snake: Origin" attracted a huge crowd to watch the movie, and it took in 1.31 million yuan at the box office on the first day.

After the news was reported, it shocked the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

1.31 million, this result is too exaggerated. The total box office in mainland China of "Legend of White Snake", which is also adapted from "Legend of White Snake", is only slightly more than this number.

"White Snake: Origin" almost surpassed it in box office on just the first day of its release. It's really shocking.

Yang Zhi and Huang Shengyi were so shocked after hearing the news that they turned pale and were speechless for a long time.

When the strength difference is similar, others will hate you and envy you.

But if the disparity is so huge that it leads to despair, that kind of hatred often disappears, because there is no way to compare them at all!
After Yang Zhi and Huang Shengyi realized what was happening, the first thing they said was, "If I had known, I wouldn't have filmed White Snake!"

"Yeah, why bother!"

Yang Zhi and Huang Shengyi became the targets of ridicule by fans, but Jing Tian's popularity soared again because of her role as Xiao Bai. Her number of Weibo fans soared, and she remained the number one female star in mainland China.
Many viewers left messages on her account, saying that they loved the role of Xiaobai she played!
"Your performance is a complete subversion of the classics, White Snake, I will only recognize your performance from now on!"

In addition to domestic sales, the film also performed well at the overseas box office.

Especially in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, because these places are influenced by Chinese culture, many people know "The Legend of White Snake".

For example, Japan's Toho Corporation and Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers Films once co-produced a film called "Madame White's Evil Love", the content of which was very different from the later widely circulated "The Legend of the White Snake". In the film, Lady White was beaten to death by Xu Xuan, and the theme was closest to Feng Menglong's "Madame White is Imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda Forever".

Of course, the audience still prefers to watch something that is slightly more aesthetic.

Therefore, "White Snake: Origin" was very popular in the Japanese market, and it topped the weekly box office as soon as the film was released.

As for audiences in South Korea and other Southeast Asian countries, they were all moved by the beautiful images and love story in the film.
