Chapter 339 Strong Staying Power

"It's actually a series!"

"Chang'an is going to make this kind of superhero special effects film into a series?"

"Obviously, and according to what that black guy, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., said, it's not just America that has superheroes, other states also have superheroes!"

"Awesome! All I can say is that it's awesome!"

"To be honest, Stark is so handsome, and the Iron Armor is so handsome! How many boys can resist the Iron Armor?!"

"This special effect is made of, capitalize on one word, because this is the first special effects blockbuster of this type in Xiazhou, so I have to support it no matter what!"

"I highly recommend it! I watched "Iron Man" on the first day of the new year and I can only say that it was so exciting!"

"It's completely different from Lin Qiu's art-drama films, with explosive special effects!"

…

I saw the crazy praise and discussion for the film "Iron Man" on the Internet.

In the group of Chang'an Film and Television Company, several people who were preparing to leave for the film promotion event were chatting.

Liya, Qu Wen, Jiang Hao, Zhou Yin, and Su Di, who has recently joined Chang'an Film and Television Company, are all eagerly discussing who will be the champion in this year's extremely competitive Spring Festival season!

When Lin Qiu was asked about this aspect before, he said privately that it was hard to say who would win the box office during the Spring Festival this year.

Lin Qiu is definitely number one in terms of fame and box office appeal, but the subject matter of "The Killer Is Not Too Cold" is not considered popular, and it will lose a lot of audience market. "Iron Man" seems not famous, but it is like this during the Spring Festival Under the special schedule, fermentation takes one day.

There are also "Chinatown Detective 2" and "When Earth Met Aliens", which are of good quality and are eagerly awaited, and both have the possibility of winning the Spring Festival championship.

As for "The Butterfly Effect" and "A Perfect Life", they can both achieve good reputation and box office, but it is not realistic to win the Spring Festival box office championship.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival release broke almost all previous box office records.

Because "The Killer Is Not So Cold" had the largest number of films scheduled on its first day in theaters, it naturally won the single-day box office crown, reaching 460 million.

But starting from the next day, the most anxious competition in history for the Spring Festival stalls officially began!

"Butterfly Effect" and "Perfect Life" were released smoothly.

"This Killer Is Not Too Cold" has been highly discussed, and the discussion about "whether it is a pedophile or not" has never stopped.

The sudden rise of "Iron Man" is even more terrifying. In just three days, the number of films scheduled has reached the first echelon, and there is even a faint tendency to surpass the remaining films.

"Holy shit..."

“It’s so exciting this Spring Festival!”

"I wish I could live in a movie theater and cry while watching "The Killer Is Too Cold" in the afternoon, and laugh while watching "Chinatown Detective 2" in the evening!"

"I find that the rise of Changan Film and Television Company is really exciting. Not only have I brought excellent works, but film and television companies in the entertainment industry have also begun to develop a sense of crisis. Do you have a clear feeling that in the last one or two years? The quality of works in the entertainment industry has obviously improved, and audiences are becoming less and less tolerant of bad dramas.”

"Yes, healthy competition in the entertainment industry is a great thing for the audience. It is obvious that major entertainment companies are anxious. They have been setting up projects since last year, and the cast is very competitive."

"Hahahaha! I have always talked about finishing domestic entertainment before, but now I suddenly want to take it back. This Spring Festival is the first time I feel that domestic entertainment is really awesome!"

…

Needless to say, fans are excited to see so many films of high quality.

When will Xiazhou be able to have so many films in one schedule that everyone can give a thumbs up after watching?

There are commercial films, drama films, literary films, comedies, etc. You can always find one that suits your taste.

As for the competition for box office, it must be fierce.

At the beginning of the schedule, "This Killer Isn't Too Cold" was indeed ahead.

However, during the Spring Festival period, facing the disadvantage of the audience, even though "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" still scored 9.6 points in Movie, it is still being chased by two high-quality comedies and "Iron Man". .

The seven most popular days of release, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, are the box office results of these four films.

It exceeded 4.5 billion almost at the same time, setting an astonishing record.

The release of several masterpieces at the same time will definitely affect each other's film schedule and box office, that's for sure.

After all, among the many family movie choices, there is only one to choose from.

If there was only one masterpiece, "Iron Man", and there wasn't much competition, then the box office of this film would definitely be ridiculously high.

Lin Qiu does not have the so-called invincibility myth, including the previous "I am not the God of Medicine", which all lost at the box office.

But what is somewhat inexplicable is that in the hearts of movie fans, Lin Qiu is the director who "has never failed". Maybe this is a "stereotype"...

The box office of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" was not the highest-grossing film on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the total box office was surpassed by "Chinatown Detective 2" and "Iron Man" one after another, triggering a lot of heated discussions in the online world!

The hotly debated contents are nothing more than "complaining about the box office schedule of "The Killer Isn't Too Cold"", "lamenting that Lin Qiu's new film was defeated at the box office", "lamenting that there are too many comedies during the Spring Festival, and the audience is rubbish" and so on.

There is also the discussion about the film itself.

Regarding these doubts, Lin Qiu answered them more than once when he was running around Xiazhou for film promotion activities.

Anyway, Lin Qiu himself has always been very open-minded about the box office.

As long as the film reaches the quality it deserves, Lin Qiu will have no regrets.

However, regarding the so-called "trash audience", Lin Qiu does not agree with this statement from the bottom of his heart. When he participated in the film promotion activities in Chuncheng, Lin Qiu was asked about this issue.

At that time, Lin Qiu picked up the microphone and said this.

"I don't agree with the 'trash audience' that is often mentioned online, and I don't think that fans who like to watch comedies have no taste."

"I have always said that respecting other people's aesthetics is a person's basic quality."

"The film industry is not for love. Films have been commercial activities since their inception and need a large group to support them."

"Every movie has its own target audience when it is filmed, but the right to enter the cinema is in the hands of the fans themselves, which is real money. Fans are not stupid."

"It can be said that apart from the 'fraudulent propaganda' films, how many bad movies have achieved high box office?"

Hearing this, many reporters and audiences were stunned for a moment, and then slowly nodded.

That's the truth.

Even in Lin Qiu's previous life, how many real high-grossing bad movies could there be?

There are only a few of them.

The famous bad movies have a box office of only a few hundred million, and there are more bad movies that are unknown.

A good movie is buried?

It may be that your movie is not good enough.

Just like some classic movies, the box office may be average during the release period, but as long as it is gold, it will always shine.

Of course, this is a discussion presented on the film stage.

There are many phenomena and behaviors of bad money driving out good money in the circle, but this has nothing to do with the presentation of the movie box office.

There are reasons for the high box office of any movie, which is the audience's own choice.

Everyone's cultural level, vision, understanding of movies, and mood will determine the choice of movies.

"A person who makes a movie cannot completely ignore the box office, revenue, and influence. This represents the outside world's evaluation of the movie."

Regarding the point of aesthetic contempt, as an audience, you have to think about it and don't have to argue.

For example, the two-dimensional animation is "relying on the defense" in many mainstream thoughts.

For example, some mobile games with a wide audience are at the bottom of the contempt chain.

There is also the "rap" music that is in the mainstream today, and many listeners call it "this is also called music?"

If you really take it seriously, you will live too hard.

Watch whatever you like.

Listen to whatever you like.

Your own aesthetics, just live happily.

It is best to stay away from people who deny others' aesthetics with a proud attitude.

…

In previous years' Spring Festival period, generally after the seventh day of the first lunar month, many workers would start to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the box office would start to plunge sharply and tend to be flat.

But this Spring Festival period is really too different, which surprised many media in Xiazhou and made them publish news one after another.

Although the box office on the eighth day of the first lunar month also dropped sharply, the trend of the plunge was much more moderate than that of the normal Spring Festival period in previous years!

The reason is not difficult to understand, that is, there are too many good movies.

During the Spring Festival, everyone was busy, and many movie fans did not have time to appreciate other movies.

For example, Lin Qiu's iron fan, Chen Feng's family, was very busy during the Spring Festival. During the festival, they visited friends and relatives, but the whole family watched a movie "Detective Chinatown 2" together and had a good time.

Even Lin Qiu's new film "Leon: The Professional" was not watched in time. Instead, it was when he officially went to work that he had time.

After get off work, he went straight to the cinema and quietly appreciated "Leon: The Professional".

There are more than one such person.

It is precisely because of this that after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, "Leon: The Professional", which was originally considered by many mainstream media to have withdrawn from the Spring Festival box office champion, has instead been supported by a strong momentum!
