Chapter 271: Total Explosion!

The box office of the midnight show of "Those Years" was actually very average, probably less than three million.

Obviously, both the domestic action film "King of Killers" and the Hollywood blockbuster "Interstellar Odyssey" had a midnight box office that exceeded "Those Years".

This is actually quite normal. After all, the publicity campaigns for these two popcorn movies are very fierce.

Then there is the first-day box office. According to Maoyan Professional Edition statistics, "Those Years" took up 16.3% of the screenings and earned 61.132 million yuan in box office revenue, accounting for 20.4% of the total box office revenue.

The first-day box office data can only be described as average, but it undoubtedly set a record for the "youth film" genre.

Moreover, by comparing its screening share and overall box office share, we can also see its potential.

Of course, the first-day box office of the other two films still surpassed "Those Years". After all, their screening share was higher than that of "Those Years".

However, there are obvious differences in the reputation of these three!

The one with the best reputation, of course, is "Those Years", and its Maoyan reputation has reached 9.8 points!

Among the audience's hot comments, the ones marked in red are: "Gu Qing's singing is beautiful", "clear structure", "outstanding emotions", "perfect music", "interesting lines", "good acting", "many jokes", "many laughs", "many tearful moments"...

Some of the more specific short reviews are as follows:

"As a low-budget 2D youth romance film from China, I noticed a very good attendance rate when I watched it. The entire theater was filled with laughter during the first half, but it was completely silent during the second half, with some even reaching for tissues. Both Xia Ting and Gu Qingge's acting was spot on. Five-star recommendation!"

"I'm a straight guy, but my girlfriend dragged me to see this movie. I was completely captivated and deeply moved. This is a great movie for everyone. I used to think teen movies were only for girls..."

"When I first watched it, I thought it was a complete campus comedy, but as I watched it, I realized that the hero and heroine were destined to never be together, because true love should be equal. The ending was exactly as I expected. This youth film is really great and very realistic. I give it a 10 out of 10."

"I just want to say that after watching the movie, I immediately paid to download "Those Years" and "A Little Luck". Both songs are so good!"

…

These comments on Maoyan represent the audience’s true thoughts after buying tickets to watch the movie.

Compared with professional film critics, their reviews may seem superficial and not in-depth enough, but this can directly show whether they like the movie or not.

As it turns out, the viewing experience of the movie "Those Years" is very good.

After watching the film, the audience gave it high ratings and the short reviews were also very good, and it has an excellent reputation.

When a movie can make many people laugh and cry, it means that it is a good movie that is worth watching.

As we all know, this style of film is very popular in China.

Compared with the excellent reputation of "Those Years", "King of Killers" and "Interstellar Odyssey" are quite average.

What is unexpected is that the Hollywood blockbuster "Interstellar Odyssey" has the worst reputation!

The reason is simple. This film is clearly set in space, yet it still insists on using American political correctness. The main characters must include black people, homosexuals, etc., forcing American values...

Then its plot is also very ordinary and clichéd, and the special effects are not exciting enough. It also has a lot of embedded advertisements, which can be said to be very ugly.

Some viewers couldn't help but suspect that the Chinese film industry was deliberately importing this kind of rubbish "Hollywood blockbusters" to educate Chinese audiences and make them think that American films are terrible...

Of course, this is actually an accident. No matter what, theaters want to make money, so the foreign films they import should have certain commercial value, or be award-winning art films.

Chinese audiences in this world have never blindly kowtowed to foreign films. If it's good, it's good, and of course they are willing to spend money on it. But if it's ugly, don't even think about making money by calling it a "Hollywood blockbuster."

For a mediocre Hollywood blockbuster like this, once its reputation collapses, its box office will immediately plummet, and then the theaters will quickly adjust the screening ratio.

Compared with "Interstellar Odyssey", the reputation of "King of Killers" is actually much better.

Jiang Yancheng, a commercial director, is quite good at making action movies, and he has a good eye for selecting actors, otherwise he would not have chosen Gu Qingge as the heroine of his movie.

Unfortunately, the plot of "King of Killers" is still too mediocre, and there is not much that is eye-catching. This kind of routine and homogenized popcorn action movie is just like the "youth films" that the public has complained about before. Some elements are really bloody.

This kind of work will be considered insincere by picky movie fans and has no value in watching.

If we use online literature as an analogy, "King of Killers" is equivalent to third-rate amateur literature. This kind of literature certainly has a market, but the problem is that there is now a more sincere "Those Years" on the market that redefines "youth film", so why should we still watch "King of Killers"?

As a result, on the second day of its release, "Those Years" easily caught up with the box office. With a screening share of 17.9%, it won a box office of 131.576 million, accounting for 26% of the total box office.

Well, after the second day’s box office figures came out, basically all theaters had already seen the situation clearly.

Movies like "Interstellar Odyssey" and "King of Killers" are nothing but rubbish compared to "Those Years"!

The final box office of "Interstellar Odyssey" is estimated to be only 200 million, and as for "King of Assassins", it is estimated that it can barely get 400 million.

Friends in the "Movie Box Office Bar" have already started to give their opinions -

"Among the movies released this time, 'Those Years' is definitely a dark horse. I think it's very likely to break 1 billion at the box office."

"'King of Killers' is such a disgrace. I still remember the lead actor Wei Gang feeling so good about himself, like he was going to win 'Those Years'. But this is the end?"

"Isn't 'Interstellar Odyssey' even worse? A Hollywood blockbuster? Anti-Hollywood!"

"Gu Qingge's ten-year-long fans have stood up. I think it's fair to say that Gu Qingge alone is carrying the box office for 'Those Years,' right?"

"Please don't bring bad things to Gu Qingge, okay? She herself said that the film's high 'copying content' is why it's so successful. Anyway, I think Xia Ting is indeed a big highlight. He's so funny and has a lot of comedic talent."

…

The first week box office results are out, and "Those Years" topped the list with a box office of 820 million yuan, ranking first in the same period. Maoyan estimates the total box office to be 1.68 billion yuan!

A week later, the screening share of "Those Years" reached as high as 45.4%, and the overall box office share reached as high as 71.9%, which can be said to be the single-handedly carrying the entire box office market!

Later, its highest single-day box office reached 220 million!

The whole network was shocked!

The industry is shocked!

Movies like "King of Assassins" and "Interstellar Odyssey" were completely beaten by "Those Years" in terms of both reputation and box office!

Various entertainment media, self-media, and marketing accounts have begun to praise "Those Years" in various ways, and at the same time mentioned the wealth code and top female star "Gu Qingge", and they want to praise her to the sky!

This film is clearly a typical example of making a small investment for a big return, and its rate of return is too high!

What is the posture of a superstar? A tactical fadeaway...

The total box office of Gu Qingge's debut film is expected to enter the top 50 in China!
