Chapter 278 has 21% of the screening time and the attendance rate is over 94%!
Although Lao Wan's account has only more than 300,000 followers, he is well-known for his picky taste on Doudou.com.
Many movies cannot withstand his incisive comments.
As a weather vane of Doudou.com, many people in the circle and many fans who love movies soon noticed this film review of less than 500 words.
"What's wrong with Lao Wan? Are you obsessed with watching 'Infernal Affairs'?"
"I've never seen him praise something so much, but he didn't praise it clearly..."
"Aren't you afraid of spoilers?"
"Director Zhang's previous film, 'The Nameless,' had a Doudou rating of 9.1, but he downgraded it to 8.8... Did he take the wrong medicine today?"
"His film review is all I can tell from two words: 'kowtowing'! Where's your backbone, Old Wan? Where's your integrity? Get up and keep lashing out! Daxia Films needs your encouragement!"
"Hahaha, that's right, it's Lao Wan who's really the one who's lashing out and cursing! He's definitely not normal today!"
"Has anyone watched Infernal Affairs?"
"It was only released yesterday morning, I haven't seen it yet..."
"I went to watch Explosion Cop..."
"How about that?"
"It's not bad. The muscle man's output is quite enjoyable to watch during the holiday."
"Then this 'Infernal Affairs'... is there something wrong?"
"What's wrong? They're all cop movies. How can they be so creative and challenge Hollywood?"
"If it was just an ordinary movie, would Lao Wan write it like this? Isn't he afraid of being embarrassed?"
"No, no, Lao Wan gave it 10 points, let's go check it out!"
"...I'll check the tickets online."
After a while, everyone's curiosity was piqued by this vague film review, and they all picked up their phones to start booking tickets.
“!!!”
“No tickets!”
"There's no tomorrow either!"
"Orange Cinema said it's Monday!"
Zhang Li, the general manager of Orange Cinema, was the first to notice something was wrong.
He first participated in the screening of "Infernal Affairs". This movie can be said to have refreshed his understanding of domestic films. If "Explosive Cops" had not been temporarily postponed, he felt that "Infernal Affairs" would definitely have no rivals in the same period.
Although the attendance rate of the first show on the premiere day was 78%, which is very good among domestic films, there is still a gap compared with imported films.
"Explosion Cop" set a single-day box office record of 85 million on the first day, with an attendance rate of 85%.
That is to say, 85% of the seats in one show were full.
At that time, the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers could be heard everywhere!
During the holidays, young people basically go out in droves.
Just when he was lamenting that "Infernal Affairs" was a bit untimely.
After the first game, many young people rushed out and headed straight to the front desk.
"Are there any seats left for the next screening of 'Infernal Affairs'?"
"Yes, it opens at 7am."
"Why is the timing so bad?"
How could it not be bad? All the good scenes were given to "Explosion Cop".
"There are still seats available at 2pm, but they're on the edge."
"Okay, I'll take this one, two!"
"I want one too!"
"You guys have too few schedules, and the timeframe is bad. Hurry up and add more. This movie is going to be a hit!"
“Is it so beautiful?”
"The best police movie I've ever seen, oh no, the best Daxia movie."
Zhang Li fell into deep thought as he watched the group of young people scrambling for tickets.
I began to doubt whether my understanding of "Infernal Affairs" was not clear enough?
"Is this a second viewing?!"
But it’s only the first day, it’s too early, let’s wait and see.
Soon, the box office figures for the opening day came out.
"Infernal Affairs," screening schedule: 21%. Single-day box office: 38 million yuan; single-day box office ranking: 2nd; attendance rate: 78%.
On the other hand, "Explosion Cop" has been released for more than a week and still maintains very stable data.
"Explosion Cop," screening schedule: 35%. Single-day box office: 65 million yuan; single-day box office ranking: 1; attendance rate: 72%, total box office: 490 million yuan.
"Infernal Affairs" is quite good and can be said to be a very eye-catching film among domestic films. If there were not such a strong opponent here, it would probably have taken the lead.
When Lin Shao saw the data, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"This "Infernal Affairs" is really good!"
Generally speaking, it is good enough for a new director to have one or two representative works. Who can make every work both critically and commercially successful?
When it comes to movies, the right time, place and people are extremely important.
The script, crew, technology, actors, investment, and publicity are all indispensable. There are too many uncertainties, and if anything goes wrong, the film will fail.
Who can make every movie a hit?
What's more, the film they are competing against is an imported action movie.
Moreover, Wukong had just directed "Once Upon a Time in China". He thought at the time that it was a miracle for a new director to be able to perform to this level. If every film became a hit, was he dreaming?
He even felt that his father was too emotional in changing the schedule. He went through so much trouble for such a small fry, as if the public looked up to them.
When the first day premiere data came out, it turned out that "Infernal Affairs" was quite strong!
If this data didn't have Explosion, wouldn't it be even stronger?!
But it's not yet to the point where they need to do anything deliberately.
"Explosion Cop" is a movie that can make at least 2 billion.
However, with the recommendation of many fans in the circle, word of mouth gradually fermented, and this whirlwind of undercover PK between police and criminals has just begun.
The premiere was a success, and the crew began promoting and promoting the film.

With large-scale publicity and great reputation, as well as shocking comments from many film critics, the topic of "Infernal Affairs" became a hot topic.
The next day, to everyone's anticipation, the box office figures came out.
"Infernal Affairs," screening schedule: 21%. Single-day box office: 45 million yuan; single-day box office ranking: 2nd; attendance rate: 94%, total box office: 83 million yuan.
“!!!”
“Wasn’t it only 38 million yesterday?”
“Yes, 4500!”
"With 21% of the screenings scheduled, the attendance rate reached 94%!"
"Isn't this Infernal Affairs a bit scary?"
"That's pretty scary!"
"Yesterday many people were saying that it might open high and close low..."
"Explosion Cop," screening schedule: 35%. Single-day box office: 64 million yuan; single-day box office ranking: 1; attendance rate: 71%, total box office: 550 million yuan.
“The advantages of Explosion are still there…”
"What a joke! How can a movie that Hollywood can make $800 million be bad?"
"A movie like 'Explosion' won't fail!"
"That's right. I think it's no problem to fight against our own people, but fighting against Hollywood is like a farm truck fighting a tank. Don't be so unrealistic!"
"I advise you not to speak so soon. Have you seen 'Infernal Affairs'? You're just blindly praising foreigners!"
"You guys should check the Doudou rating first!"
Some of them were furious and opened their Doudou to see how they could be so self-righteous.
The result is that...
Infernal Affairs, Genre: Police, Crime. Popularity: 85%, Rating: 9.7
