There are not many movies that have chosen to be released during the New Year's Day period this year, only three in total, "The Accidental Murderer 2", "Desperate Househusbands" and "The Oak Restaurant".
Among them, "Oak Restaurant" is a low-cost, three-no animation, with no popularity, no screenings, and ultimately no box office.
The screening rate on the first day was less than 1%, and a total of 1,408 people watched the movie on New Year's Day, with a total box office of 50,000.
That’s right, it’s not 5 million or 50 million, the national box office is only 50,000 yuan.
The movie was not very famous to begin with, and the producers didn't even do any publicity, so naturally theaters wouldn't schedule it for screening.
If there was no information about this movie on ticket purchasing platforms such as Maoyan, the audience would not know that there was an animated film released during the New Year's Day holiday.
"Desperate Househusbands" is the only comedy movie in this year's New Year's Day period.
The leading actor is Chang Yuan from Happy Twist.
Since "Charlotte's Troubles" became popular, the actors of Happy Twist have starred in many comedy films.
But apart from a few hit films starring Chen Teng and Ma Li, most of them are bad movies.
Chang Yuan has become a professional in bad movies in recent years. His previous starring roles in "Warm Hug" and "The Prince Li Mao" were both terrible movies.
This time, "The Househusband" also could not escape the fate of a bad movie.
The movie tells the story of a straight man who travels to a society dominated by women. He is out of tune with the people and environment around him, which leads to a lot of jokes.
The subject matter and framework are good, and there are similar comedy films abroad.
But the story of "Desperate Househusband" is so poorly made, the plot is messy, the logic is fragmented, and the ending is full of complaints.
There are also some problems with the actors' performances in the play.
Especially the leading actor Chang Yuan.
It’s not that his acting skills are bad. Some actors are suitable for playing the leading role, while some actors are not.
Many people think that comedians don’t have any requirements for appearance.
But in fact, Zhou Xingchi, Chen Teng, Xu Zheng and Sha Yi were all very handsome when they were young.
People like Ge You, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo, who are not handsome, are popular with the audience. Each of them has a unique personality charm.
In the long run, he is far from being the protagonist of a play with his looks and the image he has in the minds of the audience.
So far, his most popular roles have been supporting roles in Shen Teng's dramas, the effeminate role in "Charlotte's Troubles" and the "good judge of character!" role in "The Richest Man in Xihong City."
However, despite its bad reputation, the box office of "Desperate Househusband" was not low, and it took in 120 million in three days on New Year's Day.
All I can say is that this movie picked a good release date.
This is the only comedy among the movies currently showing in theaters, and coupled with strong publicity, it has attracted many audiences to the theaters.
The movie that took the biggest bite out of this year's New Year's Day box office is undoubtedly "The Accidental Murder 2".
After more than a month of intensive promotion, the movie earned 189 million yuan on its first day of release on the 31st, and then earned another 640 million yuan in the three days of New Year's Day, accounting for 58.4% of the total box office of the New Year's Day.
In addition to its high box office, "The Accidental Murder 2" also has a good reputation. Although it is not as high as the first one, it has a Douban score of 7.1.
In addition to these three new films, there were two other movies released in mid-to-late December that achieved good box office results during the New Year's Day period, namely "Avatar: The Way of Water" with a box office of 250 million yuan and the romance film "Miss You" with a box office of 124 million yuan.
The total box office during this year's New Year's Day period was 1.1 billion yuan, not much different from the same period last year.
However, industry insiders can see that the New Year's Day market, like the Lunar New Year market, has been shrinking, and movies that are truly confident in themselves and want to hit the box office have all turned their attention to the Spring Festival market.
【Wei Ming Tian Xia】The boss’s office.
".. The total box office of "The Accidental Detective 2" has reached 1.4 billion yuan in two weeks. Maoyan's box office forecast for the film is 1.8 billion yuan...
The screenwriting department has already started preparing the script for [Manslaughter 3]...
Director Cui Rui returned to the Hainan crew of "Her" after finishing the promotion.
Ni Ni, Li Xian, and Meng Ziyi have also joined the crew in the past few days. Director Cui said that filming can start at any time."
Yang Liwen looked up at her boss after she finished speaking. Gu Wei also understood what she meant and thought for a moment: "It just so happens that everything that needs to be handled in Beijing has been completed. Please arrange a flight for me tomorrow."
“I understand~
One more thing, boss.
Guangguang has asked several times, wanting to know when we plan to start preparing for Detective Chinatown 4.
Gu Wei frowned slightly.
“First, have the screenwriting department prepare the script and show it to me once it’s done.
Polish the script, and then consider preparing for filming."
[Wei Ming Tian Xia] currently has many famous film IPs under its umbrella, including the [Love Saint] series, the [Accidental Detective] series, the animated film [Fengshen] series, and the [Detective Chinatown] series directed by Gu Wei himself.
[Detective Chinatown 3] was released during the 2021 Spring Festival. At that time, it had a domestic box office of 5.8 billion yuan and a global box office of 6.2 billion yuan, setting a box office record for Chinese-language films.
The three co-producers, China Film, Wanda and Light Media, all made a fortune from this movie.
Now two years have passed, and Gu Wei still has not made any preparations for "Detective Chinatown 4". It is understandable that Guangguang is a little anxious.
After finishing work at the company during the day and returning home, Liu Yifei greeted her with a smile on her face.
After the premiere of [Where the Wind Is], she simply moved in with Gu Wei.
I also brought a cat from home.
When Gu Wei goes to work during the day, she stays at home reading books and petting the cat.
The two of them had dinner together, spent some time together, and then watched the two episodes of the TV series that were updated today.
Although Liu Yifei is the leading actress, this is the first time she has seen the finished film.
Since Gu Wei was one of the producers, he had seen some of the TV series after it was completed.
"I watched the news today and saw that the ratings for [Where the Wind is] on Mango TV have already exceeded 3, and Lighthouse, Yunhe and other shows are also leading the charts, showing immense popularity.
Many netizens say that our drama is a hit at the beginning of the year and has already secured the title of the best drama of the year.
Now, the data and popularity of [You Feng] are even higher than my previous [Meng Hua Lu]."
Liu Yifei was watching the TV series that was being played, nestled in Gu Wei's arms, with a white kitten in her arms.
Gu Wei lowered his head and sniffed her hair affectionately.
The original time and space [Where the Wind Is] was also considered a hit drama, but it wasn’t a huge hit.
Limited by the subject matter and broadcast platform, "There's Wind" is quite popular and has high ratings, but its broadcast data is still far from becoming a national hit.
Because of Gu Wei's fame and more effort in publicity, the performance of this version has far surpassed the original.
His fame and popularity are incomparable to Li Xian's. The data generated by fans chasing the drama alone far exceeds that of ordinary dramas.
Coupled with the chemical reaction created by working with Liu Yifei, the two of them created an effect where one plus one is greater than two. The current popularity and various data of "Go Where the Wind Is" have already made it a definite hit.
“One of the drama kings is almost the same.
This year there should be another drama that is no worse than There’s Wind, and it will be released soon.”
"What drama is it?" Liu Yifei turned her head with a curious look on her face.
“A serious drama with an anti-black theme, called [The Storm].
It will be broadcast on CCTV-8 next week."
The real hit drama "Kuang Biao" in the original time and space in 2023 is about to be broadcast. If there is no Gu Wei version of "Go Where There Is Wind", this drama will undoubtedly be the king of dramas this year.
[Kuang Biao] is a joint production of CCTV and iQiyi. The crew initially approached Gu Wei and invited him to play "An Xin" and Zhang Yi to play "Gao Qiqiang".
Of course Gu Wei would not agree, and while refusing, he recommended Zhang Songwen from the real "Gao Qiqiang"'s own company.
In the end, the actors were still the same as the original ones, and Weiming Tianxia also invested some money and became a co-producer.
"【hurricane】?
You are so confident, is this another episode of In the Name of the People? "
"It's about the same. In the Name of the People is about fighting corruption and showing the political wisdom and position-based game in the power struggle.
[Hurricane] has more plot tension, especially the villain is portrayed very well.
You’ll know when it airs in a few days, and it definitely won’t disappoint you.”
"Is this a drama produced by your company?"
"My company is one of the co-producers of iQiyi's drama, and I am listed as a producer." (End of this chapter)
