Both of these films originally belong to niche categories. With such results, they are the two films with the highest first-day box office in the past five years, and they have received rave reviews online.
As for the two DreamWorks films.
"The Mermaid" grossed 130 million yuan on the first day. Although this figure is far less than that of "The Swordsman", it is within Lu Hao's estimation range.
After all, "The Swordsman" is a pioneering work, and this "The Mermaid" can only be regarded as following the trend, and it is its own style, and it was not directed by Lu Hao himself.
Such box office revenue is worthy of Qian Hong’s efforts and the quality of the film itself.
And the other one.
Cao Gan's "The Woman Tied with Iron Chains and Exposed Necklace in the Mud House" did not have a very high box office on the first day, only 47 million, less than 50 million.
To some extent, it was lower than his psychological expectations.

In the eyes of some demanding audiences, if a director has not made any progress, he or she is already considered a failure. They go to see a film with high expectations, but in the end their expectations are dashed, which directly leads to a low rating.
Compared to "Roadside Picnic" which has a score of 9.2, this movie's score is only 8.1.
In fact, Lu Hao could accept this result.
I just don’t know if Cao Gan himself can accept it.
Lu Hao understood his character very well. Although he seemed taciturn and spoke to everyone in a friendly manner, he was actually noble and proud, a type of literary youth. He liked to dwell on trivial matters and compete with himself.
Especially after the success of the first movie, my self-expectations reached a very high level.
And now…
However, Lu Hao was not going to say anything to him.
We are all adults.
Issues regarding values cannot be taught by others.
