When Zhang Yaya called Shen Huan, the boy and Buyiyi had just finished watching the movie and were about to drive home.
Buyiyi's home was originally in Shizhong District, but in order to avoid encountering many people in the movie theater, she deliberately found a movie theater in a remote place to watch movies.
The name of the movie is "囧".
right.
It was Shen Huan who gave Zhang Huawei the comedy film produced and distributed by Abao Entertainment.
Yang Feng was so confident in Shen Huan that he didn't even consider that the movie would be a hit.
As early as early January, the publicity about "Thailand" was overwhelming. Whether it was online platforms, TV platforms, or newspapers and magazines, Abao Entertainment spent a lot of money on advertising.
Preliminary estimates from industry insiders suggest that Abao Entertainment’s promotional expenses alone will be at least 200 million yuan this time.
Coupled with production costs, sharing fees for Shen Huan, etc., if this movie does not have a box office of more than 900 million yuan, it will definitely be a loss.
But how many movies are currently the number one box office hit in China
Last year, Chen Hao's "Operation Condor" took in 850 million yuan.
Of course, if you have to say that directors such as Hao He, Wang Mu, Yan Shan, etc. can have loyal audiences overseas, then adding Shanghai's overseas box office, maybe it can reach the standard.
But the problem is that among the six top-tier directors in China, only Zhang Huawei's box office depends entirely on domestic revenue.
Because he is good at shooting comedies, the best jokes and the most hilarious jokes can only be understood by domestic people.
As early as more than ten years ago, after several domestic best-selling movies failed at the box office abroad, Zhang Huawei gave up the idea and concentrated on domestic business.
Therefore, it is almost an impossible task for "囧" to be able to make back its money by relying on domestic box office alone.
But Yang Feng didn't care about this.
He was thinking of Zheng Rongrong three years ago.
At that time, Zheng Rongrong dared to spend 300 million in domestic promotion expenses for the little-known "Love Letter".
Love letters from that time
The story category is literary film.
Director Zhu Mei, second-tier literary director
Screenwriter Chu Liuxiang has never heard of it.
Starring Han Donger, Chen Qian, Guo Hang and Shen Huan, apart from Han Donger who is somewhat famous in the singing industry, Chen Qian is just a third-rate actor.
With such a lineup, Zheng Rongrong dared to spend 300 million.
Could it be that now that it is replaced by one of China's top six directors Zhang Huawei, the best actor Ma Xing, and China's number one gold medal writer and screenwriter Chu Liuxiang, it is still a comedy that Chinese people love to see, and Yang Feng and Yang Daxia still dare not spend money
In fact, Boss Yang did not prepare 200 million at all. There is still a budget of 100 million starting from the day of release, and all of it will be used up within 7 days.
Yang Feng definitely doesn't expect to make a lot of money from the movie "囧".
But "囧" must have a good reputation and must break into the top ten, preferably the top five, of the box office rankings. Only then can his Abao Entertainment be proud and proud.
Because of previous failures, Abao Entertainment was ridiculed to the point of being ridiculed.
Now is the time for him, Yang Feng, to take revenge!
What was the outcome
It's actually pretty good.
At least that's the state of readiness.
Because it is a powerful combination of Zhang Huawei, Chu Liuxiang, and Ma Xing, and there are so many publicity expenses, it is still a popular comedy during the Chinese New Year, and many theaters are willing to schedule films for it.
At least one hall plays 6 games a day.
On the first day of release, it was only 5 p.m., and Abao Entertainment was flooding the entire network.
"Warmly celebrate that "囧" has exceeded 100 million yuan in box office, becoming the fastest movie to break 100 million yuan in box office!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw the news.
Before "囧", China's first-run box office record was held by "The Gift of Room No. 7".
Countless literary and artistic young people flocked to the cinema on the first day and watched the three movie screenings that officially started in the evening.
At that time, "The Gift of Room 7" only had a box office of 43 million on the first day.
Even if you say it was only released for less than half a day, multiply it by two and it will be the same as the 6 shows of "囧囧", which is still 86 million!
But "囧囧" exceeded 100 million at just 5 p.m.!
Even if the later online pre-sales are included, there is no problem at all in getting another ten to twenty million at the end of the day.
Therefore, this box office record is really too high.
Yang Feng himself also posted a smiley face and a cheering image on his meager post.
This means that Boss Yang is happy and full of expectations for the follow-up of "囧囧".
Shen Huan and Buyiyi didn't go to see "囧囧" because of its good box office performance.
The two of them had already planned to go on a movie date on New Year's Day.
In Buyiyi’s words, “If you fall in love without walking on the street or watching movies, what does that mean?”
When they entered, a group of young people and three families walked out of the screening room with smiles.
When they came out, everyone was in the same situation.
Shen Huan watched "囧 in Thailand" seriously with relish.
In the original version, actor Huang's acting skills are definitely very good, but Lao Xu's performance is a bit underpowered, and Baobao is the opposite, he exerts too much power.
It is only after "Detective Chinatown" that the baby can change a lot and make a lot of progress.
After Lao Xu continued to practice his acting skills, it was in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" that he reached the level of proficiency.
Zhang Huawei's version of "囧" is different.
Even though he took Shen Huan's script, he didn't create too many exaggerated jokes. Instead, he used Ma Xing's cold humor more on the main line.
The result was quite good. While the audience laughed out loud at the other two protagonists' outrageous material, they were also made to laugh knowingly by Ma Xing's dry humorous performance.
Sure enough, as everyone said, Zhang Huawei's movies are only suitable for release in China.
Ma Xing, who is the biggest joker in the film, makes various jokes and jokes that only Chinese people will laugh at, and others will not understand.
"Haha, Wang Bao is so funny!"
"Ma Xing's performance is even better. I have been amused by him several times. The more I think about it, the more I want to laugh."
"Don't you think our Yang Kaixin is also very powerful? Just the scene of his appearance in the elevator can make us laugh out loud."
"No, I have to watch a movie tomorrow, and I have to slowly reflect on it! This movie is so enjoyable!"
"Of course, it's all because of the good script. Teacher Chu Liuxiang has never let us down!"
"That's right! Has Teacher Chu fallen in love recently? You saw "The Pursuit of Happiness", it actually had a comedy ending, and now it's even a comedy! It totally moved me and I don't know what to say!"
"Hey, your point of view is very novel, why didn't I think of it?"
“…”
Listening to everyone's comments when they came out, Buyiyi smiled unconsciously.
She put her little hand on Shen Huan's and let the man hold her hand tightly.
This feeling of falling in love is so good!
