Chapter 881 How Did It Break Through 100 Million?
To say that the whole country is shocked is to say that the whole country is really shocked!
Well-informed media from all walks of life have been paying attention to the box office of "Red Sorghum" on Sunday. In the middle of the night, the box office was counted here, and in less than half an hour, all the media had already grasped the box office information .
After being taken aback, he took the time to adjust the typesetting level reserved for him, and at the same time, he took the time to write the manuscript. At the same time, all the media, especially the newspapers, will not forget to take the time to inform him to cooperate closely with him overnight film critics and columnists.
As a news media, of course, they will choose to report the news event of "Red Sorghum" box office explosion at the first time, but at the same time, how much space can be occupied by just reporting the news itself, plus bragging?
After all, digging out topics from the news is the only way to increase the attention and sales of newspapers.
As for the topic this time, it's easy to dig!
Because the box office of "Red Sorghum" suddenly exploded, it was already a topic of discussion!
Not more than half an hour after various media received the news, the news that "Red Sorghum" had a box office of 134.65 million in its first week was posted on the Internet by well-informed people.
Then, it spread rapidly in various forums.
Li Qian's fans and movie fans applauded and applauded loudly, but the editors and writers of various media immediately turned their attention to some other posts.
As a literary film, how could "Red Sorghum" have such a high box office?
This question has been asked in the hearts of many people at once!
Especially for many reporters and editors who have been engaged in reporting film and entertainment news for many years, they were also immediately attracted by this part of the discussion on the Internet.
Yes, it's just a literary film, how could it explode to such an extent at the box office?
So... here comes the topic!
…………
The next day, March 19th, early in the morning, various newspapers came out one after another.
The box office of "Red Sorghum" broke out, with a box office of 134.65 million in the first week, and it has undoubtedly become the headline of today's major newspapers or the headlines of the cultural and entertainment sections.
In the manuscripts of the report, almost all the newspapers were either amazed and highly praised the historic box office performance of "Red Sorghum" as a literary film, or they all questioned: As a literary film, "" How is it possible and how did Red Sorghum achieve such a high box office?
Then, the advantages were enumerated one by one and overthrown one by one.
Three Silver Bears and one Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival?
Yes, this definitely has a bonus, and the bonus is obvious!
But relying on this alone, not to mention the astonishing box office of 134.65 million in the first week, it is already very remarkable if it can exceed 50 million-or the same sentence, this is a literary film that is destined not to be too popular!
Moreover, whether you admit it or not, whether it is the Berlin Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, or the Venice Film Festival, because the domestic media has not reported it very much for many years, so although it is the most famous three major European films The three major film festivals with high standards are not very familiar to the common people and movie audiences in China.
Qin Wei won the award in Venice, and of course there was a wave of reports in China, and Qin Wei was immediately promoted to the supreme master throne. Li Qian won the award, and everyone hastened to popularize what is going on at the Berlin Film Festival. Popular science What is the Golden Bear Award, what is the Silver Bear Award, and how and to whom these two awards were awarded in the past, so as to confirm and explain how "Red Sorghum" won this time? What a great cow, but in the end, it's just grinding the gun!
The reason why such an introduction and popular science is needed is precisely because if you don’t popularize it, everyone will not understand where the excitement is at all!
In this case, if you simply brag that a certain movie has won an international award, the common people will definitely go to the cinema to buy tickets when they return to China?
Give me a break!
Then, Li Qian's box office appeal is amazing?
This definitely makes sense.
Needless to say, Li Qian's own popularity is unmatched in the domestic entertainment and show business circles, and... the first international film festival winner in China!
This forceful style is equivalent to adding a layer of glittering gold to Li Qian's already unrivaled powerful popularity. It looks so golden that no one can match it!
However, a literary film, with only one star, can provoke an astonishing box office of over 100 million in the first week?
Not to mention China, even in the United States, in Hollywood, you let Jerry Cullen star in a movie, he is not so good - there is no precedent at all!
As for the heroine... Qin Jingjing herself, because of her outstanding and rare beauty, has such a small place in China's film and television and entertainment circles.
After all, he debuted as Diao Chan in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!
But do you expect her, a third-tier actress who hasn't made any decent works in the past many years, and hasn't even acted in a movie heroine, to play the box office and attract the audience?
Big joke!
Then, about the movie itself.
The story...is not ugly. Compared with other literary movies whose stories are often so obscure that people feel drowsy, "Red Sorghum" basically tells a great story beautifully.
But the problem is, there are many directors of literary films who can tell stories!
Among other things, director Zhang Zifangzhang is a typical director of niche literary films who can tell stories. But as a result, she has made so many movies over the years, and none of them has grossed over 100 million yuan!
So, how could it break through 100 million in the first week?
It just doesn't make sense!
However, no matter how these writers analyze, in the end, they still have to admit: the reality is that the box office of "Red Sorghum" was 134.65 million in the first week!
It really broke through 100 million historically!

"Tsk tsk...it's amazing!"
Monday, March 19, at 10:00 am.
Oriental Media Group, Chairman's Office.
Zhou Yanghua read the documents seriously on the desk, while Du Weiyun sat on the sofa, crossing his legs comfortably. The coffee table smelled fragrant.
To be able to stay so comfortably in Zhou Yanghua's office, there are hundreds of people in the entire Oriental Media Group, and there is only one Du Weiyun.
Similar to the relationship between Qin Weizhi and Hu Fei, who made Du Weiyun the signature of Oriental Media Group.
Zhou Yanghua looked up at him from time to time, and then looked back.
He knew what Du Weiyun was looking at - the box office of "Red Sorghum" captured the headlines of almost all newspapers early this morning.
After all, a literary film is nothing, and a well-made literary film is nothing, but a literary film has won four awards at the Berlin Film Festival, so it is a root vegetable. Won more than 130 million box office, topped the box office list, this is even more intolerable for any super big news that the relevant media does not pay attention to.
If you include the news disclosed to the media by Minghu Culture, the sales of this film's distribution rights buyout authorization in various film markets around the world have exceeded 47 million US dollars, and it is still increasing. There is no doubt that the popularity of "Red Sorghum" has exceeded a certain threshold!
Any individual event, once it surpasses the threshold that limits itself, its influence will definitely go far beyond the normal scope of the event itself, and even reach a level of astonishment!
Therefore, a film like "Red Sorghum" has been extremely popular recently, and now it has won the box office of 134.65 million in the first week in one fell swoop. If any newspaper does not report it, it must be left behind!
This obviously made Du Weiyun who was reading the newspaper very greedy.
Whether it is Qin Wei or Du Weiyun, they all started from art films back then. Internationally speaking, Du Weiyun's reputation and influence are far inferior to Qin Wei's. Domestically, they are only slightly inferior. He is also regarded as a master director of domestic films, but in fact, although Du Weiyun made a series of historical and martial arts films in the early years, although he failed to win international awards, he has won numerous trophies and praises in China. , Those movies have long been regarded as masterpieces of the perfect combination of commerciality and artistry!
But even he, who has dominated the domestic film industry for many years, has never won even one first-week box office of over 100 million!
And now, "Red Sorghum", a literary film with a small investment, has actually exceeded 100 million in the first week!
How could he not be envious!
At the desk, Zhou Yanghua heard Du Weiyun always muttering there, and finally couldn't help but put down the document, and said, "Okay, Lao Du, if you are greedy, then I will do a good job of publicity, and wait for the "Guyan in the Desert" "is released, surpass him!"
Du Weiyun raised his head and smiled, with a relaxed and comfortable look, speaking in a strange Mandarin with a Hunan accent, "It's a must to surpass him!"
After a pause, he continued, "If the first week doesn't break the 100 million mark, my boss will lose his underwear!"
Zhou Yanghua couldn't laugh or cry.
Originally, when he came to the office this morning and saw the newspaper, he was really in a good mood, but at this time, after being made such a joke by Du Weiyun for a while, he felt less useless.
So he simply dropped the materials, got up and came over, and said as he walked, "I think you have finished editing the film, are you free?"
Du Weiyun laughed, and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door in the office.
Zhou Yanghua went over to sit down and shouted, "Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and Xiong Chengchao walked in quickly, and said, "Chairman, the box office statistics for the previous week have been made at the cinema, can you take a look?"

Wait for the second chapter!
