Huayu started from the fairy sword

On January 1, "People on the Journey" won 3 million box office with 25% of the film schedule, and the total box office reached 680 million yuan.

On January 1th, the Hollywood blockbuster "Avatar" came to the mainland. With nearly 4% of the film schedule, it won 50 million box office and became the single-day box office champion.

With the release of "Avatar", Cao Jun's "People on the Journey" theater lineup also dropped from 25% to 10%, and only won a mere 280 million box office.

Seeing this film schedule and the single-day box office results, Cao Jun knew very well that the general trend of "On the Journey" is over, and it is difficult to make a big breakthrough, and it is time for "Avatar" next.

In fact, not only "People on the Journey" has no power to fight, all other domestic films, even other foreign films, are all cannon fodder in front of "Avatar".

It is worth mentioning that, as the director of "Avatar", James Cameron created a global box office myth of 12 billion US dollars with "Titanic" as early as 18 years ago.

This comeback, "Avatar" was released worldwide in just 17 days, with a box office of more than 10 billion US dollars, becoming the fifth movie in history with a box office of more than 10 billion US dollars.

Released in mainland China for 3 days, the box office exceeded 2.83 million yuan, and the box office in the first week was as high as [-] million yuan. It has become the fastest-growing movie in the history of the mainland.

"Have you watched "Avatar", have you bought a ticket, is it the IMAX-3D version?"

In the streets and alleys, people can be heard talking about the magical film "Avatar" at any time.

After 12 days of release, the global box office was nearly 2.8 billion US dollars, and the box office in mainland China was as high as 25 million yuan in the first week, directly dominating the Chinese film market. To less than 10% left.

The commotion caused by "Avatar" is far more than that. There is even a saying on the Internet that "Avatar" tickets are hard to find like the Spring Festival travel season."

In various post bars and forums, you can find the "Avatar" movie viewing manual summarized by everyone, and even a detailed analysis of the best time to go to the toilet when watching "Avatar".

Netizens also spoofed celebrity PS, Li Yuchun and others into Na'vi people. Even singer Eason Chan couldn't help feeling: "In Xiangjiang, you can't see any other movies except "Avatar" at all!"

In front of "Avatar", the big stars in the weekdays have also become devout "fans".

Han Han scored a perfect score after watching the film, and the director Lu Chuan "worships" the film even more. In his blog, he also revealed that Jiang Zhiqiang, the owner of the theater company, lost a word after watching "Avatar" :

"The director of "2012" watched "Avatar" and only kowtowed."

In addition, Gu Tianle, Wu Zhoutong, Ai Dai and other celebrities also expressed their incomparable love for "Avatar" in their blogs.

The blue craze caused by "Avatar" swept all over the country. Fans from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi "grouped" to Shanghai, Yangcheng, and Shenzhen. Fans drove to Dongguan to see the IMAX-3D "Avatar".

In Dongguan, Guangfu Province, some theaters even burned out the machines because of the continuous screening of "Avatar".

Due to the over-intensive screenings of the film, the film of "Avatar" was burned, and the IMAX playback equipment was also severely damaged. The audience angrily demanded a refund, and the theater manager knelt down twice to appease the public outrage.

This is definitely a rare thing in a future where the growth rate of theaters is soaring and watching movies is very easy.

In short, for a while, people's lives were filled with these blue aliens.

Even Xu Zheng, the leading actor of "On the Journey", no longer cared about the box office of "On the Journey", but was full of expectations for the 3D blockbuster "Avatar", so he asked Cao Jun to go to the theater to watch this movie.

Cao Jun thought that he hadn't gone out for a walk like a normal person for a long time, and taking advantage of the fact that it was winter and everyone was tightly wrapped up so that it would not be easy to be recognized, he agreed to Xu Zheng's invitation.

Although it has been a week since the release of "Avatar", Cao Jun and Xu Zheng, who are fully armed, visited three theaters with giant screens in the capital and found that the popularity of "Avatar" has not diminished at all, and there are still a large number of audiences.

There are even many viewers who are willing to wait in line for 3 hours in the temperature of minus 10 degrees in order to buy the movie tickets for the IMAX-3D version of "Avatar".

October 1, 11:17.

When Cao Jun and Xu Zheng came to Shuangan Huaxing Cinemas, the cinema hall was already full of people queuing up to buy tickets. Facing the long line of buying tickets, a lady at the end of the line said to others boredly: "I'll come for half a day." It's almost 3 minutes, and I haven't got the tickets yet, so I don't expect to see the IMAX-[-]D version of "Avatar" anymore."

"What are you? I came to line up at 12 noon. In fact, I have watched "Avatar" a few days ago, but it is the normal version. I think it is very shocking, and the special effects are amazing, so I bought IMAX again today. - 3D movie tickets, I think the normal version is so good-looking, it would be a pity if you don't watch the giant screen 3D!"

The five girls in the same dormitory who have already bought tickets for "Avatar" also expressed the same opinion, "If it looks good and it is worth the price, we want to watch it again. We have never had the experience of queuing up to buy movie tickets before. , this time for "Avatar", I have to go crazy!"

A student surnamed Zhang even pointedly said, “It’s a fashion now. To borrow a slogan, if you don’t watch "Avatar", you will be out. Now people around me are discussing Cameron and "Avatar". If you don’t watch it, you have nothing to talk about with them. I didn’t know much about this movie beforehand, and I don’t think it’s necessary. It’s the last word to watch it in theaters, and then I’ll know what’s so good about other people’s movies!”

In fact, the IMAX-3D hall of Huaxing Film City is showing "Avatar" almost 1/17. Even so, the tickets for the IMAX-3D version of "Avatar" before January [-], except midnight, all screenings are sold out. All sold out.

"I've been waiting in line for three days, and I can finally buy a ticket today."

"..."

When Cao Jun learned from the crowd that all the tickets for the IMAX-3D version of "Avatar" had been sold out, even if he queued up to get the tickets, it would take a week before he could see them. Old Xu, it’s up to you to read it, I won’t read it, I’m going back.”

Xu Zheng was in a hurry, and hurriedly whispered: "Hey, don't, it's already here, you finally come out, just stick with me for a while longer,"

Cao Jun replied: "No, I don't want to watch it. I have to wait another week. What a fart to watch. If I had known this, I would have asked someone to line up to buy tickets for me."

Xu Zheng also thought it was reasonable. Now that he bought the tickets, he would have to wait another week to see them. At that time, he might not have time, so he also backed down, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, then we won't queue up. , let’s come again when there are fewer people.”

Cao Jun nodded and said, "Let's go, go to my house for dinner and some wine by the way."

Xu Zheng replied: "Let's go to my house. It just so happens that your sister Tao Hong is also here. Let her cook for us."

Hearing Xu Zheng mention Xiao Tao Hong, Cao Jun also became interested. He still likes Xiao Tao Hong's cooking skills very much, so he said straightforwardly: "Okay, then let's go."

After confirming that Cao Jun was going to her house for dinner, Xu Zheng immediately called Xiao Taohong: "Xiao Cao is going to our house for dinner later, you are going to order food and drink, we will go back soon."

Little Tao Hong on the other end of the phone heard that Cao Jun was also here, and she was inexplicably looking forward to and joyful, but she didn't want to show it in front of Cao Jun, so she pretended not to be happy and said, "Got it, I'll prepare right away, I'm so bored." ,"

Thirty minutes later, Cao Jun and Xu Zheng came to his house together.

As soon as he entered the door, Cao Jun saw little Tao Hong wearing an apron, holding a plate of meat dishes, dressed like a woman from a good family, without the posture of a female star, but not lacking in femininity, just four words: expensive is true .

Seeing Cao Jun and Xu Zheng coming back, little Tao Hong greeted with a smile: "Come on, go and wash your hands, and dinner will be served right away!"
