China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 468: July caused a sensation! The Autobots went crazy! No one dared to touch them!

On July 7, the first day box office figures of "Far Cry" were released. This low-budget movie, which cost only three million yuan, recovered its production costs in just one day!
The single-day box office was 7.4 million.

This gave the industry a not-so-small shock.

You have to know that compared with "Wuxia", the box office of this drama only accounted for a low screening rate of more than ten percent. Even with this screening rate, it was at most to give face to Guan Ling, not to the film director Zhong Jichang or Yang Mi.

Because "Hot Girl" is also starred by Yang Mi, and it is Guan Ling's new work.

Moreover, Yang Mi is also an artist under Guan Ling, so the poor box office performance of this movie is not conducive to the subsequent release of "Hot Girls" in theaters, but this result is really surprising.

Today, domestic movie box office has entered an era of crazy growth.

Just like the price of pork, it keeps rising.

As for the recently released movies, "Pretend Couple" made 3000 million in ten days, "God of Wealth Inn" made 5500 million in its first week, and the big-budget "Wu Xia" even made over million in its first week.

However, when the box office of the above-mentioned films is placed in front of "Far Cry", they are immediately killed one by one. In front of "Far Cry", their box office can only be said to be a success, while "Far Cry" can be called a legend!
This is a movie that is not expensive and not very good to be honest.
Just relying on Yang Mi's fan effect, many people in the industry were shocked and speechless.

It also adds a little glimmer to the recent hustle and bustle of the dark clouds covering the city.

"The movie fan effect creates a box office dark horse, 25-year-old Yang Mi creates a miracle in the horror movie box office!"

"Far Cry is a box office success, and Yang Mi's sexy performance is a guarantee of her popularity!"

"Yang Mi's new film Far Cry stood out in the box office wars of the same period, with an attendance rate of 60% beyond the industry's expectations. It is a huge hit!"

"Comparable to Liu Yan in The Shallows, let's compare Liu Yan and Yang Mi!"

"Not as good as Liu Yan. Yang Mi seemed to have breast padding during the performance. Jade Rabbit rarely moved during the entire movie!"

"Did she have plastic surgery? Yang Mi's new film is full of youthfulness. Comparison of old and new photos of the new celebrity in the film industry!"

"With so many works, so many legends, and so many fans, Yang Mi was given the title 'Yang Sanduo'!"

For a while, the discussion about Far Cry was very lively.

The release of the box office figures for the first three days left the industry speechless.

Twenty-four million.

This movie suddenly messed up the entire film market in a way that no one could have predicted.

Many people were confused.

This movie actually earned 2400 million in its first weekend. How does this number compare to "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan", which had a similar first weekend box office but far more investment and publicity?
"Yang Mi is a miracle. She has brought real money to the box office for a low-budget movie with her own fan effect. What is shocking is not the lonely island, but Yang Mi."

"The biggest driving force behind the high box office is a part. Please guess."

"I paid to watch Yang Mi, and I was so happy that my nose was running. If you want to know if it's worth it, stand up straight with your pants."

"It's a thrilling movie, but just because of Yang Mi, I was able to sit in the cinema for such a long time willingly. I admire myself."

The film critics of China Film Channel had previously reviewed "Wuxia". Due to the popularity of "Far Cry", their film critics also made some comments on "Far Cry".

Moreover, this review received a lot of likes and comments on the Internet shortly after it was released.

"Chinese people are in an age of 'need'.

When those films that seem to make life incomplete if you don't watch them have not yet been released, all other films are a kind of diversion. People go to the cinema with various moods, to appreciate, have fun, amuse themselves, be literary, see the people they want to see, or even "count stars".

There is a person in Far Cry that some viewers want to see, and that is Yang Mi. This has nothing to do with Far Cry, as long as Yang Mi is there.

Given the domestic censorship system, how thrilling can a thriller be?

The rest is just sexy beauties and screaming. Is the movie good?

It's not a good look, but you can see Yang Mi's sexy figure, you can see Yang Mi's panic, you can hear Yang Mi screaming in fear, so Yang Mi's fans, the "bees", played a song "Flight of the Bumblebee" and not only rushed into the cinema frantically, but also posted their movie tickets on Weibo to show their loyalty. This also attracted a large number of non-"bee" audiences.

Yang Mi's appeal and the high box office of "Far Cry" are a good sign. She fully proves that there are really idol stars in the booming film industry in China.

Before this, apart from the Feng Xiaogang + Ge You + beautiful women combination who have been fighting for ten years and the now proud and domineering Guan Ling production, who is the real box office guarantee?

Although there have been a large number of films with box office revenues of over 100 million yuan in recent years, there are almost no films whose high box office revenues are purely due to personal factors. Yang Mi is definitely a miracle.

Movies in domestic cinemas nowadays are like pork. Even though the price remains high, pork is a common sight on the table. Whether it tastes good or not depends on how you cook it.

"Snow Flower and the Secret Fan", Murdoch and Wendi Deng put all their efforts into it, appeared in all mainstream columns and magazines, and the publicity was overwhelming, but the box office in the first weekend was only 2400 million.

Is the film bad? Not necessarily. Audiences are diverse and it is hard to predict what their tastes will be.

But a real idol is different. No matter what role she plays in a movie, she is the one that fans flock to.

This is simply a fixed asset that is owned before a movie starts shooting. The domestic film industry has always lacked such fixed assets. Ge Da Ge cannot be considered an idol, but he is a rare beauty.

Can Yang Mi become the next beauty?
Maybe one Far Cry isn't enough to make the point.

Mr. Wen Jun, a famous Hong Kong film and television expert, said it well: Not every low-budget thriller can find the right "Yang Mi". However, thrillers are still somewhat limited. If it were another subject, I believe that Yang Mi would bring more than just 2400 million or 3500 million.

The future of Chinese films will still take a long time.”

……

Just as the industry was evaluating Yang Mi as the biggest reason for the box office success of this movie and a youth miracle in the eyes of all fans, it also triggered many "bees" to talk about it, wanting to take a look at the little mole on Yang Mi's forehead and evaluate whether she was really a stunner.

Yang Mi is hanging out with Guan Ling in the home theater.

Since Yang Mi was too busy with promotion in the past two days, Guan Ling did not summon her.

When she finally had time, Guan Ling freed herself from her busy affairs and had a war of love with Yang Mi.

Home theater, with Far Cry playing.

From time to time, Yang Mi's face would appear in it.

But compared to the scene where the man was wearing a zombie costume with bloodstains on it, Yang Mi outside the cinema had a different style.

Although we haven't seen each other for too long, maybe the scene was too exciting.

The two seemed particularly infatuated.

Although Yang Mi was wearing a bikini and a white T-shirt, looking unusually plain, the bulge did make Guan Ling inexplicably moved.

She was used to seeing celebrities wearing gold and silver, as luxurious as the stars in the sky.

But as long as you take off those stars, most of the faces are similar. The only thing he can remember clearly is that Liu Yifei is very white, Guli Nazha is very slim, Zhao Xiaodao is relatively ordinary, but there is a strange contradiction between being reserved and ready to bloom, Tang Wei is firm and proactive, and Liu Yan, of course, is a sensation.

"I just realized that what I like is not your bikini, nor your zombie costume, nor the horror you show in the movie. It seems that what I like is the emotion that many fans in the cinema are feeling when watching your movie. I just saw your group of 'bees' in the movie."

"How can that group of bees be useful as a guide?"

Yang Mi was already covered in sweat, even her hair was wet with sweat, she looked no different from the movie, the messy feeling was even more charming.

She put her arms around Guan Ling's neck. Her lips were a little dry, so she needed to suck something to keep them moist.

Yang Mi could probably understand Guan Ling's emotions.

And she is the absolute look in the hearts of those bees.

This time, Guan Ling really enjoyed extraordinary excitement.

But Guan Ling was still unhappy.

Soon, the two continued to sink into the zombie world.

The war just stopped.

"This movie is a bit disappointing this time, Director Guan really doesn't feel bad at all?"

After the incident, Yang Mi became a troublemaker.

As soon as the baby voice came out, he started looking for trouble.

"There's a lot of difference between being able to watch but not masturbate, being able to watch and masturbate, and being able to watch everything and masturbate at will."

Yang Mi smiled sweetly,

I couldn't help but lose my voice.

Guan Ling's words did shock her, but when she thought about it, it was indeed true.

"Speaking of which, does my movie 'Far Cry' have a certain impact on the box office of subsequent movies?"

Yang Mi looked up and asked.

"Of course." Guan Ling said, "It's not just for movies, but also for TV series."

He turned around and whispered in Yang Mier's ear, "Baby, you are great. I have been waiting for this opportunity. Now, your "Palace" will become more popular and more explosive."

Yang Mi felt the numbness and snuggled slightly into Guan Ling's arms.

"It's all up to you."

……

The box office of "Far Cry" is still growing wildly, reaching 36 million in five days and breaking the 50 million mark in a week.

Thanks to the support of theater chains in filming and the increase in young audiences during the summer vacation, "Far Cry" still maintains an exceptionally strong box office trend.

The overall trend is no different from that of "The Shallows".

But compared to the reviews of movies, "Far Cry" is far worse. However, as a popular youth idol nowadays, Yang Mi's popularity has caused quite a stir in the industry.

Since "Transformers 3" is scheduled to be released on the 21st, "Far Cry" will probably continue to make huge box office revenue for a while.

Some people predict that this movie will become the second domestic horror movie to break the 100 million yuan box office after "The Shallows".

Previously, due to the popularity of "The Shallows", some people made domestic thrillers, but the results were not good.

Although Guan Ling's horror and beauties gave people ideas when filming, the actresses she chose really made people have little desire to watch the movie.

The Yang Mi incident made the industry realize that sometimes, a movie does not perform well at the box office simply because the right actress was not chosen.

Yang Mi is the most box office-savvy and down-to-earth female star among today's young idols!
At the same time, news about "Palace" spread on the Internet. Noon Sunshine's new TV series, starring Yang Mi, "Palace" was scheduled to be broadcast on Mango TV's summer schedule. The buyout price of 160 million for a single episode made the industry speechless in an instant.

After Yang Mi's price caused a sensation with the help of the movie, the price of the TV series has once again increased the weight of the four words "youth idol", making many filmmakers feel daunted but also tempted.

Throughout the summer, all the news seemed to be shrouded by Yang Mi.

Previously, Guli Nazha’s popularity soared due to the success of “The Beginning”.

Mu Tingting once became the annual box office queen because of "Never Gone".

But their popularity did not last long, and they were soon overtaken by Yang Mi, who instantly sparked major discussions and momentum in the industry with a low-budget thriller movie.

Although the box office of "Wuxia" exceeded 100 million yuan in the first week, it soon fell sharply.

When Chen Kexin used "Wuxia" to explain his martial arts complex, he obviously added a lot of his own understanding.

Especially the shocking final battle at the end of the film, which is full of deconstruction and humor. It is precisely because of this that this film could not be as well received as his previous film "The Siege of the City in October", but fell into the quagmire of polarized discussions.

Some praised the film's innovation; others criticized its casualness.

After all these comments, the film's reputation was undoubtedly affected, and it ultimately received only a very mediocre evaluation.

This evaluation was reflected in the box office, resulting in a mediocre result.

……

At the same time, "Transformers 3" was finally released under the expectations of countless audiences.

The first-day box office of 1.19 million broke the previous first-day box office record of "Never Gone", and the number of moviegoers exceeded two million, which further demonstrated the overwhelming momentum of this movie.

For a moment, the industry was in an uproar!
"A new single-day box office record in mainland China!"

The Autobots silenced the industry instantly.

Chinese filmmakers all looked horrified!
I knew you were strong, but I didn’t expect you to be this strong!
