"7 Million Yuan in Three Days: Bruce Lee Completely Dominates the Charts, Paying Tribute to a Grandmaster!"

With a Starry Night rating of 9.0+ and total box office exceeding 7 million yuan, *Bruce Lee* has rewritten Chinese film history!

"The Forbidden Kingdom" suffers critical failure; the reunion of Jacky Cheung and Jason Statham fails to deliver a box office flop during the Lunar New Year season!

Chen Yu: The True King of Kung Fu!

The Spring Festival film season is explosive! Total box office revenue has exceeded 12 billion yuan in just 3 days!

……

Kill crazy!

Bruce Lee was absolutely phenomenal during the 08 Chinese New Year film season!
It bombarded the entire Spring Festival with an unstoppable momentum.

Keep in mind that only three days after the Spring Festival, the film grossed a whopping 700 million yuan in just three days!

It's simply a box office powerhouse.

It's more explosive than any of Chen Yu's previous films.

Reputation, box office, ratings... all have reached new highs.

Everyone thought that Chen Yu's previous film was the highest record in Chinese film history. No one expected that he would break his own record with every film he made.

This unfathomable strength has already made everyone in the entire Chinese entertainment industry tremble.

Who else?
Even Jackie Chan and Jet Li combined are no match for him?!

Of course, this also depends on the quality of the film.

"The Forbidden Kingdom" is indeed terrible. If it had a score of 9, it could probably have gone toe-to-toe with "Bruce Lee".

But now, everyone can only look up to them.

This is a level that even the other three works combined cannot match.

As for the main topic, Chen Yu, hand in hand with Liu Yifei, appeared in the VIP lounge of Beijing International Airport.

The three-day holiday is over.

They are about to embark on the new year.

He went to North America to attend the premiere of "Bruce Lee".

Liu Yifei's fingers were scrolling through her phone, engrossed in reading the news.

The online comments immediately surprised and delighted her.

"Honey, how are you so amazing~~~"

Liu Yifei rubbed Chen Yu's face, making funny faces, and occasionally leaned in to kiss him; she was incredibly cute.

To be honest, Liu Yifei herself was also somewhat intimidated.

They raked in 7 million in just 3 days!
How did this guy do it?!

"From the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, in just three days, Bruce Lee actually grossed 7 million yuan at the box office?"

"I still feel like I'm in a dream!"

Upon hearing his wife's exclamation, Chen Yu looked over arrogantly and asked, "How about it? Aren't you completely captivated by your husband?"

"Shame on you!"

boom!
Liu Yifei punched Chen Yu squarely in the chest.

She's the only one allowed to say such things.

Why are you so talkative?!
However, despite saying that, Liu Yifei was still happy for Chen Yu when she saw the success of "Bruce Lee".

A new record has been set for the fastest Chinese film to surpass 7 million yuan in box office revenue.

That was Chen Yu's "Bruce Lee".

Moreover, he also holds the record for the fastest breakthrough of 1 million, 2 million, and 3 million.

Chen Yu smiled beside him; this was only three days.

The seven-day Spring Festival holiday is over, but the real box office surge is just around the corner.

have to say.

The internet in China recently has been completely dominated by Chen Yu.

Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, it has been constantly finding new ways to trend on social media.

The popularity of "Bruce Lee" is absolutely unprecedented.

As a result, the other three works seem to have relatively low viewership.

Liu Yifei scrolled through the film reviews.

This time, "Bruce Lee" truly achieved widespread acclaim online, with countless people recommending it to their family members, relatives, and friends to see in theaters.

And what follows is—

The reputation of "The Forbidden Kingdom" has completely collapsed!

It's even more terrifying than the previous life!
You should know, there was no Bruce Lee in the previous life!
Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

Especially now, reporters from major media outlets are eager to stir up trouble and are comparing the two works.

Chen Yu moved closer to Liu Yifei.

Naturally, I saw some comments circulating online.

In the previous life, because there was no reference to "Bruce Lee", "The Forbidden Kingdom" was at most just a bad movie criticized and complained about by netizens.

It's merely mediocre, not terrible.

But in this life, under the stark contrast and highlighting of "Bruce Lee," all the problems are magnified infinitely.

Most importantly, Liu Yifei wasn't even in it; all the guns were pointed at the other main actors.

Whether it's the first on-screen showdown between Jet Li and Jackie Chan.

The entire narrative structure of the film has been heavily criticized by netizens.

"It's a complete mess!"

"Jiang Yiyan, I beg you, please don't come here and ruin the film industry anymore, okay?"

"A monumental production? This is the monumental production that Huayi Brothers has been promoting?"

"I think it's a massive, utterly ridiculous production."

"..."

These are the most direct evaluations of "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Even the popularity of the two kung fu superstars couldn't save "The Forbidden Kingdom" from its ratings and box office.

Liu Yifei clicked on Starry Sky Network.

The negative reviews for "The Forbidden Kingdom" are so numerous that they can't all be deleted.

At the same time, the most frightening thing is the comparison. While "Bruce Lee" is receiving widespread praise online, the comments here are even more appalling.

The ratings are plummeting every day.

It has plummeted from 5.9 to 4.8 in just three days.

"Hey~~~"

"Brother Long is really ruining his reputation in his later years!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Jackie Chan and Jet Li are both senior figures in the entertainment industry, and they can be considered among the most successful Chinese artists to have broken into Hollywood.

However, this work was criticized by netizens.

In contrast, the popularity of "Bruce Lee" is a prime example.

This is not only reflected in box office revenue, but also in the continued positive word-of-mouth.

Netizens have been giving it rave reviews.

"This is no longer just an ordinary biographical film; it also showcases the spirit of Chinese martial artists."

"Now I finally know what the King of Kung Fu is. Thank you Chen Yu, and thank you Bruce Lee."

"There is no harm without comparison."

"I've read both works. One is like wine, intoxicating to the senses, while the other is like excrement, utterly repulsive."

The netizens' comments are so ridiculous that they can't help but laugh and cry.

Meanwhile, the rating for "Bruce Lee" on Starry Sky Network had risen from 8.8 at the time of its release to 9.

9 points!
You should know that the ratings on Starry Sky Network are very strict.

Bad movies get extremely low scores, so Chen Yu's new film can directly reach 9 points, which is not just a good film, but a classic.

Although Chen Yu himself felt that the score was actually somewhat inflated.

His personal score should be 8.5!

However, the incompetent teammates kept providing assists, which made it possible for the movie to have an even higher score.

Currently, there are very few Chinese-language films with a rating of over 9 points on Starry Sky Network.

There are fewer than 100 of them on the entire internet.

The film ranked first, "The Shawshank Redemption," only scored 9.5 points.

This is enough to prove the value of "Bruce Lee" reaching a score of 9 within three days of its premiere.

Although Chen Yu's films rarely receive low ratings, this moment still elicited cheers from the entire internet. A score of 7 or higher is already considered the standard for a good film.

Reaching a score of 9 is definitely a testament to the overwhelming positive reviews.

In other words, "Bruce Lee" entered the top 100 of Starry Sky Network as soon as it was released, ranking exactly 74th.

This film has a very good chance of breaking into the top 50 or even the top 20 of film history.

Clearly, they've moved beyond just looking at scores.

They value the quality of the work more.

"Bruce Lee" was able to attract a large number of netizens' ratings in a short period of time, and the scores were consistent and high.

This proves that the work perfectly suits the tastes of most viewers.

Whether it's Bruce Lee or Chen Yu.

They all did it!

It has earned the trust of all Chinese people.

Especially among all films released in the same period, it stands out from the crowd.

There are absolutely no rivals.

"Dangdangdang——"

"Aren't you happy with such a high score?"

Liu Yifei pushed the phone towards Chen Yu, gesturing for him to look at the numbers on it.

The two of them had already seen the score for "Bruce Lee" yesterday.

Chen Yu was clearly in a good mood when he noticed that the score had risen to 9 points.

After all, the work "Bruce Lee" did not exist in the previous life.

In other words, he completed this work without any reference points.

And there were indeed concerns before the film was even released.

However, it is clear that this score is now very popular.

Moreover, the rating will rise over time; after all, The Shawshank Redemption rose from 8.9 to 9.5.

The potential of "Bruce Lee" is immeasurable.

In Chen Yu's view, the 9-point rating for "Bruce Lee" may only be temporary.

This work definitely has endless possibilities.

There is no need for any further impact to prove how excellent this film is.

He believes that "Bruce Lee" will achieve new box office and rating records.

"Hopefully, it will do well at the box office in North America and Europe too!"

Chen Yu is now only hoping that "Bruce Lee" will reach new heights in Asia and overseas, where he will likely achieve even greater success.

It could potentially exceed $5 million.

It will also be released in other markets such as Japan and South Korea.

"Brother Long and Brother Jie should have influence overseas. The overwhelmingly negative reviews of 'The Forbidden Kingdom' among Chinese people shouldn't be the same overseas!"

"Therefore, another fierce battle is yet to come!"

As Chen Yu was speaking, Liu Yifei knew that "The Forbidden Kingdom" and "Bruce Lee" were released in the same period overseas.

"The Forbidden Kingdom" was released globally at the same time, half a month later than "Bruce Lee".

This was a compromise made by the two Chinese-language films because they were afraid of affecting their overseas box office performance.

However, after three days, the daily box office of "The Forbidden Kingdom" in China has dropped to less than 3000 million yuan.

Sales were also not very good in Europe and North America.

Not only did the box office fail to rise, but the ratings and online reviews also plummeted.

The current daily box office in China is about the same as that of "Kung Fu Dunk".

It's worth noting that "Kung Fu Dunk" had half the number of screenings as "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Just thinking about it made Chen Yu shake his head helplessly.

In other words, "Kung Fu Dunk" with 7% of screenings is approaching "The Forbidden Kingdom" with 14%.

This clearly shows how unpopular "The Forbidden Kingdom" is.

Actually.

As a king of the Chinese music scene, Zhou Jielun already possesses popularity and a fan base that ordinary people do not have.

His fan base is absolutely the most loyal supporter.

This explains why, even though its screening rate was lower than that of "The Forbidden Kingdom," it still achieved higher ratings than "The Forbidden Kingdom."

Even though "Kung Fu Dunk" is actually pretty bad, there's an even worse one out there, which has already taken all the credit.

I bet the theater managers are crying their eyes out right now.

Perhaps betting on Zhou Jielun would be far better than "The Forbidden Kingdom".

In addition, Zhou Jielun specially composed songs for the film "Kung Fu Dunk".

That's enough to show his dedication.

In Chen Yu's view, "The Forbidden Kingdom" cannot be considered a bad movie in the true sense.

Perhaps this work was originally intended for an international audience.

To international audiences, The Forbidden Kingdom is undoubtedly a fresh and exciting film.

However, because it is marketed as a martial arts film, it has only led to a decline in reputation among domestic audiences, preventing it from delving into the core of Chinese culture.

Ultimately, it will only be met with resistance from people.

In fact, the clash of superstars should have been a highlight, and with the collaboration with Hollywood, the special effects were definitely up to par.

Unfortunately, the plot is weak, resulting in a strong sense of disappointment compared to the audience's expectations.

Although it's not a masterpiece, it's still worth watching.

After all, the Spring Festival is all about family happiness.

The Forbidden Kingdom is a visually spectacular film.

"CJ7," on the other hand, has steadily climbed to second place.

Second only to Bruce Lee.

Although it also falls under the category of being attacked from a lower dimension.

While its opening day box office record may not have been able to surpass that of "The Forbidden Kingdom," it continues to break its own daily box office records every day.

In particular, there is a gradual increase in screenings.

Putting other topics aside, I personally quite like Chen Yu's "CJ7".

It continues Stephen Chow's nonsensical style of comedy.

Upon closer examination, one can sense the warmth and sadness beneath the comedic surface.

Compared to Stephen Chow's previous works, "CJ7" may not be the most outstanding, but it is the one that most evokes genuine emotions.

Warmth and childhood memories.

In addition, there's Stephen Chow's personal appeal.

Although the sci-fi exterior is somewhat crudely made, the core is about the genuine feelings of ordinary people.

This contrasts sharply with "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Despite having a top-notch cast and resources, The Forbidden Kingdom failed to deliver any meaningful message and instead focused on the surface of the story.

Or perhaps, it's just a work derived from the desire to go international.

As for "CJ7," although it has technical flaws, it has won a longer lifespan thanks to its sincere emotions.

As a result, it surpassed big-budget productions like "The Forbidden Kingdom" in just three days.

So far, it has risen to second place in both daily box office and number of screenings.

It's worth noting that when the results were first announced on the first day of the Lunar New Year, "The Forbidden Kingdom" was completely dominating "CJ7".

As for now, they have been left behind.

Although "CJ7" cannot compare with the unparalleled "Bruce Lee", it still broke the box office record for Stephen Chow's films in mainland China.

The box office has exceeded 2 million.

The Forbidden Kingdom grossed 180 million, and Kung Fu Dunk is about to break 100 million.

Of course, only three days have passed.

There are still endless possibilities ahead.

In this fiercely competitive Spring Festival film season, the happiest people are naturally netizens and moviegoers.

Watching movies during the Spring Festival is all about relaxing.

Of course, I went there to see a good movie; otherwise, wouldn't I be wasting my money and suffering?!

However, Chen Yu could sense one thing: the concept of the Spring Festival film season had begun to take root in people's hearts, becoming a trend of "watching movies during the Spring Festival."

This is what Chen Yu values ​​most. (End of Chapter)
