Big names rise

The Twelve Cities film schedule is a statistics of the film schedule in 12 high-grossing cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, and Chengdu. Regarding the nationwide film schedule, after all, box office sales in the Mainland still mainly rely on big cities. If you master the big cities, you will have the right to speak at the box office.

On Saturday, the release day of "Zi Bu Yu" accounted for 12% of the 39 cities' screenings, and 12 cities could count 4100 screenings, ranking first!In addition, "If You Are the One 2" has 27% of the film schedule, and "Let the Bullets Fly" has 24% of the film schedule. The three films actually occupy 90% of the film schedule for the day. The other four new films of the week are "All the way with you", "Lover's Whispers", "The Former Degree" , "Kidnapping Ice Cream" and four or five old movies only account for a poor 10%!That is to say, there are almost no other films to be seen during the prime time in these 12 big cities, only these three are available for appreciation. If China has a monopoly law, these three films should be pulled out and shot for 5 minutes.

In big cities, Shuimu’s main partner is Wanda Cinemas, the largest theater chain in China. In addition, theaters such as New Film Federation, China Film Xingmei, and Magic City United will also give varying degrees of support.

Wanda will give "Zi Bu Yu" the greatest support, but this support will only be on Saturday and Sunday during the premiere week. After the first week, the theater chain will adjust the film arrangement and allocation of screening halls according to the market.

In just six years, Wanda has grown into the largest theater chain in China, and its box office sales in 10 years should exceed the population of China.They are willing to support more than half of the filming in two days, which is undoubtedly a boon for "Zi Bu Yu", after Wanda first announced the filming plan.Many medium-sized theaters have also increased the film schedule of "Zibuyu", so "Zibuyu" can overwhelmingly occupy the first place in the film schedule on the day of the premiere.

Of course, Wanda is not a charity house, and they have a reason for doing so. First of all, "Zi Bu Yu" has held trial screenings at Wanda many times. Judging from the on-site reactions, the viewing effect of the film is not inferior to that of some Hollywood blockbusters.There must be emotions and special effects, and special effects must be special effects, which can be called a model of commercial films.Many viewers even said that it was not worse than Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly", which is a prerequisite for Wanda to take the risk of supporting "Zi Bu Yu".

In addition, audiences are still relatively blind when watching movies. Basically, they watch whatever is shown in the cinema, so there is not much difference in box office revenue between the popular "Let the Bullets Fly" and the new film "Zibuyu".Even as a new film, "Zi Bu Yu" has even greater advantages.

certainly.None of the above are enough reasons for Wanda to support "Zi Bu Yu" so strongly. In particular, He Mu did not participate in "Warring States" with Wanda's background, which made some Wanda theater executives not very happy. The little friendship between "has almost dissipated. The main reason why such a close cooperation can be reached is because Mizuki and Wanda signed an agreement. support and cooperation.

Wanda has made no secret of its ambitions for the upstream industry of the film industry. However, Wanda has no relevant experience and wants to get involved in film production. It is more reliable to find a professional company to cooperate with.Wanda has taken a fancy to Shuimu Forest, which is on the rise, and Shuimu also urgently needs Wanda's support in "Zibuyu".So everyone hit it off.

In addition to the support of large theater chains headed by Wanda in big cities, Shuimu Forest is still focusing on the second and third tiers and even county cities. At this time, the role of the metropolis will be revealed.

Nowadays, there are only two well-known cinema companies in China that focus on the development of second- and third-tier cities and even county towns. The two companies, the South and the North, do not invade each other, and they can be regarded as relatively harmonious competitors. Mr. He Mu The relationship between father and the boss of Guangzhou Dadi is also good. For his son's "Zi Bu Yu", Father He called there a lot, and he got a lot of support, so although "Zi Bu Yu" premiered on the day In the 12 cities, only 39% of the films were scheduled, but the nationwide film schedule must have exceeded 40%.

Although Mr. He said before that the development of theater chains must follow market laws, he would not go through the back door for Mizuki, but this time, he can't wait for all the theaters and all the screening halls under his umbrella to play "Zi Bu Yu" continuously. Impossible, but the Metropolis’s support for "Zi Bu Yu" is absolutely unprecedented, especially in its theaters, the most eye-catching posters and trailers are all "Zi Bu Yu", which is of great guiding significance to the audience.

On January 1st, He Mu got up very early. After midnight, "Zi Bu Yu" began to land in movie theaters all over the country on a large scale. He usually doesn't sleep much. He went to bed very early tonight, just to be full of energy in the morning Wake up to receive box office data about "Zi Bu Yu".

January 1st is a good day. It is both Saturday and New Year’s Day. People are extraordinarily free on this day. Watching movies has become a good choice. Many people even stay up at night just to get a sneak peek of "Zi Bu Yu", They want to see how this movie that even Jiang Wen has agreed on is a good idea.

Su Wan and Ai Yu are college students and a pair of good sisters. They made an appointment to watch a midnight movie in the cinema. No doubt they are rushing to "Zibuyu". The four trailers have already made them want to see this movie. The cute movie Hou Xiaoshuidian made them want to stop even more, and they didn't even want to wait until dawn, since there was no class on Saturday anyway.

Even though it was early in the morning, there were still a lot of people in the screening hall, except for the first two rows which were already full. This kind of grand occasion can only be achieved by the zero-point scenes of films such as "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2".

The picture of the movie is very clear, and the sound effect is also excellent. Apart from the high configuration of Wanda Cinema, the main reason is that Mizuki’s shooting and recording equipment is from Hollywood, which is a high-end technology favored by American directors.

The quality of the picture and sound can be heard at a glance, but the quality of the story needs to be carefully tasted. Su Wan and Ai Yu are already addicted to it now. The long shot at the beginning of the film showed the scenery of the town so that they I can’t wait to go there for a trip. Later, Mo Yu followed his mother to move into the new home. He met his neighbor Yangmi Feng Shaofeng and the mysterious brother Shen. The narration is smooth and the editing is crisp. It is very comfortable and does not feel procrastinated. It will soon enter the first main plot. Xiaoyu will discover his own strangeness in this ancient town...

The 118 minutes of the film passed quickly. The audience chased Xiaoyu's perspective, followed "Brother Shen" and Tudou to take risks in this ancient town, travel, comprehend, and finally return to the arms of parents, and are full of ambitions to get in touch with that town next time. world.

For audiences who have never read the comic version, this is an independent, novel, and imaginative fantasy movie world. The film has the charm of the "Harry Potter" series.

For those viewers who have read the comic version and love the comic version deeply, He Mu actually turned Xiaobai into his own yellow potato, which is really too much, but Tudou's acting skills are not bad, it feels better than He Mu, of course the most surprising Of course it is Xiao Shuidian, she really deserves to be the queen of the East Film Festival and the Golden Horse Film Festival, she really played Xiaoyu, and she is not just a simple imitation of comic characters, she must have her own understanding and ideas, she must understand This story, otherwise it would be impossible to act so well, and she is really beautiful and cute. Although she didn't deliberately act cute, but an inadvertent little confused look, an inadvertent glance back and a smile are so heart-warming. If I were The judges will definitely award her the Best Actress!

As the soul of the film, Xiao Shuidian has successfully captured the soul of the audience, which makes the film half successful, and He Mu's adaptation of the original plot is also reasonable. Although some places have been dissatisfied by comic fans, the film Fans appreciate He Mu's method even more. A movie is a movie. If there is a blunt connection between a small story and a small story like in a comic, it is irresponsible to the movie.

Thanks to the rest of everyone on Saturday, the zero-time box office of "Zibuyu" is not bad. Judging from the box office statistics sent by more than 20 theaters, the box office of "Zibuyu" is as high as 480 million!

What is this concept?Although no one deliberately counts the box office of zero-time box office, after all, some movies have no zero-time box office at all, and the scale of zero-time box office of different films is not the same. 400 million, "Tangshan Earthquake" 3300 million at midnight on Thursday, 300 million on the first day, "If You Are the One 3620" at midnight on Wednesday 2 million, 200 million on the first day, and "Zibuyu" is 3470 million, then its How much should the box office be on the first day? !

For the time being, He Mu doesn't know yet, but the entertainment moderator was blowing the wind of "Zi Bu Yu" that day, and all kinds of news about "creating a new box office record at zero point" appeared in front of readers in different ways.

At the same time, the good word-of-mouth of "Zi Bu Yu" spread rapidly. The movie box office, movie box office, and even the North American box office are discussing this work that is very different from today's Chinese-language films, discussing its high-ranking film and high box office, and discussing its original work and adaptation. , Discuss why it was not deleted by the radio and television when it involved demons.

At noon on Sunday, the box office of the first day of the movie (including the zero-point show and the early show) was finally counted. Xue Xiangchen, who was in charge of the announcement of the film, gathered in He Mu's office and waited to see the number. Everyone knew that this number would be very high, a height that had never been reached before, but it still scared them when it first came out. One, this, this is too high!
