Chapter 621 Break the rules! (The third update asks for a subscription! Ask for a monthly pass!)
"A milestone in Chinese-language military films, look at the appearance of contemporary soldiers from "Wolf Warrior"!"

"The 3D military blockbuster "Wolf Warrior" officially landed in the domestic film market, and the audience raised the national flag and shouted in unison, "Those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away"!"

""Wolf Warrior" shows the active military equipment of our country's army in a concentrated way, which feasts the eyes of military enthusiasts. Wu Jing's attitude of sharpening his sword in five years has also been recognized by the audience. Hollywood's narrative structure, although there is no shortage of Leng Feng's personal heroism, but The appearance of "Wolf Warrior" is still surprising. We have seen the attitude of a filmmaker who dares to break through, dare to try, and calm down to make movies. Super cool 5D special effects, dazzling top-level military equipment, The fast-paced narrative, the whole movie climaxes one after another, making the blood boil."

"Wu Jing drew on the shooting techniques of Hollywood commercial war films to deduce a real modern war. In addition to the amazing appearance of a batch of domestically produced new weapons and combat systems that feasted the audience's eyes, the style of the film has also changed a lot, abandoning the monotonous theme of collectivism. And it does not hesitate to show the positive side of individual heroism, abandoning the stereotyped military image and full of high-spirited funny revolutionary optimism."

""Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!" ""Wolf Warrior" was completed in one go under this theme, which made the audience fall into the plot and couldn't stop. The fighting scenes in the film are crisp and neat, and they are completely actual combat. Lifting the bayonet makes the adrenaline soar."

""Wolf Warrior": An outbreak of male hormones in Huaguo!"

On August 18st, Army Day, "Wolf Warrior" was officially released in China. Although only [-]% of the films were scheduled, it was second only to "Pacific Rim" and "Tomb Raider Notes".

Five blockbuster films were released at the same time, and the film schedule at any point has become a scarce resource. In order to maximize profits, the theaters have to rack their brains to arrange the film schedule.

The day passed quickly, and on August [-]st, "Pacific Rim" was still undoubtedly the box office champion of the day.

It got 5800 million on the second day of its release, with a total box office of 1.09 million.

On the 22nd day of its release, "Interstellar" still had a box office of 2200 million in a single day, and the total box office reached 16.97 billion. Even if there are new films released, the trend is still stable.

"Tomb Notes" received 1400 million, with a total box office of 4.14 million.

"Vegetarian Chicken 6" got 1300 million, with a total box office of 2.32 million.

On the first day of its release, "Wolf Warrior" ranked No.2800 at the box office with a figure of 2 million.

The box office is lower than the original first day, but there is no way, there are still four blockbusters in theaters, the film schedule is a lot less than the original time and space, and the attendance rate has increased a lot.

But it's a military movie after all, so don't expect it to break out before word of mouth ferments.

Next week, "Vegetarian Chicken" and "Tomb Raider Notes" should also fall behind. By then, there will be more films in the lineup, and with high word-of-mouth, a box office explosion is inevitable.

The distribution ability of Hantang Media is not comparable to Hengye, a second-rate publisher.

The box office of a film like "Wolf Warrior" a few days ago doesn't matter at all, it's almost enough, the main thing is to watch and follow-up promotion.

The publicity and marketing department has prepared a whole set of publicity plans, and these professionals will do it themselves. As long as they find the right direction, there is no need to worry at all.

Hantang Media now basically 70% of its publicity resources are tilted towards Wolf Warriors, with a total of 5000 million publicity expenses, of which 1000 million votes are paid.

Now that the July blockbusters are coming to an end, only "Pacific Rim" is left, and the pressure is much less.

The theme of the propaganda is national sentiment. Those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away. It's not that the audience doesn't like military films, it's just that they haven't encountered good films.

There are too many anti-Japanese dramas, and audiences don't like to watch anti-Japanese TV dramas, but if you want a high-quality TV drama like "Bright Sword", it will still be a hit.

Publicity is not done for nothing. During the promotion, No. 2 Tang An was also asked by the reporter why he invested in and released such a niche film.

"In the past, there was indeed no precedent for domestic military-themed films to succeed in the market, and today's mainstream audiences prefer youth, action, and comedy-themed films. But what I value most about "Wolf Warrior" is that from the core of the story and the core of the theme , This is a film with national feelings and resonance with the whole people, and the big box office movies actually have resonance and feelings. So what we have to do is to let everyone know that this is not just a main theme movie."

Tang An still said countless times before that emotion is the most touching thing.

Of course, it was not all applauded. No matter what movie there is, there are people who don't like "The Shawshank Redemption", which is regarded as a masterpiece in China.

What's more, this is a military movie, and the controversy is even greater.

Some people think that those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away are just chanting slogans and consuming national sentiment.

Others pointed out that there are a lot of flaws in the movie, including some unreasonable plots.

Some stand on various points of view, and some say that American war movies are garbage, which belongs to the type of yelling and screaming. In the end, we also learned garbage.

"A calm big country is definitely not screaming and showing off its power. We only show off our bodies and make fists when we see those children wandering on the street. The young nation of the United States, in terms of movie entertainment aesthetics, still Teenagers basically lack the demeanor of a big country. We must not think that showing off our muscles is a big country. A real big country is restrained and calm.

What an excellent big country should do is not to show off its skills, but to show a peaceful scene through the film, especially to show its own cultural connotation.The more you say that you are strong in force, isn't it the performance of the weak?
Therefore, "Wolf Warrior" is fundamentally an embarrassment to the people of the country. China's war films urgently need people of insight to actively participate in the production, and bad movies like "Wolf Warrior" cannot be allowed to ruin the image of Chinese culture.But there is one more thing worth noting, this kind of flamboyant and obscene movies can even make young people shout long live, which shows that this nation is becoming more and more uncultured in the United States. "

A commercial movie can talk so much, it's like going to a restaurant to order a fried pork with green peppers, and after taking a bite, you start yelling at the chef, saying that the braised pork next door is fat but not greasy.

In the past, domestic filmmakers were asked to learn from Hollywood movies, and they praised Hollywood movies and belittled domestic movies.

Now I have learned Hollywood's shooting techniques and narrative techniques, but I am still scolded.

Scolding can be seen everywhere, it is inevitable, and there is no need to care how happy these people are.

Film critics gave praise and depreciation, but audiences did receive positive reviews. Coupled with a lot of publicity and marketing, the popularity of "Wolf Warrior" rose instantly.

Domestic military films are still blank, and suddenly there is a popular military film, which can definitely attract a lot of audiences.

On Friday the 2nd, the box office of "Wolf Warrior" soared 35%, rising to 3800 million.

On Saturday, the film schedule began to rise, and the single-day box office also reached 4900 million.

On Sunday, the film schedule rose again slightly, and the single-day box office did not start to decline in accordance with the trend of traditional commercial films. Instead, it rose again by 500 million, and received 5400 million in a single day.

It was released for four days, with a total box office of 1.69 million!
Although it is almost [-] million less than the original time and space four days, but now it has to compete with four blockbuster films, and the film schedule is seriously insufficient.

Originally, "Wolf Warrior" encountered a super strong opponent in the third week, which plummeted by 77%, and it will not appear now.

Among other movies, "Interstellar" won a total of 8800 million in three days over the weekend, with a total box office of 17.85 billion.

"Pacific Rim" totaled 2.65 million in three days, and 2.74 million in five days after its release.

"Vegetarian Chicken 6" earned 5000 million in three days, with a total box office of 2.82 million.

"Tomb Notes" also won 5000 million in three days, with a total box office of 11 million in 4.54 days of release.

On the following Monday, "Wolf Warrior" was in a stable trend, with a drop of only 40% on the working day, and it won 3200 million in a single day.

The total box office in five days reached 2.01 million, breaking the [-] million mark!

After five days of screenings, the word-of-mouth of the film has completely fermented. Coupled with the pervasive propaganda of Hantang Media, even if some people criticize the film from various angles, it will not have any impact.

[-] million in five days, this data also stunned the industry.

This is a modern military movie. There hasn't been a modern military movie that can sell money in so many years.

After all, modern military films have no rivals, and they cannot fight neighboring countries.

Things like "Assembly" are not considered modern military films.

But for such a niche movie, it won 40 million box office in five days, and the drop on weekdays was only [-]%.

Although it is worse than "Interstellar", it is already a high enough trend for a commercial film.

Guangxian Media, Wang Changtian sighed, and immediately prepared to make a phone call, thank you for coming.

But if you think about it, let's wait. Wu Jing is running all over the country now, so it's useless to talk about it.

That's right, Wang Changtian intends to play a role in the sequel.

The film "Wolf Warrior" could not be more appropriate to be made into a series, and now the popularity of "Wolf Warrior" and Wu Jing has skyrocketed, and there is already a faint posture of claiming to be an IP.

Wu Jing's wife is Guangxian's head host, of course Wang Changtian will not let her go.

Besides, he treated Wu Jing and Xie Yuan not badly, and helped with publicity a lot, and Xie Yuan even took a small share of the company.

According to this posture, the box office of "Wolf Warrior" is at least 8000 million yuan, and the investment is only [-] million yuan, which is a big profit.

Being able to take part in this high-quality project, Wang Changtian immediately felt happy.

Yu Dong also sighed secretly, and his mind became active.

"Wolf Warrior" seems to be a big hit, and military themes may usher in spring, so the adaptation of "Mekong Tragedy" can also be considered.

Yu Dong made up his mind, called and made an appointment with a deputy director of the Film Bureau, and was about to go check on the situation.

Wanda Films, Ye Tuo is not happy now, "Wolf Warrior" might really surpass "Tomb Raider Notes".

It's a shame that the three major companies invested [-] million yuan in a big production that was surpassed by a military film.

But there is still a bad thing right now, Hantang Media actually asked Chen Shicheng about the release of "Love Story in Beijing".

"They opened a guarantee of 1.5 million?" Ye asked, frowning.

"Yes, Mr. Ye, Chen Shicheng said that at the beginning it was 1.5 million, but it has been increased to [-] million."

"Reject them!"

Ye Xuan didn't even think about it.

"Love Story in Beijing" is extremely popular as a TV series. The 1 million box office box office is not a big problem, and 2 million box office is also very possible. Wanda can distribute it by itself, and there is no need to make others cheaper.

Ah Li Pictures, the atmosphere in the whole company is a bit strange.

"Tomb Raiders Notes" led by President Zhang Wei has lost the momentum of the start, and it is a foregone conclusion that it will hit the market. Even if the publishing fee is added, it may not be able to pay back.

CEO Zhang Qiang's previous hit "To Youth" was a hit, and the mid-budget film outperformed "Tomb Raiders" at the box office.

Comparing the two makes a judgment.

And now Ah Li is preparing for a large cultural and entertainment strategic group. Many people are staring at the position of CEO of the group. It seems that Zhang Qiang has won.

Allowing a newly established film and television company to invest and release a movie with a box office of [-] million is enough to prove its ability.

Early in the morning, Zhang Qiang walked into the company with a smile on his face. The biggest competitor lost, and the company is now saying its own thing, and the position of CEO of the new group is also within easy reach.

In the morning, I received a call from Ali Baba COO Zhang Yong, asking him to meet and talk about things at the Wangfu Hotel.

Why did Zhang Yong come to the capital?

Is it possible that success is a matter of preparing for a large entertainment group?

Thinking of this, even Zhang Qiang couldn't help being a little excited.

Isn't it just for this moment to leave the director and vice president of China Film Group, a media group with a valuation of tens of billions!
I drove to Wangfu Hotel and entered a private room, where Zhang Yong was already waiting.

But there is another person in the room, UC President Yu Yongfu

Zhang Qiang's heart sank.

The big entertainment group includes UC, this time Zhang Yong and Yu Yongfu are here!
But in an instant, he changed into his previous smiling face, strode into the box, and took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Yong.
