Of course, it is unlikely that similar news will not be released.

Because publishing news is necessary.

It will just be posted in a corner, and if you see it, you see it. If you don’t see it, I guarantee that I won’t let you find it.

The South China Sea standoff is one of those incidents that the higher-ups don't want everyone to know about.

So 98% of the ordinary audience didn’t know about this in advance.

If they hadn't watched "The Age of Great Controversy", they would still be in the dark.

After watching "The Age of Controversy", the audience was collectively shocked.

what's the situation?

We were still watching "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", but a war almost broke out in the South China Sea?

No one really feels anything.

So when everyone saw this scene on the big screen, many people were shocked.

After the shock, there is excitement.

After all, it was the Americans who gave in first and retreated.

We didn't retreat this time.

Who else on earth today can challenge the United States militarily?

Apart from the Russian bear, it’s us.

This is certainly something to be excited about.

Many people were so excited that they watched it twice.

then.

Can't get a ticket.

After all, it is the Spring Festival period, the climax of movie watching.

At the beginning, everyone had a strong desire to watch the movie.

Then "The Age of Contender" is the audience's first choice.

After all, Director Wei’s movies have the highest screening rate.

This directly led to the situation that almost every show of "The Great Contest" was sold out, and many viewers could not buy movie tickets at all.

Some cinemas have even started selling standing tickets in order to make money.

Of course, this kind of thing was quickly stopped.

After all, this is not good.

This situation also occurred at the beginning of last year when "The Mermaid" was popular in theaters.

Generally speaking, when this happens, it means that a phenomenal movie has been released.

Of course, last year "The Mermaid" was eventually diverted to "Detective Chinatown".

And it has to be said that the quality of "The Mermaid" itself does have some issues. At least the audience still has higher standards for Stephen Chow's movies.

Therefore, "The Mermaid" lacks stamina in the later stages.

However, this situation did not occur in "The World of Great Controversy".

Because during this Spring Festival, all the big commercial productions that could divert box office revenue from "The Great Contest" have run away.

Those who stayed were not up to par at all.

In addition, the quality and subject matter of "The Great Strife" itself are enough to ensure that "The Great Strife" will not be a disappointment.

After all, Director Wei got a great advantage.

Before this, there were no classic military-themed movies, and the audience didn’t even have a comparison object.

When "The Age of Great Contention" came out, it was the best.

And it is best to be pioneering, and it can even be said to fill a gap in a subject matter.

Once the audience has this feeling, the box office will undoubtedly soar. This is a big reason why "The Wandering Earth" became a hit.

There hasn’t been a single good science fiction movie before, and now that one has finally appeared, shouldn’t the audience cherish it?

This care almost created a box office record. The Great Controversy pioneered this path to success in advance.

Many viewers who wanted to watch the show again but couldn't do so for the time being because they couldn't get tickets have turned into online commentators and spontaneously promoted "The World of Contenders" on various platforms.

There are a lot of long reviews at a time.

And all of them have been overwhelmingly positive. "Something You Must Know," "We Almost Went into War," and "The Age of Contenders"—a film you'll absolutely regret not seeing! "The best Chinese military film since the millennium," "Highly recommended by military enthusiasts: this film features our latest strategic weapons—a must-see for military fans," "The Real World We Don't Understand," "It Turns Out War Is So Close to Us," "Before going to the theater, I didn't understand why Jackie Chan and Star Master pulled the film from the theater. I think they were wise to do so," "I went there for the Best Actor lineup and walked out on my knees," "Calling for the Navy, I'm awesome," and "The highest level of patriotism—no words, nothing preachy, everything speaks for itself." Director Wei, while on his roadshow break, browsed online reviews of "The Age of Contenders" and gave them a thumbs-up whenever he saw a positive review.

These people really have good vision.

"Director Wei, the results of the midnight show are out."

Secretary Chen Duling excitedly reported the good news to Director Wei. The other main creators of "The Great Contender" also looked at Chen Duling with anticipation.

They are currently on a roadshow.

In the first half month after the movie is released, the film's creators basically have to conduct roadshows to promote the film.

In fact, it may not have a huge impact on the box office, but it is more or less a gesture.

Everyone is curious about the box office performance of the midnight show of "The Great Controversy".

Only Director Wei remained calm.

He even raised his hand to stop Chen Duling.

"It's just a small matter, look what you're making such a fuss about."

Director Wei grumbled, "Dudu, did you break the record?"

Chen Duling nodded vigorously.

The movie stars looked delighted.

Although they had long felt that the box office of "The Great Conquest" would not be too bad, the fact that the midnight box office broke the record was certainly a good start.

"Director Wei, why are you so calm?" Li Youbin asked.

He is so old, but he can't be as calm as Director Wei.

After all, although these movie stars are very popular among the people, they rarely prove themselves on the big screen.

Most of their popularity comes from TV dramas.

Nowadays, there are even fewer opportunities to appear in TV dramas.

There is no way, every generation will eventually grow old.

This is an unavoidable fact.

Director Wei waved his hand and said calmly, "Teacher Li, I'm just used to it.

After all, when I make a movie, I usually break a record with every one I make.”

Li Youbin: ...He was tricked.

But think about Director Wei’s record.

He also felt that Director Wei was not pretending, but stating the facts.

Chen Duling said, "Boss, we almost doubled the midnight box office record this time."

The others became excited again after hearing this.

But Director Wei remained calm.

Even Director Wei frowned and said, "Almost double? Does that mean it's less than double? It's less than I expected."

Everyone: "..."

What should I do if I meet a bully and really want to beat him up?

Chen Duling couldn't help but complain: "Boss, we have already set a new box office record. Don't be too greedy."

Wei Jun chuckled, "What's the big deal about setting a new record for midnight box office? My goal is to set a new record for the total box office in the Chinese film industry."

When the others heard Director Wei say this, they all became excited.

With Director Wei's track record and appeal, coupled with the current box office performance of "The Great Contest", it is not impossible to create a new box office record in the Chinese-language film industry.

And once this becomes a reality, they will all be witnesses of a miracle.

They are naturally proud of it.

Chen Baoguo was so excited that he asked in a trembling voice, "Director Wei, are you sure that 'The World of Contenders' can break the box office record?"

Director Wei smiled: Teacher Qiongdong, I don’t know how to respond to your question.

Do you think my goal for "World of Warcraft" is just to set a new record?"

Chen Baoguo: “???”

He had a feeling that Director Wei was going to act up again.

As it turned out, his hunch was correct.

Director Wei made a big move this time.

"There is currently no Chinese-language film in the Chinese film industry that has grossed over 30 billion yuan."

Originally "The Mermaid" was supposed to be one.

It’s a pity that Director Wei used the sentimental marketing of “I owe XXX a movie ticket” in advance.

Even fans of Stephen Chow should admit that the box office of "The Mermaid" exceeded 30 billion yuan, and emotional marketing played more than half of the role.

I owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket. This feeling is so powerful.

A generation of people grew up watching Hong Kong movies.

Stephen Chow is the man who grew up with them in their youth.

So it is very convincing for them to contribute a movie ticket to Stephen Chow.

It’s just that this trick works best the first time it’s used.

It's of no use later.

In this life, Director Wei used it on Jackie Chan when filming "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

When Brother Long used it and then Stephen Chow used it, the effect was reduced by more than half.

This resulted in the box office of "The Mermaid" not exceeding 30 billion.

In this life, the box office ceiling for Chinese-language films is only over 20 billion.

After hearing Director Wei say this, everyone else thought that Director Wei had set a box office target of 30 billion for "The Age of Contenders", and everyone became excited.

Until they heard Director Wei say: "My expectation for The Great Controversy is to skip 30 billion and go straight for 40 billion or even 50 billion."

Everyone was stunned.

They all suspected that they were hallucinating.

Director Wei gave them a look of affirmation.

That’s right, what he just said was 40 billion, or even 50 billion.

Director Wei dares to set such a high goal, which is neither aimless nor arrogant.

He is indeed confident. "Wolf Warrior 2" grossed 56.8 billion yuan and was released during the summer holiday this year.

It directly raised the 30 billion yuan box office record for Chinese-language films to 56.8 billion yuan, skipping the 40 billion yuan mark without hesitation. If "Wolf Warrior 2" can break through, why can't "The Age of Conquest" break through?

Director Wei compared the internal and external environments that the two films faced in their attempts to break box office records.

In terms of release dates, the Spring Festival release date beats the summer release date.

In the same year, "The Great Conquest" was released in a period with greater box office potential. Its quality can be said to be better than "Wolf Warrior 2" and its structure and intention are better than "Wolf Warrior 2".

The schedule is fine.

The quality is ok.
