Chapter 535 "Partners" is a box office success, and it deserves to be the box office elixir!

Maybe it's because the box office of the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is so high. Many people, including Chen Kexin, have great expectations for Cao Jun's box office appeal.

Even Cao Jun himself began to feel pressure from the box office.

You know, Cao Jun has participated in so many movies, but he has never failed to do so at the box office.

Cao Jun himself felt that he was a box office elixir, and he was full of expectations and longing for the box office success of the movie "Partners in China".

Sitting in the car promoting the movie, Chen Kexin had nothing to do, so he asked Cao Jun: "Dr. Cao, I heard that you are very good at predicting the box office of movies. How about you predict the box office of our movie? What do you think of us?"

How much box office can a movie achieve?"

Cao Jun thought for a while and replied: "It should be 500 million, my personal feeling."

Peter Chan smiled and replied: "500 million is not bad. The cost of our movie plus publicity and distribution, the box office needs to be at least 200 million to make a profit."

Cao Jun said with a smile: "With our lineup, quality, and publicity, 200 million should be no problem. I have confidence in our movie."

Peter Chan also thinks 200 million is no problem, but his ambitions are similar to Cao Jun's, and he also hopes that "China Partners" can break through 500 million at the box office.

In the following three days, under the leadership of director Chen Kexin, Cao Jun, Deng Chao, Tong Dawei, Du Juan and other actors traveled to several cities to build momentum for the promotion of "Partners in China".

May 17th was the first day of the official release of "Partners". With 36% of the film schedule, it exceeded the previous 35% film schedule of "To Our Fading Youth" and further compressed the film schedule of "Iron Man 3"

, "To Our Perishable Youth" film schedule share.

In addition, the film's creative team has been touring 15 cities across the country to promote it, making theaters even more optimistic about the box office of "China Partners".

Entertainment reporter Xiao Wu was at Broadway New Century Cinemas in Oriental New World. Popular films include "Partners in China", "To Our Fading Youth", "Iron Man 3", "Croods" and other films, among which "

"Huaguo Partner" has the most shows.

There was actually a queue of nearly 20 meters long in front of the ticket counter. Reporter Xiao Wu was watching "China Partners" at 6:05 pm. When he entered the venue, he found that the occupancy rate in the middle hall was about 80%.

After the film begins, the English training company "New Dream" was sued by the United States for infringement of teaching materials and went to the United States for negotiations. This is the beginning and connection point of the entire film, with the narration of Wang Yang, played by Tong Dawei, as the third point of view.

Unfold the story in memories.

The first laugh point of the film occurs when college freshmen are entering. Wang Yang, played by Tong Dawei, and Meng Xiaojun, played by Deng Chao, pinch each other, bicker and throw things at each other. In the end, they hit Cheng Dongqing, played by Cao Jun.

He fell down.

The biggest laugh came when Cheng Dongqing climbed up a street lamp for Su Mei and used a silhouette to project the word "LOVE" on the ground to attract Su Mei's attention. As a result, the three of them worked for a long time and turned a blind eye when the girl passed by.

, there was constant laughter in the audience.

Anyone who knows a little bit about New Oriental knows that many of the quotes and details that New Oriental has repeatedly seen in the media and on the Internet over the years have been presented in the movie.

Among them is the prototype of Wang Yang, played by Tong Dawei. A metaphor often said by Wang Qiang of New Oriental: "Learning English is like a scientist learning a bird's call, just imitating it. After a few months, you let the bird listen to it again and see what you are doing."

Doesn’t it look like learning?”

"For example, if you imitate the male birds and call in the woods, and suddenly realize that 4 female birds have fallen on the tree, it means that you have passed CET-4. What if there are 6? That is CET-6. If you are covered with birds

What? You are the birdman."

The above passage was moved almost intact by Peter Chan into the movie "Partners in China".

In addition, in the movie, New Oriental was changed to "New Dream" and Jingcheng University was changed to "Yenjing University".

Compared with the constant laughter during the viewing of "To Our Mortal Youth", the audience was much calmer during the viewing of "Partners in China", especially in the second half of the film, involving three people.

When the partners have conflicts over whether to go public, the film is relatively depressing.

However, at the end of the film, when Cheng Dongqing led Meng Xiaojun to an American research institution and told him that he had made a donation in his name, and the people who came to greet him respectfully called Meng Xiaojun "teacher", the emotion of the film reached its climax.

The highest court.

A pair of Mr. Zhang, who had been trained at New Oriental, also brought a child of about ten years old to watch the movie. The man, who called himself Mr. Zhang, kept explaining to his wife in a low voice the prototypes of the characters in the film.

After the screening, Mr. Zhang told reporter Xiao Wu that although he passed the TOEFL, he did not go abroad. Looking back on the experience of attending New Oriental, he still feels that it was the most productive years of his life. "Take your children to watch it."

, in addition to cultivating his interest in learning English, it also reminds him of his past years of struggle."

According to incomplete statistics, the box office of "Partners in China" exceeded 40 million on its first day of release, reaching 43 million yuan.

At the same time, "Iron Man 3" had a total box office of 658 million as of that day, and "Youth" had a total box office of 665 million.

On May 18, "Huaguo Partner" collected another 48 million yuan, bringing the total in two days to 91 million yuan.

May 19, 9 am.

The total box office of the movie "Partners in China" successfully exceeded 100 million.

Faced with such excellent results of "Partners", Liu Ge, deputy general manager of Wanda Cinema Line, said that "Partners" currently ranks first in the theater chain's film schedule, attendance, and box office.

""Partners in China" is one of the works directed by Chen Kexin, and the famous star Cao Jun plays the leading role. He is now the most popular movie star, his acting skills are very good, he is very down-to-earth, and the audience has responded well. He has played in many places such as Shancheng

The performance was fully booked, and the audience collectively stood up and applauded."

Xu Binbiao, general manager of Yangcheng Jinyi Zhujiang Cinema Line Company, said that the current film schedule of "Partners in China" is about 40%. The film quality is very good, the cast headed by Cao Jun is also very strong, and the positioning is also very accurate. The box office in the first week

Higher than I expected.

Liu Ge also pointed out a phenomenon: Because the movie is based on the entrepreneurial story of New Oriental and tells an entrepreneurial legend, many companies in various places have begun to organize movie theaters to be booked.

Zhang Xin, CEO of Sohu Huaguo Co., Ltd., commented on Weibo after watching the movie: ""Huaguo Partners" is awesome! It tells the story of New Oriental's Yu Minhong and several people, and it is also about the entrepreneurship of our generation.

Stories of struggle, going abroad, turtles, country bumpkins, and going public. I have experienced the contradictions, difficulties, successes, and joys in them.”

Xu Xiaoping, co-founder of New Oriental, said that the role of Meng Xiaojun in the film is of epoch-making significance - the craze for studying in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s finally achieved a historic reversal in the 21st century. China replaced the United States and became a generation of Chinese, especially those born in the 1970s.

, a fertile ground for the "post-80s" and "post-90s" to pursue their dreams.

Actor Xu Zheng commented on Weibo that "Partners of China" is a rare Chinese-style biographical film. He finally saw the dream of China in the movie, and the three actors performed amazingly.
