Chapter 181 How did it break 100 million?

It is true that the whole country is shocked!

All well-informed media have been paying attention to the Sunday box office of "Red Sorghum". In the middle of the night, the box office was counted here, and in less than half an hour, all media have already mastered the box office information.

After being shocked, he seized time to adjust the layout level reserved for him and took the time to write articles. At the same time, various media, especially newspapers, would not forget to hurry up and notify film critics and columnists who worked closely with him overnight.

As a news media, of course, they would choose to report the news incident of "Red Sorghum" box office explosion as soon as possible, but at the same time, just reporting the news itself, plus bragging, how much page can it occupy?

After all, digging out topics from the news is the only way to increase newspaper attention and sales.

As for this topic, it's easy to dig!

Because the sudden box office of "Red Sorghum" itself is already full of topics!

After more than half an hour after various media received the news, the news that "Red Sorghum" had a box office of 134.65 million in the first week was posted on the Internet by well-informed people.

Then, the major forums spread rapidly.

Li Qian's fans and movie fans certainly applauded and praised them, but the editors and writers of various media immediately turned their attention to other posts.

As an art film, how could "Red Sorghum" have such a high box office?

This question suddenly came to the hearts of many people!

Especially among reporters and editors who have been involved in reporting film and entertainment news for many years, they were immediately attracted by this part of the discussion on the Internet.

Yes, it’s just a literary movie, how could it explode at this level in the box office?

So... the topic is here!

…………

The next day, March 19th, early in the morning, newspapers from various stores were released.

The box office of "Red Sorghum" exploded, with a first-week box office of 134.65 million yuan, and it has become the headlines of major newspapers or front pages or cultural and entertainment editions today without any controversy.

In the articles reported, almost all newspapers either marveled and praised the historic box office achievements of "Red Sorghum" as a literary film, or questioned: As a literary film, how is "Red Sorghum" possible? How is the box office high to this level?

Then, the advantages were listed one by one and overturned one by one.

Three Silver Bear Awards and one Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival?

Yes, there must be a bonus for this, and the bonus is obvious!

But just relying on this, let alone the amazing box office of 134.65 million in the first week, it is already amazing to be able to exceed 50 million. Still the same thing, this is a literary and artistic film that is destined to not be too popular!

Moreover, whether you admit it or not, whether it is the Berlin Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, or the Venetian Film Festival, because domestic media have not reported it very much for many years. Therefore, although as the most famous European three major film festivals, their quality is high, but in fact, domestic people and movie audiences are not very familiar with these three major film festivals with high quality.

Qin Wei won the award in Venice, and of course, he rushed to report in China, and suddenly won the supreme master throne. Li Qian won the award. Everyone quickly spread the science about what the Berlin Film Festival is, what the Golden Bear Award is, what the Silver Bear Award is, and how these two awards were given in the past and who were given to, to prove and explain how great the award of "Red Sorghum" was, how amazing, but after all, it was just a sharpening of the gun!

The reason why we still need to introduce this and popularize science is because if you don’t have some popular science, you don’t understand what’s excitement at all!

In this case, I simply brag about saying that if a movie wins an international award, the people who come back to China will definitely go to the cinema to buy tickets?

Stop teasing!

Then, Li Qian's box office appeal is amazing?

This definitely makes sense.

Needless to mention Li Qian’s own popularity, it is unparalleled in the domestic entertainment industry and entertainment industry, and... the first international film festival champion in China!

This style is equivalent to the powerful popularity that Li Qian is already unparalleled, and it has another layer of golden shell. It looks like it is full of golden light and is unparalleled!

However, a literary and artistic movie can only provoke an amazing box office of over 100 million yuan in the first week with just one star?

Not to mention China, even in the United States and Hollywood, if you ask Jerry Carren to star in a movie, he is not that awesome and has no precedent at all!

As for the heroine... Qin Jingjing herself, she has such a small place in the Chinese film and television industry and entertainment circles with her outstanding and rare beauty.

After all, he debuted as Diao Chan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

But do you expect her to be a third-tier actress who has never made any serious works in the past few years, and has never even played the heroine of the movie, and will attract audiences?

The joke is a big deal!

Then, talk about the movie itself.

The story...is not ugly. Compared with other literary and artistic movies that are obscure and sleepy, "Red Sorghum" basically tells a great story more beautifully.

But the problem is that there are many people who can tell stories from art film directors!

Not to mention anything else, director Zhang Zifangzhang is a typical niche art film director who can tell stories. But as a result, she has made so many movies over the years, but no movie has a box office of over 100 million!

So, how could it have exceeded 100 million in just one week?

It's simply unreasonable!

However, no matter how these writers analyze it, in the end, they still have to admit that the reality is that "Red Sorghum" has a box office of 134.65 million in the first week!

It really broke 100 million historically!

…………

"Tsk tsk...is amazing!"

Monday, March 19th, at around 10 a.m.

Oriental Media Group, Chairman's Office.

Zhou Yanghua was looking at the documents carefully on the desk, while Du Weiyun sat on the sofa, crossing his legs comfortably, and the coffee was fragrant on the coffee table. He held the newspaper in his hand, and read it with relish and was amazed from time to time.

If you can stay so freely in Zhou Yanghua's office, there are only one Du Weiyun, who can stay in Zhou Yanghua's office.

It has similar relationships with Qin Weizhi and Hu Fei, who made Du Weiyun the signature of Oriental Media Group?

Zhou Yanghua looked up at him from time to time, and then withdrew his gaze.

He knew what Du Weiyun was watching the box office of "Red Sorghum", which captured the front page headlines of almost all newspapers early this morning.

After all, literary and artistic movies are nothing, and literary and artistic movies are nothing. However, literary and artistic movies won four awards at the Berlin Film Festival, which is just a scattered dish. Now this literary and artistic movie that won the grand prize has won more than 130 million box office in its first week of release and won the box office list. This is even more a huge news that no relevant media does not pay attention to.

If we include the news revealed to the media by Minghu Culture, the sales of this movie in the global film market have exceeded 47 million US dollars, and it is still increasing. There is no doubt that the hot sale of "Red Sorghum" has exceeded a certain threshold!

Once any individual event exceeds the threshold that limits itself, its influence will surely go far beyond the normal range of the event itself, and will even reach a shocking level!

Therefore, "Red Sorghum" has been extremely popular recently, and now it has won 134.65 million in the first week of box office. If any newspaper does not report it, it will definitely be out of date!

This obviously made Du Weiyun, who was reading the newspaper, very envious.

Whether it is Qin Wei or Du Weiyun, they all started out as art films. Internationally, Du Weiyun's reputation and influence are far inferior to Qin Wei. In China, they can only be considered a little inferior. Both of them are also regarded as master directors of domestic films. In fact, although Du Weiyun's early films of historical and martial arts films have not won awards internationally, they have won numerous trophies and praises in China. Those movies have long been regarded as masterpieces that perfectly combine commerciality and artisticity!

But even he has been a big shot in the domestic film industry for many years, he has never won even a box office of over 100 million in his first week!

Now, a small-investment literary film like "Red Sorghum" has actually exceeded 100 million in the first week!

How could he not envy it!

At the desk, Zhou Yanghua heard Du Weiyun always muttering there, and finally couldn't help but put down the file and said, "Okay, Lao Du, if you are jealous, let's do a good job of publicity. When this "Soled Smoke of the Desert" is released, it will be better than him!"

Du Weiyun raised his head and smiled, with a free expression, looking relaxed and comfortable, and tugging in the strange Hunan accent Mandarin, saying, "Beyond him, that's a must!"

He paused and said, "If I can't break 100 million in the first week, my boss will have to pay off his underwear!"

Zhou Yanghua was amused and crying.

Originally, he came to the office this morning and saw the newspaper, and he was really in a terrible mood, but at this time, he was so funny that he felt that he was not so cowardly after being joked about Du Weiyun for a while.

So he simply threw down the materials, got up, and walked, saying, "I think you've finished cutting the movie, are you free?"

Du Weiyun laughed and was about to speak when a knock on the door suddenly came to mind in the office.

Zhou Yanghua went over and sat down, shouted, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, Xiong Chengchao walked in quickly and said, "Chairman, the box office statistics for the theaters last week have been made. You, take a look?"
