Chapter 1094 Weird Box Office Trend(1/2)
I continued to worry yesterday, my head was so dizzy, I even forgot to name the chapter, sorry.
——————
The unexpectedly impressive box office performance of "The Last Days" in its first week of premiere has led many film companies at home and abroad to believe that maybe this is just a flash in the pan.
The fact that a low-budget love movie achieved such a high box office after its release is entirely due to Yang Ming's unstoppable popularity around the world, which is why it achieved such a high box office in the first place.
I believe that after a week, the box office of "The Love of Ghosts" will definitely drop sharply.
After all, this is just a low-budget love movie. No matter how famous Yang Ming is or how popular he is, there is a limit.
This is the common thought shared by all film companies at home and abroad.
Can a low-budget romance movie be so successful?
However, the box office data of "The Last Days" did not fall but increased slightly in the second week. This strange box office trend surprised all film companies at home and abroad and found it incredible.
How is it possible?
Generally speaking, after a movie is released for one week, its box office data will basically decline to a certain extent in the second week, and most blockbusters are no exception.
It cannot be denied that the box office of some movies will increase in the next week, but this kind of movie is a top-notch movie in terms of plot and production. "The Last Love" is obviously not among the top-level movies.
Inside.
However, the box office of "The Last Love" not only did not decline the following week, but actually increased.
Such a strange trend in box office performance has made everyone surprised and puzzled.
There is no reason!
Many film companies, or so-called film celebrities, have taken magnifying glasses to carefully study everything about "The Last Love", trying to find out what is the reason why this small-budget love movie can be surrounded by many blockbusters.
Underneath, he still broke out.
This is definitely not the reason for Yang Ming’s own strong appeal.
No matter how strong a star is, there are limits; no matter how famous he is, it is useless if his movies are not good.
In blockbuster shooting and production, superstar actors and actresses are indispensable, but it does not mean that having a big-name cast will guarantee success.
All filmmakers know this clearly.
At this time, many people turned their attention to the theme song "Unbridled Melody", which suddenly became popular around the world because of "The Love of Ghosts".
"A Chinese poignant and sacred love story, with a classic sad rock soundtrack with strong Western sentiments, Yang Ming, a talented and talented director, presents Eastern and Western cultures to movie fans around the world in a perfect fusion way."
In an interview with the media, a big-name European director spoke highly of the theme song "Unbridled Melody" of "The Love of Ghosts". At the same time, he also praised Yang Ming's attempt to combine Eastern and Western cultures in one movie.
He received great recognition and believed that this talented director from China has embarked on a film path that is different from others.
"He should be a treasure that belongs to the world."
Hollywood pop queen Aphra suddenly appeared after being away from the public for nearly two years. When reporters mentioned Yang Ming, she made no secret of her appreciation and admiration for Yang Ming.
"I never thought that a young man from China could interpret Western classic rock music to such an extent. Because of "Unbridled Melody", I fell in love with the movie "The Love of Ghosts" regardless of the other.
"
Benson Senior, the veteran British rock star, always supports Yang Ming in front of the media. He is a well-known Yang Ming die-hard fan. Although his age and status are much higher than Yang Ming, there is no doubt that he has already
I was conquered by someone's superb rock and roll talent.
The last time Yang Ming held a solo concert in London, this veteran music superstar cheered for Yang Ming.
"Overnight, a movie soundtrack "Unbridled Melody" was playing all over the country. This is a soundtrack composed by my country's famous genius Yang Ming for his new film. Although this song is an English rock song, whether you listen to it or not Even if you understand the lyrics, no matter whether you have seen the movie scene of the hugging each other making love, the intoxicating feeling like the leisurely spinning of an old record will definitely still touch your heart."
"Yang Ming's singing is sometimes as calm as water, sometimes as weeping and complaining, sometimes as a mountain roaring as a tsunami, and sometimes at the top of his lungs. He completes a unique classic amidst the ups and downs of emotions."
"He touched the whole world once again!"
The Chinese media also spoke very highly of Yang Ming.
Zhou Qingyun, as a film critic as famous as Mr. Meng Su, also gave Yang Ming a thumbs up in his personal media page and praised "The Love of Ghosts".
"After watching the movie, everyone knows that the movie actually tells an ordinary love story about life, separation, and death. However, Yang Ming, a talented director, is able to be creative and set the development of the story at a unique edge.
The zone - between the yin and yang realms. The film uses ghosts and ghosts to create a series of suspense and twists and turns of bizarre plots. The audience is immersed in illusion and reality, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes inspired by justice, and finally inspired by the protagonist.
Touched by everlasting love."
"The outstanding performance of the heroine Su Su is also the key to the success of the film. The woman known as the one behind Yang Ming has also officially rectified her name through this film. She is not a vase. She does not need to rely on anyone to live. It is her
The emotional performance reflects the style of a first-class star, leaving the audience mesmerized and deeply moved."
"Through smooth narration, the film interprets a romantic, poignant love story in a heart-stirring and tear-jerking way. What's even more clever is that it is paired with melodious music, which perfectly integrates with the story in the film, giving the audience a transcendent and beautiful spiritual enjoyment."
"This movie seems to have a low production cost and cannot be compared with those blockbusters with budgets of hundreds of millions. However, this small-cost love movie is exquisitely made and surpasses most movies. Yang Ming tells everyone in another way,
A good movie does not just rely on money!"
"Serious, attentive, and persistent. In fact, this is the key to the success of this movie."
Zhou Qingyun eloquently wrote a large review praising "The Love of Ghosts", which surprised many domestic filmmakers.
Who doesn't know that this famous film critic, who is as famous as Mr. Meng Su, has always been famous for his vicious tongue, and rarely uses perfect words to describe a movie. The movies reviewed by Zhou Qingyun can get such praises.
come over.
Now "The End of Love" has done it.
Obviously, Yang Ming used this movie to conquer this film critic celebrity with tricky tastes.
In the third week, when the box office results came out, the global film market was shocked again.
The U.S. box office data for the third week of "The Ghost Story" is: 140 million yuan. Although it dropped by 50 million yuan compared to last week, it ranked first in the box office, beating the local Hollywood blockbusters that had previously occupied the first place. This film
The box office of Hollywood blockbusters this week was only 120 million yuan.
China's third week box office data for "The Love of Ghosts": 860 million yuan, once again ranking first in the weekly box office.
The general trend of box office data in other countries around the world is not much different from that of China and the United States. This week's box office of "The Love of Ghosts" has declined significantly compared to the second week, but it still remains above a certain level.
Even many movies that have just been released can't keep up with "The Love of Ghosts".
Especially in the East Asian film market, the box office of "The Last Days" in East Asian countries is just like in China. Every venue is always sold out and it is hard to get a ticket. In the United States, it may still be impacted by local Hollywood blockbusters, but in East Asia's home field, "
"The Love of Ghosts" showed an indomitable momentum, sweeping all the movies of the same period and retaining the weekly box office championship in East Asia. No one can shake it.
It has been a month since "Eagle Strikes the Sky" was released, and it has already given up the number one spot, unable to make any further impact.
Three weeks after its release, the box office performance of "The Love of Ghosts" has only declined slightly compared to the first week. This weird box office trend has not been seen for many years.
Many film companies at home and abroad looked at the box office data of "The Love of Ghosts" with their mouths agape, and kept saying: "It's really a ghost."
However, theater companies have realized that "The End of the World" is probably an extremely difficult movie to watch, and many fans must have watched it a second time after watching it once.
Through investigation, it turns out that this is indeed the case.
At least 30% of the movie fans just re-purchased tickets and watched "The Love of Ghosts" again.
In particular, a professional film magazine in Hollywood asked its readers in a survey, "Which scene in the movie do you think is the most romantic moment of love?" After this question, hundreds of thousands of answers were collected.
The one I chose was "The Love Between Ghosts", which was released only three weeks ago. In it, the scene where Yang Ming and Su Su passionately embrace each other and kiss figurines to the unrestrained melody is considered to be the most romantic moment of love.
When the film magazine announced the answer to the public, it immediately caused an uproar around the world.
Maybe this movie magazine is just a local film journal in the American Hollywood entertainment industry, but its authority is unquestionable, and the questionnaires they collect can directly contact readers and verify the identity of the personnel through return visits.
There is absolutely no way to fake it.
"The Last Love" is a love movie that has only been released for three weeks, but it has actually made countless fans think that the love story in this movie is the most beautiful, romantic and poignant love story they have ever seen in any love movie.
movie, which makes other film companies feel embarrassed.
Especially those who have never paid attention to Yang Ming's new low-budget romance film before.
"Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" swept the global box office market. After the release of "The Love of Ghosts", it became popular all over the world and made fans cry. Yang Ming successively made two films with different styles, which were a great success in the global film market and became a global entertainment
A popular and talented director.
In addition, his two films were directed, acted, and written by himself, a trinity that gave his success an unattainable and sacred aura.
The name "monster" spread from China to China and became a special term used by global media to describe this genius from China.
Yanjing Kunlun Hotel.
In a simple, bright and elegantly decorated room, Yang Ming met with several shareholders and partners of Maoyan Movies and Time Network's Chinese branch.
"Director Xiao Yang, are you going to give people a way to survive? The special effects blockbuster is so successful, I won't say anything. After all, the production cost of 1 billion yuan is not something ordinary people can afford, but your low-cost love movie
, is it too evil? Wucuo Novel Network
"A lot of words." Cao Mengsheng joked with Yang Ming with a smile, "Our Royal Entertainment has released two movies in the summer. We are attacked by you and Shangguantian one after another. We can barely keep our financial statements for this quarter."
It definitely won’t look good.”
Although the topic of today's appointment is more serious, we are all well-known big shots in the film industry, so the atmosphere will naturally not be as rigorous as a formal meeting.
Hearing this, Yang Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head. He also knew about the two movies released by Royal Entertainment.
This summer season is indeed a bit tragic.
At the beginning, "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" swept all the movies, then "The Eagle Strikes the Sky" dominated the box office list, and then "The Love of Ghosts" came out. The weird box office trend squeezed the box office of other movies.
