Chapter 314 Nearly 3 million in 7 days, Tang Tan pulled out his teeth and became 4
"Do you really understand "Detective Chinatown"?"

“I’m horrified to think about it, where did Sompa’s son Dan and the memory card in Sompa’s camera go?”

"It can be seen from the details of the film that the relationship between Sinuo and Sompa's son Dan is actually very good. So why would Sompa suspect that Sinuo killed Sompa? Sompa is gay, and Sinuo's adoptive father has a perverted attitude towards Sinuo. Love, so is it possible that Dan is actually the object of his biological father Songpa's venting? Sinuo and Dan both have a perverted father. They share the same illness, so they have a good relationship. So is it possible that the reason why Sinuo designed Killing Songpa is actually to help Dan completely get rid of the perverted beast father Songpa? So is Sinuo good or evil?"

"A piece of paper can only stand up after being folded in half. A person can only stand up if he has both good and evil. Pure good and pure evil are not real people. Sinuo is a bad person when he borrows a knife to kill people. Sinuo is also a good person when he avenges Dan. Good and evil are not static.”

"Sinuo's adoptive father said I love you twice before he jumped off the building and committed suicide. In fact, he already knew that he was deceived by Sinuo..."

……

"Detective Chinatown" is funny enough, and Chinese people have always had a special preference for good comedy movies.

The reasoning part of "Detective Chinatown" exceeded the expectations of most viewers, which is undoubtedly a huge surprise for many viewers.

The final twist of "Detective Chinatown" stunned countless viewers. Many people were frightened by Zhang Zifeng's last smile, and at the same time, their evaluation of the film inevitably skyrocketed.

"Detective Chinatown" not only entertained the audience, but also left the audience slightly shocked when they read the online reviews after leaving the theater. It turned out that there were so many details in the film that they had not noticed. It turns out that under the superficial ending, there are so many hidden plots that look very reasonable and are extremely scary to consider.

Now netizens have a higher evaluation of "Tang Detective", and many people even rank it above the classic comedy "The Richest Man in Xihong City". You must know that "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has just created 33.7 billion Mainland box office record.

There are too many people praising it, which will inevitably cause some controversy. Many netizens who haven't had a chance to watch it have expressed their opinions on the film.

"It seems that "Tang Detective" should be good, but to say it is better than "Xihong City" is too exaggerated, right?"

""Xihong City" is the best comedy after "Fei Jian", bar none. Although I haven't watched "Tang Detective" yet, I have a gut feeling that everyone has gone too far this time!"

"I just walked out of the theater. How can I put it? Everyone has their own preferences. In my opinion, "Tang Detective" is indeed better than "Xihong City". I hope it will have a good box office."

"The rating of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has dropped to 7.4 points, and the rating of "Tang Detective" has just come out, with a score of 8.1. It is enough for a comedy movie to have this rating."

""Tang Detective" is definitely a very rare comedy suspense movie. I can't understand why Hua Shang has to be released together with "Transformers 4" this time. If this movie is scheduled in the right time, it will definitely cost 20 billion!"

The vast majority of viewers who have watched "Tang Detective" are full of praise for the film, but at the same time, the vast majority of netizens agree that the film was chosen at the wrong time.

Yes, the mouth of "Transformers 4" seems to be average, and even the Douban score is only 6.9, which is much lower than "Tang Detective", but that is "Transformers 4"!

Just relying on this IP, how useful is "Tang Detective" no matter how good it looks?
So is "Tang Detective" a good movie?
Absolutely!
So how does "Tang Detective" compare with "Transformers 4"?
I guess it would be great if it could take half of the box office of "Transformers 4"!Even though the current schedules of the two films are almost the same.

Yes, this is the evaluation given by the vast majority of netizens after watching the two films respectively.

Outrageous?
It may seem a bit outrageous, but don’t forget that the previous installments of the “Transformers” series have always been at the ceiling of the mainland film market.Now that the mainland box office ceiling has reached the 30 billion level, is there anything wrong with "Transformers 4" taking 30 billion?
Half of 30 billion is 15 billion. It is a small-budget comedy directed by Chen Sicheng, who is not well-known. If you can get 15 billion, you already think highly of him, right?

His last work "Beijing Love Story" only had a box office of 6.3 million. "Tang Detective" is indeed very good, but who told you to choose to release it on the same day as the famous "Transformers 4"?

Even Chen Sicheng himself was a little lacking in confidence.

Before the film was officially released, producers Chen Zhixi and Chen Sicheng said that netizens predicted that the film would earn 15 billion at the box office. Chen Sicheng was quite happy when he heard this, but Chen Zhixi went on to say that netizens had predicted it based on half of "Transformers 4". Chen Sicheng's grin was a little forced.

But this is not over yet, and then Chen Zhixi said again, saying that netizens said that at least 15 million of the 5 billion box office was due to the four words "screenwriter Li Mu".

Well, Chen Sicheng's split mouth closed by itself, how could he still be in the mood to laugh?

You worked so hard to make a movie, but one-third of the box office was attributed to Mr. Li who never went to the set?

Where do you want him to go to reason?

Netizens predict that it will earn 15 billion, so how much box office did "Detective Chinatown" get?Is it possible to reach the 15 billion that netizens randomly guessed?
This matter has not yet been decided, but the entire Internet is paying attention.

To say that the influence of the "Transformers" IP in China is really extraordinary, on June 6, the day the film was released, "Transformers 27" earned a total of 4 million yuan in box office. The data is quite strong. Many Chinese families are one family. The whole family went into the theater together.

And what about "Detective Chinatown"?

The film's reputation is still higher than that of "Transformers 4", and its film schedule is only 2 points lower than its rivals. However, the box office on the first day was only 1.58 million yuan, which is about 4% of that of "Transformers 60". It is obvious that "Detective Chinatown" The attendance rate of "The Case" is not as good as that of "Transformers 4".

Many netizens who really like "Detective Chinatown" can't help but feel disappointed. In the eyes of many people, what's so good about "Transformers 4"?Two robots hugging each other and wrestling are so beautiful?In the words of some filmmakers, "Transformers 4" is just a robot-made pornographic film. The film is obviously very average, but the box office result is better than "Detective Chinatown". Where does this make sense?

In addition to netizens, director Chen Sicheng himself was not very satisfied with this result.In fact, the achievement of 1.58 million on the first day has met his inner expectations, but after all, this achievement has not created a miracle. Although if everyone can create a miracle, then the miracle is not a miracle, but Li Mu can create a miracle every three days, I Chen Sicheng spent three to five years making a film and still couldn't create anything?
But now it seems that he is obviously not the chosen one like Director Li, and a job like box office miracle will obviously not happen to him easily.

Let’s be realistic. We’ll be satisfied if we can get 15 billion at the box office.

On June 6, Saturday, the second day after the film was released, the box office of both films had a very obvious climb.

On the second day after its release, the single-day box office of "Transformers 4" actually reached 3.25 million yuan - it actually exceeded 3 million yuan in a single day. Isn't this a huge figure?
However, "Detective Chinatown" performed equally well on the second day, taking in a total of 2.37 million yuan. Although it was still nearly 4 million yuan behind "Transformers 9000", its single-day box office has increased from the previous share of "Transformers 4" The share increased from 60% to about 72.9% the next day. This is a very good sign, indicating that the reputation of "Detective Chinatown" is continuing to ferment.

At the same time, according to Maoyan Movies, starting from the third day of release, the film schedule of "Transformers 4" will increase from 50% on the first day to 52%. As for how these two increases came from, of course it is It was moved from the schedule of other films. As for the specific film schedule it was moved from, no need to think about it, it is of course "Detective Chinatown".

Now the scheduling of these two films has reached over 98%.

That’s right, due to mediocre performance on the first day, the film schedule of “Detective Chinatown” will drop to about 46%.

In the past, 48% vs. 50% could not beat it. In the future, 46% vs. 52% will obviously be even less fruitful, even if it seems that "Detective Chinatown" has more stamina.

Soon it was the third day of the film’s release.

On the third day, "Transformers 4" grossed a total of 2.93 million yuan at the box office, a slight decrease from the second day, while "Detective Chinatown" took in a box office of 2.57 million yuan on the third day, which was even higher than the second day. It was still a full 2000 million yuan higher. You must know that the film schedule of "Detective Chinatown" dropped to about 46% on the third day.

Although the film schedule was lower, the final box office fell for two consecutive days. Under the head-on competition from the world-class IP "Transformers 4", the performance of "Detective Chinatown" is getting better and better, and its proportion of the box office is also changing. The scores are getting higher and higher, which makes many people who did not understand the arrangement of Hua Shang Media and were waiting to see Hua Shang Media's jokes stunned.

That's "Transformers 4"!
How can a little-known director in Hua Shang make a small-budget comedy and grab food from the tiger's mouth in "Transformers 4"?

However, many netizens who like "Tang Detective" very much are very excited about this. Finally, a comedy that suits the taste is released, and it is also a very good mystery drama. Everyone is looking forward to "Tang Detective" having good box office results. .

In the first three days of the film's release, including on-demand and off-site screenings, "Transformers 4" had a cumulative box office of 9.32 million yuan, while "Tang Detective" had a total box office of 6.92 million yuan as of the third day.

The three-day cumulative box office of "Tang Detective" has increased from only 4% of "Transformers 60" on the first day of release to 74% on the third day. At this time, most people have already seen that "Tang Detective" has considerable stamina. .

According to the data of the first three days, three times the box office of the previous three days is probably the final box office. The final box office of "Transformers 4" is likely to reach 28 billion yuan, and the final box office of "Tang Detective" is also likely to be Breaking through the 20 billion yuan mark.

Although it is still far inferior to "Transformers 4", Hua Shang's small-budget comedy "The Richest Man in Xihong City" during the Spring Festival has just received more than 30 billion at the box office. As a result, Hua Shang will be born again in just a few months. A low-budget movie worth 20 billion?
Is it over yet?
Not to mention that "Passengers" just took in a global box office of 6.51 million US dollars some time ago. Everyone is jealous of this kind of big investment science fiction movie, but are all the comedy movies with such a small investment so good?
Where did this Chen Sicheng come from?Wasn't he just an ordinary little actor before?Why is it suddenly so great to just make a movie?
Is this because all the talents have been poached by Hua Shang, or is it that even ordinary people can become talents as long as they get to Hua Shang?
All in all, the box office performance of "Tang Detective" exceeded many people's expectations. Everyone really didn't expect that "Tang Detective" could really pull out its teeth in the jaws of "Transformers 4". The key is that this thing seems to be successful!

And looking at the follow-up performance of "Tang Detective", I'm afraid not many people will be surprised if the single-day box office of "Tang Detective" exceeds that of "Transformers 4".

"Transformers 4" is very good, but its box office curve is not as good as "Tang Detective". As "Tang Detective" reversed its decline for two consecutive days, theaters quietly increased its film schedule. At the same time, Netizens have also begun to discuss whether "Tang Detective", a dark horse at the box office, can break the 20 billion yuan mark.

Thinking that just a few days ago, there were still a large number of netizens who believed that "Tang Detective" could not get more than 15 billion yuan at the box office, Chen Sicheng felt that this time he was really too proud.

However, the fly in the ointment is that when many netizens discuss the success of "Tang Detective", they often give the greatest share of credit to Li Mu, but it is clear that he, Chen Sicheng, is the director of the film!
"I didn't expect "Tang Detective" to have such a high box office. Chen Sicheng is quite good. He has really become a talent this time."

"I don't know about others. Anyway, I only went to see it because Li Mu is the screenwriter."

"I dare say that if the screenwriter hadn't been Li Mu, "Tang Detective" would have reached 10 billion at the box office. Now it looks like it can get 20 billion? I'm so impressed that Li Mu is indeed a god-like man."

Seeing these comments on the Internet, Chen Sicheng almost became angry and vomited blood.

Obviously, netizens were still discussing it before the film was officially released. It was expected that if it could get 15 billion at the box office, then at least 5 million of it would be due to Li Mu. As a result, the box office of "Tang Detective" has exceeded expectations, and even dropped from the 15 billion level. After being upgraded to the 20 billion level, 20 billion of the 10 billion miles was due to Li Mu?
Chen Sicheng's movie was a box office hit, but his credit was still 10 billion, but the screenwriter's credit increased from 5 million to 10 billion?
Is there any netizen in this class who understands mathematics?Is this how the credit is calculated?If "Tang Detective" finally gets a box office of 30 billion this time, is it Chen Sicheng's credit or is the 10 billion unchanged for thousands of years?
Then the remaining 20 billion is all Li Mu's credit?

At this time, his own movie was constantly conquering the city and was unstoppable, with both word-of-mouth and box office hits. However, Chen Sicheng couldn't be happy. Not only was he unhappy, but he suddenly had the illusion of living in Li Mu's shadow. This feeling made him quite unhappy. Comfortable.

So what is Li Mu doing now who makes Chen Sicheng feel like he is living in the shadows?
He returned to Xijing.

He and Liu Yifei's wedding was scheduled for July 7th. Liu Yifei had personally said that he wanted to make the wedding a big one. Naturally, Li Mu had to handle this small request.

And Liu Yifei's idea makes sense. Why do so many actors hype up scandals before the film is released?Because actors are so popular, even if you don't say a word to promote a new movie, the movie's popularity will follow.

This time the wedding of the two people is scheduled for July 7th, and the global release date of "Interstellar" is July 5th. In a movie, the male and female protagonists held a wedding of the century before the movie was officially released. This obviously can Greatly increase the popularity and box office of "Interstellar".

So Li Mu has thought about it. Since he has decided to make the wedding bigger, he might as well make it as big as possible. Xiao Ming can hold the wedding of the century. With his and Liu Yifei's status, they can hold it better than Xiao Ming in the previous life. A little bigger isn't too much, right?
As for the venue of the wedding, after comprehensive consideration, Li Mu and Liu Yifei finally decided to hold it in Xijing. This is Li Mu's hometown and the city where they first met. It is reasonable and reasonable to choose this place.
