Chapter 89 First Day Box Office
"People in the industry are optimistic about "Super Body", and there is no problem with the box office breaking 2 million."

"The reporter interviewed the audience of "Super Body": I watched the whole process with my mouth open. "Super Body" is China's top Hollywood blockbuster."

"Time has been sped up! The audience said that the movie was so exciting that they couldn't get enough of it, and they called on the director to make a sequel as soon as possible."

"Big movies need to be shot like this! China lacks great directors who can win national awards, but China lacks even more international directors whose works can sell well all over the world!"

""Super Body" is not as good as "Taken" and "Assassin", but it is undoubtedly a successful movie. It proves that Li Mu can still make top international blockbusters without Cheng Long and Li Lianlian."

"The last peak of Chinese film was Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, and the next peak of Chinese film can only be Li Mu!"

"Li Lianhua's aura is not inferior to Hollywood superheroes, "Super Body" may help Li Lianhua to be crowned an international flower!"

"Li Lianhua's acting skills were praised, and the mother-daughter dialogue made the audience cry!"

"Sun Honglei told you how bad it is for the underworld big brother to meet a female superhero, and the audience laughed at the audience with a knife stabbed in his arm."

"First there was the fox in "Assassin", and then there was Lucy in "Super Body". The battle of Huayi's first sister is over, Fan Binbin is left behind, Zhou Xun's influence is lacking, and Li Lianhua has no one in Huayi. battle."

As "Super Body" was officially released on a large scale across the country on June 6, the four major portal websites, print media, TV programs, and online forums began to flood with various information about "Super Body", among which positive reviews accounted for an overwhelming majority. Most, but also some film critics made sharp criticisms of "Super Body".

At noon, Douban.com's score was officially released. 6 people gave "Super Body" a score of 7.7, which is not as good as "Taken"'s 8.5 and "Assassin''s 7.9, but it is already a relatively good score.

Potential audiences all over the Internet are paying attention to the evaluation of "Super Body".

at the end of the world.

"Friends who have watched it tell me whether "Super Body" is good or not? I really like the director Li Mu, but after watching the trailer, I feel that the setting of the movie is a bit nonsense!"

"Let me tell you, the setting of the movie is indeed a bit of a nonsense, but after the movie starts, no one will actually worry about it. The popcorn movie is over when it's cool, so am I happy? I can say very responsibly, it's cool, and It's not just cool, it's really cool!"

"What's the matter? You still want to write a thesis after watching the movie? If you are entangled in this and that, you deserve it because you don't have a movie to watch. When you can verify whether the entanglement is unreasonable in the laboratory, director Li Mu flicked his wrist , the little bullet flew out and turned a 360-degree bend, and then Biu hit the bullseye of 3.55 million US dollars, shocking the world! And now you are struggling with the human brain to only develop 10% is not reasonable? Li Murang Li Lianhua rolled on the ceiling and pried open Newton's coffin, and the inside was full of gold!"

"Damn, incisive! Isn't it just watching a movie? Why bother so much, it's over for fun! Superman and aliens will fly in the sun, and the Hulk will be invincible when exposed to gamma rays. Are you going to try to irradiate one?"

"Biu's sound hit the bull's-eye of 3.55 million U.S. dollars - I was laughed to death by this sentence, explain, 3.55 million U.S. dollars is the box office of "Assassin", and Biu's 360-degree turn is a super handsome shot by the fox group to destroy the Assassin's Guild .Okay, don’t worry about it, I’m going to buy a ticket.”

"I also bought a ticket to go, and the works of the director who can write "The Martian", "Inception", "Interstellar", "Gravity" and "Moon" are so bad, how bad can they be? Well, I In fact, the loyal readers of "Science Fiction World" used to only read Liu Cixin, but now they only read Liu Cixin and Li Mu, I am a book fan, and I will also be a movie fan in the future."

"Let's go together! Senior Li Mu's movie must be supported. I am from Xijing Political Science and Law. Senior Li Mu is a legend in school."

In the most popular post bars and related post bars of Li Mu, Li Lianhua and other main creators.

"I have come back from watching the movie, here is my movie ticket, 43 a piece, it's really fucking expensive, but the movie is also really fucking good!"

"Highly recommended, Li Lianhua is super handsome, I love it, and her acting skills are the highlight."

"Well, Li Lianhua's acting skills have really improved a lot. In "Super Body" at the beginning, he was brainless and short-sighted, and then he was afraid, and the truth was revealed when he was on the phone with his mother. After the brain continued to develop, he lost fear, desire, and pain. Even all of humanity. There is a huge contrast between the characters before and after, and Li Lianhua has done a great job."

"I'm a little moved by what I said, tomorrow Saturday, why don't you go and see it too?"

"Go, the level of Hollywood blockbusters is definitely worth the ticket price."

"I wanted to wait to see if there was a half-price event, forget it, don't wait, I'll see it tomorrow."

Of course, there are also some netizens who have negative comments on the movie.

"To be honest, the movie is very mediocre. Compared with "Taken", Li Mu has been too self-indulgent since "Assassin". First, there is a bullet turning, and then there is only 10% of the brain developed. It's just for fun. , you can abandon all basic logic for the sake of being cool, I think Li Mu is at the end of his talents."

"I admit that "Taken" is a top-level movie, but the director of that film is Chen Musheng, and Cheng Long played the decisive role. I heard that when "Assassin" was filmed, Li Mu's right to speak was greatly improved because of "The Hunger Games" in the United States. , and even suppressed the connection between Long and Li during the process, and ended up shooting a nonsense "Assassin". It lost all the biggest advantages of "Taken", and then turned some dross into treasures."

Then the painting style of the reply below changed unconsciously.

"At the beginning, you said that the movie is very average and can't be compared with "Taken". I was a little hesitant, because I have seen many people say that the movie is not as good as "Taken". But then you said that "Taken" starring Cheng Long and Li Lianlian Assassin is dross? Well, I’m going to buy a ticket—can you imagine a 43-year-old middle-aged uncle, after watching “Assassin”, he went to the store to buy a pair of extremely shameful blue What is it like to have a plastic toy gun and then keep practicing shaking hands? Yes, I am that dick!"

"Hey! Can I say that I have practiced hand gestures for three days? My wife thought I was crazy."

"Buying tickets and buying tickets has been compared with "Assassin", so why hesitate? You must buy tickets, and you have to buy standing tickets!"

"Brother, there are no standing tickets in the cinema, what are you doing for the Spring Festival travel festival?"

On Douban.

"Although Morgan Freeman said seriously that the 10% theory of the human brain is a bit of a joke, I have to say that the time travel scene at the end of the film is really cool."

"It's unspeakably good. I almost missed the premiere because of some comments on the Internet. After watching it, I realized that this movie is really amazing."

"It's too hot, and some unreasonable parts are automatically ignored. The setting of this film is actually very touching. I would like to add that the scene where Lucy and the ape-man's fingers intersect at the end is a tribute to Michelangelo's famous painting "Genesis."

"Li Mu knows better than anyone that some movie settings are ridiculous, but he also knows that making movies like this will look good. Dissatisfied? You know, he wrote "Mars" that NASA collectively couldn't pick out a few faults. People from "Rescue", do you think Li Mu doesn't know that the film's setting is not rigorous? He made it clear that he wanted to sacrifice rigor to look good. Such a smart and rigorous person is desperately trying to get closer to a good movie. Why do you think it's not good? ?”

……

On June 6, Li Mu led the main film creators to shuttle between several large theaters in Beijing.Beijing is one of the most important ticket warehouses in the country, and publicity work is naturally the top priority. As a director, Li Mu is his duty to run publicity, and he cannot escape.

Running publicity is very tiring and boring. Every theater has a very different process. They interact with the audience in the same way, answer the same questions, put on the same smiles, and do the same actions. They treat people like marionettes. .

After returning home, I sat on the sofa for a while, and unexpectedly fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and I made a simple supper for myself. After eating, I sat in front of the computer and browsed netizens. their comments.

"It seems that the box office should be stable. It is definitely no problem to break 2 million domestically, and there is hope to break 2.5 million. Let's see the follow-up box office curve."

After comprehensively referring to the comments of netizens, as well as the feeling when running the promotion, the film schedule of the cinema, the quality of the movie, and the achievements of the previous life, Li Mu finally came to his own judgment.

At 6:23 on June 0, an email was sent to Li Mu's mailbox, and Li Mu opened it immediately.

Skipping through the long box office analysis, Li Mu's eyes locked on the most important figures in that line:
1600 million!
The box office of "Super Body" on the first day was 1600 million yuan!

Li Mu stared at this number for 2 minutes, then turned off the computer, took a shower and went to sleep.

The box office on the first day was 1600 million, which was enough for Li Mu to get half a good night's sleep, and for the other half to watch the film's performance in the North American market.
