Chapter 455
On the first day of its release, "The Outsider" won a box office of 2.2 million, which can be said to have attracted the attention of many people in the circle.

It is not a good schedule to know the release time of "The Outsider", but because of the number of films scheduled, "The Outsider" still won a lot of money at the box office.

On the second day after its release, the number of films scheduled for "The Outsider" went even further, reaching 52%. Although the box office has dropped, it still reached 1.8 million.

In the next few days, "The Outsider" was released for a full week, and the box office successfully exceeded 10 billion in the first week, which can be said to have caught the attention of countless people.

If it is a long holiday during the Spring Festival, then this number may not be very good, but you must know that this is the box office that was obtained in the off-season before the Spring Festival.

Therefore, many media have praised that Xuanhuang Film and Television's strategy of avoiding powerful competitors this time is obviously very wise and successful.

And in the past few days, "Infernal Affairs" and "Marginal Man" have also carried out the last crazy hype before the release.

Both online and offline are being promoted with the greatest strength. This time has reached the most critical moment, which has a crucial impact on the subsequent success or failure.

So both sides are you singing and I appear on the stage, desperately promoting their respective movies.

Promotional meetings, press conferences, roadshows, no matter which artist is on the show, they must promote the movie they star in, and from time to time, some tidbits from the filming of the movie will be revealed.

Although the two films are in a competitive relationship, they are also bundled and promoted at the same time, and they influence each other. The publicity effect achieved is obviously 1+1 greater than 2.

Even because the two films hurt each other and competed with each other, they were often used together for publicity and hype, but they overwhelmed all the films of the same period, a situation of dual powers competing for hegemony.

All eyes inside and outside the circle are focused on these two films.

New Year's Day, the first day of the Spring Festival schedule!

"Infernal Affairs" and "Marginal Man" are released nationwide at the same time!
It is also a blockbuster movie, but because there are actually more than these two blockbuster movies released during the Spring Festival, in terms of film schedule, it is obviously not comparable to the first day of the previous release of "The Outsider".

However, the previous large-scale publicity still had a certain effect.

The number of films on the edge of "Marginal Man" came out on top, reaching 25%.

This is enough to show that Tianxing's energy in publishing is still strong.

You must know that this is the Spring Festival schedule with a large number of movies.

In the second place is "Infernal Affairs" with 19% of the film schedule, which is enough to show that the two films are still the biggest competitors.

Ranked third is a new film with the main theme "Fighting Alone" released by Huaying.

However, it has been released for a week, and the number of films scheduled for "The Outsider", which entered the second week of screenings, has been cut in half and cut in half, and only 12% of the film schedule has been obtained.

However, for "The Outsider", this is too normal.

Fan Wencheng is extremely nervous at this moment, because although "Infernal Affairs" is still overwhelmed by "Marginal Man", it is still the biggest and most direct competitor of "Marginal Man".

In order to inquire about the situation of the enemy, or want to know about the competitors, today Fan Wencheng did not appear in the screening hall of "The Marginal Man", but bought a ticket for "Infernal Affairs", intending to find out.

Because of the previous critics' comments and fans' word-of-mouth, "Infernal Affairs" surpasses "Marginal Man".

In addition, Fan Wencheng had read the script of "Infernal Affairs", so he really wanted to see what it would turn out in the end.

Entering the movie theater, Fan Wencheng was a little surprised at the attendance rate of "Infernal Affairs", the huge movie hall was almost full.

The screen went dark and the movie officially started.

The audience fell silent, and the logo of the opening film Tower Studio appeared on the screen.
The big screen is dark, and against the gloomy background, ghosts, gods and Buddha statues set the tone of the entire film.

"Nirvana Sutra No.19 volume: the most of the eight hells, called the endless hell."

Many viewers frowned, "What is this? I don't understand it."

"Isn't it a gangster movie? Why does it feel weird, this is the beginning."

However, Fan Wencheng knew that the beginning of "Infernal Affairs" and the story of the whole film can be said to be a perfect fit.

The movie was played step by step, and the audience's comments gradually subsided as the movie's plot progressed, and everyone's attention was attracted by the tense plot.

Even Fan Wencheng is no exception. Although he has read the script and knows the general story, the script is still very different from the movie.

The first climax of the movie appeared very quickly, that is, the confrontation between the police and the robbers, and the exchange of Morse code, which was so tense that it was suffocating.

The audience at the scene couldn't help holding their breath, and stared at the big screen with wide eyes.

Fan Wencheng's mood at the moment is complicated. On the one hand, even if he doesn't want to admit the effect of this film, he has to say that Yang Hao's level is indeed very good.

Just thinking that this film is the biggest and most direct competitor of "On the Edge" doesn't make him happy at all.

Especially when he saw Chen Yongren played by Lin Xiao, Fan Wencheng frowned tightly.

He couldn't help but compare Hu Bin, the leading actor in "The Marginal Man", who is also an undercover agent, with Chen Yongren.

In the end, he found to his dismay that, compared with Chen Yongren, there was a big gap in the design and performance of Hu Bin's character.

It's not about the gap in actors, but Hu Bin in "The Marginal Man" actually didn't have too many opportunities for extreme performances. On the other hand, in "Infernal Affairs", Chen Yongren, played by Lin Xiao, is almost a drama from beginning to end. .

His suspicion, pain, forbearance, thinking, etc., all let the audience understand Chen Yongren's feelings at once, and it seems that Chen Yongren is the embodiment of an undercover agent.

On the other hand, Hu Bin, although there was an explosive scene as soon as he appeared on the stage, but it was more for the big scene and the big scene.

If there is no comparison with Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs", perhaps the irrationality of Hu Bin's character and identity is not obvious, but there will be harm if there is a comparison.

At this moment, Fan Wencheng suddenly discovered that Hu Bin's personality was far from that of an undercover agent.

In fact, it’s not to say that an undercover agent must not have a personality like Hu Bin’s. It’s just that if he wants his personality to fit the identity of an undercover agent, the movie must justify itself, and obviously in "The Marginal Man", he did not do this.

Another thing that makes Fan Wencheng regret is that Lin Xiao's acting skills can be said to have greatly exceeded Fan Wencheng's expectations.

Especially those eyes, even if they are not much better than those of the active film kings, no, they are even better.

Because he still can't think of any actor whose eyes can be compared with Lin Xiao.

This involuntarily reminded him of his doubts about him when Lin Xiao asked him to talk about "Infernal Affairs".

Although Wang Pengfei's performance was also very exciting, Fan Wencheng was still unconsciously attracted by Lin Xiao's eyes.

The eyes that can talk, the eyes that tell stories, probably refer to Lin Xiao's acting style.
