My singer girlfriend is super fierce

After staying at Yu's house for two days, Ye Zhiqiu's short vacation came to an end.

He first returned to Huahai City, visited Huahai Entertainment and the "Autumn of Light" studio, arranged some work, and then went to Huahai International Airport, boarded the Gulfstream G650, and flew directly to Europe.

On the one hand, he is continuing his global concert tour. On the other hand, as the World Cup approaches, as the composer and singer of the theme song and the spokesperson for Pepsi, one of the largest sponsors, he needs to cooperate with FIFA, the International Football Federation, to carry out some promotional activities.

It is foreseeable that he will be busy until the end of the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

On the other hand, when Ye Zhiqiu flew to Europe, the National Day holiday ended. Workers went to work and students went to school. The cumulative box office of various movies during the National Day period was also released.

"Memories of My Motherland" grossed 18.5 billion yuan, ranking first!

"Green Snake: Three Lives of Love" grossed 11.4 billion yuan, ranking second.

"Special Operations" grossed 9.5 million yuan, ranking third.

"No Man's Land" took in 3.6 million yuan, ranking fourth.

This box office ranking is generally similar to what industry insiders predicted before, but there are some unexpected aspects.

Some media are extremely excited about the fact that "No Man's Land" currently has a box office of "only" less than 4 million yuan, which is far from the strength of its predecessor "Dying to Survive". From time to time, one can see some highly targeted reports on the Internet.

[The new film was a flop, and Ye Zhiqiu failed miserably at the box office after he refused to accept the award at the awards ceremony! ]

[Ye Zhiqiu's tried-and-true dramas have mediocre box office performances. Are audiences not buying them? ]

[Does the poor box office performance of "No Man's Land" mean that Ye Zhiqiu's directorial attempt has failed? 】

In addition to the media with ulterior motives, there are also some black fans who make sarcastic remarks in the comment sections of various forums, saying things like "the box office flopped" and "it's less than one-third of Green Snake" and so on.

There are also many rebuttals to these remarks.

"No Man's Land just didn't have that much of a box office hit, but it's not a box office flop, right?"

"The quality of a movie cannot be judged solely by its box office. No Man's Land has a Douban score of 8.8, while Green Snake has a score of 7.7. There is a big gap between these two movies..."

"Maybe it's because I'm old, I really can't stand watching 3D fairy tale romance movies with simple plots like "Green Snake". Instead, I like realistic movies like "No Man's Land."

"An industry insider would like to say that in fact, No Man's Land is the one that made a fortune quietly. Although Green Snake had a high box office, its production cost was also high, reportedly over 3 million. Based on the current box office of over 11 billion, after deducting various taxes and theater shares, the producer received about 3.8 million, and it is estimated that it has only been a short time since it broke even. However, the production cost of No Man's Land was only about 4000 million, and Ye Zhiqiu, this eccentric person, did all the work of screenwriter, director, and leading actor, so the share ratio must be higher than that of Green Snake. Maybe it is making more money than Green Snake now..."

At the same time, a "strange" phenomenon appeared on the Internet.

Although the box office of "No Man's Land" is not very high, the number of online film reviews far exceeds that of other films of the same period.

After all, there is really nothing much to analyze about "green snake" and "Special Ops", but "No Man's Land" has a lot of details.

Among them, the one with the most likes was a long article posted by "Dashu Film Review". This royal sister blogger, who had long since turned into Ye Zhiqiu, praised the article as always.

“No Man’s Land is a brave attempt at a rare genre in the Chinese film industry, a reference to Western genre films, and a localized interpretation of the road movie theme.”

"When evaluating a director's work, we often use one word to express it: skill. This word seems empty and abstract, but it actually has very specific technical indicators. For example, the design and use of scenes is one of the important contents. In the simple gas station in the play, Ye Zhiqiu created three exciting and dramatic scenes..."

"At the same time, what surprised me the most was the reflection on 'human nature' that Ye Zhiqiu put into a commercial film like 'No Man's Land'. This film is similar to 'Crazy Stone', but different from the latter's black humor, which makes people laugh, it expresses the exploration of the connotation of human nature through a series of events and behaviors..."

"Box office is the market standard for the 'success' of commercial films, but it is not the standard for 'excellence'. Moreover, No Man's Land is expected to earn 5 million yuan in box office during its entire release period. For a debut film by a new director, isn't this considered a success?"

As soon as this film review came out, it quickly resonated with many netizens.

Yeah, when did the standards for a film's "success" become so high?

It can only be said that Ye Zhiqiu’s previous brilliant achievements have made many people ignore the fact that "No Man's Land" is only Ye Zhiqiu's directorial debut.

......

Ye Zhiqiu, who had already set off for Europe for a concert, had no time to pay attention to the online commotion.

On October 10, the “VIVA” global tour concert opened in Berlin, the first stop in Europe.

At the Berlin Olympic Stadium, known as the "Golden Dome", all 7.4 seats were packed and the atmosphere on the day of the concert was extremely warm.

The next day, almost all of Europe's entertainment media headlines were filled with reports about the concert.

"7.4 people were celebrating! He conquered the whole crowd!"

“After North America, Jackson Ye’s music has taken Europe by storm!”

"This is the greatest international pop star Europe has ever seen, apart from Jackson!"

After Berlin, it was Paris, and then London... It can be said that with each sold-out concert, Ye Zhiqiu's reputation and popularity among fans throughout Europe and even the world are constantly accumulating.

This heat has gradually spread.

There is no need for any promotion at all. As soon as the tickets for Ye Zhiqiu's concert were released, they were sold out in seconds, and the prices skyrocketed in the second-hand market.

Not only are hotel and restaurant prices rising, many fans are coming from other cities, and even more outrageous is that even the price of local tents has risen...

It can be said that any city where Ye Zhiqiu holds a concert is not only a grand event for his fans, but also for local businesses. Some other businesses even become jealous and ask the local government to invite Ye Zhiqiu to hold a concert.

Ye Zhiqiu's concert is in full swing here, and in China, with the end of the holiday, the box office growth of "No Man's Land" has slowed down, but it has reached 4.5 million yuan.

Based on the 30-day release schedule of a typical movie, it shouldn't be difficult to break 5 million at the box office.

At the same time, in domestic theaters, a movie from South Korea quietly appeared on the waiting list.
