With the first part of "Painted Skin" as a foundation, no matter how bad the second part is, it won't be any worse.

But no one expected that "Painted Skin 2" would be such a sweep.

The box office on the first day (including midnight) exceeded 80 million, setting a record for the highest first-day and single-day box office for a Chinese-language film in the mainland!

It is difficult to get a ticket in some theaters. On the first day of Taopiaopiao platform, 20,000 tickets at 9.9 and 70,000 at 19.9 were sold out within 10 seconds of going on sale.

Everyone seems to have gone back to the craziness they had when watching "The Martian" in 2009 and "Avatar" in 2010.

"The special effects are so beautiful! The entire world of gods and ghosts in Liaozhai is restored very well! It's hard to believe that this special effect was made by a company that was only established for 5 years." With the investment and support of Tiangong Yicai at any cost, the special effects production is a masterpiece

It can already be compared with the established manufacturers.

"The story is not particularly good, but Mr. Zhou once again proved that she is the spirit of the movie. As long as she stands there, with a look or a line, no one else can take their eyes off her."

"The monster hunter played by Zhu Yawen is also great. It is completely different from Huang Xiaoming's in the first film. He has his own flavor. Although it was difficult to play with the best actor and best actor, he completed the task smoothly."

"What I want to watch is Chen Kun and Mr. Zhou. I don't care what the story is."

Of course, there are also negative reviews, but "Painted Skin 2" has already gained momentum, earning 300 million in four days. The entire National Day market is supported by "Painted Skin 2".

You mean "The Legend of White Snake"?

8 million on the first day, followed by "Painted Skin 2", 53 million in 4 days.

Even "Painted Wall" now earns five to six million in revenue every day, while "White Snake" is a complete loser!

Seeing that they couldn't do it in China, the crew of "White Snake" began to turn their perspective overseas.

It is said that they have achieved a weekly box office of more than 1 million US dollars overseas, especially in Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and other places, and successfully topped the local championship.

These markets are relatively small, and it is really not easy to have 1 million US dollars.

The official Weibo of "Painted Skin 2" directly threw out this data:

""Painted Skin 2" was released simultaneously in China, Japan and South Korea. The number of moviegoers in South Korea exceeded one million in its first weekend, and the box office in Japan exceeded US$1.37 million."

The slap in the face came so fast, like a tornado.

Later, it was reported that the crew of "White Snake" was shortlisted for this year's Sitges International Fantasy Film Festival in Spain.

Hmm...this film festival is quite valuable.

One of the three major fantasy film festivals in the world, Cheng Yuanna's first award was another award from the Brussels Fantasy Film Festival in Belgium.

However, using this kind of small prize for marketing is a bit too dismissive of "Painted Skin 2"?

Mr. Zhou is a three-gold movie queen!

Chen Kun is also the double actor of Huabiao and Baihua.

Not to mention that director Chen Jiashang was the Best Director at the Academy Awards, and producer Cheng Yuan was the Best Director at Venice.

"The Legend of White Snake" is probably out of ideas.

Faced with such dismal box office results, Li Lianlian, the biggest star of their crew, was unwilling to say anything more and even half-jokingly disclosed the scam of "The Legend of White Snake":

"Lao Cui (Cui Baozhu, producer of "The Legend of White Snake") and I are old acquaintances. She said that you should play Fa Hai for me."

"I thought to myself, in "The Legend of White Snake", Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi must have the most scenes, and Fa Hai can only catch monsters. There are so many stunts, so I agreed without wasting time."

"I said I could play Fahai, but don't let me play the leading role. Let Huang Shengyi play the leading role. She said what would you name it as? I said how about I make a guest appearance."

"She said that guest roles were not allowed and that Seung-yi would be the lead actor, so you should star. But after filming, I saw that they were all lead actors, so she gave me the first one."

"I said this is "The Legend of White Snake", not "The Legend of Fahai"."

Li Lianjie's words made the crew of "The Legend of White Snake" very embarrassed, but it was hard to say anything to Li Lianjie.

After all, Li Lianjie was invited by Cui Baozhu, and Li took over the filming of this film entirely to repay Cui Baozhu's favor. Your crew also lied to others and said it would only take 10 days to film, but it ended up taking 25 days.

On the fourth day of the National Day holiday, the box office of "Painted Skin 2" officially exceeded 500 million!

It took 7 days.

Although the schedule will be freed up for other films in the later period, once the head effect occurs, it cannot be saved by scheduling two more scenes.

As of the end of the National Day holiday, "Revolution of 1911" reported a box office of 40 million, officially announcing the end of star-studded theme-themed gift films.

"Painting on the Wall" grossed 150 million, firmly ranking as the runner-up in the National Day season.

"The Legend of White Snake" ranked third with 132 million.

Guangxian is very satisfied with this result. If he hadn't listened to Cheng Yu'an and decided to play "Revolution of 1911", who knows how badly he would have been beaten by "Painted Skin 2".

"Painting on the Wall" still has nearly half a month to be released, and it should not be difficult to reach a box office of 200 million. Calculating this, "Painting on the Wall" will not lose money, and may even make a small profit.

It’s a good start for the first film of the main control.

"Yangzi said that the box office of "The Legend of White Snake" did not meet expectations because someone deliberately discredited the movie. What do you think of this, Mr. Wang?"

The reporter was interviewing Wang Zhonglei, who was idle during the National Day holiday. This year, Huayi gave up his place during the National Day holiday.

Yuan Yuan, Juli, and Guangxian competed fiercely during the National Day holiday. Sometimes, bystanders are needed to make concluding remarks:

"Actually, I don't think there is any need to make such excuses." After all, it is old money, and I am still resistant to new money like Juli.

"There are many reasons for the failure of a movie. Inadequate publicity and distribution, poor scheduling, or force majeure natural or man-made disasters, all of which may cause a movie to fail."

"But in the final analysis, it is still the problem of the movie itself. In fact, a good movie is easy to say, you watch it, I pay for the ticket, that's it."

"You can't blame Xuanfa for not selling tickets, blame the navy for smearing, blame censorship, blame the theater for not scheduling movies for you. Our audience won't listen to your explanation. If you don't look good, I won't buy tickets."

"When it comes to money bag issues, our audience will always be honest and smarter than you."

"Talking back to the movie "White Snake", the story of White Snake is well-known to every household. There are Zhao Yazhi's White Snake, Wang Zu's "Green Snake", and more recently Liu Tao's "The Legend of White Snake". They have all done very well.

, our audience will definitely see a comparison when they see your White Snake. If you can’t do it, then you can’t do it. Don’t make other excuses.”

"Movies are a fair market and a commercial market. I don't think we should be so naive as to attribute our failure to external reasons."

Huayi has become so big because of its efforts. The slander and abuse that "The Legend of White Snake" suffered are nothing to Wang Zhonglei.

It has been almost 10 years since Cheng Yuan debuted, and he has already won 2 awards in Venice, which is very smooth, right? Do you want to show him the Mainland awards?

His teacher was Hou Kerming, a big shot in the film field, and the judges still scolded his films for being superficial and tasteless, only blindly pleasing the audience and neglecting expression.
