"Dear" and "Overheard 3" have been at each other's throats for a week, and today they finally get to see each other.

Both movies premiered at 6 p.m., and since "Overheard 3" is a sequel to a series, it did have an advantage on the first day, with 20.1 million.

"Dear" was slightly behind, with only 17.4 million.

Both numbers are not good-looking, and both sides suffered losses on the first day.

By region, "Overheard 3" is more popular than "Dear" in the Guangdong market.

Although Guangdong Province is the home base, Jiahe Cinema's film schedule for "Overheard 3" is still higher than that of "Dear".

This is the result of Golden Harvest already skewing the arrangement of its own films.

But the reputation of "Dear" is much better than that of "Overheard 3".

"Using commercial film techniques to unfold a news event, my favorite subject, it is not easy to hit all the minefields under the perverted censorship system. The story is well told, the actors are well acted, the main line is clear, and the logic is reasonable.

Full of emotions and clear themes, this is really rare for domestic films! The accusation of reality is applauding, and the torture of people's hearts is heartbreaking."

"There is no exaggerated love, two perspectives, and the story is told in a down-to-earth manner. The social topic of child trafficking and the entanglement between love and law always make people feel sad. The acting skills of Huang Bo and Jiang Wenli are amazing. It is a masterpiece of the Chinese language this year."

"Jiang Wenli's performance reminded me of the scene where she sold beans in "Farewell My Concubine". She also lost her son, but Jiang Wenli showed two completely different ways of acting. Li Hongqin should be able to win another Best Actress Award for Jiang Wenli

Trophy.”

In contrast, although "Overheard 3" temporarily won the box office, the audience is often very harsh on the series and shows no mercy:

"The self-destructive director went crazy in the last half hour and turned the originally good eavesdropping scene into a film about the coming of death."

"I give all five stars to Azu, he is so handsome. Forget about the rest."

"I want to give it three stars. But the ending is really terrible. And it has really gone astray from the route of 1 and 2. Remember you are Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang, not Johnnie To."

"The story is not good, the tone is very ugly, the plot is too slow, and the pace is not good. In fact, there is no need to make it 130 minutes."

In fact, the film also received a lot of positive reviews, but the positive reviews were more focused on Wu Azu's handsomeness and Zhou Gongzi's acting skills. Netizens were not very satisfied with the other actors and the plot of the movie.

But it also needs to be divided into platforms.

Netizens on Douban praised "Dear" as the best of the year, but had nothing good to say about "Overheard 3".

However, on major ticketing platforms, the reviews of "Overheard 3" are pretty good.

However, even if the domestic realism-themed films are mediocre and only passable, the audience's tolerance is very high.

Not to mention that the quality of "Dear" is above the standard. Considering this, it is not surprising that "Dear" has been widely praised by the media and audiences.

The release of "Dear" successfully aroused social attention on the topic of anti-trafficking.

There is such a rumor that there is a chain of contempt in prisons. Murder, arson, rape and robbery are not looked down upon by other inmates, but there are two types of criminals who are looked down upon in prison.

One is a traitor, including but not limited to the one who killed his eldest brother and slept with his eldest sister-in-law.

The other is human traffickers, especially those who abduct children. People on the street think that those who do such things deserve to die.

Yuan Yuan did not over-market on "Dear" because the company also knows that marketing as a subject can go astray if not careful, so it has been very careful but very positive in its guidance.

In the first four days of the weekend, "Overheard 3" and "Dear" both exceeded 100 million, the former 120 million and the latter 107 million.

Obviously, "Dear" is catching up with "Overheard 3" by relying on word-of-mouth and social topics.

Cheng Yuan announced a "violation of industry regulations" on May Day:

"I'm glad that "Dear" can be welcomed by the audience, but making a movie with this theme is very heavy and not easy. Although the company invests a large amount of money in charity every year, I spent last night with Yifei

After watching the movie, she cried and said that what we had done was not enough. So we decided to donate as much as the box office of "Dear" reached 300 million, then donate 300 million, and if it exceeded 400 million, we would donate 400 million.

The money was donated by Yifei and I, and it will not affect the income of the film's investors. We will use the money to set up a foundation, hoping to help the cause of anti-trafficking. All accounts of the fund will be published on the official website every quarter. Accept

Supervision by the whole society. In addition, this fund does not accept donations from any individuals or organizations."

Why should I add the last sentence? It is not to stop the hands of some caring people.

The reason why Cheng Yu'an's move is said to be "violating the rules" is because he is a bit saintly in doing so.

You have donated, will the major investors of "Dear" donate?

It’s not easy for everyone to make money, but it’s not that easy to ask people to pay for their real or fake silver.

But Cheng Yuan did take a good start.

Major investors such as Yuan Yuan and China Film have announced that they will donate part of their funds to support the anti-trafficking cause.

Cheng Yu'an's move has contributed to the cause of social anti-trafficking. The box office of "Dear" also successfully surpassed "Overheard 3" on the last day of the holiday, with a revenue of 57.7 million that day, and the total box office exceeded 160 million.

Yu Dong was stupid. He never expected that Cheng Yu'an would do this.

Occupy the moral high ground and kill people to death!

What is the maximum box office revenue a movie with a theme like "Dear" can make?

Four hundred million or five hundred million?

Can’t a top 10 rich man like Cheng Yu’an get it?

But even if Cheng Yu'an promotes "Dear" like this, he can't avoid the movie's decline after the holidays.

In the four working days after the holiday, "Dear"'s daily growth dropped below 20 million.

Especially on the 6th, the Hollywood blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow" was released in China and the United States at the same time, and the film made over 40 million at the box office on its first day.

It even caused the new additions of "Dear" and "Overheard 3" to fall below 10 million.

There is a reason why this film was specially chosen to be released simultaneously in China and the United States on the 6th, which is the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings.

And the first scene of the film is a beach landing battle.

It can be said to be well-intentioned.

On the same day, Xiao Ming also starred in a sports movie about kayaking called "Mountain Dew", which earned 520,000 yuan on the first day without any splashes.

The media didn't even have a place to publish the press release.

It is said that Xiao Ming has already filmed three movies in a row, last year's "A Romantic Affair" and "Magic", and now "Filthy Youth".

This year he also has three movies to be broadcast, "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven", "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life" and "Peace Wheel (Part 1)".

He has high hopes for the two films before and after him. One is a masterpiece adapted from a classic martial arts novel. It is his first collaboration with Fan Xiaopang, and it is difficult to make a leap for it. The other is a masterpiece by Wu Baige, which is sure to be a hit.
