The first-day box office of "Crying" was finally set at 40 million. With only about 3% of the film schedule, this is already an extremely good quality. Although some insiders analyze that this may be due to the previous film festival.
The good reputation of the release and the advantage of the midnight show resulted in extremely high attendance on the first day, but the development trend in the following days still slapped many people in the face.
On the second day after its release, "The Crying" had 5% of the movie reservations in theaters across the country, and the box office was close to 60 million.
On the third day, the theater chain under Jiangcheng Industrial first added the film schedule of "Crying", canceled some locked shows and changed them to "Crying", and also gave these canceled shows to the audience to watch "Crying" for free.
Regarding movie tickets, on this day, the number of films scheduled for "Crying" exceeded 7%, and the box office exceeded 80 million. It is only a matter of time before it exceeds 100 million.
On the fourth day, as the large-scale lock-in was canceled by theaters, the film schedule of "Crying" quickly increased to 18%. The box office on that day exceeded 170 million, and it soon became the number one at the end of the year.
.
In various communities, "Crying" is also spreading virally.
"The movie "The Cry" really made me feel the fear of the hospital immersed in it. Oh my God, I didn't think hospitals were scary before, but now I'm so scared that I don't dare to go to the hospital."
"We are so lacking in a real horror movie. As a specialized type of film, horror thrillers have always been a part of the film industry. How many blockbuster directors have a background in making B-level movies and horror films, but ours
The industry has been developing romance films and urban light comedies with low cost and low special effects requirements, but has ignored these fantasy contents. I believe that "The Cry" is not only the cry of a newborn in the movie, but also the beginning of changes in the film market."
"It is indeed the first horror movie for young people. When I was in the cinema, I saw that the young people looked like they had never seen the world. They didn't know how scary those zombie horror movies we watched when we were children were."
"It made me laugh so hard that I told you that there was a naughty kid in our scene. When he first entered the cinema, he was still clamoring for something to buy, and even beat his own parents. He was still arguing at the beginning of the movie, which annoyed me to death. Then, after watching
Halfway through, I heard there was no sound over there. When the show was over, I took a special look. Oh my god, that naughty kid peed his pants and was calling for someone to come over and clean it up. Sure enough, God's way is reincarnation.
Evil people will be punished by evil people."
At the same time, more and more people are paying attention to Lu Jian and the Silence Plan he mentioned.
Although there is no specific data to show, Lu Jian later uploaded "The Nameless City" to major video websites under the account of Project Silence. The number of hits on the entire network exceeded 10 million in one day. And a week later, New Year's Day arrived.
At the beginning of the new year, the number of followers of Lu Jian's Silence Project has reached 7 million.
Breaking through 10 million within three months is almost certain.
On the famous RPG website [Get it], discussions about "The Nameless City" and the Silent Project are also in full swing.
"...The horror of "The Nameless City" mainly lies in questioning human self-perception. The mercenaries and hunters in the film think they are human beings, but in fact they are all bugs. This kind of violation
The sense of harmony is the source of the experience of fear, because when cognition is questioned, everything is false, and even the self is denied. This is a deeper fear..."
"...I don't think this Silence Project is a good idea. Let's put it this way, I think these movies are scary. It's not that they are really scary, but I don't know what will happen when I watch the movie, so
I will be scared, but now that he wants to integrate these films into a world view, then I will definitely know that nothing will happen to the protagonist, and the sense of fear will be reduced, and it will become an assembly line production movie...
.”
"...In fact, it can be seen from these movies that Lu Jian's most powerful thing is his ability to control the picture and his unique plot arrangement. His performance and the matching of other actors are very casual.
The advantage of this is that the shooting cycle is quite short. From "One Hundred Musicians" to "Crying" and then to the latest "The Nameless City", the three movies only took half a year. However, if you want to shoot continuously, then personnel scheduling and project management are not
The small workshop model can be completed, but I don’t know if he can grasp it..."
"...I think the actors' acting skills are much better, except for Lu Jian, especially the hunters this time, their struggle and pain at the end, their blank expressions, and their numb and sluggish appearance at the end
, I think it can be rated as the best performance this year. Without rich experience and talent, it is impossible to show such an effect. In contrast, the acting skills of many actors nowadays can really only be described as crappy.
It’s really a tragedy for the industry that you don’t have the most basic script skills..."
There have been countless discussions, some are optimistic about Lu Jian and the Quiet Plan, and some are bearish. However, due to Lu Jian's performance in the past few times, most people have not said anything to avoid being turned out and slapped in the face later. But the Internet has
memory.
Most people's conclusions ultimately point to one place, and that is how long it will take for Lu Jian to come up with a new work based on this worldview. The quality of this work will directly affect people's confidence in Lu Jian.
Lu Tiao himself had no self-awareness at all.
On New Year's Day, people come and go on the streets. Many Jiangcheng citizens choose to go to the city square in Jiangcheng Old Street to welcome the New Year there.
Lu Tan was wearing a mask and walking among the crowd, looking extremely lonely.
He did not join in the fun, but walked to the other side and came to the door of a movie theater.
This is one of the theaters where "The Crying" premiered nationwide, and it was also the place where Feng Yu told Lu Jian before that he should come over today.
Lu Tan did not send a message to the other party in advance. He was a little skeptical about what Feng Yu mentioned, so Lu Tan decided to try his luck. If he could meet Feng Yu, he would follow her to see what would happen. But if it was not a coincidence,
If you can't meet it, then it's okay.
As soon as he walked into the cinema, he didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky, but he saw Feng Yu standing at the ticket counter, looking up at the movie trailer playing on the electronic screen.
At the end of the year, the weather in Jiangcheng was already very cold, and it seemed like light snow would fall at any time. She wore a hooded horn-button coat, matching overalls and sneakers, just like young people who can be seen everywhere.
Noticing Lu Tan's gaze, Feng Yu shook the movie ticket in his hand and smiled.
