"As for the records of domestic films, I don't think there is anything!" Zhang Yicheng continued, "After all, Chinese films are developing so fast now. I can't see the first film with a box office of over 100 million US dollars.
It’s just a matter of the past two years. This record will soon be refreshed again and again, so I don’t really care!”
Zhang Yicheng said something again that hurt many reporters. Don't you care?
He actually doesn't care much about this record, which undoubtedly makes many reporters feel speechless. You know, how many people across the country are working hard to refresh these kinds of records, and now "Thirty-three Days of Love" is still the record
Holder, not many people should be able to resist this kind of honor. Why doesn’t Zhang Yicheng care at all?
And judging from the current momentum of "Thirty-day Love", it is extremely strong. This record may be maintained for more than five or six years.
But only Zhang Yicheng knows that there is nothing to be proud of in this achievement. In the next few years, Chinese movies can be said to be turbulent. This kind of record seems to be outrageous now, but compared with the following ones, one by one
Compared with Ni Tian's works, they pale into insignificance. It is only a matter of time before they are surpassed.
"Mr. Zhang, what are your expectations for the total box office?" another reporter asked
At this time, people no longer regard Zhang Yicheng as a person who can only talk big words. In fact, everyone feels that this is not a big talk. It is clearly too modest, too modest, and not a big talk at all.
A box office of 100 million is nothing. According to this momentum, 400 to 500 million is very possible.
Zhang Yicheng smiled slightly and said: "In terms of box office, I think there is no problem with reaching 300 million, but it is hard to say whether it can reach 400 million!"
If we compare purely based on box office data, it is very possible to conclude that "The Last Day in Love" will have a box office of more than 800 million yuan.
But of course, experts will not make such random guesses. Although the initial momentum was very good, they were also bewitched by the media. Many people wanted to see why a dark horse movie was so popular, but in fact this situation
Sooner or later, it will gradually cool down, and it cannot continue forever. If the second week can be half of the first week, it will be very good. The third week will only be half of the second week. This goes on and on.
If it keeps decreasing, of course it won’t be able to have such a high box office in the end.
The reporters were a little disappointed. After all, Zhang Yicheng still didn't say anything too shocking. If it were before the movie started to be released, many people might think that Zhang Yicheng was whimsical, even if it was a super blockbuster "Red Cliff", "Kung Fu Panda", "
"Superman" and others are not so sure, and they absolutely dare not say that the final box office will definitely reach 300 million, and "Love Is Not Blind" is just a small-budget movie with an investment of less than 20 million.
Why should it be compared with "Red Cliff"?
But now, all reporters will not think this is a big lie. Instead, they feel that Zhang Yicheng's idea is too conservative, or too cautious. It is not exciting at all and does not have the heroic feeling before the release.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that Zhang Yicheng has always been cautious. As for being arrogant, that's just what the media think. If those media think that Zhang Yicheng is just arrogant, they have no credibility at all.
, Thinking about it now, Zhang Yicheng was not ordinary modest at that time. If you compare what he said at that time to now, he is definitely a model of caution.
Therefore, Zhang Yicheng has not changed. What has really changed is the change made by these reporters because of the box office.
"Mr. Zhang, many people have said that the scripts you wrote are very unique, especially this one, "Thirty-day Love". All the characters are well portrayed. I wonder if you have ever considered whether to make a sequel.
What?" At this time, a reporter asked in a timely manner.
In fact, in China, this situation is too common. Sequel, which is synonymous with one word, is to make money. This is the case for any movie, no matter how much the audience wants to watch it, but unless
If it was planned to be broadcast in several episodes from the beginning, otherwise, it would just be to cheat money.
Moreover, the sequels of many movies are simply sequels, completely lacking the charm and feeling of the first episode. This is different from foreign blockbusters.
Foreign, especially Hollywood blockbusters, often have blockbusters appear in several episodes in a row. That is because they have experience and money, so they will be more accustomed to this model. Before filming, they have
I started to think about the sequel, so there will always be a certain amount of suspense in the first episode. In order to prepare for the sequel, they originally had such a plan, so whether there is a sequel or not, this story will be more interesting.
More coherent
But it's different in China, because many domestic movies have never thought about the sequel. They don't even know whether the movie will make money after it is released, let alone the sequel. If the first movie doesn't make money,
, then they will lose all support, let alone the issue of sequels.
Furthermore, if the results are really good, wouldn't it be better to consider the sequel at that time? This can be seen everywhere in TV series and movies, such as the famous "Palace" and "Palace 2" in later generations.
”, in fact, the story of “Palace” has already been told, and “Palace 2” is completely far-fetched. It is ridiculous to make a sequel forcibly. What is it for? It’s just to make money.
Even if it is considered to be the most successful typical case in this aspect, Hong Kong's "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs" trilogy are the best in this aspect, but they still cannot escape the continuation of the dog-tailed Diaoyu.
Suspicion, because in the first part, a protagonist was killed. If the filming of the second part "Infernal Affairs 2" can be said to be a prequel, and it still makes sense, then the third part is purely to make money.
Well, it can be said that if there was only the first part of "Infernal Affairs", the entire story would have become much more classic, not just what it is now. It can be said that the two sequels that were forced to be added later were completely ruined.
The first classic
Of course, "Thirty-three Days of Love" is different.
