The champion of the domestic film box office has been controlled by it for a full decade since "Titanic" won the box office of 360 million in 98.
In the past ten years, several major domestic directors have taken turns to challenge it, but they have all returned for various reasons.
It wasn't until ten years later that China Film's "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" relied on various distribution methods and finally surpassed it with a box office score of 410 million.
However, no one was happy about this achievement.
Because the Hollywood masterpiece "Transformers 2" two months ago just won 450 million, and then "2012", which was released two months later, got another 460 million box office.
This is not over, the following year, "Avatar" entered the king as a king, not only won an invincible box office of 2.788 billion US dollars worldwide, but also a box office performance of 1.328 billion in China.
And the domestic film "Tangshan Earthquake", which had the highest box office that year, was only in the early 600 million.
It's the same as it was ten years ago!
Ten years later, the mainland film market has grown explosively.
"Thai Embarrassment" and "Journey to the West" have exceeded one billion one after another, although they are still a few points behind, but they have already seen the hope of catching up.
However, the 1.98 billion "Transformers 4" and the 2.42 billion "Furious 7" brought the war back to its original situation.
However, as the so-called "thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, don't bully the ......", cough, anyway, there will always be a "protagonist" who will come out to break the deadlock.
The first one to appear was "The Mermaid", relying on the textbook slogan "We all owe a ticket", the movie successfully won a miraculous 3.3 billion box office.
After 18 years, Chinese films have finally won the championship in their own market.
But what makes a miracle a miracle is its scarcity.
Under "Mermaid", there are still a number of domestic movies that are pressed under "Zootopia", "Warcraft" and "American Team 3".
And the new year has just begun, and a "Furious 8" is back with a box office of 2.6 billion.
At the same time, even if there are several Chinese-language movies released during the most popular Spring Festival, the highest box office is only "Kung Fu Yoga", which relies on the blessing of the eldest brother Cheng Oscar, with 1.75 billion, and it is ugly!
That's the problem, Hollywood often has it, but "owing tickets" and Oscars are not often!
At least from the first half of 17 years, the Chinese film market is bleak, and bad movies are out.
What "Havoc in Tianzhu", "Happy Comedian", "Trouble Family", "Eat and Eat" Love......
To be reasonable, many viewers are now looking forward to much more when they watch the inventory of bad movies every year than when they watch the inventory of good movies.
After all, the "goodness" of a good movie, each one is nothing more than those few points; But the "rotten" of bad movies can always bring forth the new, repeatedly hit new highs, impassioned, and urge people to pee!
Until the end of July, everyone was also a little dead, thinking that this year's domestic film market might be like this.
After all, the Spring Festival stalls that can pull the market the most are not splashy, and then we can only wait for the New Year stalls at the end of the year.
It was also at this time that two military-themed movies were released on the occasion of the "90th anniversary of Army Day".
The first is China Film's "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army", and the previous "Founding of the People's Republic" and "Founding of the Party" belong to the "Founding Trilogy" series; The second part is the second part of the "Wolf Warrior Series" directed and acted by Wu Jing, "Wolf Warrior 2".
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army" is, after all, the son of China Film, and with Bona's escort, he got 34% of the film schedule in advance; In contrast, "Wolf Warrior 2", directed by Shuimu Film and Television, a "new upstart in the circle", and Wu Jing, a newcomer, will be dwarfed, with only 14% of the film scheduling rate in advance.
Based on the impression of the first two films, the audience's enthusiasm for "The Great Cause of the Army" is not as strong as its film schedule, and the pre-sale is only 30 million box office results.
In addition, this one is different from the previous two, and a large number of "little fresh meat" starring roles are used, everyone's expectations have become significantly lower, and it is generally believed that it may not reach the results of the previous work.
As for "Wolf Warrior 2", a military action movie with a previous work of only more than 600 million, there are no stars, and Wu Jing has no appeal, it is very good to get about one billion with the dividends of market expansion, there is nothing worth saying.
"Looking at history from the back to the front, every key node is clearly visible; However, for those at the time, it was just another ordinary day.
(That's what I said) Just when various film and television companies are promoting new movies, fans are tearing up daily, and passers-by and audiences are boringly searching for what good movies to look at next month, one after another shocking news has smashed the entire film and television industry.
"Break 100 million in 4 hours, break 1 billion in 83 hours, break 2 billion in 8 days, break 3 billion in 11 days......"
As of the 15th day after the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", that is, half a month, the total box office has exceeded the 4 billion mark, equivalent to 600 million US dollars.
Prior to this, there were only five films that could earn $600 million in a single film in the global single market, namely "Star Wars", "Avatar", "Titanic", "Jurassic World" and "The Avengers", all of which were produced by Hollywood.
The audience is going crazy, if they don't pay attention, how can such a "monster" come out.
In fact, as early as when the movie exceeded 3 billion, the relevant discussions on the Internet were already in an uproar.
"Jingbuki", "Little Pink", "Wumao", "Cent", "Muyang Dog", "Rational Party", ......
The dissent, accusations, hostility, and abuse between audiences of various identities and ideologies escalated rapidly, and with the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" rising all the way, it began to spread outward, and finally evolved from a debate about the movie to a social "patriotic" discussion.
"As for these people, isn't it just a movie, and it needs to be discussed so intensely?"
Miss Wan Qian, who hadn't appeared for a long time, looked at the various arguments on Weibo and shook her head to say that she couldn't understand it.
"It's normal."
Mu Ming was looking at the shooting plan in her hand, and when she heard the emotion of the young lady on the side, she didn't look up, and said loudly: "From the perspective of the film itself, even if the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" is in place, it is nothing more than about 2 billion, and it is impossible to have the current results. ” "The reason why the current situation has occurred is because when this film breaks through the box office results it deserves and sparks national discussion, it no longer represents the film itself, but a war, or rather, a counterattack."
"Fight back?

Whose counterattack" Wan Qian moved towards Mu Ming's side and asked thoughtfully.
"Naturally, with the growth of national strength for more than ten years, the majority of the people who have gradually cultivated the self-confidence of the country but remain silent, and the counterattack against a group of public intellectuals, Huang Zuo, and Muyang dogs who control the ideological position and discourse channels to criticize their own country but seize interests in turn!"
Mu Ming raised his head, his eyes flashing in the sunlight, smiled, and continued: "The development of the Internet has broadened the public's horizons, allowing people's thinking to be able to gallop the world from being confined to one place.
However, it also brings a new limitation, that is, many people think that the thoughts and spirits in the online world are the whole thoughts and spirits of the world. ” However, in fact, even in China, counting the older generation who can only watch TV dramas, play landlords, and play mahjong online, the total number of Internet users is only 700 million, and half of them have never been exposed to the Internet.
If the statistics are extended to the whole world, the proportion of offline users will undoubtedly be higher. ” "In other words, most people in this world, you can't see on the web."
"So-called, silent majority?"
Miss Wan Qian whispered.
Mu Ming grinned, which could be regarded as agreeing with her statement.
Then, there was a high-spirited tone: "Every movie ticket of the audience is actually a vote, a vote to express what they want to see."
Those who watched it with their relatives and friends, what they supported was not the movie, but the words, spirit and thoughts that were spoken for them behind the movie. ” Wan Qian was infected by Mu Ming's words, and couldn't help but nod seriously.
Indeed, many times I support a work, not only because the work is excellent, but also because of a recognition that is consistent with my own views.
Wan Qian couldn't help but glance at Mu Ming, from now she realized that this young man always seemed to be able to bring her some ideas that were different from others.
However, immediately after, Mu Ming dragged her out of the true emotion just now.
Of course, there can be such a big public opinion effect because the company is behind the trouble.
After all, there is no controversy, there is no heat, there is no heat, there is no attention, and there is no attention to where so many box offices come from, hahahaha......"
Looking at Mu Ming's smug face, the young lady gave him a blank look.
That's right, I forgot that this kid is a small capitalist with a net worth of billions, and he has to find a way to save three points for him to benefit from it.
This time "Wolf Warrior 2" was a great success, and it seems that the biggest beneficiary is Wu Jing, but in fact, Mizuki Film and Television, as the producer, is the real behind-the-scenes beneficiary.
Looking at Jingxi Culture, just by participating in the investment, the stock price has risen by more than 20%, and the market value has increased by more than 2 billion.
Mizuki hasn't been listed yet, but once it does go public in the future, it's hard to imagine what kind of giant it will grow into with the foundation accumulated now. sighed for two seconds, and Wan Qian let go of the matter.
I finally finished filming a section, and I had to take a break for a while.
The two are now on the filming set of the "God of Medicine".
After nearly a year of script polishing and preliminary preparations, the "debut" film of "newcomer" director Mu Ming has finally started.
Because I haven't thought of a name yet, I'll call it "God of Medicine" straightforwardly.
Most of the main characters in the movie are still found from acquaintances according to Mu Ming's usual habits.
Xu Zheng, as the starring role, plays Cheng Yong, who embarked on the road of selling medicine because of his interests, but finally gave up his interests and became the real "God of Medicine".
And Miss Wan Qian, who was pulled by Mu Ming to play a single mother whose daughter was suffering from leukemia and could only rely on striptease dancing and selling herself in nightclubs to treat her daughter's illness.
Several other characters, Cheng Yong's brother-in-law, a policeman Cao Bin who hovered on the edge of love and law, gave Wang Kai; Peng Hao, who is full of yellow hair, infected with a vicious disease, has little culture but is full of righteousness, gave Xu Zheng an introduction to a young actor Zhang Yu; As for Lu Yingying, who introduced Cheng Yong to the channel of selling medicine and used his death to awaken Cheng Yong's heart of "God of Medicine", Mu Ming gave this role to his own Yin Zheng.
The "Tidal Sea Spirit" in this life did not participate in the "Charlotte Troubles", and it will not bring its own BGM of "One Cut Plum", so it will not let the audience play when it appears in the movie.
The filming of "God of Medicine" has two parts, most of the plot is in China, and a small part of the plot is in India.
Because the plot of the foreign part only needs Xu Zheng alone, the filming is the first to be completed, and the filming of the domestic part will continue after the end.
"That's right."
Wan Qian looked at her mobile phone for a while, feeling that it was not interesting, and seeing that Mu Ming was also idle, she chatted casually: "I heard that you and Xiaoying have quarreled recently?"
” "What kind of quarrel, it's just a little awkwardness."
Mu Ming waved her hand and "refuted the rumors": "It's just a little bit about work, and there are some different opinions." ” It's really not much about it.
Mizuki recently planned a new movie called "Flash Girl", which is a youth campus comedy featuring "folk music".
The male protagonist is easier to choose, and the company is suitable for Bai Jingting, but there is a little disagreement on the female protagonist's side.
One of the few girls under Shuimu, Wang Ou is definitely not suitable because of her age; Zhang Tianai's previous dramas were unsatisfactory, and the company is considering letting her take the fashion route; The rest are just Feng Jiu and Chen Yao.
Because he joined the company relatively early and cooperated several times, Feng Jiu and Xiao Zhao have a good relationship.
In addition, Xiao Zhao began to reduce filming in the past two years, and slowly transformed behind the scenes, and was responsible for the artist management of Shuimu, so Feng Jiu has always been recognized as Xiao Zhao's faction.
On the other hand, Chen Yao was personally signed into the company by Mu Ming, and the next few plays were also arranged by Mu Ming, so everyone subconsciously regarded her as Mu Ming's faction.
A company, in general, will only choose one main actress.
Xiao Zhao is naturally recognized as the first sister of Mizuki, and all the top resources are tilted towards her.
But now that she is completely self-sufficient in terms of popularity and status in the circle and resources, Mizuki is naturally going to start preparing for the "second generation".
It stands to reason that she naturally chose Feng Jiu, after all, whether it is popularity or popularity, she is better, and even Chen Yao, who is a competitor, admits this, and there is no doubt.

Moreover, the two are bright and smart in terms of image, and there is no overlap, so there has been no big dispute.
And then there was the "Flash Girl" incident this time.
The original heroine was Feng Jiu, but after reading the script, Mu Ming felt that her appearance was a little unsuitable for the character.
In addition, I haven't cared much about it since I signed the contract with Yao Mei, so I gave the heroine to Chen Yao and changed Feng Jiu to another drama.
My role was robbed, although I knew that it was because the role was not suitable, and there was compensation, but I was a little unhappy after all.
So when chatting with Xiao Zhao, Feng Jiu casually complained a few words.
Xiao Zhao also knew that Feng Jiu didn't have any grievances, but he still said a few words about Mu Ming.
Mu Ming had the preparation of the "God of Medicine" in her hands at that time, thinking about the project of "The Wandering Earth", and she had to be busy with the follow-up promotion of "Wolf Warrior 2", she was so busy that she was in no mood, and she was possessed by a straight man of steel, and then she ......
"So you boys, eh......"
After listening to Mu Ming's simple expression, Wan Qian shook her head at Mu Ming with a funny look.
However, her relationship with Xiao Zhao was relatively average, so she just joked about it and didn't say anything more.
"Director, what are your plans for filming in the next few days?"
A field reporter walked up to Mu Ming and asked in a low voice.
Mu Ming glanced at the schedule in her hand again, and said in a deep voice: "Tell who, revise the schedule, starting on the afternoon of the 30th, the crew will have a day and a half off." ” "Huh?
Holiday?
Oh okay, I see, I'll let you know.
The little brother was stunned for a moment, why did he take a vacation for no reason.
However, what the director says is what it is, so he has no doubts and says that he will notify the crew.
"Why did you suddenly think of going on vacation?"
Miss Wan Qian, who heard Mu Ming's conversation on the side, asked curiously.
Normally, it is rare for a director to suddenly take a vacation in the middle of filming.
In particular, the two days at the end of October don't seem to be a holiday.
"If you want to let it go, I'm not happy to give you a holiday."
Mu Ming said casually.
Looking at the crew who got the holiday notice and were obviously cheerful, Mu Ming's chin signaled a "look", smiled silently, and got up to find the filming crew.
Wan Qian was puzzled in her seat for a while, then took out her mobile phone and checked it again, confirming that October 30th and 31st were really not special holidays or anniversaries.
After thinking about it, his mind moved, and he swiped his phone again, and then showed a smile full of "I guessed it".
On the mobile phone screen is Mu Ming's encyclopedia information, which reads in the first line of his personal introduction - Mu Ming, born on October 30, 1992 in Haiwei, Dongshan Province, Chinese mainland a famous director and producer......
