Chapter 468 468.Hot Screening
The reputation of "20 Again" actually began to brew after the midnight show.
Behind the 6.7 million box office, there is a large number of viewers, especially since the ticket seller of this movie only costs 35 yuan. Compared with those "blockbuster movies", the number of viewers is actually more.
Audiences who can watch movies at midnight are generally night owls. They will not go to bed immediately after returning home. Many people choose to go online to find those who have just watched the movie like themselves.
When everyone entered the blog and film review website, they found that there were indeed many like-minded friends discussing the plot of the movie.
"This movie made me cry and laugh in the theater, it was so embarrassing."
"Lin Yifei's acting was really scary this time. It was the first time I saw a goddess cry so realistically, her nose was running, she didn't care about her image at all."
"Brother Hu is so handsome, especially when he smiled shyly, my heart was trembling."
"I think Huang Xiaoming is handsome, a domineering director, and very humorous. The talent show segment really made me laugh so hard that my stomach hurt."
"In fact, I think Nie Wei is the most handsome in the whole movie. Don't be so cool when he appears at the end. I'm sitting in the first row. If my boyfriend wasn't next to me, I would have rushed up to lick the big screen."
"The upstairs, I've already rushed up, but unfortunately I was stopped by the security guard."
The atmosphere in the discussion area is particularly good, which is also caused by the style of the movie. In the whole movie, except for the scene in the second half of the movie where Meng Lijun insisted on singing on the stage to fulfill her grandson's dream in the hospital, the rest are pieced together with some small warm shots.
So overall, this film is humorous and warm. There is no obvious villain in the film. Even the old lady who competes with Meng Lijun for Li Dahai makes the audience feel very cute every time she is jealous. Therefore, the audience is very comfortable from beginning to end, and naturally there is no anger when discussing.
This is also a point that makes film critics admire Nie Wei very much.
In recent years, mainland movies are all about fierce conflicts, constantly piling up some big scenes to stimulate the audience. These tricks are naturally learned from Hollywood, especially those blockbusters, which wish that every frame can make the audience excited.
But Nie Wei went the other way and took a warm and humorous route. The first "Speeding Scandal" had some conflict scenes, but this "Back to 20" became even milder.
The conflicts in the whole film are nothing more than the family conflicts in the opening, but Nie Wei's handling is low-key and profound. There is no huge quarrel, but a silent way to express the sadness of the old man.
When the audience watched a mother who was proud of her son, and listened in the corner that her proudest son wanted to send her to a nursing home, and the whole family except the little grandson agreed, and their words were full of disgust, when the old man left with a lonely back, all the audience at the scene could feel the emotions that Nie Wei wanted to express in this clip without any words.
What a control this is! If Nie Wei was not too young, these film critics would want to give Nie Wei the title of "Master of Tenderness".
After all, silent expression is more contagious than violent conflict. This plot and the use of the lens undoubtedly represent the profound skills of the screenwriter and director.
It just so happens that Nie Wei has two positions in this film, which makes the circle more optimistic about Nie Wei. After all, a director who can write and direct by himself is popular wherever he goes, not to mention that Nie Wei is also a director with great box office appeal.
"Although this sentence has been said countless times, I have to use the phrase 'limitless future achievements' to describe Nie Wei now." A professor from a film academy commented.
"He is an all-rounder in the entertainment industry, a talent that only appears once in a century, and what is even more rare is his moral character. He is well-known in the industry, and his both moral integrity and talent are enough to become a role model for many peers to learn from." A heavyweight senior actor praised Nie Wei in an interview.
"The artist I most want to cooperate with is Nie Wei. No matter what kind of profession he is, actor, singer, screenwriter or director, as long as he chooses any cooperation method, we will do our best to cooperate." This is the words of a manager of an entertainment company, and it also represents the attitude of many entertainment companies in the industry. Nie Wei is indeed ranked first in their partner list.
And in some artist evaluation companies, Nie Wei is also the only five-star existence among his peers at this moment.
Whether it is the current achievements or the development potential, Nie Wei has long surpassed many artists of the same generation. There are even very few senior artists who can be compared with Nie Wei. In the eyes of these evaluation companies, Nie Wei is already among the top male stars in China, except that he still has a few representative works.
The most important thing is that Nie Wei also has the advantage of age. According to Nie Wei's current trend, he will definitely have a place among the top Chinese male stars. As for whether he can break out of Asia, it all depends on luck. After all, in the past few decades, there are only a few Chinese movie stars who can achieve success in the world, and they can't even be counted on one hand, but everyone's expectations for Nie Wei are still very high.
Not to mention Nie Wei, Lin Yifei, Hu Ge and Huang Xiaoming have also risen in the eyes of the artist evaluation companies with this movie.
Hu Ge originally had only two stars because he had too few works and his roles were not important enough. In addition, the entertainment company behind him had limited energy, so he was considered an artist with potential but an uncertain future.
However, after this movie, Hu Ge undoubtedly opened up the road to the film industry. His first step was very solid, which made the evaluation company raise the star's rating.
And the adjustment was a full star. Now Hu Ge has a three-star rating in the evaluation company. He is a newcomer with great development potential and has great hope of breaking into the ranks of first-line stars.
As for Huang Xiaoming, he originally had three stars, but this time he was raised by half a star and is now a three-and-a-half-star artist.
In the eyes of the evaluation company, Huang Xiaoming's movie has attracted a lot of popularity. Although the role is not representative, with popularity as a basis, plus his many years of accumulated works, Huang Xiaoming has been infinitely close to the ranks of first-line stars. What he lacks now is a representative role and masterpiece, but the company behind him is Huayi. In the eyes of the evaluation company, this is a matter of time.
As the heroine, Lin Yifei gained the most this time.
Originally, Lin Yifei's rating in the evaluation company was already four stars, which means that Lin Yifei already has a first-line status. After this "Back to 20", the evaluation company raised Lin Yifei's rating by half a star.
Don't underestimate Lin Yifei's half star. The closer to the full five-star rating given by the evaluation company, the more stringent the conditions. Although Hu Ge directly raised one star this time, if he wants to reach three and a half stars, he needs at least five or more qualified works to accumulate, or encounter an important role in the annual popular work like "Back to 20".
It is even more difficult for Huang Xiaoming to rise to four stars. Without a reasonable representative role, it is difficult for him to cross this half star.
The reason why Lin Yifei was directly raised by half a star this time is also because of her active performance and great progress in the past year.
According to the evaluation company, the most active female star this year is Lin Yifei. From the beginning of the year's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to the later "The Return of the Condor Heroes", these two TV series ranked fifth and second in the annual ratings, and the now popular "20 Again" is even more powerful. The key is that Lin Yifei's works are not only high-quality, but also her acting skills have improved significantly, especially her recent performance in the movie, which refreshed many viewers' impressions of Lin Yifei.
In the words of Lin Yifei's fans, after watching the movie, whoever says that my idol is a vase, I will give him a movie ticket to see if he feels guilty after watching it.
To be able to say this, it can be seen how much confidence Lin Yifei's acting skills in this film have given to fans. In fact, her performance is indeed excellent. In the film, her acting skills are natural and vivid, and the small details are well grasped. The final emotional outburst sublimates the emotions of the entire film.
This actress, who has been accompanied by the name of "vase" since her debut, has finally completely vindicated her acting skills with "20 Again".
Soon, under the heated discussion of the audience who watched the movie online, the first day box office of this movie was also released.
The box office data of 37.6 million blinded the eyes of countless people in the circle, but looking at the attendance rate provided by the theater, the average data of more than 80% is really convincing.
In the words of the cinema, it was really full, and even some scalpers appeared at the door of the theater. Among these scalpers, the most popular movie tickets were naturally "20 Again".
The audience seemed to have turned the resentment accumulated from "A Chinese Odyssey" into motivation and invested in the movie "20 Again". The box office on the second day remained above 30 million, and it did not fall until the third day. The box office data still reached 22 million.
Of course, the box office data is so good, thanks to the help of the theater. After three days, the screening rate of "20 Again" has not decreased but increased. So far, it has reached 39%. With such a huge screening rate, it is reasonable to have excellent box office results.
It's just that several movies released during the same period suffered a lot. They were almost suppressed to the limit by "20 Again", especially "A Chinese Odyssey", which originally had a screening rate of nearly 30%. Three days after "20 Again" was released, it was suppressed to less than 5%.
The single-day box office of this movie can't even reach one million with such a low screening rate. If it weren't for the minimum guarantee in the contract, many theaters would have directly removed this movie from the shelves. After all, taking advantage of the popularity of "20 Again", as long as it is scheduled, there is no need to worry about tickets not being sold.
Because it was released on Friday, there were only three days in the week, but according to the box office data, "20 Again" still became the box office champion of the week with a huge advantage.
All the major entertainment companies in the circle are not only sighing, Huayi has really produced another "monster" who can make money, but of course there are also people who are malicious about it. How will Huayi arrange the Lunar New Year period next year? After all, Feng Xiaogang will also return with his new film at that time. Will Nie Wei, the new big director, snatch the Lunar New Year period of Feng Xiaogang or give in? I believe that it will give Wang Zhonglei of Huayi a headache for a while.
But to put it bluntly, these are also happy troubles. Most of the gossips by others are just because they can't eat grapes and have to say that the grapes are sour.
Although the film was a good success, Lin Yifei was not happy. The source of her unhappiness was naturally the fact that Nie Wei left her and "eloped" with Shu Chang that day.
What made her most angry was that she waited for three days, but Nie Wei didn't even call her, as if he had forgotten her. This made the girl feel very uncomfortable, especially when she thought about Nie Wei and Shu Chang living a sweet life together. She felt even more uncomfortable. Even with a lot of scripts, advertisements, and endorsements in front of her, she didn't feel happy.
After enduring for three days, Lin Yifei finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to call Nie Wei.
When she answered the phone, Nie Wei was tutoring Zhou Duoduo in the courtyard to do her winter vacation homework, but the little girl obviously didn't want to use her brain, so most of the winter vacation homework was completed by Nie Wei.
Nie Wei didn't care about the little girl's laziness. In his opinion, winter vacation homework is a drag on education. Teachers always assign a lot of homework, but few teachers will really correct it seriously. Besides, winter vacation is for fun, so it's unnecessary to take up so many courses to occupy the children's vacation time.
Zhou Duoduo's grades are pretty good. Although she can't be in the top ten in the grade, she can still maintain an above-average level. So Nie Wei still supports her being lazy in winter vacation homework.
When Lin Yifei called, Nie Wei was helping Zhou Duoduo solve a math problem. Just halfway through the calculation, the phone rang. Nie Wei handed the pen to Zhou Duoduo, then walked aside and answered the phone.
"Nie Wei, what are you doing?" Lin Yifei asked as indifferently as possible.
"I'm helping my sister with her winter vacation homework. Is there anything?" Nie Wei replied. The same indifferent tone made Lin Yifei pout involuntarily, but unfortunately Nie Wei couldn't see the dissatisfied expression at all.
"It's okay. I just want to tell you good news. The movie box office has exceeded 100 million." Lin Yifei replied with a resentful tone, not like telling a good news at all.
But Nie Wei on the other end of the phone seemed not to hear the tone of the little girl, and smiled and replied: "This matter, Brother Zhonglei has called me just now to tell me, and I haven't congratulated you yet. A billion-dollar box office actress, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"
"You... Humph, wait!" Lin Yifei said and hung up the phone angrily.
Looking at the phone, Nie Wei sighed helplessly. How could he not hear Lin Yifei's tone, but now that he and Shu Chang have completely confirmed their relationship, Nie Wei feels that it is still necessary to start to distance himself from another relationship. Perhaps it is time to find a suitable day to show his cards.
