Chapter 639: The Fourth Chinese Film History(1/2)
The endless chirping of cicadas seems to be complaining about the heat of summer.
In the past two days, primary and secondary school students across the country suddenly began to study seriously.
——Yes, summer vacation is coming to an end, and I’m crazily catching up on my homework!
Time passed day by day, and it was already the end of August.
The summer season is coming to an end, and most of the movies released during this period have been taken off the shelves.
With two movies like "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Arms 2", other movies looked extremely dim and had no popularity during the release period. If they can make a small profit at the box office, it is considered a very good result.
The cumulative box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" has reached 5.83 billion, and the cumulative box office of "Arms 2" has also reached 3.97 billion.
Compared with "Arms 1", "Arms 2" has achieved very good results, and the overall box office has basically doubled.
If it weren't for the movie "Wolf Warrior 2", "Arms 2" would definitely be the new ceiling for military-themed movies.
In this summer season, both movies performed very well, and their keys have been postponed and will continue to be released in major theaters.
That day also caused a lot of discussion on the Internet. It is quite rare for movie keys to be extended, but this year's summer movie has two movies popping up at once.
Unlike the slightly loose key extension application on Earth, Blue Star's key extension rules are much stricter.
Everyone can understand that "Wolf Warrior 2" has been postponed. After all, the box office performance is here, and it has already ranked among the top ten box office in Chinese film history.
Everyone is still a little confused about the postponement of the "Key" of "Arms 2".
According to past practice, "Arms 2" is not eligible for extension. Its early popularity and box office were quite good, but it fell off a lot in the later period.
The General Administration of Culture has considered it comprehensively. At present, domestic military-themed movies are still lacking. After the last experience, domestic directors are even more afraid to shoot such themes casually. They use these two movies for promotion. I hope they can resume
Get your confidence back.
And the country also needs this kind of movie that can promote the main theme.
Both movies have been released for more than a month. At this stage, the single-day box office will definitely drop a lot.
The current single-day box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is around 17 million, and the single-day box office of "Arms 2" is around 5 million.
...
The most concerning thing in the film industry right now is still "Wolf Warrior 2".
Although the single-day box office is no longer as strong as before, the more than 5 billion box office results are enough for major media to tirelessly report on it every day.
The cumulative box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" has reached 5.8 billion, and there are faint signs that it will exceed 6 billion.
For ordinary viewers, this kind of box office performance is just for fun, but for the entire film industry, it is a big event.
The highest box office record in the history of Chinese movie box office is the total box office record of 7.2 billion set by "Ruins", and the gap between "Wolf Warrior 2" and it is 1.4 billion.
Many people want to see if "Wolf Warrior 2" can cross the 6 billion mark!
After the General Administration of Culture updates data on its official website, it can cause a big earthquake in the entertainment industry every day.
After all, every time the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" increases a little, one of the top ten box office movies may drop one place.
["Star Magazine": Congratulations to "Wolf Warrior 2" for successfully breaking through 5 billion at the box office! 】
["Southern Entertainment": "Wolf Warrior 2"'s single-day box office is still a good result, and the total box office is expected to exceed 6 billion!]
["Movie News": In the history of China's top ten box office movies, this is the first time a military-themed movie has appeared. The total box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is still increasing. Can it finally break through the 60 mark? Let's look forward to it together. !]
["Penguin News": Shocking! The box office of Tan Yue's first movie "Wolf Warrior 2" has reached 5.8 billion. The key of "Wolf Warrior 2" in major theaters has been postponed, and it will still be released in theaters It will be released for a while, and it seems likely that it will exceed 6 billion!】
["Entertainment News": "Wolf Warrior 2" has a cumulative box office of 5.83 billion, congratulations to Tan Yue, and congratulations to "Wolf Warrior 2".]
["Entertainment Events": Is "Wolf Warrior 2" expected to exceed 6 billion? Is "Arms 2" expected to exceed 4 billion?]
Now "Arms 2" can only appear in the news as a supporting role, and some media don't even mention the movie at all.
"Arms 2"'s cumulative box office and daily box office figures of several million have failed to attract the attention of major media.
...
Guangmei Entertainment Company.
Jiang Bei looked at the exaggerated box office figures that "Wolf Warrior 2" has accumulated so far, and sighed in his heart, "Tan Yue is indeed the most promising guy among the younger generation of directors."
Tan Yue suddenly announced that he wanted to make a movie this time, and it was still a military theme. Jiangbei was not very optimistic about it.
He has been in the directing circle for such a long time and is well aware of the difficulty of making movies.
Jiang Bei feels that there is a high chance that Tan Yue's first film will be a hit on the street. With insufficient experience, insufficient popularity, and a bad reputation, such a film is doomed to have no future.
But after the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", the situation changed. Word-of-mouth immediately exploded, it was well received, the popularity skyrocketed, and the movie box office continued to surge, which surprised him.
There are many examples in the history of movies where word-of-mouth improved and the box office counterattacked after a release, but there is no box office success like "Wolf Warrior 2".
Jiang Bei has a relatively conservative and steady personality. When he was young, he also had the idea of making movies, but he never fully took this step. Especially after becoming famous in the director circle of TV series, he did not dare to get involved in movies too much. .
As I grew older, I made several films that did not receive a good response, and the idea of becoming a film director completely disappeared from my mind.
When Tan Yue was able to achieve great success in TV dramas, he turned around and crossed over to the film industry. Jiang Bei admired Tan Yue's courage very much.
Jiang Bei leaned back on his chair, thinking that "Wolf Warrior 2" is now ranked fourth in the box office record. I wonder what kind of results it will end up with?
The top three box office records in China are:
First: "Ruins" has a total box office of 7.2 billion.
Second place: "Star Journey" has a total box office of 6.511 billion.
Third place: "Crazy World" has a total box office of 5.956 billion.
There is still a big difference in the total box office of the top three, but the main reason is that the top two have higher box office, and the gap between the box office after the third place is not that big.
The fifth-ranked box office was 5.427 billion.
Looking at the ceiling, Jiang Bei said softly, "No matter what the final ranking of "Wolf Warrior 2" is, it has been a success for Tan Yue. The four words "Promise for the Future" are perfect to describe him."
Being able to achieve such results as a film director for the first time, Tan Yue has already established a place in the film director circle.
Tan Yue is still so young and has won numerous awards in TV dramas. The box office of his first movie in the film industry now ranks among the top five in Chinese film history.
There will definitely be great achievements in the future.

As the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeded the 5 billion mark, the discussion about "Wolf Warrior 2" on the Internet became more intense.
"Wolf Warrior 2" has always been very popular on Weibo, and it can be seen on the hot search list every day recently.
Whenever the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeds one of the top ten movies at the box office, they will post congratulations on Weibo. I don't know when it started, but it has gradually become a habit.
Among these congratulations, the one with the highest popularity and likes is "Under the Sea", which was previously ranked tenth.
"Under the Sea" is a science fiction masterpiece that mainly tells stories that take place in the ocean world.
After the movie was released, it was deeply loved by the audience. It was the first domestic movie to have a box office of over 4 billion.
The key to "Under the Sea" was not extended, and it achieved such results in just one month, which shows that it was also a very popular movie at the time.
From then on, domestic films seemed to have controlled the lifeblood of the market, and the box office was getting higher and higher, breaking 5 billion! Breaking 6 billion!
The director of the "Under the Sea" movie said on Weibo:
"Congratulations to "Wolf Warriors 2" for its box office exceeding 5 billion and ranking among the top ten Chinese movies at the box office. The strength of the country is guarded by us Wolf Warriors."
"Ooooooo, Xiaohai is so sad! From now on, you will never see my name in the top ten at the box office. Remember to come and see me more often!"
There is also a hand-drawn picture below. All the characters are cartoon-like, creating a dreamy linkage with "Wolf Warrior 2".
Once posted on Weibo, it quickly attracted attention from netizens.
Some netizens joked that this must be the eleventh time such congratulations have been posted on Weibo.
Several other films posted congratulations. Although they were not as popular as "Under the Sea", they were also on Weibo's hot searches.
...
Seeing that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" has exceeded 5.8 billion, many netizens have speculated whether the final box office can exceed 6 billion.
"I'm so stupid. I didn't expect that I would be able to participate in a 5.8 billion big project in my lifetime. The box office is too strong. No, I have to watch it again."
"The box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" has already reached 5.8 billion, and it is still half a month away from being released. It will not be difficult for the final box office to exceed 6 billion!"
"It's hard to say whether the final box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" can exceed 6 billion. The current single-day box office is only over 10 million. It is estimated that the single-day box office will drop a lot in a few days. If it wants to break 60
The billion mark is really difficult."
"Teacher Tan Yue has brought too many surprises to fans. The first movie will have a box office of 5.8 billion, and it is heading towards 6 billion!"
"As a loyal fan of Teacher Tan Yue, I believe that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" will reach 6 billion. I have always believed in Teacher Tan's ability."
"Rational analysis shows that it is unlikely that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" will reach 6 billion."
Discussions about "Arms 2" on the Internet have disappeared. With a box office of several million every day, the final box office results will not change much.
