——"The reputation of "The Devil 2" suffered a disaster, and the film scheduling rate of major theaters dropped to less than 20%."

——""Operation Red Sea" has become the biggest dark horse during the Spring Festival! After a week of continuous reverse growth, it counterattacked and won the single-day box office championship! There is only 400 million left between it and the current number one "This Murderer Is Not Good".

For this reason, director Lin Chaoxian confidently stated: The goal is to be the box office champion during the Spring Festival!"

——"Zheng Li, the director of "The Murderer Is Not Good", made a point in an interview, vaguely pointing out that some colleagues are stealing box office, and the target seems to be aimed at "Operation Red Sea", which has seen an astonishing rise in box office in recent days!"

——"Ding Zhi, a top-notch young man, talked about interesting things during the road show and revealed the difficult five-month filming process in Africa."

——"This year's Golden Bear Awards will officially kick off in half a month. Ding Zhi claimed in an interview: It is an honor to compete on the same stage as his predecessors."

...

...

The creative team of "Operation Red Sea" also made great progress in the national road show for several days after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Especially with Ding Zhi's current appeal, any city where he performs on the road can basically add several percentage points to the already soaring box office base.

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, people all over the country began to return to work one after another.

This is also the case in the entertainment industry. First of all, during the Spring Festival, the situation has been very clear. "This Killer is Not Good" is temporarily leading, "Operation Red Sea" is chasing after it, and "The Devil 2" has lost its ability to compete for the top ticket.

However, it still firmly occupied the third place thanks to the high box office in the first three days.

At the same time, the competition for the Spring Festival stalls this year is also not peaceful.

First of all, the directorial connotation of "This Murderer Is Not Good" has stolen the box office of movies released at the same time. Many people are speculating whether it is targeting its competitor "Operation Red Sea".

Not long after, a post by a netizen on a certain blog once again brought the matter of "stealing box office" to the fore, which aroused widespread heated discussion.

But the protagonist of this incident is not "The Murderer", but "Operation Red Sea" and "The Devil 2".

The netizen revealed that when buying tickets from a certain group, he clearly bought tickets for "Operation Red Sea", but when the tickets were issued, the tickets he got were for "The Devil 2".

However, when he took the movie ticket to the staff, he was told that he could watch the movie normally with this ticket.

This time was quickly heated up, and it immediately stirred up waves.

In fact, after the first part of the "The Devil" series won the Spring Festival box office championship and won the title of box office champion in the mainland movie market that year with a box office of 2.4 billion, there were actually similar rumors.

Therefore, "Capturing the Devil" is generally considered to be the "number one" by everyone.

But this time there was "pictures and truth", and the overall public opinion suddenly became "excited".

The producers of "The Devil 2" reacted very quickly. On the same day, the official WeChat account "find out" the truth and issued a statement.

It probably means that it was the fault of the ticket seller of the theater where the netizen was. Because the environment was too noisy at the time, the ticket seller printed the movie ticket incorrectly and failed to deal with it when he discovered it, which led to the incident.

Anyway, Balabala gave a long explanation, saying that the movie studio made a mistake in issuing tickets, and "The Devil 2" will not bear this blame.

The official WeChat account of "Operation Red Sea" also quickly retweeted the response, saying that they would work together to handle it strictly and bring clarity to the film market.

It seems that the "misunderstanding has been resolved".

Of course, this can't be solved by just issuing a statement. The problem has been fermented. In addition to trying their best to clarify the situation, the film studios and theater chains also announced that under the supervision of public opinion, theater chains in various places will strictly control the situation of incorrect films.

Here comes the fun thing. On the second day after the strict investigation was announced, the box office of "This Murderer Is Not Good" and "Operation Red Sea" began to surge. Even "The Murderer" had a single-day box office for the first time, which was slightly reversed from yesterday.

However, the box office of "The Devil 2" is showing a clear downward trend.

Now, no matter whether the "box office stealing" incident of "The Devil 2" is true or not, this incident is basically in the eyes of many netizens, that is, even if they jump into the Yellow River, they will not be able to wash it away, and the reputation has once again seriously declined.

After experiencing the nationwide road show of the creators of "Operation Red Sea" and the fermentation and impact of the "box office stealing" incident, "Operation Red Sea" finally surpassed "The Killer" after 20 days of release and reached the top of the box office during this Spring Festival.

Achievements, the total box office has reached 3.32 billion!

This result is second only to the 4.36 billion box office of "The Eight Hundred", which was 3.62 billion the year before last, and the 4.36 billion box office of "The Final Battle", which was shot by a national teacher and has occupied the top spot in mainland film history for several years.

In other words, "Operation Red Sea", a big dark horse, not only won this year's Spring Festival box office championship, but also won the third place in the total box office in film history after more than half a month of release!

And there is only a gap of 300 million from the runner-up "Eight Hundred".

Moreover, after the news came out that "Operation Red Sea" has obtained the delay key and the release date will be extended to April 15th, it seems that it is only time for "Red Sea" to surpass "The Eight Hundred" to become the runner-up in domestic film history.

Problem.

It is worth mentioning that Ding Zhi, the second and third runner-up in the box office of the film history, happened to star in it, which can be regarded as an interesting "little easter egg".

At the same time, "Operation Red Sea" also set a record in the film market, that is, from 146 million on the first day of the year to 359 million on the tenth day, the box office has achieved reverse growth for ten consecutive days!

But as mentioned before, those who will be called dark horses are those who have the least advantage in all the clear data in the early stage.

Even before "Operation Red Sea" was released, some people predicted that it would be a dark horse, but it would be "dark" to this extent. With an initial low film schedule of 10% and low pre-sale results, it has gone all the way to become a dark horse.

To become the box office champion, or even become the third runner-up in film history, is something that no one inside or outside the industry could have imagined at the beginning.

Just like when there is a hot topic in the Internet literary world, someone will study it, analyze it, and then follow the trend.

There is a similar situation in the film and television circles. The most obvious one is the theme-themed film and television dramas that have gradually become popular in the past two years. To a certain extent, they are the code of wealth.

After analysis by many people, they found that "Operation Red Sea" cannot be imitated to a certain extent, and this time it has little to do with Ding Zhi.

To put it bluntly, the success of "Operation Red Sea" may have something to do with Ding Zhi's popularity in the early stage, and it also has a lot to do with the song "Lonely Warrior" being released in the music industry.

However, some people have suggested that this film will not be any worse even if it has a new cast.

The success of this film was first of all due to the strong official support. In addition to the support and investment during the filming, the official also had strong support for the publicity of this film during the release period.

For example, Zhang Juzuo, who is known as "War Ignorance Bureau Zuo", once vigorously promoted this film on social platforms.

The reason why there is a bureau here comes from the Haijun system, but to a certain extent, it can also be regarded as an official endorsement.

This is something that others want to imitate but cannot achieve.

On the other hand, in the past ten years, the national confidence and pride brought about by our country's increasing strength need an outlet.

And "Operation Red Sea" is full of "cool points" and real enough. It has a good interpretation of the courage, bravery, collectivism and courage of sacrifice of soldiers. Due to various factors, "Operation Red Sea" was created.

An almost miraculous "dark horse counterattack".

Of course, this assumption that "there is no Ding Zhi in this film" does not exist in itself.

Ding Zhi himself is the undisputed leading actor of this film, including the early popularity and publicity, to a large extent, it was all supported by him.

Of course, the success of this film is also of great significance to Ding Zhi.

Before "Operation Red Sea", Ding Zhi had already proven his box office appeal.

Whether he is a small actor or a big actor, "The Hunt", which has a box office of over 700 million, or "The Eraser in My Brain", which set the highest box office record for a domestic romance film on Valentine's Day last year, it is enough to prove that he is a well-deserved box office expert.

.

But the meaning of being in a movie that has earned more than 3 billion and is about to become the runner-up in the total box office in film history is different.

So far, except for "Greed Wolf", which was "forced" by the film crew to star in a 13-minute scene, the three movies in which Ding Zhi has currently played the role add up to the box office, and he is already worthy of his name with a cumulative box office of 6 billion.

A male artist.

Given that there is already a so-called "10 billion club" in the industry, a cumulative box office of 6 billion does not seem to be too outstanding.

But you must know that Ding Zhi achieved this result with only three movies, and it was only less than four years since he became famous in the film and television industry.

This is very scary.

What’s even scarier is that, with the pre-publicity, the Golden Bear Award, the most valuable film award in China, is about to kick off.

Ding Zhi holds the title of "Spring Festival Champion Actor" which has just been released and is still hot. He is also the youngest Best Actor finalist in this year's so-called "Last Golden Bear".

There is a lot of discussion about him on the Internet.

Many netizens feel that the Golden Bear Award is an award with a strong official nature and the judges are all "old diehards". Young people like Ding Zhi, coupled with the "suspect" of being a popular star, have always been the most disliked by the judging panel.

of.

——"I think too much. Nine times out of ten, the best actors in this year will still be the same old best actors.

But that’s not to say that their acting skills are not good, but after decades of watching them, I’m really tired of watching them.”

——"What's wrong? When it comes to acting skills, I admit that Ding Zhi is pretty good among young people, but I'm afraid he himself wouldn't dare to pat his chest and say that he is better than other competitors!

For example, Mr. Xiang and Best Actor Guo, these people have better qualifications than Ding Zhi, so no matter how good he is in "Manhunt", he still has to make up the numbers and accompany him."

——"Indeed, I am also a fan of Ding Zhi. Our brother's being nominated for this nomination actually shows his strength! He is the youngest nominee in the history of the Golden Bear Award!"

Another group of people feel that since the Golden Bear Awards are going to be reformed, they naturally hope that they will no longer stick to the previous phenomenon of "sharing the cake" and "old people" occupying all the awards, and should show a new

Change.

——“What’s not possible?

When Ding Zhi competed with Yulan as the Emperor, didn't everyone think he was running alongside him?

But what was the final result? Didn’t Ding Zhi win the title under the guidance of many veteran drama stars, including Mr. Chen, who even won a Grand Slam of TV Drama Awards?"

——"It's just that the most capable ones will win. This is the 'Best Actor' award, not the 'Oldest Seniority Award'. If Ding Zhi's performance is enough to support him in winning the Best Actor Award, then what's the surprise?"

——"I have to say that after watching "The Hunt" last year, I may not be able to remember the plot of the movie, but the Wang Yuanyang with tears in his eyes has always stayed in my heart."

——"I have a saying, compared to Mr. Xiang, Ding Zhi's acting skills are still ten times worse than those of Best Actor Guo!"

Both sides have their own opinions and are arguing endlessly. In fact, it also shows that Ding Zhi's acting skills, at least in the role of Wang Yuanyang in "The Hunt", have been recognized by many people.

After all, as the youngest finalist, everyone was focused on whether Ding Zhi had a chance to win the Best Actor Award.
