The siphon effect produced by a billion-dollar blockbuster at this stage is very terrifying.
"Animal World" strongly reduced the share of all other films in the same period, and it alone accounted for 70% of the film schedule.
On the 7th, the last day of the National Day holiday and the ninth day of the film's release, statistics at noon showed that as of 11:50 pm on the 6th, the total national box office of "Animal World" officially exceeded the 100 million mark, reaching 104 million.
This year's first domestic film with a box office of over 100 million was born.
Xu Ke became the sixth member of the billion-dollar director club in the Chinese film industry.
On the 8th, the first working day after the long holiday, the Film Bureau announced the holiday results of "Animal World" at 10 a.m.:
"Animal World" was released for 9 days and grossed a total of 114 million yuan at the box office, of which 107,000 yuan was earned during the holidays.
The real National Day champion!
"Animal World"'s over 100 million yuan, in addition to helping Xu Ke enter the 100 million yuan director club, is also a huge help to the actors.
Especially the male and female protagonists.
To be exact, both Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei are relatively new to the film industry.
Two newcomers to the film industry have handed over a report card worth over 100 million yuan, and the industry is going to take another look at these two people.
Mercedes-Benz increased its advertising investment after the National Day, and announced on the afternoon of the 8th that it would give a new C-Class to Zhang Yuanjun, making him the first owner of the car in China.
Louis Vuitton also officially ended its investigation period for Zhang Yuanjun, and officially announced him as a brand friend in China - a title that is one level higher than the brand experience officer and is better than nothing.
Liu Yifei has been renewed for the advertising contract of Yili You Yoghurt, and I heard that Coca-Cola is also contacting her.
Although Huang Bo and Li Jun's character is not as eye-catching as the black-skinned character in "Stones", he still has a share of the box office that exceeds 100 million. This is not something "Stones" can compare to.
After the National Day, the promotion pace of "Animal World" began to slow down. The seven-day long holiday was enough to squeeze out 70% of the box office of "Animal World". No matter how hard Bala worked on the promotion, it would be half the result with half the effort.
The main creators now mostly focus on interviews, and a day or two in a city is enough for the road show.
Today, the male and female protagonists of "Animal World" were interviewed by Cao Kefan in Beijing.
The title of this interview is: "Young and Promising, Exclusive Interview with Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei".
"You two, we meet again." Cao Kefan greeted the two of them with a smile, and the camera had already started filming. "I took a look at the topic of our interview today, which is called Young Young Promising Young People. Both of you should be young and promising. of."
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "Yifei is, but I am not."
Liu Yifei didn't even bother to talk to him.
Cao Kefan disagreed with Zhang Yuanjun's statement: "Yifei is, and so are you. You have achieved such results just one year after graduation. You must be considered young and promising."
Of course, the topic we want to talk about today is "Animal World". Cao Kefan said: ""Animal World" has a box office of over 100 million, is it expected?"
Zhang and Liu glanced at each other. Zhang Yuanjun signaled to Liu Yifei and said, "It seems a bit too loud to say it was expected." Cao Kefan and Zhang Yuanjun were not expecting what you said, you idiot.
But the two of them and the film crew did not interrupt Liu Yifei. She continued: "Before the release, Mr. Ren said that it could exceed 100 million. If he said that, he would give us red envelopes and knock ice cubes."
Cao Kefan said: "Both of you should be considered newcomers to the big screen, right?"
Liu Yifei fought back: "I am, but he is not. He has already been shortlisted for Cannes."
Cao Kefan then said: "Yes, you were shortlisted for Cannes, and "Animal World" is your first..."
"The third movie."
"Then you are not considered a newcomer. You have made three movies, one of which was shortlisted for Cannes."
"Then Yifei has four movies, but "The King of Kung Fu" is not broadcast."
"Then you also have four films. "Love Is Afterlife" was just completed last month."
Cao Kefan said: "But you have only graduated for one year."
"So we are indeed newcomers."
"So you are young and promising." Cao Kefan praised, "What is the biggest change that "Animal World" has brought to you?"
Liu Yifei said first: "I don't think there are any big changes, I just feel like there are more invitations."
Zhang Yuanjun said to her: "You are a full man and don't know how hungry a man is. You can't answer the notice even if you want to."
Cao Kefan motioned to Zhang Yuanjun to also talk about his changes.
"In addition to more invitations, there are also more people around me."
Cao Kefan grasped the topic keenly: "Who is it?"
"Good people." Zhang Yuanjun's smile when he said this was very meaningful, "I now find that I am surrounded by good people and they all say good things."
"Isn't this bad?"
Zhang Yuanjun said: "Not very good."
"This is their job."
"right."
"Why do you think this is bad?" Cao Kefan asked Zhang Yuanjun. Liu Yifei on the side was also listening carefully.
"Actor is an 'emotional' profession," Zhang Yuanjun thought for a while and said, "You need to feel different feelings and emotions from the outside world. If everyone around me flatters me and says nice things to me, I will feel that this is blocking me. I will be very wary of this as a channel to obtain external emotions.”
"You just don't enjoy it if you are lucky." Liu Yifei said this to him.
"No, if you really listen, watch, and feel, being an actor is not a happy profession in this regard."
Talking back to "Animal World", Cao Kefan asked Liu Yifei: "How did you get into the crew of "Animal World"?"
"I really have to thank him for this," Liu Yifei pointed to Zhang Yuanjun beside her, "Director Xu Ke cast him at first, but later he came to Liu Qing and said that there weren't many roles for this role, so just find a young actress with a little experience. He recommended me, and he called me and said, come to such and such a place, Director Xu Ke wants to see you. So I went. I tried it for a while, and there was no problem, so I decided."
What Liu Yifei said was half true and half false. Everything she said was true, but she didn't say that the boss of this drama was Zhang Yuanjun.
The three of them talked a lot about "Animal World", during which Cao Kefan asked a more pointed question: "Would you mind if the audience said you have facial paralysis?"
Gui Hai Yida has a facial paralysis, and Zheng Kaisi's expressions are not very rich, so some viewers said that Zhang Yuanjun has a paralyzed face and has no acting skills.
"I don't mind, because every character has his own characteristics, and every character should also accept criticism from the audience."
It's tiring to respond to such negative reviews. "Animal World" is really an excellent and refreshing movie now, and the score of over 100 million also proves that the audience recognizes it.
There is no need to waste your breath on a few bad reviews.
At the same time, Zhang Yuanjun is very cautious about this mentality. He is very worried that he will fall into top-notch self-confidence.
I feel that my acting is good, and I "just take a look at other people's criticisms, but don't pay too much attention to them."
Such confidence is very dangerous.
Sometimes you really can't "just have a clear conscience", you have to feel guilty.
The three people recorded for more than two hours before it ended.
"Thank you to two such outstanding young people for accepting our interview today. We also hope that these two young and promising actors can contribute more exciting and outstanding film and television works to the audience in the future. Thank you both."
"Thank you." Zhang and Liu also thanked them.
