Chapter 210 A genre film that is easy to hit the box office

If someone had thought that Mecca's words had some truth before, and that Merry Christmas could surpass the hero's true nature and win a new box office record, then with the daily box office statistics of the next day by the Little Lord, no one believed Mecca's predictions again.

Because the gap is too big, the next day, the little kid who won 6.5 million yuan on Christmas Day, had a box office of over 10 million yuan in just two days. Such a number is something that more than 90% of movies produced by film companies dare not expect to be the final box office.

It only took two days for the little devil to be in charge.

Of course, as Christmas passed, the daily box office of Little Killer inevitably began to fall, and the decline was quite large, falling 30%, but it still achieved more than 4 million daily box office, hundreds of thousands more than the day it was released.

The box office rose to 15 million in three days. Qiao Feng silenced his peers again, and Mecca also became a turtle shrouding his head, avoiding reporters and stopping.

In Hong Kong, the box office of Hometown Kat has steadily declined from the third day of its release, because after all, Hong Kong does not regard Christmas as a serious holiday.

It's different in the United States. The box office of the Little Knight has been rising for days since its release. This is not to say that the Little Knight is not affected by the end of Christmas in the United States, but on the one hand, Christmas is a truly important festival in the United States, which lasts a little longer, and on the other hand, it is because the box office hit 24 and 25 days, especially on the 25th, it won more than 20 million yuan in one day. During the whole Christmas, the Little Knight's popularity was unparalleled, which made the American theater and publishers see it powerfully. As the publisher, 20th Century Fox has a large proportion of the box office share. When it found that the situation of the Little Knight's situation was great, they naturally had to increase the distribution efforts and use resources to fight for the Little Knight's screening from the theater and strive for more canvases. One thousand canvases are too small, so there must be another two or three hundred yuan added.

The theater company has the same idea as Twentieth Century Fox, and also wants to add canvases to Owner and film, so that they can get more money. Then the two sides hit it off, and Twentieth Century Fox increased its publicity investment, while the theater company cut the canvases for other films with poor attendance rates within the contract, and then freed up the canvases to schedule the canvases to release Owner and films.

In this way, although the attendance rate of Little Owner began to decline with the end of Christmas, due to the dramatic increase in the canvas, its box office was even higher.

Among all types of movies, comedy movies are the easiest to hit the box office and the most powerful box office trend.

Especially before superhero films and special effects blockbusters appeared, although comedy films were still a type that was prone to box office hits, after all, the most awesome at that time were all kinds of superhero films with special effects blockbusters.

Of course, at that time, Chinese domestic films were still mainly used comedy films as the box office. For example, the Hug series, a certain monster-catching movie, and Stephen Chow's Journey to the West, are typical examples of such examples.

And it's even more so when it comes to Hong Kong movies.

Since the 1970s, except for Li Xiaolong's films, most of the annual box office champions and even the top few are almost all comedy films.

Then 80 years after the rise of Hong Kong movies, although Cheng Long's junior brother seemed to be kung fu, everyone knows that Cheng Long's kung fu is a kung fu comedy, and a humorous fight. To put it bluntly, half of the fight is a fight is a comedy.

Looking at the golden decade of Hong Kong movies, in addition to the God of Gambling Series, there are also many comedy elements here. In addition to the heroic nature, the rest are all comedy without exception.

From the cold-faced laughing craftsman Xu Guanwen, the Xu brothers to Cheng Long’s kung fu comedy, to Stephen Chow’s nonsensical comedy, it is all a type of comedy.

There is also the lucky star series of Sammo Hung, which is also a comedy.

Why did New Art City be able to be glorious for ten years? Almost accompanied by the golden decade of Hong Kong films? It is all because they adhere to the production policy of comedy movies as the fundamental one.

This is also true in the United States and Hollywood. Almost one-third of the box office lists in the top ten every year, and most of them are comedy films.

Originally, on December 5, an action comedy film in the United States was released. Naturally, this film would not be an action comedy like Jackie Chan, because it is a police and gangster film, so it is called an action film, but the highlights are still comedy factors.

This film tells the story of Axo Fly, the most difficult police officer in Detroit. He is usually eloquent and never plays according to common sense when handling cases. Not only does the criminal feel difficult to deal with him, but even the boss in the police station is worried all day long because of him. After Fly made a proposition again, trying to kill a group of drug dealers alone, his boss finally had no choice but to issue an order to ban him and threaten him with expulsion.

Just when Foley was feeling depressed, his friend Mike, who had just been released from prison, came to his residence to find him. Mike and Foley grew up together, but were sentenced to jail for theft a few years ago. This time, Mike also brought a series of German bonds worth 20,000 marks, claiming that he was originally working as a security guard in a high-end gallery in Beverly Hills, but was fired not long ago. Foley was a little confused about this, and that night, Mike was murdered at the door of Fley's house.

According to the police's subsequent investigation, Mike was an experienced drug dealer, and his murder was at the doorstep of Foley's house. For these reasons, his boss Todd strictly prohibited Foley from interfering in the case. Angry Foley felt that Mike's death must have a direct relationship with the gallery where he worked, so he immediately took leave to his boss Todd and went straight to Beverly Hills in the name of vacation, trying to find the murderer himself.

Furley's friend Jenny also runs a gallery in Beverly Hills, and Mike's job was introduced by her. Victor, the owner of the gallery, who works in Mike, is a well-known top art businessman in the United States. Therefore, it seems a bit incredible to Jenny's suspicion of Victor. But when Furley took Jenny to sneak into Victor's warehouse where art was stored and saw a large number of German bonds hidden in the oil painting box, she decided to help Furley find out the real murderer.

The ending naturally ends with the black police bringing the bad guys to justice.

The story is very old-fashioned, but I have to say that this film made the old-fashioned story with new ideas. There are many American-style jokes inside, and American audiences are very willing to buy it, and the box office of the film has also risen sharply.

Originally, many people in the United States were optimistic that this film would win the annual box office championship, but unexpectedly, a little devil suddenly appeared.
