One of Zhou Dongyu's mentors and the famous director Chen Kexin served as the chairman of the jury of the international competition unit of this year's film festival, and said frankly at the meeting of the jury that he did not expect that the lover Zeng Guoxiang's "Youth You" could sell 1.5 billion at the box office.
"Tap Water" determines the box office trend.
Following the invitation of the famous director Chen Kaige to lead the jury last year, this year's Macao International Film Festival invited director Chen Kexin, who has been extremely active in recent years, to serve as the chairman of the jury.
At the meeting of the jury on the morning of the 5th, Director Chen Kexin talked about the film "You are the Younger" which was shortlisted for the "New Chinese Image" section of the Macau Film Festival. The film's director Zeng Guoxiang is Chen Kexin's apprentice, and the heroine Zhou Dongyu is Chen Kexin's most promising young actress in recent years, and he is also the heroine of "July and Ansheng" appointed by him.
Chen Kexin said frankly that the entire team didn’t expect much from the box office of "Young You" before it was released, "because this is not a common commercial film, of course it is not a literary film." Unexpectedly, the box office of "Young You" will eventually reach 1.5 billion yuan. This unexpected joy of
is not unrelated to the first wave of audience watching the film and acting as the "tap water" for the film. Chen Kexin therefore concluded that there are now many e-ticketing platforms for mainland movies, which provide a free forum for audiences who have actually watched movies, and mainland audiences are becoming more mature, no longer superstitious about celebrities and big directors, but more trust in online platform ratings, word of mouth It is the most important factor that changes the box office trend of a movie and even saves a movie. He believes that this phenomenon has changed the box office ecology of Chinese movies.
combined with the similar situation in Hollywood, he said that many movies released in the mainland have a mediocre box office on the first weekend, but once word of mouth leaks, the movie may double or more from the second weekend. "This makes Hollywood very confused, because Their box office in the first week of their film market opening may be half of the total box office.”
Zhou Dongyu was on the hot search as soon as he appeared.
