Millennium director

Time flies by.

Discussions about "The Legend of Shushan Immortal" are still very popular on the Internet.

Fans who are interested in this movie have long been determined to buy movie tickets to watch this movie as soon as possible. Even after the release of "Soul Ferry: Huangquan", they have already decided to watch this more ambitious, about A movie about Shushan in the World.

Netizens who don't want to watch this movie will naturally just treat it as nothing happened and will not pay attention to or participate in any discussion of this movie at all. They are busy with work, life, and playing games.

There are only a handful of weird white people who not only don't want to watch it, but are also mentally disturbed. They are struggling to start various verbal battles with fans who support the movie on the Internet, and are being watched and laughed at like clowns by Internet fun-lovers.

In this way, three days passed, and "The Legend of Shushan Xiaxia" was officially released on a large scale across the country, including Hong Kong and Macao, on October 1, 2012!

Times are progressing. Unlike the past where you had to go to the cinema to buy movie tickets in person, with the popularity of smartphones and the dazzling emergence of various apps, mature online ticketing platforms have emerged this year.

In February 2012, Meituan launched “Meituan Movies”, which was later renamed “Maoyan Movies” as a professional film app.

Of course, Meituan Movies has not yet become independent. It only exists on the page of Meituan APP, which can be regarded as business expansion.

And not just Meituan, other ticket purchasing websites have also been launched this year.

Well, it was made in the era of light and shadow.

To be precise, it was launched by Light and Film Times Cinemas in cooperation with Alibaba Group.

The name is still Taopiaopiao Movies, and it is affiliated with the Alipay platform, but Guangying Times Cinemas also holds 30% of the shares.

Just like the later cross-shareholding between Enlight Media and Meituan-Dianping, Line Media invested in Maoyan Movie through its subsidiary Shanghai Enlight Investment Holdings Co., Ltd.

Light and Film Times Cinemas has also invested in Taopiaopiao Movies and is one of the shareholders.

For this reason, Taopiaopiao advertisements have long been displayed in movie theaters across the country, and the ticket machines are also full of Taopiaopiao logos.

It is foreseeable that in the next few years, online movie ticket purchasing platforms will also fall into a melee, just like food delivery platforms and taxi-hailing apps.

However, Taopiaopiao is backed by the Alibaba Group, so it will definitely not be the one to appear. Even if it eventually loses to Maoyan Films, it should be no problem to occupy more than 30% of the market share.

The Light and Shadow Era, which has its own theater chain, will be invincible as long as you enter the theater.

However, this is not the main business of the Light and Film Times Group, and Wu Yuan has never paid attention to these things. His focus is only on the production and release of movies.

In the early morning of October 1st, just after 12 o'clock, theaters across the country were filled with movie fans waving movie tickets. Even the midnight screenings could not resist their enthusiasm, and they even went to the midnight premieres specifically. Come!

At the premieres of "The Legend of Shushan Xianxia" across the country on October 1 at 00:05, 00:10, and 00:15, the attendance rate exceeded 60%. At the backstage of major ticketing platforms and movie theaters, the box office Results are being tallied quickly.

In just the first hour of release, the box office of "The Legend of Shushan" exceeded 10 million!

By 8 o'clock in the morning, the first-day box office of "The Legend of Shushan" had exceeded 20 million, and this was just the beginning!

On the Internet, the first batch of movie fans who watched the premiere in the early morning talked about their feelings after watching it. Even until four or five in the morning, they were too excited to sleep and continued to chat about the movie.

Is "The Legend of Shushan Xiaxia" novel?

Novel, but not novel either.

What is novel is that this kind of pure fairy tale special effects blockbuster has never been seen in the mainland.

Although before this, mainland movies also released many magic and fantasy blockbusters, such as "The Dragon King of God", "Painted Skin" and "Walking with the Gods". These fantasy and fantasy blockbusters also used a lot of special effects, and they were also partial to fairy tales. Deductive.

But the reason why these movies are classified as fantasy and magic movies is because the core of the stories of these movies are not based on "cultivation", "cultivating immortals" and "immortals" as their selling points.

The main selling point of these movies is adventure and fantasy experiences. Most of them are a fantasy and magical journey that ordinary people encounter, and it is an accident.

But "The Legend of Shushan Xianxia" is different. From the beginning, this movie has built an independent Xianxia world and a complete Xianxia worldview.

Shushan, Kunlun, Penglai and other immortal sects...

Demonic sects such as Wuqingdao, Ghost Spirit Sect, and Tianmo Sect...

There are all kinds of monsters, monsters, and sects stationed in a fairyland, and all kinds of immortal cultivators are floating in the air, wielding swords or riding clouds.

These things, which have never appeared systematically in movies, together create an unconstrained fantasy world.

Somewhat like "Harry Potter", but the scenes are grander, more systematic, and more gorgeous than Harry Potter, just like the world of immortality in the now popular online novels.

This kind of immortality movie has never appeared in the film industry, bringing an unprecedented novel experience to movie fans.

Which Chinese person doesn’t have a fairy dream in his heart?

Especially after being influenced by online novels such as "A Mortal's Story of Cultivation of Immortality" in recent years, the young people born in the 1985s and 1990s have long had their understanding and fantasy of immortality and the world of immortality deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The mysterious world of immortality constructed in the movie "The Legend of Shushan Immortal" perfectly fits their fantasies. The story content of this movie is the same as that of most immortality novels, and it can even be said to be a fusion of these immortality novels. A masterpiece.

No way, Wu Yuan has read many more novels about cultivating immortals than the current Chinese netizens. After all, he has more than ten years of memory than these people.

As a director in his previous life, getting in touch with and understanding online literature was simply something he had to do.

No way, after 2014, there was a trend of adapting online novels in the mainland entertainment industry. Since 2014, a large number of online novels have been adapted into TV series. In fact, eight of the 10 new TV series were adapted from online novels. Both men and women have frequency.

Under such circumstances, Wu Yuan also had to pay attention to and pay attention to online literature. As a result, he fell in love with online novels and was a loyal Qidian reader before his rebirth.

With his huge reading volume of novels, it was a piece of cake to integrate the plots of some later classic and excellent immortal novels into the "Shu Mountain" series of movies.

Apart from anything else, the sword fighting conference in the first part is a product of his fusion of plots such as sect competitions and battles between immortals and demons in various immortality novels.

Even though they are willing to spend money on special effects, the scenes in "The Legend of Shushan" are definitely not inferior to Hollywood superhero movies!

This kind of Xianxia movie with top-notch special effects and completely Chinese-style plot and content is more in line with the taste of Chinese movie fans. It is really easy for Chinese movie fans to "climax"!

Big bang!

A direct explosion!

On the day of its premiere on October 1st, "The Legend of Shushan Immortal" earned 80 million yuan at the box office!

After the first day of word-of-mouth fermentation, fans from all walks of life after watching the movie praised the movie's shocking special effects on the Internet. After going crazy, the box office of "The Legend of Shushan Fairy" even increased on the second day of its premiere. On the first floor, the box office exceeded 100 million that day, with a box office of 120 million!

With a box office of 200 million in two days of release, "The Legend of Shushan Xiaxia" is a complete hit! (End of chapter)
