Chapter 160: Box office surpasses and tops the list

The speed at which "Wushuang" broke the 100 million yuan box office in nine days did shock the entertainment industry. After all, he was a newcomer who had just debuted for a year and had achieved such results. What would the older generation of directors think?
However, the box office of the movie "Wushuang" will not stop rising because of the envy and jealousy of those people in the entertainment industry.

On the tenth day of its release, "Wushuang" box office once again closed at 1056 million yuan.

Although the performance has declined slightly, the box office of "Baby Project" which was released at the same time as it did fell even more sharply, and it is still a long way from the 100 million yuan mark. I'm afraid it will not have a chance to make a breakthrough this time.

This also caused a stir among the media reporters. Last time, "Fatal Call" defeated "Huo Yuanjia" starring Li Lianjie, and this time, "Wushuang" defeated "Baby Project" starring Cheng Long.

The two kung fu superstars were both defeated by the same newcomer. The new generation pushed the old generation out and beat them to death on the beach. This topic instantly became popular.

Those news media were not afraid of offending people and fanned the flames in newspapers, magazines and TV programs, because this incident also set off a wave of public opinion on the Internet.

It’s now the eleventh day since the release of “Wushuang”, and the box office has closed at 973 million yuan!

Day 1011, million yuan!

Day 924, million yuan!

Day 14…

As time goes by, the performance of "Wushuang" has successfully surpassed Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet", becoming the well-deserved number one in the National Day holiday, and also became the box office champion of 2006, and is still struggling to move towards the 2 million mark.

Because of this achievement and Feng Xiaogang's comments on Wang Hao's movie, a group of people went to Feng Xiaogang's blog post to comment.

But when they opened Feng Xiaogang's blog, they found that the post "The Young Can Be Formidable" had been secretly deleted.

Such narrow-minded behavior naturally caused the crowd of onlookers to laugh at Feng Xiaogang for a long time.

As the movie became popular and Wang Hao and his main creative team appeared in various cities, local print media and newspapers also began to praise "Wushuang".

Among them, the praise from Yangcheng Evening News was the most exaggerated:
“The emergence of ‘Wushuang’ is a milestone in the development of my country’s commercial films, and a transformation of film art from big scenes and big productions to screenwriting, creativity, special effects, and production.

It marks a new look in the creation and production of Chinese films. The younger generation of directors, represented by Wang Hao, has gradually taken on the responsibility of expanding the market for new types of films for China.”

However, in addition to these praises for the films, there are also many talented people among the general audience who, through several of Wang Hao's films, have sensed his grand ambitions and the tip of the iceberg of the science fiction film universe that has been slightly revealed.

For example, a netizen named "I am not the old Wang next door" wrote a popular post on Douban:
On the Valuability of Wang Hao and His Grand Ambitions

"What is so valuable about Wang Hao?
The thing is that he can always make the audience enjoy the moment and make them look forward to the next moment.

Whether it is "Fatal Call" or "Wushuang", or his early films "Buried" and "The Shallows" shot on the movie channel, we can enjoy a fascinating beginning, a shocking and surprising mid-term reversal, and the astonishment and aftertaste when the mystery is truly revealed in the end.

He is good at playing with people's hearts, keeping the audience immersed in the movie, in a narrative rhythm that is parallel or lagging behind the characters, thus arousing your curiosity.

He is also good at showing off novel concepts and coming up with ideas that are difficult for ordinary people to come up with, which forces you to use your brain quickly to prevent yourself from being thrown off by the repeatedly drifting plot. However, when many movie fans are cheering for Director Wang's novel ideas, I am more concerned about the treasures contained in his movies.

Yes, it's treasure!
If you watch a movie by Wang Hao just to appreciate the art, creativity and story, then if you watch several movies shot by Wang Hao together, you will see more different stories.

These stories are hidden in a few words, with subtle clues and are inconspicuous. Perhaps you have to watch them a second or third time before you can come to your senses and discover some clues.

But when you successfully connect them together, you will discover a new world.

That is a film world that belongs only to Wang Hao. It is different from the film series we have seen in the past. It is more grand and rich in connotation, like a clear spring that never stops flowing and a mighty river, making it impossible for you to guess where its boundaries are.

I can even boldly assert that as a director, Wang Hao must have an overall plan for this film series, and this plan is unique even in an international context and is enough to lead the trend of film creation.

As long as his plan can be successfully implemented, he will definitely have a place in the future Chinese entertainment industry, and even the international entertainment industry.

Director Wang Hao, the future is promising! Come on! "

The appearance of this hot post led to the revelation of several of Wang Hao’s previous works, and the movie channel also began to screen "Buried", "The Shallows" and "The Call" in rotation.

The audience followed the line of thought of "I am not Mr. Wang next door" and soon realized that there was a connection between these movies and the science fiction movie universe. They posted various clues online and wrote a lot of analysis posts.

However, as the one who praised this post, Wang Hao has no chance to see it at the moment.

Because after completing the early promotion of "Wushuang", he led a group of people on a plane to Hollywood.

In addition to a younger new assistant, those who traveled with him on the plane this time included financial and legal staff from Galaxy Interactive Entertainment, as well as Zhang Yang, Li Kui, Wen Pengcheng and Zhuang Wenqiang.

The four of them went to Hollywood with Wang Hao to "learn from others".

What is the truth? Of course, it is the "true scripture" of film industrialization.

After all, compared with the mainland, the level of development of Hollywood's film industrialization is indeed much higher and more advanced.

Even though Wang Hao wanted to develop in this direction after his rebirth and made a lot of efforts, Galaxy Interactive Entertainment has only taken a small and insignificant step on the road to film industrialization.

In this case, it would be best if there were pioneers for them to learn from and refer to, so as to reduce many unnecessary detours in the development process.

So taking advantage of the opportunity of "Wushuang" being released in Europe and the United States, Wang Hao also communicated with the film's investor, Columbia Pictures, for a long time, and proposed that they wanted to further deepen cooperation and send people to exchange and learn advanced Hollywood production technology.

Zhang Yang and the other four were the first group of students selected by Wang Hao to go to the United States.
