The crucial reason that determines a movie's box office collection is scheduling. According to Pony Punch's Wang Yi told the Nandu reporter, "Guangzhou's current 'Will Love' scheduling in the national city can't get into the top five, and even ranked in the nineties when it occurs." Reporter sampling Baidu movie box office bar data show that on February 16, Guangzhou theater for "will love" scheduling number only ranked tenth, lower than always in Guangzhou after Tianjin, Xi'an and other cities. Of course, the number of schedules is absolutely proportional to the number of screens in theaters, so the comparison of individual films is non-objective to a certain extent. However, from a side-by-side comparison, Guangzhou's scheduling was significantly more favorable than that of Fatal Companion, starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. Of the country's fifteen major box office cities, only "Fatal Partner" had more scheduling in Guangzhou than "Will Love".
As the most important theater in Guangzhou, Qiu Qing, the head of China Film Southern New Line, explained to Nandu reporters, "The box office is the main reason for the high and low scheduling, and the main reason for the scheduling is the audience demand. In Guangzhou 'Fatal' demand is greater than 'Will Love'." According to the data given by Qiu Qing, the current box office result of "Will Love" in China Film Southern New Deal is 5.3 million, which only accounted for 5% of the 100 million yuan box office, "This percentage is on the low side, under normal circumstances, we originally accounted for 10%-14% of the nation's box office results. Of course 'Will Love' can break 100 million dollars estimated that the northern market contributes a lot." According to the data, the current local market "Will Love" box office exceeded 10 million, but only reached 10% of the overall box office, which is on the low side.
In addition to the "hard" reason of scheduling, the influence of the two Hong Kong-style comedies in the Spring Festival New Year's slot is still strong. According to the data, "The Strongest Happiness" has successfully exceeded 12 million at the box office of China Film South, while "Long Live Happiness" has also exceeded 6 million. "The two movies, Strongest and Happy, are very popular on our side." Especially Hurray for Happy, the national box office has now reached 20 million, with the two local theaters contributing half of it. And the time influence of these two movies is also very wide. "It has at least a month's influence." Wolf in front, despite the "will love" ten days late release, but in Hong Kong's far-reaching influence in Guangzhou, and even Guangdong, "will love" can not stop the two Hong Kong-produced movies strong. Nandu reporter connected to the Beijing Road Qinggong Cinema at Manager Yang, he said, "At present, the attendance of the two Hong Kong-produced films is still very high, and is still the mainstay of our theater." According to him, the performance of "Will Love" is moderate, "It is still two small halls, but the scheduling aspect will be slowly reduced." Cultural differences, Guangzhou cinema also has "East and West" difference Analyzing the underlying reasons, respondents said that the cultural differences between the north and south is the main element. Watching Hong Kong movies, TVB grew up in the old broad may not have seen the TV version of "will love", thus causing a certain degree of cognitive differences. Martial Arts Outreach is a clear example. The local box office of the well-received "Martial Arts Outreach" ultimately accounted for only 10.5% of the national box office, and this happened again with "Will Love". But it's worth noting that Guangzhou theaters also have east-west differences. Nandu reporter went to the Tianhe District, Tianhe District, more foreign population of Gangding Tianhe Cinema City, and found that not a few people watching "will love", 7:30 show even close to a full house, and the scheduling of the situation than the two Hong Kong-produced movies to be better. In this regard, Yang, the manager of Qinggong Cinema, located in Yuexiu District, said that this is difficult to happen in their theater. "There are east-west differences in Guangzhou, and new districts such as Tianhe have more foreigners and young people, so they have a good awareness of 'Will Love'. While Yuexiu and other old districts have more old Guangzhou, so Hong Kong movies will be quite popular." But director Zhang Yibai insisted that compared to other movies with obvious regional cultures, "Will Love" is not significantly different. "You can understand this movie without having watched TV. The audience cries, in fact, for their own passing youth."
February 13, the day before Valentine's Day. Director Zhang Yibai, starring Li Yapeng and Xu Jinglei came to Shanghai to promote "Will Love to the End" (hereinafter referred to as "Will Love"), a collective nostalgia based on 12 years ago formally unfolded, to paraphrase the lines in the play: a toast to today's bland and shameless life! Everyone is not who they were yesterday, yet they can still joke and call each other nicknames, and that's what counts.
"The thing that makes me feel good is that we have an understanding that we'll work through disagreements quickly. It would be disappointing for a friend to say that after 12 years we've all become difficult to work with and become sassy." Li Yapeng said as follows "Love is not vain, we all rely on each other, according to is love. It's not like today, a lot of people say that when they fall in love they think about the house, the car or whatever, what they think about is not love, it's life, it's kind of sad." What is "Will Love" going to do this Valentine's Day? Director Zhang Yibai's words are the answer: to help people find out what love is. The movie is divided into three segments, three screenwriters, three stories and three styles. "The three stories complement each other. Different people with different life experiences will have different feelings." Zhang Yibai has his own attempts in this movie, especially the first story, which is shot like an "extended music video" and is extremely stylized.
"We did a survey in Guangzhou to investigate the audience who had seen the movie, and I didn't realize that there were more people who liked the first story than the second! I thought it was strange and asked them why. The answer is that they are in a pair of Yang Zheng and Wen Hui's expectations become a lot of viewers to judge "will love" the highest standard. Xu Jinglei's guess: those who like happy endings should have once been fans of the TV series "Will Love". For Xu Jinglei, the latter two stories are more enjoyable - from an actor's point of view, "because the first one didn't act much, not that kind of so-called acting fun."
This time it's not a simple remake or re-make. "The fact that there are three stories designed shows that the director doesn't want to repeat himself. It's only a failure if after 12 years, it's still the same as before, with no improvement."
12 years, the former team reunited, Li Yapeng think this thing has been very difficult. Li Yapeng himself faded from the screen for many years, Xu Jinglei directed a new film is also in intense preparation, "we people get together, this behavior is there 'love'." Zhang Yibai deepest impression is in Bordeaux, France, before the start of filming, we were together in the winery drinking wine, chatting about the script to chat for four or five hours, three bottles of wine, turn dusk to night, the topic is also from the play to talk about life, "talk about how we come over each other in the past few years, it was a very private conversation between friends, talk from the heart. I think, in the whole process of filming, that is the best time. 12 years have passed, heard Xu Jinglei say change: "That time youth, and no folds." Zhang Yibai is really cruel, always compare the footage of that past TV series to today's footage, all of a sudden, bags under the eyes, wrinkles are obvious, nothing to hide. A few days ago, Na Ying also could not help but say: Yapeng that will grow like that, now grow into this, all tortured by Wang Fei. Li Yapeng is not angry: "are friends flirting, (vicissitudes of life) is given, face is certainly old." Xu Jinglei shouted: "No bags under the eyes into a monster!" Then confidently asked the reporter back, "Don't you think I look better now than before? The movie, that's to portray a sense of vicissitude." "We're more mature than we were at that time, and both Lao Xu and I are more confident in that. I also said to the director, should I increase my bloat ah, and my hair." Li Yapeng ruffled his hair, "Just here (hairline) is a bit bald." "Actually, it's so easy for us to look good, lighten it a little bit and the folds are all gone. But what's the point of that? Instead, I think there should be a little bit of vicissitude to give the characters experience and exposure." When it comes to shooting magazine covers, for "Will Love", Li Yapeng and Xu Jinglei shot a lot this time. "Let's just say that one is too tender and looks too young." Li Yapeng reminded Xu Jinglei "Ahem! It's the one where they say you look like Tian Liang, right?" Laughter, "This is not surprising at all, I'm often P'd to look like all kinds of things. I think, as a public figure, there's really no way to argue, people still think it's because we want to look like that. If I were to do it, I'd look good and real. I can't argue with that. They're doing it for your own good, and they're not trying to make you look bad. In the end, we can only say: do whatever you want." Shooting process, Faye Wong appeared on the scene, for the family's "supervision", Li Yapeng and Xu Jinglei both said that there is no pear! "I have no pressure at all. On the contrary, some viewers said, Xu Jinglei and Li Yapeng acted to a passionate scene, Faye Wong began to sing! Haha." Xu Jinglei was joyful: "Faye Wong is not a stingy person. If she was, I'd be nervous." Li Yapeng said each other are professional actors: "visit Faye Wang far sitting, will not be in the scene, stand next to." "Sixth class" Beijing a legendary group, "will love" premiere, "Sixth class" more than 20 students collectively to "red scarf" modeling attended, classmates, including Na Ying, Jing Gangshan, Lu Chuan, Zheng Jun and so on. The students included Na Ying, Jing Gangshan, Lu Chuan, Zheng Jun and so on. Class president Wang Fei explained: "called 'Class Six One' because of the establishment of the first of June", "into the class all depends on fate". In the movie, "six one class" members of the friendship cameo reunion scene, although Faye Wong did not appear, but also on the set of the "supervision". Li Yapeng said: Our party activities are very healthy. Climbing ah, to the stadium to play badminton, and even organized over to Shanghai, recently held a "floating cloud film festival. Faye Wong, is considered the "initiator". Because of Love As the theme song of the movie, the creator Xiao Ke said: "Because of Love" explains why love should be carried to the end. Love to the end is an action, but why, this song gives the answer." The chorus was recorded separately by Eason Chan and Faye Wong. Eason Chan was busy performing and Faye Wong was busy taking medicine (she had been catching a cold). Eason Chan "recorded in Hong Kong and sang all night. Xiao Ke yelled at him to stop: "Stop it, don't get carried away." Back in Beijing, Faye Wong's next performance will be better than the last. Xiao Ke thought, "When is this going to end?" and finally could only say, "Almost. In the end, he could only say, "Almost done, sing again hot pot restaurant no place (Faye Wong loves hot pot)." In fact, the original name of the TV series was "Love Follows", which was later changed to "Carrying Love to the End" at the suggestion of Chen Jianbin. 2003, Faye Wong released an album titled "Carrying Love to the End", with the title song "Carrying Love to the End", which was written and composed by Faye Wong, and the lyrics and music were from Faye Wong's own words. In January 2011, Faye Wang teased in "Yang Lan Interviews" that "they are carrying out 'love' to the end, and I am carrying out 'love' to the end, which is much more ambitious than they are. "
