On July 7, 2020, when a woman surnamed Wu in Hangzhou went downstairs to pick up a courier, she was fabricated by convenience store owner Lang and spread a false rumor on the Internet.
On April 20, 2021, Wu successfully defended his rights, the other party was given a suspended sentence, and the case was also selected as one of the top ten legal supervision cases.
Coincidentally, Zhang Jingchu, who has experienced more than ten years of online violence, finally won the first lawsuit in his life with the weapon of the law.
Although the other party did not carry out the judgment and did not issue an apology, in Zhang Jingchu's heart, this huge stone that had been accumulated in his heart for more than ten years was finally removed.
The well-known director Dapeng, based on the "7.7 Hangzhou Woman Takes Express" incident adapted into the movie "Keep You Safe", finally met with the majority of fans.
How is the report card handed over by Dapeng this time?
01,140 million won the first place at the box office, the score rose to 7.9 points, and the box office reputation of "Keep You Safe" was double-harvested
In the 10th week of 2023 (March 6 to March 12), the box office rankings of Chinese mainland were freshly released, and Dapeng's latest work "Keep You Safe" won the box office in the first week.
This week, Chinese mainland Cinemas ushered in the large-scale opening of two new films, and "Keep You Safe" on the same stage is "The Cloister Pavilion" starring Ren Suxi and Liu Mintao.
In terms of old films, the Hong Kong film "Poisonous Tongue Lawyer" starring Huang Zihua continued to score in the third week, with a total of 36.73 million, ranking third on the list, and the cumulative box office in the mainland was close to 160 million, and the Hong Kong box office of the film exploded by 115 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the box office champion in the history of Hong Kong Chinese films.
"Broken Network" starring Kwok Fucheng was affected by its word of mouth, falling by more than 55% the next week, coupled with the impact of two new films, only got 19.21 million in the second week, ranking sixth, and it is predicted that the box office will decline to about 80 million, and the box office prospects are worrying.
The movie "Cloister Pavilion", adapted from Keigo Higashino's best-selling suspense novel, after the large-scale opening, the Douban score was lifted, and it failed 5.8 points, and its first-weekend box office received 79.07 million, defeating "Keep You Safe" and ranked second.
"Keep You Safe" has achieved remarkable results, mainly reflected in two aspects: box office and word of mouth.
The film grossed 140 million at the box office in the first weekend, winning the 10th week of the mainland box office rankings, and the box office was still in a state of reversal in the past three days, and the predicted box office increased significantly from 380 million to about 600 million.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the box office reversal, the film's reputation has also experienced an extremely rare reversal, and the last word-of-mouth reversal was the TV series version of "The Three-Body Problem", which soared from 8.0 points on the premiere Douban to 8.6 points.
Generally speaking, premiere movies have the saying of "seeing the light and dying", such as Zhang Yimou's "Manjiang Hong" opening word of mouth 7.8 points, which has now fallen to 7.2 points; Tony Leung's "When the Wind Rises Again" score has dropped from 6.8 points to 6.3 points.
In the entire Spring Festival file, only Wu Jing and Andy Lau's "The Wandering Earth 2" rose from 8.2 to 8.4 points, which is also the first film after "The Wandering Earth 2" to reverse the decline in word-of-mouth.
The opening score of "Keep You Safe" is 7.8 points, and after three days of release, the reputation has risen to 7.9 points.
The detailed word-of-mouth figures are as follows: a total of 5.3 people rated it, 23% of viewers gave five stars, and 52.8% rated four stars, better than 93% of comedies.
For example, the comedy movie "Hello, Li Huanying" starring Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei exploded 5.413 billion at the mainland box office, with a Douban score of 7.7 points.
Happy Twist's first movie "Charlotte Troubles" has a reputation of 7.8 points, and last summer's "Walking on the Moon" starring Shen Teng and Ma Li hit the box office by 3.1 billion, with a Douban score of 6.6 points.
"Keep You Safe" scored 7.9 points, creating the best work in Dapeng's career, breaking the record of the highest score of 7.8 points in "Auspicious".
This time Dapeng is stable, and "Keep You Safe" has an extremely rare phenomenon of double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office, so the film will sell well at the box office in the future.
Besides, this work shocked many well-known people in the circle.
02, Yue Yunpeng, Gao Ye, Xu Zheng and many other stars called for it, this time must blow up Dapeng
On March 12, the third day of release, Xu Zheng, who has not been in business for a long time, actually posted: Such a good-looking "Keep You Safe", to ensure that the box office is safe! May the film market become lively as soon as possible.
The meaning of Xu Zheng's article is twofold: first, "Keep You Safe" is good-looking and the movie quality is high; Second, word of mouth is not proportional to the box office, and the film market is not lively enough.
The star who posted the call for "Keep You Safe" is also Yue Yunpeng: he called this small composition a film review, in fact, this is a post-viewing feeling, and by the way, he soured himself, why didn't Dapeng find me this time.
On March 9, the movie even alarmed her sister-in-law Gao Ye in "Crazy", she praised director Dapeng as awesome, and called on everyone to watch this movie, and remember to bring tissues when watching.
After "Crazy" became popular, the commercial value of Gaoye rose, received a lot of heavy commercial endorsements in a short period of time, and also attracted a large number of loyal fans.
On March 3, after the first round of screenings, Zhang Yuqi posted: Support Dapeng's new work.
Also on this day, Zhou Dongyu Ma Sichun, who won the Golden Horse Award for "July and Ansheng", posted a call for "Keep You Safe" at the same time.
As early as when "Keep You Safe" was first finalized, Huang Bo and Wang Yibo both posted a call.
Zhang Jingchu, who felt empathy, directly wrote a film review, praising Dapeng at the end and wishing the box office a big sale.
Good works are worth word of mouth, this is the charm exuded by "Keep You Safe", but also the personality charm of Dapeng, the movie is indeed great, the author Brother Coffee must blow up Dapeng this time.
In addition to Dapeng, the main creator of the movie also starred Li Xueqin, Yin Zheng, Wang Xun, Ma Li, Song Qian, Jia Bing, Yang Di, Pan Binlong and other casts, telling the story of Wei Pingan, played by Dapeng, who refuted rumors for customer Han Lu (played by Song Qian).
Dapeng is a well-deserved leading actor, and the rest of the actors follow the theme of the road, directly walking to watch the flowers, the most played is Li Xueqin, who plays Wei Pingan's sister Wei Ruyi in the movie.
Don't ask why you didn't find Liu Yan to play this role, I think this woman's personality characteristics are a bit rough and not suitable for Liu Yan.
In the movie, Wei Pingan, a middle-aged person, was down, previously helped a friend out, was sentenced to prison, in order not to drag down his ex-wife, after entering prison, he took the initiative to file for divorce from his wife, and his children followed their mother.
After coming out, he was engaged in online live broadcasting to sell cemeteries for a living, at this time, he received an order from the orphan Han Lu (played by Song Qian), because he was terminally ill and wanted to find a home for himself, so he bought a "villa" next to the grave of his boyfriend (his boyfriend died in a car accident).
Before her death, Han Lu donated 1.36 million yuan to the orphanage and became an Internet celebrity, and shortly after her death, Han Lu received a bad review due to the Internet storm, and the owner of the cemetery developer, Mr. Feng (played by Ma Li, who is the sister of her boyfriend), wanted to move Han Lu's grave.
In order to correct Han Lu's name, Wei Pingan traced the source of the Internet violence all the way, and a Dapeng road movie was born.
The movie has laughter and tears, and contains many popular network elements, such as live broadcasts, rewards, etc., involving social phenomena such as online violence, online rumors, and school bullying.
The social topics in "Keep You Safe" are common problems in contemporary society, allowing the audience to think deeply about the bottom line of morality, and they can find resonance in these people when watching the movie, which increases the viewing and popularity of the movie.
In addition, through the way of comedy, the seriousness of these problems and the correct response we should make is further emphasized, with universal social revelation.
In addition to comedy, Dapeng did the most crucial thing, he filmed the life perception of this movie, the reason why the movie's reputation is so high, this is the ultimate reason, just like Liu Yan called for it.
On March 10, Dapeng's friend Liu Yan posted: "Do what you think is right, the fireworks at the end will give you the answer, applaud the actor director Dapeng!" ”
In the movie, he used Ma Bai's entity and illusion many times, symbolizing the loyal love between Han Lu and her boyfriend, and the last time he was stimulated by the white horse was the white horse in Guan Hu's "Eight Hundred".
There are two Easter eggs at the end of the movie, the first is when Han Lu met Wei Pingan in the commissary when he was a child, he asked Han Lu to drink a bottle of Coke, and a sentence appeared on the big screen: dedicated to the dashing brother who loves to drink coke, this person is the deceased Zhao Yingjun, who was a friend of Dapeng before his death.
The second Easter egg is Han Lu and Bai Yu's boyfriend Feng Mingming taking a wedding photo, and the final image is frozen between their hands.
Dapeng Zhizhi produced such a brilliant work, how can it not be blown up?
03, Deng Chao Khanyan, the subtitle of "Chinese Table Tennis" "Jedi Strikes Back" was given to Dapeng
"Keep You Safe" won 140 million in the first week, which can directly make Deng Chao shameful.
That's right, on February 17, Deng Chao and Yu Baimei's work "Chinese Table Tennis" was released, and now the box office has fallen out of the top ten list.
On Sunday, March 12, the daily box office of "Chinese Table Tennis", which was released for 24 days, only collected 200,000, and the total box office in the mainland was 99.07 million, almost in the state of release.
"Chinese Table Tennis" is another major tragedy in the history of Chinese film box office after Donnie Yen's "Search and Rescue", and the Internet revealed that the budget cost of the film was 350 million yuan, but the final box office barely exceeded 100 million.
So, the film will eventually make the producer's 300 million real money lost, should Deng Chao reflect on it, why is everyone willing to watch Dapeng's "Keep You Safe", just don't watch my movie?
What made Deng Chao shameful was also the subtitle of "Chinese Table Tennis" "Jedi Strikes Back", the movie withdrew from the Spring Festival file and was released again, but there was no Jedi Counterattack phenomenon at the box office.
At this time, this idiom can be given to director Dapeng.
As we all know, Dapeng's debut is the peak, and in 2015, the first directorial work "Pancake Man" hit a high box office of 1.157 billion, ranking eighth in the box office list that year.
Although the movie won a high box office, but the reputation was not satisfactory, many fans called it a big bad film, Douban word of mouth 5.8 points to fully explain.
For a long time after that, the box office of Dapeng's directorial and starring works repeatedly declined.
In 2017, the box office of the well-known "Sewing Machine Band" fell to 459 million, and "Father and Son Soldiers" cooperated with Fan Wei and Zhang Tianai only received 125 million.
In 2018, "Qi Men Dunjia" starring Yuan Heping and Ni Ni reported 299 million at the box office.
In 2019, "The Beneficiary" starring Liu Yan reached 219 million at the box office.
In the same year, Dapeng took Ou Hao to "Take Risk", but the box office did not stand up, and it directly hit the street to 44.28 million.
After failing to try other types of films to transform, after four years, Dapeng can finally rely on the comedy movie "Keep You Safe" to fight back a Jedi, believing that the film's final box office can reach more than 600 million.
Deng Chao directly sent the Jedi counterattack to Dapeng, and the name of the movie "Keep You Safe" can be completely changed to "Jedi Counterattack of Refuting Rumors", without any sense of violation.
In fact, this movie has taught Deng Chao a good lesson, Deng Chao is currently trying to transform, it is obvious that the box office of this sports competition movie "Chinese Table Tennis" is really on the street.
Transform this thing, ordinary people can't play it, big director Feng Xiaogang can't control it, "Only Yun Knows" is also a big hit, it's really not good, or return to the old line, starring in the New Year comedy, this can basically be stable.
04, written at the end:
As a new work directed by Dapeng, the success of "Keep You Safe" can largely be attributed to the director's close planning and excellent performance.
The story is wonderful, allowing the audience to deeply understand the true meaning of human nature, explain the current situation of society in a comedy way, and then use the current situation to trigger reflection, so that the audience can have a sense of life.
In general, Dapeng perfectly combines realistic themes and comedy elements, showing different social outlooks and levels of human nature, so "Keep You Safe" has achieved remarkable results, and has achieved good results at the box office and word of mouth.
Dapeng is truly amazing!
