Chapter 351 Media Reviews
At 11:00 AM, Sina Entertainment, Tencent Entertainment, Sohu Entertainment, and NetEase Entertainment simultaneously pushed out the news that "Pacific Rim" had surpassed one billion yuan in box office revenue.
Sina's headline is "A New Billionaire: Fu Yibai Surpasses Gravity in the Pacific Rim, Reaching the Pinnacle Again."
Tencent used a more direct approach: "Breaking 1 billion in 20 days, Fu Yibai's box office myth continues."
Sohu's title was somewhat sentimental: "From Black Coal, Thin Ice to Pacific Rim: Fu Yibai's Six-Year Film Journey".
NetEase's title is the most interesting: "Defeating Yourself: Fu Yibai's Billion-Dollar Relay Race".
On Weibo, the hashtag #PacificRimBreaksOneBillion# surged to the top of the trending topics list within half an hour.
The topic garnered over 50 million views and more than 1.2 million discussions within an hour.
Fan Binbin posted a Weibo post with a picture of herself in a Jaeger suit from the movie "Pacific Rim".
The caption contained only four words.
"One billion, thank you."
Less than half an hour after this Weibo post was published, it received over 50,000 comments and over 30,000 reposts.
The top comments section was taken over by fans.
Comments like "Sister Binbin is awesome," "Mecha goddess," and "From Inception to Pacific Rim, Sister Binbin is a box office guarantee" were liked and made it to the top of the comments section.
Deng Chao posted a nine-grid photo collage, all of which were taken during the roadshow.
There are photos of him being surrounded by fans on stage, photos of him interacting with the audience, and a photo of him grinning while holding a model of the Dangerous Gazelle.
Caption: "Thank you everyone! You can't imagine the happiness of a billionaire leading man!"
The comments section was filled with messages like "Brother Chao has made something of himself," "From Running Man to billion-dollar leading man, Brother Chao is on fire," and "Looking forward to Brother Chao's next movie."
Huang Bo commented, "You've gotten cocky, huh?" Deng Chao immediately replied, "I'm cocky, I'm cocky." The two exchanged over a dozen comments, making the onlookers burst into laughter.
Lei Jiayin's Weibo style remains as genuine as ever.
He posted a photo of himself in military uniform on set, with the caption: "Thank you Director Fu for the opportunity, and thank you to the audience for your support. You are part of the billion-dollar budget."
Some people in the comments section made a joke.
"Lei Zi, why do you look like you're paying party dues?"
Lei Jiayin herself replied to this comment.
"Because I was so excited I didn't know what expression to make."
Yang Xue posted a long article, from the nervousness when she received the role to the reluctance when filming wrapped up, and the last paragraph reads:
"Thank you for Director Fu's trust, thank you for Sister Binbin and Brother Chao for taking care of us on set, and thank you to every audience member who went to the cinema."
This is the most important work in my acting career, and also one of my most precious memories.
The text was accompanied by three photos: a profile of her bowing in front of the incense burner at the opening ceremony, a selfie with Fan Binbin during a break in filming, and a solo photo of her standing on the red carpet at the premiere.
Fan Binbin reposted this Weibo post and added two words.
"come on."
Within two hours, all of Chenxi's artists' Weibo accounts reposted the news that "Pacific Rim" had surpassed one billion views.
Hu Jing posted a photo of herself watching a movie in the cinema. In the photo, she is wearing a baseball cap and a mask, sitting in the last row, and the screen shows the scene of the Gipsy Danger throwing a punch.
The caption read: "Must support the boss's movie. A billion is just the beginning."
When Tang Yan reposted the message, she added, "When will Director Fu let me pilot a mecha too?"
Yang Mi's repost was even more direct: "Director Fu, can you include me in your next film?"
Several female fans were arguing and bickering in the comments section, making it as lively as a Chinese New Year celebration.
Qin Lan's Weibo style is the most elegant; she posted a picture of a Pacific Rim poster with a caption.
Congratulations to Director Fu, congratulations to Binbin, and congratulations to all the main creators.
Good works deserve to be seen by more people.
Wang Ou posted three photos from the premiere: one was a photo with Fan Binbin, one was a close-up of a mecha model, and one was a selfie of her making a peace sign in the theater.
The caption read: "The movie was great, the mecha was cool, and Director Fu was awesome."
That evening, Sina Entertainment published a lengthy in-depth report titled "Fu Yibai's Billion-Dollar Secret: Why He Always Wins."
The article analyzes the reasons for the success of "Pacific Rim" from four dimensions: subject matter selection, special effects investment, publicity strategy, and artist management.
The last paragraph reads: "From 'Black Coal, Thin Ice' winning the Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2003, to 'The Hunt' sweeping Cannes in 2007, and now 'Pacific Rim' breaking the 1 billion mark in 20 days..."
Fu Yibai spent six years proving one thing: he wasn't just making movies, he was setting new industry standards for every subject matter.
Once audiences get used to Fu Yibai's film quality, other directors will need to put in much more effort to pass muster.
This is Fu Yibai's contribution to Chinese cinema, and also the pressure he puts on it.
Tencent Entertainment's report focused on the creative team.
The article states: "Fan Binbin is now a rare breed among domestic actresses."
Her commercial value and box office appeal are already comparable to those of top Hollywood actresses.
That evening, CCTV's movie channel broadcast a special documentary about "Pacific Rim" during prime time.
"The path to the industrialization of Chinese cinema is made more solid by works like these."
