Chapter 221

The box office for the first day was 30 million.

The box office for the second day was 28 million.

The box office for the third day was 30 million.

The box office for the fourth day was 91.01 million.

……

On the seventh day, the daily box office was directly over 100 million!

There was no win-win situation in the world. A literary movie was easy to win awards but the things they wanted to express were usually more obscure. They often used artistic methods, montage techniques, empty lens and other ways to express the director’s profound meaning.

Therefore, no matter how high the world of mouth of a literary movie, it still made less money than a commercial movie.

However, everyone couldn’t believe what Midnight Singing achieved.

After seven days, a total box office of 570 million! It was because the box office for the first two days wasn’t high, leading to this number. Since the seventh day at the box office, Midnight Singing received more than 100 million yuan a day. On the 10th day, it even got a terrifying 190 million!

28 days after the end of the global release period, Midnight Singing perfectly ended with a total box office of 4.1 billion, the second highest grossing literary movie in the world. The first was a movie by a Best Male Actor winner in the last century. It told the story of a poor mountainous region and wasn’t as heroic as Ye Xiangchan.

The people who saw Midnight Singing were full of praise.

Xiao Biqing’s acting was unquestionable. Her interpretation of a singer who had no less noble sentiments than anyone else. In her final torture, her singing and expression touched countless people, making the audience burst into tears.

Ming Yu’s part in the movie wasn’t much. After all, it was a female heroine drama and he was just the male protagonist in name. But once Douban published the audience score and movie review, many critics mentioned Ming Yu’s name with a lot of emotions and admiration.

【 In fact, compared to Xiao Biqing, Ming Yu’s performance is really a lot worse but it reached an average level in this movie. I criticized Ming Yu’s acting two years ago. I thought he was a cancer of the entertainment industry. HIs acting was really empty and boring, containing no soul.

Now I have to admit that Ming Yu made Ye Yang a living person. He is flesh and blood, with a strength that wasn’t defeated by the war. Ye Yang’s character had no name in history. The reason why Midnight Singing gave Ye Xiangchan a younger brother and also gave him the name ‘Yang’ was to hope that this person could spread sunshine… 】

Yes, his acting wasn’t the best but there was definitely progress.

This was the evaluation of Ming Yu by a film critic.

A large number of critics protested when Ming Yu was nominated for Best Newcomer by the Golden Bear Awards. In their hearts, Ming Yu only had a few scenes that could be considered good. How could he be nominated for Best Newcomer?

This dog poop was too strong!

The global box office of An Li was too strong and no good newcomers appeared. How else could Ming Yu be nominated and the movie industry harmed?

This time, their attitudes towards Ming Yu changed once Midnight Singing came out. To be able to improve his acting to this level, as least Ming Yu put a lot of thought into it. They didn’t know that Ming Yu only gained enlightenment during the process of filming An Li.
