Chapter 129 129]
Just after it was released on a small scale, the word-of-mouth of "Lola" jumped up. Even though it has only won 140 million box office results so far, this does not hinder its boundless reputation in terms of word-of-mouth.
Many movie fans have asked for "Lola" to further expand the scope of release, so that they can have a glimpse.
The comprehensive score given to "Lola" by 19 French media has reached 95 points, not to mention the French fan rating website. The number of people who rated this movie is very small, because not many people have watched it, but it is precisely because of the small number of people who rated it. leading to its higher score.
This famous movie review website has not released a movie with such a high rating for many years.
Very few fans leave reviews, mostly long-winded reviews based on movies.Because there are too many things that can be explored in this movie, the director did not give a clear answer to many hidden foreshadowings, leaving these suspense to the audience.
Therefore, on the main page of "Lola", there are a lot of long comments. This method of leaving a lot of analysis and suspense to the audience has advantages and disadvantages.
The most typical example of coexistence of success and failure is probably "Mulholland Drive". This movie is a very classic interpretation of "if the fans are bigger than the director's brains, they will be over-interpreted."
And the suspense in "Lola" is kept just right, which arouses people's desire and desire to discuss.
After a week of small-scale screenings, Luc Besson decided to further spread "Lola" for release.
For a film with such an excellent reputation, it is also expected that it will be released.
For a while, "Lola" will be screened simultaneously in 1000 theaters across France, and many movie fans are rejoicing, because they can finally watch "Lola" within a convenient range!
"Lola" also jumped from the bottom of the 21st place to the 7th place.
European local films released at the same time and ranked ahead of Joey are basically films by some European local directors who are loved by the French people, such as "Violent Street 13", "Illegal Entry", "The Pillow Men" and so on.
Many fans who only pay attention to Hollywood may not have even heard of these movies, but they are basically shot by famous European directors, and they do not make global releases at all.
Pierre, the director of "Violent Neighborhood 13", who had previously expressed disapproval of Joey's remarks, felt that he had been slapped in the face at the moment, but fortunately his film was still far ahead of the box office and ranked first. I saved a little face...
In the second week of its release, "Lola" won a total of 890 million box office, ranking seventh. At this time, "Violent Street 13" was the first, "Illegal Entry" was the second, and "The Man on the Pillow" was the third.
But the good word-of-mouth of "Lola" is spreading rapidly.Those movie fans who had no interest in Joey, after everyone praised the movie very highly, actually became a little bit interested and went to watch "Lola" one after another.
The box office performance of "Lola" once ran ahead at the fastest speed on the entire list.
In the third week, "Lola" earned 580 million yuan, with a cumulative box office of 990 million yuan, ranking fifth.
In the fourth week, the cumulative box office of "Lola" reached 1520 million, ranking No.
Four.
In the fifth week, the cumulative box office of "Lola" reached 2060 million, ranking third.
At this time, "Lola" seems to have no rivals. The only enemies are "Violent Street 4312" and "Illegal Entry", which ranked first with a cumulative box office of 13 million.
However, what surprised the French film industry the most was not only the rapid growth of the box office of "Lola", but also that it had only 13% of the film schedule at the beginning, and now it has risen to nearly 40% of the film schedule!
It is equally as good as "Violent Street 13" and "Illegal Entry". How is this done? After all, "Street of Violence 13" paves the way for the good reputation of its predecessor "Street of Violence", "Illegal Entry" is also the latest masterpiece of a famous director, and "Lola" has already rushed to the third position of French local movies in this period by itself !
As "Lola" continued to rush forward unabated, all circles of the French film cast surprised eyes on this water-testing work of Joy.
[This week's Paris box office, "Lola" reached the top]
[Break 2000 million in four weeks, "Lola" is going to counterattack]
【"Lola" achieved success at the French box office】
"Lola, which has been in theaters for 6 weeks, is still at the box office. It has raked in more than 3000 million box office across France, and it is about to catch up with "Violent Street 13" and "Illegal Entry". I don't know what Pierre is doing at the moment How do you feel?"
"Joy Grant's new work has a classic and authentic European style. I don't know when, this genius director actually learned the pan-European philosophy that is so literary and artistic in Europe?"
"It seems that even if Joey Grant arrives in France, his miracle momentum remains unabated."
France's largest film weekly, "French Film Weekly", gave a profile of Joey as the cover this week.
It is matched with the title - [Reborn Hollywood Director]
Then, the seventh week, the eighth week.
"Lola" finally ended with a box office score of 3900 million, ranking third in this period of French local movies.
It is also temporarily ranked No.5 at the box office of French local movies this year.
Although the box office of "Lola" did not surpass "Violent Street" and "Illegal Entry" in the end, and it did not create a miracle box office on the annual box office list, it was because the subject matter of "Lola" was still very small, and those themes were more popular. His own commercial nature is incomparable.
It is already a miracle that "Lola" can achieve this achievement relying on today's themes.
Although the box office is not considered a counterattack due to the limitations of the subject matter and audience, but in terms of word of mouth, "Lola" is definitely considered a counterattack.
The rave reviews have proved Joy's ability. If she decides to shoot a more mainstream movie next time, she will definitely achieve a more counterattack box office result.
Not only movie fans and the media, but many French film critics who are known for their harshness also stood up and expressed their thoughts on "Lola".
Dorrance, a famous French film critic, said: "I think Dalenovsky's comment is very good, completely reborn."
Famous French filmmaker MacDonalds said: "It is indeed completely reborn. Compared with Joy's previous films, it is almost...not like being filmed by one person. I mean the style. This time her style is completely European, very thorough. .”
Darunowski also spoke again, "I used to like a certain director, and I always said I liked his style, but from now on, I like a certain director, I will not say that, I will say that I like her It is because of her changeable style!"
In the end, the box office of "Lola" was fixed at 3900 million. This is not the highest-grossing local film in France this year, because the audience for literary films is limited after all, but it is a very good box office result for literary films.In terms of cost, it has doubled several times.
At this time, the media, film critics, and movie fans far away in Hollywood are also eager to watch this movie, but "Lola" has not been released globally, because even if this movie is released in Hollywood, it will not meet the needs of most people. of aesthetic.If American movie fans want to watch it, they can only go through the future online theaters.
Far away in Hollywood, the resentment of those movie fans seemed to be able to pass through the screen, "Ahhh, why isn't "Lola" released in the United States, I really want to watch it, but there are no resources on the Internet."
"When will NEX (American Network Theater) introduce "Lola"!"
"I'm looking forward to the combination of Eva Green and Joey. I'm obsessed with the poster!"
"Okay, when will Joey come back? How long will he stay in Europe?"
At the moment, Joey and Tom are lying in a holiday villa on the beach of Santa Margarita Island.
Tom had just finished filming "The Spy". When he returned to Cannes, he saw "Lola" was released. He was lucky enough to go to the cinema to watch this movie.
Wearing a pair of black sunshade sunglasses, a short-sleeved floral shirt and a pair of beach pants, he took a glass of cool coconut juice and handed it to Joey, "Fortunately, even if I return to Cannes after the trip, I won't be able to watch "Lola" .”
Joy was wearing a loose skirt, lying comfortably on a deck chair, wearing a big straw hat and looking at the blue sea in the distance, "How does it feel? I said "Lola"."
Tom curled his lips in self-deprecating manner, "I didn't expect that one day, a Hollywood director would ask me, a sucker, about her movie."
Joey turned his head and looked at his side face shining in the sun, "I'm different from those directors. I always thought you had great vision and acting skills."
Tom didn't answer. In fact, he didn't care about other people's comments. At his age and position, he didn't care about those comments and other people's opinions.
He suddenly changed the subject, "Now you have achieved something in France."
Joey interrupted him, "Wait, please don't flatter me thank you, I'm still far from getting good grades."
Tom raised the corners of his mouth, frowned slightly at the end of his eyes, and gave a suave smile, "Then what do you think of yourself?"
"I'm still far from being qualified to break into the European market." Joey murmured: "At present, it can only be said that it has successfully tested the waters, but "Lola" is far from being called a classic in the European literary film market. , There is still a long way to go from the influence of European classics such as "The Pianist on the Sea", "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", "Amélie", "Rodin's Lover", "La Vie en Rose" and so on."
Tom looked at Joey carefully and again, with a slightly surprised tone, "I didn't expect your ambition to be so big? You mean you want to make a European literary film with great influence?"
Joey admitted with some embarrassment, "No, I want to become a master of European literary films with great influence..."
