Chapter 189: The market breaks through 150 million
"New Longmen Inn, 94 million;"
“…hasn’t it exceeded 100 million?”
He has always been very sorry that the single-day box office of "The Lion King Battle" failed to exceed 100 million. The single-day box office of "Transformers 3" reached 120 million, directly increasing the highest single-day box office record in mainland China by nearly 30 million!
As a mainland filmmaker, Xu Hui has always hoped that he could maintain all box office records.
On the 17th, it was the first Saturday of "New Dragon Gate" and today's box office will definitely be the highest box office of this movie.
I can't break through 100 million, I guess I won't know it anymore...
“…It’s 92 million, what else do you want?”
Chen Farong put down her phone and couldn't help but ask back.
"Of course I want to have 100 million or 200 million!"
Paohui opened the hotel refrigerator, took two bottles of drinks, and handed them to Chen Farong and Wan Qian.
"…200 million? You're pretty!
"What? Don't you believe it? In two years, my movie will definitely exceed 200 million in a single-day box office!"
“…The Flowers of War, 49.19 million;”
Chen Farong ignored Xu Hui. In her opinion, what Xu Hui was talking about was simply dreaming.
"46 million? Old Taoist is quite powerful!"
Xu Hui calculated that it was released on Thursday, with 1900 plus 3200 plus 4600 plus 97 million, which is already 97 million, and it is definitely over 100 million on the first weekend.
Judging from the reputation of this market, "The Flowers of War" is likely to end up with a box office of 600 million!
"By the way, today's market has 150 million, setting a new box office high in mainland China."
...
In December 2011, the Film Bureau released detailed data on mainland theaters, with a total of 12,000 screens.
According to this data, the maximum box office in a single day can reach 360 million, which means the 100% attendance rate...
Of course this is impossible. There is a very magical data: the attendance rate of Golden Field Cinemas is generally around 30%. No matter how big the theater is, unless there are any movies that the whole nation expects to be launched.
Therefore, the 150 million market data is almost close to the upper limit of the single-day market.
‘Is it "New Longmen Inn" or "The Flowers of War"?’
Several portals surveyed the entire portal for these two movies.
Fifty percent chose "New Dragon Gate", 30 percent chose "The Flowers of War" and the rest were selected for both.
There are no particularly bad movies that Xu Hui has made in recent years. There are only two movies with Douban scores below 8 points. "The Lion King's Battle" and "The Lion King's Battle" are also "The Lion King's Battle" because the public intellectuals lead the rhythm, while "The Embroidered Spring Sword" is because his first movie, editing and rhythm problems. More importantly, there are a group of natural black fans...
To be honest, the story of "New Dragon Inn" may not be very clever. Xu Hui himself admitted that the old bottles and new clothes are used. The structure of the story, including contradictions and conflicts, copied the "Long Gate Inn" directed by Hu Jinquan, which is far inferior to the "Huang Feihong" series in terms of structure.
However, the story of "New Dragon Gate" is very complete, without any delay, and the actors acted very well, with a bright rhythm and sharp movements, especially the baby came out of the sand and cut the mess and removed the flesh on Chen Kun's legs, which was jaw-dropping!
Many viewers think that this shot alone is worth the ticket price!
This is China's first 3D martial arts movie with a complete plot and very good special effects.
Movie fans are not fools. They know that Xu Hui must have experienced a lot of hardships. They are very sure that "New Dragon Gate" promotes the local film industry. In addition, the plot is good, it is understandable that the box office crushes "The Flowers of War"!
‘Although "The Flowers of War" is also good, 10 years later, Chinese movies are definitely the more stellar in the history of Chinese films, because of its 3D, and it is definitely the founder of Chinese 3D movies! What I admire most about Xu Hui is always seeking change. Although he is still good at martial arts, his ability to tell stories has never been abandoned! One era has its own product, and one era has its own representative figure. No Hong Kong and Taiwan artists call themselves an artist. This attitude is very good. The so-called master is also respected by others in China. He was called Xingzai at that time! If I remember correctly, Zhang Yimou is the national teacher, what about Xu Hui?’ We have always called him Xu Hui!
There is a comment online that expresses the voices of many viewers.
'In the year when filming "Hero", Zhang Yimouzi said a typical saying: The so-called movie, what can you remember when talking about that movie decades later? It's just a few shots. What I pursue is these shots. This is what he said. This is the master's insight, the insight of movies! This is what the person who takes photos said, not movies, where did the actors and screenwriters contribute? He was a photographer back then, and his insight was still a photographer, and the picture was his pursuit, not a movie!'
With its reputation online, Paohui instantly killed Zhang Yimou!
News came: "The Flowers of War" was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film!
Zhang Weipin is excited!
That night, I bought the headlines of Zhalang Weibo and read out my acceptance speech... No, it is a thank you word: "The Flowers of War" is an international cooperation involving more than 600 people from 24 countries and more than 600 people. We sincerely thank them for their contributions. We are very grateful to the Hollywood Foreign Media Association for its recognition from many films in the world. This is a real honor for every one of our participants...
...
This is a very suitable opportunity!
"New Longmen Inn" suppressed "The Flowers of War" in the mainland market and couldn't raise his head. Zhang Weipin was so angry that he had no place to vent.
With such a large investment, it seems that the possibility of expecting box office recovery costs is almost zero!
But Huiwen Tianxia controls the Internet and hangs the daily box office on a bunch of portals every day.
No. 15: 62 million: 19 million;
No. 16: 72 million: 40 million;
No. 17: 92 million: 46 million;
Show off naked!
Heartbroken, old man!
I have to say that this is a forced shot. At least those American fans who are preparing to hack "The Flowers of War" decided to let him go. Nonsense, if they hack "The Flowers of War" and aren't they saying that their American father has no vision?
There are many discussions online:
"The Flowers of Jinling was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 69th Golden Globe Awards! Are you all the tricks that are shadying my family's tricks?"
"Come on, "The Promise" was also nominated back then!"
"Zhang Yimou should make a movie for himself. It is a humiliation to the movie itself for the sake of awards and audience fun!"
"I'm the only one who noticed that it was Zhang Weipin who was the first to express his gratitude?"
...
"Xu Hui, do we need to do something?"
"There is no need... The Golden Globe Award cannot represent the Oscars, and "The Flowers of War" cannot win the award!"
"But if the new screen uses this to make a big deal, we will be very passive!"
"…What's there to be passive? Isn't it just the Golden Globe Award? I've also won the nomination!"
Huang Wen on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, yes, Paohui was also a nominee for the Golden Globe Award.
“Why does the publicity strategy remain unchanged?”
"…You contact Disney and ask them about the North American distribution of "The Flowers of War" by the way, have you contacted Chen Ting?"
"…You just gave a name, how could we be that fast?"
"Didn't I say that, Zhang Yimou's remarried wife lives in Hangzhou, used to be an actor from Wu*xi Dance Academy..."
Chapter completed!
