0252 【Wow】
"Kung Fu" hit the reef, "The World Without Thieves" sank. In the mainland film market in January 2005, no one's signature was good, except for Wan Xiaohu and his blockbuster "Wanted Order".
After two days of painting, I took 31 million yuan, breaking the historical single-day box office record.
It is hard to get tickets for major theaters across the country. The bosses of major theaters directly arranged the volume of "Wanted Order" for the next week to the highest level, while the bosses of the theaters were even more ruthless. There are many viewers in "Wanted Order", so they naturally have to be placed in the best time period so that they can maximize their interests.
In the end, the "Wanted Order" was equivalent to dominating domestic theaters.
This is not a healthy screening rule, but businessmen are pursuing profits, which is the case in the mainland.
After New Year's Day, the cinema did not cool down and was still popular.
Every day, more than 10 million box office revenues are earned.
The volume of screenings is getting bigger and bigger, and almost no one cares about new films of the same period. Feng Xiaogang's "The World Without Thieves" is fine, after all, it was released a month early, and the impact was only over. Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" was in terrible. It was only two weeks after it was released, but it was hit by the box office dive.
It was originally for the box office of 150 million, but now it has been squeezed by the "Wanted Order" and has barely had a box office of 100 million.
To be honest, Wan Xiaohu likes Stephen Chow very much, this is his idol when he was a student.
It’s just a pity that the Chinese market is so big now that everyone wants to compete for the New Year holiday, and competition between each other is inevitable. The screening and release are discussed and arranged by several companies, and Wan Xiaohu rarely interferes.
But his innocence does not mean that others will believe it.
Especially as the dandelion is about to make a fortune this year, the jealous people can't stand it anymore.
"Who is killing the market order of Chinese films? "Wanted Order" has become a veritable 'film tycoon', and the screening volume has reached as high as 50%! The big director monopolizes the theater chain, where can the newcomers go?"
The Beijing News took the lead in making an article on screening volume, attracting the echoes of many expert media.
"We now say that we want to be market-oriented, and the market also needs a perfect system. There has never been a monopoly screening like China in European and American screenings. From Zhang Yimou's "The Ambush on Ten" to Wan Xiaohu's "Wanted Order", this bad habit will ruin the entire market!" An expert who specializes in film research immediately confronted the media.
"Chinese films are like a patient with tumors. After becoming famous, the director relies on the advantages of screening and sucks blood wildly. They are a cancer of market order and should be eliminated! Radio and television should introduce new policies to ensure the rationality of the screening system!"
"If newcomers don't give a chance to stand out, Chinese movies will not have a chance to stand out, and there are many problems with scheduling films."
Seeing that more people have made their debut, Dandelion is so happy that she is talking. In the mainland, the more she scolds the movies become more and more popular.
Therefore, Dandelion seriously released a response on the official website of mtime Time.com: "Recently, the "Wanted Order" has broken the box office record of Chinese films every day, which has offended many people's interests, and criticized the monopoly of the screening volume of "Wanted Order". In response, our company would like to respond on behalf of the producer and publisher."
First, "The Wanted Order" is the largest Chinese-language film directed by Wan Xiaohu, and has always been the most anticipated Chinese-language film for the audience. The tickets for the first and next day of the release of the films online were pre-sold very early, proving that the audience has a great demand for movie viewing.
Second, "The Wanted Warrant" exceeded 100 million US dollars in ten days in North America, which is a new record for Chinese-language films. At the same time, the global weekly champions for two consecutive weeks have increased the charm of the film.
Third, the accounting sharing model of "Wanted Order" in the mainland is the highest record of 45%. In theory, theaters and theaters occupy an adverse position, but theaters would rather expand the scale of "Wanted Order" than reduce certain movies with huge concessions, which is worth pondering.
Fourth. The strategic positioning of the "Wanted Order" was to achieve overseas box office from the beginning. It did not use any measures such as kickbacks, concessions, public relations, bribery and other means to ensure the number of screenings in the mainland.
In summary, the criticism of the monopoly of the number of films in mainland China, which is a rumor. Everything is a spontaneous behavior of theaters and theaters. Dandelion is a film company with professional ethics, social responsibility, and noble patriotic sentiment. Dandelion signed a contract with director Wan Xiaohu, and is an actor committed to promoting the internationalization of Chinese films. Below is director Wan Xiaohu's personal statement.
"Hello to all those who care about Chinese movies."
The development of Chinese films has always been one of the things that we care about the most. Only when Chinese films grow and grow can Chinese filmmakers get the greatest benefits. Regarding the recent screening volume of "Wanted Order", I personally do not support the behavior of theaters and theaters. As some people said, the screening problem will lead to many disadvantages.
Our country also urgently needs a more reasonable film schedule system to encourage and support newcomers, protect the interests of producers, and provide the greatest protection for the sustainable development of Chinese films.
But we also need to see the current difficulties, that is, the number of people willing to go to the cinema to watch movies is still small. We have a population of 1.3 billion, and the film market in the future will be prosperous, which is indisputable. It will take a long time to get to this point.
The problem is that now, there are fewer viewers, fewer consumption of beverages and snacks in theaters, and they cannot obtain additional profits. It is difficult to maintain high equipment maintenance costs and increasingly high rents by relying solely on ticket prices. Once movie tickets cannot be sold, theaters will suffer huge losses.
This is the fundamental reason why the highest-level accounting of "Wanted Order" is divided by 45%, and the theater still wants to expand the scale of filming. If I don't boast, the theater can have a attendance rate of up to 95%, which will be even higher during prime time. More people buy tickets, the theater will make more money. And even during prime time, a normal movie may not have a attendance rate of 50%.
Those who know how to settle accounts can know at a glance that the theater will choose how to arrange the screening.
So, I think that at the beginning of our film market, we immediately asked for a perfect system, which is unreasonable. What we need to do is two things. One thing is to work together to make the cake bigger and stronger. The more you divide the cake. The second thing is that filmmakers strengthen the quality of the movie. The cruel system will help us eliminate the drought and preserve the essence. When the movie quality is higher, the attractiveness to the audience will gradually increase.
Everyone think about this.
Finally, a plan that was prepared very early was released. In April this year, I talked with Andy Lau about the difficulties of entering the new director in Hong Kong. I decided to establish a "Chinese New Star Director Program" led by Dandelion. The participants are major film companies and filmmakers. Within five years, they will invest 300 million to 500 million to invest in new directors to shoot 100 Chinese-language films.
This plan has received support from many film companies and hundreds of big stars and directors, and is likely to be launched next year, so stay tuned.
"On January 7, 2005, Wan Xiaohu, in Santa Monica."
Dandelion's response and Wan Xiaohu's statement suddenly reversed the direction of the continued high condemnation. More filmmakers began to ponder whether it was the unreasonable damage to Chinese films or the production of a large number of garbage movies, which would have more harm to Chinese films.
There is no doubt that junk movies are inevitable. Hollywood also produces hundreds of junk movies every year, but Hollywood still produces hundreds of good movies every year. Every time it is released, these good movies are enough to be a reason to enter the cinema. The small base of Chinese movies highlights the quality of domestic movies, which is very garbage. In recent years, many viewers have said that they will never watch domestic movies.
You have made such movies increase the number of screenings. You have not only poisoned the theaters, but also poisoned the audience.
Chinese films in the initial stage should need more good movies to drive.
It is rare that the "Wanted Order" can attract audiences. Should we strongly support it and rely on such good blockbusters to reverse the audience's impression of the inferior and ugly domestic movies?
Turning around, coupled with the big Chinese new star director plan, the dandelion was raised from a film dominance to become the savior of Chinese films.
Three to five hundred million, which is almost equivalent to the total box office revenue of the Chinese film market in one year. To support newcomers, it can be imagined that even a 90% failure rate can cultivate at least a dozen new directors. The market is supported by directors, which is of great significance to the promotion of Chinese films.
"The Dandelion is good, the Tiger Master and Andy Lau are good!" Many netizens left messages to support.
That's it, public opinion turned toward dandelions, and box office turned toward "Wanted Order".
From January 7 to 9, 2005, the three-day box office in North America was released again. Audiences in the United States like to watch movies on weekends, and from Friday nights, it is the weekend for them. Therefore, the box office is customary to announce Friday, Saturday, July, and 73 days, and a total box office.
As a commercial film and a special effect blockbuster, the box office trend of "Wanted Order" is destined to be a straight downward trend.
The first weekend was $65.4 million, the second weekend was $38.1 million, and this weekend was only $17.35 million, ranking third after "Meeting the Father-in-law 2" and "Ghost Signal 2: White Light", with a decline of 54%. Of course, this is both acceptable and normal decline.
As of the end of this week, North America has accumulated a total of $157.8 million in box office.
"This year's Christmas dark horse is very good, and "Wanted Order" has allowed the world to see the new fantasy of action movies!"
"Jessica Alba was honored as the cover of "Imperial" magazine and became the new idol of the nation with "Wanted Order".
"The supernova Wan Xiaohu has risen, and the "Wanted Order" swept the world."
mtime Time Network released box office data for the second time on Wednesday.
"The new era of Chinese-language films has exceeded 100 million in nine days, and "Wanted Order" is no longer able to stop anyone. This week's box office is 76 million and the total box office is 107 million yuan, becoming the fastest new record in mainland film history! Is the time to break the 359 million yuan record of "Titanic" coming?"
"South Korea's box office in one week: The cumulative number of viewers of the "Wanted Order" has reached 1.5 million."
"Russia's box office in one week: "Wanted Order" won three consecutive championships!"
"France's weekly box office: The Wanted Order continues to dominate the box office."
"Global weekly box office: "Wanted Order" achieved three consecutive global championships with US$87 million. As of the 9th, the global total box office has reached US$294 million, a new record for the global box office of Chinese films! At the same time, the new records of Chinese films in various regions include: Russia, Britain, Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy..."
"Wow, the hero is so cool when he sways the keyboard. Fu~ck-temptation, this is the effect! I want to watch it again!" (To be continued...)
