Entertainment, I just like making movies

Same as Feng Pants.

Jiang Min was also confused when she saw the first-day box office of "Edge of Tomorrow".

51.8 million!

This is an unmatched and despairing number.

The summer release of "Earthquake" had 35.5 million, and "Edge of Tomorrow" surpassed it by 16.3 million.

Compared with "Let the Bullets Fly", which he himself moved closer to commercial movies and worked hard to create, it was a full 21 million higher!

Awesome!

Jiang Wen sighed and lit another cigarette.

The four people playing mahjong behind them also received the text message, and they all looked at each other in silence.

Judging from the box office on the first day alone, "Let the Bullets Fly", which vowed to become the Lunar New Year champion, failed miserably.

"Edge of Tomorrow" has just begun its road to horizontal promotion, with many satellite TV evening news boosting it. It can be predicted that the next few days will be the days when "Edge of Tomorrow" will really break out.

Fa Ge looked gloomy. After losing his mind about playing cards, he stood up and said goodbye to Jiang Wen.

Liu Jialing and Chen Kun looked at Jiang Wen's tall back and said softly: "Director, let's go back to the room first."

Jiang Wen didn't turn around, but waved his hand gently to show that he understood.

After a while, the room became quiet, and only the lingering smoke told of the excitement just now.

The assistant opened the ventilation and said while cleaning the room: "Director, don't think about it. Go to bed early. It won't work this time. Let's win it back next time."

"Haha, next time!"

Jiang Min smiled, put out the cigarette and walked into the bathroom.

There is no chance this time, and I don’t know when the next time will be.

"Xiao Tang, go book a movie ticket for "Edge of Tomorrow" tomorrow. I want a ticket for the IMAX theater."

"Okay, director, I'll line up early tomorrow morning."

In the bathroom.

The corners of Jiang Min's mouth twitched, the word "queue" was so harsh.

In addition to Feng Pants and Jiang Wen, the two directors who regarded "Edge of Tomorrow" as their rivals, several others were also shocked at this time.

A high-end community in Imperial Capital.

A 'click' sound.

Lu Chuan threw his cell phone in front of the computer desk, his expression twisted, his eyes burning.

Why?

Why was the first-day box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" so high?

Lu Chuan couldn't figure it out and was unwilling to admit it!

Ever since the summer release of "Nanjing Nanjing" was canceled amid a lot of criticism, he has been careless in everything he did in the past six months and suffered bad luck many times.

First, during a quarrel, his girlfriend Qin Lan, who had been accompanying him all the time, left a breakup message and left angrily.

Then the old man at home and the teachers at the film school criticized him for being narrow-minded, aloof and arrogant, and not like a senior.

Then there are the trouble-making media reporters who are everywhere, chasing him all day long and leading the public to attack and abuse him on the Internet.

Finally, he retreated for three months and finally wrote the costume script, but no film and television company was willing to invest in it these days.

Even Wang Zhonglei, a good friend of many years, hesitated and said that he would have to look at Huayi's production budget for next year before he could give him an answer.

In the past six months, he seemed to be plagued by bad luck, and everything was not going well for him.

This is all thanks to Fang Ziheng!

If it weren't for the other party's unprovoked attack on the first day of "Nanking, Nanking", the movie would never have caused such a big controversy, let alone a catastrophic reputation collapse.

The phrase "movies can have no national boundaries, but filmmakers must have national boundaries" completely knocked him out of the clouds and made him a lost dog that everyone wanted to beat!

If it weren't for Fang Ziheng, "Nanjing Nanjing" would have grossed at least 300 million at the box office. He has already become a favorite in the entertainment industry and a guest of major film and television giants.

Why did you end up in such a situation!

As for Fang Ziheng, this piece of shit, after firing the cannon, he acted as if nothing had happened. The movie was a hit, and he was very proud of himself.

He was also promoted to a major commercial film director in one fell swoop!

hehe!

Great commercial director!

Lu Chuan's heart was filled with all sorts of things. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became!

a long time.

Lu Chuan patted his cheek and breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, boundless fighting spirit rose in his eyes, and he stared at the files on the computer screen and murmured to himself: "I have to cheer up. A mere misfortune is just a test before reaching the top, and it will never knock me down! "

"Jiang Wen, Fang Ziheng, just wait, I, Lu Chuan, am no worse than you. Whatever you can do, I can do the same!"

"And those film and television companies that are just like wallflowers, just wait. If you ignore me today, next year I will make it impossible for you to climb up!"

Lu Chuan's eyes widened, and he hypnotized himself while revising the script.

Compared with the many twists and turns in Brother Lu's heart, and finally turning resentment into strength, Wanda Film and Television's Song Ge doesn't have so many inner dramas.

After seeing the box office success of "Edge of Tomorrow" on its first day, Song Ge shouted excitedly and wanted to do some somersaults at home.

Fang Ziheng, the youngest commercial director in Chinese, did not disappoint him.

In the morning at Wanda headquarters, the big boss personally promised Ruo Songge that if "Edge of Tomorrow" really achieves good results, the group will again inject capital into Wanda Film and Television to increase the expansion and support of film and television projects.

Only half a day later, "Edge of Tomorrow" brought him good news.

According to the group's internal strategic plan, starting next year, the group's key overseas project will be cinema film and television, creating the world's first transnational film giant.

The global release of "Edge of Tomorrow" will virtually build a direct bridge for Wanda's overseas travels.

this moment.

Song Ge was extremely lucky that he persuaded the big boss to invest more money in "Edge of Tomorrow" and invested in Fang Ziheng.

As the head of Wanda Film and Television, he has unique insights into movies. The zero-point box office and first-day box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" have already risen, and the mainland market is completely stable.

If good news comes from overseas at noon tomorrow, Wanda Film and Television will take advantage of this shareholder momentum to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry and start investing in film projects on its own.

With the support of Wanda Cinemas, Song Ge is confident that within two to three years, Wanda Film and Television will become a Chinese film giant.

In a cozy and warm bedroom.

Song Ge stood in front of the window, his face flushed and his expression extremely excited.

Fang Ziheng is my noble man!

at the same time.

Employees working the night shift at dozens of domestic entertainment media offices also received the news.

51.8 million!

This data completely shocked all the media!

Fang Ziheng shouting 40 million is bragging.

It doesn't exist, they are being modest!

After each media outlet was shocked, they quickly changed the data of each soft article written on the computer, and then posted it all on the Internet.

"Invincible! "Edge of Tomorrow" grossed 51.8 million on its first day, breaking the first-day box office record in Chinese film history!"

"Irresistible! "Edge of Tomorrow" has exploded in word-of-mouth. It grossed 51.8 million on its first day. It not only broke the first-day box office record in film history, but also raised this record by 16.3 million!"

"With one move, it grossed 51.8 million at the box office on the first day. After "Famous Four" won the summer championship, director Fang Ziheng once again told the world who is the real king of the Lunar New Year movies!"

"Who can stop Fang Ziheng! The movie market is becoming more and more popular. The youngest commercial director has airborne a science fiction blockbuster during the New Year's Day holiday. He easily won the first-day box office championship in 2010, overwhelming other Lunar New Year movies with an absolute height of 51.8 million!"

"51.8 million! The highest in Chinese film history, "Edge of Tomorrow" has completely detonated the Lunar New Year market!"

"See all the small mountains at a glance! "Edge of Tomorrow," the first hard science fiction war movie in China created by the great commercial director Fang Ziheng, topped the history of Chinese-language films with a first-day box office of 51.8 million, eclipsing all movies in the same period!"

One family, two families, three families.

The Internet is abuzz with activity, and there are more and more box office news reports, and the news about "Edge of Tomorrow"'s record-breaking performance is overwhelming.

The media went out of their way to upload high-profile and pretentious soft-text quotations to every corner of the Internet as if they were free of charge.

For entertainment media, money must be made and popularity must be generated.

Everyone likes to see movies break records, and "Edge of Tomorrow" broke records. They can't do it without bragging, they must!

This is a general trend!

This general trend cannot be stopped by ordinary money, and there is no need to stop it.

Fang Ziheng’s home.

The lights are bright and there is laughter.

When they saw the box office on the first day, several beauties raised their glasses together and wished "Edge of Tomorrow" a great success.

After finishing the supper, Liu Qianqian was particularly happy and continued to play mahjong until dawn.

Lin Feifei and Andy are so addicted to mahjong that they accept the invitation to fight without even thinking about it.

Song Yi's hands were itchy now. Before eating supper, she received the power injected by Fang Ziheng in the study, and she would definitely be able to kill everyone.

Zeng Li didn't like staying up late, so he went upstairs to find a room to sleep alone.

Fang Ziheng allowed them to fool around, and with the evening news to help them, there was no need for the film's creators to promote it in the next few days, so the young lady had a lot of free time.

After taking a shower and reading reports on the Internet, Fang Ziheng walked out of the study and listened to the sound of mahjong downstairs.

Then, he quietly opened Zeng Li's room.

The next day.

at noon.

Fang Ziheng and Zeng Li cooked lunch and knocked on the beauties' bedrooms one by one.

dong dong

dong dong

"Get up, the sun is shining on your butt!"

"Get up, get up, get up and eat."

The first one to get up was the ice beauty Andy. She was wearing a black thin silk nightgown, with disheveled hair and a hot and curvy figure. She was extremely beautiful.

"Annoying!"

The ice beauty leaned on the door frame and glared at Fang Ziheng in the corridor, completely unaware of how attractive her figure was.

The second person to get up was Lin Feifei. She received an overseas text message from Deng Wendi. The content of the text message detailed the overseas release of "Edge of Tomorrow".

Liu Qianqian and Song Yi shared a room. After knocking for a long time, the two young ladies fell asleep.

On the table.

Concubine Lin handed the phone to Fang Ziheng, picked up a small steamed bun and said with a smile: "Deng Wendi sent news from the United States. She said that 20th Century Fox has used its maximum energy to finalize 1,900 theaters for the opening of "Edge of Tomorrow". Logged into 3,800 screens at the same time.”

"How much film is scheduled?"

"15%!"

So low!

Fang Ziheng frowned, put down his chopsticks and opened the text message on his phone.

On the screen of the mobile phone, a long list of content and data was displayed, all of which were movies released at the same time as "Edge of Tomorrow".

First place: "Meet the Father-in-law" has been in theaters for two weeks, with a box office of US$25.77 million this weekend, and a total box office of US$102.58 million.

Second place: "True Grit" has been in theaters for two weeks, with a box office of US$24.42 million this weekend, and a total box office of US$86.67 million.

Third place: "Tron" has been in theaters for three weeks, with a box office of US$18.76 million this weekend, and a total box office of US$131.3 million.

Fourth place: "Yogi Bear" has been in theaters for three weeks, with a box office of US$12.39 million this weekend, and a total box office of US$65.76 million.

Fifth place: "The Chronicles of Narnia 3" has been in theaters for four weeks, with a box office of US$10.25 million this weekend and a total box office of US$86.93 million.

In addition, "Gulliver's Travels" will be released for two weeks, "The Fighter" will be released for four weeks, "Black Swan" will be released for five weeks, and "Tangled" and "The King's Speech" will be released for six weeks.

As an outsider in "Edge of Tomorrow", it is not easy to get such a start and schedule under the siege of so many movies.

Deng Wendi did put in a lot of effort, at least using most of Twentieth Century Fox's promotional energy.

No matter how much she did, she wouldn’t be able to break it!

The American film market is very mature, the industry is complete, and the technology is advanced. Going to the cinema to watch movies is not an entertainment activity, but a part of ordinary people's lives.

Of course, a mature market means that the output of movies is stable, or continuous, and will not be released in a cluster.

For example, "Harry Potter 7" was released in November. It was released for 6 weeks and was supported by 4,000 cinemas. It did not encounter any pressure or opposition at first glance.

After lunch, Fang Ziheng, Lin Feifei, and Andy drove to Hengyu Media.

The company still has many things to deal with, and the three of them are the heads of the company, so they cannot afford to be lazy for a day.

It's one o'clock in the afternoon.

The Audi A6 had just driven into the underground parking lot when Lin Feifei's cell phone vibrated suddenly and sounded a pleasant ringtone.

"coming!"

Fang Ziheng secretly thought to himself, quickly found a parking space, parked the car, took off his seat belt and looked behind him.

Lin Feifei's eyes narrowed, she took out her mobile phone, made a cute worship gesture, and then handed it to Fang Ziheng in a ruthless manner.

"Come on, your luck is yours, you can open it!"

Andy was speechless. How could he still believe this?

She grabbed the phone, rolled her eyes, and complained: "What are you afraid of? Americans are just like that. The fact that "Edge of Tomorrow" can be released in their place is to give them face. I don't believe they don't want to eat millions of dollars from China." The mighty momentum of the army!”

A bang!

The phone screen opened. Under the gaze of the two of them, Andy clicked on the text message on the phone.

"How many?"

Two questioning voices sounded at the same time.

Andy's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, the indifference between his eyebrows disappeared, and he said happily: "3.7 million, the first day box office in the United States is 3.7 million US dollars!"

"YES!"

Lin Feifei gave a soft drink, clenched her right fist and slapped her left hand together, feeling extremely excited.

Hengyu Media has made two films in succession, both of which have opened up overseas markets, and are proudly ahead of all domestic film and television companies.

As the deputy director and producer of the company, how could she not be happy?

Fang Ziheng also smiled, read the text message, opened the car door and got out of the car, and slowly lit a cigarette.

"Edge of Tomorrow" certainly lives up to expectations!

$3.7 million!

26 million soft girl coins!

Second only to the first-place "Meet the Father-in-Law", it is tied with "True Grit" for second place in the U.S. single-day box office list.

Beneath "Edge of Tomorrow" are several Hollywood blockbusters.

Although these movies were released for three or four weeks, it is by no means an easy task for a Chinese-language film to overwhelm a number of Hollywood blockbusters on its opening day and reach the runner-up position in the single-day box office list.

It can be predicted that with this first-day box office, Deng Wendi's confidence has greatly increased.

With her actions, 20th Century Fox will definitely mobilize more publicity and distribution resources to strive for a higher number of screens for "Edge of Tomorrow".

"The Big Four" initially grossed US$30 million at the overseas box office on its first day. This was because 20th Century Fox Film Company bought the overseas global rights and therefore fully distributed it globally.

"Edge of Tomorrow" is different. Fox Film Company earns distribution fees, and the copyright is in the hands of Hengyu Media.

If they want to make more money, they can only use more powerful publicity and distribution resources than "4" to promote "Edge of Tomorrow" to a higher level.

As a result, "Edge of Tomorrow"'s U.S. box office opening weekend is worth looking forward to.

Got a cold
