Entertainment, I just like making movies

Chapter 208 Two consecutive championships, making news now

Online, movie fans are still partying.

Although they are happy, these guys are even worse.

I pulled out the weekly box office data of other movies released in the mainland during the same period and put them under "Edge of Tomorrow" for comparison.

January 3-9, 2011.

"Let the Bullets Fly" was released for 30 days, with a weekly box office of 23.1 million and a total box office of 582 million.

Compared with the previous life, it was a full 30 million less, which shows how fierce "Edge of Tomorrow" is.

"If You Are the One 2" was released for 16 days, with a weekly box office of 36.2 million and a total box office of 363 million.

This movie is even worse. The previous movie had exceeded 400 million in 16 days of release, and now it is still close to 40 million short.

"The Chronicles of Narnia 3", a Hollywood imported blockbuster, grossed 22.1 million in three days of release, which was half the box office of the previous generation.

In addition to the above three slightly better movies, there are five other movies that were overwhelmed by "Edge of Tomorrow".

"Midnight Heartbeat" was released for 17 days, with a weekly box office of 3.05 million and a total box office of 24.5 million.

"With You Along the Way" was released for 18 days, with a weekly box office of 200, and a total box office of 5.8 million.

"Lover's Whispers" was released for 10 days, with a weekly box office of 1.2 million and a total box office of 3.6 million.

"Previous" was released for 11 days, with a weekly box office of 1.1 million and a total box office of 2.95 million.

"Kidnapping Ice Cream" was released for 10 days, with a weekly box office of 1 million and a total box office of 2.5 million.

At the bottom of the list is "The Orphan of Zhao", which was released for 36 days, with a weekly box office of 600,000 and a total box office of 196 million.

Of the eight films, the last five were least affected.

The reason why "The Orphan of Zhao" has only been released for a few days is that its potential has been exhausted long ago, and other movies are inherently weak.

Only "Let the Bullets Fly", "You Are the One 2", and "The Chronicles of Narnia 3" suffered serious losses, and "Edge of Tomorrow" together robbed them of nearly 100 million in box office revenue.

The two box office data were directly posted by movie fans on Weibo, and the verdict was drawn between "Edge of Tomorrow" and other movies.

While the public marveled at Fang Ziheng's awesomeness, they couldn't help but complain that other movies were weak.

Too impatient to fuck!

As time went by, Hengyu, China Film and Bona did not need too much publicity. Fans took the initiative and spontaneously participated in the promotion of "Edge of Tomorrow", making it crazy for their friends and friends who had not seen the movie.

The film's creators were divided into two under Fang Ziheng's instructions. Liu Ye and Liu Qianqian each led a team and traveled through all first- and second-tier cities in the country as soon as possible.

Fang Ziheng rarely has a leisurely time. He lies at home every morning and watches the box office growth and news reports. In the afternoon, he goes to the company to sit for a while, and then accepts exclusive interviews from media, magazines, and TV stations in the office.

At the same time, many entertainment media seized the opportunity and kept following and interviewing Jiang Wei, Feng Pengtong and Chen Daren.

Vow to dig out bigger news breaking points!

Jiang Min was quite easy to talk to, saying that she had watched "Edge of Tomorrow" seriously, and that it was worthy of being called a commercial science fiction blockbuster. Congratulations to Fang Ziheng for achieving such an achievement.

Feng Pengteng and Chen Daren were a bit amused. In addition to congratulating each other in their first interview with reporters, they bluntly said that their movie is not in the same genre as "Edge of Tomorrow" and there is no comparison at all.

Originally, the two people were right. "If You Are the One 2" is a comedy and "The Orphan of Zhao" is a costume blockbuster, but they are indeed not the same subject as "Edge of Tomorrow".

But the reporters were so bad that they caught the two of them and asked them questions.

Feng Peng was stopped here and said that "Detective Chinatown" is also a comedy. It has a box office of more than 600 million, but why "If You Are the One 2", which is also a comedy, did not have 400 million.

Over there, Daren Chen said that "Four Famous Catchers" is also in the scope of costume themes. It grossed 800 million in the summer release, while "The Orphan of Zhao" was less than 200 million.

Good guy!

This made the two great directors angry.

They can't say that their movie is bad, they really can't beat it, and they can't jump out and step on Fang Ziheng. After all, "Edge of Tomorrow" is too scary and is currently in theaters.

These people who were forced into the corner stopped playing and turned over the table.

These people caught a few reporters who were causing trouble and scolded them, scolding them for taking medicine if they were sick, going to the hospital for examination if they were not sick, and not trying to make big news every day.

Chen Daren was even more stunned, his face darkened, he stepped in front of the reporter and looked at him.

The reporter felt chilled when he saw it, fearing that he would be slapped by a loudmouth.

In the minds of reporters, Lao Chen's majesty was more than a little bit stronger than that of Feng Pants.

Not many reporters dare to provoke Chen Daren head-on!

………

the second week.

January 10th - 17th!

"Edge of Tomorrow" continues to be a hit, and in seven days on the mainland, it once again won 312 million soft sister coins.

It was released in the mainland for 14 days, with a total box office of 669 million.

The North American market was slightly less than the first week, with US$45.2 million beating out "The Green Hornet" which made US$3,400.

Then came "The Cheating Dilemma", which won the third place in the North American market with US$17.42 million.

There is a big difference between Asian countries and European countries. The box office is stable, neither high nor low, with a total of 16.8 million US dollars.

After all box offices were combined, the global weekly box office once again exceeded 100 million, with a total of 102.0 million US dollars.

$102 million!

Second week, consecutive championships!

"Edge of Tomorrow" continues to top the global weekly box office following its first week.

The total global box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" also exceeded US$200 million in one fell swoop, reaching an absolute height of US$219 million.

"The Orphan of Zhao" was released this week, with a total box office of less than RMB 200 million. It is said that Chen Da's popularity hit the table.

"Let the Bullets Fly" was released for 37 days and finally broke the shackles, with the total box office reaching 600 million.

Emperor's boss, Yang Cheng, was as happy as a child. He flew to the imperial capital early in the morning to discuss with Jiang Min where to hold a celebration banquet.

If you say "If You Are the One 2" is that the movie itself is not strong, and it was wantonly bullied by "Edge of Tomorrow" without a fight.

"Let the Bullets Fly" is just unlucky, there are so many unlucky ones.

It was obviously a top-level movie, but it failed to earn enough box office in the first half of the month because of insufficient initial publicity.

In the second half of the month, it could have relied on word-of-mouth to survive, but it ended up crashing into "Edge of Tomorrow", which robbed it of tens of millions in box office, delaying its efforts to break through 600 million.

In the previous life, "Let the Bullets Fly" had a total box office of 670 million.

This time I bumped into a big sea shark. It is estimated that the price will be at least 50 million less when I draw it, and at most 610 million.

Jiang Wen also breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be great if it could exceed 600 million. The movie was released for 37 days and the potential was exhausted. He didn't dare to ask for anything else.

So far, in the 2011 Lunar New Year season, except for "Edge of Tomorrow" which continues to be popular, other movies have been completely dragged down.

January 17th night!

"Edge of Tomorrow" was featured on CCTV's news package, occupying nearly two minutes of coverage.

Countless people among the 1.4 billion people across the country saw this report on television.

Inside the TV, a dignified and elegant host sat behind the live broadcast station, speaking steadily with a hint of joy.

"Recently, the sci-fi war blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow" directed by my country's famous young director Fang Ziheng is currently in theaters around the world. It has won the global weekly box office championship for two weeks, with a total box office of US$219 million. This magnificent film not only promotes our country. .”

As the host introduced the movie, the TV screen flashed, and the voices of Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, Fang Ziheng, Deng Chao, Hu Jun and others appeared.

The first scene was the most shocking. Liu Ye stood in front of tens of millions of soldiers, raised his hands and shouted loudly, "Long live the Chinese People's Liberation Army." ’

The second scene is the most decisive. Under the Oriental Pearl Tower, Fang Ziheng carries Liu Qianqian on his back and rushes towards countless aliens resolutely.

The third act is the most tragic. Deng Chao, Hu Jun, and Zhang Yi fight against thousands of troops alone, holding weapons and shooting wildly. Aliens are everywhere.

The fourth act was the most touching. The transport plane was bombed and the soldiers on the plane jumped off the Yangtze River without hesitation without parachutes, looking for the aliens' mobile energy fortress.

The four scenes bring endless shock to those who have never seen the movie, and also make those who have seen the movie excited and shouting that it is awesome.

The two-minute news report not only brought "Edge of Tomorrow" to a new level, but also poured oil on the movie, making the already popular movie even more popular.

7:20 p.m.

Before the CCTV news was finished, the Internet became lively again.

"Here we go, "Edge of Tomorrow" first topped the global weekly box office for two weeks, and now it's on CCTV News. This is so awesome!"

"It's really awesome. It's gaining momentum. With US$219 million, it will definitely surpass "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" after tonight."

"Haha, hundreds of millions of foreigners watch our Chinese movies and watch Chinese soldiers save the world. It's so cool!"

"Nah, Fang Ziheng, with the addition of "The Four" and "Edge of Tomorrow," is probably not going to become a major international director. Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, and Deng Chao are unlikely to be able to step into Hollywood just by relying on movies."

"Hehe, anyway, my family Sissi is on a stable path. She can advance and retreat. She has two globally popular movie heroines. The real box office is a hundred times better than those international stars who are on the red carpet at foreign film festivals. , a thousand times!”

"Yo yo yo, your Sissi, draw your sword, one of us will fall today."

"Keep working hard, it's best to knock down "Avatar" and regain the box office championship in mainland film history that belongs to us Chinese."

"Tell me, if "Avatar" is really released, will Fang Ziheng be considered the number one commercial director in China?"

"Emm, isn't it now?"

"Also ask, if Fang Ziheng is not Fang Ziheng, who is the number one commercial director in China?"

"As long as the Imperial Master comes out, I would like to call Fang Ziheng the number one!"

Fang Ziheng's home, on the sofa in the living room.

Liu Qianqian lay in his arms with a contented look on her face, too lazy to move anything.

She just got off the plane this evening. After finishing her domestic movie promotion, she left her assistant behind and came directly here.

In the past half month, Liu Qianqian's fame, status and commercial value have been increasing day by day. Whether it is the limelight or the celebrity status, she has officially surpassed the four major celebrities, and has been regarded as the number one female star in domestic entertainment by the good media.

Even Queen Gong and Queen Zhang had to give in three points.

International luxury brands, three major brands, LV, Chanel, and Tissot, directly invite young ladies to be their spokespersons in Greater China.

In Asia, the four major products of King Luk Fook Jewelry, Bosideng, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and Sina Weibo have invited young ladies to be their global spokespersons.

Coupled with the products she endorses, the young lady is highly recommended by major brands and is a true fashion leader.

Fans were also very happy, and they went to her Weibo to make noises and blow rainbow farts.

Whether it is to enter Hollywood, to go abroad, or to rush to the international market, waves of high hats are placed on the heads of young ladies.

However, the young lady is not very good at playing games, especially PC games. Let her represent PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds because of her heroic appearance in "Edge of Tomorrow".

"Sissi, has your new computer been installed?"

Fang Ziheng put his right hand on her slender waist and rubbed it, pressed the remote control with his left hand, and asked while adjusting the channel.

"It's installed. Xiaonan tried it and it works very well."

"Okay, tomorrow you and Brother Chao, Chen He, and Da Tiantian will team up and play some PUBG."

"OK."

Liu Qianqian hummed slightly, her eyes half-squinted, looking a little listless.

The two of them were not talking, just hugging each other and watching TV together.

On the LCD TV, the finale of "My Love from the Star" was playing.

Watch and watch.

The young lady yawned twice in succession.

"tired."

"Um."

The young lady's eyes were blurred and she hit his chest with her head.

Fang Ziheng smiled, let her put her arms around his neck, and hugged her sideways.

"Then let's stop looking and go upstairs."

"No, I will be bullied by you if I go up there!"

The young lady muttered with pink lips, a look of reluctance on her face.

However, she said no, but her body was very honest, and she obediently stretched out her arms to wrap around Fang Ziheng.

Snapped!

Fang Ziheng slapped her buttocks and said speechlessly: "What are you thinking about? I mean to go upstairs and give you a massage."

"Really?" The young lady was stunned and asked pitifully.

"Of course it's true. When did I lie to you, Sissi?"

Fang Ziheng was drunk. The young lady came to visit his aunt today. Even if he was in a hurry, he wouldn't mess around at this time.

January 20th.

Fang Ziheng boarded a plane from the Imperial Capital with the leading actors of "Edge of Tomorrow" and flew to the United States to promote the film.

Also traveling with him was Andy, the vice president of Hengyu Media.

This time, in addition to promoting movies, Hengyu also had a purpose of developing several B-level Hollywood movies.

In July last year, Andy went to the United States with the creators of "The Big Four" to promote the film, and under Fang Ziheng's instructions, they acquired a small film company.

This time, he just went over to test the waters and try the depths of Hollywood.

The 21st.

The group arrived at Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, and Yu Dong, who had never returned to China, came to greet them.

In front of a black Lincoln luxury car, Yu Dong laughed heartily. He stepped forward and opened his mouth and hands: "Haha, Director Fang, I finally waited for you to come."

"Thank you for your hard work, Dong!"

Fang Ziheng and Yu Dong embraced each other warmly. It was indeed a blessing to meet an old friend in a foreign country.

After exchanging a few words, everyone got in the car.

Yu Dong was in a good mood and briefly talked about Bona stocks. Then he changed the topic and said with a smile: "Director Fang, Ms. Deng Wendi has been looking forward to your coming. She held a dinner party to connect you with the creator of "Edge of Tomorrow" Dust off.”

"Oh, there's Ms. Lao Deng." Fang Ziheng smiled and nodded without saying anything more.

He could tell that Yu Dong and Deng Wendi had come together since Bona accepted News Corporation's shareholding.

Bona US stocks have also become a boost for Deng Wendi at 20th Century Fox.

Today, when Yu Dong came to greet him, it was more than just a simple thank you. There must be other things hidden behind it.

It's hard to say that Yu Dong is one of Deng Wendi's guests!

You know, the copyright of "Edge of Tomorrow" is still in his hands.

Fang Ziheng has reason to believe that Deng Wendi is targeting the overseas peripheral rights and DVD home theater rights of "Edge of Tomorrow".
