Chapter 344 Cheng Long Yang Mi Cheng Long Li Lianjie Liu Yifei (1, Double Monthly Ticket Guaranteed!)

Chapter 344 Cheng Long + Yang Mi>> Cheng Long + Li Lianjie + Liu Yifei (1, double monthly tickets guaranteed!)

According to the data in the film and television library, the word-of-mouth score of the original time and space of "Avatar" is higher. Now the score is low, which may be the fault of "Inception".

Although the 3D effect is not as good as the other, the plot and imagination of "Inception" are not false, especially the plot.

As the only two super 3D blockbusters in the world, they are inevitably compared. Under the background of "Inception", the 3D effect of "Avatar" is not so amazing, and the plot is widely criticized.

However, because "Inception" developed the 3D market, the North American first week and even the global first week box office of "Avatar" have greatly increased compared with the original time and space. Before it was released in the mainland, the global first week box office exceeded 400 million US dollars, setting a new record in film history.

Han Sanping was also concerned about the box office of "Avatar" in his office. He was very conflicted. He hoped that this movie would be a big hit in the mainland and increase the total box office next year, so that the mainland box office would exceed the 10 billion mark. This year, there would be no hope.

At the same time, he did not want "Avatar" to break the box office myth of "Inception", not limited to the mainland box office, but also the global box office. He hoped that Wang Quan's godhood would be stronger, and it would be best if he could lead Chinese-language films and Chinese-language filmmakers to the world.

However, it seems that the overseas market performance of "Avatar" is not a little better than that of "Inception". The appeal accumulated by Cameron for decades is not something that Wang Quan can match in a short period of time.

So Han Sanping had a second dilemma. It would be great for Wang Quan to stay in Hollywood and strive to surpass Cameron and become the world's number one director, but it would be a great thing for the mainland film and television industry if he wanted to return to China to shoot Chinese-language films, but it would be difficult for the international status to improve.

Damn, this kid is really bold!

Turning his attention back to China, Han Sanping finally felt relieved when he saw the rising box office of Crazy Racing.

If Wang Quan's growth and rise had little to do with him, then Ning Hao was cultivated by him. He had his shadow behind all three of his theatrical movies. He was the man behind him, and he was the mainland version of Wang Quan.

Now the movie has only been released for seven days. With the strong word-of-mouth effect, the box office of Crazy Racing has officially exceeded 100 million!

Ning Hao is only 32 years old, six years younger than Lu Chuan. He is definitely a young talent in the director industry, a rising sun, and a bud in the film and television industry.

With the reputation and momentum of Racing, it is no problem for the box office to exceed Jinling! Jinling! Moreover, the cost of making the movie is only 10 million, which is a bloody business.

It seems that Ning Hao is more worthy of cultivation than Lu Chuan. The organization should give him more responsibilities. He can definitely jump out of comedy and shoot more grand themes. Unfortunately, "Wolf Totem" has been confirmed to be directed by French director Jean-Jacques Annaud. I have to talk to Xiao Ning about the new film plan later. I have to speed up.

In 2006, Wang Quan also made a big splash. He has released eight films and almost finished two more. Ning Hao has only three. It's not good!

Ning Hao is very satisfied now. It has exceeded 100 million in seven days, which has exceeded his expectations. Even if it is completely squeezed out by "The Chinese Zodiac" and "Avatar", he has not lost anything.

Today, "The Chinese Zodiac" was released, and he specially asked Huang Bo's wife to go to the cinema to watch it. Of course, his wife and Huang Bo were there.

Now Huang Bo has awards and box office, and he is very proud. When he goes to the cinema, he has to be fully armed for fear of being recognized.

When the two chatted, Ning Hao learned that Huang Bo had so many scripts that he couldn't read them all. They were all male protagonists, and they happened only in the past few days. He looked sincere and didn't seem to be bragging.

After winning the Best Actor Award in Berlin, Huang Bo also took supporting roles in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Fist of Fury: Chen Zhen", but there will be fewer such opportunities in the future. Apart from guest appearances, only big directors like Wang Quan and Ning Hao can let him play supporting roles.

Ning Hao was a little envious. Actors are good. They just have to wait for others to hand over scripts for selection, while he is a director and has to set up the stage and perform. But what will he shoot next? The Crazy series? He felt that he had no future. If Quan Er knew about it, he would laugh at him.

The Lunar New Year period is lively. The cinema is like the New Year. There are three guns, racing, the twelve Chinese zodiac signs, and the upcoming Avatar. The audience also has enough choices. In previous years, there were often only one movie to watch in the cinema at the same time.

Among them, "The Chinese Zodiac" has the most momentum, and it has the slogan of the last super blockbuster in 2009. They also saw that the next hall was full of young men and women, and they also carried banners of Yang Mi's fan club. Wow.

Then the movie officially started, and the audience was full. There is no doubt that Wang Quan's script rhythm is always very good, with laughter, anger and scolding, which is particularly smooth, and it also adds family and country feelings.

In addition to Cheng Long's usual action style, this movie also adds more big scenes. The part of climbing the Dubai Tower is even more amazing. Looking at the last Cheng Long's live footage, it is not a special effect. He really climbed up the Dubai Tower to shoot. Even with wires, he is still an old man in his fifties!

And there are more thrilling scenes. Wang Quan has retained Cheng Long's kung fu comedy elements while adding more Hollywood commercial blockbuster elements to make it more international.

This movie also has a lot of dialogue in English, and a small part in French. Of course, it is mainly in Chinese, and the leading actors are all Chinese.

Cheng Long is the absolute core, the heroine Yang Mi is pretty, the second male Xiao Ming is responsible for being handsome and scheming, and the second female Zhang Zilin is the most impressive.

Although she has no kung fu foundation, she has excellent physical fitness, plus her long legs, and has completed many eye-catching performances.

Walking out of the screening room, Ning Hao and Huang Bo looked at each other. It is impossible to expect the reputation of "The Chinese Zodiac" to be poor, so that "Crazy Racing" can counterattack all the way. The quality of the other party is so strong that they can only fight hard.

The next day, Maoyan updated yesterday's box office data. Although it was a weekday, Chinese people are now keen on celebrating foreign holidays. Yesterday was Christmas Eve, also known as the day when the first girl disappears. Many people would symbolically watch a movie before opening a room to show that they are not so impatient, so the overall box office yesterday Thursday was 30% higher than Wednesday.

And the first day of the release of "The Chinese Zodiac" was undoubtedly the best performer, with a single-day box office of 42 million, which doubled last year's "The Forbidden Kingdom"!

"Crazy Racing" also withstood the heavy pressure, and the single-day box office received another 11 million.

Although the reputation of "Zodiac" is slightly inferior to "Crazy Racing", it also has a high score of 9.3 on Maoyan, which is definitely a movie that is worth buying.

And Yang Mi's hundreds of fan groups are also calling on bees to buy tickets on Maoyan when buying tickets. After watching the movie, they can click five stars to push up the score. On the first day, fans also organized some private viewing activities, but they couldn't score on Maoyan in that way, which was a disadvantage.

The fans' motivation is very strong. After that, the Maoyan score of "Zodiac" quickly rose to 9.4, and Douban also had a score of 7.3, which is very good for a commercial action movie.

On Saturday, the third day of its release, the box office of "Zodiac" reached its peak, exceeding 60 million, setting a record for the highest single-day box office of Chinese films!

In the end, in the first four days of the first week, the film collected a crazy 185 million box office!

This data is very close to the 192 million yuan of "The Forbidden Kingdom", the best performance of Cheng Long in the mainland, and it can be surpassed on Monday!

And don't forget that there is New Year's Day, which is a holiday, so even if "Avatar" is eyeing it, "The Chinese Zodiac" will definitely reach 300 million yuan in the mainland, and even 400 million yuan is expected to challenge it.

This made Yang Mi, who was promoting the movie in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, very happy. Hum, Liu Yifei, what can you compare with me!

She did some calculations, Cheng Long + Li Lianjie + Liu Yifei, the box office is 190 million yuan.

Cheng Long + Yang Mi, the box office is 300 million to 1 billion!

What does this mean? I don't mean to offend Brother Jie, but Liu Yifei is so lame, hahahaha!

She saw this calculation method when she was peeping at her fans and Tianxian fans quarreling on Weibo. After watching it, she agreed that her fans are really smart, just like me!

However, she obviously selectively ignored the fact that there are also popular young actors Huang Xiaoming and action star Wu Jing in this movie.

And the key is that the screenwriter of this movie is Wang Quan! It is also the only Chinese-language movie that Wang Quan is the main screenwriter of!

For the other Chinese-language movies related to Wang Quan, Wang Quan only provided ideas, and the script writing was completed by others. Only "The Chinese Zodiac" was completed by Wang Quan after consulting a lot of information and watching a lot of action movies for more than a year. In his series of works, it is considered very attentive, and many audiences buy tickets for his name.

Therefore, the box office of "The Chinese Zodiac" in the mainland is a big hit. Cheng Long's mass base, Wang Quan's super high popularity, and Yang Mi's fans' enthusiasm for the box office at the beginning are all indispensable.

Yang Mi is also the first top movie star in the mainland. She is known as the two pillars of the empire with Li Yuchun in the music circle. Many operations of her group of fans have been inherited and carried forward by later generations of traffic fans.

As the main investor and director of the film, Cheng Long is very happy that the film can be loved by so many audiences in the mainland, but the size of the mainland film market is not enough for the film to recover its costs. He is more looking forward to the performance of the film in North America and even the world.

In order to obtain a higher global box office, the mainstream version of this movie released in North America is the English dubbing version. Only in some Chinese communities is the original version shown, just like "Rumble in the Bronx" back then, so the North American foreign language film box office rankings will not be included in the statistics.

The main actors of the film basically dubbed themselves. Cheng Long, Yang Mi, Zhang Zilin, and Li Zongsheng can complete the dubbing alone, but their lip movements are still flawed.

Huang Xiaoming, Wu Jing and others have to rely on dubbing actors. Xiaoming vowed to practice English hard and never make a big fuss again!

In addition to dubbing, when promoting the movie overseas, Cheng Long and Wang Quan's names are basically listed side by side. Wang Quan has the same character size as Cheng Long as a screenwriter and producer, which is very conspicuous on the poster.

In fact, the main investors of this movie are Yinghuang and Cheng Long himself, followed by Huayi, Qiankun, Wangdao and Mi Shi. For Wang Quan's sake, Mi Shi also became one of the producers.

But actually Wang Quan didn't really participate in the production. This is just like when "Hero" was released, Harvey put Quentin Tarantino, who had nothing to do with it, on the poster. Who can blame them for their close relationship?

But Wang Quan is not unrelated at all. He wrote the story, so it's OK to use him for promotion. Many audiences saw this and went to the cinema. The market is optimistic, and the scale of opening the film was 3,100 theaters.

Seven new films were released in North America this week, and none of them could rival Avatar. Avatar’s cumulative box office has approached $300 million, which is completely aimed at the film history record. However, because the 2D screenings of the film did not perform well, its influence on other films was not too great.

The first place among the new films is Guy Ritchie’s new film Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. The box office was 60 million in the first weekend. Downey is now very popular.

The second part of Alvin and the Chipmunks, which is from Fox like Avatar, and got 45 million dollars at the box office.

The third place among the new films is Chinese Zodiac, with a box office of 32 million, which is far less than the 49 million of Rush Hour, but considering that this is a "dubbed film" for American audiences, this result is also quite impressive.

There is another Indian movie this week. Like "Chinese Zodiac", it is starred by Indian superstars and dubbed in English. However, the box office in the first week was only $1.6 million, ranking 13th on the weekly chart. The movie is called "3 Idiots", starring Aamir Khan, and translated into Chinese as "3 Idiots".

Wang Quan was far away from the crew and did not forget to care about the box office of "Chinese Zodiac". Seeing the box office in North America, he felt relieved and it seemed that it would not lose money.

In addition, the box office of this movie in Southeast Asia and the Middle East showed the super appeal of Cheng Long, breaking various records. Although the market is small, it is also a very considerable number when accumulated.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, Wang Quan, "Please come in."

Ma Ling came in. Two days after Wang Quan came back, the crew leadership returned to Wang Quan, and Anthony Hopkins had just finished shooting, and the filming of the movie was declared to be coming to an end.

"What's the matter?" Wang Quan asked when he saw that it was Ma Ling.

Ma Ling shook the document in his hand, "I'll copy the homework."

The Oscar nomination ballots have been issued, and it's the annual time to compete for the Oscar. Ma Ling is also an Oscar judge, so of course he has to vote.

It's just that Wang Quan is now in the director department, while Ma Ling is in the screenwriter department, so the division of labor is slightly different.

The two discussed how to get the ballots, and basically voted for their own company's "The Hurt Locker", "Silver Linings Playbook", "Up in the Air" and "Inception".

To be honest, there are too many cards that Dragon Rises can play this year, and any one of them has the appearance of a little golden man. It's simply an enhanced version of Miramax. "Inception" has to be postponed because of its strong commercial film attributes, and it will be closely followed by "The Hurt Locker" and "Back in the Air".

Next year's Oscars are very suspenseful for Wang Quan, but he is more curious about how Dragon Rises' North American annual box office will rank among the six major Hollywood films this time, because New Year's Day is coming soon.

2009 passed in a flash, and I miss it very much...

(Everyone is so awesome, it's already ranked 101, keep sprinting to the top 100!)
