Chapter 443 What is a phenomenal movie?
“No, it’s only been 10 days, right? Why is it 1 billion, 100 million a day?”
“To be precise, it’s 11 days, every day Looking at its box office, I really didn’t expect that it would reach 1 billion before I knew it.”
“Avatar” in China. The box office is 1.34 billion. Isn’t this a solid surpass?”
“There should be no problem. Back then, Big Ship’s 360 million suppressed domestic films for 11 years. Now, Avatar’s 1.34 billion will surpass it in just one year. As a first-generation Internet user, I really feel like I am witnessing history.”
"So is it possible to continue to try higher, for example, 20?"
"I don't know, I hope there is a chance."
"Long-term screening, I feel like there is Hope, after all, it’s only been 11 days.”
“Box office is not achieved by time, but by time. It's an influence. Almost everyone around me has heard of "Your Name". Even my parents wanted to go and see the excitement. It's scary.
You know, there are so few of them. I haven’t been to a movie in 10 years, and the last time was when it was "Titanic""
"What does it mean to be phenomenal? I'm in the penguin group during the holidays, and I've been talking about this movie almost all the time. Every now and then, someone goes to watch it, and then comes back to post awesome things in the group."
"Haha, it's very graphic. Yes, it’s the same here.”
“…”
Netizens are almost all concerned about the box office of “Your Name”.
They hope that this movie can surpass "Avatar", and they also hope that the new record for domestic movies will be as high as possible.
I have even dreamed of passing two hurdles in a row.
For the media, breaking through the 1 billion threshold is worthy of a special mention.
This is an unprecedented record.
Not only online netizens and media, but also the wider public group seem to understand the historic significance of the box office exceeding 1 billion.
Almost everyone is discussing this topic.
Just like how we discussed "囧囧" breaking 1 billion in the previous life.
The only difference is that the box office of "Your Name" rose too fast and did not give enough time for media promotion.
But "Your Name" itself has already exploded in popularity, so there is no shortage of time.
Hua Central Television News Channel specially reported the news that the box office of Chen Linfeng's new movie reached 1 billion.
The reason why we didn’t ask Xinwen Network to come was because the movie was still in release and has great potential. Maybe it can chase 2 billion.
Han Shanping is already applying for the extension key, and he must extend it no matter what.
After surpassing the 1.34 billion of "Avatar", every additional box office is a new box office record for domestic movies.
He just hopes that this record will reach as high as possible.
This is the real political achievement.
Han Shanping is even contacting friends to see if "Your Name" can be included in the recommended film list of the Federation of Trade Unions.
Just to get more box office.
Of course, if it is really done, it will not be a little more.
He spent the whole morning doing nothing but making phone calls.
I said a lot of nice things about this and lost a lot of face.
Han Shanping is so interested, of course he has some ideas.
As a person born in 1953, he is now 58 years old.
Public officials at his level are eligible to apply for deferred retirement when they reach the retirement age of 60.
Whether your superiors approve or not depends on whether you are a key person in a key position.
The key is not critical. There are many factors to consider, but having sufficient political achievements is always a positive factor.
A film that far exceeds the box office of other domestic and foreign films and sets a new domestic box office record is a political achievement, and it is still a great political achievement.
Just look at how the film bureau tries every year to make the share of domestic films exceed those of foreign films.
Both the industry and superiors attach great importance to this.
As the leader in promoting the development of China's film industry - China Film.
If the movie that ranks first at the box office is still a Hollywood movie, it cannot be called competent.
But things are different now. "Your Name" not only has to surpass "Avatar", it has to go far beyond it.
Just like the shock that "Avatar" and "Titanic" brought to the domestic film industry, "Your Name" will also have a little shock this time.
Putting it together with the two movies that the big leaders also know about, this political achievement is simply as high as the sky.
The best thing is that China Film Group is an important producer and distributor of "Your Name" and is deeply involved.
My name is written on the military medal, wonderful!
“It has to be you, Xiao Chen.”
"I heard that many people at Huayang Station were promoted because of you. Now that you have come to the film industry, I don't ask for more. I just want to work for two more years."
Han Shanping sighed twice and pinched. Pick up the phone and dial.
“Hey, Xiao Chen.”
“What? You’re going to London to film?”
“No, no, no, I have to wait until the celebration party is over before I leave. .”
"You are a great hero and cannot be missed no matter what. Really, please take two more days off."
Chen Linfeng hesitated for a long time and finally agreed.
The other party said it so sincerely that it was difficult to refuse.
Originally, it was indeed planned to return to the set for filming 10 days after the release.
Chen Linfeng contacted Su Weite and explained the situation, and the other party immediately agreed.
Just kidding, they were in the UK, but they also heard the news from China.
Within one week, a single film exceeded US$100 million in a single market, and with Chen’s name on it, it was already excellent news material.
I heard that for his new film, US$200 million is not a problem, and US$300 million is also promising.
This is done under the single market. The film and television industries and media in various countries in Europe and the United States were somewhat shocked, and they have been reporting on it recently.
They were not surprised that Chen could do this.
There has been an example of "Taken" before, but now "Your Name" just continues the previous level.
But China’s film market is shocking.
In just a few years, this market has developed so fast that people are simply caught off guard.
Just two years ago, even $50 million was out of reach.
Now this is not just doubling and rising, you can directly double it four, five or six times.
Over in Hollywood, many companies even held special meetings for this purpose to study how to increase their efforts to enter the Chinese market.
Actually, the most surprised people about this matter are the surrounding regions and countries.
In the past few days, the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan have also been discussing related topics.
Especially in Taiwan, some political commentary programs are also discussing the box office success of "Your Name".
They elevated it to the level of mainland cultural influence.
And talked about the fame of Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian throughout Asia and even the world.
As for its specific significance, Lanying is fine, mostly talking about the rapid changes in its market size.
There is some fuss on the green side.
"Chen and Liu have too much influence on our young people. I think they should be stopped."
"Yeah, think about how these two celebrities always made such a huge noise every time they came to Taiwan."
"I suggest that we don't approve him to come to Taiwan next time. It’s definitely going to cause trouble.”
I have to say, it’s quite funny as a joke.
Hong Kong Island is already a little numb.
There is a feeling that no matter what exaggerated things Chen Tianwang does, they are reasonable.
In the end, it was just a routine shock, with nothing much to say.
Neon media reported the opinions of some Neon celebrities on "Your Name". These people always have channels to see the movie.
"A masterpiece that shocks the soul. After reading it, my heart is like a tree blown by the wind, still rustling for a long time." - Yasushi Akimoto
"What humans suffer in the end is A disease called "hope", watching this movie, Saint-Exupéry ("Little This famous saying by the author of "Prince" flashed in my mind countless times" - Toshio Suzuki (producer of Ghibli)
"Just like the Belgian painter Magritte's "City in the Pyrenees" ", bold and fearless, with immortal persuasiveness" - Shunji Iwai
"..."
Because of the strong recommendation of many celebrities and the influence of Chen Linfeng himself.
Neon Movie fans began to crazily look forward to Teacher Qilin’s new work, and at the same time they crazily cursed Toho Film Company.
Hurry up and bring Teacher Qilin’s movie to us.
Actually, the screening time of the movie was set by Kirin Company, so Toho took the blame for others.
Other countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia are similar in that they all hope that the movie will be released as soon as possible.
Because of several past TV series, as well as "Police Incident" and "Hurricane Rescue" as the basis.
Chen Linfeng now really has box office appeal throughout Eastern Asia.
As a result, Chinese movies and TV series have even gained a little more influence.
Jiang Zhiqiang understands this most clearly.
In the last century, he had deep distribution channels and influence in Southeast Asia. However, after 2000, with the decline of Hong Kong films, this influence has declined year by year.
Mainland movies have not been able to sustain this influence very well.
Since the release of Chen Linfeng's films, his influence has gradually begun to rebound.
Now when he is working on the release of Chen Linfeng's new work, he almost feels like the all-powerful feeling he had when Hong Kong films were at their peak.
The only one who has a similar feeling is Fanglong.
This person has always had extraordinary influence in Southeast Asia.
This situation is actually very different from the previous life.
In the past, domestic movies only had a significant boost in box office when their plots involved Southeast Asian countries.
For example, "囧囧" and "Detective Chinatown".
Until 16 years later, the influence of domestic dramas in these regions was increasing day by day, while movies were still somewhat silent.
February 10th, "Your Name" celebration party.
This celebration banquet did not invite too many people. We mainly sent letters to some leaders, directors, and top stars.
Firstly, there is not much preparation time, after all, the movie box office is rising too fast.
Secondly, during the Spring Festival, there are not many people working.
The next time we caught up with Chen Linfeng, he was going to London to film a movie, so it was a bit hasty and the scope of invited guests was also smaller.
However, for many people in the film and television industry, where there is a threshold, I must come.
Besides, this is the first 1 billion celebration banquet in China, which is of great significance.
Therefore, there were not many celebrities present.
Celebrities such as Fang Long, Jet Li, and Andy Lau were all present, and even Zhou Xingxing, who rarely attends various events, showed up.
The most surprising thing is that Director Zhao of the Film Bureau, leaders of the Literary and Art Association, the Film Association, and some cultural leaders also worked tirelessly and voluntarily to work overtime.
"Xiao Chen, you made big news again this time." As soon as Director Zhao entered the scene, he went straight to Chen Linfeng.
"Director Zhao, happy New Year." Chen Linfeng said hello first, and then said politely, "I am just lucky."
"With a box office of 1 billion in 11 days, this It’s not luck.” The leader who accompanied him praised.
Several leaders surrounded Chen Linfeng and praised him constantly. Every time they came, they had to shake his hand first and let reporters take pictures.
