Chapter 390 Global Box Office Record
Liu Weiqiang is still a little unsure about Li Chen's decision to schedule "Wushuang" on November 26. After all, he is facing Lao Mouzi.
“Do you think there is any other meaning behind him scheduling “Wushuang” on Thanksgiving Day?”
“Before this, there was “2012” to be released first, and later there was “Three Guns” I have never seen such a strong timing."
Although Liu Dehua was unsure, he trusted Li Chen.
Seeing that Liu Weiqiang has been complaining ever since he left Li Chen's villa.
"Forget it, Li Chen must have his own considerations in doing this, and he will definitely not harm "Wushuang"!"
Liu Weiqiang smiled reluctantly, and could only comfort himself: "But I wish.”
He couldn’t understand the choice of this schedule, and it seemed that Director Li didn’t care about the box office.
The box office of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" has exceeded 300 million.
Thanks to the 60th anniversary, no imported blockbusters entered the theater to stir up trouble in September and October.
Everyone thinks that the box office of the main theme movie "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" will only be high no matter how high it is.
After all, Han Sanping is not Li Chen, and "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is not "The Wind". To put it bluntly, it is just a documentary.
So Zhang Ziyi, Heping and other novices and veterans came to play Qiufeng.
The Lunar New Year stall is a place where dragons and tigers fight. If you go there, you are courting death.
As a result, the death before and after the National Day holiday was just as ugly.
Although Zhang Ziyi's "Perfect" won 90 million at the box office.
But she still lost a lot of money. As for the amount of overseas copyright sold, she did not dare to disclose it.
With Zhang Ziyi’s character, if she had made money, she would have started beating gongs and drums.
As the golden rooster approaches, whether Li Chen will come or not has become the biggest concern of the media and netizens.
Huabiao Li Chen went to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, should Golden Rooster go there again?
Li Chen’s fans on Weibo have already given advice for Li Chen.
Han Sanping has given up treatment. He knows that Li Chen will definitely not go.
But this is not the case for the Golden Rooster Organizing Committee. If this session can gather together Li Chen, Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang.
Then this year’s Golden Rooster is not afraid of people complaining about the dimness of the stars.
The media called Rongchen Pictures one after another to ask whether Li Chen would go to Golden Rooster.
The answers they all received were the same: Director Li has something to do, and China Film will act on his behalf.
Sina Entertainment News
“The opening of the Golden Rooster is about to begin. Li Chen, the double-gold director who once claimed that the Golden Rooster will not be born again, will only consider participating in the Golden Rooster.”
“This The Golden Rooster is still absent, and the vice president of China Film Group, one of the producers, will attend this Golden Rooster on behalf of "The Wind""
Southern Weekend reported
"With Li Chen's absence from the Golden Rooster, does it mean that this year's Golden Rooster will still lay double-yolk eggs?"
Online rumors are flying everywhere, but netizens are cheering.
"Xiao Lizi is stubborn. He won't go even if he says he won't go, and neither will Singapore, Malaysia or Thailand."
"Brother Chen is awesome, Huabiao gave me face, he is not in the country, so he sent someone Go, Jinji is a complete slap in the face, just won’t go.”
"Little stars and small directors regard the golden rooster as a golden rooster, and big stars and big directors regard the golden rooster as a grass rooster."
Pei Kang, executive vice president of China Film Group Corporation, feels that Li Chen is too ignorant.
He is also a member of the Golden Rooster Jury, and the director and secretary-general of the Jury were very angry about this.
Although it was not stated clearly, "The Wind" was obviously killed in advance.
"Director Han, you should give Li Chen some advice." Pei Kang suggested, sitting in front of Han Sanping's desk.
Han Sanping sneered: "Persuasion? Do you think I haven't persuaded you?"
"You still think he was a college student five years ago?"
Pei Kang said with a smile: "It turns out that he was a college student five years ago?" Director Han has tried to persuade me. The young man is so angular that he won’t even give you face.”
“Forget it, you are from China Film and Television, so your butt cannot be crooked. Who is more important, Jin Ji or Li Chen? You must have a balance in your heart!”
Han Sanping didn’t want to mention this matter again.
Since Pei Kang is not sitting in his position, he cannot consider issues in the overall interests of China Film Group.
This is a non-war crime.
There is something that is more troublesome for him right now.
This year is a special year, so the early targets for imported blockbusters did not meet the standards.
Now they are all squeezed into the Lunar New Year slot, not counting "Avatar". In previous years, China Film Group only released imported films in the Lunar New Year slot once.
It was "King Kong" in 2005. He was not the head of China Film Group at that time, and he still got the reputation.
Wax Pei Kang is the vice president of China Film Import and Export Company and knows the boss’s worries.
"Director Han, don't worry, these two movies "2012" and "District 9" shouldn't make any big waves."
Han Sanping frowned, unwilling to The subordinates have missed the point.
Li Chen is already very considerate and knows his difficulties, so Chi You's "New Moon" is not planned to be released in the mainland.
As expected, the golden rooster laid another double-yolk egg, not only for the best feature film, but also for the best actress.
As in previous years, media netizens were full of criticism.
Li Chen’s fans are like soldiers who have won a battle. They left messages on Li Chen’s Weibo one after another. Fortunately, he didn’t go.
But a golden rooster is a golden rooster. There are scoldings every year, but next year I will be the same.
"The Founding of the People's Republic of China" really exceeded 400 million, becoming the highest-grossing main theme.
At the celebration banquet, Han Sanping smiled like a young Dengke.
Celebrities were full of compliments, but Li Chen was the only one absent.
400 million came true, and all the celebrities at the premiere were slapped in the face. Li Chen did not want to go to the celebration banquet and be raped by others’ eyes.
Li Chen’s golden words became a hot topic.
‘Four Hundred Million’ became a hot word on the Internet in October.
"Forty million" has become a reality, will "one billion" also become a reality?
November’s breaking news comes one after another.
The first one is Huayi, which was launched on October 30.
All media outlets have pictures of Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang smiling from ear to ear.
Not only did the two brothers’ net worth skyrocket, but even the stars were so happy that they couldn’t help themselves and were so shocked that they couldn’t close their mouths from ear to ear.
The most surprising thing among them is not Huayi’s Huang Xiaoming.
It is Tang Yan and Yang Mi, the two golden flowers of Rongchen Pictures.
Yang Siwei and Liu Yifei also bought it, and Yang Siwei was also trembling with excitement.
Only Liu Yifei was happy, of course, but not as exaggerated as the other three.
Yang Mi and others rushed to Li Chen's villa immediately.
In front of Liu Yifei, she kissed Li Chen hard on both cheeks.
Li Chen was caught off guard and quickly pushed the two of them away.
Seeing Yang Siwei coming forward, he immediately scolded him.
Tang Yan and Yang Mi were still very excited. It was more than 60 million. The two of them had never seen so much money in their lives.
Although it cannot be sold within a year, it may be more than 60 million in a year.
"Yifei, forgive me and Tangtang, we really don't know how to express our gratitude to our senior." Yang Mi stepped forward and hugged Liu Yifei affectionately and said softly.
"Yes, me too."
Liu Yifei pinched Yang Mi's face fiercely and snorted: "Just this once!"
Everyone laughed for a while , Yang Mi and others left Li Chen's villa. With money, Yang Mi's ambition grew even more brutal.
"Mimi, where are you going to celebrate today?" Zeng Jia felt sour in his heart, but with a smile on his face.
How come this kind of subscription is not her turn.
"You can go wherever you want. Let's go free today. Don't save me any money." Yang Mi was already looking forward to a better future.
She was reluctant to buy a Ferrari before, but now she has placed an order in her mind.
Yang Mi leaned on the comfortable seat of the nanny car and sighed softly: "The most correct decision I made in my life was to end the contract with Rong Xingda by selling everything."
Yes, these words also expressed Zeng Jia's feelings.
"By the way, Mimi, why didn't Director Li subscribe for Huayi's shares?" Zeng Jia asked the doubts in the minds of many netizens.
Yang Mi thought for a while and then said: "I guess, this is just my guess. Seniors may have other investment methods that are more profitable than Huayi stocks."
"But it's just a few of us. Otherwise, there is no way to explain that Yifei bought it but the senior didn’t.” Yang Mi’s few words made Zeng Jia feel very excited and really wanted to know Li Chen’s other investment options.
Is there anything more profitable than Huayi?
The net worth of Huang Xiaoming, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Yang Siwei and others soared by more than 60 million due to the listing of Huayi, making many celebrities crazy with envy.
Everyone knows that the artists of Rongchen Pictures were able to subscribe for Huayi shares at a price of three yuan at that time, which was all due to Li Chen's strength.
Deng Chao, Zhu Yawen, and Zhou Xun were so painful that they could not breathe, and their intestines turned the color of leek.
Sixty million just passed by.
Sun Li scolded Deng Chao for being a pig, saying you have no talent in investing and you can't even read people!
Zhou Xun even joked with Li Chen: "Director Li, if you have such an opportunity next time, you must remind me!"
"Remind you? Do you think I am your financial manager?" Treasure, it’s gone. Just keep making money by filming!”
The news that “Wushuang” is scheduled to be released on November 26 has not been digested by everyone.
The news that "Avatar" is scheduled to be released on January 4th has been confirmed.
Hollywood's Cameron immediately said he would lead the team to China in December.
Just as Li Chen predicted, "Avatar" will be released on January 4th. Films that were originally scheduled for January were frightened by the news and moved up their schedules one after another.
This year during the Lunar New Year, nearly fifty films, large and small, will be released.
As a result, nearly forty films were squeezed in in December, like dumplings.
Blockbusters show off their talents.
"Wushuang" focuses on the classic lineup of "Infernal Affairs" and Li Chen's script as its selling points.
Zhang Weiping's "Three Guns" caught Lao Mouzi and stabbed him to death.
Today Lao Mouzi sang a theme song, and tomorrow Lao Mouzi sang rap again. The coquettish Lao Mouzi accounted for most of the headlines.
How about Zhang Weiping being a successful businessman who knows which card in his hand is the trump card.
And it can be typed out at the most appropriate time.
Another film, "October Siege" is not far behind.
The cards played are the beautiful Jiaxin who has married into a wealthy family and a super luxurious starring cast.
Even Fan Clan looks a little inconspicuous inside.
The other two films, "Chilling" and "Feng Yun 2", tried their best to attract attention.
Especially the producers of "The Storm 2" seemed to have been given courage by Liang Jingru.
The goal of a box office of 600 million was announced.
It was jokingly said by netizens that this is a target of 500 million guaranteed for punching Leonardo DiCaprio and 500 million for kicking the small steel cannon.
Tim has followed Li Chen’s request and let the two stars of "New Moon", Pattinson and Stewart, take the lead.
With several other leading actors, he began to conduct meeting tours in fifteen major cities in North America.
Domestic Li Chen also timely cooperated with "Wushuang" to hold fan meetings in major cities across the country.
The media called it a pre-match warm-up match between Lao Mouzi and Xiao Lizi.
On the other hand, the second issue of "Running Man" is still as popular as ever.
Shen Tong and Zheng Kai, the two leading actors of "Charlotte", have gained their popularity in advance.
The preliminary preparations for "Tokyo Menghualu" are also proceeding in an orderly manner.
The crew has rushed to Hengdian to start setting the scene, striving to present the highest level of service and color.
"2012" didn't do any publicity at all in the country, just two words: disaster.
No one expected that "2012" would be as popular at the box office as "The Founding of the People's Republic of China"!
Not only did it dominate the North American weekend box office list with an opening box office of US$65 million, it also made US$225 million in its first week of global premiere.
The excited Sony executives said: This is a major victory.
Several blockbusters scheduled for December are all happy.
Just waiting to see the jokes in "Wushuang".
But the joke didn’t wait, but another piece of even more explosive news came, which directly detonated the entertainment circles in Hollywood and Mainland China.
Sina Entertainment News
“According to foreign media reports, according to the box office data released by the distributor New Line Cinema.”
“The vampire romance movie "Twilight" The North American box office of the sequel "New Moon" on its opening day on November 20 was US$72.7 million."
"In one fell swoop, it broke the two records of the highest single-day box office in North America and the highest opening day box office record of US$67.17 million set by "The Dark Knight" on July 18 last year."
"The weekly box office champion of "2012" was only 67.17 million US dollars. It only lasted a week. "
""New Moon" also broke another record, that is, the midnight box office record!"
"This record was previously held by this summer's "New Moon". "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" retained US$22.2 million."
"Warner, the major shareholder of Chiyou Pictures, responded to "2012" producer Sony. br>
Tim excitedly faced his boss on the phone with a rainbow fart that made people crawl all over.
“Hahaha, boss, you don’t know what Warner’s Richard looks like.”
“I dare say that even if Scarlett stood naked in front of him, he wouldn’t even I’m so surprised.”
“Boss, you are so wise and wise, even God will be crazy for you”
The best-selling vampire novel that was not favored by everyone has now become a box office record. Pioneer.
This simply slapped the Big Six, especially Sony, in the face.
"2012", which cost US$200 million, was directly beaten by "New Moon", which cost tens of millions.
As for word-of-mouth and bad reviews from film critics, Tim doesn't care. If the audience likes it, I will continue to make sequels.
Li Chen said impatiently: "Okay, okay! Stop flattering and do more practical things. We Chinese don't like flashy people and things."
The more times like this, Li Chen became increasingly low-key.
How arrogant it is now, how embarrassing it was when "Avatar" was released.
"Boss, don't worry, I will keep an eye on the direction of "New Moon" and there will never be any problems." Tim assured, patting his chest.
"Don't bother the boss anymore, say hello to the beautiful landlady for me."
Domestic media rushed to report on this box office miracle.
Li Chen’s fans are even more delighted.
"Little Japan has been laughing for less than a week, but the leader has pulled him down. The leader is bullying the world and conquering Kyushu."
"Kill Kyushu Island and shock the west coast, Brother Li is awesome!"
“Sissi’s thighs are thicker again, so there’s no need to worry about Little Plum going bankrupt.”
