Chapter 466: Newcomers bury old people
""Passengers" broke 180 million nationwide in 4 days and set various records!"
"The reporter learned from China Film Group that from 0:00 to 6:00 on June 10 At 12pm on the 13th, the mainland box office of "Passengers" exceeded 180 million yuan, and over the weekend it set a record for the highest single-day box office for a domestic film with 55.5 million yuan. "
"It is reported that the film has received sales in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. It is also a hit at the box office.”
“Nearly all theaters in the country have used 90% of their theaters to show the film, and the film is constantly breaking all box office records for domestic films.”
"The media predicts that "Passengers" will break the domestic film box office record of 545 million held by "Passengers" without any pressure."
The 180 million in the first week left many film companies in the industry speechless and choked.
"Avatar" earned 250 million in its first week in the Mainland, but "Avatar" started being released on Monday.
"Passengers" is on Thursday.
Chen Kaige’s face is as green as a cucumber.
Li Chen's "Passengers" grossed 180 million in four days, which is higher than the total box office of his "The Promise"!
Although he is confident that "The Orphan of Zhao" will definitely surpass "The Promise", you said you want him to make 180 million in the first week.
Chen Kaige swallowed unconsciously, forget it.
We, Chen, should just finish filming "Orphan" with peace of mind.
“Learn from him, you definitely don’t need a stand-in, this scene involves riding a galloping horse with a speed of 70 kilometers per hour through the forest!”
"No! Don't you know me yet, Director Chen, have I ever used a body double in the martial arts scene of "Mei Lanfang"!" Wang Xueqi was so heroic that even though he was in his sixties, he was still tough.
Sanya
"Do Not Disturb" 2 is about to start filming. Feng Xiaogang is naturally also paying attention to the abnormal box office of "Passengers".
But he is not too worried. As long as "Earthquake" does not collapse at the beginning, he believes that it will not be worse than "Passengers".
For a movie like this, postponement is just like playing.
The TS government will naturally come forward to cooperate.
Wang Zhonglei is also envious of the box office of "Passengers".
But when he thought of his own "Big Earthquake", his mood suddenly became happy again.
"Xiaogang, don't worry about the outside world's opinions, you can rest assured and film "If You Are the One 2" as scheduled."
"No matter how high the box office of "Passengers" is, it is still inferior to its profitability. , it is definitely not as good as our "Big Earthquake"!"
Feng Xiaogang smiled like an embarrassment: "Zhonglei, my Feng Xiaogang's film may not be as expensive as Li Chen's."
"But compared to making money, no one in our country can be my opponent!"< br>
In fact, when Feng Xiaogang claimed 500 million in box office, he was extremely humble.
When he learned that the TS government was involved, he directly shouted out the goal of one billion in his heart. He only said this to his wife Xu Fan.
Wang Zhonglei smiled and said: "That's right, you are the barometer of our company, and our profits this year will depend on your two big plays."
Everyone in the industry, including Li Chen, didn't know that "Earthquake" had already made a profit before it was released.
Feng Xiaogang's routine operations were more thorough this time, and all the advertisements he placed were for big players.
"Jiannanchun", "ICBC", "BMW", "China Life", "kappa" and many other brands are all included.
The amount of product placement for these brands alone has reached nearly 100 million yuan, while the total investment in the film is only 130 million yuan.
TS Government alone sponsored 60 million yuan.
Li Chen returned to Beijing, and the box office openings in North America were also calculated.
Tim called him immediately, and the opening box office of 31 million US dollars directly won the North American box office championship this week.
It seems like the right time and place, and there is no blockbuster competition in North America at the same time.
There are only one "Shrek 4" and "Sex and the City 2" that have been in theaters for three weeks, plus Fan Zhitong has become famous in Cannes.
Li Chen’s reputation in the Chinese film industry and Warner’s strong support.
When the news spread back to China, the other four producers were overjoyed. Only China Film and Wanda had no pressure to invest in "Passengers."
Guangguang and Shangying were both betting, and now they have won the bet, gaining both fame and fortune.
Chinese Film Report
"Li Chen's film "Passengers" was fully screened in 975 theaters in North America and opened with a strong first-week box office of US$31 million, ranking first in the North American box office "
"It was released simultaneously worldwide for one week, with a total box office of 140 million US dollars, of which France and Japan also won the box office championship that week."
"The Associated Press reports that "Hero is another Chinese film that has been embraced by global audiences. "
Han Sanping couldn't wait to call Li Chen. This celebration banquet must be unprecedented.
Li Chen didn't take it seriously. This time the box office was a bit tricky.< br>
Nicolas Cage, Leon, and Angelina all have their blockbusters in July.
There is a feeling that there are no tigers in the mountains.
Li Chen sighed secretly in his heart. This metaphor was not treating him like a monkey!
Wang Changtian also called and asked him and Cao Guowei to come out and sit down.
Li Chen arrived at the place agreed upon by Wang Changtian. Wang and Cao had already arrived.
Li Chen was brought into the Tianzihao private room of this private club by the waiter.
I saw Wang Changtian standing up with a smile on his face: "You are finally here, brother."
The second season of "The Voice" has been launched, and the ratings are still gratifying. How can Wang Changtian not be happy.
Wang Changtian was extremely grateful that Li Chen could still play with him after he quit the Han-Tang Fund.
Cao Guowei was still calm and taciturn. He just stood up and sat down after thinking about it.
The original invitation to Li Chen to join Sina Weibo now seems so prescient.
Whenever Li Chen's Weibo is somewhat dynamic, it may appear on Sina headlines or Weibo hot searches, or it may directly paralyze Sina Weibo.
Cao Guowei didn't even know how to face Li Chen.
“Dr. Cao, Weibo is a bit chaotic. Even the most trivial things can be trending.”
“I am afraid that money can still play a role in some things. You have to answer the question. Otherwise, we will have to intervene sooner or later." Li Chen was not polite after sitting down and directly gave Cao Guowei his advice.
In the past two days, Jingtian's "Beauty Boss" has been frequently searched.
The title is even more eye-catching.
What is "Beijing Film School beauty Jingtian transformed into a beautiful boss"
""Beauty Boss" welcomes the "shock" to pursue the "dream"!
""Beauty Boss" is not Afraid of earthquakes, not afraid of dream stealing! The box office only asks for 50 million! ”
This shows that Boss Lu is throwing money away.
The copywriting is obviously carefully planned, even "Inception" and "Earthquake" have been mentioned.
Wang Changtian knows his relationship with Weibo.
Cao Guowei nodded: "Don't worry, everything is under control."
Cao Guowei was so confident that Li Chen really couldn't say anything else.
Huang Xiaoming has also been extremely high-profile these past two days. After the last premiere, he accepted a separate interview with the media.
He directly admitted the identity of Da Baobao’s real girlfriend.
In front of the media, he showed his domineering style and said bluntly: My woman is a princess.
Big Baby must have unleashed a big move on Huang Xiaoming, or Huang Xiaoming intended to be so high-profile.
Perhaps it is also for the excitement of the upcoming "Tang Bohu 2".
Li Chen appreciates this responsibility very much.
The next day, Li Chen met with Gu Yongkeng again. Gu Yongkeng was very cautious about the last round of financing at the end of the year.
I inevitably asked about potatoes again.
But Li Chen still didn’t miss a word.
After returning home in the evening, Jingtian sent a text message explaining the "Chasing Dreams Against the Shock" online.
She also found out after the fact.
Li Chen only replied with two words: It's okay.
After a long time, Jingtian sent another message, asking if he could come to the premiere of her "Beauty Boss" if he was not busy.
Li Chen patiently replied: OK.
I turned off my phone and went to sleep.
On the other side, the naive Jingtian took it as Li Chen agreed.
"Uncle, Brother Li said he would come to my premiere when he has time."
Jingtian's face was full of hope. These days, she has been just an obedient doll. She does whatever uncle says. .
Yesterday, he and He Rundong showed off their affection in front of the media and played "kissing"!
The title of "Beijing Film School Beauty" was also arranged by my uncle.
Li Chen did not have time to spare when he returned to Beijing. He was busy working on the later stages of "Meng Hua Lu".
"Ip Man 3" and "Low IQ Crime" have also passed the review, and Han Sanping also called him to schedule them as soon as possible.
When we arrived at Splendid Diamond, the employees were all beaming with joy. The sales of "Passengers" were off to a good start.
This is the company's first work this year. Compared with last year, I am afraid that the company will usher in a big explosion this year, especially at the box office.
The employees know that the boss's "Charlotte" and "The Ancient City" adapted from the big IP will definitely be released this year.
"Director Li. Director Li" Along the way, the employees said hello respectfully.
During this period of time, I didn’t take care of the art of painting.
Unexpectedly, Wu Bin gave him a big surprise.
"Director Li, this is Yao Qi. Noah's Ark in "2012" is inseparable from him, and he is also our alumnus."
Li Chen glanced at this elegant man in surprise The average-looking alumnus immediately smiled happily and said: "A Chinese special effects artist famous in Hollywood."
"I knew you when "2012" was released."
"Director Li's name is so famous, I didn't expect that he would know about me, a little person." Yao Qi was a little flattered.
Li Chen shook hands with Yao Qi: "You are not a little person. Can a little person gain a foothold in Hollywood?"
Wu Bin then said: "Director Li, I just took Yao Qi visited Zhizhen Painting, and he was very surprised by our scale."
Yao Qi sincerely praised: "I didn't expect that there are people in our country who are willing to spend money to build a real special effects company."
“I admire Director Li’s courage very much.”
Li Chen waved his hands and said with a smile: "What admiration or no admiration, I just don't want to be inferior to Americans."
"Director Wu, Yao Qi is a professional. You can reserve a seat for the evening, and we will also listen." Opinions from professionals."
"I'll give Yao Qi a chance."
Wu Bin understood: "Okay, Director Li."
On Wednesday, the imported film "Toys. "Cars 3" was released first.
On Thursday, "The Spy" begins its theatrical release.
But the combined schedule of the two dramas is not even half of that of "Passengers".
The first-day screening rate of "The World" was only 15%, and the first-day box office was even more pitifully low.
Only 4.55 million.
This number is a bit of a blow to "Gonghuang" and "Fa Ge", and even more so to Huayi's big and small kings.
