Chapter 894: The Blockbuster Era 3
China Film Times International Cinema.
There was a long queue at the ticket hall, and a girl finished buying the ticket and pulled her boyfriend into the bookstore. Waiter's pair of eyes:
Here you go again?
Here I go again!
"We have a lot of other merchandise in addition to the Heroes puzzle. ”
The waiter recommended them one by one: "This is the same name, the first printing is only 50,000 copies, first come, first served." This is a comic, written by Hong Kong master Ma Rongcheng, which is the one who painted "Fengyun".
We have also cooperated with the China Stamp Corporation to issue a set of "Heroes" character stamps. But not here, you can book and we will deliver it to your door. ”
"Why are there so many products this time?" said the girl.
"Because "Hero" is a blockbuster, it naturally needs to be developed. ”
"Oh, I'd better have a set of puzzles, I'm not interested in anything else. ”
So the waiter took a big box of puzzles and said with a smile: "Come on, your goal will be achieved soon!"
"Uh-huh, goodbye. ”
The girl left with the puzzle in her arms, and her boyfriend wondered, "What are you buying it for?"
"Five-year plan, after finishing five movies, you can get a permanent free VIP card!"
"So, you've already spelled two?"
"Yes, this is the third, and the fourth will be changed next year, and the fifth year after that. ”
"Yes, come on, I've got your back. ”
Boyfriend gives a thumbs up.
......
According to Hong Kong Sunshine Pictures, although "Hero" was blocked by the two blockbusters "Infernal Affairs" and "Harry Potter 2", the momentum is still fierce.
"Hero" was released in 39 theaters in Hong Kong, and the box office has reached 12 million Hong Kong dollars in five days. ”
"Hero" landed in Taiwan, and the box office in Taipei City reached 7.11 million Taiwan dollars (about 1.8 million yuan) on the first day, becoming the first box office champion in the history of Taiwanese Chinese films. ”
"China's first blockbuster "Hero" was released for 10 days, and the latest box office statistics were announced last night.
The total revenue in the mainland is 140 million yuan, and all 37 cinema chains across the country have exceeded 1 million box office, and only five or six cinema chains have had this record in the past. ”
"After selling 17.8 million audio-visual copyrights, "Hero" is negotiating with international film dealers to officially enter the overseas market!"
Ten days after its release, the popularity has not diminished at all.
But Zhang Guoshi finally broke away from the heavy propaganda work and had time to give an exclusive interview to a media outlet. In a big room of Time Media, this is his personal studio.
"Ever thought that "Heroes" might be smashed?"
"For a movie like this, I think the standard for it is the box office, and messy reviews don't count. I believe that the box office in China will be good and can reach a new high. ”
"What do you think of those jubberish comments?"
"The current reviews of Chinese films are all about the theme first, and when you take a work, you always talk about thought, culture, and meaning first.
I look at the current public opinion, good guys, historians have come out, and professors from Peking University are also talking, all talking about the historical view of "Hero".
A little flattered.
Because I haven't opened up a new view of history? There is a lot of controversy about what Qin Shi Huang is like. I'm just picking one of them to show it, they're too metaphysical.
If you want to tell me about the colors, martial arts, and how to flesh out the plot, I think you're a good critic. ”
"Heroes is the most dazzling of your films in terms of production lineup. To the Oscars? What's your attitude?"
"I didn't have much hope, I knew it myself.
One is due to the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"? It can't be so close to have a second time. Second, is it difficult for this type of film to win awards? I didn't have the Oscars as a goal in the first place. ”
Some netizens said, the film always says the world? In fact, it is to advertise Mr. Xu's company?"
"Hahaha! Mr. Xu acted wildly? He probably shot "Hero" just for advertising......"
Zhang Guoshi has passed the stage of anxiety? Peace of mind.
Scold as you like, scold as you like.
After the interview, he sent the reporter to the elevator? As soon as the elevator door opened, Xu Fei came up from downstairs.
"Mr. Xu......"
The reporter was pleasantly surprised and wanted to grab a piece of the interview, Xu Fei waved his hand, asked him to be a little pressing, and then signaled to Zhang Guoshi.
"Pick up and pick up, go and meet a few filmmakers. ”
"Now?"
"Yes. ”
Lao Mouzi scraped his skull with a comb, put on a hat and sunglasses, and went out with Xu Fei.
Sitting in the car, Mr. Xu explained the situation:
"There are four in South Korea, Zhongbo, Sanhe, and Korea Piecut. Zhongbo is a Beijing company, engaged in film distribution in South Korea.
FI is the one I've worked with, and it's "Virus". The three want to join forces to buy out the South Korean rights for $2 million. ”
"Then do you sell it or not?"
"Sell, the Korean market is small, 2 million is almost. When we get to it, it's better to mention a little more.
There are two in Japan, Warner's Japanese branch, Polly Jiayin, and Polly Jiayin is also what I have worked with. They offered $5 million.
It's stingy, the Japanese market is huge, and it takes seven or eight million to do it.
The other is to grab the global distribution rights, with a maximum price of $25 million, what do you think?"
"25 million, I think it's okay!" Zhang Guoshi said honestly.
"I'm not going to sell out, I'm just going to talk about a share. ”
Joke!
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" broke $200 million at the global box office, and "Hero" was worse than $177 million.
But "Ambush on All Sides" is not good, the quality is poor, the foreigner is aesthetically fatigued, and he only took more than 90 million US dollars. Xu Fei plans to reduce costs and make a martial arts film honestly, don't talk about it.
While talking, when I arrived at the place, I first met with Korean film companies.
Zhang Guoshi was the mascot throughout the whole process, and he couldn't interject, so he watched Xu Fei fight with those foreigners.
After meeting Japanese filmmakers and American filmmakers, I talked for three days in a row, and finally got it done.
............
"As of the end of this month, "Hero" has been released for 13 days, with a box office of 166 million!
It still maintains an average daily income of 10 million, but it is estimated that after the New Year, the momentum will slow down. ”
"Inspiring! inspiring!"
Radio and television, Xu led Long Yan Dayue.
Special mother, I really didn't support the wrong kid, I really give it back! Especially after the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a shining report card will be made immediately.
"No Thieves in the World" is 140 million, "October Siege" is 170 million, and "Hero" is going straight to 200 million.
"What's next year?"
"Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu". ”
"Oh, good. ”
No matter how high Leader Xu lives in the temple, he also knows that Stephen Chow is a big star, and he has a bottom invisibly.
......
"Humph!"
At home, after reading the relevant reports of "Hero", the 166 million figure was bright red and dazzling, and slapped the newspaper on the table: "The box office does not mean everything!"
"Huh?"
Chen Hong, who is 34 years old and has given birth to two sons, turned his head: "What's wrong?"
"I don't like the movie, I don't like its subject matter. I've also filmed the assassination of Qin, and I don't think it's right to sacrifice the individual to complete the collective!"
“......”
Chen Hong has been with him for many years, and he has long been used to it, so don't talk at this time.
When he finished his chatter, this once second to none, but now she has worked hard and quickly emaciated in the position of producer:
"Okay, okay, don't mention this, do you have a plan for the next part?"
"How?"
"China Film contacted me and asked if you have any intention of making a blockbuster. ”
"Blockbuster ......"
Chen Dadao's eyes lit up, he looked at the newspaper again, and couldn't help but snort again.
(Today's three watches...... )
