468, not a single mainland one
Ning Yuan and the three leading actors chatted on stage for a while before other actors came on stage.
At the end of the group photo, Cheng Long and Yang Caini, Xie Zhifeng and Ah Sa, and Ning Yuan, naturally with his girlfriend Jiang Yi in the movie, each stood on one side of the three couples.
And offstage, the flash clicks and the brightness of the flash flashes one after another.
Seeing this scene, some people cheered excitedly, and some people were unhappy - Cheng Long was just that, mainly Xie Zhufeng and Ning Yuan's true love fans.
At this time, it was a little better, and the entertainment mecca created by Xiangjiang made countless stars popular throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia, but it also made them dare not announce it when they faced marriage and even their feelings.
Even if this announcement is just hyping cp, the future set, dare to speculate at that time, I'm afraid I don't want to be confused faster.
Of course, there are some exceptions, such as Zhang Xueyou, such as Liang Jiahui, they dare to do anything for love, if it weren't for true love, they wouldn't be so fearless, let alone in the strictest eighties and nineties.
Since this event, the publicity of "New Police Story" has been in full swing, not only with Ning Yuan, but also with the media bombardment, as well as various TV programs, and the promotion is even more indispensable.
Although Hong Kong films have begun to decline, both film companies and producers still regard Hong Kong as their main venue and do not pay enough attention to the mainland. So when it comes to publicity, they are also mainly carried out in Xiangjiang.
If there are 10 million for the promotion and distribution of a movie, 7 million of them have to be invested in Xiangjiang, 2.5 million overseas, and the remaining 500,000 will have to be hesitant even if they are invested in the mainland.
At the end of the year, the release of "Hero" earned 250 million Chinese coins in the mainland, with a total global box office of 170 million US dollars.
At this time, it was like a thunderclap that woke up these Xiangjiang filmmakers who were drunk in their past dreams!
It turns out that the mainland has such a strong box office market!
In addition to the box office, they are also aware of the potential and explosiveness of mainland films - not only in the countryside or dirty and messy cities, but also in such majestic commercial blockbusters.
Moreover, this is not a crazy and cool superhero like the United States, but an epic legend based on local history.
In the past, the box office of Xiangjiang movies exceeded 100 million, and even more than 50 million were only a handful, and in 99, the box office champion was Chow Xingchi's "The King of Comedy", and the box office of Xiangjiang was 28 million, not even 30 million.
Since the beginning of the millennium, "Lonely Men and Widows" in 00 has been 35 million, and "Infernal Affairs" in 02 has been regarded as the last carnival, in addition to these two, since the 21st century, Xiangjiang's box office record has basically been supported by Zhou Xingchi, and the second has been thrown far away.
In 01, "Kung Fu Football" was 60 million, and the second place was thrown out of a gap of 20 million, and in 03, without Zhou Xingchi, even if "Infernal Affairs" came out with the second part, it could not continue the glory of the first part, only 60% of the first part - 30 million.
In 04, when it declined to the second place in the annual box office of only 25 million, it was Stephen Chow again, and in Xiangjiang alone, the box office of "Kung Fu" exceeded 60 million again, which was more than 10 million more than twice the second place.
As for the mainland, "Kung Fu" even collected 170 million.
After that, whether it is Jay Chou's "Initial D", which was popular in 05, or Li Lianjie, who dominated the list in 06 and 07, it is only twenty or thirty million.
is still Zhou Xingchi, "Yangtze River No. 7" in 08, once again pushed the box office to more than 50 million.
An interesting phenomenon is that in the nineties when Li Lianjie was the most capable of fighting, he did not win the box office championship, but he was older and won the first place twice, which shows that Xiangjiang can fight less and less - not to fight, but to hold up.
This also reflects that the 90s was the glory of Xiangjiang, and in the new century, the rise of the mainland is not only reflected in the exchange rate, but also extends to all aspects of the life of Xiangjiang people.
After that, there are only a few movies that can get their hands on it, "Cold War" 1 and 2, which are the champions of 12 and 16 years respectively, "Guild Wars" is the champion of 13 years, and then "Ip Man" 2 and 3 of 10 and 15 years,
However, Xiangjiang is not all short-sighted, just like Jiang Zhiqiang, if you look at the information of "Hero", you will find that in the column of distribution companies, his Anle Pictures ranks first.
Even Beijing New Picture Pictures, the production company of "Hero", established by Zhang Yimou himself, is only in second place.
Regardless of whether this ranking is in some order or not, it is worth mentioning that the publishing companies behind it, including Fox, Universal, Warner and other world-leading big names, are also connected through Jiang Zhiqiang.
Therefore, if you take the sales model as an example, Anle Pictures is equivalent to the general agent, and the others are just distributors.
Even if you look at it in the long run, "Hero" not only has a great stimulus for Xiangjiang filmmakers, but also allows foreign countries to see the potential of Huaxia, just like commercial companies see the demographic dividend of Huaxia - although this has always existed, but due to the influence of pride and prejudice, most of them have not cared about it before.
This is a double-edged sword for mainland films, their entry will stimulate the rise in quality, but in the same way, too strong opponents will also knock mainland films to a slump - if it were not for the protection of the Film Bureau, it may have happened.
After all, foreign blockbusters in recent years, especially Hollywood blockbusters, are indeed tough.
But now that "Hero" has not come out, and even "New Police Story" doesn't care too much about the mainland box office, let alone treat it as an opponent, Ning Yuan feels that it is necessary to remind Cheng Long.
Of course, Cheng Long may not listen to his own suggestions, and if Cheng Long relays them to the Emperor, the result will be even more discounted.
This is not something that Ning Yuan can worry about, just make a suggestion, after all, the box office has nothing to do with him, besides, with his fame in the mainland, not only does he not need to rely on this movie to make a name for himself, but I am afraid that he also needs to help the movie increase his attention.
Sure enough, after a period of publicity in Xiangjiang, Cheng Long told Ning Yuan that Emperor Yang always felt that what Ning Yuan said was quite reasonable, and was ready to increase publicity in the mainland.
Ning Yuan was quite relieved to hear it, but after hearing about the increased scale, Ning Yuan thought to himself...... It's good if you're happy.
Even two days later, at the banquet at the end of a certain publicity, Yang Shoucheng also said to Ning Yuan:
"It's not that I don't want to make money in the mainland, it's just that the box office in the mainland is too difficult to earn, look at the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, which are the world's biggest hits this year, the box office in the mainland is just over 50 million, not to mention our movies, thank you for your kindness. ”
He said it quite tactfully, and another high-ranking member of the emperor shook his head and said:
"Before the addition, I also learned about the box office in the mainland this year, and it has been more than ten months now, but I have counted to the top 30, that is, about 7 million, and there is not a single movie produced in the mainland. ”
