Chapter 110: Hollywood Is Like That (2/5)

"How much?"

Liu Yifei swallowed the ingredients, thinking that he had misheard, Lu Xiaoran simply handed her the mobile phone, and Ming Huanghuang wrote, '54.2 million!'

“… Wow..."

Liu Yifei was shocked...

So far, she has acted in four movies, not counting the ticket nature of "May Love", "Love Winner", "The King of Kung Fu" box office is 140 million, "Love Notice" box office is 53.02 million...

The box office of "Source Code" on the first day directly overturned the total box office of "Love Notice"...

"Looks like everyone is looking forward to me!"

Director Lu smiled reservedly...

Wan Qian sighed: "54 million, second only to "Transformers 3"?"

“… You mean the results of the first day?"

"Hmm!"

Lu Xiaoran was about to answer, but the phone rang, it was Zhong Lifang...

A few minutes later, Lu Xiaoran hung up the phone and explained to the two girls: "The North American theater of "Source Code" has expanded to 2,200, which can be regarded as a large-scale release!"

Liu Yifei: "That... Can it surpass "The King of Kung Fu"?"

“… It depends on the situation, two days after the release, the single-day results are around $1.3 million, expanding the scale of the release, the box office is certain, but how high it can be, no one knows... What? You're going to North America?"

"No, I just want to surpass "The King of Kung Fu"..."

"Eat something, go to sleep quickly, I have to go to Suzhou and Nanjing tomorrow..."

“… Well. ”

Director Lu doesn't have the energy to stay with the two girls...

……

At the same time, Guangguang Media also received the news.

"54 million!"

What is this concept?

directly refreshed the top of the box office chart on the first day!

And the word-of-mouth of Douban and Time.com are as high as 8.5 points or more!

This horse-stepping...

Rays originally thought that if "Source Code" met Waterloo, they would move "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet" to November 18.

Now it seems that November 25th is not a good schedule...

Or, a few more days?

"The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet" is not the worst, the schedule they chose is very good, they can attack, and they can defend!

"The Military Order of the Female General of the Yang Gate" is miserable!

On November 18th...

The producer of this movie is Shangying, the first producer - Cheng Long!

The second of the three works that Shangying collaborated with Uncle Long: "Xinhai Revolution", "Yang Men Female General", "Zodiac"...

"The Female General of the Yang Gate" is dead...

The Huayi brothers are rejoicing - "Happy Magic" is set for December 1st...

"East Becomes West 2011" is considering whether to withdraw from December...

Everyone knows that a behemoth is about to set sail, and there is only one way to die in front of it!

The market is like that, and always has been – winner takes all!

……

And it turned out to be exactly what they expected!

On November 12, "Source Code" won 74 million box office in a single day;

On November 13, it hit a single-day high of 82 million...

The box office successfully exceeded 200 million in the first weekend!

All the way to the box office record of domestic films...

Even "Iron Fist", "God of War", and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", which were released at the same time, can't stop it.

Those three Hollywood blockbusters, together in a single day, did not reach 8 million!

When the news came out, the industry was directly stunned...

Not only that, "Source Code" was released in North America, released on Wednesday, and earned $13 million at the box office in its first week...

directly surpassed "Flying Eagle Project" (10.41 million), "Ambush on All Sides" (11.05 million), "Drunken Fist 2" (11.56 million), "Black Hero" (12.5 million), "A Good Man" (12.71 million), and ranked among the top 12 Chinese films at the North American box office...

"Lone Agent", "Big Man" plus "Source Code", Lu Xiaoran's North American box office has exceeded 38 million US dollars!

became the fourth Chinese actor to enter the North American market after Bruce Lee, Cheng Long, and Li Lianjie...

And he is a pure Chinese movie!

These things are well known in the heart...

On the Internet, "Source Code" has been praised to the sky!

What is 'not weaker than "Inception", "Chinese science fiction film pioneer", "hanging Hollywood"...

……

13th, Monday, Shenzhen Market.

Orange Studios, roadshow meet-and-greets.

"Do you think Source Code surpasses Hollywood sci-fi?"

"No, "Source Code" can only be regarded as a low-cost film in Hollywood, playing with concepts, and it is a relatively niche independent film, so you can see that its IMDb rating is less than 10,000 people, and the audience is too small. ”

"What about the special effects level?"

"Tell the truth?"

"Hmm. ”

Lu Xiaoran pondered for a moment: "If we take the middle and upper reaches of Hollywood as the standard, our current shooting and production gap is about 20 years, and the special effects gap is slightly shorter, about 10 years." ”

"So much?"

"It's a process of industrialization, and we're trying to build the foundation for industrialization, and we've selected four young directors and arranged for them to study in North America for a year, and when they come back, they're going to make sci-fi films. ”

"For Source Code, we used almost six special effects companies, and a team of 1,500 people worked day and night for a year and a half to achieve this effect!"

"Don't underestimate Hollywood, in fact, the two films "Iron Fist" and "God of War" can only be regarded as medium-sized Hollywood productions, not super A-level productions, and the special effects of "Source Code" are not enough for "Transformers" to fight!"

If a film is successful, can it blow Hollywood?

People have gathered the best film talents in the world, how can it be so easy to beat?

"Why insist on industrialization?"

"If we still stay in the creation of realism and do not take the road of film industrialization, we will not be able to see anything in a few years, and maybe in a few decades, the industrial gap between us and Hollywood will become wider and wider. The country's economy is already very strong, and all the six major Hollywood studios have branches in Beijing, and they all see the potential of the Chinese market, so why don't we make up for our weakness?"

"Now is a good opportunity, science fiction has a big background, that is, the national strength is strong. The audience's confidence relies on the country, and if some themes are filmed, the audience will believe it. ”

"The future... I will definitely continue to follow the pace of industrialization..."

"I heard that the investment in "Source Code" is 120 million, so will a bigger investment movie be made after that?"

“… 120 million is very big in the domestic market, but if it is placed in the world, it can only be regarded as a small meaning, even if we are ready to spend one billion to build the three movies "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", "Gravity" and "The Wandering Earth", the investment scale can only be regarded as mediocre!"

"What industrial films want is big investment, high concept, and big special effects!"

A few reporters who asked questions were a little confused...

A billion can only be considered mediocre?

No, the point is that he's serious...

And the logic is self-consistent, there is no room for refutation!
