Chapter 508: Dead Knock (First More Subscription!)

"The Martian broke another billion, and Tang An continued the box office myth!"

"The Martian broke one billion in 16 days, setting a record for the fastest to break one billion!"

"Occupying the single-day box office champion for 16 consecutive days, "The Martian" swept the Chinese New Year stalls!"

"Towards the end of the year, on December 24, 2011, the sci-fi blockbuster "The Martian" directed by Tang An exceeded the one billion mark at the box office after half a month of screening, and the entire Chinese New Year file was unrivaled, becoming the box office champion of Chinese films in 2011, and second only to "Transformers 3" in the mainland film market of the year!"

"1 billion is not the end, "The Martian" points to the box office record set by "Avatar"!"

"More than half of the high-profile Lunar New Year stalls are in process, and I was looking forward to Zhang Yimou and Tang An having a grand battle where Mars collides with the earth, but "The Martian" led the Lunar New Year stalls with an almost invincible attitude, and the box office hit 1 billion in just half a month, on the other hand, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" are not as high as "The Martian"!"

......

Last year, 5 blockbusters were released at the same time, creating the most tragic New Year.

Although there are only three blockbusters this year, the interval between the release of the three blockbusters is only seven days, unlike last year's round, and the tragedy is no worse than last year.

By December 24th, there were still no other movies in the Lunar New Year file.

The movies that can be named a little bit are "Tears of a Fallen City" starring Ren Xianqi and Zhou Dongyu, and "Intimate Enemies" starring Xu Jinglei.

However, the total schedule of the two new films is only 7%, leaving 1% for other films, and most of them are still daytime shows.

The three blockbusters still occupy 92% of the schedule, and completely dominate the evening primetime shows.

In the third week of the release of "The Martian", there are still 37% of the film schedules.

"Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" 29%, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" 26%.

"The Martian" won 214 million in the third week of 5 working days, firmly occupying the daily and weekly box office champions.

"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" got a total of 160 million in the second week and 5 days, and the total box office was 390 million in 9 days of release.

And "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is still in hot pursuit, with a total of 146 million in five days, and a total box office of 332 million.

Due to the lack of schedules, the three films still have considerable box office potential to tap into, and they also maintain a fairly high attendance rate on weekdays.

However, "The Martian" was released one day earlier after all, and the day of the box office explosion has almost passed, and 36% of the scheduled films are enough.

But "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" are different, the two movies have just been released, and judging from the data fed back by the theaters, about 30% of the films scheduled are far from enough.

In the chairman's office of Berner Film Group, Yu Dongzheng had a small meeting with COO Chen Yongxiong, distribution director Zhang Ziming and others.

Halfway through the meeting, the phone on the desk rang.

Yu Dong motioned for himself to answer the phone first.

"Hey. ”

"Okay, I see, wait a minute. ”

Without saying a few words, Yu Dong hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

Zhang Ziming said curiously, "Yu Dong, is there anything good?"

"The Nanjing-Hangzhou Cinema Management Company called, and the copy of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was delivered. Yu Dong laughed.

Zhang Weiping "blocked" nearly 100 cinemas under Berner, and did not give a single copy, resulting in the film schedule of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" in more than a week being two or three points higher than that of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".

Chen Yongxiong said with a smile, "Zhang Weiping is in a hurry, there should be calls from other places immediately." ”

Zhang Ziming answered, "Can you not be in a hurry, now everyone is short of films." ”

Within two minutes, Bernard's three cinema management companies in Xipress, Chongqing, and Guangzhou all called, and the new picture would supply copies of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" to their cinemas.

Bernard's cinema chain has been dismantled, and all its films have joined other cinema chains, and these four cinema management companies are responsible for the management of nearly 100 cinemas under its umbrella.

The top 20 cinema chains basically have at least one Berner cinema.

Joining other theaters has deepened the relationship between Berner and the theater chain, but it has given eye medicine to the new picture in terms of film scheduling.

Zhang Weiping is going to give a copy now, but Yu Dong doesn't want it, and notifies the five major cinema management companies one by one that they will not accept each other's copies.

If you want to give, you can give it, when I am Yu Dong, what kind of person!

Yu Dong can be regarded as breathing a sigh of relief now, when Zhang Weiping was angry with Bernard because of Dong Ping, he was pitted when "Wounded City" was released.

Dong Ping, who didn't know how to do it back then, won the global distribution rights of "Something to Say", and the mainland fortunately got a box office of 40 million, but Huayi had no overseas channels at all.

After its domestic release, the copyrights of three small countries were sold in four or five months, and only in the next few years did it sell the copyrights of four or five countries one after another, so that this film nominated for the Golden Lion could not be released overseas at all.

What's more critical is that the 40 million box office Dong Ping only gave Zhang Weiping 8 million, and the remaining three or four million took a long time to recover.

The domestic box office is in arrears, and it can't be sent overseas, Zhang Weiping was cheated by Dong Ping, a layman.

Later, Huayi and Poly cooperated to establish Poly Huayi, and Berner merged with Oriental Shenlong, a subsidiary of Poly Huayi, to establish Poly Berner, and became a member of Poly Huayi, and was naturally regarded as Dong Ping's person by Zhang Weiping.

However, Dong Ping is not much better, Huayi relied on the release of "Something to Say" at the beginning of the century to form a three-legged situation with New Picture and Huayi, the first generation of the Big Three.

As a result, he spent a lot of money to buy out Chen Kaige's "Thorn Qin" and lost a lot of money.

Later, the Big Three became Huayi, Guangxian, and Berner, and now there is one more Han Tang and has become the Big Four.

After encircling Wu Yusen and Ning Hao, Xiaoma, who is preparing to go public, has a tendency to become the fifth giant.

Yu Dong's refusal to screen "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" in Bernard's cinema immediately reached Zhang Weiping's ears.

"Bang!"

The poor phone call doesn't know how many times it has suffered, and every time Zhang Weiping answers a call, he has to abuse the phone brother fiercely.

The new picture in front of him, vice president Qin Lixin, was full of worry.

"Dong Zhang, did Yu Dong really refuse them all?"

"Okay, he is Yu Dong, this is deliberately going to fight with me!" Zhang Weiping said hatefully.

Qin Lixin worried, "Although not showing our movies will make Yu Dong lose a lot, but we ourselves will lose a part of the box office, which is a thousand kills and eight hundred self-losses." ”

Zhang Weiping didn't know that he originally wanted to force Yu Dong to add hype, but he didn't expect that "The Martian" could maintain such a high box office in the third week, and Yu Dong had nothing to fear.

However, Zhang Weiping is not without opportunities, tomorrow "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" will be released in North America, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Russia!!
