Chapter 276: Not on One Level (The First One Is Complete!)

"Red Cliff" broke 300 million, the second domestic movie to break 300 million.

Although it was more than half a month later than expected, it was still 300 million, the second place in the history of Chinese films, and only two films with more than 300 million.

The celebration press conference must be held, and Wu Bo can finally let go of the anger he has been holding for two months.

Tang An and Wang Zhongjun sat under the stage, looking at Wu Bo, Wu Yusen and a group of actors who were proud of the spring breeze above.

Wu Bo talked about his feelings on stage, how difficult it is for this movie with an investment of 600 million yuan......

However, when I accidentally caught a glimpse of Tang An and Wang Zhongjun in the audience, their faces changed imperceptibly.

300 million was done, and Zhang Yimou was also surpassed, but Tang Anlai came out halfway, breaking 300 million nearly a month faster than them, and the total box office was 10 million higher than them.

This makes the achievements of "Red Cliff" in China not so worthy of showing off.

In the case that the lineup and investment are stronger than the other party, they even lost!

But fortunately, the box office in Southeast Asia is relatively powerful, much stronger than "Shocking Demon Thieves".

"Our "Red Cliff" is not only a big hit in the mainland, but also in the entire Southeast Asia!"

"The box office of Hong Kong is 24 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking second among the highest-grossing Chinese films in Hong Kong in 2008!"

With a total box office of US$650,000, Malaysia ranked fifth among the highest-grossing Chinese-language films of the year. ”

"With a total box office of US$1.9 million, Singapore is the second highest-grossing Chinese-language film of the year!"

"Treasure Island has a total box office of 5.5 million US dollars, ranking third in the annual box office!"

"South Korea's total box office is 9.9 million ......."

......

Wu Bo read aloud the box office situation of every country in Southeast Asia, without exception, all of which were at the top of the movies released in the same period, and they were second only to "Yangtze River No. 7" in the box office of Chinese films in many countries.

"Red Cliff" is currently being released in more than 20 countries and regions around the world, and the total box office has reached 70 million US dollars!"

Not counting the box office of Japanese benzene and Europe and the United States, there are already 70 million, according to this momentum, with the addition of Japanese benzene, the global box office is very likely to exceed 100 million US dollars.

There are 100 million in the first half, and the second half will not be bad, plus the international version will be released in Europe and the United States, and the total box office may even reach 250 million!

Coupled with some other copyrights, the investment of 600 million yuan is enough to return to the capital.

In recent years, the box office in Southeast Asia is definitely a big one, and Xiangjiang Films basically lives on the Southeast Asian market.

For example, Zhou Xingchi's "Yangtze River No. 7" has a box office of more than 200 million in the mainland, but it has received 26 million US dollars in Southeast Asia, which is not much less than that in the mainland.

Not to mention Cheng Long and Lee's films, "The King of Kung Fu" sold $2.7 million in Malaysia alone, nearly $40 million in the whole of Southeast Asia, and nearly $130 million worldwide by relying on the outbreak of North America and Southeast Asia in the case of unsatisfactory box office in the mainland.

The same is true for many small-budget films, even if each country takes two or three hundred thousand dollars, it adds up to two or three million dollars.

However, it has been these two years, and Hong Kong films can still be sold, and in a few years, a large number of Hollywood superhero movies and special effects blockbusters will appear, and the old-fashioned Hong Kong films will completely lose the market.

If you can't sell it in the mainland, then you're completely dead.

A press conference lasted nearly two hours, Han Sanping, Wu Bo, and Wu Yusen spoke one by one, and finally ended at more than 12 o'clock.

At the reception, they accepted everyone's congratulations, and the smiles on their faces did not stop, but when Tang An and Wang Zhongjun congratulated, they were a little embarrassed.

"Han Dong, Wu Dong congratulates the box office on breaking 300 million. ”

"Director Wu, the first time you come to the mainland to film, you can get a box office of 300 million, which is amazing. ”

There are no thorns in the words, people at this level are not sarcastic to their faces, which is too bad.

Director Tang was polite. ”

Han Sanping was a little regretful that he couldn't break 300 million in the summer vacation, but it's too late, and now he can finally put all his energy on "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".

Wu Bo coped with it not lightly, and also talked about the overseas box office of "Shocking Demon Thieves".

"It seems that Director Tang's film didn't sell very well in Southeast Asia, and it only sold for 8 million US dollars, right?"

Tang An was speechless, he didn't know where he got his sense of superiority, and it was good that he didn't mock him.

Wang Zhongjun immediately laughed and said, "It's not as good as Wu Dong's "Red Cliff", after all, we only invested more than 100 million, and there are no top stars, and we are already very satisfied with the overseas copyright sold for 12 million US dollars." ”

Wang Zhongjun hid a needle in his words, which clearly means that you have invested so much and invited so many celebrities, but you will also lose.

Wu Bo was choked back and couldn't refute it.

Han Sanping immediately asked about the specific investment situation, and Wang Zhongjun also told him truthfully.

It will be listed next year, and most of the company's data will be made public, and you will know it when the time comes.

As for the false reporting of data, if it is found out by the CSRC and affects the listing, the gains outweigh the losses.

"130 million, half for production and half for publicity. ”

With a production cost of 70 million yuan and a publicity fee of 60 million yuan, there is no such ratio in the entire mainland film market!

Although he expected that their publicity expenses would not be less, this 1:1 ratio still made him sigh, which is already a standard Hollywood production and publicity cost ratio.

is twice the publicity cost of "Red Cliff", it seems that the loss is not unjust!

The five people were talking and laughing and chatting there, and the atmosphere was not bad, but there were thorns in the words between Wang Zhongjun and Wu Bo, and Tang An did not participate, so he ate melons on the side.

"By the way, Han Dong, what are you going to release in the second half?" Tang An suddenly asked again.

"At the beginning of January, it will be released after New Year's Day. ”

It was originally expected to be released in the summer of 09, but it lost to Tang An this year, and there is a high probability that it will be lost if it bumps into it again next year, so it can only be raised, which is also a helpless thing.

"Yangtze River No. 7" can get 200 million box office when it is released at the end of January, with enough film schedule, without any opponents, Han Sanping and Wu Bo believe that they can still win 300 million box office.

"That's almost there, the second half should be mostly war scenes, I'm a little looking forward to seeing it sooner. Tang An said politely.

"Then Director Tang will be welcomed. Wu Yusen smiled.

Although losing to Tang An made the success of "Red Cliff" a little imperfect, Wu Yusen's focus was not in the mainland.

Now that the overseas box office is successful, as long as North America can meet expectations, not to mention like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", as long as it has a box office of about 50 or 60 million US dollars with "The King of Kung Fu", he can take this opportunity to return to the eyes of major Hollywood companies.

Even if you can't shoot an A-level big production right away, it's enough to start with a medium cost.

In his opinion, Tang An's pattern is in the mainland, and it is extremely difficult to enter Hollywood, let alone directing an A-level production with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is completely different from him.

Anyway, he is also a big director who has the right to edit big productions in Hollywood, and the whole Hollywood can count it with both hands.

However, Tang An thought that "People in Embarrassment" would be released during the Spring Festival, and I don't know if it will collide.
