Chapter 188: Global Box Office

Because of many reasons such as publicity efforts and cultural differences, the box office of "Hou Yi Shooting Sun" in Europe and Australia can only be described as average.

For example, the United Kingdom, which ranks fifth in the global film market, only reported 28 million pounds. Not only is it far less than the 94 million in "Avatar", but it is also lower than the 51.8 million pounds in "The Avengers". In US dollars, it is about 36 million.

France, with 6.6 million moviegoers, is not very high. But the box office revenue of $44 million is also considerable.

The German side is similar, with more than 4.7 million moviegoers. But the high prices here make the total box office income of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" in Germany very considerable.

A 3D movie ticket in Germany costs about 13 or 4 euros, but because of promotions, the average ticket price is about 9.8 euros, and the price is 46 million euros, about 52 million dollars.

As for the other small countries in Europe, they contributed a total of $26 million at the box office, making "Hou Yi Shooting Sun" grossed about $158 million in Europe.

Counting Australia's contribution of 13 million US dollars, "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" has earned a total of 820 million US dollars in global markets outside the United States, which is an unprecedented achievement for Chinese films.

But the achievements of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" are not only this, because North America is still being released, and the results are overwhelming.

By March 15, "Hou Yi Shooting Sun", which was released in the North American market for a whole month, won a total of 247 million US dollars at the box office, temporarily ranking first in North America at the annual box office.

In another time and space, the North American box office list in 2013 ranked first, "The Hunger Games 2: Sparks", $424 million. In tenth place is "The Wizard of Wonderland", with $234 million.

"Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" continues to be released, and I am afraid it will be difficult to rise to 300 million US dollars, but it is relatively stable to receive another 20 or 30 million. At that time, the Yankees will see that a Chinese film can actually rank in the top ten of the annual box office in North America, and it is estimated that it will have to break glasses.

And when Longlin Pictures successively summarized the global box office results and announced them to the outside world, it stimulated many Chinese people.

1.067 billion US dollars, 7.4 billion RMB!

This result is second only to "Avatar", "Titanic", "The Avengers", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II)", "Transformers 3", "The Lord of the Rings 3", "007: Skyfall", "Batman 3", and ranks 9th in the global box office charts.

When Longlin, Bona, and Guangxian jointly held a press conference to announce this achievement, the media instantly boiled.

1.067 billion, dollars! Some people are almost crushing their back molars when they read this number. What's even more exciting is that the United States is still showing it, and if it rises by more than 30 million, it will be 1.1 billion.

How much money do you have to make!

In a studio in the bustling CBD area of Beijing, Wang Zhongjun and Director Feng sat opposite each other. The studio is shared by two people, and they usually don't talk about work when they enter it.

But since listening to the official announcement of Longlin Pictures, Mr. Wang's heart has not been calm. As a result, I sat in front of the drawing board for a long time and didn't draw anything.

Director Feng did the same, and took out a cigarette from his pocket. The two had an agreement that no smoking was allowed in the studio.

But the king always saw Director Feng lighting a cigarette, and he didn't say anything. After a while, I heard the other side say: "You say, am I old?"

Wang Zhongjun said: "Why do you say that?"

"I feel a little uncertain about the pulse of these young people, you said that in the next six or seven years from 97, we have a lot of scenery, why did we suddenly fall behind!" Feng Dao took a sip and looked out the window with his eyes.

Wang Zhongjun said: "After all, there is a generation gap, I don't understand what young people think now!"

Director Feng was like the "sixth master" in the old cannon, and suddenly said, "You said that these rabbit cubs are thinking about everything in their minds all day long!"

Wang Zhongjun said: "Hollywood blockbusters, if you want me to watch "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", it is obviously Hollywood's road!"

Director Feng let out a sigh of relief and said, "I can't do it, I'm old, I really can't get this, let's honestly follow the old path!"

Director Feng learned from Zhang Yimu before and made a "Night Banquet", but he messed up. Later, I wanted to be a master and filmed "1942", but I lost miserably.

made him lose confidence for a while, and decided to return to his old profession and shoot "Private Custom", but he was commented by the media as frying his own cold rice and copying "Party A and Party B".

Wang Zhongjun knew that this person had lost his courage, but fortunately, Huayi's strategy was already de-cinematic. And in the special effects blockbuster, he has found a suitable director, that is, Wuershan who filmed "Painted Skin 2".

"By the way, tomorrow's trailer and finalized press conference of "Looking for the Dragon", you will also go over to have a show!"

Director Feng laughed dryly, and suddenly said: "Do you really think that kid's "Looking for the Dragon" can replicate the overseas box office success of "Hou Yi"?"

Wang Zhongjun said: "Of course not, publicize it, blow the name out first!"

Director Feng sighed slightly, "But that movie is too successful, let's rub other people's traffic for publicity, don't look back and be slapped in the face again!"

Wang Zhongjun's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, then the domestic side will be more publicized, and the overseas distribution will not be mentioned in advance!"

These two people always spoke in a flat tone, and what they said was not good. But in a conference room of China Film, the executives of China Film, Leshi, and Dream three film companies gathered together and were discussing the summer vacation of "Nine-Story Demon Tower".

At the beginning of the project of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", the industry was shaken. China Film, Huayi, Wanda, etc. all want to participate. was frightened by Lu Lin's sentence to give up Europe and the United States, and he withdrew directly.

Now that the global box office of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" has accumulated 1.067 billion, the hearts of Han Dong and others are painful and they are used to it. Not to mention $1 billion, even if it is more with them, it doesn't matter.

However, because of the withdrawal of the "Hou Yi" project, the "Nine-Story Demon Tower" that was set up needed to be vigorously promoted by several companies and distributed worldwide.

"Han Dong, the copyright of "Nine-Story Demon Tower" in Europe has been sold, and you still have to think about it in Asia and North America!" said Leshi's Zhang Zhao.

He just took Lu Chuan to France to participate in the Deauville Asian Film Festival not long ago, during which he sold the copyright of "Nine-Story Demon Tower" in various European countries. Although it is sold at a low price, it can be distributed worldwide!

Han Shanping frowned when he heard this, he looked at the film "Nine-Story Demon Tower", the quality was so-so, and he was afraid that it would be no fun to count on the Hollywood Six.

So he asked the main channel of the distribution department: "Contact Harvey and ask him if he is interested in posting this!"

The director smiled: "Don't worry, Han Dong, Harvey contacted me a few days ago, and he has always wanted to watch the film "Nine-Story Demon Tower", saying that as long as the film is fine. Absolutely mainstream commercial cinemas, the opening of cinemas will not be less than "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun"!"

Han Dong now feels a pain in his head when he hears Hou Yi's words, a billion dollars!
