Chapter 141: The mainland box office is 120 million
PS: Thank you 'hzwangdd' brother for your reward again, two monthly tickets from Tianmeng, thank you very much!
Time flies quickly, and when the north enters November, the temperature goes down quickly.
At this time, Wu Xiang's "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" could not be relied on on the big screen of the theater, and the final box office was fixed at more than 120 million, which means that the box office in the last three weeks was not as good as the first three days.
But it's still done, if it is compared with other movies, this is also very strong, but after all, it is affected by piracy, and there is no way to break 200 million.
Wu Xiang is actually a little depressed, not for anything else, seeing that he is so good, it is possible to break the shackles of 200 million, and he can completely open the blockbuster era of domestic films, but it is a pity that he was sold by himself, okay, that piracy does mean a little bit.
But after all, this film has won so much box office, and the results are already very good, and there are a few domestic films with more than 100 million yuan this year, that is, last year's "Life and Death Choice".
It's a little unwilling, but I've also earned money, and this feeling is really complicated. However, Wu Xiang was not idle, he got the approval of the new TV series "Bright Sword" through the relationship between the three masters, which can be regarded as a receipt.
It's just that Wu Xiang may not have thought that although his film did not completely open the era of domestic blockbusters, it was also regarded by many film critics as the enlightenment of the blockbuster era.
Enlightenment, this status is not low, quite a bit of Montesquieu's kind of people during the French Revolution, of course, this is all a later story.
And the most straightforward. It is Wu Xiang who has given the domestic film market an additional National Day file, and everyone can see that the film schedule at this time is also quite good.
For this film, the debate on the Internet is still not endless, everyone is arguing enthusiastically, on the one hand, it is said that Wu Xiang invented history, and on the other hand, it is said that the scenes and effects of this film are all very good, and each has its own opinion. Until Sister Julie's "Tomb Raider" took over, there was no calm in this quarrel.
From this point of view, Wu Xiang can be regarded as fame and fortune this time, and he has the name of an inventor.
In addition to being released in the mainland, the film was also released in Hong Kong. There are no National Day files in Hong Kong, because they only have one day off. But it still has to be in Hong Kong at this time. You know, Hong Kong is also the hardest hit area of piracy, you are done, let alone the box office in the future.
But also because there is only one day of vacation, the box office table of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" is relatively average, and it will be released for three weeks. won more than 10 million box office.
It's generally very ordinary, but it's mainly affected by piracy, and this piracy came out from the south, and the one who was arrested was a person from the south of China Film. This incident made Han Sanping very faceless at that time, but Wu Xiang couldn't say anything, the third master had to give face.
The treasure island hasn't been on yet, and they haven't had a 'National Day', but they have also negotiated it, and it will be on at the end of the year.
The domestic table is so good, many international masters have also heard about it, and everyone has begun to talk about overseas releases. This film is good, this is a historical film, and there is no problem with the introduction of this film.
In Europe, it is naturally the M6 company, and the ocean-film company, both of them came out this time, and they both felt that the film in Yu Dong's hand was a treasure. M6 tasted the sweetness before, and the ocean-film regretted slapping the thigh, so there must be a good fight for it.
There is a surprise this time, that is, there is a company in the United States that is interested in this film, that is, the previous Miramax company that lost 100 million Hong Kong dollars of paper in vain!
It's not a complete loss, after all, you can sell DVDs, but they can be said to be thieves, oh, well, this adjective is a bit wrong, but you can't lose money in vain when you come to Asia, although most of the current American companies are stupid and have a lot of money.
Miramax Company wants to buy out, just like "The Legend of Shushan", of course, this price must be different from that film, they only paid 10 million Hong Kong paper.
Wu Xiang refused at that time, even if Lao Tzu doesn't go to the United States to be released, he can't be bought by you at such a cheap price, Wu Xiang said in his heart, if you give me 100 million, I will sell you!
Wu Xiang is so simple, isn't he afraid that Miramax will retreat because of the difficulties?
This matter, Wu Xiang knew in his heart that this Mira would not give up so easily.
Quite simply, when Miramax entered Asia, he entered Hong Kong, and he really wanted to do something big!
Because there are a lot of rumors about this company, and later this company successfully operated Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was released in North America, because Wu Xiang had studied this company, and it was already 04 years at that time, when the Internet was more developed, and it was much easier to check the information of a certain company.
Miramax entered Hong Kong, is directly in the Central lane of the two-storey high-end office room, you know, Hong Kong is an inch of land, this is a big spending, such a large amount of office space, this is not the meaning of long-term struggle?
Therefore, for the Asian market, to put it bluntly, it is for my country's domestic films, Miramax has an intention, these guys are not here to play soy sauce.
It's just that they are also more sad, "The Legend of Shushan" lost a lot of blood, and then there were several times of big blood loss, and finally they were directly fooled by domestic filmmakers, and they had to go to Pengcheng in the mainland to find a two-story building to live in first, until "Hero" was released in North America later, which can be regarded as a little blood.
This is also a very inspirational story, after encountering some pit abduction, I finally found a profitable business, crooked nuts sometimes do not understand our national conditions, it is to teach fees.
But it can be seen from this that they are determined and are not afraid of being fooled, so Wu Xiang is not in a hurry.
We're not fooling, the quality of our film is too hard!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Miramax to come again, and this time they came up with a good idea, that is, the film swap.
To put it simply, that's what I use with my hand. Change the film in your hand, and everyone will release it to each other in their own territory.
So what kind of film did they come up with?
"The Beautiful Legend of Sicily"!
Supposedly, this film is quite good, although the box office in foreign countries may not be very high, but the film is very famous, the female lead is very famous, this is a film with great commercial potential.
But Wu Xiang knows that if this film wants to be released in the mainland, it is absolutely impossible not to take a dozen or twenty knives, there are too many scenes that are inappropriate for children. And. This film has already been released in Hong Kong, so if you go to the mainland, this piracy can make this film die directly.
Yes, Wu Xiang still refused very directly, you are cheating me. Is there any sincerity?!
Sometimes doing business is like this, don't take it lightly. Don't look like you're in a hurry to sell something. If you're short of money, you won't be able to sell this thing!
Wu Xiang is holding the stance, he has the capital to take the stance, he is not short of money now, and the box office in the mainland and Hong Kong will remove the miscellaneous things. He can get more than 20 million, although his plan for the film and television building is a slot machine that eats money, but the investment is step by step, and now he is making a TV series by himself. According to Wu Xiang's total, more than 10 million is enough.
And when Miramax found Wu Xiang for the third time, they were told that director Wu Xiang had gone to film.
Needless to say, naturally I went to shoot "Bright Sword", if I want to talk about this preparation, Wu Xiang has also been doing it for several months, and now the time is almost the same, it's almost winter, you can shoot some scenes first.
As for Miramax, hehe, let them wait a little longer.
Do business and play with your heart, you must not be in a hurry!
Wu Xiang found all the people he wanted, including those actors who were going to play the role of Japanese soldiers, in this regard, Wu Xiang was not as foolish as the old version of "Bright Sword", most of the people he was looking for this time were real Japanese.
Junichi Ogang, this one is not famous, but his background is very good, that is, he graduated from Yenching Film Academy.
That's right, they are all alumni with Wu Xiang, it's true, this Junichi Ogang is still an alumnus of the same grade, and he is also from the 97th level. Not only him, but also Kenichiro Ota and Yoshihisa Tsumi, who are also level 97.
Junichi Ogang has also starred in "The Devil is Coming", but it is not an important role, you have to be careful to find him in the cast, and it is just right to play Captain Yamazaki.
That Ota Kenichiro is actually a director, and he is older, and Wu Xiang recruited him before to play the role of Yoshio Shinozuka. After seeing Yoshijiu, Wu Xiang planned to let him play a Japanese officer.
They are all looking for stalls in front of the film academy, these people come from afar, and if they don't act, they are so sorry for themselves. These are all important, as for those who don't show their faces, they have also found a lot, and there are a lot of Japanese students in film schools.
If you want to talk about Yenching Film Academy, it is really famous, this is famous and even world-renowned, because it is said that specialized art schools, especially performing arts, are very few in the world, very few, and if you want to say that there are colleges and universities that can be recognized by the country for undergraduate degrees, it is even less.
The United States is not powerful, but there are very few colleges and universities like him, the famous one is USC, but it is not a vocational school, it belongs to USC, it is an academy, the famous director Zemeckis, of course, there are many actors, and the specialized, that is the New York Film Academy. But it's a private film school, you can go to it if you have money, and many people come here for gilding, and she can provide two to two months of acting courses, you see, but they do have a bachelor's degree.
There are not many in Europe, and even less in Asia, if you want to talk about majors, it is still the majors of these colleges and universities in our country, whether it is theoretical knowledge or business level, it is no problem to completely blow up the whole of Asia.
Japan and South Korea only have training courses for various companies, and Hong Kong is a well-known TVB artist training class, among these, TVB's artist class is more professional, but it only provides half a year of training time.
Therefore, if you want to study systematically, master theoretical knowledge, and be all over Asia, you have to come to our mainland to study, in fact, there are many Japanese and Korean students in film schools every year, and their number is not even less than that of domestic students.
With so many film school students, then there are no non-majors?
Yes, that Japanese man's name is Koji Lost Wild!(To be continued......)
