Chapter 1119: First in Film History
Many Zhang Ran fans were excited and surprised when they heard the news that "Angel of Justice" was shortlisted for the New York Film Festival. They were excited to see the film soon, and surprised that it was going to be shown in New York. Zhang Ran is a frequent visitor to the three major film festivals, the kind that the chairman of the three major film festivals begged him to go, and no one expected him to go to New York to compete.
However, the large-scale coverage of "Angel of Justice" by the American media and the prediction that "Angel of Justice" will be the number one seed for next year's Oscar made many people realize that Zhang Ran premiered the film at the New York Film Festival for the convenience of the Olympics, and the audience of movies like "Angel of Justice" is not very interested, and if it can win the Oscar, it will attract more audiences to the cinema.
Zhang Ran's fans understand this, and the right-wing of Dongying, as well as the Dongying forces in the United States, naturally understand this. They knew that Zhang Ran had been preparing secretly since filming "Angel of Justice", and now when they heard that Zhang Ran had put the premiere of the movie in New York, they quickly acted and prepared to attack Zhang Ran in New York, making "Angel of Justice" a complete joke.
At this time, Zhang Ran was still busy with the later stage of the film, and now there is only one and a half months before the opening of the New York Film Festival, and he must work overtime, otherwise the later stage of "Angel of Justice" may not be completed.
In the sixth week of the release of "Full Band Blocking Interference", the film achieved a box office of 1.7 yuan in China, a box office of 76.36 million US dollars overseas, a weekly box office of 97.73 million US dollars, and a total box office of 2.71 billion US dollars, which is still 150 million away from the 2.86 billion US dollars of "Avatar". According to the trend and box office curve of "Full Band Blocking Interference", the final box office should be around 2.8 billion, and there is no hope of breaking the record of "Avatar".
This result not only makes many fans who pay attention to "Full Band Blocking Interference" feel unacceptable, but also makes the creators of "Full Band Blocking Interference" very regretful, after all, defeating "Avatar" to become the global box office champion is undoubtedly a great achievement for a Chinese film, which is enough to leave a name in film history.
Zhang Ran also regretted "Full-Band Blocking Interference", if there was a difference of one or two hundred million, naturally there was nothing to say, but it was really a pity that it was only three or four million dollars short of the box office championship.
That night, Zhang Ran received a call from Gao Jun. On the phone, Gao Jun said with regret: "It's a pity that he is just three or four million US dollars short of becoming the global box office champion!"
Zhang Ran also said with regret: "No way, this is fate! But it is only a matter of time before Chinese films reach the top of the global box office, and our market is too big." Ten years from now, the Chinese market alone will be able to break the $2 billion mark, and if the renminbi appreciates again, it is possible to break $3 billion at the box office. When the time comes, Chinese films will definitely dominate the list, and all Chinese movies on the box office list will be like all American movies now!"
"Yes, Chinese movies will definitely dominate the list at that time!" Gao Jun said this, but he was still unwilling, and said in a low voice, "It's just thirty or forty million, let's brush a little!"
Hearing Gao Jun say this, Zhang Ran frowned, and said categorically: "Absolutely not!" When "Transformers 4" was released in the United States two years ago, the data released by the distributor was 100 million US dollars, but many box office websites were questioning this data, thinking that only the data was 97.5 million. Later, MOJO used the data of the filmmaker, but specifically noted that the box office was suspected of water injection. This is not the case for American films, let alone Chinese films. If "Full-Band Blocking Interference" is injected with water at the box office, the European and American media will definitely report it on a large scale at that time. They will not write "Full-Band Blocking Interference" box office injection, but they will definitely write the Chinese movie "Full-Band Blocking Interference" box office injection! When the time comes, it will not only be us who will lose face, but Chinese films, and this cannot be done!"
Gao Jun said: "We don't open a ghost field like other people inject water, but directly charter the venue, send movie tickets to customers at the peak of the century, and at the same time send tickets to everyone in the form of a public welfare field, inviting the People's Liberation Army, armed police officers and soldiers, public security officers, and the elderly over 60 years old to watch." We'll do it cleanly and others ......."
Zhang Ran directly interrupted Gao Jun's words and sternly refused: "Absolutely not, we can't let Chinese movies, or even the whole of China, become a laughing stock in order to satisfy our vanity!"
Seeing that Zhang Ran's attitude was so resolute, Gao Jun didn't say anything more, but sighed deeply.
At the same time, many netizens on the Internet are also discussing this matter, and everyone regrets that "Full-Band Blocking Interference" can only rank second in film history because of the gap of tens of millions.
Three years ago, "Future Apocalypse" swept the Chinese market and gave birth to a new term on the Internet, "spiritual shareholders". "Future Apocalypse" is still about the US military, while "Full Band Blocking Interference" is about Chinese saving the world, filming the spirit of Chinese, so that countless Chinese audiences have a strong satisfaction of national self-esteem, and the spiritual shareholders are much more than natural than "Future Apocalypse".
These spiritual shareholders are more nervous about the box office than Wu Ershan every day, and they are checking the box office all the time, looking at how much the box office of the movie is, as if they have invested themselves. Someone even joked: "Since watching "Full Band Blocking Interference", I have simply become a pyramid scheme leader, and I have developed a few good buddies around me to watch this movie, and after coming back, several buddies have developed their own downlines. ”
Now the spiritual shareholders see that "Full-Band Blocking Interference" is so short of tens of millions, and they pass by the champions of film history, all of them are as if the stocks are trapped, and they are in a hurry, and recommend "Full-Band Blocking Interference" to their friends with a more crazy attitude, and they can't wait for everyone to brush it three or four more times.
Yang Ru is 26 years old this year, works in a foreign-funded company, and she was not interested in "Full-Band Blocking Interference", but because her friends wanted to watch it, she watched it with her. In the process of watching the movie, Yang Ru cried several times. After watching the movie, she became a fan of the movie, and Amway this movie was in the circle of friends.
Soon after that, Yang Ru and her friends went to the cinema four more times, and watched "Full-Band Blocking Interference" five times. As the box office of "Full-Band Blocking Interference" continues to rise, constantly refreshing various data at home and abroad, Yang Ru downloaded the Maoyan APP, settled in the box office, and began to pay attention to the performance of "Full-Band Blocking Interference", and completely became a spiritual shareholder.
Like all the spiritual shareholders of "Full Band Blocking Interference", Yang Ru knew that the movie had little hope of breaking the record of "Avatar" and could only be ranked second at the global box office, not to mention how disappointed she was, thinking about whether she could do her best.
That night, when Yang Ru looked through the information of her high school classmates on Renren, she found that her former table mate was in Beiping and was also in Chaoyang District. When they were in high school, they had a good relationship, but after college, because they were in different cities, the relationship slowly faded, and in the end, they didn't contact each other at all. If it weren't for today's Renren Network, I wouldn't have known that everyone was so close. So, she left a message for the other party: "I only learned today that you are also in Chaoyang District, if you have time to come out to play together, I will invite you to watch a movie." ”
Wu Wenbo is a die-hard fan of Zhang Ran and a heavy sci-fi fan. When "Time Prisoner" was broadcast on the movie channel, he was studying at Peking University, when "Soldier of Time" was released, he worked for a company, and now he is the owner of a public company worth billions. In the past ten years, Wu Wenbo has experienced a lot, setbacks in love, career failures, and betrayal of friends, he has changed a lot, but what has not changed is his dedication to idols and his love for science fiction.
After the release of "Full Band Blocking Interference", he chartered the show for two consecutive weeks, allowing company employees to walk into the movie twice to watch the movie. Like all the spiritual shareholders of "Full Band Blocking Interference", he always pays attention to the data of the movie, and will constantly refresh the box office data of the movie between work. After knowing that the movie was about to miss out on the global box office championship, he also began to get angry.
In order to support "Full-Band Blocking Interference", in order to make "Full-Band Blocking Interference" break the record of "Avatar", Wu Wenbo made an announcement in his company's circle of friends. It reads: "In order to support the development of our domestic films, but also to express the group's confidence in the country's strength and the respect for "Full-Band Blocking Interference", and also to express the high respect for director Zhang Ran, and also to help "Full-Band Blocking Interference" to become the global box office champion, the board of directors of the group has decided that all employees who watch the movie "Full-Band Blocking Interference" on August 30 can take a day off on September 2 with their movie tickets, and the movie tickets can be reimbursed by the finance department. ”
Unexpectedly, some employees posted Wu Wenbo's notice on the Internet, which aroused heated discussions among netizens, and also made many fans very envious, shouting "Look at other people's bosses, and then look at the direct bosses, this gap is too big." What Wu Wenbo didn't expect was that because of this matter, the media interviewed him, which made him show his face in the media.
"Full-Band Blocking Interference" has many spiritual shareholders in China and many abroad. Domestic fans are crazy about Amway's "Full Band Blocking Interference" to the people around them, and have walked into the movie many times to support the movie; foreign fans have also organized a "watch again" activity on the Internet, simply put, calling on everyone to go into the cinema to watch it again and contribute to breaking the box office record of "Avatar".
With the support of the spiritual shareholders, the screening hall of "Full Band Blocking Interference", which had already begun to turn cold, became popular again, and even the golden fields of some popular theaters were full again. With the support of spiritual shareholders, "Full Band Blocking Interference" stepped out of a strange curve in the seventh week of its release, achieving a reverse decline, with the weekly box office exceeding $100 million and a total box office of $2.81 billion, rekindling the hope of breaking "Avatar".
After this result was released, the spiritual shareholders of "Full Band Blocking Interference" thundered with joy, and one by one it was as if the stocks they bought had skyrocketed, not to mention how happy they were.
September 12, 2016 was an ordinary Monday, but it was a special day for many of the spiritual shareholders and supporters of Full Band Blocking Interference around the world. Almost everyone is waiting for the box office data of the ninth week of the movie to come out, and although many people are at work, they still can't help it, and they all secretly refresh MOJO, refresh the official website and official account of "Full Band Blocking Interference", and wait for the box office data to come out.
Now "Full Band Blocking Interference" is less than $10 million away from the 2.86 billion box office record of "Avatar", knowing that breaking the box office record of "Avatar" is already a nail in the coffin, but everyone is still very nervous!
It wasn't until 9 p.m. that the final data for Week 9 was finally out.
In its ninth week of release, "Full-Band Blocking Interference" grossed $26.53 million worldwide, bringing the film's total box office to $2.88 billion.
