The box office of "Time and Space Warrior" on the last day was 2.65 million, and the total box office reached 359.5 million, which was 500,000 more than the 359 million of "Titanic", and successfully reached the top!

This day has become a day worth remembering in the history of Chinese films!

On this day, Zhang Ran broke the record held by "Titanic" for nearly 7 years, and washed away the shame that had been pressed on Chinese films for 7 years!

In 2002, Zhang Yimou led Jet Li, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung and other six superstars to challenge the record of "Titanic", and finally ended in a fiasco.

Two years later, Zhang Ran challenged the record. This time, Chinese cinema has finally regained lost ground!

The next day, all the entertainment newspapers went crazy, and the headlines on the front page were undoubtedly all about Zhang Ran and the record-breaking news of "Time and Space Warrior", the record of "Titanic", which had been maintained for seven years, and now it was finally broken by China's own movies!

"Time Warrior" not only set a new box office record for domestic films in the mainland, but also swept the overseas records of Chinese films.

The box office record holder for Chinese films in Japan was Zhang Yimou's "Hero" with 4.05 billion yen, while "Time Warrior" was released in Japan for 7 weeks and won 6.5 billion yen, becoming the top Chinese film in Japan.

"Time and Space Warrior" was released in South Korea for 7 weeks and achieved a total of 4.35 million viewers, surpassing the 1.21 million people of "Hero" and becoming the first Chinese film in South Korea. The ticket price in South Korea was about $7, and the final box office was $30.45 million, which directly entered the top 30 of the Korean historical film box office list.

In addition, "Time and Space Warrior" achieved a box office of 52.5 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, 450 million NT$ in Taiwan, 3.35 million US dollars in Indonesia, 4.54 million US dollars in Malaysia, 4.95 million US dollars in Singapore, and 4.4 million US dollars in Thailand...... Across Asia, "Time Warrior" ended up grossing $150 million.

The box office of "Time and Space Warrior" in North America is 150 million US dollars, plus the box office of 210 million in France, the United Kingdom, Italy and other regions, the final box office of "Time and Space Warrior" worldwide is 510 million US dollars, which is converted to 4.182 billion yuan!

In 2003, the total box office of the mainland was only 1.8 billion, and the box office of Zhang Ran's film was more than twice the annual box office of the mainland. This achievement has shattered countless domestic directors who aim for a box office of tens of millions, and they are making a hundred movies, and the box office may not be as good as a movie!

This is really more human than human, infuriating!

When "Time and Space Warrior" was just established, many people waited to see Zhang Ran's jokes, thinking that a new director who had only made two small-budget movies was looking for death to make a blockbuster with an investment of 120 million, and they were all waiting to see the jokes of "Time and Space Warrior", but they didn't expect "Time and Space Warrior" to sweep the world and achieve an amazing box office, these people who were waiting to see Zhang Ran's jokes were like being slapped in the mouth, and they were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood!

When countless people cheered for "Time and Space Warrior" breaking the record of "Titanic", some people questioned: "The starring role of "Time and Space Warrior" is a Hollywood star, the technology is Hollywood technology, and he still speaks English. Can such a movie be regarded as a Chinese film? "Time and Space Warrior" breaking the record of "Titanic" is not a victory for Chinese films, but a victory for Hollywood films!"

In fact, some people have questioned it before, and Zhang Ran gave a targeted answer. Some fans moved Zhang Ran's original answer out: "Half of the film actors are Chinese, half of the main creators of the film are Chinese, the director is Chinese, and the main investment in the film also comes from China, which is of course a Chinese film." ”

Immediately afterwards, someone claimed on the Internet that he met Zhang Ran when he was on a plane and saw that Zhang Ran was holding a U.S. passport. Zhang Ran is not a Chinese national, but an American citizen for a long time.

Netizens said that "Time and Space Warrior" does not belong to Chinese movies, and Zhang Ran is too lazy to refute it now, the movie has been released, and it makes little sense to dwell on these things. However, to say that he is an American citizen is purely slanderous, and it seems to be a trivial matter, but once it spreads, the impact is very bad, and it must be clarified immediately, otherwise it will be difficult to clean up once it spreads.

Zhang Ran directly posted a photo of his Chinese passport, posted it to his own post bar, and wrote: "Life is Chinese, death is Chinese death!"

As soon as netizens looked at the photos posted by Zhang Ran, they knew that someone was deliberately smearing, copying and moving bricks one by one, and scolding the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the rumor-mongers.

Zhang Ran breathed a sigh of relief, a turmoil was strangled in the cradle, and no one would talk about this in the future.

Immediately afterwards, some people questioned that "Time and Space Warrior" broke the record of "Titanic" without gold content, and "Time and Space Warrior" was able to break the record of "Titanic", which is not entirely due to quality, but largely depends on the expansion of market capacity. The number of screens of the movie is much more now than when "Titanic" was released, and the market is much better. If "Titanic" is released in 04, the box office is likely to exceed 500 million!

Netizen Zhang Ran's missing sentence suffocated the doubter out of internal injury: "It's useless to find 10,000 reasons, the facts cannot be changed, "Time and Space Warrior" just broke the record of "Titanic"!

Just when there was a lot of discussion on the Internet about "Time and Space Warrior" topping the box office, the box office shares from all over the world hit Zhang Ran's account one after another. The copyrights of "Time and Space Warriors" in East Asia are all bought out, and the box office has nothing to do with Zhang Ran. Therefore, the box office that Zhang Ran can participate in is not 500 million, but 400 million US dollars.

After deducting the theater share, publicity expenses, various taxes, and Luc Besson, Keanu Reeves, and their shares, Zhang Ran finally got 60 million US dollars!

The box office of 510 million is only 60 million, which sounds like little profit. But compared to other Hollywood blockbusters, "Time Warrior" is already very profitable.

Hollywood blockbusters are very amazing at the box office, but in fact, blockbusters basically don't make money if they only rely on the box office. Because the investment in blockbusters is very high, the cost of publicity and distribution is also very high. Take "Interstellar" as an example, the global box office of the movie is 672 million US dollars, but the cost of the movie is 165 million, plus the global publicity and distribution fee of 145 million, a total of 310 million, relying on the box office is not at all. Finally, with the addition of DVDs, and other revenues, Warner also only received $48 million on "Interstellar".

The bulk of Hollywood blockbuster revenue is not from the box office, but from peripherals such as DVDs and television. DVDs are generally released about 6 months after the release of the movie, and this part of the revenue from "Time Warrior" will not come out until the beginning of next year. However, the North American pay TV and online TV rights of "Time and Space Warrior" were sold for 30 million, and the overseas TV rights in other regions were sold for 40 million, and Zhang Ran got 42 million.

The two incomes add up, Zhang Ran got 102 million US dollars, these are the profits obtained by Zhang Ran, converted into RMB is 820 million!

Based on the performance of "Time and Space Warrior", the DVD should bring Zhang Ran an income of five or six million US dollars, and Zhang Ran's final income should be about 1.5 billion yuan.

A movie, earn 1.5 billion!

If this data is released, I don't know how many directors in China will go crazy. For domestic directors, let alone an income of 1.5 billion, even if they can get 10 million income, it is a huge success.

Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind!

Zhang Ran knew this truth, so when he participated in the celebration reception held by China Film for "Time and Space Warrior", he complained to the media with a depressed face: "The copyright of the film is bought out. The box office has nothing to do with me at all, I should have shared it if I knew it, and it was really a big loss!"

Hearing that Zhang Ran lost a lot, many dark people felt like eating ice cream, full of comfort, it should make you proud!

Zhang Ran really didn't feel proud at all, and still went to school as usual and took the students in the class to rehearse the graduation play.

This morning, Zhang Ran had just walked to the door of the office when the phone rang suddenly. It was Chen Jianfeng's call. Let him go to the dean's office.

Zhang Ran came to Chen Jianfeng's office, sat down on the sofa, and asked, "Dean, what is going on?

Chen Jianfeng looked at Zhang Ran and smiled: "I have something to tell you." The day after tomorrow, a delegation will come to our school for an exchange visit, and they have made a request, that is, to see your class!"

Zhang Ran frowned and said: "Our class is rehearsing the graduation drama, and we are so busy that we are so busy, where is there still time to go to class." If they want to watch, just come and see us rehearsal, rehearsal is our class!"

Chen Jianfeng looked at Zhang Ran and said seriously: "The other party wants to see you take a class, so you should arrange a class!"

Zhang Ran was a little disgusted with this kind of thing, shook his head and said: "Everything that should be taught has been taught, there is nothing to teach, now it is a big show." What kind of delegation?"

Chen Jianfeng said: "The Faculty of Arts of Nihon University and the Faculty of Arts of Chung-Ang University in South Korea are asking for the Faculty of Arts of Nihon University!"

Zhang Ran is not too familiar with the Faculty of Arts of Nihon University, but the National University of the Arts of Chung-Ang University in South Korea knows that Zhang Nara graduated from this school, and I heard her say that many Korean actors graduated from this school. However, he felt a little strange: "How could they come to our school together?"

Chen Jianfeng explained: "They were invited to visit China Opera, and they are going to establish the Asian Theatre Education and Research Center together with China Opera, and we at Nortel are the objects of their investigation. ”

"Asian Theatre Education and Research Center?"

"Yes, China Opera, Nihon University and Chung-Ang University in Korea plan to establish a mechanism to connect various drama education institutions in Asia, enhance cooperation and exchanges between Asian countries and regions in drama education, academic research, stage practice, etc., provide a platform for research and exchange, and promote the sustainable development of drama education. ”

Zhang Ran understood a little: "Although our Nortel is a film school, the performance theory comes from drama, and the training method also comes from drama. Japan is very strong in theater, it has its own theory, and it has its own training methods, and we can learn from each other's strengths by setting up this center, and we should really join in. ”

Chen Jianfeng laughed: "We Nortel have to show our strength in performance training, otherwise even if we join the research center, we will not have the right to speak." It just so happens that the Japanese want to see you in class, so you can show them your hand!"

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "I understand." However, there is still no need to arrange a special class, that would be too deliberate. Let them watch the rehearsal of the students in our class, and the rehearsal can also show the strength of the students. ”

Chen Jianfeng was not reluctant: "Then according to your ideas." I only ask for one thing, show your strongest strength!

"I know!" Zhang Ran stood up, "Dean, then I'll go to class." ”

Chen Jianfeng waved his hand: "Go!"

Zhang Ran smiled, took his teacup, and left the dean's office. (To be continued.) )
