Chapter 468 [Jungle Family Assembly Number (One Update)]
(Return to the wilderness and ask for a monthly pass!)
……
During the release of both films, it was not without challengers.
I don't know if the results of the "Barbossa" documentary stimulated China Film, and a British documentary "Deep Sea Exploration 3D" was released at the same time, and the performance can also exceed 10 million box office, which can be regarded as a big profit.
However, half a month after its release, it also ushered in challenges.
Approaching August, Tom Cruise teamed up with Cameron Diaz to bring the blockbuster "Dangerous Spy War", French director Luc Besson also brought a new comic adaptation of "Adella's Extraordinary Adventure", and the big-name Hong Kong film "City Alert", the popular and powerful idol singer Wang Lihong's first self-directed and self-starred "Fairy" Liu Yifei's "Love Notice" has been released.
The major media believe that the real test of "Barbossa" is coming, and now there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and it is very difficult to break through.
The media's judgment is justified, because these films include almost all the popular elements, Hollywood blockbusters, adventure blockbusters by Europe's most powerful directors. There are also Hong Kong-made action shootouts, love men and women movies, no matter what genre the audience wants to watch, they can be found from the theaters of the same period. On top of that, the pirated resources of the Barbossa have begun to leak out of the market.
It's in HD with Korean subtitles, and it's apparently spread to China from overseas.
In fact, it has been released in North America for so long, and now it is released worldwide, and it is already very good that piracy can be controlled before the premiere in China. If it is compared to the past, I am afraid that the high-definition version will be able to flow out of domestic theaters the next day after the release.
With so many unfavorable factors, it is understandable that the media is not optimistic about the follow-up box office of "Barbossa". The theatrical schedule has dropped sharply from 55% to 35%, but it still ranks first.
The media predicted, "Now we have to say goodbye to the top of the box office." ”
However, after a week, reality has dealt a heavy blow to the hypotheticians-
"Love Notice" won 5.7 million box office on the day of its release, which is not bad, with a total box office of 27.8 million in a week. Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and this kind of romance can obviously be harvested again.
As a typical youth comedy, with handsome men and beautiful women as the selling point, although the plot is extremely naïve, whether it is the plot of a big star pretending to be an ordinary student to chase girls at school, or the trick of the protagonist "pickling girls", it is just a copy of a common Taiwanese idol drama, without any new ideas, which is the biggest taboo in creation.
In addition, in a movie in the film, Wang Lihong sang hard no less than ten times. There are also a number of singers who guest sang, which is clearly a singer's personal MV show. It's all like watching an idol, not like watching a movie, watching a plot.
"City Alert" performed slightly better, which gave "Barbossa" a lot of resistance to a certain extent.
After all, Chinese-language action movies have always been the most representative of Hong Kong films. It's just that this sci-fi film was originally made with the theme of future mutants, but it turned out to be a clumsy imitation of Hollywood. Not to mention the special effects of spicy chicken, they are all in the future, and the fight can't get rid of the hand-to-hand combat of Hong Kong film axes, blades, short sticks, cold weapons, too much show off action, but loses the connotation of science fiction films. The common problem of unclear storytelling has not been eliminated so far.
The crew's touted kung fu is three points stronger than Feng Cannon, what "catch up with Hollywood and be in line with international standards"; Hollywood doesn't know Chinese kung fu, and we only spent more than 10 million on special effects";" Hong Kong directors who can compete with Hollywood, only Chen Musheng "and so on boasted, and they are not afraid of the wind flashing to their tongues."
The two newly released domestic films performed quite well, because the two foreign films released at the same time hit the streets.
Chinese people's awareness of watching domestic films is rising, Tom Cruise and Luc Besson are not used, the reputation is too poor, the scenes and special effects do not conform to the consistent perception of Hollywood blockbusters by Chinese people, and French films have no market and cannot give "Barbossa" much resistance.
Under such contrasts and disappointments, it is even more valuable that "Barbossa" is valuable.
Not only did the box office break through the 600 million mark again or even get infinitely close to 700 million, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before the box office exceeds 700 million. And "The Great Earthquake", which was supposed to be running towards 1 billion, only crossed the 500 million threshold at the box office more than 20 days after its release.
- At least the box office has exceeded 500 million, which is also a big profit.
To some extent, this is also a win-win situation for hype, attacking each other to attract the attention of the media and audiences, and finally joining forces to grab the top and runner-up of the box office list for a week. It's just that whether Huayi is satisfied with this achievement is another matter.
At the same time, there is good news from overseas: the box office of the film in North America has successfully exceeded 129 million US dollars, successfully surpassing "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to become the highest-grossing Chinese film in North America, plus overseas multi-country screenings, the cumulative box office has also reached nearly 60 million US dollars. The best performance in other parts of Asia was in South Korea and Japan, but in Taiwan it was humiliated by some netizens. After all, in their eyes, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" belongs to the glory of Taiwanese films.
Rao is so, coupled with the domestic box office explosion, the global box office of "Barbossa" is infinitely close to 300 million US dollars.
$300 million, of which nearly $200 million came from overseas.
According to the contract with Warner, Chen Ergou can get a share of the overseas box office accounts in Chinese-speaking areas, close to $40 million. There are also later discs, copyrights, and other peripheral income.
You know, the movie's theme song "Victory" has briefly rushed to No. 3 on the Billboard, and these revenues are not counted.
With more than 19 million views on YouTube, it set a new TSFH record and is by far the most popular song of TSFH. The shocking female vocals and chorus, as well as the majestic melody, are enough to conquer the listener's heart.
There is also a domestic account: 3.3% of the special business tax on the deduction of film income, and 5% of the special fund for the film industry. Of the remaining 91.7% of the box office, China Film Digital retains 1-3% of the distribution agency fee. Cinemas share 50%, cinemas share 7%, and producers and distributors share a total of 43%.
The contract with Wanda is 10% of the distribution agency fee, and after deducting the issuance fee, the remaining 33% is the producer, and the profit will be shared with Tang Ren and Panda. Amortized taxes, calculated at a box office of 700 million, only about 150 million fell into the hands of the water dogs.
The media helped him calculate the general ledger, and the total income should not be less than 400 million yuan.
If the amount of the treasure is also included, the amount of this treasure has exceeded 2.8 billion yuan!!
As soon as the figure of 2.8 billion yuan came out, I don't know how many people drooled.
Envy, jealousy and hatred, how can you solve your worries, the only way is to get rich!
The media didn't expect the performance of the Barbossa to be so crazy and sighed.
The movie makes the audience explode, and the audience also makes the box office fly.
At present, in newspapers and periodicals all over the country, on the Internet media, almost all the entertainment pages are dominated by "Barbossa", and all kinds of headlines about "Barbossa" are frantically published.
While the media hyped "Barbossa", it was also accompanied by ridicule of the older generation of film masters such as Feng Dacang and Zhang Guoshi. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has held the box office record of Chinese films for nearly 10 years, and someone has finally broken it. If there is no Chen Ergou, I am afraid that the Chinese North American box office record in the next 18 years will still be it.
Of course, there are also people who denounce "Barbossa" as not a Chinese-language movie. Because in the subtitles of the movie, the behind-the-scenes staff are all Hollywood personnel, except for the people from Reservoir Dogs Studio, and a technical director named "Godan", who is unknown whether it is a man or a woman. They said that this is a documentary made by Hollywood, and the Chinese people have not yet made such a documentary.
ho care?
It's enough for Chen Ergou to star!
Not only in China, but also Warner, the Hollywood distributor, and even Chen Ergou himself, did not expect this documentary to have such an achievement!
With its excellent quality, super high reputation and Chen Ergou's personal charm, "Barbossa" has picked out powerful opponents one after another.
This time, the Reservoir Dogs Studio is famous all over the country, and it can be regarded as a proper hatred!
Chen Ergou was also content, but he was too late, and he disappeared in the last week of the release. There were still many scheduled promotional events, which were also cancelled.
The latest post on Weibo was a photo of him playing a game within a week after the premiere, and the grown up Rengar crawled sticky on his head, face, and body.
In the next ten days, when he was at the peak of his popularity in China, this Weibo also received a record-breaking number of more than 2 million likes, and countless comments and retweets.
"I want to be that panther. ”
"Is the panther so clingy, it's more greasy than my cat~"
"What I'm most worried about has happened, Rengar has gained weight~~ Meow, the dog should pay attention to let it exercise more!"
"Enlarged the photo, it seems to expose something! Is the dog playing LOL, or is he in a double row with people?"
"Who's that 'through your hair my steel gun' ID, what a vulgar ID, the first time I knew LOL's name could be so long?"
"Ask for live broadcast to play games, ask for live broadcast and PDD double row!"
"Ask for live broadcast +1......"
Fans were eager, but couldn't get a response. Not only did they start to worry about whether the dog master would not do his job properly after he became popular, and he would not broadcast live from now on, right? For such a person who is not bad for money, what do you take to bind him.
Some people speculate that he will transform into the entertainment industry to film in the future, and some people say that he will go to Hollywood to develop. Some people scolded him for being inflated, and some people started to preach early: Disperse, scatter, scatter, and there will be no more live broadcasts.
So what did Chen Ergou do again after so many days?
Just as fans were waiting, new news suddenly came out on Mango Channel's official Weibo, and a poster with seven people's avatars was released.
The background of the poster is a strange island pattern, surrounded by towering ancient trees and a mess of vines. Spiders, vipers, and scorpions disappear.
The person standing in the middle of the poster group of seven is none other than Chen Ergou, who has not spoken for a long time.
I saw that in the poster, he was stuck in his belt with a single knife, a bundle of nylon ropes on his shoulders, a cowboy hat, a little black panther with super camera grabbing ability at his feet, and a vicious golden eagle standing on his shoulders that had obviously grown a lot.
To his left and right, three figures stand on each side.
I don't know who it is just by looking at the silhouette, but I can only vaguely distinguish that there are two women with long hair and shawls and slender figures.
"The Law of the Jungle" officially sounded the rallying call, and Mango Satellite TV will join hands with Reservoir Dogs Studio and Panda TV to create a large-scale real-life survival record program in the summer!
"We will explore the primeval jungle without modern civilization and star social attributes, through 24-hour non-stop, non-intervention shooting, and live broadcast of the whole process, in the non-animal world of the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest, this is the law of the jungle. ”
"During the filming, we will be far away from all modern civilization, there are no stars here, and all the members of the jungle family will really turn back into ordinary people who are trying to survive. In the primeval jungle and tribes, no one knows who they are, and there are no fans or agent teams to send warmth, everything depends on themselves, self-reliance, and survival in the jungle and wilderness!"
"So this time, the omnipotent dog master, can he still be Kerry all over the audience?"
"The countdown to the start of the broadcast, seven days!"
