For the vast majority of Chinese, January 1 of the solar calendar does not mean the arrival of the New Year, only the first day of the first lunar month of each year is the real first day of the new year recognized by everyone, so even if it enters January, everyone is working in Nanding Island peacefully, and no one wants to go home or anything, because there is still a period of time before the real New Year - this year's New Year's Day is on February 18.

Everyone on Nan Dai Island, every day is to shoot, call it a day, eat some seafood and look at the sea, etc., it is really a bit of a paradise, but in this information society, the real paradise does not exist, and the news from the outside world will still come to the island, and the timeliness will not be much different.

Right now, for example, Duane is sitting on the living room couch in his room, with his laptop on the coffee table in front of him, and the web page on the monitor is open, showing news on related topics.

"The total box office has achieved another success, "Golden Armor" is expected to surpass "Liberation Day", "The domestic film market has completely detonated", "The box office market that can't see the limit of potential", "Zhang Yi's box office guarantee", "Zhang Yi may regain the first place at the box office", "An overseas miracle that cannot be replicated", ......

"Golden Armor" was released.

The film directed by director Zhang Yi was released on December 15, and after nearly three weeks of screening, the total global box office has now reached 3.28 billion, which includes the contribution of Christmas and New Year's Day, but more prominent is the contribution of the mainland film market.

Of the $3.28 billion global box office, $2.34 billion was contributed by the mainland box office market.

Duane doesn't remember how much of his total mainland box office "Liberation Day" has, but he remembers that the number should not be more than 2 billion, and now it took less than three weeks for "Golden Armor" to exceed this number, and it is no wonder that the media will hype that "Golden Armor" will most likely beat "Liberation Day" to become the new box office champion.

However, unlike the strong box office in the mainland, the overseas box office of "Golden Armor" is very weak: in the North American market, which is the main box office, the total box office revenue of "Golden Armor" in more than two weeks is only 180 million, not even 200 million......

This is a very embarrassing figure, which can be described as a fiasco for a director of Zhang Yi's level, which makes many people surprised and at the same time feels incredible, I don't know how the tastes of the global market have changed. After all, just two months ago, a film with a pure Chinese theme like "Liberation Day" just set off a Chinese style in the global box office market, why is "Golden Armor", which also plays a Chinese style, not popular with people from other countries?

""Golden Armor", a weird movie", in the face of this phenomenon, many media have made such comments on Zhang Yi's work, of course, more of them are still singing praises.

Netease Entertainment reported: "Director Zhang's new work is full of sincerity, it is a great movie, and it is also a drama full of power. It is by no means a soap opera, but a magnificent drama, a thick and inseparable drama about love and death. The film is extremely gorgeous, and this splendor includes not only its tone, but also that wild mood that erupts from it...... The huge mainland box office shows people's love and affirmation of this film, and Zhang Yi has successfully taken another step forward in the balance between art and commerce...... Jay Chou's appearance is probably the most surprising easter egg in the film, and Jay Chou, who starred in a big movie for the first time, performed decently in the film, which satisfied his fans...... While reaping a large number of mainland box office, "Golden Armor" has suffered Waterloo in many overseas markets, for this film adapted from the classic drama "Thunderstorm", the recognition of overseas audiences does not seem to be too high, and the box office performance of the more Chinese-style film "Liberation Day" two months ago...... the successive successes of "Liberation Day" and "Golden Armor" have made Zhang Yi's momentum momentary, and it is rumored that an investor has offered a sky-high price for his new film......"

In the assistant director column of "Liberation Day", Zhang Yi was famous, so many people hung the success of "Liberation Day" with Zhang Yi at that time, and now seeing that the box office of "Golden Armor" is so successful, many people immediately think of "Liberation Day" - look, "Liberation Day" can succeed Sure enough, it is the old man who has contributed the most to it, if you don't believe it, you see, the box office of his new film as the chief director has reached a new high, and the posture is to surpass "Liberation Day".

Such ideas are not uncommon in the comments page of the web news.

""Golden Armor", is the box office going to surpass the rhythm of "Liberation Day"?"

"It should be ten or nine depending on the situation, and it is estimated that it can exceed 4 billion. ”

"The development speed of China's film box office market is too fast, I remember that the total box office of the highest-grossing movies in the last century did not exceed one billion, and now it is directly going to 4 billion, and it will not exceed 10 billion in a few years?"

"The estimate of 10 billion is a bit hanging, but the estimate of 5 billion will take a few more years. ”

"It's all brought by "Liberation Day", as soon as it was released, the entire film market was directly active, if it weren't for it first, "Golden Armor" really doesn't know if it can have its current results. ”

"In the final analysis, it's all Zhang Yi's films, or Lao Mouzi has the ability, I can't count on other directors to watch it, and the development of Chinese films still depends on Lao Mouzi. ”

"Liberation Day" is Duane's movie, and Zhang Yi is just an assistant director. ”

"Upstairs, who doesn't know what's going on inside? People just don't say it, and the real movie is directed by someone with a discerning eye who sees it. ”

"I knew that Du An's "Liberation Day" was stained with Zhang Yi's light, and now I see that it is true. If "Liberation Day" is directed by Zhang Yimou, I estimate that the box office can rush up again. ”

"Zhang Chui just shut up, and don't look at how embarrassing "Golden Armor" is in the overseas market now, so domestic people are stupid and rush to send money. ”

"Duane still has some ability, and he also contributed to the box office of "Liberation Day", but I think the greater credit still goes to the old man. ”……

There is never a shortage of keyboard warriors of all kinds on the Internet, and when he sees what these people say, Duane feels that he is really ashamed to compare with them. One by one, the pointers are the truth, but when you think about it carefully, they are all conjectures, and none of them can stand, Duane of course understands, just just look at it casually and take it as a pleasure.

He clicked into the Sina channel again and looked through the relevant news.

It is still more nutritious to press the press release on the media website.

“…… The total domestic monthly box office in December this year increased by 53.94% year-on-year compared with the same period last year, reaching 3.711 billion, an increase of 21.7% from November this year............ According to the analysis of relevant data analysts, before the 10th of this month, "Golden Armor" will have a great possibility to win the world's first place in the global box office list with a global total box office of more than 4 billion, and Zhang Yi will also regain this glory that belongs to him...... Winning this crown with his most successful commercial work as a director, breaking this record a few years later with the work he participated in, and now regaining this honor with his own work in the same year, Zhang Yi's bond with the championship crown is not deep, and the story in it is more than enough to write a novel......

It was not until the end of the article that Duane was mentioned.

“…… As the chief director of "Liberation Day", Duane completely disappeared after announcing the shooting plan of the new film, and the reporter could not be contacted in many ways, so it was a pity that he could not be interviewed about his visit to him......"

It seems that the outside media want to interview him at the moment, after all, it has only been two months since he won the honor of being the first at the box office, and seeing that the first crown is about to be taken off, the public must be eager to know what his mental journey will be.

But it's a pity that Duane seems to have evaporated from the world in the eyes of the public, no one can find him, and few people know that he is hiding on such a small island, and can't know his mental journey, which is really a pity - more of an itch that gossip can't be satisfied.

“…… Duane's new work is extremely mysterious, and we don't know anything about it other than a few news such as a collaboration with Rising Films, a lot of product placement, and Chow Xingchi being the main character. However, what can be known is that according to Duane's habits and production cycle, this new film is very likely to be released to the public in 2007...... In the turbulent and ever-changing box office market in the mainland, "Liberation Day" has set off another golden wave of box office growth after "Hero", and the total box office of "Golden Armor" will almost be beyond doubt that it will surpass "Liberation Day", and whether Du An's new work can create a box office record again without Zhang Yi's participation may be a major topic in the entertainment industry in the second half of next year......"

Duane looked at several more website reports and found that everyone basically leaned towards "Golden Armor" that would surpass "Liberation Day" at the total box office - not that "Golden Armor" necessarily had more commercial value than "Liberation Day", but because "Liberation Day" was a phenomenal work.

After entering the millennium, there are two works in the world film industry that can be called phenomenal, one is "Hero" - this film directly marks the advent of the era of commercial blockbusters, making the era of more than one billion blockbusters in the past gone forever, and contributing to the first qualitative change in the domestic film market and the international film market, with box office records of more than 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The other is "Liberation Day".

Although it is only a short period of two months, the performance of the film market after "Liberation Day" is obvious to all: "Skywalker" is a movie released in November, this film directed by Ruan Shisheng and starring Zheng Yijian, Feng Delun and others is really not very good, it is simply a saliva film, if it is placed in September this year, the global box office can exceed 300 million The distributor will wake up in the middle of the night laughing, but because it was released in November, the total box office at the time of painting directly rushed to 1.1 billion......

There are many examples of this, such as the crazy popularity of "Liberation Day" and the qualitative change in the film market that has accumulated several years of quantitative changes since "Hero", and the sustained rapid economic growth and the optimization of the employment environment have contributed to this effect, and the result is that the film market has once again developed rapidly - starting in November, as long as a good movie is thrown into the cinema, it can make money.

"Golden Armor" has also benefited from this phenomenon, but it is a big production in itself, and the effect of the performance is naturally more obvious, directly to the extent that it surpasses the box office of "Liberation Day", if it is placed before the release of "Liberation Day", it is almost impossible for it to achieve such a box office. Just like if "Liberation Day" was released in 02, it would never have received a box office close to 4 billion, "Liberation Day" also stood on the shoulders of "Heroes", just like the current "Golden Armor" stepped on the shoulders of "Liberation Day".

"Record-breaking ...... at the box office"

Duane looked at the lines on the monitor and muttered to himself, then finally shook his head and laughed.

"Dreaming. ”

"Truman's World" wants to create a new box office record? He himself was the first to disbelieve it, in his opinion, "Truman" can have a box office of more than one billion yuan can be greatly satisfied, and its focus is not on the box office.

But he won't do nothing.

Looking at this momentum, what follows is a blowout stage at the box office of mainland films, and if he doesn't participate in this time, it will be in vain for him to learn the economy for so many years......

Du sat quietly and looked at the monitor for a while, one thought after another flashed in his head, and finally slowly intertwined these thoughts, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a call.

"Meeting ......"

The overseas account sharing of "Liberation Day" finally arrived a few days ago, so far, the total global box office share of "Liberation Day" of 270 million is all in place, and then there will continue to be dividends in the family market, TV and Internet markets, that is a trickle of water and a long process, don't worry about it for the time being.

270 million funds, throwing there to eat bank interest is obviously a waste, and now, they also have their place to go......

Duane leaned back, leaned back on the sofa, raised his head and closed his eyes, his mind constantly coiling back and forth with the plan he had just been thinking about, coiling and coiling, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously slowly hooked.

Since entering this circle, he Duane is like an outlier and a madman in the entertainment industry, constantly breaking all kinds of rules in this circle, running left and right in it, doing things that violate common sense, which makes many people have a big headache.

But then that's when those people really have a headache. (To be continued.) )
