In North America, which Zhao Zhenghao values most, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is also highly sought after by fans. Ｘ

Zhao Zhenghao created a martial arts world with oriental charm for them, which fascinated American fans.

Two days after its release, there have been 100,000 people who have rated "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on the largest film review website in the United States, with a freshness of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes!

Judging from this point alone, American fans love this film more than Dragon Kingdom fans.

Professional film critics in the United States also highly recommend "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", with a comprehensive score of 85 points from many media, the highest score in their hands in recent years.

With the blessing of high word-of-mouth, after entering the second week of release, the box office trend chart of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is perfect, with a weekly box office of 2.5 billion in Dragon Country and a weekly box office of 230 million US dollars in North America.

Less than ten days after its release, the cumulative box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the Dragon Kingdom has broken through the 4 billion mark, reaching 4.2 billion, and the 5 billion mark is no longer a concern, and the next target should be 6 billion, 7 billion, and even a new box office record!

In North America, two weeks after its release, the cumulative box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also reached 360 million US dollars, which has broken the North American box office record of Dragon Kingdom movies!

However, the test of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is also coming.

After entering July, a large wave of highly anticipated blockbusters were released one after another, menacing, forming a global encirclement and suppression of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Whether "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can continue the myth that each of Zhao Zhenghao's movies has a higher box office than the previous one, it depends on whether it can withstand this wave of pressure.

After nearly ten days of box office hits, when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" entered the third week of release, due to the sharp decline in the film scheduling rate and the increase in strong competitors, the box office trend curve finally showed a relatively obvious decline.

In North America, Europe and other regions where Hollywood's influence is more profound, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" began to decline, and soon gave up its position at the single-day box office, dominating the weekly box office list for two consecutive weeks, and it could only be handed over.

But in the Dragon Country, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" withstood the impact of Hollywood blockbusters with the support of the majority of fans, although the single-day box office champion changed hands in the middle of the week, but in two days over the weekend, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made a comeback, re-ascended to the position of single-day box office champion, and won the weekly box office champion in one fell swoop.

This week, the cumulative box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has dropped significantly compared with the previous two weeks, only a little more than 1.6 billion, which is not as high as the cumulative box office of the two-day weekend in the first week.

The lead of the second and third places in the box office list is not as obvious as the previous two weeks, only 20 million more than the second place.

However, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which withstood the pressure, still accumulated its Dragon Country box office to 5.8 billion!

According to the current situation, it is not easy to break the historical box office record of Dragon Kingdom movies created by "Infernal Affairs 1", but the box office of Dragon Kingdom has exceeded 7 billion, and it is still very promising to compete for the annual box office champion of Dragon Kingdom in 2019.

The reason why "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was able to achieve a Jedi counterattack in the Dragon Country is naturally because this is Zhao Zhenghao's basic plate, and the right time and place are all on Zhao Zhenghao's side, when the single-day box office is surpassed by Hollywood blockbusters, not only "Zhenghao Studio" and Penguin Pictures are stepping up publicity, and even peers, fans, and even film authorities are spontaneously helping "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to promote.

Many loyal fans of Zhao Zhenghao called friends to make two or three brushes of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The major theaters that have always been mercenary, and the film scheduling rate only follows the attendance rate, this time they also sacrificed themselves for others, and forced the attendance rate of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which was already much worse than before, and arranged a few more shows, not to increase the box office results of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but just to limit the box office results of its competitors.

In North America, the situation is reversed from the Dragon Kingdom, the right time and place are not on the side of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and in the face of menacing competitors, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has little resistance, and the cumulative box office in the third week is only a little more than 100 million US dollars, only half of the week's champions.

However, even so, the cumulative box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in North America has reached 460 million, and there should be no problem to break through 500 million.

You must know that before this, the box office record of Dragon Kingdom films in North America was still set by "A Chinese Ghost Story", which was only a little over 200 million US dollars, and now "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has directly more than doubled this record, which is not remarkable.

To be honest, although the performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the Cannes Film Festival confirmed that European and American fans are more accepting of this kind of film, Zhao Zhenghao did not expect that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" would perform so well at the box office in North America!

The goal he set for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in North America in advance is only $300 million, breaking the box office record of Dragon Kingdom films held by "A Chinese Ghost Story".

I didn't expect the final box office to be so high, which is really a surprise.

The high box office naturally means that more people like more people to watch it, which has laid a solid mass foundation for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to compete for the "Best Foreign Language Film Award" at next year's Academy Awards.

According to the selection criteria of the Academy Awards, the "Best Foreign Language Film Award" needs to be voted on by all members of the academy, and if you want to get more members' votes, you first need those members to know the film and have seen the film.

For a foreign film without Hollywood genes, it is not easy for all members of the academy to know and watch it!

Now, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has done that with ease!

Judging by its box office performance after its release in North America, as long as people in the film industry are not aware of it! Even the vast majority of people have voluntarily paid for tickets to go to theaters to see it!

After a period of release, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has a slight decrease in the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes on the largest film review website in the United States, but it also remains at a high level of 85%, which is much higher than the Hollywood superhero blockbuster that came from behind at the box office.

From this point of view, American audiences are still blue-eyed about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

After that, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" continued to be released in North American theaters for three weeks, with a total of 37 days of release, which also set a new record for the number of days of Dragon Kingdom films in North America, and finally reached 540 million at the box office.

This result finally ranked third in the 2019 North American annual box office list!

A Dragon Kingdom film can enter the top three of the annual box office list in North America, which is something that no one dared to imagine before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

In Dragon Country, the number of days of release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was as high as 51 days, and the final box office accumulated as high as 7.58 billion, winning the 2019 Dragon Kingdom annual box office champion!

This is already Zhao Zhenghao's directorial work, and it has won the annual box office championship of Dragon Kingdom for the second time!

This is still because the box office of the two parts of "Journey to the West" is calculated separately, if "Journey to the West" is regarded as a movie and the box office is cumulatively calculated, then there will be one more annual box office champion of the Dragon Kingdom in the hands of Zhao Zhenghao!

On the Dragon Kingdom historical box office list, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also entered the top five, making Zhao Zhenghao the only big director on the Dragon Kingdom history box office list with two films with a box office of more than 7 billion!

The previous "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Marrying" both had box office of more than 5 billion, which also made Zhao Zhenghao the only super director with four films with a box office of more than 5 billion on the historical box office list of the Dragon Kingdom!

In addition to Dragon Kingdom and North America, the box office accumulation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in other regions has also reached 5 billion Dragon Coins, which makes the global box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as high as 15 billion Dragon Coins, surpassing "Infernal Affairs 1" in one fell swoop and becoming the global box office champion of Dragon Kingdom films!

Similarly, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" relied on this achievement to beat all opponents and win the global box office championship in 2019, which can be regarded as revenge for being suppressed by the overtaking in North America!

This is also the second consecutive time that Zhao Zhenghao's directorial work has won the annual global box office champion!

Although the North American box office of "Infernal Affairs 1" is not as high as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", its Dragon Country box office and Asian box office are high, and the global box office is nearly 15 billion, which is only 30 million less than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Following "Infernal Affairs 1", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", as a model of film that balances business and art, will forever be recorded in the film history of Dragon Kingdom and even the world!

Even if next year's Academy Awards are not awarded to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it will not affect its historical status and greatness in the slightest!

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" deserves the title of "great movie"!

After the movie was officially released, Zhao Zhenghao only took the crew members and ran a week of publicity, and when he saw that the overall situation had been decided, he pushed the follow-up publicity work to Yi Ping, Xiang Yazhen, Xie Xin and others, and he picked on his own to be lazy.

Yi Ping, Xiang Yazhen, Xie Xin and others are happy about this.

Although Yi Ping is the first actress in the Dragon Kingdom, and she has won more than she can count the actress trophies, it just means that she has reached the peak in art, and in business, before that, she did not have too many achievements worthy of praise.

Of course, this is mainly related to the films she received before, most of which are art films!

No matter how good an art film is, it can't be compared with a commercial blockbuster at the box office!

Not every director can make classics like Zhao Zhenghao, "Infernal Affairs" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which are both artistic and commercial.

Although it is difficult for Yi Ping to win any awards for her performance in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", her performance level in the film is as wonderful as ever, but the role she plays in the movie has limited space to display, and her superb acting skills cannot be fully displayed.

However, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is her first film that has a box office of more than one billion.

And it soon became more than 2 billion, 3 billion, 4 billion, 5 billion, 6 billion, 7 billion! The final box office was fixed at 7.5 billion, ranking fifth in the historical box office list of Dragon Kingdom, and the double champion of Dragon Kingdom and the global box office in 2019!

Such an achievement completely broke the rumor of Yi Ping's "box office poison"!

It's not that Yi Ping can't make a high-grossing movie, but she hasn't met the right script, the right director, and the right partner!

Moreover, Yi Ping's harvest in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not limited to this.

As one of the top actresses in the comprehensive ranking of Dragon Kingdom in recent years, Yi Ping can ask for a share of the box office when she takes over the filming.

Since Yi Ping took over the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", she was temporarily entrusted, in order to express her sincerity, "Zhenghao Studio" had a box office sharing clause in the contract given to her.

Although it cannot be compared with Zhao Zhenghao's high score of 20% of the global box office profit, Yi Ping can only get 5% of the box office profit of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but the box office performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is super good!

At the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", as the producer, "Zhenghao Studio" can get a 40% share, which is higher than the general standard in the industry.

The reason why "Zhenghao Studio" was able to get such a high share is because the box office performance of the first few films they produced was better than the other, which made "Zhenghao Studio" full of confidence when negotiating the sharing ratio with the theater chain.

If the total box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is calculated according to 7.5 billion, 40% is 3 billion! After deducting the production cost of 500 million, the net profit is 2.5 billion!

5% of 2.5 billion is 125 million!

Counting Yi Ping's salary for filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is 50 million, that is to say, Yi Ping's income from the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" alone is as high as 175 million!

Zhao Zhenghao's income is of course higher, his salary in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" plus box office share, the total income will not be less than one billion!

Of course, Zhao Zhenghao earns a lot and pays a lot, Yi Ping is just one of the two heroines of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but Zhao Zhenghao is also the director, screenwriter, and male protagonist of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and at the same time he also has the title of a producer, wearing multiple hats!

However, making money has never been the most important thing for Yi Ping, with her fame, as long as she is willing to take on popcorn commercial films, the salary can talk about 100 million!

was able to take over the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" this time, An Shuyi's request was only a secondary factor, and he was quite satisfied with the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
