Chapter 580: The face is full of black
(3rd Update)
When the domestic box office of "Havoc in Heaven" was "earth-shattering", the box office of other countries and regions was not bad.
For example, Xiangjiang has received a total box office of 12.46 million US dollars in six weeks after its release, and it is about to break 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
This result is not only particularly unexpected, but also squeezed into the third place in the total box office list of Xiangjiang's history, only losing to 127 million Hong Kong dollars "Titanic" and 178 million "Avatar", I don't know if I can break the record of the former in the end, as for the latter, it is definitely hopeless.
There is also Wanwan here, which was also released for six weeks, and has accumulated to $19.43 million, about NT$582 million.
It is also squeezed into the fourth place in the total box office of Wanwan's history, and the top three are "Avatar" with 1.1 billion, "Titanic" with 789 million and "Change 3" with 760 million.
In other words, unlike "Wolf Warrior 2", which is cold in Xiangjiang and Wanwan will not be released at all, there is a reason why "Havoc in Heaven" can get so much box office in these two regions.
After all, "Wolf Warrior 2" has a strong sense of nation, and only ghosts can be popular in these two special regions.
And "Havoc in Heaven" is different, there is no other meaning in it, it is a simple mythological movie, or the story of "Journey to the West", which is very familiar to people in both places, and it is not surprising that it is surprisingly good in terms of visual effects.
In the same way, this reason is also valid in many Asian countries, so on the South Korean side, "Havoc in Heaven", which was also released for six weeks, got a total box office of 51.26 million US dollars, mobilizing about 7.45 million people, once again setting a new record for Chinese films in South Korea.
and successfully squeezed into the sixteenth place at the box office in Korean film history, ranking above "Change 1" with 7.4 million people and "Final Weapon: Bow" with 7.47 million people.
Following here in Japan, it has been released for four weeks, and it has received a single-week box office of 6.29 million, 7.21 million, 6.58 million, and 5.23 million US dollars respectively, with a total box office of 61.43 million US dollars, and according to the current exchange rate, it is about 5.57 billion yen.
By the way, don't be surprised that the single-week box office and the total box office don't seem to match, because Japan's single-week box office only counts the results of Saturday and Sunday, and the total box office is naturally a lot more.
Anyway, it seems that the Japanese do like the "Journey to the West" culture, and the box office in four weeks is higher than in six weeks in South Korea.
It's just that this result still hasn't squeezed into the top 100 box office in Japanese film history, and it is the 115th above the 5.55 billion "Under the Red Cliff", which can be regarded as replacing "Under the Red Cliff" as the highest-grossing Chinese film in Japan.
I believe that this ranking will continue to improve, after all, it has already received a box office of 5.57 billion yen in four weeks, and the prospects are still very good.
In addition to Xiangjiang, Wanwan, South Korea and Japan, other countries in Southeast Asia are also in a good situation, with a total box office of 62.35 million US dollars, constantly breaking various records for Chinese-language films.
In the end, "Havoc in Heaven" was in these regions and countries, and got a total box office of 207 million US dollars.
This result, combined with 6.158 billion yuan in the mainland, and then calculated at an exchange rate of 6.25, is about 985 million US dollars, which finally made the global box office of "Havoc in Heaven" reach an astonishing 1.174 billion US dollars, successfully becoming the king of Chinese films.
For this reason, "Havoc in Heaven" also appeared on two editions of the American "Time Magazine" at the same time.
The first version is the American version, and the cover is a movie still of the Jade Emperor played by Fu Luo with a golden flame swimming in the dragon light wheel, and it is accompanied by the text "King of the Gods of the Eastern Heavenly Kingdom", which is probably compared with Zeus in the West.
Then the second edition is the Asian version, and the cover is a picture of Sun Wukong turning into a stone monkey and braving magic flames, with the text "God of War Stone Monkey - Havoc in Heaven".
In short, the crazy results have made "Havoc in Heaven" directly become a Chinese movie that the whole world is paying attention to.
In addition, Dune has reached a cooperation agreement with Universal Pictures to distribute Havoc in other countries and regions except Asia.
It will cooperate with Universal, naturally because the conditions offered by Universal are the best, and only 17% of the issuance fee is charged by the international general practice.
The other five major companies have a minimum issuance fee of 20%, and this lowest price is quoted by Columbia, when Dune took the initiative to find Columbia, the other party had to live or die 35%, which is really greedy.
And Universal is willing to open a 17% contract, mostly because the two "Crime Union" have brought a lot of income to Universal, so this time it is estimated that it is a good show to him, there is money to use to push ghosts, when he still has use value, Universal naturally wants to hold it.
In addition, Universal is also preparing to release "Havoc in Heaven" on March 22, and will invest about $30 million in publicity.
Compared with the cost of $180 million in "Havoc in Heaven", this figure does not seem to be much, and it can even be said to be a little small, after all, the publicity budget of Hollywood blockbusters is getting higher and higher year by year, and it has generally reached sixty and a half percent.
Although the film is very popular in China, the cultural barrier is still a big problem, as long as it is less, it is much more difficult than in Asia.
Just like the Chinese-language movies starring Fu Luo himself, almost none of them will be released in the United States, because they are destined to hit the streets, so it's better not to humiliate yourself.
Putting aside the matter of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", because the third day is already the twenty-third year of the new year, Fu Luo took his two younger sisters who had flown from the capital to Spring City two days ago, and prepared to go back to the valley of Xishan Village to celebrate the New Year.
There are four people in the direction of the three of them, starting at half past seven in the morning, because of the reason that there is a sister Fu You'er, it doesn't seem boring to arrive, who calls the girl more talking, holding Fu Luo's arm along the way, talking about a lot of things in school.
He didn't think there was anything boring, and even Fu Luo enjoyed chatting with his sister like this.
In this way, at about eleven o'clock, a group of four people finally arrived at the entrance of Xishan Village, and then saw a more magical scene through the car window.
There were about three children, all under the age of five, sitting around an iron pot that burned firewood.
And the iron pot is still turned over and covered, and because of the long-term burning of firewood, the bottom of the iron pot is naturally all the kind of thing that is commonly called "pot bituminous coal" and the scientific name is "pot ash".
And this "pot bituminous coal" is a substance as black as coal, and it is really not easy to wash off after being stained.
But at this moment, the three children are paddling rock-paper-scissors, as if whoever loses has to let the winner smear a handful of "pot bituminous coal" on his face.
It can be said that the three children at this time have all become "little black people" with black faces.
When he saw this, Fu Luo couldn't help but laugh out loud, these three little guys are too good at playing, right?
The key is that he also heard a very familiar Tong Yin, but it was Qin Lei, the son of his fifth senior brother Qin Tie, that is, his little nephew who was a little more than three years old.
"Poof!"
Soon, Fu You'er and Qin Yujia also saw this scene, and they also couldn't help laughing immediately, both of them felt that they were really cute three little guys.
Immediately, Fu Luo got out of the car and shouted from a distance: "Little stone!"
