The duel between the two sides in the summer file is becoming increasingly hot, and a big discussion has been set off on the Internet about who will win the "summer file Sino-US showdown". [No pop-up novel network]

Fans on both sides are entangled in various votes and discussions.

At this moment, in the offices of China Film and Columbia, which is responsible for the introduction of summer films, both Han Sanpin and Ed Wharton feel an incomparable sense of oppression, and this kind of evenly matched hold caught both sides off guard.

Ed Wharton yelled angrily at the subordinates of the Propaganda Department at the meeting: "What's the matter, how did you let "Red Cliff" get a single-day box office of 27 million!? In the "Transformers" record has already been broken!? ”

"With an investment of 600 million yuan, this film is the largest investment in the history of Chinese cinema, and it is not surprising that it broke the record...... "A sales manager wiped the sweat from his forehead to explain.

"Could it be that Wu Yusen is more powerful than Michael Bay?" Ed Wharton stared at him angrily: ""Superman Hancock for All" has invested 900 million yuan, is Will Smith not as good as Liang Chaowei?" ”

Ed Wharton's roar echoed in the conference room, no one dared to answer his question, as the person in charge of this summer file introduction, Ed Wharton is understandable for being out of control, because in China's summer file, there has never been a Hollywood movie that will be threatened by Chinese films.

Not to mention catching up, I can't even touch the corners of my clothes, this time I turned around and found that the other party was suddenly running side by side beside me, that kind of panic and surprise was really difficult to accept.

In the conference room of China Film Group, the atmosphere was also very heavy, Han Sanpin flipped through the data of various theaters, constantly calculated the data, and made complex calculations, I don't know how long it took for Han Sanpin to stop writing.

"Did you come out?" Han Xiaoli asked nervously beside him.

"En......" Han Sanpin nodded. said with a solemn expression: "I think that according to this momentum, the box office of "Red Cliff" should be able to break 100 million in the first week, and the overall mainland box office should be around 300 million......"

"300 million." Han Xiaoli couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly, if this number comes true, this will surpass the record of last year's "Transformers" and will become the second place in mainland film history!

But Han Sanpin's face did not show the slightest excitement, and he said in a deep voice: "But "Superman Hancock", "Kung Fu Panda", and "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" will all have a final box office of more than 100 million...... And depending on the situation, the momentum of "Kung Fu Panda" may reach 200 million ......"

Han Xiaoli listened, and his voice cooled down: "In other words, our total box office will lose 100 million ...... Hollywood?" ”

The senior executives of China Film in the conference room glanced at each other and did not speak.

Although "Red Cliff" has a good momentum this time, after all, this is a head-to-head showdown between the two major film forces in China and the United States, and it is far from enough to rely on the 300 million box office of "Red Cliff......

Han Xiaoli couldn't help but scolded regretfully: "Alas! It's all to blame Huayi's side for not being angry, why does "Lost Orphan" only have a box office of less than 50 million? ”

To win Hollywood this time, the three major domestic film giants must work together, but I didn't expect Huayi, one of the three giants, to drop the chain like other small film companies......

If Huayi can keep up, even if "Orphaned" only gets 100 million box office, it can tie with Hollywood at this stage.

"We did everything we could." Han Sanpin's face was indifferent, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said:

"This time the result is no longer something we can control, it's just up to Gu Xiaofan's side."

Gu Xiaofan? When everyone heard this word, they all looked at each other, and the completion of the editing of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is still unknown, can you count on him?

"Mr. Han, do you really think Gu Xiaofan's "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" can exceed 300 million?" Han Xiaoli also spread his hands impatiently and said with a wry smile:

"Our "Red Cliff" invested 600 million to hope to smash 300 million domestic box office, and he only invested more than 100 million in "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", I think the box office will be 200 million at the top......"

Everyone looked heavy when they heard it, now they have lost almost 100 million at the box office in Hollywood, even if "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" can really win the same 300 million report card as "Red Cliff" for the first time...... I'm afraid the ending is the same.

And what's even worse is that the situation that "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" will face is more dangerous than their "Red Cliff".

Next week, at the same time as them, is the popular "Iron Man", which has won $550 million at the global box office and is the global box office champion this year, and a week later, Spielberg's legendary series "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" starring Harrison Ford is the finale in the summer file war......

No matter how you look at these two movies, the box office is unlikely to exceed 100 million...... After all, Hollywood will still be invincible in this summer file.

What's more, when "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" was released, competitors would add their "Red Cliff", as well as the popular "Kung Fu Panda" and "Superman Hancock for All......

At the same time, in the mainland market, it is necessary to face five opponents with a box office of more than 100 million, and even "miracle fan" may not be able to create miracles......

In the next week, things were almost exactly the same as Han Sanpin's prediction, "Red Cliff" beat the crowd and won a box office result of 130 million in a single week, breaking the single-week box office record of "Transformers" in one fell swoop, and according to this momentum, breaking the 300 million box office mark is just around the corner.

At the same time, "Superman Hancock" did not disappoint, under the strong pressure of "Red Cliff", it won a single-week result of 69.23 million, ranking second on the box office list, and "Kung Fu Panda", which was released for two weeks, continued to gain momentum and also won a report card of 63.24 million, while "The Chronicles of Narnia", which was already lacking in stamina, still won 12 million at the box office and ranked fourth.

The entire box office list is evenly matched, although it makes the Hollywood camp pinch a cold sweat, but they still feel that they are at ease, after all, there are still two trump cards in the hands of "Iron Man" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4", no matter how much they will not lose to a movie "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".

July 5, 2008, Supreme Court of California.

The small courtroom was packed, and there were many American and Chinese journalists who did not carry cameras in the auditorium, as well as Chinese fans who had come to show their support.

In the front row, Liu Shishi, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Huan and others were all waiting anxiously.

George Odom, a bald-looking judge in a black suit and with a serious face on the bench, looked down at the case on the desk.

From the first trial to the verdict, it has been under the attention of the national media, and whether the "villain director Gu Xiaofan" is guilty or not, his verdict will cause huge controversy.

He looked up at Gu Xiaofan, who looked calm and calm next to him, and Lance, a confident lawyer on the other side, and said, "Please make the final closing arguments between the prosecution and the defense." ”
