The time entered August, and "Fast and Passion" was released in North America for three months, and finally came to an end. The North American box office exceeded $352.4 million, the overseas box office accumulated $533.8 million, and the global box office accumulated reached $886.2 million. It's the only film in the world to break $800 million at the box office so far this year, and Matrix has reason to announce that a blockbuster franchise will be born.

"Infernal Moment" continued to be released in North America for nearly three months, barely breaking 100 million and winning $102.3 million, which is also the limit, and then arranged to be painted. The overseas box office has not yet exceeded 100 million, with 93 million US dollars, setting a new low for Chen Tiandu's box office. It still hasn't exceeded 200 million yuan in the mainland, and the box office in Hong Kong has reached 55 million, but there is still a gap compared with the first part.

The cumulative global box office of $195.3 million is much less than the $238 million global box office of the first film, but it is still one of the highest-grossing Chinese-language films. The two films in the series can grossed a total of 428 million US dollars worldwide, and after excluding taxes and splitting costs, Matrix can make a profit of about 159 million US dollars, or about 1.3 billion yuan.

Because the production company is matrix peerless, the tax payment has also hit a new high for entertainment companies in recent years. The Beijing Taxation Bureau also specially issued the honorary certificate of advanced tax paying unit. With this achievement, even if Matrix Musou has been just an empty shelf for the past two years, he will not do anything. But with these two films, it has also successfully made it the most dazzling film company in China.

This is an unprecedented achievement of Chinese films, and the "People's Daily" specially published an article to report that the release of the two parts of "Infernal Affairs" ended the sluggish period of the mainland film market in the past ten years. It opened the curtain of China's commercial blockbuster. It is considered a milestone in the "blockbuster era" of Chinese cinema. It has played an important role in promoting the development of China's film industry.

(PS: I recently saw a post in the book review section that someone abandoned the article when they saw me writing "Infernal Affairs", thinking that the old donkey was too crooked.) All I can say is that the American version of "The Departed" can get that kind of box office, and what can't it. Here is the novel, be more tolerant, why add so many shackles to yourself, isn't it enough in reality, it is possible to ...... ）

According to Chinese custom, all staff and leading actors involved in the creation of the film are given a red envelope. The amount varies. It is equivalent to a domestic movie, but it is definitely quite rich. Andy Lau, who received the red envelope, was surprised and called to ask, "Tiandu, did you send the red envelope by mistake, it is too much, and it is worthy of it." ”

"How?" Chen Tiandu said with a smile: "A dime, we definitely earn more, so don't shirk." Andy Lau said helplessly: "Okay, I dislike taking too much with the rich, it seems that I am also a showman." Something to help with. In the future, just say. ”

Chen Tiandu smiled: "I will definitely not be polite." ”

"Pick. Feelings, this is an advance fee. ”

Zhang Ziyi also called and asked if she had received a sum of money. is ten times more than the salary, which makes her very hot. After all, she only made a small cameo appearance in a few scenes, and she just helped the movie run a few places during the promotion, and she didn't do anything.

Chen Tiandu said: "This money is a red envelope, not a salary, so I didn't take the account of your brokerage company." It's also taxed, so you just need to collect it yourself, don't shout. Don't worry, you are not short of money. Zhang Ziyi was moved, "Thank you, Brother Tiandu... Elder brother. ”

"Hehe, let's call it 'Brother Tiandu', Shunkou." Brother Tiandu' is the name of Koreans, and they are used to calling people brother. ”

"Well, thank you, Brother Tiandu." Zhang Ziyi responded sweetly.

Many people who get red envelopes have a kind of pie-in-the-sky surprise, and as soon as there are more people distributing them, the news will inevitably leak out. Hong Kong's "Apple News" reported this gossip, saying: "The curtain has come down on the two tribes of "Infernal Affairs", and the global box office has collected 410 million US dollars, and the crew has given out red envelopes today! All the main creators, including the dragon set roles, according to people familiar with the matter, the amount of red envelopes is much more generous than their salary and remuneration. Guess that the red envelopes of Andy, Hui Tsai and other main creative lineups are over eight figures, and Tiandu Tsai's generosity is really envious of insiders! By the way, ask the director, next time filming, will you still recruit errands? ”

This kind of red envelope behavior has aroused the eyes of the industry. The red envelopes are so generous, and the real income is even more against the sky.

But thinking about every movie before Chen Tiandu made "Infernal Affairs", the global box office has not been less than 600 million US dollars, and these two movies can be regarded as dragging their feet.

Chen Tiandu's situation is also a bit like a fortune boy, handing out red envelopes everywhere.

But for him, that's really just a drop in the bucket. What's more, the first and second two movies of "Infernal Affairs" are not something he can complete alone, from before the start of filming, during filming to after filming to release publicity, there are too many people who contribute to the film. If he swallows the 1.3 billion yuan alone, others won't be able to say anything, at most there will be some "iron rooster" and the like.

Scattered wealth, he was at ease, won fame, and attracted a large number of potential interests, why not.

But Chen Tiandu is not the only outstanding Chinese this month, Chen Long's new film "Rush Hour 2" collected $150 million at the box office in two weeks after its release in North America, and it is expected that the top ten box office movies at the end of the year will definitely have a place for "Rush Hour 2". In this movie, the fledgling Zhang Ziyi once again showed her hand and played a female killer, which was quite eye-catching.

The most eye-catching thing in the mainland film industry is Zhang Yimou's new film "Hero", which cost $30 million, was officially launched in the Jinshan area of Aksaidang. This amount of investment is also staggering to countless people in today's domestic film market. Obviously, they were all stimulated by the box office of "Infernal Affairs" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Fashion dramas are not the strong point of mainland filmmakers, and the main martial arts films are obviously to follow the model of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

This exaggerated amount of investment once again made the media exclaim that the "blockbuster era" is really coming.

The outside world has been full of ups and downs, but it has not affected Chen Tiandu at all. He now enjoys the process very much, working in a place very close to home, living a 9-to-5 life, taking a sip of soy milk, a fritter and a big meat bun to work in the morning. personally supervise the post-editing and soundtrack of "My Sassy Girlfriend" every day.

More often than not, he's flirting...... Wrong, it's to teach Fan and Lin Zhiling how to work.

"How to support an artist, it's not enough for them to play as many plays as they want to receive as many advertising endorsements, to create a star image, a tough guy or a small life. The powerful faction is still an idol faction. The powerful faction can be a little idle, and if you take the idol route, you must pay extra attention to the details. Whether at work or in life, dressing, words and deeds, and manners must be standardized. Otherwise, an inappropriate remark will be enough to ruin all your previous efforts. For example, Zhao Wei wore the wrong Japanese military flag clothes, you all know it. The loss is that the apology is timely and the image is good, otherwise it will be really ruined if you are put on a hat. ”

Chen Tiandu talked eloquently, but the students who sat down had different expressions.

Lin Zhiling has always been a good listener, when you say well, she will give you applause, and when you are cold, she will make a puzzled statement and ask questions. Fan Xiaopang didn't give much face, "It's so difficult, I'm bound, why do I think going to work is much more complicated than acting classes before." ”

"Regrets? It's late! Chen Tiandu smiled and said, "Learn from me honestly, don't think about anything else." ”

"Is it okay to resign?" Fan is chubby and coquettish.

"You dare!" Chen Tiandu glared, and Fan Xiaopang suddenly became a dwarf. Lin Zhiling covered her mouth and snickered.

"If I fire you now, I won't be a slap in the face. When I accepted you, it already damaged my wisdom and martial arts, if you don't earn me back face, then don't think about it in this life. Chen Tiandu said that the saliva was flying, and his mouth was a little dry. I grabbed the cup, only to find it empty.

"I'll come, I'll come......" Huang Bo ran up very doggedly, serving tea and pouring water.

Chen Tiandu praised: "If you do a good job, you will be rewarded with little red flowers." Fan Xiaopang snorted and laughed, and Huang Bo licked his face even more, he was used to it.

Lin Zhiling raised her hand, and Chen Tiandu said, "Ask." ”

Lin Zhiling asked in a snorting voice: "Boss, I want to ask you if you belong to the powerful faction, and whether the powerful artists can be casual." ”

“No！” Chen Tiandu raised his index finger and shook it, and said, "There are two mistakes, first, I am an idol powerhouse, not a pure powerhouse. Like Sun Honglei, he took the route of pure strength. ”

The last student, Sun Honglei was innocently named, and immediately spoke: "Director, am I also an idol?" ”

Chen Tiandu directly ignored him and continued: "The powerful faction can't be casual either, because you are a public figure first and foremost, and your words and deeds are seen by complete fans. The powerful faction can be individual, but it must not be casual. Got it? ”

Lin Zhiling benefited a lot, and kept nodding her cute little head.

Chen Tiandu looked at his watch, "It's almost time, and a guest will come over later." He is here to attract investment for his new TV series, you will review the script first, I will not come forward for the time being, and then I will ask you about the results. Think of it as an exam. ”

"Who?" Sun Honglei interjected.

He was ignored again, because Chen Tiandu had already gone out.

"It's Director Gao Shuqun!" Fan Xiaopang replied to him, and the whole person no longer had the laziness in class just now, and he looked a little nervous. This is her duty, the first time she has been on the job to talk about business.

"I'm so nervous, what should I do, is anyone going with me?"

"What about Manager Hu and Manager Mo?" Sun Honglei asked.

"Oops, they were all sent out on business, not for the website film and television copyright." Fan Xiaopang was impatient, "It's over, it's over, I've seen the director nod and say hello before, but now I actually have to review the script of a big director and decide whether to give him a stab on the head." It's damning. ”

Lin Zhiling smiled: "Don't worry, I'll go with you." ”

"Haha, I knew you would say yes." Fan Yiyi immediately turned anxious, "Sure enough, it's a good sister!" (To be continued......)
