Soon, the global box office situation of "Frozen" was uploaded on the Chinese Internet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Those who frantically criticized this movie and ridiculed Chen Xueqian before were dumbfounded.

In the first week of its release, the total global box office of "Frozen" has reached 100 million US dollars, which means that Chen Xueqian has basically returned to his original cost. And according to the current situation, the box office of the second week can guarantee at least half of the box office of the first week. In this way, Chen Xueqian will definitely not lose money on this movie. It may even make a fortune.

It's just that at this time, the people who attacked Chen Xueqian before in China are holding their breath in their hearts, and they have no reason to speak for a while at this time, but it is impossible to make them succumb.

For this reason, they all gritted their teeth and waited for the box office situation in the second week. They all have a hint of luck at the moment, in case the box office of the first week of the song is just a temporary illusion. Maybe those viewers only went to see this movie because of Chen Xueqian's fame!

In this way, the topic of Chen Xueqian on the Chinese Internet became a lot colder overnight. Everyone is waiting for the latest week's box office data.

The first box office data in China is still China, and the box office of "Kung Fu Panda" dropped by 28 million the next week, while the decline of "Frozen" was not obvious, ensuring a box office of 20 million. If Chen Xueqian's film is only released in China, he will definitely lose money this time. However, Chen Xueqian's latest film has set off a kind of ice and snow frenzy all over the world.

Soon after the Chinese box office came out, the Japanese and Korean box offices, which were in a time zone an hour earlier than China, also came out. Last week, because no one paid attention to it in China, the news of this list was reported the next day.

This time, because Chen Xueqian was so in the limelight before, the media paid attention to the box office of Japan, South Korea and other countries early in the morning.

On the fifth day of the release of "Frozen" in Japan, the number of moviegoers exceeded 1 million, while in South Korea, the number of moviegoers was even crazier, and on the eleventh day, the number of moviegoers in South Korea reached 3 million, far surpassing Japan. Breaking the record of countless foreign language films in South Korea. If it weren't for the relatively cheap ticket prices in South Korea, the box office revenue in South Korea would have surpassed that of Japan.

Immediately, the most important North American box office was also transmitted back to China, and "Frozen" won 35 million box office in the United States the next week, although the box office revenue was reduced to half, but it still firmly suppressed the box office of "Kung Fu Panda", and firmly sat at the top of the weekly box office list.

Immediately, the box office situation of other countries was also transmitted back to China. The value of this series of data is dizzying, and at this point, all the people who used to croak shut up.

For this reason, Lin Wanqiu was excited like a child in Chen Xueqian's office. Almost overnight, this girl became famous at home and abroad, and people who wanted to interview her every day almost blocked the door of the studio. Not only the Chinese media, but countless media, including the United States, have rushed to China. The purpose is to meet this new super rookie director.

Recently, Chen Xueqian has not assigned a new job to the company, and everyone is basically planning for various promotional films and various peripherals of "Frozen". For a long time, Chen Xueqian's movies have never lacked peripherals, and this time "Frozen" was a big hit, and related peripherals were also sold by Chen Xueqian in full swing. And none of this has anything to do with China.

In China, not to mention the periphery of the movie, even the audience of the movie itself is unwilling to spend money to watch it, what else do you expect? And the situation of this movie, which has become popular all over the world, has not improved in China, and the low scheduling rate is still far below "Kung Fu Panda".

After many fans in small cities saw all kinds of magic about this movie on the Internet, they ran to the cinema with excitement, only to find that there were only a few sporadic screenings of this movie throughout the day, and the audience who couldn't buy tickets was at a loss for a while.

Regarding this situation, Chen Xueqian has also negotiated with various movie theater lines many times, but these people completely ignore the business rules and completely expose their purpose of suppressing Chen Xueqian.

Yes, they are suppressing Chen Xueqian, how much potential Chen Xueqian has shown, making them feel like a man, they have already seen Chen Xueqian's ambitions in the cinema chain, so they never want such a behemoth in China to be added.

However, it backfired, and the more they were like this, the greater Chen Xueqian's determination to invest heavily in his own cinema chain.

Unlike the foreign media's reversal of the caliber, the Chinese media has always been deadlocked about the new film by Chen Xueqian's studio. Many people are still waiting for the box office collapse of this movie.

At this time, not only Lin Wanqiu couldn't understand it, but even many netizens couldn't understand it, what do these people want? Can't we see the rise of Chinese films?

In fact, the Chinese film industry at this time was indeed very resistant to the birth of Chen Xueqian's studio.

The phenomenon of seniority has always been serious in China, and the same is true in the film industry. A newcomer entering this industry, without the leadership and support of his predecessors, it will be extremely difficult to get ahead.

And this is still a film director, and it is even more difficult for those film companies to gain a foothold in China. Looking at Chinese film companies in 2016, only two were new. The others are basically established companies. It has always occupied a resource advantage in the industry.

However, the emergence of Chen Xueqian's studio violates all the established rules of the domestic film industry. It is not dependent on any resources from the domestic industry, which means that it is not constrained by any company. This alone makes those industry bigwigs full of uneasiness, because once this studio rises in China, the domestic film market pattern will inevitably change dramatically.

How does this make a group of film companies that have always been able to tear apart in the basic market in China adapt? So in the fear of uncertainty, these film companies have tacitly suppressed Chen Xueqian's studio.

However, all this is destined to be useless, because Chen Xueqian is not an existence that can be speculated by common sense at all.

Those movie bigwigs thought that as long as they joined forces to squeeze Chen Xueqian's living space in China, then at least they could keep the basic domestic market alive.

But Chen Xueqian didn't tear up with them here at all, he still aimed overseas.

News of "Frozen" comes back from overseas every day, and in Japan, the film has been the box office champion for 16 consecutive weeks, surpassing the first week of box office for nine consecutive weeks, and the box office decline has once reversed growth. In the end, the film earned 26 billion yen in Japan, ranking third at the Japanese box office, and the only thing above it was the difficult to shake "Spirited Away" and the big ship "Titanic".

In South Korea, this film has written countless records, the highest-grossing animated film in history, the highest-grossing foreign film, etc., and finally the film has achieved a record of 12 million viewers in South Korea. temporarily ranked third in Korean film and television.

The miracle of "Frozen" is not only played out in these two countries, but also in other places, with North America eventually earning $420 million at the box office, even surpassing the previous performance. Although it is still suppressed by "Despicable Me 2" in the United States, when it comes to the global box office, this movie is beyond imagination, with a global final box office of 1.25 billion US dollars.

When this heaviest result was transmitted back to China, the entire Chinese film industry was silent. In 2008, the total box office of Chinese films was less than 5 billion, which means that all the box office revenues in China combined are not as high as the income of a single film. What's more, this movie has driven the big sales of countless peripheral products.

I can't imagine it, it's hard to believe, it's unacceptable. This is the common thinking of people in China's domestic film industry. The voices that ridiculed Chen Xueqian's incompetence before have long disappeared, and those filmmakers who openly criticized Chen Xueqian for taking too big steps did not dare to appear in front of the camera at this time.

Those famous directors who claim to be the champions of China's box office are even more ashamed. And there has finally been an emotional backlash online.

"A Chinese-made film that sells 1.25 billion yuan worldwide, but only 10% of the film schedule in China, is still the result of Chen Xueqian's own theater encouragement. I just want to ask, what is the standard for film scheduling in China? Shouldn't a good movie be seen by people all over the world? ”

This kind of reprimand is quite polite, and some people asked more directly: "The DreamWorks movie "Kung Fu Panda" was released in China at the same time as the film produced by the Chinese film studio, but the number of films scheduled is 10% and 20%, I want to ask, what is wrong with our country?" Looking at the overseas box office results, "Frozen" is twice as large as "Kung Fu Panda", but even so, in our own home base, our own movies still do not get support, is this a problem with the movie, or a problem with the system? ”

"I still remember when I walked into the cinema with great anticipation to see a movie that was sought after all over the world, the movie was only available at midnight on weekends and not at all at all other times, was it really based on the box office?" (To be continued.) )
