0314 【Conquest of Asia】
The mainland film market in 2009 was a record year, and more than 10 films have exceeded 100 million yuan at the box office this year. Among them, "Transformers 2: The Comeback" is 422.9 million yuan, which is temporarily the same as "Old Boy", which was released for a week.
and the 60th anniversary gift film "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" directed by Han Sanye followed with 419.92 million yuan. Dream Chasing Golden Harvest's "October Siege" and "The Wind" have achieved good results of more than 200 million.
However, none of their films have achieved as good results as "Old Boy" in a week, and the Chinese film industry is destined to be dominated by Shao Shuaijun this year.
"Thorn Tomb" and "Fengyun 2", which were originally scheduled to be released on December 9, and "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" released on December 11, the producers and distributors all lamented. You said Shao Shuaijun, you will come back when you come back, anyway, ours is a big production, you just make a youth film that costs less than 20 million, what about the schedule conflict.
As a result, a youth film of less than 20 million yuan got more than 400 million yuan in a week, what kind of trouble is this, and it doesn't let people live?
The movie tickets for several movies have been pre-sold, and I can't change the schedule if I want to.
And "2012", which was previously a hit in China, was developed by disaster film professional Hu Luolan. The disaster blockbuster directed by Emmerich and invested more than 200 million US dollars by Columbia Pictures has won more than 300 million yuan at the box office in just half a month. Whether it is the distributor Huaxia and China Film, or the investor Sony Columbia, Duxi believes that the film has exceeded 400 million yuan. Reaching the top of the year is not a problem.
But "Old Boy" just came out, and "2012" withered like a dive, and only got a pitiful box office of less than 10 million yuan this week, and the box office of 350 million yuan could not be obtained. Recently, the copyright negotiations between Summit Entertainment and Sony about Spider-Man have not been going well, and Shao Shuaijun is a small revenge, at least making "2012" earn 100 million less at the box office.
If you include South Korea, Japan, and other parts of Asia, "2012" has lost even more.
Another high-profile blockbuster "Avatar" was obtained by Taisheng Culture, and now the person in charge of Taisheng Culture is said to have burned high incense at home. Because they decided to go with the flow. It was released in December, and after thinking about it, I arranged the movie to be released on January 4 next year.
In retrospect, it was definitely a wise decision. Bodhisattva bless.
A few families are happy and a few are sad. "Oldboy's road to wreak havoc in Asia" continues. Following the news of the summit from South Korea and Japan, the news of the summit also came from Malaysia.
The box office record for Chinese-language films in Malaysia is held by "Yangtze River No. 7" directed by Zhou Xingxing last year. The total box office is $3.69 million. Now "Oldboy" has unrivaled momentum, not only winning the weekly championship, but also directly getting $2.4 million.
This data has surpassed Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" by 2.37 million and squeezed into the top three Chinese films in Malaysia, second only to "Yangtze River No. 7" and "Huo Yuanjia" starring Jet Li with $2.54 million. When "Old Boy" is drawn, it is not difficult to refresh the box office data in Malaysia.
"Shao Shuaijun is here again, the miracle of a Chinese director, Southeast Asia is his backyard! "33 Days of Broken Love", "Painted Skin", "Inception", he will not leave if he does not take away enough box office from Southeast Asia! —Sin Chew Daily.
"It's time for Chinese films to rise again in Malaysia!" - Nanyang Siang Pao.
The news from Malaysia came the news from Singapore, where "Oldboy" successfully topped the box office week in Singapore. With 1.95 million Singapore dollars, that is, 9.33 million yuan, it has strongly squeezed the space for all films, including Sony's "2012", which is basically drawn from Singapore.
Singapore is almost a country of Chinese, the taste is naturally the same as the Chinese, the disaster blockbuster is quite fresh to watch, and after watching it, it is just like that, there is nothing worth recalling. Previously, Singapore's Chinese film market was basically the world of Cheng Long, Xing Ye, and Jet Li, and Xing Ye's "Kung Fu" held the championship record with 4.2 million Singapore dollars.
"Oldboy" didn't know if it would be able to break that record.
"I look forward to the good results that the stick brothers can achieve in Singapore, and the victory of Chinese directors is always better than Hollywood's casual food here." —The Straits Times.
After the success of Singapore, the Thai box office also reported success, winning 20 million baht, or about 4.23 million yuan, in the first week, setting a new record for the premiere week of a Chinese film in Thailand. Of course, the previous box office record for a Chinese-language film in Thailand was 70 million baht for "Kung Fu", and it is still unknown whether "Old Boy" can break this record after the next draw.
"Another testimony of the friendship between China and Thailand, "Old Boy" was 2,000 baht in the first week of the country, which is the best result of a Chinese film. We look forward to more and more Chinese films entering Thailand, and we also look forward to Dream Harvest helping more Thai films enter the Chinese market. —The World Journal.
"The only one who can compete with Hollywood is Shao Shuaijun, who is optimistic about "Old Boy", but Chinese films as a whole are still speechless in Thailand." - Siam Daily.
No matter how you evaluate this movie, whether you are looking forward to the rise of Chinese films, or you are not optimistic about the rise of Chinese films.
The storm of "Old Boy" has set sail and is destined to represent Chinese cinema and hit all records.
The task was pressed on Shao Shuaijun's shoulders.
Since Japan and South Korea competed with Wu Yusen for hegemony, Shao Shuaijun began to compete with Zhou Xingxing for hegemony in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
At the same time, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Laos, Bangladesh and other places have also reported good news, "Old Boy" topped the weekly championship, but in India, Pakistan and the Middle East, after the release of "Old Boy", the response was mediocre. The Indian and Pakistani markets are the graveyard of Chinese films, and there have been no successful cases over the years, this time "Old Boy" is the main hit of Dream Chasing South Asian Entertainment, but it also failed.
And the Middle East and other places are not places where the theme of "Oldboy" can succeed because of beliefs and customs. Of course. It doesn't matter whether it's successful or not, these places are directly sold copyrights, and it doesn't matter if you take more or less.
Asia went around in circles and returned to Hong Kong and Treasure Island.
"Old Boy" is like being in the mainland on the treasure island, refresh all the data that can be refreshed, and the single-day box office of Beishi from Monday to Sunday was 15.6 million, 18.54 million, 20.01 million, 20.13 million, 21.58 million, 28.97 million and 27.56 million New Taiwan dollars, respectively, rewriting the single-day box office of Beishi (Taipei City).
In the first week, it accumulated NT$210 million in Taiwan, setting the best opening week box office in the history of Treasure Island.
Shao Shuaijun, who missed the Golden Horse Awards, entered the stage with "Old Boy". In the first week, it swept NT$210 million. Rewrote the pattern of Chinese films in Treasure Island. We call on the filmmakers of Baodao to do a good job in the film market, but Baodao has fallen, and this is a place where Hollywood blockbusters are rampant. Now. We can only look forward to Chinese-language films led by the mainland. Reconquest. —reported in the pro-mainland China Times.
"Abused Shao Shuaijun of the Golden Horse Awards. Breaking into the Treasure Island Film Market with "Old Boy" is a premeditated cultural assimilation invasion by the mainland. The policy of inaction and non-intervention by the authorities of the treasure island will certainly make the liberalization of the treasure island a hundred times more difficult. Calling on Treasure Island audiences to resist the "Old Boy" invasion. The Liberty Times, which has always been anti-mainland, sharply attacked.
"There are too many cooperation between the distributor of Treasure Island and Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, and a number of Treasure Island movies led by Eight Knives' "Those Years" have been promoted by Dream Chasing Golden Harvest. Now Dream Chasing Golden Harvest has finally revealed the conspiracy of the mainland government to invade the culture of "Old Boy", and the distributor of Treasure Island is an accomplice! - Apple Daily, a subsidiary of Hong Kong's Next Digital, has been moving to Treasure Island for a long time, and it is also anti-mainland.
""Old Boy" has won the favor of the audience on the treasure island with its nostalgic dream concept." -- A neutral report by United Daily News.
No matter how the media on Treasure Island shouts, the audience on Treasure Island is enthusiastic, and many people don't care about the government, but are more concerned about whether the movie is good or not. Nowadays, Time.com has become the largest Chinese-language film exchange website in Asia, and countless treasure island netizens have swiped ratings and messages on Time.com.
"The movie is good-looking, more touching than "Those Years", and after watching it, it is not only sad, but also understands a lot, people have to live for their dreams, not for the sake of living." - The IP shows that the ghost of the strange network on the treasure island left such a message, and gave "Old Boy" five stars.
"I first watched it as a comedy, but I cried when I watched it, dreams are always buried with the pressure of life, and the last part of the singing is really a mess of crying. My friend and I bought a pack of tissues, which was not enough at all, and I loved Shao Shuaijun and Huang Bo. - The ass bear, who is also a treasure island, was also given five stars.
"I think all the people who cried were people who had dreams. There is an old man here on my side, and he is crying when he sees it, and he is very pitiful. - ping888 is still five stars.
"Yesterday I was still lamenting the incredibleness of "2012", and after watching "Old Boy" today, I suddenly felt that those apocalyptic times were just an excuse for us to escape from reality, which was ridiculous. I will also be like a stick brother, even if my dream will not come true, I will work hard! Then you can say to yourself very chicly, I have no regrets! The tiger in the palm said so, but what he didn't say was five stars.
Netizens throughout Asia are rating "Old Boy", and the score has remained above 9.8, which has not dropped, which is a miraculous score.
The fall of Treasure Island, Hong Kong is not much better, as the base camp of Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, almost half of the movie theaters in recent years have been purchased by Dream Chasing Golden Harvest. In the cinemas under Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, there is even only one "Old Boy" being screened, and the box office is naturally crazy like an explosion.
On Monday, the first day of the film, it reached 4.2 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking the box office record for Hong Kong films on the opening day. A week later, 32 million Hong Kong dollars, and 8.6 million Hong Kong dollars on Sunday, set the best premiere week in the history of Hong Kong films, and the undisputed king.
"Soft and sharp, youth is probably used to be ravaged by reality, and the rest is probably the brother who is more in love than Jin Jian." ——Hong Kong netizens lost their way to self and scored five stars on Time.com.
"After watching TV series, animation, and movies for so many years, for the first time, I burst into tears." ——Hong Kong netizen liulei123 is still five stars......
The mainland explodes, the Asian overseas explodes, this is the week's journey of "Old Boy", crushing everything.
At 14 o'clock in the afternoon of December 7, 2009, Time Online announced the latest box office statistics of the movie...... (To be continued......)
