Chapter 899. The King of Cinema

readx;

The New Year's Lantern Festival has just passed, and people have just breathed a sigh of relief. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAt this time, people found out that the film "Havoc in Heaven" was still being released silently around the world, and the box office had silently accumulated more than one billion US dollars in more than two months. And, with the completion of some blockbusters, the film quickly expanded the number of theaters released at an extremely stable high box office ratio.

The people of the six major Hollywood movie theater companies can't sit still, yes, they can control the theaters on their side, but the theaters in the world are not the six of them, these movie theater owners who are mercenary, have milk and are mothers, and as long as they can make money, they will arrange theaters for you, and they immediately discovered that "Havoc in Heaven", an increasingly popular Chinese movie, so, without hesitation, many foreign movie theaters abandoned the negotiated "Jurassic" and began to throw an olive branch towards this Chinese film.

As people flocked to the cinemas, there was an unusually explosive rebound at the box office, and the film exploded into an unimaginable surge between the end of April and May.

That outbreak was absolutely unimaginable, and it lasted for at least half a month. In just half a month, at least $400 million has been plundered around the world. The scary thing is that this film, which was released a month earlier than "Jurassic Park", was painted even later.

From June, the summer vacation will begin. There was another wave of appreciation of the film around the world, which lasted for a month and once again plundered 700 million US dollars for the film.

It was only at the end of August that the film was completed after 150 days of release, making it the longest-running film in the world. After the box office results threw "Jurassic Park" to the ass, the global box office reached an unprecedented $2 billion.

According to the tracking investigation of the Shadow Planning Department around the world, as well as the investigation of all aspects of the film. Except for the two breakout periods, the average attendance of this film was 85 percent. At the lowest time, it was not lower than 70%, and it was difficult to maintain a high box office growth in the face of strong opponents.

What's even more terrifying is that, according to the survey, the return rate of this film is extremely high, with at least 90% of people watching it more than twice, and almost 30% of people watching it more than four times. It's no wonder that it was able to get such a high box office.

Hong Kong, with a population of less than 6 million, has watched 10 million moviegoers and has a cumulative box office of nearly 200 million. It also broke the historical record in the mainland. The box office performance is as high as 400 million. In the United States, it has broken historical records such as "Star Wars" crazily, reaching as many as 800 million that people dare not face seriously.

MGM and other Hollywood studios screamed that it was impossible, but through the calculation of data. But they know very well that this is all very true. With such a high return rate for this film, it can definitely bring a very strong box office. This is obvious.

The most important thing is that this film and "Jurassic Park" go to the other extreme, one is vulgar and the other is elegant. One relies on sci-fi elements and simulated dinosaurs to win; One is to win by relying on the plot and absolutely classic special effects scenes. And, don't forget, the film's action scenes are absolutely capable of making anyone scream, and no one around the world has had any negative criticism of the action scenes.

Such a number shocked the whole world at the same time. It also made Chen Xiaotang feel extremely shocked. He originally thought that the results of "Jurassic Park" in his previous life were an insurmountable height, but he did not expect that a new world record would be set by him. And it has held this terrible record for the next 30 years.

The most terrifying thing for MGM and other Hollywood studios is that Magic Shadow Entertainment has relied on this film to create an insurmountable box office high, and just by screening and distributing, Magic Shadow has earned about 30% of the profit, which is more than 600 million US dollars. And MGM has such a huge empire that it doesn't even make a billion dollars in profit in a year.

And let's not forget the videotapes and peripherals, as well as the cost of television broadcasts, which generated at least $1.5 billion in profits over a five-year period. It is no exaggeration to say that the Shadow of the Devil has created an incomparable golden rooster......

But Comrade Spielberg is not so lucky, "Jurassic Park" has invested a total of hundreds of millions of dollars, and MGM has united five film companies to praise his work, wanting him to rely on this drama to ascend to the throne of the eye-catching "King of Movies", but he has a heavy trust, although the box office of the movie broke his personal best record, and also broke the record of all previous Hollywood science fiction films, but under the pressure of Chen Xiaotang's "Havoc in Heaven", he can still only be a "little three" in obscurity There are two people pressing on his head, one is Chen Xiaotang, and the other is the bearded Lucas who helped Chen Xiaotang ascend to the throne of world cinema! However, the film of his own play was divided into nearly 10 million US dollars, which barely alleviated Spielberg's depression.

Compared with Spielberg's depression, the six major Hollywood studios led by MGM are a little bitter and sad.

Six people teamed up to beat one person and couldn't beat others, but they were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, which is also unreasonable!

Is the old man blind? Why are so many of us capsizing?!

Could it be that Rafichen really has to be a child of destiny? Is it really the king of movies?! No matter how you can't kill him with thunder splits?!

Just when these Hollywood bigwigs were super depressed, the 3D magical Chinese blockbuster "Havoc in Heaven" has become one of the teaching materials for film schools around the world to teach students how to control the balance between business and literature, and the most praised use of special effects lens technology, especially the underwater 3D shooting of "The Monkey King Goes to the Dragon Palace to Borrow a Golden Hoop Stick", has been repeatedly called an unsurpassed classic by filmmakers.

You know, there are three major difficulties in 3D technology, the most difficult to shoot, which are animals, children and water. Because these things cannot be artificially controlled, there are very strong uncertainties, even if the special effects shooting of animals in the future director Ang Lee's famous "Fantasy Youth Drifting", and the depiction of water battles in Xu Ke's "Di Renjie: The Divine Dragon King", are only in exploration, not maturity and perfection.

That is to say, in this congenital bad situation, Chen Xiaotang relied on his excellent directing skills to become the first person to dare to challenge underwater 3D technology, although the special effects at this time are much worse than in the future, but in the next 20 years, countless people have imitated and learned, but no one has been able to surpass Chen Xiaotang's technology, that is to say, Chen Xiaotang has directly led the trend for 20 years and has become a unique lone in this regard!

Of course, all of this is still a matter of later importance. After the film was released, Chen Xiaotang felt that the inspiration in his whole body was as if he was drained by this film, he thought that if he didn't want to film, it would probably take at least half a year to recover.

Just three months after the release of "Havoc in Heaven", the drama directed by Chen Xiaotang won the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Bell Award in Hong Kong and Taiwan respectively, and also won the Golden Rooster Award very rarely in the mainland, which can be said to have won all the three major awards in the Chinese film industry at once. In the Chinese film industry, it has completely achieved no one before or since.

Chen Xiaotang has been prepared for winning awards in Hong Kong and Taiwan, after all, these are his bases for many years, and there are many factors, such as his own fan club, his close relationship with the Hong Kong and Taiwan Film Association, etc., which can affect his award. Of course, the premise is that the quality of the movie you shoot must be excellent, so that people can't find fault with it. And there is no doubt that this "Havoc in Heaven" has done this. Even Shaw Brothers Shao Tycoon has praised this drama endlessly, you must know that he is an old man who is a well-known person in the Hong Kong film industry, and being able to get his praise and affirmation shows that the quality of this drama is absolutely just!

However, this drama was able to win the Golden Rooster Award in the mainland, which made Chen Xiaotang a little confused, it seems that his relationship with the mainland film industry is not very cordial, except for investing in the construction of cinemas. However, soon, the mainland explained Chen Xiaotang's confusion, and it turned out that the reason why people gave awards to this play was entirely based on the superb acting skills of the six little spirit boys. Don't forget, this gentleman was born in the family of the Monkey King, and his late father also received an audience from the Prime Minister, and also took a photo in his arms, this kind of honor is very rare. Now relying on this drama can be regarded as reviving the reputation of the family, and at the same time, it can be regarded as winning glory for the country. Of course, Chen Xiaotang's special identity also played a certain role, and the mainland's willingness to award such an important award with social and political significance to the play "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" also shows that the mainland attaches great importance to Chen Xiaotang, a celebrity. The implications speak for themselves.

Since people present awards, then accept it unceremoniously to save yourself, this is Chen Xiaotang's idea, so it also ensures that the drama Magic Shadow has become a well-deserved Chinese award triple champion in one fell swoop.

At the same time, the good news continues, Chen Xiaotang received an invitation from the Cannes Film Festival in France, his play has been shortlisted for Cannes and was selected for the best foreign language film unit, and Chen Xiaotang will compete for Best Director and Best Actor with this play.

Chen Xiaotang didn't have much ambition to win the Palme d'Or in Cannes, but he hoped that this drama could help the Chinese create a Cannes actor. You must know that in his previous life, the first Chinese actor in Cannes was Uncle Ge, who relied on a "Alive" to break out of the encirclement and achieved the pride of the Chinese film industry. This time, Chen Xiaotang hoped to advance this glory and pride, so he gladly accepted the invitation from Cannes, saying that he would definitely support him in person at that time.

Chen Xiaotang's promise made the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival in France ecstatic. You must know that Chen Xiaotang's current identity is absolutely extraordinary, and being able to invite him to come to cheer is definitely a lot of money. (To be continued......)
