Chapter 429: The Madness Continues
"In China, there is also a myth called Lin Yuquan."
"Beijing Times" followed the report on the first week of the crazy box office in the mainland of "Savage Tales: The Rise of the Ape Race", and reported on Lin Yuquan on the second day's entertainment page, with a picture of Lin Yuquan staring into the distance with deep eyes, the report wrote: "In this world, God will always favor so many people, let him or them become the leader of these mortals, so, James. Cameron stood at the pinnacle of the film industry with his unique mind and otherworldly wisdom, and ascended to the throne of the king of the world with the box office myth of "Titanic", and the king of the world, who had never set foot on the land of China on the other side of the ocean, easily conquered this land.
Who created the first film with a box office of over 100 million after the statistics of the mainland's box office figures, so that Chinese films have truly entered the era of 100 million yuan? It's James. Cameron, 1995's "True Lies" won 103 million box office in one fell swoop, creating a box office myth in the mainland for the first time.
Who set off the prelude to Hollywood blockbusters sweeping China, and successively created the first mainland film with a box office of more than 200 million and 300 million, and firmly occupied the mainland box office record for a long time after that, and no one can surpass it. Or James. Cameron, "Titanic", which landed in the mainland in 1998 and was released, set off a frenzy of movie-watching frenzy without any other movie exceeding 100 million box office, and finally the total domestic box office was as high as 360 million, which was more than the total box office from the second to the tenth box office behind him. What is a myth, this is a myth.
Zhang Yi was once considered the most promising mainland director to surpass this record, and in 2002, his first martial arts masterpiece "Hero" set a domestic box office record with a super high box office of 250 million. Thereafter. "Ambush on All Sides" and "The City Full of Golden Armor" have also repeatedly achieved box office success. In 06, "The City Full of Golden Armor" raised its personal highest box office to 293 million, but so far, Zhang Yi has not been able to surpass James Cameron.
If there is no Lin Yuquan, no one knows when a movie will break the record of "Titanic", and when will a big domestic director break the record of "Titanic".
And back a few years ago, I'm afraid no one could have thought of surpassing James. The director of Cameron's box office myth would be so young, yes, no one would have imagined. But obviously, as James. Like Cameron, Lin Yuquan is also one of the people who is favored by God, and he is the creator of the box office myth, so let's review Lin Yuquan's incredible box office myth over the years.
The first myth: "Huo Yuanjia" (2004), with an investment of 30 million, the final mainland box office was 135 million, the global box office was 170 million US dollars, and the return on investment at that time was 1:47. The all-round carried out to the end, setting off a new kung fu boom around the world. At that time, Lin Yuquan was only 21 years old.
The film is not the highest-grossing directorial debut in the world. Adamson's "Shrek" grossed $484 million worldwide. Costner's "Dances with Wolves" $424 million, Randall. Claisser's "Grease" $378 million Due to the global popularity of Hollywood films, the global box office of the directorial debut film is much higher than that of "Huo Yuanjia". But Lin Yuquan is undoubtedly the youngest director to earn more than $150 million at the box office, and he is also the highest-grossing Chinese director for his debut film.
The second myth: "Red Cliff" (2005), with an investment of 240 million, the final mainland box office was 267 million, and the global box office was 413 million US dollars, with a return on investment of 1:14 at that time. The film's excellent box office not only made Lin Yuquan sit on the throne of the domestic annual box office champion, but also once again set a record for the age of directors with a box office of more than 400 million US dollars. At that time, Lin Yuquan was only 22 years old, and this was only his second movie.
The third myth: "Painted Skin" (2006), with an investment of 251 million, the final mainland box office was 323 million, the global box office was 461 million US dollars, the return on investment was 1:13, the investment climbed again, and the box office of the film also created another brilliant scene, the oriental magic scene in this film is amazing, and there is no other film of the same type. With this film, Lin Yuquan not only once again set a record for the age of directors with a box office of more than $450 million, but also broke the record to achieve two consecutive domestic annual box office titles, which is the first time that a director has achieved it since the box office statistics. Lin Yuquan was 23 years old at that time, and this was only his third movie.
The fourth myth: "Hurricane Rescue" (2007) invested 85 million US dollars, and finally the mainland box office was 371 million, the global box office was 827 million US dollars, and the return on investment was 1:9.7, this is the first Hollywood movie directed by Lin Yuquan.
Tong guò this movie, Lin Yuquan broke a number of records, a single Chinese director at the global box office, the highest grossing Chinese director in North America, the highest single box office film in mainland film history, the director with the highest cumulative box office in the mainland, the Chinese director with the highest cumulative global box office, and the youngest director with a box office of more than 800 million US dollars, and Lin Yuquan actually achieved three consecutive domestic annual box office championships, which can be said to be very few in a country or region, Xu Guanwen has previously relied on "Ghost Horse Double Star" and "Genius and Idiot" written and directed by himself , "Half a Pound and Half a Two" won the Hong Kong annual box office three times in a row from 1974 to 1976. At the same time, Lin Yuquan has also been the highest-grossing Chinese director for four consecutive years. Lin Yuquan was 24 years old at that time, and this was only his fourth movie.
The Fifth Myth: "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" (2008) invested $170 million, box office: in theaters, this is Lin Yuquan's biggest investment film to date, and it is bound to set a new box office record for Lin Yuquan. Facing the 154 million mainland box office in the opening weekend. $157 million at the North American box office. $392 million global box office, breaking a series of film history records, such an achievement, what can be described except for mythology, and now Lin Yuquan is only 24 years old, this is only his fifth film.
has been in the film for five years and is only 24 years old. During this period, six movies were filmed, of which five have been released all incarnation myths, I can't imagine what heights Lin Yuquan will reach in the future, but we can look forward to it together, and then witness his Nth myth. ”
"Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" swept the screen, and Kung Fu Lin rewrote the myth. ”
"Lin Yuquan - The Myth of Cinema in the New Era."
"The first half of the new era belongs to Peter. Jackson, the second half belongs to Lin Yuquan. ”
"Just as "The Godfather" is to Francis. Ford. Coppola, Jaws to Steven. Spielberg, Star Wars, and George. Lucas, "Titanic" to James. Cameron, The Lord of the Rings vs. Peter. Jackson, Lin Yuquan is now on the journey to become a super director. ”
The crazy and incredible first-week box office of "Wild Wild: The Rise of the Ape Race" has made Lin Yuquan the brightest star at the moment, newspapers and magazines, TV entertainment news, and online news. As long as it has something to do with the movie, there are almost reports of him and "Savage Story: The Rise of the Ape Race". Among them, in addition to box office reports, film reviews, and special effects introductions, the most are reports on him personally.
At the same time, he also kept receiving phone calls or text messages from various friends to congratulate him, because he was busy with the post-editing of "Heartbeat", for this reason, he had to turn off the phone, and when he was free at night, he slowly looked through the text message messages, if it was a good friend, he would call and chat with the other party, and if it was an ordinary friend, he would reply politely by text message.
Lin Yuquan is of course more concerned about the follow-up box office situation of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", but this kind of concern is only concerned about one or two, and today, after five movies have been released, he will no longer wait for the box office of the film on the same day with anxiety and anticipation every day as he did when "Huo Yuanjia" was released, but if the results are not bad, he immediately smiles.
In addition to being busy, Lin Yuquan's mentality is very calm, and the publicity things have his own Chris. Anderson and the corresponding Summit Entertainment staff are worried, compared to him, they are both nervous and excited every day, completely stimulated by the crazy box office of "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes".
And naturally, the box office speculation about "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" has also become a hot topic of discussion among the media and movie fans, with many newspapers and websites having similar special sections, "Can "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" continue to be the top box office this week? "How much box office will Savage: Rise of the Apes get this week?" "How far do you think Savage: Rise of the Apes will be able to go at the box office?"
The Los Angeles Times believes: "Due to the fact that "Savage: Rise of the Apes" is too strong, "Wanted", which was originally scheduled to be released this week, had to be postponed for two weeks on July 11, and among the new films released this week, the only large-scale release is "Wali", which is produced by Disney with an investment of $180 million and will be released in 3,992 theaters The fan base is not conflicting, and it should get a good opening box office.

Coupled with the film's excellent reputation, it is predicted that the box office will not fall by more than 50% next week, and the weekend box office should be above $78 million. ”
"Xinglang Entertainment" believes: "There is no new film released this week, "Savage: The Rise of the Ape" occupies the vast majority of the screenings in theaters, and it is natural that it can be re-won, and not only this week, but next week, "Savage: The Rise of the Ape" will continue to be re-elected without suspense."

"200 million, 300 million, 400 million, maybe 500 million, at least 400 million mainland box office, I believe that "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape" will definitely be able to achieve it."

In this matter, the two daughters were very excited, and when the second daughter asked him, Lin Yuquan just smiled lightly: "Who knows?" Anyway, the more you have. ”
