Indeed, the honor that the Journey to the West chapter has now received is not only something that other filmmakers did not expect, but it is also unexpected by Chen Xi.

In the original world, the beginning of the Journey to the West Demon Conquering Chapter was much better than that of Thai Embarrassment, and it also made everyone feel quite good, opening a new era of Chinese films, but at that time, the Journey to the West Demon Conquering Chapter was not as strong as Thai Embarrassment, and then it was soon surpassed by Thai Embarrassment in the total box office.

But this time, Journey to the West not only got off to a better start, but also the box office continuation of this film is just right, and the stamina is good, so far the box office has exceeded 1.3 billion, which is an amazing number, and now everyone is most looking forward to seeing that the box office of "Journey to the West" will eventually exceed the 1.379 billion of "Avatar" and reach a new height.

Although it is true that the box office of Avatar cannot be faked, it is still a foreign language film even if it is said bluntly, and many people still hope to get the final result of the Chinese Chinese movie.

In some of these thoughts, the box office of the current Journey to the West chapter is concerned every day.

Chen Xi feels that his Journey to the West can have the current energy, first of all, it is natural that the names of him and Xing Ye have really affected the fans, after all, whether it is Chen Xi or Xing Ye, the appeal in the Chinese film market is quite amazing.

Secondly, the hilarious things in this film and the compact plot full of commercial film temperament make the Journey to the West chapter very commercially valuable, and everyone thinks that this is a really good movie, so they will also feel good when they watch this movie.

Another point is also quite important, that is, Ye Ling supervised the later production of this movie. added a lot of 3D screen effects and other things that make the audience feel very awesome, three-pronged, obviously, the box office results of this movie will come out.

The Journey to the West chapter is now getting more and more attention, and everyone's eyes are almost fixed on it, and everyone is paying attention to it. Hopefully we can see the day when this film breaks records at the box office.

The current movie is actually not far from the record of 1.379 billion, it only got 1.3 billion in just over 20 days after its release, and it is conceivable that this number will increase in the next time.

It was in the midst of such great attention that after a week, by the time "Journey to the West" was released for 28 days, the cumulative box office reached 1.388 billion, and there was only one step left before 1.4 billion, and this number also completely shattered the box office figure of 1.379 billion maintained by "Avatar", and now everyone is only looking forward to 1.4 billion for the Journey to the West.

Of course, anyway. The Journey to the West chapter broke the Avatar record number, which is a big event, and it is also a big event that makes many people feel proud of their eyebrows.

The impact of this movie on the Chinese film industry is also very strong, and many people's morale has also been aroused.z After all, when Avatar swept the world before, many people felt that after this battle, there was no future for Chinese films, after all, it was one billion, and it was a terrifying number of 300 million to 1.3 billion that had increased before!

At that time, it was never an exaggeration to describe Chinese filmmakers with black clouds overwhelming the city, and many people had heavy hearts. I think that Chinese-language films may not be able to get a billion box office in another ten years.

But how long has it been?

People are embarrassed in Thailand, and the journey to the west is to conquer demons!

Two movies that smashed some concepts to the ground! Chinese films can also be said to be at the peak of the current mainland film box office market......

After all, although many people always like to talk about domestic film protection month. However, "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand" and "Journey to the West" basically broke through from many movies, and their gold content is quite high.

At this time, the box office of "Journey to the West" was still growing.

At this time, Chen Xi and they were once again faced with a choice, that is, whether to let the secret key of "Journey to the West" be extended. After all, if this movie stops playing now, the remaining box office every day will always make people feel a little reluctant.

After all, movies like "Journey to the West" have already recovered their costs, and now there are still things left. If you increase the box office a little further, most of them can basically fall into the pocket of Deep Space Film and Television and become Deep Space Film and Television's own funds.

In this case, many people in Deep Space Film and Television don't want "Journey to the West" to be released directly, in fact, many fans don't want this movie to be released like that, after all, they still think it's quite good for domestic movies to raise their eyebrows like this.

Chen Xi himself is also a little entangled......

In fact, it would be good if the release could be postponed, which could bring one or two million extra profits to Deep Space Film and Television, or even more...... Chen Xi considered that the main reason was that he was worried that one day someone would come out to talk about this matter, after all, this kind of postponement of the release with such a feeling of brushing the box office will cause some people to be disgusted.

Chen Xi is really a person who cherishes feathers now, from beginning to end...... Mainly because Chen Xi thinks about a lot of things, and he actually wants a lot of things, so on the surface, he doesn't want any flaws in some of his things.

Postponed!

There are pros and cons to this!

If it is really not released, it will be a pity that the extra box office will be released, which is not only a problem that can break the record and extend the record of Chinese films a lot, but also can make Deep Space Film and Television get much higher profits.

After all, such a profit of one or two hundred million yuan is relatively small compared to the previous big movies such as "Source Code" and "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand", but in fact, many movies seem to have a good box office but may not be able to bring such profits to film and television companies......

A movie with a profit of 10 million or 20 million can easily bring very good things to a film and television company, and it may increase a lot in terms of market value in an instant.

After careful consideration, Chen Xi decided to postpone the release of "Journey to the West" for 15 days, that is, half a month, so that within half a month, "Journey to the West" should also be able to get a higher box office, so that Deep Space Film and Television can expand their previous profit scale.

…… In the end, after 39 days of release, "Journey to the West" was finally painted at the end of March, and "Journey to the West" finally got a box office of 1.467 billion yuan in the entire Chinese mainland, which broke the record held by "Avatar" before. It has become the overall champion of the Chinese mainland film box office market, and it is also the first film to complete the goal of 1.4 billion yuan in a single film in the Chinese mainland film box office market.

After all, "Journey to the West" has two people, Chen Xi and Xing Ye...... So although Chen Xi did not launch a large-scale release plan abroad, after all, it still attracted a lot of attention from foreign people, and a lot of foreign copyrights were sold, which increased the overseas box office of this movie.

The box office performance of "Journey to the West" in other parts of the world is not very good, and the entire Southeast Asia finally got a box office of 3 million US dollars and ended it sloppily, which is not very good, after all, Xing Ye's movies should actually have a pretty good influence in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and the result is now ......

The final box office of "Journey to the West" in Hong Kong was only 27.5 million Hong Kong dollars. Of course, this number is already very good compared to other movies.

After all, Xiangjiang is such a small place, and the population is not large, when the golden age of Hong Kong films has passed, Chinese films have basically completely lost their dominance in the Xiangjiang film market, and those who are born can only survive, a Chinese film of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars is already good......

However, such a number is for the star who has created countless box office miracles of Xiangjiang movies. This number is somewhat embarrassing.

"Journey to the West" was not released in North America in the end, and Chen Xi was mainly waiting for "Gravity", otherwise he was also worried that too many of his movies would overdraw things like popularity in the United States, and such movies Americans may not like them. It is very likely that there is no way to recover the distribution costs in the United States, so "Journey to the West" only sold the DVD copyright in the United States and the copyright fee for some TV stations.

This film is still a little popular in Europe, and Europeans still seem to like this dark tone, which is also a small highlight of "Journey to the West"!

Ultimately. "Journey to the West" received a total of $5.4 million at the box office in the entire world except Chinese mainland, which is certainly far worse than "Source Code". Compared with Xing Ye's last movie like "Kung Fu", it is naturally far worse, but some things are like this, and it is difficult for you to control them.

The domestic box office achievements of "Journey to the West" have made Deep Space Film and Television earn nearly 400 million after deducting the distribution costs, this number is also quite terrifying, although it is not as good as "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand", but now the appearance of "Journey to the West" still makes Deep Space Film and Television get a lot of guarantees at once, at least in terms of funding, it has the ability to continue because of the appearance of this movie in an instant.

…… At this point, Chen Xi's troika plan has basically completed two films, and the box office of these two films has been carried out according to Chen Xi's conception, and even the box office performance of these two films has actually exceeded Chen Xi's expectations to a large extent, what is the prospect of the next "Gravity"? This is a question that many people are concerned about, and in fact, this movie is still favored by many people so far.

Now Chen Xi is preparing for a big event: to participate in the 65th Cannes International Film Festival in France in 2012.

This will be the first film to participate in this award.

In fact, Chen Xi is still lucky in this regard, and his "Raid" won an award at the Toronto International Film Festival that had not been made by Chinese films before.

Many of his other movies, but Chen Xi doesn't care too much, otherwise, "Source Code" would still win the award at China's own Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Awards! It's just that the influence of Chinese films is too small after all, although the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award is one of the three major film awards at the Chinese Film Festival, but compared with the other two, the international popularity of this film festival is hehe.

And the Cannes Film Festival that Chen Xi is going to participate in now is different.

Founded in 1939, this film festival is one of the most influential and top international film festivals in the world today, and is known as the three major international film festivals in Europe along with the Venice International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival, and the highest award is the "Palme d'Or". The current Cannes Film Festival is held annually in mid-May and lasts for about 12 days, usually opening on Wednesday and closing on the following Sunday. In addition to the film competition, the market exhibition was also held at the same time......

Chen's goal now is to make "Gravity" appear in the main competition, which is the most important film list at the Cannes International Film Festival.

In fact, Chinese film festivals have always been quite popular in Europe, Cannes, Berlin, etc., can always get some good awards, and they have always attracted attention.

Chen Xi feels that his "Gravity" still has a certain competitiveness in this kind of film festival, but the film may be commercialized in some places, which is a problem.

In fact, places like the Cannes Film Festival, although they have become more and more commercial with the growth of the global economy in recent years, still fundamentally have a bit of the literary and youthful tone of the French petty bourgeoisie, and many of the films that can win awards are mainly films with excellent artistic qualities.

This is like the movie "Assassin Nie Yinniang", which won the highest award in 2015, this film is basically foggy when ordinary people watch it, and they feel that they don't know what they are talking about at all. This kind of film is actually exploring a new form of cinematic expression, using some relatively novel film language to narrate to make the film good-looking.

"Assassin Nie Yinniang" is commercially ...... Well, forget it.

But this movie, it is not for storytelling, this is completely different from the real mainstream movies, in fact, this film, its own story background, is only for the form of the movie itself, the most thing in the movie is to leave blank, that is, through the tip of the iceberg that is shown, people want to use their thoughts to uncover a Tang world.

Therefore, the judging criteria of this kind of film can make people feel something unique in Cannes.

At the end of March, the good news came that "Gravity" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival and was shortlisted for the most important awards.

Unfortunately, for various reasons, the film was not able to become the opening film of the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival, and the opening film was won by the American film "The Kingdom of the Moon Rising", but being shortlisted for this award also means that the film is very likely.
