Yes, when is it, and what is early? Other countries and regions have also used dazzling actual data to make shocking shouts, and the box office myth of this summer's "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Race" is far from ending.

Domestically, despite the joint attack of "Kung Fu Panda" and the animated film "Wind and Cloud" adapted from Hong Kong cartoonist Ma Rongcheng's comic masterpiece "Fengyun" in the past week, "Kung Fu Panda", which landed on Tuesday, July 22, at half price, achieved an eye-catching box office of 36.52 million, but "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape" is still the king of this week's film market, with a decline of 32.33% and another 51.49 million, with a cumulative box office of 836 million in 38 days, repeatedly refreshing its own record.

The pattern of the summer file being dominated by Hollywood movies has not been broken by the Chinese films that have been born out of nowhere, and the box office results of "Wind and Cloud" in the past week can only be described as unsatisfactory.

As an investment of 10 million US dollars, for the history of Chinese animated films, whether it is film production or commercial operation, it can be called a monumental work, although the film has received greater attention from fans and audiences with the help of the influence of comics and related film and television works in China, but because of the film market and many factors such as the release of "Kung Fu Panda" in the same period, the final film is only worthy of a box office of 7.36 million.

Perhaps this box office is quite good in a number of Chinese-language films, but compared with the investment of $10 million, as well as the popularity of comics, film and television works, it is really difficult to be satisfied.

In Hong Kong, another 7.05 million Hong Kong dollars were collected in a single week, with a cumulative box office of 128 million Hong Kong dollars and 34.72 million Taiwan dollars in the treasure island area. The cumulative box office is NT$594 million. plus other countries and regions. In the end, "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" collected another $70.33 million in 101 countries and regions except North America, a decrease of only 21.74%, a slight decline due to more screenings in more than 30 countries and regions that have just been released in the past week, so far, "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" has accumulated $921 million at the overseas box office.

628 million + 921 million, this box office result suddenly made fans of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape" overjoyed, 1.549 billion US dollars, 1.843 billion US dollars from "Titanic". is only 294 million US dollars, although there is no guarantee that it will surpass "Titanic", but such a gap is enough for "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" not to lose hope of catching up, as long as there is hope, it is possible.

Many fans of "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape" are looking forward to the film surpassing "Titanic" in the future, but most of the media and industry insiders are not very optimistic.

In fact, it is not only "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" that is not favored, but also "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight", because the opponent in the next two weeks is really strong, how strong is it? Previously, "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape" only touched "Robot Wall-E" in the second and third weeks, but in the next two weeks, "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" and "Superman for All" will be ushered in one after another.

Nothing else. Just in terms of the attention and influence before the release, it is obvious that "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" and "Superman for All" are far more than "Robot Wall-E".

Face these two opponents. Speaking of "Wild Stories: Rise of the Apes" in the seventh and eighth weeks of release, even "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight" in the second and third weeks of release has become extremely dangerous.

As we all know, the "Mummy" series has always been very entertaining and loved by movie fans and audiences around the world. Prior to this, "The Mummy", which was released in May 99, won 155 million North American box office and $416 million global box office with an investment of $80 million, and the main creative lineup of second-tier directors and second-tier actors, ranking 31st among the highest-grossing films in global film history, and its premiere North American box office was $43.37 million at that time.

Released in May 2001, "The Mummy Returns" with an investment of $98 million, a larger lineup and special effects scenes, finally earned $202 million at the North American box office and $433 million at the global box office, when its North American opening weekend box office was $68.14 million.

Even the side story "Scorpion King", which was released in April 02, won $91.05 million at the North American box office with an investment of $60 million, and $36.07 million at the opening weekend.

This time, "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" is undoubtedly upgraded again, with an investment of $145 million. Directed by Cohen, without Rachel. Vichy, with Li Lianjie, Michelle Yeoh and Maria. The opening scale of Belo and 3,754 theaters in North America, judging from the premiere box office of the first two parts of the series and the extra-fan "Scorpion King", if nothing happens, "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" may get a premiere box office of about $80 million.

This box office performance is not low, "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight" is difficult to win the box office champion, look at the box office decline of the premiere giants in recent years, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin" 54%, "Spider-Man 1" 37%, "Star Wars Prequel 3: Heath's Revenge" 49%, "X-Men 3" 67%, "Harry. Potter and the Goblet of Fire 47%, Pirates of the Caribbean 3: World's End 62%, Spider-Man 3 61.5%, Harry. Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" 58.3%, "Iron Man" 48%, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" 54%, "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" 41%, $80 million in the next week box office, means that the box office decline of "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight" should be controlled within 47%, which is not a simple matter.

In fact, for these premiere giants, a drop of less than 50% is already an extremely remarkable achievement, not to mention that "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight" is also facing the impact of "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor".

In addition, after the shocking visual effects baptism of "Wild Age: Rise of the Apes", the story content may be exciting, but the audio-visual effect is obviously not at the same level "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight" is really difficult to attract more fans and audiences.

This is not the case with "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight" in the second week of release, not to mention "Wild Stories: Rise of the Apes" in the seventh week of release.

As for next week's "Superman for All", Shi Huang's box office appeal needs to be said. Last year's "I Am Legend," which was almost his one-man show, won $77.21 million in its premiere at the North American weekend box office. The final box office was $256 million in North America and $584 million worldwide. Although this time "Superman for All" will be affected by the Kyoto Olympics. But the opening weekend box office should not be less than $60 million.

Is it possible for Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight in its third week of release to achieve such results? It must be known that the box office of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" in the same period was only $64.69 million. Even if "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight" reaches an incredible $80 million at the box office the next week, then the decline next week must be controlled within 25%, but looking at the box office decline of the giants who premiered in the third week, "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" 30.7%, "Spider-Man 1" 36.9%, "Iron Man" 39.1%, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin" 43.5%, which is already the better of them, within 25%. The probability is no higher than the probability of winning the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket.

It's no wonder that the media and industry insiders are not optimistic about "Wild Stories: Rise of the Apes" surpassing "Titanic", and facing competitors such as "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight", "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", and "Superman for All" around the world, how can the box office prospects be optimistic.

It can only be slightly easier in China, due to review reasons, "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight" and "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" cannot be released in China at the same time. This week, in addition to the already released "Kung Fu Panda" and "Storm and Storm", "Savage: Rise of the Apes" will also face competition from the newly released "Perfect", although there are many opponents, but the competitive pressure is not great, and it is expected that "Savage: Rise of the Apes" will continue to remain strong.

Due to the time difference. When the box office in various places came out, Lin Yuquan and Liu Shishi had already separated from Zhou Yuxuan. Embark on the journey back to Kyoto.

The best jadeite is really hard to find, even if it is in the red Baolong company that is not inferior to the Jingu company, after exhausting the spiritual power in the body, Lin Yuquan only harvested 4 pieces of collected wool, of course, because the total number of detected wool is less than in the Jingu company, there must be a lot of fish that slip through the net, but the scarcity of the best jadeite can be seen from this.

Of these 4 pieces of wool, two pieces are glass species, one high ice species, and one ice species, the most special of which is not the two glass species, nor the high ice species, but the ice species, because it is a two-color jadeite, with two colors of purple and green.

Among the various single color jadeite, the highest value is green and purple, and the appearance of these two colors on a piece of jadeite at the same time will undoubtedly greatly enhance the value of jadeite, which is what we call spring colored jadeite. At present, the jadeite material of spring color has been very scarce, and the value of good spring color jadeite is extremely high.

This piece of wool is neither a clear material nor a very good external performance of the whole gambling wool, Lin Yuquan can find it, it is entirely because it is big enough, for this kind of large wool, he has never missed it, in his detection, the green and purple in the wool jade are combined in an orderly manner, the proportion is very good, plus the weight is large enough, the value of this piece of wool alone has been hundreds of millions.

Just like the huge profits obtained in Jingu Company before, after unraveling the detected wool that can be gambled up and selling it to Zhou Yuxuan, Lin Yuquan not only did not spend money, but got 4 pieces of collected wool worth about 230 million yuan with an income of 32.2 million.

Counting the previous income in Jingu Company, Lin Yuquan's trip to Myanmar can be said to be a full return, not only harvesting nearly 1 billion worth of collected wool, but also making a small profit of more than 69 million.

Lin Yuquan's mood is naturally very good, not purely because of making money, in fact, the factor of making money only accounts for a very small part of it, if he only wants to make money, as long as he participates in the Myanmar public market every year, and then comes to Wacheng to search once, he can easily get a lot of income, he doesn't have to work hard to make movies, he actually enjoys the process more, this wonderful process of taking the buried treasure into his pocket.

"836 million, not far from 900 million, breaking through 900 million should not be a problem, what about the box office in other countries and regions?" In a G550 business jet high in the air, Liu Shishi said happily.

"In some places, the box office has not yet been counted, but according to the estimation of the marketing staff, the total global box office should be 1.54 billion US dollars." Lin Yuquan took a sip of the coffee in front of him.

"$1.54 billion, oh. One step closer to $1.843 billion. Rain fountains. Do you think it can surpass Titanic? Liu Shishi's watery eyes stared at Lin Yuquan without blinking, looking very concerned.

"It's hard." Lin Yuquan shook his head, according to the analysis of the Summit Entertainment Marketing Department, if you can't come up with new tricks to stimulate the audience to watch the movie, then it is not difficult for the global box office of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape" to exceed 1.7 billion US dollars, but 1.8 billion US dollars will definitely not reach it, let alone break the record of "Titanic".

"What then?" Liu Shishi said anxiously and unwillingly. "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" has created a series of box office myths, and if you can't make further efforts to break the box office myth of "Titanic", it would be a pity and it will not be so perfect.

"Don't worry so much, it's easy to get old, just do what you want!" Lin Yuquan chuckled, and the index finger of his right hand flicked lightly on Liu Shishi's wrinkled forehead: "Everything that needs to be done has been done, just let it be." ”

As a director, Lin Yuquan naturally hopes to create an honor that records in film history, but he will not deliberately force it. In his heart, he first made a good movie. Then the audience likes it, and finally the box office and revenue.

And in any way, "Savage: Rise of the Apes" has been successful and can no longer be successful, and he has made enough efforts to fight for a better box office, in this case, why worry too much about the box office of the film, there are more things waiting for him to do than worrying about the box office.

"Heh, you can think about it." Liu Shishi smiled with no surprise in his expression, this is indeed Lin Yuquan's character and attitude.

"Of course, do you have to be sad? It's a day to be happy, and it's a day to be unhappy, so why not live every day happily? Okay, let's not talk about the box office of the movie, let's talk about you, this time the gambling stone also made a lot of money, do you have any ideas? Lin Yuquan looked at Liu Shishi with a smile, this trip to Wacheng, in addition to his gains, with his help, Shi Shi also made 3.6 million yuan by gambling.

This is naturally designed by him a long time ago, compared to Yifei, Shi Shi has just become popular, and the income is not high, although he wants to give her superior living conditions, but with Shi Shi's character, it will definitely not work for him to give direct support in terms of money, so this is the curve to save the country and achieve the goal by gambling stones.

The reason why it is more than 3 million, not more than 30 million, is to take into account the acceptance of the girl, if it is more than 30 million, Shi Shi will definitely not accept it, but if it is more than 3 million, even if Shi Shi knows his idea, he will not refuse, after all, he didn't spend a penny to earn more than 69 million?

Liu Shishi glanced at Lin Yuquan, but there was a strong warmth in her heart, she didn't know that Lin Yuquan wanted to help her financially, so she pretended to help her with a gambling stone, and she was naturally extremely moved by Lin Yuquan's intentions.

"I'm ready to buy a house."

"What house are you going to buy?" Lin Yuquan was not surprised, he actually intended to do this, but considering Liu Shishi's personality and the relationship between the two that is currently inconvenient to disclose to the public, he did not make the trip.

"I'm going to buy a bigger house for my parents in a relatively high-end real estate, and now the average price of high-end real estate in Kyoto is about 30,000 per square meter, which is completely enough." Liu Shishi had a happy smile on his face.

"If it's more than 30,000 per square meter, it won't be much bigger!" Lin Yuquan said in a rather annoyed tone, if he knew that Shi Shi had plans to buy a house, he should let her earn more in the gambling stone, such as 5 million or 6 million, so that she could buy a better set when buying a house.

"120 square meters is not big enough, in fact, as long as the family can live comfortably and happily, no matter how big it is, it is a complete waste." Liu Shishi glared at him angrily.

"Yes, you're right." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, he had been with Shi Shi for so long, he naturally knew that she was not the kind of money-worshipping girl who liked to live a luxurious life, for her, as long as the money was enough to honor her parents and meet the needs of life, at most she could satisfy her greedy appetite.

"Shi Shi, what do you think of my apartment in Purple Jade Villa? Four bedrooms and two living rooms, more than 200 square meters, the environment is also very good. ”

"You mean give me that apartment? No, I'll just buy it in another property. Liu Shishi didn't understand what Lin Yuquan meant, and immediately shook his head and said.

"That's not a waste, you know, Dandan and Yanzi have already moved to the other house they bought in Ziyu Villa, and I don't plan to rent the house to others in the future, anyway, the house is empty." Lin Yuquan said with a smile, if he didn't know that Shi Shi would definitely not accept it at this stage, in fact, he would have liked to give her the empty villa with a swimming pool in Ziyu Villa.

"Do you think that if my parents live in Ziyu Villa, after knowing the relationship between us, can you and Liu Yifei still get along?" Liu Shishi asked rhetorically, hitting the key point with one blow.

Lin Yuquan suddenly smiled bitterly: "Okay then!" ”

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when the plane arrived in Kyoto, and after dinner with Shi Shi, he immediately sent her home, and then came to the villa community where Yifei's family was located.

"Yifei!"

"Brother Yuquan!"

The night is like ink, the cold wind hits, the little couple says goodbye after a long absence, and the moment they look at each other, the warmth of happiness suddenly surrounds the two. (To be continued......)
