Chapter 238: High Box Office
The highest box office in these more than a dozen countries and regions is undoubtedly the United States, followed by island countries and European and American countries.
By the time Home Alone came to an end, the U.S. box office reached $230 million, which was not as high as it was in history, but it wasn't much worse, and it won the second place in the U.S. annual box office, and the first place was "eT Aliens"!
Perhaps benefiting from Zhao Chen's massive fame and fans in Asia, the director has achieved good box office in various countries and regions in Asia.
Among them, the island country is the most amazing, and the box office has surpassed the theatrical version of "Dragon Ball" screened in the summer, reaching an astonishing more than 4 billion yen, becoming the top three of the island country's annual box office, making many well-known directors in the island country quite helpless.
The box office of the island country is relatively special, and the top ten films that occupy the total annual box office are often films from other countries, which is what makes the directors of this country helpless the most, and I feel that there is really no face at all.
In addition, in Xiangjiang, although "Home Alone" cannot be regarded as unveiling the trend, thanks to Zhao Chen's fame and massive fans, as well as Shao Yifu's persistence, it was broadcast in Shaw Brothers Cinemas for nearly two months, and the final box office success exceeded 30 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming a movie with a box office of more than 30 million in Xiangjiang, causing an uproar in the industry, and Zhao Chen's appeal can be imagined.
The total box office in Asia alone is close to 100 million US dollars, of which the island countries contribute nearly half of the box office, although it is not even half of the United States, but it is also a very rare high box office, which is often only achieved by the kind of blockbusters.
In addition to the amazing box office in Asia, the box office in Europe is not low, and the highest-grossing countries in Europe are France, the United Kingdom and Italy, and France, as the largest box office country in Europe, has also contributed more than 10 million US dollars. It's enough to become one of the top five films of the year in France.
In addition to these, the rest of Europe also contributed a lot of box office to a greater or lesser extent, adding up to more than $70 million in total.
When the global screening ended, it was March 1983, except for these countries and regions. The rest of the countries also contributed nearly $60 million at the box office, bringing Home Alone to $450 million worldwide.
Although this box office is not as good as history, it is less than 100 million US dollars, and according to inflation, this box office is actually more than history.
In addition to Zhao Chen's fame, the most important thing is due to the deep connections he has mastered. This allows Home Alone to be co-broadcast in many countries over the Christmas season. After all, this film is special, if it is not shown at Christmas, it will lose a lot at the box office.
The high box office of "Home Alone" shocked people in the industry, in addition to the high box office, the most important thing is that the cost of "Home Alone" is only more than five million dollars, which should be a huge profit.
So the starring eyes of these people are focused on Zhao Chen. And not director James Cameron. Because they know in their hearts that a good script is the most important, and the director and actors are secondary, after all, James Cameron is not the international director who calls for wind and rain in later generations.
But even so, James Cameron also stepped into the ranks of hundreds of millions of directors with "Home Alone", and his reputation has been shocked, and he has become the sweetheart of many film companies.
It's a pity that James Cameron has long been signed by Zhao Chen to his shell film company in the United States. After all, Zhao Chen is not a stupid person, how could he cultivate James Cameron in vain, and then be poached by other companies, which is not in line with his interests at all.
In addition to these, there was another thing that made Zhao Chen cry and laugh, that is, when "Home Alone" was played, many children began to imitate the protagonist Kevin in it, and made traps everywhere, making those parents miserable.
Many media outlets have reported on this incident as a joke. often condemned Zhao Chen, that is, he thought that Zhao Chen had left a very deep impression in the minds of these children and their parents.
Zhao Chen did not give an interview and went back to the island country.
It's 1983, and as is customary, several authoritative media outlets in the island nation have collaborated to compile a ranking of comics. Among them, Zhao Chen and Tianxiashe needless to say once again made a big splash.
In the ranking of manga magazines, this time Tianxiasha finally had three manga magazines enter the ranking, among which "Shonen soRa" won the second place after Shueisha's "Shonen Jump", and the other is the shoujo semi-monthly magazine "ange1ings" successfully squeezed out the "Flowers and Dreams" of the White Spring Society to become the fifth, and it is also the highest ranking of shoujo manga magazines.
In addition to these two manga magazines, Tianxiasha's semi-monthly magazine "Shonen GA11OP" also entered the list and won the ninth place.
These are nothing, the most important thing is that on the list of single books, people have a faint situation at a glance. This time, Zhao Chen's work finally occupies the first place, and that is "Dragon Ball"!
"Dragon Ball" has gone through the three "gaochao" of the Dragon Summoning, the world's first martial arts club and the big demon king of Vic, with an average single book of more than three million, and this year, "Dragon Ball" has a total of five single books, and the amazing total sales make it firmly occupy the first place.
The second place is also Zhao Chen, to be precise, Zhao Chen and Anda Chong's work "Baseball Heroes"!
In addition to the top two, there are also "Pokémon", "Soccer Player", "Cat's Eye Three Sisters", "Sailor Moon" and "Card Girl Sakura" occupy the top ten places, and it can be said that most of them are Zhao Chen's works.
In addition to these, there are also a few titles that are likely to make it to this list next year, namely "Mad Kojiro", "City Hunter", "Delicious Challenge", "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", and "**"! It can be said that this list is simply prepared for Zhao Chen, and it seems that most of them are Zhao Chen's names and works, which makes people feel dazzled.
And the three "surviving" works on this list are Akira Toriyama's "Arrai", Rumiko Takahashi's "Fukuxing Kid" and the stinky and long "Oolong Police Station", and the rest of the masterpieces were all excluded from the top ten.
The works that can enter the top 10 sold more than 5 million copies of a single book last year. The highest is "Dragon Ball", with a total sales of more than 160,000 copies of a single book, which should only be the total sales of last year in the island country, which makes people feel numb at a glance.
The following is the total turnover of the comic club,This year, the world is also in the high exhibition,This year also created a few semi-monthly and monthly comic magazines,Under the strong sales channels of the world,Although the sales of these comic magazines are far inferior to the three major comic magazines of the world,But it has also brought a lot of profits to the world.。
In addition, Tianxia Society also founded two novel magazines to serialize novels, although almost all of them are newcomers, but the exhibition has gradually stabilized, and may become one of the sources of profit for Tianxia Society in the future.
As a result, Nakatensha's sales totaled more than 80 billion yen this year, ranking fourth among many manga companies, with Shiraizuma below, Shueisha, Shogakukan, and Kodansha at the top. Kodansha is the highest, but it is mainly due to the fact that Kodansha is the largest comprehensive publishing house in the island country, and the sales of novels give it a large bonus.
The last is the personal income tax of cartoonists, this aspect still continues last year, the first place still belongs to Zhao Chen, and the second place is Akira Toriyama, but Akira Toriyama doesn't want to enter this list at all, due to the high ratings of "Alalei" and the hot sale of a single book, Akira Toriyama's personal income tax is actually quite high, but it is undoubtedly dwarfed by Zhao Chen, the gap is close to ten times, it looks like there is one less zero behind, and the second place is simply not an honor, but a humiliation! After all, if readers see it, they will often point to Zhao Chen and Toriyama Akira behind the personal income tax comparison, and maybe they will laugh at it, this is what Toriyama Akira is most willing to do.
Zhao Chen's personal income tax last year was higher than the year before, so he once again broke the personal income tax record of cartoonists in island countries, which made cartoonists helpless at the same time, but also admired Zhao Chen's earning ability.
On this day, when Zhao Chen was still working in the president's office, there was a knock on the door, followed by the secret technique into the room and said, "President, Tetsuo Hara is already outside!" ”
