Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Later, a Chinese media interviewed Joseph about this matter, and he was full of emotion, "Actually, I just thought it was fun, and I didn't really want to learn kung fu." (Please search for the fastest novel website!) Lee may be sad to say that, but he doesn't really intend to teach us, not even Jaden. But that day was very serious, and as a result, we were miserable, and we all became his sparring partners...... Ha ha. β
"Have you ever seen a strange thing in a three-meter circle where no matter how hard you try, you can't catch his sleeve, and he's blindfolded. It almost made people think it was a supernatural upper body, and their eyes fell to the ground. Since then, I've also been curious about Chinese Kung Fu, a deep, time-honored martial arts memory. Li Donglai is so strong, I can't imagine that anyone will be able to beat him in the Olympics......"
The moving faction is just a small episode in Li Donglai's busy work, "The Story of Lao Lei" was unexpectedly hot at the global box office, but a cartoon could not be introduced to China, which made Li Donglai almost want to scold his mother. I want to get it released in China.
After many public relations, even Andy Lau, the new general manager of Phantom China, personally ran N times of radio and television, invited N leaders to dinner, gave a lot of gifts, and finally won the introduction quota and confirmed the schedule.
In this way, it also allowed the upstart Phantom in the film industry to experience the power of the right to introduce imported films. Recently, China intends to add 14 3D or IMAX films to the original quota of about 2O films imported from the United States every year, and the annual import of films will increase from 2O to 34, and the box office share of the United States will increase from the original 13% to 25%.
The state also intends to increase the opportunities for Chinese private enterprises to import films, breaking the monopoly of state-owned companies in the past.
This information has not been officially announced. But it immediately attracted heated discussions among industry insiders on Weibo: some people think that this time "the wolf is really coming", but some people think that for Chinese films, it is not necessarily a bad thing. For example, "Haven't Taiwanese films been reborn after being destroyed by Hollywood for so many years?" β
No matter what others think, the Phantom's license for the import right of this private enterprise is inevitable.

On the weekend of April 6th ~ 8th, the North American box office was hovering in the downturn, and it was also hovering in the strong shadow of "The Hunger Games". "The Hunger Games" once again won $33.11 million at the weekend box office, and the cumulative North American box office officially exceeded $300 million. "The Story of Old Lacey" received 5oo, and the total box office officially entered the ranks of 200 million.
But this week, there was a horror phenomenon, not born in North America. It's the Chinese film market, which is thousands of miles away.
Cameron's old movie more than ten years ago, "Titanic" was flexibly changed by him, and 2D to 3D was released again. It was released in North America for more than a week. It's not too surprising to win the box office of 25.65 million, but being so favored in China really makes Li Donglai, who has always been aiming to catch Cameron, shocked.
I'm speechless.
The spring file, which should have been deserted, was instantly stirred up by this 3D "Titanic", and repeatedly broke the mainland box office record.
More than ten years ago, a "Titanic" set off a movie-watching storm in the mainland. and attracted more than 180,000 viewers. It set a mainland box office record of 360 million yuan and has not been broken for more than ten years. Now that the 3D version of "Titanic" has arrived, even if it is just a restored and re-released 3D work, under the premise that the storyline has long been known to the audience and the technology has been lagging behind for more than ten years, the most speechless thing is that this movie is still a castrated version, and the nude scenes that all male fans are looking forward to are completely gone, but the box office is still high.
Six days after its release, the box office hit 468 million in a week. In one fell swoop, it broke the box office record of 4o40 million in a single week set by "Transformers 3". With an average of 93 viewers per game per week, the situation that the golden field is almost full is even more staggering. At the same time, the number of 9o people per game in "Transformers 3" was also successfully crossed.
Compared with the box office in North America, the 3D version of "Titanic" is probably a hit in China that many Americans can't imagine.
Lao Ka was secretly happy when he got the news, so he quickly summoned Fei Wen and went to China to publicize, which greatly satisfied the enthusiasm of fans. Even Spielberg was moved, and stepped up to make the "Jurassic Park 3D" version to make money, his popularity in China is not low, and he was still an art director during the O8 Olympics.
Lao Ka personally ran the publicity, and the power was huge. As a result, the box office is naturally going high, and it looks like it is about to break the 1o billion threshold, which makes Chinese filmmakers wail. It's really possible that this way will go on, because there is no film in the same period that can compare with it.
Li Donglai couldn't stand it anymore, so he let "The Story of Old Lacey" go online in advance.
Because the publicity is short-lived, a fierce move must be made, that is, "Blocking "Titanic 3D" from breaking 1o billion! β
Two years ago, a "Inception" and "Avatar" completed the mutual explosion, and the trend of fighting tends to be obscure, but the two geniuses have long been compared by countless media - they are more opponents than friends.
And this time, Li Donglai has made no secret of it, "For the sake of Chinese films to block "Titanic", otherwise he will break 1o00 million", this is already a blatant war.
But the schedules of other movies have been set, and the only one that can be used to block it is "The Story of Old Lacey". This excellent cartoon, which almost couldn't be released in China, was so fatefully put on the battlefield.
Maybe it was the fame and credibility that Li Donglai cultivated for many years that played a role, or maybe the slogan "Block "Titanic" for Chinese films, otherwise he broke 1o00 million" The slogan is too fierce. Li Donglai's second battle to challenge Cameron kicked off again, calling on the enthusiasm of many Chinese people.
"The Story of Old Lacey" is not domestic, but the phantom is Li Donglai, who loves the house and Wu, when countless people walked into the theater, they originally wanted to see "Titanic 3D", but they accidentally walked into the screening hall of this animated film that has exceeded 500 million US dollars at the global box office.
At the same time, many domestic counterparts support the Phantom counterpart. Director Feng, who has a big mouth, took the lead in firing the gun, "I'd rather watch the Phantom cartoon than the castrated version of "Titanic". β
A lot of gossip has been soaring on the Internet, "I heard that Li Donglai heard that "Titanic 3D" was going to break the 1o billion record again. Several sandbags have been broken. Let "The Story of Old Lacey", which was originally planned to be released in the summer, be released in advance. Keep the last fig leaf. At the end, there is also a photo of a broken sandbag, with pictures and truths.
The grapevine spread in style, plus the slogan of the Phantom. It can't be fake. It seems that Li Donglai really uses Cameron as a competitor.
The Hollywood media are excited that Li Donglai is so open-minded in blocking the old card in the Chinese market. Lao Ka's popularity in Hollywood is not very good, people are too impulsive, too arrogant, and too inattentive to people. There are many talented people in Hollywood, and no one has ever been as arrogant as him.
But in today's Hollywood rational market, where blockbusters are scrambling to avoid head-on collisions, major companies follow dark rules even if they promote. Blockbusters never collide, and even the competition is gentlemen, as in the Chinese market, they directly and grandly play the slogan of blocking a certain movie to promote. It's still relatively rare, and this person is still Li Donglai, so there is something to talk about.
Who is more powerful Li Donglai or Cameron?
Let's look at the Chinese box office list next week.
The North American weekend of April 13~15 passed, and the box office was announced on April 16.
After a full month of release, the Phantom Group has finally reduced the scale of the release of "The Hunger Games". But even so, it was only a reduction of 221. Symbolically, the overall theater size has been reduced to less than 4ooo, and there are still 3,916 theaters. The box office revenue of "The Hunger Games" fell by 35.1% in the third week, showing a perfect follow-up ability to attract money. The fourth week of the weekend three days of the record of 2.15 million US dollars, which is also the first "four consecutive championships" in Hollywood for many years, as of this weekend, the cumulative box office in North America has risen to 337 million US dollars, ranking 22nd in the North American revenue list in film history, continuing to advance to the $400 million mark.
Any provocation in front of the mighty Hunger Games is a floating cloud! After beating "American Pie 4" and "Titanic 3D" last week, "The Hunger Games" once again blocked "The Three Stooges" and "Cabin in the Woods" from the championship this week. A month-long four-week winning streak!
"The Story of Old Lacey" was released in 2,112 theaters and still grossed $3oo this weekend. This is already the 7th week of release. It is estimated that the TOP12 will fall next week.
However, this week's box office focus is not on the North American market, but on the Chinese market.
The statistics of the box office in China are different from those in the United States, and they calculate the box office for a week. During the week of April 16~22, "The Story of Old Lacey" temporarily put on armor in order to block the strong momentum of "Titanic 3D". But behind him, new Hollywood films "Class Battleship" and "Soul Chariot 2: Moment of Revenge" were released. Everyone sweats for it.
The box office statistics finally appeared, and as soon as "The Story of Old Lacey" was released, it greatly squeezed the number of other films, and there was a strong support from the Charm Cinema Line, with a total of 32% of the films scheduled in a week. also lived up to expectations, and won the weekly box office of 250 million and won the weekly championship. It turns out that a good movie is a good movie, especially an animated film, and any country in the world will be a good movie.
"Titanic 3D" is not so easy to lose, and it also stubbornly won 210 million box office this week, with a total box office of more than 680 million, almost breaking 700 million directly. According to the normal number, it is a sure thing that this movie will break 700 million, and the blocking effect has worked.
Another film, "Class Battleship", also achieved a box office opening of 120 million, they have not yet been released in the United States, and Asia is the station. Nicolas Cage's new film only made 2.45o at the box office.
This achievement has made many American media lose their voices, and it is said that Cameron should make a lot of money at the box office if it is released again. But the result of this resistance is still lost. Li Donglai showed his fangs for the first time, which already made the phantom look not so weak. What would be the result if the war was born in the future of Hollywood?
Will American audiences be as united as Chinese audiences in rejecting Li Donglai's films?
Many tabloids once again advocated Li Donglai's threat theory and called on the audience to boycott "The Hunger Games". But this time Li Donglai didn't pay attention to it at all, it was already a clichΓ©, such hype would only make "The Hunger Games" work harder, and he couldn't wait to stir it up.
On the weekend of April 2o, "The Hunger Games", which still maintained its 3,752 theater releases, was finally pulled out of the top spot, achieving a box office score of $140,000 and ranking third.
Surprisingly, the champion was not the light comedy "Lucky Charm" starring Zac Efron that was released on a large scale in Warner Bros. 3,155 theaters, but the "black" lineup comedy "Think Like a Man" produced by Sony Zhenping that was released in 2o15 theaters. They won a staggering $330,000 weekend box office with a staggering $16,377 per theater, making it a dark horse box office. The single-theater record of $16,377 managed to be among the top three single-theater box office in 2o12, behind only "The Hunger Games" at $36,871 and "The Story of Old Lacey" at $1,883o. And the first two are all Phantom products.
"Lucky Charm" ranked second at the box office with 2.28 million, and "Chimpanzee", the fourth installment of Disney's naturally produced "Disney documentary", also performed well, ranking fourth.
As the summer vacation approaches, Hollywood's Big Seven begins to gain momentum.
In a week's time, we will enter May, and the summer vacation in the United States is just around the corner. And in the summer of 2o12, there are movies that make the audience hot one after another.
It can already be seen from the increasingly hot propaganda war that the war is about to begin! (To be continued......)
