Chapter 629: $300 million in the first week

PS: Bow and thank the "Shushu Shushu" students for their monthly ticket support!

From "Star Lord" to "Star God" and "Star God Uncle", it is of course a funny and serious thing for the outside world. It's funny, because whether people are called "Star Master" or "Star God", "Star God Uncle", it is essentially no different from a nickname; is serious because Stephen Zhao's achievements are so great that every one of them has a heavy heart.

Stephen Zhao's great achievements are there, as long as they are not blind, deaf, idiots, ignorant children, or demented old people, it is impossible not to pay attention to them.

See or not, Stephen Zhao is there, no increase or decrease!

For Stephen Zhao himself, apart from being speechless, he has no other feelings.

On August 14, the eighth day of the official release of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", the box office of the first week was counted.

In mainland China alone, the box office reached 1.132 billion, nearly 200 million US dollars!

Without a doubt, this is an insane achievement.

The box office of Xiangjiang, Mazu Island, Waguo, Bangzi Country and other Asian regions and countries added up in the first week, accumulating nearly 1.06 billion Chinese dollars, equivalent to more than 100 million US dollars.

According to comprehensive statistics, the box office of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" in Asia in the first week was 2.192 billion, equivalent to more than 300 million US dollars, which is unprecedented!

"Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" and "Truant Weilong" set a series of box office records, which have been broken.

"Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" has become a new box office benchmark for Chinese films in Asia!

No one will doubt whether the global box office of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" will break 500 million US dollars, at this time, people's expectations for Stephen Zhao are already higher, and they are looking forward to the day when he can make a god film that sweeps the world and breaks 1 billion US dollars at the box office.

"A billion-dollar movie? Unlikely, except for Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters. Chinese films are basically impossible! ”

"Although Xing Ye is indeed very cranky, beyond the limits of people's imagination, and has become a star god, but does the box office of a Chinese film want to break 1 billion US dollars? Hehe, daydreaming, right? ”

"Daydreaming is really possible!"

"The box office broke $1 billion, except for Hollywood blockbusters. It is impossible for a Chinese film to be made within ten years. ”

"If a movie wants to break $1 billion at the box office, or it is a subversive god film, such as making the first 3D blockbuster in the 2D era; Or a series of movies with a lot of fans; Or make something that has never been done before, such as shooting a new subject that is acceptable to all cultures around the world...... Chinese-language films? Sorry, I didn't see any of them! ”

"Not necessarily, it is possible for Xing Ye to shoot "Gravity", this sci-fi blockbuster unites our space agency, and Xing Ye himself said that the effect will exceed our imagination. Maybe sweep the world! ”

"Gravity? It's just a general interstellar sci-fi blockbuster, and Hollywood has made it bad, it's not subversive at all, how can it sweep the world? ”

"Please, don't think that Stephen Zhao really thinks that he can make a sci-fi blockbuster when he makes a "Source Code". "Source Code" can't be considered a blockbuster at all, it can only be said to be a science fiction drama, and blockbusters are completely different concepts. ”

"I can't do it, there are no realistic special effects. It's a sci-fi blockbuster with a fart. Will Hollywood teach us how to eat? Stop dreaming! ”

"Upstairs pure comics, do you really think Huaxia can't get realistic special effects? There are many Chinese masters. It's just that the filmmakers are reluctant to spend money. Besides, don't you look at which unit "Gravity" cooperates with, Huaxia Space Agency, the manned landing on the moon can be done, and the special effects can't be done? Can you not come out to show your IQ? It's not your fault that you have a low IQ, but it's your fault that you come out on show. ”

"That's right. It's just special effects, don't brag about the disadvantages, the development of Huaxia science and technology has long been not much different from that of the United States. What the US imperialists can help, we can basically do in China. On the contrary, what we can do in Huaxia. U.S. imperialism may not be able to do it, for example, a manned landing on the moon! ”

……

Crooked buildings are a good habit.

From the plot discussion of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", the crooked building to whether the Chinese film can break the box office of 1 billion US dollars, and then the crooked building to whether Stephen Zhao can make a Chinese film with a box office of more than 1 billion US dollars, and finally the crooked building to who is higher and who is lower in the scientific and technological level of Huaxia and the United States.

Of course, in the end, the crooked building will still return to its original place.

However, for Stephen Zhao, the crooked building has returned to its original position, but the taste in his heart is becoming more and more unpleasant, not to mention, the $1 billion film, the current Chinese film really has no hope, and even he himself has no hope.

Even if he stole "Gravity", he still lacked confidence.

"Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" doesn't have to think about it, don't look at the box office breaking $300 million in the first week, but the box office potential in Asia has been almost tapped, and it is not easy to get another $300 million in the subsequent release time. Originally, there were European and American markets, but unfortunately, nonsensical comedy can be popular in Asia at the limit, and it is not popular in Europe and the United States at all.

In his previous life, Stephen Chow filmed "Shaolin Football", which was popular in many countries in Europe and the United States, but it was also because it was related to "football" and "kung fu", and it had nothing to do with "nonsensical comedy", and Europeans and Americans couldn't understand any nonsensical comedy. So once the limelight passed, they couldn't even remember who Stephen Chow was.

For the vast majority of Europeans and Americans, the only thing that Chinese culture can attract them is "kung fu".

The second part of "Cinderella" is of better quality than "Moonlight Treasure Box", and the box office is predictably higher than "Moonlight Treasure Box", but it can still be said that it is out of reach to reach $1 billion.

In the final analysis, the Asian box office market alone cannot support a $1 billion blockbuster.

If Hollywood blockbusters are not in the same European market, relying on North America alone, they can't support a $1 billion blockbuster, and they will cost $600 million or $700 million, which is not much different from the Asian market.

"Gravity" can have an impact, but Stephen Zhao doesn't have much hope, everything is possible!

By August 23, the mainland box office of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", which had been released for half a month, had soared to 2.05 billion, and the box office in Asia exceeded 580 million US dollars.

By this time, except for the mainland, the single-day box office in other places has dropped to a stable line, and the box office is close to exhaustion.

Only in the mainland, on the 23rd, it still won 50 million box office, which strongly crushed many new films released on this day, which made countless people exclaim incredible!

Of course, the film "Moonlight Treasure Box" is no longer the focus of attention.

When two days later, that is, on August 25, the day of the Qixi Festival of the lunar calendar, Stephen Zhao suddenly opened a mom-and-pop shop, and everyone's attention was attracted to the past.

Twilight!

A thriller romance novel!

The author is Zhao Xingchi + Qian Minli, and he opened a husband-and-wife shop in a grand manner!

When countless people hear the news, their first thought is, "What? Xing Ye has opened a new book? ”

Then, their thoughts became: "Haha, that's great, Xingshen actually opened a new book!" ”

"Star Master" has become a "Star God", and many people are difficult to correct for a while, and subconsciously call Zhao Xingchi "Star Master".

The popularity of "Romance of the Gods" is still continuing, and Red Star Media revealed that the adaptation of cartoons and TV series are in preparation, they thought that Stephen Zhao was going to open a new book, at least until the second half of the year or even the end of the year, but they never expected that a new book would be opened so soon!

When did Stephen Zhao become so diligent?

Many people feel incredible, because after Stephen Zhao "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", the frequency of writing has slowed down significantly, and it is getting slower and slower, and everyone knows that he is slacking, thinking that according to this trend, the interval between his future novels will be longer and longer, writing one a year, one every two years, and one every three years......

But no matter what, the news that Stephen Zhao is going to open a new book is true, which undoubtedly makes them, the fans, extremely happy.

As for the "Qian Minli" that appeared in the author's name, they automatically ignored it. Although they all know that Qian Minli is Stephen Zhao's wife, when writing novels, they still have to recognize Stephen Zhao. They began to wonder a little, is this the rhythm of Stephen Zhao trying to bring out his wife?

Some netizens immediately refuted: "Qian Minli has been teaching her husband and children at home, and she is very peaceful, when have you ever seen her come out?" And with the conservative style of Xingshen, how can he tolerate his wife becoming an artist? If you want me to say, this "Twilight" was written by the star god, and his wife is just polishing. Or does Qian Minli want to be a writer? ”

The day after the official bib of Red Star Media announced the news, on the official website of Red Star Media, a page for ordering "Twilight" began to appear.

This time, "Twilight" can only be seen for the first few chapters for free, and if you want to continue reading the later content, you can only buy a physical book.

On the same day, "Twilight? Twilight", and placed in the most prominent position, and there is a huge poster outside the storefront, which reads "Mr. Stephen Zhao's new masterpiece "Twilight? Twilight" is grandly listed, and you want to buy it as soon as possible"!

The phrase "buy as soon as possible" would have been made fun of if it had been used in other books.

But used in "Twilight? Twilight", no one dares to make fun of it. On the contrary, everyone got nervous and worried that they wouldn't be able to buy it.

On this day, bookstores all over the country can see a long stream of people, most of them young people, but there are also many middle-aged uncles and uncles, second-year teenagers, and little children, who stretched out their hands one by one and shouted: "Come to a copy of "Twilight". "I want two", "I want three"......

"Come one by one, don't squeeze it, everyone has it, I have tens of thousands of copies, enough for everyone to buy. Underage children should not come in, this book is not suitable for minors to see......" The bookstore staff arranged loudly with both excitement and pain. (To be continued......)
