Chapter 267: Japan and South Korea Box Office
"Sassy Girlfriend" was a big hit at the box office in Xiangjiang and Baodao, which made the entire mainland fall into excitement, and made all the audiences who like Bi Xia, like this movie and look forward to this movie excited, and everyone cheered for the box office achieved by the movie.
At the same time, the movie was a big hit, so that Bi Xia's popularity in the two places showed explosive growth, originally just some young people like Bi Xia's songs, but now with the movie hit, Bi Xia's deeds have been continuously excavated by the media in the two places, and the people in the two places know that Lu Dao, a young director, has only been debuting for two years and has achieved so many results, and more and more people have become interested in Bi Xia, which has indirectly promoted the spread of Bi Xia's songs and novels in these places.
During this period, due to the unexpectedly popular results of the two places, Bi Xia also temporarily stopped the idea of "Buddha is the Way" and participated in a talk show in Xiangjiang and Baodao respectively, and the scene was also very hot at that time. After the talk show, Bi Xia has a deep foundation in the two places, and if he goes through one or two more movies, in addition to those original fans, he will add many die-hard movie fans.
A week after the film was released in both places, Japan and South Korea are finally going to start showing it. Unlike other countries in Southeast Asia, the two countries bought the distribution rights of "Savage Girlfriend" early, and now with the east wind of Xiangjiang Treasure Island, it is finally going to be screened.
The box office of China, Japan and South Korea in several Southeast Asian countries has always been the highlight, Japan has always been the largest film market in Asia, until a few years ago it was replaced by the Chinese mainland, and South Korea is far inferior to Japan and the Chinese mainland, but compared with several other small Southeast Asian countries, their box office is still far higher.
The influence of Chinese films in the two places is far greater than that of several other small Southeast Asian countries, the year before last "Three Kingdoms Red Cliff", which once won 58 million US dollars at the box office in Japan, and also had 18 billion won in South Korea, equivalent to more than 100 million box office. Although Chinese-language movies are in decline, some movies that can cater to everyone's tastes can still achieve good results.
Today, "Savage Girlfriend" has achieved unprecedented success in mainland China, Xiangjiang, and Baodao. has laid the foundation for its victory, and may be able to reproduce the achievements of Chinese films in the past.
"Sassy Girlfriend" has a good film schedule in both places, accounting for about 7% respectively, which is not high, and of course it is not low at the stage when blockbusters gather. After all, Bi Xia has no popularity in the two countries, and the reason why there is such a film schedule is because of the hot box office of "Savage Girlfriend" in the mainland and Xiangjiang Treasure Island, which greatly stimulated the theaters and distributors of the two countries and increased their publicity efforts.
The box office of "Sassy Girlfriend" in the two countries only depends on the word-of-mouth brought by the quality of the movie, and now the publicity is the bottleneck of "Sassy Girlfriend", who makes Bi Xia usually too low-key. Some of these activities can be pushed as soon as they can, so that few people in the two countries now know him.
At the same time, the opponent of "Savage Girlfriend" is also very strong, the American movie "Rich Man in the Slum" is about to be taken off the shelves, and the threat is not big, but another movie "Dark Man 3" is indeed a full money-absorbing machine, it will be on the same day as "Savage Girlfriend", and his 13% of the film schedule is far greater than "Savage Girlfriend", which will be another huge test. At the same time, there are also local movies such as "The Pianist" and "Alaska" in Japan, and "Sassy Girlfriend" does not have much chance of winning.
Although the opponent is strong. But Bi Xia is very much looking forward to the box office of "Sassy Girlfriend" in South Korea, which is a kind of psychology to say, and this movie is a miracle of the Korean box office in my memory, and it was because of this movie that the Korean Wave spread to the whole of Asia. It can be said that it is a movie with a special status in South Korea, and now that this movie has been presented in reality by Bi Xia Gu, and has returned to South Korea from the beginning, Bi Xia really wants to see its performance.
Although everyone is not very optimistic about the performance of the movie in both places. But there is no demand, "Sassy Girlfriend" has given everyone too many surprises so far, even if it succeeds in the two places, it is just the icing on the cake.
A day later. The first day of the box office of the movie in Japan was released, 15 million yen, this result ranked ninth at the box office in Japan on the same day, which is not bad, for previous Chinese films, this result is not bad, of course, compared to its performance in China, it is not satisfactory.
At the same time, the first day of "Sassy Girlfriend" in South Korea was 13,600 viewers, which ranked seventh at the Korean box office, better than Japan. Unlike in China, "Sassy Girlfriend" in the two places does not have an advantage in either aspect, so what can be relied on is nothing more than word-of-mouth, so the box office in the next few days is the key.
"Sassy Girlfriend" is successful because it portrays the two protagonists with distinct personalities, Myung-hee and Morning Glory, as well as a real and touching emotional story, which brings a touch of emotion in addition to laughter, and makes the audience sink unconsciously.
"It's very funny, the movie is very cheerful but very touching, different from the previous false and empty love, this kind of love that happens in daily life, people can't help but be attracted, the plot is tight and interesting. It's amazing to hear that the director is a twenty-five-year-old star, I admire him and I would recommend my family to see it, it's a good movie. ——Japanese netizens' film reviews on Fuji.com.
"This movie is amazing, this is a Chinese film, his blood is Chinese, but it is different from traditional Chinese films, his style is so popular, it is suitable for all Asian countries to watch. Of course, the story is very good, and Myung-hee is a representative of the typical modern woman, which is great, very perfect. "Korean movie fans.
At the end of the first day of the movie's release, it received very good reviews, and everyone actively recommended it online, bringing huge popularity to the movie.
Originally, the first-day box office in both Japan and South Korea could only be described as ordinary, and there were some sorry for the success of "Sassy Girlfriend" in the outside world, and the distributors in both countries were ready to slightly reduce its schedule to make way for other films, and they were understandable to do so. But after the box office results came out the next day, they were embarrassed.
The next day, "Sassy Girlfriend" earned 28 million yen in Japan, double the previous day's performance, and South Korea also achieved 28,700 viewers, ranking seventh and fifth in their country, respectively. These two results are not good, but they are huge improvements from the first day, which makes them very hesitant. Because at this time, the Hollywood blockbuster "Dark Man 3" swept 800 million yen in two days in Japan, and it reached 120,000 viewers in South Korea in one day.
It's just that the next development directly subverted everyone's cognition, and "Savage Girlfriend" turned out to be a dark horse, provoking all the heroes all the way, and staged a counterattack battle of dicks. (To be continued......)
