Chapter 596: Unbelievable box office
Just as she was watching the TV with a grim face, the phone screamed like crazy.
"Hey!" She picked up the phone in a very bad mood and said.
"Chairman! Oh no! Sony's artists actually organized a general strike collectively......"
"Smack!" Huang Wenying slammed the phone and lay down on the chair in a fit of rage.
Quite a while! It's only half a day!
Jay Chou, Luo Zhixiang, Wang Lihong, the three hottest people in Taiwan, plus the diva Zhang Huimei, spoke together, making her a mess.
Her eyes were glued to the trailer for the rallying number, and her eyes were a little red.
What to do?! What to do?
The top is the pressure from above, and the bottom is the mouth of Yoyo.
No matter which side she is, she has to be scrupulous!
"Boom!" The door was pushed open, and the secretary rushed in with a panicked face, and said anxiously, "Chairman! The vice chairman and dozens of artists of the Film Association have submitted resignation applications! You see......"
"Smack!" A cup shattered at her feet, and the secretary was too frightened to speak.
"These bastards......" Huang Wenying's lips trembled, and a pair of pink fists clenched the color of dead white, "actually threatened me...... actually threatened the Film Association......"
Her voice was undulating uncalmly, and her eyes were fixed on the rallying cry on the computer screen, as if she wanted to eat the other person.
"Chairman ......" The secretary looked at her face for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "Now, the vice president, they are waiting in the hall for ......"
"What!" Huang Wenying almost roared.
Forcing the palace! She was forced into the palace!
She held the arm of the chair and pinched the armrest so that it clicked.
Silence, death-like silence.
"Release." In the middle of the night, a voice of gnashing teeth sounded.
"Huh?" The secretary thought he had misheard.
"Release! Release! Huang Wenying's anger all broke out: "Issue a pass to the assembly number!" All released! ”
After yelling at this, she seemed to have aged a few years and collapsed on the chair.
In the end, she chose Yoyo Kou.
At eleven o'clock that night, the Film Association compromised, and the turmoil ended in a complete victory for the artists!
The assembly number immediately entered the approval process, and Huang Wenying held an impromptu press conference with a stiff smile on her face, claiming that all the processes would be completed within three days.
In the political arena, no one has stood up to speak from beginning to end, as if this matter has nothing to do with them at all, and is just the personal meaning of the Film Association.
No one knew that before this, Lin Xiao and Sony's kings and queens met once, and no one knew what deal they made.
The masses only know that this record-breaking film in the mainland has finally been released in Taiwan!
On the first day, there were still several local movies and rallying calls in Taiwan. However, the next day, the assembly suddenly ushered in an explosive growth, suppressing all other films and standing out from the crowd!
The quality of the film began to show.
"I've seen the best war movie." At the entrance of the theater, idle reporters stopped by to interview people who came out of the theater.
He was surprised to find that many people had tears in their eyes.
"I never thought of seeing a movie and seeing tears." One girl said with tears in her eyes, "That bloody feeling...... I really watched the movie to know that although it was a film on the other side...... I still sincerely admire the PLA in the film! ”
"Taiwan can't make this kind of blockbuster." After a senior fan left the theater, he did not shy away from saying to reporters, "I highly recommend all Taiwanese to watch it, it's really a good movie!" It's definitely better than all the films at the end of the year! ”
Very few people say it's boring!
This kind of survey results surprised the reporters.
Word of mouth was established invisibly in this way, and then, on the second day, the third day, the crowd rushed into the theater like a snowball, making the Taiwanese film and television industry jaw-dropping!
There was no premiere, no publicity except for Dawn, no artificial momentum, and it simply used word-of-mouth to achieve a snowball effect!
Taiwan, a small place, is a place where soldiers must fight, its population is not large, but the box office can be comparable to the entire mainland!
At this moment, not only Taiwan is paying attention to this silent film, but the mainland is also paying attention.
This is a representation of whether the culture of the mainland can enter Taiwan! When a seed is planted, it can take root and sprout.
Taiwan's box office ranks in the top 20, and there is no mainland film! And at this time in 04, there is no Taiwanese film either!
The champion, the same Titanic! And it far exceeds the mainland's 360 million, reaching a terrifying height of 800 million yuan!
On the list, Spielberg's masterpiece Jurassic Park, 450 million box office!
Tanhua, last year's Lord of the Rings trilogy. The king is back, 400 million box office!
The assembly number, on the first day, only had a box office of three million, and it did not attract anyone's attention, which is decent for a blockbuster made by 70 million. The next day, however, that number suddenly doubled!
6.8 million box office! It surprised all Taiwanese filmmakers.
This number has reached the first-line standard! With the current decadence of Taiwan's film industry, Mandarin film and television can reach seven or eight million, which is simply a benchmark!
On the third day, the box office of the assembly number reached 8.8 million on the first day!
This made the atomic impression in charge of the distribution even laugh from mouth to ear.
Taiwan's depressed film industry has made more than 6 million enough to be called a blockbuster, and a mainland film has reached 8 million, approaching 9 million!
You must know that Taiwan's king of daily income is 12 million!
On the fourth day, the rallying number rushed to the box office of 10 million, and the film industry was full of praise!
However, there are also people who have voiced different voices.
"Be wary of the cultural offensive on the mainland! Look at how many Taiwanese blockbusters are still there now? How many people dare to make blockbusters? It's already Hollywood! Do you want to have another mainland film and television?! ”
His voice did not get any response. Because more film critics gave the assembly number a very high evaluation!
"Deep, true! Not only the mainland, but also Taiwan does not have such a good war movie! ”
"As we all know, war films with anti-war themes are the best war films. There is not a single word in the assembly number mentioning anti-war, but it always reveals the heavy meaning of anti-war, which makes us have to marvel at the whimsy of the director and screenwriter. ”
"This film has made me see what a genius screenwriter, a genius director, and a genius artist are, especially when these three are still alone! It's unimaginable! When will this kind of artist appear in Taiwan! ”
"I never watched mainland films before, starting from the painting skin, it began to explode, and it accumulated the heritage of five years ago."
The assembly number was released for a week.
The mainland box office is 180 million! Taiwan's box office is 100 million!
In these two places alone, Dawn can share more than 100 million yuan! After repaying the loan, you will make a profit of tens of millions!
This is not counting the DVD, not counting the on-demand broadcast after the assembly number of the dawn, full of Chinese civil servants, government personnel, military police, only a small part of it, and it has only been a week!
The name of "Money Printing Machine" is once again hung on Dawn.
However, no one takes it easy!
180 million in the first week! All video records have been broken! Including Lucas's Star Wars, including Spielberg's Jurassic Park, and Cameron's Titanic!
Local films, if they are really done well, there is no hope for foreign films to enter, because that kind of national spirit, ethnic cohesion, is not the same culture, even the same state, it cannot be understood!
Everyone's eyes are anxiously waiting for a month later, whether the Titanic's total box office record can be broken!
At the same time, the rallying call for the whole Asia-Pacific region to India kicked off.
South Korea, the rallying cry will face the battle, will be an investment of 13 billion won, which is equivalent to 80 million yuan, four years of preparation, the same war film, the masterpiece of South Korean director Kang Digui, the Taiji flag fluttering.
In Japan, the giant Hayao Miyazaki's "Howl's Moving Castle", "Doraemon" Theaton Movie Version, and "Pokemon" have made another effort, and the form of the assembly number is also not optimistic.
This highlights the huge difference between the three countries, South Korea, local films are rising rapidly, Japan, 3D films are almost a failure if there is no 2D support, and China is going through a tortuous and difficult development process.
CJ, the South Korean publishing giant responsible for the distribution of the rallying number, has created a lot of momentum for the rally, calling it "China's version of Taiji Banner", while Japan has promoted it as "painting the skin screenwriter, director, and starring in the original cast again." ”
At the box office on the first day, the Tai Chi flag fluttered and won the previous $3 million, and the assembly number only won more than $2 million.
Not only that, none of the films released at the same time surpassed the Tai Chi flag flying.
This is the embodiment of the spirit of the Korean nation, just like the assembly number giant in China. This kind of gap, even if Shuguang desperately publicizes, it will be useless, and it can only slowly warm up after the limelight of Taiji Banner.
On the contrary, it was Japan, which unexpectedly won $5 million and was firmly in the top ten.
What everyone didn't expect was that a god sticker in South Korea actually made the box office of the assembly number grow by leaps and bounds.
The author is an idle professor in South Korea, who has nothing to do, and when he has nothing to do, he looks at both the assembly number and the Taiji flag, and the results are strikingly contrasted.
"At the end of this year, the Taiji Flag is on its own, and this is a must-see movie for every citizen of the Republic of Korea! It is a history that cannot be erased from Korea. 'South Korea's Spielberg' director Kang Di-gyu's shot, Jang Dong-jian, Won Bin's joining, the perfect background, the perfect plot, and the perfect acting skills make this film in a perfect realm. ”
"After reading the Taiji Banner, I couldn't get enough of it, so I looked for the 'assembly number' issued by CJ, but I didn't expect it, but it made me see a surprising scene."
"Very similar war scenes, oh, I'm not talking about the same scenes, China has its own style, I'm talking about that feeling. The handling of props and backgrounds, Lin Xiao, a newcomer to the director, is almost the same as director Jiang Digui! It almost scared my eyes out! ”
"Then, there's the style of the film. Seeing the big with the small, the helplessness of the little people in the big environment, and the spirit of not abandoning and not giving up, is so similar, if it weren't for the Chinese words spoken in this film, if it weren't for the director and the artist, I almost thought that director Jiang Digui went to China to shoot a new film! ”
