No. 479: The box office easily exceeded 100 million in the first week, and there was no pressure to explode "King Kong".
What is shocking news?
The vast majority of people didn't expect at all, or something they never thought about, suddenly became a reality, then, the news is shocking.
On July 20, 07, when the vast majority of people were still chatting and farting with their colleagues, and lamenting that there was no long vacation to have a good time in the near future, a crazy message quickly appeared in the eyes of many people through the Internet, mobile phones and other channels.
"Here, I can responsibly announce the fact that "The True Colors of Men", which was simultaneously released in Asia at noon yesterday, had a domestic first-day box office of 21.25 million yuan, directly exceeding the 15 million first-day box office set by "The City Full of Golden Armor" last year."
Yu Dong, the president of Poly Bona, stood on the rostrum with a red face, and next to him were Lin Xiaoming of Huanyu Entertainment Group and Chen Musheng, the director of this film.
announced the first-day box office that countless people are concerned about, Yu Dong said loudly: "Although this data is less than the 22.4 million yuan just set by its biggest competitor "Transformers", I believe that everyone, as a reporter who is very familiar with the film industry, must be very clear that the number of screenings of our drama is only less than half of it, that is to say, if our screening times are doubled, "The True Colors of Men" is likely to create a luxury record of 40 million on the premiere day, in short, We are still glorious even though we are defeated! ”
Yu Dong finished speaking with a slightly excited expression, as the investment boss of this film, Lin Xiaoming, of course, also had to speak, he took the microphone and said with a smile on his face: "As a Hong Kong film." The film also received great popularity in Hong Kong. Although we only have 45 cinemas. Compared with last week's Hong Kong release of "Harry Potter 5", it is more than half, but we still set an excellent result of 2.8 million on the first day, if this number is in the history of Hong Kong's premiere box office, it can occupy the top 30, because the box office of the fifth-ranked "Heroes of the World" is only 3.7 million on the first day, this data is definitely the first Hong Kong film this year, and it is also the top 5 among all the movies released in Hong Kong. ”
Lin Xiaoming doesn't need to hide his smile at all, after all, if he doesn't laugh at the box office. Is he still ready to cry?
He grinned and added: "This data is the highest-grossing film on the first day of all self-made films since our company was put into production, and I am very satisfied and sincerely feel honored!" ”
After the last, Chen Musheng, as a director, also smiled and said: "I have nothing to say, as a well-known commercial film director, of course I hope that my work can be a hot seller, fans are willing to buy it, and after watching it, I am already very happy." In the future, I will definitely work harder and strive to shoot more successful works that everyone will enjoy! ”
The "Big Three" all gave their own testimonials. Next, naturally we can't let the reporters run in vain, and there is no need to use the master of ceremonies or anything, Yu Dong waved his hand and said frankly: "Everyone must have a lot of questions to ask us, and we are honest, and we are in a very happy mood, so we can give you 45 minutes to ask questions, and we can ask any of the three of us, but the ugly words are in front, don't waste time on some questions that are not easy to answer, and we won't say it if we ask!" ”
Well, the big guy deserves to be the big guy, Yu Dong's unceremonious vaccination did not make the reporters present feel in an uproar, on the contrary, everyone raised their hands very actively, almost not shouting: "Choose me, choose me!" ”
As the largest private film distribution company in China, Poly Bona naturally has its own media that are very close to it, and there are many of these media, and almost everyone comes to visit.
However, the relationship is recent, and the biggest one is "China Film Report", and the backstage of the family is CCTV + Film Administration.
Therefore, Yu Dong unceremoniously and directly named the latter, so everyone saw a beautiful female reporter standing up in disgrace and asked very professionally: "I want to ask President Yu Dong, do you think that according to the box office results on the first day yesterday, this drama can surpass "Transformers" in the mainland market?" At the same time, with such an excellent performance of this movie, do you still insist that the mainland box office is close to about 80 million? ”
There is no doubt that both of these issues are very professional, and they are certainly of great concern to many insiders and laymen, as long as you look at the reactions of other reporters on the scene.
Smiling and glancing at the reporters who were all listening attentively, Yu Dong nodded and said: "The first question is actually I don't know the truth, because "Transformers", which has been released for more than a week, is still hot at the box office, and it still has millions of box office receipts every day, according to the general four-week release time, if it is completely drawn, the total box office is likely to exceed 250 million, I am not wrong, right?" ”
He paused slightly, and the reporters all nodded in agreement to accept this prediction, so he said: "Although I can't predict whether "The True Color of Men" can surpass the total domestic box office of "Transformers", but I believe that if we talk about the box office in the first week alone, our film will definitely surpass it, because we have all sold out of tickets in the last few days, and theaters around the country are still actively contacting us to buy copies, maybe tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, hundreds of new theaters across the country will release our movies. In that way, the box office of "The True Color of a Man" can definitely easily exceed 100 million in the first week, surpassing the 116 million set by "Transformers" without any pressure! ”
At this point, he had to pause, because the reporters all couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, and everyone seemed to be frightened by this answer, and all of them couldn't help but have surprises and disbelief on their faces.
Your sister, you really crushed "Transformers"! This latter is a Hollywood blockbuster that has just set countless new records in the domestic film industry!
And the box office easily exceeded 100 million in the first week? This Nima is simply the total box office of all domestic films, okay?
Take a look at "Wu Ji", "Hero", "Night Banquet", "Golden Armor", ...... These blockbusters, this series of so-called domestic blockbusters with huge investments, except for "Hero" and "Golden Armor", which one of the others broke through the box office of 200 million yuan in the domestic market? Almost all of them are more than 100 million points, and there are even those who only earn tens of millions, not to mention the loss of almost being underwear, and they have been sprayed bloodied by countless fans.
So it is conceivable that when reporters heard Yu Dong easily say, "The box office in the first week can definitely easily exceed 100 million, surpassing the 116 million set by "Transformers" without pressure!" When they said this, their hearts were so restless.
Your sister! Is the spring of domestic movies really coming? Could it be that the golden age of real money has officially begun?
Last year, "Golden Armor" almost broke through 100 million in the first week, reporting 96 million, and this year, "The True Colors of Men" is even more terrifying firepower of "Transformers", and it was all full in the first 5 days of the week, even if it does not increase the number of theaters and shows, it will be released according to the current situation, multiplied by 21.25 million in 5 days, and the box office in the first week will be 106.3 million, if it really adds more than 100 movie theaters and thousands of screens, it will .......
Reporters couldn't dare to continue imagining, because they knew that this first-week box office figure was likely to be terrifying, and it would definitely shake the domestic film industry, even the Asian film industry, and even Hollywood, and they would be attracted to attention.
After all, "Transformers" is one of the strong contenders for the top spot in the North American box office this year, or Hollywood's super blockbuster that has conquered the world, but it capsized in Chinese mainland, such a 'small pool' that has always had no resistance to Hollywood blockbusters, so will Hollywood reporters and practitioners not be curious and not actively or passively investigate?
When you think about it, journalists are really going crazy, because it means endless news and easy work!
At this time, Yu Dong continued: "If I still continue to announce with a clear conscience that I am very satisfied with more than 80 million in the mainland, maybe everyone will not scold me for pretending, but they will definitely scold me to death in their hearts." ”
In the laughter of the reporters, Yu Dong waved his arm neatly and said loudly: "So in order not to be scolded by everyone, and in order to reflect my strong confidence, I now announce that the box office of "The True Color of a Man" in the mainland, I think I will be satisfied with at least 200 million yuan, and the total global box office is about the same as the 400 million predicted by Mr. Tang Xiaosheng, one of the leading actors! ”
In the end, he also jokingly said: "Maybe before the release of the next drama, I should really invite Mr. Tang Xiaosa to give us a prediction data, because his prediction is really accurate, even better than our market analysts, so I think that even if he doesn't become a superstar, he can still change careers and become a box office analysis powerhouse in our industry!" ”
His words made the scene burst into laughter, but everyone knew that his words were just a joke, and Tang Xiao, who earns tens of thousands of yuan or even hundreds of thousands of yuan in minutes, will come to you as a market analyst? Unless you come up with 1 billion a year, don't even think about it.
Of course, the most important thing is that in the eyes of reporters, this box office prediction is not Tang Xiaoshuang's so-called accurate vision at all, but that he knows his fans too well, and knows that they will do their best to resist him, so he dares to shout such a high number.
After laughing, Yu Dong shouted: "The reporter of "New Wolf Entertainment", you can ask questions! (To be continued......)
