Chapter 499 - Prying open the Japanese and Korean markets, the first person in the Asian film industry
"It's no wonder that he can mix in the mainland alone to this point of admiration, eye-catching and talented, his success is indeed not lucky!"
Listening to Brother Chic's humble statement, at that moment, these cunning people at the scene almost couldn't help but sigh secretly, and some ideas and ideas that were originally uncertain suddenly became affirmation.
After all, it is better to cooperate with a powerful and talented eye-catching boy than to cooperate with some guys who are arrogant and have no one in their eyes once they turn over!
And the most important thing is that people really have the value of cooperation, although in terms of influence, it is impossible to be as terrifying as Jiang Zhiqiang said, but even if it is discounted, it is also very box office appeal.
didn't mention what these guests were thinking, but Jiang Zhiqiang on the stage said with a smile: "Okay, then I will give you a rough report on the specific data of the global box office of the play "The True Colors of Men", excluding the mainland and Southeast Asia! ”
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was suddenly silent, whether it was reporters or guests in the circle, everyone hurriedly collected their minds, for fear of missing it, this is the best topic (topic) after all, isn't it?
As a successful person who is accustomed to doing it himself, Jiang Zhiqiang has a really unique habit, that is, he is very sensitive to data, not at all like some leaders, who have to read a report and read a manuscript, read a sentence and read a good manuscript, but was stammered by the reading, which made the audience anxious, and they couldn't wait to go up and help him read it.
"First of all, North America!"
When it came to business, Jiang Zhiqiang returned to a serious appearance. "Although due to the problem of the release schedule, this drama has encountered strong opponents for several weeks in a row, such as "Harry Potter", "Transformers", "My Grand Gay Wedding", "The Simpsons", etc., so that except for the mainland and Southeast Asia, it has not occupied the top spot in the local box office in any other parts of the world for any week......
He took a deep breath and suddenly raised his voice: "But it doesn't matter, because this drama has been the second on the weekly chart in North America for two consecutive weeks, and the seventh in the third week." ranked 15th in the fourth week, and in the fifth week, which was last week, the week that was about to be drawn, it still collected $1.59 million in the entire North America, so that the entire North American box office was 70.25 million US dollars, which is about 532 million yuan! ”
Speaking of this, before the guests applauded excitedly, Jiang Zhiqiang raised his voice again: "Although this box office data is less than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". set a record of $128 million for a Chinese film at the highest box office in North America, but this result completely surpassed the $53.7 million achieved by "Hero" in North America! ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
This moment. The audience applauded. All the guests applauded vigorously, and at the same time, they couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of their hearts.
"More than 500 million! Excluding the share of distributors and theaters, Huanyu also has at least 200 million in the account, plus the box office in Japan and South Korea, South America, Europe, and Australia, this Nima movie has made a lot of money! Why can't Lao Tzu encounter such a thing? ”
"Lin Xiaoming's luck is so good! The money earned from opening a drama is equivalent to someone else's opening dozens of films. It seems that the most profitable film and television entertainment company in Hong Kong this year is none other than Huanyu! I also run a film and television company, when will it be my turn? ”
"Damn, mistaken, what a mistake! Why didn't Lao Tzu buy the shares of Huanyu Entertainment Group earlier? It's been going up every day for a month. Now that the share has risen by 25%, I have lost an opportunity to almost pick up money! ”
"Nima. This is called one step to the sky! The first movie in his life sold 200 million US dollars worldwide, which is simply too good for popularity, status and future development! After today, there must be predators in China who are tempted and want to cooperate with Tang Xiaoshi, right? ”
……
The scene was full of commotion, almost everyone was chattering and sighing, reporters were grateful for someone's good luck, and the industry CEOs were envious, jealous and hateful, as for the big stars, they had different mentalities, both secretly regretting missed opportunities, some feeling sorry for themselves, and even some were jealous.
Of course, no matter how excited, shaken and painful everyone was, it didn't help anyway, so the guests quickly calmed down, and just continued to look at Jiang Zhiqiang on the rostrum.
"Since a long time ago, in addition to the mainland, the second largest market for Chinese films has always been Japan, and this drama is no exception!"
Lao ~ Jiang said calmly again: ""Hero" released in 03 is the best-selling Chinese film in Japan, and it has received a total of 34 million US dollars, about 4 billion yen, which is an unprecedented excellent result!" ”
He paused slightly, "But now, "The True Colors of Men" has broken this record, because the box office data of this drama in Japan is 39 million US dollars, about 4.6 billion yen, and it has also won the first place in the Japanese box office weekly list for two consecutive weeks, and more importantly, this movie is still not yet painted, and it still ranked tenth in the Japanese box office weekly list last week, which is likely to help "The True Colors of Men" break the record of the world's highest-grossing Chinese film set by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"! ”
There is no doubt that when the news was announced by Jiang Zhiqiang, the audience once again burst into thunderous applause, and the guests almost couldn't help but want to cheer, because this is the Japanese market!
If the American market is the ultimate fortress that all Chinese filmmakers want to conquer, then the Japanese market is definitely a bunker that countless Chinese people want to pry open.
No way, who called the hatred between China and Japan, it is too deep?
No matter what aspect it is, as long as the Chinese can make a fork in Japan, it can almost get great praise, because making Japanese money is really attractive!
What's more, does film still belong to the cultural industry? Exporting culture to the outside world is equivalent to soft aggression and brainwashing!
So this time, even many mainland reporters couldn't help but wave their fists, as excited as if they had picked up money, and even many people looked at the creators with a lot of friendly eyes, especially looking at Tang Xiaosheng who was smiling, which was a little bit of worship, which made someone feel a little inexplicable, and muttered in his heart: "Look at my brother's hair?" It's not my brother who speaks! ”
Someone didn't expect that just because the movie he starred in was so popular in Japan, many reporters had a strong admiration for him, although it seems too exaggerated to describe him as a "national hero", but there is really this trend.
In particular, in the first half of this year, Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture brazenly announced that the Diaoyu Islands belonged to Japan, which aroused strong disgust among countless enthusiastic young people in China, and their attitude toward Japan also became very angry.
Therefore, it is barely reasonable for someone to be inexplicably considered to have a little bit of a "national hero" feeling.
Well, Brother Chic didn't know that the Japanese box office was a big hit, and there was actually such a benefit, if he had known that he could have this kind of income, then why did he have to go to Japan to promote it! In that case, the box office numbers will definitely look better, and won't he get more praise?
Getting back to business, when everyone's excitement and excitement calmed down a little, Jiang Zhiqiang said: "In addition to the Japanese market, in South Korea, this movie is also very popular, directly breaking the box office record of Chinese films in South Korea held by "Hero"! ”
After a slight pause, he gave accurate data: "As of noon yesterday, the number of moviegoers in Seoul has reached 2.03 million, and this number of moviegoers multiplied by the ticket price of 8,000 won (about 40 yuan) is equivalent to about 80 million yuan, equivalent to 11 million US dollars." ”
"Gollum!"
When Lao ~ Jiang announced the result loudly, someone on the stage who had been smiling suddenly heard the sound of someone swallowing saliva below, which was obviously taken aback by the data!
Your sister, there are only 50 million people in South Korea, and as a result, you earned 80 million yuan here, which is equivalent to every Korean contributing 1.6 yuan to this movie!
The number of viewers of 2.03 million people is much weaker than that of "Han River Monster" (13.01 million, 2006), "The King's Man" (12.3 million, 2005), "Taiji Flag Fluttering" (11.74 million, 2003), and "Sebi Island" (11.08 million, 2003), and it is also much lower than the 7.44 million people just set by "Transformers".
But you know, this is the first Chinese-language film to break through 2 million viewers in South Korea! This is already a great victory, after all, "The True Color of Men" is facing two long-awaited Hollywood blockbusters.
This Nima was not strangled jointly, it is already a great blessing, and it can attract 2 million Korean viewers to buy tickets to enter the venue in this extreme predicament, isn't it worth admiring?
"It seems that the Asian market is really going to become his 'reserve'!"
A reporter from the mainland exhaled a sigh of relief very comfortably, and then said to a colleague next to him with a smile on his face: "I read several reports a few days ago, saying that the reason why Korean and Japanese fans go to watch this Hong Kong movie is almost all influenced by Tang Xiao, because he is the first Asian pop singer to win an award on the Grammy, and he is also the performer of the most clicked video on You Tubi, and his versatile and almost versatile acting ability is also greatly respected by young people in South Korea and Japan." ”
Speaking of this, he sighed a little complicatedly: "Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia have all been conquered by him, not to mention in China, my idol Fang Jackie Chan's throne of 'the first person in Asian film industry' must be pried away by him!" It's paradoxical to think about! Isn't this day coming too soon? ”
