"The box office of "Strange Her" finally broke 1 billion, and the strongest rookie director in film history --- Chen Jing!" --- Qiandu Entertainment

……

On the morning of September 1, 2014, the mainland entertainment media and the Internet were inundated with the same news: "Strange Her" finally broke the 1 billion mark at the box office five weeks after its release!

After earning 62.85 million yuan last week, the cumulative box office of "Strange Her" has reached 979 million yuan.

With its strong word-of-mouth, "Strange Her" at this time has been released for nearly a month, and the comic score is still as high as 8.8 points, which attracts a lot of neutral fans for the film and provides a strong box office endurance.

Four weeks after its release, the industry is predicting that "Strange Her" is likely to exceed 1 billion box office in the 5th week of release, that is, the last week of August!

Otherwise, "Strange Her" will need to apply for a key extension!

As a result, "Strange Her" lived up to expectations and collected another 30.25 million yuan in the 5th week of its release, with a cumulative box office of 1.009 billion, officially breaking through the 1 billion box office mark!

"Strange Her" also became the third film in the mainland in 2014 after "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" and "Transformers 4" to break 1 billion at the box office.

It has also become the fourth domestic film in mainland film history to break 1 billion at the box office, and the seventh film in mainland film history to break 1 billion at the box office.

Chen Jing also became the second director in the mainland after Xu Zheng, and the only two directors to enter the 1 billion box office club!

Coincidentally, Chen Jing and Xu Zheng both achieved a box office of more than 1 billion with their debuts!

Chen Jing is different from Xu Zheng in that he is a super popular idol, so after "Strange Her" broke 1 billion, Chen Jing was red and purple, and purple was black!

Although the newly released "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2" has become the weekly box office champion, almost all the media are reporting on Chen Jing and "Strange Her", a magic comedy with a high reputation and high box office!

After successes in the field of singers and actors, in terms of directing, Chen Jing also became a god with her debut film!

Chen Jing also surpassed Deng Chao and Han Han, the two new favorites in the industry, and became the hottest director in the industry.

Young but with super popularity, mature and delicate film style, everyone thinks that Chen Jing is also a genius in film, just like in the field of music.

And Chen Jing, who has her own popularity and box office appeal, is undoubtedly more favored and expected by capital and the industry!

Countless capitals and companies are holding money in the hope of cooperating with Chen Jing!

The media praise is skyless, and only the elves can compete with them!

Liang is coming: Really, I rarely praise a person, but my brother is really amazing!

You omg: Singers, actors, directors, there is no one that my brother is not good at, my brother is such a genius!

Mingkit Ming: Brother, it should be the perfect man template deliberately created by God!

Too rare: 1 billion box office is not the end, we want to kill "Transformers 4" and become the champion in film history!

Dad Qi loves to read: How can such a brother not be loved!

……

"Strange Her" broke 1 billion at the box office, in addition to Chen Jing's biggest income, "Chen Girl" Li Qing also benefited a lot.

As the first 1 billion box office heroine in the mainland ("Thai Embarrassment" has no heroine in the real sense), the exposure and fame brought to Li Qing by a "Strange Her" are immeasurable.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that after the box office of "Strange Her" broke 1 billion, Li Qing instantly received 15 scripts, 5 advertising endorsements, and countless invitations to commercial performances.

There is no doubt that the businessmen's sense of smell is the most sensitive, and they all hope to take advantage of the moment when "Strange Her" breaks 1 billion to gain a wave of popularity.

Rong Xingda is also overjoyed, obviously the box office explosion of "Strange Her" has long exceeded their imagination, but Li Qing's popularity made them overjoyed, and they also treated Li Qing as the focus of their company at the moment!

They hope to be able to come out with another weekly news, or Yang Mi!

……

"Boss Chen, congratulations, it's really broken 1 billion!" Yang Mi was pleasantly surprised.

Chen Jing was very determined, "It's average! ”

Yang Mi then said coquettishly with a little milk voice, "You villain, you didn't give it to me for the first time." ”

"Ahem, ahem......" Chen Jing choked after hearing this, "I gave it to you for the first time!" ”

"Go, I'm talking about 1 billion." Yang Mijiao said angrily.

"Yes, it should be 1 billion for the first time!" Chen Jing touched her chin and thought about it.

"Fuck off!" Yang Mi didn't have a good breath and said, "Anyway, your 1 billion just didn't give it to me, hum!" ”

Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "Then I'll give you 2 billion in the future, okay?" ”

"2 billion, you liar!" Yang Mi said angrily, "How long do you have to wait for 2 billion?" ”

Chen Jing said with a smile, "I can't look far, don't you almost break 2 billion when you watch "Transformers 4", domestic movies may not work!" ”

Yang Mi thought about it after hearing this, and it seemed to be the same, "Then it's okay, if you break your promise again, I will bite you to death directly next time!" ”

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Chen Jing thought about the picture and felt charming, "When did I break my promise?" Besides, what did you promise me in the first place? ”

"Is there one? What's up? Yang Mi pretended to be stupid and said.

"Don't think about paying the bill, Sister Mi, I remember it clearly." Chen Jing smiled, "Okay, if you break 1 billion, just give it to me, cough cough, that's something." ”

Yang Mi rolled her eyes after hearing this, "You bastard thinks about beautiful things all day long, but even if I agree, no one, haha......"

Chen Jing heard this, "I don't care, this is what you promised, you will solve it!" ”

Yang Mi then smiled and said, "Then, how about Tianbao?" ”

"Sister Bao'er!" Chen Jing was stunned when he heard this, and then thought of the scene of stacking the two poplars together, "cough, cough, cough...... Good ......"

"Okay, you bastard, I know you have bad intentions for Tempo." Yang Mi said immediately.

Chen Jing suddenly said aggrievedly, "This is what you said, what's the matter with me!" I've been wronged so much! ”

"Hmph, what you think, you know it in your own heart." Yang Mi said.

Chen Jing smiled helplessly, "Sister Mi, you're just going to cheat, aren't you?" ”

"I'm just going to me, right?" Yang Mi said proudly, "It's a woman's nature to cheat, don't you know!" ”

"Well, I knew it was going to happen." Chen Jing said with regret.

Yang Mi paused when she heard this, "Hmph, don't think about beautiful things, unless it's 2 billion!" ”

"2 billion, you promise?" Chen Jing said with a smile.

"Yes, this time I'm talking!" Yang Mi said with a smile.

Chen Jing didn't take it seriously, "Okay, then let's go and see!" Okay, hang up first, Yang Tianzhen called. ”

"Okay, bye-bye!" Yang Mi said, "Remember, 2 billion!" ”

"Got it!" Chen Jing said, "Hey, Sister Yang? ”

"Boss, you know the news that "Strange Her" broke 1 billion!" Yang Tianzhen said with a smile.

"Well, I just saw the report." Chen Jing said with a smile.

""Strange Her" broke 1 billion at the box office in just one month after its release, but we feel that the film still has potential to be tapped, and it is only 34 million short of "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", and we feel that there is a chance to surpass it.

So, we've requested a key extension. Yang Tianzhen said.

Chen Jing nodded when he heard the key extension, he had often heard this word in his previous life.

The key is actually a concept of copyright protection, and the theater obtains an encrypted digital copy of the file before the release of the film, and as long as the key is obtained at the time of the release, the normal screening can be realized, avoiding the possibility of piracy due to the leakage of the film source in advance.

The key also contains schedule information, with its own time attribute, which can control the release time of the film in theaters, and the key time of most films is currently one month.

In other words, the normal release time of a movie is a month!

For example, "Small Times 3" and "After the End" were both released on July 17, and a month later, that is, on August 17, the two films were drawn.

It is normal for most films to be drawn after the film is released one month, and key extensions are not common.

Everyone has more or less heard of the key extension, and that is because the postponed films are all blockbuster films with high exposure, so everyone hears them more frequently.

But if you think that key extensions are common, it would be wrong, and it may be more common in later generations, because the box office market is hot in later generations, and there are more films that hit the box office.

But in 2014, there were not a few films that really hit the box office a year, so key extensions are still relatively rare.

In the past, the keys were postponed for box office blockbusters, such as "Avatar", "Titanic 3D", "Thai Embarrassment", "Let the Bullets Fly" and so on.

The key is postponed, the first factor is because of the hot box office, even after a month of release, it still has high box office potential, and these are undoubtedly box office blockbusters.

Or they want to create a genre benchmark and other purposes, such as the postponement of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" in the future, in fact, it is to make the box office of domestic animated films break through the 1 billion mark!

The postponement of "Monster Hunt" is also to surpass "Fast and Furious 7" and regain the box office champion in film history in the mainland!

This year's key postponement includes "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", "Dear" and "Breakup Master"!

"Strange Her" will be the 4th film to be extended in 2014.

The time for key extension is not necessarily, ranging from 2 weeks to 1 month.

And the key extension is not only 1 time, you can also apply for it multiple times, for example, "Titanic 3D" was extended 3 times!

Of course, key extension is not a panacea, the most typical is Jiang Wen's "One Step Away"!

"One Step Away", which was released on December 18 last year, was supposed to be offline on January 18 this year, but the key was later extended to February 8, and the release time was as long as 53 days.

The investment of "One Step Away" is claimed to be 300 million, and the box office before the release is expected to be 2 billion, but the cumulative box office of the film is only 515 million one month after its release, which cannot satisfy the filmmaker and cannot recover the cost.

So I made the decision to postpone the offline when I wanted to preserve the capital.

However, with so many new films being released, it will be difficult for this old film to survive even if it is postponed.

Because the market has passed the hot period, there are not many theaters willing to schedule films, and even the number of screenings given by theaters that schedule films has basically avoided prime time.

If there is no film schedule, how can there be a box office?

Therefore, the postponement of "One Step Away" does not have a big impact on the final box office revenue of the film, and it does not make much sense!

"Congratulations, boss, it's finally broken 1 billion!" Xiaodi is obviously also paying attention to the box office situation of "Strange Her".

"Thank you!" Chen Jing smiled, "By the way, how much did "Running Man" pay you? ”

Xiao Di smiled happily when he heard this, "8 million!" ”

Chen Jing nodded after hearing this, this salary is not low, Xiaodi participated in "Flowers and Youth", "To Youth", and "Little Times" series can be regarded as a well-known new generation of Xiaohua.

And as the only female member of the seven, she should get the third-ranked salary.

Among the salaries of running men, the lowest are Zheng Kai and Wang Zulan, which should be around 300-4 million, and Li Chen and Chen He are about 600-7 million.

The second highest is Deng Chao, as the captain of Deng Chao, 1 million in one phase, and "Running Man" is tentatively scheduled to shoot 12 episodes, that is, 12 million!

As for Chen Jing, the salary is the highest, a total of 15 million!

"By the way, today the Golden Eagle Goddess starts voting, you send a message to Xiaoying to pull down the vote." Chen Jing said, "Let Meina and Tianai also send it." ”

"Okay, boss!" Mina nodded.

"Brother, congratulations!"

"Boss Chen, it's amazing!"

"I want to touch the 1 billion directors up close!"

"1 billion, you have to have a treat!"

……

Everyone obviously saw the news that the box office of "Strange Her" broke 1 billion, Chen Jing accepted the congratulations with a smile, and then waved her hand, "After recording tonight, I have a treat, everyone has to come!" ”

"Okay, Boss Chen is magnificent!" Chen He was the first to give a thumbs up.

"No problem."

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

……

"Alright, we'll talk about the celebration in the evening." Deng Chao said, "It's almost six o'clock, let's go quickly!" ”

So, everyone changed into team uniforms, and then took the title sponsor Volkswagen Lingdu to the West Lake Cultural Square!

Yellow team: Deng Chao, Li Chen, Ma Su.

Blue team: Chen Jing, Xiaodi, Chen He.

Red team: Dou Xiao, Zheng Kai, Wang Zulan.

The first to arrive at the West Lake Cultural Square was the Deng Chao team, but the other two cars followed.

Li Chen, who got out of the car first, shouted: "Go, go!" ”

Seeing this, Ma Su immediately trotted up, and Deng Chao ran along.

Deng Chao and Li Chen shouted as they ran: "Run, brother!" ”

When the other two teams got off the bus and saw them running, they unconsciously followed suit.

Chen Jing's blue team was the last to arrive.

Chen Jing saw that Chen He couldn't run, so she pushed Chen He slightly from behind, "Speed up!" ”

"No, Boss Chen." Chen He looked helpless, "I injured my back before filming." ”

Chen Jing was stunned when she heard this, "Aren't you a cheater!" ”

"Get out!" Chen He said, reacting quickly.

Xiao Di thought about it before he reacted, and couldn't help but look at Chen Jing covering his mouth and laughing, "It's too bad, boss!" ”

"Men are not bad, women are not loved!" Chen Jing looked at Xiaodi's pretty face and smiled.

Xiao Di's face was slightly red when he heard this, and he smiled and looked at Chen Jing.

Chen He looked helpless when he saw this, "Hey, I'm a little redundant, I don't want to be in this team anymore!" I'm going to change teams, I don't want to be a light bulb! ”

Xiao Di smiled embarrassedly after hearing this.

Chen Jing said with a smile, "Okay, don't say it, hurry up and chase it!" ”

Soon, Chen Jing and the three of them caught up with the other two teams, because they all stopped.

Then everyone was out of breath and very dazed to see a group of aunts dancing in the square.

"You're my little apple

I can't love you enough

The little red face warms my heart

Light the fire of my life

Fire fire fire

……”

Everyone was stunned, and Wang Zulan, Li Chen, Ma Su, Dou Xiao, and Xiaodi, who didn't know what to do, all jumped up.

Chen Jing was smiling.

Suddenly, all the dancing aunts suddenly stopped, took something out of the bag they were carrying and began to lay on the floor.

"What to do? Practicing yoga? ”

"No, maybe it's a letter!"

"Morning workout, this is!"

……

All the members were confused and couldn't figure out the situation.

I saw that the aunts took out something one by one, and then spliced it piece by piece.

In the blink of an eye, you will see a circular track paved around the square, and there are various obstacles on it.

Some have to lie down on the drill ring, some have hurdles, and finally there is a horizontal bar on which you jump with an onion ring attached.

"Next up is the White Snake Shiatsu Morning Run!"

"Wow......"

"Shiatsu board?"

"Oh, it's the kind that has a massage."

"Please get the mission card first!" Lu Hao said.

"In the relay form, the three-person relay runs and needs to be completed in 90 seconds!"

After knowing the rules, Chen Jing glanced at the finger pressure board, this thing was naturally thunderous when he watched "Running Man" in his previous life, but it was also the first time he touched it, "It hurts to look at it." ”

Deng Chao asked, "Can I wear socks?" ”

"No, you have to run barefoot."

Chen Jing motioned to Deng Chao: "Brother Chao, you go up and try it first." ”

Deng Chao took off his socks, stepped on it, and suddenly shouted back: "Ah...... It hurts so much! ”

Everyone was startled, and Chen Jing laughed and said, "Is it so exaggerated?" ”

Chen Jing stepped on it barefoot as she spoke, but as soon as she stepped on it, Chen Jing fell to the ground instantly, and then fell unconscious.

"Hahaha......"

"Chen Jing is too good at acting!

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed, Deng Chao pointed at Chen Jing and said, "Still say I'm exaggerating?" Now I know it's amazing! ”

Chen Jing, who was lying there pretending to be unconscious, couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth.

Chen He suddenly walked to Chen Jing's side, glanced at Chen Jing and said, "This acupressure board is generally massaged to acupuncture points, Boss Chen must have been pushed to some acupuncture point." ”

Zheng Kai also came over with a smile, "Could it be that it hit the kidney?" ”

Then the two of them suddenly realized at the same time, "Kidney loss? ”

"Poof...... Hahaha......"

"Kidney deficit?!" When Xiao Di heard this, he glanced at Chen Jing, and suddenly his pretty face was slightly red, with a strange look.

"Is it true? Still unconscious? Deng Chao also made up the knife.

"Ah......" Chen Jing shouted, got up and chased after Chen He and Zheng Kai.

"It's a real kidney to beat people!" Chen He shouted.

"If you hit someone, you will lose your kidney!" Zheng Kai has a good example.

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed as they leaned forward and closed their backs.
