The box office of "Big Old Man" in the Xiangjiang market in the first week was 24.17 million.

August is not a good schedule, and after the first week, the box office growth rate of movies will be greatly reduced.

It is expected that the box office of this film in the Xiangjiang market should not exceed 32 million.

But this is already a good result.

So far this year, the highest-grossing movie in the Xiangjiang market is "A Thousand Changes", with a total box office of 28.42 million.

In other words, the box office of "Big Old" in the first week almost exceeded the total box office of "A Thousand Machine Changes"!

According to this growth rate, it is basically not a problem for "Big Old" to win the annual box office champion in the Xiangjiang market this year.

What's even more rare is that the reputation of this movie in the Xiangjiang market is also very good.

Professional practitioners, in particular, gave high praise to the film.

There are even media outlets that have listed this movie as a big hit at this year's Academy Awards.

On the other hand, in the mainland market, the reputation of this movie is not outstanding, and it has mixed reviews.

However, the box office of the film in the mainland market is even higher than that of the Xiangjiang market.

26.73 million.

This is the first week of box office for "Big Old" in the mainland market.

This data has surpassed the Hollywood masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings 2" and ranked fourth in the mainland box office list this year.

In front of it are "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "The Matrix 2", and "Finding Nemo".

In other words, "Big Old" has become the TOP1 of mainland Chinese films this year.

Movies are a business.

Filmmakers who can win awards may not be popular, but filmmakers who can make money must be popular.

Therefore, after the box office results came out in the first week, Du Qifeng became the hottest director in the film industry and was regarded as a guest by countless people.

There are also many people who want to invite Mu Rong to dinner, but Mu Rong is busy playing the semifinals, and if they want to see him, they will have to wait until after the boxing match at the earliest.

Mu Rong was in a good mood.

The total box office of "Big Old Man" is conservatively estimated to exceed 50 million, and according to the sharing ratio, he can at least share more than 1.6 million box office dividends.

This was his first serious cash income, and it also gave him a taste of the joy of investing.

He used his salary of 500,000 yuan to participate in the investment of "Big Old".

In half a year, 500,000 has become more than 1.6 million, and the yield has exceeded three times.

Movies are really good business!

Mu Rong couldn't help but think, can Huarong Film and Television also try to invest in making movies by themselves?

However, making a movie is not simple, you must have a good script, a good director, and a good actor.

In addition, shooting, publicity, distribution... There is a doorway for every link.

It's not something that can be done overnight, you have to figure it out slowly.

During the period of the release of "Big Old", the promotion of the semi-finals by the K-1 organizers has reached its peak.

In the two semifinals, the match between Mu Rong and Hiromi Amada became the focus of attention.

Japanese people also love their country and want to see their own players win.

And Mu Rong, as a wild card player, teased Shinzo Takeda like that in the group stage, in the eyes of the Japanese people, it also aroused the anger of many Japanese people.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

As a result, many Japanese viewers began to support Mu Rong's semi-final opponent, Hiromi Amada.

Hiromi Amada is a two-time thwart of mainland Chinese fighters, and the Japanese crowd has a lot of confidence in him.

Similarly, Hiromi Amada is also full of confidence in her own strength.

On the eve of the competition, the organizers invited Hiromi Amada and Mu Rong to participate in the pre-competition press conference.

Hiromi Amada declared directly in front of all the media at the press conference: Please get ready for the ambulance, he will break Mu Rong's bones with his own hands.

Talking harshly before a fight is a very common part of a fighting match, and it is also a means used by the organizers to increase the ratings.

However, many times, the contestants will also fake and bring personal grievances to the press conference.

Hiromi Amada obviously hopes to provoke Mu Rong, so she can give Mu Rong some color before the game.

Mu Rong would not be accustomed to his mouth cannon, and directly as he wished, he grabbed a bottle of mineral water, raised his hand and threw it out, hitting him in the mouth.

There was an uproar at the scene, and reporters picked up their cameras and pressed the shutter one after another.

The on-site staff quickly stepped forward to block between Mu Rong and Hiromi Amada, and they were very professional.

Such a scene happens every year, and they are already experienced.

"Hmm! Bah! ”

Hiromi Amada covered her mouth in pain, opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and there was a broken front tooth inside.

"Ahh Yaga! ”

He scolded in the wind, and rushed towards Mu Rong angrily, and the staff couldn't stop him.

Hiromi Amada was really angry.

He never imagined that before the game started, he was injured first, and his front teeth were smashed by a bottle of mineral water.

This can already be considered disfigured!

Although the difference is not much.

But just now he said that he was going to break Mu Rong's bones, but the next moment, his teeth were knocked out by Mu Rong, which was too embarrassing!

At the scene, Japanese reporters were also indignantly helping him fight grievances and denouncing Mu Rong.

"Sneak attack!"

"There is no samurai spirit!"

The Chinese reporter held back a smile while pressing the shutter frantically at Hiromi Amada, hoping to take a close-up of him showing his front teeth.

Seeing Hiromi Amada rushing over, the staff hurriedly rushed forward and desperately stopped him from getting close to Mu Rong.

There was also a wave of staff on the opposite side, blocking Mu Rong to prevent him from making further moves.

Hiromi Amada was like an angry bull, roaring at Mu Rong, reaching out to grab Mu Rong.

Mu Rong also rushed towards him, but happened to be stopped in front of a female staff member.

Suddenly, the female staff member seemed to have tripped over a foot from behind and leaned back.

Winter!

She just hit her headfirst on Hiromi Amada's mouth.

Peng!

Hiromi Amada was knocked back in the head.

Then, he lowered his head in a bit of confusion and opened his mouth to spit out.

Another front tooth.

Both of his front teeth are gone!

"Whew!"

Hiromi Amada roared angrily, and she was about to go crazy with anger.

He threw his fist at the female staff member who was squatting in pain with her head covered.

How dare this fool knock out his last remaining front tooth!

Peng!

He threw the female staff member to the ground with a single punch.

Seeing this, the scene was in an uproar!

Hiromi Amada actually beat the staff? Or a woman?

After a punch was thrown, Hiromi Amada also regained some senses.

Seeing the staff's long hair, he realized that this staff member was actually a woman!

Worst!

He was shocked.

When he raised his eyes again, he saw Mu Rong's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

It's all this guy's doing!

Hiromi Amada was immediately furious, and raised his hand to grab Mu Rong.

Swish!

As soon as Mu Rong flashed, he stood in front of the female staff, pointing at him and scolding him with righteous words: "Stop!" How can you beat up the staff! ”

Hiromi Amada couldn't understand what he was saying.

But seeing him scolding, Hiromi Amada was suddenly furious and threw her fist at Mu Rong again.

At this time, the female staff member who was knocked down staggered up and just stood in front of Mu Rong.

Seeing that Hiromi Amada was about to hit the female staff member again, the reporters at the scene suddenly exclaimed.

"Yikes!"

"Beware!"

Swish!

Mu Rong suddenly reached out and grabbed Hiromi Amada's fist with a volley.

Seeing this scene, the scene was instantly quiet, and Hiromi Amada was also stunned for a moment.

He knew very well that his backhand straight punch was basically above nine hundred pounds, even if he didn't use all his strength, there were seven or eight hundred pounds, and this Mu Rong caught it with one hand?

Suddenly, he felt a numbness in his wrist, and his entire arm suddenly lost strength.

Then, Mu Rong pinched his arm and twisted it backhandedly, twisting one of his hands behind his back.

Shocked in his heart, he hurriedly smashed an elbow at Mu Rong with his other backhand.

But Mu Rong directly used one finger to tap heavily in the recess below his elbow, and his hand was instantly numb, and Mu Rong pinched and twisted his backhand to his back.

Then, he felt a numbness in his knees, and his feet suddenly became weak, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Mu Rong twisted his wrists with both hands and pushed him hard, and he fell to the ground.

Glancing at the direction of the reporters' lenses with his spare eyes, Mu Rong put on the most handsome right cheek, stared at Hiromi Amada and scolded loudly: "It's okay to be disrespectful, but now you dare to beat a woman?" Don't you take my jade-faced little dragon in your eyes? ”
