141: Global box office miracle!

The North American market is a global bellwether.

After this data broke out, the whole world was boiling.

What followed was a box office frenzy around the world.

The first is Japan, which is one of the world's largest markets outside of North America.

And the Chinese-language films that have set global box office miracles before have almost all been successful in Japan without exception.

Even, before the North American box office came with miracle news, the Japanese box office had exploded, and it was getting more and more explosive.

But there are also some places where the box office is a bit difficult to describe.

For example, Xiangjiang, Baodao, and the Korean market.

The film market in these three places is already very mature.

But the performance of mainland films in these three markets is very average.

For example, in the Xiangjiang market, the best result is "Hero", which got 24 million Hong Kong dollars, followed by "The City Full of Golden Armor" is about 18 million.

But there is a special reason why these two movies are good at the box office in Xiangjiang, needless to say the heroes, almost all of them are Hong Kong stars, especially the kung fu superstar, who has great appeal in Xiangjiang itself.

What really created a box office miracle in Xiangjiang should be "Let the Bullets Fly" two years later in another world, although it was only 12 million.

But although this movie has a fat brother, whether it is from the cast or the theme of the movie, it should not be what Xiangjiang people like.

In short, it is difficult for mainland films to get a particularly successful box office in Xiangjiang.

In another world, as of 2019, the first place in the total box office list of Hong Kong is "Avengers 4", 221 million Hong Kong dollars.

The second place is Avatar, 179 million Hong Kong dollars.

In third place is Avengers 3, 153 million.

That's right, the top three are all Hollywood movies.

In fact, further back, it has always been No. 23, and it is all Hollywood movies.

The best result of a Xiangjiang movie is "Cold War 2", ranking 26th.

As for mainland films, none of them are in the top 50, and they can't even get into the top 100.

"Three-Body Problem 1", Xiangjiang was also released on July 18.

Although it has created an unprecedented box office miracle in the mainland, in Xiangjiang, it is only okay, with a box office of 11.5 million in the first week.

It's definitely good, according to the normal trajectory, it is a high probability event to surpass "Heroes", but it is far from a miracle.

After this box office data came out, many filmmakers in Xiangjiang said that they were disappointed with this data, and there should be no such box office.

And called on the audience of Hong Kong to enter the cinema to enjoy this unprecedented masterpiece.

But the effect is still mediocre.

But after the first week of the North American box office came out, the whole world went crazy.

The box office in Xiangjiang began to explode, the Korean market began to explode, and even the box office in Treasure Island began to explode, and the box office in Australia exploded.

As for Europe, it is probably the most arrogant group in the world.

Of course, Hollywood films have swept the European market, but the mainstream attitude here has always taken a relatively contemptuous attitude towards Hollywood productions.

On the one hand, the market is occupied by others, and on the other hand, they look down on the commercialization of Hollywood movies.

He said no, but his body was quite honest.

So after the Three-Body Problem 1 was released in Europe, the results were very good, but there was no big explosion.

After the news came out in North America, the box office in Europe rose, but it still didn't explode.

But it's not that good, it's still a good result that has never been better.

..................

The most terrifying is still in the country.

After the box office data came out in the second week, the whole country was completely speechless.

The box office for five days in the first week of release was 327 million.

And the box office in the second week reached an astonishing 489 million.

Not only did it reverse the decline, but it also rose by 50%.

Everyone was really stunned, and the box office reached 816 million in two weeks after its release.

What will be the final box office?

Immediately afterwards, the global first-week box office except for China also came out.

$141 million, including $83 million for the North American market.

In other words, with the addition of China, the total global box office has reached $249 million.

And the global box office of "Star Wars Prequel 1" is $890 million.

It's not hopeless to hit this achievement.

And it was the second week of the North American market that really shocked the market.

The box office in the first weekend was 64 million.

In the second week, the number of venues for screenings rose from 2,500 to 4,000.

As a result, the box office reached $73 million the following weekend.

A truly unprecedented reversal.

Even if it has achieved a reverse decline in the Chinese market, it has also staged such an amazing miracle in the North American market.

The box office reached a staggering $115 million the next week, and $198 million in North America.

It's certainly a long way from the $474 million of Star Wars Prequel 1.

But it's not hopeless.

The scariest thing is the global box office.

The box office of "Three-Body Problem 1" in China finally dropped a little in the third week, but it also had 430 million yuan, so the total box office came to 1.236 billion yuan.

In the second week of the world, due to the word-of-mouth influence of the North American market, it reached a staggering $160 million.

So, on the day of August 8th.

The global box office of "Three-Body Problem 1" reached a staggering $416 million.

Everyone has to face one fact.

The final box office of "Three-Body Problem 1" is likely to surpass "Star Wars Prequel 1".

The most critical thing is that in all the film reviews, "Star Wars Prequel 1" has mixed reviews, but "Three-Body Problem 1" is almost unanimously praised.

From Rotten Tomatoes to IMDB and other global rankings, all of them are high scores.

Of course, these scores have decreased to a certain extent compared to when they were just released, but the scores are still very high.

What's even more terrifying is that the global box office curve has entered its third week, but there is no obvious trend of box office decline.

Then everyone had to face a fact.

More than two years ago, what was considered completely impossible to happen, will really happen.

This incredible miracle.

It really happens.

Moreover, several well-known forecasting companies around the world have published reports.

The global box office of "Three-Body Problem 1" may eventually exceed $1 billion.

The Chinese market, in particular, may reveal a completely unbelievable statistic.

Because the audience in the Chinese market has gone crazy, many viewers have been constantly rewatching this movie in order to win Wang Huan.

And these agencies predict.

"Three-Body Problem 2", which will be released five months later, is likely to explode into an even more amazing box office miracle.

Because the scene of the second part is bigger, and the plot is more intense.

The three-body man, who countless viewers have been waiting for a long time, is finally going to attack the earth, and the space war between the two sides is coming.

So the real climax of the movie is coming.

Then a question arises.

If "The Three-Body Problem" really beat "Star Wars Prequel" at the box office, then what about the President of the United States?

Do you really want to apologize to Wang Huan in person as in the gambling game?

At this time, the media in the United States could no longer hold back and kept asking questions of the soul.

"President, are you ready to apologize?"

"Mr. President, are you ready to retract your previous stance of criticizing the Beijing Olympics?"

Eventually, of course, the world's media all became a uniform format.

If Wang Huan wins.

So will the President of the United States apologize?

This is what the US media asked, and then many media around the world asked the same question.

Almost all of them have been swiped by this problem.

One day, at a normal press conference, it was really just a regular meeting

Despite repeated warnings beforehand, don't ask questions.

But at the regular meeting of this live TV broadcast, there was still a reporter with an iron head who asked: "Mr. President, now it seems that it is a high probability event that the box office of "The Three-Body Problem" will surpass "Star Wars Prequel", although it was completely unimaginable two years ago, but now it seems that Wang Huan is likely to win such a gamble, so will you apologize to Wang Huan at that time? Will you change your stance on the Beijing Olympics?"

As soon as these words came out, the US president left without looking back.

Anyway, the regular meeting is over.

..................

At this time, Wang Huan began global publicity.

He went to Xiangjiang, to Southeast Asia, to Japan, and then to Europe.

After going to Europe, I was ready to go to North America to promote it.

However, this regular White House meeting was like a catalyst.

At this time, Wang Huan was in France, and he received a phone call, it was someone from Sony Pictures, asking to meet.

In a small restaurant, Wang Huan met this senior executive of Sony Pictures.

=

"Mr. Wang Huan, I would like to tell you a very unfortunate news. Starting next week, the number of venues for the release of "Three-Body Problem 1" will be greatly reduced. ”

Wang Huan shuddered, this day has finally arrived.

"How much?" Wang Huan asked.

"500. The other party said.

has been reduced from 4,200 to 500, what a halving of the box office.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Wang Huan, we really tried our best, but this willpower is too great, and it is not only from the White House, we really can't resist. The other party said.

Of course, Wang Huan knows that this is not just pressure from the White House.

If this gamble is just for the US president to apologize to Wang Huan, there will be no problem.

In the interests of capital, the face of the president of the United States is not so valuable.

But...... It involves a change of stance on the Beijing Olympics.

The stakes are huge, and they are not just a few hundred million dollars, or billions of dollars.

In another world, until 2008, before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the struggle was turned white

Even at the beginning of the Olympic Games, Russia and Georgia were in full swing.

And when the Olympics were about to open, the president of the United States said that he would come to attend the opening ceremony.

And in 2008, I don't know how many things happened.

At a certain time that year, I don't know how many countries in the Western world were boycotting the Beijing Olympics.

"Mr. Wang Huan, not only the North American market, but also the European market and the Australian market will reduce the film schedule on a large scale. It is not a ban on the surface, but it will be secretly blocked, and it will never let the box office of "The Three-Body Problem" exceed that of "Star Wars Prequel". ”

At this time, the other party couldn't help but say: "Mr. Wang Huan, you shouldn't have mentioned the position of the president of the country on the Beijing Olympics at that time." If we just apologize to you, then we have enough lobbying power, after all, no one is at odds with money. ”

Wang Huan said: "I know. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Sony Pictures said, "Mr. Wang Huan, by the way, I will tell you something. Not only will they reduce the schedule of "The Three-Body Problem" around the world, but they are also preparing to break out a huge scandal of yours, and it is a scandal with ironclad evidence, please be prepared. ”

Is this a vote?

The other party is desperately saying that my interests and yours are completely identical.

We did this out of necessity.

..................

The following week.

What caught countless viewers off guard really happened.

The world market is massively reducing film scheduling.

Especially in the hot North American market, the number of theater venues has suddenly decreased from 4,200 to 500.

Almost 90% of the number of games was cut outright.

There is also the European market, which has also been cut by 70%, and the Australian market has been cut by 90%.

South Korea, cut 70%.

The Japanese market was less affected, with a 40% drop.

The Southeast Asian market has a small impact, only cutting 20% of the sessions, but its market is too small.

There is also the Russian market, which has increased by 20% instead of cutting the number of sessions, but its market is not large enough.

The box office miracle, which was originally very popular, was stopped in an instant.

The box office of "Three-Body Problem 1" had already soared to $530 million.

Surpassing "Star Wars Prequel 1" is completely certain.

And now, in an instant, it is strangled.

As for what reason?

Sorry, there's no reason for that.

To tell the truth, do you still need a reason to suppress you?

And it didn't take you well?

It's just a reduction in film scheduling, it's just a normal business practice, what reason is needed?

Of course, in this way, the president of the United States will definitely be scolded, saying that he can't afford to lose.

But the president of the United States has to be scolded countless times a year, and even has his stinky shoes thrown at the press conference, but so what?

Moreover, the president's term of office is only one year.

At this time, Wang Huan was faced with a choice, he was originally going to the United States for propaganda.

Or rather, to thank the audience over there and hold a celebration party.

But now, the U.S. market has been blocked, so can it go or not?

And Wang Huan will be in danger if he goes at this time?

If you don't go?

On the American side, the itinerary has been announced, and a grand meeting will be held at the Chinese Grand Theater.

Besides, if Wang Huan was not blocked by the North American market, but won, it would not be to go to the United States.

Because he wants to accept the face-to-face apology of the President of the United States?

After hesitation, Wang Huan still did not choose to refund the ticket, and still chose to go to the United States.

..................

On August 13, Wang Huan boarded a plane to the United States.

And just minutes after he boarded the plane.

A set of photos broke out on the website in the United States.

The diva superstar Lin Bing entered Wang Huan's car, and the two kissed.

There is also a photo taken at the Conservatory of Music, where Zuo Ling and Wang Huan hug and kiss.

Moreover, the interval between the two photos should not exceed three days.

This group of photos caused a certain amount of buzz on American websites, but the extent was only average.

After all, in the American entertainment industry, there are such bloody things.

Even more exciting, the little diva was photographed without wearing the nein, and it didn't cause any amazing storms.

But this set of photos soon spread around the world.

Especially on domestic websites.

It detonated in an instant.

Wang Huan stepped on two boats.

Then news broke out that Wang Huan not only stepped on two boats, but stepped on three boats.

His relationship with the diving queen Bai Xue is also ambiguous.

Soon, photos of Wang Huan and Bai Xue appeared on some forums.

There was no kiss or hug, but the demeanor was very intimate, especially Bai Xue's eyes looking at Wang Huan, which couldn't be concealed at all.

The domestic authorities are still vigilant, and when these photos first appear, they directly notify these portals.

Delete, delete, delete

It must not be disseminated or reported.

And it was the relevant departments that directly ordered and called the bosses of the websites of the major portals.

But it is well known.

This kind of thing, once it breaks out, can't be stopped at all.

It can't be deleted at all, it is definitely a wildfire that can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

The more forbidden it is, the more widely it spreads.

Related photos, spread like crazy.

Of course, these photos are not overdone at all, let alone exposed.

Just, hugs and kisses.

But in the country, this is already a super taboo.

How many celebrities, once it is revealed that they have extramarital affairs, they are directly refrigerated and blocked.

Wu Moubo.

Bai Mouhe.

Even the article, he was just faintly photographed, and there was no particularly solid photographic evidence, but he was also cold.

And Wang Huan!

was actually photographed pedaling two boats, less than three days apart, hugging and kissing two different women.

And most likely pedal three boats.

Although there is no intimate action in the photo with Bai Xue, Bai Xue's eyes are abnormal at first glance, as if she is in love.

Pedal on three boats?!

It's so exciting!

This is completely contrary to domestic morality.

So in just a few hours, this "scandal" instantly detonated the entire domestic network.

detonated the whole public opinion.

At the same time, countless people called Wang Huan at the same time.

At this time, his phone was no longer available, because he couldn't get through on the plane.

..................

Wang Huan, who was sitting on the plane, looked a little indifferent.

Actually, when people at Sony Pictures said that someone was going to blow up his scandal.

He had probably guessed what it was, and so far there was almost no problem with his personal morality.

Only on women.

Of course, in this matter, it is true that he can't explain to Zuo Ling, and he can't explain to Bai Xue.

As for the people, how to explain it?

Wang Huan thought about it for a long, long time.

And yet at this very moment!

"Bang!" Suddenly, there was a loud noise in front of me.

Then there was a terrible scream and exclamation.

Immediately afterward, the lights of the entire plane dimmed suddenly.

The front is a complete mess.

"Bang, bang......" There were two gunshots.

Damn,,.

What's going on?

This...... It's not reasonable, and it's not normal.

In another history, there have been few terrible hijackings since the Shimao Tower accident.

Of course, something even more terrifying happened after 2014, when the entire flight disappeared inexplicably, and more than one.

There are even civil airliners, which are directly guided ...... Play...... Hit the fall.

In short, the world line is becoming more and more magical.

But now this scene in front of Wang Huan's eyes is extremely magical.

Terrible people, they can still bring guns to planes? This is impossible, after the 11 incident, it is impossible.

However, Wang Huan quickly understood that it was impossible for the terrible elements to bring a gun, but every flight had a secret police officer pretending to be a passenger, and this person had a gun on him, and his gun was likely to be snatched away.

A moment later.

The plane's lights came on again.

Three people appeared in front of Wang Huan, all wearing masks, and one of them had a gun in his hand.

The man with the gun gave a cruel sneer and said something.

Not English, but the language of a country in the Middle East.

It's really a horrible hijacking.

After the man with the gun finished speaking, he raised the gun, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at Wang Huan.

..................

Note: I had meetings all day and had activities in the evening, but I was cheeky enough to take a leave of absence to come back to code. That's the only one for today, sorry sorry.

I really seized the opportunity to code words, can you still give it to me if you have a monthly pass?
