Chapter Forty-Eight: Two Billion in 11 Days

In fact, the most unhappy Tianmei company should be Huayi!

As the saying goes, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers.

As the bridgehead of the Beijing circle, the development momentum of Tianmei Company is too strong...

In three years, Huayi was directly overtaken, except for the background, all other aspects were beaten...

But in the entertainment industry, the most useless thing is actually the so-called heritage...

Especially overseas, after TiMi acquired Golden Harvest, it directly had distribution channels in Southeast Asia, and in the United States, Shen Xudong also had a wonderful studio, and had cooperative relations with Lionsgate and Warner.

Now it has reached a cooperation with South Korea's CJ Group...

There's no way to copy the route if you want to!

Of course, at this stage, Huayi has not been left behind, at least in China...

Last year's annual box office champion movie "Mobile Phone 2" was produced by Huayi and was responsible for publicity; This year there is "The King of Kung Fu"...

"The King of Kung Fu" has a good reputation, but the market performance is okay, with a box office of 182 million in the mainland and $126 million in the world.

As for the total investment... Anyway, according to Lee's words, 'the global box office has exceeded 50 million US dollars, and the sequel will be filmed'

In other words, as long as the box office is 50 million, the project can be guaranteed to be profitable.

Oh, "Yangtze River No. 7" is co-produced by PropNex, which is mainly distributed in the mainland...

originally thought that relying on "The King of Kung Fu" would be able to suppress Tianmei, but it did - the mainland box office of "The King of Kung Fu" just surpassed "People in Embarrassment" and "Zhao Zilong 2"...

plus "Love Has an Afterlife" and "Southern Star" missed at the box office...

Especially "Southern Star", which is in the same schedule as "The King of Kung Fu", was suppressed by the latter!

Yes, the two sides are not the same type at all, and the star lineup and investment scale are not of the same magnitude at all...

But who cares about that?

I only know that it has been suppressed at the box office!

Then, "20 Years Old Again" was released, with 82 million in the first weekend, which surpassed "The King of Kung Fu", and even higher than the box office of many high-profile blockbusters in the Chinese New Year file in the first week.

Hua Yi is embarrassed...

Now is the critical moment for Huayi to seek listing, and it is very important to become a leader in the mainland!

The so-called faucet is not something that can be achieved by blowing, you have to have real materials.

When doing statistics, I deliberately avoided "Cao Cao" and didn't talk about it...

What to do?

What can I do, congratulations first!

And then...

Since Shen Xudong can cooperate with Xijie Media, Huayi can of course also do it, Huang Zhonglei proposed to introduce the works of Xijie Media and bought the mainland distribution rights of "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys"...

Jointly invested in the creation of "Huangsha Warrior" and "The Day of Landing", two movies starring Zhang Dongjian...

Real money investment.

In just one week, a lot of things were made, and even a press conference was held...

Thinking about the beauty of the sky.

It's a pity that no one cares - the Olympics are only two months away, and who cares what entertainment companies do?

Besides, "20 Years Old Again" was released for 4 days and the box office exceeded 100 million, and after 11 days of release, the box office exceeded 200 million...

At present, the single-day daily revenue is still above 10 million.

The theater even raised the box office forecast of "20 Years Old Again", giving a final box office forecast of 320 million...

Also, the $42 million box office of the opening weekend of "The Clover Files" continues to write about the strong originality of Marvelous Studios...

Both news, which one is more worthy of reporting than the cooperation between Huayi and Xijie!

Oh, "The Clover Files" is a $25 million pseudo-documentary film about monsters attacking the earth, the end of mankind...

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

"This is the script we received, and I think it's quite interesting, in pseudo-documentary form, showing the disaster through DV, which makes people immersive..."

"Screenwriter Drew Gouda was very capable, so we bought the script and asked him to direct another film, Seeing the Devil..."

"Drew Gouda is one of the writers of the American drama "Lost". J. Abrams has a good relationship..."The Clover Files" is also a joint production of us with bad robots..."

"Oh, the bad bot is Jยท J. Abrams' production company, we each paid half of the money, and Paramount was responsible for the distribution..."

Hotel, box, Shen Xudong is telling Zhong Lifang about the situation of "Clover's Files"...

Zhong Lifang is quite aggrieved - Golden Harvest is not in the production company of "Clover Files"!

"You should also take into account Golden Harvest... You want to direct "Iron Man" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" to dominate the Hong Kong market one after another..."

"Wait a minute? Iron Man? That's..."

"Iron Man, translated as "Iron Man" in mainland China"

Shen Xudong couldn't hold back and laughed...

Iron Armor... This translator was so stupid that he laughed and asked, "What about the translation of The Incredible Hurk Hong Kong?" โ€

"The Shapeshifter Doctor..."

โ€œโ€ฆ Poof..."

"What happened to 'Shapeshifter'? Is Hulk a doctor? Is it not dead and can be transformed? โ€

"Hulk is a doctor, although they are both doctors, but they are different..."

Zhong Lifang was speechless: "I'll tell you seriously!" โ€

"I'll tell you the truth, investing in The Clover Archives is not the purpose at all, our purpose is to cooperate with Jยท J. Abrams hitched a ride on... He is a mainstream Hollywood filmmaker, and he has a good relationship with Spielberg and George Lucas... We don't want to be on the fringes all the time, and we want to be mainstream! โ€

โ€œโ€ฆ You're going to work with Spielberg? Spielberg's own dream factory can't be run anymore..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "It's okay, I can't continue to operate, many local tyrants in the mainland want to take over!" โ€

As he was talking, the box door was pushed open, and Chen Xi, Yu Feihong, and Tang Yan walked in.

Today is a small celebration, "Back to 20 Years Old" broke 200 million...

Shen Xudong is going to the United States the day after tomorrow to help celebrate in advance.

"Twilight" is about to be released!

โ€œโ€ฆ The box office performance of "20 Years Old Again" in Hong Kong was decent, and it was the runner-up at the box office for two consecutive weeks, second to "Magic Kingdom", with a cumulative box office of 6.98 million Hong Kong dollars..."

"Magic Kingdom?"

Chen Xi explained: "The Chronicles of Narnia 2..."

"It's not bad, it shows that Hong Kong audiences are still willing to watch Chinese films..."

"The quality is passing, and I am definitely willing to see it."

"There is still a difference, the mainland box office of "20 Years Old Again" has exceeded 200 million!"

"I heard that the Korean version of "20 Years Old Again" has exceeded 6 million viewers?"

Zhong Lifang was curious: "How much is that box office?" โ€

"It's very simple, multiply the ticket price, the ticket price of Korean movies is fixed, it is 8,000 won (about 40 yuan)... About $5..."

"Then why do you need to count the number of moviegoers, can't you just use the box office to count?"

Chen Xi explained: "It seems that in order to compare with the past, there is no need to count the number of moviegoers to be inflationary." โ€

"Take off your pants and fart, it's too much!"

"People are used to doing this!"

Zhong Lifang didn't know what she remembered, and lowered her voice: "... I've heard that there is a habit of using female celebrities to entertain guests in Korea..."

"You ask Shen Xudong about this, he ran to Seoul last year when he had something to do!"

Shen Xudong corrected: "That's Seoul!" โ€

โ€œโ€ฆ Is there such a thing? โ€

"You know about rumors about me all day long, I only went to South Korea twice last year, and both of them were to talk about business."

"Who spread rumors about you? I'm not answering Sister Zhong's questions, we are familiar with South Korea... Don't ask, who do you ask? โ€
