Chapter 147: After the Inception, the stamina exploded

The global box office for "Inception" ended up at around $956 million, but that's still not the final number.

A movie that claims to be released globally will not actually be released on the same day in all countries, and the release date in some countries will even be about half a year or even a year later than the global release date, so the final box office of a movie is actually a fairly dynamic number.

And some of the more influential films will be scheduled to be re-released, so maybe in a few years, the box office of "Inception" will break $1 billion.

But at least for now, the global box office of "Inception" has been tentatively set at $956 million.

For this reason, a college student who lives in Goose City and studies in the magic capital even slapped the table fiercely, this college student named Wang Zishan is a loyal fan of director Li Mu.

"$956 million, just a little bit close, just $5 million to surpass the sixth place "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", it's a pity, it's a pity!"

Wang Zishan has never paid attention to such a thing as the global box office rankings before, because this list was too far away from him and too far away from China in the past, but it will be different from now on, and from now on this list will also have a place for our Chinese people!

Anyway, when he has nothing to do, Wang Zishan simply looks at this latest "Top 100 List of Global Film History" from beginning to end.

[No. 99, "Eavesdropping on a Woman's Heart," 2000, $374 million.] 】

[No. 100, "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows", 2005, $373 million.] 】

"$373 million? Director Li Mu's "Super Body" seems to be 360 million US dollars, right? What about Assassin? Is it $355 million? It doesn't seem like a big gap! ”

Wang Zishan immediately searched the Internet for relevant data, and found that the latest box office figure of "Super Body" was already $368 million, while the global box office of "Assassin" was $362 million.

"It's just a few million or ten million dollars away from not being able to enter the top 100 in global film history, it's a pity, it's a pity, it seems that the top 100 in global film history is very awesome."

As reported in the news some time ago, "Inception" is actually the first Asian film in the top 100 in global film history, and "Inception" has never entered the top 100 before it.

Well, it looks like the gold content of this top 100 is quite high.

So if the box office of "Super Body" and "Assassin" can be as high as 10 million, wouldn't there be three 'Li Mu movies' in the top 100 film history in the world?

"Hurricane Rescue" is only $290 million, which is not a pity, but it is a pity that "Super Body" and "Assassin" are only $10 million short of the box office.

And......

Wang Zishan suddenly thought that there are three more Li Mu movies to be released this year, namely:

"Doomsday Collapse", starring Cheng Long, Yang Ziqiong, and Liu Yifei.

"Hurricane Rescue 2", starring Cheng Long, Liu Xiaoli, and Liu Yifei.

"Gravity", starring Gong Li and Zhang Yimou.

With the strength of director Li Mu, and the box office appeal of Cheng Long, Liu Yifei, Gong Li, and Zhang Yimou, these three movies are at least the top 100 in global film history, right?

Wang Zishan suddenly felt a shock in his heart!

"Good guy, Huaxia movies either can't touch the edge of the world's top 100 at all, or they will directly go to three or four three or four as soon as they come!"

But after the excitement, Wang Zishan immediately thought: If "Assassin" and "Super Body" also enter the top 100 list, then there will be six Chinese movies on the latest global box office top 100 list in film history in 2009? And these six Chinese movies are all films directed by Li Mu alone!

On the top 100 list, Li Mu alone occupies six, how awesome and explosive this should be!

"It's a pity, those two movies are so few hundred or ten million box office shorts!"

After sighing again, Wang Zishan suddenly thought that there seem to be many movies in the current global film history top 100 list that actually include re-screenings at the box office, so ......

"Why can't director Li Mu's early films be re-screened?"

"That's right, it's a re-release!"

This idea made Wang Zishan very excited, so he immediately went to the Internet and posted a post in which he strongly called for the immediate arrangement of the re-screening of "Assassin" and "Super Body".

"As long as "Super Body" and "Assassin" can win 35 million and 75 million yuan at the box office respectively in the re-release, then there will be three Chinese movies directly in the latest global film history box office top 100, and all three are the works of director Li Mu! plus "Hurricane Rescue 2", "Doomsday Collapse" and "Gravity" to be released this year, that is six - maybe there will be six Chinese movies directly in the top 100 list of global film history this year! Awesome, no? All it takes is giving these two films a chance to be re-screened, and it's entirely possible that these will become reality! ”

"And I have already analyzed, our Huaxia film market is not like the European and American markets, the European and American film markets are mature markets, a movie is released, and everything that should be watched has been watched, but our Huaxia is just an incremental market, the box office champion in 01 was only 43 million box office, but in 08 this number became 890 million!"

"A lot of people have only walked into the theater for the first time in recent years, and this part of the group is very large, and this part of the group has missed a lot of classic movies that have been released before, I think if there is a chance, a considerable number of these people will be willing to go into the theater to watch these classic movies that have been missed."

"So I think whether it's "Super Body" or "Assassin", there will definitely be a market for it if it is re-released......"

This post was first published on the Tianya forum, and then quickly spread from Tianya to the whole network, the key is that there was not even a single Asian movie on the global film history box office list before, good guys, according to Wang Zishan, in 2009, 6 Chinese movies could emerge at once on the list, and all of them were Li Mu's movies alone.

Although the director of "Hurricane Rescue 2" is Chen Musheng, whoever says that this is also a Li Mu movie, and when promoting, it is also a Li Mu movie, because the four words "Li Mu movie" itself represent the box office potential!

For a while, the whole network was hotly discussed:

"Holy, awe! Li Mu alone occupies six of the top 100 box office lists in global film history, if this thing really happens, 2009 will be 'Li Mu Year of Film History'"

"'Li Munian'? I think it's okay, 1992 is 'Zhou Xingzhi Year', 2009 is 'Li Mu Year', yes! ”

"'Zhou Xing Holding the Year' is limited to Xiangjiang movies, and 'Li Munian' is a global film history, if you want to talk about it, it has to be not a man!"

"Where to petition? To be honest, I've seen both movies, but I don't mind watching them again, and now many people have even begun to blow Korean movies, I can't get used to it for a long time, and this year I have to let those sticks see what is the strength of Chinese directors! ”

"Support support, re-screening must see!"

"Pour cold water, these two movies are too close to the next release, only two years, and re-screenings are generally re-screens of films from years ago or even more than ten years ago, how can there be a re-release of such a close movie?"

"Not to mention, the only movie suitable for re-screening in the country is Li Mu's movie. To be honest, why do people go to the theater to watch a movie? Isn't it fragrant to download it to the computer and watch him at any time? It may be okay to download it to the computer to watch a feature film, but a special effects blockbuster - a special effects blockbuster is completely two movies when you watch it on the computer and watch it in the theater, and Li Mu's movie special effects blockbusters are mostly in line with the logic of re-screening. ”

"That's right, if you miss a small-budget movie, you can watch it on your computer, let alone a theater for a special effects blockbuster, I will feel sorry for myself if I don't watch IMAX!"

……

Li Mu has been very busy recently, mainly writing in - "Mechanical Ji", "Source Code", "Ring Messenger", and "Shocking Demon Thief Group".

It is still handed over to the "Science Fiction World" magazine to be responsible for Chinese and foreign publishing matters, the magazine has its own publishing business in China, and often cooperates with foreign publishing houses to publish science fiction, fantasy and other genres abroad.

To put it simply, Li Mu's books are handed over to them, and they are responsible for the operation, and the magazine is also profitable, otherwise Li Mu would not trouble people again and again.

Speaking of which, something happened to the "Science Fiction World" magazine recently, and President Qin Li, who helped Li Mu a lot, was suddenly transferred, and then an unpopular president was parachuted over.

It is said that it was this person who launched a relationship to squeeze out President Qin Li, but he didn't end well in the end, Yuan Time and Space was rebelled by the editors of the magazine when he went out to visit after being the president for more than a year.

In March 2010, some editors of "Science Fiction World" magazine jointly released "Science Fiction World Open Letter to National Fantasy Fans" on Douban when the president was out on visit, let the storm come more violently! After the incident was reported by the media, it caused a huge repercussion among science fiction fans, and as a result, the president was successfully dismissed.

At this time and space, Li Mu first invited Qin Li to have a meal after learning the news, and then vaguely asked her if she still wanted to work in the magazine, and after receiving a positive reply, Li Mu launched some of his own contacts, and two days later, the new president suddenly couldn't perform his duties due to his own physical reasons and Qin Li continued to serve as the president.

In fact, Li Mu was also a little surprised, I thought it might be a little troublesome, but it didn't necessarily work out, but I didn't expect that in the end, it would not only be done, but also so quickly and thoroughly.

He had already thought that if things didn't work out, he would simply recruit Qin Li to his own company, and then all his published works would not be published by "Science Fiction World" magazine for the time being, but now that the matter has been resolved, there is no need for this.

A few days later, Li Mu suddenly received a call from the chairman of China Film Han Sanping, and he thought it was about the preparation of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", but he didn't expect Han Sanping to talk about it directly after the meeting.

"These two movies have only been released for two years." Li Mu said.

Han Sanping said in a deep voice: "In the past few days, the superior leader in charge has specifically discussed this matter with me, and asked me if the re-release really hopes to send the two films to the top 100 box office list in global film history, I said yes, but there is a high probability that the tail light will be dropped, and it may not last for a year or two. ”

"Li Mu, you may not have realized the huge significance of the list of 'Top 100 Box Office in Global Film History', and you have not realized the significance of suddenly having six Chinese films parachuted into the 'Top 100 Box Office in Global Film History' in one year. This is a great achievement in the construction of China's literary and artistic undertakings, and the meaning of the leaders in charge is not only to re-screen, but also to find ways to ensure the completion of the task of entering the top 100! ”

Who doesn't want achievement?

Of course, Li Mu also wants it, if he can really reach 6 movies in 2009 and enter the top 100 list of global film history at the same time, how can Li Mu refuse?

However, when I heard Han Dong say that the leader asked to ensure the completion of the task, Li Mu was a little stunned, how can the box office ensure the completion of the task? The audience doesn't like to watch it, can you still force people in?

Or is it - a unit charter?

It seems that the re-release of the two movies is already a certainty, so Li Mu simply thought about the specific operation.

"Han Dong, I want to announce at the same time that I will donate all the proceeds from the re-screening of the film that belong to Huashang and myself."

Han Sanping said: "That's right, so that the publicity work will be better, but since you want to donate, all the producers of the movie will donate together." ”

Li Mu said: "After all, the matter of giving money is still voluntary, and I can't do charity for them without consulting with other companies." ”

Han Sanping said: "This is easy to do, let's just call all the producers over to discuss it together." ”

The next day.

All the producers of "Superbody" and "Assassin" gathered together, and after a brief communication, everyone agreed to donate all the box office proceeds from this re-screening.

How much box office can a re-release get? You can't afford to get tens of millions, and the proportion of the filmmaker's account sharing is about 42%, that is, about 20 or 30 million, and the income of 20 or 30 million yuan will be shared by so many producers, and a single family actually didn't donate much.

As a result, all the producers of the two films quickly reached an agreement.

Wang Changtian, chairman of Light Limit Media, even said with a smile:

"At this time, the re-screening is very good, why did netizens propose a re-screening? In order to make "Super Body" and "Assassin" enter the top 100 list of global film history! If the goal is really achieved this time, what about when "Doomsday Collapse" and "Hurricane Rescue 2" are released? Are the viewers who support this matter going to desperately help promote the movie? ”

"If "Doomsday Collapse" and "Hurricane Rescue 2" are also among the top 100 box office in global film history, what about "Gravity"? Isn't it possible to lose all the work you have done? In this way, the publicity of several Li Mu movies has become a whole, and the publicity funds smashed on one movie are promoting several movies at the same time! ”

After reaching a consensus, the filmmakers of "Super Body" and "Assassin" held a press conference a few days later, at which Li Mu officially announced:

"'Superbody' and 'Assassin' will be re-released in the next period!"

And then there's:

"All of our producers have unanimously decided to donate all the box office proceeds from the re-releases of the two re-released films to Project Hope."

Then the Huaxia Internet was lively.

"What's going on? "Super Body" and "Assassin" are really going to be re-screened? Didn't Li Mu really start to be one of the top 100 box office in global film history, and his dream of Li Mu dominating the top 6 was right? ”

"Why not?"

"The four new films released within a year all entered the top 100 box office in global film history? If this is really successful by Li Mu, then will it be repaid? ”

"Misty grass misty grass misty grass! Don't say anything, can I kneel down for Li Mu? If you don't play like this, it's too ruthless! ”

"The point is, what if I think it's 100 percent possible?"

"Anyway, it is very awesome to be able to appear on the top 100 box office list in global film history at the same time!"

"I have to go to the theater to support it, Huaxia Movies are rising, and Director Li Mu is rising!"

……

Wang Zishan returned to the dormitory to surf the Internet after two classes, but a piece of news suddenly came into view, and after reading the relevant news, Wang Zishan was so excited that he shouted:

"Is it really going to be re-screened? Awesome! ”

"In the past, there was no Asian movie at the box office in global film history, but Li Mu made a "Inception", and people not only successfully entered the top 100, but also made it all the way to the top 50, 20, and 10, and finally came to the seventh box office in global film history!"

"Forget about the seventh, people still have to be on the list of six movies directly!"

"What else can I say? Awesome! ”

"Suddenly I'm super looking forward to the re-release of "Super Body" and "Assassin", and looking forward to "Doomsday Collapse" and "Hurricane Rescue 2"!"
