Li Mu's office.

"In the past two days, the single-day box office performance of "Gravity" in the domestic market has rebounded greatly, and according to the current development trend, the domestic box office of the film is likely to exceed 1.4 billion yuan." Assistant Chen Zhixi couldn't hide his excitement on his face.

Li Mu nodded when he heard this: "The global release of "Avatar" is a big impact on the performance of "Gravity" in the global market, but it is a big boost to the domestic market."

"Avatar has caused a sensation in the world, and the concept of 3 movies has become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, the domestic release date of "Avatar" is more than half a month later than the global date, so all the audiences who are interested in the 3 movies because of "Avatar" in the past half a month, if they want to have a sneak peek of the 3 movies, they can only choose to watch "Gravity" first."

Li Mu smiled: "I didn't expect this schedule to have such an unexpected effect."

On December 18, 2009, the movie "Avatar" was officially released worldwide.

The stunning planet Pandora, the unbeatable 3 effects, the amazing levitating mountain, and the immersive shock of the protagonist riding Ilanca, and the magical application of facial capture technology in the movie.

Even includes the audience base laid in advance by "Gravity" - all these factors add up to make "Avatar" inevitably come out in a posture that shocks the world.

"The Sky People have sent a message that they can do whatever they want, and no one can stop them, and we have news for them. You are going to set out like a gale, to gather the other tribes, and say that Turukmakdo is calling them, come with me, and fly! My brothers and sisters, we have to prove to the people of the sky that they are not allowed to do whatever they want, and that this is our land!"

This line in "Avatar" can be called one of the most classic speech scenes in film history, and it has made countless people's blood boil.

In just one month, two 3-visual blockbusters that shocked the world were released successively - "Gravity" and "Avatar" naturally became the object of comparison among fans around the world.

"Avatar" is the work of director James Cameron for 14 years, which can be called the pinnacle of technology, and what is even more rare is that Ka Dao actually created a real and credible Pandora planet out of thin air this time, and Ka Dao even created a Na'vi language specifically for this fictional planet.

And what about Gravity?

Although "Avatar" was released more than a month earlier, in the original world, this movie was not really released until three years after the release of "Avatar".

As a latecomer work, "Gravity" can be said to stand on the shoulders of "Avatar". Many of its filming techniques and techniques are actually ahead of "Avatar".

As a time-traveler from 2025 and a director with more than ten years of cinematographic experience, Li Mu is naturally familiar with the development of shooting techniques in later generations.

Although many later generations of shooting techniques cannot be applied due to the limitations of realistic conditions, a considerable number of innovative techniques based on existing conditions have been applied by Li Mu to shooting, and the effect can be called a stroke of genius.

Therefore, when the global audience compares the two films, they can't form a one-sided situation in any way.

Soon, the box office details of the sixth week of "Gravity" in North America and the first week of "Avatar" in North America were released.

On the first weekend of its global release, "Avatar" officially ended "Gravity's five-day winning streak" at the North American box office with a first-weekend box office score of $86 million.

"Gravity" came in second with $38 million.

So far, the North American box office of "Gravity" has officially exceeded the $500 million mark, reaching $532.8 million, and its global box office has reached $1.43 billion.

Immediately afterwards, December 25-27, 2009.

The second week of the release of "Avatar" and the seventh week of the release of "Gravity".

"Avatar" achieved its North American ticket with a weekend box office of $84 million

The housing list dominated the list for two consecutive years, and the two-week decline of only 2.4% shocked the world film industry.

At the same time, in the seventh week of its release, "Gravity" grossed a total of $31 million in the North American market, ranking third in the North American box office list that week.

So far, the total box office of "Gravity" in North America has officially exceeded the $600 million mark, reaching $602 million, the global box office has officially exceeded the $1.5 billion mark, reaching $1.56 billion, and the domestic box office has officially exceeded 1.4 billion yuan, reaching 1.47 billion.

……

Sina Entertainment.

Xiao Zhang and his colleagues now check the latest box office data of "Gravity" at least three times a day, and everyone also starts with "What's the situation?" to the later "Holy!" , and then to the back of "Damn, can you be more awesome?" , and finally developed into "Isn't it okay for me to check the data on my knees?"

But no matter how awesome the legend is, there will be an end one day.

Now that the box office trend of "Gravity" has been fully revealed, Xiao Zhang and his colleagues can't help but be both excited and regretful.

Excited that everyone witnessed the birth of a miracle, but unfortunately "Gravity" still could not surpass the box office of "Titanic" after all, and could not officially take over the title of "King of the World" from James Cameron.

At present, it seems that the most likely to break the global box office record of "Titanic" is James Cameron!

The box office trend of "Avatar" is really good, even better than "Gravity", which created a miracle!

"It's a pity, how good it would be if it could surpass "Titanic", then the first in global film history would be a Chinese movie! It's a pity."

"Be content! Before director Li Mu, who in the whole of Asia knew what it was like to be in the top 100 box office in global film history? There is not a single movie on the list in the whole of Asia! But what about this year? Although some of the box office re-releases are included, there are six films on the list in Asia in just one year! Well, all six of them are directed by Li Mu, of which there are two works by Li Mu in the top ten, and "Gravity" directly entered the second place in the world - so, what do we have to regret about such a rebellious achievement?"

"Awesome is really awesome, but it can't be the first, I still feel a little sorry in my heart."

"There's no need, Li Mu is still young, there will always be the first."

After discussing with his colleagues for a while, Xiao Zhang turned around and returned to his workstation, and as usual, he casually searched the Internet for the latest North American box office data.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, then he turned to his colleague and said, "Last weekend, the North American box office charts came out, and Gravity slipped to number three — wait, what's going on?"

"What's wrong?"

Colleagues came over when they heard this.

Xiao Zhang's hand pointing to the computer screen began to tremble slightly: "Look carefully!"

When colleagues saw that Xiao Zhang was so excited, they were all a little confused.

"Gravity" has a global box office of $1.47 billion, which is very impressive, but the gap from "Titanic" is still very big - what is there to be excited about?

Xiao Zhang began to stammer a little when he spoke at this time:

"Look, North America...... North American Box Office...... $620 million!"

"See, North American box office, what's wrong?" Colleagues still can't understand why Xiao Zhang is so excited.

Xiao Zhang's face was red:

"If I ...... If I'm not mistaken, the current North American film history is ...... The overall box office is $600 million!"

"Buzz".

Colleagues suddenly felt their scalps tingle!

In other words, although "Gravity" failed to be the No. 1 box office in global film history, it magically achieved the No. 1 achievement in North American film history?!

In the Yankee market, a Chinese movie has become the first in film history?

It's not even the champion of the year, but the champion of film history!

"!"

"Steady, don't get excited, check right away, whether the number one in North American film history is $600 million!"

"You don't have to look it up, you see, the news in North America

has been reported, the previous North American film history champion is "Titanic", with a North American box office of $601 million, and "Gravity" $602 million, which is indeed the first!"

"Hurry up, breaking news!"

"Don't get excited, this is just a preliminary statistic, usually the box office figures will be revised in a few days, in the past, the champion became the runner-up after the correction, and the runner-up became the champion after the correction."

"It's okay, it's okay, "Gravity" hasn't been released yet, even if it is corrected in a few days and the box office is missing, the subsequent box office revenue can be made up!"

"Avatar is so strong at the box office that I estimate that the record of "Gravity" will hold for a maximum of 6 weeks."

"Even if it only lasts for one day, it is the box office champion in North American film history that has appeared in our Chinese movie!"

"Makes sense!"

……

The set of the TV series "Mythology".

Brother Hu sat on the pony and said, "I never cared about the North American box office list or the global box office list before, but now I have to watch it every day."

Ren Quan also found a small Mazha from the side and sat down, and said, "Who's to say it's not? Director Li Mu is really fierce this time, and he directly went to the second place in the total box office list of global film history, which is too scary."

Zhang Shi, who played Zhao Gao, also came over at this time and said, "It's a pity that I didn't get to the first, otherwise it would have been so beautiful."

"It's a pity!" Brother Hu shook his head.

"It's a pity!" Ren Quan nodded.

"It's a pity!" Zhang Shi sighed.

At this time, a white soldier in a white costume came over with a few bottles of energy drinks:

"Brother Zhang, Brother Quan, Brother Hu, come to drink water."

The three of them took the drinks separately, and Brother Hu asked with a smile, "Oh no, Bai Bing, you call both of them brothers, just call me by my name, we can't be so favoritistic."

Bai Bing rolled his eyes and said, "Who made you give such a name that specializes in taking advantage of people, it's normal to call someone else's surname + brother, to call you is to call your real name, and it's normal to call someone else's name + brother, just call you to become brother."

The four of them were all amused by Bai Bing.

In the end, Ren Quan asked:

"By the way, Bai Bing, why did you think of buying drinks and snacks for the crew again?"

Bai Bing smiled and said, "Because I'm happy, the news I just saw, my senior brother and boss is the first in film history."

Ren Quan asked in surprise, "Director Li Mu? He has long been the first in China, and there should be a long way to go abroad, right?"

Bai Bing smiled: "It's not far, it's already over, the news I just saw, senior brother is the first in North American film history."

Ren Quan, Brother Hu, and Zhang Shi glanced at each other a few times, and then Brother Hu took out his mobile phone to enter relevant keywords and click search.

"I saw the news, director Li Mu's "Gravity" has a global box office of $1.47 billion, and a North American box office of $602 million, surpassing the North American box office record of $601 million for "Titanic" released in 1997, and officially topped the list——"

Brother Hu looked up at a few people, and only after a moment did he continue: "Topped the North American box office list and ranked first in film history!"

The three of them felt a stream of heat flowing in their chests, as if they suddenly had the legendary internal force.

This is the first in North American film history?

Awesome!

"No. 2 in the world, No. 1 in North America!" Ren Quan muttered.

Obviously, this news shocked him enough.

Tong Liya, who was not far away, unscrewed the functional drink in her hand and took a small sip, her eyes fell on Bai Bing, who was busy distributing drinks and snacks to everyone, and a trace of envy flashed in her eyes.

Bai Bing is not an acting professional, but she is the heroine.

How many serious actors have no scenes to film.

Being an actor is a very cruel profession, and 99% of the people in the circle are barely making ends meet with a very meager income, Tong Liya is not too miserable, but she can't say how good it is.

Why do the white soldiers have such good resources?

？

I heard that it was because she was the younger sister of director Li Mu, but this junior sister was somewhat unworthy of the name.

I heard that Bai Bing was a freshman after Director Li Mu graduated from West France University, and the two didn't even meet at all when they were in college, but there is such a relationship, Bai Bing can occasionally blurt out a senior brother, that is, this senior brother, so that no one in the entire crew dares to despise her.

"The role of Yu Ji was hand-picked by Director Li, so he should have a good impression of me, and when "Myth" is finished, should I also take the initiative to find him? If you can sign in to Director Lee's company......

……

["Gravity" won the first !! in North American film history] 】

[No. 2 in the global box office and No. 1 in North America, is "Gravity" seriously overrated? 】

[Director Li Mu's die-hard fans bluntly said: "Gravity", which is the first in North American film history, is actually far inferior to Director Li's other movie - that is, "Inception"! ] 】

["Titanic" abdicated and made way for Xian, and the Chinese movie "Gravity" became the top box office in North American film history! ] 】

["Gravity" broke the North American film history record of "Titanic" and successfully topped the North American film history championship! ] 】

[The pioneer of the global 3 movie storm - director Li Mu and his "Gravity"! ] 】

[Director Li Mu bluntly said in an interview: ""Gravity" is probably the peak of my directorial career in my life.] 】

The fact that it is the first in North American film history is simply nuclear bomb-level entertainment news, especially for Chinese netizens.

Almost overnight:

Online, the whole people are boiling.

In the circle, dumbfounded.

Especially the domestic directors and actors, they can't believe their eyes.

The god-like "Titanic" was won by director Li Mu like this?

Especially those actresses who are interested in developing internationally, they have made up a few G's to impress Li Mu.

……

Li Mu's office.

In the afternoon, Li Mu returned here after being interviewed by a blockbuster program on CCTV, and Shen Li, the person in charge of Maoyan Film, came over to report to Li Mu on the company's development.

"Mr. Li, before the release of "Gravity", the proportion of online ticket purchases in the country was 2.3%, and after some time ago, it was difficult to find a ticket and scalpers increased the price, and now more and more people have realized the superiority of online ticket purchase. As of the end of last week, the proportion of domestic online ticket purchases has increased to 6.4%, and of this 6.4%, our Maoyan movies account for more than 60% of the share."

Li Mu nodded: "The development is good, continue to maintain, and the development of mobile Internet products should be paid special attention."

"Okay."

After Shen Li left, Li Mu thought about the development trajectory of Maoyan movies in his previous life.

Before 2014, although there was a strong stimulus of "Avatar", in fact, online ticket purchase did not really enter the field of vision of most ordinary audiences.

And it was in 2014 that after Maoyan Film got the co-distribution rights of "Heart Flower Road", it monopolized the source of the film through tens of millions of subsidies, and a boom of "9.9 ticket purchase" began to appear in the market, and the proportion of online ticket purchases began to expand rapidly.

Ticket compensation is a big killer, but for the time being, Li Mu doesn't really want to use this trick, but if any competitor doesn't open his eyes and uses this trick to deal with Maoyan, then Li Mu, who has a lot of cash in his right hand and a hit movie on his left hand, will naturally not be polite to the other party.
