The box office has exceeded 100 million, and this achievement has been ranked among the top five in domestic film history.

The point is that such a result took only 12 days!

"Source Code" will be released for at least 18 days in the future, and if the status quo can be maintained for film scheduling and piracy, a box office of 200 million is not a dream!

That's 200 million!

It is definitely the existence of no one before or since!

Guorong opened the champagne on the spot, and then poured it directly on Lu Ping'an's head.

Then he shouted, "Peace, happy birthday!" ”

At this time, the rest of the main creators knew that today was Lu Ping'an's birthday!

So in the middle of the night, a group of people didn't have to sleep, and poured champagne! Give Lu Ping'an a bath!

That evening, the accompanying reporter Font Co posted the celebration photo online.

Then it attracted the blessings of many netizens.

"Source Code looks good!"

"Director Ping An turned out to be only 20 years old?!"

"My brother is so gentle, he actually remembers someone else's birthday."

"Director Ping An is actually super handsome!"

"Happy birthday Director Ping'an, I wish you a safe year!"

"They have a good relationship, I really want to join them."

“。。。”

"Source Code" set a record, and the crew had a warm and harmonious relationship.

This is all good feeling and increase the heat.

For a time, the envy of the industry was envious, and the envy of envy.

And as the news spread, more people knew about the report card of "Source Code".

What? Break 100 million in 12 days!

What? A 20-year-old director?!

What movie is so awesome?!

At this time, the audience has never seen this posture.

Break 100 million in 12 days, good guys.

This movie must be good!

So more people went to the cinema.

Then, everyone went through the same movie-watching journey.

Good guys, this is going to blow up?!

Well, come back to life!

Guorong is so handsome!

This movie cow pen!

Pretty!

Word of mouth, fermented again!

The box office, also in the off-season after the Golden Week, remained strong.

By October 20, the mainland box office of "Source Code" exceeded 160 million.

At the same time, after three weeks of release in Xiangjiang, "Source Code" has officially exceeded 35 million, and it is basically no problem to exceed 45 million in the future.

Public opinion unanimously believes that it is no problem for "Source Code" to exceed 200 million in the future, and the suspense is whether it will exceed 250 million.

And it depends on piracy control, and whether there is an extension key.

For the latter, it's not a problem at all, it's the former.

Fortunately, at present, it seems that piracy is not badly controlled, and after 20 days of release, although there are also pirated versions on the market, the disc manufacturers have gone crazy, staring at them tightly, suing one by one, not only suing, but also arresting.

You know, this is the era of blockbusters.

It is an important moment for domestic movies that are staring at the top.

To borrow the lines from "Born Out of the Sky": The history of Chinese films, in the second half of this year, will be divided into two parts!

At such an important time, the movie is still in the release period, and the one who dares to make it is an ending!

And many pirates can't think of it.

Didn't they all turn a blind eye before?

Why did you catch it?

"Brother Wang, it's good, I'm also a first-time offender."

"you, how many times? If you really want to do it, you don't choose a good time, you're blind! ”

The police car honked its horn, and a song of tears was sung behind the bars

。。。。。。。

At this time, at the Beijing New Picture Company, Zhang Weiping looked at the reports on the Internet and frowned.

I just went out not long ago.

As soon as you come back, why did it change?

Good guys, 160 million!

This has exceeded the expected goal of the third gear he set for "Heroes".

The media are boasting that the quality of "Source Code" is indeed very good, which makes him a little confused.

How good does this have to be to blow like this?

Spent a lot of money?

It doesn't feel likely.

He felt like he was going to see it for himself.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Weiping brought a cap and entered the theater.

I spent 50 yuan to buy a ticket and sat in the last row of the theater.

He felt that the money was unjustly spent, and there were many people in the theater who thought so about him.

However, after the movie opened, everyone didn't think so.

Dead and alive, 8-minute loops, explosions, and ultra-classic freeze-frames.

9 crossings, each time it can hook the heartstrings of the audience.

Until the happy ending of the movie, everyone was like drinking sweet rain in summer, and it was refreshing.

"It's a good movie."

"The special effects are not inferior to Hollywood at all."

"Lu Ping'an is really powerful."

"Guorong is really handsome...

Listening to everyone's discussions, Zhang Weiping felt like a great enemy in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to the movie at first.

What does he think about domestic science fiction movies, no matter how good they are?

He has also seen some of Lu Ping'an's movies before.

Anyway, the short film has no reference value.

There are only two long films.

One is a drama, it's okay, and the other is boring.

But now it seems that this road of peace feels like a sudden explosion to him.

Such a foreign approach, such a wonderful script, this is really something that a Nortel student can make?!

It's awesome, it's amazing!

It's the truth.

Zhang Weiping admitted.

But.

Still have to do something!

He knows that the quality of "Hero" actually does not exceed "Source Code" much in his opinion, and even after its release, fans will even feel that "Hero" is not as good as "Source Code".

But he also knows.

Word of mouth, in the context of the current project, is actually not the most important.

The most important thing is how to use the various resources in your hands to put "Hero" in the "first" position!

The No. 1 domestic film in terms of copyright transaction value.

The first domestic film to break 200 million.

The No. 1 domestic film in domestic film history at the box office.

Even to be the No. 1 domestic box office overseas, and even a Chinese-language movie!

When people in the future think of the first decade of the 21st century, the first domestic movie that comes to mind must be "Hero"!

The value of "Hero" lies in the "first", and if you can't be the "first", it makes no sense to spend so much effort!

Now "Source Code" is about to exceed 200 million, and after the postponement of the release in the next two months, it may exceed 250 million or even 300 million!

The third tier of "Heroes" is targeted at 150 million, the second tier is 200 million, and the first tier is 250 million.

Now "Source Code" is directly rushing to surpass 250 million.

How do you make "Heroes" play?

The film scheduling support is about the same, and the theatrical coverage of "Source Code" is slightly worse.

The quality of the other party is good, and the schedule advantage of the original Lunar New Year file may not be able to open much of a gap at present.

The advantage of "Hero" is only the ticket price, and the remaining ten percent, which "Source Code" does not involve in the scheduling and theater coverage.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Weiping feels that it is not easy for the box office to open up a big gap.

In his opinion, since "Hero" wants to become the No. 1 box office, it can't win narrowly, it must win by a big margin!

So after thinking about it for a while, he directly dialed Lao Mouzi:

"Lao Zhang, Lu Ping'an's "Source Code" may break 250 million, we must not let him do it!"

Zhang Weiping's tone was resolute.

After hearing this, the old man on the other end of the phone frowned: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I've got an idea"

After a while, Lao Mouzi sighed and said, "You want to offend people like this!" ”

Zhang Weiping disagreed: "Grades are the most important thing, Lao Zhang, listen to me, this time it's right!" If you don't, it'll be too late! ”

Lao Mouzi still wanted to speak, so Zhang Weiping hung up the phone, and then continued to dial out, until four or five o'clock in the morning, he fell asleep, and a few hours later he woke up and began to work.

。。。。。。。。

On October 25, "Source Code" exceeded 190 million, one step away from 200 million.

On the same day, at the China World Hotel, the domestic audio-visual copyright of "Hero" VCD and DVD started at 800,000 yuan and fell under the hammer of 19.8 million yuan, which was 2 million more than the original time and space, setting a record for the highest audio-visual copyright auction of domestic feature films.

For a time, the industry and the whole society were shocked!

The direction of public opinion is highly consistent:

"Hero" deserves to be the first blockbuster!"

"It's unimaginable that there are only 1.5 million for Source Code, and only Heroes can do 20 million!"

"Heroes is coming!"

“。。。”

Such a heat of copyright auction made Lu Ping'an aware of the abnormality.

Because the auction of the disc copyright of "Hero" seems to be much earlier than the original time and space.

Could it be that "Hero" is going to be upgraded?

Without waiting to think about it, on the 28th, the hero "Origin" was launched.

"Origin" is a 3-hour documentary that records the entire process of "Hero" from preparation to filming to completion.

And its listing has also attracted the attention of the whole society for the first time.

Because "Origin" is not only listed as a disc, but also broadcast on TV stations, it is said that the new picture paid 10 million advertising fees for this!

At this point, the promotional offensive of "Hero" has begun.

The industry has speculated that "Hero" may be released in November!

Just thinking about it, Deng Chao of the main creative team ran over with a newspaper: "Road guide, look." ”

Lu Ping'an took the newspaper, which was a local newspaper in Wuhan.

There is a news item on it, titled: "Chinese faces, Western-style structure, "Source Code" copied from Hollywood, how can it be called a domestic blockbuster? ”

Apparently this is coming to the dark.

Baoqiang, who ran the roadshow together, said angrily: "Brother, they are too much!" ”

Without waiting for Lu Ping'an to speak, Wu Guohua also called, saying that some negative comments about "Source Code" have suddenly increased a lot in the past few days.

I took a look on the Internet, and sure enough.

"Without any Chinese flavor, is the success of "Source Code" the success of domestic films, or the success of Hollywood?"

"The significance of blockbusters is in cultural transmission, not at the box office"

"A Western-style feast."

After reading these reports.

Lu Ping'an felt like he was back 20 years later.

It seems that it was only at that time that the media would attach so much importance to national culture.

Isn't it all about the outside world now?

The point is that these messages pop up all at once.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

As for the reason, Lu Ping'an doesn't have to guess to know.

It's definitely the interest groups on the "Hero" side.

Even if it's not, you have to assume that it is!

"Zhang Weiping is in a hurry!."

The person in charge of the light side who followed the main creator to run the roadshow smiled.

"Hero" is menacing, and the promotion of Gao Chao will never be opened only on the day of release, it will definitely be launched before that, and "Source Code" is not enough to see in front of it.

But so what?

Source Code is now 192 million!

This and the highest target set at the beginning has exceeded nearly 50 million!

Even if you ask me to withdraw now, we can all beat the gong and drum and go home for the New Year!

So what's the use of doing this?

Mr. Guangguang Wang and Mr. Huayi Wang glanced at each other and laughed.

Fighting.

The purpose of playing strategy is to win.

For the rest, let them be!

"Ping, what do you think?"

Guorong asked from the side.

If the article does not match the title, there is no need to be surprised, because it is corrected and does not affect the reading.
