The first batch of viewers who watched the movie posted movie reviews on the Internet.

The Douban community has now been established, and the majority of fans also have a place where they can get together to chat about movies and score and evaluate.

On the day of the premiere of "Painted Skin", thousands of fans poured into Douban to score the movie and publish film reviews.

The next day, "Painted Skin" scored 8.2 on Douban, receiving more than 2,000 short reviews and more than 300 long reviews.

For today's movie fans, whether to decide to go to see a movie is still quite an important thing, after all, a movie ticket of 35 yuan is still quite expensive.

At this time, they usually go online to see the word-of-mouth situation and evaluation of the movie first.

The appearance of Douban can be said to be a timely rain.

And "Painted Skin" has become the movie that has benefited the most since the establishment of Douban.

The box office on the first day was 18 million, the second day was 22 million, and the third day was 25 million.

"Painted Skin" won a box office of 65 million in the first three days of the first weekend in China, breaking a series of records such as the daily box office of mainland films, the box office of three days in the first weekend, and the fastest box office to break 50 million!

And in Japan, Toho invited half of the Japanese film industry to hold a grand premiere for "Painted Skin", which also added a fire to the release of the Japanese market.

Dongbao, who is very willing to spend publicity money, also arranged online and offline one-stop publicity for "Painted Skin"!

Trailer + poster + star recommendation, a set of processes has come down, and the release news of "Painted Skin" is widely known in Japan.

Vixen + love, Japanese fans of this theme are too eaten!

Japanese movie fans like to watch this kind of romance film where he loves her and she loves him, coupled with fantasy elements such as fox spirits, skin changing, and heart-eating, it is even more familiar with various myths and legends of the Warring States period in Japan!

There are no cultural barriers, the Han Dynasty is also a more familiar era in Japan (because of the Three Kingdoms), and there is no need for any superfluous explanations, Japanese fans can easily understand the story of "Painted Skin" when they enter the cinema.

And a commercial film, as long as it is simple and easy to understand, has the first element of selling box office.

has the favorability that "Your Name" brought to Japanese fans before, and Wu Yuan's "Painted Skin" was released at the beginning of its release, and major Japanese theaters gave this movie a high schedule.

The market has indeed given good feedback.

Also three days after the first weekend, "Painted Skin" grossed 800 million yen at the box office in Japan!

Although this result may not be as good as "Your Name", as a Chinese film with a costume fantasy theme, it is already very good.

Toho also gave box office expectations, thinking that "Painted Skin" should be able to earn about 5 billion yen at the box office in Japan.

It's almost the same as the box office of "Red Cliff" in Japan.

This is also the ceiling achievement of Chinese costume movies.

Something like "Your Name" that won more than 10 billion yen at the box office is not something that can be done every year, and it needs the right time and place.

Of course, China and Japan are not the only countries where "Painted Skin" premiered at the same time.

South Korea also had a large-scale premiere this time, and the distribution of movie theaters in South Korea is very similar to that of Japan, and more than half of the country's movie theaters are concentrated in Seoul.

Other big cities such as Busan and Incheon occupy most of the remaining movie theaters, and other smaller cities may not have a movie theater in several cities.

Under the full promotion of SHOWBOX, "Painted Skin" is also a little popular in South Korea.

The main thing is that Wu Yuan's brand is loud enough.

As one of the "allies" of the United States in East Asia, South Koreans naturally have a high regard for the various cultures and lifestyles and things of the United States.

Hollywood is also a movie paradise in the hearts of most Korean movie fans.

In South Korea, which is extremely xenophobic and has a high sense of national consciousness, all walks of life are in the name of supporting domestic production and domestic products, but only products from the United States can be accepted.

And it just so happens that Wu Yuan is a director who has been gilded in the United States!

The European Film Festival awards on him, Korean fans don't care.

But his "Juno" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" directed by him have done very well at the box office in South Korea, and he is also recognized by Korean fans as one of Hollywood's commercial directors.

When SHOWBOX promoted "Painted Skin", it never mentioned Wu Yuan's identity as a Chinese, but only promoted his identity as a great director of Hollywood, which is indeed very good.

Three days after the Korean premiere weekend of "Painted Skin", 420,000 fans were mobilized to watch it in cinemas, and the reputation of fermentation was not bad.

The love story is the most unpopular movie theme, and coupled with the convergence of East Asian cultures, monsters are not a difficult element to understand.

And for Koreans, this kind of mutual love comes and goes, you are her spare tire, and she is his spare tire, and the movie story really caters to their aesthetics.

Now Korean dramas are popular with this kind of plot, and it is even more bloody than this, and it is not popular throughout South Korea, and even exported to other Asian countries?

Although it is not enough to cause a national sensation, the box office performance of "Painted Skin" in South Korea is still okay and has increased steadily.

On the Korean Internet, there are also many netizens who are hotly discussing the movie "Painted Skin" and discussing the Chinese culture shown in this movie.

Different from the Ming-style clothing inherited from the Ming Dynasty in Korea, "Painted Skin" mainly shows the clothing style and customs of the Han Dynasty, which makes Koreans who do not know much about ancient China feel very novel.

It's not just South Korea.

Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand also premiered together on December 28.

"Painted Skin" has brought a wave of baptism and display of Chinese classical culture to audiences throughout East Asia.

From the desert Gobi to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the Han-style high-gate mansions, Qin bricks and Han tiles, small bridges and flowing waters, as well as the scholars with Eguanbo belts, the soldiers in gorgeous armor, and the women in neon clothes and feathers in the movie, all show the charm of the Han family.

"Painted Skin" has fantasy love on the one hand and the elegance of the Han Dynasty on the other, relying on these two weapons, it has achieved very good box office results as soon as it is released in six Asian countries.

In the first three days of the weekend, the six countries received a total of $15 million at the box office, earning back the investment capital.

In the first week of release, the box office in the mainland exceeded 100 million yuan, the box office in Japan exceeded 2 billion yen, and the total box office in Asia exceeded 35 million US dollars, which has basically achieved profitability.

With the arrival of the new week, the box office of "Painted Skin" is still strong, and it can still maintain a single-day box office of about 15 million in China.

It is an indisputable fact that the box office of "Painted Skin" surpassed that of "Ambush on All Sides" and "No Thieves in the World".

Mainland audiences, fans, and media reporters are all looking forward to whether "Painted Skin" can surpass the mountain of "Hero" by 250 million!

You must know that the total box office in the mainland market this year, including overseas imported films, is only 2 billion yuan!

If the box office of "Painted Skin" can exceed 200 million yuan, it is equivalent to one film occupying 10% of the entire mainland film box office market this year!

This is a very exaggerated thing!

But even so, domestic fans and media reporters are also full of expectations for "Painted Skin" to break the box office record of "Hero".

The record of "Hero" has really been held for a long time, and everyone hopes that a movie will stand up to break this record, and hope that the Chinese film industry can continue to climb!

Records are meant to be broken!

Now, "Painted Skin", the first fantasy blockbuster in the mainland that also occupies the "first" title, is menacing, how can people not expect it to set a new record?

It's just that at a time when the whole country is paying attention to the box office trend of "Painted Skin" and enthusiastically entering the cinema to support this movie, Wu Yuan quietly left Huaxia.

The leading actors of the crew of "Painted Skin" still have to participate in various variety shows and talk shows in China, even in Japan and South Korea, but Wu Yuan has to rush back to the United States to continue filming "Rush Hour 3".

The box office performance of "Painted Skin" has basically stabilized, and it is difficult to say whether it can break the mainland box office record of 250 million for "Hero", but it will definitely return to its original cost and make a lot of money.

Without the pressure of the box office, Wu Yuan naturally does not need to stay in Asia anymore, and has to continue his unfinished work.

But after he landed in Mexico City by plane, what was waiting for him was not the crew that started immediately, but a lively celebration party!

"Daniel, congratulations on your new blockbuster in Asia!"

"I heard that a lot of records have been broken?"

"It's you!"

Roald toasted Wu Yuan with a glass of champagne and said with anticipation: "I really hope that "Rush Hour 3" can also be a big hit at the Asian box office!" ”

Yes, after seeing Wu Yuan's box office appeal in Asia, Roald is looking forward to the Asian box office results of "Rush Hour 3"!

A Wu Yuan is already so fierce, so how can he pay it back with Cheng Long?

These two are both top directors and actors in Hollywood, and together they bring a collaborative movie, what a fantastic lineup for Asian fans?

This movie ticket is still not sold out?

Taking a sip of the champagne in his hand, Roald burped and said wistfully: "Maybe "Rush Hour 3" should also arrange a grand Asian premiere!" ”

"Asian fans deserve so much attention!"
