Chapter 306: "Red Cliff" is here!

12 July 2008.

The Shenzhou-7 astronauts carried out the capsule activities, completed the first spacewalk of the Chinese people, and released the accompanying satellite.

The accompanying satellite carried out camera and photographic work on the spacecraft, and the astronauts in the cabin had a space-to-earth call with the Beijing flight control center.

Huaxia Aerospace has made a breakthrough and mastered the relevant technology of out-of-cabin activities, and has once again taken a solid step towards the establishment of a space station in outer space.

When astronaut Zhai hung outside the spacecraft and stretched out his hand to wave the Chinese flag in his hand, that bright red color stimulated countless Chinese people.

It turns out that space is not far away from us at all, and China's exploration of space is getting better!

Everyone's enthusiasm for Huaxia's aerospace industry needs a publicity point.

"Gravity" is a good fit.

So, when Wu Yuan rushed back to the capital from the Jiuquan launch base, what he saw was a box office record chart of reverse growth.

"Director Wu, the box office trend of "Gravity" is really contrary to common sense."

"For ordinary movies, the box office in the first three days of the first weekend can account for almost half of the total box office, whether it is in China or North America."

"But the 165 million box office of our "Gravity" opening weekend is just the beginning."

"The total box office in the second week was 223 million, and now it has only been released for two days in the third week, and the box office is 120 million."

"It's only been 12 days since its release, and the total box office of "Gravity" has exceeded 500 million yuan, breaking almost all the records of Chinese films."

"The highest single-day box office record, weekly box office record, and Chinese film box office record have all been refreshed by us!"

Li Xiaoping's face flashed with excitement, and the 20-degree air conditioner couldn't blow away the fine sweat on the tip of her nose.

The box office of 500 million yuan, this figure is completely astronomical in today's mainland film market!

Last year's mainland film box office champion "Assembly" only won a box office of 250 million, and "Transformers", the first of the year, is 30 million more.

And Wu Yuan's "Gravity" directly doubled this number!

And that's not the end of it!

It's only been 12 days since it was released, and the box office potential of "Gravity" can still be tapped!

"Haha, this is a special case, and it has no reference value." Wu Yuan waved his hand, and said with some pride and some pride: "The box office of "Gravity" can achieve reverse growth, mainly because collective movie-watching activities have been organized all over the country, coupled with the launch of Shenzhou 7, which has added another fire to the movie. ”

"It's impossible to replicate this kind of good thing, even if it's me, the next movie probably won't have this kind of treatment."

"Yes, it's a pity that "Red Cliff" is about to be released." Thinking of this, Li Xiaoping also sighed.

Today is the 13th, and "Red Cliff" on the 15th will be released simultaneously in China, Thailand, and South Korea.

In recent days, the Internet has been overwhelmingly full of "Red Cliff" promotion, and trailers and trailers are everywhere.

is also a big production with an investment of 300 million, no one is not afraid of this behemoth, especially "Gravity", which was released half a month earlier than "Red Cliff", and it is more necessary to worry about the appearance of "Red Cliff", which will seize its follow-up market share.

The cake is so big, if you eat one more bite, then everyone else will eat less.

Li Xiaoping's face was a little cloudy, she still didn't understand why Wu Yuan had to squeeze "Red Cliff" into a month.

Although the two movies have been staggered for half a month, and now the main box office of "Gravity" is basically in hand, no one wants a giant crocodile to grab food before the movie is released, even if it is just leftovers.

""Red Cliff" is about to be released?" The corners of Wu Yuan's mouth are hooked, you are the one who is waiting for!

Now the whole country is still organizing collective movie viewing, and two or three days can't digest so many primary and secondary school students and public officials.

Han Dong of China Film didn't expect that his superiors would support the movie "Gravity" so much, thinking that it was enough to leave a half-month window for "Gravity".

Unexpectedly, this time the top gave a big wave.

You must know that the later "Jianzitou" movies did not organize any collective viewing activities for primary and secondary school students!

Now Han Dong regrets it a little

China Film Group, Chairman's Office.

"Director Wu, why don't we reschedule?"

Han Sanping sighed, glanced at Wu Baige, who was sitting on the sofa with an extremely embarrassed face, and said: "Now "Gravity" occupies almost 80% of the film schedules in major movie theaters across the country, and watching this momentum, it will last for at least a week or so, and the public's enthusiasm for watching movies will decrease." ”

"At this time, the release of "Red Cliff" is undoubtedly a very unwise thing."

As the helmsman of the Huaxia film industry, Han Sanping certainly doesn't want his own people to beat his own people, especially when both films have China Film investment, of course he hopes that both movies can be good.

"Red Cliff" is now released, and it can indeed grab a piece of the market from "Gravity", at least three days after the premiere, it can occupy half of it, and even get more than "Gravity", but this will not affect the current hot release of "Gravity".

"Why don't we reschedule it to November?"

"November is also very good, the New Year file, there are no blockbusters in this year's New Year file, Director Feng's "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is scheduled for December 20th, and "Mei Lanfang" directed by Kaige is also in early December."

"There are no blockbusters in November, and the whole month can be handed over to "Red Cliff", how good is that."

However, in the face of Han Sanping's persuasion, Wu Baige was not moved at all.

He had a black face and said in a shocking voice: "The publicity for the release of "Red Cliff" has been done for more than half a year! ”

"Since February, it has been announced that it will be released on July 15th, and all kinds of promotional materials have done this, and several versions of the trailer and trailer have been released!"

"Now that it's about to be released, I suddenly have to notify fans to change the schedule, can this fan accept it?"

"It's not just the fans, it's impossible for the producer to accept it!"

"Suddenly changed to November, such a long waiting period in between, the publicity done before is equivalent to all in vain!"

"Spending so much money on publicity, this money can't be wasted!"

"Even if there is a knife in the sky and flames on the ground, "Red Cliff" must be released on July 15, and it is impossible to change the file!"

"Isn't it just a science fiction movie?

"He's been on the screen for half a month, can he still snipe me?"

It's still two or three days before it will be released before I think about withdrawing it, it's really too late.

If "Red Cliff" is withdrawn now, it will almost clearly tell everyone that "Red Cliff" is afraid of gravity, all the preliminary preparations will be in vain, and it will have a reputation of being cowardly and fleeing without a fight, and the results of the next release will not be good.

At least with Wu Baige's experience, the movies that were temporarily withdrawn in Haolaiwu were basically rescheduled for release later.

On the contrary, in the face of strong movies, there have been many box office dark horses in the movies that insist on not changing the schedule, and they have stepped on the throne with those fierce movies.

In Wu Baige's eyes, his "Red Cliff" is obviously able to step on "Gravity" to become the box office champion.

This is the story of the Three Kingdoms that the Chinese people are most familiar with!

The mass base is much larger than that of "Gravity", even if it is blessed by administrative forces, it can at least be able to fight against it!

"Okay." Seeing Wu Baige's insistence, Han Sanping couldn't say anything more, he also knew that withdrawing from the battle was not a good choice, at least "Red Cliff" would not be forced to this extent.

It's just a pity that the two tigers are fighting.

Two days later, on July 15, "Red Cliff" held an extremely grand premiere, which was simultaneously screened in three places across the Taiwan Strait of China, South Korea, Thailand, and Singapore.

Since the day of its release, "Red Cliff" has divided half of the film schedule of "Gravity", and the box office has successfully exceeded 100 million in four days after its premiere.

This result is not bad, breaking 100 million in four days, which before this year, no Chinese film has achieved this result.

However, this is no longer the case.

With the achievement of 165 million yuan in three days of "Gravity", Yuzhu is in front, and the main creators of the entire "Red Cliff" movie are clouded with a little haze.

The opening results did not exceed "Gravity", and it is even more unrealistic to achieve a box office counterattack in the future

It seems that the release of "Red Cliff" is a little bad! (End of chapter)
