203 Nearly 100 million a day, who can stand this?
After that, everyone chatted with He Fang about how to change the rules of the Hong Kong film industry, and He Fang gave his own understanding one by one.
"Big brother, where did he give so many plans, can we believe it? He is not an orthodox voice in the mainland. "Someone is attached to Jackie Chan's side.
"You don't understand, I spend more time in the mainland. There are some things that are inconvenient for the official to come out and say directly, and it is best for the people to do it. So which non-governmental person in the mainland do you think has the energy to do this? Where is the best fit. β
"First, his international and domestic status, although he doesn't dare to say that he is higher than Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige now, at least he is at the same level."
"The second is that the force behind him is the official force, the Lake Film Group, which is currently the second largest film group in the mainland. Third, he was appreciated by the big leaders, and I heard that many departments strongly supported him. β
"So, his words are very credible, and he is guaranteed by Tuanhuo cultural cooperation, what are we afraid of? Didn't he say that those who are worried can make a co-production with Tuanhuo Culture and share the global publicity and distribution resources of Tuanhuo Culture, what else do you want? β
Jackie Chan's words made the person with the ear only laugh twice, and the eyes of the person who looked at him became more gloomy.
"I heard that he has been making bad movies in the United States, why do you think the United States doesn't do it and he is still helping him do global distribution?" The man was eared again.
Jackie Chan smiled, "Unless Hollywood movies don't want to be released in the mainland, they have the final say on how Hollywood enters the mainland." Therefore, not only did they not dare to block Hefang, but they also had to help him. I don't understand what is in it, why do you have the confidence? When one day you have a market of 1.4 billion people to support you, you are more confident than him. β
"Hiss......" The man gritted his teeth and took a breath, not knowing what to say.
On the other side of He Fang, Wu Jing asked He Fang curiously: "Director He, I don't think they will really do what you say, they are very xenophobic, although they support you on the surface, it will be something else when they turn their heads." It's like they resist piracy every day, but it's hard to say what they actually do, and they can only do it the same way as they want to make money. β
Wu Jing obviously knows this group of people very well, so he told He Fang the inside story.
However, He Fang waved his hand indifferently, and then said in Wu Jing's ear.
"In this ......, I didn't expect them to really listen to me and work together, of course, it would be best to work together. The important thing is that I made a tantalizing suggestion to divide them, to paraphrase a phrase from "Let the Bullets Fly": Is the future of Hong Kong cinema important to me? It's not important, but it's important for me to divide the bad mentality and behavior of the Hong Kong film industry that is hostile to the mainland. The reason why I think Hong Kong movies still need to exist is because there are many movies that can only be made in Hong Kong. β
"......" Wu Jing was stunned, he thought that He Fang's idea was like this, but in fact, He Fang's idea was more advanced.
β¦β¦
We talked a lot that night, and many things could not be achieved by meeting in one meeting. After all, the Hong Kong film industry is not united, we have to wait for them to think it out clearly, anyway, the attitude of the party is that the door of Tuanhuo culture is always open, and cooperation is welcome at any time.
Before returning to the room, He Fang refused the arrangement of a few bigwigs, although the tender model is very tempting, He Fang is still afraid that others will set him up, the paparazzi in Hong Kong are too undisciplined, but people dare to rush in the door to take pictures.
The first day of the Lunar New Year has passed like this, but the heavy words made by He Fang in Hong Kong have caused huge waves in the media of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they have criticized He Fang for interfering with Hong Kong's ecology.
Some of the opposition even jumped to their feet and cursed, but they didn't pay attention to them as if they were dogs barking.
He doesn't need to do anything, he just needs to tell the truth to Hong Kong, tell the truth, and then the lies woven by those people will be broken, and then they will have to work harder to reweave them.
After 0:00, as soon as the first day of the Lunar New Year passed, He Fang received box office information, the box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the mainland was 90.51 million, breaking through a new single-day high in history.
He himself slightly assessed that it should not be a problem for the monthly box office to reach 1.23 billion, and I don't know if it can break through the 1.36 billion of "Avatar".
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the crew of "Pacific Rim" moved to Singapore, and the global box office also came out at this time.
Chinese mainland 90.51 million yuan, contract 13.31 million US dollars.
$5.89 million in North America, down by half when it entered the working day.
The rest of the world is $14.72 million, which is affected by the working day, and if it weren't for the Spring Festival in some countries in Asia, the box office would be low.
However, the box office is already very strong, the global box office reached $33.92 million on the first day of the new year, and the first week has passed, and box office experts have given their final global box office prediction for "Pacific Rim".
According to the box office trends in North America and Chinese mainland, experts predict that the global box office will eventually exceed $540 million.
This data is stable to make money, and this is not counting the copyright income of the periphery and beyond, this periphery is very obsessed with copyright income, and the good operation can exceed the box office income several times.
For example, Disney's peripherals exceed Disney's movie box office revenue by three times, and the box office revenue is only 30% of Disney's film revenue, and the movie-related industry chain and its licensed brand revenue account for 70%.
Although the current operation of "Pacific Rim" is not very ideal, it is because "Pacific Rim" has not really made an impact on the world. When the follow-up movies of "Huantai 2, 3, and 4" come out and the global audience likes it, that is the real influence.
However, at this stage, it is easy to say that as long as "Pacific Rim" makes money, at least those domestic film companies are relieved to prove that He Fang's route is right and the strategy is no problem, which is worth their money to invest in one after another.
What is the significance of Pacific Rim? Whether it can succeed is related to the question of whether China has the ability to make heavy industrial films, whether it can revitalize the route of the industrialization of Lake Film Films, whether it can lead the transformation of China's film reform, whether it can boost domestic cultural confidence, whether it can arouse investors' interest in the film industry, and whether it can withstand the impact of Hollywood blockbusters......
"The box office of the first day of the new year [Pacific Rim] set a single-day box office record in Chinese mainland, 90.51 million yuan"
"[Pacific Rim] Starts the Lunar New Year and is expected to break the box office record in the mainland"
"He Fang's promise to regain the box office throne may come true"
"Where's Remarks in Hong Kong Are Debatable"
"As a director, he shouldn't make such remarks"
"He Fang Brings His Experience to the Hong Kong Film Industry"
"Will Hong Kong and Mainland Films Enter In-depth Cooperation? γ
"Minister Gu, do you see anyone's remarks in Hong Kong? What does it mean? He Ben called Gu Yang early in the morning, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
"What do you mean? What can be meaningful? Hong Kong is a place of free speech, and anyone can say anything. What's wrong with saying two truths? He is not a person in the system, he does not represent anyone, he represents himself at most, is there still a limit to what he says? Don't worry, it's okay. Gu Yang comforted He Ben on the phone.
"Are you alright?" He Ben breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really fine, put a hundred hearts. The big leader also praised He Fang for seeing the problem to the point, saying that what he said in Hong Kong and the cooperation he talked about with people in the Hong Kong film circle were very good, and it would be a great achievement if he could unite people in the Hong Kong film circle. β
"Hey, that's good, that's good." He was relieved.
Immediately he immediately called He Fang, who just got off the plane, received a call from He Ben, he also smiled, he knew the big leader, and he had ambitions and new dreams. Therefore, he estimated that there was a high probability that there would be no problem before he dared to say those words.
β¦β¦
Singapore is a city-state, but it is significant and famous all over the world.
As soon as the crew of "Pacific Rim" arrived in Singapore, they were immediately surrounded by the media, and various topics were asked.
"Director He, is your speech on the Hong Kong issue representing the mainland's thoughts?"
"Who is the director, is it that Chinese mainland will change its strategy towards Hong Kong?"
"Director ...... Who"
"Alright, alright, don't ask me these sensitive questions, I don't understand. The reason why I said those things in Hong Kong was not because the reporter wanted me to answer them. What I say only represents my personal opinion, not the attitude of other people, I am a director, and I am not in the system, how can you associate what I say with the official attitude? Don't ask me such questions, I won't answer them. Ask the question of the movie, okay? β
He Fang sternly rejected the relevant questions, some words will stop at the point, and if you say too much, it will cause a big event.
As a director, it's okay for him to say a few words occasionally, but if he keeps saying it, it's a big problem.
When it comes to asking questions about movies, it's a clichΓ© again, so I have to say it again after answering countless times from reporters around the world.
Singapore is a mecca for Chinese in Southeast Asia, but it's a pity that it's too small for all Chinese to move over.
How many Chinese are there in Southeast Asia? There are 8 million in Thailand, 7.4 million in Malaysia, 3.7 million in Singapore, 1.2 million in Vietnam, 1.35 million in the Philippines and 2.8 million in Indonesia. In these countries alone, there are 24.45 million Chinese, and there are a large number of Chinese people who do not recognize the Chinese ethnic group, and it is estimated that there are several hundred million.
More than 20 million people can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, and the traditional Chinese culture has been preserved very well.
Unfortunately, if there is a place that can carry 350 million people for the Chinese to build a country here, it may be a different scene.
It's far away, it is precisely because there are many Chinese, so when China's sci-fi blockbuster "Pacific Rim" was launched, the Chinese in Southeast Asia were still very supportive, just like they supported Hong Kong films back then.
Singapore's cinema chain is basically controlled by the Chinese, so everyone is very good at scheduling films, but Singapore's volume is too small and too small, so it's better than nothing.
However, many fans in Malay have come to support.
Singapore's New Year flavor has amazed several Hollywood stars, but unexpectedly, the Spring Festival atmosphere here is even heavier, allowing them to experience the Chinese New Year taste from Chinese mainland to overseas at one time.
After the event in several theaters, they were interviewed by Mediacorp Channel 8 in Singapore, where everyone spoke freely, and there was no restriction on speech, so they could talk about anything.
After recording the show, they flew to Bangkok. After getting off the plane, the mainland box office data of the second year of junior high school was also released, and the single-day box office of "Pacific Rim" in Chinese mainland in the second year of junior high reached a new high, reaching 95.66 million yuan in a single day.
The domestic media were stunned, nearly 100 million in a single day, such data is so amazing, I never thought about it.
The popularity of "Pacific Rim" has completely convinced the domestic audience of the production ability of domestic films, and there can also be such a phenomenal single film, with a single-day box office of over 100 million, and there are only 35 movies with a box office of over 100 million in 2011, many of which are Hollywood blockbusters.
Now the box office of "Pacific Rim" is the total box office of a movie of nearly 100 million a day, which makes many filmmakers unbearable, and those filmmakers who still hold art are ready to move, what art are they playing? Isn't it fragrant with a box office of 100 million a day?
In addition to the collective explosion of filmmakers, there are also capitals who have exploded. 100 million a day is really exciting, opening a factory and opening a company to earn 100 million a year can be listed, what is the concept of 100 million a day?
Well, the box office on the second day of the Lunar New Year made everyone's blood pressure soar, and they could bear it, but the box office on the third day of the Lunar New Year was still more than 90 million, 92.33 million, who could bear it? Every day is so more than 90 million nearly 100 million, this Chinese New Year makes everyone feel that this money is too easy to make, 100 million a day, this is special...... It's easy to get started.
So it's only the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and those big bosses asked the company's assistants to consult the leading film companies, asking them if they have blockbuster films, and they are willing to invest in shares.
A large amount of capital began to be ready to smash into the film and television industry, and many film company owners were stunned, and the capital came like this? This...... It's too easy, right?
Not only is the domestic capital chaotic, but even the capital and filmmakers with Hong Kong are dumbfounded, this is too fierce, right? If a movie of theirs can get a box office of 350 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, it is a good movie, but the mainland market is 100 million a day?
What else is this special going to the mainland to consider? Hurry up and get the project straight on.
Of course, the chaos is also numerous, and when He Fang flew from Bangkok to Tokyo and received calls from some insiders, he was disturbed.
I had to post a Weibo on Weibo when I was free to curb this hot money.
"The domestic box office of the Spring Festival file "Pacific Rim" is hot, and as a director, I would like to thank all fans for their support. However, I heard that because the box office of "Pacific Rim" was so good, some investors were not even happy for the Spring Festival and were ready to invest heavily in movies. I would like to advise investors here: the film market is risky, and investment must be cautious. β
"Not all movies will be as successful as "Pacific Rim", although Lake Film Group has an evaluation system, but the evaluation system is not omnipotent. What about Hollywood's green light system, have they been screened by the green light system to make every movie successful? Apparently not. β
"Therefore, don't see that "Pacific Rim" is on fire, so you throw money into it, which can easily cause a pile of investments and losses, and finally the investors will exit the market bloodily, and after the hot money exits, it is actually the film and television industry that will hurt more."
"Cautious investment, I solemnly appeal here, don't be blind, the film and television industry is definitely an important track in the future, according to our estimates, at most in another ten years, China's box office market will reach about 70 billion, which is equivalent to the annual $10 billion market in North America, and the scale of related industries brought up by the film and television industry will exceed 500 billion. Therefore, this is the golden track in the next ten years, don't worry, you can only take a good path after a good start, if you collapse by everyone at the beginning, then the road after that will not be good. β
"Let's talk about this, if you can listen, be steady, and if you can't listen, don't scold your mother."
