264 Four hundred million dollars in seven days, so it's a threat again?
In the next few days, there was no surprise to do publicity according to the established itinerary, and there were all kinds of cheers and praise along the way.
Especially Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, this is the first time that popular stars and crews from Chinese mainland have come to Vietnam to promote, which has simply driven many fans crazy.
Coupled with Zhang Qian's various renderings on the Internet in Vietnam in the early stage, Vietnamese fans are very enthusiastic, and thousands of fans picked up the plane as soon as they got off the plane, and they were all scared.
This is the hype method that Koreans are best at, but I didn't expect the Vietnamese to do the same.
However, South Korea is investing more and more in Vietnam, so Korean films and stars also come to Vietnam frequently, and it is normal for their methods to develop here.
Speaking of which, it's really ...... Admire South Korea's entertainment companies, grabbing the international market like mad dogs, and grabbing them everywhere.
The most outrageous thing is that in order to open up the American market, they dragged several men's and women's groups for nearly a year to rent a performance car to perform in counties at all levels and even larger towns in the United States, just to promote their stars and Korean culture.
This spirit, this drive...... It's no wonder that such a small country has spread their entertainment to almost every continent and country in the world.
In fact, He Fang attaches great importance to the expansion of the Vietnamese film market, and he thinks that the two most important markets in Southeast Asia are Indonesia and Vietnam, Indonesia mainly has a large population, with 260 million people, which is a big market.
In addition, the sovereignty is relatively independent, and it has good cooperative relations with the United States, China, and Russia.
The Philippines also has a population of 100 million, but unfortunately it is not well managed, it is too chaotic, resulting in a bad economy, and it is difficult for ordinary people to live, let alone consume movies.
Vietnam, on the other hand, is the third most populous country in Southeast Asia, with stable governance and positive change, unlocking a wealth of development opportunities. And their entertainment market is very open and developing rapidly.
Before he read Zhang Qian's Southeast Asian market analysis report, Vietnam is the fastest growing market at the box office, in 2008, Vietnam's total box office was only 6 million US dollars, and by 2012, Vietnam's market has grown by 50 million US dollars, growing at 60% every year, which is a very terrifying growth rate, according to the analysis of the evaluation team of Lake Film Group, by 2020, Vietnam's box office market will grow to 200 million US dollars, that is, about 1.26 billion yuan.
With such a volume, the annual head film works can get a box office of about 300 million yuan. For a small overseas market, if a film can get a box office of 300 million yuan, it is already very good.
Therefore, it is necessary to deepen the cultivation of Vietnam and Indonesia.
He Fang of the Philippines remembered that there was no improvement before crossing over, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to grow.
Therefore, Southeast Asia is basically a mature market with Singapore and Malaysia, and Vietnam and Indonesia as potential growth markets, and it will become the first and second largest markets in Southeast Asia in a maximum of ten years.
For example, Thailand and the Philippines are both markets, and other Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Brunei are meaningless markets.
In the face of the popular Vietnamese fans, they signed autographs and took photos with the fans one by one, and repeatedly warned everyone not to mess up, not to crowd, pay attention to personal safety, and even to pull the rude security guards not to do anything...... even gave water to fans......
This made Vietnamese fans very excited, and their reporters were also excited, feeling that the international stars from China are so close to the people and have good quality, and they are a hundred times better than some Vietnamese.
He Fang and the car they were in were followed by a lot of Vietnamese fans along the way, making them look like superstars, which really made He Fang and Fan Bingbing a little uncomfortable.
Are they so famous here? Like the Queen of the International Heavenly King.
When they arrived at the Sheraton Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, there were already a lot of fans who greeted them, and he had a feeling that this was China in the 90s.
Just like the enthusiasm of Chinese Hong Kong and Taiwan stars in the 90s when they went to the mainland, they can't be compared to Hong Kong and Taiwan stars in the 90s, they belong to international stars.
There is also a possibility that international stars rarely come to Vietnam, and they are rare to come to Vietnam, which is why they are so sensational and popular.
Immediately after getting out of the car, a bunch of reporters rushed up and surrounded them, saying things they didn't understand.
Fortunately, there is a translator.
"Why, this is your first time in Vietnam, is there any difference between the Vietnam you have seen and what you imagined?" Listening to the reporter's question, He Fang always felt that he had heard it somewhere.
"It's quite different, it's better than I expected, the Vietnamese people are very welcoming, it's like meeting a fellow countryman, I'm very touched." He Fang sensationalized.
Fan Bingbing and Yan Ran are standing aside, in fact, they are also learning how to deal with foreign media and fans, He Fang is indeed very sophisticated and good at touting others.
He doesn't like South Korea, but he has a hot fight with Korean fans, he doesn't like island countries, but he communicates with island fans in island dialect and praises them repeatedly.
Of course, he doesn't like the Hong Kong media, but he is gradually familiar with the Hong Kong media, and they are about to become strange friends.
Therefore, he said such sensual things to the Vietnamese media, and he was so emotional, Fan Bingbing and several people were shocked, shocked that he was so brazen that he could say these words against his will, but ...... It's worth learning from.
"Thank you for your love of Vietnamese fans, so do you have any deep impressions of Vietnamese people?" The reporter continued to ask.
"Of course there is, the Vietnamese are very tenacious, and they have the same tenacity as the Chinese. Vietnamese people are very enterprising in wanting to be rich and advanced, and I have heard that Vietnam has made great progress in its development over the years. Also, the Vietnamese food is delicious, and I have eaten it very well, which is very much in line with my taste as a Hunanese. ”
Not to mention, how can he seriously count many words praising Vietnam.
This made the Vietnamese reporters excited, so they asked a steady stream of questions, and even asked Fan Bingbing and them a lot of questions......
Only then did Fan Bingbing know that Vietnamese fans called her 'Asia's No. 1 Beauty', which scared her.
……
Towards the end of the interview, the staff ran over to tell He Fang that Vietnam's most popular male and female celebrities at the moment asked to meet them.
"Where? Is it here? He asked.
"Yes, they're out there." The ground receptionist said.
"Yes, no problem." He Fang said with a smile.
So, they met Vietnam's most popular male star Hu Yongke, a swarthy and sunny man who felt very young.
"Director He, hello Hello, my name is Hu Yongke, and I'm very happy to meet you today." Hu Yongke's excited hand held He Fang's hand, and he felt that his palms were sweaty and a little shaky.
He Fang smiled and patted his arm with his other hand, "Hello, Mr. Hu, I'm also very happy to meet you." ”
At this time, the ground staff around him introduced this man named Hu Yongke, who is very popular in Vietnam because he acted in a movie called "Lost Paradise", and this Vietnamese movie has been released in many countries, and I heard that the response is not bad.
It's a gay movie......
He Fang listened and nodded, "I hope to see more of your excellent works in the future, come on, Asia needs more excellent artists." ”
He Fang indiscriminately encouraged a few words.
"Thank you, thank you, Director He, I will definitely work hard, I hope to cooperate with you one day."
"I also hope to work with you and look forward to this day coming soon." He Fang said with a smile.
"Director He, the next is the hottest female star in Vietnam at the moment, named Hu Fang'e, known as Vietnam's Zhang Ziyi, because she looks a bit like Zhang Ziyi."
He Fang nodded while listening to the introduction, and at this time, a woman with a comparative face came over and stepped forward to shake hands with He Fang very politely.
"Director He, hello, I'm Hu Fang'e, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I'm also very happy to see you, I just heard from the staff that you look like Zhang Ziyi, I didn't believe it at first, it does have a bit of Zhang Ziyi's smell. I hope you will work hard and strive to surpass Zhang Ziyi as soon as possible, and don't let people say that you are Zhang Ziyi of Vietnam in the future, but that you are Hu Fang'e, an international star of Vietnam. ”
He is encouraging blindly, but the other party is very useful.
"Thank you Director He, you will definitely work hard."
……
Next, He Fang took a photo with the two celebrities, and then sent off the media and Vietnamese stars, and they were finally able to check into the hotel smoothly......
I heard that the news that they came to Vietnam caused a sensation and was also on the local TV station, which ......
Anyway, the next day's propaganda trip to Vietnam was full of people, how did it feel like being in China. Their population is only tens of millions, why are there so many people?
Oh, they have less land, in fact, the population density is greater than that of a province in the country, so it looks crowded, and this is Ho Chi Minh City, their largest city, so it is even more crowded.
"For the first time, I felt like I wasn't going to be a star, but a global superstar, and that ...... The fans in Vietnam were so enthusiastic that I was almost infected. Fan Bingbing said excitedly in the car on the propaganda road.
"Sister Bingbing, you are the 'No. 1 beauty in Asia', can you not be popular." Pan Zhilin smiled sweetly.
"Ha, yes, in their eyes I am the 'No. 1 beauty in Asia', haha, it's amazing, I love them to death."
……
It's a pity that I only stayed in Vietnam for one day, and I flew away that night......
They continued to promote in other cities in Southeast Asia, and the time came to February 16, which is already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year in China, and it just so happens that the domestic holiday this year will be put on the sixth day of the new year, and the seventh day of the new year is the first day of work.
Therefore, the overall Spring Festival holiday is over, and the box office data of the Spring Festival stalls are also released.
"The Origin of the White Snake" in China since the Chinese New Year's Eve, seven days respectively won 92.43 million, 123.18 million, 142.53 million, 151.62 million, 135.91 million, 128.74 million, 110.45 million, the total box office of the Spring Festival stall reached 884.86 million, that is, 884 million yuan, contract 140.45 million US dollars, about 140 million US dollars.
In North America, the seven-day period was $10.37 million, $12.11 million, 6.31 million, 6.75 million, 7.13 million, 6.12 million, and 8.71 million, with a total of $57.5 million in seven days.
The seven-day box office in the rest of the world was $25.92 million, $30.27 million, 1754, 18.86 million, 16.46 million, 17.12 million, and 21.65 million, respectively, for a total of $207.82 million or $207 million in seven days.
The total global box office was $405.77 million, or $405 million, in seven days only.
When this data came out, the New York Times couldn't sit still, they couldn't stand a Chinese film harvesting the global box office.
"It's time to stop, we can't let a Chinese director reap the box office like this again and again around the world"
Chinese director He Fang brought his new film to the global release, and in only seven days, it won 400 million US dollars at the global box office, which is an unprecedented achievement for Chinese films, which has even ranked in the top 145 box office data in film history, and even ranked 21st in the global box office in 2012, surpassing excellent films such as "Elf Hotel", "Snow White and the Hunter", and "Spy 4".
He Fang's CG special effects, which belong to the beauty of Chinese painting style, coupled with the traditional love story of the East, captured billions of viewers around the world in just seven days, and if he is allowed to develop like this, Chinese films will be a huge threat to Hollywood. The United States does not do second, so we cannot let the second pose a threat to us.
Those who are still promoting the growth of He Fang and the growth of Chinese films for the sake of profit should stop, you are cultivating demons...... We must not allow cultures that do not belong to the West to be popular around the world, which is to break the existing cultural rules of the US-dominated world......"
This commentator named Paul Mozar posted again, and he posted it last time.
Just after the New York Times posted, almost one-sided criticism of Paul Mozar on Twitter, Americans in this era are still confident, easy and generous. In 2012, China's GDP was $8.53 trillion, compared to $16.25 trillion in the United States, almost half of what the United States did.
So they don't have a sense of crisis at all, and it's alarmist to say that China is picking off Hollywood's global hegemony with just a few movies.
Warner's CEO Barry Meyer said to the media: "Paul Mozar, a commentator for the New York Times, said that "The Origin of the White Snake" has been ranked 145th in film history and 21st in 2012, so we must be vigilant and stop it. ”
"No, I think this Mr. Paul is too worried, he needs to know that the top 144 in film history are all Hollywood works, and he needs to know that the top 20 box office in 2012 are all Hollywood works. Because a non-Hollywood work broke into the 145th place in film history and the 21st place at the box office in 2012, and then we have to shout and kill, which is not the behavior of the first country. ”
"Paul, don't be anxious, it's far from the time to be anxious. Even if a non-Hollywood movie breaks into the top 50 in film history, don't be anxious about the top 10 at the annual box office, after all, when you see that all the movies around this movie are Hollywood movies, you can't overturn Hollywood with one movie. Be generous, we are number one in the world. ”
Meyer's words once made many reporters applaud, this is the generosity that the first country should have, the top 200 box office lists in global film history are all American movies, is it necessary to be nervous about suddenly breaking into a non-American movie?
He Fang retweeted Meyer's interview: "I thought I was going to explain again, it seems that the majority are sober and objective. Thank you, Mr. Meyer, for your pertinent words, I don't need anyone to say nice things for me, as long as everyone says something objective, I believe I will not be called a threat. ”
