In the next few days, He Fang took the creators to Berlin and Los Angeles, and then he left the crew in the United States, and he returned to the "Red Sea Operation" crew alone.

After three days of promotion in the United States, the crew of "Pacific Rim 2" was divided into two groups, one went to Asia and one went to Europe for the next week of promotion.

On July 8, the movie was officially released simultaneously around the world, and fans who had been lured by publicity and hype rushed into the cinema for the first time, and because of the huge publicity of "Pacific Rim 2", not only Chinese blockbusters were avoided, but even Hollywood blockbusters were also avoided.

"Independence Day 2", "Warcraft", "Tarzan Returns: War of the Apes", "Ice Age 5: Interstellar Collision", "Spy 5" and other Hollywood popular movies have either been raised or pushed, and no popular movies have been released during the entire schedule from July 8 to 22, all of which have made way for "Pacific Rim 2".

And Chinese movies are the same, "Cold War 2", which was originally planned to be released on July 8 in the summer, pushed the schedule to July 29, avoiding the big demon "Pacific Rim 2".

In China, the film schedule of "Pacific Rim 2" once reached 61%, which is equivalent to basically monopolizing the film schedule, what is the concept of 61%? It is equivalent to basically "Pacific Rim 2" from the afternoon to midnight, and only part of the morning and afternoon, and then add the sporadic number of nights to have other movie scheduling opportunities.

If Zhang Weiping still makes movies, he will jump up and scold "Pacific Rim 2" for monopoly.

"Director He, the crew organized a group to watch "Pacific Rim 2" at night, do you still want to go?" Duan Yihong asked where he was in the afternoon when he returned to the crew to take over the filming.

"I'm not going, you go and see, I've been exhausted to death for the past few days. I just had a night's rest and have the energy to shoot tomorrow. He Fang refused, after all, it was not easy for him in the past ten days.

He Fang didn't rest immediately that night, but sat in the computer room and watched the shooting materials of this week, he had to check to see if it was up to standard, and whether he needed to make up the shot.

It's a pity that there are no actresses in "Operation Red Sea", and the only two female leads, He Fang, are not interested, so the two of them also have self-knowledge and did not stay quietly.

After He Fang finished reading the material, he looked at the box office data of Maoyan, which was not bad, and the box office in Chinese mainland took 372.87 million yuan, that is, 372.8 million on the first day.

This data is very nice, very OK, take a look at the score, Maoyan score 9.7, Douban score 8.8, although it will be lowered later, but the box office and score on the first day are stable, at least four billion is no problem, and the box office of five billion is not a dream.

And with the box office data of Chinese mainland released, the box office of the rest of Asia is also released.

The island nation received $8.23 million, South Korea $4.31 million, Taiwan Province $3.27 million, Hong Kong $1.46 million, India $3.52 million, Malaysia $1.25 million, the Philippines $1.18 million, and Singapore $960,000......

The box office across Asia reached $104.2 million, or $104.2 million.

If you can stabilize the publicity and distribution ability of Asia for a long time, even if you break off from Europe and the United States in the future, you can get more than a billion dollars for a big movie in Asia alone.

After reading the box office data, He Fang returned to the room to wash and sleep, tired and rested.

Of course, the crew also came back after watching the movie, and they were all discussing excitedly, a blockbuster is a blockbuster.

There is a lot of room for operation in the future of the IP of "Pacific Rim", because a cosmic concept has been formed. That is, the mecha universe, and the monster universe.

These two are both contents that can be dug deeper, and after slowly expanding, you can make a lot of related IP movies.

Of course, the two concepts of mecha and monsters are not new, but the systematic concept of mecha and monsters has been slowly formed in "Pacific Rim 2", which is to lay the foundation for long-term IP.

As long as these IPs are successfully created, the Tuanhuo culture and who will seem to have been prosperous for a long time in the future. The concept of "Pacific Rim" alone can be eaten for a long time, after all, the peripherals of mecha and monsters can also make a lot of money, and you can also make a lot of money by engaging in IP licensing.

What's even more terrifying is that He Fang is too young, only thirty-three years old, a world-renowned director who is only thirty-three years old, and has countless good IPs that can be developed for a long time, and even has the great ability to develop new IPs......

As long as any filmmaker is bound to where the depth is, then he will not have to worry about it in this life.

For example, where to specialize in photography, where to specialize in art, and where to do costumes...... What are you worried about in this life, after doing it for a long time, you want to be famous and profitable.

As soon as he goes out, there is a dedicated artist for He Fang, this head, the global film industry has to sell noodles.

The actors too, if only they could bind somewhere...... It's a pity that the audience doesn't want to see their faces all the time in all the movies of Where, or else...... However, as long as you act in a few more films, it will also be an international star.

Of course, He Fang knew what others were thinking, so when he saw the crew who were more flattering to him the next morning, he just smiled and continued to devote himself to the filming of "Red Sea Movement".

As a result, not long after the shooting, he received news that local officials came to condole, and it seems that they also want to rub some traffic from here......

On July 8, the global first-day box office was released, with Europe winning $46.81 million on the first day and North America winning $41.2 million, which is a new high-level box office for He's domestic films in North America.

The rest of the world took in $34.17 million, including the South Pacific, Africa, Central and South America, and South America.

"Pacific Rim 2" earned a total of $226.38 million and $226.3 million at the global box office on its first day. This figure is nearly $10 million higher than the $218 million box office of "Jurassic World" on its first day.

And "Jurassic World" has now received $1.8 billion, and "Pacific Rim 2" is a little higher than "Jurassic World", doesn't it really mean that it can reach a box office of $2 billion?

"He Fang's bold words are not unrealizable, referring to the box office trend of [Jurassic World], [Pacific Rim 2] is very likely to exceed $2 billion"

Where is the rhetoric about to come true? 》

"[Pacific Rim 2]'s first-day box office set a new high for a movie"

"The first domestic $2 billion box office record is about to be born? 》

"Criticizing who bragging, you can silently delete the criticism"

"Who has confirmed his truth with many prophecies, why should anyone still question it?" 》

"Someone is trying to use double standards to negate the imminent failure of [Pacific Rim 2]"

"[Pacific Rim 2] 10 Secrets of Success

"Many domestic film and television companies ushered in the upsurge of learning [Pacific Rim 2]"

"Feng Xiaogang: Where to brag about the bull has come true, which makes me admire it very much"

"Chen Kaige: Who is the new benchmark, he is only 33 years old"

……

As soon as the box office came out on the first day, public opinion was in an uproar, but I didn't expect that the boast was going to come true?

This was followed by a global box office of $276.5 million on July 9 and a global box office of $245.1 million on July 10, for a total of $747.9 million in the first three days, directly surpassing the $670 million on the first Wednesday day of "Jurassic World" by nearly 100 million.

And as soon as July 10 passed, the global monthly box office of "Jurassic World" was also released, with $1.86 billion.

Now this data is completely convincing, whether it is the first-day box office or the first-week box office, "Pacific Rim 2" is higher than "Jurassic World". And "Jurassic World", which was low on the first day and in the first week, won 1.86 billion at the monthly box office, so is there a problem with the better trend of "Pacific Rim 2" reaching 2 billion?

The next thing to discuss is why "Pacific Rim 2" is a better seller than "Jurassic World"?

Both European and American media and Asian media seem to have given similar reasons, one is that the pattern and scenes of "Pacific Rim 2" are larger, the second is the more exciting and exciting "Pacific Rim 2", and the third is that the mecha and monsters of "Pacific Rim 2" are more attractive than dinosaurs......

Anyway, there are nearly a dozen advantages listed to prove that "Huantai 2" is more popular than "Jurassic World", and it is obvious that this is just the result of the media comparing the quality of the movie itself.

There are other real differences, such as "Huantai 2" has invested more publicity and distribution costs, "Huantai 2" has far surpassed "Jurassic World" at the box office in Chinese mainland, and "Huantai 2" has the blessing of "Jurassic World" in front......

The whole July has become a one-man show of "Huantai 2", which is too popular and too explosive, not only the box office of the movie has sold well, but even the peripherals have also sold out.

The surrounding figurine production factories jointly invested by Huying Group and Tuanhuo Culture have all exploded, and the workers in the factories have complained that they don't have time to watch "Pacific Rim 2" after working overtime every day.

The box office in the next few weeks was $881.6 million in the second week, $440.8 million in the third week, $82.65 million in the fourth week, and $27.55 million in the fifth week, for a total of $2.204 billion in a single month, breaking a new record for Chinese-language films.

And the box office directly rose to the second place in the world, surpassing "Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens" with $2.06 billion and "Titanic" with $2.19 billion, and the box office difference of $500 million from the first-ranked "Avatar" with $2.7 billion.

This box office directly shocked the world, and at this time many Hollywood filmmakers really began to work together, before they were divided on Chinese films, and only a very small number of people felt that Chinese films were a threat.

But the explosion of "Pacific Rim 2" frightened them, and they didn't expect the threat to be so big that they almost went to the first place.

Therefore, when the New York Times once again attacked He Fang with content such as 'He Fang and Chinese films have undermined the existing film order and threatened the West's discourse', the whole United States was silent, and no one came to refute and criticize the New York Times' remarks.

There are even a few extreme filmmakers who are still echoing it, and they are also clamoring for the threat of Chinese films, the threat of whom.

Once there is no one to refute, to stand up for what to speak for, to speak for Chinese films, then the entire Western public opinion machine will be activated.

The next is a series of crimes that the media are counting in one after another, one is that the Fengyun Award he initiated has destroyed the order of film awards dominated by the West, the second is that he is making Chinese military films to promote military threats, the third is his attempt to unify the discourse power of Asian films, the fourth is that he uses low prices to destroy the special effects technology of Europe and the United States, and the fifth is who is engaged in personal dictatorship in the Chinese film industry, and he personally monopolizes the right to speak in the film industry......

Anyway, Lin Lin always counted more than a dozen crimes for He Fang, and he was heinous anyway, and he must be defeated.

Not only did the US and Western media begin to build momentum, but even the media in some Taiwan provinces, Hong Kong, and the southern part of the mainland, especially the Beijing News, jumped out to accuse the US and Western side of not being so radical in undermining the mature and perfect value order of the United States and the West, saying that they did not have a sense of morality and did not want the US and the West to act within the framework of the order......

Of course, it doesn't mean that no one has spoken out for anything, and there are many oriental media and public opinion that are refuting it.

He Fang is still making movies, and it will take more than ten days to kill the watch, of course he has seen the public opinion on the Internet, and the public opinion is turbulent, the key is that these people are just blindly criticizing, and no media has come to interview him.

Why not interview him? I just don't want him to speak out.

So He Fang had no choice but to speak out on platforms such as Toutiao, Twitter, and Facebook.

"Can't afford to slander and attack? Is it not that if one day the US economy is bad, they will change the rules of the WTO that they dominate and then destroy the rules they have set themselves? This is the belly of the first country?

It's just a movie, but it's just a box office of $2.2 billion, which breaks the defense? Can't afford it? As soon as you see that others are a little better, you start to slander and attack? ”

With He Fang's voice, public opinion is finally a little better, and there is no longer so turbulent public opinion, but there are still a lot of yin and yang weird words.

criticized He Fang for relying on China's 1.4 billion market to guide and kidnap the wind of the international market, and criticized Asian films for not dancing with Chinese films......

As for the criticism of who is destroying the order in China, a large number of netizens on the Internet have been speechless, and they will only shout there who has destroyed the existing order and rules, we must develop, but we must also be obedient.

But immediately another argument also came out, they said this: 'Who should not bring disaster to Chinese films, just because he made the United States and the West target Chinese films, with the intention of suppressing Chinese films, who should kneel down and apologize for this!'" ’

"I just made a movie that hit the box office, what did I go wrong with? Can't make a movie? Can't movies sell? Want me to apologize? Still want me to kneel? Even the United States and the West didn't say that they wanted me to kneel down and apologize, and some people in China were there excitedly wanting to kill my face.

I don't understand, and I can't understand it. Sometimes the biggest enemy is not the opponent, but your own people, these people...... You are good, history will remember you. ”
