Chapter 167: The Rich Second Generation Comes Rushing to Catch Up (Second Update)
Shen Mengxi explained the origin of his nickname as a reborn, and added by the way: "I actually think that vision belongs to vision, but sometimes it depends on luck!"
His tone was full of sincerity: "For example, "The Hunger Games, we all know that dystopian themes are very popular in the market and can make money, but who would have thought that "The Hunger Games" would make such a profit? So, I have always thought that making movies is really a matter of luck a lot of times!"
Nancy's eyes lit up: "... Shen, do you think this is a good publicity point?"
"What?"
"The Reborn..."Nancy was a little excited: "With Fox's propaganda network and the TV station, we are sure that we will spread the name of the Reborn all over the United States in two days!"
Shen Mengxi looked like a fool: "Then you ask me tomorrow's Dawn Index!"
"Do you really know tomorrow's Dawn Index?"
"If I knew the Dawn Index, I would still make a movie on a horse?
"Uh... All right. β
Nancy shut up in embarrassment...
......
After flying for 12 hours, it is already the 11th in the country ...
"The Great Wall" was 94 million on the first day, 102 million the next day, and on the third day, it broke out, winning 166 million box office and 362 million in the first weekend...
On the 10th, the weekday box office was 150 million...
Less than 10%!
Directly promoted to a phenomenal blockbuster!
Although there are many low-priced tickets for candidates, the statistical box office is calculated according to the ticket billed by the theater.
Not only that, in the first weekend of North America, $44 million dominated the Danzhou box office in the United States;
The box office in Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America has hit new highs for domestic films.
In Europe, "The Great Wall" grossed more than $28 million in its opening weekend;
Southeast Asia, $15 million at the opening weekend;
Latin America, opening weekend, $13 million;
Oceania, first weekend, $3 million;
South Korea was released simultaneously, with 850,000 moviegoers in the first weekend and a box office of more than $1 million...
By the way, the distributor's global box office estimate for "The Great Wall" is $5 million in South Korea;
The release of Japanese benzene has been postponed, and it may not be released until August;
At the end of the first weekend, the global box office of "The Great Wall" was close to $160 million!
Totally exceeded expectations.
Of course, the box office performance of South Korea and Oceania failed to meet expectations...
But Latin America and Europe have completely exceeded expectations!
Now it seems that the overseas performance can be at least more than 250 million US dollars, and even better, maybe 3~400 million US dollars...
Coupled with the better-than-expected box office performance in China...
It's a sure thing to surpass "Walking with God"!
......
Shen Mengxi posted on Weibo, a little emotional: "I just got the settlement data of the global opening weekend of "The Great Wall", 160 million US dollars, including 56 million US dollars at the box office in the mainland, 44 million US dollars in North America, and 60 million US dollars in the rest of the world, this result completely exceeded expectations, I am very proud, which shows that our efforts in the past three years have not been in vain, and it also shows that Chinese films can go overseas!"
"If you have any questions you want to ask, you can ask them, I have half an hour, and I will record a talk show later to promote "The Great Wall"..."
Immediately, his die-hard fan 'Ji Huifu' asked: "How much is the total box office prediction?"
β... Between 450 million ~ 600 million, we originally predicted 3~500 million, but now the situation is completely reversed to the good side..."
"Some people also say that "The Great Wall" is plagiarized from "The Two Towers", and the battlefield scene is plagiarized from "The Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet"..."
β... Our consultant is Peter Jackson, who has contributed a lot to the close-ups of our war scenes! As for the story plagiarism of "The Two Towers", it was Peter Jackson who intervened in the screenplay, after all, our special effects team has Weta Digital on board!"
"Why don't movie posters have characters?"
"It's a little annoying, this one has to stand in the C position, and that one has to be a big close-up, I simply asked the designer to delete all the characters, and I wrote a work directed by Shen Mengxi;
"Is Da Tiantian a capital group?"
β... I must clarify this, we didn't have many choices at that time, first, this girl's appearance must be in line with the heroic female general in the beauty; second, she must have many years of dancing skills; third, she must dare to fight with real guns; fourth, this girl must be good at English and be able to communicate well with the male protagonist; fifth, this girl must devote herself to this one job and complete this movie during the preparation, training, and filming period; sixth, she cannot have plastic surgery... The sixth point is my own requirement, the heroine of the movie I make can't be a plastic face! If the actor's acting skills are not good, they can be taught, but if the character is not good, then there is no way!"
"Does Da Tiantian have any background?"
β... I don't know, I don't care about any of that!"
......
Okay, let's move on to the next movie!
The film market pays attention to winner-takes-all, and the probability of a win-win situation is quite small.
Especially when phenomenal movies were gaining momentum, Shen Mengxi pretended to be forced back then, "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" played well, and he had to release "Twenty Years Old Again" at Christmas...
Although it barely won "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" last year, if you change the schedule, "Twenty Years Old Again" is sure to achieve 500 million!
Yes, the market has expanded, and 18,000 screens can theoretically accommodate two or three movies to explode together...
But that's just in theory!
Two days after the release of "The Great Wall", the accumulated energy burst out in an all-round way, not only at the box office, but also in public opinion, discussion, and even many people are talking about "The Great Wall" in their daily communication...
Under the deliberate guidance, a bunch of people cared about the box office of "The Great Wall"...
Coupled with the rhythm of Maoyan and Mengxi Media, the term spiritual shareholder was invented.
ββRecently, "The Great Wall" has exploded, and a new phenomenon has gradually emerged, more and more people are paying attention to or predicting the box office of "The Great Wall", and a new word 'spiritual shareholder' was born...
Following the 10th, 150 million;
No. 11, 140 million;
on the 12th, take another 140 million;
On the 13th, 130 million in a single day...
The next weekend came, not only the next weekend, but also the first part of the famous and rich second-generation trilogy "Tianji Fuchun Mountain Residence"!
Premiere...
Yang Xiaomi was very reluctant to come over to participate, and Andy Lau also came...
No matter how reluctant you are, you took the money!
And there is a line around Yang Xiaomi's promotion of this movie - "Fuchun" released a sensory special, and Yang Xiaomi's "heavy taste" shots were exposed;
Of course, as an audience who watched the movie "Fuchun Mountain Residence" in advance, and also watched "The Great Wall", when Yang Xiaomi answered reporters' questions, she was very so...
"I've always wanted to cooperate with Brother Hua, so this is an opportunity, so I agreed to the invitation..."
