Chapter 454 Breaking 40 Billion!
After all, the small schedule in November is not comparable to the Spring Festival or National Day, because after the two-day weekend, students have to go to school and office workers have to work.

So after breaking one billion on Saturday and Sunday, on the third day, the daily box office of "Infernal Affairs" began to be cut in half.

On the third day, the box office was 2.4 million.

But even if it is cut in half, this box office figure is still frighteningly high, because even during the Spring Festival, few movies can break through [-] million.

By the end of the first week, the movie had grossed 21 billion.

Another new record was broken, the fastest movie in China to break 20 billion, only took seven days!
It's hard to imagine what kind of crazy heights this movie would have reached if it had been released on National Day.But this is just a thought. After all, during the National Day this year, Wei Xun and Chi Tang were getting married, and "Infernal Affairs" couldn't be rushed into the National Day schedule at that time.

But the box office of 21 billion in a week still left many industry media dumbfounded.

Because the box office data is rising like crazy, even much faster than "The God of Medicine" at the beginning of the year.Obviously, compared to the miserable "The God of Medicine", stimulating commercial blockbusters like "Infernal Affairs" are more popular.

While the domestic media were excitedly reporting the terrifying box office of "Infernal Affairs" in its first week, feedback from Asian countries on "Infernal Affairs" was also sent back to China one after another.

Everyone was surprised or proud to find out that the word-of-mouth of this movie is surprisingly good!
And the box office is also very good in other countries.

""Infernal Affairs" has been praised by netizens from all over Asia. Chen Yongren, played by Wei Xun, has become a new generation of melancholy male god who is popular in Asia!"

"According to the financial report of the Medal, the foreign box office of "Infernal Affairs" reached 5 million in the first week!"

""Infernal Affairs" performed well at the box office in Thailand, ranking second in the box office of the movie in the same period. Thai netizens called on Wei Xun to hold a fan meeting!"

"Including foreign box office, "Infernal Affairs" hit 26 billion in its first week! From box office to influence, Wei Xun has undoubtedly stepped into the ranks of world-class directors!"

Simultaneously released in 48 countries in Asia, except for China, the box office was [-] million in the first week.

This statistic may seem inconspicuous, but if you look at the list of movie box office rankings in various Asian countries, you will find how difficult it is for the [-] million box office.

In this regard, some netizens in the newsletter have made popular science for everyone.

@zunmudaker:
"Infernal Affairs" was screened in 48 countries in Asia, and the foreign box office was 17153 million in the first week. It seems very small, but it is not.Let’s take South Korea as an example. Throughout last year, the total box office of movies in this country was 100 billion won, which is less than [-] billion Chinese won.And this [-] billion box office, Director Wei alone can surpass it this year.

This is still the top Korean film market in Asia, if you switch to other countries with poor economies, Director Wei can cover them all by himself.

Looking at the whole of Asia, apart from South Korea's relatively exclusive film culture, India relies on its population to support its local box office. In all other countries, at least half or even seven or eight films in the top ten domestic box office films are dominated by films produced by Hollywood.

Just like us nine years ago, the top box office of Chinese movies was firmly locked by "Blue Man". It is a reason why half of the top ten box office lists are Hollywood movies. Culture shock, corrupting the world.

But fortunately we have Wei Xun, whose commercial films have created miracles time and time again, directly head-to-head with imported Hollywood films.He took out the ticket subsidy policy, so that in just nine years, China's movie box office market has expanded from billions to tens of billions, and it has become the world's second largest box office granary.

Now look at the box office records of Chinese movies, and you will find that only two of the top ten are from Hollywood.And the movies that broke 30 billion came from Medal Media.In Asia, apart from Huaxia, no country can have such an impressive report card.

The [-] million box office was forcibly torn out by Director Wei under the situation of Hollywood dominating the world.Not to mention Huaxia, but looking at the whole of Asia, there are absolutely no more than five people who can achieve the achievement of a guard director.

Why Wei Xun has such a good reputation among film critics, why Wei Xun has so many fans and fans who like him, this is the answer.

He is really working hard for the future of Huaxia Film.

"Director Wei's position is so stable now, there must be some reasons for this. I remember that the film industry didn't like to see Director Wei before, and the academic circle seemed to have ridiculed him. But now, he is still standing firmly on the altar. steady."

"Seeing this data, what I want to say is that Hollywood is really scary and powerful. No wonder the older generation of filmmakers avoided imported films at that time. Come on Director Wei, come on Medal, I hope that Chinese movies will become more and more popular in the future It's better to come!"
