Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 206 Unstoppable, topping the global weekly box office champion

Just when Fang Ziheng and the three of them entered the elevator and went upstairs with laughter.

Yu Dong, who was about to leave for the airport, also received a text message from a Bona employee in the United States.

370 million dollars!

The dazzling data shocked Yu Dong, he stood up and laughed loudly: "Okay, I am Bona!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

With a big wave of his hand, Yu Dong said to the assistant who was carrying the luggage that his mood, which had been up and down for many days, instantly eased up a lot.

The first-day box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is undoubtedly a booster for Bona.

We must know that "Edge of Tomorrow" only opened in 1900 movie theaters, and the number of films scheduled is only 15%.

The box office hit 370 million on the first day, which is enough to show that the theater's attendance rate is not bad.

These days, Yu Dong has been asking Bona's employees in the US to collect information about movies released around January in North America.

370 million US dollars may not seem like much, but the potential is endless. Twentieth Century Fox will definitely focus on promoting "Edge of Tomorrow" next.

As Yu Dong thought, Deng Wendi, who was far away in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California, made a move, and directly approached her husband Murdoch, and explained the opening of "Edge of Tomorrow" in detail.

As a media tycoon, Murdoch has a natural sense of movies. After watching the movie "Edge of Tomorrow", he immediately issued an order to strengthen the publicity.

When he got off work in the afternoon, Fang Ziheng received a second text message from Deng Wendi.

"Edge of Tomorrow" entered 1500 movie theaters again, and the number of screens increased from 3800 to 8000, more than doubling.

Not only that, but the number of films scheduled has also increased from 15% to 25%, an increase of 10 basic points.

Deng Wendi, this 'legendary woman' has done the best she can!
Tuesday, January 2011, 1.

"Edge of Tomorrow" set a new high, reaching a height of 6870 million, breaking the single-day highest box office record of 6600 million in "Four Famous Catchers".

The evening news of 25 satellite TVs launched at the same time, and the boost effect was extremely obvious, with 1700 million more box office than the first day of the show.

Wednesday, August 1rd.

On the third day after "Edge of Tomorrow" was released, the single-day box office was even more powerful, and once again hit more than 6950 million, only 50 to break the 7000 million limit.

After the box office data came out, the media and the film industry were completely crazy, and the entire entertainment circle was paying attention to this gluttonous feast.

Breaking 1.9 million in two days, 1000 million in three days, [-] million short of [-] million!
So terrifying!

Do you want to be so ruthless, do you want to be so tough!

"Edge of Tomorrow" is so amazing that there is no limit to it. Many people were shocked by this statistic and swallowed subconsciously.

They thought of the summer file, and thought of "Four Famous Catchers", and more than 20 satellite TVs also helped to launch a summer file champion.

Edge of Tomorrow!
No matter how you look at it, it is not weaker than "Four Famous Catchers"!
All of a sudden, the media's soft articles continued to spread the freshly released data to the Internet, shouting at the top of their voices.

In just one hour, news of "Edge of Tomorrow" broke records one after another, and it became the top search list on all major platforms.

Weibo even put the box office theme of the movie on top, and @方子恒 and other movie creators.

Audiences who have watched the movie, as well as everyone's movie fans and fans rushed over immediately, offering a bunch of rainbow farts.

The major film and television companies can't sit still.

In other words, when the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" came out on the first day, they were completely restless.

The first to bear the brunt were the two brothers, Huayi and Wang, and Feng Trousers who flew to Shenzhen to promote "If You Are the One 2".

Huayi Headquarters!

Holding a box office data sheet, Wang Zhongjun was in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

On the form in his hand, in addition to the box office of "Edge of Tomorrow", there are also data of several movies such as "If You Are the One" and "Let the Bullets Fly".

On the sofa opposite him, Wang Zhonglei gritted his teeth with a look of envy and jealousy: "Brother, Han Dong is taking care of Fang Ziheng too much, he is not so shameless.

25 satellite TV news outlets help to promote, how can others play with it, the promotion is not at the same level at all! "

In his opinion, without the support of satellite TV, it would be impossible for "Edge of Tomorrow" to reach such a high box office in the second and third days, and it would only exceed 4000 million yuan.

"Edge of Tomorrow" No. 3 can hit 5180 million, he can understand, after all, it is the last day of the New Year's Day holiday.

But during the two days between the 4th and 5th, what the hell are they just hanging out!

Hearing his younger brother's complaint, Wang Zhongjun came back to his senses, and sighed faintly: "Zhonglei, you should mobilize the company's resources to help Xiaogang, and you must stabilize the promotional position of "If You Are the One 2"."

"I see!"

Wang Zhonglei nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "Brother, do you want to make a mistake and find some sailors?"

"No, this kind of thing is easy to find out. Having said that, "Edge of Tomorrow" has completely risen, and some negative news in a short period of time can't shake it."

Wang Zhongjun waved his hand, stopping Wang Zhonglei's search idea.

On the other side, Yang Cheng, the boss of Hong Kong Island Yinghuang, was holding a data sheet, and his face was also full of disbelief.

The box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is too crazy. The single-day box office has approached 7000 million for two consecutive days, making the originally invincible "Let the Bullets Fly" become a green leaf.

Yang Cheng had previously planned to hold a grand celebration banquet after "Let the Bullet Points" break through 6 million in a few days.

Fortunately, due to the impact of the film schedule of "Edge of Tomorrow", "Let the Bullets Fly" stopped at 5.6 million.

The single-day box office has changed from tens of millions on the 2nd to 400 million, and the single-day box office revenue has decreased by 800 million.

The total box office broke through the difficulty of 6 million, which was greatly enhanced, and the hope became slim in an instant.

Ugh.
Yang Changcheng sighed, took out his phone and dialed Jiang Wen's cell phone, discussing how to stabilize "Let the Bullets Fly".

.........

1 month 6 number.

The box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" has dropped slightly, with a single daily receipt of 5300 million. The total box office in the 4 days of its release is as high as 2.43 million, with an average of over 6000 million per day.

Looking at the entire history of Chinese-language films, and counting imported overseas blockbusters, except for "Avatar", there is no film whose total box office has reached this figure.

Even "Avatar" created a box office of 2.26 million in five days, and it cannot compare with "Edge of Tomorrow" in terms of the number of movies watched.

However, "Avatar" was released in January 2010. It has been a year since now, and it is the first real-shooting 1D blockbuster.

"Edge of Tomorrow" breaks the record through publicity, which means that the victory is invincible.

Only when the total box office overwhelms "Avatar" can domestic films truly stand upright.

The domestic three consecutive guns, "Edge of Tomorrow" officially started the journey of box office harvest.

In the North American market, "Edge of Tomorrow" did not disappoint. After the first day of 370 million dollars, the box office doubled on the second day, reaching the 700 million dollar barrier in one fell swoop.

On the third day, he was not to be outdone, and took 760 million US dollars.

It was released in North America for three days, and the total box office came to 1830 million US dollars.

After the film is released for seven days and a weekend is completed, the North American film week box office rankings can be calculated.

When Deng Wendi called Yuanyang, he was overjoyed and filled with emotion.

She really didn't expect that a Chinese sci-fi movie could sell such a high box office without Lao Mouzi, Uncle Long, Brother Jie, and international superstars such as Gong Huang and Zhang Yinghou.

1830 million dollars!

This data caused quite a stir in the North American market.

On Twitter, many viewers who have watched the movie shared their feelings about watching the movie, and @friends they are familiar with.

Many movie tycoons also set their sights on "Edge of Tomorrow" on the day they got the data.

The most intuitive point is that Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corporation, personally met with Yu Dong. The two had lunch together and reached a cooperation intention.

News Corporation injected capital into Bona, and when Bona Films' overseas investment was entrusted, the two parties jointly took advantage of the time when "Edge of Tomorrow" was released to stabilize and increase Bona's stock.

In addition, Deng Wendi also promised Fang Ziheng that he will continue to increase efforts to promote "Edge of Tomorrow", and at least let the film enter the top three in the North American box office list.

Fang Ziheng said thank you. He could hear the excitement in Deng Wendi's words, and he also knew how much this "legendary woman" wanted to make a difference in [-]th Century Fox.

There was "Four Famous Arrests" earlier, which made Deng Wendi gain a firm foothold in the [-]th Century Fox Film Company.

After "Edge of Tomorrow", Deng Wendi may not be able to squeeze into Fox's core high-level sequence with this movie.

Of course, a mere vice president is not Deng Wendi's ultimate goal.

It is her ultimate ideal to enter the board of directors of [-]th Century Fox, take this opportunity to step into the core senior management of News Corporation, and become a legendary woman without quotation marks.

After two days of rest, the effect of satellite TV boost gradually faded.

Fang Ziheng set off again with the film's main creative team to start a new round of landing promotion.

On the plane from the imperial capital to the magical capital, Fang Ziheng, Liu Qianqian, and Da Tiantian sat together, chatting about gossip and fun in the circle.

"Have you heard? Zhang Yinghou's kung fu movie was shelved again. Director Wang Jiawei had a new idea and stopped shooting again."

Liu Qianqian looked around and said mysteriously.

When Da Tiantian heard this, he subconsciously covered his lips, and said in surprise: "Queen Zhang! Qianqian, how do you know?"

"I went back to my mother yesterday, and she happened to ask Chen Hong, Xu Fan, and Chen Ting, the wives of three great directors, to play mahjong."

"Sister Chen Hong is Director Chen's producer, she is very well informed."

Liu Qianqian squinted at Fang Ziheng, and said in a low voice.

"That's it!"

If Da Tiantian thought about it, he also took a look at Fang Ziheng, and said casually: "If you want to talk about Zhang Yingying, too, if you don't develop well in Hollywood, why do you have to go back to China at this time to take a time-consuming and labor-intensive kung fu movie."

"Yeah, I wasted the reputation I made in Hollywood a few years ago."

"If I were me, I would definitely not give up the Hollywood market. It is more stable to walk on two legs."

Liu Qianqian answered, and once again meowed at Director Fang.

The corners of Fang Ziheng's mouth turned up, allowing the two beauties to stir up the topic, but they just didn't answer.

He can see why Zhang Yingying's movie is on hold, why Wang Jiawei has a new idea, and what is not developing well in Hollywood.

Everything is a cover, and the thoughts of the two beauties are clear.

I feel that my little wings are hardened, and I have made great achievements. I can go a step further, break into the world, and break into Hollywood.

Especially Liu Qianqian, after learning that "Edge of Tomorrow" opened the North American market two days ago, she was both happy and worried about gains and losses.

Xiao Xiao’s thinking is very straightforward, he wants to step into Hollywood, but also worries that his reputation in the United States is not enough, and he is afraid that he will not get a good book if it is over.

If "Edge of Tomorrow" is really a global hit, she will definitely rise and become an international actress.

International actresses, of course, go to Hollywood to make a living.

The same is true for Da Tiantian, the idea at the beginning of his debut was to take the international route.

And different from the previous life, Da Tiantian currently also has two important supporting roles in "The Four Famous Catchers" and "Edge of Tomorrow".

Regardless of resume or acting skills, the foundation is better than the previous life.

She has already received the news that this year, Wanda Films will co-produce the blockbuster "The Great Wall", and she is the leading actress hand-picked.

Her and Liu Qianqian's paths overlap highly, one is a pioneer, and the other is just on the road.

The two chatted a few more words, and seeing that Fang Ziheng still ignored them, they became anxious immediately.

Liu Qianqian kicked him lightly, and said pitifully, "Director, can you tell us?"

"say what?"

"It's our chance and probability of breaking into Hollywood."

Da Tiantian blinked his eyes and also showed a cute and pleasant smile.

"Stop dreaming, you two have no chance!"

"why?"

The two beauties stared wide-eyed, their pink lips pursed, very unconvinced.

why?
Good question!
Of course, Hollywood doesn't want to see you, and doesn't want to see us Chinese actresses.

Fang Ziheng smiled.

He knew that if he didn't say that he was ugly and Yinmao today, the two girls would definitely not let him go.

Either way!

Brother, I will be a teacher for a while, and I will teach you about science again.

Thinking of this, Fang Ziheng sat up straight, his face became serious, and he asked Liu Qianqian and Da Tiantian, "You two just didn't understand that Zhang Yingying would rather come back to shoot a kung fu movie instead of developing in Hollywood, right?"

"Uh-huh.."

The two girls nodded their heads, looked at each other, and sat upright obediently, looking like a good student.

"That's because Zhang Yinghou can't get along in Hollywood anymore, so she has no choice but to return to China."

"Sissy, I told you before that Hollywood is not a paradise, not a holy place for movies. It is extremely xenophobic, and we Chinese people are extremely excluded."

Fang Ziheng made a quiet voice, his tone intensified a bit.

As early as when he was filming "Detective Chinatown", he talked with Liu Qianqian and advised her to focus on domestic affairs instead of thinking about what is there.

Hollywood does not welcome artists from other countries. Even if a movie breaks into Hollywood occasionally, it is difficult to gain a firm foothold.

Unless, like Uncle Long and Brother Jie, several movies in a row have sold well all over the world, with double harvests at the box office and DVD home theater, can you really get the approval of Hollywood capital and regard you as a cash cow.

"But.."

"It's nothing but, you two are not qualified in Hollywood now, whether it's acting skills or fame!"

Fang Ziheng poured a basin of cold water, which gave the two beauties a feeling of coolness and excitement.

After speaking, he closed his eyes, leaned back, and fell asleep.

Liu Qianqian and Da Tiantian were dumbfounded, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and hesitated to speak.

a long time.

The two encouraged each other and rebuilt the little sister's confidence.

"Sissy, it's okay, you already have two heroine movies released around the world, it will definitely be fine."

"Tian Tian and you too, don't be discouraged, we are still young, if we can't do it in one year, it will be two years, if we can't do it in two years, it will be five years, we will definitely break into Hollywood."

"Yes, we don't believe in this evil, we will definitely be able to break into Hollywood, come on!"

"come on!"

Fang Ziheng: "."

Slap me in the face and talk harshly to me, right?
January seven.

The box office for the fifth day of "Edge of Tomorrow" is out.

Still invincible, once again hit the box office of 5080 million.

再接着是7号、8号、9号三天,单日票房持续维持在4580万、4860万、4750万稳定数据。

The 8th and 9th are weekends, and the box office has experienced a slight reverse decline.

"Edge of Tomorrow" was released for seven days, with a total box office of 3.849 million in the first week.

The domestic entertainment media and people in the entertainment circle were all dumbfounded.

In seven days, "Edge of Tomorrow" was released wave after wave of movie-watching craze, even better than "Four Famous Catchers", completely recreating the phenomenon-level hot scenes of "Avatar" at the beginning.

More than 8000 million!

Who else!
People in the industry would like to shout aloud to express their excitement and aggrieved feelings.

Report after report was staged again, and the chief editors of major media urged their staff to announce the situation of "Edge of Tomorrow" to the world as soon as possible.

Just as there is constant hustle and bustle on the Internet, countless netizens and movie fans are discussing whether "Edge of Tomorrow" can break the total box office record of "Avatar", and the major film and television companies are focusing on the domestic market.

The time came unknowingly and it was noon on January 1.

The box office of the first seven days overseas was also quietly transmitted back to China.

"Edge of Tomorrow" has also blossomed everywhere in overseas markets, and has achieved commendable results.

Released in North America for seven days, the weekend box office reached as high as 4930 million U.S. dollars, topping the North American box office weekend rankings, beating all Hollywood movies in the same period.

Not only in North America, but also in the Asian and European markets.

In addition to the box office in other overseas regions, "Edge of Tomorrow" took the top spot in the weekly box office of the global film market in one fell swoop with an irresistible attitude!
Drip
Drip
A series of SMS ringtones, like reminders, sounded on the bosses of several Chinese-speaking film giants.

China Film Chairman's Office.

After lunch, Mr. Han leaned on the boss chair and fell asleep, still recalling the morning in his mind.

He and Chen Yu, several middle-level cadres in the distribution department, learned of the joy of "Edge of Tomorrow" at the box office in the first weekend.

The subordinates gave him thumbs up one after another, praised him for his precise vision, and led China Film to invest in a blockbuster movie.

咚咚
There was a quick knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Han Dong spoke clearly, and slowly opened his quiet and deep eyes.

The offices were pushed away, Chen Yu blushed, and strode in with a form.

"Han Dong, "Edge of Tomorrow" is out again!"

"What exploded again?"

Director Han was surprised, took the form and looked down.

Didn't it just explode in the morning? How else can it explode?
The moment he bowed his head, Han Dong was stunned.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, picked up the reading glasses on the table and put them on, and looked at the data on the form again.

Rows of dazzling data are listed on the snow-white A4 paper.

During the seven-day weekend in North America, "Edge of Tomorrow" raked in $4930 million!

What the hell!

Director Han was also excited, he stood up, stared at Chen Yu and asked with a trembling voice: "Is this data true?"

"It's absolutely true, Director Han, "Edge of Tomorrow" is a global hit, and it really won the global weekly box office champion!"
