Chapter 942: Breaking the Billion-Dollar Mark in Three Days (Part )

The exaggerated 'first day box office' also sparked discussion along with film reviews all over the internet.

Say something.

There is indeed nothing wrong with such promotion after the pre-sale has just been re-launched.

After all, the entire industry does not have a unified understanding of this.

Therefore, when some people jumped out and took the lead in questioning whether the "premiere revenue exceeded 100 million" was just a gimmick, it also attracted support from many people.

But they overlooked the fact that February 2th was a Monday.

In other words, from 13:12 a.m. on the th to the next day, the performance report of "Time and Space" was completely satisfactory.

What if this happens on the weekend?
It is hard to say whether it will really surpass the actual premiere results of "Earthquake" and "Bullets Fly".

But the next day, the market gave the answer.

As theaters continue to increase their screening schedules, "Time and Space" grossed nearly 3500 million yuan on the second day after its release, including pre-sales on the same day!
This alarming upward trend
Compared to the high score of 9.2 it got when it was first released on Douban, the word-of-mouth reputation of the film completely wins this point, and the exaggerated box office growth trend seems to have been proven in some way.

It was supposed to be this successful.

"No wonder that foreigner was so confident in saying he would remake it."

After seeing the definite fact that "Time and Space", which occupied a large part of the film market's screening volume, could earn over 3 million yuan at the box office in days, some people came to their senses.

The premiere data from overseas was also quickly transmitted back to the country.

Although "Time and Space" did not have any gimmick of a global premiere, it relied on CJ and Co., Ltd., two major distribution companies in the Japanese and Korean film markets.

There is no problem in organizing a premiere of Monster House in East Asia.

根据韩国电影委员会统计数据，《时空》在2月14日情人节当天在该国院线568块银幕上映的上座率接近40%，观影人数达到9万。

And in neon.

Movies with pure love themes have always been popular among Japanese audiences.

Although "Time and Space" is not a conventional work adapted from a girl's comic or light novel, the characters are by no means centered around "women" as the main narrative.

But the familiar style and charming characters are still popular.

It even sparked heated discussions in the local community, making people think that it was a return to the time when the pioneer of pure love movies, "Crying Out Love in the Center of the World", became a popular work when it was released.

After all, this is a movie from China.

It is also expected to break the 10 billion yen mark (generally speaking, 10 billion yen is the standard for whether a movie is successful in Japan, while in Korea it is one million viewings).

The rights to the release of Hong Kong and Taiwan have long been sold to Emperor Entertainment Group.
"Xixi, congratulations, you're on the movie Damai." Early in the morning, Xiang Tai, who thought she had missed the opportunity to make money, called Liu Xixi.

It’s not surprising, but it’s not.

While "Time and Space" began to truly demonstrate its box office-earning capabilities both in the mainland and in Japan and South Korea, it was met with a cold reception in Hong Kong Island.

The premiere box office of over 300 million is still less than the first day box office of "Bullets Fly" in Hong Kong Island.

It is a generally accepted fact that popular movies from inland areas have a hard time doing well in Hong Kong Island, but the market here is not big to begin with, and the cost of publicity and promotion is high.

Apart from the boss who worked hard on publicity and promotion to curry favor with the cast, there was not a single main creator to cooperate.

But think about it.

With all the international celebrities attending the premiere in Beijing, who would take the time to go to Hong Kong Island for promotion?
That's putting the cart before the horse.

As for Taiwan, let alone it.

Since we haven’t even drawn the lottery yet, we still don’t know when the film will be released.

However, according to gossip, the Taiwan Film and Television Bureau will interfere, so it remains to be seen whether the film can be finally released.

But this kind of trouble is what he needs to be anxious about.

Neither Xiang Tai nor Liu Qianqian took this matter to heart.

It would be fine as long as "Time and Space" sells well in inland areas. The good news from the Japanese and Korean markets are just icing on the cake. The real big winners are in Europe and the United States.

"1200 million US dollars! Why don't you go rob the money!" Xiang Yang looked at Little John in astonishment while looking at the documents in his hand.

This guy is not doing this to do the accounting, preparing to run away with the bucket.
"Haha, Xiang, if I don't raise the price a bit, it would be unfair to our efforts." John Little was very proud. Regarding the cooperation between his company and 20th Century Fox, he said that he couldn't always do things for this Hollywood producer.

Besides, to be honest, Fox has a great advantage as the film is produced by a Hollywood studio.

If they spend a little more money, it will be included in the accounts in the end.

"You should think about why they are willing to pay this premium." Little John signaled his friend to pour him a cup of coffee before he was willing to tell the story.

"why?"

Xiangyang was used to his cocky look, but this incident really made him very happy.

In 2003, Warner Bros. acquired the rights to remake Infernal Affairs, which was highly praised by Hong Kong, for only US$175 million.

After so many years, the assets have become watered pigs.

The domestic film remake copyright has finally reached a new level.

This is certainly something to celebrate.

It’s just that I have to say that the Koreans are really lacking in this regard. After seeing that both the Hong Kong and American versions of "Infernal Affairs" were successful, they also made their own version.

It's called "New World".

As a result, not only did they not pay a penny in copyright fees for the remake, but they also boasted even more.

As for the version they later bought, it was a musical and the price was very affordable.

"Mr. Han and the others should be very happy." Xiang Yang asked with interest as he picked up a cup of coffee.

Today it was just him and Little John.

Liu Qianqian was on a roadshow and had no time to deal with him.

"I'm happy. They will also make a profit from this money." Little John clicked his tongue. Although he had already obtained the remake rights for sale.

However, regarding the cooperation on the remake, after paying a high price of 1200 million US dollars, 20th Century Fox intends to adopt a co-production approach similar to "The Karate Kid" to reduce its own cost pressure.

The only domestic companies qualified to participate in this co-production are the 'Big Three' that are related to Xiangyang.

Of course, Hermès Film Investment Company will not miss this tempting share.

Selling remake rights is one thing.

Investing together to earn more profit is another matter.

"Well, then you should communicate with them properly." Xiangyang took a sip of coffee and thought for a while.

As for which of the three companies, China Film, Bona Film Group and Guangguang Film Group, is willing to compete for market share, he will not get involved, but he personally still hopes that Bona and Guangguang Film Group can seize the opportunity.

"By the way, I have had some discussions with Director Zhang. I hope he can make a bold attempt for his next work. Do you know that?"

Since they were talking about seizing opportunities, Xiang Yang recalled his previous conversation with Zhang Mouzi.

During the two days I returned to China, we agreed to have a specific talk.

But the movie was released, the premiere and the busy road show were combined, plus there were too many guests.

There was not much time left for the two to communicate, and Xiangyang, who was about to return to Paris, simply decided to let Little John handle the matter.

"Well, your idea is very good. I have also consulted the relevant people in the United States. It is not easy." As Little John has transformed himself to be responsible for the film industry, he knows more about the difficulty of shooting a 'one-shot' short film than his friend in front of him.

In fact, he didn't even need to make a phone call. He could just grab Ridley Scott or Abbas Kiarostami at the premiere and ask them the answer.

Directors like Zhang Mouzi who are obsessed with shooting in one take are actually not uncommon in the entire circle.

Ever since Hitchcock perfectly demonstrated the value of long-shot shooting in film art through "Rope" in 1948 and won the recognition of the audience.

Countless directors have tried to use this shooting technique to showcase their talent in film art.

Because there is no other technique that can better maintain the integrity of the plot space and the real flow of time than a single shot.

This kind of coherent picture can better ensure that the audience enters into the story of the film.

In this regard, French film theorist André Bazin once gave a specific creative concept, which is also known as the "Bible" of long shots.

From an artistic point of view, John Little certainly hopes that his work can produce a good answer.

This is a very proud thing for Hermès Film Investment Company.

But face costs money.
He feels bad when it comes to spending money.

"Perhaps, you can use it as a blueprint and look for more cooperation?" Xiangyang gave an idea, reminding his friend not to forget what he is best at.

In China, the cost of having Zhang Mouzi shoot a 20-minute short film in one shot is definitely much cheaper than in Hollywood or France.

Not to mention the advantages of manpower.

The script alone is already available.

As long as reasonable changes are made and scheduling matters are arranged properly, it is entirely possible to form a filming team and make a bold attempt before the filming of "Blood Battle at Wenshankou" begins.

"What do you mean?" Little John was stunned.

"I mean, if you have trouble getting funding, you can try to sell the script for Blood Wars, or think long-term and package this one-shot short. Don't forget Cannes in May."

Forehead.
Little John blinked.

It’s not like I haven’t been to Cannes before.

What a big deal.

But, this is so tempting~
My heart is beating so happily.

"By the way, there is another matter that you should pay attention to. Regarding the MTV matter of Mr. Lafayette and his team, I think the lighting company will also like this idea. After all, the IP of the Minions is very popular in the American market."

As Xiangyang spoke, Little John swallowed again.

The Minions IP project is his most successful operation since he started "Shit".

It also established his position in the Hermès Group.

Since friends can continue to create heat for this IP, they are willing to sacrifice Karl Lagerfeld, Gaultier, Pirate Lord and
"Xiang, I will try my best to arrange the funds." Little John, whose head was already nodding, wanted to personally pour a cup of coffee for his friend to express his gratitude.

The more successful the Minions are, the brighter his future collaboration with Universal will be.

For him, the future is bright.

The profits generated from this are simply too great.

Just say that, when the time comes, by leveraging the resources of Universal and 20th Century Fox to release "50 Shades of Grey", wouldn't that be pure profit?
Indeed, communicating with good friends is much better than that JCE who can only hug his son and laugh foolishly but is unwilling to spend a penny.

These old guys always say that they are obsessed with Chinese culture.

Nonsense.

He doesn’t even know how to send red envelopes, what’s the point of being obsessed with this?
