China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 137 Box office of literary films

Nortel's banner was hung up as usual. Although the banner was late, it was not absent.

Li Mu got all the details about the premiere of "The Intouchables" from Liu Yifei's phone call.

Now we are waiting for the box office on the first day, and the crew is also looking forward to it. Although it is a literary film, the box office is still worth looking forward to.

The biggest appeal of the movie is Li Mu. This is a fact.

Many viewers will go to the cinema when they hear the name of Director Li Mu.

At the end of May, "Spider-Man" was already on its last legs. After all, it had been released for almost a month.

That leaves only "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", but this one is already on its way to the street.

China Film and Korean Film Reviews are also waiting for the first-day box office data of Li Mu's film. There have been too many people criticizing him recently, and a domestic film is needed to take the pressure off.

On Monday, May 5, the box office was 28 million.

When Liu Yifei and others heard the news, they cheered happily.

"Continue to promote!" Liu Yifei waved her hand and directly made arrangements for everyone.

Shu Chang and others were smiling and full of energy.

The box office of this film is obviously much better than other literary and artistic films. If it doesn't work hard to promote it, I may not be popular in this life.

You must know that "Tuya's Marriage", which won the Golden Bear Award, only had a box office of several million.

However, some bad news has come out on the Internet. After all, netizens don't watch so much. The box office now is just over 500 million, which is far behind the 1500 million box office of "Spider-Man" on the first day.

There are quite a few pessimists. These days, foreign products are the best.

Even if "Spider-Man" is broadcast during the May Day holiday, even if the production cost is 2.5 million US dollars, it is useless if the logic is bad.

Anyway, now you just lose the box office.

"Why are these people like this?" Liu Yifei looked at the comments online and called Li Mu angrily.

"It's good to get used to it. There are always some people who can't hold their heads high." Li Mu is used to these things. No matter how you compete, you will lose.

People in the industry exclaimed, the box office results are really not bad, and this is Monday.

If there are still flights on weekends, maybe it will become even more popular as word of mouth ferments.

Ning Hao, who was far away in the West Desert filming "No Man's Land", also learned the news from Xing Aina.

"Oh my goodness! Director Li is no longer a human being." Huang Bo's dialect accent came to him instantly.

"How about someone else can be a world-famous director." Xu Zheng said casually, smoking a cigarette next to him.

"Continue shooting, hurry up." After Ning Hao heard the news, he was instantly motivated. The movie "No Man's Land" is not bad, and he might be able to do it too.

Li Mu stayed in Cannes for three days. The copyright dealers had finished meeting and it was time to leave.

This time, the news about Li Mu's return was not with Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei was tired from leading the team in the past few days and should take a rest.

After communicating with Luyu, he asked him to send a car from the company to pick him up at the airport.

The box office of "The Intouchables" on weekdays is basically around 500 million, which is very stable.

The reputation is getting higher day by day.

Many netizens commented: "Since watching "The Intouchables", all movie ratings this year have been reduced by 1 star."

There are many people who like and agree with it below.

The news of Li Mu's return to China could not be concealed at all, and he was stuck in the airport as soon as he got off the plane.

"Director Li, director Li, welcome back to China. What do you think of the box office of "The Intouchables"?"

"It's pretty good. Isn't it already over [-] million?"

"Director Li, netizens are not optimistic about the box office of "The Intouchables" and think it will not make money. Is there anything you want to say?"

"I don't know yet whether it's good at the box office. We'll know when it's finished. As for not making money, the film copyright was sold for more than 2800 million US dollars. I think it still made money." Li Mu said calmly.

The reporters were a little stunned. This number seemed a bit too much. If you calculate it, it would be more than 2 million yuan in copyright fees.

This is higher than the box office of some blockbusters. This number is not unknown, but it is shocking when you calculate it.

Many reporters have begun to turn to the issue of copyright fees, and no one cares about the box office.

The copyright fee gimmick is even more abundant.

"Li Mu bluntly stated that the box office will have to wait for the next film, and the copyright fee has already been sold for up to 2800 million US dollars!"

"With a copyright fee of close to 3000 million US dollars, Li Mu once again successfully proved that domestic literary and artistic films can also make a lot of money!"

The news came one after another, and people in the industry were a little greedy when they saw the copyright fee.

"If I had known it could sell so much, I would have invested some anyway." Han Sanping looked at the report and felt that he had been deceived by Li Mu.

What kind of low-cost literary film is more profitable than a blockbuster film? In the end, China Film Group earned a domestic distribution fee.

Feng Xiaogang was still in the post-production stage of "Assembly" and was stunned when he heard Li Mu's copyright fee, and then continued to stare at the post-production stage with an expressionless face.

It seemed that he had to win the prize. Thinking of his previous treatment, Feng Xiaogang secretly made up his mind.

Liu Yifei quickly learned the news about Li Mu's return from others.

She immediately pouted. After all, Li Mu didn't notify her when he came back, so she still found out about it from others.

When Shu Chang saw Liu Yifei like this, she immediately knew what was going on and was ready to count down the few minutes. According to her experience, she should call at this time.

Sure enough, Liu Yifei's phone rang soon.When several people saw Liu Yifei, they instantly became beaming and couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, she was still a little girl and very easy to coax.

Li Mu first returned to his villa to catch up on jet lag, and Li Xian's "Lust, Caution" has been officially announced to join the Venice Film Festival and will be the opening film.

A new wave has set off in the Chinese film industry. After all, Li Mu just won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes, and Li Yin also joined Venice.

Zhang Yimou was appointed chairman of the Venice Film Festival.

Chinese-language films have also received a lot of attention at home and abroad for a while.

Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" is still working hard to make up for the later stages, and also wants to compete in Venice to make up for the loss of missing Cannes.

This movie The King is so painful that I almost shed tears. All the disasters are not enough to describe the ups and downs of this movie.

June 6 is Saturday, and Li Mu and Liu Yifei are also waiting for this day. After all, how the box office will be depends on the first weekend.

As a result, the box office information was not available, but Huayi made the headlines first, with Li Binbin and Ren Quan renewing their contracts with Huayi.

It was once rumored that Li Binbin was going to leave Huayi and work on his own. Unexpectedly, Huayi succeeded in "melting" the ice in the end and retained Li Binbin.

I just don’t know how much Huayi paid behind this, but Li Mu estimates that it will be no less.

In this way, Zhou Xun and Li Binbin, the two competing sisters, have Huayi already given the answer?

"The Intouchables" grossed 1006 million at the box office on Saturday, making everyone cry wolf.

I originally thought it would only be more than 800 million, but I didn't expect it to exceed a thousand, which is twice as much as compared to working days.

It even almost broke the 1100 million box office mark on Sunday, with a box office of more than 4600 million in the first week, winning the first week box office championship of the schedule.

The media didn't take it too seriously to watch the excitement, so they took a look at Spider-Man's box office this week, and as soon as their heads turned, a hot topic was born.

"The literary film's first week sales exceeded 4600 million, killing Hollywood blockbusters "Spider-Man" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"!"

"Without a single enemy, Li Mu's literary film crushed "Spider-Man" at the box office in its first week!"

This headline is purely to attract attention. It wasn’t until the audience clicked in that they realized that the comparison was with the first week of "The Intouchables".

At this time, "Spider-Man" has been released for almost a month. At the end of the war, it will definitely be crushed by "The Untouchables".

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is normal. The first week's box office data was compared with the data of "The Intouchables" this week.

After all, the box office of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in its first week was less than 2000 million, so wouldn't it be a crushing success?

This is the art of Chinese language, and it speaks clearly and logically.

Readers cursed the headlines one after another, but the number of clicks on these reports was unexpectedly high.

Many people saw what was going on here.

Li Mu couldn't help but cover his face when he read the title. He himself blushed after reading the title.

No matter how awesome he is, he wouldn't compare it to literary films and "Spider-Man 3". That's not nonsense.

However, the publicity effect is still good. Everyone wants to see this kind of literary movie and massacre "Spider-Man 3".

Han Sanping is relieved now. The May schedule was too tight before, and finally a domestic film can save some face.

When he saw those headlines, even though he knew they were headline-grabbers, he couldn't help but want the media to post them more, so that they would look good.

Instead of Spider-Man 3 breaking this record and that record all day long, he was a little panicked when he saw it, and even more people scolded him online.

It is inevitable that the box office will drop in the second week, but it can still remain stable at more than 300 million a day on weekdays, so the decline is acceptable.

Basically, it only lasts for about two weeks. In the third week, pirated copies will basically come out, and the box office will plummet.

"Ah Mu, can our movie exceed [-] million?" Liu Yifei looked at the data and felt happy.

This is my first film as a producer, and it feels very different.

I can't wait to make the box office jump higher.

"It's a bit difficult." Li Mu did some calculations and shook his head.

"Ah" Liu Yifei suddenly became unhappy and swayed crazily in Li Mu's arms.

"Don't move!" Li Mu got really angry at being shaken and quickly stopped her.

Liu Yifei seemed to feel something, her little face suddenly became pink, and her face was buried in Li Mu's arms, motionless.

After a while, he leaned into Li Mu's ear and said, "Ah Mu, how about we go on a trip."

"Where to go?" Li Mu felt that the girl's little head seemed to be a little jumpy, why was she suddenly thinking about going on a trip.

"I want to go to the south of Caiyun." Liu Yifei's voice became sweeter and sweeter.

"Really?"

"Ok!"

Li Mu didn't hesitate at all. Anyway, I had a free period these days, so it was a good time to go and have some fun.

Later will be the premiere of "Ip Man". In recent times, Ip Man's life story has been dug up.

From time to time, it is posted on the portal website, and of course this is paid for publicity.

The Emperor takes this movie more seriously than Mengying Media. All kinds of promotions are intense. Donnie Yen even showed off several Wing Chun moves in major programs.

Let the audience enjoy it.
