Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 143: No. in Film Box Office History [Subscribe]

Time turns.

On the morning of February 2th in Beijing, Li Wenyu boarded a flight to Berlin with Megan Fox and a bodyguard assistant.

This is the eighth week that (Extreme Job) has been released in mainland China. The data for the first six weeks was 3900 million, and the data for the seventh week was more than 3600 million.

The total box office in mainland China has accumulated 3.39 million!
You have to know that Hero and Kung Fu basically took ten or eleven weeks to reach such a high level. The total box office of "Extreme Job" is only 800 million away from "Kung Fu", which ranks third in the total box office of film history.

It is only 3.6 million away from the 2100 ​​million record of "Titanic".

At the same time, "Extreme Escape" starring Li Jiaxin and Wu Jing just entered its fourth week of screening this Monday, with a cumulative box office of 7900 million in the mainland.

The data for Harbour City is also very good.

After entering the first-class cabin and taking her seat, Megan said with an excited smile, "Boss, are you really taking me with you? Is my small role considered female number four or five?"

"I never dreamed of being on the Berlin red carpet. Why don't you bring your wife along?"

This year's Berlin International Film Festival opened a few days ago on the 5th.

Although there is still a week before the closing ceremony and the awarding of the grand prize, it is Gong Li who is in charge after all, so there is a high probability that he will win the Golden Bear Award for Best Film.

There is also the double-yolk Silver Bear Award for Best Director.

Li Wenyu left quite late today, as it was not only Gong Li who was in Berlin running around to build relationships and support the event.

Zhang Guorong flew over the day before yesterday to help with the networking, including being present during the screening of "Blue Jasmine".

Blue Jasmine is also a big hit because of Gong Li's reputation and will be screened multiple times over several days.

Li Wenyu shook his head. "She's at home managing the company for me. I brought you there to experience the atmosphere in advance."

Old Li had already told Pang Bing and Li Jiaxin that it would be unsafe without them.

If outside capital wants to take over Weibo, they will use all kinds of unscrupulous and dirty tricks.

Just then, a figure walked into the first-class cabin. Seeing Lao Li, he greeted him with a sweet smile, "Director Li, I know you're on this flight, so I came with you to broaden your horizons."

This is wearing a mask. I haven’t seen Jeon Ji-hyun for more than a month.

Megan, who was happy and excited, suddenly frowned, gave Quan Zhixian a blank look, stood up with her head down and changed seats.

Her ticket was for a seat next to Lao Li, and the bodyguard assistant was in economy class.

But she is also in the second semester of her freshman year at Beijing Film Academy, and knows a lot of news that is not secret.

Quan Zhixian happily hugged Megan and put her face close to hers through the mask, then walked over to sit next to Li Wenyu. "I started the roadshow on January 1rd and ran all the way to the day before yesterday, with only two breaks in between."

"340 million RMB income, so happy."

Roadshows in mainland China often involve running for one day and resting for one day, while a two-month marathon actually involves running for a whole month.

But at this stage the number of cinemas is still limited.

Running too often doesn't help much.

When you run, Star, Malaysia, Thailand, and Island Korea? Then flying back and forth is too frequent.

Of course, it is impossible for this kind of roadshow to be held six or seven times in one city in one day.

When Xiaoquan sat down and hugged Lao Li's arm for comfort, he was speechless and said, "Isn't the red envelope I gave you enough to make you happy? You're running so fast."

"Extreme Job" is wholly owned by Time Media. It has been withdrawn from theaters in Hong Kong and Macau Bay, and its total box office in China has reached 5.41 million yuan.

The United States also placed an order a long time ago, and the final result was 7300 million US dollars, which is more than 1.28 million US dollars more than Heroes and 5500 million US dollars less than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's million US dollars.

South Korea also placed an order, and the final amount was HK$3.68 million!
It's terrifying, but this is only 4717 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 786 million moviegoers.

The original "Extreme Job" had 2019 million viewers in 1626.

According to the original trajectory, in 2005, a South Korean movie "The King and the Clown" attracted 1230 million viewers, and in 2004, "Taegukgi" attracted 1174 million viewers.

In 2003, Silmido had 1108 million viewers in South Korea, and in 2001, A Friend had 813 million viewers.

With Jeon Ji-hyun as the leading female role and many Chinese celebrities as the main creators, the box office of 3.68 million can only be said to be pretty good.

Of course, it can also be said to be very strong. Extreme Occupation is now ranked third in the South Korean movie box office rankings!
Time Media can get 3.68% of the 36 million yuan after tax, which is a commission!
Shi Guang can generate a gross income of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

As for Europe, the island countries, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, etc., they had already been sold out, and the results were released one after another. Li Wenyu was too lazy to pay attention to them.

At most, a final data will be compiled after a few months and hung on the medal wall of time.

Of course, this will go down in the history of Chinese-language films.

Jeon Ji-hyun quickly switched to Korean and whispered, "What you gave me always felt like money for a girlfriend. I'll just give it back to you. The flight is so long, I'll hold you and have a good rest."

"When you're feeling better, I'll help you return from Jiangling in one day. Sister Bingbing booked the ticket for me so you don't miss home when you get to Berlin."

"It's so good now! I earn the highest salary in the South Korean entertainment industry, and IHQ's commission has been reduced to 20%."

"I'm 80% sure, the only one in the Peninsula Entertainment Circle!"

"Do you know how much my salary has increased? 300 million RMB per film. 300 million RMB, double what the most expensive movie stars make."

As she spoke, Quan Zhixian became so excited that she didn't want to rest anymore.

The only thing that leaves her speechless is that there are so many South Korean actresses who want to imitate her rise to fame that it’s simply too numerous to count.

She had heard that many younger people were thinking of applying to the Beijing Film Academy like Megan Fox.

Old Li, “…”

How can he complain about the magical Peninsula entertainment industry?

Did Pang Bing help Xiao Xian book the tickets? Pang Bing was so considerate when she finally had a little vacation. How virtuous.

…………

On the evening of February 2th, Berlin time, when Li Wenyu represented the Blue Jasmine crew and went on stage twice to receive the Golden Bear Award and the Silver Bear Award and delivered his acceptance speech.

These scenes have been photographed and recorded by a large number of people.

By the time Lao Li and his team were celebrating, the news had already spread back to the Chinese Internet, causing a huge sensation across the entire network.

Li Wenyu is the fifth person to win the Golden Bear Award for Best Film.

The Silver Bear for Best Director was a double yolk.

But this does not prevent him from being the first mainland director to win the Silver Bear Award for Best Director!
The first two are from Harbour City.

Gong Li voluntarily gave up the double-yolk Best Actress trophy to allow another person to win the Best Actress award, which made Lao Li's Best Director Award more certain.

The original trajectory of this year's Best Actress was to have two winners, but Gong Li joined and defeated another winner who was sharing the Best Actress award with Charlize Theron.

It's impossible to award a triple yolk egg, it's too watery.

It was only at the end of the discussion that one Silver Bear for Best Actress and two Silver Bears for Director were awarded.

Lao Li flew back to the mainland with his team, and this wave of celebrations was still sweeping across the country. For example, mainland movie fans continued to go to the cinema to re-watch "Extreme Job".

These are all alternative supports for him as an award-gatherer.

Fat Bing still showed up on the way to the airport just in time. Seeing him, he excitedly exclaimed, "Extreme Job" grossed 3300 million in its ninth week, easily breaking the record of 3.72 million and tying the record of "Hero."

"Now, in this tenth week, because you won the grand prize, it has stimulated another wave of fans. Our total box office chart in mainland China is number one in film history!!"

"I think if it plays for another two weeks, it will definitely break 4 million in mainland China!" "Infernal Affairs 2's Valentine's Day re-release didn't do much at the box office, but Huang Xiaoming has already made an agreement with Media Asia that he will start roadshows after the release of Extreme Job."

"Adding the postponement of two to three months, we can accumulate more data."

It doesn't matter how much more box office revenue there is than Hero.

The title of number one in mainland film history is even more exciting!

On the one hand, I am winning the world's top prize, and on the other hand, I am breaking the record for making money. It's so exciting.

Now it's not just "Extreme Occupation" that's slashing box office sales. "Extreme Escape" has entered its fifth week of screening, with 1.11 million yuan in mainland China and 1.22 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong and Macau combined.

This is also 2.33 million nationwide, which means that Li Jiaxin also contributed to the big box office this time.

She went to Harbour City for several roadshows and did radio gymnastics there.

In addition, after Li Jiaxin's most beautiful and gorgeous gymnastics video was widely viewed and downloaded on the entire Internet, many schools have planned to use this video of Ah Xin as an orthodox teaching material.

100% directing ability shows talent.

This is the most beautiful blockbuster that turns the most beautiful Ah Xin into the most beautiful one.

The gymnastics I perform are also at the provincial professional level!

If this becomes a gymnastics teaching material in many schools, I can’t imagine how many people born in the 85s or even the 90s will be fans of Ah Xin.

This kind of spread may be thicker than the invincible blood bar created by Liu Yifei in Tianlong, Chinese Paladin and Divine Sculpture!
Not to mention that Ah Xin also has the support of "Star You".

…………

On the morning of February 2th, 19: Beijing time.

Li Wenyu finally got over the jet lag when he stood in the courtyard again to practice boxing. That’s not right, he didn’t feel any jet lag discomfort.

It takes a week to walk around, and Pang Bing, Axin, and Da Meiyu in the courtyard all need to sort out the broadband traffic.

The flight took off after the 15th, and it is reasonable to sort it out today.

The current Blue Jasmine project depends entirely on how Columbia arranges its release in the United States and its impact on the 2005 Golden Globe Awards and Oscars for television films.

Asian cinemas also need to find a suitable release date.

This New Year atmosphere has only come to an end now, and the film project completed in 03 is still in the final stages of its glory.

After he finished two sets of boxing and went to have tea, he noticed that his phone was in silent and non-vibrate mode, but from time to time it was receiving text message reminders.

Li Wenyu was arrested. The news that just arrived was from Xiao Yang, "Brother, the (Goblin) project can be filmed at any time, just waiting for your order."

"Also, thank you, Senior Brother, for the big red envelope. Now I can settle down and start a family in the capital."

"Extreme Escape" also had a box office of over 1 million yuan in mainland China, and has long been among the top ten in film history.

Xiao Yang was a tool man, doing a lot of hard work and taking photos by rote, but Li Wenyu still gave him a red envelope of one million when the sales exceeded 100 million.

This is in addition to the director's salary.

Old Li recalled that a month and a half had passed since he last scared Liu Shishi, and finally typed a reply, "I'll review Xiao Liu and Xiao Jiang's acting skills again. If they pass, we'll start work in February."

Finish this and scroll up again.

He soon discovered speechlessly that the message sent by Azhi was about the Hong Kong movie "Dark Glory" starring Zhang Bozhi, Yang Di, Guo Zhenni, Re Yizha and others.

There are 16 episodes in total, and Fei Jing has already filmed ten episodes.

Fei Jing told Azhi that he felt he had tried his best to shoot the film, but it was still so fast, so he wanted to ask Lao Li to check whether it was up to standard.

If you want to review it, please send us the first ten edited episodes as soon as possible.

Old Li clicked his tongue in amazement. Fei Jing was really a quick shooter. Not to mention how fast he could shoot movies, for example, the filming of "Eight Heroes" which was originally scheduled to be 40 episodes started in October 04.

It premiered on TV on January 2005, 1.

From the start of filming to the broadcast on TV, in addition to the shooting time, there is also post-production editing, dubbing, special effects, etc., and then negotiating the price of the film with the TV station.

The Eight Heroes is still a martial arts drama with a good reputation.

The filming of Fei Jing's The Best Under Heaven took two and a half months from the start to the completion.

Not to mention Dark Glory, he got the script in mid-October, and on December 10th he completed all the preparations for costumes, props, shooting locations, etc., and then asked Lao Li to choose the actors!
Li Wenyu thought about it and called Azhi.

After the call was connected, Azhi first called out "Brother Yu". After getting a response and confirming that it was him, he complained, "You're really strong. You haven't left the house for more than 50 hours, right? Don't be a useless dog next time I see you."

"By the way, I also bought a courtyard house near your house. It only has one entrance, so it's not too close, nor too far. I'll go visit Fat Bing after I finish filming."

Old Li, “…”

Could it be that all the courtyard houses in this northern part of the city have been bought up by those in the know? Never mind, I decided not to dwell on it.

He coughed and said, "Ask Ajing to send the first ten episodes of the sample film. I'll review it. If everything goes well, we can ask the South Korean TV station to watch the sample film."

"In order to bundle and sell Samsung mobile phones, laptops and color TVs, Lee Jae-yong was willing to pay a high price and act as a shill."

Ah Zhi said happily, "If I sell it at the same price as You Who Came From the Stars, 150 million per episode, then 16 episodes would still be 2400 million."

"If its price catches up with "You Who Came From the Stars," it'll be a hit before it even airs, and it'll probably cause a minor sensation in East and Southeast Asia."

"It's just that our crew didn't seem to have done much publicity. Unlike "My Star" where the release of the final photos attracted countless netizens' attention and curiosity."

Li Wenyu was speechless.

The publicity and promotion direction of Dark Glory is really low-key, and countless netizens are still unaware of the existence of this project.

From the beginning of the year to now, a series of major actions have been promoted and attracted attention.

"That's fine. Price is the best publicity. At worst, it'll be the first show in South Korea. Once the big price and high ratings come out, the hype will be the best publicity."

After talking about this and chatting briefly for a few minutes, Lao Li was about to hang up the phone.

Zhang Bozhi suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, Brother Yu, do you still remember Director Wu Yusen? His new film, Memento Mortis, opens in the US on December 12th, a day after The Job."

"Director Xu Ke said at the time that this was an opportunity for Old Wu to prove himself, which made me laugh to death. Even now, Memory Rift has grossed $3800 million in the US."

"Just halfway through surpassing the limit of the profession, Director Wu failed miserably. I've teased Director Wang many times, asking him how long it would take to pay off the 600 million RMB in Windtalkers. He must have lost a lot this time."

Old Li was speechless.

The original trajectory of Wu Baige's memory crack must have resulted in a loss, the amount was not that large.

That's true. This period was originally dominated by the biggest blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings 3", which grossed 11.42 billion US dollars worldwide.

Plus two other comedy films that also grossed over 100 million US dollars in the United States.

The Extreme Pro's US$7300 million result is definitely the result of being suppressed.

The crack in the memory was suppressed even deeper and more fiercely.

Didn’t you see that Infernal Affairs 2 was withdrawn from the mainland once, and its box office was still sluggish when it was released for the second time on Valentine’s Day?

Li Wenyu laughed. "3800 million US dollars in the US, and a maximum of 3000 to million worldwide. The box office revenue returned to the producers is a loss of million US dollars, more than million RMB, compared to the production costs."

"I still say the same thing, if he doesn't have a script that's more than 70% complete, I won't invest easily."

The last time he saw Wu Baige was on December 12th.
