Chapter 103 Annual Box Office Champion
With the release of the last heavyweight movie "Seven Swords" in the summer file, the 2005 summer file is coming to an end.

This wuxia film, which is joined by stars such as Li Ming, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Donnie Yen, an action star of Xiangjiang, and Lu Yi, one of the four great students, has replaced "Horror Cruise" and become the most popular among the media and movie fans. .

If it weren't for "Cruise of Horror" which was about to become the box office champion of the year, and the news of Tang An's new film, it is estimated that news about "Cruise of Horror" could only be found in a corner.

Just like the previous "Initial D", the popularity level before its release was no lower than that of the previous "Horror Cruise".

But as soon as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was released and took away the box office crown, the attention immediately fell by half.

After "Horror Cruise" was released, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was ignored.

The current "Seven Swords" is the same. The martial arts films directed by Xu Ke are still very popular, although the leading actor is no longer Li Lianjie.

In the end, "Seven Swords" won a box office of 82 at the zero point, ranking second at the zero point box office of the year.

The first is the 109 million record created by "Terror Cruise", with a difference of nearly 30.

On the 29th, "Horror Cruise" handed in a score of 166 million, and the trend is still stable.

"Seven Swords" was defeated in the first battle, but this was also expected.

Compared with "Horror Movie" at the zero-point box office?
Who goes to watch martial arts movies about fighting and killing in the middle of the night, eat too much!
Except for some tabloids that began to compare the box office of the zero-point show and bad-mouth "Seven Swords", most of them are waiting for the first-day box office to be released, and "Terror Cruise" to face "Seven Swords" at the first-day box office.

In the early morning of Friday the 30th, the box office of the two films was released simultaneously.

"Seven Swords" 778 million!
"Terror Cruise" 121 million.

"Seven Swords" created the first-day box office record in 2005!

Another round of media carnival, the media is the happiest at this time.

Then it was no surprise that most of the media praised "Seven Swords" and sought after Xu Ke.

According to the media, "Seven Swords" became the best blockbuster of the year.

Xu Ke became a super director, and the title of director with a box office of [-] million yuan was placed on his head again.

And the horror cruise ship, which is still going strong, has naturally become the object of comparison by the media. Comparing from all aspects, the result is of course a complete failure.

"Seven Swords", which set a box office record on the first day, continued to earn 821 million on the second day of its release, not only breaking through the 800 million mark, but also only one step away from the annual single-day box office record set by "Terror Cruise".

As for whether "Seven Swords" can break the record, everyone is extremely certain and has no doubts at all.

On the third day of the film's release, the first rest day, "Seven Swords" sat on the throne of the annual single-day box office record as it wished, and ousted "Terror Cruise" from the stage.

834 million!
Although the increase compared to Friday is almost negligible, the box office of "Cruise of Horror" fell again by 27% on Saturday to 165 million, but it was automatically ignored by the media.

On Sunday, August 8st, word of mouth of "Seven Swords", which was released for three days, has spread.

However, most of the comments are negative, and fans are obviously not satisfied with Xu Ke's disgusting work.

The negative reviews were finally reflected in the box office. "Seven Swords" only got 742 million box office this Sunday, which was lower than the first day of release.

And "Horror Cruise" still got 146 million box office.Relying on the good reputation of the audience, it is still slowly harvesting the box office.

The media is still pretending to be deaf and dumb, ignoring the good trend of "Horror Cruise".

Anyway, after blowing for more than half a month, it is meaningless to continue blowing.

After doing a simple math addition in elementary school, the media were pleasantly surprised to find that "Seven Swords" earned 3125 million box office in the first four days of the weekend, 3117 more than the 8 million of "Horror Cruise"!
What else to say, hold it, hold it hard!
"Summer blockbuster hits, director Xu Ke brings Li Ming and Yen Zidan seven swords down Tianshan Mountain, sweeping the summer block!"

"Heavenly King Li Ming, kung fu superstar Donnie Yen, and talented director Xu Ke, together present the best martial arts film of the year. "Seven Swords" has a box office of 4 million in 3125 days!"

"The record for the opening of an annual drawing has been broken, and "Seven Swords" has surpassed "Terror Cruise" in all aspects!"

"The box office of "Seven Swords" is very hot, and it is hard to find a ticket in major cities during the prime time period!"

"The [-] million yuan club will add new members, Xu Ke has fought hard for four years and will finally become a masterpiece!"

It was a joy to brag about it, and I used what I said about Tang An to Xu Ke again.

It is said that being a reporter is sometimes quite simple. If you use a press release several times, it is estimated that you will continue to use it next year.

However, everyone in the industry knows that "Seven Swords" is like this. On the fourth day of its release, which was still on Sunday, the drop reached 12%.

At the beginning, the decline of "Terror Cruise" was only 5%.

Tang An has been writing scripts at home for the past few days, and he no longer goes to road shows with the crew, basically it is unnecessary!
Sometimes when I get bored at home, I go to the studio to sit, and at night, I go to Xu Manyun's house to eat.

In four or five days, Tang An refined the entire script again.

There are almost ideal candidates for several main roles, and some fine-tuning has been made according to the characteristics of the actors compared with the original work.

As for the actor's unwillingness to come?

nonexistent!

I rubbed my sore right hand, holding the pen for a long time, my hand was really uncomfortable.

I took the script to Xu Manyun's office and asked her to print it out on A4 paper.

"It's enough to make three copies. You don't need too much. You can make more copies when you need it. It's not good to leak it if it's dropped!"

Keep a draft and a typed draft for yourself, one for the heroine, and one for Chen Daoming.

Xu Manyun took Tang An's manuscript, tapped the keyboard quickly, and said while typing, "Do you really want to shoot the story of this superwoman?"

Tang An leaned back on the chair and rubbed his wrists, "Otherwise, the script has been refined three times!"

Xu Manyun opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

"It's only 3000 million. Even if I lose everything, I can still earn it back. Even if I lose this movie, as long as I say I want to continue making horror movies, a lot of people will wave money and invite me to come over!" Tang An knew what she was worried about. , smiled and said boldly.

"Earn 3000 million more in one year, at worst, it will take another year to earn it back!"

"Of course I believe you, as long as you know it in your heart!" Xu Manyun sighed secretly.

How could he not believe that Tang An could earn another 3000 million, but he had seen too many geniuses suddenly rise up, and after encountering setbacks, he quickly became indifferent to everyone.

Tang An was preparing a new movie, and Xu Ke led the crew all over the country, trying to save the poor reputation.

However, all was in vain.

On August 8, the box office of "Seven Swords" plummeted by 2%, and only won 60 million.

It seems that the trend of "Terror Cruise" is similar, but this is a blockbuster costume movie, which has a natural advantage in the audience, and the base is there.

On the 3rd, "Seven Swords" continued to fall, barely reaching 200 million, a drop of up to 30%.

In the next three working days, it stabilized its momentum and won more than 3 million box office without any risk.

The trend of "Terror Cruise" is still as stable as a dog, with an average daily box office of about 120 million.

In the third week of "Seven Swords"'s release, after a brief rise over the weekend, the box office was only a little over 100 million.

"Horror Cruise" also just stopped at the critical point of 100 million, and the two returned to the same level.

But "Horror Cruise" has been released for almost a month, which is enough to show the horror!
At this time, the media who had already praised Xu Ke and "Seven Swords" suddenly changed their direction and began to criticize "Seven Swords" as a bad movie.

The common routine of the media is to lift you up to the sky first, then you will be thrown even harder, and then you will be slapped hard and slapped in the face!

In the end, it was the Seven Swords released later that broke the million mark first, and "Horror Cruise" was postponed for two days.

After a long screening, "Horror Cruise" was fully released on August 8, and the total box office broke through the 22 million mark, reaching 8000 million!
And "Seven Swords" was also released a week later, with a total box office of only 6638 million.

"Horror Cruise" won the 2005 summer box office champion, and it is also the annual box office champion.

Tang An also won his first box office champion of the year, one step closer to being a "big director"!
