Chapter 269 Not on the same level (the first update is complete!)
"Red Cliff" broke [-] million, the second domestic movie to break [-] million.

Although it was more than half a month later than expected, it was 2 million anyway, No. [-] in Chinese film history, and only two or two films with more than [-] million.

The celebration press conference will definitely be held, and Wu Bo can finally let go of the anger he has held back for two months.

Tang An and Wang Zhongjun sat under the stage, looking at the proud Wu Bo, Wu Yusen and other actors above.

Wu Bo talked about his feelings on the stage, how difficult it is for this [-] million-invested movie
However, when Tang An and Wang Zhongjun caught a glimpse of the audience by chance, their expressions changed indiscernibly.

1000 million was achieved, surpassing Zhang Yimou was also achieved, but Tang An came out halfway, and he broke [-] million almost a month faster than them, and the total box office was [-] million higher than them.

This makes the achievements of "Red Cliff" in China less worthy of showing off.

Even when the lineup and investment are stronger than the opponent's, they still lost!

But fortunately, the box office in Southeast Asia is relatively strong, much stronger than "Now You See Me".

"Our "Red Cliff" is not only a hit in the mainland, but also in the entire Southeast Asia region!"

"The box office of Xiangjiang is 2400 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking No.2008 of the best-selling Chinese-language film in Hong Kong in 2!"

"Malaysia's total box office is US$65, ranking No.5 in the year's top-grossing Chinese-language film."

"The total box office in Singapore is 190 million US dollars, ranking the No.2 best-selling Chinese film of the year!"

"Treasure Island's total box office is 550 million US dollars, ranking No.3 in the annual box office!"

"South Korea's total box office is 990 million."

Wu Bo read aloud the box office situation of each country in Southeast Asia, without exception, they all ranked among the top movies released in the same period, and in many countries, the box office of Chinese movies was second only to "Yangtze River No. [-]".

""Red Cliff" is currently released in more than 20 countries and regions around the world, and the total box office has reached 7000 million US dollars!"

Excluding Japanese Benzene and European and American box office, it has already reached 7000 million. Judging from this momentum, plus Japanese Benzene, it is very likely that the global box office will exceed [-] million US dollars.

The first half is 2.5 million, and the second half will not be bad. In addition, the international version will be released in Europe and America later, and the total box office may even reach [-] million!
Coupled with some other copyrights, the investment of 6 million yuan is enough to pay back.

These years, the box office in Southeast Asia is definitely a big one, and Xiangjiang Films basically relies on the Southeast Asian market to survive.

For example, Zhou Xingchi's "Yangtze River No. 2600" has a box office of over [-] million in the mainland, but it has earned [-] million US dollars in Southeast Asia, which is not much less than that in the mainland.

Not to mention the films of Cheng Long and Li Lian, "The King of Kung Fu" sold for 270 million US dollars in Malaysia alone, and nearly 4000 million US dollars in Southeast Asia. The outbreak in Southeast Asia earned nearly $1.3 million in box office worldwide.

The same is true for many low-budget films. Even if each country gets 30 million US dollars, the total will be 300 million US dollars.

However, in the past two years, Hong Kong movies can still be sold. In a few years, there will be a lot of Hollywood superhero movies and special effects blockbusters, and the old-fashioned Hong Kong movies will completely disappear.

If it cannot be sold in the mainland, it is completely dead.

A press conference lasted for nearly two hours. Han Sanping, Wu Bo, and Wu Yusen spoke one by one, and finally ended after 12 o'clock.

At the reception, they accepted everyone's congratulations, and the smiles on their faces never stopped, but when Tang An and Wang Zhongjun expressed their congratulations, they were a little embarrassed.

"Director Han, Congratulations to Director Wu for breaking [-] million at the box office."

"Director Wu, it's amazing that you can get [-] million box office when you come to the mainland to film for the first time."

There is no barb in the words, people of this level, it is not enough to satirize others face to face, it is too out of place.

"Director Tang is too polite."

Han Sanping regretted not being able to break [-] million during the summer vacation, but let's wait later, now he can finally devote all his energy to "The Founding of a Country".

Wu Bo dealt with it in a non-salty manner, and even used the overseas box office of "Now You See Me" as an example.

"It seems that Director Tang's film did not sell very well in Southeast Asia. It only sold for 800 million US dollars?"

Tang An was speechless. He didn't know where he got his sense of superiority. It's good that he didn't mock him.

Wang Zhongjun immediately laughed and said, "It's not as good as Wu Dong's "Red Cliff". After all, we only invested more than 1 million yuan, and there are no top stars. The overseas copyright sold for 1200 million US dollars is already very satisfied."

There was a needle in Wang Zhongjun's words, and it was obvious that you invested so much and hired so many celebrities, you also lost.

Wu Bo was choked back and couldn't refute.

Han Sanping immediately asked about the specific investment situation, and Wang Zhongjun told him the truth.

It will be listed next year, and most of the company's data will be made public, so you can find out when the time comes.

As for falsely reporting data, if it is found out by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the listing is affected, it will not be worth the loss.

"1.3 million, half for production and half for publicity."

With a production fee of 7000 million and a publicity fee of 6000 million, there is no such ratio in the entire mainland film market!
Although he expected that their publicity fee would not be low, he was still moved by the 1:1 ratio, which is already a standard Hollywood production and publicity cost ratio.

Twice the publicity fee of "Red Cliff", it seems that the loss is not wronged!
The five people were chatting and laughing there, and the atmosphere was not bad, but there were thorns in the conversation between Wang Zhongjun and Wu Bo, Tang An didn't participate, and just ate melons from the sidelines.

"By the way, Director Han, what are you going to release for the second half?" Tang An suddenly asked again.

"At the beginning of January, it will be released after New Year's Day."

It was originally expected to be released in the summer of 09, but it lost to Tang An this year, and there is a high probability that it will lose again next year, so it has to be moved up, which is also impossible.

"Yangtze River No. 2" can get 3 million box office when it is released at the end of January. With enough film schedules and no rivals, Han Sanping and Wu Bo believe that they can still win [-] million box office.

"That's coming soon. The second half should be mostly war scenes. I'm looking forward to seeing it soon." Tang An said politely.

"Then Director Tang will be welcome then." Wu Yusen said with a smile.

Although losing to Tang An made the success of "Red Cliff" somewhat imperfect, Wu Yusen's focus was not in the mainland.

Now that overseas box office is successful, as long as North America can meet expectations, not to mention "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", as long as it has a box office of 6000 to [-] million US dollars like "King of Kung Fu", he can take this opportunity to return to Hollywood. in the company's sights.

Even if you can't make an A-level big production right away, it is enough to start with a medium cost.

In his opinion, Tang An's structure is in the mainland, and it is extremely difficult to enter Hollywood, let alone directing an A-level production with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is not on the same level as him.

At any rate, he is also a major director who has the right to produce and edit in Hollywood, and the entire Hollywood can count them on one hand.

But what Tang An was thinking about was the release of "On the Journey" during the Spring Festival, and he didn't know if it would hit it.
