Chapter 618 The Heavens of Sorrow and Joy! (The third update asks for subscription!)

At noon on July 7, at the Four Seasons Hotel not far from Hantang Media.

"Interstellar", which has not held a celebration conference for more than half a month since its release, finally held a celebration conference today after its box office exceeded 15 billion.

Many reporters, industry insiders and some fans came to the scene.

The box office of 15 billion is a figure that all filmmakers need to look up to. Tang An and his "Interstellar" once again attracted everyone's attention.

Although a celebration press conference was not grand, the scale was definitely not small.

The press conference went on in a regular manner, and there was nothing special about it.On the big screen, the grand occasion of hot movies in theaters all over the country was played.

Every day's box office figures scrolled across the screen, and finally settled on a 10-digit Arabic numeral.

Thanks to the country, thanks to Optoelectronics, thanks to the crew, and thanks to the audience.

Let’s talk about my thoughts, looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, I once again called out the goal of 20 billion.

Several actors interacted with the audience again, and the two-hour press conference came to an end.

In the banquet hall next door, Tang An entertained the insiders present.

After a few days, Wang Zhongjun and the three producers of "Tomb Raider Notes" had a lot more smiles on their faces.

It seems that they are quite satisfied with the data of 2.55 million in three days.

After all, it is not so easy to break [-] million in a single day. Even if there are several movies with a domestic box office that breaks [-] billion, how many films break [-] million in a single day?

In addition to Tang An's movies, there are "Transformers 3", then "Exquisite Ancient City", "Journey to Hong Kong", and "Journey to the West: Conquer the Devil".

Of the three series, the previous films are all super-best-selling movies, and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has Zhou Xingchi's super high box office appeal.

Even Cheng Long's Kung Fu comedy "Zodiac" failed to break the billion mark in a single day.

"Tomb Raider Notes" don't look at the 15 billion to the outside world, 2.55 million in the past three days, with an average of more than 8000 million data per day, they are already very satisfied.

Tang An walked up with a wine glass, clinked a glass with them, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, "Tomb Raiders Notes" has been successfully launched."

"Hehe, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning that Tang Dong's single chip is worth 15 billion."

"It is estimated that there is a great hope to break through 20 billion, which makes people unable to catch up."

Although the two sides are now rivals, it does not hinder their admiration for Tang An.

Only by facing the opponent squarely can we understand and defeat the opponent!

Seeing that they were full of confidence in "Tomb Raiders Notes", Tang An kindly reminded them.

"Based on the current trend of "Tomb Raiders Notes", it is hoped that it will exceed one billion, but then "Pacific Rim" will be released. This film is not so good at the North American box office, but when it was released, the two investors, Warner and Legend, were making trouble. After breaking up, Warner made a legend in the announcement, and Japanese benzene-style special shots and mechs are not popular in North America, so the box office failure is also reasonable.

However, the Japanese comic style is still very popular in China, and "Pacific Rim" is likely to be another hit. "

Tang An helped them analyze a lot, but obviously, they didn't listen.

Wang Zhongjun said disapprovingly, "Transformers is the most popular blockbuster mech movie in China. Director Tang's "Edge of Tomorrow" is still an exoskeleton mech. "Pacific Rim" cannot be sold in North America. I won't buy it either."

To put it bluntly, Tang An didn't expect them to believe it, so he didn't persuade them any more. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him that they didn't pay attention.

Tang An just didn't want to see a domestic film being killed by such a film that had no bright spots in conflict handling and plot rhythm except for special effects.

Even "Tomb Raiders Notes" is rubbish, but at least it is the rubbish of our own country.

However, the special effects of "Huantai" are really good. Although it is fake 3D, the cost of nearly [-] million US dollars was spent on production. There are no big-name stars, and the money is spent wisely.

As for the plot, it is estimated that the audience will not pay attention to it, it is almost enough, and the special effects are enough.

"Tang Dong attaches so much importance to "Pacific Rim", isn't he worried that it will affect the box office of "Wolf Warrior"?" Zhang Wei asked instead.

Tang An smiled and said, "The audiences of "Wolf Warrior" and "Pacific Rim" do not overlap, so I have nothing to worry about."

Now "Interstellar" basically doesn't need to invest much more publicity resources, just to use all its strength to promote "Wolf Warrior".

When it was released next week, "Tomb Raider Notes" was under the attack of two Hollywood blockbusters, and its reputation was almost rotten, which meant that "Wolf Warrior" had to face two Hollywood blockbusters.

The film "Vegetarian Chicken 6" only sold some money in the first two weeks, so it's not a worry.

Tang An said that "Pacific Rim" might be a big hit, and "Wolf Warrior" was released the next day, so he said he wasn't worried.

If it is really going to be a big hit, it will be released every other day, how can it not be worried.

Wang Zhongjun, Zhang Wei, and Ye Tuan also thought Tang An was joking and teased them.

Zhang Wei, who had kept a low profile for more than half a year before, couldn't help making publicity at this time because "Tomb Raiders Notes" had a good box office.

"Does Director Tang still think that the box office of "Wolf Warrior" can surpass that of "Tomb Raider Notes"?"

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is Zhou Xingchi's movie, and it was released under the control of Huayi. Ah Li only got the investment share through the acquisition of Cultural China. Although it broke one billion, it has nothing to do with Zhang Wei.

But "Tomb Raider Notes" was brought about by her alone with Huayi and Wanda. As long as the box office exceeds one billion, she will have the capital to fight Zhang Qiang.

Besides, Ah Li is discussing with Han Tang about the acquisition of UC, and plans to merge related companies such as Tao Piao Piao, UC, Youku, Ah Li Pictures, etc. into Ah Li Entertainment Strategic Group, a truly large-scale entertainment media group, and the CEO of the new group She is determined to win the position.

Once in power, the valuation of the new large entertainment group will completely surpass those of Hantang, Huayi, and Bernard.

Thinking of personally controlling a large group with an estimated value of tens of billions and dominating the entire film and television industry, Zhang Wei couldn't help being excited, and even dissed Tang An in public.

The faces of Wang Zhongjun, Ye Tuan and others changed slightly.

Tang An said that "Wolf Warrior" would surpass "Tomb Raider Notes" at the box office, but he said that to the reporter.

This has a completely different meaning from saying it face-to-face. It can be said that it has pierced the middle layer of window paper.

In the past, when Tang An's movies were released, Wang Zhongjun also said some unpleasant things to the media, but when they were face to face, he didn't say anything excessive.

When I mentioned it face-to-face, Tang An couldn't admit it. If "Wolf Warrior" would surpass "Tomb Raider Notes", how would they accept it?
Could it be that in this banquet hall, in front of half of the entertainment industry, several bigwigs are fighting each other?
Wang Zhongjun scolded "Idiot" inwardly, and a trace of disdain also flashed in Ye Tuo's eyes hidden behind the gold-rimmed glasses.

Yu Dong and Wang Changtian watched from the side with a smile, eating melons quietly.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, and the surrounding actors noticed something strange in the place where the bosses gathered, and occasionally took a sneak peek.

Tang An didn't know why Zhang Wei was so nervous, she couldn't even speak in public, and her tone was aggressive.

Tang An took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said with a smile, "Of course, the films produced by our group have never failed, and I think this time will be no exception."

"Tomb Raider Notes" has 2.55 million in three days, and it is going to hit one billion. Zhang Wei can't see the slightest possibility of losing to "Wolf Warrior".

She also just thought that Tang An was being stubborn for the sake of face, so she snorted softly and said lightly, "Then we will wait and see."

Being disturbed by Zhang Wei like this, the banquet was a bit of a disappointment.

After the end, Zhang Wei left with her head held high, her steps pretending to be elegant and a little arrogant.

Tang An still felt baffled, and asked them, "Is there something wrong with Ah Li Pictures, Mr. Zhang called me in advance today and said he couldn't come."

"Oh, Director Tang doesn't know yet?"

"What happened?"

Next to him, Wang Zhongjun explained with a smile, "It is said that Ahli will integrate the entertainment industry, and merge Taopiaopiao, Youku, UC, Ahli Pictures and other related industries into the big entertainment strategic group. The position of group CEO is watched by many people. .”

It turned out that Tang An didn't pay much attention to this matter, and the subordinates of UC's acquisition case were arguing with Ah Li.

"Is she that sure?" Tang An asked.

Wang Zhongjun shook his head, "I don't know, but it looks like there should be hope. Mr. Zhang is also running to Ahli's headquarters."

The big cultural and entertainment strategic group is not comparable to Ahli Film Industry. It integrates all cultural and media resources in Ahli and is valued at tens of billions, surpassing any company in the entertainment industry. It also marks Ahli's commitment to cultural media If it is not done well, it will become the eighth largest business group in Ahli.

Although the impact of Internet companies on the entertainment industry is still not obvious, several ticketing platforms have now begun to take shape, and a large amount of ticket subsidies can bring the box office to a higher level.

And as hundreds of millions of dollars have been burned, the share of online ticket purchases has caught up with offline ticket purchases. In time, it will be no less than a theater terminal.

After the banquet, Tang An asked about UC's acquisition case, and then started promoting the movie in the afternoon.

The box office broke 15 billion, which is a disguised form of publicity, and it is particularly efficient.

On Sunday, "Interstellar" still earned 5500 million, with a total box office of 15.93 billion, which is about to break through the 16 billion mark.

The box office of "Tomb Raiders Notes" fell by 1100 million on Sunday, and it got 7700 million in a single day, with a total box office of 3.27 million.

It is normal for the box office to be lower on Sunday than Saturday, and the other party did not have to worry about it.

However, "Fast and Furious 6" fell only 200 million on Sunday, and got 5800 million that day, with a total box office of 1.67 million in three days of release, and surpassed "Interstellar" to take the second place in the daily box office.

Monday the 29th, a crucial day.

"Interstellar" received 45 million box office with a 3000% drop, and the trend is still stable. The total box office is 16.23 billion, and every day is a new record.

"Vegetarian Chicken 6" only got 1900 million yuan on the first working day, a drop of 67%. It can be said that it is time to dive.

But nothing surprising, the normal trend of Hollywood blockbusters, not all movies can be strong.

Originally, "Vegetarian Chicken 6" had 1.85 million in the first three days, and 1.57 million in the second week and seven days. It was also a big dive, and the jump was even worse.

The opponent dived into the water, and the three investors of "Tomb Raiders Notes" should have been happy, but when they got the box office data, they couldn't see any smiles at all.

The same is 3000 million, a 61% drop. In the second week of the show, tens of millions of publicity fees and tens of millions of ticket subsidies were spent, and the second week's drop was as high as 60%.

Yesterday I was still happy about the box office data, but today, no matter whether it is Wang Zhongjun, Ye Shun or Zhang Wei, they can't laugh anymore.

With this trend, a billion is basically impossible, and even [-] million is in the balance. It's a double heaven of sorrow and joy!

And "Interstellar" regained the single-day box office champion with an advantage of tens of thousands of dollars after a lapse of four days!
