Chapter 853 Two new movies in preparation, box office in second week

It has been more than a month since Zhou Xia listened to Yang Tianzhen report about the leukemia fan and Lu Yong last time.

At present, after Yang Tianzhen used the resources of Xiahua Film and Television and provided legal assistance, his work efficiency is very high. Lu Yong's affairs have basically taken shape. I believe he will get out of the predicament if he looks good.

But even if Lu Yong's matter ends, the impact of this matter will be limited.

And relying on Zhou Xia's public welfare fund, it is difficult to help more leukemia patients.

Therefore, film shooting still needs to be advanced quickly as planned.

Zhou Xia believes that with his current influence, the completion of this movie will definitely have a greater impact than the original one and benefit more people.

And in the past few days, the script outline has been reviewed, so the project can be started.

Zhou Xia has already told the company to prepare the crew and make preparations before shooting.

Now this script was written by Zhou Xia and Wen Muye through good communication and asked him to organize the company's screenwriters.

It has been revised three times, and basically there are not many major problems, but some plot settings and lines still need to be improved.

I believe that the team of the waiting company, according to Zhou Xia's request, will prepare all the filming in about two months, and his schedule will be free.

Then it was time to start shooting.

Before the filming of this movie started, Zhou Xia's lesbian-themed "Carol" had also been in preparation and had the latest progress.

When filming "Zhu Xian" some time ago, Harvey called Zhou Xia and said that because of issues such as salary and film background, the Kate Demon King had not reached an agreement in the end, and had decided not to appear in the film.

Afterwards, Harvey recommended to Zhou Xia other famous Hollywood actresses who were no worse than Kate, whose pay was not that high, and who were willing to lower their pay.

Among them, Nicole Kidman and Kate Winslet are the most suitable for the role of Carol.

Both of them are typical blond beauties, and they are also Oscar queens. There is no problem with their acting skills and they are more cost-effective.

Zhou Xia also figured it out, and was no longer obsessed with asking Kate the Devil to play the role.

Since the filming of this lesbian-themed "Carol" was for the sake of winning awards and disgusting Hollywood, in order to repay the disgusting incident at that time.

It is natural to aim at these two main goals.

Winning the prize is too complicated and depends on luck, so the most important thing is to achieve the last goal.

As long as it can bring enough influence and attention to the film, the heroine should of course save as much money as possible.

The popularity and influence of Nicole and Kate Winslet are unquestionable.

Zhou Xia personally prefers Nicole.

She has been too vague in recent years, and her salary is cheaper than Kate Winslet who has been on the front line.

of course.

This will have to wait for the costume test photos and play test videos from the United States. After Zhou Xia has seen them, the decision can be made based on the opinions of the entire casting team.

Zhou Xia was busy in front of the computer for two hours, and it was almost three o'clock, so she also went to bed.

If it wasn't for Xiao Ai's going back to see her family and waiting for her to leave together tomorrow, they would have rushed back to the imperial capital tonight.

………………

Next, according to the itinerary, Zhou Xia was busy with domestic promotion, and then went to various countries in Asia to promote "Sword" which is currently being released.

Zhou Xia and several leading actors have gained a certain reputation in Asia in the past few years because of film and television dramas, and they have received great welcome from all over the world.

Therefore, the effect of the publicity is very good, which has increased the popularity of the film a lot, and the box office in various places has also performed strongly.

During these ten days, "Sword of Immortal Sword" is still the best in the mainland, leading the way.

After the box office exceeded 19 million on Saturday 5th, on Sunday 20th, "Legend of Sword" won another 4.68 million box office.

On the first three days, it earned a total of 14.21 billion box office, and won the domestic box office champion at the same time, plus a total of 6.6 million box office in Asia, the first week earned a total of 3.4 million US dollars, and also won the global box office champion in one fell swoop!

Ranked second, "Transformers 4", which has been released worldwide for nearly a month, only earned $1.6 million.

Other newly released Hollywood films, such as "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Planes", and "Purge of Mankind" did not exceed US$2 million at the box office in their first week, and the gap with "Sword and Sword" is even greater.

The news that "Legend of Sword" won the world's weekly box office champion shocked the media at home and abroad.

In particular, "Legend of Sword" has already started to promote its release in Europe and America, and its performance in the mainland market at this time naturally attracts attention.

Overseas media marveled at the powerful energy of the domestic market, and at the same time were astonished by the ability of Zhou Xiaxin's film to attract money.

In the following second week, "Legend of Sword" still dominates, occupying more than 70% of the film schedule in the mainland.

Although this situation is a devastating disaster for other film forms, many domestic film and television companies, including China Film, which is in charge of the domestic film market, do not want to see such a situation.

But this is market behavior after all.

Audiences all want to see Zhou Xia's two-year production of this fairy-tale masterpiece. The theaters can earn more money, so they will naturally give high-ranking films.

Moreover, there are currently no relevant policies restricting film scheduling in China, so the scheduling of "Sword" cannot be restricted because of this.

And in the second week of the release, along with several other Hollywood blockbusters, they went offline one after another because they had been released for a full month.

The film schedule of "Legend of Sword" is more stable, and other Chinese-language films that have been released have also received some film schedules.

But this time period, there are very few new movies released.

Except for some low-cost movies that are destined to hit the street, I can only bite the bullet and choose to release them, and die generously.

Originally, some movies that I thought I still had some hope and could be saved chose to withdraw.

Among them, "Beijing No. 81"; the animated film "Dragon Nest" dubbed by Da Tiantian and Lao Hu; and "The White-haired Witch" starring Huang Jiaozhu and Fan Ye are the most bachelor.

During the publicity, they shouted that they would collide head-on with "Sword".

The result was imminent, and the file was withdrawn without hesitation, causing some expectant movie fans to complain, but there was nothing they could do.

With the withdrawal of these three films, "Sword" has no new threats and continues to maintain a high ranking.

Especially during the prime time at night, it has always occupied more than 90% of the film schedule.

finally.

On the fifth working day of the second day, while maintaining a box office harvest of more than 2.6 million every day, it won another 6.8 million on Saturday and Saturday. In the entire second week, "Sword" earned a total of 20.3 billion at the box office.

In one fell swoop, it set a record of over 20 billion movie box office in a single week!

And the domestic box office has also reached 30.51 billion, becoming the second movie in the mainland to exceed 30 billion.

And its cumulative overseas box office has reached 14.2 billion, with a total box office of more than 40 billion, and it continues to sit firmly at the domestic and global weekly box office champions.

The fascination for fairy tale movies that started in the East has also caused a great sensation in Europe and the United States. As the movie is screened in North America, many European and American audiences are also full of expectations.
