Chapter 887 "Legend of Sword" released, "Pacific Rim" world premiere

"Xiao Yu, you are..."

Zhou Xia looked at the little yellow duck who was crying without warning, not knowing what was going on.

He knows the character of the little yellow duck very well. She is a ghostly spirit, and a little careless, but she is not the kind of soft and weak girl.

Xiao Ai was a little panicked, thinking that she deliberately sabotaged the little yellow duck to get close to Zhou Xia, and made her cry.

"Xiao Yu, don't cry yet, it's alright, we won't practice anymore."

Xiao Ai quickly said that the other party just looked at her before crying.

After being persuaded by the two, the little yellow duck also understood that she was crying for no reason, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes, and looked at Xiao Ai.

"Hmph, you took away my first kiss just now, what do you think should I do?"

"First kiss? Isn't it the first kiss on screen?"

Xiao Ai was taken aback. Although they were both first kisses, the difference was too big.

"Yes, it's also the first kiss!" The little yellow duck pouted seriously, and at the same time glanced at Zhou Xia.

Zhou Xia quickly glanced aside, it was impossible for him to come out and point out that the little yellow duck was lying.

"Ah, Xiao Yu, I really don't know. I didn't mean it. If we have time, I'll treat you to a big meal. You can choose a place, and I'll make an apology for you."

Everyone said so, Xiao Ai had no choice but to apologize.

"No, how about a big meal! Just answer my question."

The little yellow duck smiled slyly, and she didn't look hurt at all just now.

"Okay, you can ask." Xiao Ai said helplessly.

"You can't lie."

The little yellow duck gave a reminder, and whispered in Xiao Ai's ear.

"Did you date Zhou Xia very early, since 09?"

Seeing the scene of the two biting their ears, Zhou Xia knew that it must be related to him, so Jon could only stare beside him.

Xiao Ai didn't understand why the little yellow duck asked this question, looked at Zhou Xia, and finally nodded.

The little yellow duck showed such an expression that it really did, and there was an inexplicable feeling of relief in his heart.

She and Zhou Xia have known each other since filming "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" in early 2010.

That year, the two of them were called Mou Boyang and Mou Girl. They were recognized by the national media as innocent CPs. They also went to the Spring Festival Gala together and hyped CPs for a long time.

During that time, she hinted at Zhou Xia, but Zhou Xia clearly rejected her.

Zhou Xia said at the time that she was her younger sister, but she didn't give up. She vaguely felt that Zhou Xia had a girlfriend, but there was nothing she could do about it.

In the past few years, Zhou Xia's scandals have been flying all over the sky, but she didn't take it too seriously, thinking that it was all hype just like her.

Now that it's finally confirmed, and they've been together for five years, and they're still so good, she should finally give up.

After all, more than a month ago, when "Sword of Heaven" was released and promoted, Zhou Xia took Xiao Ai home to see her family.

Obviously she didn't have any chance, and if she persisted, she would be deceiving herself.

And just now, in order to prevent her from getting close to Zhou Xia, Xiao Ai did not hesitate to teach her to kiss like that. This woman is really crazy...

The little yellow duck looked carefully at Xiao Ai, then at Zhou Xia, and couldn't help admiring her.

I didn't expect Zhou Xia and Xiao Ai to be together so early. The two have not separated due to the change of status and status, and they have met their parents.

"Boss, I didn't expect you to be as innocent as the third child. You have been with Sister Xiaoai for 5 years. It's good to hide it. Congratulations, I hope you will always be so happy."

The little yellow duck looked at Zhou Xia, and said half-jokingly in order not to embarrass herself so much.

"Thank you." Zhou Xia smiled without embarrassment, never thought he was so good in the eyes of the little yellow duck...

However, he will not explain anything.

"By the way, you must never tell others." Zhou Xia hurriedly reminded again.

"Hehe." Xiao Ai laughed at the side without saying a word.

The little yellow duck is too naive, if she hadn't stopped her today, maybe she would have boarded Zhou Xia's pirate ship, and it would be difficult to leave by then.

"Well, don't worry, I understand that I will keep it secret for you."

The little yellow duck blinked cleverly, pretending to be clever to make up the reason why Zhou Xia asked her to keep it a secret.

In the days that followed, Zhou Xia continued filming "The Mermaid".

In the blink of an eye, September 9th, "Pacific Rim" held its world premiere celebration in Shanghai. Zhou Xia had to take half a day off to leave the crew to attend.

………………

And on September 9, the day before, the global screening of "Sword of Heaven" finally came to a successful conclusion.

After being screened in the mainland for two months, "Legend of Sword" finally earned a box office of 68.4 billion, and there is no doubt that it will be the annual box office champion.

Especially in the second month of release, compared to the first month, although the performance dropped sharply, it still won more than 14 billion at the box office, beating two Hollywood blockbusters "The Expendables 3" and "Planet of the Apes" which were released at the end of August. 2".

In one fell swoop, it won the weekly box office championship for seven consecutive weeks. Although it failed to catch up with the record of "Avatar", it also created a record in mainland film history.

To everyone's surprise, the record of "Sword of Heaven" was ended by Xia Hua Film and Television's own animation film.

The release of "The Return of the Great Sage" during the Mid-Autumn Festival also shocked the entire Chinese film and television circle.

An animated film with an investment of less than 1 million yuan including announcements, has already won 9 million box office in just 5 days since it was released on September 14.

In another ten days, it will be the National Day file.

According to the current trend, and the reputation of this animated film against the sky, there is absolutely no problem with the total box office exceeding 12 billion.

This is the data predicted by most experts in the industry, but many domestic film and television companies are somewhat unacceptable.

In the past few years, through continuous acquisitions and mergers, Xiahua Film and Television has brought many excellent animation production companies in China under its command.

With the financial and technical support of Xiahua Film and Television, in addition to producing online animation dramas, these animation subsidiaries will also have two or three animation films released in theaters every year.

Last year's animated films such as "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes" and "Quiba" cost more than [-] million, and more than [-] million made the industry very envious and jealous.

Now this "The Return of the Great Sage" has broken through the dimension wall in one fell swoop, catching up with the word-of-mouth and box office results of Hollywood animated films.

This made other film and television companies in the circle a little confused for a while, feeling that they could not keep up with the rhythm of Xia Hua Film and Television.

Everyone here is now following the trend to make action comedy genres, investing in blockbuster 3D special effects.

As a result, the low-cost animated film won such a high box office.

And during the National Day, Xiahua Film and Television has another big IP animation movie "Qin Shi Mingyue" released.

Now it seems that the box office results are not expected to be low, how can this catch up?
"Legend of Sword" was shown in North America at night for a month, and it was released yesterday in mainland China.

It finally won a box office of 3.12 million US dollars in North America, plus a total of 63.5 billion yuan in other parts of the world such as Europe and Asia except the Mainland, and the global box office finally reached a total of 24.64 billion US dollars.

Unsurprisingly, it surpassed "Titanic" and became the second highest-grossing film in global film history.

And another movie "The Expendables 3" starring Zhou Xia has just finished its global screening, and has won a total of 4.23 million US dollars in the global box office.

The mainland box office just exceeded 12 billion soft sister coins, which contributed almost half of the global box office.

In North America, due to the popularity of "Sword of Heaven" and the leaks at the time, "The Expendables 3" was released for ten days, and in the second week, it accumulated a box office of 1.2 million US dollars.

However, with the official release of "Sword" in North America, the word-of-mouth of "The Expendables 3" declined. In the end, it only won 1.64 million US dollars in North America, and only 6000 million US dollars in other overseas places.

Of course, this is just box office revenue.

This movie is very popular in the global video market, and the income from broadcasting on TV, the Internet, and peripherals are not included in the calculation.

But that's the case, "The Expendables 3" is already the best of the three released, and has exceeded the sum of the income of the first two.

This made Lionsgate, the main investment in the film, and producer Stallone very excited, but also a little regretful.

At the beginning, Zhou Xia insisted on changing the script, otherwise they would abandon the show. Considering the Chinese market, they finally agreed to Zhou Xia's changes, and only then did they achieve their current great success.

But the fly in the ointment is that it is not decisive enough and does not add too much drama to Zhou Xia.

Otherwise, the global box office should be even higher.

The global success of "Sword of Heaven" and "The Expendables 3" is due to Zhou Xia.

Now that "Pacific Rim" is released, Legendary Pictures, the main producer, naturally attaches more importance to the mainland market, so the world premiere ceremony is also chosen in Shanghai.
