Chapter 271 on "News Network"
Many people are bound to be unable to sleep this night.
3.07 million, the highest zero-point box office record in film history, hit the hearts of everyone in the industry.
"Transformers 2" still holds the top spot at the domestic box office, and its zero-point box office is not as high as "The Martian."
Therefore, the industry unanimously asked: "Can "The Martian" really kill "Transformers 2"?"
Cheng Yu'an rested at home and met up with the leading actors in the evening to participate in the road show that lasted for more than half a month.
They want to grab as much box office as possible before "2012" is released on the 20th.
The 5th is Thursday, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie can only be unleashed on Friday night and the weekend.
However, the popularity of the zero-hour show still made the first stop of the road show full.
At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone gathered at Yuanqiu·Jiahe Cinema's flagship store in Beijing for promotion.
During the day, the leading actors had already visited six theaters in Beijing, and there were three more shows in the evening.
Cheng Yu'an will follow him for a week in the mainland, and then they will split up. Chen Daoming will lead a group, Zhang Guoli will lead a group, and Cheng Yu'an will lead a group to Hong Kong Island for one day. He only plans to stay on the Bay Island for half a day, and then transfer to
Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States.
It will be exclusively distributed by Universal in Europe and the United States. It will be released in 374 theaters on the first day in North America and about 200 theaters in Europe. If the response is good, the film will be expanded.
In fact, Cheng Yu'an didn't plan to make much money from "The Martian" in the European and American markets.
Western audiences don’t have much interest in Chinese science fiction, especially space science fiction. Cheng Yuan’s expected target for the European and American markets is US$30 million to US$50 million.
Look at this group of leading actors, how can I put it, they are all powerful, which means that their fan appeal is relatively low.
But it’s okay, there is Huang Xiaoming.
Huang Xiaoming plays a scientist in "The Martian". The Ming Cult is very powerful now, and many people come to see Huang Xiaoming wherever he goes.
And Huang Xiaoming didn't care that he was a supporting actor and cooperated very well in publicity.
After running in Beijing for two days, "Xinwen Lianbo" on Saturday night reported on "The Martian":
"The New Year is approaching, and watching movies has become the first choice for many people for vacation and leisure. Recently, a domestic science fiction blockbuster "The Martian" that shows the optimism and bravery of our country's astronauts is now in theaters. As soon as it was released, it triggered a movie-watching craze among the people."
The following is the specific report content: Many people queued up to buy tickets at the theater and rushed to get in.
""The Martian" is a space science fiction masterpiece created by the famous Chinese director Cheng Yu'an for three years. The film tells the touching story of Li Jun, a member of the Chinese Mars scientific expedition team, who was in danger on Mars and survived the catastrophe, and the astronauts launched a rescue mission.
"
"It is reported that since the film was released, the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie has been high. The zero-point box office has reached 3 million, breaking the zero-point box office record in my country's film history. The box office on the first day was 32 million, and the next Friday received 41.6 million. As of the time of this report, the total box office of the film has been Breaking through the 100 million yuan mark.”
What follows are interviews with several viewers.
"The special effects are very good. I have watched it for the second time. I even brought my family to watch it today."
"I was very moved after watching it. I admire the optimism, bravery, positivity and strength of the astronauts. Although it is a science fiction film, the details and scenes are very realistic and will not make people laugh. I will recommend this film to my friends.
Movie."
The camera turned again, and it was an interview with Director Han: "The popularity of "The Martian" shows that our audience and the market are able to accept domestic science fiction. This sends a very good signal. I believe that domestic science fiction films will welcome domestic science fiction films in the future.
Come spring when a hundred flowers bloom.”
The following is an interview with Cheng Yuan: "I hope this movie can plant a seed of advocating science, being brave in exploration, and being optimistic and brave in the hearts of our audiences, especially children."
Finally, CCTV also specifically quoted the poster of "The Martian" and placed it at the end of the report:
""The Martian" is now showing!"
The entire report lasted 40 seconds and was the work of China Film Group Corporation.
“The ads are all on Xinwen Lianbo!”
Liu Yifei watches the report with her mother at home.
Liu's mother now regrets not letting her daughter take the role of Wang Li in "The Martian".
But then I thought about it, Cheng Yu'an is my son-in-law, and he will definitely not treat Qian Qian badly. This thought flashed past, and he asked his daughter: "Qian Qian, how are you and Yu'an recently?"
"He was out of town doing promotions and was quite busy, so we didn't contact him for several days."
"You won't go without contacting me."
"I didn't do "The Martian", I'm going to figure out what's going on."
"What do others say when you work with him?"
"Mom! We don't want to make it public just yet."
"How do his two grandfathers treat you?"
"They are very nice to me. They all like me."
"Where's the girl named Jing Tian?"
"What did she do?" Liu Yifei has always had a grudge against Jing Tian.
Although the baby kiss between the two was a joke, she always felt uncomfortable.
"My silly daughter, although it is a joke, the older generation believes this, otherwise why would Yuan give her "Tron: Legacy"."
"Her company paid for it."
"Then there must be a relationship between the two families." Liu's mother thought for a while, "It's okay if you don't want to make it public so early. Let's settle the matter first."
"What's up?"
"Get married first."
"Mom!" Liu Yifei shouted, "We have only been together for more than a year, and we didn't want to get married so early."
"Don't worry about this. I'll go tell his grandfather that you have to get engaged first if you don't want to get married. You can't follow him like this without any name or status."
The young lady said she disagreed, but in fact she acquiesced to her mother's decision.
The two of them were not together for a long time. As Cheng Yuan's career progressed and the company developed its artist management business, Cheng Yuan was surrounded by more and more beauties, which made her very insecure.
While the conversation was divided, Cheng Yuan was still running road shows across the country.
"The original idea for this movie came from Shenzhou 5 and 6. At that time, I was watching the live broadcast of the launch. I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked. I think the astronauts in our space industry are very great. Later, I
I was even more inspired when I heard that we were going to launch a lunar exploration project. I thought, since we have all started planning to land on the moon, is Mars not far away? This is how we came up with the initial idea of the "Mars Project."
Cheng Yuan shouted on the stage.
"The early preparations for this film were difficult. We discussed the feasibility with engineers from the space agency, but we are still laymen. We have learned a lot and understood a lot of the difficulties of our aerospace industry."
"There are some exaggerations and unrealities in the film, but this is a necessary fiction for film and television creation. I don't think it will have much impact on movie viewing."
"I'm not sure if I will make science fiction again in the future. Let's see if there are any good scripts. I don't want to limit myself to one genre. If there are good stories, I will participate as a producer and supervisor."
""2012"? Let's face our opponents. In the past few days, our results are not bad. We believe in our audience."
It should be said that China Film's year-end film schedule is a bit chaotic.
"2012" will be released in November, and "Avatar" will be released in January, with more than 30 domestic films in between to survive.
