"Yes!" Gao Min finally felt relieved. If today's incident affects the recording, even if Wang Zhengfei doesn't care, Gao Yan will be angry. It's not because the recording of a program failed. Gao Yan is not such a narrow-minded person, but
She would definitely doubt his ability as an agent. It would be inevitable to be replaced by then. Wang Zhengfei had only been his agent for a day and was replaced. She could fully imagine what her reputation would be like.
But fortunately, Wang Zhengfei said it was okay and nothing would happen. Only then did she feel completely relieved.
Gao Min can leave and go to bed, but Wang Zhengfei can't go to bed yet. He still has to wait for Gao Yan's call to get specific and accurate figures. How much box office did "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2" sell on the first day? This is also his day.
What everyone is worried about is that the box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2" will certainly not be bad, and compared to ordinary movies, the box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2" will definitely be very good, but that is only relatively
As for ordinary movies, for Wang Zhengfei now, there is nothing comparable to ordinary movies. The only one that can be compared is "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 1", which is also his own work.
If "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2" is not as good as "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 1", then there will undoubtedly be piles of media who will jump out and make trouble about this matter. Don't look at Wang Zhengfei's last movie "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 1".
"Ming Yue - Part 1" was a hit, and at that time the media praised him to the sky. But as soon as "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2" was in trouble, he would be attacked immediately. According to the reality of these media
, after being in the entertainment industry for so long, if you still can’t figure this out, there’s no need for Wang Zhengfei to mess around.
This is what Wang Zhengfei is most worried about, so Wang Zhengfei can't wait until tomorrow to see how much the box office will be. Presumably Gao Yan also has this idea, and he must be anxiously waiting for news from Yanjing now.
However, this box office closes in the early morning, so it’s still early!
Wang Zhengfei picked up the remote control and watched TV out of boredom. The most interesting thing in Hong Kong is actually TVB. There is a reason why TVB has monopolized power for so many years.
Just because it is in Cantonese, Wang Zhengfei seems a little uncomfortable. If it is in China, domestic TV stations, no matter where they are, all speak standard Mandarin. This is to adapt to the situation across the country. After all, China is too
As the country grows, there are too many local dialects, and no one can understand all the dialects. This is also to take care of the majority of people, especially for satellite stations. This is especially true. This is necessary.
Unlike Hong Kong, which can only be watched by people in this three-thirds of an acre of land, the area nearby is also a traditional Cantonese area. If you can receive the signal, you don’t have to worry about not being able to understand it, so you can be unscrupulous.
Speak Cantonese.
After a while, when the tired Wang Zhengfei was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone. Wang Zhengfei was suddenly startled. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Gao Yan. Wang Zhengfei asked.
"Well, how much is the box office?"
"Haha, you must have never imagined that it is even crazier than the previous part. The box office on the first day it was released in the mainland alone reached 30 million yuan." Gao Yan said excitedly.
Wang Zhengfei was stunned. This data still shocked Wang Zhengfei. Although he had already prepared for it, it should not be very bad. Anyway, it was much better than ordinary movies, but he did not expect that it would be the first day.
It can reach 30 million. This box office is already comparable to the total box office of ordinary movies. Once word spreads, it will definitely be a crazy figure.
"Do you know how much the first-day box office was in Hong Kong and Taiwan? In Hong Kong, the first-day box office exceeded 8 million, and the occupancy rate of cinemas playing "Qin Shi Mingyue" in Hong Kong was as high as 100%!" Gao Yan said excitedly.
With a box office of 8 million on the first day and an occupancy rate of 100%, Wang Zhengfei feels that he is much calmer now. Compared with the box office of 30 million in the Mainland, this figure is actually not bad, but it must be nonsense to say so.
Damn, the box office of 8 million is not much, but it was in one day, and it was only in the city of Hong Kong.
"And Taiwan's is not much worse. The box office on the first day in Taiwan was as high as 15 million yuan."
In other words, the three most important box office locations in the Chinese-speaking world, the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, have contributed a terrifying 53 million box office to "Qin Shi Mingyue" today. It is even said that it may break the record of the previous film.
, maybe it doesn’t even need to be postponed to the third day, and the box office can exceed 100 million.
If this is true, it will probably reach a peak. If you want to shock others and make a breakthrough, there is only one possibility, which is to have a box office of over 100 million in a single day. No matter how crazy people are, it is difficult to believe that this will really happen.
During the period, it is much more difficult to achieve a box office of over 100 million in a single day than to achieve a box office of over 100 million in two days.
Just thinking about it is a very exciting thing.
"Well, there are also Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea!" Compared with the mainland market, the markets in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea are also very important. To put it bluntly, the box office of one place in Japan is even worth
The total box office in the Chinese-speaking region.
However, although the Japanese box office market is said to be huge, Wang Zhengfei has never been envious of it. So what if the market is big? Most of them are either Hollywood movies or Chinese movies. Only Japan's own movies account for a certain proportion. In other words,
This market has been cultivated in vain and has been completely given to outsiders. This is definitely a tragedy for the country's filmmakers.
The Chinese film market is also like this now. Many people are clamoring that the Chinese film market is getting bigger and bigger, and how much Hollywood attaches great importance to it. Let’s not talk about the truth or falsehood. Even if it is true, so what? Cultivate such
In the large film market, all the money is made by foreign film companies. So whether we cultivate the market in this way or not, all the money in the Chinese people's pockets will be given to foreigners.
Of course, one of the important reasons is that Chinese filmmakers themselves are not strong enough. If their own filmmakers are strong enough, the film market will be able to absorb it no matter how big it is. In fact, based on China’s population and actual level of affluence, even if Chinese films
Even if it is twice as much, it can be fully eaten, but the problem is that the audience has money. If nothing else, they still have the money to watch movies a few times a year, but they can't always fool people with some defective products.
Bar.
Instead of blaming the audience for not having aesthetic vision and not knowing how to appreciate your movie, why not reflect on how incompetent your own movie is!
"The box office in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea is also very good. Hahahahahaha. The box office in Southeast Asia grossed 45 million yuan on the first day. In South Korea, "Qin Shi Mingyue" also beat all the box office in the same period.
Korean local movies have reached 30 million." Rao Shi Gao Yan is usually a very calm person, but at this time, there was a bit of great surprise in his tone.
"Let me tell you, I just got the news that today, just today, a group of filmmakers in South Korea protested in front of the government in Seoul, demanding that "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2" be downgraded!" Gao Yan said this.
, the mood is a bit complicated. On the one hand, I feel very happy, but on the other hand, I am also worried that if their government really restricts the release of "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2" in South Korea, it will be terrible. Although
It is said that the agency distribution company in South Korea chosen by Gao Yan this time is also a very powerful company, but if the entire industry is opposed to this matter, then the situation will be completely different. They are not that powerful to compete with the entire industry.
Korean filmmakers confront.
"What, no!" Wang Zhengfei said. If this is really the case, then the problem will be huge. Although South Korea does not seem to have the best box office among the regions where "Qin Shi Mingyue" was released, but, especially
When comprehensive box office statistics are compiled, it often only accounts for one-tenth of a tenth, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still a piece of meat, let alone a box office that may exceed 100 million. Wang Zhengfei is not so generous as to say that he doesn't care, so he doesn't care.
But these damn Korean filmmakers really know how to choose their time. If you think about it, compared to the glory of Korean TV people, Korean filmmakers are a bit miserable. Although Koreans are extremely united and have always resisted foreign films, but
The narrow market itself determines that Korean films that use national films as their brands will not develop much.
If you put it in other countries, you don't have to worry about this. Even if you may be suppressed, it won't be too obvious. But it is inevitable in South Korea. Their record of slowing down here is very serious.
In fact, this situation also occurred a few years ago. A Chinese reporter once asked Koreans what they thought of Chinese culture. Bae Jong-shin, then the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of South Korea, avoided the important matter and said: "Korean people like Chinese costume dramas, such as "
"Returning My Princess"." But this is only half right. Koreans really like "Returning My Princess" very much. It created a ratings myth at that time, just like the Korean restaurants in the streets and alleys are now called "Dae Jang Geum"
"Similarly, many small stores of the Gege series popped up in Korea back then.
However, unlike the Chinese approach, the Koreans not only did not take the opportunity to introduce more Chinese TV series, but instead changed the show to the late-night time slot halfway through the broadcast of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". Subsequently, the three major Korean TV stations jointly "blocked"
"Chinese TV series, so Koreans have never watched Chinese TV series after "Huan Zhuge Ge", let alone distinguish between ancient and modern costumes. Although "Meteor Garden" was later introduced, it was only on cable TV channels.
broadcast, the viewing audience is very limited.
Some Korean netizens said that Chinese TV dramas often have cross-dressing scenes, so they cannot pass the censorship. However, when "Dae Jang Geum" was chopping vegetables, he still had "Bondy" on his hand, the palace maid wore high-heeled leather shoes, and the minister wore a
Fashion watch. Let’s take a look at "The King's Man", which has the highest box office in Korean history. Let's not talk about how they ruined our country's Peking Opera. Just the fan in the hand of the actor is shocking. It says: The world
Weigong, Sun Wen, and Wang Zhengfei have nothing to say. We are all talking to each other, so why bother!
Last month, South Korean TV stations reported: "The Chinese government has decided to completely suspend the import of Korean TV dramas in the future. Although more than 50 Korean dramas were screened in China last year, with more than 500 episodes, China will not ban any Korean dramas in the future.
Broadcasting licenses were issued, and the broadcasting of Korean dramas that had passed the review began to be restricted.”
Although it came a little late, it finally took action. Wang Zhengfei was still applauding at that time. The reborn Wang Zhengfei had withstood the attacks of the Korean Wave twice in a row, not even once. These two times were really unbearable.
, Korean dramas are everywhere on TV, and except for a few high-quality ones, most of them are rubbish. I have had enough of domestic rubbish TV dramas. Now that the domestic ones are not enough, I have to import foreign rubbish. It’s really useless.
That's said.
South Korea’s TV drama exports reach US$6.7 billion every year, most of which are sold to China and Japan. On the contrary, South Korea has never been a major market for the Chinese entertainment industry—the domestic market is still too busy, and no one has the heart to run away.
Go to South Korea to develop. In South Korea, the record industry has been in a long-term slump, TV dramas are seriously homogenized, and the local entertainment industry is overpopulated. Just when many of its entertainers are gearing up to make a living, China announced that it has begun to reduce the number of Korean dramas it purchases.
The important and vast market is facing shrinkage, which is naturally unbearable for Koreans. It is not difficult to understand the mixed reactions of people on both sides to similar events.
The reason for this serious asymmetry in entertainment trade has little to do with the ability of both parties to create idols. If Zhao Wei had taken the opportunity to enter the Korean market, she might have been as popular as Rain in China, and she would have become famous long ago. However, China
People have never been as eager for the Korean market as Koreans are for the Chinese market. Ordinary Chinese may not understand the excitement of Korean filmmakers, and most Chinese people have no special feelings about this asymmetry. Cultural
The innate sense of superiority makes Chinese people not afraid of Korean culture. The traditional morals promoted by Korean film and television works actually come from Confucianism. The Chinese people are baptized only in the field of fashion and life. On the contrary, Koreans are very sensitive to this.
.Many Chinese people will never want to know Korean characters in their lives, but in South Korea, everyone knows a few Chinese characters more or less. Chinese four-character idioms must appear in the Korean language test for middle school students, and when filling out most official documents
Sometimes it is necessary to write names in Chinese characters, which is also a pain for Koreans.
But no matter what, the actions of those Korean filmmakers still affected Wang Zhengfei's emotions to some extent. Wang Zhengfei was not sure whether they would do this.
"Those people don't have the ability themselves, so they know how to use some dirty tricks!" Gao Yan said angrily, "If it doesn't work, I will use my connections at home and ask the embassy in South Korea to submit a protest letter to the South Korean government. Let's take a look.
What did they say!"
"Hey, you are really generous, using the embassy to help you with the lawsuit!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, but he was also used to Gao Yan's "private use of public tools". Gao Yan himself is not a very pedantic person, if it is legitimate
Competition, he didn't have the shame to go back and ask for help, but if it was unfair, he wouldn't have so many scruples, "But there is no final conclusion yet, and the Korean government may not support this proposal!"
"I decided to have enough food and clothing by myself. It is impossible to rely on our political ax to fight back!" Gao Yan said, "Let's create a certain amount of public pressure in the country first. Hehe, let alone Koreans, our domestic nationalists will
Is it missing? I’m sure everyone will be on our side by then. Let’s boycott Korean dramas and refuse imports. Then those people who work on Korean dramas will have to come forward. They won’t care what the filmmakers think. I’m sure
They will also find ways to put pressure on the government, and then let them fight each other and let the Korean government suffer!" Gao Yan said with a smile.
Wang Zhengfei also laughed. This method is damaging enough. The Korean government must have a headache. On one side is the film industry, and on the other side is the television industry. The so-called palms and backs are full of flesh. Basically, it will be very depressed. It doesn’t matter which side it supports.
, then it can only be nothing, and this is the effect that Gao Yan wants. What Gao Yan wants is to let nothing go. He doesn't care how much headaches the Korean government has. Anyway, as long as no one gives him "Qin Shi"
"Mingyue - Part Two" can just cause trouble, and there is no fear that the Korean people will spontaneously resist. In fact, Chinese culture has a natural advantage in South Korea. It is much closer than those in Europe and the United States. The rampant use of European and American films can easily lead to cultural invasion.
, but Chinese movies do not.
"Then there's also Japan's box office!" Among these box offices, Wang Zhengfei is undoubtedly most concerned about Japan's box office. Japan's box office has always been the highest. Last time, it almost occupied the place of "Qin Shi Mingyue".
—Part 1" accounted for half of the total box office in Asia.
Japan's box office ranks as the third largest source of box office after North American box office and European box office. Basically, Gao Yan and Wang Zhengfei regard Japan as a cash machine, and they can withdraw as much as they can.
The last time it took over 100 million U.S. dollars at the box office in Japan, the two of them were still deeply impressed, and now they are even more eager for it.
Now, in addition to Japan's box office, East Asia's box office has contributed a terrifying box office of 128 million, so Japan should not be far behind.
"Haha, actually the Japanese box office is the biggest one. Do you know how big the box office is in Japan? It has a box office of 103 million!" Gao Yan laughed and said, "The Japanese people are so generous.
Sticks like those are not generous at all!"
Speaking of this Gao Yan, I just don’t know how to describe him. Basically, he loves and hates him. From a national sentimental point of view, he naturally doesn’t have any good impressions, but on the other hand, he simply loves Japan to death.
, to him, it is a super cash machine. Although everyone says that money is the root of all evil and money stinks, no one really hates money. And this is Gao Yan's mentality now,
It’s both love and hate!
"Yes, the Japanese people are still very friendly!" Wang Zhengfei said with a embarrassed laugh. "In the future, we will go to Japan more often to visit the 'suffering' Japanese people!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
The night passed quickly with laughter...
Regarding the box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2", if there is anyone who is more concerned and excited than Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan, it is undoubtedly the media. For the media, one night is all about keeping watch.
News, I hope to get first-hand information as soon as possible, and then rush to publish the newspaper before dawn, so as to ensure that I will not be worse than others.
"The box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue" has been released, and the box office in the mainland on the first day exceeded 50 million!"
""Qin Shi Mingyue" continues to break records again, with a box office of over 50 million on the first day!"
"The box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue" exceeded 200 million on its first day in Asia. Director Wang Zhengfei said that this time the box office record is very promising, and he hopes that the box office will continue to work hard to break the box office record of the previous film and reach a new high!"
""Qin Shi Mingyue" is a box office hit. The person in charge of Xingchen Printing said that the release of "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2" is also under negotiation in Europe and North America. European and American audiences are expected to see "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2" in the near future!"
""Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2" breaks the record again, China has launched a real commercial blockbuster model!"
"To make a Chinese blockbuster with a few tenths of the box office of a Hollywood blockbuster, high cost does not necessarily represent the only way!"
"Chinese blockbusters are moving closer to the United States, martial arts are paving the way, stunts are sweeping, and they are invincible!"
After learning about the box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2", all major media immediately took action and praised "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 2".
Wang Zhengfei didn't care how happy he was and started filming Zhiyun's dinner party.
The program started with Wang Zhengfei taking a car to the hotel in Liangmingju, and then being greeted by Chen Zhiyun, he walked into the hotel.
"Sometimes right and wrong in life are not as simple as black and white. Just like the friend I invited today, some people like him and some criticize him, but how many people really understand him? The person we invited today is
Wang Zhengfei, who just won the Academy Award for Best Actor, is here!" Chen Zhiyun said to the camera with a smile.
"Congratulations to you first. You have won an award that many people will never win in their lifetime!" Chen Zhiyun said.
"Thank you, it's the committee that praised me!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"It shouldn't be a compliment, you deserve this award, just because "Qin Shi Mingyue - Part 1" has such a good box office!" Chen Zhiyun said. "Now the second part is also released, I saw it this morning
Newspaper, it has achieved very good results in Hong Kong, and also achieved very good results in Asia. Now, are you confident that you can win another Academy Award with your lower body?"
"Haha, I'm lucky enough to win an Academy Award. If I win another one, can I buy [***] lottery tickets?" Wang Zhengfei said with a laugh.
"Then have you ever thought about getting one?" Chen Zhiyun asked.
"We all have expectations. I have thought about it. In fact, the opportunity this time is quite big. I am very happy to have so many people supporting me. When I got the first one, I thought: I will get a prize. I am very happy. What next?
, Hey, doesn’t it mean that there is no Best Actor Award, but it doesn’t matter, I already got one in my hand. In fact, I am already happy. Adding another one will make me even happier. For my own strength, I think it’s okay
Yes, I can’t say it’s very good, OK, but with all the luck and the help of other people, everything comes together, and coincidences are not common.” Wang Zhengfei replied, this question is still a bit tricky,
Because it’s hard to answer yes, and it’s also hard to answer no, so I have to answer like this.
"When you talk about luck, I believe there is more or less, but it is impossible to say that it is completely luck. The scripts of the movies you are making now are all written by yourself, right? The songs you sing are also written by yourself. It can be said that
You are completely talented, this cannot be said to be luck!"
"It shouldn't be said that it depends entirely on luck, but your own talent is not the most critical. In fact, there are many talented people in the entertainment industry, but they have not been given corresponding opportunities, so they have not had the opportunity to appear in front of the audience.
In front of me, I think luck still plays a large role in my current results!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"Let's try it first. This is mushroom and millet rice soup!" Chen Zhiyun introduced the dishes and said. "Try it first. The weather is a bit cold today. It's getting colder. Let's drink some hot soup first."
"Okay!" Wang Zhengfei said as he drank the soup.
"Do you usually cook by yourself?" Chen Zhiyun asked.
"Yes!" Wang Zhengfei nodded.
"Is that great?" Chen Zhiyun continued to ask.
"I think it should be pretty good!" Wang Zhengfei said, "I have been able to cook for many years. Before I came out of the entertainment industry, when I was at home, I was the one cooking most of the time. My parents didn't
You need to cook!" Wang Zhengfei said. Not only has Wang Zhengfei been able to cook for many years, he can even be said to have traveled through time and space.
"Because I was studying outside by myself at that time, and sometimes I would eat food in the cafeteria. At that time, I would choose to cook by myself, and my cooking skills were honed at that time!
"Wang Zhengfei told a little lie here. In fact, he didn't learn it when he was in school. It should be said that in his previous life, when he went out to find a job, it was cheaper to eat at home than to eat out every meal.
