Chapter 404 'Snow Leopard - Part 1' grossed 840 million at the box office
With the support of the government, it is naturally beneficial at home, but if you want to develop abroad, if the imprint of the government is too serious, it will be very disadvantageous. This is the case in any country and region, so if you want to go abroad,
If you leave, the traces of the political ax should not be too heavy. This is inevitable and necessary.
It should be said that each has its own pros and cons. As long as limited support is what Xingchen Entertainment needs, too much attention will cause more harm than good. As for political ax becoming a shareholder, it is even more undesirable. Otherwise,
I would rather choose not to need support from the government.
In Taiwan, although the Kuomintang is no longer in power, it cannot be denied that the influence of the Kuomintang on Taiwan affairs is still there. No one can deny the influence of the previous ruling party. With the secret fueling of the Kuomintang bosses,
The box office of "Snow Leopard - Part 1" has also been rising in Taiwan. Coupled with Wang Zhengfei's own super influence, the box office in Taiwan finally reached an astonishing US$40 million.
The box office of "Snow Leopard" in South Korea and Southeast Asia is also quite good, reaching 30 million and 35 million US dollars respectively. The most surprising thing this time is Japan. In Wang Zhengfei's "Qin Shi Mingyue"
Among the two films, Japan has always been the main box office contributor, usually accounting for half of the country. It can be said that Star Entertainment is extremely important. However, this time Japan's box office is unprecedentedly lower than that of the mainland, just over
The total box office revenue was US$45 million, which can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.
But if you look at the subject matter, it is undoubtedly a super miracle that a film about resistance to Japan can achieve a box office of 45 million US dollars in Japan. It is like a [***] film that can achieve box office in Japan
It is exaggerated that China has easily achieved a box office of over 100 million yuan. National sentiment is everywhere. Not to mention that during World War II, the Japanese people were innocent.
Xiang's ambition, and it was the fanatical nationalism that made Japan eventually become the source of the Asian war.
Therefore, it is actually a miracle that it has a box office of 45 million US dollars. This is what is called unexpected and reasonable.
The cumulative box office in Asia except East Asia is only over 50 million, which can only be regarded as okay. After all, this kind of nationalistic movie is not to everyone's taste.
In the end, the box office in Asia closed at 332 million U.S. dollars, which broke the expectations of many people. It even set a new box office record for "Qin Shi Mingyue", although this is not the same as "Qin Shi Mingyue".
"Qin Shi Mingyue" has not been released in as many regions in Asia as "Snow Leopard", and the theaters where it has been released are only half of "Snow Leopard". However, as a movie with such a theme, there is no doubt that it has created a big miracle.
, there is no doubt about it.
In North America, "Snow Leopard - Part 1" has also achieved quite good results. The box office has been soaring, breaking through 200 million US dollars. Europe is even better, reaching 230 million US dollars, plus some other zero-buckets such as Oceania and Africa.
The scattered box office gross totaled more than 80 million US dollars.
In other words, the final box office of "Snow Leopard - Part 1" reached 840 million. With this box office alone, it has already entered the top 20 in the history of box office, and it will definitely enter the top five in the 2007 annual box office.
It can even be said that it is in the top three. As for how many rankings it can get, it mainly depends on the situation of other movies this year. However, just at the beginning of the year, it has already formed a strong formation for all the movies that are interested in competing for the top few this year.
It is also the only one that can challenge Hollywood blockbusters and is a strong contender for the championship so far. It has caused countless Hollywood companies to cry wolf. This was actually done once last year. Last year, "
When "Qin Shi Mingyue" first emerged, several Hollywood company bosses had already expressed concern about it.
But last year was actually more of a casual remark. After all, although the world's film industry is now under the shadow of Hollywood, there are still one or two excellent movies that stand out from time to time. This is inevitable, but usually
It will only be a flash in the pan, and there is no way to systematically challenge Hollywood.
But things are different now. Wang Zhengfei’s first Hollywood movie, "The Moon in the Qin Dynasty - Part 1," ranked among the top ten at the box office of the year, and then "The Moon in the Palace - Part 2" ranked among the top 10 in the box office of the year.
Among the top three, it ranks second. Fortunately, there is also a "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. Otherwise, Hollywood would lose face and be beaten down at its own doorstep.
And if you really count it, this is not two movies at all, but one movie. Although it is claimed to be two parts and one series, anyone with a little common sense knows that this is obviously a split movie.
It is an excellent way to make money by releasing two movies. In other words, if you are willing to take advantage of others, you can also calculate the box office of the two movies and watch them together. If you do this, the entire Hollywood will lose face due to Wang Zheng.
All clean.
And at that time, it could only be said to be a flash in the pan, but now it is the second powerful movie, and what is even more deceiving is that it is also a movie split into two parts for release. This situation really makes Hollywood
Those bosses are envious and jealous. This film company in the East is a super cash cow. The box office of the movies it produces is also at the top level in the world. Even the top companies in Hollywood only produce one to two movies like this a year.
It’s just a small investment, and if you calculate the rate of return, it’s simply incomparable. You know, in China, an investment of 10 million US dollars is considered a large investment, but now in the United States, 100 million US dollars of movies are produced every year.
More than a dozen movies were released, and most of them were only able to break even. This made the bosses begin to hate the current Hollywood system. If it weren't for the ridiculously expensive labor costs, they could make more money.
.
Some people even think that if that doesn't work, they might as well just move to China. Of course, they can only think about it. If they leave Hollywood, or in other words, leave the United States, they will lose the super halo of Hollywood movies.
Maybe not many people will buy it by then.
Although the name of Hollywood movies is the result of the joint operation of countless film companies in Hollywood, it cannot be denied that the name of Hollywood movies has also brought them countless benefits. As long as it bears the name of Hollywood movies,
It will arouse the attention of countless people, which is unmatched by any film power in the world.
Now, although Star Entertainment has the strength to compete with any company in Hollywood in terms of high-end results, it can only compete with one company. However, there is not just one company behind the name Hollywood, but hundreds of companies working together.
By using this name and working hard for the glory of this name, it will be difficult for Star Entertainment to compete even if it is several times stronger.
But as a company, Xingchen Entertainment is already the best.
Now that Wang Zhengfei's second movie has continued to land strongly, many Hollywood bosses finally have a sense of crisis. You must know that they have become accustomed to Hollywood, and even the world's film industry, being in the shadow of the eight major Hollywood film companies.
Under the rule of the Communist Party of China, can this Eastern Company, which suddenly appears and may compete with them for leadership, not feel a sense of crisis?
I think back then, Sony was also very wealthy. Basically, it could be said that God would kill God and Buddha would kill Buddha. It fought its way out of the electrical appliance industry and bought the dying Columbia company in Hollywood. It thought that it could join the ranks of domination and become a film company.
The power at the top of the industrial chain.
But the facts prove that the Japanese think too simply. Things are not that simple. How can the Americans allow a Japanese to participate in their leadership of the world? Even though Sony is using the corpse of the Hollywood company Columbia Pictures as a backdoor
Listed on the market, but Hollywood film companies also do not allow Sony to participate in the games they have formulated, especially capital tycoons like Sony, which are also capital tycoons from Japan, giving them an instinctive fear that Sony is too
It is so powerful that it even makes them tremble, and there are too many such capital tycoons. I don’t know how many people on Wall Street are eyeing this piece of fat. If a hole is opened for Sony this time, in the blink of an eye,
Within a short period of time, the Hollywood film companies will be completely carved up by the capital giants on Wall Street. This is beyond doubt. None of them doubts the strength of the greedy giants on Wall Street.
And Sony lost tens of billions of dollars one after another, and the losses were almost internal injuries. Finally, it finally gained recognition and finally gained a foothold among the top companies in Hollywood. In other words, it should be said that it was a kind of helplessness.
The compromise of tens of billions of dollars is a serious enough figure for any company in Hollywood to close down, but for Sony it is just an internal injury. They have money, and if Sony is determined to spend it, no one will play.
Sorry.
And the current Star Entertainment feels very dangerous to them. Of course, there is no sense of crisis like when Sony invaded, but it is still extremely dangerous. The so-called colleagues are enemies, let alone such a powerful colleague.
