November 24th, there is still one week left until November.
In the past, the Lunar New Year box office boom, which would officially break out in December, also started early due to the large number of blockbusters.
"The Stolen Five Years", released on the 8th, took in a box office of 29 million in the third five working days. Compared with last week's 118 million, the drop must be more than 50%.
However, the total box office in the 16 days since its release has reached 277 million, and there will be no problem breaking 300 million.
The film's reputation is also pretty good, with scores above 6 on professional websites and more than 110,000 people rating it.
Although the ratings of these professional movie websites are not very accurate, the large number of ratings and good ratings can basically reflect the movie's reputation among the audience.
Shonan Channel's "Kuai Ben: Happy Home" was released for 15 days, and the box office exceeded the 100 million mark, and the box office trend rarely showed a cliff-like decline, which can be regarded as setting a record for a movie starring the Kuai Ben team.
Although the reputation has been bad, the box office is still relatively stable, which can be regarded as box office appeal.
Beginning with "Tiny Times" in July, "The Wind Listener" in August, and "Chill" in October, plus these two movies, is there a shadow of Han and Tang Media in the entire second half of the year?
However, during the Lunar New Year period, all the big names gathered together and blockbusters were released one after another.
The first one is the 3D remake of "2012", and Colombia wants to make a fortune.
"2012" was once the champion in mainland film history, beating "Transformers 2" and "The Chinese Partner" which were released in the summer of the same year.
In addition, the remake of "Titanic" has a good effect, and the momentum before its release is not small.
However, the box office can only be considered average, with only 19 million. For the first-day box office, which is now easily 40 to 50 million, it did not meet expectations.
Immediately after Li's "Life of Pi" hit the domestic film market, theaters were not optimistic about the film, and only gave it 23% of the film's schedule, which was two points lower than "2012", which plummeted at the box office.
Judging from the information revealed before the movie, this is the only treatment he can get. After all, the protagonist is still an Indian.
The box office of 13 million on the first day was not bad. On the second day, it took advantage of the high reputation and won 20 million in one fell swoop, overtaking "2012" to win the daily box office championship.
However, "2012" only received 60 million at the box office in its four days of release, and 41 million in the next three days. Compared with the 19 million on the first day, it was basically about to collapse.
The big hit of "Pi" is inevitable. Just after mentioning Arnie, the increase has reached 50%. This is the data obtained when only 24% of the films are scheduled.
"2012" has been cut in half, coupled with "The Stolen Five Years" and "Kuaiben: Happy Home" has been released in the later stages. There will be no shortage of films scheduled in the week after "Pi", and there will definitely be a surge in sales.
No one expected the huge hit of "Pi". The strong reputation and impressive box office made Li Yin once again prove his domestic box office capabilities.
In comparison, the US$7 million first-day performance in North America was a bit tepid, at least not worth the US$120 million production cost.
Fortunately, the sales in other regions around the world are pretty good. Indus made a million dollars on the first day, becoming the best opening record in the region after "Avatar".
Treasure Island’s first day sales were US$350,000.
The first day in Hong Kong was US$450,000.
Currently, it has only been released in these five regions around the world, and the box office on the first day was pretty good. However, it is not certain whether the production cost of US$120 million can be recovered from the box office.
A movie with such a large investment is based on the fact that Li Bian has already messed up a big production before. It can be said that the success or failure of this movie is related to whether he can return to the mainstream Hollywood film industry.
Apart from Li Jian and the investors, the most nervous one is probably Huayi.
Wang Zhongjun is not in a good mood right now. He had originally scheduled "1942" to be released at the end of November, staggering the schedules of "Twelve Zodiac" and "Longling Labyrinth", and at the same time forming a pincer attack on the other film.
.
But now everything is disrupted. The outbreak of "Pi" has become a troublemaker, and "1942" will face a double attack from "Pi" and "Longling Cave".
Early in the morning on the 24th, after receiving the box office data, Wang Zhongjun immediately held a meeting to once again emphasize the promotion and distribution of the film.
Although I have absolute confidence in "1942", facing the attack of two blockbuster movies, I have to be cautious not to overturn the ship.
...
Over in Xiangjiang, Xu Zheng took the crew back to the capital, and he had to hurry up and finish the post-production of the film.
Tang Yan also wanted to participate in the promotion of "Longling Mysterious Cave", so Wang Baoqiang and the others simply went to Baodao together.
This time the Golden Horse Awards were held in Yiran County. After getting off the plane, Chen Guofu was already waiting.
Although the award ceremony will be held tomorrow night, I did not stop in Taibei and got on the bus and headed straight to Yiran County.
In the car, Tang An asked about the situation of the Golden Horse Awards.
"Old Chen, have you finished selecting the awards?"
Chen Guofu said, "Most of them have been selected. Several awards will undergo final judging this morning. I guess there won't be a big problem."
As a Baodao filmmaker, although Chen Guofu has not participated in the selection of the Golden Horse Awards, he knows this award very well.
There are about fifteen final judges, at least half of whom are Baodao film workers every year. This year, there are two judges from the mainland, three from Hong Kong, and ten from Baodao.
Basically, the selection was made behind closed doors. With Jiao Xiongping and Chen Guofu here, they were enough to influence most of the Baodao film industry.
The place is only that big, and there are only so many people walking around in it.
However, most awards around the world are the same. The number of judges is small, and it is too easy to be publicized. It just depends on which award is more attractive, and there is nothing to say.
Although Mainland films basically win more awards at the Golden Horse Awards every year, among the four awards, a Baodao film or a film related to Baodao must win one.
One of the four awards must be from Baodao, sometimes two or even three.
Tang An secretly shook his head. Winning this award actually doesn't mean much. Whether he wins it or not, he is still the number one director in the country. It is of no use internationally. It might as well be that "Interstellar" will be a global hit next year and reach the top of the global box office.
ten.
Gong Li had a Golden Image Queen, a Golden Rooster and a Hundred Flowers Queen, but she still lacked a Golden Horse Queen. She was tricked into joining the show the year after, and ended up being tricked once.
"Right."
Chen Guofu mentioned another matter, "Cheng Jiashang and Zheng Zhiwei have been moving around a lot in the past two days. They have met with several judges several times, trying to cause some trouble."
"He's still pestering me. He's a mad dog."
Tang An was speechless. These two were like mangy dogs, following them wherever they went.
There was no way to deal with them in Tang'an, Xiangjiang, and we didn't have much time to spare. Unexpectedly, they were still there.
Tang An thought for a while and said, "His daughter seems to be the host of this year's Golden Horse Awards. Can she be replaced?"
Chen Guofu hesitated for a moment and was about to nod.
Tang An then said, "Forget it, if Zheng Zhiwei wants to dance, just let him dance. Forget it if you ignore him. Lao Chen, after you return to the capital after the Golden Horse Awards, ask Mr. Ya to write Annie's short story "July and Ansheng" The film and television rights for the novel have been obtained, and I think I acted in a drama last year, but the film and television rights should still be there."
""July and Ansheng"? No problem, I'll talk to President Ya later." Chen Guofu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
It is not easy to replace Zheng Baoyi as the host of Golden Horse. This host is not a big deal, but she is the host who is highly praised by Zhang Xiaoyan, the first sister of Baodao Variety Show. If she really needs to be replaced, she will have to pay a big price.
As for the film and television rights for a short novel, that's a piece of cake. No matter who it is, you can get it by spending a little more money, and it's not a big IP.
Tang An didn't say anything else, he opened a bottle of water and took a big gulp, shaking his head secretly.
I feel like I have become a little inflated recently. First, I was ranked 11th on the Forbes rich list. There were a lot of interviews, with national prefixes, and many media affiliated with the Propaganda Department, talking about the development prospects and future of the film and television industry.
Special interviews with the four major portal websites, interviews with Forbes Chinese website, pointing out the country to the camera.
When they rejected Xiang Huaqiang in Xiangjiang, they were straightforward, not tactful at all, and left no room for error.
When I first came to Baodao, I had to replace the host of the Golden Horse Awards.
It's really a bit arrogant, so it's better to keep a low profile.
Although with his current ability in the film and television industry, it is not impossible to be domineering, but if he does something every two days, it would be a living target, it would be too eye-catching.
But we can't just let these two people go. "July and Ansheng" was filmed by Zheng Zhiwei's son. Let's cut off the hair first and let his son continue to attack.
We will see if any of the movies he starred in in the next two years have high investment, and we will do some negative marketing. We and the four theater shareholders of Wuzhou Distribution will cut off the schedule of the movies he participated in.
I guess there's no need to go into the dark side. Originally, I couldn't be more excited about the movies made by Zheng Zhiwei.
As for the black man himself, it affects river crabs.
As for Cheng Jiashang, he is also planning to film "Four Famous Catchers 2". Without the leading actor, he will risk his life to film it!
...
After arriving in Yiran, Tang An met with Jiao Xiongping, and at the same time Xiao Xian, Yang Decang, Zhan Hongzhi and other well-known filmmakers from Baodao met.
After staying there for a day, Liu Ye, Li Binbin and others came in the evening.
On the evening of the next day, Tang An took everyone from the hotel to Luodong Cultural Stadium to attend the Golden Horse Awards evening party.
Not many mainland stars and directors come, most of them are artists from Baodao and Xiangjiang.
At the entrance of the red carpet, the two hosts Huang Bo and Zheng Baoyi were talking together, probably preparing for the next collaboration.
Zheng Baoyi's father, Zheng Zhiwei, and several Xiangjiang movie theaters were also nearby. They also saw Tang An when he arrived.
Tang An didn't say hello, nodded to Huang Bo, and stepped onto the red carpet.
Zheng Zhiwei in the crowd looked at Tang An's back coldly, his short figure with a sense of joy actually had a certain aura to him.
In the past two days, he has contacted more than a dozen judges of the Golden Horse Awards. No matter it is Zhang Wanting, Chen Gufang from Xiangjiang, or Liu Dehua, the chairman of the jury, they have not clearly rejected it.
There were also several Baodao judges, all of whom he contacted through his daughter's boss, and he often arranged bad things about Tang An!
