The strong public opinion generated by "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has kept the summer movie very popular.
In the second week from the 1st to the 7th, "I'm Not a Medicine God" took a super high box office of 511 million in seven days. This is because "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)" occupied a lot of film schedules.
.
As the last part of this popular series that has spread all over the world, it has special commemorative significance. It has become a huge hit overseas, with sales exceeding 350 million in North America and nearly 80 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.
However, in the mainland market, the world is still dominated by "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Even if there are new blockbusters released, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" still accounts for more than 50% of the film schedule.
And "Transformers 3" experienced a big dive in the third week, with only 150 million box office left, and the total box office was just 900 million.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)", compared to the previous one which only received 120 million in the mainland, this time it sold 170 million in the first four days.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" received 836 million in two weeks, only 70 million behind "Transformers 3".
On Monday of the third week, the trend of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is still strong, earning 40 million in a single day. This is the data of "Transformers 3" on Monday of the second week.
On Monday of its fourth week, "Transformers 3" only had 10 million left at the box office.
On Tuesday, half-price day, there was a significant increase in the box office, with 46 million in a single day.
42 million on Wednesday and 39 million on Thursday.
It received a total of 167 million in four working days, and the total box office in the 14 days of release came to 1.003 billion.
The first Chinese-language film to exceed one billion was born!
After breaking a series of box office records, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" finally became the first Chinese-language film to gross over 1 billion!
Moreover, "Transformers 3" only received 35 million in four days, and its total box office in 22 days was only 935 million, which is less than one billion.
The second highest box office in film history, the box office champion in Chinese film history, the 2011 summer season champion, and even the annual box office champion can be booked in advance!
Li Qian fulfilled half of what he said, but when the day actually came, everyone was still in a daze.
"That's one billion?"
This is a question that arises unconsciously in everyone's mind.
When major companies see this number, they feel extremely dazzling. In fact, starting from the release of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" half a month ago, they will be stimulated every day when they see the new day's box office. And as the
The higher the cumulative box office is, the more intense the excitement will be!
The only consolation is that in order to avoid "Transformers 3", major companies are basically not releasing any movies during the summer holiday.
However, Yu Dong is an exception. "Overheard 2" which he is very much looking forward to will be released next week. Judging from the situation of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", it is estimated that it will still be affected to a certain extent.
The other group of people who were stimulated were, of course, the great directors.
Ma Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, Chen Kexin, Wu Yusen, Li An...
Every great director, no matter what his character and temperament, will never be indifferent to the box office.
With a "pop" sound, Ma Xiaogang dropped another ceramic cup worth thousands. If the floor hadn't been solid, it would have had to be replaced.
Zhang Yimou glanced at the news, sighed, and immediately went to work on the editing of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".
Brother Cheng Kai, who is currently writing the script for his new film "Search", has so many thoughts that he has no intention of creating.
Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts" has been in theaters for a month, and the box office has reached 150 million, which is a little higher than the cost.
Although he made money from it and did not lose money, the box office failure was real.
Beginning with "If You Love", which was well received, several films such as "The Sign of the Name", "October Siege", "Martial Arts", and "The Beauty of the Country" all failed at the box office. Not to mention that the film "The Beauty of the Country" was purely in name.
, it is correct to say that "Martial Arts" and "October Siege" are his films.
But all failed and no one made a profit.
Chen Kexin was meditating and fell to the ground. What did the mainland audience want to see?
After thinking for a while, he turned on the computer and watched all Li Qian's movies again.
Wu Yusen, who was discussing the plot with several screenwriters and the original author, always couldn't help but think of the billion-dollar box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and became increasingly irritated.
Li An was also amazed by the crew of "Life of Pi". One billion yuan, nearly 200 million US dollars. Even he who won the Oscar for Best Director has never received this box office.
...
No matter how the industry views the billion-dollar box office of "I'm Not a Medicine God" and Li Qian, for the media, this is something worth writing about.
Countless press releases flew to every corner of the Internet like snowflakes, and countless praises were heaped on Li Qianhe's film.
"Comedies can also make people cry. The box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" exceeded 1 billion, surpassing "Transformers 3", and it is scheduled to be the box office champion in 2011 in advance!"
"A single-day box office record for a Chinese-language film, a first-day box office record, a first-week box office record, a single-week box office record in mainland film history, and the fastest box office to break one billion... "I'm Not a Medicine God" has created a series of records that are difficult to reach.
After that, it finally reached the top and became the first Chinese-language film to have a box office of over 1 billion!"
"China's box office should belong to Chinese filmmakers. When Li Qian shouted this sentence a month ago, many people thought it was just for publicity. But today, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has only been released for half a month.
One billion is not far away from the box office record of "Avatar". I believe that Chinese filmmakers will eventually regain their own record!"
"The reputation of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has taken off at the box office and is unstoppable. Li Qian is called the well-deserved box office king!!!"
"A well-deserved master of commercial films, Li Qian uses the description method of commercial films to perfectly tell a practical issue related to people's livelihood!"
""I'm Not the God of Medicine" is undisputedly the best Chinese film in the past ten years. There has never been any film that can combine business and reality so perfectly. Some people may say that it is not artistic enough, but I think this film is
It is art, and its meaning even exceeds art."
.......
Master of commercial films, perfect films, the best films of the decade, transcending the meaning of art... Let’s read the book
When you succeed, countless praises will naturally come to you.
Li Qian continued his roadshow tour amid this acclaim, and also began his journey north, taking another route back to the capital.
On Monday the 15th, I ended my 20-day roadshow trip and returned to Beijing. The rest of the promotion will be mainly in Beijing.
In the third week of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" continued to be a box office hit, earning 166 million in the three-day weekend.
Including the 167 million in the first four days, the total box office in the third week reached 333 million, and the total box office in the 18 days of release also reached 11.69, continuing to refresh the box office record of Chinese-language movies created by itself.
In the third week of release, it could still get 333 million. This is a figure that no movie can match in its first week. Even many movies cannot get this figure after a month of release.
In the past week, the new film "The Smurfs" earned 85 million in five days.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)" earned 110 million in its second week.
"Transformers 3" received 70 million in its fourth week, with a total box office of 970 million, failing to break 100 million.
The total of the three movies is only 265 million, which is not as high as "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
This summer, it is no exaggeration to say that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has swept through all the imported blockbusters!
...
As soon as he returned to the capital, Li Qian came to see Han Sanping. He had made several phone calls in the past few days.
"Director Han, thank you for your help during this time. You helped me withstand the pressure from above." Li Qian gave Han Sanping a toast sincerely.
Regardless of whether he is overbearing, a mountain bastard, a mountain top, or whatever, at least as a filmmaker and as the helmsman of China Film Corporation, a national company, he is for the good of Chinese-language films and the film industry.
Even though he was pursuing political achievements and was utilitarian, his original intention was to benefit the domestic film industry, and he did a lot of things.
For the CEO of the largest state-owned enterprise in the industry, it is enough to do this for one day.
Otherwise, for a movie like "Transformers 3", with China Film's high share, it directly and indirectly controls 50% of the theaters, if it is for money, it can be suppressed and all the film schedules are given to "Transformers 3" instead of "Transformers 3".
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" surpassed the number of films scheduled two days after its release, and exceeded 50% after three days.
"Haha, Director Li is being polite. In fact, there is nothing above. I just asked you not to make too much noise." Han Sanping shook his head and clinked a drink with Li Qian.
Li Qian said, "Director Han, I'm not making a fuss."
"That's why nothing happened. Plus, we were on the news network in advance, so they didn't say anything." Han Sanping said with a smile.
Although there was indeed a little pressure, Han Sanping was in a very good mood during this period and was not unhappy at all.
It was on the news network in the first few days of its release. Unless something big happens, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will be fine.
The box office has now exceeded 1.1 billion. It has exceeded Han Sanping's idea and is only one step away from surpassing "Avatar". That is complete.
And, more importantly, after achieving such results, Li Qian can still be so calm. If it were Ma Xiaogang, he would have been so crazy in front of the media. That would not be the case now.
Break the sky.
It was Li Qian's restraint and not saying anything too much that kept the current public opinion within the acceptable range of the higher authorities. He only gave a warning through Han Sanping.
People who are capable, sensible, and don't cause trouble are also liked by superiors.
Li Qian doesn't want to cause trouble. Although the government does have shortcomings, it is good to improve slowly. It is impossible for such a large country to be without problems.
"Director Han, do you have any opinions on the pharmaceutical industry?" Li Qian asked after hesitating.
"What do you think?" Han Sanping was a little surprised.
"It's just that the relevant system is not perfect enough. Is there any rumor about it?"
"You mean?"
Han Sanping's eyes narrowed and he understood instantly. He thought about it and shook his head, "Do you want to change the national system with just one movie?"
"I have this idea. Will the government pay attention to today's public opinion?" Li Qian also admitted, and there was nothing bad to say.
"impossible."
Han Sanping shook his head. After working in the industry for so many years, it can be said that he has a 100% understanding of the industry. A dozen years ago, a phenomenal movie could get the attention of the cabinet and even be interviewed by the cabinet leaders.
But now, the commercialization of movies is basically non-existent, unless it sells billions of dollars in global sales.
"Li Qian, I advise you to accept this idea. The current public opinion is within the scope allowed by the superiors. If you want public opinion to force the superiors to adapt policies and incite netizens, public opinion will only be detrimental to you."
Han Sanping directly called Li Qian's name and said with a hint of warning, "Keep the status quo, don't say what shouldn't be said, just let the people vent, don't think about anything else, let alone do it, to everyone
all good."
After all, it is young people who have such whims that they actually try to intimidate public opinion and force the government.
...
Li Qian was somewhat disappointed that he didn't get what he wanted from his meeting with Han Sanping.
It is also reasonable. Public opinion can indeed influence the country, but it must reach a certain level. "I am not the God of Medicine" is not enough now.
However, the next day, a shocking secret suddenly broke out on the Internet.
Someone broke the news that in order to open up drug sales channels and increase drug prices, the pharmaceutical giant KSG used travel agencies and other channels to transfer more than 2 billion to officials, pharmaceutical industry associations and foundations, hospitals, doctors, etc. since 2007!
The whistleblower claims to be a KSG insider and has submitted evidence and reports to relevant departments.
The pharmaceutical giant that is currently sensitive has once again detonated the Internet by withdrawing 2 billion yuan in foreign exchange for many years, involving the entire industry chain.
PS: This case was reported internally in early 2013, and was reported in July 2013. From the beginning of 2007 to 2013, the total amount of remittances was 3 billion. It was considered as an advance due to the butterfly effect. Anyway, what I wrote was about China, not China.
