Chapter 271 Looking at Qin Shi for the sake of national dignity

That is to say, in just one day, "Qin Shi Ming Yue" swept the box office of 125 million yuan in East Asia, plus the Chinese language circle, this "Qin Shi Ming Yue" was released for eight days, rolling up the box office of 35 million, which immediately made everyone in the circle crazy.

How much is the investment in "Qin Shi Ming Yue"? Even if it is calculated according to the full 100 million yuan, the box office results have already recovered the cost and made a lot of money, and this is only the eighth day. As for what kind of results can be achieved in the future, they can't imagine the box office of more than 100 million yuan. In an era that is enough to be celebrated, there can be such a film that has grossed 350 million yuan at the box office all over Asia. How can it not attract the attention of others? Everyone was shocked. I didn't expect that Chinese films could sell so well. This is an unimaginable fact, but Wang Zhengfei sat down, and This has exceeded 350 million yuan before it is included in the sales performance of peripherals.

And with the release of a frenzy in Asia in the second week, countless people are looking forward to the miracle of "Qin Dynasty" to break through the miracle of "Titanic".

Of course, it's not Titanic's global box office performance. Titanic's 1.842 billion US dollar box office record was not broken until Wang Zhengfei's later Avatar was born. Naturally, Wang Zhengfei is not so ambitious, and in fact it is unlikely.

And Chinese filmmakers are not so arrogant. After all, according to the ratio of RMB to US dollar, even now, it is more than 10 billion, which is basically impossible to achieve.

However, there is another record, that is, Titanic's box office record in China. Titanic earned 43.93 million US dollars, or about 300 million yuan, in China that year.

Although it has been more than seven years, this standard of living is not the same as at that time, and it is a little invincible to win, but it is also because of this that makes those filmmakers more entangled and humiliated. Not to mention that Titanic, a third-level shipwreck, is a foreign film, let a Foreign films have always firmly held the first place in the domestic box office. What a humiliating thing it is. It is simply bullying no one in China, but what's more humiliating is that it has been seven years. For the film industry, seven years have changed almost a generation, and it has experienced a century of alternation. In the past seven years, it has come out. How many movies have been made, but no movie can compare with a third-class film that was sunken seven years ago. This kind of blow and humiliation is the most serious.

Of course, this situation is common in the hearts of filmmakers in various countries. It can only be said that "Titanic" at that time was too powerful, and in later generations, even "Avatar", which claims to have broken the invincible golden body of "Titanic", is actually just broken in numbers, including inflation factors. The film that James Cameron spent 14 years preparing is no better than Titanic, a third-class shipwreck.

Titanic, a third-class shipwreck, is like a dark cloud shrouded in the hearts of Chinese filmmakers. They not only hope that someone can break this record, but they don't want anyone to break this record. They want to break this record because after all, this is a foreigner's film, and the old man let foreigners ride on their heads. How can it be good? It's because no matter who broke this record, for them, it's just from an unreachable record to another equally unreachable record. In fact, there is no difference in essence.

And now "Qin Shi Ming Yue-Shang" is the most promising to break the record of the Titanic, a sunken third-class film in China. Titanic has a record of 300 million yuan in China, and now the box office of "Qin Shi Ming Yue-Shang" is already 220 million, although now although It has begun to be a little weak, but there is still a good chance to break the record of Titanic. Except for The Bright Moon of the Qin Dynasty, there is no hope in the movies released now.

But the problem is that the movie that has the ability to break the Titanic record is not their company's. This is what makes them most entangled. If it is their company's work, of course, the sooner it is broken, the better.

And if any company can have the reputation of such a 'Chinese box office record' holder, it is impossible to say the future development and attraction to talents. Wang Zhengfei is still very clear about this.

However, compared with the foresight of these film companies, those lovely fans will be more direct, just one word, top, how long will it wait for the movies in their own country at this time?

At this time, Gao Yan was also keenly aware of this, and immediately asked the company to make a big deal in this regard, and will watch "Qin Shi Ming Yue-Shang" to the level of national dignity.

Now watching "Qin Shi Ming Yue" is not only for a good time, but also to break the record of "Titanic". Watching movies for the sake of national dignity, we must not let this shipwreck third-level film always be at the top.

Support domestic products, support domestic movies, and watch movies for the dignity of the nation!

Such propaganda spread all over the streets and alleys overnight. All people suddenly saw this kind of propaganda overnight. Countless people were boiling. Although in this peaceful era, the blood of the Chinese people were suppressed, they were only suppressed. Many Chinese people were still very hot-blooded, not to mention not to mention for the sake of the nation. I just want to go to see a movie.

And the quality of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" itself is absolutely worthy of those ticket prices. The gorgeous pictures are far better than "Titanic". The background of the Chinese story, all this attracts countless people who have not seen it yet to go to the cinema, and even many people who have already seen it are also one after another. Go back to the cinema again to watch "Qin Shi Ming Yue".

Under the stunned eyes of the bigwigs in the entertainment industry, the blood of countless people was stimulated. The box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue", which was originally a little weak, once again showed an explosive development trend and went up all the way.

On the tenth day, the domestic box office reached 270 million, of which the box office in the mainland finally exceeded 200 million. As long as there is another 100 million box office, the box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue" in the mainland can break the record of "Titanic", and it is only ten days away from the release of "Qin Shi Mingyue".

At the same time, in Asia, the box office figures of the first three days have also been counted. The box office in Southeast Asia has exceeded 50 million, and the box office in South Korea has also reached 40 million, and the total box office in Japan is far more than everyone thinks. However, in just three days, the total box office has reached 180 million yuan. That is to say, in Asia, "Qin Shi Ming Yue" has reached a box office of 540 million with an unstoppable momentum, and Star Entertainment is even more happy. In just ten days, it has pushed the return on investment to a super high of nearly 200 percent.

Gao Yan, who was extremely happy, directly announced that Star Entertainment would pay an additional month's salary as an additional year-end bonus.

At this time, Wang Zhengfei, who was preparing for Snow Leopard, received a message from Gao Yan that a Hollywood company in the United States visited.

"Hollywood company looking for it?" Wang Zhengfei was a little surprised, "Which company is it?"

"Yes, it's Hollywood's Lionsgate Film Company that came to us!" Gao Yan's words are actually a little incredible. How could Lionsgate Pictures come to the door?

Wang Zhengfei, a Lionsgate film company, is blind, and I don't know what kind of company it is. Fortunately, Gao Yan has done quite a sufficient investigation in this regard.

Among them, Lionsgate Film Company is made by Frank, a local banker in Canada. Founded in 1997, Gusta is a Canadian entertainment company that originated in Vancouver, Canada. Headquartered in Santa Monica, California, USA, it covers the United Kingdom, Colombia, the United States and Canada. It is the most successful reading film and television company in business. The most recent successful work is the documentary Fahrenheit 911. Another Miramax film was founded by Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein brothers, and 93 by Walt. Disney's merger and acquisition is responsible for the release of niche films with higher or unpopular art surnames.

's works include "Men's Most Pain", "Gods and Demons", "Wrath of Heaven") and by Michael. The documentary "Hua's 911" directed by Michael Moore is still quite popular.

Speaking of these Wang Zhengfei, he remembered it, and he was not completely ignorant.

And Lionsgate Pictures usually acts for some Chinese films, such as "King of Kung Fu" that Wang Zhengfei was familiar with later, is also a work of Lionsgate Pictures. Although the overall quality of this film is average, after all, at least the leading actors are mostly Chinese, which is somewhat different.

Among so many companies in Hollywood, Lionsgate is actually a unique existence.

In terms of history and the share of the annual box office market, there are only six major film companies in Hollywood, including Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Disney Pictures and Universal Pictures.

Lionsgate Pictures, which are distinctive reading film companies, are small in scale, but have unique survival secrets. For example, Lionsgate Pictures occupies a certain market share every year by releasing small horror films such as the Saw series.

Compared with those big companies, Lionsgate is not very eye-catching, and it is far worse than his old employer, Disney.

However, under the circumstances of the ups and downs of Hollywood's companies and the establishment and closures, Lions Gate Pictures has emerged and has maintained good results. It even almost acquired the so-called MGM, a film studio later, which shocked many people, although Wang Zhengfei did not pay much attention to Hollywood at that time. I also heard the news.

Last year, MGM was acquired by Sony, Comcast and other joint conglomerates for a price of $2.85 billion - but this acquisition was mainly realized in the form of stock exchange. MGM did not receive real funds. At the same time, MGM's bonds increased significantly in the subprime crisis, that is, more debt. MGM's creditors are looking forward to an acquisition price of at least $2 billion, while the previous company was unwilling to pay too much, so the acquisition has not been settled.

MGM is Sony's second attempt after Columbia. Unlike Columbia, MGM's history is much more glorious. MGM Film Company has shot one of the best films in film history - Gone with the Gone with the Worlds, creating a long history. The unfailing screen classic - 007, which has shaped the immortal cartoon image - Tom and Jerry, initiated the establishment of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and launched the Academy Award (i.e. Oscar)... You know, any of the above achievements can make the company immortal, not to mention several myths. . The Lion Leo logo of MGM Pictures was once regarded as a symbol of the United States. Its superstars gathered and created the myth of releasing a film every week.

has the largest film library in Hollywood, of which 4,100 movies are its most valuable assets, which is the reason why Sony acquired it at the beginning. However, Sony's actions were collectively boycotted by Hollywood companies at the beginning, and even caused a panic among Americans at one time, and finally fell into everyone's boycott. He fled back to Japan.

Even if MGM is depressed, it is still a thin camel bigger than a horse, and Lionsgate Pictures's action immediately shocked many people. This small company is far more financially than ordinary people think.

Of course, Wang Zhengfei was not concerned about how rich Lions Gate Pictures was at that time, but was watching Sony's jokes that fled back. After several years, Sony, who finally grabbed MGM from a group of strong people, had to spit out this dish obediently. How much money was lost in the process? It is calculated by hundreds of millions of dollars.

And the reason why Wang Zhengfei has an impression of Lions Gate Pictures is precisely because of this matter. If it weren't for this matter, Wang Zhengfei would probably not have noticed Lions Gate Pictures. After all, Hollywood has too many brilliant film companies, and this company is too inconspicuous.

"Did they say what they meant?" Wang Zhengfei asked, there must be a reason why they suddenly came to the Sanbao Hall.

"Ye-en, it's said that it's for the North American agency distribution rights of "Qin Shi Mingyue"!" Gao Yan's tone was a little excited. He had to admit that Hollywood in the United States is the center of world movies. No matter which company does not want to log in to the United States and conquers the United States, the achievement is naturally needless to say!!

"North America, agency issuance right!" Wang Zhengfei muttered.
