China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 352: Shock, sweep, box office!

He admitted that of course his own "Mirror" cannot be compared with "Coco". It is not on the same level at all. The other party's film schedule is 75%, while "Mirror" only has 3.5%, but 87 box office versus 1.6 million?
"Magic Mirror" isn't that bad, right?
Right?
"Today's audiences follow the trend in everything they do. If others say yes, they will follow suit. If others go to see "Coco", they will follow suit, regardless of whether the movie is suitable or not. Own."

Huashang Media Office Building.

Several young female employees who were gathering together and whispering looked very excited.

"My little niece called me just now and said, 'Is "Coco" really made by your company?' Actually, we are not the same company as Manwu Animation, but we have the same boss after all, so I said yes, and it turns out you Guess what? My little niece said, 'Auntie, you are so awesome, you can make such beautiful animations.'"

"My sister has also watched the movie. According to her, she cried a lot during the movie."

"The box office data seems to be exploding. Maybe we will see the miracle created by "Frozen" again."

"Anyway, if the global box office exceeds 10 billion US dollars, it will definitely be stable."

At this time, a staff member suddenly said:
"The boss is here."

Upon seeing this, a group of people hurriedly dispersed, and then saw Li Mu and Liu Siying walking over together.

"It's hard to say now that it hasn't been released in North America yet. The domestic market is definitely stable. The box office growth on the first day was very fast, and it has basically reached our previous best evaluation results."

"It's a good start, but we can't take it lightly. For films with the same first-day box office, but with different reputations, their final box office may even differ several times."

"When it comes to word-of-mouth, there is no problem. Now the outside world is basically unanimously positive. Douban has not released a score yet, but a score of 9 is almost stable. If it is more ideal, the final score may even reach 9.3."

"You are a bit too optimistic. The quality of "Coco" is definitely good, but it is not yet able to get such a high score. It would be good if it can stabilize at 9.1 in the end."

"Even if it only scores 9.1, it will definitely be in the top 250 of Douban Movies TOP30."

The two of them walked through the crowd while talking. When the figures disappeared behind the office door, the group of female employees just started discussing in low voices again.

"Wow... so handsome!"

"I want to give him a child, even if I don't have a title!"

"Do your Spring and Autumn Dream!"

"If you speak louder, it's best for the boss to hear. He may call you privately in a few days."

"Aren't you afraid that Liu Yifei's fans will catch the mistress for your idol!"

"Hahaha……"

……

the next day.

A hotel room.

Bernard boss Yu Dong, director Cao Baoping, actors Deng Chao, Duan Yihong, Guo Tao, Wang Luodan and others raised glasses to celebrate the film "Heart of the Sun" officially breaking the 4 million yuan box office mark.

"cheers!"

"I didn't expect to get 4 million at the box office. For a movie with this theme, this kind of achievement is not easy!"

"The box office is second, but the most important thing is the audience's high recognition of our film."

"The Douban score is 8.3, and the acting skills of the entire cast have been well received. This movie will keep you entertained for a long time."

"As soon as I read the script, I immediately fell in love with the story. What I thought at the time was that I had to get the role, and it didn't matter how much the salary was. Really, I thought at the time, with such a good script, as long as it works properly, it's impossible for the audience to like it. Don’t you like it? I was still very nervous at the time, but now I’ve come to realize that the final effect presented to the audience was even better than my best estimate at the time.”

"The movie has a good box office and a good reputation, but this is by no means the upper limit of this movie. The Baodao Golden Horse Awards ceremony will be held in two months. We will continue to celebrate when the movie wins the Golden Horse Award."

"Mr. Yu, do you think we can really win the Golden Horse Award this time?"

"It's hard to say, but how do you know if you don't give it a try?"

"Then I wish us success and win the Golden Horse Award!"

"A great start, winning the Golden Horse, cheers!"

It was another round of toasting.

"By the way, "Coco" directed by Li Mu has been stealing the show these past two days. It is an animated film set on the Day of the Dead in Mexico. It made our countrymen cry after watching it. It is also awesome. force."

"It is true that there are rumors in the circle that this movie made the old men and women on the review committee, whose average age is over 60 years old, cry after watching it. I don't know if it is true or not. This movie has an evil nature."

"My wife watched the movie and it was said that it was really good."

"Can we be wrong? Our "Scorching Sun" was considered a big success. As a result, the box office was 4 million in one month, and "Coco" was 2.85 million on the first day of release. It seems that today's single-day box office will definitely break the 3 million, it’s really irritating that people are more powerful than people.”

"I'm not angry. We are not on the same track as Li Mu at all. If we compete with him, we will only make ourselves unhappy."

"Has this movie been rated on Douban? It seems like it won't get a rating of 9 or above."

“Douban hasn’t released the score yet, but judging from the explosion of word-of-mouth, it’s estimated to be above 9.1.”

“Don’t be fooled by the fact that this movie’s box office, ratings, and Oscars all boasted in the end.”

"Don't say it, I think it's really possible!"

……

The home of great director Chen Kaige.

Director Chen turned on his computer and saw hot news. The title made his eyelids jump.

"Great directors cannot rest on their laurels. Chinese films need more Li Mu rather than more Chen Kaige."

"Oh shit!"

The great director was so angry that he cursed.

"What's wrong?" His wife Chen Hong came over and asked.

"Reporters are spreading nonsense again. These people are just afraid that the world will not be in chaos!"

Chen Hong took a look at the news content and knew that it was definitely criticizing Brother Chen Kai and his movies without even having to read it.Specifically, the movie "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" has now become a bad movie recognized by netizens, and the one being compared is of course "Coco", which is currently in theaters.

"It's been more than a month since the movie was released. Why are these people bringing it up again?"

Director Chen snorted heavily: "You still have to ask? "Coco" was released yesterday, and it is said that the reputation is very good. Humph! Netizens say that "Farewell My Concubine" is ostensibly a movie of my brother Chen Kai, but in fact it is Forget about my father’s movies, I have been wronged by netizens for so many years, but what about now?
""Coco" is said to be Li Mu's movie, but how deeply involved is he actually? The film production cycle lasted nearly three years. During these three years, Li Mu also made a lot of other movies. Could it be that He, Li Mu, has three heads and six arms? "Coco" is so obviously named after Li Mu, but in fact the real director is Tian Xiaopeng, but what happened? Netizens didn't even dare to mention it this time!"

Chen Hong said: "Netizens know nothing. Why don't they just believe what others say? They are just dumping things wherever the wind blows. That is to say, Li Mu's luck is good now. You wait for him in the future." Which movie hits the street, and netizens may criticize it harshly."

Director Chen Kaige nodded: "Sooner or later!"

"By the way, have the ratings for "Coco" been released?"

"Let me see - it's out, 9.4 points!"

"So high?" Brother Chen Kai was surprised.

Chen Hong didn't take it seriously: "No matter how high it is, it can't be higher than our movie. "Farewell My Concubine" is ranked second in the TOP250 of Douban movies, with a score of 2, only 9.6 points lower than "The Shawshank Redemption."

Brother Chen Kai's face brightened slightly when he heard this.yes!

No matter how high the rating is, can it be higher than "Farewell My Concubine"?
The highest rating of a domestic film is always his "Farewell My Concubine". No one and no film can shake this.

And he has always been the only Palme d'Or winner in China!
……

Yang Mi, who was attending a brand endorsement event somewhere, walked off the stage, and her assistant hurriedly put on a coat for her.

"Sister Mi, the Douban score of "Coco" that you asked me to watch is up." The assistant hurriedly reported the report as soon as she put her coat on Yang Mi.

"Did the score finally come out? How much did you get? Did you get 9 points?"

"It's better, and it's even better."

"More ideal?"

"As of now, the Douban score is 9.4."

The corners of Yang Mi's lips raised, and she couldn't help but smile: "It's really amazing!"

The little assistant nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's really amazing. Many netizens said they cried while watching it. Sister Mi, why are we, Director Li, so awesome?"

Yang Mi smiled slightly: "Where is my mobile phone?"

The assistant hurriedly handed over the phone. Yang Mi took it and started typing. Of course she wanted to congratulate her boss on the success of his new movie.

……

Huayi Brothers.

Wang Zhongjun's eyelids jumped after looking at the box office data of "Coco".

"It's so fucking profitable, more profitable than fucking buying land and building buildings!"

In recent years, the Wang brothers thought it was too slow to make money by making movies, so they expanded their business, started capital operations, and even started real estate. They say real estate makes money. Real estate makes money. But look at Li Mu, who shoots a movie in a single day. The box office revenue is always 2 million 3 million.

Where is the slowness in making money from making movies?

I have never seen such a profitable business!
……

The movie-watching storm of "Coco" has officially formed. The box office on the first day was 2.85 million, the next day was 3.14 million, and the third day was 3.27 million. The cumulative box office on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was 9.26 million. It was a close call. 10!
Netizens shouted: "Making money, making fucking money!"

Someone asked: "How much money can Li Mu get?"

Some people said: "In the past, Li Mu's movie share ratio was higher than others, but now the difference is not big. He should be able to get about 43%, and the box office of 10 billion is more than 4 million."

“It’s really profitable!”

Another sigh.

movie box office.

""Coco" has been released for three days. Li Mu said before that although he didn't know who created the three awesome movies, he was willing to try to complete two of them. Do you think Li Mu can succeed this time? ?”

"The possibility is quite high! Three awesome things, one is a Douban score of 9. Needless to say, this has been realized now. Not only has it been realized, but it has also been exceeded.

"The other one is that the global box office has exceeded 10 billion US dollars. Now the domestic box office is almost 3 billion US dollars in 10 days. The final box office will be about 4 to 5 million US dollars, right? I haven't seen the data of the film in North America, but North America is currently the world's No. 2 box office With a large ticket bank and Li Mu’s reputation in North America, it’s not too much to get $3 million to $10 million, right? Add in other overseas markets, and $[-] billion is still quite a chance.”

"Awesome! What about Oscar? I hope to see Li Mu realize all the three awesome things that others have boasted about."

"Don't even think about Oscars. Let me state it in advance. I don't think "Coco" is not good enough. In terms of quality, this movie is definitely good enough. Whether it's the Best Animated Feature Film or the Best Original Score, it's enough. Yes, I watched the English version, and I have to say that the theme song "Remember Me" in the English version is absolutely amazing, but whether it will win the award in the end involves too many factors other than the movie."

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether it wins an Oscar or not, as long as the box office is high enough."

……

Suddenly there are many spiritual shareholders of Huashang Media on the Internet. These people are simply more concerned about the box office data of Li Mu's movies than Li Mu.

"There is a problem with the film schedule in North America. "Hotel Transylvania 2" was released on the same day as "Coco". Both of them are animated films and both are large-scale productions. Isn't this a lose-lose strategy?"

"They must be accommodating our domestic schedule. "Coco" has a good domestic schedule. It basically sweeps the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day schedules. Only "Mission: Impossible 5" can barely compete, and it has been released for more than half a month. The heat is over.”

"I feel that the world's largest film market will soon become our country, and film schedules will definitely become more and more domestic-dominated."

"The key is that releasing two animated movies together really affects the box office potential."

"The global box office of "Hotel Transylvania 1" is less than 3.6 million U.S. dollars. Even if the second part is more popular, it should only be more than 4 million. It is estimated that it will be difficult to reach 5 million. "Coco" is still very promising. "

"You are really optimistic. US$4-5 million is already very impressive. Before Li Mu, very few domestic films were afraid of breaking US$1 million."

"You also said it was before Li Mu, isn't this now after Li Mu?"

"That's right. Li Mu's chances of winning are indeed not small, but no one can say for sure without specific data."

"The data should have been out a long time ago, but I haven't found it yet."

"It has indeed come out. The three-day data for the first weekend in North America. I just saw it on Souhu Entertainment."

"It's out? How many? Please take a screenshot!"

"The results are not bad, 5791 million US dollars, last week's weekend box office champion."

"What is this result? If you know more about it, please remember that "The Hunger Games" always had over 2 million or even close to [-] million in its first week."

"It's not bad. You can't compare animated movies with fan movies. Most of the box office of fan movies is concentrated in the first few days. Animated movies are for the long term."

"I can rest assured that."

""Hotel Transylvania 2" ranked second with US$4750 million, and "The Intern" ranked third with US$1882 million. Li Mu's influence in North America is still very large."

"How is the film's reputation in North America?"

"It's quite explosive. The theater gave it the highest A+ rating, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 97%. 81% of viewers said they would recommend the film to their friends, and 23% said they would watch it a second time."

"You will definitely not guess which country has the third largest ticket sales for "Coco"."

"Mexico!"

"Damn it, it's accurate!"

"You still have to ask? There are too many Mexican elements in the whole movie."

"In a market as small as Mexico, it actually grossed more than 3 million U.S. dollars at the box office in three days of release."

……

3天内地票房破9亿，4天破12亿，10天23亿，海外首周末3天5791万美元，次周末3150万美元，北美两周累计票房1.32亿美元。

The overseas box office outside of North America was also exceptionally good, with a cumulative total of US$1.93 million, and a total overseas box office of US$3.25 million. Counting domestic box office, the total global box office of the film in the two weeks after its release was US$6.78 million.
