Chapter 215: In Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, "Now You See Me" is still a big
"His movie really broke 4 million!"
Feng Xiaogang felt a little numb and his mind was a little confused.
At the same time, he was somewhat reluctant to admit that deep down in his heart, he was still very jealous!
Once upon a time, Feng Xiaogang was the box office ruler in the mainland.
自97年的《甲方乙方》夺得贺岁档冠军后，98年、99年、01年、03年、04年，也全部都是票房冠军。
So far, Feng Xiaogang has won the box office championship 10 times in the past 6 years!
This was when Feng Xiaogang had no films released in 02 and 05.
In other words, Feng Xiaogang made 10 movies in the past 8 years, and 6 of them became box office champions!
Even though they were not the two box office champions, their box office was actually very impressive, either ranking second or third.
So in terms of box office, Feng Xiaogang has never failed and his record is still very impressive.
It is no exaggeration to say that it dominated the Lunar New Year box office.
This is also the real reason why Feng Xiaogang, although he has not won many awards, can still be ranked among the top directors in mainland China.
They can really make money at the box office.
But even a director like him who was so awesome and could make money at the box office was left far behind by Zhou Qing.
Feng Xiaogang’s current highest box office record is the recently released "Assembly", but this box office is only a little more than half of "Painted Skin".
Not even half of "Now You See Me"!
The former box office king has now been beaten so badly that he doesn't even have the strength to fight back.
How can Feng Xiaogang remain calm?
"With a box office of 4 million, his momentum is really strong."
Master Zhang, who was preparing for the Olympics, also felt amazed.
I was shocked by the box office of 4 million.
When he first made the film, the total box office of Chinese-language films had just entered the 3 million era.
He himself was just one step away from stepping into it.
As a result, only one year later, we have entered the 4 million era?
Isn't my fellow student from Beijing Film Academy too fierce and tough?
pressure!
It has to be said that even Master Zhang felt the enormous pressure.
Although Master Zhang was reluctant to admit it, he knew that the pressure was real.
Before this, Master Zhang had never imagined that there would be someone in the mainland who could bring pressure to him.
However, Zhou Qing did this.
"What's wrong with 4 million box office? It's just that you didn't make the movie, otherwise you would have gotten 4 million."
Zhang Weiping, who was always arrogant, curled his lips in disapproval. He didn't take Zhou Qing seriously at all.
With the trump card of being the national master in his hand, he simply looks down on any director in the circle.
In Zhang Weiping's opinion, Zhou Qing was able to achieve such success with just one sentence.
There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.
Once Master Zhang finishes his Olympic work, people in the circle will know who the real king is.
"Now You See Me is the first movie in history to break 4 million yuan in box office, and CJ4 will definitely be the second movie to break million yuan in box office."
"CJ4 is Zhou Xingchi's masterpiece. It will have no problem making million at the box office. We are not afraid of Now You See Me!"
“CJ7 will surely surpass Now You See Me and set a new box office record for Chinese-language films!”
The producers of "CJ7" seized this opportunity and launched a massive hype campaign.
No matter whether it can really surpass "Now You See Me", the louder the slogan, the better.
"Director Zhou, congratulations! Now You See Me has surpassed 4 million, setting a new box office record!"
Han Sanping called personally to congratulate him, his loud voice full of smiles.
Investing in Director Zhou for this movie was truly a good investment.
Director Zhou never disappoints.
"Happy together."
Zhou Qing was also in a very good mood and chatted with Han Sanping for a while with a smile.
"Director Zhou, congratulations."
"Congratulations to Director Zhou for breaking another record."
Not only Han Sanping, but also partners such as Ren Zhonglun and Jiang Defu called Zhou Qing one after another.
There are many stars like the Four Dan Shuang Bing, Liu Dehua, Chen Kun, Hu Jun, etc., needless to say.
Zhou Qing’s phone was almost blown up.
They all came to congratulate and congratulate.
There's no way around it, "Now You See Me" really set a new record.
All the pressure was put on "CJ7".
The slogan of "CJ7" has been so loud recently, and everyone in the industry really wants to know whether "CJ7" can really fight.
Can it beat "Now You See Me"?
Zhou Xingchi VS Zhou Qing, who will be better?
The question was answered seven days later.
On January 1, the movie "CJ30" was released, which made its presence felt.
The box office on the first day was actually pretty good, 1200 million.
Although it did not exceed the 1500 million of "The Collection", it exceeded the 1000 million of "The Warlords".
More importantly, there is no heavyweight blockbuster competition like "Now You See Me" behind "CJ2", so we can expect the total box office to be around million yuan.
This result would definitely be a good one even if it were placed in a Stephen Chow movie.
It shouldn't be a problem to surpass "Kung Fu".
But to surpass "Now You See Me" is probably only possible in dreams.
Not to mention surpassing "Now You See Me", it's even impossible to surpass "Painted Skin".
This time, there is no suspense.
Even "CJ7" poses no threat to "Now You See Me". The box office champion in the history of Chinese-language films is still "Now You See Me".
The box office record in Chinese film history is also held by "Now You See Me"!
Solid.
Be it Liu Yifei, Huang Bo, or Huang Xiaoming, all the main creators of "Now You See Me" feel at ease.
The golden signboard of the box office champion in the history of Chinese films is naturally different.
It is a huge bonus for each of their main actors.
By the time Now You See Me is released, the value of each of them will skyrocket.
Especially Liu Yifei, needless to say.
This guy has starred in two championship-winning films in film history twice in a row!
So what is Liu Yifei’s current status?
Without a doubt, a top-tier one.
After all, the girl’s record is indeed very dazzling.
First of all, several popular TV series have laid a very solid foundation for Liu Yifei, making her national popularity and popularity among the public reach the peak.
If Liu Yifei was just a top TV star at that time, she was nothing in the film industry.
But "Painted Skin" and "Now You See Me" have completely helped Liu Yifei gain a firm foothold in the film industry.
It made him a truly top-tier star.
And now?
Liu Yifei is only 20 years old!
Those 85 flowers who are about her age are just starting out.
Whether it's Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, or Tang Yan, they are all still playing small roles.
She will not be really famous until the release of Chinese Paladin III. Of course, Tang Yan's words may change a little, and she may still become famous in advance through the movie Love Is Not Blind.
But even so, Tang Yan could not be compared with Liu Yifei.
As for Zhao Liying?
Well, now I’m just an inconspicuous newcomer under Zhou Qing!
However, after a year and a half of professional training, as well as playing various minor roles, Zhao Liying's professional skills are now up to par.
It’s not that great, but it’s definitely achievable.
Therefore, Zhou Qing’s arrangements for Zhao Liying in 08 were naturally different from before.
Starting from 08, Zhao Liying no longer needs to spend time laying the foundation. Zhou Qing will officially allocate resources to Zhao Liying and start to promote Zhao Liying.
I believe that with Zhou Qing as a supporting actor, Zhao Liying would have become famous many years earlier than before.
But even so, it is impossible for Zhao Liying to catch up with Liu Yifei.
As for Jing, Yang Tianbao, Mou Girl Nini, and so on.
Either they haven't made a name for themselves yet, or they haven't made their debut yet.
Therefore, Liu Yifei’s current opponents are no longer these future 85 flowers.
After all, we are so far ahead that there is no comparison.
Liu Yifei’s real rivals are the top popular female stars, the four leading actresses and two leading soldiers!
Not to mention in the future, even now, the resumes of some of the four Dan double soldiers are not as impressive as Liu Yifei's.
Of course, we cannot say that Liu Yifei can surpass the four leading actresses and two soldiers now. After all, she has only acted in two movies and her foundation is a bit thin.
But this is only now.
As for the future, it will be no problem for the girl to surpass the four Dans and two Bings.
If you calculate the time, Liu Yifei's contract with Sony expires in June, which is just a few months at most.
The two parties had already agreed that Liu Yifei would not renew her contract with Sony and would sign directly into Zhou Qing's studio.
By then, wouldn’t Liu Yifei’s development be able to reach a higher level?
"Director Zhou."
There is news again from Director Yang of Crown Pictures that the preparations for "Twilight" are almost complete and it will start shooting next month.
The other party also sent over a list of actors.
Zhou Qing took a quick look and found that the actors were the same as he remembered, so naturally he had no objection.
"Summit Entertainment hopes you can come over and support Twilight."
Director Yang conveyed Summit Entertainment’s intentions to Zhou Qing.
In any case, Zhou Qing is also a Golden Bear and Golden Lion director, and "Painted Skin" was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
It was indeed a huge publicity stunt.
At the very least, they are much more famous than those new actors in "Twilight".
"Tell them I don't have time."
However, Zhou Qing refused without even thinking about it.
How famous is he in North America?
Even if you go, how much effect will it have?
It's just a waste of time.
What's more, "Twilight" is a movie adapted from a best-selling novel, and with those huge fans, the box office is guaranteed.
There is no need for Zhou Qing to do this.
"clear."
Director Yang agreed without any further ado.
"'Twilight' is Crown Pictures' first shot in Hollywood, and I hope it will be a hit."
"Director Yang, please take care of me. If there are any problems, please inform me as soon as possible."
After explaining some other relevant matters to Director Yang in detail, the two parties ended the call.
Zhou Qing's face showed an expression of great anticipation.
He believed that Crown Pictures' shot would be successful.
After this shot is fired, Zhou Qing's future projects in Hollywood will be much smoother.
On January 1, "Now You See Me," which had been a huge hit during the Lunar New Year holiday, was completely withdrawn from theaters.
The total box office was then revealed, attracting the attention of everyone in the industry.
4.26 billion!
This is a new record for Chinese-language films today!
"Director Zhou Qing's Now You See Me has been released, with a total box office of 4.26 million yuan, setting a new record for Chinese-language films."
"Now You See Me breaks the 3 million box office record of Painted Skin and becomes the box office champion in the history of Chinese-language films!"
"Director Zhou Qing's second commercial blockbuster was another big hit. Now You See Me has amazed the Chinese entertainment industry with its 4.26 million box office."
The entertainment sections of major media and portals are almost all filled with news about Now You See Me.
At this moment, "Now You See Me" is the brightest star in the entire circle.
Everyone couldn't help but be amazed: 4.26 million, this is a new box office record!
Following "Painted Skin", director Zhou Qing once again broke the record for Chinese-language films!
This strength is really too strong, isn't it?
Beijing Film Academy was very happy.
After all, "Now You See Me" can actually be seen as a "Beijing Film Academy movie".
It goes without saying that the director is from Beijing Film Academy. The key point is that all the main characters, including the Four Horsemen, are also from Beijing Film Academy without exception.
Duan Yihong from the Central Academy of Drama and Wan Qian from the Shanghai Theatre Academy are just two supporting roles.
This shows what?
The actors of Beijing Film Academy are no worse than those of Central Academy of Drama and Shanghai Theatre Academy, and are even much better.
Don't be unconvinced. Let us ask the Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy, do you have a movie starring actors from your own academy that can achieve such a high box office?
"4.26 million, not bad."
Zhou Qing was also quite satisfied with the box office.
At least, no movie in the whole year of 08 could break this record.
However, this record can only last for one year. I have the impression that two Hollywood movies will surpass this box office in 09.
Of course, those are Hollywood movies, but are there any Chinese-language movies?
It really does.
Han Sanping's "Founding of a Republic" grossed 4.3 million yuan at the box office.
But before that, this record will always belong to "Now You See Me".
It's not bad if it can last for a year.
So what about the box office of "Now You See Me" in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and other regions?
Zhou Qing then got the specific data from Han Sanping.
"Congratulations, Director Zhou. Now You See Me is a huge hit at the box office. Not only has it set a new record of 4.26 million yuan in the mainland, but the box office in other regions is also very good."
"In Hong Kong, Now You See Me earned a total of 2126 million at the box office, which is higher than last year's Painted Skin."
"In Taiwan, Now You See Me has a box office of 4058 million, which is also higher than Painted Skin."
"The box office in Japan is a little less than that of Painted Skin, but it is still 1.8 million."
"The box office in South Korea was also very good, about the same as Painted Skin, 3125 million."
Zhou Qing finally let go of the worry in his heart, and felt refreshed.
not bad!
"Now You See Me" also had very good box office results in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.
It can be called a hit. (End of this chapter)
