Chapter 274 Trip to Hong Kong Island
On Sunday, the fourth day of the release of "The Martian", Cheng Yu'an and his team were promoting in Shenzhen.

In the past few days, except for the first-day box office record of "Transformers 2" (3300 million for Big Machine, 3200 million for "The Martian"), all other records have been broken by "The Martian".

Highest zero box office record.

The fastest to break the 2 million record, "Transformers 4" took [-] days, and "The Martian" took two and a half days.

2 million at the box office, it took 7 days for the big machine to dominate, while "The Martian" has already reached 1.9 million at the national box office at this time, and it is a foregone conclusion that it will break 4 million in 2 days in the first weekend.

From the current point of view, the entire month of November has been killed by "The Martian".

The head effect is too obvious. "The Martian" has just been released, and there is still 30% of the filming space left for other films. By the weekend, it directly squeezed out more than 85% of the filming.

China Film now finally realizes its stupidity.

Director Han regrets it very much now, "The Martian" has already taken off and has the performance of the annual champion, why put "2012" in November! !

Director Han really wants to see "The Martian" take over the November schedule, and even wants to use administrative means to push "The Martian" to 11 billion!
And several companies that were scheduled for the Lunar New Year file also breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, "The Martian" was not released."

Compared with other people's ease, the crew of "The Martian" got excited at the high box office, but also fell into tension.

Cheng Yu'an told them that "2012" will be the biggest rival of "The Martian", and both films have champions.

"We have already seized the opportunity. Although the results are good now, we still can't take it lightly. There are still 2012 days before the release of "11", and we have to push "The Martian" to [-] million or even [-] million to stabilize the situation."

If Cheng Yu'an remembers correctly, the domestic box office of "2012" was 4.66 million. Now that "The Martian" spoils the situation, "2012" may not be able to get so much box office, and if "The Martian" can stabilize at 2012 million Even with [-] million, Cheng Yu'an is confident to kill "[-]" and win the film history championship.

Although it may be the shortest-lived title, because "Avatar" will kill the global market in January.

But "Avatar" will definitely be counted in the results of 2010, and I can win the annual championship anyway.

For the sake of his annual crown, in order to be able to eat snacks and drink Coke in Director Han's office openly, Cheng Yu'an led people to run promotions all over the country.

Basically respond to the audience's needs, major interviews and exclusive interviews, I can't wait to give birth to eight hands to answer them all.

Finally, on the 12th, "The Martian" was released for 7 days, and the total box office in the mainland exceeded 3 million yuan.

The box office of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan exceeded 1300 million.

It was also on this day that Cheng Yu'an led another team to go overseas to publicize.

Hong Kong Island for half a day, Bay Island for half a day, left for Japan in the afternoon to promote for half a day and one night, the next day to South Korea for half a day for promotion, and finally 2 days in North America, 2 days in Europe, and returned to China on the 21st to do the final sniping of "2012".

The one-week itinerary was fully arranged, flying all over Asia, Europe and the United States, except on the plane, everyone was almost non-stop.

Audiences on Hong Kong Island are not very receptive to the main theme films.

"The Founding of a Country" currently has a box office of just over 400 million on Hong Kong Island.

"The Wind" is only 200 million.

But it is estimated that no one would want to use the main chord film to reap the box office on Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, Cheng Yu'an's itinerary on Hong Kong Island is only arranged for half a day in the afternoon, and then he will transfer to Bay Island.

"The Martian" was released simultaneously around the world. In this week on Hong Kong Island, the score was slightly better than "The Founding of a Country", with 500 million.

Apart from its own Golden Harvest Cinema, Yuanyuan didn't care about the schedule of "The Martian" in Hong Kong Island at all, but other theaters on Hong Kong Island gave a pretty good schedule in the first week, and didn't care much after the first week.

Moreover, Remote's partners in Hong Kong Island are quite respectful, and the theaters under Yindu and Yinhuang still have a lot of film schedules until now.

Cheng Yu'an said before that he doesn't like the market of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. If it wasn't for Yuanyuan's relationship with Hong Kong film companies, he wouldn't make a special trip.

Moreover, Cheng Yu'an came to Hong Kong Island to thank him this time.

The Academy Awards in April this year had a good long-distance harvest.

"Ip Man" won the Best Picture, and "Painted Skin" won two awards for Best Cinematography and Best Original Song.

In addition to Yuanyuan and South Korea, if we really want to talk about it, it was Wen Jun who led the line, and Cheng Yu'an has always remembered this favor.

Because of love and reason, Cheng Yu'an has to go south to pay homage to the pier.

At the road show, the two-term chairman of the Academy Awards: Wen Jun and Chen Jiashang attended together, and artists such as Yinhuang and TVB assisted.

Xie Tingfeng looked bitter at the scene, sorry!

When Yang Shoucheng forced him to go north to audition for "The Martian", he looked disdainful and felt that playing a supporting role was not in line with his status. Now watching "The Martian" massacre in the mainland, he felt nothing.

It's not that he doesn't know that he needs to transform, but many times his mentality has not changed.

Although "The Witness" performed well, there is no such thing as "The Martian".

During the Lunar New Year holiday, he still has "October Siege" to be released, so he expects this movie to compete with "The Martian".

"Director Cheng, congratulations on the big sale!" Chen Jiashang was the first to come up to congratulate.

He has an old relationship with Yao Yao, so it's easy to talk to him.

"Chen Sheng, congratulations on being promoted to the chairman of the Academy Award."

"For promotion, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility. You have to find a way for Hong Kong films." Having said that, it can be seen that Chen Jiashang is still very happy to succeed the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Because of the relationship between Wen Jun and Yuan Yuan, the Golden Statue Award left to Chen Jiashang is not an unsustainable mess.

Wenjun pulled the Korean line for Long-distance, and Long-distance reciprocated. In recent years, he has also sponsored a lot of awards for the Academy Awards.

Chen Jiashang didn't need to beg his grandpa and grandma for sponsorship like his predecessors—otherwise, do you think that Yuan Yuan's award at the Academy Award was given out of thin air?
Cheng Yu'an continued: "Do you have time, Chen Sheng? Have a meal together?"

Chen Jiashang's eyes lit up when he heard Cheng Yu'an's invitation to dinner, and he said with a smile, "Director Cheng invites you, and if you don't have time, make time to come. But since you're in Hong Kong Island, how can you invite Director Cheng? I'll be the host."

"I'm sorry, Chen Sheng." Cheng Yu'an was not polite.

The promotion of Hong Kong Island is just one stage, and it’s all done in a patterned manner.

Cheng Yu'an invited Chen Jiashang to dinner, asking for something.

He wanted to ask the other party to direct "Painted Skin 2".

Immediately after the first part of "Painted Skin" was released, it was announced that the second part would be launched, and the script is currently being worked on.

Wu Ershan retreated to the position of producer.

Moreover, Cheng Yu'an has other arrangements for Wu Ershan, he intends to let Wu Ershan bring newcomers to him.

The reason why "Painted Skin 2" invites Chen Jiashang is because it sells well.

Now Long-distance has become the vanguard of the film and television industry, and he can't let his temper go.

The decline of Hong Kong films is visible to the naked eye, and the higher-ups are concerned about cross-strait relations, so they approached Cheng Lingfeng and wanted Yuan Yuan to set an example.

Yuanyuan has no prejudice against Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, but simply thinks that the market is too small, so he doesn't pay much attention to it. Now Cheng Lingfeng will take up the post.

What's more, the General Administration promised to allocate money from the film development fund to "Painted Skin 2", covering half of the cost, and Yuan Yuan had no reason not to agree.

When Chen Jiashang heard that he was invited to direct "Painted Skin 2", there was no reason why he would not agree.

The box office of the first film exceeded 2 million, and the original lineup renewed its contract. Any fool knows that the second film will be a big hit.

"Director Cheng, don't worry, I'll go north to join the crew tomorrow." Chen Jiashang assured, patted his chest.
