Chapter 512 Sissy is in Hong Kong Island

In the first weekend of its release, the daily box office of "Pacific Rim" exceeded 1 million yuan.

The total box office (including spot screenings and zero shows) in the first week of 5 days exceeded 4 million!
"A 10 billion-level blockbuster is born!" The theaters released their predictions one after another.

"Pacific Rim" almost harvested the box office of all the movies on the market in the same period.

Relying on Zhao Yanzi's huge number of fans and the pressure of "Pacific Rim" in the first weekend of "The Year in a Hurry", it still scored 1.27 million.

But other films have not had such good luck. It has been 6 days since "Fast 10" was released, and it completed a box office achievement of 2.5 million before "Pacific Rim", but in the following four days, only less than 3000 million box office.

"The Guy Inside Me" wobbled and announced on August 8 that its national box office exceeded 5 million, reaching 3 million.

Then, despite the pressure of the hospital line, it was released a week in advance.

"It's a pity, if it weren't for "Pacific Rim", it would not be a problem to get another 3000 to [-] million." The producer of "The Guy Inside Me" was a little discouraged.

"Aren't you satisfied?" Guo Fei was annoyed and amused, "You got 2300 million at the box office for a cost of 3 million. What else is there to say?"

"I announced more than 3000 million yuan, and I didn't make much money."

"It's really too expensive to announce and distribute now, because we have the three major platforms of Weibo, Tudou and Taopiaopiao, otherwise the cost will be even higher.

"The money announced is enough for me to make another film."

Complaints are complaints, but everyone is very happy when they settle accounts.

Cheng Lingfeng and Thomas Tull made the right bet.

Liu Yifei's domestic appeal is indeed unparalleled, and the domestic box office of "Pacific Rim" is bound to surpass that of North America.

The young lady has been running all over the country these days. At most, she has to travel to five cities a day.

She is active in every city she visits. She knows that the domestic box office burden of "Pacific Rim" is on her shoulders. Although it is a bit tiring, she is willing and happy.

But if you really want to count, "Pacific Rim" and "The Year in a Hurry" are both fan movies in China.

The difference is that in addition to Liu Yifei's fan support, "Pacific Rim" also has a large number of non-fan reserve viewers - fans of Hollywood blockbusters.

But "The Year in a Hurry" is different, it's almost a movie for fans of Zhao Yanzi.

"I watched Little Yanzi grow up, what's wrong with buying a ticket for her now?"

At this stage, fans are so simple and rude.

Since it is a fan movie, it roughly follows a box office rule-the box office explodes in the early stage/first week, and falls off a cliff in the middle and late stages.

This is the case with "The Year in a Hurry". After the first week, the daily increase was no more than 500 million. "Pacific Rim" was much better.

In addition, the quality of "Pacific Rim" is really not bad, and the special effects are indeed made with money.

Therefore, the decline after the first week is also within an acceptable range.

But "Little Times 2", "When a Man is in Love" and "One Night Surprise" were bad luck.

The market was cut off by "Furious 6" in advance. After "Pacific Rim" finished eating, the summer table was turned over. "The Year in a Hurry" harvested a wave of youth film fans in the cracks.

The market will not be able to slow down for a week-next week on the 15th, various small and medium-sized enterprises will pay their salaries, which may drive a wave of movie watching.

The weekday box office of "Pacific Rim" dropped to 1500-2000 million, which is still a blockbuster performance.

After Liu Yifei ran in the mainland for a week, he started a promotional tour in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

This night in Hong Kong Island, introduced by the Sound Emperor, Chen Jiashang, chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, asked the young lady to meet.

"Strange, why did he want to see me?" Liu Yifei was very surprised.She has little contact with the Hong Kong circle, and usually participates in activities on Hong Kong Island and only maintains basic courtesy with her partners.

"See you." said the accompanying assistant, "After all, he came to the door in person, and he is a senior, so he has to give him some face."

"They didn't give me face during the Academy Awards." Liu Yifei said.

It doesn't matter if you are the best actress, but why is the best picture inferior to "Chill" from "Thieves" in all aspects?
"That's what you say, but everyone is here, so we have to meet him to find out what he's planning."

Accompanied by her assistant and the person in charge of Golden Harvest (Hong Kong Island), Liu Yifei had dinner with Chen Jiashang and his group in the hotel restaurant.

Chen Jiashang and his team are going to take the route of wives, and want to find out from Liu Yifei Cheng Yu'an and Yuan Yuan's attitude towards Hong Kong Island Films and the Hong Kong Film Awards.

See if you can restore the big water hose.

It's really not going well for the sponsorship of next year's Academy Awards.

As soon as Chen Jiashang met, he congratulated "Pacific Rim" on its success: "No actress of the younger generation is better than Miss Yifei."

Liu Yifei was not easy to put on a face either, so she smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's the heroine, but it's actually just the hero's assistant."

"No other actress would be able to be this kind of assistant." After a few pleasantries, everyone sat down.

Chen Jiashang didn't talk about the business, but introduced her to the food and customs of Hong Kong Island: "Although the area of ​​Hong Kong Island is small, it has a lot of delicious food and fun. Ms. Yifei can come and have more fun when she has time."

"In the future, I will definitely come here more often." He stretched out his hand without hitting the smiling face.

Everyone chatted while eating, and there was a lot of fun talking and laughing at the table. Within half an hour, Chen Jiashang finally started the topic: "What has Director Cheng been doing lately?"

Apart from the fact that Cheng Yuan’s new film will be very confidential, many of the itineraries are public, and Liu Yifei doesn’t deliberately hide it: “Many films in the company have started, and he is busy recruiting actors for the crew, and he will go to Venice at the end of the month. He is the chairman of this year’s Horizon unit. "

"It's amazing," Chen Jiashang flattered, and continued, "I think "Old Father" too, it's really good. The organizing committee of the Academy Awards would like to invite the crew of "Old Father" to participate in next year's film festival."

Having said that, it is basically equivalent to promising the best picture to "Old Father".

But Liu Yifei didn't buy it. She knew Cheng Yu'an's character too well. The Golden Rooster Award has political blessings, and people in the mainland are complicated. Cheng Yu'an is still from an academy. The Golden Rooster Award tricked him once. Intercession failed to bring him to reconcile with the Golden Rooster Awards, let alone the Golden Rooster Awards: "I'm afraid this is not the rules of the Golden Rooster Awards. "Old Father" has no Hong Kong Island filmmakers from investment to actors, so it does not meet the Golden Rooster Awards." The selection criteria for the Image Awards. The most shortlisted for the best cross-strait Chinese film."

But the Best Cross-Strait Chinese Film Award is not attractive to Cheng Yu'an at all.

This is also the disgusting aspect of the Academy Awards. It insists on setting up a cross-strait film award to distinguish it from Hong Kong Island films.

Chen Jiashang didn't expect Liu Yifei to speak so mercilessly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Liu Yifei went on to say: "I generally don't interfere in the company's decision-making, and the company will make unified arrangements for any awards."

Chen Jiashang changed another topic: "The film industry in Hong Kong Island has always attached great importance to cooperation with friends from all over the world. Even if there are some unpleasant things, I hope it will not affect the purpose of tolerance in Hong Kong Island films."

"Of course, Hong Kong Island movies used to be the benchmark of Chinese-language movies." Liu Yifei also learned to speak bureaucratically.

Chen Jiashang didn't expect Liu Yifei to change anything, what he wanted was Liu Yifei to bring Cheng Yu'an what he said tonight.

"We don't want some unhappiness in this to hinder the cooperation between the two parties."

Liu Yifei nodded, agreeing with this sentence.

"We hope to continue working on the film that Golden Harvest cooperated with Media Asia." Chen Dexiu, a senior producer and distributor of Media Asia, said.

Liu Yifei frowned: "I can't make the decision." Golden Harvest's representative was on the side, "Thank you Director Chen for the invitation. It's late, and I have to catch a plane tomorrow, so excuse me."

Liu Yifei got up and took the person away.

"Can this be done?" Chen Dexiu asked after Liu Yifei left.

"I don't know, as long as Liu Yifei brings the words, the rest depends on how sincere we can show."
