Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 324
"The Day After Tomorrow" breaks the box office record for the first week of global single-film release.

But to be honest, although "The Day After Tomorrow"'s box office of 1400 million in the first week in the mainland is already a very high box office, it still only ranks third in the year.

So far, the box office record for the first week of 2004 is "The Ninth District" at 3457 million yuan, compared with "The Day After Tomorrow" which is less than half.

However, the 3457 million yuan of "The Ninth District" is not the highest first-week box office record in mainland China's film history.

At present, the highest first-week box office record in mainland China film history is 2002 million yuan created by Guoshi "Hero" in 5300!

This record has been maintained for more than a year.

The previous record was 1998 million RMB set by "Titanic" in 4800!

The record for the highest box office in the first week of Dachuan lasted for 4 years before it was broken by Guoshi's "Hero".

But even so, 6 years have passed, and "Titanic" still maintains the box office records in mainland film history of 1800 million yuan on the first day, with a total box office of 3.6 million yuan.

The king of the world is really not just talking casually. For the Chinese people, these records are like an insurmountable mountain, and it is hard for everyone to breathe.

As for "Hero"'s first-week box office record of RMB 5300 million, I'm afraid it may not be able to keep it this year.

The one most likely to break this record is the national teacher's own "House of Flying Daggers"!
In addition, Star Master's "Kung Fu", Chen Hao's "No Surname", Feng Dapao's "A World Without Thieves" and many Hollywood blockbusters are all strong candidates, but they are not as good as "House of Flying Daggers".

At the same time, the editing work of "The Man Without a Surname" is coming to an end, and Chen Hao has roughly finished editing two versions.

However, at present, there are still some special effects productions that have not been completed. After the special effects part is also delivered, Chen Hao can really complete all the post-productions.

Time passed in a hurry, and soon came June, and the atmosphere of summer vacation became more and more intense.

The film market has also released many new films. The box office performances of the island films "Twilight Qing Bingwei", "Mystery Loyalty", and "Candlelight" are so poor that they are completely cannon fodder.

In addition, even "Beautiful Magic City" starring Feng Yuanzheng and Wang Zuxian, and the well-known "San Mao Rescue the Orphan" also did not make any splashes.

The mainland film market is completely dominated by one company, but this is also within everyone's expectations.

Now the box office of "The Day After Tomorrow" has exceeded 7500 million yuan in the mainland, but in terms of its stamina, it is estimated to be at the same level as "Lord of the Rings 3".

It is estimated that it is impossible to surpass "Lord of the Rings 3", the box office should be around 8000 million RMB.

Soon, the situation of "The Day After Tomorrow" dominating the box office will be rewritten, and another Hollywood epic blockbuster "Troy" officially landed in mainland theaters.

The movie "Troy" has an investment of up to 1.75 million U.S. dollars, and there are two handsome guys Brad Pitt and the elf prince to help out. It is also an epic masterpiece and it can be described as ambitious.

But it is a pity that the film failed in North America, and the box office performance was unfavorable, with only 1.33 million US dollars in the account. Warner Bros. is obviously going to lose money this time!
But even so, as a Hollywood blockbuster, "Troy" is still very attractive to mainland audiences with its grand war scenes, and its box office performance is also worth looking forward to.

At the same time, the promotion of "House of Flying Daggers", which will officially land in mainland theaters on July 7, is in full swing.

In addition to the national tour with Liu Dehua, Jin Chengwu and International Zhang.

Dazui Zhang Weiping also directly sent a business plan to the merchants and the media, which introduced in detail the plot, stills, cast members and other details of "House of Flying Daggers".

Finally, there is an advertisement for the grand premiere of "House of Flying Daggers".

All kinds of titles, pre-roll ads, sponsorships, etc. are clearly priced. According to the planning, "House of Flying Daggers" will hold a grander premiere than "Hero".

However, the cost of the premiere will be paid by the sponsors.

However, even though the promotion of "House of Flying Daggers" is more complicated and bigger than that of "Hero", the industry generally predicts that the box office of "House of Flying Daggers" will be far inferior to that of "Hero".

But the big mouth Zhang Weiping didn't care, the goal of shouting "House of Flying Daggers" is to surpass "Hero"!
Not only that, Zhang Weiping also said that "House of Flying Daggers" will participate in international film festivals, probably the top three in Europe!

This made the media and reporters excited again. After all, the National Teacher is also a frequent visitor of the three major European teams.

But after thinking about it, "House of Flying Daggers" is a commercial film, and it is unlikely to win an award. It is estimated that it is mainly for selling the film.

But no matter what, with Zhang Weiping's big mouth and Guoshi's influence in the mainland film industry, the news that "House of Flying Daggers" will be released can be said to be known all over the country.

And just when "House of Flying Daggers" attracted the attention of countless media and movie fans, Haotian Film and Television suddenly announced that "Man with No Surname" is scheduled to be released on August 8th!
This is the schedule determined by Chen Hao after discussing with Haotian Cinemas and Pauli Berner.

"The Man Without a Surname" will be able to completely complete all the post-production by the end of June. Although fans have long known about Chen Hao's new film, publicity still needs to be done.

Therefore, it is impossible for "Man without a Surname" to be released in July, and at least one month must be reserved for publicity.

Moreover, the National Teacher's "House of Flying Daggers" will be released on July 7. At this time, no one dares to compete with the National Teacher.

After all, "Hero" is too terrifying, and "House of Flying Daggers" will definitely overwhelm other films.

Therefore, "No Surname" can only be postponed, and September has "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and Cheng Long's "New Police Story", which is a bit crowded.

After that, the summer holidays are all over, and the only thing left to choose is August!
In August, only the animated film "Shrek 8" ushered in the masterpiece of the mainland film market.

The box office of this film in North America has exceeded 4.4 million US dollars. It can basically be said that it is locked in the top two box office of the year, and it is very likely to be the annual champion.

If you only look at the North American box office, it is indeed terrifying.

But the good thing is that "Shrek 2" is an animated movie, and the box office performance of animated movies in the mainland is relatively average.

Take "Shrek 2002" in 1 as an example. What was its box office in the Mainland at that time?
Only 675 million RMB!

Moreover, animated films have always been unpopular in the mainland. The current highest-grossing animated film is the 3553 million yuan of "Finding Nemo" last year.

Therefore, in the mainland film market, "Shrek" is not so invincible.

In the August 8 schedule, "House of Flying Daggers" has been released to its 6th week, so avoid its edge.

"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" will be released on September 9, and there is exactly one month's schedule between each other.

Therefore, "The Man Without a Last Name" chose the schedule of early August, and its biggest competitor is "Shrek 8"!
