Chapter 329 Big news (third update)

"House of Flying Daggers" broke the three major box office records in mainland film history in the first week.
Guoshi surpassed his own box office records twice. Although the box office records of the premiere and the zero-point show are not taken seriously, they are written in the history of mainland movies.

In the 3 days of the first week, it even won 5500 million RMB, surpassing the 5300 million of "Hero", which made Zhang Weiping laugh out loud.

Because before, whether it was the media or the industry, it was generally believed that the box office of "House of Flying Daggers" would hardly exceed that of "Hero", and it would even be very difficult to reach 2 million.

But the fact before us is that "House of Flying Daggers" has surpassed the first-week box office of "Hero"!

In addition, "House of Flying Daggers" actually set a box office record for a domestic film, which was 1600 million on the first day!
This result is the best first-day box office result of a domestic film, but it is lower than the 1800 million on the first day of "Titanic", failing to set a new record in mainland film history!

The box office of Flying Daggers in its first week made Zhang Weiping yell at the media, "The box office goal of Flying Daggers has always been higher than that of Hero, and this has never changed!"

It's just that contrary to the box office success of "House of Flying Daggers", critics and audiences alike received rave reviews.

There are too many loopholes in the script, distorted martial arts scenes, weak emotions of the characters, etc., and the evaluation of film critics is almost completely negative.

Only a small part of the audience gave "House of Flying Daggers" favorable comments.

In the promotion, the film should be a touching one, but laughter often came from the theater, and even very few people left early.

It can only be said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Even though the critics of "Hero" have been criticizing it constantly, the fans still like it very much. They really feel the domestic blockbuster and are even excited about it.

It's just that apart from the impressive use of colors in "House of Flying Daggers", the rest is only tearing clothes.

"House of Flying Daggers" cannot be compared with "Hero" at all, which disappointed many long-awaited movie fans!
Faced with so many negative comments, Zhang Weiping seemed very calm, "It was the same after "Hero" was released, and the result?"

As a result, "House of Flying Daggers" earned 5000 million RMB at the box office in the second week, breaking through 10 million RMB in two weeks and [-] days!

It's just that the box office rise of "House of Flying Daggers" has dropped a lot, and it has already lagged behind that of "Hero" in the same period.

At the same time, the pirated version of "House of Flying Daggers" has come out.

Based on this situation, the major theaters began to re-screen "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy", and cut off some of the "House of Flying Daggers" films.

This also means that the subsequent box office of "House of Flying Daggers" will be even weaker. It is impossible to surpass "Hero", and it is even impossible to reach nearly 2 million box office!
Faced with such a situation, Zhang Weiping changed his mind, ""Hero" is a miracle. There is no Chinese film that can compare with it in a few years. It is already very good that "House of Flying Daggers" broke [-] million at the box office, and we have already made back the cost overseas. , the mainland is a net profit.”

The fact is that Sony Columbia and Warner bought out the distribution rights of "House of Flying Daggers" in Japan and North America for 1 million yen and 1100 million U.S. dollars respectively.

"House of Flying Daggers" can't be lost, but Zhang Weiping's previous ambitions obviously can't be realized.

In addition, according to relevant sources in the industry, the audio-visual copyright of "House of Flying Daggers" has been sold, and the final price is 300 million yuan, which is far from the 2000 million yuan that Zhang Weiping said before.

However, "House of Flying Daggers" has become the seventh film in mainland film history to break 7 million at the box office.

Guoshi has also become the only director in mainland film history with two movies with a box office of over [-] million. The name of the three directors is well deserved!

"House of Flying Daggers" came out after long-awaited, and after the results were mixed, everyone's box office target has been reduced to 1.5 million yuan.

Now how the final box office of "House of Flying Daggers" will be, we can only wait slowly.

The media and the general public love the new and dislike the old. After the exposure of "House of Flying Daggers", everyone's attention is focused on the upcoming blockbuster.

That is to say, it will be released on August 8, Chen Hao's latest sci-fi masterpiece "The Man Without a Last Name"!
At this time, Chen Hao was still promoting nationwide, and the advertisements for "The Man Without a Surname" had spread all over the country.

Everyone is naturally concerned about "The Man Without a Surname", but the release of "House of Flying Daggers" by the National Teacher covered up the brilliance of "The Man without a Surname".

Now that the old man is gone, it is natural for the new man to come on stage!
Everyone is still looking forward to Chen Hao's new sci-fi work. After all, Chen Hao is the most capable director of sci-fi films in China and even Asia. His sci-fi films have never disappointed.

Especially not long after "The Ninth District" broke the [-] million mark, "The Man With No Surname" took advantage of the momentum. Although it is not as good as "House of Flying Daggers" with the momentum of "Hero", it still makes countless movie fans look forward to it.

Especially many young movie fans and sci-fi fans have been waiting for it for a long time!
It's just that there is still some time before the release date on August 8th, and everyone can only endure it for the time being. Let's take a look at the posters and trailers of "The Man Without a Surname" first.
