Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 690 The Embarrassing Master Xing

Chen Hao's microblog, "I, the one who catches fame!" became popular all over the country and the entire Internet!
It directly became the first hot word on the Internet in 2008!
Countless people felt that Chen Hao was domineering and awesome, but at the same time, he became fans of him one after another!

The instigator, Xiao Wang, was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. This was self-defeating. It turned out that the clown was me!

The only thing that can make the king of Huayi happy now is the box office performance of "Assembly".

Although the south has suffered from severe snowstorms, the country is indeed very strong in terms of power grid infrastructure. Most of the people affected are the people who went home during the Spring Festival travel, and others are less affected.

Therefore, even at this time, movie theaters are still full of fans.

As for the film market in the mainland, just as Feng Dapao said, "Assembly" basically took all the box office in January 2008.

Throughout January, as of the 1th, a total of 28 new films were released in the mainland film market, but there was not a single blockbuster film with box office potential.

Therefore, it is impossible to shake "Assembly"'s consecutive box office championship!

《集结号》在整个1月份豪取周票房4连冠，加上去年12月份的2连冠，《集结号》史无前例的豪取内地电影周票房排行榜6连冠！

Because of this, "Assembly" surpassed "The Martian" and "Pacific Rim" which had won the box office for 5 consecutive weeks, and exclusively enjoyed the number one consecutive week in mainland film history!

At the same time, because there were no box office blockbusters released in the first four weeks of January, "Assembly" still won the box office of 1 million yuan in the sixth week, breaking the box office record for the sixth week in mainland film history!
However, although "Assembly" won the weekly box office for 6 consecutive times, the box office in the first five weeks did not break the record of mainland film history, and it did not even rank in the top three.

This allowed "Assembly" to dominate the weekly box office list for 6 weeks, but the cumulative box office was only 2.368 million yuan!

This box office result is not to mention compared with "Pacific Rim", even compared with "Transformers"'s 2.687 million yuan, there is a big gap.

And in the last week of January, that is, on January 1, Star Master's "Yangtze River No. 1" will officially land in major theaters in the mainland, and the box office of "Assembly" will obviously be greatly impacted.

From this point of view, the box office of "Assembly" can reach 3 million yuan, let alone hit 2.5 million yuan, which is not bad.

The final box office of "Assembly Number" should be ranked third in the 2007 mainland annual box office list!No. 3 in Chinese-language movies!
Second only to "Pacific Rim" with 3.12 million and "Transformers" with 2.68 million.

However, although competing for the annual crown has become a joke, Feng Dapao undoubtedly became the big winner!
The "Assembly Number", which was previously considered to be a miserable loss by Xiao Wang, obviously not only did not lose money, but also made a fortune.

Feng Dapao also used "Assembly" to restore the good reputation that was dragged down by "The Banquet", and at the same time directly created a new box office record for domestic war films!

He even surpassed Chen Kaige and became the third director among the four major directors, and also the only director in the mainland to enter the 3 million box office club!
Although the box office lost to Chen Hao's "Pacific Rim", Feng Dapao's career did not lose, but went to a higher level!

At the same time, another Lunar New Year blockbuster "Certificate of Fame" perfectly interprets what it means to drive high and go low.

The box office performance of 8000 million in the first week is still very good, but it is a pity that I met Feng Dapao, one of the four major mainland directors, and the government has booked the show. The film is indeed well shot and has a good reputation!
"Certificate of Fame" itself has a dark and tragic style, so the audience is naturally smaller, so it was defeated!

The most regrettable thing is that the "Certificate of Voting" was unpublished, and the final box office was 1.9935 million, almost breaking 2 million!

The total investment of "Certificate of Voting" was as high as 2 million yuan, of which Li Lianjie took 2.2 million yuan alone, but with the Xiangjiang box office, it was about [-] million yuan.

It seems to be losing money.

Now Chen Kexin pins his hopes on the North American market, thinking that Chinese martial arts movies in ancient costumes should have a good box office in North America, after all, there is Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li.

As a result, the North American film market surprised Chen Kexin. In the end, "Certificate of Fame" won an astonishing box office in North America, $12!
From then on, the Chinese-language action films starring Jet Li could no longer be sold in the United States. At the same time, the short-term glory of Chinese-language blockbusters in the North American market was completely over.

At the beginning of the century, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" shocked the United States, with a box office of 1.28 million US dollars!
In 2004, Guoshi's "Hero" was rated as the No. 1 global film of the year by the North American media, with a box office of 5731 million US dollars!
This ushered in a short period of high light for Chinese martial arts action movies in North America.

During this period, "Fearless", "House of Flying Daggers", "Kung Fu", and "Iron Monkey" all achieved box office of more than 1000 million US dollars in North America.

In the box office rankings of foreign language films in North America, even if Chen Hao is not counted, Chinese films are also worthy of any country!

It's just that this time is a bit short. After only 7 years, Chinese martial arts action movies can no longer be sold in North America!
Even Li Lianjie and Cheng Long have more than enough heart but not enough energy!
And the more time goes by, the worse the box office performance of Chinese-language films overseas, and not only the North American market, but also the box office markets of South Korea and island countries.

Even Xiangjiang and Baodao in their own country can't sell it!
The box office of Chinese-language movies is getting higher and higher, and the annual growth rate is the first in the world, but they can only shrink within their own country, and they have no overseas box office appeal!

In later generations, most of the top foreign-language film box office rankings in North America have become Indian Bollywood films.

It is a song and dance film that has been ridiculed by Chinese people many times, but it has become a frequent visitor to the box office rankings of foreign language films in North America every year.

Of course, the box office of most Bollywood movies is only about 1000 million US dollars, which is completely inferior to the box office of movies in the first decade of the century!
……

As time entered the last week of January, Xing Yeh's "Yangtze River No. 1" won the box office of 7 million yuan in the first five days, and strongly won the first place in the box office rankings.

It also ended the six consecutive weekly box office championships of "Assembly Number"!

But to be honest, many people should be more or less disappointed after watching "Yangtze River No. 7"!

In this sci-fi family comedy, Master Xing has obviously started a new attempt, maybe he wants to break through himself, or he has grown up.

Although the nonsensical humor is still retained, the protagonist has changed from Master Xing to the child Xu Jiao and the stunt dog.

In the past, Master Xing's comedies were tears with laughter, and the tone was rather gloomy. It can be seen that he is actually rather disappointed in the world. His movies are more like the dreams of a boy who refuses to grow up.

But seeing "Yangtze River No. 7", this boy seems to have grown up. This kind of transformation makes people always feel like watching an atypical star movie!

Yes, after all, Master Xing is almost 50 years old, and his hair is already gray and white, he is no longer young!
Moreover, from its pinnacle masterpiece "Kung Fu", the sudden transition to "Yangtze River No. 7" does make people feel a little uncomfortable and a little embarrassed!
