Chapter 837 First Day Box Office
"Inception" broke the box office record in China's film history, making all the media and Chen Hao's fans very excited.

500 million RMB, a new box office record in Chinese film history!
Not only does it illustrate the popularity of "Inception", but it is also the first box office record in China's film history that a domestic film has regained from a Hollywood film.

What's more, this is the box office record of "Inception", which aims to surpass "Avatar". Chen Hao's rhetoric seems to be off to a good start.

Of course, this also shows the popularity of the domestic film market from the side, and it also makes everyone optimistic about the box office trend of "Inception".

Now, in many people's minds, there shouldn't be any problem with "Inception" surpassing "Edge of Tomorrow" at the box office, but whether it can surpass "Avatar" remains to be seen.

With the prestige of breaking the box office record of China's film history, everyone is more eager to know the first-day box office of "Inception".

Now the first-day box office record in the Mainland is still "Avatar", 3600 million RMB!

The zero-point box office of "Inception" surpassed that of "Avatar", and there is great hope that this first-day box office record can be broken again!

However, it is only noon now, and there are still 7 hours before July 1st. It is still unknown what the box office of "Inception" will be on the first day.

The box office of "Inception" gave Chen Hao a surprise. Excited, he directly hugged Yaya and twirled it around for many times, and then pressed her on the bed to release the prehistoric power in his body.

……

After he and Yaya double repaired, Chen Hao came to the company. Not long after he sat down, Sister Shi came in with a stack of documents, and then put them heavily on Chen Hao's desk, "The task is heavy, deal with it quickly Bar!"

Seeing this, Chen Hao looked at Sister Shi with a smile and said, "I want to deal with you first!"

After getting along for more than a year, Sister Shi has gotten used to Chen Hao's flirting, she just gave Chen Hao a blank look, and then made a scissors gesture, "If you play hooligan again, I will deal with you!"

Chen Hao shrank his butt slightly when he heard this, and then looked at the file honestly.

"Ocean Paradise", the main feature of Haotian Film's 2009 "Star Fire" project, was released on June 6.

This public welfare film aimed at appealing to everyone to pay attention to autistic patients has a lineup that should not be underestimated. The director is the well-known screenwriter Xue Xiaolu, and it stars Li Lianjie, Deng Chao, Gao Yuanyuan and Gui Lunmei.

It is probably impossible to make money by investing in this public welfare film. The main reason is to give full play to the social effect of the film and establish a good image.

Well, in fact, it was also to invest in Xue Xiaolu, the senior sister of Emperor Ying.

As a well-known screenwriter, now she has changed careers to become a director. In terms of her ability, she is considered outstanding among female directors.

Investing in it now will lead to more cooperation in the future.

The box office of "Ocean Paradise" was 395 million yuan in the first week, which is also expected. Although there are many big names joining, as a public welfare movie, the box office is definitely not high.

However, the evaluation of the film is still good. Xue Xiaolu changed his career as a director this time, and his first film is considered to be very stable.

The box office champion of the week was "Toy Story 3", which was forced to shift files.

……

"How to Train Your Dragon" is officially released worldwide.

The domestic box office is 1.53 million yuan, which narrowly surpasses the 3 million yuan of "Ice Age 1.52", becoming the runner-up of the box office of animated films in the mainland, second only to "Kung Fu Panda" with 1.7 million yuan!

In North America, "How to Train Your Dragon" finally recorded a box office of 2.18 million US dollars, becoming the fifth film in North America this year with a box office of over 5 million US dollars.

"How to Train Your Dragon" ended up grossing $5.05 million worldwide. Although it's not as good as "Kung Fu Panda"'s $6.31 million, there's no doubt that Haotian's special effects have made a lot of money.

After all, the production cost of "How to Train Your Dragon" is only about 1200 million US dollars.

Now everyone admires Chen Hao's continuous investment in Haotian special effects in the early stage. Before, he only thought that Chen Hao was rich and self-willed, even conceited, but now he feels far-sighted and has a very strategic vision.

At the same time, the box office performance of "How to Train Your Dragon" also gave Haotian Special Effects high hopes for "Despicable Me", hoping that "Despicable Me" can continue the hot box office and good reputation of "How to Train Your Dragon".

……

Haotian Music released its second album this year, "@音乐" by Zhang Liangying.

In addition to the pre-sale and first month of this album, 20 copies have been sold physically, and the number of downloads on music players such as Kugou has reached 45 times.

Although the results are not as good as Li Yuchun's "Youth Huaxia", they are not bad.

……

At the same time, good news came from Liang Tianchi Films' blockbuster "Twilight Saga 3" this year.

This is now another ultra-popular fantasy love series after "Harry Potter" in North America, and even the world, and it directly reached the top in the first weekend of its release.

"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" became the champion of the week with a box office of 3 million US dollars, and wrote a series of new film history records.

First of all, the film was released on a super-large scale in 4468 theaters. Such a release scale refreshed the highest release scale and opening scale of "Harry Potter 6: The Half-Blood Prince" in 4455 theaters in one fell swoop.

At the same time, it also refreshed the maximum release and opening scale of independent films and PG-13 films.

Second, "Eclipse" set a new record for a midnight opening opening of more than $4000 million in more than 3000 theaters, surpassing the $2630 million made by the second installment in the series, "New Moon."

Among them, the income of 192 IMAX screens exceeded one million, which also refreshed the 2 of "Transformers 95.9".
Subsequently, on Wednesday, "Eclipse" made a total of 6850 million US dollars at the box office. This result: ranked first in film history for a single-day income on Wednesday, and the original record was 2 million US dollars of "Transformers 6201";
Ranked second in single-day box office revenue and first-day box office, second to "New Moon" with $7270 million;
Fourth, on Thursday, "Eclipse" earned a total of 2421 million US dollars at the box office. This result: it ranked second in the box office revenue of a non-premiere day and non-weekend single day, second to "Transformers 2" with 2909 million US dollars;
位列星期四单日票房收入第六位，次于《星战前传3》、《黑客帝国2》、《星战前传2》、《变形金刚2》、《夺宝奇兵4》。

Counting the $6900 million box office over the three days of last weekend, the cumulative box office of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" has reached $3 million.

It fully surpassed the second work in the series "New Moon", which had a cumulative box office of 1.53 million on the fifth day of its release.

However, since this is the first time that the "Twilight Saga" series has appeared in the summer vacation, it remains to be seen whether it will be unacceptable from the autumn to the intense summer vacation.

But referring to the box office of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", if it can maintain a good decline, then 3 million US dollars is not a problem.

The film's media review score is 58 points, Yahoo's film critics scored C+, and audiences scored B+.

In terms of Rotten Tomatoes, the freshness rate is 52%, with 92 people in favor and 86 people against.

Eclipse has the highest rating ever for the Twilight series!
"Although the third part of the series has been filmed, only "Eclipse" really captures the spirit of the "Twilight" series. Passion!"

"In all fairness, the plot of this film can be compared to an orthodox and humorless teen romance soap opera, but it has no sign of artificiality, but is full of fascinating points and extremely strong emotional explosion!"

"Compared to the larger story structure + more complex and interesting interpersonal relationships compared to the previous work, this is the first movie in the "Twilight" series that looks so much like a "real" movie!"

……

Chen Hao also saw an invitation from the annual commendation conference of the China Film Directors Association.

The predecessor was the Annual Awards of the China Film Directors Association, which was held by the China Film Directors Association, but it was discontinued after the first session was held in 2005.

All judges are composed of directors, and strive to evaluate the performance of the film and actors from the director's professional perspective.

For the first time, Director of the Year, Actor of the Year, Actress of the Year, Young Director of the Year, Box Office Director of the Year and Lifetime Achievement Awards were awarded.

At that time, Chen Hao won the box office director of the year with "A Man Without a Surname" with a box office of 1.69 million.

Lu Chuan won the Young Director of the Year award for "Kekexili".

In fact, the 2004 annual crown was Master Xing's "Kung Fu", but the director of Xiangjiang Baodao was no longer selected, so in the end Chen Hao won the award.

It's just that this commendation conference was suspended for 5 years, and it will resume next year in 2011, and the second session will be held to commend all 2010 films.

Chen Hao was invited to be a member of the jury this time, which made Chen Hao a little puzzled. It stands to reason that "Inception" is released, so he is not good as a judge!

Could it be that "Inception" will not be nominated at all?
After thinking about it, Chen Hao still agreed. After all, he still wanted to hold a truly authoritative and influential awards ceremony, which cannot be separated from the support of various professions in the industry.

Speaking of which, Chen Hao originally planned to join the Screenwriters Association, but it turned out that there is no Screenwriters Association in mainland China at this time!
……

After a busy day, Chen Hao returned to the villa, and when he opened the door, he saw Yaya practicing yoga absent-mindedly.

"What are you thinking about? So preoccupied?" Chen Hao asked, shaking his hand in front of Yaya's eyes.

"Ah! You're back." Yaya regained her composure when she heard the words, "I'm wondering how much box office "Inception" can win on the first day, and whether it can break the record."

"What's the rush, you'll know when you read the news tomorrow morning." Chen Hao laughed.

"Of course I know, but I can't wait, I really want to know the result now." Yaya said, "By the way, why don't we go to the theater now to check the attendance?"

After all, this is Yaya's first major production, and it is directed by her boyfriend, plus Chen Hao's rhetoric before, so Yaya is very concerned about the film's box office performance.

"I haven't eaten yet." Chen Hao didn't really want to go, because even though it was night, the two of them would definitely have to dress up when they went out.

"There is no food at home, I just went out to buy you something to eat, let's go." Yaya stood up immediately, and then went upstairs to change clothes.

Ten minutes later, Yaya hurried downstairs, dressed up Chen Hao who was lying on the sofa, and ran out of the villa with her boyfriend.

The two of them went to Haotian Cinemas, which can be regarded as contributing some income to their theaters. First, they bought some food, and then entered the cinemas, but they were a little confused when they first entered.

Because there was actually a long line of five in front of the ticket counter, and the rest chairs next to it were full of spectators waiting to enter to watch the movie.

"What's the situation? Why are you queuing up?" Yaya looked puzzled, and then said excitedly, "Do you want to buy tickets for "Inception", but the tickets are sold out?"

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, and felt that it must be, because not only recently, but the only blockbuster movie released within 2 months is "Inception"!
Moreover, generally even popular movies will not cause such a crowded situation!

"Haha, fortunately, I bought the ticket first on Taopiao. Otherwise, I would have to wait in line like them."

"Really, I thought I could buy tickets on the spot, but I really didn't expect it to become so popular."

"I don't even think that this is a sci-fi blockbuster that Chen Hao spent 1.6 million US dollars to shoot. There are too many people looking forward to this movie."

……

With the help of Haotian Entertainment Group, Taopiao.com has developed rapidly. At present, it has reached cooperation with many theaters for online ticket purchases, and its own Haotian Cinema is naturally one of them.

Although most audiences are not very accustomed to this way of buying tickets, there are still quite a few young people chasing the trend.

The people who bought the tickets looked at the crowded line in front of them, and they were naturally very happy, and they also answered Yaya's question from the side. These people were indeed waiting to buy movie tickets for "Inception".

After Yaya and Chen Hao looked at each other, they couldn't help laughing. It seems that "Inception" is indeed the hottest movie right now.

The two waited for a while, and soon there was noise in front of the line.

"Why is there no more? It sold out so quickly?"

"Sorry, the IMAX show is indeed sold out. If you want to buy it, you can only buy it after twelve o'clock."

"What about the 3D scene?"

"The 3D games sold out earlier."

"Let's go to the normal field then!"

"For ordinary venues, the ones before 11:30 are also sold out, and now the only ones to buy are after 11:30."

"Okay, okay, it's 11:30."

……

"Beauty, can you tell your manager to increase the lineup of "Inception"? No one has watched "Frontline Anti-drug" and "Post-80s", so we can reduce the lineup."

"That's right, so many people are waiting to watch "Inception", so the other movies will be reduced a few times!"

"That's right, if you have money, you won't make it!"

……

Hearing this, Chen Hao looked at Yaya who was smiling from ear to ear and said in a low voice, "It seems that we won't be able to see it tonight, let's go back first!"

"Okay!" Yaya nodded, she had already got the answer she wanted, and Yaya was very satisfied.

After returning home, Yaya excitedly danced in the room, and finally jumped into her boyfriend's arms, bowed her head and kissed Chen Hao.

Chen Hao also knew that Yaya was too excited now and needed an injection to calm down.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Hao was woken up by Yaya, "Where's your phone, give it to me!"

Chen Hao shook his head with a smile and handed the phone to Yaya, Yaya hastily turned on her boyfriend's phone, then found the box office information that Sister Shi had sent to Chen Hao, and clicked on it directly.
