Chapter 841 The New Champion of North American Foreign Language Film Box Office Rankings

"Inception" was slightly ahead of "Avatar" at the box office during the same period (11 days), and everyone couldn't help but gasp!
Could it be that Chen Hao's wild words are really going to become reality?

Although "Avatar" raked in 13.5 billion yuan at the box office like a god, countless filmmakers lamented that this record may have to wait another five years before it can be broken.

After all, the box office of "Avatar" is three times that of "Edge of Tomorrow", the previous box office champion of mainland film history!
But when "Inception" scored 9.8 points two weeks later, it was called a masterpiece by countless people, and it was able to lead the box office of "Avatar" in the same period.

And since there is no other blockbuster movie in the entire summer, many people already feel that perhaps Chen Hao's rhetoric can really come true!

Undoubtedly, in the next two months, the entire mainland film industry will only focus on one thing, and that is whether "Inception" can catch up with "Avatar"!
At the same time, Smart once again sent the North American box office performance of "Inception" in the next week.

North American weekend box office list (2010.7.9-2010.7.11):
No. 1, "Inception", weekend box office of 4351 million US dollars, Haotian Films, cumulative box office of 14366 million US dollars, 3792 theaters, a decrease of 30.7% compared with last week, production cost of 16000 million US dollars;
No. 2, "Agent Sauter", with a weekend box office of 3650 million US dollars, Sony Columbia, with a cumulative box office of 3650 million US dollars, 3612 theaters, and a production cost of 11000 million US dollars;
No. 3, "Despicable Me", with a weekend box office of 2410 million US dollars, Haotian special effects, a cumulative box office of 16170 million US dollars, 3600 theaters, a decrease of 26.5% compared with last week, and a cost of 1050 million US dollars;
……

"Inception" controlled the decline at 30.7% with its super high reputation, and secured a second-week score of around US$3792 million in 11500 theaters with an average of US$4351 for a single venue, shocking Lianzhuang.

This seems to be the smallest drop after "Avatar" among the top-ranked works in recent years. No wonder many people in the industry exclaimed: This film has the potential to slowly pass the 3 million US dollar barrier.

In any case, it has become a fact that "Inception" broke through 2 million US dollars. This will be the second film of the leading actor Leonardo DiCaprio and the seventh North American 7 million-level work of director Chen Hao.

"Matrix 2: Reloaded" with similar difficult sci-fi themes once earned 2.8 million US dollars. Compared with the R-rated "Reloaded", "Inception" has a huge advantage of PG-13. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out. The possibility of making long-term efforts to surpass the predecessors.

Another frame of reference is more valuable for reference. The well-known masterpiece "Star Trek" in the summer file last year had a figure of 4303 million/1.47 million US dollars in the same period in the second weekend. "Inception" seems to be carved out of a mold.

"Star Trek" released in early May has too many powerful enemies behind it, so the final revenue is 5 million US dollars. "Inception" has a great possibility to surpass "Star Trek".

""Inception" accumulated a two-week box office of 1.4366 million U.S. dollars, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" surpassed 1.28 million U.S. dollars, and won the top spot in the foreign language box office rankings in North America!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
""Inception" breaks "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"'s 10-year-old North American foreign-language film box office record!" --- "Los Angeles Times"

"Chen Hao has finally topped the box office of foreign language films in North America, and the record will continue to be rewritten!" - "Hollywood Reporter"

……

With the super high box office of 2 million US dollars in 1.4366 weeks, Chen Hao directly topped the North American foreign language film box office rankings!
The North American media has long predicted that Chen Hao is the foreign director who is most likely to break this record, but he did not expect this day to come.

Previously, Chen Hao's Chinese-language films have occupied 6 of the top ten foreign-language film box office rankings in North America!
Among them, the previous year's "2012" had a box office of 9250 million US dollars, almost exceeding [-] million, but it still failed to shake the throne of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Although he knew that Chen Hao should break this record, he didn't expect to win the championship all of a sudden.

Moreover, it took only 2 weeks to reach the top of the box office, which is quite different from the long-term blockbuster that everyone expected, and then to achieve the overtake.

Although Leonardo, Marion Cotillard and many other Hollywood stars have joined here, it can be regarded as a considerable advantage, but all the investment in "Inception" comes from mainland film companies, and it is indeed a Chinese-language film.

At the same time, two weeks after its global release, "Inception" officially broke through the $2 million mark at the global box office, reaching $3 million.

This box office result has surpassed the US$3.06 million box office of "Edge of Tomorrow", becoming the second place in the global box office of domestic films directed by Chen Hao!

Second only to "3.24" with US$2012 million, of course, it is only a matter of time before "Inception" surpasses "2012" and becomes the number one!

"Chen Hao surpassed Li Yong and became the world's number one Chinese-speaking business leader!"--Douyan.com

"Chen Hao dominates the foreign language film box office rankings in North America, accounting for seven out of ten!" --- New Wolf Entertainment
……

When the news that "Inception" surpassed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the box office spread back to the mainland, the whole mainland was boiling!
Although Li An is from Baodao Province, due to historical reasons, it is obvious that Chen Hao is more friendly to everyone, after all, he is a native of the mainland!

This also makes the film industry in the mainland more proud. After all, as the film market in the mainland becomes more and more popular, the mainland has become the center of Chinese-language movies.

However, Xiangjiang and Baodao films, which had been brilliant for more than 20 years, have already come to an end, but because of their experience and talent advantages, they still have a considerable right to speak.

However, as the box office of the four major directors, Guoshi, Feng Dapao, Chen Kaige, and Chen Hao, has repeatedly hit new highs, there are also young directors such as Lu Chuan, Ning Hao, and Yang Qing.

The continuous emergence of talents in the mainland film industry, coupled with the huge market size, has made the mainland film industry more confident and bullish.

Chen Hao, in particular, kept breaking various international box office records of Xiangjiang and Formosa films, which made everyone happy.

Now it has broken a 10-year-old record in Hollywood, and everyone is so excited!

The media continued to stir it up, and many filmmakers also came out to stand for Chen Hao.

Han Sanpin: This achievement is hard-won. It is one of the major achievements since the reform of the mainland film industry for many years, and it also proves and heralds the vast prospects of the mainland film market.

At the same time, we also need more young directors like Chen Hao, and super blockbusters like "Inception", which perfectly integrates art and commerce, so that we can go faster and more steadily!

Yu Dong: I am not surprised at all, because Chen Hao has this potential and strength!Yes, he has the potential to be one of the best directors in the world.

Although he is only 30 years old and can only be regarded as a teenager among directors, he is now a world-class director.

Zhang Zhao: I am very pleased and proud to hear this news. This proves that the film market in our mainland is getting better and better. As long as you make good works with your heart, they will definitely be recognized by everyone.

As for Chen Hao, I have already said that he is a genius director once in 50 years!

……

In addition, there are heated discussions on the Internet!

Qinglian Earth: Congratulations to Chen Hao for breaking another record. As far as the box office is concerned, Chen Hao is really unrivaled among Chinese directors!
China Entertainment Reporter: Sure enough, this record was broken by Chen Hao, 10 years!Just like Chen Hao broke the record of "Titanic"!Awesome!
I am 1875: Congratulations, congratulations, I am going to play "Inception" again!
Idlers in the Alley: I lived in the same era as Chen Haosheng, and I really feel sad for other directors!
Gao ruthlessly pulls the big demon king: Chen Hao is really strong, and now he is actually 30 days away from turning 30 years old. He simply does not give other directors a chance to survive!

Looking for a good book to pass the boredom: I am afraid that in the future box office records, everyone can only find the names of other directors in a pile of Chen Hao!

……

At the same time, the navy of Haotian Films is also constantly posting to increase the popularity and discussion, taking advantage of the opportunity to continue promoting "Inception", hoping to achieve another box office success.

At this time, after Chen Hao received a text message from Xiaohu, he couldn't help but see the light in his eyes, this deadly fairy!

It turned out that Xiaohu finished filming "Zhu Xian", and returned to the imperial capital to rest for 2 days before reporting to the crew of "Gong Suo Xin Yu", so he asked Chen Hao to have fun tonight!
After reading several sets of different cosplays in the information, Chen Hao endured his excitement and went to the company. Along the way, he thought of Xiaohu tonight, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

In the company, Chen Haoqiang suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, dealt with his work, then spent the day in anxiety, and went straight to Xiaohu's villa after get off work.

After arriving at the villa, Chen Hao ran over to open the door, and then saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the sofa, quickly walked over to embrace the beauty's waist, and kissed the red lips.

But soon, Chen Hao was pushed away fiercely!

It stands to reason that with Chen Hao's strength, he would not be pushed away easily, but Chen Hao soon realized that he kissed the wrong person, so he didn't dare to use any force.

"Why are you here?" Chen Hao looked at the charming and alluring Qin Lan in front of him, and asked awkwardly.

Qin Lan blushed and stared at Chen Hao out of breath.

"Day, Mr. Chen is here!" At this moment, Xiaohu's voice came from the stairs, and he walked in front of the two of them very quickly.

Chen Hao quickly gestured to Xiaohu with his eyes, what's going on?What about surprises and excitement?
Xiaohu looked apologetically, then turned to Qin Lan, "Sister Lan, you go up too, I'll be right there, okay?"

Qin Lan recovered a little at this time, nodded, then glanced at Chen Hao again, without saying a word, as if nothing happened just now, quietly went upstairs.

"Don't look!" Xiaohu couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch Chen Hao who was staring at Qin Lan's beautiful shadow.

"Hiss! No, what's going on with you here?" Chen Hao was in pain, and hurriedly complained first.

"I didn't expect that either!" Xiaohu said annoyedly, "I just posted a finished microblog, and my sisters saw it, and then they came here without telling me."

"They only know about the Daping floor, how could they know about this villa?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

Xiaohu sneered when she heard the words. She told her Teddy sister group on purpose. Apart from showing off, she wanted them to recognize the reality.

Chen Hao is true to her, if you want to make the sisters clear-headed, don't meet Chen Hao and go up to the man!

"Then won't you call and tell me?" Chen Hao said angrily when he saw this.

"You and they came here one after another, and, besides, there are things I prepared in the room, so I have to put them away quickly, and I don't have time to notify you." Xiaohu said with a charming white look at Chen Hao.

"They?" Chen Hao frowned upon hearing this, "Your sister group still come here to meet up often?"

"Not really." Xiaohu said with a sneer, "Occasionally, only occasionally!"

In fact, ever since Xiaohu knew that Xiaohu had this villa and a large flat, and that Chen Hao would come over from time to time, a group of sisters who looked like individuals would find various excuses to come here from time to time!

After all, in the Daping layer, the few people had a crazy night.

They confronted Chen Hao face to face, and they didn't dare to ask for conditions, but they always hoped to get along sometime and get some benefits for themselves.

After all, Chen Hao is the head of Haotian, and everyone has known each other at a negative distance. They know each other's strengths and depths. Acting like a baby and asking for some resources is not too much!
Therefore, the sister group would come to the party whenever Xiaohu had time, not only to please Xiaohu, but they might not have the intention of meeting Chen Hao again.

As for the little fox of the ghost spirit, he also understands the sister's plan, and he is also a little worried. After all, it is fireproof, anti-theft and girlfriend-proof, but he can't stand the flattery of the sisters, so he doesn't shy away from gathering here.

The sisters often come here for their own purposes, and now that Xiaohu is finished, maybe the two who haven't seen each other for a long time will meet again, so the sisters came here without saying hello.

Sure enough, Huangtian paid off, and he really ran into Chen Hao.

"Then I'll go first!" Chen Hao said with a disappointed face.

Just as he turned around, he was pulled back by the little fox, "You, stay, stay, okay?"

"Huh?" Chen Hao asked in surprise.

The little fox said, "Anyway, Qin Lan has seen it, and everyone must know it. Even if you leave, you are just deceiving yourself. Why don't you just stay!"

Thinking of Yaya's current scene, Xiaohu felt a little apprehensive. If he wanted Chen Hao to make an official appearance in front of his sisters, it would be tantamount to admitting his status!
Seeing that Chen Hao was still frowning, Xiaohu said with some concerns, "Don't worry, with your current status, they don't dare to talk nonsense, and you are so familiar with them, what's the matter with showing your face? have eaten?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao recalled that night, and couldn't help being a little excited and embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then what did you say in the text message?"

"Don't worry, I will do what I say." Xiaohu gave Chen Hao a flirtatious look.

"Okay, I'll go next door for a meal." Chen Hao said.

"Really?" Xiaohu immediately jumped up and hugged Chen Hao, "Then I'll ask them to come down to eat first, and then go swimming." After speaking, he went upstairs joltingly.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Hao and Xiaohu's sister group sat at the dining table, ready to eat.

Qin Lan, Yuan Shanshan, Reyizha and Xiong Naijin were all there, staring at Chen Hao from time to time, and looking at Xiaohu with envious eyes, although they were concealed, they could still detect it.

As for what happened that night, everyone has a tacit understanding!

"It's rare for everyone to get together today, and Chairman Chen is here, let's have a drink!" Xiong Nai smiled tightly, and looked at Xiaohu after speaking.

"It's bad, I can't drink!" Chen Hao frowned when he heard about drinking. He still hasn't figured out what happened in South Korea last time.

"Or, forget it!" Qin Lan said suddenly.

"We used to drink a little when we were together, right, little fox?" Yuan Shanshan looked at Qin Lan in surprise, and continued.

Xiaohu grinned at the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, looked at Chen Hao and said, "Why don't you just drink a little, and make sure you don't drink too much."

Chen Hao watched Xiaohu wink at him, and wanted to show her face, so he said, "Okay, just have a drink!"

"It's still useful for Xiaohu to speak!" Reyizha laughed.

Afterwards, under the booing of everyone, Xiaohu brought the wine, and Chen Hao inevitably became the target of everyone's siege.

Looking at several beauties accompanying him, it's just that the eyes of these women are a little scary.

Fortunately, Xiaohu was in the way, and Qin Lan also helped. Chen Hao didn't drink much, but he still started to feel a little groggy.

Although the amount of alcohol has increased a lot compared to before, but the beauty can't stand the toast!

"Okay, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Chen Hao shook his head and said a little more soberly.

Seeing Chen Hao's appearance, Xiaohu said in order to show the close relationship between the two, "Why don't you take a bath first, wake up before you leave."

Chen Hao nodded upon hearing the words, "Alright then!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Hao walked upstairs unsteadily under the complicated gazes of the Teddy sisters.

As for the rest of the sister group, they laughed and went swimming in the swimming pool on the third floor.

Half an hour later, among the sisters who were chatting hotly, Qin Lan said, "Mr. Chen should leave, right?"

"It's been so long, it must be gone, men take a shower very quickly." Yuan Shanshan said.

"Okay, I'll go to the bathroom!" Qin Lan said, and then went downstairs in her swimsuit.

　Thanks to "Qinglian Earth" for the 1500 reward!
