Chapter 321 Super Explosive Expected Box Office
With a super high reputation and a super attractive movie plot, the film has created quite good results.

In the mainland market, after the 1.13 million box office in the zero point show, it won 28 million box office on the first day on April 7.95.

In addition to the box office at zero points, "Inception" once again broke Zhang Hao's "The Martian" with 8.93 million box office, and set a first-day box office record in film history with 9.08 million box office.

This data looks exaggerated, but converted into US dollars, it is only 1.29 million US dollars.

The sequels of many well-known Hollywood blockbusters, such as the latest work of "Star Wars", can get nearly [-] million US dollars in box office in North America on the first day.

And after "The Martian" created such an explosive result last year, then "Inception" was less shocking.

The reason is simple, the first to eat crabs is always the most attention.

And now, the second crab is still eaten by Zhang Hao.If it was achieved by other directors, everyone would probably be surprised.

But Zhang Hao, the audience will take it for granted.

Therefore, no one pays attention to the box office results on the first day, and everyone cares more about the plot of "Inception" and various analysis of the plot.

That's why "Film Weekly" made a point, saying that the two consecutive years of film market explosion proves that the Chinese film market is close to the level of the Hollywood market.

Of course, this one is hydrated.

The Hollywood film market system is very complete, and the peripheral system is also very complete. A movie can not only box office, but also peripherals can make profits.

In this regard, the Chinese film market is still quite poor, and very few films can obtain high profits from peripheral products.

On April 29, "Inception" continued to cut a box office of 9.64 million, and broke the record for the highest single-day box office held by "The Martian".

On the third day, the box office of "Inception" experienced a decline, and the decline rate maintained a healthy decline of 30.00%. It won 6.27 million box office.

In the first three days, "Inception" won the weekly box office champion with a box office of 24.99 billion.

All the films that were released at the same time were trembling under the power of "Inception", and only dared to eat leftovers.

The film has made history in the mainland market, and it is not far behind in other markets.

South Korea won US$4376.4 million in three days in the first weekend, and Little Days won US$6758.2 million. They are the two largest single markets and also rank among the local weekly box office champions.

In the Hong Kong and Taiwan regions, a total of 1537.8 million US dollars was cut, and the Southeast Asian region also won 2564.6 million US dollars.

The Asian film market has exploded. With the explosion of the Asian market alone, "Inception" ranked first in the world with a score of 5.1 million US dollars in the first week.

Hollywood film practitioners were shocked to see this scene.

Disney took the opportunity to put forward Zhang Hao's threat theory again, wanting to prevent "Inception" from being introduced to the North American market.

No matter how bad it is, the large-scale distribution of the film in North America must be restricted.

What Zhang Hao did here was also very simple. The news of the postponement of "Guardians of the Galaxy 2", which was scheduled to be released on May [-]th, came out immediately.

When the news came out, Disney immediately stopped its small actions.

Now Disney finds out that when "Inception" is so popular in the Chinese market, its own movie needs the Chinese market very much.

The commercial achievements created by "Inception" also shocked the entire Western world.

Western media never imagined that the hegemony of film culture, which has always been proud, is facing an unprecedented threat.

The point is, now is not the past, nor the future, everyone is getting rich calmly, and no one dares to break the subconscious rules.

Of course, not all filmmakers are hostile to "Inception", at least Zhang Hao's fans in North America and Europe are not.

Since Warner Bros. will not release "Inception" on a large scale in Europe and the United States until July, many European and American fans who have the conditions have gone to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, or Japan and South Korea to watch the film.

Of course, there are a small number of people who think they can understand Chinese, and they will also come to the mainland to watch movies and participate in road shows by the way.

Zhang Hao’s die-hard movie fans, Victoria Case and Adam Gere, led a North American film viewing group of up to [-] people to watch the movie on Hong Kong Island first, and then came to the mainland to participate in the road show.

Of course Zhang Hao remembers this loyal movie fan. During the road show in Guangzhou, he clicked on Victoria Keys.

"Hey, I saw that there are still quite a few foreign movie fans, and I also saw a familiar person, Vicky?"

Victoria Case stood up, smiled sweetly, and greeted Zhang Hao: "Hello, Chris Zhang."

"Wow, I saw you again. You were here during the road show of "The Martian" last year, weren't you?"

"Yes……"

"How did you feel after watching the movie?"

Victoria Keith immediately said excitedly: "I have never enjoyed such a film in the cinema, this is an unparalleled masterpiece, and I and all the fans love it very much.

I want to ask, Director Zhang, will you go to the North American road show?There are many loyal movie fans like me in North America waiting for you to go to North America and meet them face to face. "

Zhang Hao turned around and asked the producer Liu Hao: "I remember there are road shows in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, right?"

Liu Hao nodded and said, "Yes, we have arranged a roadshow."

"Now you are satisfied, Vicky, we will go to North America for a road show." Zhang Hao replied to Victoria Case.

Victoria Keith was pleasantly surprised, and she wanted to share the good news with Zhang Hao fans in North America.

In fact, the North American roadshow started in July after the Asian roadshow ended.In addition to the three cities in North America, there are roadshows in Paris, London, Rome, Berlin and other regions.

Of course, roadshows around Asia are also indispensable, such as Hong Kong Island, Seoul, Busan, Tokyo, Osaka, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and so on.

Even Indian filmmakers invited the crew to Kolkata and Mumbai for roadshows, but they didn't go because of the bad situation in India.

For this "Inception" roadshow, Zhang Hao also responded to the call from above to enrich the spiritual life of the people in the west, so he carried out all the roadshow activities to WLMQ.

It's not that I don't want to go to other places, but it's meaningless. After all, watching movies is more popular in cities in the central and eastern regions.

The continuous popularity of the film has made many people full of traffic.

In fact, not only European and American fans went to Asia to watch this film, but also many European and American filmmakers.

Matt Damon, who missed the Oscar winner this year because he starred in "The Great Wall", watched the movie in Tokyo. After he came out, he commented:

"If "The Great Wall" is directed by Zhang Hao, maybe this movie can be saved, and I also hope to cooperate with Zhang Hao in a movie."

Regarding the evaluation of "Inception", Matt Damon said: "I think this is an unparalleled sci-fi masterpiece. Even in Hollywood, such works are absolutely rare."

Chinese netizens commented on this: "It's not that it's rare, but it's not seen at all."

Leonardo DiCaprio, who also watched the movie in Tokyo, said to reporters: "I like the role of Ke Meng very much, I think it is prepared for me.

If there is a Hollywood version, I hope I can play the male lead. "

What Xiao Lizi didn't know was that in the original timeline, he really acted in this movie, and it was also his masterpiece.

Unlike these two, James Cameron even came to the mainland and talked about the movie with Zhang Hao at the China-US Film Exchange Forum.

"Absolutely a good work, a masterpiece of original sci-fi. It is really remarkable that Zhang can release such a sci-fi work when there are very few original masterpieces."

James Cameron has always been very optimistic about Zhang Hao, and he was the one who recommended Zhang Hao to Warner Pictures to direct the Batman movie.

So much so that Hollywood has spread privately whether Zhang Hao is the illegitimate son of James Cameron.

You must know that Zhang Hao’s mother, Zhang Yu, is single. It is possible that James Cameron went to China in the 80s, and then...

Of course, this is just a joke, not many people believe it.

Of course, amid all the praise, there are not no bad reviews.It goes without saying that staunch anti-Zhang Haoists continue to smear the film.

The Southern Metropolis Daily, which is the bridgehead of the American daddy and the main front of the anti-Zhang Haoists, vigorously criticized "Inception" with a headline that was mysterious.

The critical article directly pointed out: ""Inception" should not be appreciated as a great movie, everyone should wake up! Don't indulge in it anymore!"

And pointed out in the article that this movie is just a metaphor for the great performance of delusional maniacs, a metaphor for self.

"It lacks the sensibility of Spielberg's Minority Report, and the momentum of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and Alien.

There is no crisp dialogue and stylish black-clothed villains in "The Matrix", and it is not even as strong as the independent film "White Night" in terms of disrupting the balance. "

The same goes for some other anti-Zhang Hao media, who believe that "Inception" is a sadistic movie that is loud and sad.

These remarks angered Zhang Hao's fans and all audiences who liked the movie, and soon the comment area was flooded by Zhang Jiajun, with hundreds of thousands of comments.

"If Inception isn't a good movie? What is a good movie?"

"Looking at the movies you listed, you can tell who you are. Is the moon in foreign countries really that round?"

"I don't know if the conscience of the media is being fed to the dog. If none of Zhang Hao's works can be called good movies, then there will be no good movies."

Fans frantically defended the film, and such online public opinion will also attract ordinary audiences who would not otherwise have planned to watch the film.

This kind of debate can't be said to be good or bad, but it definitely brought extraordinary enthusiasm to "Inception".

Zhang Hao is also very clear that "Inception" is not a work like "Titanic", and if it can't get enough box office during the screening period, it will not be enough to complete the scheduled goal.

It's just that these debates are limited to the Internet and do not affect the popularity of the movie itself.

However, a report letter exposed by the media completely changed this situation.
