China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 203 Domestic first-day box office and global first-day box office

This can be said to be the strongest advertisement in history, because other programs cannot achieve this kind of comprehensive coverage.Only this program basically did more than [-]% or [-]% coverage, so how big will this impact be?How much box office can it bring?Unknown, I can only look at the real box office data of the next day.

He Fang has been busy all day, but he is pained and happy. The response to the movie is very good.Of course, this is not just one of the joys.And the second happiness is that Zhang Qian bought back the copyright of "Killing Reincarnation" without adding money.

Sure enough, Hiroshi Sakurazaka still didn't resist He Fang's persecution, and finally chose to earn 100 million US dollars.

This is the right choice. As a manga writer, how could he be able to sell film and television copyrights every day? Why not sell the one with the most money after such a hard-won opportunity?
The most important thing is that through watching the movie at the zero point scene, coupled with the young guy's narration, he solved two other concerns in his mind. One is He Fang's ability to make blockbuster movies, and the other is whether it will be because of He Fang's restraint in "Pacific Rim". The plot of the island country will bring about problems of social reaction and self-psychological effects.

Of course, after he signed the contract, there were already a lot of protests and scolding in the media of the island country, and some people criticized the plot problem in "Pacific Rim" that intentionally hurt the feelings of the island country.

But He Fang had thought about this issue a long time ago and planned it in advance, so there are a group of people on the Internet who support ""Pacific Rim" to alert young people in island countries", plus "Pacific Rim"'s official apology and explanation, and even He Fang's personal video , I have never intentionally hurt the feelings of the people of the island country. The misunderstanding caused by the plot of the movie is purely due to the geographical location in the movie. The submarine space node is closer to the island, and the monster is the first to attack here...

Anyway, there are a lot of explanations, the purpose is to eliminate the resistance of the people of the island country.

You can't cheat others in the plot of the movie, and make money from them at the box office. You don't even have a good attitude, do you?He Fang hasn't gotten to this point yet.

Therefore, an appropriate statement and explanation is necessary.

Even so, there are still some island people who are cursing on the Internet, but it is no longer a climate, so I can’t control so much. Their explanations cannot be omnipotent. Once they explain everyone, they will shut up. Too fake.

As time went on, "Pacific Rim" slowly began to be released in other parts of the world.

After taking a shower, He Fang was sitting in front of the computer, drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette, looking at the overall public opinion after today's release. He had to see everyone's feedback if his big movie was released.

After a quick glance in China, it was basically one-sided blowing, but an article caught his attention. After squinting his eyes and thinking for a while, he still sent a Weibo to correct the point of view of this article.

"Today's "Pacific Rim" was released. I don't know if it satisfies the audience, but I have tried my best, and I can only do this for the time being. Of course, I have read some of your comments, and they are generally positive. I am very grateful and also Some friends offered their opinions, and I sincerely accept criticism."

"But I saw an article called "In my lifetime, audiences all over the world must watch [Avatar], and in my lifetime, Chinese audiences must watch [Pacific Rim] to witness the birth of Chinese science fiction movies". After reading this report, I always I feel a little bit of moral kidnapping, as if Chinese viewers have regrets in their lives if they don’t watch "Pacific Rim."

"I personally think that you can't write like this. Watching movies is freedom. It doesn't mean that if you don't watch a certain movie, your life is incomplete, and there are generally moral problems. Therefore, I want to correct it here. Don't have this kind of cognition. Just watch it if you like it. If you don’t like it, don’t force it, that’s freedom.”

"Of course, the author of this article may not have any moral kidnapping thoughts, but it is not certain whether readers will see it that way. So, first of all, I would like to thank the author of this article for his support, and then explain to my friends that watching movies is Freedom. Thank you for your support, if you like it, support as much as possible, and I will strive to make more movies that audiences like.”

He Fang felt that it was necessary to respond specifically to this report, although it seems that this is a common format used in many times in China, such as "If you don't buy it, you are not Chinese", "If you don't support it, you are not patriotic", "You must read it in your life If you don't read ten books, it means you haven't read the book well"...

This is also to correct a bad atmosphere that says wind is rain.

"Although I support "Pacific Rim", I think He Fang is right to say this. Don't engage in moral kidnapping. You can't say that if you don't watch it, your life is incomplete. This is a sensational way."

"It's rare that Director He still speaks out about such a trivial matter. We don't know how many times we have been kidnapped."

"Yes, yes, yes, there should be no moral kidnapping. Audiences are free to go to the movies or not. If you do well, you can go to see it freely. If you don't do well, moral kidnapping is useless."

……

Of course, in addition to checking what's wrong with domestic public opinion, he also went to the Internet to check.

Europe and the United States will not watch it, because it has only been fully released, and it is estimated that few people have seen it yet.But you can look at comments from Asia, such as Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan.

For example, the island nation’s Filmarks website gave “Pacific Rim” a score of 7.3, and one of the highest-rated comments reads:
"If this is not made by a Chinese director, and if there is no plot to drop a nuclear bomb on an island country, I would be willing to give a score of 9 or more. Because the mechs in it are really cool, and the monsters are also very powerful. Such a good movie It shouldn’t be filmed by a Chinese, but once you think about who the director is, then everything makes sense.”

This comment has 3217 likes and 832 follow-up comments. Basically, the content of the reply is similar to the idea of ​​the comment. It is mainly because of these two reasons that fans did not give high marks.

"I personally think that some islanders don't need to be too sensitive. We need to be confident. Although "Pacific Rim" has a plot where nuclear bombs are dropped on island countries, in fact, nuclear bombs are dropped everywhere in the later plots, not only island countries in the whole film. The nuclear bomb was dropped. Let’s not be blinded by this stimulus, everyone, China’s economic aggregate just surpassed ours the year before last, and now the movies are better than ours, shouldn’t we reflect on it?”

"The technology and plot are very cool. I have already bought a whole set of mechs and monsters. He Fang is the pride of the whole of Asia. Shouldn't Americans be hated?"

……

He Fang read the island country's comments for a while, and it's okay, the overall situation is controllable.

Look at the ratings and reviews of the Korean Naver movie rating website again, hey, this... the scene of a car rollover, right?

The overall score of "Pacific Rim" is: 6.3 points, and the comments are even more extreme.

"Are the shopkeepers crazy? They just want to be on an equal footing with the US emperor? Are they only obsessed with movies?"

"Bad review. Although the special effects of fifty cents look good, it's really ridiculous. Rather than thinking about saving the world with the US emperor, the shopkeeper might as well feed their people."

"It's a waste of [-] won, what did I see, a movie about a group of Chinese people dreaming..."

"I think it's pretty good, can you guys watch the movie without emotions?"

……

The movie website in Taiwan Province scored 8.2, and the reviews are fairly fair.

"Wow, the mainland can make such a powerful movie? It's really strong."

"If the mainland really has the weapons in the movie, I will be the first to surrender, and I will definitely not be empty talk, because there is no point in not surrendering."

"They can't even afford tea eggs. This is purely a product of obscenity, and they can save the world, bah!"

"Oh, there is a green frog here. The mainland can't afford tea eggs and can make such a movie. It's really a frog at the bottom of a well."

……

What about Hong Kong?Rating 8.1.

"Although I don't like watching monster-fighting movies very much, I have to admit that He Fang's "Pacific Rim" is really good. For this reason, I bought a mecha figure, which is very beautiful."

"This is what our Hong Kong movies should have achieved, that is &………%￥￥#@"

……

Well, it's very Hong Kong, very teary.

As for Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore, He Fang also took a look at it, and the comments and ratings were more pertinent. They were basically praises, and some congratulated Chinese films for their achievements.

He Fang was scrolling through the online reviews and ratings, smoking a cigarette and drinking coffee. Before he knew it, it was past midnight, and the real-time box office data was released. He Fang received the information immediately.

Picking up the phone to check, it’s okay, it’s okay, 3871 million on the first day, after all, it’s not the Spring Festival, most government agencies haven’t had a holiday yet, and many migrant workers have returned to their hometowns, and some are still on the way.

Therefore, this box office data is already very good, and I believe it will be even more explosive after the first day of the new year.

Early the next morning, the crew of "Pacific Rim" flew to Shanghai, and after one night, "Pacific Rim" was being screened in all regions around the world where it was simultaneously released for more than 24 hours.

As a result, the global box office was released, with RMB 3871 million and US$569 million on the first day in mainland China.

The first day in North America was 1060 million US dollars, 3275 screens were opened, and the box office per screen was 4446 US dollars.

The first day of the rest of the world was 2650 million US dollars, including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

The total box office on the first day of the world was US$4279 million, with a comprehensive score of 8.1 points for North American films, 8.4 points on IMDb, and 3.6 points on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Director He Fang, we just got the data. The global box office data for the first day of "Pacific Rim" is released. How much do you think it will be?" The reporter blocked the "Pacific Rim" crew at the airport.

A lot of movie fans and reporters came up, and then everyone was signing autographs, taking photos and answering questions.The reporter's question about where must be the box office issue.

"Don't think, I already know, our colleagues sent me the data immediately." He Fang laughed.

"Then are you satisfied with the $4279 million on the first day? Is it in your expectation or unexpected?" The reporter asked.

"It can only be said that it is still qualified. For a movie with an investment of more than [-] million US dollars and a production period of more than two years, this data can only be said to be average. However, after all, the Spring Festival holiday has not yet arrived. Foreign weekend box office performances are quite satisfactory. There is a gap between Hollywood blockbusters." He Fang replied.

This is a fact. A blockbuster with special effects of this quality in Hollywood is released, not to mention other places. It can only be regarded as a failure if it does not get a box office of 5000 million US dollars on the first day in North America.

The first day of "Pacific Rim" in North America can only be in the early 1000 million, which means that "Pacific Rim" can get more than [-] million US dollars at the box office in North America. It depends on the stamina.

"Then where do you think the main box office output area of ​​"Pacific Rim" will be?"

"Of course it is China, as well as East Asia and Southeast Asia. Because it happens to be during the Spring Festival, I believe there will be a good effect." After He Fang finished speaking, the security personnel also came to help them separate the flow of people.

Several other people were also questioned by the reporter.

Under the escort of security guards, they boarded the car arranged by Shanghai Lianhe.

"Director He, welcome. I watched the movie and it was really shocking. You have led Huying on a road to success. Do you have time to help us to guide and guide us at Shanghai Film Film Group?" Mr. Ren from Shanghai Film Group came in person He Fang didn't expect to pick up the plane, the key is that he was still hiding in the car and didn't get out for a while.

"Ah, Mr. Ren, what you said really upset me. It's okay to communicate and communicate when you have time, but I have to wait until I finish my work, or I will split myself in half. I can't be too busy."

"Haha... of course..."
