Chapter 149 Listing Cumulative Box Office, Status

It is actually not uncommon for movies to be re-screened, but it is indeed rare for a movie like this one that has only been released for two or three years to be re-screened on a large scale.

However, it is not completely absent. For example, the "Avatar" of later generations began to be re-screened on a large scale less than half a year after its release.

On Thursday, March 3, the re-screening of the three films officially began.

Movies that have been released for two or three years, online pirated resources are already everywhere. Although all three are blockbusters, and the effect of watching movies in theaters is definitely better than that on computers, the thought of spending more than 30 yuan to watch one Many people are still quite entangled in the old movies that can be found online.

At this time, the film studio's promise to announce that part of the box office will be donated has played a big role.About [-]% of the box office of more than [-] yuan is actually for charity. In fact, it is equivalent to watching a movie starring Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Liu Yifei or Li Lianhua for only a dozen yuan. It's a blockbuster action movie, so I don't feel a loss in my heart.

In addition, there are indeed quite a few people who have not watched these three movies, so the re-screening data of the three movies are actually not bad.

3 month 12 day.

The re-screening of "Assassin" won 1100 million box office, "Taken" 980 million, and "Super Body" 950 million.

At noon on March 3, China Film Group officially announced the first-day data of the three re-screened films. For a while, netizens turned themselves into mathematics experts and exchange rate experts, and began to calculate the distance between the three films. distance.

"Converted into US dollars, they are 161 million US dollars, 144 million US dollars and 139 million US dollars respectively. "Super Body" needs to maintain this figure for 4 days to be on the list, and "Assassin" needs 7 days. Both films are very promising .”

"The box office of "Assassin" has exceeded [-] million?! By the way, how many so-called well-known directors' premiere box office can't exceed [-] million, and the re-screening of "Assassin" has passed. It can only be said that Li Mu, Cheng Long, Li Lianlian's box office appeal is really strong!"

"To be honest, I have watched all three movies, but I decided to go to the theater to watch it again. And I feel that many people are like me. When entering the theater, many audiences are discussing the plot. I feel that everyone already knows the plot well. But There are still many people who choose to go to the theater to watch it.”

"I'm going to take my girlfriend to watch "Taken", mainly because I want to tell her that the outside world is very dangerous, so don't just think about traveling."

3月13日，周五，三部影片分别拿下1200万、1000万、990万票房。

On Saturday, March 3, the single-day box office of the three films was still growing, earning 14 million, 1400 million, and 1300 million respectively.

3月15日，周日，三部影片票房分别是1300万、1200万、1200万。

So far, the three films have been re-screened for four days. "Assassin" has won a total of 5000 million box office, "Taken" 4480 million, and "Super Body" 4440 million.

Netizens converted it into US dollars. The four-day box office of "Super Body" was 652 million U.S. dollars, plus the original box office of 3.68 million U.S. dollars, and the result came to a conclusion-the global box office of "Super Body" has reached 3.7452 million U.S. dollars!The current box office of "Batman Begins", which is the 100th in film history, is 3.7185 million US dollars.

This means that "Super Body" has surpassed the 100th place in the global box office!
And it's not just as simple as surpassing one. The global box office of "Eavesdropping on Women's Hearts" ranked 99th on the list was 3.7411 million US dollars, which was also surpassed by "Super Body" with 3.7452 million US dollars. Therefore, "Super Body" has successfully entered the list at this time. It ranks 99th in the world's film history, and it is also the second Asian film to be on the list after "Inception".

At this time, the cumulative box office of "Assassin" has reached 3.69 million US dollars, and it is only one step away from being on the list.

Although "Taken" earned a box office of 658 million US dollars, it seems that there is almost no possibility of making the list.

On March 3, "Assassin" 16 million, "Taken" 780 million, and "Super Body" 730 million.

On March 3, "Assassin" 17 million, "Taken" 550 million, and "Super Body" 510 million.

……

In the end, the three films were screened for a total of 21 days. "Assassin" earned 9700 million box office, "Taken" 9300 million, and "Super Body" 9100 million.

In this way, the global box office of "Super Body" reached 3.8138 million US dollars, so what is the position of this figure in the top [-] box office of global film history?

First of all, it must have surpassed the original 100th place, the $3.71 million of "Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow" directed by Nolan.

Secondly, it also surpassed the US$99 million of "Eavesdropping on Women's Hearts", which was originally ranked 3.7411th.

The film "Beauty and the Beast", which originally ranked 98th, had a global box office of 3.7735 million US dollars, which was also surpassed.

The film "True Lies", which was originally No. 97, had a global box office of 3.7882 million US dollars, exceeding!

The movie "Godzilla", which was originally No. 96, had a global box office of 3.7901 million US dollars, exceeding!

The movie "Back to the Future", which was originally No. 95, had a global box office of 3.8110 million US dollars, exceeding!

The original 94th place movie was the cartoon "Ice Age", with a global box office of 3.8325 million US dollars, which did not exceed.

In other words, after a round of re-screenings, "Super Body" has successfully reached the 95th place in the global box office rankings!
When the results came out, netizens started a heated discussion almost immediately.

"Damn, there are so many movies in my memory. If I hadn't checked the box office top 15 list, I would have forgotten all of these movies. "True Lies", Schwarzenegger is so handsome! It turns out that [-] years have passed in a flash!"

"I feel the same way, I burst into tears when I saw "True Lies". The most memorable point is that the hero's wife danced pole dancing, which is also my first teacher. I still remember seeing this clip accidentally at a friend's house. The days when I searched all over the world for CDs of "True Lies"."

""Back to the Future" is also a good movie. To be precise, there are many classic movies on the list. I will review the most impressive ones later."

"By the way, what rank did "Assassin" kill?"

"The total box office is 3.7626 million US dollars, surpassing the 3.7411 million US dollars of "Eavesdropping on Women's Hearts", ranking 99th."

"That is to say, Li Mu already has three films on the top [-] box office list in global movie history?"

"Of course, "Inception" ranks seventh in the world, "Super Body" ranks No. 90 in the world at fifth, and "Assassin" ranks at No. 90 in the world!"

"Awesome! There are actually three movies directed by Li Mu in the top [-]. Now that director Li Mu is the number one director in the country, no one dares to force him, right?"

"Director Li Mu has been number one in the country for a long time, but some people always said that he hadn't won any awards before, and he didn't have any background, fart! The box office performance is always the first. Director Li Mu's total box office performance is very early. It’s number one in the country, but some people couldn’t accept this reality before!”

"I just calculated. All the films directed by Li Mu, including those directed by Chen Musheng and Shen Junsheng, have a total box office of more than 21 billion US dollars. "Inception" is US$9.56 + "Super Body" is US$3.81 + US$3.76 for "Assassin" + US$3 million for "Taken", excluding the remaining few films mainly for the domestic market, the total box office of these four blockbusters alone exceeds US$20 billion."

"Converted to more than 140 billion yuan, awesome!"

"The most amazing thing is that Li Mu has three other blockbuster films to be released this year. If these three films earn an average box office of 4 million US dollars, then the total box office of director Li Mu will be 33 billion US dollars, converted to 220 billion! "

"Damn it, now the country's total annual box office is only 50 billion. Director Li Mu's personal total box office this year is expected to reach 220 billion?!"

"I don't know if you have discovered it, but in fact, besides Director Li Mu, another person has also become a big winner this time."

"Liu Yifei? That's for sure! People treat Director Li so comfortably, shouldn't it be reasonable for Director Li to earn hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office?"

"No, it's another person."

"That's Cheng Long! There are three re-screenings this time, two of which are works by Brother Cheng Long."

"Well, it's true to say that Brother Cheng Long is actually right, but what I just wanted to talk about is actually Li Lianhua. Let's see, the movie "Super Body", he is the heroine; "Assassin", she is also the heroine. Cheng Long Big brother has long been a global superstar, but what about Li Lianhua? He didn’t have any international influence at all before.”

"Li Lianhua is indeed a big winner. Let's just say that right now, Li Lianhua is directly on the list of the top [-] box office films in global film history! But how do you know that she didn't get the role by making Director Li Mu comfortable? ?”

……

Soon, various headlines appeared on Huaxia's Internet.

"World-class director Li Mu?! Three films have been listed in the top [-] films in global film history. The scary thing is that there are still three films that will be listed this year!"

"How good is director Li Mu? Maybe it won't take until next year, the total box office of all his films will reach 220 billion!"

"How awesome is 220 billion? From 2000 to 2008, the total box office of the national film market was less than 200 billion!"

Everyone was shocked now.

"What? From 2000 to 2008, our total national box office was only 200 billion in eight years?"

“你以为呢？2000年全国总票房8.6亿，2001年8.9亿，2002年是9.5亿！”

"In 2002, the total national box office was only 9.56 million?"

"Why don't you say that "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou has a box office of 1.2 million yuan!"

"Damn it, it's awesome!"

"In the past few years, the national film market has grown rapidly. In 2008, the national total market was already 50 billion."

"Sure enough, the data is afraid of comparison. As soon as the data of the national box office in the past few years is shown, you can immediately discover the awesomeness of Director Li Mu!"

"If it wasn't so awesome, if it wasn't so awesome and became the benchmark for the development of the national film industry, do you think the three movies that have just been re-screened can get such a high box office? Movies that have only been released for two or three years, the Internet is full of resources Why, why do all three films have grossed nearly [-] million yuan at the box office?"

"Why?"

"A lot of units have collectively observed it!"

"I'll wipe it, the public will help you refresh the data?"

"Actually, the main reason is that the movie is really good."

……

The crew of the movie "The Wind".

No matter the cast members or actors, everyone came to congratulate Li Lianhua.

"Sister Lianhua, it's amazing, two of your works are on the list of the top [-] films in global film history!"

"It's amazing! There are only three movies released in Asia, and you, Sister Lianhua, account for two of them!"

"The box office of the two films exceeded 50 billion, which is almost the sum of the national box office for the whole of last year."

"Really cow!"

"50 billion, how big does it need to be piled up?!"

Li Lianhua often responded very modestly:

"The amazing director is Li Mu. I was just lucky enough to play these two roles. In fact, if these two roles were played by other people, they could still get such a high box office."

The crew of "The Wind" can also be regarded as a crew gathered by big names.

Zhou Xun, Li Lianhua, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Xiaoming, Su Youpeng, Wang Zhiwen and so on.

Among them, Zhou Xun and Li Lianhua fought openly and secretly for fan positions and resources in the early years. As a result, each other lost and won, but overall Zhou Xun had the upper hand.Zhou Xun's debut was earlier, and he was full of aura, and he had a big prize, which made Li Lianhua a little overwhelmed for a while.

It wasn't until Li Lianhua boarded Li Mu's big ship that she gained a firm foothold in Huayi. From then on, no one could challenge Li Lianhua's first sister status.

Zhou Xun looked at Li Lianhua, who was like the stars holding the moon, and said in his heart that it was impossible to have no ideas at all.But what if you have an idea?According to the news, the relationship between Li Lianhua and Li Mu is extraordinary, but I haven't even spoken to director Li Mu. How could director Li Mu think of her first if he has a good role?

"It seems that we still need to get involved with Director Li Mu as soon as possible."

All the actors, one counts as one, who doesn't want to shine internationally?But now there are only a few directors with international influence, and among them, director Li Mu is the most powerful, so at this stage, any actor who is a little confident in his own conditions, as long as he has already gained some fame and is trying to find a way to improve it. Actors who have risen to the next level, but any actor who wants to develop in foreign Hollywood, there is no one who does not want to catch Li Mu's line.

Even many actresses are privately prepared to give themselves as gifts to each other.

It's just that I haven't found the right opportunity.

……

The crew hotel, at night.

Li Lianhua and her younger sister Li Xuehua were chatting in the room.

Li Xuehua was the first to say: "Sister, I heard some rumors recently that director Li Mu's expectations for "Gravity" are higher than for "Inception"."

Li Lianhua was speechless and said: "Inception" Hollywood actor and actress joined, and there are countless celebrities. "Gravity" only has two actors. Director Zhang Yimou heard that they still have a supporting role for only a few minutes. No matter what aspect Looking at it, it is unlikely that "Gravity" will surpass "Inception."

Li Xuehua said: "I heard that Director Li used the world's most advanced technology when shooting "Gravity", and I heard that Director James Cameron is also using this technology to shoot a film called "Avatar". Movies. I heard that director Li Mu even privately said that the global box office of "Avatar" would be 20 billion to 30 billion US dollars. The director's expectation for the movie was over $10 billion."

Li Lianhua was surprised when he heard the words: "20 billion-30 billion US dollars? Over 10 billion US dollars?! Every time after talking about a movie directed by Li Mu, and then talking about other domestic movies, there will be a feeling of insanity. If it exceeds 3 million yuan, it is considered a super blockbuster movie!"

"Yes!" Li Xuehua sighed, and after a while she suddenly asked, "By the way, sister, how is your relationship with Li Mu now?"

Li Lianhua said: "You know better than me the relationship between me and him. It has always been good, and we occasionally call to communicate."

Li Xuehua said: "I know this, but after "Super Body", he never asked you to act in a movie again."

Li Lianhua was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe the role is not suitable."

Li Xuehua said, "Actually, the role of Cobb's late wife in "Inception" can be played by a Chinese, so that "Inception" is more like a Chinese movie. In Chinese terms, sister is suitable. There is also the heroine of "Gravity", this role is actually very suitable for sister, but Li Mu finally used Gong Li this time."

Li Lianhua said: "Maybe he has other considerations."

Li Xuehua said, "Sister, have you ever thought about being with him..."

"What with him?" Li Lianhua asked.

Li Xuehua asked: "You know what I want to say."

……

Yang Mi was shocked when she saw the news that director Li Mu’s total box office might reach 220 billion yuan this year. She and Liu Yifei participated in "The Legend of Condor Heroes" together. Liu Yifei played the heroine Xiaolongnv, and she played the Guo Xiang, one of the important supporting roles.

At that time, she felt that although Liu Yifei had better resources than herself, she was not very good at management. Although she was temporarily behind her, she believed that she would have a chance to catch up with Liu Yifei sooner or later.

Now that I have acted in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" again, and she is still the heroine, the distance between the two should have been closer.Liu Yifei has acted in the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series, and he has also acted in it himself, but what about the movies Liu Yifei acted in? !
In fact, the gap between the two has not narrowed over the years, but has expanded, and the key to the expansion is that Liu Yifei has become Li Mu's girlfriend.

"If I can't find a husband like Li Mu, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to catch up with her in my life."

"But how can it be so easy to find a husband or boyfriend of Li Mu's level? Even if it is only [-]% as good as him, it is already very rare."

After a while, Yang Mi thought for a while and said, "Actually, my future boyfriend can only have [-]% of his level!"

After a while, Xu Shi still felt that it was not easy to find, so she thought again: "Actually, [-]% can accept it."

then:

"Or [-]% can try."

"Actually, [-]% shouldn't be too bad."

"Or [-]% I will admit it!"

"At least [-]%, it must not be lowered any further!"

"But why can she find someone like Li Mu, and I can only find someone who is only [-]% as good as him?"

"However, maybe the two of them will break up in two years!"

"Yes, there is no one in the entertainment industry who never breaks up?"

　Thanks to "boring middle-aged man" and "a glass of wine with the wind" for their rewards.
