Chapter 777 [Voldemort 3] Mainland Chinese New Year Billion Handicap

Since "The Promise", Chen Kaige's career as a director has been quite ups and downs.

First, he returned to art films and produced "Mei Lanfang", which restored a bit of reputation.

Immediately, they reorganized "The Orphan of Zhao", completely destroying the little reputation that "Mei Lanfang" had gained.

If it hadn't been for the massive influx of hot money into the mainland film and television industry after 2010, Chen Wuji's career as a director would have been completely cut off.

But despite this, Chen Wuji could only find some small investors after "Zhao Orphan".

So Chen Wuji made a movie called "Search" based on his experience on the Internet in the past few years, which is actually about cyber violence.

After the movie was released, the box office was unexpectedly good because the quality and smoothness of the plot were quite good.

It's just that the audience all knows Lao Chen's temper.

Moreover, there is a huge gap between the plot in this [Search] and what happened to Lao Chen himself.

This 1.73 million yuan box office is definitely not feasible now.

……

"Legend of the Demon Cat" directly took in a box office of 2.43 million yuan, which is stronger than the 2.34 million yuan in the first week of "Taoist Down the Mountain", but the success is limited.

First three days.

The incident in [Search] was caused by an urban white-collar woman accidentally triggering a public opinion storm because she did not give up her seat to an old man.

As for "Legend of the Demon Cat", a movie that was released later, the box office in the second week was even worse than that of "Youth" in the third week. The single-day box office directly dived towards 20 to 30 million yuan.

If we really pay attention to it, the urban white-collar woman played by Gao Yuanyuan is actually quite innocent.

Because March 12th.

The box office was RMB 7425.89 million, the box office was RMB 8736.04 million, and the box office was RMB 8163.17 million.

And Chen Wuji also relied on this "Search" to gain the favor of investors again, and then there were the previous "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" and the current "The Legend of the Demon Cat".

Even the cumulative box office for the three days of the following weekend, "Youth" reached 2.53 million yuan, beating the 2.43 million yuan box office of "The Legend of the Demon Cat".

……

Therefore, the last film [Search] only earned 1.73 million yuan at the box office.

Moreover, in the movie, Chen Wuji also described all the netizens watching in the movie as having their own ugly selfish motives.

Because in the seven days of the next week, "Youth" directly earned 5.09 million yuan in box office, and the average box office in a single day was as high as more than million yuan.

Zhang Nan is here with [Voldemort 3], which will be released simultaneously around the world.

But the dive is clearly not over yet.

But Lao Chen’s own steamed bun incident was entirely instigated by Chen Wuji himself.

But in 2010, if a domestic film was added in front of the top ten in the mainland's annual box office rankings, [Search] could still rank eighth with a box office of 1.73 million yuan.

And in the following week, [Youth] stabilized its single-day box office at 40 to 50 million yuan.

At the same time, "The Legend of the Demon Cat", which used the slogan of blocking "Youth", did not really succeed in blocking "Youth".

Mainland.

Longbow Studios, the world premiere of [Voldemort 3].

Although over the years, Zhang Nan has held premieres in the Mainland for many of her movie projects, so similar news is no longer new.

However, given Zhang Nan's current celebrity status, "Voldemort 3" has not entered the mainland's Spring Festival schedule and will compete with many mainland film and television companies for the market.

So this time at the premiere of [Voldemort 3], many mainland film and television companies and celebrity artists came to support it.

Especially [Operation Red Sea], [Detective Chinatown 2], [Journey to the West], [Monster Hunt 16] and [Ancestors 2] which are scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival on February 2. The creative teams of these five films are all here.

At this time, no one except Zhang Nan realized it.

Among these five films, there are actually two films with a box office of over 3 billion yuan and one film with a box office of over 2 billion yuan.

Also counting the box office sales of the other two movies that were a bit ham-fisted.

This time, the film market during the Spring Festival period has directly exceeded the 10 billion yuan threshold.

Therefore, the main creative staff of these five movies are so generous. Zhang Nan naturally will not use his cold butt to touch other people's hot faces. They are all warm receptions.

However, in terms of the level of hospitality, Zhang Nan treated the creative staff of these five movies differently.

The first ones are of course "Operation Red Sea" and "Detective Chinatown 2", which have a box office of over billion yuan.

Then came [Monster Hunt 2], which grossed more than billion yuan at the box office.

Then came [Journey to the West, My Country], which had a box office of over RMB 700 million.

Finally, there is "The 19th Generation" with a box office of over 100 million yuan.

The reason why the main creative staff of "The Nineteenth Generation" is treated the coldest is not because "The Nineteenth Generation" has the lowest box office.

And Zhang Nan never imagined that there would be a movie that could be in a popular period like the 2018 Spring Festival, with an all-star cast and a comedy genre, but in the end it only made a box office of more than million yuan.

At the same time, Zhang Nan, who already has double-digit children, found Guo Degang's different attitudes toward his two sons a bit difficult to understand.

How can we treat them so differently?

My ex-wife’s eldest son didn’t even finish his studies, so he dropped out of school and taught cross talk at home. My current youngest son went to the best school in BJ. What a huge gap!
Of course.

This is someone else's family matter, and Zhang Nan has nothing to do with it.

……

The next day.

[Voldemort 3]’s mainland premiere box office data is out.

1.31 million yuan.

The box office of this premiere was not high, and it even dropped Zhang Nan's status a bit.

Fortunately, after the early morning of the third day, the box office of "Voldemort 3" was released in time - the box office dropped by 1.72 million yuan and closed at million yuan.

However, the reverse decline of [Voldemort 3] did not last.

On the fourth day, the third day of [Voldemort 3] and the last day of the first week, the single-day box office was released - 1.09 million yuan.

finally.

"Voldemort 3" has a box office performance of 4.22 million yuan in the first three days, directly overtaking the previously released "Youth" and "The Legend of the Demon Cat".

Oh!
Not only "Youth" and "The Legend of the Demon Cat", but also "The Second Generation Fairy: Lucky in This Life" starring Liu Tianxian was released at the same time as Zhang Nan.

However, the box office performance of "Voldemort 3" in the Mainland is still small compared to its overall box office potential due to the subject matter.

The European and American film markets are the main battlefield for [Voldemort 3], and the performance of [Voldemort 3] is indeed outstanding.

For example, the North American movie market directly contributed 3 million U.S. dollars to the box office of "Voldemort " in the first three days.

The European movie market also provided a box office of US$3 million for "Voldemort 1.5" in its first three days.

As a result, the first-week box office of "Voldemort 3" directly exceeded US$4.2 million, and the global box office of US$ billion is basically stable.
