Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 354 Full simultaneous release in overseas markets

"..."

At the same time, Xu Nian finally received a call from Meng Chao and learned that The Wandering Earth had broken the first-day record in Chinese film and television history.

I also know that it almost broke the record and exceeded 6 million box office at the same time.

Mr. Xu was very pleased with this.

My box office appeal is really not overshadowed. Just a little effort is enough to reach the limit of domestic entertainment.

Meng Chao knew how to brag, and he kept saying: "The top class, there will be a difference from now on."

"Your name becoming a top-notch person is already a top-notch honor."

"Soon... this trend will spread around the world and become the consensus of the global entertainment industry."

"It is foreseeable that you will become the number one box office player in the world, and no one can stop you."

After hearing about it, Xu Nian took the initiative to stop: "That's okay, that's okay. If you have any questions, please contact me again."

Meng Chao: "Okay, you can play slowly."

Recently, he wished that Xu Nian could take more time off, because it was getting more difficult to take care of his baby.

It should be said that it will be difficult to take care of him next time.

It's hard for a few months, it's hard for one or two years old, it's even harder when you get older, and it only gets better gradually when you're a teenager.

Not that many people dislike dogs.

Needless to say, Meng Chao has indeed caught up with a good time. The current stage is exactly the stage that Master Xu does not want to have any schedule.

Compared to last year, there are actually only two schedules this year, including a concert and an appearance in The Wandering Earth.

The filming cycle of The Wandering Earth is relatively long compared to the past, but it’s just that.

Unlike last year, we actually made three movies in total.

There are also various itineraries.

But in fact, the impact is not big, because Meng Chao has still made some money in the past two years.

Both parties have parents. If that doesn't work, you can still hire a confinement nanny. Taking care of the children won't be too much pressure...

.........

Compared with Mr. Xu's relaxation, the surfers were not so calm.

Everyone wants to end this day quickly so that they can know the final first-day box office figures of The Wandering Earth.

Especially some contestants who have watched The Wandering Earth and spontaneously became fans of the movie.

They now want the whole world to know about this movie.

I wish the whole world could go see this movie.

"Time passes too slowly, too slowly. Didn't this night pass by just scrolling through the video?"

"It's coming soon. I just watched it. 9:45 is the last screening nationwide."

"Don't have to wait until 12 o'clock?"

"The box office statistics on the first day will only end when the last screening begins."

"I see, that's really fast, but this first-day box office record won't be very high. It has just exceeded 7 million."

"It has reached the limit. It is a pity that the pre-sale box office is not counted, otherwise it can be said that The Wandering Earth has exceeded 20 billion now."

"..."

In addition to these speeches focusing on box office, there are actually more speeches related to plot discussions.

Putting aside the outstanding special effects of The Wandering Earth, and putting aside the outstanding performance of Xu Nian who plays two roles, the plot of The Wandering Earth is still good.

At least the frame isn't bad.

Probably because of Xu Nian's experience, Chen Yifan and other core creative staff realized the feasibility of the series of movies very early.

So a lot of framework design was done during the script writing and design process.

Then a lot of connection design was carried out.

Although it was not fully reflected in the actual released version, some hidden plot points were still made.

This makes some real movie fans very interested in some unfinished meanings in the plot.

“I guess the design of The Wandering Earth may be a large series, and this first part is not so much the first part as the second part;

The next film will most likely be a story set before the era of the wandering earth, and it will most likely have some designs that subvert imagination;

I can feel that there are actually some excellent symmetrical aesthetic designs in this film, and I even feel that the highlight was deliberately abandoned for the sake of the second film;

Considering that Xu Peiqiang is played by Xu, it can be expected that Xu Peiqiang must be the core protagonist of the second part... but he may be one of them. "

“It’s already very exciting, or it’s beyond my imagination that domestic science fiction movies can achieve this level;

However, I am still looking forward to the follow-up plot. The advantages of being both a director and a screenwriter are fully demonstrated in this movie;

It basically captured the love of the first batch of viewers, and it’s hard not to watch the next one when it comes out. "

"..."

Amid countless speeches and discussions, the time soon reached 10 pm, and the box office statistics for the first day of The Wandering Earth were fully released.

The final box office on the first day was set at... 7.67 million.

It's much higher than many people's expectations, and lower than some people's expectations.

Some viewers who loved it too much initially thought the box office could exceed 10 billion.

I can only say that public business is really scary sometimes.

Based on the domestic population and the number of consumer groups, the average price of the Wandering Earth 3D movie is 65 yuan.

If 65 million people watch it, there will be a box office of billion.

In fact, sometimes more than 100 million people support it.

For example, Infernal Affairs had more than 1.5 million supporters at that time...

…………

On October 2nd, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the producers of The Wandering Earth announced through Weibo and other channels that the global release of The Wandering Earth will be launched today.

It means that the team has contacted distribution in many countries or regions around the world in recent days. It has been confirmed that it will be released simultaneously around the world on October 11th.

After all, National Day is only a domestic holiday, not a global holiday.

The second thing is that although The Wandering Earth also has some international publicity and promotion, it is not very good.

It still takes time to carry out a wave of concentrated promotion.

The reason for this announcement is actually because it needs a little help from domestic audiences in the international market.

Or... Amway.

then……

"Okay, okay, you guys have this plan of wandering the earth. I heard it in America. You want us to help bring benefits to the whole world, right?"

"There is no way. I don't understand English at all. I can't even think about Amway. Why should foreigners watch such a good movie?"

"That's right, excellent movies should only be seen by us, not foreigners."

"You're dumbfounded. You didn't expect it. You made the wrong calculation on your abacus!"

"..."

"It's a joke, but you still have to support it. I have edited multiple versions of the promotional slogans in English, French, Russian, and Arabic. Friends in need can pick them up."

"It's rare that The Wandering Earth is so good. Overall, it even exceeds Hollywood standards. Give it a try."

"Push it."

"..."

Again, when netizens are free, they are actually willing to do anything.

Especially when many people become active in a rush, it is easier to follow the herd.

Although I knew what the producer had planned, the result was still what the producer wanted.

.........

This year’s National Day not only includes National Day, but also the Mid-Autumn Festival. The holiday atmosphere is actually a bit stronger than in previous years.

So much so that the Wandering Earth ushered in a new peak on the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 6th.

The box office that day exceeded the third day of release and exceeded 6 million again.

It continued the good trend of exceeding 500 million for six consecutive days.

After the eight-day National Day holiday, the box office of The Wandering Earth reached 8 billion.

The daily average is more than 5 million.

Another small record.

However, judging from this trend, it is very difficult to surpass Infernal Affairs’ 73.9 billion.

The trend of most movies is basically to get 70-80% of the final box office within a certain prime period.

Even if the release key is extended in the future, it will still be less than half a day in a month.

The audience is there.

No tricks.

According to the specific domestic revenue situation and taking into account various circumstances, the theoretical maximum box office value of a movie is only more than 200 billion.

However, this box office after 8 days is enough to prove the success of this movie.

And considering the good foundation laid for the second part in various designs, the second part should have a very outstanding explosion...

…………

With the passage of time, promotion in various aspects, and the spontaneous interest of viewers on platforms such as the international version of Weibo, The Wandering Earth has gained international popularity.

At the same time, some members of the Wandering Earth creative team also rushed to the North American market for roadshow promotion.

Among them, there is no... Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu is so cool now that he doesn't know what year it is today, and he doesn't pay attention to such trivial matters at all.

A very important point is... Xu Nian actually wants to see what kind of development trend international publicity will eventually develop without his involvement.

Also, The Wandering Earth has French Rose and Scarlett as guest stars after all.

The effect of their efforts also needs to be seen through the market.

Xu's participation in promotions is sometimes really cunning. In name, Xu Nian is not an international superstar, but in fact his popularity may be stronger than that of ordinary international superstars.

The popularity here includes international popularity.

It should be noted that Xu Nian’s trip to North America and the paralysis of one or two airport blocks can already illustrate the problem...

In this way, on October 10, some countries in the Asia-Pacific region took the lead in releasing The Wandering Earth, and the performance was gratifying.

Next is the North American market, which also performed well.

A dozen hours after it was released, word-of-mouth began to gain traction in North America, and audiences around the world looked at it surprisingly unanimously.

Everyone thinks this is a science fiction film with an unconventional concept.

It also performed very well at the box office, and one of them was amazing...

The box office on the first day of release in North America reached US$7800 million!

This is a figure that many Hollywood movies cannot achieve! Only a handful of films have surpassed this number so far.

Unfortunately, it did not exceed 100 million US dollars.

Obviously, this result is very, very amazing, and it also shows from the side that Scarlett's appeal is not bad.

To achieve this performance, Scarlett contributed a lot... For example, her personal benefits may even exceed 3000 million US dollars.

This is an exchange of interests.

It is just to verify the feasibility of a certain aspect of the Chinese film and television overseas plan.

For example, we can directly invite internationally renowned artists to star in excellent movies, thereby promoting overseas expansion.

The answer I got now is pretty good...
