Chapter 286: The Box Office Results of "Datang" That Even Yu Hao Can't Comprehend (Praise for Time 1979)

After the premiere, Lao Mouzi muttered: "The news of the wind will make the water cold" and "Jing Ke will assassinate the Qin Dynasty."

Then his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he already had an idea in his mind.

When there was no one around Yu Hao, Lao Mouzi walked to Yu Hao with a look of urgency and said, "Director Yu, do you think there is a market for this kind of blockbuster movie abroad? I have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible or not."

Yu Hao raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully: "Director Zhang, please tell me."

Lao Mouzi said with sincerity: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold. The strong men never come back. I wonder if there is a market for the story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin? I have some ideas in my mind."

Yu Hao's eyelids twitched, and he thought, "Hero" must have exploded, right?

Speaking of which, this film can be regarded as the first Chinese blockbuster in history and the first mature commercial blockbuster.

The investment was about 1.7 million US dollars, and the film earned a global box office of about million US dollars.

According to the box office at that time, the global box office was about 14 billion, accounting for more than ten percent of the total box office in 02 and 03. According to the inference of some later netizens, in about 20 years, the box office should be about 150 billion.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it was about the same according to the box office share at the time.

Yu Hao asked calmly: "What do Director Zhang have in mind?"

Lao Mouzi smiled and said: "Jing Ke assassinated Qin, the First Emperor, blockbusters..."

After hearing this, Yu Hao was convinced, so he analyzed it very seriously: "It's feasible. Foreign countries are now very interested in Chinese blockbusters, and my "Datang" happened to be the basis. If it is completed, there will definitely be a market. .”

After listening to this, Lao Mouzi said thoughtfully: "Okay, but if you want to film it completely, the investment will be quite large."

After saying that, he looked at Yu Hao eagerly. If it was a small investment, he would find someone to invest by himself, but for a large investment, he might not be sure.

Yu Hao said, dumbfounded, "Well, if Director Zhang writes out the script and it's not too much, I will vote for it and support our domestic blockbusters."

Lao Mouzi happily shook Yu Hao's hand and said, "Okay, okay, it's a great honor for us in China to have an investor like you."

Seeing Lao Mouzi like this, Yu Hao felt a little ashamed. Maybe he would never be able to match this man in terms of his sincerity towards movies. It is not that simple to achieve great achievements in future generations.

The next day, the movie was released simultaneously in Asia, and Yu Hao also led the crew to work on the road show.

After half a month of busy work, a piece of information about the box office of "Datang" in the first ten days and a red-headed document were released.

Beijing Daily: Shocked! "Datang" set a domestic box office record of 100 million in ten days! ! This hit and well-received movie is worth watching.

People's Daily: "Datang" is a movie worth watching for all public officials.

When he saw the first report, Yu Hao said he couldn't understand it.

I thought this movie would be less successful at the box office, but didn't expect it to be so popular?

There was a box office of 100 million in the first ten days, so according to common sense, there is no problem if it reaches 200 million in a month.

After three months, it shouldn’t be a big problem that the box office in mainland China alone will exceed that of “Titanic”, right?

Regarding the latter report, Yu Hao was thoughtful.

Time flies and one month later, there is no need to run for the movie roadshow.

Yu Hao, who was about to take a break, received a call from Mr. Han with a trembling voice:

"Xiao Yu, the first month's box office has been released. I don't even understand the box office now. I didn't expect such a mysterious thing to be completed under my nose."

Yu Hao asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Uncle Han, how tall is it that can make you so excited?"

Mr. Han took a deep breath and said: "The mainland box office alone is 2.1 million, Xiangjiang TV has a total of million, Korea's box office is also out, moviegoers, converted into box office is more than million Yuan,

The most incredible thing is that in my childhood, there were actually 30 billion yen, which is 4.4 million when converted into RMB. I didn’t even dare to think about it. I am very confused now.

As for the rest of Asia, the total is 7.8 million. After calculation, the box office in one month is 7.8 million. 8.5 million. The total box office of our country's movies last year was only million. "

At the end of the sentence, Mr. Han's voice became very trembling and trembling.

After hearing this, Yu Hao swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva. He felt a little incredible, and his heart was beating wildly.

After a long time, he asked doubtfully: "Uncle Han, did you say it wrong? How could it be so high? Even if the movie is good, it is impossible for it to be so high."

If the box office in Asia was 7.8 to billion, he would be shocked, and finally he would accept it, but a box office of million in one month is somewhat dreamy.

Mr. Han said tremblingly: "Xiao Yu, no, Director Yu, don't say you can't believe this, I can't believe it, but this is the data we have collected over and over again, and we are not talking nonsense.

I will have this matter reported as soon as possible. We will also take the opportunity to hold a grand celebration banquet. You should also prepare it. "

Yu Hao said in a daze: "Okay, okay."

Mr. Han said with regret: "It's a pity, it's a pity that China Film Group did not invest in such a high box office."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Hao was stunned for a long time, still a little in disbelief.

He couldn't understand why it had such a high box office? Impossible.

And the box office of 4.4 million in Little Days? Where did it come from? Logically speaking, don't they like Han and Tang Ming's films the least? How could it contribute so much box office?

While Yu Hao was thinking, Xu Qing and Gao Yuanyuan walked over with graceful steps.

Seeing the disbelief on Yu Hao's face, Gao Yuanyuan asked doubtfully: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Isn't the movie box office very good? What shocked you so much?"

Yu Hao told the two of them about this with a confused look on his face.

The two of them were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. Gao Yuanyuan opened her mouth wide and said with a black question mark on her face: "Brother, I think "Datang" is indeed a good movie, but it can't have such a high box office, right?

Of the total Asian box office of 7.8 million, Xiaoli accounted for half of it. How is this possible? It’s not that I don’t believe senior brother, it’s just that there is no precedent for this in the world. "

Xu Qing came over and touched Yu Hao's forehead, muttering: "You don't have a fever. Is the junior brother too stressed during this time?"

Yu Hao said dumbfounded: "Why are you lying to me? This is true. I can't figure out what went wrong."

After confirming again and again, the two of them accepted this reality in confusion.

Later, the three of them fell into deep self-doubt.

It's not that they don't believe it, it's that they simply can't believe it. Who would have thought of such incredible results?

After a long time, Xu Qing took a deep breath and smiled: "Junior brother, let's not think about it. Think about this celebration banquet. It's only 7.8 million. It's only been one month. If three months later, the movie box office will be 10 billion." Steady and sure.”

Yu Hao recovered from his confusion and said: "This is necessary. When the time comes, prepare an ice sculpture worth 7.8 million. In addition, we must prepare some red envelopes. This time there must be rewards for all the main creators of the crew."

Gao Yuanyuan asked curiously: "Senior brother prepared 300 million last time, how much is appropriate this time?"

Yu Hao thought for a while and said: "If calculated as one-third, the company can get about 3 million, so prepare for million.

I have prepared one million for Uncle Sun, and my senior sister also has one million. Thank you for your hard work, senior sister. Zhang Jingchu, Zhou Ying, Dou Daxian, Zhao Wenzhuo, Lu Shuming each have 500,000, and the other main creators each have 100,000. . "

Xu Qing shook her head and smiled: "Junior brother, I don't need it. I'm not short of money, so I'd better keep it for others."

Gao Yuanyuan giggled and said: "Senior sister, I think you should take this money. This is what you deserve. If you don't take it, how will others take it? What will others think of senior brother? Senior brother is not short of money."

Xu Qing said dumbfounded: "Okay, I'll take it."

Afterwards, several people started to party in the villa...

The next day, the peaceful morning in China was broken by a morning news.

The host said with a smile on his face: "Recently, Yu Hao's "Datang" has been in theaters for a month, and the first month's box office has been released.

The mainland box office is 2.1 million, the combined box office of Hong Kong and Taiwan is 4000 million, Little Days is 4.4 million, Goryeo is 5000 million, and several Southeast Asian countries are adding up to 4000 million. The total is 7.8 million. It has set several domestic box office records. Congratulations to Director Yu for reaching another peak. . "

Some viewers who watched the morning news were in disbelief when they saw this report. They wondered whether they had not woken up or the host had read it wrong.

Suddenly, I saw that the headlines of all the major entertainment newspapers today were reports on the box office of Yu Hao's movie in the first month.

"RM Daily": The new movie "Datang" by the famous Chinese director Yu Hao has a first-month box office of 7.8 million, setting many movie box office records.

…………

The Hong Kong Economic Journal made a pertinent evaluation of this matter: Recently, Yu Hao's "The Tang Dynasty" caused an uproar in China and created a box office miracle. We invited professional film critics to review it. ,

According to comments from several professional film critics and those behind the scenes of the film, the reason why "Datang" is such a hit is due to the following reasons:

1. The subject matter is novel and fascinating. Chinese people have heard the story of Anxi Army more or less, and they are indescribably proud of the Tang Dynasty; 2. The leading actors have excellent acting skills. This movie was shot in the desert. Because of this, the faces of several leading actors are dark, but their acting skills are not obscured, but instead make their acting skills shine even more;

3. Excellent script. Yu Hao’s scripts have always been very good. The script of this movie is very well designed, and every scene raises the audience’s expectations;

4. Proper publicity and the blessing of the Golden Bear Award made this film have a deep impression on the audience.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this report. Some even shouted loudly that it was impossible, absolutely impossible. After reading over and over again in all similar newspapers, they confirmed that this was true.

Immediately, both those who knew and those who didn't knew fell silent.

Especially many people in the industry thought that Yu Hao's new movies were just awards-winning films, and there were very few movies that would be successful and well-received. Unexpectedly, Yu Hao had once again achieved this miracle.

In fact, they were vaguely expecting that there would be no problem with the film's Asian box office reaching 1 billion. It seems that they underestimated Yu Hao's previous overseas box office of 50 million US dollars.

The celebration banquet was still held at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

Yu Hao was wearing a well-fitting suit, and his hair was styled into a classic hairstyle again. Xu Qing was wearing a well-fitting cheongsam, with flaming red lips and wavy lips, holding Yu Hao's arm.

The first to arrive were a group of reporters, all mentally guessing how many people would come to Yu Hao's celebration banquet.

But if you think about it with your butt, there will be a lot. After all, this man Yu Hao is really terrifying. The first part was 300 million, and the second part is going for 1 billion.

Most directors are still chasing 1 million at the box office, but Yu Hao has already moved towards 10 billion.

Lao Mouzi, Chen Shishi, Jiang Wen, Feng Dapao, Wang Shuo and Xiao Wang came together.

Feng Dapao cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Director Yu, you are truly a legend of our mainland movies. One billion box office is just around the corner. This figure is beyond my wildest dreams."

Yu Hao smiled modestly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the market is good, I just got the benefit of the doubt."

Feng Dapao smiled bitterly and said: "The market..."

Then, Chen Daoming and Zhang Guoli arrived hand in hand.

After seeing Yu Hao, Chen Daoming cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Director Yu, congratulations on the success of the new film."

Zhang Guoli said with a smile: "Director Yu really gave us a surprise. The filming is so popular."

The eyes of several people looking at Yu Hao became a little more intimate, without any of the aloofness or anything like before.

Soon, a group of celebrities represented by Jackie Chan and Li Yangzhong, a group of Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television company bosses represented by Boss Yang, and a group of Hong Kong and Taiwan directors represented by Zhou Xingchi came one after another.

After Jackie Chan saw Yu Hao, he cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Director Yu, congratulations, 7.8 million, you really broke the box office record of our Chinese directors,

This record is also ranked high in Hollywood. You can be regarded as bringing glory to our Chinese films, and it is estimated that the overseas box office will also be very good. "

Yu Hao smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. I can't compare to Brother Long and Brother Jie. You all work in Hollywood, so I can only hang around in China."

Li Yangzhong and Jackie Chan looked at each other, and Li Yangzhong said seriously: "Director Yu, I think you should have the idea of ​​​​developing in Hollywood. If there is a suitable role, you must consider us. The salary is not important."

Jackie Chan also nodded and said, "Yes, the salary is not important."

Yu Hao solemnly said: "If there is a suitable candidate, I will definitely consider Brother Long and Brother Jie. You are the light of our Chinese people."

Finally, the leaders of China Film and Television, headed by Tong Gang, and the leaders of TV stations, headed by Director Zhao, all came to support Yu Hao.

After everyone gathered, Yu Hao and the creative team came on stage.

The host said to everyone: "Hello, dear guests, next, the celebration banquet for the 7.8 million box office of "Datang" will be officially held. Next, I would like to invite Director Yu and the creative team to unveil the red cloth."

Seeing a long thing wrapped in red cloth, everyone couldn't help but wonder what it was.

At this moment, a group of reporters came down the stage, and the reporter said seriously: "Hello, audience friends, I am reporter xxx, and this is the celebration banquet of "Datang"..."

Seeing the sign of the reporter group, everyone was sitting upright and straight. After all, this is "News Online" and it may be a live broadcast.

Yu Hao also noticed the reporters and the group, and looked at the several main creators. They worked together to tear off the red cloth, and then, the ice sculpture with the words 7.8 million appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. Then, a glimmer of excitement flashed in the eyes of the directors. This thing is more exciting than reporting.

Then, Yu Hao smiled at several people and said, "Next, let's smash this ice sculpture together."

The only sound left was the sound of duangduangduang. Everyone looked at the stage without blinking, unable to hide the heat in their eyes.

Afterwards, bursts of applause resounded throughout the entire venue.

After the smashing was completed, Yu Hao picked up the microphone and said: "Thank you everyone for your support. This is my second movie. I didn't expect it to have such a high box office. Now I suspect that I am all dreaming."

After saying this, there was a burst of polite applause and a burst of good-natured laughter. Not to mention Yu Hao, they all thought it was a dream.

Yu Hao continued: "Such a high box office cannot be achieved without the joint efforts of everyone, including Lu Shuming, Zhao Wenzhuo, Hu Jun and others who have devoted themselves to the performance.

There are also the silent efforts of Sun Cheng, Zhang Jingchu and others, as well as the behind-the-scenes efforts of Zhou Ying, Dou Daxian and others. Without your joint efforts, there would not be such a high box office. "

Sun Cheng and others smiled back at Yu Hao.

Yu Hao continued: "Thank you. I am a layman. I won't mention other things I am grateful for. This time, I have prepared a cash reward of five million, just on behalf of the company, to reward a few people who have devoted their wholeheartedly to the crew.

One million as a reward to Uncle Sun, thank you for your hard work, half a million to Xu Qing, thank you to senior sister for your silent efforts, half a million to Lu Shuming and Zhao Wenzhuo, thank you for your hard work,

Five hundred thousand to Zhang Jingchu, Zhou Ying, and Dou Daxian to thank you for your continuous efforts, and the rest will be awarded to..."

Upon hearing the five million cash prize, everyone on the stage had red eyes, and some were sour.

Sun Cheng, Xu Qing, Zhang Jingchu, Dou Daxian, and Zhou Ying looked happy. They knew best what Yu Hao had experienced along the way.

Several other people also looked at Yu Hao with excitement.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Qing took a few people to distribute the cash.

A reporter in the audience asked: "Hello, Director Yu, I am xxx, a reporter from "News Online". Congratulations on your 7.8 million box office. It is a sure thing that this film will become the box office champion of Chinese-language films.

You even won the Golden Bear Award, making you the youngest Golden Bear Award winner. What do you think is the main reason why the movie has such a high box office? "

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into silence, and everyone focused their attention on Yu Hao.

Yu Hao thought for a while and said: "I think what I am most proud of is telling everyone this touching story. The glory that the Tang Dynasty did not give us, our descendants can give them. This story we remember,

To have such a high box office, I think the most important thing is some feelings. Whether it's An Xijun or those poems, although many of us don't usually talk about it, the reverence in our bones cannot be replaced.

I was very skeptical that Xiaoli could have such a high box office at first, but then I thought about it. The culture of Xiaoli is in the same vein as ours, so they can accept it.

And everyone’s support. Without everyone’s support, I don’t think there would be such a high box office. Thank you for your support.

I was just lucky and won one city. I believe that in the future, more and more films will achieve better results than mine, and Chinese-language films will get better and better. I think the goal of us film and television people should be the whole world. . "

These words caused a burst of warm applause from the audience, and the audience in front of the TV also expressed emotion. Only they could understand this feeling.

　Referring to the box office of "Hero": "Hero" has a total investment of US$3000 million, which is about 2.4 million US dollars according to the current exchange rate, and the global box office is US$1.77 million, which is about 14.6 billion yuan according to the current exchange rate.
