China Entertainment 2000.

Chapter 147 1100 million breaks the single-day box office record
"Heroes" lasts just over 90 minutes.

In order for "Pirates" to adapt to the movie length of this era, Jiang Liu also roughly made the more than two hours of "Pirates" into a 100-minute movie.

He deleted the power struggle involving the Goryeo Kingdom from the original film.

The plot explaining the identity of the bandit leader has been deleted.

The length of the two movies is almost the same, and the number of filming scenes is also similar. It is a real competition.

"Pirates" and "Heroes".

"Hero" was released earlier and had been in theaters for a week on the 21st.

The combination of Zhang Yimou, Li Lianlian, Tony Leung and other big stars did play a decisive role in the box office of "Hero".

In just one week, movie theaters across the country reported good box office results for "Hero".

"Hero" broke Shenzhen box office record.

The box office of "Hero" reached 40 yuan in one day at Xujiahui Yongle Cinema in the magical city, breaking the single-day record of 32 yuan held by "Titanic" for many years.

"Heroes" prompted long queues at certain movie theaters.

The pre-sale tickets for "Hero" at a certain cinema have been queued for three days.

The single-day box office of "Hero" exceeded 1000 million, and the cumulative box office has reached 5000 million, 6000 million, etc. There is overwhelming box office news.

However, on the 21st, "Pirates" was widely released nationwide due to the strong distribution power of China Films, and the rapidly growing box office of "Hero" stagnated.

On Saturday the 21st, it did not rise but fell, with a box office of just over 900 million.

At the same time, the box office of "Pirates" which premiered on that day, including the midnight show on the 20th, was an astonishing 1100 million.

A box office figure that the media, fans, industry insiders, and everyone including the management of "Pirates" were not expecting.

On the day the box office data was released on the 21st, the official media reported the news at an unprecedented speed.

[With the help of the movie "Pirates", which audiences now jokingly call "The Bandits Heading to the Sea", the Chinese Film Market's one-day box office exceeded 2000 million yuan for the first time]

"Hero" and "Pirates" jointly set a new record in the Chinese film market.

After "Heroes" broke multiple single-day box office records, "Pirates" followed suit with a box office of 1100 million, breaking multiple records.

"Pirates" breaks the single-day box office record.

"Pirates" breaks Saturday box office record.

"Pirates" opened midnight screenings for the first time and broke the midnight box office record.

Before "Pirates", there were no midnight screenings in the Chinese film market. During the Lunar New Year season, the winter was so cold and windy that no one would go to the cinema to watch a movie and freeze to death.

"Pirates" just did it. The midnight show and Saturday daytime box office directly broke the single-day box office record of "Heroes" just a few days ago.

The competition between the two films is something the country and the film market would like to see.

The managers of major theaters across the country were even more delighted.

According to industry insiders:

This time "Pirates" can hit such a huge box office, China Film Company's minimum ticket limit plays a big role.

In the theaters under the Oriental United Cinemas chain, a minimum ticket price of 25 yuan is set, which ensures basic box office revenue.

Major theaters have also prepared a series of movie-related gifts for audiences, such as playing cards, toothbrushes, etc.

Officials, industry insiders, and emerging media have all stepped aside, leaving the two movies "Pirates" and "Heroes" to dominate the front pages of media outlets across the country.

Jiang Liu received the box office data not long after the media, and he himself was a little unbelievable at the time.

In 2002, there were 1024 theaters nationwide and only 1845 screens.

"Hero" has a box office of more than 900 million, and "Pirates" has a box office of 1100 million, which means that the two movies occupy more than half of the country's cinemas.

And every moment, these movie theaters are staged scenes of divisional struggle.

Box office battles are extremely rare.

Jiang Liu imagined that the box office trend of "Pirates" would always be dominated by "Hero".

But in the end, the leak was successfully picked up, and the box office recovered the cost and even made a small profit.

He never thought about the fact that "Pirates" had more box office than "Heroes".Now it seems that the two movies are somewhat in conflict with each other.

This tit-for-tat is not only reflected in the box office on the 21st.

This is reflected in the two long ticket lines at major movie theaters.

It is also reflected in the evaluation of the movie by the audience and the media.

Many netizens posted comments on the dedicated pages or comment areas of the two movies on Sina, NetEase, Tianya, and Sohu.com.

Most viewers think "Hero" has spectacular scenes and beautiful colors.

However, the storyline of the film is confusing, and I think that overall, "Hero" lacks the appeal to make people watch it again.

The plot of "Pirates" is relatively complete, the comedy plot is skillfully inserted, and the pictures are also very beautiful.

However, the animation scenes are too jumpy and can easily destroy the audience's emotions, which is regrettable.

Judging from audience reviews, the two movies are evenly matched.

However, many netizens believe that if the animation part of "Pirates" is replaced with whale special effects or even fake props, "Pirates" will not only be worthy of a second play, but even a third play.

Many movie fans regret this.

The mud in the river of anger cannot support the wall, and a good story like "Pirates" is wasted.

"Pirates" and "Heroes", which are [-]/[-] in every aspect, make people happy and worried.

Yu Dongqian went crazy with joy.

In his opinion, he can accept "Pirates" and "Heroes" not to mention a [-]-[-] box office opening, a [-]-[-] opening, or a [-]-[-] opening at the box office.

The production cost of "Pirates" was 2500 million yuan. Including 500 million publicity fees, the total cost was only 3000 million yuan.

The production cost of "Heroes" was US$3000 million, which was nearly 10 times the production cost of "Pirates". What else could he be unhappy about?

"go, go"

Jiang's house, in the yard, Jiang Liu took a step and turned around to scare the big yellow at home.

Labradors are smarter. Just by looking at the bag, they know that the owner is going out, so they keep pulling on it.

"Wang."

Jiang Liu said angrily: "You bastard, what are you doing when I go to promote things?"

"Wang Wang Wang."

"I don't even want to go."

Li Xing stood aside, looking at the man and the dog, holding his forehead and saying silently: "Why are you talking to a dog?"

"Dahuang is smart and understands as soon as he speaks."

"Okay, okay, get out quickly, everyone is waiting for you outside."

"Ah."

While Jiang Liu responded, he hugged Li Xianba and gave him a sip. Looking at the face that suddenly turned red just a few steps away, he felt an itch in his heart.

It has been three months since the two entered into cohabitation on the night of their engagement.

It stands to reason that after three months of understanding and development, Jiang Liu should gradually get tired of it.

In fact, it was completely the opposite. Not only was he not bored, but he became more and more obsessed with it. This may be related to Li Xin's special physique. When he was happy, his body seemed to be congested, which gave Jiang Liu too much freshness.

"Remember to wear a mask when you go to and from get off work. I guess it will be serious in Beiping by the time I come back from my promotional run."

"It won't be serious."

"I can't tell, just prepare some more food at home to be prepared. Learning to drive can wait. I'm leaving."

"Well, take the time to rest when you have free time."

Jiang Liu nodded and said, "I know, the promotion can be completed in 20 days at most."
