$6.82 million!

This is a very exciting number!

Liu Qianqian and Fang Rou high-fived each other and shouted "yes", as happy as children who had picked up a lollipop.

Fang Ziheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and while gesturing for Fang Zhongxin to drive, he said: "Andy, have the data of movies released in the North American market been transferred over the same period? What did Deng Wendi say?"

"It's been forwarded and I'll send it to you right away."

"Deng Wendi is actively expanding the promotion and distribution, and is expected to win 1,800 theaters and 3,500 screens for "The Secret of the Dragon" tomorrow."

Andy quickly regained his composure and relayed the contents of Deng Wendi's overseas phone calls one by one.

"3,500 yuan, it seems that Ms. Deng is really risking her life this time!"

Fang Ziheng smiled and was very satisfied with Deng Wendi's attitude towards "The Secret of the Dragon".

I remember last year, "Edge of Tomorrow" opened in 1,900 theaters and 3,800 fast screens, with a box office of US$3.7 million on its first day!

"The Secret of the Dragon" achieved 6.82 million in 2,600 theaters and 5,500 screens. Comparing the two, it is even higher than "Edge of Tomorrow" in terms of attendance.

At present, the total number of screens in the North American film market is around 10,000. "The Secret of the Dragon" can be screened on 9,000 screens at the same time, which is the limit that 20th Century Fox Film Company can achieve.

Any more would be beyond Fox's capabilities, and the North American market also has cultural restrictions and protection laws.

Soon, Andy sent over the data of movies released simultaneously in the North American market.

North American Film Market, December 25 to January 1, 2012.

The first place, "Mission: Impossible 4", defended its second weekend box office championship with US$25.42 million, and the total box office reached US$112.4 million.

Second place "Detective Sherlock Holmes 2"

", ranked second in the box office for the second week with US$20.88 million, with a total box office of US$110.9 million.

The third place "Rattus 3" had a weekly box office of US$16.37 million and a total of US$90.73 million.

Fourth place "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", weekly box office $1,482, total box office

US$55.58 million.

Fifth place "War Horse", Zhou

The box office was US$14.42 million, and the total box office was US$40.45 million.

No. 6 "My Family Bought a Zoo", Weekly Box Office

$40.73 million.

No. 7 "The Adventures of Tintin"

", with a weekly box office of 11.44 million and a total box office of US$40.48 million.

There are still three movies left with a weekly box office of less than 10 million, which is nothing to be afraid of.

"The Secret of the Dragon" was only released for one day, and it cost 6.82 million U.S. dollars. It didn't make the list. It has to wait until next week to show off its edge!

.......

Next, Fang Ziheng took the film's creators to four cinemas in one go and accepted an interview with the Imperial Capital News in the evening.

At ten o'clock, take a flight to Shanghai, and then take the time to sleep.

The next day, I still went to the cinema first, then accepted interviews with local media, took photos and interacted with movie fans.

After a day's journey, my body became soft and exhausted.

Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, Hangcheng, Nanjing, Sucheng, Shacheng, Yuzhang, Yangcheng, Shencheng, Yudu, Sichuan City, from north to southeast, from southeast to Lingnan, and from Lingnan to southwest.

A total of 15 cities were arranged on the publicity list, and the group worked tirelessly, with their feet never touching the ground.

January 5th.

The creators of the movie "The Secret of the Dragon" came to Wanda International Cinema near Bayi Square in Yuzhang.

As Fang Ziheng's hometown, it is naturally warmly welcomed by local movie fans.

Liu Qianqian, Liu Ye and others also worked hard to promote, enjoying the cheers in the spotlight while showing their professionalism.

Everyone was exhausted, but they were really happy inside. The smiles on their faces were frozen, but they still didn't forget to wave and interact with the fans.

There is no way, the movie is too popular!

Over the past four days, "The Secret of the Dragon" has continued to be a hit, with the box office once again exceeding 100 million during the holidays on the 1st and 2nd.

No. 3 and No. 4 saw slight declines, with single-day box office receipts of 93 million and 88 million respectively.

Five days after its release, "The Secret of the Dragon" swept everything, with a total box office exceeding 500 million yuan!

Five days and five hundred million!

An irresistible and unsurpassable box office myth!

Such unbelievable results made countless colleagues in the industry collectively lose their voices, and also completely stunned the media reporters pursuing interviews.

The soaring popularity set off a carnival among movie fans on New Year's Day, and theaters continued to increase the number of movies scheduled. The national average movie schedule was once as high as 80%.

Dominate the screen!

On the occasion of the New Year's Day in 2012, "The Secret of the Dragon" achieved screen domination in theaters across the country and on the entertainment Internet for the first time.

There are reports and voices praising the film everywhere.

At the same time, the box office success also created a strong reputation for the film.

The rise of Weibo provides viewers with a smooth chat platform after watching the movie.

Countless viewers immediately took out their mobile phones to surf the Internet after watching the movie, and posted their thoughts on the Weibo account of "The Secret of the Dragon".

Or gather under the Weibo accounts of Fang Ziheng, Liu Qianqian, Liu Ye, Huang Bo, Liu Jialing and others to blow rainbow farts.

"Even though it's only the first one, I still have to say that "The Secret of the Dragon" is the best movie in the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, bar none!"

"It is a typical representative of the Hollywoodization of domestic films. The shooting technology is impeccable. The special effects gave me a great surprise. Although the plot is over-adapted, the characters are close to the original work. It is a rare and excellent adaptation."

"I would like to call "The Secret of the Dragon" the best commercial fantasy adventure in China! Although there is not much plot connection with the original work, all the characters are consistent with the characteristics of the book.

In particular, Counselor Yang, starring Liu Qianqian, made my eyes shine. Since stepping out of the comfort zone of costume dramas, the young lady’s acting skills have improved significantly. Well, there is also that drool-worthy figure... Looking forward to the next one!"

"It's unexpectedly good. There's no fault in every aspect. It's really not easy for Fang Ziheng and the film's creators to produce such an adaptation project at such a high level!"

"Xia Yu and Huang Bo are responsible for comedy, Liu Ye and Liu Qianqian are responsible for IQ and tomb opening, a passionate and fantasy tomb robbing adventure, a huge underground palace, thousand-year-old tomb guardians, vast and mysterious, so cool!"

"The operation of all aspects of the movie fully meets the standards of Hollywood fantasy blockbusters. Fang Ziheng understands the fans and is more suitable for the fans. He must be praised for his second brush~!"

"Oh my God! "The Secret of the Dragon" set a high standard for China's fantasy special effects blockbusters as soon as it came out. The details and effects presented by the film industrialization system are amazing. Fang Ziheng's screenwriting imagination is still so powerful!"

"It's unreasonable not to be popular! I like Fang Ziheng and the young lady like crazy. I love watching movies where the two of them work together. My only regret is that the sequel is a bit difficult to produce!"

Compared with the shock and praise from the media, the reviews from movie fans are more genuine and rare. The fantasy world with Chinese characteristics created by "The Secret of the Dragon" has pierced the hearts of countless people like a sharp sword.

Beautiful, really beautiful!

Chinese movie audiences, for the second time, shouted out for a special effects blockbuster with Chinese characteristics, if it is no worse than a Hollywood movie!

........

In a five-star hotel.

Fang Ziheng, Liu Ye, Huang Bo, and Wan Zhaolong finished their massages, chatted and laughed and headed to the restaurant for supper.

In the VIP box, Liu Qianqian and the other ladies had already ordered their dishes and were waiting for them to eat together.

Liu Jialing opened a bottle of red wine, stood up and gave Fang Ziheng half a glass of wine. She smiled and said, "Director Fang, I have something to ask your opinion on."

"Oh, what's the matter, Sister Jialing?"

Fang Ziheng tapped his fingers twice on the dining table, swallowed the fried noodles in his mouth and spoke with a smile.

Liu Jialing is usually relatively reserved and maintains the demeanor of her seniors. She is only very playful at the mahjong table.

In a few days, this was the second time she poured herself wine. The first time was the day before yesterday at the dinner where "The Secret of the Dragon" had a single-day box office of over 100 million for three consecutive days.

Intuitively, it shouldn't be about "The Secret of the Dragon".

Everyone also relaxed their movements and looked at Liu Jialing, waiting for her to speak.

"That's it. Yang Sheng from Hong Kong Island knows that you are busy, so he expresses his greetings to Director Fang through me. Emperor has invested in a movie called "Reverse War" this year, and Yang Sheng wants to seek help from Hengyu Media to distribute it."

""Reverse War"!"

Fang Ziheng's heart moved and he instantly recalled the movie.

"Reverse War" is a gunfight action movie directed by Hong Kong director Lam Chao-hsien and starring Zhou Milk Tea, Xie Tingfeng, Lin Peng, Bai Bing, An Zhijie, Jin Yanling and others.

He forgot the plot of the movie, which roughly tells the story of the confrontation between the International Security Bureau police and international crime syndicates.

The story of an older brother on one side and a younger brother on the other side from two forces. The two are anxious about each other due to family ties and tasks, and in the end, evil prevails over good.

This is a common approach in Hong Kong, using family affection and brotherly loyalty to kidnap official justice to reflect the inner world of the character.
