322. Mission Completion: Unknown

If reaching the top of the global box office one day is luck, and one week is strength, then one month... Generally speaking, people call it dominance.

If it is during the off-season for movies, it is not difficult to win the box office championship for several days in a row, and sometimes you can even get it at 10 to 20 million a day.

However, at the end of the year, between Christmas and New Year's Day, there are also some competitive movies appearing, but "The Devil" is still like the unstoppable wolf pack in the movie, sweeping everything.

Attentive viewers have also compiled reviews from the New York Times and related media about Lu Jian and "Magic Tide".

When "The Devil" was announced to be released simultaneously around the world, their news headline was "Unknown director from the East tries to expand overseas."

And when the trailer for "The Tide" was released, it collided with "Fast 11", and after "The Cry" and "In the Mouth of a Madman" were released, the titles of these media changed to "The Unexplainable Source of Terror."

The West Coast Approaches".

The day before the film was released, newspapers and news outlets began to spread the news that "Arrogant Filmmakers Occupy Times Square".

When the box office results came out on the first day of release, "The Devil" lost to "Fast 11" by a gap of 20 million, and these media quickly changed the headline of the news to "Lu Jian's First Defeat in Metropolis."

Now, a week later, when the box office of "Devil Tide" topped the global box office for a week in a row and was about to make history, many media immediately changed their tune and began to praise Lu Jian's great achievements. In their reports, it seemed that

"Director Lu Kan gives a shot in the arm to the global film industry."

But in China, even many foreign adults have said this, and some of the more stubborn ones can only follow suit.

As for "Fast 11", one week after its release, the box office decline was obvious, but it still maintained its second place.

Mainly because the special effects of "Tide of Magic" have simply subverted the audience's worldview. It's like you have played pixel-style games all your life and suddenly you are handed a plate of The Elder Scrolls 5 with high-definition texture MOD. After watching "Tide of Magic"

"Watching "Fast 11" again, everything felt fake.

Therefore, the box office explosion of "Tide" actually led to the failure of "Fast 11" at the box office.

The original estimate of a box office of 8 billion may now be discounted.

Looking back, Lu Kan's praise of this movie at that time seemed to me to be arrogant.

One week, two weeks, three weeks.

Three weeks have passed and "Tide" still tops the global single-day box office rankings.

During this period, there were various popular TV dramas, foreign romantic literary films, and Ah San’s musical and dance science fiction films that tried to impact the position of "Magic Tide", but they all failed.

There was only one day. Although "The Devil" ranked first in the global box office, it failed to rank first in the box office of a single country.

It was in the island country, and a theatrical version of a national-level animation was released. Since the theater version of the movie ticket comes with a concert lottery ticket, and there are four kinds of screening bonuses, you have to buy four tickets to get them, so on that day, I was very excited.

Beat "Magic Tide" and get the first single-day ranking in the island country.

But the impact is not big.

Lu Jian still respects his predecessors very much. There is no need to worry about some records. It is better to leave them to the people who come after them to break them.

One month later, the movie key expired, and Lu Jian did not choose to extend the screening for another month because he had already made enough money.

In one month, "The Devil" topped the global box office for 29 consecutive days, with a cumulative box office of 13.9 billion domestically, which is close to 2.17 billion U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, ranking the highest in film history.

fourth.

The reason why it is so high is, firstly, because the subversive special effects of "The Tide" eclipsed the movies of the entire era, and secondly, because there are no additional screenings, and the special effects of this movie cannot be fully experienced on a computer, so I want to watch it.

Audiences have to rush to the cinema to watch it within this month.

The third point is that this movie really breaks the circle.

Whether it's Weibo or Twitter, discussions about this movie are in full swing, especially in countries where society is relatively repressed and everyone follows the crowd, such as island countries. If you don't watch this movie, you will be confused with the people around you

People have nothing in common and are isolated and bullied. Under such circumstances, the box office of "The Tide" is like taking hormones, rising steadily.

The public, whether domestic or foreign, likes to create spectacles and create records. Everyone is willing to get involved, so many people who usually don't pay much attention to these things also go to the cinema, which drives up the box office.

If you want to set a record, you really need to break the circle to do it.

In the end, the domestic box office of "Magic Tide" also reached 6 billion, ranking first in the domestic box office.

Even the overseas media, which had been boycotting Lu Jian, recognized Lu Jian in the headlines on the day when "Devil Tide" was released.

"The supreme Lord Lu Jian will create his own box office myth today."

Lu Jian has also become the top-grossing director and actor in China through three films that exceeded one billion in one year.

Although many media organizations wanted to interview Lu Jian, he declined them all.

After giving the employees of Jingjing Media a month's holiday and fifty months' bonuses, Lu Tian returned to his home.

Laika came up first, snorting and rubbing like a pig.

When Lu Tian traveled around the world to promote things, he always asked Qin Tiantian to feed him.

It's been a while since we last saw. The hound that traveled through time and space, which once frightened people from other lands, has now turned into a fat corgi.

"Sure enough, the most terrifying thing in the world is not monsters, but women."

Lu Tiao was convinced, and Laika beside him also nodded.

"What? You said she had something to do but she stuffed you with food until you couldn't eat anymore and then used canned food to tempt you. There are such vicious women in the world!"

Looking at Laika who was mumbling something with unknown meaning, Lu Tian translated.

"Don't worry, I will help you lose weight. In a few months, you will be a slim and handsome dog again!"

He rubbed Laika's head and then returned to his room.
