Chapter 286 Breaking Records Without Talking about Martial Virtue
Chapter 286 Breaking the record without respecting martial ethics
"'Transformers 2' is going crazy. Yuxuan, it seems that your movie's highest box office record can no longer be maintained." Li Hed said to Yuxuan Zhang.
"There's no way, the special effects of Transformers 2 are too awesome. And the special effects are really shocking to us, so it's normal for it to get high box office, not to mention there's also Transformers 2 ahead of it.
Bottoming up." Zhang Yuxuan said calmly.
"That's true, but it breaks your movie box office record, which is a bit bad for you after all." Li He shook his head: "Otherwise, "Embarrassed in Thailand" would have been released earlier.
Let's snipe "Transformers 2" and snipe its box office, so that it won't be so easy to break the box office record."
Hearing Li Hed's suggestion, Zhang Yuxuan was a little surprised: "Use "Thailand" to snipe "Transformers 2"?"
"Although it may affect the box office of "Lost in Thailand", it is also a good choice to snipe "Transformers 2", and we can also use this to promote our fight against the invasion of Hollywood culture, in order to arouse the patriotism of the people.
Excuses, maybe there will be unexpected gains."
"Patriotic feelings!" Zhang Yuxuan thought about Li Hu's statement.
In fact, it is true that with the development of time, the country will become stronger and stronger, the patriotism of the people will become stronger and stronger, and more and more people will be proud of their country.
In 2009, this was equivalent to being a vanguard. And in this era, showing patriotism may not be of much benefit.
"We originally planned to release "Lost in Thailand" on July 20. However, the box office of "Transformers 2" has almost squeezed the market. When our movie is released, how many people will be left?
Are you willing to go see a movie? Release it early and compete head-on with "Transformers 2". Even if we lose, no one will think we are embarrassed. After all, we lost to a Hollywood blockbuster like "Transformers 2." What if we head-on?
If we win the competition, then we will really take off, and even our studio will definitely become famous in the entertainment industry."
Listening to what Li He said, Zhang Yuxuan felt that what Li He said was right. However, in direct competition with "Transformers 2", Zhang Yuxuan felt a bit at a loss. After all, this was "囧囧", which was released in 2012.
, a movie that directly earned more than one billion yuan, and can even be said to be a movie that raised the highest box office record by hundreds of millions with just one movie.
Isn't it a pity to use it to snipe "Transformers 2"?
However, if a movie made in 2012 is broadcast in 2009, it may not be able to replicate the original miracle of Thailand. Unless we wait until 2012?
But if everything follows the original trajectory, what kind of movie will he make?
What should be changed must be changed.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's move the broadcast time of "囧囧" forward." Zhang Yuxuan nodded, agreeing with Li Hu's idea.
After hearing Zhang Yuxuan's agreement, Li Hao's face showed a hint of joy.
Li Hu's careerism, or ambition, became even more undisguised after Zhang Yuxuan established his personal studio.
Competing head-on with Hollywood masterpieces, regardless of whether he can win or not, it will be a success for Li He and Zhang Yuxuan's personal studio. Well, the premise is that the box office of "囧囧" will not collapse too much.
As a result, various promotions about "囧囧" began to appear on the Internet, especially the news of the film's release.
Many people are surprised that "囧囧" actually requires hard steel from "Transformers 2", and many people even think that "囧囧2" is completely overestimating its capabilities.
It’s really great to know the box office data of the movie “Transformers 2”.
"Transformers 2" was released on June 24, with a box office of 33.71 million, which directly exceeded the first-day box office revenue in the mainland. Then, on June 27, the box office exceeded 100 million within three days of its release, becoming the fastest to break 100 million in the mainland.
Film.
You must know that Yuxuan Zhang's previous movies had a box office of over 100 million, and it only took 4 days at the fastest.
Don't underestimate this day, this day is enough to show the difference.
At this time, the movie "囧" starring Yuxuan Zhang actually had to go head-to-head with Transformers 2. Of course, it caused widespread discussion and even ridicule. "囧" was ridiculed for overestimating its capabilities. Some people even mocked Yuxuan Zhang, the starring actor of the movie.
But no matter what, "囧囧" has been postponed and has been rescheduled to be released on July 1st.
And just on June 30, one week after "Transformers 2" was released, it directly took home 200 million in box office.
The box office of this movie exceeded 200 million, which once again shocked people in the entertainment industry, causing more people to fear and even fear Hollywood masterpieces.
Even Li Ha, who had previously suggested that "囧囧" should be released as early as possible, felt a little guilty at this time.
It's just that the publicity has been out for a long time, and now there's no way to go back on it. Li He can only hold on and arrange the premiere of "囧囧" on the evening of June 30.
For the premiere of "囧囧", almost everyone from the domestic entertainment industry came to attend.
Although some people laugh at Zhang Yuxuan for overestimating his capabilities, after all, it is a domestic film that takes the initiative to fight against Hollywood special effects blockbusters. Even if you laugh at Zhang Yuxuan in your heart, you can only support Zhang Yuxuan on the surface. After all, in a certain way, shouting slogans supports domestic movies against Hollywood.
Special effects blockbusters can be considered a form of political correctness.
Zhang Yuxuan, Huang Bo, Wang Baoyu, Ning Hao and others stood at the entrance of the cinema to welcome those who came to attend the movie premiere.
Needless to say about those celebrities.
Chen Kaige, Feng Gangpao and even Zhang Yimou, several great directors, were also present one by one.
After all, "囧" is a movie that actively confronts Hollywood blockbusters.
Zhang Yimou smiled happily and greeted Yuxuan Zhang and the others after arriving, with no strange expression on his face. He seemed to have no objection at all to Yuxuan Zhang's refusal to star in "Three Guns".
Chen Kaige and his wife smiled and exchanged polite words with Yuxuan Zhang and the others, but they were all useless words.
Feng Gangpao laughed and took the initiative to greet Zhang Yuxuan and the others.
"I'm preparing for a new movie. Yu Xuan, Huang Bo and Bao Yi, do you want to play a role in my movie?" Feng Gangpao took advantage of the situation and even extended invitations to Zhang Yuxuan and others.
Regarding Feng Gangpao's invitation, Zhang Yuxuan and the others naturally accepted it with a smile, but this was just a verbal invitation. Whether he would appear in the show or not would have to wait until we have time to sit down and discuss it together.
Then came the director Jiang Wen, wearing a suit, looking like a polite scum, no, he looked like a serious bandit wearing a suit.
"Awesome, you guys are really awesome. I support you, and let those foreigners see that our domestic movies are no worse than theirs!" Jiang Wen laughed and gave a thumbs up to Yuxuan Zhang and the others.
Jiang Wen's words really showed a clear attitude.
…
The movie started to play on the big screen, and Zhang Yuxuan was still a little nervous.
On the one hand, this is because this version of "囧" stars myself, Huang Bo and Wang Baorong, so it will be somewhat different from the original version.
Then, "囧囧" will compete with "Transformers 2". Although the release time of the two has actually been avoided by a week, the box office of "Transformers 2" is so popular that it is a positive
Confrontation is not wrong either.
Therefore, "囧" can affect the box office of "Transformers 2", and "Transformers 2" can also affect the box office of "囧".
Therefore, it is normal for Leslie Cheung to be worried about the box office of "囧".
At the beginning of the movie, after Zhang Yuxuan's image appeared in the movie, there was a burst of chuckles in the cinema. This was the laughter brought by the actor Zhang Yuxuan. Even before this movie was released, Zhang Yuxuan's movies "Painted Skin" and "Night"
"Question" is not a comedy, but it does not hinder the audience's impression of Zhang Yuxuan.
In this regard, Zhang Yuxuan is not surprised.
Several directors in the cinema had different ideas after hearing the audience's reaction.
For example, Feng Gangpao, a director with a background as a comedy director, has collaborated with Ge You on many films. He knows that similar situations will occur in most of the films Ge You stars in.
Therefore, Feng Gangpao has already begun to equate Zhang Yuxuan with Ge You. He is thinking about whether it is appropriate to invite Zhang Yuxuan to his movie, or if Zhang Yuxuan is to star, what type of film should he make?
movie of.
As for Chen Kaige, he directly gave Zhang Yuxuan a cross in his heart. He is not like working with comedians.
Zhang Yimou will keep the image of Zhang Yuxuan in his heart, and he will invite Zhang Yuxuan when there is an opportunity in the future.
Jiang Wen, on the other hand, is thinking about the movie he is about to shoot and wants to invite Zhang Yuxuan. If he just invites Zhang Yuxuan, what role should he arrange for Zhang Yuxuan?
This is the idea of these directors.
But in the cinema, the actors in the entertainment industry, especially the male actors, who were sitting there felt strong feelings of envy towards Yuxuan Zhang, and some even felt a little jealous.
But regardless of their emotions, they still want to cooperate with Zhang Yuxuan and are thinking about how to get the opportunity to cooperate.
After all, the movies starring Zhang Yuxuan are not bad. If you act in a movie with Zhang Yuxuan, you might be able to become famous by Zhang Yuxuan.
…
"Hahaha, Wang Bao'er is so silly and adorable!"
"I think Leslie Cheung is really bad. He even said nonsense that he had cuckolded Huang Bo. The key is that Wang Baohao actually believed it."
"Look at Wang Bao'er actually telling Huang Bo about this. Look at Huang Bo's expression. Hahaha, I was laughing so hard."
Some spectators in the cinema who were lucky enough to grab the movie box office were laughing and discussing from time to time in the cinema. Their faces were full of smiles and they had not stopped almost since they entered the cinema.
Listening to the audience's reaction, Zhang Yuxuan felt a little more relieved. Now he is only worried about the impact "Transformers 2" will have on the box office of the movie "囧".
"Huh? That woman is Liu Yifei?"
"Who? Liu Yifei? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?"
"That, the woman who splashed water on Yuxuan Zhang's face."
"It seems like it's really Liu Yifei!"
"I didn't expect Liu Yifei to make a cameo in this movie."
"Liu Yifei looks really beautiful in this dress."
"Yes, it's so beautiful."
"It's a pity that there is no heroine in this movie, otherwise it would have been better to have Liu Yifei play the heroine."
Suddenly, some sharp-eyed audience members noticed Liu Yifei's guest appearance, or he was also a fan of Liu Yifei himself. He couldn't help but exclaimed, which attracted the attention of many people.
However, Liu Yifei only made a cameo appearance. After this plot is over, Liu Yifei will be gone.
But even though Liu Yifei's figure disappeared, there was still continuous laughter in the cinema.
When the movie ended, these ordinary viewers left with smiles on their faces, not feeling at all that the movie tickets they had spent money on were not worth it.
Some professional film critics wrote and drew in their notebooks and wrote a lot of things.
And directors like Feng Gangpao, Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen also said hello to Yuxuan Zhang and others and left with a smile.
…
While waiting for the movie to be released on July 1st, Leslie Cheung started to go on road shows with the crew and began to promote it.
Even Zhang Yuxuan had to ask for leave from the crew of "Big Wish" for this——
That's right, I'm just asking for leave. The filming of "Big Wish" has not yet been completed and the filming of the movie is still going on.
However, who told "Thailand" to compete with "Transformers 2" now, so Zhang Yuxuan had to work hard to promote "Thailand"!
In addition to running so hard when promoting the movie "Love Is Not Blind", Zhang Yuxuan also ran road shows for other movie promotions, but he was still restrained and didn't rush too hard. But this time,
However, the speed of Zhang Yuxuan's road show is much faster than before.
In a city, keep running. After running in one city, you will run to the next city.
Moreover, Zhang Yuxuan led a group of people, Wang Baofu led a group of people, and Huang Bo also led a group of people.
The three protagonists each run the road show in one direction, striving to maximize the effect of the road show.
Then, the box office of "囧囧" on the first day came out - 32.29 million!
The first-day box office of "Awkward" actually exceeded 30 million! This can be regarded as the highest first-day box office since Yuxuan Zhang starred in a movie.
However, even if it is more than 30 million, there is still some gap compared to the first-day box office of "Transformers 2".
But even though it was a little bit behind, when Zhang Yuxuan saw this kind of first-day box office, he still breathed a sigh of relief.
The most critical thing is that the box office of the movie "Transformers 2" has been affected!
The box office of "Transformers 2" on July 1st was only over 20 million!
On June 30, the box office of "Transformers 2" was still 25 million. On this day, it suddenly dropped by 5 million!
On July 2nd, the box office of "囧囧" increased slightly, and it actually took over 34 million yuan. In other words, in two days, "囧囧" took in more than 6,700 yuan.
Ten thousand. In other words, if the box office of "囧囧" can reach more than 33 million on the third day, then "囧囧" can also achieve the achievement of "Transformers 2"'s box office of 100 million in three days.
On July 2nd, the box office of "Transformers 2" actually dropped by 20 million, to just over 19 million.
At this time, the media began to explode. Various news about "囧囧" defeating "Transformers 2" began to appear frequently. Some people who did not know the truth actually felt that "囧囧" had achieved all-round success.
It surpassed "Transformers 2".
As a result, more people knew about the movie "囧囧", and at the same time, more people were attracted to watch "囧囧" in the cinema.
Even some viewers who originally planned to watch "Transformers 2" couldn't help but buy movie tickets for "囧" instead.
So, on the third day, the single-day box office of "囧囧" reached 33 million. The accumulated box office of the movie in the first three days added up to exactly 100 million.
As a result, "囧" is comparable to "Transformers 2", and news of the movie's box office exceeding 100 million in the same three days began to break out again.
In fact, the three-day box office of "囧囧" was just over 100 million, and a few dollars more at most. And the three-day box office of "Transformers 2" was 108 million. It's a full comparison
Thailand is worth eight million more.
It's just that these eight million were deliberately ignored by the media.
However, even if "Lost in Thailand" affects the box office of "Transformers 2", on July 7th, the box office of "Transformers 2" still exceeded 300 million.
On July 8th, the box office of "囧囧" exceeded 200 million.
In other words, "囧" took eight days to get a box office of 200 million, while "Transformers 2" only took seven days.
On July 17th, the box office of "囧囧" exceeded 300 million.
It only took seventeen days for the movie to be released, and the box office of the movie exceeded 300 million. This kind of box office growth rate is not even a little faster than the previous movies starring Yuxuan Zhang.
However, "Transformers 2" only took 15 days to earn 300 million. But on July 18th, the box office of "Transformers 2" directly exceeded 400 million! This is also the domestic
The first movie with a box office of over 400 million.
Even though the media kept badmouthing "Transformers 2" before, it seems that it was squeezed out by "Lost in Thailand" and there was no room for it.
But after the box office of "Transformers 2" exceeded 400 million, there was a brief silence and then it exploded.
Various voices began to praise "Transformers 2" on the Internet again. The movie box office, which had already dropped by tens of millions, actually began to increase in reverse.
Fortunately, on July 24, "Transformers 2" was scheduled to be released directly one month after its release. Its final box office was fixed at 433 million.
As for "囧", it will continue to be released after "Transformers 2" was released.
By July 30th, the box office of "囧囧" was only 392 million. One month after its release, it was less than 400 million.
However, as "囧囧" is a domestic film, the radio and television authorities have smoothly arranged a key extension for "囧囧", which means that "囧囧" can continue to be released for another month!
Therefore, the movie "Unfortunately" began to slowly catch up with the box office of "Transformers 2" when "Transformers 2" could only be released for 30 days.
The box office of "囧囧" movie exceeded that of "Transformers 2".
As a result, news about various domestic films beating Hollywood special effects blockbusters began to break out again...
By the time "囧囧" was released on August 30, the movie had a box office of 510 million!
Movies made by Yuxuan Zhang broke box office records again and again, and once again became the holder of the highest box office record for movies.
As a result, Yuxuan Zhang's box office began to rise again.
After all, the highest box office of the movies made by Yuxuan Zhang before was more than 300 million and less than 400 million, but now, the box office of Yuxuan Zhang has reached as high as 500 million.
There is a direct difference of more than 100 million, no matter what the reason is. The movies made by Yuxuan Zhang have higher box office. Yuxuan Zhang's salary will naturally increase accordingly.
Fifteen million.
This is the quote of Yuxuan Zhang’s salary.
At this time, Zhang Yuxuan's movie box office has almost caught up with the salary of Hong Kong's Four Kings.
