Chapter 173: Crazy Numbers

The new weekend box office rankings for the new week from June 13 to 15 have been released. On the second weekend of June, "Infernal Affairs", which won the premiere weekend for $32.07 million, continued to surprise the media industry and continue to surprise Matrix Film Studio. However, its first week continued to progress steadily with a huge reputation, sweeping down $26.45 million in box office and earning $38.59 million in a week!

This made it defend the title of the weekend rankings, and the total box office in North America also accumulated to $70.66 million. It only took 8 days to break the foreign language film record of "Beautiful Life"!

Not only did Infernal Affairs defeat all other opponents, but this decline data was also possible on the "big ship" in 1998, but now it appears in a foreign language film. You should know that even the well-received epic blockbuster "Gladiator" fell below 30% the following week.

Yahoo's weekly box office review said: "It's not surprising that this movie won the championship; on the contrary, Chen Tiandu's movie suffered a box office Waterloo, so I suspect someone was joking."

After evaluating the movie itself, the editor wrote: "What Chen Tian is most incredible is that any type of movie he makes will be a great success. This young man will never stick to the existing achievements."

The result of this second week's release is really important for matrix movies.

It feels like I'm walking past a hill in the desert to find an oasis. This proves that the resistance of "Infernal Affairs", which is labeled as "Chinese movie", has been further broken through in the United States. When it premiered in the first week, it was still relying on Chen Tiandu's personal box office appeal and the powerful offensive of online virus publicity. The next week, it was entirely based on the word-of-mouth effect. It was also the story of this double undercover that is gradually blooming with charm...

The most effective release strategy for such word-of-mouth films is naturally long-term screening. They have signed a long-term screening agreement since the beginning, which can be said to be a plan ahead. At present, this achievement is still under control.

The reputation of film reviews and public reputation people have to give them two thumbs up, which makes too many viewers waiting for the first week make a decision? No new movies in the same period in June are competitive enough? "Hurry 60 Seconds" only won 25.48 million US dollars, unfortunately ranked second.

So another round of media exaggeration and blows are indispensable, "Chen Tiandu vs. Cage + Julie, knock-down!"

This achievement is really dazzling. As for domestic movies that are already in a dry well, it is like a sudden injecting a river of surprise, excitement, excitement, pride, and expression in words is too stingy.

Chen Tian was also very pleased, but what he was most looking forward to was the Asian box office returns.

The always reserved news broadcast also rarely reports news in the literary and artistic circles. "The new movie "Infernal Affairs" by the famous Chinese director Chen Tiandu has won the championship again this week after he was released in North America last weekend and won the weekend box office championship... The cumulative box office in North America has reached 70.66 million in 10 days, making it the highest box office foreign language film in the United States in history. It has successfully surpassed Beautiful Life starring Bellini, who won the Oscar for Best Actor in 1999."

"In addition, the new film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by Oscar winner Lee Chou will also be released in the United States in December. Hong Kong's famous director Wong Kar-wai will also be fully released in New York on February 2 next year. The film is very popular with movie fans when it is released in Paris. And Yang Dechang's thought-provoking "Yiyi" is also about to be released, and Chen Long's exaggerated kung fu action film opens a sky in North America."

"Hollywood has given the highest praise for Chinese-language films shining in the American film market. The famous director Wu Yusen said that many films made by Chinese have broken away from the 1980s and have shown a refreshing look..."

Hohohoho...

News Broadcast In Chinese families, one of the programs that fathers like, is a secret for children. But today's News Broadcast suddenly made many young people excited, "You read that right, "Infernal Affairs" was on the News Broadcast. Is that uncle with a smile Wu Yusen? He actually went on the news." Seeing the scene of "Infernal Affairs" flashing on TV, many young people were really excited and became tall and tall in an instant.

Many viewers who had not known the news about this movie before also became curious. The News Broadcast actually broadcasts news in the entertainment industry? It's really strange.

There is never a shortage of people who take off their pants and fart. The next day, experts and scholars began to publicly question whether the News Broadcasting and broadcast entertainment news properly. The News Broadcasting Column column team publicly responded, "News Broadcasting is the most interesting news for the general public. "Infernal Affairs" was released in China and released overseas, and has become a major event that affects people's lives and can naturally be reported."

This question, against doubt, naturally made the current release of "Infernal Affairs".

"Will you go to the theater to watch the upcoming "Infernal Affairs"?" In the hot survey of the movie channel, 785 people participated, and 70% of netizens chose to watch the work they must-see; 16% chose to watch it or not; 4% did not choose; 10% chose not to know." For those 10% who did not know, it only means that the people at this time are not very concerned about the affairs of the film industry, and they have to run around for life every day, coming and going in a hurry, and it is understandable that they don't know. Another reason is that domestic movies have been immersed in for too long.

And there is an affiliated survey next: "How much box office do you think Infernal Affairs will receive in mainland China?"

In the historical rankings of Chinese movie box office, the number one was "Titanic" in 1998, which seemed to be difficult to surpass for a while; then the "The Matrix", which caused a blockbuster movie craze last year. The third is the same domestic film "Life and Death" released in 2000. I won't say how heavy the box office of this movie is. Netizens' comments are "boring and without any highlights. That little thing has to be enough for 150 minutes, and it will cost people a life...' Then there is "The True Lies" in 1995.

It's the domestic movie "Shaolin Temple", "Mom Loves Me Again", and "The Gunshots of the Secret Service" are all 100 million; now it depends on whether "Infernal Affairs" can break through Chen Tiandu's previous record in "The Matrix".

But challenging "Titanic"? Even the audience has no confidence, so naturally there is no need to mention it.

Taking advantage of the offensive that has received good reviews and good results overseas in the past week, it was released in a fresh and hot manner. Chen Tiandu brought a group of movie creators back to China for publicity and how many box offices will "Infernal Affairs" eventually receive?

Some people shouted and beat the Titans, some people probably were quite conservative, and some people expected Chen Tian to break his own record... But most people think it could not exceed 200 million.

The domestic box office is opaque and has a lot of moisture. And there is currently no more professional box office statistics agency. Many Sina websites have a lot of box office statistics, which are all boastful. The United States counts the box office by hour, and can also clearly show the ratio of men and women and age ratios. Domestic viewers have to wait for the weekly box office data of "Infernal Affairs" at this time, and probably can only wait for the official release.

The ticket price of Chinese movies was 1 cent in the 1950s, 1 cent in the 1960s, 2 cent in the 1970s, 3 cents in the 1980s, and 2 cents in the 1980s, and 15 cents in the 1996s. The current ticket price is between 15 and 30 on average, and it varies depending on the city, and there are many people who have more than 80.

For this era, the ticket price is very unreasonable. The audience lives in dire straits and still does not know it, or even know it, it is still extremely tolerant and continues to support Chinese movies like a "moth to the flame". Fortunately, they didn't see it a few years later, and it was as high as 12, which is even more sad.

When "Titanic" was released in Beijing in 1998, the ticket price for the first round of theaters was as high as 80 yuan, and the lowest ticket price after the peak of its premiere was no less than 40 yuan. Chen Tian didn't have the courage to save domestic movies, but he could do it within his ability.

When the price of the movie was priced at 50, Chen Tian shook his head, "The first round of 30 is already high enough. If there are more, it will keep more viewers out. This round of 15 to 20 is a reasonable number, so it will last for a long time."

If the future high ticket prices are true, then the real culprit of the high ticket prices is not unfair. The blind pricing of blockbusters is the consequence of such a hindrance, which makes it impossible for people to see the huge impact hidden after the sudden rise in ticket prices on the operation and development of the Chinese film industry.

But Chen Tian couldn't say anything. He was also one of the culprits of imported blockbusters. He looked down on this domestic box office. It was even more hilarious to reverse the overall situation of domestic movies. It was enough to do everything possible to let more people know that he was.

After saying so much, an ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law. What is her grades? It will be announced immediately.

"The sincere work of the genius director Chen Tiandu saves the glorious moment of "Infernal Affairs"!"

"Sweeping North America to win the championship again, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the first week's results are incredible!"

There are 500 copies in China alone, which is only a little less than "The Matrix". We continue to be cautious about piracy, and we have huge bonuses for reporting peripherals. If we catch one or two, we will immediately report special reports, and psychologically put pressure on the pirates.

At least one or two weeks, you must not collapse. The farther you can go at the box office depends on how long the pirated version can last.

In June, there were many movies released in mainland China, but only one movie "Infernal Affairs" was released in large scale. During the publicity storm, it became the first movie in the theater system to schedule more than 50%. It was said that it was scheduled for 50%, but in fact, many theaters contributed the best scenes and the largest cinema to the highly-reputable and highly-watched "Infernal Affairs".

Since its premiere, there have been no shortage of reports on the box office.
