Chapter 668 Box Office War

Just when Xiao Yunhai swept the world with "Infernal Affairs", several Hollywood films appeared.

The action movie "Deadly Hunter" starring action superstar Munch and sexy beauty Gwyneth will be released worldwide on the evening of February 18.

United Films invested 840 million US dollars for this film. The action is hot and the visual effects are amazing. It is a typical Hollywood action blockbuster. On the night of its premiere, the box office reached 220 million US dollars. 7.96 points.

It's a pity that it came across Xiao Yunhai's "Infernal Affairs".

On February 19th, the two films officially faced off. The global box office of "Infernal Affairs" was 1.045 billion Chinese dollars, while "Deadly Hunter" only earned 312 million US dollars. Not only did it lose miserably in China, but even the North American theater chain, the base camp, was smashed. The gap of 115 million US dollars was severely suppressed by "Infernal Affairs".

On February 20, the ultra-high temperature of "Infernal Affairs" finally dropped in Southeast Asian theaters, from 294 million to 143 million. But the 1.145 billion global box office still ranks first, mainly because "Infernal Affairs" has also been released in Europe and other countries one after another, making up for the lack of Asian box office.

As a result, as of 24:00 on February 20, according to the exchange rate of the day, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" reached a terrifying 5.6 billion Chinese dollars.

Once the news came out, the entire Huaxia entertainment industry fell silent.

The directors, actors and media who were still ridiculing "Infernal Affairs" as a bad film were stunned by this result.

The reporters interviewed the national teacher Mo Kaixuan and said, "Director Mo, have you ever gone to the cinema to watch Infernal Affairs? What is your evaluation of it?"

Mo Kaixuan frowned and said, "I haven't been to the movie, so I can't comment."

"But one of our reporters took a picture of you going to the Starlight Cinema.

"

"You read it wrong. I've been preparing for my costume blockbuster "Jing Ke and Qin Qin" recently. How can I watch his movie."

"Director Mo, Mr. Xiao has made a total of four films, and the total box office has exceeded 25 billion, making him the highest-grossing director in China. Some netizens even call him the number one director in China. What do you think about this? ?"

At this time, Mo Kaixuan's face was already very ugly, he waved his hand, and said perfunctorily: "It is certainly a good thing for the Chinese film industry that Huaxia can step out of a world-class director. I'm sorry, I still have something to do, let's talk about it later. chat."

After the words fell, Mo Kaixuan hurriedly left.

Speaking of which, he was considered unlucky. He originally wanted to announce his return to the film industry by suppressing the newly emerging Xiao Yunhai, but he did not expect to encounter a big nail like "Infernal Affairs". He lost all face.

Naturally, Mo Kaixuan also had a trace of jealousy towards Xiao Yunhai in his heart.

On February 20, Warner Bros. produced the historical film Julius Caesar and the animated film Jungle Adventures produced by Disney Studios simultaneously hit theaters around the world.

On the night of its premiere, the performance was very good. "Kaiser the Great" won a box office of 340 million US dollars, and the cartoon "Jungle Adventure" was even more powerful. It was screened for four consecutive shows and swept away 427 million US dollars, which made people have to sigh , children's money is indeed the easiest to earn.

On February 21, the police and gangster film "Infernal Affairs", the historical film "Kaiser the Great", the action film "Deadly Hunter", and the cartoon "Jungle Adventure" launched a box office battle around the world.

Almost all the filmmakers in the world have their eyes on them, and the media in various countries are guessing who can get the first place.

Some people say it is "Infernal Affairs". They believe that the potential of this film is far from exhausted. With its high reputation, it can at least get a global box office of one billion Chinese coins.

Some people speculate that it is "Kaiser the Great", because it has just been released, and fans are looking forward to it, and it should be no problem to win the championship.

As for the action movie "Deadly Hunter" and the cartoon "Jungle Adventure Team", they were directly ignored by everyone.

Especially "Deadly Hunter", if "Jungle Adventure Team" still has a chance of winning, then its probability of winning the first place is basically infinitely close to zero.

The next day, the box office came out.

Surprisingly, neither Infernal Affairs nor Julius Caesar won the championship, but Disney's Jungle Adventure, which grossed a terrifying $984 million at the box office.

After getting this news, countless filmmakers shook their heads and sighed: "Sure enough, no matter which country you are in, children are the most important."

Xiao Yunhai's "Infernal Affairs" was the runner-up with US$895 million, "Kaiser" won the third place with a box office score of US$758 million, and "Deadly Hunter" was the most tragic, not even getting the fourth place.

On February 22, Universal Pictures' magical blockbuster "Elf" joined the battle circle, and the contenders for the global box office championship entered a white-hot stage.

I don't know why, "Infernal Affairs" suddenly became the box office champion with 1.046 billion US dollars, ahead of the second "Elf" with 39 million US dollars, which shocked everyone's attention. "Jungle Adventure" won the third place with 957 million US dollars, "Caesar the Great" got the fourth place, the box office score was 8.12 US dollars, and "Deadly Hunter" has lost the qualification to compete for the championship.

So far, the total box office of Xiao Yunhai's "Infernal Affairs" has exceeded 8 billion, and at the same time, its potential has also come to an end.

Since the 23rd, the global box office performance has declined seriously, falling out of the top five.

Xiao Yunhai didn't pay too much attention to the box office of "Infernal Affairs", let alone promote it everywhere.

There are only a few second- and third-tier actors who have played supporting roles in "Infernal Affairs". They want to gain popularity and increase their exposure. They apply to Xiao Yunhai through their agents to take the initiative to promote "Infernal Affairs". In this regard, Xiao Yunhai naturally It was promised.

Not to mention, after these people participated in variety shows as "Infernal Affairs" actors, their worth really increased a lot.

After the premiere, Zhao Wanqing became a trapeze. Her album "Dancing Girl" will be released in major video stores across the country on February 24. She has to hurry up and promote it everywhere.

Shen Xiangquan's new album "Love in the Rain" met the audience on February 14. Once it was released, it was immediately liked by fans. In just three days, the sales reached 2.64 million copies.

This put a lot of pressure on Zhao Wanqing's psychology, and it was even harder to promote it.

She knew that if her album sales were not as good as Shen Xiangquan's, the media would definitely be a big book, and at that time, besides herself, she might also be embarrassed by her husband.

Therefore, Zhao Wanqing's extraordinary efforts this time, participating in the recording of three variety shows in one day, is indeed enough.

Anhui TV's "Millionaire" continued to be popular. Except for a multi-millionaire in the first episode, the next two episodes won a maximum of 500,000, but the ratings did not drop below 10%. , ranked second in the program.

The first in the ranking is the Xianxia drama "The Legend of Swordsman" directed by Tian Junhao, which is currently being broadcast in the second round. The average viewership of the first round exceeded 14%, and it also achieved good ratings in other Asian countries. If it wasn't for the fact that there was a problem with the plot, even 20% was not without the possibility of a breakthrough.

The male protagonist Jiang Yaokun has doubled his net worth and his fans have soared by 20 million due to two consecutive hits in "The Swordsman" and "The Legend of the Swordsman".

The heroine Xu Qianqian had just stepped into the ranks of first-line stars, but now she has become a top-tier artist. It is said that the number of advertising endorsements alone has reached more than 20 million.

The first TV series got such a good result. Tian Junhao was naturally proud. Before the first round was finished, he held a large-scale celebration banquet in a five-star hotel.

And he even returned the 820 million Huaxia Coins he owed Xiao Yunhai to Xiao Yunhai.

After a "Jianxian Biography", Tian Junhao can be said to have gained both fame and fortune, satisfied with his ambitions, and was liked by countless audiences, and he really started his name.
