Entertainment: The opening game and the national goddess official announced

Chapter 938 The box office in the first week exceeded 6 billion

It was already noon when Zhang Xiao saw Cheng Gang's post.

Zhang Xiao didn't want to talk to this despicable guy at all, but Yang Mi was indeed a little aggrieved about it.

"Husband, how are you going to fight back Cheng Gang?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said calmly: "This guy is trying to cheat. If you fight back, you will fall into his trap."

Yang Mi said: "But you can't just do nothing, right?"

Zhang Xiao said: "Have you ever seen me suffer a loss and not return the favor?"

Yang Mi raised her eyebrows when she heard this and said, "I feel like your words are a bit inconsistent. Don't you want to fight back?"

Zhang Xiao explained with a smile: "I just don't want to get into a scolding war. It doesn't mean that I won't fight back. I just need to expose Cheng Gang's purpose. From today on, as long as it is my domestic theater chain,

We will only give Chen Gang the lowest share of film schedules and box office. As for foreign films, don’t even think about it.”

Yang Mi smiled and said: "This Chen Gang is really a piece of shit. You should have done this a long time ago."

Zhang Xiao nodded, took out his mobile phone, opened Weibo, and directly posted a post: "Director Chen, who has not been around much recently, suddenly came out to attack my "Avengers 4", which surprised me."

"Later I heard that he was going to film a fairy tale drama, and then I understood his intention."

"It is not uncommon in the entertainment industry to use the popularity to promote other people's movies, and it is not a shameful thing. To promote other people's movies in this way only shows how despicable the character of the director surnamed Chen is."

"However, I will not quarrel with him, because quarreling will only fall into his trap. The harder I scold him, the happier Director Chen will be."

"I can't help it. He just calls such a shameless person, but I won't let him step on me and promote me like this."

"So, starting from today, for all works produced by directors named Chen, Qingtian Cinemas will only give him the lowest film schedule and box office share in China."

"As for the foreign theater chains, TV stations and video websites that I own, they will not show any of his works."

"I have said before that I will not ban any Chinese filmmaker, so even if I still dislike Director Chen, I will not ban him."

"But now that he has abandoned his ancestral home and become a director of Lighthouse Country, that would be embarrassing."

"Last sentence, I hope that director Chen's movie will be better. If it gets a bad reputation, I will mobilize all the publicity departments of Qingtian Entertainment to scold you to death on the Internet."

After his Weibo post was posted, it immediately attracted the attention and discussion of countless fans.

"Hahaha, Xiao Shen is for sale."

"For people like Chen Gang, Xiao Shen should have banned him long ago."

"It's really satisfying."

"I don't understand why Xiao Shen still schedules movies for him in China. Just like abroad, why don't we just block him?"

"The Department of Culture once formulated a film arrangement agreement and everyone signed it. If Xiao Shen violates it, it will definitely be inappropriate."

"In the past, those entertainment companies used to ban people in a secretive way. It's better for Xiao Shen to say it outright."

"As long as Chen Gang's movies are not good to watch, Xiao Shen will ask the publicity department to scold him. This is really funny and domineering."

"Chen Gang can just keep filming honestly. He has to come out to provoke Xiao Shen. He is really doing his own evil and will not survive."

"Chen Gang may have thought that he had scolded Xiao Shen, and Xiao Shen would not do anything to him due to his status. He forgot that he is now the director of Lighthouse Country. How could Xiao Shen still be polite to him?"

“···”

Regarding the scolding battle between Xiao Shen and Chen Gang, Chinese movie fans clearly stood on Zhang Xiao's side.

The main reason is that this guy Chen Gang joined the Lighthouse International and became a complete traitor. Everyone will spontaneously stop speaking for him.

After reading Zhang Xiao's post, Chen Gang became furious.

After discussing with Caiyun Entertainment, the company behind it, he published another post.

"Don't think too highly of yourself. Sunny Cinema cannot cover the sky with one hand."

"Since you are so domineering, starting from today, I will announce that all my movies will not appear in Qingtian Cinema. If you block my movies, I will ban your cinema. Let's see who can have the last laugh."

Zhang Xiao just glanced at Chen Gang's post and ignored it, so as not to get offended by him.

the next day.

The box office of "Avengers 4" was released on the first day.

A total of US$1.149 billion worldwide.

As soon as this number came out, the global entertainment industry was in an uproar.

The single-day box office of 1.149 billion US dollars has broken the record for the highest first-day box office of any movie in history, even the previous "Zhu Xian" failed to achieve it.

Zhang Xiao was quite happy with this achievement.

Although the production cost of "Avengers 4" was much higher, it was only US$700 million.

Judging from the current situation, the money can be recovered in about two days.

A movie can pay back its money in two days. You can imagine how terrifying this rate of return is.

There is a saying circulating in today's film circles that the only one who can break Zhang Xiao's box office record is himself.

"Avengers 4" confirms the correctness of this statement.

It took in a box office of 1.388 billion US dollars on the second day, directly breaking the debut box office record set on the first day.

On the third day, although the global box office dropped a lot, it still took in 936 million US dollars.

On the fourth day, the global box office of "Avengers 4" was US$951 million.

On the fifth day, US$869 million.

···

One week later, the global box office of "Avengers 4" reached US$6.066 billion, which is very auspicious.

Seeing such box office results, everyone went crazy.

"The box office of "Avengers 4" won't be fake, right?"

"The box office exceeded $6 billion in the first week. Oh my god, this is terrible."

"Xiao Shen is a great god in the film industry, unrivaled."

"Previously, Chen Gang actually asked a Chinese director not to make a movie like "Avengers 4". I was really speechless."

"The box office of "Avengers 4" exceeds 10 billion US dollars, which is basically a certainty."

"These two Hollywood Marvel movies have ranked among the top two at the global box office. I feel really uncomfortable."

"You don't have to worry about it upstairs. Marvel used to be owned by Hollywood, but its current owner is Xiao Shen, and Xiao Shen is completely Chinese."

"Looking forward to the day when "Avengers 4" breaks the 10 billion US dollar mark."

“···”

Not only netizens, but also major directors and superstars in the industry also expressed their congratulations to Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Yimou said on his social platform: "Congratulations to "Avengers 4" for its box office exceeding US$6 billion in its first week."

Liu Huade: "Mr. Zhang is the best artist I have ever seen, bar none."

Li Liangjie: "It's normal for him to get such good box office results. If the box office is not good, it would be strange."

Wu Jin: "Zhang Xiao is a person who is good at creating miracles. No matter how high his movie box office is, I won't be surprised. What I really expect is that he can make a movie that loses money so that I can laugh at him."

.”

···

The news from Huaguo TV took three minutes to introduce in detail the achievements of "Avengers 4" and also interviewed some fans who watched the movie.

These fans are full of praise for "Avengers 4".

Xiao Wei, an old friend from the movie channel, came to interview Zhang Xiao again.

"Mr. Zhang, congratulations on your "Avengers 4" box office revenue exceeding US$6 billion in its first week."

Zhang Xiao said: "Thank you, this is mainly because the fans give me face."

Xiaowei chuckled and said, "Your words make me feel like one of those gang bosses in the Young and Dangerous movies."

Zhang Xiao shrugged and said: "This is also the reason why I don't like participating in talk shows. If I'm not careful, I will say some inappropriate words."

Xiaowei said: "We like guests like you."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao was speechless and said: "Host Wei, I feel that you are becoming more and more casual when interviewing me."

Xiaowei said: "I mainly want to adapt to you. Let's get back to the topic, Mr. Zhang, did you expect that "Avengers 4" has achieved such good box office results?"

Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "I only expected that the box office of this movie would be a hit, but I didn't expect that it would be such a hit!"

Xiaowei said: "Netizens all believe that the box office of "Avengers 4" will exceed 10 billion US dollars. Do you think it is possible?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while and replied: "To be honest, judging from the current popularity of movie watching, it should be able to break through the box office of 10 billion US dollars in less than two weeks, because just half an hour before we talked

, I got the attendance rate of "Avengers 4" in major theaters around the world, which was only slightly less than yesterday."

Xiaowei said: "I remember yesterday's box office of "Avengers 4" was 722 million US dollars. Can today's box office also exceed 700 million US dollars?"

Zhang Xiao said: "This depends on the movie viewing situation at night. Even if it cannot exceed 700 million U.S. dollars, there should be no problem if it exceeds 600 million U.S. dollars."

Xiaowei said: "Some people say that "Avengers 4" is a Hollywood Marvel movie, not our domestic movie. There is no need for fans to be excited about the box office results of this movie. What do you think about this?"

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "All the copyrights of Marvel superheroes belong to Disney, and I am the president of Disney. Strictly speaking, "Avengers 4" should be my personal movie, Zhang Xiao."

Xiaowei said: "But I have to admit that "Avengers 4" promotes the culture of the Lighthouse Nation. This seems to be somewhat contradictory to your previous efforts to promote domestic films, right?"

"No contradiction!" Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "Before, the Chinese film market was not the number one in the world, but now the Chinese film market is already the number one in the world."

Xiaowei asked in confusion: "Is there any necessary connection between this matter and the question I asked?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "As the old saying goes, the sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great. The world's number one must have the world's number one mind and capacity. Whether it is the culture of a lighthouse country or the culture of Europe, we should treat them equally."

"The ultimate goal is to allow cultures from all over the world to blend in China and become the center of global culture."

"Avengers 4" is mine, it belongs to the Lighthouse Country, and it should also belong to China. Some netizens on the Internet regard "Avengers 4" as promoting the culture of the Lighthouse Country. I think it belongs to them.

My mentality has not been adjusted yet.

"Please remember that we are the leaders of future culture."

"Bah bang bang bang!" Xiaowei clapped his hands and cheered: "What you said is so encouraging. Yes, Hollywood culture only represents the past, while our Chinese culture represents the future."

Zhang Xiaodao: "The main reason why the Department of Culture does not restrict foreign films from entering China is their confidence in Chinese culture. I have said before that Hollywood movies have been declining, and their style has been prevalent for decades.

, now everyone is almost tired of watching it.”

"The box office success of "Avengers 3" and "Avengers 4" does not mean that Hollywood culture is superior to Chinese culture and the culture of other countries."

"The biggest factor in their success is my investment in special effects regardless of cost. I even dare to say that they are the culmination of the world's view on the development of special effects technology."

"Without the stunning special effects, judging from the plot alone, let alone tens of billions of dollars in box office, I'm afraid I won't even get a tenth of it."

"Some time ago, I held a meeting between the middle and high-level executives of Disney and asked them to look for future Hollywood movies. Do you know what the final result was?"

"What is it?" Xiaowei asked curiously.

Zhang Xiao said: "The way out for Hollywood movies is not the end, but the script. With the development of special effects technology today, it is not easy to continue to make breakthroughs."

"And if you follow the current model of filming, it will basically be the same, so you can only touch people's hearts through good stories."

Xiaowei said: "I think the Chinese film industry should also develop in this direction."

"That's not entirely true." Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "Hollywood movies have dominated the world in the past few decades, relying not on literary and artistic films, but on commercial blockbusters."

"Due to excessive brilliance in the past, their current commercial blockbusters have no new ideas. If you are a movie fan, then you will definitely find that most of the shots in Hollywood action movies and science fiction movies are similar."

"Even in those movies that get high scores, only a small number of scenes make you feel amazing."

"That's right, it's true." Xiao Wei nodded blindly.

Zhang Xiao continued: "This is the problem caused by the inability to update technology. Unlike Chinese movies, our directors have not combined action movies, martial arts movies, fairy movies, magic movies, and war movies with the existing special effects technology.

With deep integration, the potential is huge.”

"The Lighthouse director named Chen who was mocking "Avengers 4" on the Internet before. I am very disdainful of his character, but I have to admit that he is a very good director, and he can find something.

Very accurate."

"Isn't he going to make a fairy tale drama next? As long as there are no problems with the script and Caiyun Company is willing to invest, then I think his fairy tale movie has a very good chance of detonating the box office."

"Of course, it depends on whether he can perfectly combine special effects with Xianxia..."

Xiaowei said: "Like "Zhu Xian"?"

Zhang Xiao shook his head and said: "It's not that I look down on him, but with his directorial skills, it is basically impossible to make a film of the level of "Zhu Xian" in this life."
