Millennium director

"The box office performance of "War of the Demons" exceeded 2 billion, which is indeed amazing."

"They have all been featured in CCTV's special reports and news programs."

Liu Yifei took Wu Yuan's arm from behind and said with a smile.

The box office performance of "War of the Devils" is indeed very good. The box office exceeded 2 billion within 25 days of its release. The authorities are considering issuing an extension key to the film to allow it to be released for one more month.

This is the first movie in the Chinese film market to have a box office of over 2 billion!

Not even Hollywood blockbusters have achieved such good box office results in China!

Now from the Internet to offline, netizens and the public are talking about it, and they are surprised and proud of the box office results of "War of the Demons".

After all, before this, the Hollywood movie "Avatar" had dominated the box office of the Chinese film market for nearly 6 years!

It is indeed a bit shameful for a foreign language film to dominate the domestic box office.

Look at Japan and South Korea in East Asia. The top-grossing movies in their countries have always been domestic films.

Now, so is China!

Many netizens have boldly speculated on the Internet that the final box office of "War of the Demons" may be 2.5 billion, if the extension key can be approved.

Even Liu Yifei is looking forward to this.

However, Wu Yuan saw clearly and was not dazzled by this victory. He knew that 2 billion was the box office limit of "War of the Demons". Even if it was released for one more month, it would only be tens of millions to 100 million more at most. Just the box office.

The audience who should watch this movie have already watched it within this month. Even if the remaining people follow the praise of "War of the Demon Tide" on the Internet, they will not go to the cinema to watch it in reality. Instead, they choose Waiting for the video source to be released on Guangying Kuaibo.

Moreover, Wu Yuan knew that the film "War of the Demonic Tide" would not remain the number one box office in mainland film history for long.

Many netizens now believe that the 2 billion box office record of "War of the Demons" can definitely be maintained for several years.

After all, "Avatar", which had the highest box office before this, only had a box office of less than 1.4 billion, and it lasted for six years before it was broken.

Now "War of the Demonic Tide" has directly raised this record by 600 million. No matter what, it has to be maintained for three to five years, right?

Even those who are confident in the Chinese film market do not think it is easy to exceed 2 billion in box office.

It’s just that China’s film market is so exaggerated!

Wu Yuan clearly knows that 2015 is the first year that the Chinese film market will reach 2 billion yuan per film.

"Fast and Furious 7", which will be released in May, will set a new box office record of 2.4 billion yuan in the mainland!

"Monster Hunt", released in July, will also earn over 2.4 billion yuan at the box office.

Of course, as we all know, "Monster Hunt" has gone through many twists and turns, experienced changes in roles, box office fraud, box office fraud, and public opinion doubts about box office purchases. Its box office performance must be watery, and the water is deep.

But it is certain that the box office results of "Fast and Furious 7" are real.

The 2 billion box office performance of "The Tide of War" will indeed not last long before it will be broken again by "Fast and Furious 7".

But it doesn’t matter, Chinese movies have indeed grown up.

In 2016, the new year, "Mermaid" is even more heavyweight, taking in 3.3 billion at the box office in the mainland, not to mention Wu Yuan's "Ready Player One" waiting behind it.

From then on, the number one box office ranking in mainland film history has nothing to do with foreign-language films. In the future, this achievement will be continuously refreshed and broken by Chinese-language films.

Such "brilliant" mainland film market performance is indeed something that current Chinese movie fans and insiders cannot predict or imagine.

It can only be said that the development of the mainland film market is really too abstract and too rapid for people to understand.

"The box office record of "War of the Demons" will not last long." Wu Yuan held Liu Yifei's delicate hand with his backhand and said with a smile.

Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows. She didn't understand what Wu Yuan meant, but she had another understanding: "Yes, there is also "Ready Player One" waiting behind you. You will definitely be able to break this record next year."

Liu Yifei has always been full of confidence in her husband.

This time "Ready Player One" is also a commercial special effects blockbuster that is not inferior to "The War of the Devils" at all. It is also the science fiction blockbuster that Wu Yuan is best at. There is absolutely no problem in breaking the record again!

Although Liu Yifei's understanding was slightly off, Wu Yuan had no intention of continuing to explain and just nodded reservedly.

He does feel that "Ready Player One" can break the record. Although it is difficult to break the record of "Mermaid", it should be no problem to break the records of "Tide of War" and "Fast and Furious 7".

To be honest, as a science fiction blockbuster, "Ready Player One" does suffer.

This movie does not have the "fairy-tale sentiment" of "The War of the Demonic Tide" to sell, and it does not have the hot spots of Chinese culture to hype. To be honest, in terms of the right time, place and people, it cannot be compared with "The War of the Demonic Tide" at all.

When Spielberg's version of "Ready Player One" was released in 2018, the mainland box office revenue was only 1.3 billion.

Wu Yuan's box office expectation for this movie is 2.5 billion. He is indeed very bold and confident in himself. He is betting that his hard power and the reputation he has accumulated over more than ten years can bring him victory over nature. Effect!

"Okay, it's time to go to bed. I have to go to the company tomorrow." Wu Yuan pulled Liu Yifei up and took her to the bedroom.

The next day, a little after ten in the morning, Wu Yuan came to the Light and Shadow Times.

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival has completely passed, and the company has been working for more than half a month. Wu Yuan, who has spent a month's vacation, has to start working honestly.

However, before going to the editing room to check the post-editing of "Riding the Wind", Wu Yuan first came to Li Xiaoping's office to learn about the company's recent situation.

2015 was the year when the domestic film and television industry exploded completely.

Not only the big explosion of the film market, but also the TV series market will usher in a market explosion this year. Various video platforms have also entered the era of gold and yuan, and have begun to burn money to make self-made dramas.

Although he has been prepared, Wu Yuan is still somewhat worried that the company will go astray at this important node.

After all, he is not an Internet giant like Penguin and Alibaba, who has tens of billions of funds to burn at will.

If the company is really crazy and wants to spend money to compete with Internet companies for actors to make TV series, it will really be beyond its capabilities.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoping did not make such a foolish decision.

"Director Wu, the current TV drama industry is really too hot."

"Some first-line actors have been paid 2 million per episode, and even the package price of a TV drama can be exaggerated to take away 70 or 80 million!"

"Now the cost of making a TV drama can even soar to 100 or 200 million, which is not much different from making a special effects blockbuster!"

Faced with Wu Yuan's inquiry, Li Xiaoping sighed distressedly: "So, the company can only use its own artists to make some self-made dramas, and most of them are using new actors."

"For example, the company has a newcomer named Reba, who has signed with the company for two or three years. She has never had the opportunity to play the heroine before. This time she was arranged to be the heroine of a TV drama adapted from a novel."

"It's because the first-line actresses of the company have all gone to take external dramas, so they can only use cheap newcomers like her to play their own dramas."

"It's funny to say that we can't afford to use our own artists."

"This TV drama market is really too crazy and has become a little deformed." (End of this chapter)
