Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Chapter 344 Chapter 344: Original or adapted?

Three weeks after its release, "Gravity" has just exceeded one billion yuan in China, and its global box office has exceeded one billion US dollars.

Although all major movie markets around the world have experienced significant box office declines, they still dominate the movie market this week.

The box office on weekdays in North America fell below 15 million US dollars, and the decline in European countries also exceeded 50%.

On the other hand, Neon and Asian countries have great stamina and are still steadily accumulating box office.

On the third and fourth working days, "Gravity" has a global box office of US$145 million, still far behind other movies.

The global box office has accumulated one billion and eighty million US dollars!

Successfully broke the $1.3 billion of "The Dark Knight";

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" cost $1.66 billion,

Ranked third on the global box office history list!

There is only a gap of $60 million between the second-placed "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

It is a fait accompli that he will be replaced in second place, and "Titanic" in the first place is still far ahead. The 1.85 billion is indeed a sigh of relief!

Chinese-language films have successively achieved two milestone breakthroughs.

Shanhe and "Gravity" have always been the focus of Chinese and global media attention.

Disney and Chuhe Film and Television were both excited and lamented.

The explosive global box office of "Gravity" exceeded expectations by many, surpassing the box office records of dozens of Hollywood blockbusters, but it is still far away from the top spot of "Titanic".

The two have hyped up the box office miracle of "Gravity", tightly binding Shanhe and Cameron.

Now, there is no one else in front of Shanhe, only Cameron!

Whether it is "Titanic" or "Avatar", the confrontation between two legendary figures can be said to be one of the rare spectacles in the history of film.

Fox Pictures is also tying up Shanhe and "Gravity" to do final promotion for the release of "Avatar".

The dispute between Shanhe and Cameron has become a focus of public discussion around the world.

"The magician casts spells all over the world. "Gravity" has not been completed for three weeks, with a box office of 1.8 billion. Only the King of Hollywood is left in front of him..."

"Cameron praised "Gravity" but was not afraid. "Avatar" will push 3D technology to another level..."

""Gravity" has a box office of 1.18 billion and ranks among the top three in the global box office rankings, targeting only Cameron and "Titanic"..."

"The legendary moment of Chinese-language films has arrived. Hollywood blockbusters have been trampled down by mountains and rivers one after another, and mountains and rivers' white horses and spears are pointed directly at the king of Hollywood..."

During the three-day weekend of its third week, "Gravity" still has great stamina under the attention of the global public.

160 million yuan for three days in China!

Three-day weekend in North America, $54 million!

European countries, 48 ​​million US dollars!

Neon Market, 1.5 billion yen!

In its third weekend of global release, "Gravity" grossed US$15.2 billion at the global box office!

With a cumulative box office of US$1.23 billion, it officially surpassed "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and stood in front of Cameron.

US$1.23 billion in three weeks, this explosive power continues to shock the world!

Hathaway stayed in Shanghai for a week before boarding the flight back to Los Angeles under the eyes of her whole family.

As soon as she left the Los Angeles Airport, she was surrounded by many media reporters who came after hearing the news.

"Gravity" continues to explode, which has become a phenomenon-level topic in Hollywood. Shanhe has not shown up, and Hathaway, who returned to the United States from China, is naturally the best interview candidate.

"Annie, what does Qiu think of the box office miracle of "Gravity"? What is his self-rating of "Gravity"?"

"Annie, what's Yau's box office estimate for Gravity, and is it possible to surpass Cameron's Titanic?"

"Annie, do you have any ideas for Qiu's next movie? When will the new book be released?"

"Annie, when will you and Qiu get married, and where will you settle down?"

Hathaway stayed at the Qiu family in Shanghai for a week. "Gravity" was not a hot topic in the Qiu family.

Getting married and having children is the focus of family members, and "Life of Yi" is more popular than "Gravity".

Even the mahjong skills they just learned are more attractive than "Gravity". The women of the Qiu family seem to pay more attention to winning or losing on the mahjong table than "Gravity"!

Once back in Los Angeles, Hathaway realized the shock that Mountains and Rivers and "Gravity" had brought to the world.

At the moment when she was surrounded by reporters, she was a little distracted, and the memories of the Qiu family's life suddenly appeared in her mind.

She couldn't help but make her smile!

"Qiu is very happy that the movie can be liked and praised by movie fans, but he has high standards for himself and has already devoted himself to writing a new book..."

"Qiu Neng does not decide the box office. He always said that my most satisfying work is always the next one..."

"We haven't prepared our wedding plans yet. China and the United States are our respective hometowns..."

Hathaway was surrounded for more than half an hour, and with the help of her management team, she got into the nanny car!

"Arya, why are there so many reporters at the airport?"

"The global box office of "Gravity" exceeded 1.2 billion US dollars in three weeks. The entire Hollywood was almost overturned by Yau. Now Yau and Cameron are the center of Hollywood. If he doesn't show up, of course you will be the first interviewee. Look, there are so many interview invitations sent to you, so just choose one or two to be interviewed, it will be good for both you and Qiu!"

"hehe…"

Hathaway's heart was filled with pride. My man is so outstanding that it drives people crazy. No one has a better vision than me!

"Is there an interview invitation from "The Ellen DeGeneres Show"? Qiu and I have both participated in "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". It will be more topical to participate again!"

"Yes! I will help you arrange it right away!"

Shanhe was hiding in the country for a while, but his girlfriend got busy because of him.

As Hathaway returned to the United States, Shanhe also quietly returned to the capital.

The global box office of US$1.2 billion has shocked the entire Chinese film and television industry!

The domestic box office of more than one billion yuan is an exaggeration, but compared with the global box office of more than one billion U.S. dollars, it is much more ordinary.

It’s better not to compare with this kind of evildoer. Comparing too many of them will make people lose their self-confidence!

Compared with the roaring mountains and tsunami outside, the mountains and rivers passed relatively calmly in the courtyard.

1.2 billion US dollars in three weeks. Although it greatly exceeded my box office expectations, it is understandable.

After all, this is the first groundbreaking live-action 3DIMAX movie. Coupled with its own appeal, it is also promoted by Cameron and "Avatar".

The box office explosive power is so strong that it is acceptable, but strong explosive power often means poor battery life. It is estimated that "Gravity" will once again experience a huge box office drop!

These are beyond his control. With Disney and Chuhe Film and Television here, he doesn't need to worry about these.

It’s better to finish writing the new book at your own pace!

After launching an unprecedented satellite into the sky, Shanhe's life could not be as peaceful as he expected.

Ever since he returned to the courtyard, there has been an endless stream of visitors!

Han Shanping was the first visitor to visit.

Shanhe was not surprised by Han Shanping's visit. China Film is one of the big stewards of the Chinese film market. "Gravity" has brought Chinese films to an unimaginable height. China Film will naturally not sit back and wait.

After Han Shanping walked around the courtyard, he smiled and said to Shanhe, "Shanhe, these sets of furniture of yours are not simple. Are all the decorations in the house antiques?"

"Hi!"

Shan He smiled and replied, "These are all old horses, and Ma Weidu helped to buy and trade them. I don't know anything about these, but these things that have gone through history have a flavor, and I like them very much!"

"Huanghuali furniture, cloisonné filigree blue vase, Qianlong blue and white plum vase with entangled branches and peony pattern, tsk tsk... they are all good things!"

"Uncle Han, I like this one, why don't you pick one and take it away?"

Han Shanping pointed at Shanhe and said, "You kid, please don't hurt me. If I take just one thing here, I'll be ruined! I'm not as rich as you, I just have to be addicted to handicrafts!"

"Yes! You can play as much as you want. Come anytime you want!"

Shanhe laughed and joked with Han Shanping.

Ten minutes later, the two of them sat on the coffee table and drank some fragrant tea.

""Gravity" is an eye-opener for everyone this time. It's worth more than one billion US dollars. We couldn't even think about it in the past. You kid is really evil!"

Shanhe poured tea for Han Shanping and responded with a smile,

"The box office was a bit exaggerated. I didn't expect it to be US$1.2 billion in three weeks. I can only say that I was lucky and the timing was right!"

"There is luck, but more importantly, vision and talent!"

Han Sanping took a sip of tea, shook his head and said,

"The entire Chinese film industry is scared by you. Recently, everyone is discussing this 3D technology. When I went to visit the crew of "Gravity", you told me that the bottom line would be one billion. I still didn't believe it. Now the domestic box office is It’s 1.2 billion yuan, and I think 2 billion is possible. Shanhe, what do you estimate the global box office of “Gravity” will be in the end?”

Shan He gave Han Shan Ping more tea and replied,

"It is estimated that there is not much space left at the global box office. "Avatar" will be released in about ten days. The box office of "Gravity" will be severely compressed. I can't handle Cameron's power now!"

Han Shanping stared at Shanhe and questioned,

"Can 'Avatar' be more powerful than 'Gravity'? That's 1.2 billion US dollars in three weeks!"

Shanhe nodded and responded,

"I don't dare to draw conclusions on whether "Avatar" can achieve the explosive power of 1.2 billion U.S. dollars in three weeks, but the total box office must be more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. No one in the European and American markets can rival Cameron!"

"Two billion dollars!"

Han Shanping was a little stunned by this number.

"I really don't understand the current film market. People are getting old!"

"The great cause has just begun, and the explosive period of Chinese-language movies has just begun. You seem to be in better spirits than me, so why are you so old!"

Han Shanping was amused by Shanhe's words.

"Why are you like Feng Xiaogang, telling lies as soon as you open your mouth? Come on, I won't make fun of you anymore. I'm here to see you this time for serious business!"

Shanhe smiled and nodded,

"Uncle Han, tell me! I'm listening!"

Han Shanping straightened his expression and said in a deep voice,

“The country’s future strategic direction is outward, and our film and television culture is an important part of it. It also carries the mission of spreading ideas to the outside world and promoting the country.

A few days ago, the higher authorities held several meetings, instructing the film industry to adapt to the general direction and trend of global integration, and requiring us to find projects and cooperation to make some films with global influence. You and I were mentioned several times. "Gravity\

,"In the next two to three years, China Film is preparing to launch several major Sino-US joint venture productions. You and Zhang Yimou have to stand up and carry the flag! "

After hearing this, Shanhe raised his head and looked at Han Shanping in confusion. Is this the butterfly effect caused by me, or does this happen in the original time and space?

Han Shanping saw Shanhe frowning and not answering, so he asked,

"What, you have a problem? If you have a problem, just ask, China Film will do its best to help you solve it!"

Han Shanping's words brought Shan He out of his daze.

"Uncle Han, China Film has already prepared a project?"

"not yet!"

Han Shanping shook his head and replied, "There is no specific content required of us. In fact, we have had this kind of cooperation before, such as with Spielberg on "Empire of the Sun" and with Bernardo Bertolucci. The collaborations such as "The Last Emperor" were all led by foreign directors. This time we have our own international director, so you have enough autonomy!"

Sino-foreign joint venture large-scale production?

Shanhe immediately remembered two later movies, "The Great Wall" and "Mulan", neither of which were successful cases.

In fact, both stories are pretty good, one is a Chinese-foreign cooperation to fight monsters, and the other is a story of a heroine that has long been famous in both China and the United States.

But the filming was relatively unsuccessful. The basic logic of the movie was confusing. The investment and production scenes were not small, but it did not have the essence of China, and it did not suit the taste of Westerners.

It's foreign, it's not good, it's just like the food cooked by Hathaway, it's hard to swallow!

Shanhe is confident that it can adapt the two stories well, and estimates that it is unlikely to fail. At the very least, it will be a qualified commercial blockbuster.

But at this time, Shanhe's mind was reminded of Chen Ruidian, the "Chinese War Eagle" who had caused considerable public repercussions in Country M in the past few years.

Chen Ruidian, an overseas Chinese in the United States, was one of the first ace air combat heroes of Country M during World War II.

In 1932, at the age of 19, he volunteered to take a boat to Shanghai with dozens of other Chinese youths to join the Chinese Air Force in the fight against Japan.

In the end, he was the only one left alive among dozens of Chinese volunteers, while the remaining dozens of people all shed their blood in the sky.

In more than ten years, he had narrowly escaped death several times and shot down dozens of neon fighter planes. He was a famous ace pilot at that time!

In 1940, he died together with an enemy plane and eventually escaped by parachuting. His face and body were seriously injured by gasoline burns and his life was in danger. He later returned to the United States for treatment.

A year later, despite the doctor's obstruction, he joined the ranks of volunteers again despite the sequelae of burns, joined the "Flying Tigers", and returned to the motherland to fight the invaders to the end.

Since then, as the ace pilot of the "Flying Tigers", he has repeatedly fought with the enemy in Chinese airspace and shot down several enemy planes.

He also traveled to and from the "Hump Route" countless times, making an indelible contribution to the most tragic air transport in human history.

These are the heroic sons and daughters of China. Although they are from M country, they have a heart that belongs to China!

Chen Ruidian is well-known in Country M and has caused great controversy in public opinion, but almost no one in China understands it. Shanhe was filled with emotion at the time. Chinese people should remember these overseas Chinese sons and daughters. They deserve to be remembered and praised. !

"Uncle Han, can we film 'Flying Tigers'?"

"Flying Tigers?" Han Shanping was stunned for a while,

"Are you talking about Chennault's Flying Tigers?"

"right!"

Shanhe nodded, "This is the Flying Tigers. Many Chinese pilots among them have sacrificed their lives in the sky for the motherland and the anti-Japanese war. They are also famous in Country M. This theme can be accepted by both China and the United States!"

Han Shanping looked at Shanhe with some surprise, "The subject matter is not a big problem, but war themes are difficult to shoot, and it is also an air combat film. Are you sure about it?"

"I just had some ideas and I'm not sure yet. Is this not urgent?"

"There's no rush, you'll have enough time in two or three years. You can slowly prepare to choose a theme. I'll let the boss know about this!"

"That's good! I have to find some information first!"

After seeing off Han Shanping who came to visit, Shan He fell into deep thought.

Is it something I can master now to create an original war movie?

Starting from "Bottom Hot Girl", the progress brought by the four movies to Shanhe is obvious. Originally, his idea was to continue to use the memories in his mind to increase his experience. With the pictures in his mind as a base, he would have great confidence and confidence in shooting!

But now, an original opportunity appeared before me.

War movies have many scenes, complex characters, and high risks. Is it necessary to risk failure to try?

Shanhe was very hesitant and conflicted!

Since his rebirth, Shanhe can be said to have been in his comfort zone. After getting used to adapting the memories in his mind, he has always been full of confidence and confidence in his works!

When he really wants to step out of his comfort zone and face unknown challenges, he is also full of pressure and worries.

The reputation of being undefeated is both an honor and an obstacle!

Shanhe was disturbed by Han Shanping's visit, and he hesitated and struggled for several days.

The global release of "Gravity" continues. This week, "The Human Factor" directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon was released to join the box office competition.

The weekday box office of "Gravity" has dropped significantly. It has passed its explosive power and is now watching for a long run.

On Monday, the North American box office of "Gravity" fell below $10 million.

Nine million six hundred thousand dollars!

On Tuesday, it continued to fall, 8.3 million US dollars!

The European box office also suffered a huge drop, and the other five major Hollywood film companies finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn Huaxia Qiu finally exploded its energy. How could the raging Hollywood movie cluster be crushed by a Chinese!

The box office of "Gravity" in Europe and the United States dropped significantly in its fourth week, but it remained stable and strong in Asia.

In China, the base number is still over 30 million yuan every day, and the 3D screens are still overcrowded.

The box office decline trend of Neon, Bangguo, and Southeast Asia is gentle, and they are still far behind the second place in the box office rankings.

In the fourth week and seven days, "Gravity" once again exceeded 200 million yuan in China, 230 million yuan!

The cumulative domestic box office exceeded 1.4 billion!

The superior data once again aroused the silence of the film industry, as well as the cheers and pride of netizens!

Domestic box office rankings: first place "Gravity" 1.45 billion, second place "The Founding of a Republic" 540 million, third place "Transformers 2" 520 million!

This is such a disparity!

"Gravity" is still in theaters and the box office remains high.

In a few weeks, it is estimated that the combined box office numbers of the second to fifth films will not be able to compete with "Gravity".

Shanhe really does what he says.

Last month, I just said on CCTV that the box office of a single film would exceed 2 billion or 3 billion. Is it going to be fulfilled in front of the whole country soon?

All Chinese filmmakers secretly lamented and complained that Shanhe is not a son of man!

What a shame it makes us feel if you do this!
