Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

On the first day of its release, "The Instant Universe" not only set off a word-of-mouth storm in the Chinese and American markets, but also conquered young movie fans in other markets around the world with its creativity and breakthroughs.

Movie fans and audiences in Europe, Neon, Bangkok, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan were all dazzled by this unique and mind-breaking comedy movie.

Conquering young people means conquering the Internet. "The Instant Universe" quickly became the darling of global online social platforms.

After watching the movie, many fans were crazy about discussing and recommending this groundbreaking comedy movie in their circle of friends.

Especially in various regions of Asia, the hilarious spoofs and unconstrained imagination of "The Instant Universe" directly hit the preferences of young movie fans.

Suddenly, swarms of young people entered the cinema.

"The Instant Universe" has entered the rhythm of harvesting box office and attention as expected.

Taking advantage of this momentum, both Disney and Chuhe Films have increased their investment in online publicity and promotion. If "The Instant Universe" can cause a wave of popularity around the world, the addition to the movie's box office will be immeasurable.

After China's first-day sales exceeded 90 million yuan, good news came from other regions one by one. "The World" has topped the box office list in major film markets around the world.

The box office in North America on the first day plus midnight slots exceeded 18 million US dollars, and the single-day single-theater box office is outstanding among large-scale films!

Especially in movie theaters near Asian communities across the United States, it is almost impossible to get a ticket and the theaters are full!

Major theater chains in North America have put down their wait-and-see attitude and are preparing to expand their film schedules next week. Judging from this situation, superheroes may not be able to suppress Huaxia Qiu!

In European countries, "The Transient Universe" has also performed well. Shanhe, a director who has swept two major European literary awards, has strong appeal.

Despite the disadvantage of film schedules that were not favored by theaters in various European countries, the film has grossed more than 15 million US dollars at the box office and has gained a huge reputation.

Especially in Britain and France, fans of Shanhe directly pushed the movie to the top of the box office rankings.

Neon's box office exceeded 600 million yen on its first day, easily surpassing its own country's romance film "Paradise Kiss" to top the box office rankings.

Bang Nation mobilized nearly 150,000 moviegoers on the first day. Shanhe's appeal in Bang Nation's fan culture is terrifying.

Many members of girl groups such as Girls' Generation and 2NE1 are fans of Shanha, and they often regard Shanha as their ideal type in variety shows.

Countries in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan are even more unable to resist Shanhe's new films. "The World of the Universe" undoubtedly topped the box office rankings.

The global box office of "The Instant Universe" was around US$60 million on its first day, which is naturally far behind Shanhe's previous "Gravity".

But this is a medium-investment comedy film, and it is also a purely Chinese film. Compared with large-investment special effects productions, it is naturally at a disadvantage.

It can be said that the first day's box office was largely due to the appeal of director Shanhe. This figure has exceeded the expectations of Shanhe and Disney.

What is gratifying is that the movie has received a great reputation around the world, and has received particularly high attention on the Internet. As more viewers and movie fans enter the theater, the popularity of the movie is bound to continue to rise.

The box-office future of "The Instant Universe" is bright!

The box office data was handed over to Shan He immediately. Shan He just took a look at it and didn't ask any more questions. What he urgently needs to complete now is the storyboard script of "Joker".

Shanhe hopes to finalize the script during his time in Los Angeles.

Without a script, project preparation and Heath Ledger's role preparation could not proceed normally, and the project would inevitably be delayed.

According to Shanhe's plan, "Joker" must be completed within this year. "Life of Yi" has been in preparation for more than a year. He has delayed the schedule for several months and will start filming next year anyway.

"The Instant Universe" is like a dice that has been thrown to Shanhe, and the number of points is no longer within his control.

It seems that my luck is still good, it should not be worse than "Dallas Buyers Club", and maybe it will break the global box office record for comedy movies.

While Shan He was focusing on writing the script, the three-day box office of the first weekend of "The Instant Universe" was released.

In North America, the sales were US$18 million on Friday, US$19.2 million on Saturday, and US$18.8 million on Sunday.

The box office revenue in the first three days was US$57 million. Unsurprisingly, it defeated "Soul Chariot 2" and topped the North American weekly box office rankings.

You must know that "The Transient Universe" has only opened in North America in more than 2,500 theaters and more than 3,200 screens.

On the first three days, the box office of a single theater in North America exceeded 22,000 US dollars, which is a very scary single box office figure.

This means that the movie has a very good reputation and is sufficiently popular and attractive.

All theaters are not fools. They will inevitably expand the scale of screenings and increase film schedules in the second week. The entire North American film industry knows that the box office of "The Instant Universe" is likely to experience a reversal in the second weekend.

The movie is surprisingly popular in the North American market. Young people have put the movie on the altar and discussed it endlessly on the Internet.

Many movie fans even go to the theater to watch the movie multiple times in order to understand and write down all the details of the movie.

Every universe in the movie has been discussed by countless fans online, and every classic movie scene or character that Shanhe pays homage to or spoofs has also been analyzed clearly.

The hilarious scenes with guest appearances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Fei Wen, Nicolas Cage, Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan, etc. are regarded as classics by countless netizens in China.

Yan Bingyan's outstanding acting skills, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang's comedy talents, and Ma Li's contrasting sense of joy are all sought after by young movie fans.

What is important is that the core theme of the movie is how to combat nihilism in life, which has always been a common problem in developed countries in the new century and is a social proposition that young people must face.

The future is not as beautiful as imagined, and life is not as satisfactory as imagined. What should we continue to work hard for?

This issue was put on the table by "The Instant Universe", and nihilism has become the hottest topic on the global Internet recently.

Not only in North America, but also in Europe, Neon and other countries are discussing this issue.

Especially in Neon, this country has the highest suicide rate among young people in the world, and most of them are influenced by nihilistic philosophy.

On the Internet in almost all developed capitalist countries, everyone is expressing their opinions and views on this issue, exploring the root cause of the problem and the solution.

Among them are many well-known politicians, educators, scholars, psychologists and other figures from all walks of life.

It is precisely because of this phenomenon-level topical popularity that the box office data of "Instant Universe" in Western countries and Neon are quite outstanding.

Adding up the European countries, the total was US$15.2 million on Friday, US$16.8 million on Saturday, and US$17.9 million on Sunday.

The box office on the first three days increased day by day, accumulating 49.9 million US dollars, almost breaking 50 million.

Neon's box office data has skyrocketed. It will exceed 600 million yen on Friday, 700 million on Saturday, and 800 million on Sunday, accumulating 2.1 billion yen.

This data is almost comparable to several animated theatrical movies.

Needless to say, "The Instant Universe" is a hit in China. Its overwhelming appeal and the popularity of Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang make the film stand alone in the market.

It exceeded 93 million yuan on Friday, directly exceeded 100 million yuan on Saturday, 102 million yuan, and 99 million yuan on Sunday.

The first three days are infinitely approaching 300 million yuan, 294 million yuan!

Including the United States, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia and other countries and regions, the global box office of "Emergency Universe" in the first three days of its first weekend is approaching 200 million, or 195 million US dollars!

Shanhe's cheating creativity and adaptation made "The Instant Universe" come out ten years in advance. Under his abnormal appeal, it surpassed the global box office of the original film in the first three days.

After three days of dissemination, the movie has caused a global craze around the world. The media in various countries naturally followed the hot spots and traffic, and reported extensively on the box office data of "The Instant Universe".

"60 million in North America and 200 million worldwide! Hua Xiaqiu uses his genius creativity and imagination to break the ceiling of comedy movies!"

"The North American box office of "The Hangover" totaled 280 million, and the global box office of "Mommy" reached 610 million. These originally god-like comedy movie figures trembled in front of the breakthrough "Instant Universe"..."

"Hua Xiaqiu broke through himself and opened up a new language for movies. He used groundbreaking movie shots to break the disapproval of European countries. The box office in Britain and France exceeded US$7 million in the first weekend..."

"God-like creativity, Hua Xiaqiu uses incredible imagination to interpret the philosophy of confrontation with nothingness. Neon's first three and three days are 2.1 billion yen, and the global box office is approaching 30 billion yen!"

""The Instant Universe" once again broke the domestic film ceiling, with a single film exceeding 100 million in a single day and 300 million in three days. Shanhe leads the Chinese film market to go global..."

…

The global media has been bombarded with reports in turn, and film critics from various countries have not been idle, and they are surprisingly positive.

On the Internet and in paper media, various innovative breakthroughs in the film and the artistic elements contained in them were analyzed clearly.

"The Instant Universe" took three days to set off a wave of trends in the global film and television entertainment industry and all walks of life.

Several leading actors in the film have skyrocketed to great heights. Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang have not only consolidated their status as first-line superstars in China, but have also become popular comedians around the world.

"Nicholas Bolchon" and "Wimond Wong" amused movie fans around the world!

Yan Bingyan has amazed the world with her acting skills. She has risen to the top in China. In North America, she has been rated as the most exciting performance of the year by various media in North America. She has already booked an Oscar nomination for next year.

After Gong Li, Shanhe once again promoted a well-known domestic actress!

Ma Li has made the biggest leap, and the villain Joey is brilliant in her performance. Her unique sense of joy is very dazzling in the character.

This allowed her to work directly from a penniless stage comedian to the front line in China, and she is extremely recognizable. There is no shortage of male comedians in the country, but there is a shortage of female comedians, and she just fills this gap.

The stubborn and cheerful old man played by Li Xuejian has also received praise and love from many movie fans. Compared to the above four, he has not benefited much. He has consolidated his nationality at home and become familiar abroad.

The highly topical nature of "The Instant Universe" has brought a good harvest to the actors, and also brought confidence to Disney and Chuhe Film and Television.

Both companies are delighted with this situation, especially Disney. They face too many competitors. One of the most popular superheroes in the DC universe has decades of accumulated feelings in North America and the Western world.

To be honest, Bruckheimer's strategy seems awesome to Shanhe, and that's because he has future memory fragments as a basis.

In the eyes of Disney and ordinary people, this strategy is an extremely crazy gamble!

In order for the "Praise Plan" to be successful, the first foundation is that "The Instant Universe" can have a huge reputation in the first week, and it must have good market performance.

Even with the guarantee of Shanhe's glorious past, no one can be sure that Shanhe's unique comedy movie will be accepted by the audience and welcomed by the market.

Sometimes, the movie market is strange, and word-of-mouth and quality do not represent box office success.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is an example!

Shanhe did not disappoint them. Now that this foundation has been achieved, "The Instant Universe" not only received a great reputation, but also triggered a discussion on the "philosophy of nothingness" throughout society.

The box office data also exceeded expectations, which means that Bruckheimer's gamble has been half successful, and the pressure will now be on Warner and DC Comics.

Time Warner on the other side is indeed feeling tremendous pressure.

Since the failure of "Superman Returns" in 2005, Time Warner and DC Comics have been lying low for five years before starting the second step of the DC Comics universe again.

Both Time Warner and DC Comics attach great importance to this movie.

Disney used Hua Xiaqiu, who had just finalized the cooperation of "Joker", as a weapon, which really made Warner swallow a sigh of relief and grit his teeth with hatred.

But they had not considered "The Instant Universe" as their main competitor before. A Chinese-American comedy film with a production cost of 60 million US dollars, even with Hua Xiaqiu's bonus, probably wouldn't have much success.

They are more concerned about the subsequent release of "Fast and Furious 5". After all, this is a sequel movie with enough fans and popularity base.

But Bruckheimer's operation made them alert all of a sudden. They were all old bastards and foxes in Hollywood, and Warner executives knew Bruckheimer's purpose.

Disney dares to make such a bet, which shows that they have full confidence in Shanhe's new film and directly put their firepower on "Green Lantern".

Previously, Time Warner and DC Comics also felt that Bruckheimer and Shanhe were a little too arrogant.

The fact that a Chinese comedy film can beat "Soul Chariot 2" has proved Huaxia Qiu's appeal in North America. If you still want to take on a superhero head-on, think too much!

However, the ferocity of "The Instant Universe" was completely unexpected. For a moment, they seemed to be caught off guard and in a hurry.

Time Warner President Jeffrey Bliss personally hosted the last regular meeting before the release.

…

"Greg, are the theater schedules ready? We must ensure the scale of the show!"

"It has been booked. 3,800 theaters in the United States and nearly 5,000 screens will show "Green Lantern" at the same time. However, the second week of "The Universe" will probably not be much worse than ours. The movie The reputation is so good, I’m afraid we will be greatly affected!”

Jeffrey was heartbroken for a while, damn Disney, I'm afraid they have been plotting against the DC movie universe for a long time!

"Green Lantern" has been praised to the sky before. Once the reputation of the movie cannot support the audience's expectations, the impact on the DC Comics universe will be disastrous. This is why Hua Xiaqiu wants to use Hua Xiaqiu to combine "Green Lantern" and DC Comics The universe is completely ruined!

Thinking of this, Jeffrey had a bad premonition, turned to director Martin Campbell and asked:

"Martin, what do you think of Hua Xiaqiu's "The Instant Universe"?"

Martin Campbell looked up at Warner President Jeffrey. Does it make sense to ask this now? Do you want to put the pot on my head first?

"No one can deny Hua Xiaqiu's talent. "The Instant Universe" is a groundbreaking film that has a fatal attraction for young people. As a director, I envy his genius and Disney's trust in him. , unfortunately the editing rights of "Green Lantern" are not in my hands!"

Jeffrey was suffocated by Martin Campbell's answer. A burst of anger arose in his heart, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. Damn old guy, start preparing for a retreat now!

When DC Comics President Diana Johnson saw this, she couldn't help but feel short of breath. The movie hasn't been released yet, what are you doing!

She quickly changed the topic to smooth things over.

"Jefferson, does your marketing department have any expectations for the movie's box office prospects?"

"The schedule choice of "Green Lantern" is very suitable. The Father's Day schedule is very suitable for the male hormone atmosphere of "Green Lantern", so the largest audience of moviegoers is adults over the age of 25, which is different from the moviegoers of "The World". There is a certain overlap in the crowds, but they are not exactly the same. Our marketing department’s first-week box office estimate is 80 million to 90 million!”

The marketing manager's answer made the atmosphere a little more relaxed, and Jeffrey also relaxed.

If the box office can reach 80 million US dollars in the first week, it will at least ensure that the movie does not lose money. He does not expect "Green Lantern" to be a big hit now, but only hopes to start the DC movie universe smoothly.

"Now that everything has been arranged, let everyone act on their own. Let me say one more thing, "Green Lantern" is very important to Warner's future. I hope everyone understands that we cannot lose!"

…

After the regular meeting, only the two presidents, Jeffrey and Diana, were left in the conference room.

The two of them are grasshoppers linked by the same thread. Whether the DC Universe can successfully launch is crucial to them!

Diana looked at Jeffrey and asked softly:

"Jeffrey, you don't seem to have enough confidence in "Green Lantern"?"

After hearing this, Jeffrey looked up at Diana for a while, showed a wry smile and asked:

"Diana, have you gone to the cinema and watched Hua Xiaqiu's "The Instant Universe"?"

"Of course I watched it!"

Diana Johnson nodded and replied,

"Hua Xiaqiu is indeed amazing. Before him, no one thought that the movie could be shot like this. To be honest, I like Xiulian in the movie very much. I even saw my own reflection in her!"

"The filming of "The Instant Universe" is so innovative!"

Jeffrey took off his glasses, sighed and responded,

"After watching "The Instant Universe", I realized that "Green Lantern" is so cliche. Diana, I have a very bad feeling. We may have to prepare for questioning from the board of directors!"

Diana Johnson frowned and thought for a moment, then said:

"The script of "Joker" is almost completed. According to Hua Xiaqiu's arrangement, the film will be completed this year and will be released in the first half of next year!"

She paused for a moment and looked at Jeffrey as he continued,

"If "Green Lantern" really fails, "Joker" will be our best answer to the board of directors, and it will also be our opportunity to come back to life. I believe in Hua Xiaqiu. Based on my investigation of him during this period, his Your character and talent deserve our trust!”

Jeffrey raised his head and smiled helplessly,

"That's the only way! It's ridiculous to say that we actually pinned our last hope on our biggest competitor. Alas, if Hua Xiaqiu can take over DC Comics, I won't be afraid of Marvel at all!"

Diana shook her head,

"It's unlikely. He is indeed not interested in superheroes, but I will try my best. Hua Xiaqiu can't be convinced. We can find Hathaway. Whether it's Catwoman or Wonder Woman, as long as she is willing, we can give her The best conditions!”

"You can try it!"

…

Regardless of Warner and DC Comics' calculations, "The Transient Universe" expanded its screening scale on the first working day of its second week in North America.

The number of theaters opening from the original 2,500 has increased to 3,600, and the number of screens that originally cost less than 3,200 has also increased to more than 4,500.

As a result, the first working day of the second week of "The Instant Universe" brought another surprise to the United States.

The box office revenue on Monday was US$15.6 million!

You know, there is a huge difference between the weekend box office and the weekday box office in North America. A drop of less than double is normal. Movies with good reputations also have a drop of 60 to 70 percent. A drop of less than 50 percent is a phenomenal figure. .

The drop of "Ephemeral Universe" was less than 15%, which is a miraculous figure in the eyes of the North American media and the public!

It went up a bit on Tuesday, to $15.8 million!

Now the media in China are excited. The last time a Hollywood movie had this kind of data was back in 1997 with "Titanic."

At that time, "Titanic" only grossed a measly $27.6 million in its first weekend.

But a miracle happened. The box office of "Titanic" reached 60 million US dollars in the second weekend and 70 million US dollars in the third week... The movie was screened for 281 consecutive days, setting a record in North America.

At that time, the box office of "Titanic" in its second weekday was exactly the same as that of "Titanic".

"The great magician replicates the miracle of the great ship? The box office of "The Instant Universe" is seriously underestimated!"

"Huaxia Qiu recreates the miracle, ignoring the difference between weekends and working days!"

"The drop in working days is less than 15%! "The Instant Universe" is the right way to open a Hollywood movie. Talent creates the extraordinary, and innovation brings miracles!"

"My god! Comedy movies can also bring miracles?"

…

Amid the exclamations from the North American media, Zhong Lifeng rushed to Los Angeles with Yan Bingyan, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang and Ma Li.
