Chapter 192: Million Box Office Director Club!
Zhang Weiping looked at the numbers in the newspaper and his eyes turned red.

Not counting the previous distribution rights and current box office, the current 2700 million US dollars alone makes him greedy.

Your own "Hero" must not be worse than the other party's!
Having spent such a huge investment, the crew is now spending money like water every day just for this huge return!
However, after reading the newspaper, Zhang Yimou became worried.

Now that Chen An's film has been released ahead of schedule, with great examples before him, even he himself doubts whether he can achieve the same result.

The filming has been going on for more than four months and is almost coming to an end. I have a rough idea of ​​the outcome of the film.

Riding on the momentum of copyright sales, "Chronicles of Time and Space" broke the box office record again!
It was originally predicted that it would take four weeks to break the 200 million box office, but it officially reached that mark on the second day of the fourth week!
After 23 days of release, the box office officially exceeded million!
Following the '100 million box office directors club' created by Chen An, the '200 million box office directors club' was created again!
Since their establishment, these two clubs have only had one person, Chen An!

It can be said that in today's film market, no one can match him!

The media even shouted out, "The only one who can defeat Chen An is Chen An himself!"

As the screening time gets longer, no matter how good the movie’s reputation is, the box office has inevitably declined.

There is no award like the Oscars in China that can help increase box office sales.

Moreover, even though various measures have been taken in the past three or four weeks to curb the emergence of piracy, dozens of large and small piracy production dens have been destroyed.

The report was published directly, but jealous pirates still came in an endless stream.

The box office has exceeded 200 million, how many discs have been sold?

Pirated discs of "Time and Space Clues" are already circulating in the market.

Even though the image is blurry, there are still countless buyers.

Where there are buyers, there will be sellers. This kind of thing cannot be stopped. Pirates will still sell their pirated products even at the risk of being imprisoned.

This is an unstoppable blow to a film like "Time and Space Clues" which has a suspenseful structure and a mystery-solving tone.

Compared to going to the cinema again and again, the benefits of watching the disc over and over again are self-evident.

Some people are happy to do so, some people are really financially strapped, there are all kinds of situations. Chen An himself also bought pirated copies in the past.

If they can produce pirated copies despite such precautions, their origin is obvious.

Four weeks after its release, although the film was not removed from theaters, its screening schedule was inevitably reduced again and again, and is now less than half of its peak period.

But compared to other movies, it still has a very high screening schedule.

Chen An had nothing to say about this.

His focus is not on this now, and Jerry has already issued a notice.

The script written by the DC screenwriter was printed and submitted in the morning of the second day after it was completed, but it was rejected after a meeting in the afternoon.

The plan to restart Batman has been temporarily declared a failure.

However, he had already submitted all the drawings designed by Chen An.

Chen An couldn't help laughing out loud, "Pfft - sorry Jerry, I'm drinking water, I can't help it. I spent so much time writing the script and I'm out in less than a day?"

"Hahaha, laugh if you want to. I can even send you the script so you can see what those guys wrote. They almost got me fired." Hearing Chen An say this, Jerry on the other end of the phone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He already knew that it was impossible for a group of people whose comics were getting worse and worse to come up with a decent script.

Chen An wiped the water stains on the desk with paper and said, "That's better not to do. I'm not interested in watching a script that even Warner can't stand. Well, if there is any situation, please notify me."

"Chen I think you can start writing the script, my brother-in-law Barry will definitely think of you immediately and apologize for his stupidity."

"I hope it will be as you wish. I will start trying to write the script." Chen An agreed, even though the script had already been written.

After throwing the used paper into the trash can, Li Xiaoping just pushed the door open and Chen An looked over curiously.

Li Xiaoping walked to Chen An's desk and placed the statistical report on it.

Chen An looked over. This was the data released by Sony, showing the performance of the film in East Asia.

The best performing one was Little Days, which earned 24 billion yen in three weeks, or about million US dollars at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing film in East Asia except for China.

Although the box office in South Korea is much worse than that of "My Sassy Girl", it only grossed more than 7 million US dollars in three weeks. It is still unknown whether it can finally break through 10 million US dollars.

The Southeast region performed well, with a total box office of 12 million US dollars.

The film has already broken into the top two in Hong Kong Island, beating the 1 million box office of "Harry Potter 4341" in four weeks of release, reaching 4467 million, second only to "Shaolin Soccer".

The performance in Taiwan was much worse than last time, with only over 60 million in box office revenue in four weeks.

Combined with the 2.21 million US dollars in box office in mainland China over the four weeks of its release, the total box office in East Asia has exceeded million US dollars!
Excluding the European box office where it was just released, the global box office has now exceeded 1.3 million US dollars!

Although the films have not been taken off the screen and are still being shown, the box office potential in East Asia has basically been exhausted, and there will not be much growth in the future.

Excluding the more than 30 million box office in China, the global box office is almost over 100 million US dollars, plus the European box office which has just been released.

Overall, although Sony spent 2900 million US dollars on the purchase, it still made a lot of money!
Although this money was not earned by Chen An, it is good news anyway.

Although the incident was reported, it still did not help the box office much.

The film has been released for more than four weeks and a month, and the subsequent box office revenue basically depends on time.

Postponing the release for another month is just to extend the box office record.

The number of screenings in cinemas has been reduced again and again, and is now less than 20%.

Although the decline is obvious, the box office revenue is still over millions.

"Big Shot", which was originally withdrawn from the schedule, was not released again until this time.

It currently accounts for the majority of box office revenue.

Jiang Wen’s “Looking for a Gun” was also much worse in production, but the rough cut has been completed and the results are good.

Chen An plans to take the film to Cannes after it passes the review to see if it can be shortlisted, but of course this does not mean the main competition unit.

It would be good if it could be shortlisted for the Critics' Week, after all, this is Diao Yinan's first work.

I am the producer myself, and there is no problem with Jiang Wen being nominated as the leading actor.

"Okay, it's settled. You guys hurry up and I'll submit it to Cannes. If we hurry, we should be able to make it in time." Chen An said to the two of them after watching the rough cut.

By the way, he patted Diao Yinan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Maybe you can even win a Golden Camera Award."

Diao Yinan shrugged helplessly and said bitterly, "Director Chen, please stop making fun of me."

Although he was the director, the three people present all knew exactly whose work it was.

Although he was also involved and discussed with Jiang Wen, most of the results were predictable, especially since Chen An had said it in advance.

"Why think so much? At least the award belongs to you." Jiang Wen grinned and put his hand on Diao Yinan's shoulder unconsciously.
