Chapter 304: Box office of million in the first week!
During the seven days of the National Day holiday, some people are happy while others are sad.

The National Day movie season used to highlight the theme of "paying attention to reality, recording history, and remembering glory."

This schedule was created for this reason.

However, ever since Chen An's "My Sassy Girl" became a hit during the National Day, its box office of 139 million yuan created the highest box office during the National Day, and was also the highest box office for mainland movies at that time!
This allowed countless people to see the potential of the schedule, and gradually increased the number of films released.

Movies such as "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" began to be released during this period, adding a bit of entertainment rhythm while continuing to focus on the theme of reality.

This year, Hong Kong Island invested more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the big production "New Police Story", starring Fang Long.

It was released on September 24th and earned over 20 million at the box office in three days!

It is more than three times the Hong Kong market released during the same period.

It has refreshed the record of all domestic films released this year except "House of Flying Daggers", breaking the 1500 million records of "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy" in three days, and is also about ten times the box office of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" released at the same time!
However, there was a lack of follow-up, and when the National Day holiday officially opened, there was not much increase.

Chen An also knew that the box office of this highly anticipated movie was not very ideal, with the final figure being only 43 million in the mainland and over 20 million in Hong Kong Island. It was a huge failure without a doubt!
It wasn’t a big loss, as it was easy to sell the copyright with Fang Long, but in the end it didn’t achieve the desired effect!
The entire Hong Kong Island lineup has Van Long as the striker, the significance of which is self-evident.

The distributors and producers directly shouted: With Fang Long here, it will surpass "Clue"!
It seems as if the reason for the movie's success lies with Van Long.

Chen An found that everyone wanted to get close to him now, and wanted to compare themselves to him in all kinds of things!
"New Police Story" has been weak in follow-up, but the National Day schedule is still hot and unaffected!
First, Lu Tailang, who directed "Kekexili", cried in front of the media and said that he had worked hard in the northwest to shoot this movie.

We have done our best to make this humanistic film that calls on everyone to protect the Tibetan antelope, and we hope it will attract more attention from the audience!

Yes, I really cried.

He cried and wailed about the weak box office, the lack of publicity from the distributor, the tragic ending of the Tibetan antelopes in the northwest, and the fact that theaters were suppressing their film production rates, preferring to give the film to "New Police Story," which had already been on the air for two weeks, rather than to himself.

The box office on the first day of its release was less than one million in this period.

Seeing that she was about to be pulled out by the theaters, she started crying and caused public controversy!

In other words, there must be someone behind him, otherwise there would be no such person.

But it still couldn't stop the box office from showing any improvement. The audience's word of mouth was high, but it was still useless!

Then came the box office hit of "If Love"!
It directly entered the top ten of the box office list and earned 38 million in box office in just seven days!

It’s even higher than the “New Police Story” which was released in advance!

It became the box office champion during the National Day holiday, and achieved great success in both word-of-mouth and box office!
After a week of release, the attendance is still considerable!
The media directly stated:

'Light Year Media once again becomes the biggest winner of the National Day, "If Love" sweeps the schedule! '

'The first week box office was 38 million! "If Love" is the best proof of director Zhang Guorong's talent! '

'Light Year Media has once again made a lot of money. It is reported that the production cost of "If Love" has been recovered before it was released. Now the box office is expected to be more than 60 million. Light Year Media has made a great profit! '

'.'

The National Day holiday has ended, and the movie-watching craze has also stopped. "If Love", which almost dominated the holiday, has become the biggest winner!
Chen An or Light Year Media dealt a heavy blow to others!

I don't even need to do anything, you all can't beat me!
The Chinese-language director industry has a new rival, the once-popular actor and now highly-anticipated rising star director, Zhang Guorong!

Zhang Guorong was very happy about the great success of his first movie and achieved his goal.

At the media conference, he happily responded to fans: "Ah, thank you all for watching the movie. I have been practicing singing and dancing recently, and my body has recovered well. I will try to speed up the concert that was delayed before, and I will plan to hold it after the movie is released!" The unfinished concert has always been a concern for him, and it is also what fans are looking forward to.

And today he responded, and is about to complete the previously postponed concert!

The short National Day period shocked everyone, and Mr. Yang from Hong Kong Island couldn't help but sigh.

He teamed up with Fang Long and China Film Group and gathered some popular young stars, but in the end not only did it fail to meet expectations, it was overshadowed by Zhang Guorong's artistic musical film!
"Chen An, ah Chen An, ah"

Boss Yang tapped the table with his right hand and muttered to himself.

The other party is good in everything except what I have. It's really frustrating to see!
In particular, some of the older members of the team heading north from Hong Kong Island chose to refuse. Although the younger generation has a big voice, they are actually unable to take on the main responsibility.

He could foresee the potential of the mainland market, but he could never get involved.

Anyway, he was chosen by the other party. He is not only one of the backbones of the Hong Kong circle, but now he has demonstrated his ability as a director and suppressed the big production he had carefully prepared!

Why isn’t such a good young man from Hong Kong? If he were here, we could make use of the mainland market to recreate the golden age of Hong Kong!
China Film.

Han Sanping felt a little toothache. He had always cooperated with Chen An, but he didn't expect to be beaten this time.

He was beaten pretty badly. It was also the first time he faced off against Chen An, but he didn't expect to be beaten so badly.

He has always been working with Chen An to beat up other accomplices, but now the situation has reversed and he finally understands other people's feelings.

This time, China Film Group invested in and produced both "Kekexili" and "New Police Story".

"New Police Story" was okay, as Fang Long was selling the copyright, so at least it didn't lose money. "Kekexili" was indeed a huge loss, and it just touched the two million mark after seven days of release!

The investment was 10 million. Although the bulk of the profit went to Huayi, China Film Group also had a share. It was all money that was wasted.

"Thirty-eight million" Han Sanping's eyes were blank.

I have always wanted to support domestic directors, especially new directors, which is also part of the reason for investing in Lu Tailang.

But unexpectedly, the person who actually sat there was Chen An, who did three things at once.

I originally thought it was just an art film that made some money from selling copyrights, but I didn't expect it to have such a high box office.

It directly won the National Day box office championship, with a box office of 38 million in seven days. Even if the director was Zhang Guorong and had many fans, it would be impossible to get this box office. It’s still because the audience likes the film.

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of tea, Han Sanping suppressed his emotions and sighed, "What a pity, this kid eats all these small and medium-budget movies by himself."

The two have a good relationship and would call on each other for projects, but they are limited to big-budget productions.

Instead of thinking about these things, think about "The Martian" being sent to Hollywood for production.

"What a bullshit grand song and dance!"

Zhang Weiping threw the newspaper on the table and said with gritted teeth.

His own movie was criticized badly, but this guy's movie was praised to the sky. What a grand song and dance for domestic audiences, how could it compare to "House of Flying Daggers" in the slightest?
Zhang Yimou is not here, and no one would want to pay attention to him even if he was.
