Chapter 277 Market Performance
People around me don’t know the content of the script. After all, it’s just a game commercial. Who cares about it!
I thought it was planned in advance, and I think this shot was very well made.
However, Tang Yan noticed a clue from Jiang Heng's stunned expression.
"When did she become so courageous?"
Tang Yan pondered secretly, and a trace of regret flashed through his heart.
She met Jiang Heng when she was filming "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" a few years ago. They also had dinner and set off fireworks together during the Chinese New Year. If she had had such courage at that time, she might have been Mrs. Jiang.
It’s a pity that I was too timid at that time and missed it.
Later, when she was acting opposite Jiang Heng, Tang Yan still acted according to the requirements of the script and did not dare to act recklessly.
The overall shooting went smoothly and everything was completed around three in the afternoon.
"Everyone has worked hard. I'll treat you to a good meal tonight!"
Everyone agreed, but Da Tiantian wanted to run away.
She had been bewitched before and had the guts to "sneak attack" Jiang Heng, so how could she dare to stay any longer?
Jiang Heng said, "Don't run away. Get in my car later. I have something to tell you!"
After hearing this, Da Tiantian didn't dare to run away and obediently followed Jiang Heng into his car.
"How do you feel recently?" Jiang Heng asked with a smile.
Jing Tian was stunned. She thought Jiang Heng would ask about the kissing scene, but she never expected that he just asked her how she felt after becoming famous!
Can't figure out which one is more important?
Da Tiantian was a little crazy.
Little did they know that Jiang Heng did have some bad taste at this moment. After all, Da Tiantian in his previous life could never become popular no matter how hard he tried to promote her.
But now he has completely established himself thanks to the two roles of Bi Yao and Scorpion Spirit, and he really wants to know what Jing Tian thinks.
"Yeah, it feels good. Thank you so much. If it wasn't for my brother letting me play the role of the Scorpion Queen and Bi Yao, and not taking the trouble to explain the scenes to me and guide me, I might not have experienced this feeling for many years."
Jing Tian lowered his head slightly, and suddenly said: "So, don't think too much. I didn't have any other thoughts just now. I was just grateful for the moment and couldn't help myself!"
"Oh!"
Jiang Heng replied indifferently, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Da Tiantian waited for a while but saw no response from Jiang Heng, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is that it?"
Jiang Heng thought, what else can I say? I can't just say "very smooth"!
"I understand everything and I didn't think too much about it!"
Da Tiantian felt helpless when she heard that and pouted subconsciously, which instantly attracted Jiang Heng's attention.
Jing Tian smiled in shock, and then felt a little proud, thinking to himself: "Humph, men are indeed similar to what my sister said!"
However, she did not dare to continue playing with fire, but instead asked about the latest situation of "The Kingdom of Women".
"It's very good. Not just good, but the situation is very good!"
How can I put it, it’s just too popular!
The film has only been released for half a month, and the cumulative box office in the mainland market has exceeded 500 million.
Judging from the current box office trends, it may be possible to break through 900 million!
Nine hundred million, in 07!
It will not only refresh the box office record of the Chinese-language film market, but will also refresh the box office record of Jiang Heng's personal films in the mainland market.
The most special thing is that this movie is not Jiang Heng’s best work. It’s just a comedy with some love elements added to the special effects.
It can even be said that among romantic movies, it is not the best, but it has become the most popular. How can it be justified?
But the audience just recognized this, and felt that the previous "Lion Camel Ridge", "Pacific Rim", "Inception" and so on lacked the elements of love and comedy. If you had added these two elements earlier, would the box office be higher?
What’s even more amazing is that the film “Kingdom of Women” has also received very good reviews.
Douban scored it 8.1, which is considered a good work.
As for overseas, in the Japanese film market, the film immediately won the weekly box office championship after its release and continued to lead. In South Korea, the box office performance of "King of Women" also dominated the summer, and the total number of moviegoers has exceeded 5 million. It is estimated that by the time the film is released, it will have no problem exceeding 7 million.
In Southeast Asian countries, "Kingdom of Women" is the box office champion in the local market.
As for these countries, it is difficult to cultivate a high-quality film industry because the market size is too small.
It was originally the back garden of Hong Kong films, but was later conquered by Hollywood blockbusters.
But this time, Chinese-language films also have special effects blockbusters, and they are also classics that they are familiar with. Naturally, the audiences feel more involved in watching Jiang Heng's films, and the box office results are quite good.
The European and American markets performed slightly worse. First of all, when it comes to the humor, a lot of it is created by the lines.
But after the re-dubbing, the funny elements disappeared completely.
Some European and American audiences find the so-called regrets in love touching, while others are rather indifferent.
Fortunately, the special effects fight scenes they are used to are as exciting as always.
Therefore, the box office performance of "The Monkey King 3" in the North American market is relatively low. According to the current box office trend, it would be good if it could get 200 million US dollars.
The box office results in other European and American countries are similar, and compared with the peak box office performance of "Pacific Rim 2", it has dropped by almost half.
There is nothing that can be done about the cultural barriers.
But even so, the global box office performance of "The Monkey King 3" is expected to reach 700 million US dollars, which is basically the same as "Zhu Xian", and it will still make Jiang Heng a lot of money.
While making domestic investors envious, it also scared Wang Zhonglei and others from Huayi into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, they were not too excited when the release date of "Investiture of the Gods" was scheduled, and the time interval between its releases was as long as half a month.
If this was released just a week apart, or on the same day, wouldn't it have been a terrible success?
However, when it comes to "Investiture of the Gods", Wang Zhonglei and others were very interested in it at first.
But with the popularity of "The Monkey King 3", I became a little unconfident.
But sometimes I would also imagine that if "The Monkey King 3: Kingdom of Women" could achieve such a high box office, "Investiture of the Gods" would not be bad either!
Wang Zhonglei has been switching between extreme confidence and extreme unconfidence recently. He feels that if the film is not released, he will collapse.
Fortunately, after a long wait, it finally came.
On July 7, the Huayi version of "The Investiture of the Gods" was released in major theaters in mainland China.
Major cinemas across the country have also ushered in a new wave of movie-watching.
After all, although "Fengshen" is not among the four great classics, its fame has always been small.
In addition, Jiang Heng has not touched the "Fengshen" theme since "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", which makes the audience who likes this film and television theme wait a little anxiously.
Anyway, Huayi also shoots special effects blockbusters, so why not come and take a look!
In a cinema in Wukesong, Beijing, the theater showing "Investiture of the Gods" was crowded with people, with an attendance rate of up to 90%.
It can be said that except for the front rows and other seats with poor viewing experience, the rest have been sold.
The audience also watched the movie with great anticipation.
The Huayi version tells the story of Xiqi sending people to Chaoge to rescue King Wen of Zhou.
Those who participated in the action included Jiang Ziya, Nezha, Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi and others. The generals who appeared on the Shang side included the Four Generals of the Mo Family, Zhang Guifang and others.
The special effects are okay, they don't look particularly cheap, and the fighting scenes are also okay.
It's just that the costumes and makeup are too exaggerated, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
In addition, some of the plot adaptations were a bit awkward, and many viewers didn't know how to evaluate the film for a while.
