Black fans made all kinds of noise on the Internet, gave bad reviews to "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven", and called on parents to report it together and boycott this film that promotes violence.
The reality is that the impact of these "public opinions" on the box office is minimal, almost zero.
On the 12th, "China Film Report" was the first to reveal that the first-day box office of "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven" was 2.47 million yuan, which greatly refreshed the first-day box office record of the Chinese-language film market.
Yu Dong was upset after hearing the news, because he felt that if there was a midnight show, the first-day box office of the film would not only exceed 2.5 million, but it might even reach 2.7 million or 2.8 million. When reporting to the outside world, he could claim that the film's single-day box office was approaching the million mark.
For this purpose, he even went to the crew of "Black Myth: Wukong" and complained to Jiang Heng that it would be a loss if there was no midnight show.
Jiang Heng said that the midnight show was just a gimmick, just to make the first-day box office results look better, but it caused many people to work overtime and watch movies late at night, which was really unnecessary.
Yu Dong knew this excuse, he actually came here just to complain.
Finally, he smiled and said, "It's rare to find someone of your status and wealth who can think from this perspective!"
Jiang Heng said: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Anyway, I don't want to stay up until late at night to watch the new movie. It's really unnecessary!"
Yu Dong nodded slightly and didn't argue about it.
He appeared to come here to "complain", but in reality he was seeking credit.
After all, the film was able to break the single-day box office record. In addition to its high quality, the publicity and promotion work he was responsible for was also indispensable!
“Based on this box office trend, the box office will definitely exceed 800 million in the first three days of the weekend. It’s really amazing!” Yu Dong exclaimed.
Jiang Heng listened with a rather dull expression, because it was not what he expected. Instead, he asked about the situation overseas.
"News from overseas is a bit slow to spread. Currently, only North America, Japan and South Korea have received data!"
Seeing that Jiang Heng was listening attentively, Yu Dong began to explain in detail.
"Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven" earned 32 million U.S. dollars on its first day of release in the North American market, which is a good result.
According to estimates by a number of Hollywood media, the box office will be around 90 million in the first three days of the weekend.
As for the total box office in the North American market, it is hard to say.
For example, "Avatar", which earned more than 7 million US dollars in the North American market, only earned more than million US dollars in its first three days over the weekend.
Of course, this is not because the film was not promoted properly, but because it was released just in time for the blizzard that swept across North America.
This year's summer champion, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 4375," was released on more than 11000 screens in 20 theaters in North America and more than 20000 screens in countries and regions overseas in its first weekend.
The film grossed $1.69 million in North American market in its first three days, looking down on the world like a god. Meanwhile, it also grossed $3.07 million in overseas markets.
Whether in North America, overseas, or the global premiere of $4.76 million, it ranked first in human film history and broke more than 20 world records.
But the final box office of this film was 3.8 million in North America and 13.2 billion worldwide. To be honest, it is a bit disappointing compared to the amazing performance at the beginning of the release.
So it’s hard to say what the final performance of “Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven” will be in North America, but at least it’s been very good since its release.
The word of mouth is also good. Some viewers think the scenes are spectacular and have the feeling of "The Hobbit"! Some people think that the film is more magnificent and spectacular than "The Hobbit". The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and the continent collapsed!
Compared with "Triple Crown: The Fall of Heaven", a top disaster movie like "2012" seems to be nothing.
Some viewers also believe that the moon was actually split from the primitive continent, which is very imaginative and has certain scientific basis.
After all, among the theories about the origin of the moon, there is the "earth splitting" theory. Of course, some people also believe that the moon was "captured" by the earth.
However, the fact that the Great Continent was split into four pieces has caused some North American viewers to wonder, isn't there seven continents and four oceans in this world? Why is the continent here only divided into four pieces?
Those who are more knowledgeable about Chinese culture introduced the settings of the four continents in "Journey to the West" to their friends, which amazed the people around them.
But what shocked these people the most was the true body of Pangu condensed by the "Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array", which was tall and mighty, and its combat power was off the charts.
In comparison, Superman and the Hulk are so weak.
The single-day box office of "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven" continued to rise in the North American market, exceeding 1.16 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend, and finally achieved an excellent result of million US dollars.
Major Hollywood media outlets reported on the film, and the reviews published were mostly positive.
The Hollywood Reporter published an article saying: Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters have become more and more visually outstanding, surpassing the vast majority of Hollywood movies, and Chinese-language films are catching up with Hollywood in all aspects...
The editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times said that Jiang Heng's epic masterpiece presents unique grand scenes, spectacular vision, and exciting narrative, and will surely set off a viewing craze in the global film market.
A famous film critic spoke highly of the film's action scenes: Jiang Heng used all the visual tools he mastered to lead the audience like a strategic master, showing everyone every turn in the battle, the death of every warrior and the expression of the coward that changed the course of the story... In addition, the film's soundtrack is also master-level.
In addition, Britain's "Times" also gave a positive evaluation of "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven", believing that no film event can surpass it. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is magnificent. The struggle between the wizards and liches is epic, and their end of both sides suffering losses also inspires today's people.
It can be said that "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven" has achieved good box office results and reviews in the global film market, with only a slightly low reputation in South Korea, India and other places.
Needless to say, the Korean side still uses the same reasons as before.
The main reason for the difference in aesthetics in the Indian market is that they are used to musicals, and a good movie is one in which the actors sing and dance halfway through the plot.
Secondly, I feel that Indian mythology is more grand, and will definitely be better-looking if filmed than "Hong Huang".
Therefore, the film did not have a good reputation in India and its box office was not very good.
Of course, "Primordial Chaos: Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" is not distributed in India on a revenue-sharing basis, but the copyright is directly purchased, so the box office performance has nothing to do with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.
Three days passed in a flash, and the first weekend box office of "Primordial Chaos: Houyi Shooting the Sun" was released. It took 8.6 million yuan in the mainland market, which once again made Yu Dong upset.
If this movie was released at midnight on the first day, it would have grossed over 900 million!
Lao Yuyin called Jiang Heng again and said that "Fights Break Sphere", which was to be shown during the Spring Festival, had to be shown at midnight no matter what.
Seeing how persistent he was, Jiang Heng agreed and said with a smile: "You really value records too much. They may seem very meaningful now, but they will be just ordinary numbers in two years!" (End of this chapter)
