Huayu 1997 Main Text Volume 446 A beautiful man once in four thousand years and the Three Kingdoms series movie "New World" stayed in Xiangjiang for a few days, then hurried to Japan to promote "New World".
Cao Xuan is very well-known in Japan. He used to be famous as a singer. Last year's "New Police Story" made him a small circle in film and television.
You know, the Japanese box office of "New Police Story" is about 1.86 billion yen, which is about 150 million yuan when converted into RMB.
It ranked among the top 20 box office overseas movies released in Japan last year, ranking second in Asia, second only to Lao Mouzi's "House of Flying Daggers", and slightly better than "Kung Fu" with 1.7 billion yen.
Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" is currently the highest box office of Chinese-language movies released in Japan, with a box office of about 5 billion yen, and some say it is 3 billion yen.
At that time, it was the 1970s, and the exchange rate between RMB and Japanese yen was about 1:30-40.
Due to the difference in purchasing power, many things in it are difficult to calculate, but even so, this data is very scary.
Let's put it this way, currently the top ten Chinese-language movies in Japanese box office history, except for one "Shaolin Temple" by Li Lianjie, the others are all Bruce Lee and Cheng Long's movies.
In the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, Bruce Lee and Cheng Long were known as kung fu superstars and became recognized big brothers in the film industry because they were supported by Japan, the largest box office in Asia. .
"New Police Story" is very popular in Japan and has won a very good box office. Cao Xuan's fame and the role of Ah Xuan are of course very important, but Cheng Long is still an important factor that cannot be ignored.
Although Cheng Long is old and his box office appeal is not as good as before, he is still the most famous Chinese star in Japan.
The box office performance of "New Police Story" can be ranked among the top 20 in the Chinese box office list in Japan, and the results of DVD and TV channels may be even better.
This Cao Xuan has built a very good foundation among Japanese fans.
As a result, although "New World" is not a kung fu movie that many Japanese audiences particularly like, it still attracts a large number of audience support.
As of late August, the box office of "New World" in Japan has exceeded 850 million yen, which is nearly 70 million yuan when converted into RMB. Although the results are not outstanding, considering the cost, they are also considerable.
Moreover, after Cao Xuan and others came to Japan, they helped the publicity to a certain extent. At the same time, "New World" also began to play the sign of the first Hong Kong film and the second Chinese language, further attracting audiences to watch the movie.
Don't underestimate these two signboards. After all, it is a historical film in film history, and it is still very useful when you take it out.
?The United States and other regions that had no interest in this film are now also coming to negotiate copyright, and are preparing to introduce it, and the price is good, which shows the halo bonus given by this achievement.
"Cao Sang, you are the best."
"The peerless emperor of the Asian music scene!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, stay in Japan."
"Oni sauce, Auntie washes the railway"
"Standing in the world of vanity, singing the sound of sound!"
""
Outside the hotel where Cao Xuan and others stayed, nearly 2,000 to 3,000 Japanese fans of Cao Xuan came. Hundreds of people even had uniform uniforms, movements, and slogans to support Cao Xuan.
The government sent hundreds of police officers to maintain order, and several TV stations came to interview.
In the high-rise room, Fan Xiaopang and Sun Honglei were secretly talking while looking at the crowd of fans through the window.
In fact, such scenes are not uncommon in China, but they are very calm, even in Xiangjiang, they think it is normal, after all, Cao Xuan's popularity in China is here.
But I didn't expect that Cao Xuan could still make such a big commotion in Japan.
Although the domestic media and various channels say that Cao Xuan is very popular abroad, they have never had an intuitive concept. I still have some doubts in my heart, but I accepted it today.
Thousands of fans crowded the hotel to the brim. If they hadn't run so fast just now, they would have been almost surrounded.
"Boss, we can't evacuate for the time being. The police mean to deal with it coldly. If you show up, you may be prone to accidents."
"All right."
It is not an option to be blocked by thousands of people. It will delay the normal operation of the hotel. Just now Cao Xuan made a special trip to persuade the fans to leave.
? As a result, there were too many excited fans. When they saw him, they fell into a frenzy.
There is no way, Cao Xuan can only go back to the hotel to rest, and wait for the fans to get tired or calm down, and then cooperate with the police to disperse them.
"Speaking of which, this time is also the reason why the boss came to Japan too little. I heard from the police officer that manyHe didn't want to play the role of Lu Bu. If he had to choose, it would be Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang or Zhao Yun.
Cao Xuan personally likes Zhao Yun more, and he is more inclined to come to a Zhao Yun personal film to test the waters. The plot happens to be filmed at the end of Changbanpo. If the effect is good, it can be directly embedded in the Chibi War.
Cao Xuan wrote a lot of related thoughts, and the notebook alone has more than 20 pages.
However, whether or not to make a film still needs to be discussed internally by Fanxing's senior executives. If China Film and Shanghai Film Group is selected, it will also go through a lot of discussions and negotiations.
There are many things that he can't decide with a pat on the head. He wanted to shoot "Feng Shen Bang" in 2002, and "Military Division" also had an idea very early.
However, for various reasons, "Fengshen Bang" has not been considered until now, and it is expected to start in 2006-2007.
Not to mention "Military Division Alliance", now Cao Xuan is busy with movies and has no time to make TV dramas.
If the Three Kingdoms movie is really going to be developed, this TV series may have to be postponed.
Even if it weren't for "Military Division" which mainly tells the story of Cao Wei and the later period of the Three Kingdoms. Not only does it have a lot of original plots, but it has little involvement with the Three Kingdoms series of movies, otherwise Cao Xuan would have given up on it
At the end of August, the Japanese box office of "New World" has exceeded 1.05 billion yen, and 1.24 billion yen is 100 million yuan. It is only a matter of time before the goal is achieved.
The Hong Kong box office has now exceeded 68 million Hong Kong dollars, 70 million Hong Kong dollars can be broken in the blink of an eye, and 80 million Hong Kong dollars depends on luck.
The mainland box office of "New World" has also successfully exceeded the 200 million mark.
Right now, the rights of the US, Australia and South America are still being negotiated, and it has not been released. In Europe, it basically uses DVD and TV channels. There are not many regions where it is released, and the box office is very low.
The box office in Asia is quite impressive. South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand have accumulated a total of almost 50 million yuan.
Taiwan Province originally did not introduce some of the plots in "New World", but now its attitude is a little loose.
However, excluding those that were not released, the cumulative total box office of all other regions is about 55-60 million US dollars.
This global total box office data is second only to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "Ambush from Ten Daggers" and "Kung Fu", and is the top five Chinese film box office history.
In normal times, the media had long ago officially announced that "New World" has been confirmed as this year's box office champion.
However, since there is also a "The Promise" by Director Chen in the Lunar New Year file, many people are more optimistic about Director Chen. After all, this is a masterpiece that Director Chen wants to hit Hollywood.
There is also Cheng Long's "Mythology" in the National Day file. Although they don't think "Mythology" can win "New World", it is Cheng Long after all, and no one can guarantee it.
Except for Cao Xuan
He knows the script of "Mythology", which is almost the same as the original time and space, with the same schedule and actors. Even with the help of Fanxing theater chain, even if it is higher than the original time and space, Cao Xuan does not believe that it can break 200 million.
On the contrary, "The Promise", with the "New World" summer film to stimulate the film market, is definitely a good boost for the Lunar New Year film.
But don't forget, Cao Xuan also has "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" to block "The Promise" during the New Year's Eve.
The original time and space "The Promise" has a poor reputation and still won a box office of 180 million. The big reason is that there is no strong opponent in the same period, and the relevant theaters are frantically arranging films.
The most exaggerated theater chains give "The Promise" 60-80% of the film schedule every day, but as long as the marketing and exposure can keep up, even if it is made into a pile of shit, it can still get 100 million box office.
But now with "Xiu Chun Knife 2" it's different. It's definitely impossible for Fan Xing to let "The Promise" get so many film schedules, and everyone competes normally.
If any theater dared to rank "The Promise" at 80%, it would be openly showing favoritism, and Cao Xuan dared to let Fanxing Cinemas block "The Promise".
This is the advantage of holding the theater chain in hand, whoever dares to trip him up by arranging films, don't blame him for countering.
Yes, he, Director Chen and "The Promise" are Han Sanye's favorite treasures, but Boss Cao is not a vegetarian either.
Don't say that Mr. Han will not offend him for this matter. Even if he confronts China Film Group, Cao Xuan is not afraid. Boss Zhang dares to call Mr. Han a mountain sculpture, and Cao Xuan dares to say that he is a living bandit.
It's not that there is no one behind him, and he will go to cooperate with Shanghai Film Group when he is in a hurry
Of course, this is just an extreme statement. As long as Han Sanye is not stupid, he will not break up with Cao Xuan.
Besides, "Xiu Chun Knife 2" Zhongying also participated in part of the distribution, and it can be regarded as one of its own people. It is definitely not good to be too partial.
As long as the film schedule is relatively fair, let alone "The Promise" catches up with "New World", Cao Xuan is confident that "Xiu Chun Knife 2" will defeat "The Promise" head-on.
After all, that movie was really not that bad!
In the early years, many big productions were criticized as bad movies, but later people reversed their verdicts one after another. For example, movies such as "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" have received relatively objective evaluations.
Only this "The Promise", even if you want to reverse the case, you don't know how to praise it.
Even if Douban's group of talents turn over and over again, except for those in-depth analysis surrounded by clouds and mountains and mists, there is really only one who can make passers-by nod.
Zhang Yunv's passionate scene was originally the only bright spot, but because of the sex scene, the gimmick was greatly reduced.
Looking at the reports that boasted about Director Chen and "The Promise", Cao Xuan secretly disdainful.
When the Lunar New Year holiday comes, I will let you know what cruelty is??" has caught up with "New World", Cao Xuan is confident that "Xiu Chun Knife 2" will defeat "Wuji" head-on.
