    As previously speculated, although the right-wing film "Sunset" produced in Japan received a lot of media attention after its release, both box office and attendance rates were unsatisfactory.  "Five Sumo Boys" received unanimous praise from film critics, but the box office has always been tepid.  "Tetsuo 2" won the support of die-hard fans but had no choice but to be canceled before its release. Due to the age restriction, it did not show any improvement at the box office and could only wait for the release of the video tape like the previous film before competing in the world.  The imported film "Indochina", which was also favored by film critics, failed to succeed. The box office in the five days before its release was not half as good as that of "League of Assassins" on its first day. While it was smashed to pieces, it also once again made people realize the astonishing power of commercial blockbusters.  Ability to attract money.  However, Japan in the 1990s lived up to its reputation as a fertile ground for bad Hollywood movies. For more than two decades before the future mainland Chinese market took shape, it had been responsible for the failure of American Hollywood companies in Europe and the United States.  Failed films in North America provide a market and a steady stream of box office revenue.  What is unexpected but reasonable is that "Lethal Weapon 3" has seen a significant decline in attendance and reputation in the United States compared to the previous two films, and North American film critics have given many "bad reviews" to the film.  , but it was a hit at the box office after it was released in Japan.  Although the box office on the first day of release was slightly lower than that of "League of Assassins", its ability to attract subsequent revenue is no worse than "League of Assassins", which Lim Hyo-ji and Media Asia worked hard to promote. After its release, the two films were almost indistinguishable.  Hard to leave.  Even though "League of Assassins" has a higher reputation and attendance rate than "Lethal Weapon 3", it has more than 40% more theaters and screens than "League of Assassins."  Nai Ho, Japan¡¯s box office champion, has been overtaken by it. Half a month later, the box office gap between the two movies has remained between 200 million and 300 million yen. Judging from the strength of American distributors, Media Asia and Media Asia have not yet completed their integration.  It is difficult for Kadokawa Pictures to take advantage of it.  However, even so, a Hong Kong film can compete closely with American blockbusters in Japan. This has attracted the attention of the whole country of Japan, which has set off waves of admiration for beauty among the people since the war. Many heavyweights  Japanese newspapers even confiscated a penny from Zigan Wu, and devoted a lot of space to the great achievements of Lin Xiaozhi, Media Asia and Hong Kong films in recent years.  </p???? Many Japanese filmmakers have participated in writing articles and analysis. Not only are there many envious comments, but many Japanese filmmakers have also proposed to follow the example of Hong Kong films in learning and reform, so as to reverse the trend of Japanese live-action films in the past ten years.  Nowadays, half of the huge domestic movie box office market has been occupied by American movies and other foreign films for a long time, leaving only the abnormal development model of animation movies.  In the Japanese market, it may not be able to win the top spot at the box office in October, but in the UK, Hayashi Hyo-ji and his "League of Assassins" have made a big splash this time. In the second week of its release, it quickly climbed to the top of the UK box office rankings in October. Not only  He didn't expect it himself, and it even shocked everyone in the UK.  Although after several years of hard work, Lin Xiaozhi and Media Asia have now become quite famous in the UK. When his new movie was about to be released, he contacted 297 theaters to schedule the release, almost tying the number of "Alien 3"  (299), second only to "Lethal Weapon 3" (357) and "Batman Returns" (368) released at the same time.  However, although it seems that the British box office market this October is packed with American blockbusters, including "Alien 3", "Lethal Weapon 3", "Instinct", "Batman Returns" and other blockbuster movies in North America, "Assassin"  When "League" was released, "Basic Instinct" was already close to being finished. The film made a box office of 2.1696 million pounds in the UK on its first day of release. However, due to its subject matter, it was criticized by local British media, film critics and education circles. As of  It had been released in the UK for more than three weeks in early October with a box office of 13.72 million pounds, but the attendance rate dropped to less than 16%. When "Assassin's League" was released only three days after its release, it dropped with a final box office of 15.84 million pounds, ranking second  "The Bodyguard" grossed 17 million pounds, temporarily ranking second in the annual UK box office rankings.  "Alien 3", which Media Asia thought would have a strong impact on "League of Assassins", has tragically become one of the most unlucky American movies to be released in the UK this year.  "Alien 3", which was released five days earlier than "League of Assassins", made an astonishing box office of 1.6229 million pounds on its first day in the UK. The bad thing was because of the public relations of the American distributor, and the British  When rating it here, it is classified as '12' (suitable for viewing by adults over 12 years old), instead of 'Level 15' (suitable for viewing by adults above 15 years old) like "League of Assassins".  It would be fine if nothing happened, but when "Alien 3" was screened in Birmingham, a 12-year-old girl named 'Yoni Caroline' was so frightened that she burst into tears and had to be sent to a psychiatrist.  , and was diagnosed with severe animal phobia as a result.  Then a series ofThe tragedy also affected this tragic movie. First, the parents of "Yuni Caroline" sued the theater, the distribution company and "Alien 3" to court, and then the local judicial system in Birmingham  He quickly accepted the case and applied to the House of Commons to completely stop the screening of "Alien 3" in the UK.  In the recent "Pound Sterling Case", the U.S. government intervened in the British Ministry of Justice and intelligence agencies' pursuit of international fast money led by Soros, exposing the U.S. government's extremely disgraceful role in this incident.  As a result, the two governments are currently in an awkward diplomatic period of cold confrontation.  The British are obviously happy to see things that can cause trouble for the Yankees. The British judiciary, at the fastest speed in history, ordered theaters in England and Wales to immediately terminate the screening of "Alien 3" despite protests from the United States.  Even Scotland and Northern Ireland, which have a relatively independent judiciary, have made announcements that they must meet the minimum screening period and then withdraw the film after one week. As a result, "Alien 3", which was already gaining momentum, was no longer a threat to "League of Assassins" and had to be released in the end.  After taking in 657.2 million pounds at the box office, it ended in tragedy.  "Batman Returns" also staged a drama that Media Asia and even everyone did not understand. Although it was released three days earlier than "Assassins", it made a box office sensation of 2.7747 million pounds in the UK on its first day.  In Europe and the United States, however, expectations were too high and British audiences at this time were far less interested in superhero movies than Americans.  Therefore, the box office of "Batman Returns" quickly dropped to less than 2 million pounds on the second day, and dropped again to less than 1.5 million pounds on the third day.  On the first day of release of "League of Assassins", the box office dropped sharply to only 830,000 pounds, and the attendance rate also plummeted. It was once thought that it could reproduce the "American style" in the UK.  Brilliant's distributors and theaters were all dumbfounded, and the British media even ridiculed its "advertising is far more interesting than the movie." It is worth mentioning that the distributor once revealed that it had overwhelmingly promoted it in the UK, covering almost the entire UK.  All major TV stations, media and station signboards spent a total of nearly 4 million US dollars on advertising for this movie. Judging from the current box office, unless a video tape is released, it is obvious that even the advertising investment cannot be recovered by relying on box office revenue alone.  Looking back at "Assassin's League", because of its many novel ideas and the innovation and high quality that are completely different from many action blockbusters nowadays, especially the duel between super assassins in the movie that leaps dozens of meters away from a tall building, and the arc bullets that can turn.  ', and the extremely cool 1V's gun fighting skills of dozens of people were praised by British audiences and the media.  Several American blockbusters released in the same month were all underwhelming, which caused many British theaters to turn around and invest in Media Asia. As more and more theaters began to schedule films for "League of Assassins".  By the end of its second week of release, "League of Assassins" had easily exceeded 13 million pounds at the UK domestic box office. It not only firmly secured the top spot in the UK box office rankings in October, surpassing the second-placed "Batman Returns"  " opened a huge box office of nearly 4 million pounds, making "Lethal Weapon 3", which was released half a month later, only disappointed. At the same time, it also successfully surpassed "Beauty and the Beast", which had a box office of 10.98 million, with a brutal take.  It ranked fifth in the UK box office charts this year.  The fourth place above it is the already-prepared "Captain Hook". When this movie was released at the beginning of the year, it only received 13.69 million pounds at the box office in the UK. Considering that "The League of Assassins" has not yet reduced the attendance rate much,  Judging from its ability to attract money, surpassing "Captain Hook" is only a matter of a day or two. Even "Basic Instinct", which was just released at the beginning of the month, has just won the second place, and has already become something of "Assassin's League" in the eyes of the media.  What makes countless Hong Kong and even British media excited and curious is whether it can break the total box office of "The Ultimate Bodyguard" of 17 million pounds, which has held the annual box office champion for four months this year, and become the new British annual box office champion.  .  It is said that there is a boring gambling company in the UK that has opened a separate gambling project for this purpose, and actually received 17,000 pounds in betting money in just one week, which caused a heated discussion in the Hong Kong media.  The astonishing financial power of "League of Assassins" has also been fully demonstrated in the mainland. Since it was screened in the mainland, although the version has been cut off by the Ministry of Radio and Television, which holds the butcher knife high, it is slightly incomplete.  However, Lin Xiaozhi, who has always taken the high-level route, has established direct communication channels with the radio and television in the past few years. Therefore, after the public relations, the radio and television still gave him some face. They only cut off some of the protagonists in the movie, including ex-girlfriends stealing people and bullets directly hitting the head.  The genre is too romantic and bloody, but it doesn't affect the integrity of the plot too much.  In the 1990s, after more than ten years of reform and opening up, the mainland's economy had significantly improved compared to the people's income in the late 1970s, especially in coastal and inland provincial capital cities.  What's more, Media Asia has been leading and promoting excellent Hong Kong films since Hong Kong films went north last year. After frantically spending tens of millions of yuan on publicity, "Assassin's League" quickly caused a stir in the mainland once it was screened.The film was a sensation.  It is even better than last year's "Once Upon a Time" and "Once Upon a Time 2" which was released in the first half of this year. It easily earned more than 37 million yuan in box office in mainland China after only half a month of screening, making mainland movies more popular.  The world was shaken.  Driven by its ally Beiying, the most authoritative "People's Daily" in mainland China dedicated a large space to the second page of a certain edition in mid-to-late October to report on the matter. There were even commentators' articles on the matter.  This is fully affirmed: " Comprehensive promotion of modernization reform should not only make the people richer economically so that they no longer lack food and clothing, but also spiritual prosperity. For a long time, our country has only regarded movies and television as  It is a tool to promote policies and guide the people and cultivate patriotic sentiments, and ignores the people's yearning for new things, more knowledge and the unknown. There is no doubt that the Hong Kong compatriots who are about to return have done a good job, thanks to the efforts of Hong Kong filmmakers.  , in recent years, one after another, such as "Once Upon a Time", "Fighting Back to School", "League of Assassins" and other excellent film works that can not only entertain the public, but also invisibly enhance the people's patriotic sentiment and national pride have been produced.  . We mainland filmmakers still need to strengthen and learn from this point" "The first trial of "Assassin's League" was released simultaneously in many foreign places and achieved great success, especially in foreign markets such as mainland China, Japan, and South Korea.  It achieved astonishing box office results. In the UK, "League of Assassins" even defeated many European and American movies to dominate the UK box office rankings in October, making people in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan even more amazed and excited.  After all, it is definitely the first time that a Hong Kong film can achieve such a terrifying box office in Europe.  A lot of data was fed back to Hong Kong, which not only caused Media Asia Group's stock to rise explosively, but also caused the media's main page to be invaded by movie-related reports for a while, and many overseas distributors came forward uninvited.  Offering various generous conditions, we hope to introduce this successful commercial blockbuster to the domestic market as soon as possible.  Although the outside world is irritating and lively, Lin Xiaozhi can't control that much at this time. He has been staying in the hospital almost all the time recently because his son is about to be born!
