Chapter 140: The target is that large ship!
The Thieves continues its box office surge, aiming to break mainland Chinese film records.

The fifth day of the lunar month.

The daily box office reached 21.7 million!

The total box office reached 122 million.

The sixth day of the lunar month.

Daily box office revenue declined, totaling 18.3 million.

Total box office: 140.5 million!
The seventh day of the Lunar New Year marks the end of the Spring Festival holiday.

The State Administration of Film, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Culture issued a joint announcement:

"Notice Regarding the Crackdown on Pirated [Thieves' Alliance] Audio-Visual Products!"

Based on the current daily box office trend and positive reviews, "The Thieves" could very well reach 3 million.

The $3.6 million box office generated by Titanic "must" surpass it.

It's impossible to allow a Hollywood movie to hold the top spot in Chinese box office records forever.

Back then, the hero was full of confidence, believing he could break the record, but he lacked the stamina and fell on the way.

After that, no one mentioned it for two years.

Until last year's "The Promise," which was considered the most promising to break the record, but who knew it would be such a disaster.

The task now falls to the [Thief Alliance].

The 98 ​​million yuan box office in 3.6 was a figure that left countless filmmakers breathless.

The destructive power of this film is no less than that of an American aircraft carrier, and it has opened the doors to countless international cinemas.

The crackdown on piracy has been effective, with several CD/DVD production workshops being raided offline and related websites receiving blocking notices.

This is good for the box office performance of "The Thieves".

Daily box office revenue reversed its decline again, reaching 23 million yen!

The total box office reached 175 million!

It took only 7 days to surpass the box office of "The Promise" and its next target is "Hero".

Besides a few production companies watching the box office, many filmmakers are also paying attention, wanting to see how far it can go.

Previously, Tin Siu-lok's use of an all-mainland crew attracted the attention of some filmmakers in Hong Kong, but most of them ignored it.

It's important to understand that Hong Kong's core market isn't just in mainland China, but also throughout Southeast Asia.

The success of the Thieves' Guild completely shattered this regional definition.

As long as the film content is good, mainland actors can achieve success in other markets as well.

Now, not only is the domestic box office booming, but it is also achieving good results overseas.

Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand have always been important markets for Hong Kong films.

The records held by Hong Kong films have been broken one after another by "The Thieves".

This subject matter has been met with a lukewarm reception in Japan, Europe, and South America; it's not popular.

North America has been a surprise.

She is the screenwriter of "Annabelle" and the director of "The Shallows".

Tian Xiaole has a certain degree of brand recognition in the North American market.

The Thieves grossed $12 million in its first week of release in North America.

What's even more remarkable is that out of South Korea's 48 million population, 2 million went to the cinema to watch "The Thieves".

The Hong Kong Island box office also performed well, grossing HK$15 million.

At Ying Huang's request, Jiang Wen led a team to Hong Kong Island for a roadshow, hoping to boost box office revenue.

···
The eighth day of the lunar month.

With the Spring Festival holiday over, the masses of people returning to their hometowns are flooding into the cities, while students still have a long holiday ahead.

The daily box office for "The Thieves" declined, taking in 17.3 million.

Total box office revenue reached 192 million!

Netizens are ecstatic!

The media is ecstatic!
Praising reports were published one after another.

The headlines on all major portal websites are all about "thieves".

Following "Hero," another movie poised to break 200 million is about to be released.

Many people recalled Tian Xiaole's slogan of getting 3 million, which seemed not difficult to achieve.

Suddenly, the number of press releases about "thieves" surged.

China Film Group, Huayi Brothers Media Group, and Enlight Media Group have intensified their promotional efforts once again.

Fan Binbin, Quan Zhixian, Huang Bo, and others are still on promotional tours, readily accepting interviews from reporters and patiently answering the same questions from the audience. With new records within reach, everyone is full of energy.

On the ninth day, the daily box office reached 15 million.

Total box office revenue has reached 208 million!
The film industry is in an uproar. With over 2 million yuan grossed in just nine days, it seems that Chinese films are truly entering a period of explosive growth…

Jiang Wen was tired but happy. The high box office of the movie, as the lead actor, would be beneficial for the later promotion of "The Sun Also Rises".

He wasn't expecting to make money from this film, but who wouldn't want to seize an opportunity to make money?

This way, we can give investors an explanation.

From the initial announcement to the film's release, netizens who have been following the story are also very excited.

They participated in a 200 million yuan project, contributing to the development of Chinese cinema.

Especially since most of the lead actors are from mainland China, they are more willing to support the show.

···
The film market is a winner-takes-all market, and the film "The Thieves" was the biggest winner during the Spring Festival season.

Films showing during the Spring Festival performed extremely poorly at the box office, with audiences drawn to "The Thieves".

"Fearless" has finished its theatrical run, with a total box office of 73 million.

King Kong has finished its run in theaters, with a total box office of 87 million.

The newly released film "Savage Secrets," directed by Wang Jin and starring Cecilia Cheung and Leo Ku, grossed 2.1 million yuan on its opening day.

It became the first film to be used as cannon fodder.

The tenth day of the month.

The influx of people returning to their hometowns to cinemas boosted daily box office revenue, reaching 18 million.

Total box office revenue reached 226 million!

With its star-studded cast and crew, "The Thief" became the king of the Spring Festival film season.

There's even a strong possibility that it will become the box office champion of 06, the uncrowned king!

The achievement of breaking 2 million in ten days has made countless people envious.

Flattery suddenly appeared all at once. Wang Zhonglei had been contacting Tian Xiaole frequently lately, and all he said were nice things.

Ye Ning from Wanda Cinemas also called to congratulate the film and mention Wanda's support for it, including allocating a significant number of screenings.

Wang Changtian, needless to say, has the potential to become the number one fan of Tian.

You could practically hear Mr. Yang's laughter through the phone; it only makes me more excited for the release of "Ip Man".

Nortel, though late, has arrived, releasing a brief announcement on its official website:
"Congratulations to Tian Xiaole, a postgraduate student in the Directing Department of our school, for his movie 'The Thieves' which has surpassed 200 million yuan at the box office!"

The first director to break 200 million yuan at the box office was Zhang Yimou, who is from the Beijing Film Academy, and the second was Tian Xiaole.

I have special insights into training photography students.

"It's a pity that the lead actor isn't from the Beijing Film Academy."

One of the acting class teachers said regretfully.

"It's good that there are three from Beijing Film Academy. Other directors who graduated from Beijing Film Academy don't support their juniors as much."

Some teachers also remarked.

"I have even more confidence in Xiao Le's next movie, Pacific Rim. At least the female lead will be someone we're the ones who are carrying the film."

The head of the acting department contacted Jing Tian and told her to apply to the Beijing Film Academy, promising that she would be admitted regardless of her score.

I thought it would take a lot of persuasion, but Jing Tian agreed right away.

···
Of course, Han Sanping and Tian Xiaole were not satisfied.

Given the current daily box office decline, reaching 3 million is a stretch, and surpassing the big ship will be even more difficult.

Both China Film Group and the Film Bureau have long wanted to get rid of this big ship.

"Xiao Le, the celebration party for 'The Thief' has been held ahead of schedule, hasn't it? It will greatly boost the movie's box office."

"Okay, then China Film Group will take care of it."

Tian Xiaole agreed to the plan.

Such a smug and boastful achievement, one that can be written into the work report, is certainly not something that can be competed with Han Sanping for.

In the afternoon, China Film Group, Xiaole Pictures, Enlight Media, and Huayi Brothers jointly announced the following:

"The Thieves Alliance will hold a celebration banquet at the Capital Grand Hotel to celebrate breaking 200 million."

So far, none of the projects that Hetian Xiaole has collaborated on have resulted in losses; all have been profitable.

This time, in particular, in addition to grossing 200 million yuan domestically, its overseas box office performance has been even more impressive.

The news, once announced, left all the production companies in awe.

The film was still doing well in the market, but they couldn't wait to hold a celebration banquet.
