Huayu: Enjoy Yourself

Chapter 354 The Pinnacle of Chinese Language: The Era of 400 Million!

The box office record has been broken, but the movie is still being shown!

The Martian's box office has completely slumped, but it is still climbing.

The box office growth is reported daily, even if it's not number one.

It's already the highest, so naturally we're all looking forward to seeing just how high it can go!

Moreover, the evening news coverage has an effect that many propaganda efforts cannot achieve!

It is foreseeable that in 2005, "The Martian" and Weibo will become the hottest words!

Paris.

Zeng Li, who rarely goes out for a stroll, discovered that quite a few people actually recognized her!

Seeing the GG sign made me realize that "The Martian" had already been released in Europe, and it did quite well in France!

Although they love art films, they are not as averse to commercial films as rumored.

Chen An's films have consistently performed well at the European box office.

What's more, this time it's Chen An plus Leslie Cheung, who once shone brightly at Cannes.

Having been nominated for Cannes several times, "Farewell My Concubine" even won the Palme d'Or, and its popularity is quite good.

In particular, his performance in "Happy Together" made him no less outstanding than Cannes Best Actor Tony Leung!

The situation remained the same when we went to London to film. Even though I was just a supporting actor, I couldn't believe that Leslie Cheung would come in person!

This also proves that "The Martian" is very popular in Europe!

"How's it going? You're still so popular even abroad. Do you feel like a big star?" Chen An asked with a smile after arranging the filming location.

"I'm quite happy, but I wonder what it will be like to see Director Zhang here. He's always been quite popular."

Zeng Li looked up and sighed.

Everyone present smiled.

Leonardo DiCaprio laughed and said, "Ms. Zeng, don't get too excited. If you're like me, you'll run into fans and reporters wherever you travel. You'll know what trouble that is!"

He is able to understand the other person's feelings.

At first, I was happy to meet people who knew me in a foreign country, but after Titanic, when I had fans everywhere, it became a problem.

People who just come over to say hello are fine, but those who insist on taking photos together or taking pictures without permission are a real headache.

Zeng Li shook her head and said, "Leon, you're overthinking it. I can't become a big star like you with so many fans all over the world."

"Who knows?" Leonardo shrugged, glanced at Theron beside him, and spread his hands, saying, "Maybe Chen will help you win an Oscar for Best Actress and make you a big star overnight."

He's quite adept at stirring up trouble.

Upon hearing this, Theron glanced at the other person and rolled her eyes.

The others couldn't help but laugh.

Chen An quickly said, "Leon, you just wait! Even if I had a great script that could win an Oscar, I wouldn't be looking for you!"

"Oh, no, Chen, I was just joking!"

"You're just waiting to die!"

The Martian was shown for eight weeks and successfully ended its run on the fifty-sixth day!

Box office revenue has been declining for the next four weeks and is unlikely to generate significant growth!

However, the objective has been achieved!

On that day: "The Martian" successfully concluded its run! The final box office figure reached 4.2 million yuan, ushering in a new era for domestic box office!

A new era has begun, the era of 400 million yuan in box office revenue has been successfully ushered in!

Chen An's film has once again created a unique phenomenon, grossing 400 million yuan at the box office!

Major media outlets rushed to report on it!

But the story doesn't end there; more revelations continue to surface on Weibo!

While other media outlets were still reporting on the domestic box office performance of "The Martian," Weibo directly pushed out breaking news!

[The Martian surpasses $400 million in global box office! Becoming the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in history, and entering the top ten of the 2005 global box office chart!]

First-hand information, leaked directly!

For the first time, a Chinese-language film has entered the top ten of the global annual box office chart!

A piece of meat was torn from the mouth of Hollywood!

Not only did it gross over 400 million yuan at the domestic box office, but it also grossed over 400 million US dollars worldwide!

According to statistics and leaks from Sony Pictures!

Surprisingly, the film's biggest box office market wasn't in Hollywood, but in Europe!

It raked in $1.4 million at the box office!

Among them, Potato Kingdom, Britain and Germany respectively grossed 33 million US dollars and 16 million US dollars at the box office!

France also raked in $20 million at the box office, while Spain took in $12 million!

The four countries alone grossed nearly $81 million at the box office!

Latin America only managed to cut $26 million in total, less than the UK alone!

Conversely, it only grossed $1.1 million at the box office in North America, its largest market.

However, this includes box office revenue from the Asia-Pacific region.

South Korea and Japan each grossed $20 million at the box office!

It's clear that the movie was a huge hit in South Korea, with Leslie Cheung and his sassy girlfriend pairing up.

The film "Little Days" performed well, but as the second largest box office market, it's clear that the target audience for the film is quite different!

The combined box office revenue across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong is equivalent to 67 million US dollars!

The Southeast Asian market raked in $27 million, bringing the total to $1.34 million!

The global box office has surpassed $4.1 million!

It beat Will Smith's "Hitch" to $3.71 million at the box office and entered the top ten of the year!

It was ranked after "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," which was brutally beaten by Chen An!

Both of Chen An's films this year made it into the top ten of the annual box office charts!

One of them is "The Dark Knight," which tops the list!

With $11.4 billion in box office revenue, it topped the charts and moved into second place in film history!

One of them is "The Martian"!

With a box office of $4.1 million, it ranks last, but it is the highest-grossing Chinese-language film!

It's fair to say they've dominated Hollywood, or even the entire world, this year!

Liu Qianqian stared at the computer screen with her mouth agape.

I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things.

News reports on Weibo indicate that "The Martian" has grossed $4.1 million worldwide!

"Four hundred million US dollars! Such a high box office!" Liu Qianqian murmured in disbelief.

This is simply a miracle that a Chinese-language film has achieved such high box office numbers.

Just as she was somewhat lost in thought, a pop-up notification appeared on the webpage, reminding her that the person she was following had a new message.

Liu Qianqian clicked on it and exclaimed, "Ah!"

Suddenly, he shouted!

"What's wrong!"

Aunt Liu quickly pushed open her daughter's bedroom door and saw her silly daughter jumping around wildly.

He kept muttering to himself, "Haha...hahaha...I won...I won!"

Did you scare Aunt Liu so much that you practiced singing in your room and made her go crazy?

"Sisi! Sisi!" Aunt Liu rushed over in a panic and grabbed her daughter, who seemed a little confused.

Holding her in her arms, Sisi was everything to her, she quickly covered the other's forehead with her hand to check.

After calming down, Liu Qianqian was a little confused. She removed her mother's hand and asked疑惑地问道, "Mom, what are you doing? When did you come in?"

Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief when her daughter returned to normal: "You scared me to death! I heard you screaming downstairs, and when I ran up, I saw you jumping around and laughing like an idiot."

Hearing her mother's words, Liu Qianqian frowned, her little nose twitching indignantly, "You're the one grinning like an idiot!"

She then broke free from the embrace, pointed to the webpage, and happily put her hands on her hips, saying, "I won! Senior Brother Chen An held a giveaway on Weibo, one hundred signatures, and I participated too! I didn't expect to win!"

The webpage displayed a message from Chen An's account listing one hundred winners.

Comments containing the hashtag "#TheMartian" will enter you into a prize draw!

Because each post is limited to 140 characters, Chen An posted three in a row.

Liu Qianqian's account was in the second post, which made her extremely happy, as she could finally get an autographed copy of "Little Forest"!

Aunt Liu, who understood the reason, rubbed her forehead and couldn't help but want to complain, "I think you've really been bewitched by Chen An!"
