Perfect Life

Vol 5 Chapter 49: There are still some regrets

The news that "The Matrix" broke 100 million at the box office on the first day of its release occupied the headlines of more than 90% of the media in China on the second day!

All other movies currently being shown together, the box office achieved on that day was only more than 50 million - "The Matrix" dominated 66.1% of the country's total box office that day!

53% of the film arrangement ratio, 66% of the box office ratio!

At this time, all the media went crazy.

This achievement is an absolute record for Chinese films and the Chinese film market, and of course it deserves a lot of attention from various media.

Overnight, "The Matrix" stood at the top of Chinese film history.

At this time, there is even a faint light flickering on it!

All looked up to it.

Look up to the amazing box office record it has created!

"Blood", "Laughing Heroes", and "The Princes of Beacon Fire", at this time, seem to have become so worthless! In addition to when the media needs to compare them with "The Matrix", they, which were still occupying an important position in the major media last week, almost disappeared overnight.

At the box office of the day, they basically presented a collective diving gesture!

However, it is clear that this is only the beginning.

In the afternoon, the box office in North America closed, and the real-time box office situation there was not transmitted to the Chinese media so quickly, but Minghu Culture got the rough data from the publisher at the first time.

On the first day of its release in North America, on Saturday, including the early stage at midnight last night, "The Matrix" received a total of 23.53 million US dollars at the box office in more than 2,200 theaters in North America!

In the box office that has been counted so far, it won the champion of the box office list of the day!

When the news came out, including the top officials of Minghu Culture and the two teams headed by Zhou Baoshan and He Yingyu, who were conducting publicity in other places, all those who knew the news cheered.

On July 22, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday, the official website of Minghu Culture officially launched a banner promotion - warmly congratulate "The Matrix" on its first day of simultaneous global release with a box office of over 100 million US dollars!

When I first saw this title, many people were startled. Many people's first reaction was to question its authenticity, suspecting that Minghu Culture was looking for gimmicks and publicity.

But when I opened it, everyone was speechless.

The above clearly lists the release of Minghu Culture in various box office markets around the world on July 21, and the single box office on that day!

The three major box office heavyweights, China, North America and Japan, together, have reached as high as 86 million US dollars!

In fact, adding up the global market, just on July 21st, just a rough statistic, the global box office of "The Matrix" is 116.25 million US dollars!

The nation was shocked.

In fact, even Li Qian's most die-hard fans will be stunned and unbelievable when they see this data!

Because in the past, no Chinese film has ever achieved very good global box office results, so in fact, whether Chinese filmmakers or the media, the statistics of global box office results are at best based on the surrounding units-in fact, even if Just the domestic box office statistics, the concept of single-day box office has just become popular every two years. Because in the past, the first is data collection and statistics, it is not so convenient.

And now, Minghu Culture is the first to make a single-day global box office data for a movie!

And such amazing data!

After receiving this data, many media began to collect data from the past in a panic, trying to analyze the data of famous Hollywood blockbusters that were sold all over the world in the past, and tried to come up with similar data the next day. Compared.

However, the work of the editors and reporters has not been completed. At midnight, the Sunday box office in China has come out again - "The Matrix" continued to cut a single-day box office of 83.26 million on the second day of its release!

This means that "The Matrix" was released for two days, with a box office of 186.62 million in the first week!

As a result, on the next day's Chinese media, this box office figure once again made the front page headlines of more than 95% of the media!

"The Matrix" is red to purple!

Many media have written articles that: The box office of all domestic films in the past was not the goal of "The Matrix", but "The Gate of Life and Death" should be its goal!

And then, the film's first week of box office in North America was officially released.

…………

clap clap clap!

There was a knock on the door, and Grenshire looked up and said, "Come in!"

John Days pushed the door in.

Grenshire had turned his back to the door of the office and was leaning on his desk to look out the window. At this time, he heard the voice and looked back. He quickly turned around and greeted him with a smile.

"Hi, John!"

"Hey Glenn!"

The two shook hands.

John Days said: "I heard that the batch of clothing shipped from China is already in place?"

Grenshire smiled and pretended to be unhappy: "Hey, John, around those trench coats, it's our business! Columbia is doing it!"

John Days smiled, "Of course! Of course! I'm just asking, after all, we're partners on the release of this film, aren't we? There are countless people wearing that trench coat all over the street, and that's the best free publicity, isn't it?"

After a pause, he emphasized: "I'm concerned about the box office!"

Glenshire smiled, "Yes, the box office! We all pay attention to the box office!"

That being said, in fact, some things are related to commercial secrets. Although the same boss stands behind Oriental Dream Film Company and Columbia Film Company, he will not reveal the slightest. That is, on the first day of listing, the batch of trench coats made and shipped from China has sold more than 30,000 pieces!

It is beautifully made and made of exquisite materials. It is said that it is copied from the original design of Neo's clothes in the movie, but it is not a brand of goods, but it can be sold at the price of mid-range fashion!

Selling for a whopping $588 a piece!

But still more than 30,000 pieces were sold in one day!

Sunglasses priced at $98 have sold more than 100,000 pieces!

This is just the beginning!

With the experience of the past years, Grenshire can clearly feel that the power of "The Matrix" has just begun to be released, and this achievement is far from its peak.

During the conversation, I asked John Days to sit down, but Grenshire couldn't help but turn around and pick up the report again, glanced at it, and smiled - it was the first-week box office result of "The Matrix" in North America.

The first day of release was 23.53 million US dollars, and the next day was 27.04 million US dollars!

"The Matrix", which won $50.57 million at the box office in its first week, does not have an absolute advantage. After all, it has only been released for two days, and it doesn't even feel like it has exploded completely, but it has already taken the lead by more than $6 million. Second place, sitting on the top of the North American box office charts!

This is of course his own boss, China Li, who won the first weekly box office champion in North America!

For the publisher Colombia, this will become a glittering sign in the future, but more importantly, if the film can be as popular as it expected, it will bring huge cash flow and huge cash flow to Colombia. Pure profit!

The secretary came in and brought John Dyce a cup of coffee.

Grenshire also sat down and said with a smile, "Actually, Qian created a miracle again, didn't he?"

John Days laughed, holding his coffee mug. "No, Glenn, it's not a miracle!"

He laughed: "For our Chinese boss, this is a normal thing!"

Grenshire couldn't help laughing.

However, I don't know if he thought too much when he was distracted just now. At this time, he was far less excited than John Dyth. He heard the words and just smiled and said: "However, it actually has many congenital defects. We all know that, don't we?"

John Days shrugged, "Of course! Yes, birth defects!"

But after a pause, he said again: "His male and female protagonists are indeed born with defects! If they were replaced by a pair of American actors...you know~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Before this movie started, I I once expressed my suggestion to Qian for this, and the attitude was extremely fierce, but the boss insisted on his decision!"

Grenshire nodded.

In fact, he feels that with the popularity of the film in the past two days, the sales of 30,000 windbreakers seem to be somewhat lacking in strength and popularity-if it can sell more than 50,000 pieces, That couldn't be better!

where is the problem?

The actor of the male lead Neo is an oriental face, which is of course the crux of the problem in his view.

In North America, an oriental face is naturally less popular and sought after than a white man. This is a reality that no one can change!

If the male and female protagonists of "The Matrix", or even just the male protagonist, were replaced by a handsome American actor, Grenshire believes that its current popularity in North America will immediately rise by a whole level!

If so, the box office of this first week is afraid that it will not be able to hold 60 million US dollars. After all, the audience's reputation and evaluation of the movie is so excellent!

Of course, it is even more commendable to be able to get a box office of up to 50 million US dollars in two days of release under such a huge congenital defect!

It's just that as a distributor, he believes that the potential of this movie should be more than that, so there will be some regrets and some dissatisfaction.

At this time, after thinking about it, Grenshire said: "It is precisely because of Qian's decision that the box office we won in North America is not even as good as the box office this movie won in China... This is really..."

John Dyess laughed.

"Glen, you've been to China, so I don't think you should say something like that!"

Grenshire looked at him in surprise.
