Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 721 Who made us a little singer?

On the first day of its release in North America, only 9% of the films were scheduled for "Coco", which was even worse than that in China.

However, on the first day of its release, it earned a box office of 1550 million US dollars, plus yesterday's advance screening of 320 million box office, a total of 1870 million won, successfully occupying the No.1 weekend box office rankings.

Counterattack!

Super strong counterattack!

IMDB 9.0, 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, and extremely high praise online.

"Coco" defeated many films of the same period, live-action commercial films, and animated films with big IPs, all of which were defeated at the feet of "Coco".

……

Fu Collins Film and Television.

The company has only produced one IP movie for a long time, which is the "League of Souls" series.

Each of these characters has an independent film, and some have released several films.

At the end of this year, Folklins brought a super commercial blockbuster "Heroes 2: Homecoming" with an investment of more than 8 million U.S. dollars. After its release last week, it topped the weekend box office list.

However, I didn't expect that after just one week, the box office dropped sharply, and it lost to "Coco", which had only 9% of the film schedule this weekend, and it was still a cartoon!

The content of the American media directly read: The superheroes in "Heroes of Souls 8: Homecoming" are helpless against the little singer of "Coco".

"A great shame!"

Lawrence, the chairman of the board of directors of Folklins, was furious at the meeting on Monday, "How much is my schedule? 25%! How much is the schedule of "Coco"? 9%! Such a huge gap can make them overtake? Why? What is the reason?"

"Boss! "Coco" is really good-looking!"

A manager wiped his sweat, "We can't do anything, the market can't resist, so our box office is not as good as theirs!"

"Does it look good?"

Lawrence smacked his lips, "What do you mean, our movie is not good? That's why we lost to them in the second week?"

"That's not it!"

The manager said, "But we still have hope. I guess they won't be able to do it next week. The new movie will be hot for three days! Oh, this is an old saying from China!"

"I am looking forward!"

Lawrence had a sullen face and squinted his eyes, "But I'm looking forward to my box office even more, to be able to return to the top of the charts next weekend!"

……

Gal Video.

"I didn't expect another popular cartoon to come out. The last time was four years ago!"

"It's a pity that the film ranking is too low! Otherwise, it would definitely exceed this box office!"

"Don't worry! With the formation of "Coco", the film schedule will definitely rise!"

……

Many film and television companies put the focus of discussion on "Coco".

In addition to North America, the Philippines, Croatia, Singapore, and Portugal, which were released on the same day, also achieved good box office results.

Among them, the Philippines won a box office of 479 million US dollars, breaking the historical record of the first-day box office of local animation films.

It grossed 210 million, 170 million, and 110 million dollars in Croatia, Portugal, and Singapore, respectively.

These sesame mung bean-sized countries can win a box office of over one million dollars, which is already quite successful, and it is mostly due to Thanksgiving.

In the United States, there is a small five-day holiday for Thanksgiving every year. This was originally a holiday created by Americans, but as the strength of the United States affected the whole world in the 19th century, many countries also began to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Even in China, although Thanksgiving is not a holiday, it is also regarded as a holiday by the people.

The Thanksgiving schedule has also become a must for Hollywood film circles. Every year, a large number of films are released, comparable to the domestic Spring Festival and National Day.

On the second day, the box office of "Coco" was still strong, and the film schedule also reached 12% on this day.

Because of the time difference, after 12:17 noon in the United States, China on the other side of the ocean also arrived on the [-]th, and "Coco" was released on time at midnight.

Previously, the pre-sale box office of "Coco" only got 230 million RMB. Although this is Li Zhifan's first Hollywood animation film directed and shot, it is not popular because of the low ranking, low pre-sale, and no star dubbing. Domestic venture capital firms are optimistic.

In addition, without investing a lot of publicity, we can only rely on overseas word-of-mouth to attract Chinese people. Therefore, compared with those high-ranking movies and movies with popular celebrities starring real people, the pre-sale has opened up a big gap.

Many media people even said that Li Zhifan's failure this time may appeal to Hollywood, but not to Chinese people, because Hollywood movies are no match for domestic movies, and they have long been unsuitable to Chinese people. With this pre-sale , "Coco" can get a box office of over [-] million, it will be very popular.

Many fans of Li Zhifan were worried and anxious, and tried their best to buy tickets, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

What's more urgent is that on the same day as "Coco" was released together, there was also a domestic animation film "The Door God", which was dubbed by a lot of stars in the circle, and the cost of publicity and distribution exceeded the production cost. 1.5 times!
However, the film schedule of "The Door God" is not very good, it only got 6%, which is lower than "Coco", but the pre-sale is higher than "Coco", it got 621 million!
With this result, the publicity team of "Little Door God" recruited a group of sailors, who were able to brag about themselves and step on "Coco".

Netizens were confused by this publicity, as if "Dream" filmed by Li Zhifan had a good reputation overseas and was really going to hit the streets in China, they all lamented again and again, but they couldn't say anything, because the results were really good. Too low, no way to say ah!

On the first day of its release, "Coco" only earned 1600 million at the box office, which was a big drop compared to the movies that premiered on the same day but had a box office of over [-] million.

However, "The Door God", which has been touted by online sailors, only won 1100 million at the box office at the premiere. Those sailors had already finished their work, and they had already retired, and another batch of sailors came out to make new claims.

The producer and distributor of "Coco" are Oriental Pictures.

The performance this time is good or bad, which is directly related to the stock price of Oriental Pictures.

Although it only got 1600 million box office, the stock price of Oriental Pictures rose by 7% in one day.

This is an income of tens of billions!

Oriental Pictures was overjoyed, and immediately decided to invest more in the domestic promotion of "Coco", negotiated with multiple theaters, expanded the number of theaters to broadcast, and arranged additional films.

On the second day of domestic release, "Coco" finally showed the momentum of a dark horse, winning 4300 million at the box office. At this time, the film schedule has reached 15%, while the film schedule of "The Door God" has dropped to 5.4%, and only got 900 million box office, which is lower than one day.

Many viewers who watched "God of God" jumped out to complain, because the star's voice is too distinctive, so they jump to the scene when they speak, and there is a voice actor who is Taiwanese, with a dull accent, not only the performance is also embarrassing .

On the other hand, "Coco" has almost no complaints, and in terms of dubbing, it was also commented by netizens: it is very comfortable. Compared with "The Door God", the use of professional voice actors is really taller immediately.

However, the result is still only No.3 of the day. There are two live-action movies with more than [-] million yuan in front of it. "Coco" can't compete in a short time.

However, starting on the sixth day of its release, weekends will be ushered in, and the growth of the box office may be even more spectacular.

The results have been achieved in the past two days, and the filming from next week will inevitably increase even more.

……

North America.

"Coco" was released for five days, and won a box office of 9800 million US dollars, winning the box office championship of the Thanksgiving movie. Including overseas box office (including China), it has exceeded 1.2 million.

For Li Zhifan, this is a double blessing, because the digital sales of his EP exceeded 3000 million copies, and he won the first place on multiple platforms and charts. 3 million.

The MVs in this EP are all simple shots. You can shoot several of them in a bar, beach, garage, or villa. There are no surprise designs. Even the MV of "Shape-of-You" was shot directly with a mobile phone. I found Vicke, the largest mobile phone manufacturer in the United States, to cooperate, not only as an endorsement, but also as a song promotion.

Li Zhifan, who had just been free for a few days, started flying around the world again. Today he was still promoting "Coco" on a domestic variety show, and he flew to the United States tomorrow to promote his EP. In the afternoon, he may appear on a certain In the theater, they cheered for "Coco".

tired!really tired!
But it's all worth it.

With such a strong enthusiasm, Li Zhifan's overseas concert has finally finalized the performance company, and [-] companies will follow up and cooperate at the same time, including three in North America, and one in each country after that.

The number of concerts in each country is not fixed. For example, there are three in Australia, in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth. In addition, there are two in New Zealand, which are also held by the company that co-organized the Australian performance.

The solo concerts of Chinese singers overseas are usually small venues with thousands of people, and most of them are ticket increases, and they are also aimed at Chinese students studying abroad. The actual number of people who buy tickets is often no more than 200 people.

Even in the first year of his debut, a certain star claimed to hold his first concert in the United States, but when he checked the scene and saw the slogans and banners on the stage, it was hilarious. Yes, and the logo of the sponsorship of a domestic brand is clearly displayed.

Different from domestic concerts, Li Zhifan cannot sit at home and wait for the performance company to complete the overseas concerts this time. He has to go to many countries in person and accept the review of the Ministry of Culture or relevant departments, including passports. Classes must be handled in advance, and the venue must be visited in advance.

It was Li Zhifan's request to visit the venue. He didn't want to say that it was a gymnasium. He would be ashamed if he was fooled into going there and found out that it was a bar with thousands of people.

This world tour will hold 16 games in North America, ten of which will be in the United States and the other six will be in Canada.

In order to ensure the complete success of Li Zhifan's concert, Hua Na's headquarters has arranged 16 to 2 European and American singers for each of the 3 concerts, most of which are under Hua Na's banner, and they are above the first line.

Some stars participate in every show, such as Ives, in addition to cooperating with Li Zhifan on "Baby", there are other collaborations, such as adapting songs by Li Zhifan or Ives, Li Zhifan's last rap album, just released it , and in Ives's songs, Li Zhifan also played a little bit of English rap, mostly adding the melody of his own songs to Ives' rap songs, calling it Remix.

This is a protracted war, the opponent is not only overseas audiences, but also Li Zhifan himself, full of challenges.

11 month 27 day.

Since the enthusiasm of American audiences for watching movies has been released during the five-day Thanksgiving holiday, the following weekend is destined to be calm.

Filmmakers are also well-versed in this, so there was not a single blockbuster premiere this weekend, and the top ten on the weekend box office list were all old faces, and only the top three scored more than [-] million US dollars.

"Coco" earned $3011 million in its second weekend of release, unsurprisingly staying at the top of the box office list.

Compared with its opening weekend, its box office fell by only 48.6%. Compared with last year's "Grateful File" champion, which fell by 50% in the same period, "Coco" showed more stamina.

In the 12 days since its release, "Coco" has earned US$1.587 million in North America, and its global box office has reached US$2.21 million. Among them, the Chinese mainland market is the most prominent.

Since its first weekend in mainland China, its box office has risen instead of falling, and the increase has been as high as 148%. The scale of screenings has also expanded to 2000 theaters across the country. The highest box office of cartoons in mainland China is still one billion short.

On the same day, Li Zhifan, Huana International Headquarters, and Huana Greater China Headquarters jointly announced that Li Zhifan's "LI" world tour concert will start in December and start in the New Year's Eve.

After the news came out, domestic netizens were shocked!

plum!Zhi!Where!end!At!want!open!play!Sing!meeting!up!

Many fans rushed to tell each other with tears in their eyes, and even passers-by sighed with emotion. This lifetime series has finally achieved one item.

But when the list of cities for the concert was announced, the Chinese people were dumbfounded again!

The first 30 games are all abroad, and the 33 domestic games will not start until April.

When Li Zhifan talked with Hua Na earlier, the first concert was originally scheduled to be held in Beijing on April 4.

Now that the scope of the concert has been expanded and re-enacted, the first stop has become Inglewood in Los Angeles, USA.

Looking at the first English word on the announced list - Inglewood, Chinese netizens wondered for a while, and only after translating did they suddenly realize, how could it be in a foreign country?How is it such a place that no one has heard of?

Li Zhifan also publicly explained on his personal fast blog that domestic concert venues and schedules are too difficult, and there are no good venues and suitable times before April, while overseas concert venues are easier to apply for, after all he The applicants are all small venues with around 4 people.

At the end of the article, Li Zhifan also posted a dog-head emoji, and added a sentence: Who made us a little singer?
