Chapter 804 The King of Movies
The New Year's Lantern Festival has just passed, and people have just breathed a sigh of relief.It was at this time that people discovered that the movie "Havoc in Heaven" was still being released around the world silently, and the box office has quietly accumulated more than one billion US dollars in more than two months.And, with some blockbusters dropping, the film quickly expanded its theatrical numbers with a remarkably high box-office ratio.

The people from the six major movie theater companies in Hollywood can’t sit still anymore. Yes, they can control their own theater chains, but the world’s theater chains are not owned by the six of them. The movie theater owners who arranged for you to arrange the movie theaters immediately discovered that "Havoc in Heaven" is an increasingly popular Chinese-language movie, so, without hesitation, many foreign movie theaters abandoned the negotiated "Jurassic" and so on. , began to throw an olive branch towards this Chinese film.

When people flocked to movie theaters, the box office experienced an extremely abnormal explosive rebound. The film actually exploded at an unimaginably high rate between the end of April and May.

That outbreak was absolutely unimaginable, and it lasted for at least half a month.In just these half a month, at least [-] million US dollars were plundered around the world.The frightening thing is that this film, which was released a month earlier than "Jurassic Park", was released even later.

Enter the summer vacation file from June.Another wave of appreciation for the film was set off around the world, which lasted for one month and once again robbed [-] million US dollars for the film.

It was not until the end of August that the film was released after 150 days of release. It became the longest-running film in the world in one fell swoop. The box office results were astonishingly behind "Jurassic Park", and the global total box office reached an unprecedented record. 20 billion dollars.

According to the follow-up survey conducted by the Moying Planning Department around the world, as well as all aspects of the film, the average attendance rate of this film is 80.00% except for the two outbreak periods70.00.At the lowest point, it was never lower than [-]%. I can't complain that I can still maintain a high-speed box office growth in the face of strong opponents.

What's even more frightening is that according to the survey, this film has a very high repeat rate, at least 90.00% of people have watched it more than twice, and almost 30.00% have watched it more than four times. No wonder it can get such a high box office.

Hong Kong, with a population of less than 600 million, has seen as many as 1000 million moviegoers, and its cumulative box office has reached nearly [-] million.It also broke historical records in the mainland, with a box office record as high as [-] million.In the United States, it is even more frantic to break historical records such as "Star Wars", reaching an astonishing [-] million people.

MGM and other Hollywood film companies screamed that it was impossible, but through the calculation of the data, they knew very well that all of this was extremely real.It is obvious that such a high return rate of this film can definitely bring a very strong box office.

The most important thing is that this film and "Jurassic Park" go to another extreme, one vulgar and one elegant.One relies on sci-fi elements and simulated dinosaurs to win; the other relies on plot and absolutely classic special effects scenes to win.And, don't forget, the action scenes in this movie can definitely make anyone scream, and no one in the world has any negative criticisms about the action scenes in the movie.

While such a number shocked the whole world, it also shocked Chen Xiaotang incomparably.He originally thought that the performance of "Jurassic Park" in his previous life was an insurmountable height, but he did not expect that the new world record would be set by him, and he would keep this terrible record for the next 30 years.

What scares MGM and other Hollywood film companies the most is that, relying on this movie that has created an insurmountable box office height, the movie has earned about 30.00% of the profits just by showing and distributing it. More than [-] million US dollars.And MGM has such a huge empire, it doesn't even make a billion-dollar profit in a year.

And don't forget the videotapes and peripheral products and TV broadcast fees. In five years, these three profit methods have created at least 15 billion US dollars in profits.It is no exaggeration to say that Specter created an incomparable golden rooster...

However, Comrade Spielberg was not so lucky. "Jurassic Park" invested a total of hundreds of millions of dollars, and MGM teamed up with five film companies to promote his work, hoping to let him rely on this play to be on the stage. However, he has a lot of trust in him. Although the box office of the movie broke his personal best record and also broke the records of all previous Hollywood science fiction films, but in Chen Xiaotang's " Under the heavy pressure of "Havoc in Heaven", he still can only be a "little three" in obscurity --- there are two people on his head, one is Chen Xiaotang, and the other is the bearded Lucas who helped Chen Xiaotang ascend to the world movie throne !However, the film share of my own film --- nearly 1000 million US dollars in rewards, which barely relieved Spielberg's depression.

Compared with Spielberg's depression, the six major Hollywood film companies headed by MGM are a bit bitter and sad.

It's unreasonable for six people to beat one person together and still not be able to beat him, but he is beaten all over the place.
God, is the old man blind?Why do so many of us get overwhelmed? !
Could it be that Lafei Chen is really the son of destiny?Really the King of Movies? !How could he not be killed by lightning strikes? !
Just when these Hollywood bigwigs were extremely depressed, the 3D magical Chinese blockbuster "Havoc in Heaven" became one of the teaching materials for film schools around the world to teach students how to control the balance between business and literature, and the most praised The use of special effects lens technology, especially the underwater 3D shooting of "The Monkey King Goes to the Dragon Palace to Borrow the Golden Cudgel", has been called an unsurpassable classic by filmmakers many times.

You know, there are three major difficulties in 3D technology, which are the most difficult to shoot, namely animals, children and water.Because these things cannot be controlled by humans, there are very strong uncertain factors. Even if the special effects shooting of animals in "Fantasy Boy Drifting" directed by Ang Lee in the future, and the "Dragon King" directed by Xu Ke The depiction and writing of water battles are only in the process of exploration, rather than maturity and perfection.

That is to say, in this congenitally defective situation, Chen Xiaotang relied on his excellent director skills to become the No.1 person who dared to challenge underwater 3D technology. In the past 20 years, countless people have imitated and studied, but no one has been able to surpass Chen Xiaotang's technique. In other words, Chen Xiaotang has directly led the trend for 20 years and has become the unique Dugu Qiubai in this respect!
Of course, all this is still a matter of later.After the film was released, Chen Xiaotang felt as if his inspiration had been emptied by the film. He thought that if he didn't want to make a film, it would take at least half a year to recover.

Just three months after "Havoc in Heaven" was released, the film directed by Chen Xiaotang won the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Bell Award in Hong Kong and Taiwan respectively, and also won the Golden Rooster Award in mainland China, which is very rare. The three major awards in the Chinese film industry were swept away.In the Chinese film industry, it has completely achieved unprecedented success.

For being able to win awards in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Chen Xiaotang has long been prepared in his heart. After all, these are the bases he has operated for many years. There are many factors, such as his fan club, his close relationship with Hong Kong and Taiwan Film Associations, etc. All of these can influence your own award.Of course, the premise is that the quality of the movies you shoot must be excellent, so that people can't find faults.Undoubtedly, this "Havoc in Heaven" has achieved this.Even Shao Daheng, the Shaw Brothers, praised this film unceasingly. You must know that his old man is an uncompromising person in the Hong Kong film industry. To be able to get his praise and affirmation shows that the quality of this film is definitely just right!

However, this film won the Golden Rooster Award in the mainland, which made Chen Xiaotang a little confused. It seemed that his relationship with the mainland film industry was not very close, except for investing in the construction of a movie theater.But soon, the mainland explained Chen Xiaotang's confusion. It turned out that the reason why people gave awards to this drama was entirely because of the superb acting skills of the Six Little Soul Boys.Don't forget, this gentleman was born in the monkey king's family, and his late father was received by the Prime Minister, and even took a photo with him in his arms. This kind of honor is very rare.Now relying on this drama can be regarded as revitalizing the reputation of the family, and at the same time it can be regarded as winning glory for the country.Of course, Chen Xiaotang's special status also played a role in this. The mainland's willingness to award such an important, socially and politically significant award to the drama "Havoc in Heaven" also shows that the mainland is facing the challenge of Chen Xiaotang. Celebrities value.The meaning is self-evident.

Since the award was presented, let's accept it unceremoniously for self-help. This is Chen Xiaotang's idea, so it also guarantees that the movie Moying will become a well-deserved three consecutive Chinese language awards in one fell swoop.

At the same time, good news keeps coming. Chen Xiaotang has received an invitation from the Cannes Film Festival in France. His film has been shortlisted in Cannes and selected as the best foreign language film unit. Chen Xiaotang will use this film to compete for the best director and the best Good actor.

Chen Xiaotang didn't have much ambition to win the Palme d'Or in Cannes, but he really hoped that this film could help the Chinese create a Cannes best actor.You know, in the previous life, the first Chinese actor in Cannes was Uncle Ge. He broke out with "To Live" and became the pride of the Chinese film industry.This time, Chen Xiaotang hoped to advance this kind of honor and pride, so he readily accepted the invitation from Cannes, saying that he would definitely support himself when the time comes.

Chen Xiaotang's promise made the organizers of the French Cannes Film Festival ecstatic.You must know that Chen Xiaotang's current status is absolutely extraordinary, and being able to invite him to cheer is definitely a huge profit.
