While Li He was busy with studio expansion and new projects, "Genius Gunman" was first released on Taiwan Island and Hong Kong Island.On Friday, November 9, 3.23 million Hong Kong dollars were obtained on Hong Kong Island and 8.69 million New Taiwan dollars were obtained on Taiwan Island.The spread of word-of-mouth on Saturday, coupled with the month-long screening in the mainland, has also heard of the sensation caused by this film in the mainland.Driven by curiosity, the box office exploded on this day, winning 9.21 million Hong Kong dollars and 13.895 million New Taiwan dollars respectively, topping the box office champions of the two places.In the end, the market capacity is limited, and no matter how high the box office growth is, it can't be high, and the decline of Hong Kong Island movies is also related to this.Back then, Hong Kong Island was known as the Hollywood of the East, and in the eighties and nineties, it was comparable to Hollywood.Unfortunately, the limited market capacity, coupled with the complacency of Hong Kong Island filmmakers, gradually declined in the late 90s.Even if there is a pinnacle work of Hong Kong films like "Infernal Affairs", it will not be able to save the entire market.Film culture needs to be cultivated, and the movie-watching atmosphere also needs to be cultivated, after decades of development, the market capacity of Chinese films has finally begun to expand, and it is finally about to usher in a harvest period today.At the end of the nineties, the number of cinemas in the country was less than 1,000 and the number of screens was less than 2,000, while in 2012, there were already 3,680 cinemas in the country, and the number of screens reached 13,118.However, at this time, the world's largest film market is still North America, followed by RB.Just as the Chinese economy will surpass RB, the Chinese film market will eventually surpass RB.On November 16, "Genius Gunman", which was released for ten days in Hong Kong and Taiwan, landed in RB theaters, which also caused a small response.Exams are a topic that cannot be avoided in Asian cultural circles, and most countries in Asia have a strict examination system, and everything is decided by scores.Your grades directly determine your seat in the class, your image in the teacher's mind, your current interests and future class.In a tight environment, cheating is the only shortcut.These undoubtedly resonate in people's hearts, especially in a country where the gap between rich and poor is huge, and the class is obvious.It won a box office of $8.96 million on the day of its release, and a box office of $13.418 million on Saturday (overseas box offices are calculated in US dollars, which is convenient), and a box office of $31.69 million in three days of release, about more than 200 million yuan.RB Asahi Shimbun commented with the headline "Box Office Dark Horse Strikes, 'Genius Gunman' Airborne RB".As soon as the work "Genius Gunman" by an outstanding young director from China was released, it immediately triggered a movie-watching frenzy in RB.This film has a strong temperament, taking into account both business and art, and the film uses cheating as the theme and has a unique expression.What's even more rare is that the film also reflects the thinking about the gap between the rich and the poor in society, and questions the education system......
"RBNHK TV also introduced this movie, saying that "Genius Gunman" is a movie that can bring reflection to the RB people, and I recommend everyone to watch it.Not only in RB, but also in Southeast Asia, the release of "Genius Gunman" has also caused a frenzy of movie-watching.Especially in Thailand, you should know that Thai cinemas will have half an hour of advertising time before the screening.At the beginning of the release of "Genius Gunman", no audience temporarily left the scene during the advertising time before the start, for fear of missing a shot.And after the movie, many movie theaters applauded thunderously and endured."
Genius Gunman" also lived up to expectations, successfully breaking the box office record for the premiere of a Chinese-language film in Thailand.In fact, this film was made by a Thai director in his previous life, although Li He made some changes, but it still did not affect the explosion of the film in Thailand.It is said that there is a 'young Thai director' who wants to buy the remake rights from Penguin Pictures to shoot the Thai version of "Genius Gunman", and the name is ready, it will be called "Bad Genius".In the end, he found DreamWorks and Li He and won the remake rights at a price of $2 million.Lee Hyuk was not surprised by the good results achieved by "Talented Gunslinger" in Thailand, but it was not surprising that RB and South Korea were surprised.One is too high, it was originally expected that the RB market would be more than 100 million at most, but I didn't expect the box office to soar out of more than 200 million in three days on the first weekend.According to Penguin Pictures' distribution department, the film will eventually be able to earn more than 400 million at the box office in RB.The other is too low, and Koreans don't seem to be interested in this movie at all, and it only made $620,000 at the box office in the first three days of the weekend, which can be said to be very popular.Lee Hyuk thought to himself, can't it be out of the inexplicable pride of the Korean nation again?
The rating on the Korean movie website is also very low, only 6.2 points, you must know that "Genius Gunman" has a score of 8.2 on IMDB, and Douban has maintained a score of more than 8.4.Anyway, the Korean brain circuit Li He can't figure it out, so he simply doesn't bother with it.And although the overseas box office of "Genius Gunman" is high, the account sharing ratio is only 13.5%, and according to the distribution contract, it will be shared with Penguin Pictures, and I am afraid that there will not be many of them.The continued popularity of "Genius Gunman" in Asia has excited the domestic media, and few Chinese-language films have caused such a big whirlwind in Asia.The post-90s director and post-90s starring, low-cost investment, previously mired in plagiarism scandals, with a box office of more than 400 million, and a cumulative overseas box office of 380 million, etc., are all news that attract the attention of the public.In particular, Li He's excellent image has attracted many fans for him, many female fans licked the screen wildly on his interview show, and some fans petitioned Li He to appear in movies or TV series.Baidu search star list first, although Li He is a director, in the super talk ranking that has just been launched on Weibo, Li He successfully surpassed Deng Lun, who became popular with "Genius Gunman", ranking second, the first is Zhang Han who starred in "Let's Watch Meteor Shower".Gossip Weekly put the name of the idol director on Li He's head, and he was actually recognized by fans, Li He could only sigh and say: Appearance is justice......
As for the fact that Li He has a girlfriend, it was ignored by the fans gorgeously, Tang Qianqian was in the fan group every day, watching Li He's fans' speeches, laughing happily, she had become the leader of the fan group.With such great success, fame, honor, interests, and status followed.Li He received all kinds of drinking parties and party invitations, but Li He pushed off most of them at the suggestion of Yang Xuewu, and only participated in the cocktail party of Cheng Zhiwen, president of Penguin Pictures, and made a familiar face in front of the executives of Penguin Pictures.He also participated in parties such as Bona Film and Light Pictures, and inevitably ran into representatives of film companies who wanted to recruit him.But Li He has signed a contract with Penguin Pictures for five films, and he politely refused these olive branches, and Penguin Pictures will deal with the other party's investment in his films.This is the advantage of relying on a large company, any trouble is borne by a large company, as long as Li He Energy continues to bring benefits, Penguin Pictures, the beneficiary, will naturally protect each other desperately for the food in his bowl.Just when Li He was busy attending social events and interviews to expand his network, he received an unexpected invitation."
Huang Xiaoming, he invited me to the party?"
Li He couldn't believe it."
Yes, that's right."
Yang Xuewu looked affirmative, and Tang Qianqian looked at Li He and covered her mouth and snickered."
Isn't it!
I don't seem to know him, do I?
”Li He looked at the invitation in his hand.Yang Xuewu handed Li He a newspaper and said, "It is probably for your new project." ”"New project?"
Li He took over the newspaper, which was reported by the "Beijing Youth Daily".That was the interview report he accepted two days ago, Li He didn't want to accept it, the other party found Wang Xuanqing in a relationship, and because of the old man's face, Li He had no choice but to accept the interview.The report mentioned Li He's new project, the movie is named Seven Deadly Sins, a thriller and suspense film, in order to build momentum for the film, Li He revealed a little content.Huang Xiaoming became interested when he saw this, and coupled with the fact that the other party has deep connections in the entertainment industry, it is estimated that he got some rumors from within Penguin Pictures.No matter what the other party's purpose is, let's go first!
With such a purpose, Li He and Tang Qianqian accepted Huang Xiaoming's party invitation together.
