Mtime.com calculated the total box office in Asia, and "Old Boy" won RMB 72.589 million in a week, or US$106.31 million.

At the same time, he gave a slogan that pulled the wind: "Who is the king of Asia? "Old Boy" is indisputable! Breaking 100 million US dollars in the first week. This is a miracle of Chinese movies and belongs to Shao Shuaijun's brilliant crown!"

It's not that Chinese-language movies have won high box office globally. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", "Source Code", "Kung Fu", "Painted Skin", "Red Cliff Up and Down" all created global billions of dollars Good story.

But there is no movie, no Chinese language movie, just in the traditional Asian market, it managed to get more than 100 million US dollars in box office in a week. Even in the total box office in Asia, there are no Chinese-language movies that have broken 100 million U.S. dollars.

Whether it was a Hong Kong movie produced by Oriental Hollywood, a song and dance movie produced by Bollywood in India, or the Hayao Miyazaki era of Japanese animation movies, or a revitalization movie produced by South Korea. The miracle of breaking through 100 million U.S. dollars in Asia in a week has never been achieved.

Here are the credits of Chasing Dream Entertainment’s strong marketing efforts, as well as the timing of simultaneous releases, but the more important thing is the excitement of the movie. Like a sharp arrow, it penetrates into the hearts of all those who have dreams in their hearts, but are helpless to waste the years. No matter when, the theme of dreams and struggle is always the most favored and moved.

"Three years ago, Shao Shuaijun came to Hollywood as the new Asian director king. Three years of experience at the World Cinema Center, failure and success polished together. Three years later, Shao Shuaijun returned to Asia, and he is already a great director who made the whole Asia tremble!" ——Inscription by the characters on the cover of the Asian edition of Time Magazine.

This is the eleventh time that Shao Shuaijun has landed in Time Magazine and his third time on the cover of Time Magazine.

"Painted Skin" became a global hit, and he appeared on the cover of the Asian version of "Time" with the inscription "Shao Shuaijun, and his young movie kingdom". Summit Entertainment went public, and he appeared on the cover of both the Asian and American editions of Time Magazine, with the inscription "Shao Shuaijun and His Movie Kingdom".

Today, the person on the cover of the Asian edition of Time Magazine is the longest inscription to show Shao Shuaijun's unique identity. Global-level tycoons, global-level philanthropists, global-level directors, and even global-level dream spokespersons...

The photo on the cover is a picture of Shao Shuaijun's speech at the New Electrotechnical Research Institute's freshman ceremony. He holds a microphone in one hand and puts the other in his trouser pocket, looking down at the students under the stage, looking down.

The leader of the film industry!

This season, the disaster storm of "2012" has swept the world by 500 million US dollars. Although compared with high investment, it is not enough to make money, it has set off a wave of doomsday. Even many Americans have seen it and thought it was true. Yes, call the government and ask for asylum.

It can be said that Roland Emmerich officially established him as the world's most influential master of disaster film with "2012". On the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he is already qualified to press his fingerprints. The directors who can press their handprints here, if they are not as popular as volcanoes at the box office, or they have created top titles in a category of themes.

For example, Chinese director Wu Yusen can leave his handprints because of his title of master of global film violence aesthetics. In contrast, Li Yu got the Oscar, and still was not qualified to press his fingerprints. Roland's scenery is evident.

However, no matter how beautiful Roland is, no matter how perfect the special effects of "2012", and no matter how real the disaster scene is, it will not stop the green dream storm of "Old Boy", which rages in Asia, and strangles "2012" to death on the battlefield.

"Time" is just one of all well-known magazines that pay attention to Shao Shuaijun, American "National Geographic", "Fortune", "Vanity Fair", "Playboy", "Rolling Stone", "Forbes", "Premiere", France The magazines such as "ELLE", "Paris Competition Pictorial", "Men Gang", "Face", "Wallpaper" in Britain, "Star Weekly" in Germany, "Color" in Italy, etc., all rushed to report on Shao Shuaijun and him New movie.

Newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal in the United States, Yomiuri Shimbun in Japan, The Sun in the United Kingdom, Bild in Germany and Le Monde in France, as well as major global portals, are also crazy about Started Shao Shuaijun and his latest movie "Old Boy".

Originally, "Old Boy" did not have a plan to be released in Europe and the United States, because Shao Shuaijun did not know whether a story about China's grassroots dream would be popular in Europe and the United States. It is expected to spend great efforts on arranging schedules and arranging theaters. By then, there will be no crotches left, so it is better not to be released.

But now a week has passed, and European and American publishers have called one after another, asking for the distribution rights of "Old Boy".

Except for Japan and South Korea, Asia has never been an important ticket warehouse, and there are not many box offices each year.

But it's such a barren land of movies. Suddenly there is a movie that earns 100 million dollars a week. It is not a big Hollywood production. How can it not be surprising and pleasant. With this miraculous statistic as a title, "Old Boy" is just as bad as a pile of shit, and there are many people who want to watch it.

People are curious and want to know what movies foreigners like to watch.

Chasing Dreams Jiahe is busy, and "Old Boy" officially took advantage of this momentum to go global.

...

"Danny, "Slumdog Millionaire" will be painted in a while. Take advantage of the last period of time, and you will show up with a few leading actors in this awards season, and strive for another box office explosion. End it."

"Old Boy" was in theaters, but Shao Shuaijun didn't go out for a whole week, and he almost immersed himself in the script perfection of "Rise of the Apes" and "Teddy Bear". Directing two films at the same time, the pressure can be imagined, if you don't want to mess up, you have to work harder.

It’s December, and it’s Hollywood’s annual awards season, starting with the announcement of the winners by the National Review Board (NBR) on December 3, 2009, and ending at the Oscar Night Awards ceremony on March 7, 2010 , There is a four-month harvest season.

"Stunned" is not expected. It is small and fresh and has no theme. It is simpler than last year's "500 Days with Summer", and the box office is not much better. This awards season is the furthest away from Shao Shuaijun. This year, the highlight of Summit Entertainment was bet on "Slumdog Millionaire".

Winning prizes at the box office is a qualified embodiment of a large company. Now "Slumdog Millionaire" has received a global box office of 300 million U.S. dollars, and it will go down in a month. Shao Shuaijun hopes that director Danny Boyle can lead the protagonists to have more exposure and promote the film , Not only for the box office, but also for awards.

"I hope I can win more awards, otherwise I am sorry Shao you trust me so much." Danny Boyle naturally agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Shao Shuaijun called his casting director Louis Leinard again: "Hey, Louis, how is the casting job done?"

"I have selected most of the roles, and some small supporting roles have been signed. Important supporting roles need you to meet in person, as well as the list of several leading actors provided by you. I visited one by one, and they all agreed to sign. Oh, by the way, forgot to congratulate your new movie on the big hit in Asia. I am in the United States and I can see your news every day. Your charm is so great."

Shao Shuaijun laughed: "I didn't expect the film to respond so well. It was a surprise. By the way, I have planned to fly to the United States the day before Christmas. You will be in charge of the crew for the time being. We will start work after Christmas."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Shao Shuaijun called Mitchell again: "Hi, Mitchell."

"Hi, Shao, did you have a good time in China? Congratulations. "Old Boy" is a big hit in Asia and you have created an incredible miracle. I can't wait to arrange "Old Boy" into the premiere this weekend, hope Can continue the craze in Asia." Mitchell murmured over the phone.

"Don't expect too much, the taste of the movie may not be in line with the American audience." Shao Shuaijun poured him a basin of cold water to cool him down. From the beginning, "Old Boy" didn't get close to the taste of foreign audiences. "Right," Mitchell, how are the copyright negotiations for the superhero?"

"It’s not so smooth. The punisher in Lionsgate’s hands can tell you that our two are old neighbors, and Bob and I are also good buddies. But the 20th century Fox and Sony are a bit difficult to deal with, especially Sony, dead. Don’t let your tongue go, but also extend the copyright of Spider-Man. Listen to them, even if Spider-Man is playing badly, he will not let it go."

"Sony, I remember. How about 20th Century Fox?" Shao Shuaijun nodded.

"How can I put it, they are powerless to superheroes. Except for the X-Men developed in the past few years, almost all other superheroes can't do it..." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better Update faster!)
