You don't understand the happiness of the director

Although the mainland's "Inception" did not follow the magical box office curve of surpassing the first weekend in the second weekend, it was not bad, with a revenue of 330 million in the second week and a cumulative box office of 630 million!

The record of 600 million has been taken, and 700 million is already within range.

The summer season is at its peak in China, and there is not only "Inception" on the market. There are also the just-released "Overheard" and "McDull", followed by Wang Jing's "Ouchi Secret Agent" "Dog" will also be released in theaters. Mishi even participated in the investment in this film.

Although these movies cannot pose a threat to "Inception", they have also become the next best choice for audiences after they cannot see the 3D version.

After Inception heated up the market, it was both a threat and an opportunity for these movies. For example, Bona focused on Wu Yan's group. Because A Zu made a cameo appearance in Inception, he was promoted to be the star of "The Overheard". A treat.

For "Inception", everyone thinks about watching IMAX with IMAX and watching 3D without IMAX. They can make do with other movies, but they don't want to make do with Inception. They just want to watch the best.

Alang is such a young man who doesn't want to make do with it. He tightens screws in Shunde, but he is not an ordinary wage earner. He is a wage earner with a dream. He is different from those who rush to the street in the factory. In the factory, they are all discussing When it comes to which sister is easy to hook up with, Alang is thinking about the charm of light and shadow in movies. Unfortunately, his colleagues in the factory have nothing in common.

They simply don’t understand why they spend dozens of dollars to watch a movie. Can’t they all watch it online? They don’t even understand why he took time off to go to the East Hall to watch IMAX “Inception.”

As for why it is the East Building, because the IMAX giant screen closest to Shunde is at Wanda East Building. This is also Wanda’s first IMAX giant screen, and the other one is in Dalian.

Although the travel expenses are quite expensive, although the ticket price will not be less than 150, although I have to go back and forth on the same day and travel all the way, my spirit will definitely be sublimated!

Alang chose to act on Monday because it is easy to grab tickets. Now you have to queue up if you want to see IMAX. The war between ordinary viewers and scalpers is very fierce. I heard that movie tickets for 1,500 yuan a piece have appeared, but Alang bought it. The tickets will definitely not be sold later, this is my ideal!

Because he queued up early, Alang bought the most central seat. Although it was only a daytime venue, it was still as expensive as 200 yuan!

"Young man, I came here from Omen on a special trip. Can you give me your ticket? I can pay double the amount."

A Lang said, "It's not for sale. I came all the way from out of town to see it, and Xiangjiang Jiahe Pictures also has IMAX. Why come to the East Building?"

"Of course it's because of the girls here. They're so enthusiastic. Otherwise, how about I pay 500 yuan and give me this ticket?"

"I queued for several hours for this ticket, not counting the time I spent traveling from abroad. Do you think my few hours are worth 500 yuan! I am not a scalper."

"Then I'll pay you 1,000 yuan!" the middle-aged man said again.

Alang shook his head firmly.

"2,000 yuan, handsome boy, we really can't pay more." The middle-aged man was a little anxious.

"Boss, two thousand for me..." At this moment, a man holding a ticket suddenly appeared next to him.

Alang immediately handed over the ticket to the other party, "Deal, because you also like movies."

2000 yuan! How many screws do you have to tighten to earn money?

And I haven't given up my belief in movies, but with these two thousand yuan I can wait in line again, and even stay in a hotel at night, and go back to work at the factory calmly tomorrow, and it only costs a few dollars to take an extra day off.

After settling the account, Alang flexed a bit. As soon as he got the money and paid off all the outstanding goods, secret reporters rushed out.

"Mr. Scalper, you just set a new high for mainland scalpers of "Inception" with a price of 2,000 yuan. Is there anything you want to say to our "Entertainment Already Known" audience?"

The honest young man Alang suddenly panicked and covered his face, "I'm not a scalper, please stop shooting me! I'm not!"

"Okay, sir, who is not a scalper, do you have anything to say about selling a movie ticket for so much money?"

"No, I lined up based on my ability. Oh, stop taking pictures!" Alang was chased by the camera and ran around with his head in his hands, and finally escaped the crazy reporters.

He hid in the dark and felt that the reporter could no longer be seen, so he showed up. First he bought some bread and mineral water, and then continued to line up. The line was already very long.

In just a short time, the morning and afternoon tickets have been sold out, and you can only buy the evening tickets, because "Inception" is 151 minutes long, so even if the movie theater opens early and closes late, one IMAX theater can fill up in one day. Queue 5 games.

5 shows is a more reasonable arrangement, because there is still time to leave and enter the venue, including the time for advertisements, but Wanda East Branch has arranged 6 shows!

You can enter the venue from 8 o'clock, and it's past 1 o'clock in the morning after watching the last show. The manager said that it makes money. Opening one more show will bring in nearly 100,000 more box office, and the hard work of the employees is nothing.

When it was Alang's turn, only the corner position in the penultimate game and the good position in the last game were left. He decisively chose the last game, and after watching it, he directly booked a room in the hotel next to him, feeling happy.

After getting the ticket, he had a good meal outside Wanda and rewarded himself with Shaxian. After eating and drinking, he waited to watch the movie and show off to netizens.

After entering the venue with 3D glasses, Alang found his seat. He was lucky. There were girls on the left and right, with a scent that was different from the factory girls.

The movie started, and Alang kept marveling. It really lived up to his expectations. Sure enough...

Sudden!

The screen darkened, and Alang wondered if the protagonist had woken up from his dream.

It stayed dark for a minute, Alang: Why haven't you woke up yet? Is this the style? Yes, Director Wang must have had his own intention in shooting like this!

At this time, a staff member came in and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, there is a problem with the movie playback. Our equipment is burned out and we can't play it today."

"What, say another one!"

Everyone here paid a high price to watch a movie, so you waited until eleven o'clock and you actually said you couldn't watch it!

The staff felt aggrieved. It wasn't the manager who blamed the machine for not giving the machine time to rest. It must have been a mess. "I'm really sorry. We can refund everyone's money!"

"We don't want our money back, we want to watch the movie!"

"That's right, can you afford to pay for our time!"

The staff said, "Otherwise, we will hold a 3D show for everyone to watch later, and we will provide some compensation. Do you think this is okay?"

"Do you still want to watch 3D here? What we want to watch is IMAX!"

"Yes, show us IMAX!"

"Get your manager here!"

The staff had no choice but to call the manager over.

The manager came, clicked, and knelt directly in front of the audience, "I'm really sorry for everyone. This time it was our negligence in work that affected everyone's mood. We promise a full refund and a free movie coupon. "

Ah Lang, "Can you exchange it for a ticket for tomorrow morning?"

"We cannot guarantee this because the machine is faulty and we need to hire technicians from the South China region to repair it. We really can't say when it will be repaired."

"To the north!" Another spectator expressed their anger.

The manager who had just stood up knelt down again to apologize, finally calming everyone's anger and agreeing on a compensation plan.

The reporter who interviewed Alang during the day heard the news and ran over again. The next day, a hot news piece came out.

After this incident, the audience respected IMAX even more, causing the box office of this kind of show to go up and up. The owners of other theaters regretted it. At first, they thought the renovation was laborious, but now they feel that a "Inception" can recoup the cost of the renovation. Got it!

They also immediately began to contact IMAX Company to introduce this kind of giant screen. Domestic screen companies are also preparing to develop their own domestic giant screen system. However, it is easy to install but difficult to modify the theater. They are afraid that they will not be able to reap the dividends from "Inception" .

The domestic box office has been growing by leaps and bounds, while abroad, after the second week, the North American box office of "Inception" reached US$230 million, and as expected, it continued to top the weekly charts. The decline was well controlled, and the momentum was so fierce that it made people cry. The movie has arrived!

There is almost no suspense. It will definitely exceed 300 million in another week, and will eventually exceed the best record before King Power. The 385 million in North America for "The Twilight Saga" is not difficult to achieve.

As for the global box office, whether it is Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Brazil and Mexico in Latin America, Australia, Australia and New Zealand in Oceania, Japan and South Korea in Asia, as well as Hong Kong, Bay and other regions, almost all have broken the personal record set by "Twilight 3" before King Power. Some of the best local results took two weeks, and some even took just one week!

In Hong Kong, the previous annual box office champion was "Transformers 2" with 48 million Hong Kong dollars, and "Inception" surpassed it in just six days. Now "Inception" has a Hong Kong box office of 62 million, surpassing "Inception" with a box office of HK$62 million. "Logie Park" is second only to "Titanic" with a box office of 100 million, but it is already within range.

In Wanwan, "Inception" has just surpassed "Cape 7" with NT$530 million, ranking second in film history. The first place is "Titanic" with NT$800 million.

In most countries and regions, the box office champion in film history is controlled by this big ship. The mainland was broken relatively early. King Power did it with "Twilight 3", and now "Inception" has almost doubled it. , of course, Wang Quan always said that this is because the mainland market is becoming more and more mature and prosperous.

At the box office, die-hard fans of King Power are once again excited. As long as you have eyes and are not blind, you can see that "Inception" is a commercial film that has hit the global box office, and it is also an art with an almost flawless reputation. Taste!

Not only Chinese people like it, but foreigners also like it. I heard that foreigners have begun to study the masterpiece "Zhuangzi". This is definitely the most effective cultural export after the Beijing Olympics.

Director Wang, no, please call him Director Quan, he needs to be distinguished from Wang Jing and Wang Jiawei, he is unique!

Director Quan has used his strength to gain the love and respect of people all over the country and around the world. Even Kimchi Country has begun to study the possibility that King Quan is from Kimchi Country.

Qiankun staff Han Yan Muyu Zui Nianhua once again launched a formal box office forecast in the bar, starting with 1 billion, then 11, 12, 13, all the way to 2 billion and above.

In the end, more than 3,000 fans participated in the voting, and 30% of them believed that the box office of "Inception" would be fixed at 1.3 billion. The second most popular choice was 1.2 billion, with 21% of the fans.

These two options account for half of the people. Most people think that the box office of Inception will be three times the current box office record, just like "Titanic" more than tripled the record back then, so 12.3 billion is More reasonable.

This is a lot better than the initially generally expected box office of 7-800 million, and there has been some recent news that is not conducive to "Inception".

First of all, the high-scoring animation "Up", which was very popular abroad some time ago, has been confirmed to be introduced to the mainland. It is scheduled to be released on August 4, which is next week, and the movie is also available in 3D format.

Secondly, Long Toutou’s August summer hit “World War Z” is confirmed to be introduced to the Mainland, and this will also be the first zombie movie introduced to the Mainland!

Domestic censorship has always been sensitive to this type of film, and "I Am Legend", which had both good reputation and box office success, was not released in the mainland.

And "World War Z" was not approved at first, and Long Toutou thought it didn't matter. But recently, as "Inception" continued to set records in mainland film history, the relevant departments finally relaxed, which was regarded as a favor to Wang Quan. With Inception's performance, all relevant departments will have a good year.

So after deleting 70 seconds of scenes that were too bloody and dark, and imposing promotional restrictions, the zombie movie was approved and will be released simultaneously in North America and mainland China in mid-August.

Mainland audiences have never seen this type of movie in theaters. It must be fresh and very popular. Just the word "zombie" is enough to excite the audience. The box office will not be too bad when the time comes.

And seeing that "World War Z" has entered the mainland market, "Resident Evil 4", which is currently being produced, has also made plans for the mainland market. There is no way, this series is getting worse and worse in other markets, but the mainland movie market is booming. Vitality, if you can make a little bit, it’s worth it.

For this reason, the producer Constantine Films not only has the idea of ​​​​3D, but also plans to invite a Chinese actress to play a heavyweight female supporting role.

As for the character Ada Wang in the game, because the script for the fourth part has been completed, she may have to wait for the next one to appear.

Just when "Inception" was conquering the global film market at its own pace, just when King Power's reputation was reaching its peak step by step, just when Cameron was smiling and collecting money from various film companies to sell 3D related technologies. At that time, a piece of news about imdb shocked the film industry.

After half a month of global release, "Inception" has successively surpassed "Pulp Fiction", "Lord of the Rings 3", "Schindler's List" and "12 Angry Men" in ratings on the authoritative film rating website imdb, ranking first Ranked fourth on the list, and the score successfully increased to 9.0 points!

They are the only four nine-point movies on the list!

In addition, above Inception are "The Godfather Part II" 9.0, "Shawshank Redemption" 9.1 and the first place "The Godfather" 9.2!
