You don't understand the happiness of the director

"The North American box office of The Force Awakens exceeded 1 billion in 58 days!"

This news is the number one hot topic in the North American press at this time.

One billion is not reached suddenly. Judging from box office trends, 1 billion is a matter of time. Everyone is waiting for this day to arrive.

Now that it has been realized, everyone is extremely excited.

What does it mean to have a box office of over 1 billion in North America?

The previous box office champion in North American film history was "Avatar" with 759 million.

"The Force Awakens" improved by nearly a third!

The North American box office of one billion is an unprecedented miracle in film history.

According to the current average ticket price of US$8.14, "The Force Awakens" mobilized 123 million moviegoers in North America, which is equivalent to one-third of the North American population having seen this movie!

Of course, this is obviously impossible. There is a lot of over-watching behavior. It is said that many viewers go to the cinema to watch it every day, but the reason behind the over-watching is not because they like it or whether the film is good.

Excluding the impact of inflation and counting only the number of moviegoers, "The Force Awakens" is currently ranked eighth in North America and is the only 21st century movie on this list.

Among them, the seventh place is Spielberg's 1975 "Jaws" with 128 million viewers. It is also Spielberg's highest-ranked film. It is worthy of creating a summer movie.

However, "The Force Awakens" is still in theaters. It is normal for a blockbuster movie of this level to be released in North America for three or four months. "Avatar" was released for half a year back then.

Therefore, "The Force Awakens" is very hopeful to surpass the North American movie attendance record of "Jaws" and move up a level.

Of course, "The Force Awakens" cannot surpass the 178 million viewers of the first "Star Wars" that year (second in film history).

Fortunately, the IMDB ratings of the two movies are tied, both 8.7. They are the two Star Wars movies with the best reputation, which means that the Star Wars series has really been resurrected.

The great success of "The Force Awakens" has made this year's "Star Wars Story" and next year's "Star Wars Episode 8" highly anticipated. This is just a small amount of money. No wonder Dorothy is so excited.

But I’m happy that King Power is still not expected to be the box-office champion in global film history.

As "The Force Awakens" exceeded 1 billion in North America, the film's global box office has also reached a huge US$2.4 billion.

Although it is still in theaters, its box office potential is almost exhausted, and at most it will only increase by tens of millions.

And this is still a huge gap from the global box office of "Avatar" which exceeded US$2.7 billion.

It's a pity that the current mainland market is not big enough. If it is placed a few years later, the Chinese can easily help him bridge the gap of 300 million US dollars.

However, Wang Quan is not an obsessive data controller. If he can't surpass him, he can't surpass him. Second place will be second place. He must always leave some room for growth for his younger self, otherwise life will be as lonely as snow.

However, Yang Mi was very excited. Seeing that Wang Quan had no intention of forwarding relevant reports, she searched for relevant self-media reports on Weibo, and then liked them one by one, which instantly became a beautiful scenery on Weibo.

After today, except for employees working for the Spring Festival period, the company will basically be on holiday.

The next day, Wang Quan and Yang Mi took Xiao Yu'er and half-year-old Xiao Xianmi out in a stroller and bought some New Year's goods.

Mei Xi stayed with her, but it turned out that all the carrying work was hers, so she couldn't let Xiao Yu'er do the work.

snort! The couple showed off their affection while pushing a stroller, and were spotted and photographed by several passers-by.

In fact, there aren’t too many things. My parents have already helped me buy them before, and they are going to Xiangjiang a few days after the Spring Festival, so there is no need to buy too many things.

On New Year's Eve, Wang Quan and Yang Mi took their two daughters to Lao Wang's courtyard to celebrate the New Year.

“The courtyard house has more atmosphere during the Chinese New Year.”

Looking at the festive courtyard decorated by her parents-in-law, complete with lanterns, spring couplets and the Chinese characters "Fu", Yang Mi felt inspired. She thought of the days when she lived in the courtyard when she was a child. Although the space was not big, it was popular and the Chinese New Year was celebrated every year. The most anticipated day in my life.

This courtyard is large enough, but the population is still a little sparse. There are only six people in it now. It would be great if I could have a few more.

Wang Quan hugged her and said, "Everything is fine, except that there is no sound of firecrackers. It feels a bit boring."

He still remembers that when he was a child, he took Mimi and other children younger than him to play with whips all over the alley. At that time, he was the big brother who took the lead.

Their location, like Luogu Lane, belongs to the core of the capital, and the control is even stricter.

Lao Wang, you don’t want to be invited to the police station by your in-laws during the Chinese New Year.

At this time, Lao Wang and Xiao Yu'er walked out carrying two strings of firecracker-like things.

"If you don't let the whip go off, you have to make some noise, and here's this!"

Electronic firecrackers are a helpless move.

Xiao Yu'er wanted to hear it now, and her grandfather asked her to endure it for a while, "I'll let you play it tonight."

Xiao Yuer pouted, and then went to find her grandma.

Grandma is preparing the family's New Year's Eve dinner. It's rare that she, the general manager of Meifu Banquet, cooks it herself. Although she can't compare with her second uncle, she is much better than the average person.

Wang Quan pushed Mimi, and she immediately rolled up her sleeves and went to help.

She went to help, while Xiao Yuer went to steal some food.

Wang Quan was pushing the stroller, and Xiao Xianmi was biting her fingers. The child hadn't teethed yet, and Mimi was still a little anxious.

The women were all in the kitchen, and Wang Quan and Lao Wang were chatting about work in the yard.

"Director Yang Qing's "The Legend of Wukong" will be released in the next year. Don't worry, it won't delay your work." Lao Wang said.

Wang Quan has decided that Yang Qing will direct "Young Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" and it will be released in 2017.

However, there have been a lot of adventure and fantasy movies in the past two years. I don’t know how much box office this prequel with no famous director and an all-new cast will have.

But one thing is for sure, this will be the cheapest "Ghost Blowing Lantern".

However, the cheapest one should not be less than 200 million, which is equivalent to the investment in "The Legend of Wukong".

Wang Quan asked: "I heard that Wen Zhang will play Sun Wukong this time? Will the market accept him well?"

Lao Wang took out his mobile phone: "He is the third male lead in "One Step Away". You can see that he is still the first in pre-sales. It can be seen that the impact of that incident has almost subsided, and the company also compensated Ma Yili and gave him With her "My First Half of Life" and other resources, the divorced couple will act like good friends in public in the future, so netizens can't say anything."

Lao Wangxin said that he also learned this trick from your boy, because Sissi spoke for him and remained friendly on the surface, so netizens could not blame him for breaking up with Sissi.

Wang Quan shook his head. Lao Wang was very devoted to Wen Zhang, but this choice is also good news for the movie. Wen Zhang's acting skills are always better than Peng Yuyan.

Coupled with Yang Qing's control of the big scenes and plot, not to mention it will be a classic, but it will not be worse than the original film.

Wang Quan has seen some of the concept drawings made by Yang Qing in the early stage. If those can be realized, it will be regarded as a big progress for the Journey to the West movie.

Then Wang Quan also took out his phone and took a look at the cat's eye.

Now that the film schedule for New Year's Day has basically settled, the obvious feeling this year is that no one company is dominant.

In fact, "Leng Feng"'s more than 20 film schedules are not a dominant one, but after all, there are eight movies at the same time, and 26.6% is already considered very high.

This year is terrible. "Lion" starring Cheng Long ranks first in the film schedule, but only 17.5% of the films are scheduled.

The gap between the second place "One Step Away" and the Lions is not too wide, at 16.9%.

The third place is "Legend of the Shark Pearl" released by Maoyan, also starring Cheng Long, 14.7%

Fourth place "Omen 2", relying on the gimmick of Shen Pain + Wang Jing's comedy collision, received 14.2% of the film schedule.

These four films feel relatively evenly matched, and the gap is not very wide. This shows that everyone is working hard on publishing and is willing to spend money, so this situation has arisen.

In addition, "Zhong Kui Conquers the Demon" and "Where Are We Going, Dad 2" both have more than 11% of the film schedule.

Both "Wolf Totem" and "Up to the Sky" ranked below 10%, with the latter ranking last at only 5.1%~

"Up in the Sky" is a Hong Kong film co-distributed by Enlight, with producers including Media Asia, Shaw Brothers and Coo Tin Lok's The World.

This movie is considered to be the most cannon fodder during the Spring Festival, but the film studio probably does not have high expectations. Taking advantage of the excitement of the Spring Festival, a box office of 100 million will be considered a victory.

But the last movie "Where Are We Going, Dad 2" was aiming for 600 million, so I pointed to this movie to stimulate the stock price.

However, the 11.2% film schedule and the not too strong pre-sale box office made Yang Mi a little angry.

So in the kitchen, Mei Yanqiu washed a cucumber for her to eat.

After Yang Mi took it, she habitually put it into her mouth, then immediately reacted and bit it off with a click.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law turned away after giving it to her, which was so embarrassing!

Mei Yanqiu: But I saw it from the sidelines! Oh, today's young people!

In the evening, everyone forgot about this little embarrassment. After the New Year's Eve dinner, Xiao Yu'er turned on all the electronic firecrackers in the yard. Listening to the sound of firecrackers, the Spring Festival Gala began.

This year's director has been replaced by Ha Wen. Wang Quan knows that the level of this version is actually not as good as the Feng Xiaogang version that was criticized badly last year, but this year everyone has a must-see reason.

The royal power depends on Nazha.

This year is Nazha's first Spring Festival Gala performance, and she will perform a dance "Dancing Music of Xijiang".

This is not only an operation by Shiba Culture to expand Nazha's popularity, but also to promote "The Legend of the Shark Pearl". As the heroine, she appeared in the Spring Festival Gala, which was convenient for publicity the next day.

Yang Mi mainly came to see her roommate Zhang Xiaofei. This year she attended the Spring Festival Gala for the first time and performed a skit with Teacher Feng Gong.

Other than that, let’s take a look at the guests of “I Am a Singer 2” and “Where Are We Going, Dad 2”.

Including Deng Ziqi and Lu Yi's family of three.

These are all the influences brought by the power variety show.

Lao Wang mainly watched the contestants of "Happy Comedian", such as Shen Painma Li, Jia Ling, Zhang Xiaofei, Yue Yunpeng, Sun Yue, Gao Xiaopan, You Xianchao and others.

Although some people have been regular guests of the Spring Festival Gala for a long time, most of them were only seen by the Spring Festival Gala program crew because of their participation in this program.

In this way, he can be regarded as a very good person.

As for Mei Yanqiu, she has recently become obsessed with square dancing. Although she doesn’t dance much because of work, she knows a lot of classic dance music. I heard that the two major square dance songs of this year’s Spring Festival Gala, “Little Apple” and “The Most Dazzling National Style” will be Combined, this is what she has been waiting for this Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala started with singing and dancing, which was lively but not interesting.

Wang Quan immediately created a WeChat group and sent a red envelope in it.

After a year, WeChat red envelopes have been accepted by more and more people. For this red envelope, countless WeChat users have bound their bank cards, allowing WeChat to compete with Alipay.

Wang Quan's group is the "I Love My Family Group". In addition to him and Yang Mi, there are also Lao Wang Mei Yanqiu and Lao Yang and his wife.

This time we won’t play games. It’s Wang Quan and Yang Mi who send red envelopes to the four elders. They are really rebelling against Tiangang.

Of course, Wang Quan also has several other groups, and they send out a lot. It is trivial to send out tens of thousands of yuan in one night. If it were not for the limit of red envelopes now, even millions would not be able to send out.

"The Most Stunning Little Apple" appeared relatively early, and I watched it in more than an hour. While watching, Mei Yanqiu took Xiao Yu'er to dance in the square.

Xiao Yuer was quite happy and felt like she had learned another social skill.

Wang Quan waited for two hours before seeing Naza's performance.

Gee, Nazha is still so beautiful in her national costume, and the exotic style of her outfit is so charming.

Wang Quan watches TV, and Yang Mi watches Wang Quan.

Humph, who hasn’t been to the Spring Festival Gala?

Nazha's performance was huge this time, and she was basically dancing solo. There were several unknown singers behind her to help her with music, but the core of the stage belonged to her.

Maoyan also immediately took action. "Nazha is so beautiful" immediately entered the top five hot searches and was associated with her appearance in "The Legend of Shark Pearl".

There are actresses in this world who can attract people to buy tickets just by their beauty.

After successfully completing the performance, Nazha immediately got her mobile phone and first sent a New Year greeting message to Wang Quan, and then informed her parents that she would go home for the New Year's Eve dinner immediately.

This year, for the first time, all the Nazha family celebrated the New Year in Beijing.

She bought another building for her parents. They lived with her sister, and Nazha often stayed there. As for the villa, it was a private space for her and her brother.

After Nazha's show, there is the most anticipated work about Ma Li during the Spring Festival this year, "Following the Love".

In horizontal comparison, this is still the best language program in this year's Spring Festival Gala. It has created a lot of laughs, such as the phrase "Reject porn, refuse gambling, and refuse table tennis", and was even sued by the Table Tennis Association.

It was not until a few years later that people discovered how much the Table Tennis Association needed the first two sentences.

However, in vertical comparison, this program is definitely not as good as last year's "Help or Not", and even worse than Shen Tong's several programs on "Happy Comedian".

The choreographers of this sketch are still the duo Yan Fei and Peng Damo.

The two brothers are now financially free, but they are still depressed.

They want to put their most proud and happy Mahua's most successful drama "The Count of Wulong Mountain" on the big screen.

Of course, the leading role in this story is still Shen Pain, and no one can replace her.

But Mahua refused. The new script they were writing featured Allen as the protagonist.

Therefore, Yan Fei and Peng Damo are also considering creating an original script to be produced by the richest man in Xihong City.

After Shen Tie's skit, Wang Quan coaxed Xiao Yu'er to sleep, and then gave Xiao Xianmi to Mei Yanqiu. Tonight, Wang Quan and Yang Mi were going to stay up all night long!
