Apart from Jiang Xiao's personal life and the Asian Games, there are naturally many things worthy of attention in the past month and a half.

Such as the box office problems of "Bongtian Empire" since its release.

The box office on the first day was more than 26 million. On the second day, there was a slight increase, almost exceeding 30 million. Because that day was the day before National Day, many office workers no longer had to worry about the second day of work.

Naturally, more people will choose to watch movies.

Just like normal times, the effect on Friday is the same.

From the third to the fifth day, it was already the National Day holiday, and the box office naturally increased again, with all of them exceeding the 30 million mark.

As a result, "Bongtian Empire" took in a box office of 147 million yuan in its first five days.

By the next week, the trend continued unabated and another 175 million yuan was obtained.

It was not until the third week that the decline began, but it still amounted to 79.43 million yuan.

In the fourth week, it was 36.98 million yuan.

With such good results, the release will definitely be postponed.

As a result, it received another 16.53 million yuan in the fifth week, fell below the 10 million mark in the sixth week, and was completely released until the ninth week. The Asian Games happened to end at this time, with only one day difference.

The total box office of "Bongtian Empire" was finally 457 million yuan.

If nothing else, it has far surpassed the total box office of "Tongtian Empire" in Jiang Xiao's memory, which was just shy of 300 million.

Originally, he thought that even if the starring role was changed to him, the box office would only be around 350 million at most.

Unexpectedly, there is a quota exceeding 100 million yuan.

There must be many reasons for this. The original "Wushuang" was a collaboration between Jiang Xiao and Xu Ke, so this time they collaborate again on the martial arts theme that Lao Wei is best at, basically giving the audience double expectations.

In addition, it is also possible that "Inception" was being released at the same time, and his participation in it played a joint role, which invisibly boosted the box office of "The Empire of Heaven".

Speaking of "Inception", this movie also achieved very good results when it was released, with 539 million yuan.

It is the second most imported film, and the first is naturally "Avatar".

It seems that it is also Jiang Xiao's highest-grossing work. "Partners in China" was 513 million, a difference of more than 20 million.

However, in "Inception", he is obviously not the leading male actor, so in terms of his starring role, it still has to be "Chinese Partner".

No matter what, "Inception" and "Bongtian Empire" are one of the biggest winners.

One dominates the September stall, the other dominates the October stall, crushing all opponents.

Of the others, probably only "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" can be classified as a winner. It was a literary film and ended up with a box office of over 100 million. Not to mention making huge profits, there were still small profits.

Other than that, they are all losers of course, and the worst one is "Sword Rain", which only made more than 30 million.

It seems to be less than Jiang Xiao remembered. After all, "Empire of Heaven" was influenced by him and the box office was much higher, which will naturally hurt "Sword Rain".

If the release dates of two movies are only one day apart, there will be a big winner and there will definitely be a big loser.

Moreover, in the movie "Sword Rain", apart from the good martial arts scenes, the casting was very unsuccessful. They were all actors who did not have much popularity in the mainland.

Secondly, the plot also has too many flaws and almost loses its logic.

Also injured was "Fist of Fury", which had a box office of less than 100 million, only over 80 million.

The claimed cost was US$18 million, and the loss was so bad that I lost my pants.

However, this cost is obviously high, not small, at most 10 million US dollars. It is estimated that Zhen Zidan's salary accounted for 40%. Since the "Ip Man" series has become popular, the salary will definitely increase.

Of course, even if the cost is US$10 million, there is no doubt that there will be a loss.

There may be a small loss, but other regions and countries can still make some money back.

Similarly miserable was the movie "Don Quixote," which was released in mid-October and was billed as the first domestic 3D movie.

It was miserable, but I have to say that this movie was actually a success. It defrauded the box office of more than 17 million yuan by relying on the 3D gimmick.

Otherwise, given the quality of this movie and the lead actor who has no box office appeal like Ben Hao, I am afraid that if it is not the result of a week-long trip to the theater, how much box office it can get depends entirely on luck.

Putting all these aside, "The Empire of Heaven", which has a very good box office, although its reputation is also good, it is obviously not as good as the evaluation of Jiang Xiao's previous works.

It almost fell below the 7-point rating and stopped at 7.0.

It is almost his second-lowest rated work. The first is "The Night Banquet" with only 6.1 points.

As for other works, they all scored above 7 points, and it is not uncommon to get 8 points. Some of them exceeded 9 points. For example, "Inception" seems to be the only one.

This is because of course the work itself is okay, but it has not reached the level of a masterpiece.

This has nothing to do with Jiang Xiao's acting skills. "Empire of Heaven" is not a genre film that relies entirely on acting skills.

Maybe director Xu Ke is also struggling to maintain the connotation of "martial arts style" while also having enough suspense.

In the end, it was balanced, but the suspense was not enough. Some parts were made up of coincidences, and even the "martial arts style" was not particularly obvious.

There is a feeling of losing everything, and I don't know if the old monster has any regrets.

Probably not, the box office of 457 million is still very attractive.

As for Jiangxiao himself, I won’t say whether he is obsessed with it or not, but it does bring some good benefits.

He was able to account for 30% of the revenue from "Bongtian Empire". At the beginning, he used his salary to cover most of the investment, plus a small part of the cash investment.

Of the 457 million box office, about 175 million will go to the producers, and 30% will be about 52.5 million.

However, this includes Jiang Xiao’s cash investment and film remuneration, so it’s really not a lot of money.

He will also account for 30% of other income, but don't expect too much, it will definitely not be too much.

No matter how much or not, this is the result of "Tongtian Empire".

It feels like all the busy work is like a fraction of what I earn from a variety show.

Speaking of variety shows, the third season of "Three Meals a Day" was aired long before "Bongtian Empire" was released, and the ratings of the first episode easily exceeded 3 points.

As of the latest episode so far, the average viewership is almost over 4 points, and the highest rating in a single episode is over 5 points.

In contrast, the second season of "Running Man", which also started airing in early November, has also received great ratings. The first episode's results were far better than "Three Meals a Day", almost breaking 4 points, which is absolutely phenomenal.

program.

Behind the high ratings, there are naturally huge profits, and the final income will definitely be astonishing.

In addition to variety shows, in terms of film and television dramas, "Beauty's Scheming" has also been launched, and the ratings are also booming, starting with a knife...

No, it started with a rating of 2.7 points, and the current peak for a single episode is close to 4 points. Its popularity is second only to the summer vacation's "Step by Step", but it is already gratifying enough.

Counting this year, the three highest-rated dramas are all related to lemons.

For the industry, it was a miracle, but for Jiang Xiao, it was not a miracle. After all, with the help of bugs, the drama he chose had almost no chance of failure.
