212 million yuan.

This is the box office performance of "July and Ansheng" in the off-season.

For a dramatic and artistic film, this result is definitely quite impressive, and should be better than the one I remember from "July and Ansheng".

It’s not surprising that the combination of Liu Yifei + Yang Mi can beat Little Yellow Duck and Ma Chun.

It can be said that "July and Ansheng" is the second time that Sissi and Damimi have collaborated since "The Condor", and it is the first time for a movie.

Probably only Jiang Xiao has this ability to bring the two women together, because the lives of Yang Mi and Liu Yifei have been changed because of him.

So sometimes 1+1 may equal 3, which is why "July and Ansheng" received a box office of more than 200 million yuan.

Although it is no longer new for the box office to exceed 100 million yuan. In the past 12 years, more than 40 movies have exceeded the 100 million yuan threshold. But to reach 200 million yuan, the chance has to be reduced by half, especially for a literary film.

The success of "July and Ansheng" also caused Chen Kexin to say more than once in interviews that this movie saved his career and publicly thanked him many times... The original "history" also appeared a little bit wrong.

.

The other party is indeed very unlucky. One of his works failed one after another, and even "Blood Drops", which he was a producer of, also failed miserably.

Although Jiang Xiao did not say that he filmed "Chinese Partner" in advance and then asked Chen Kexin to direct "July and Ansheng", no matter what, that's it.

Lemon also made a small profit, because the cost was really not high, it was a small and medium cost, and it cost 30 million.

This is all because the salary he offered his woman was slightly higher, otherwise, the cost might have been even lower.

The overall net profit is around 40 million. Well, if it doesn’t exceed 100 million, it can only be considered a “small” profit. Is it inflated?

In addition to the box office, "July and Ansheng" shined at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, receiving as many as ten nominations, including multiple behind-the-scenes awards, plus overall awards such as Best Director, Film, and Actress.

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi were both nominated for Best Actress.

However, the nominations were outstanding, and out of eleven awards, it only won one award for Best Original Music. Most of the other awards, especially the heavyweight awards, were lost to another award-winning hit, "Chilling".

Jiang Xiao can only say that the two women probably won't be lucky enough to win awards, including the Golden Rooster and the Golden Horse.

In fact, it’s okay to be nominated. After all, neither Liu Qianqian nor Damimi in my memory seems to have been nominated for an award with the word "gold", right?

Then in addition to "July and Ansheng", "To the Spring and Spring of Our End" has also been officially released in late April.

This movie has attracted a lot of attention since the beginning of filming. After all, the director is Xiao Yanzi.

The "momentum" is sufficient, so the movie achieved good results as soon as it was released. It took in a box office of 145 million yuan in the first three days, and continued to take in more than 338 million yuan in the next week.

The trend during the period was very stable, and it was not until the third week that it slowly started to decline, and it got 145 million in box office, yes, it was almost the same as the first week, only a fraction.

The drop is actually not small, more than 40%. It may be affected by word-of-mouth, because "To Youth" did not have a big hit in word-of-mouth, so it is just a little bit above the passing line.

In itself, Little Swallow is regarded as a graduation work. It reflects the other party's directorial level. It just passed a little bit, but at any rate it passed.

Who made many actors start to try to be directors in the future, but only a few can succeed. Most of them rush to the street and even their mothers don't recognize them. It makes people complain that everyone starts to become directors, which leaves a lot of bad impressions.

Of course, Jiang Xiao doesn't care much about Xiao Yanzi's directing skills. "To Youth" is just a one-time deal, he just wants to make money.

By the fifth week, the movie's box office had successfully exceeded 700 million, reaching 710 million.

It's probably around the same mark. Even though it will be released for a few more weeks, the single-day box office has already dropped below one million. Counting 9 million, the total box office is expected to be 720 million when it is released, which is probably about the same.

Calculation, deductions and points should be deducted, and in the end, there will be about 280 million in the hands of the producers.

The cost + promotion of "To Youth" was about 60 million, which equals a net profit of 220 million.

Among them, Xiaoyanzi will take 15%, which is 33 million.

This money is not the director's remuneration, to be precise, Xiao Yanzi took the initiative to not want to be remunerated.

But the other party still participated in part of the investment. Jiang Xiao didn't refuse for a moment. After all, he didn't want any reward. How could he live alone and not let others invest?

Maybe it is comfortable to eat alone, but there is no need to make it look so ugly. There is endless money to be made.

Furthermore, Xiaoyanzi cannot predict the future, so he will bear certain risks by following the investment.

After talking about "To Youth", Jiang Xiaoyou's "Vegetarian 6" also had its premiere in London on May 7.

He randomly found an excuse not to attend, even though he was on vacation with Fan Binbin at the time and was unavailable.

Anyway, whether he goes or not won't have much impact on the supporting role. The key is that he no longer participates in the investment of this movie like "Vegetarian 5", so he is not that concerned about it.

Jiang Xiao also only earned US$6 million in net salary for "Vegetarian 6".

In short, after the movie premiered on the 7th, it began to be released in advance in several countries on the 17th, and it was not until the 24th that it was released on a large scale in the United States and other countries.

The box office was naturally very good, with a three-day opening weekend in North America of US$96.79 million.

So far, it has exceeded the US$200 million mark.

The global box office is not bad either. It has passed the US$400 million threshold, which means that the global box office of "Vegetarian 6" has exceeded US$600 million.

However, China will not release it at the same time. It will be released at the end of July, and it will probably be the last country to release it.

Relatively speaking, Jiang Xiao is obviously more concerned about the affairs of "Now You See Me".

This movie is also about to be released, and it will be the first to be released in China, about half a month in advance.

It will premiere on the 13th and will be released in full theaters on the 15th.

And today, the premiere was held in the capital. Not only did all the main creators come to China, but the producer and director came, Joseph came, and Emma Watson will definitely come too.

.

"Now You See Me" is a co-production, jointly distributed by Lemon and China Film Group. Jiang Xiao rejected some companies with connections who wanted to bring people in to show off the film, and only allowed a few directors who had worked with him to come and support it.

People like Lin Shi, Han Yan and others basically belong to the background.

To put it bluntly, with him and Emma Watson here, the addition of Jonzef has already made the scene extremely popular. Maybe Emma herself never thought that she would have such popularity in China.

.

Anyway, whether it’s Jiang Xiao, Emma Watson, or Joseph, they can’t stop signing and signing posters on both sides of the red carpet.

It wasn't until about ten minutes later that we entered the premiere hall. The main creators sat in a row and talked about the movie "Now You See Me" under the auspices of the host next to them.

The process is nothing new, they are all very standardized issues.

We even chatted about some off-topic topics, such as what kind of food we had in China that impressed us.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something, but Emma Watson talked about soup dumplings and had the same “fate” as her widowed sister. She got burned after taking one bite.
Chapter completed!
