Chapter 754 Shrimp and Pig Heart
"Big Hero 6" delivered a great result on the day it was released on Christmas Day. With Jiang Xiao's active promotion, this animation naturally attracted more attention than in memory.
It broke 52 million yuan in a single day, and it was not in vain that he ran road shows in several cities.
This is due to the competitive pressure of "Take the Tiger", which was released two days earlier. Therefore, for an animated film that appears for the first time and is not a sequel to achieve this result, it is obvious that the domestic audience is slowly growing, with more and more people.
adult audiences don’t just label animated films “children’s films.”
"Baymax" can be regarded as the biggest highlight of "Big Hero 6". Silly and cute things always easily capture people's hearts.
Especially girls. Then, under the leadership of girls, they can bring male audiences into the cinema. Naturally, the attention will become higher and higher, the reputation will increase, and the box office will also increase.
After the first four days, I got 271 million yuan, which was far more than Jiang Xiao expected. Although I didn’t win the weekly crown, what is there to be dissatisfied with with this result?
Of course Zhou Guan's "Taking Tigers and Mountains by Wisdom" has a box office of 337 million yuan in six days.
Obviously, it was word-of-mouth that brought about the gratifying box office, and it was a rare success for the main theme.
The third place is Jiang Wen's "One Step Away", with over 99 million, just shy of breaking 100 million. It is currently in its second week.
The movie was released for a week and took in a box office of 344 million in the first four days, and then...
There is no more, and you know it is going to be over when you look at this terrifying decline.
The audience was full of joy and thought that they would get a surprise like "Let the Bullets Fly" for the second time. In the end, they only saw a "Republic of China Spring Festival Gala", which was still not very good. Jiang Wen silently sent a sentence: "What a blessing."
Damn it, what the hell were you taking pictures of?
Maybe Jiang Wen was already high and forgot that the movie was meant for ordinary audiences.
There was a loud noise, and finally it was a big squib.
Fortunately, at least in the first week, the "idiot" was "cheated" to earn more than 300 million in box office. The loss may be certain, but the loss can be smaller.
What's even worse is Wu Yusen, who is completely "speechless".
"Taiping", which was released at the beginning of the month, just like the "Taiping" in history, it sank directly.
Only Zhang Ziyi left a lasting impression on the audience. He asked for money twice after being asked for it twice, but he didn’t get the money and was slapped. Uh... he lost his blood. There is only one character named "Yang Tian" in the movie.
"Tiger" also has a "protective green" head.
"Peace Wheel" has only had a box office of over 100 million so far, which is sad to watch. Director Wu also reflected on "Red Cliff", and it will become more and more miserable in the future. It seems that he will only make one movie in the future.
"Atavistic" 80's style movie.
In "Red Cliff", Guan Yu said to Cao Cao, "You are out of date"? This is probably a "footnote" to the end of Wu Yusen's life.
But what's even more annoying is that "Tai Ping Huan" was already so miserable, and a youth movie "The Year in a Hurry" was forced to take over, which is simply a "shrimp pig heart".
Others can just be spectators, but fortunately, both "The Outlaws" and "Big Hero Marines" have received good reviews at the box office, and they are basically the two highest-quality films in December.
And with an indomitable momentum, we passed through 2014 and entered 2015, which was a good start.

On the 15th, the final nominations for the Oscars will be announced? Is "The Years" nominated for Best Foreign Language Film?
It has also been so many years since "Hero" that another Chinese-language film was nominated for a foreign language film. Twelve years have passed.
This naturally made the media in the entire industry excited? Various reports, reviews, and predictions were made? It was just like "Chinese New Year", so what?
All I can say is that Chinese people do have a good reputation. No Chinese-language film has ever won the Best Foreign Language Film. It’s more or less a pity.
The most outstanding one before was probably Lao Xizi. Several of his works were shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film, but unfortunately none of them won.
Others, including Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" and Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", have been nominated.
The "National Master" still has two brushes. Although now because he has to raise several children, he is getting older and is under a lot of pressure, the number of works has always been large, but the quality has declined.
It's a pity for Chen Kaige that "Farewell My Concubine" lost to a film with a rating of just over six points. I feel that the reason is no longer in the film itself.
Let’s not talk about Li Yu’s achievements. Others follow the American way of thinking and it is easy to succeed.
Regardless of whether it's not a big deal or not, "Years"'s rejection of the nomination did attract a lot of attention.
In addition, this movie is very well received, with a rare high score of 9.6 on a certain website.
Moreover, because it has already won the Grand Prix at Cannes, everyone's expectations for "The Years" to perform at the Oscars have increased.

Within two days, Jiang Xiao received a plane.
It's not a model, it's a real airplane. The private jet he ordered, the Gulfstream G650, finally arrived.
In other words, it was finally assembled, because the parts were shipped to China for assembly, so really, the plane had arrived in China a long time ago.
Now it's just that all the procedures, procedures, documents, etc. that need to be followed are in place. Now Jiang Xiao, the buyer, has participated in the final test flight and the money and goods have been cleared.
Of course, the test flight he participated in was not an experimental test flight, it was already a final 100% completed product.
Jiang Xiao didn't bring anyone else with him, or he only brought two bodyguards, Lan Yafan and Zhou Jiao, plus people from Gulfstream for this test flight.
Needless to say, it is luxurious. The interior has been slightly modified according to his needs. Anyway, it is very convenient. Don't ask about convenience.
The experience of a test flight...well, I have flown on a private jet before, at least because this plane made me feel a little different psychologically.
In short, after throwing away hundreds of millions, there will be no need to wait for flights again.
The flight was to Rongcheng, so Jiang Xiao simply picked up his parents and flew back to the capital to let his parents see his granddaughter before taking her back for the New Year.

At the end of the month.
The box office of "Big Hero 6", which was released for a little more than a month, successfully exceeded 800 million, reaching 838 million yuan.
It will continue to be released for two more months, but there is little hope of breaking 900 million, and 850 million is still possible.
However, based on the calculation of 850 million, movies like "Big Hero 6" are approved, so they enjoy the share of domestic movies, so it is much higher than Disney estimated.
These twists and turns were originally Jiang Xiao's little plan. Regardless of whether Disney understands domestic rules or not, the money has already been obtained.
Lemon can get about 330 million US dollars, the cost is 10 million US dollars, more than 60 million US dollars, and another 30 million US dollars are deducted for publicity, making about 240 million US dollars, and more than half of the money for buying a private jet is instantly recovered.
By the way, the box office of "Take the Tiger Mountain" has successfully exceeded 900 million yuan, 921 million yuan, and it will also be released for two months.
But it is obviously the same. In the second month, it will not be able to get much box office. It will be difficult to collect 950 million. It is estimated that the total box office is 935 million. Anyway, the difference compared to the total box office is only a fraction.
There are quite a few film investment companies, there are five or six, lemons account for 20%, and the investment cost is 16 million. In the end, the net profit was more than 40 million.
Not to mention that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Blissful Heart" directed by Lemon Investment, directed by Xu Zheng and starring Xu Zheng and Huang Bo will also be released.
This medium-budget movie has a box office of more than 1 billion in my memory?
I feel that the profitability will not be less than that of "Big Hero 6". Not only that I can earn back all the money I paid for the private jet, but I also have a lot more. I have money, but I don't know how to spend it.
Chapter completed!
