Chapter 763 is so superficial
The premiere of "Jurassic World" in Magic City was just the beginning. Jiang Xiao soon followed several creative staff to other countries for promotion, such as France and the United Kingdom, which were all regular promotion places.
.
Until finally I went to the United States and attended the last and largest premiere.
The publisher was also creative this time. The red carpet for the premiere was arranged directly in the square into a circle-shaped red carpet corridor. This was the first time Jiang Xiao had seen it.
However, it is just a gimmick, the essence of the red carpet ceremony will not change, so the process and formula are still familiar.
Signing autographs for fans, accepting questions and interviews from on-site reporters along the way. These days, every time I go to a place to promote, it's all the same routine, regardless of the size of the premiere.
The next day, Jiang Xiao and the lead actress participated in a TV show to promote the movie.
After finishing, he didn't have time to take a rest, so he returned directly to China. After being delayed for so many days, he had to go back quickly to catch up on the filming progress.
And just when Jiang Xiao returned to the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" to participate in the filming, a "dinosaur" trend spread around the world.
It's really an advantage to star in this movie. After all, with the "Jurassic Park" series in front of me, there is no shortage of fans.
But at the same time, this kind of film, which is almost commercialized to the extreme, may not have much nutrition for the individual actors.
Things are in a dilemma, and there is no situation where all the good things can happen all the time.
Putting these aside, this widespread "dinosaur" trend is naturally reflected in the actual box office.
Domestically, it exceeded the 200 million mark on the first day, reaching 237 million.
It must be said that this is definitely much higher than the box office figures of "Jurassic World" in the mainland in my memory. With such a change, Jiang Xiao can take the credit without any humility.
There is still no controversy. After all, if he had not been the leading male actor in this movie, "Jurassic World" would never have been so popular in China from the beginning.
All in all, it broke 200 million yuan on the first day. In the end, after the first five days, the box office directly passed the 1 billion yuan mark. The specific point is 1.263 billion yuan. It is not inferior to the previous "Vegetarian 7". It is expected that it will break 2 billion yuan in the end.
It will be too difficult, as long as nothing unexpected happens.
Other movies released at the same time can only admit that they are unlucky. For example, "Armageddon", which was released the week before, had a box office of about 300 million in its first week. This week was obviously affected by "Jurassic World", and the decline was relatively sharp.
In the end, it was almost over 100 million, with only over 90 million.
It's probably not that small. In addition, the box office in the first week was nearly 400 million, which should be completely beyond the expectations of foreign film studios.
However, compared to "Collapse", "Who Am I 2015", which was released two days after "Jurassic World", is more...
Maybe it can't be described as miserable. For those who didn't know, this movie was thought to be the sequel to Cheng Ming's "Who Am I", but it's not. Maybe it was filmed with the authorization of Lao Long, borrowing the title of "Who Am I", and a cast of actors
Almost all of them are married.
But in today's movie market, it is a rare "miracle" to only get more than 2 million box office in three days.
Having said that, "Jurassic World" has a domestic box office of more than 1.2 billion, nearly 200 million US dollars, and the global box office is naturally not bad either.
For example, the box office for the first three days of the weekend in North America was US$208 million, because the North American box office list only counts data for the three days of the weekend. In fact, the results for the whole four days must be higher, estimated to be about US$230 million.
As for other countries around the world except China and North America, the total box office revenue exceeded US$200 million, reaching a box office of US$219 million.
This is equivalent to the global first-week box office performance of "Jurassic World", which was approximately US$650 million.
At the current exchange rate of 6.2, the total is about 4 billion yuan, which is considered a new record for the single-week box office of Jiang Xiao's personal works.
It just depends on whether the final box office of "Jurassic World" will exceed 10 billion yuan. I really have some expectations.

The day of the 17th.
Jiang Xiao squeezed out another day to appear in the Magic City.
If nothing else, I came here to participate in the Shanghai Magic City International Film Festival. Perhaps the main reason is that "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" will have its premiere at the film festival.
Yes, that’s right, this animation has finally completed all production and is about to be officially released, and he came here specially to help.
The red carpet ceremony of the premiere started on time at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Many artist friends who happened to be participating in this film festival came to support me, such as the trio of Cao Baoping, Duan Yihong, and Deng Chao from the crew of "Scorching Sun", and He Yan who also participated in "Gardenia Blossoms"
"The cast members are here, including a large number of people, including Li Yifeng, Zhang Huiwen, Lemon's artist Song Yi, etc.
Others including Xu Zheng, Lin Zhilin and others were also present.
Naturally, the main creative staff of "The Return of the Great Sage" are also indispensable.
I won’t talk about the people behind the scenes. After all, they are not in front of the stage. As for dubbing, except for Sun Dasheng’s role, which was played by Huang Bo, the others were all played by professional dubbing actors.
Jiang Xiao himself did not participate in dubbing this time, mainly because he really could not spare much time.
"Jiang Xiao, Jiang Xiao, do you think "The Return of the Great Sage" can recreate the high box office of Lemon's first animated work "Your Name"?"
Jiang Xiao was the last guest to appear alone before the main creator. When he came to the media interview room, reporters immediately asked questions impatiently. To this, without much hesitation, he responded directly:
: "I think it should be possible. As a well-known mythological work, "Journey to the West" will never lack attention. As long as "The Return of the Great Sage" is a sincere work, I believe it will be able to impress the audience."
"And I think "The Return of the Great Sage" is a sincere work. It's not self-promotion. The confidence comes from the quality of the work. I can't say too much now, but everyone will know it when they go to the cinema."
I was originally here to help promote "The Return of the Great Sage", so Jiang Xiao naturally wanted to give a strong recommendation without hesitation.
"I would like to ask Jiang Xiao, "Jurassic World" had a box office of over 1.2 billion in its first week in China. Do you think it can break the previous box office record of "Fast and Furious 7"?"
Another reporter asked.
"Hope can be broken."
"Can you tell us more about the new work "Edge of Tomorrow"? It is rumored to be a science fiction movie, right?"
"Yes, it is a science fiction movie, and it is also the most expensive domestic movie I have ever made."
It is true that "Edge of Tomorrow" has never taken the initiative to disclose too much information. Even the title of the film was only known to the media after it was submitted for review. It was mainly because I wanted to maintain a sense of mystery in the early stage. However, as the filming has passed halfway, Jiang Xiao doesn't mind.
Announce some news.
"How much is the investment? Can you reveal more information? Why did you choose Yui Aragaki for cooperation?"
"The investment will probably be around US$100 million. Regarding the choice of Yui Aragaki, I can only tell you that the original story of "Edge of Tomorrow" happens to come from a novel by Nippon."
Speaking of which, during this period, Yui's Reuters photos were taken of her filming with Jiang Xiao, which made headlines in China. It has also been a hot topic of discussion on the Internet. Now that I have the opportunity to interview him, media reporters will ask about it.
Not surprising either.
"China also has many excellent science fiction stories. Have you ever considered making a science fiction movie with Chinese stories?"
"Of course we will make it, because Lemon has bought the copyright of Liu Cixin's novel "The Wandering Earth" and will soon start developing the film."
Regarding this issue, Jiang Xiao really didn't just talk casually. Lemon did buy the copyright of "The Wandering Earth". How could he forget this movie if he was so prophetic?
"Jiang Xiao, when did you fall in love? What type do you like? Is Aragaki Yui your type?"
A female reporter asked gossipingly.
"Your gossip came at the right time. Thank you for caring about my personal relationship issues and my favorite type. I can only say that I am quite superficial. I look at my appearance first, ha!"
Although he said it in a joking tone, Jiang Xiao really wanted to say that he was just so superficial, and when looking at a girl, he only looked at her looks first.
