Chapter 427 Global sales of $750 million!
Due to the small number of screenings in the early stages, in some places there was even only one cinema with a small number of screenings, which led to that cinema being overcrowded!
Who can resist money? Add more! Add more!
Move the other movie screenings over to me!
So a week later on Sunday, new data came out...
Resident Evil: 89% Freshness Rating: $120 million in North America; Ranking: 1; North American Total: $420 million; Global Total: $750 million
Tomb Raider: Freshness Rating: 81%; North American Box Office: $63 million; Ranking: 2; North American Total: $450 million; Global Total: $810 million
“!!!!”
“120 million US dollars!!!”
"Say it again? Who's first?"
"Resident Evil broke 100 million in a single day? And that's just in North America?"
"Shit! What about the world?"
"230 million worldwide!"
"Resident Evil's single-day box office has made a comeback!"
"Fuxx, I've never seen this before!"
"750 million!!! 5 billion Great Xia coins!"
"I've never seen a movie that didn't have the highest opening score!"
"Well, now you've seen it. It's common for Wukong's movies to start low and end high! I've done my homework~"
"Think about it, before it was released, the prediction for Resident Evil was to take in between $400 million and $500 million worldwide..."
"Then I can only say that you are too naive. The Avengers movie will take up at least 200 million US dollars in Daxia! And the ticket price is basically one-seventh of that in North America. Then you can calculate other places."
"Also, this is a spin-off movie for a game that has 400 million fans worldwide! Even if even one-tenth of those 400 million people showed up and each of them got a ticket, the total would still be more than this!"
"Oh my god! Stop talking about spin-off movies! Have you ever seen a spin-off movie make $750 million?!"
There is a lot of commotion abroad, and people in China are going crazy!
[Resident Evil generated $120 million in revenue in North America in a single day!]
[“Resident Evil” becomes the single-day box office champion in North America! ]
[“Resident Evil” grossed $750 million worldwide! ]
"Resident Evil" becomes director Da Xia's highest-grossing foreign-language film!
【Wukong breaks his personal box office record! 】
[“Resident Evil” counterattacks “Tomb Raider”! ]
“…”
"I feel like I should be shocked and in awe, but... I'm really speechless right now."
"Yeah, didn't they say Director Daxia is having trouble in Hollywood?"
"Isn't it said that Hollywood doesn't believe in tears, and that Daxia's top filmmakers are at most at the bottom?"
"Isn't it said that it's not easy for people from Daxia to break into Hollywood? Why is it difficult?"
"It's not easy to pay back 120 million?! Does this look like it's not easy?"
"I think it's easy for him!"
"What's the difference between this and being in Daxia? It's different. We've already become number one in just one week!"
"Yeah, what's the difference between this and the previous movies 'Once Upon a Time in China', 'Infernal Affairs', and 'Kung Fu Hustle'? Every card is blown up in the same way!"
"It's just that this time I went to a different place to play cards..."
"Let me read you what the media was saying: Daxia director Wukong bravely forced his way into Hollywood! ... Young people are too naive... Young directors need more hardships to hone their skills... Don't turn back until you hit the wall... They should calm down and cultivate their inner strength... Young people shouldn't get carried away with just a little success... Hollywood isn't that easy..."
"There are even worse things to say. This, this, you don't know your own weight!"
"Excuse me, dear friends from the media, do you know how much Wukong weighs now?!"
From the first spark of the Daxia film industry, with its first camera, first studio, first director, first film, and first cinema, Daxia filmmakers have come a long way over the past few decades...
The gap of several decades of late start cannot be made up overnight...
From the first million, the first ten million, to the first time breaking one hundred million, new records were born one after another, with so many laughs and tears of filmmakers in them.
They walked for too long along the way.
Along the way, many people said, it’s your fault for not taking good-looking photos!
You still have to watch Hollywood movies!
Look at other people’s techniques and how they tell stories!
Look how someone can become rich overnight by watching a movie!
But you will make bad movies!
There has been too much ridicule and sarcasm along the way.
And most of these stab wounds come from our own people!
Seeing the market being dominated and even controlled by overseas films, and seeing other countries' cultures gradually invading, don't you feel anxious?
Of course they are panicking, but the market is so cruel, so the filmmakers of Daxia have realized that what they need to do is to practice their internal skills and produce good works in order to conquer the audience and regain their own voice!
As those familiar faces gradually appeared on the big screen and on the international stage, Daxia Film grew day by day.
Although it is slow, it is growing!
Suddenly one day, someone tells you that his fourth movie is about to be released in Hollywood!
No one believed it, and no one dared to believe it!
Even if we are making progress, it’s not that fast!
It will take at least 10 years for everyone to realize their vision, and only in 10 years can we produce decent results.
Filmmakers who have worked in the film industry for 10 years can no longer just be popular in the film industry! They can also make their mark internationally!
However, one day someone said, if there is no 10 years, it is today!
When the media and seniors warn us to be more stable and down-to-earth, especially a genius like Wukong, we should be more careful in what we say and do!
The other party did not accept this so-called good advice, but instead went there bravely!
Now, everyone is looking at that brightly colored 750 million! In US dollars!
I'm dumbfounded!
He did it! He actually did it!
The box office of the fourth movie has exceeded 5 billion Daxia coins, and this is only the second week!
The first talented director who can win overseas films and compete head-on with Hollywood movies has been born!
Everyone has waited for this day for too long!
"I think I should be excited, but why do I feel like crying?"
Director Guo Zhenqi was preparing for "The Wandering Earth" when he was suddenly shocked by the shining 750 million!
Recalling when he first came to Hollywood, he had already won the box office championship in the summer, but he was still asked "Who are you!"
"Does Daxia also make movies?"
"Are there any good movies in Daxia?"
That attitude of neglect and contempt was deeply engraved in his mind.
It's only been a few years, and the situation seems to be reversed!
He was not wrong. This young man, oh no, now he should also call him Mr. Kobayashi - is the one who can bring Daxia Film to a new level.
Guo Zhenqi:
Congratulations to Daxia filmmaker Wu Kong for his film "Resident Evil," which grossed $750 million in just 8 days! You are a source of honor for Daxia!
He couldn't wait any longer. The movie hadn't been released yet, so it was too early to congratulate him, but he had been waiting for this day for too long.
Daxia’s first film was directed by Guo Zhenqi’s teacher Zhang Kai. At that time, they went abroad to study for a long time.
He will always remember what his teacher said to him.
"We will become better and stronger, and so will the film industry."
Teacher Zhang Kai has passed away for many years, and his unfinished work was handed over to Guo Zhenqi.
Director Guo did not disappoint everyone. Over the years, he has been working hard to overcome difficulties in the film industry and lead the way for future generations.
And today, he knows that the successor he found is far better than him!
Many filmmakers issued congratulatory statements, and for a moment, it seemed as if the film industry was celebrating the New Year.
Although the box office of "Resident Evil" cannot represent everything, the filmmakers of China have taken a very important step!
This star not only illuminates Daxia, but also begins to shine around the world!
