When "Infernal Affairs" was released overseas, only the company's people were out promoting it, and none of the actors went.
In South Korea, island countries, Southeast Asian countries and other countries, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" on the first day of its release was not ideal, and the screening rate was very low.
Converted into domestic box office, the total is less than 20 million.
There were some surprises in Europe.
The box office on the first day reached 6 million euros.
The publicity of Chen Muyang's name over there was surprisingly effective.
A group of people saw the promotional poster of "Infernal Affairs" at the entrance of the cinema.
"Oh my god, that's China No. 7, Yangshen?"
"Yes, it's him. He went to make a movie?"
"From what I understand, Yang Shen was originally a star in China, and only later took up football."
"Yes, the song 'We Are the Champions' that won the Grammy Award was sung by Yang Shen. It's a pity that he didn't go to receive the award."
"Come on, let's go watch this movie."
A group of people walked into the cinema and bought tickets for "Infernal Affairs".
More than an hour later, they walked out of the cinema.
"It's shocking that Yang Shen could make such a wonderful movie!"
“Very, very, very beautiful!”
“I have to share this on Twitter.”
In this way, the daily box office of "Infernal Affairs" increased in the first two weeks of its release in Europe, and then slowly declined steadily.
The situation in North America is somewhat similar to that in Europe.
The first-day box office was $8 million.
Most of them went to see it for Chen Muyang's sake.
Unexpectedly, I was conquered by the plot of the movie.
Among them is a famous Hollywood director named Pace.
He has directed many classic blockbusters.
The science fiction blockbuster that ranked second in the National Day box office during the National Day screening in China was also his work.
However, the news sent back from China made him a little unbelievable!
A gangster film actually crushed his science fiction masterpiece!
This made him feel like a drama was being performed. The whole world knew that Chinese films were really not that good and their target audiences were not compatible with foreign audiences.
Ever since hearing that "Infernal Affairs" was about to be released worldwide, Pace has been waiting to see what this movie has to offer!
Inside a North American cinema.
Pace followed the crowd, bought a ticket, and waited for the movie to start.
After watching the movie, Pace was convinced.
He had to admit that this movie called "Infernal Affairs" amazed him, whether it was the plot, the actors' acting skills, or even the director's shooting techniques and editing methods.
On his personal social account, he recommended this Chinese movie called "Infernal Affairs" to everyone.
As a result, "Infernal Affairs" quickly became famous in North America and its box office soared.
Within a week, it directly entered the top ten of the North American single-week box office rankings.
In China, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" has reached 8.13 billion yuan in the past month, far exceeding expectations.
However, this is not the end yet. "Infernal Affairs" has obtained an extension key, which will extend the release time by one week.
Therefore, "Infernal Affairs" was taken off the screens simultaneously around the world on November 7th.
The total box office in mainland China was 8.693 billion yuan.
The total box office of Hong Kong, Australia and Taiwan is 1.35 billion.
The total overseas box office reached $480 million.
In the end, "Infernal Affairs" ranked third in the global box office with a total box office of approximately 13 billion!
Become a new monument in the history of Chinese cinema!
And Chen Muyang became an international director overnight!
Countless netizens are already excited.
"Fuck, that's awesome!"
"I knew Infernal Affairs would work. The average ticket price in China is only 35 yuan, yet it managed to create a legend of over 8 billion!"
"I heard from a friend that the ticket price in North America is $8 per ticket, and in Europe it's 10 euros, which is much more expensive than in China."
“I wonder who will make the next domestic film that reaches this box office?”
"I think Lao Mouzi, Gangzi, Gezi and others are not good enough. I think it will take my brother Yang to succeed."
"It's really hard to imagine, over 13 billion. In the past, it would take years for a movie to exceed 2 billion."
"Infernal Affairs is a classic movie. It is worth the box office and worth savoring over and over again!"
"I wonder what Brother Yang's next movie will be?"
Chen Muyang's personal box office exceeded 20 billion, becoming the first person in the Chinese film and television industry!
Lin Qian also became the first Chinese actress to break the 10 billion box office.
The next step is to divide the profits.
Five percent of the total box office revenue will be deducted as a special fund for the development of the film industry, and 3.3 percent of related taxes and fees will be paid.
The remaining box office revenue is the shareable profit.
Fifty-seven percent of this will be retained by theaters and cinema chains.
The producer and distributor both belong to Tian Xia Zou Xing Company, and the investor holds a 20% share in the company.
So, looking at the more than 10 billion, there is actually not much left in our hands.
......
A five-star hotel in Yuzhou.
All the main creative teams of "Infernal Affairs" gathered together to hold a celebration party.
"Our film's success is inseparable from everyone's hard work. Let's not go home until we're drunk today!"
Chen Muyang held up his wine glass and looked around.
"Hey, the person we should thank the most is you. I suggest that we all toast to Director Chen." King Liu stood up and said to everyone.
After three rounds of drinks.
"Mu Yang, various film festivals will begin next month. Are you confident?" King Liu said.
"Where is King Liu?" Chen Muyang asked back.
