Chapter 668 (1/2)
When Xiao Yunhai swept the world with Infernal Affairs, several Hollywood films appeared.
The action film fatal hunter, starring Munk and Gwyneth, was released worldwide on the evening of February 18.
Lianmei film company invested $840 million for the film, which is a typical Hollywood action blockbuster. On the night of its premiere, the box office reached $220 million, which was well-known. Fans in North America gave it a score of 7.96.
Unfortunately, it met Xiao Yunhai's Infernal Affairs.
On February 19, the two films formally contested. Infernal Affairs had a global box office of 1.045 billion Chinese dollars, while the deadly Hunter only earned 312 million US dollars. Not only did it lose miserably in China, but even the main North American cinema was severely crushed by Infernal Affairs with a gap of US $115 million.
On February 20, the ultra-high temperature of Infernal Affairs finally dropped in Southeast Asia, from 294 million to 143 million. However, the world box office of 1.145 billion still ranked first, mainly because Infernal Affairs was also released in Europe and other countries, making up for the shortage of Asian box office.
As a result, as of 24:00 on February 20, according to the exchange rate of that day, the box office of Infernal Affairs had reached a terrible 5.6 billion Chinese dollars.
Once the news came out, the whole Chinese entertainment industry was dead.
The director, actor and media, who used to ridicule Infernal Affairs as a rotten film, were beaten up by this achievement.
Reporters interviewed the National Teacher Mo Kaixuan and said, ”Mo director, have you ever gone to the cinema to watch Infernal Affairs?”? What do you think of it? ”
Mo Kaixuan frowned and said, ”I didn't go to see the film, so I can't evaluate it.”
”But we have a reporter who took pictures of you going to starlight cinema.”
”You are wrong. I have been preparing my costume blockbuster ”Jingke stabbing Qin” recently. I don't have time to see his film
”Mo director, Mr. Xiao has made a total of four films, and the box office has exceeded 25 billion yuan, becoming the director with the highest cumulative box office in China. Some netizens even call him the first director of China. What's your opinion on this? ”
At this time, Mo Kaixuan's face was already very ugly. He waved his hand and said perfunctorily: ”it is good for Huaxia film circle that Huaxia can become a world-class director. I'm sorry, I have something else. We'll talk about it later. ”
After that, Mo Kaixuan left in a hurry.
It's also bad luck for him. He wanted to announce his return to the cinema by suppressing the newly rising Xiao Yunhai. Unexpectedly, he ran into such a big nail as Infernal Affairs, which made him lose face.
Naturally, Mo Kaixuan also had a trace of jealousy towards Xiao Yunhai.
On February 20, the historical film Caesar the great, produced by Warner Brothers, and the animated film jungle adventures, produced by Disney film company, made their debut on global theaters.
On the first night of the premiere, the performance was very good, ”Caesar” won 340 million US dollars box office, and the cartoon ”jungle adventures” was even more powerful. It showed four consecutive shows and took away 427 million US dollars. People have to sigh that children's money is really the easiest to earn.
On February 21, a box office battle was launched in the world for the police and bandits film Infernal Affairs, the historical film Caesar the great, the action film the deadly hunter, and the cartoon jungle adventures.
Almost all the filmmakers in the world are staring at them, and the media in various countries are guessing who can get the first place.
Some people say it's Infernal Affairs. They think that the potential of this film is far from exhausted. With its high reputation, it can win at least one billion Chinese dollars at the global box office.
Some people speculate that it is Caesar, because it has just been released, fans have a sense of expectation, and it should be no problem to win the championship.
