In fact, for Li Donglai, the release of the album is like a task relief, far less magical than the media said that it is truly integrated into the music circle.

"Just make a living." Li Donglai thought pretendingly. If this is something that makes people listen, he will definitely be jealous and will be jealous.

After releasing this album, it was unexpectedly popular and finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, the new movie "The Grandmaster" of the King of Sunglasses, which is very popular in China, was officially unveiled in North America and received unanimous praise.

However, there was also a situation where the box office was very popular but not popular. The box office in the first week of release on March 7 was only 165,000, which was also unavoidable. Of course, the box office was also good in Chinese films, and it was already the limit to be able to make it to the top ten Chinese in the US box office. Although the starring Zhang Ziyi and Liang Chaowei went to the US to promote themselves, they did not play much role.

As of the end of March, the mainland's box office was 290 million, which is approximately US$46,621,546; the Hong Kong box office was 21,252,833, which is approximately US$2,762,868. The Taiwan box office was 40,989,388 NT$1,647,404, Singapore box office was 882,814, and Thailand box office was 243,000.

Of course, the main overseas battlefield of King of Sunglasses is Europe, but its achievements are limited. As expected, many European countries, including Russia, received little response. US$7610,000 was the total report in Europe and the United States, with a global box office of more than 60 million. It also made King of Sunglasses the highest box office movie.

Despite this, the overseas performance of "The Grandmaster" is still called the Chinese-language film by domestic media.

The results of "The Grandmaster" have brought signs of ice breaking to the export of Chinese-language films that have fallen to freezing points in seven years. Today, domestic films are keen to lose money. However, most of the box office results are not ideal. Many movies that have broken box office records in China have only box offices of hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands overseas.

Big names like Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige are getting weaker and weaker in overseas box offices, and the performance of "The Grandmaster" is not accidental. It has made strategic directions in overseas distribution, marketing, publicity and services that transcend cultural differences. It is regarded as finding new channels and directions for Chinese-language films to export, and its overall operation is of some inspiration to the export of Chinese-language films.

At the same time, it can also be seen that "Ancient Costume + Kung Fu + Martial Arts" is still China's unique cultural label in North America. Until now, most Chinese-language films that have achieved certain achievements in North America are still Kung Fu movies. 8 Chinese-language films in the US box office rankings are in this type.

But after Li Dong watched the movie, he felt a pity.

The filming is really beautiful. Unfortunately, it is too restrained, and the mainland version has been severely deleted. The audience is looking forward to the final battle between Yipin and Ip Man, but nothing happened. Zhang Zhen has been busy for several years and has become the biggest supporting actor. The North American distribution rights were bought by the blood-sucking company Weinstein, and the ending was unsightly. No wonder it was not pleasing.

If he had continued to follow up, maybe the Phantom would have taken over the overseas release of "The Grandmaster". King of Sunglasses has been in the Chinese film market for so many years and has won numerous awards. The Cannes judges are aloof. Li Donglai was a popular newcomer not long after his debut at that time. Although his movies have won the highest box office in the world, it cannot change the perception of some pretentious people. King of Sunglasses also invited Li Donglai to play a guest role at the time. For his filming speed, Li Donglai, who met the fast gunner, could only find something wrong.

The two sides had a little unhappy at a cocktail party, and then there was no communication.

"That's it."

Li Donglai didn't care too much. Compared to King of Sunglasses, he cared more about another Hong Kong master's work. Although this person won not many awards, his work was truly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his popularity and box office appeal was more than ten times higher than King of Sunglasses.

After temporarily organizing some jobs in the United States, he returned home alone.

Last year, after "Lost in Thailand" just created a box office nuclear bomb, the new work of director Zhou Xingxing, co-produced by Phantom and Starlight Film Company, "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" has opened a large-scale release in Southeast Asia.

Zhou Xingxing is already covered in white hair. Comparing Liu Dehua at the same time as him, he knows how deficient he is. This look also made him think repeatedly, and finally decided not to star in his own movie. This is also the first time he has been engaged in a movie behind the scenes and is not on the screen.

Zhou Xingxing, who has not released a new work for many years, said goodbye to the stage and become a director behind the scenes after launching a new film. Although he did not participate in the performance, the style of the whole film is still Zhou's nonsense, and Huang Nee and Heraldry actors are also popular in the mainland. Huang Nee is one of the protagonists of the first domestic film to exceed 1 billion box office. After Heraldry's studio relies on the Phantom, the luck of the star has become more and more smooth in recent years.

Their popularity also provided considerable help to the box office of this film. Although it cannot be compared with many classic comedies of Zhou Xingxing back then, this film is still called a Zhou comedies worth watching.

In addition, Stephen Chow, who has been keen on special effects in recent years, has once again played with special effects scenes in this comedy. Although with the current special effects level, this is still a fatal injury to the film. However, the release of IMAX and 3D due to special effects also makes the film more advantageous in box office, with an average ticket price of up to 41 yuan, far higher than other films released at the same time.

Therefore, this "Journey to the West" starring Heralds, Huang Neck, Shuqi and Luo Zhixiang was officially released in China and has also become the most popular film during the Spring Festival.

It is worthy of being Stephen Chow. It only took one day to release, and received 78.96 million yuan in a single day, breaking the box office record of 68 million Chinese-language films held by "Painted Skin 2" in one fell swoop. In addition, the box office of 2 million yuan previously released in mainland China reached 80.07 million yuan in the first week, successfully winning the first mainland weekly box office championship in 2013.

The Hollywood production "Cloud Map" and "007: The Sky-breaking Intention" released at the same time were all defeated.

Another New Year blockbuster "The Village Evening Better Better" released on the same day as "Journey to the West", has a slightly pitiful box office. This movie is directed by Zhang Yibai, director of "Turning Love to the End", starring Liang Jiahui, Wang Baoqiang, Wang Luodan and others. In addition, there are also guest stars such as Tong Dawei, Guo Fucheng, Xu Jinlei, and Zhang Ziyi. In terms of the cast alone, this is also an all-star New Year comedy with box office appeal.

However, the box office situation after the release of this film was very unsatisfactory. The box office in a single day was only 7.45 million, only one-tenth of the "Journey to the West" released on the same day, ranking eighth on the box office list last week.

Hong Kong likes to play this kind of casual New Year's Day, and accumulates a lot of stars and plays a farce. In the past, they have repeatedly achieved big box offices in Hong Kong, so they targeted the mainland and switched lively places from Hong Kong to rural areas.

Unfortunately, mainland audiences are generally no longer interested in this kind of responsive New Year comedy. The movies that stars gather together always feel that they are temporarily collected, and the quality is very difficult. At the same time, the quality of this film is indeed relatively mediocre, and most of the viewers who have watched it are disappointed. This feedback has also caused a further decline in the box office of the film.

In the second week of February, the Western "qingen" festival is scheduled.

The second shot of the Phantom of China in 2013 is adapted from the classic Japanese pure love movie "101 Marriage Proposal".

This movie was adapted and copyrighted by Li Donglai personally went to Japan to discuss. It brought together Sister Chiling and the new comedy king Huang Bo to stage the scene of a counterattack goddess. After its release, it performed well, with a box office of over 100 million yuan in a single week. It was released for 6 days, and the box office of over 121 million yuan in a single week. This result was still a box office under the impact of "Journey to the West", which is really rare.

Li Donglai also interacted on Weibo and sent a "big red envelope" to Sister Zhiling and Huang Bo.

Huang Bo also joked on Weibo after receiving the "big red envelope": "The big boss is just stingy. If such a big boss is still static, at least he can make a dynamic picture to show off." Sister Zhiling was much more polite, and replied in a coquettish tone, "I finally fulfilled my mission, and I breathed a sigh of relief."

But in the final analysis, this week is still a formal and extensive release of "Journey to the West".

On the "Qingren" Festival alone, the revenue exceeded 100 million yuan per day, reaching 123 million yuan, breaking the previous box office record of 114 million yuan per day maintained by Transformers 3. In one week of release, it also created a high box office of 560 million yuan per week, breaking multiple records. The total box office successfully exceeded 600 million yuan, reaching 653 million yuan.

The number of viewers in the movie "Journey to the West" alone can reach 13.6 million in a week, which even exceeds the total number of viewers in the mainland in many cases in a single week.

Korean media are actually very concerned about the situation in the mainland, not just South Korea, but Southeast Asian countries, including the United States. Since the film "Lost in Thailand" created a billion box office during the Spring Festival last year, it has paid more attention to the Chinese box office market. This year, "Journey to the West" hit a new high box office, with 13.6 million viewers. This is a weekly result of a movie. It is already an annual box office record in South Korea and will break the highest record. No wonder they are envious.

According to data released by the Film Bureau of the State Radio and Television General Administration, the national movie box office maintained a steady and rapid growth in 2012, reaching 17.073 billion yuan, an increase of 30.18% over the previous year. This is also the tenth consecutive year that China's movie box office has achieved a significant increase in the tenth consecutive year since the implementation of the film industrialization reform in 2002. Compared with the box office of 920 million yuan in 2002, it has increased by 18.5 times in just ten years, setting a record high.

After becoming the world's third largest film producer in 2010, the total box office of Chinese films has surpassed Japan and become the world's second largest box office market.

In this year, a total of 22 domestic films entered the "billion yuan club", 7 films reached a box office of more than 200 million yuan, and 3 films reached a box office of more than 700 million yuan, all exceeding the previous years. Among them, there are not many films produced by Phantom, but they are particularly pleasing to the eye.
