“The movie’s release schedule is not very good. After all, “Fast and Furious 6” is also released at this time, but I hope that this film can withstand such a large pressure and surpass the achievements of “Painted Skin”. “Painted Skin 2″ is equal, and it is qualified.”

“Painted Skin” is US$203 million worldwide, and “Painted Skin 2” is US$267 million worldwide. This is the first magical work of Chinese film.

“Now You See Me” is about a group of high IQ thieves, using the most cutting-edge technology, using the gorgeous stage as a cover, to complete the theft in full view. In the end, he completed the path of robbing the rich and helping the poor and finding the truth about magic. Originally, Shao Shuaijun hoped that Jack Gyllenhill would come to support the stage and take the lead role, but Gyllenhill did not have enough schedule to shoot “Thor 2: The Dark World” and ended up with Mark Lu, the Hulk in the Women’s Federation. Fallow plays.

From May 32 to June 2, “Now You See Me” was launched in North America for $28.05 million, which is a pretty good start. After all, the budget is only $75 million. On the second weekend of June, June 7th, “Now You See Me” began to be released overseas, and “The Legend of the White Snake: Legend of the Green Snake” was also released overseas in 39 countries and regions.

The overseas box office is very gratifying.

Domestic audiences can’t wait to experience the superhero blockbuster of this Chinese-language movie.

“Oh, I didn’t grab the IMAX-3D movie ticket for the premiere on June 14. Whoever does it, let me.” Netizen Xiao Mingwa exclaimed in a message on the Internet.

“Neither do I, but it seems that Golden Harvest Studios has reserved half of the on-site ticket sales, hoping to line up to buy them.” Netizen yhdxzx1 said.

The audiences in the mainland have become hungry and thirsty for watching movies. Not only the movie tickets were swept away, but the trailers were also watched over and over. The number of clicks exceeded several billion and became Du Niang’s unquestionable search list.

On June 14, “Superman: Man of Steel” in North America began to wreak havoc, and “White Snake: Legend of the Green Snake” in the mainland began to wreak havoc. CCTV also gave a 30-second report on “News Broadcast” to help promote the film.

Fighting fiercely all night and day, the next day, Time Online gave box office statistics.

“RMB 12 million for the midnight show, RMB 13,600 for the premiere day!”

Not as fierce as “Iron Man 3”, but it is definitely a new record for Chinese movies!

The 14th was Friday, and the following two days ended on the weekend. “The Legend of the White Snake: Legend of the Green Snake” was released for three days and won RMB 44.26 million, which is a new height for the local Chinese film industry!

Overseas expansion to 76 countries and regions, this week harvested 69 million US dollars. So far, the total box office of the movie has reached 186 million US dollars.

“Xiaoqing, this is going against the sky! The US$321 million Chinese film champion of “Old Boy”, I am afraid that it will not be guaranteed.” Netizen Star Element exclaimed in disbelief.

“The storm of Chinese-language movies has risen, and the four major magical series will surely take Chinese-language movies to new heights! Looking forward to the start of the filming of “The Yellow Emperor: The Battle of the Deer” directed by Shao Shuaijun himself!” Prince Ma shouted on the scarf that the movie is so enjoyable.

Movies have not only gained a box office, but also a good reputation.

Time.com has a vividness of 91 and a user rating of 8.1. As a Chinese special effects blockbuster, it is not easy to get such praise. Three weeks later, “The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of Green Snake” earned a total of 860 million yuan in the mainland, and accumulated a global gross of 268 million US dollars. It surpassed “Painted Skin 2” and successfully completed the height that Shao Shuaijun expected.

Now the potential of overseas and mainland China has basically been exhausted, and movies have finally landed in North America, fighting head-on with Hollywood blockbusters. A large part of the success of a movie depends on the battle situation in Hollywood’s base camp.

This week’s two new North American films “Hot Police Flower” and “Shocking Crisis”, plus last week’s amazing performance of “Monsters University” and “Doomsday”, and the third week of Warner Bros.’s $225 million-built “Superman” :man of Steel”. It can be said that this is a very competitive week for summer vacation.

Three days later, the results of the battle were announced.

“Superman: Man of Steel” ranked sixth with US$2016 million, “Shocking Crisis” ranked fifth with US$24.65 million, “Doomsday” ranked fourth with US$27.89 million, and “Hot Police Flower” ranked No. with US$38.5 million. three.

The championship still belongs to “Monsters University” with US$46.18 million, but “The Legend of the White Snake: Legend of the Green Snake” only ranks second with a slight gap of US$2 million. The first six movies all exceeded US$20 million, and Green Snake’s US$44.18 million, the gold content is definitely full of gold!

“The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of Green Snake” broke through fierce battles in North America, and its reputation was strong at the box office. The sailing work produced by Shao Shuaijun performed outstandingly!”

“Chinese film has a beautiful victory in Hollywood.”

“Where there is Shao Shuaijun, there are countless box offices. This theorem applies not only to Hollywood, but also to any place.”

“Shao Shuaijun created the magical branch of Chinese movies, and made this theme shine. He is a true movie master!”

Green Snake was highly praised by the Hollywood media, but unfortunately, director Chen Jiashang was completely ignored. Because this is Hollywood and because Shao Shuaijun has conquered this place, all the halo in the eyes of the media belongs to Shao Shuaijun. As for Chen Jia, I’m sorry, out of ten newspapers, there may only be one newspaper. Incidentally…

Among the high praises, “The Legend of the White Snake: The Legend of Green Snake” has accumulated a total of US$319 million worldwide, and it is only one step away from “Old Boy”. In the second week of North America, “Despicable Me 2”, the only anticipated release from the world, was released at the same time as Disney’s hundreds of millions of dollars-built peerless blockbuster “The Lone Ranger”.

“The Lone Ranger” is adapted from the super-popular show “Legend of Ranger” of the last century. Disney spent $250 million in investment and invited Hollywood’s most expensive man, Johnny Depp, to star and direct “Pirates of the Caribbean”. Great director Gore Wibinski served as the director.

“”The Lone Ranger” is coming, Xiaoqing will be run over to death.” Mainland netizens wailed.

Shao Shuaijun also shook his head, his memory before rebirth has expired, and all plans are arranged by the company. Originally, North America was scheduled to be released, and I never thought about how much box office “White Snake: Legend of the Green Snake” could get in North America, so I was not afraid of strangling the blockbuster, but Xiaoqing was really awesome.

I can only say that the fortune is not good. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
