Chapter 470: Celebration Banquet of "Those Years"

The Book of Rites says: "Husband's etiquette begins with the coming of age."

Coming of age ceremony is one of the traditional customs of China. Generally speaking, men "come of age at the age of 20 and begin to learn etiquette", and women "come of age at the age of 15 and marry at the age of 20".

Of course, the current Civil Code stipulates that men may not marry before the age of 22, and women may not marry before the age of 20.

Unlike before, a strong man cannot marry an old woman, and an old man cannot marry a strong wife. If a woman does not marry at the age of 17, her parents are guilty; if a man does not marry at the age of 20, his parents are guilty.

An Xiaoxi's coming of age ceremony - in fact, it is her 18th birthday. I don't know why, but nowadays, when it comes to coming of age ceremony, there is always a faint sense of vulgarity, as if it is to be packed and given to someone - was held together with the celebration banquet of "Those Years".

The main name of this event is still the celebration banquet.

A red carpet was laid outside the venue, and the box office of "Those Years" from various places were hung on both sides.

The box office in the mainland is 111 million yuan.

The box office in Taiwan is 450 million New Taiwan dollars, equivalent to 102 million yuan.

The box office in Hong Kong was 63.86 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 68.9688 million RMB.

The box office in Singapore was 2.26 million US dollars, and in Malaysia was 1.39 million US dollars, totaling 3.65 million US dollars, equivalent to 29.56 million RMB.

The box office in Japan was 800 million yen, equivalent to 59.6 million RMB.

The box office in Bangbang was 1.88 billion won, equivalent to 14.8 million RMB.

In addition, there are some small places, such as Siam, etc., where the box office revenue is average, about a few hundred thousand US dollars.

According to statistics, the global total box office of "Those Years" is 380 million RMB.

This number makes countless big directors envious and jealous.

Who would have thought that "Those Years" not only had a huge domestic box office, but also had a huge overseas box office.

It's not that everyone doesn't pay attention to the overseas box office, but that they don't pay attention to it at all.

In general, they sell overseas copyrights directly, and no matter how big the box office is, it's a one-time deal.

For example, "A World Without Thieves" has no overseas box office at all, because there is no large-scale release overseas. It was only shown in small venues for a period of time, and the response was not so good, so it was completely abandoned.

Buyouts can at least guarantee income, but the box office share is even worse.

Those who are unfamiliar with the place are likely to be cheated and even the distribution costs cannot be recovered.

Like "Those Years", there are Chinese films participating in the investment, Lin Jianyue in Hong Kong, Yang Dengkui in Taiwan, and the film does have a market, so it can achieve the current results.

Envy is envy, but it is highly likely that others will not be able to imitate it.

At around 5 pm, the guests were arranged to start walking the red carpet.

Judging from the feedback received by Hao Yun, most of the people who received the invitation letter for the celebration banquet of "Those Years" will attend, some have to rush to come, and some have already stayed in the arranged hotel to rest.

Basically, they are all producers, production parties, and everyone's good friends.

Because the budget was sufficient - a huge sum of 2.2 or 3 million, the place was very high-end, with 40 or 50 tables set up, intending to put a perfect end to "Those Years".

There were countless media on both sides of the red carpet. This celebration banquet did not refuse the media, nor did they need to spend money to invite the media.

The media would flock to the movie that was a big hit at the box office.

The main creators of the movie, such as Hao Yun'an and Xiao Xi, and their own people, such as Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun, walked on the red carpet as soon as possible.

As the host, they were the opening guests of the celebration banquet red carpet.

Jay Chou and Chen Guanxi also came.

The box office of "Initial D" in the mainland was 75 million, which was a bit far from exceeding 100 million, and the single-day box office in the later period had fallen below 300,000. There was really no point in delaying it, so it was completed a few days ago.

The box office of this movie was actually not low, and there was still 41.86 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

In the Hong Kong movie market, which was already in decline, it was definitely a very worthwhile achievement to show off.

It was still being shown in Japan, and it was estimated to be between 600 and 800 million yen.

What is really outrageous is the box office in Taiwan. In Jay Chou's home province, Taiwan, the box office of this movie only received NT$68 million, which is not even close to the NT$450 million of "Those Years".

This result is shocking.

It seems that Jay Chou can no longer be arrogant.

The "awkward" relationship line makes the reputation of "Initial D" far behind "Those Years".

In other words, even without Jay Chou, Hao Yun's "Those Years" would not have a bad box office in Taiwan. The audience in the mature market is obviously more likely to be attracted by the plot of the movie, rather than one or two stars.

In addition, "Initial D" was once caught in the news of "box office" fraud.

At first, there was a media report that "Initial D" falsely reported the box office.

The origin of the incident was that one week after the film was released, the distributor once announced that the box office of the film was as high as NT$35 million, but the statistics of the Film Special Fund Office showed that the total box office of the film in the first seven days was about NT$21 million. This difference of NT$10 million became the focus of the media.

Since there is no perfect computer ticketing system in the mainland, the box office data is submitted by each cinema to the cinema chain company and then to the distributor.

During this period, there will inevitably be differences.

For example, it cannot be ruled out that the cinema will underreport the box office figures, so that it can give less money to the distribution company.

On the other hand, the film distribution company may overreport, using high box office to prove the appeal of the film and win more audiences.

In response to the doubts about the film's box office, the distributor of "Initial D" issued a statement on Sina.com, saying that the box office market of "Initial D" has far exceeded the conventional effect of ordinary movies.

It is believed that anyone who underestimates the box office of "Initial D" now is a manifestation of lack of confidence in the Chinese film market. In fact, the box office of "Initial D" is still in an unbelievable high box office and continues to increase.

Facts have proved that "Initial D" did not disappoint.

Its performance deserves the title of the hottest movie of the year - provided that it is not compared with "Those Years".

"Initial D" held a celebration banquet in Hong Kong some time ago, but the scale was relatively small, and only the main creators and some media were invited.

If it was held in the mainland, Hao Yun would definitely go.

Generally, the celebration banquet of the movie version is held during the release period, which is a means of publicity.

If some movies are a little shameless, they can even hold two or three celebration banquets during the one-month release period, exceeding 10 million, 30 million, 50 million... As long as you want to brag, you can always find a point to promote.

Only Hao Yun's "Those Years" was held after the release.

Apart from a lively celebration, it has no significance in promoting the box office.

However, Hao Yun insisted on holding a celebration banquet after the release. He now has the confidence to speak, and other producers have no choice but to secretly complain that this guy is now too powerful.

In order to pick up girls, he doesn't take his uncles and aunts into consideration at all.

A group of people took various photos on the red carpet, including Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Wang Shunliu, Zhang Songwen and others.

In order to attend the celebration banquet of "Those Years", "Crazy Stone" is not crazy anymore. The production there has been completely stopped. Ning Hao will rush back to continue filming after attending the celebration banquet.

Not only "Crazy Stone" stopped production, but Jiang Wen also brought Zhou Yun here.

The box office of his apprentice is 380 million, so he must show up.

During the release of "Those Years", no one dared to deal with Hao Yun.

Even Song Zhu, who doesn't know how to live or die and dares to make up any rumors to attract attention, only dares to say that An Xiaoxi is a deformed person, and dares not say that Hao Yun is mentally ill.

At least there is a certain market for saying that Hao Yun is mentally ill.

Now that "Those Years" is over, even if there will be cooperation with the big guys in the future, there will definitely be so-called cultural people who start to spit on Hao Yun, saying that if I don't kill you, I will just disgust you.

Even those big guys don't want Hao Yun to be too clean.

If he is too clean, they will not be needed.

It is also not convenient for them to control more discourse power in the subsequent cooperation.

At this time, the only big guy who can wholeheartedly and unreservedly support Hao Yun is his uncle Jiang.

With Jiang Wen here, villains cannot be prevented, but big waves are very effective.

Because most of the people who can stir up a lot of wind are in contact with Jiang Wen, and they have to give Jiang Wen some face.

Uncle Jiang abandoned his pregnant wife and stood in front of the media with Hao Yun in his arms, letting them take photos. Later, he invited Mr. Xie Jin to come over.

The three of them stood apart one by one.

Many media were pressing the shutter like crazy, as they thought such a scene was very rare.

If Hao Yun becomes more successful in the future, this photo of three generations of master and apprentice will be a kind of historical film heritage.
