When the box office statistics of "Home Imperial" were recorded on the first weekend, all of North America was shocked. It sold $18.87 million in three days on December 24, 25 and 26, leaving the second-ranked "Mr. Duss" and the third-ranked "48 Hours".
The biggest doubt that is now facing the media and Hollywood filmmakers is what is the origin of Oriental Film Company, the producer of "Home Imposses", and why haven't you heard of it before?
In the North American box office list in 1982, a total of 4 movies had a box office of over 100 million as of November.
After entering December, several movies have had strong box offices, including "Mr. Duss" (translated by "My Fair Lady") released on December 17, which has sold more than 80 million yuan, and will be the fifth movie this year to have a box office of over 100 million yuan.
Some box office analysis experts estimate that "Home Imperial" is likely to become the sixth film in North America with a box office of over 100 million yuan.
Although the first weekend box office can be used as a reference for the final box office, it is not absolute.
For example, the total box office of "Starship Trek 2" released this summer was only 79 million in North America, but the box office in the first three days was more than 14 million.
(Some people may not imagine that this is because the box office for three days on weekends is much higher than that on weekdays)
"ET Alien", which was released at the same time as "Starship Trek 2", had a box office of only 11 million in the first weekend, far lower than "Starship Trek 2".
But the total box office of "ET" in North America was 360 million, more than four times that of "Starship Trek 2".
In general, how much the final box office of a movie can be depends on the potential of the movie.
But no matter what, the first weekend box office of "Home Imperial" of 18.87 million yuan has broken Hollywood's box office record and will not be broken by "Star Wars 3" until next year.
This is thanks to Christmas, because the first three days of "Home Imperial" will be December 24, 25 and 26.
In addition, this is another Christmas family movie, and the screen of 1,050 yuan eventually increased to 1,320 yuan, and it was often full, creating a box office myth of selling 18.87 million yuan in three days.
"Sister Royal 2" is much worse, with a total box office of only more than 9 million in two weeks of release, which is only half of the box office of "Home Imperial" in three days of release.
Moreover, the box office will only decline after Christmas, and the final box office of "Sister Royal 2" will probably not exceed 20 million.
The reason for this situation is that, on the one hand, the box office competition in American movies on Christmas is too fierce, and Chinese urban action movies are not too likable; on the other hand, American audiences have gradually lost the freshness of popular urban action movies like "The Royal Sister". In the past two years, many Hollywood action movies have also slightly added Chinese Kung Fu elements, although they are inappropriate.
The craze for "Home Imperial" did not fade as Christmas passed, and the following weeks remained full of viewers.
Especially those children, after reading it once, begging their parents to watch it for the second time, and then watch it for the third time.
As soon as a child enters the cinema, it often means that adults also buy tickets to watch movies. When they buy two or three, or even four or five, the box office can only be described as soaring.
In just three and a half weeks, the box office of "Home Imperial" in North America successfully exceeded 100 million yuan, becoming another big movie with a box office of 100 million yuan after "Mr. Duss".
Compared with the excitement of Kang Jianfei, the publisher and the screening party, millions of parents and teachers in the United States have a headache.
After watching "Home Imposses", parents and teachers became substitutes for stupid thieves in the film.
Children set up various institutions at home or in school, and adults will be hit if they are not careful. Maybe they are soaked in the door, or they fall down by butter.
So some parents shouted: "Home Imperial" has taught the children badly!
"Hollywood Reporter" commented: "Home Imperial" is undoubtedly the biggest box office dark horse at the end of the year. It is not only a family comedy, but also an excellent and warm movie that is worth watching by audiences of all ages.
However, more media are focusing on the actors and directors of "Home Imperial". Kang Jianfei is too lazy to take any English name, and the director's signature is Kang Jianfei (the same is true for the Roman pinyin), and he didn't even change his surname, which made many Americans think that the director's surname is Fei.
Such a weird name quickly reminded American media workers of the dark horse "The Royal Sister" two years ago.
The director of that movie has a similar name, called JianfeiKang.
Cindy Freda, the young actor who plays Kevin in the film, was also found out. Cindy's mother said in an interview with reporters: ...Yes, the director is Asian.It may be Japanese, Korean, or Chinese.You know, Asians look similar... The director often praises my son Cindy as a acting genius. Do you know how long it took to film "Home Imperial"?It took less than 8 days from starting the computer to finishing the filming. You should know that Cindy took three days to shoot a children's clothing advertisement last time...
As soon as the news of Cindy's mother's interview came out, it caused another uproar.How can it be believed that a film with a box office of over 100 million yuan was filmed in less than 8 days?
The Los Angeles Evening News commented: Obviously, Cindy's mother lied.Maybe she was so happy that she was a little unscrupulous. You should know that after the hit "Home Imperial" hit, the little boy's pay had soared to $300,000.Perhaps, when the box office of "Home Imperial" exceeds 150 million, Cindy's pay will rise even higher.
The New York Times said: It is hard to believe that "Home Imp" was written by a Chinese director, because it is not just a superficial comedy, it also expresses the traditional concept of family and family affection among Americans.That Chinese director obviously has an American heart...

Henry Chels took Kang Jianfei to Alan Ryder's office. After saying a few words, he smiled and nodded at Kang Jianfei, and left early alone.
Alan Ryder, the youngest, first praised Lin Jian, who played the guest role in the translator: This lady is very beautiful.
Thank you, I am Kang's fiancée.Guan Zhilin smiled happily, saying that Kang Jianfei couldn't understand what she said, so she directly upgraded herself from her girlfriend to her fiancée.
Oh, I'm a little jealous of Mr. Kang.Alan Ryder, little, smiled.
Kang Jianfei asked Guan Zhilin: What did this foreigner say?
Lin Guan explained: He praised me for being beautiful, I said I was your girlfriend, and then he said you were lucky.
Kang Jianfei said: Say thank you for your praise.
Guan Zhilin translated: It’s useless for my boyfriend to say you’re jealous, he will love me for the rest of his life.
Haha, you guys are very good, Alan Ryder laughed and said, Kang, I'll take back what I said last time.
Kang Jianfei asked: What do you mean by asking me to see a psychiatrist?
Alan Ryder Jr. said: Yes, you did something very crazy.If it weren't for the box office of "Home Im" that was put there, I wouldn't have believed that someone could have produced a super hit movie in less than two weeks.
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: Is this considered a disguised praise?
You can understand this way, Alan Ryder Jr. said, "I heard from Henry that you are going to sell the copyrights of "Home Imperial" and the sequel?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said: I have this idea.
Alan Ryder, Jr., asked: How much do you plan to sell?
Kang Jianfei stretched out a slap and said: 50 million US dollars.
Alan Ryder, little, shook his head and said: Too expensive.
Not expensive, Kang Jianfei smiled and said, with the popularity of "Home Imperial", you can earn at least $20 million by selling movie videos.More than that, don’t you think "Home Imperial" is suitable for adapting into a game?In addition to the income from TV stations and other aspects, if 20th Century Fox operates seriously, I believe that the income in the surrounding area will be more than 30 million.
Lin Guan, who was translator for the two, was swallowing her saliva when she heard it. The surrounding area of a movie could make $30 million. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she would definitely think she was lying.
Alan Ryder Jr. asked: Since you know how profitable you are, why do you still have to sell it to Fox?
Kang Jianfei spread his hands and said: It's so troublesome, and I don't have various channels from your company, so it's difficult to maximize the income of this movie.If I sell it directly to 20th Century Fox, it will be beneficial to you and me.
Alan Ryder, little, nodded: It's a very rational idea, but it's still too expensive.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: After 20th Century Fox bought the copyright of "Home Imperial", he could shoot several sequels, and the profit he earned may be hundreds of millions. It is not expensive if I only have 50 million yuan.
Alan Ryder Jr. said: It’s too expensive, how about 30 million?
Kang Jianfei was too lazy to talk to him, so he stood up and said: Well, maybe I can go find Warner, MGM, etc. Maybe they will buy it for 55 million.
Wait for a moment, Alan Ryder, little hurriedly shouted, 40 million, there is no more.
Kang Jianfei turned around and said with a smile: For our friendship, what about 45 million?
Okay, it's a deal.Alan Ryder, little, said, "Long live friendship."
When the North American box office of "Home Imperial" rose to 130 million, Kang Jianfei reached an agreement with 20th Century Fox to sell the copyrights of "Home Imperial" peripherals and sequels to 20th Century Fox for $45 million.
Kang Jianfei doesn't want to shoot sequels anymore because this movie can no longer be made with new ideas, and the box office of the sequel will inevitably be greatly reduced.
It is a very cost-effective deal to be able to sell the copyright of "Home Imperial" at a good price when the first movie is hit.
Kang Jianfei is really short of money now. Not only is he owed the bank 150 million Hong Kong dollars, but he also bought hundreds of acres of land between Tseung Kwan O and Tseung Kwun O, and the construction of the film and television city requires a lot of capital investment.
