Chapter 249 Box Office on the First Day (3/6)
Box office is the only criterion for testing the success of a movie?
Is this sentence valid?
Obviously it is not true!
"Tiny Times" has a box office of nearly 400 million. Is this a successful movie?
Of course, movies have commercial attributes, but they also have artistic elements - the seventh largest art, not just for fun!
Art is usually a matter of high or low quality. Judging a work of art requires professional knowledge and artistic cultivation, and time to settle down. Therefore, many artists only start to be valuable after they die...
It is also true in movies. A successful movie cannot be determined by the box office alone.
But if you change this sentence to another title: evaluating commercial films as unsuccessful, the box office is the biggest basis.
That's very reasonable!
The pursuit of commercial films should be to maximize profitability. In China, it is called box office.
...
This promotion was scheduled for three days in China - and then it was to fly to South Korea, Japan and benzene...
In Shanghai promotion, Lu Xiaoran explained frankly: "I have no idea this time, I just want to make an entertainment film, and I don't want to convey any values!"
"If the film industry is completely unprofitable, we will not see so many good movies. Not every good movie is for profitable purposes, but the overall profitability of the film industry determines the height that movies can reach!"
"And I think it's difficult to make a profit if I don't choose commercial films!"
"South Korea and Niben are the first to open paintings, and Xijie Entertainment in South Korea is responsible for the distribution. They said the situation is very good. They mobilized more than 700,000 viewers on the first day. According to the current situation, it should be able to reach 6 million viewers..."
"In terms of Japanese benzene, the first day's box office seemed to be 200 million yen, well, they are all single-day box office champions..."
"... Of course I'm very happy!"
"Some people like popcorn blockbusters in cinemas, with shocking scenes and realistic effects, big stars, etc.; some people like art films, reflecting more human nature, problems, contradictions, etc. As a professional filmmaker, I also hope that our country's film industry will flourish and get better and better."
After the promotion ended, Lu Xiaoran was a little confused.
"Why are my box office and artistic questions today?"
Chen Zhixi replied: "… "Tiny Times" made a lot of money, and the media is hyping up the topic of artistic and commerciality."
"So, did I hit the wall?"
"Um."
"…Tiny Times is a fan movie, where does it come from? Forget it, how much does it have?”
"It's 46 million, and I haven't reached the Golden Field yet. I should be able to have 80 million today."
"Okay...you pay attention to the next day box office, which is related to whether the sequel can be launched!"
"I'm paying attention... To be honest, I think it's only 2.5 billion yen at most."
2.5 billion yen is equivalent to 160 million yuan…
"If you can get 2 billion, the sequel can be started. Yui Aragaki has many Chinese fans!"
"Okay, I'll contact Dongbao at any time."
...
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the real-time box office of "Treasure Hunters" exceeded 74 million, surpassing the first-day box office of "Tiny Times", and refreshing the first-day box office of domestic 2D movies.
There are two hours left before 12 o'clock, so it should be able to earn more than 10 million yuan in box office.
Of course, Orange’s publicity team issued a press release, “breaking the first-day box office record” and so on…
So far, "Treasure Hunters" has won 78% of the market share!
The second place is of course "Tiny Times", with 9 million...
Guo Xiaosi’s fans are still very impressive!
Wanda was extremely depressed - "Tai Chi Hero" was released on the first day, and he didn't even make the top three, and "Superman: Man of Steel" was ahead of it!
Because of the "mistake" in the screening, they only received 4 million yuan in the first day of the box office of "Treasure Hunt League"...
The Golden Field is used to arrange "Tai Chi Hero"!
Then, few people came to see...
Keanu Reeves is not Leonardo, and there are not so many fans in China!
Also, the story of "Tai Chi Hero" is so rubbish, and screenwriters in the 1980s would not use such scripts!
'It tells the story of Chen Linhu, a master of Lingkong Tai Chi Sect, being involved in an underground black boxing organization due to economic reasons. Under the advice of the Hong Kong anti-black group inspector, he gradually discovered the loss of his nature and began the road to redemption.'
Does it look very much like Brother Xiaolong’s "Game of Death"?
"Game of Death" is a classic, but it was a movie from the 1970s...
There is no "Tai Chi" in the movie, and there is no "Xia", so the negative score is going to be rough!
It was quite embarrassing. Wanda originally expected this movie to start the North American market.
China and the United States are co-producing...two-opening??...
As a result, the theater chain was not willing to show it. Amc theater chain considered it comprehensively and refused to show the film...
The box office in the mainland was also very bleak, with only 4.2 million on the first day, and 18% of the films were filmed!
Its investment is a real $25 million!
Starring Cheng Hu said: "Keanu and I don't care much about the box office. Our purpose is the same, that is, to do something well with all our hearts. As for the rewards, we won't be too forced. Keanu and I will continue to work together next. Now we have a Hollywood drama, which is in the preparation stage of the script. This time he plays a hero, and I will play a guest role as a villain."
As for what is this script? Where is the project?
There is not enough money, the actors are not decided, and the script is not available yet, but this project exists!
Keanu Reeves completely screwed up!
It doesn’t matter, he can pat his butt and get out of here. Anyway, there is "The God of Killing" waiting for him - the purpose of filming "Tai Chi Hero" is to make good friend Cheng Hu's dream of being an actor!
What to do with Wanda?
Of course, I chose to amplify the screenings of "Treasure Hunt Alliance". Isn't it profitable?
...
At 11 o'clock, Lu Xiaoran was talking to Alang in "Watching Movies" about "The Treasure Hunt Alliance".
I always have to promote you. You are the richest man and you have to give speeches everywhere...
"I watched "Eleven Arhats" on the plane that day and thought this movie was really good. If possible, it would be a big deal to make a domestic movie."
“…Why did it be made into a co-production? Is it because of censorship?”
"Yes, it's true that it's because of censorship. The ending of this type of criminal commercial film is definitely the protagonist who is at ease with the end, but our censorship must have bad rewards. In addition, in terms of character design, the police naturally have to be in a weak position, so that they can contrast the character's strength, but it does not meet our censorship!"
"I can understand why I want to introduce the Japanese actors?"
“…Because I like Yui Aragaki very much!”
Alang was stunned for a moment: "Is it just because of this?"
"…Just kidding, I mainly want to play big things. Since there are Chinese and Korean actors, why not invite Japanese and Benzene actors? The paintings of China, Japan and South Korea are called big productions!"
"What was the deep impression when the shooting was taken?"
“…It’s still true. Korean and Japanese actors respect the director very much and are very polite.”
Alang wrote down this passage, looked up and asked: "What are your box office expectations for "Treasure Hunt League"?"
"It was originally a billion, but when the filming started, I thought about the box office of one billion. It's amazing. Now..."
"Now it's a bit disliked by the billion-dollar box office?"
"It's not that I'm not looking down on it... I think the box office in Asia can reach 1.5 billion!"
Chapter completed!
