Chapter 0762 The biggest winner
Compared with these three domestic blockbusters, which far exceeded the expectations of movie fans, the ratings of the Beacon Country blockbusters released at the same time were much lower. None of them scored more than 9 points, and they all hovered around 8.5 points. The highest one was only 8.9.
point.
I don’t know since when, the attitude of Chinese movie fans towards Beacon Country blockbusters has begun to change.
In the past, as long as it was a blockbuster from the Lighthouse Country, it would be criticized crazily. Even if it had flaws, it would be interpreted as the cultural differences between the East and the West and would be forgiven. In one sentence: Don't scold it. If you scold it, it means you are a bastard and do not understand the culture of the Lighthouse Country.
But now, movie fans have become picky. Even if it’s a blockbuster film from Lighthouse Country, it’s still criticized if it’s not filmed well!
Is the quality of this year's three Beacon Country blockbusters really that bad?
Actually not.
It's just that there are a lot of gaps compared to some classic lighthouse country blockbusters.
In the general view of Chinese movie fans, blockbusters from the Lighthouse Country should be of that standard. If you don't reach it, you're ruining your own reputation.
It's like a good student who used to score 95 or above, but now suddenly gets 80 points? This shouldn't be scolded?
And the same domestic films that scored 80 points were praised to the heavens. Who told them that they couldn't even get 60 points in the past?
It's very dull.
These directors and producers from the Lighthouse Country felt very aggrieved when they saw it. Why do blockbuster films from the Lighthouse Country have to have strict requirements? The Chinese are going too far! They are clearly targeting them on purpose!
Of course, when promoting the movie, the golden signature of Lighthouse Country’s blockbusters still needs to be displayed.
…
The box office data for the first week are out, and "The Bund" tops the box office list in China with a box office of 1.37 billion!
As soon as this box office result came out, many filmmakers seemed to have just received a lemon.
You must know that the investment in the movie "The Bund" was only 100 million. In fact, it had already paid back its money at the box office by the second day. Now that it has been released for one week, it has already made much more than other movies. Not to mention that there will be more in the future.
I can continue to make money at the box office for at least two months!
The second-ranked film is "Everlasting Sorrow". Relying on the advantages of the original work and the inclination of theater resources, it successfully surpassed the second-placed "Those Years" three days after its release. The box office in its first week was 1.22 billion!
However, considering its investment of 500 million, the box office has not actually paid back. But fortunately, the Lunar New Year season has just begun. If we are optimistic, there will still be more than two months. In the end, we will definitely make money, and we can make money.
Quite a few.
"Those Years" ranked third at the box office, with a box office of 1.09 billion in its first week.
So far, the top three domestic box office films are all domestic films!
For a time, various entertainment media went crazy.
You must know that in China in this world, there is no protection period for domestic films. The blockbuster films introduced into the country are released on the same schedule as them!
The box office battle is naturally fierce. For a long time in the past, the top-ranked blockbusters were from the Lighthouse Country. Even though domestic films have begun to rise in recent years, there are often films that surpass the Lighthouse Country blockbusters, such as Tomahawk Films'
There are a few movies, but after all, they are only a few. And like now, the top three on the list are all domestic blockbusters, which is the first time in the past ten years!
This seems to be an incredible signal. More and more movie fans are beginning to believe that Chinese movies are really going to rise?
Of course, the lighthouse country is still very good at making blockbusters. The three films released in China during the Lunar New Year holiday this year all ended up in the top ten. Even the one with the worst box office performance had a box office of 810 million.
Another thing that the media is eager to tout is the overseas performance of domestic films this year.
This year, three domestic films were released simultaneously overseas, "The Bund", "Those Years" and "Everlasting Hate". Except for "Everlasting Hate", the other two films were produced by Tomahawk Pictures.
Among the three movies, "The Bund" had the highest box office, earning $180 million in its first week of release!
The second-ranked "Everlasting Sorrow" also earned a box office of 120 million U.S. dollars, and has gained the love of many Xianxia fans overseas. It is called another fantasy film from the East! Of course, there are also people who
Commentators believed that it was not as well shot as "Zhu Xian 1" and was obviously inferior to "Zhu Xian 1" in terms of special effects, costumes, props, makeup, etc.
But in fact, there is nothing they can do about it. No matter how hard they try, the gap in the strength of their own production teams is there and cannot be ignored.
When Tomahawk Pictures made "Zhu Xian 1", it not only invested a large investment of 650 million in the film itself, but also behind it the top production team poached from all over the world with high salaries!
But what makes Lin Guiyi and others more sad is not this. What really makes them sad is that no matter how high the overseas box office performance of this movie is, it has nothing to do with them.
They have sold the overseas rights to this movie to Tomahawk Pictures for 150 million.
Therefore, in fact, the overseas profits of these three movies belong to Tomahawk Pictures.
What a loss of blood!
I don’t know if the person in charge of the original negotiations with Tomahawk Pictures will take the blame and be fired.
Compared with these two movies, the overseas box office performance of "Those Years" was obviously much worse. The box office in its first week was only more than 80 million US dollars, which was mainly supported by overseas Chinese.
Foreigners lost interest after seeing the criticism in movie reviews.
Of course, the overseas box office of 80 million US dollars in the first week is still a huge profit for this Chinese film with an investment of only 60 million yuan.
Finally, more and more people began to react.
The biggest winner in this year’s box office war seems to be Tomahawk Pictures?
Or to be more precise, it should be the Tomahawk Group.
Because not only Tomahawk Pictures is relying on the Spring Festival to make crazy money, but Tomahawk Animation is also taking advantage of the popularity to make its new works popular.
The animation "Hua Guo Shi Yun" was launched on station 233 on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The first episode "Yuan Day" is very suitable for the occasion. It is about the Chinese Spring Festival in ancient times. Along with the melodious singing, the audience is taken to see the traditions and traditions of the Jiading Spring Festival four hundred years ago from the perspective of a child.
custom.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, children played together, their fathers set up wooden ladders to post Spring Festival couplets and hung lanterns, and mothers were busy in the kitchen preparing a sumptuous New Year's dinner. The children came to the kitchen to steal food, but were caught by their father, who responded with traditional etiquette.
Follow the guidance and be good at tempting people. In the countryside and fields, carriages bring people to pay New Year greetings, and there are many people who bow to each other as gifts. A bowl of "New Year's Soup" for guests, a blend of sincerity and warmth, conveys the worldly atmosphere of the Spring Festival in ancient times.
It actually has no plot at all, no beginning, transition, climax, or end. The animation of more than five minutes is very dull from beginning to end.
It's like a vlog (video blog) recorded by ancient people.
But many people on the barrage were exclaiming because they still preserved many New Year customs from more than 400 years ago and can still recognize them.
Of course, it's not available everywhere.
Another thing that makes people feel very comfortable is its painting style and background music. The ink painting style is very distinctive.
"One year old is eliminated in the sound of firecrackers,
The spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu.
Thousands of households, every day,
Always replace old talismans with new ones."
This ancient poem, which many people memorized when they were students, was sung in the form of a ballad and made many people's eyes shine.
