July has entered the summer season. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test

Chen Hao's new film, Sun Dahe's new film, Zhang Huawei, Wang Mu and other directors' new films... these are all released in turn.

In just over half a month, more than 4 blockbusters with production costs exceeding 100 million have been released.

In the next 40 days, no less than 10 such big-budget movies will be released.

Even the five famous directors, the seven best movie kings and the four best movie queens have to deal with it carefully, let alone other directors and actors.

No movie with a slightly inferior self-esteem would have the courage to be released during this time period.

After more than ten years of sluggishness, China's film market has begun to recover since 2012, and has become increasingly prosperous in recent years.

In the past, people would be happy to have a movie with a box office of over 100 million, but now the box office is less than 300 million, and it cannot be considered a blockbuster movie.

Especially after the release of "The Gift of Room No. 7" in October last year, the domestic box office reached 850 million yuan, setting a shocking record.

Its box office is 50 million higher than that of Chen Hao's "Death Trap", which originally ranked first.

Of course, in terms of absolute currency value, the 800 million for "Death Trap" released in 2012 is definitely worth more than the 850 million for "The Gift of Room 7" three years later.

But if you look at the categories of movies, one is a popular action movie with the best actor joining and directed by the great director Wang Mu, and the other is a literary film. The director and actors cannot be said to be strangers, but they are definitely not top-notch.

In fact, the actors are not even second-rate.

But it just happened to have such a huge box office hit, and it also won numerous awards around the world. This is what makes "The Gift of Room 7" so awesome.

This year, Chen Hao's new film "Operation Condor", which he directed and starred in, grossed 250 million yuan at the box office in the first three days of its first weekend, directly breaking the 205 million yuan in the opening weekend of "The Gift of Room 7" last October.

box office.

This made Chen Hao very proud.

To be honest, he was really unwilling to accept that such an international superstar was dethroned from the box office by a literary film.

Now that "Operation Condor", which he has been working on for a year, is launched with great force, it finally has the momentum to take back the first place. Why do you think he is unhappy?

It is one thing that he likes and appreciates "The Gift of Room No. 7" very much, but it is another thing to pursue the corresponding achievement and reputation, which does not hinder it.

The movie market is so hot, and the summer TV series market is also very interesting.

"The Prisoner is a very strange and excellent TV series."

This is a very authoritative comment from a TV industry leader.

Why do you say that?

The first season of "Yue Yu" will be broadcast from July 1st.

The first few episodes were incomprehensible. From the 150 million people watching the first episode, the number plummeted to more than 70 million in the third episode, which was cut in half.

But after the seventh episode, this number continued to rise.

By the twelfth episode, the number of simultaneous viewers had reached 150 million, surpassing the initial result.

By the twenty-third episode, the number of viewers suddenly exceeded 220 million, which is close to the record of 320 million viewers for the finale of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".

Logically speaking, a TV series with such good results should be directly rated as "excellent". Why is there a "very strange" modifier added in front of "excellent"?

You may not believe the reason.

Because this is a TV series that has flowers inside the walls and fragrance outside the walls.

After the number of viewers dropped to 60 million in the seventh episode, the number of viewers of "Prison" has continued to rise.

But if you look at the data carefully, you will find that the growth is all from foreign audiences.

The first ones to bear the brunt are Japan and South Korea. This kind of cult film is very suitable for their tastes. After all, categories like horror films are still very popular in these two countries.

After watching a few more episodes and getting a feel for it, the number of viewers from Japan and South Korea increased from more than 2 million to more than 8 million, even 20 million in the 23rd episode!

You know, the total population of the two countries is only 200 million!

Almost one-tenth of the people have watched "Yue Yu", you can tell whether this TV series is popular or not!

However, neither Japan nor South Korea has the largest number of viewers.

Europe and the United States are the big players.

The number of viewers in Europe and America, including South America, has also skyrocketed from more than 1 million to 10 million, 30 million, 50 million... and it has skyrocketed to 120 million people in just twenty-three episodes!

The number of viewers in other Southeast Asian countries has also reached around 20 million.

Take a look.

How awesome is the data that 220 million people watched the 23 episodes online at the same time!?

But with such a high figure, 160 million people are from overseas. The number of people in China who like to watch "Yue Yu" is only 60 million.

60 million people have been watching a TV series, which is already a good result. But if you compare it with the 160 million foreign viewers, it is still several levels behind.

Foreigners not only like to watch it, they also call it crazily and discuss it passionately.

There are thousands of discussions in these foreign language areas every day, and there are more than thousands of main posts, let alone discussions in the follow-up threads.

They quickly overwhelmed other programs and TV series discussion forums on Shanhai.com and became the most popular.

The key point is that the comments are pretty decent. There are a lot of English words in a dozen, and you can show your sincerity just by looking at the number of words.

On foreign social networking sites, I don’t know how many big names are crazily recommending it to people, which makes Chinese people even more stunned.

"I strongly recommend you to watch a Chinese TV series - "The Prison"! It is much better than the American TV series. If you don't like it, you come to my house to scold me and spit on me!"

"I have to say that this "Prison" gave me a strong taste of excellent American TV series. It easily made me forget that I was watching a foreign TV series dubbed in English!"

"Nice! Its rating has reached 8.7 points! It has knocked down the TV series we produced this year in the United States, but you can never say that this is a score increase!"

"I think it would be better if it were played by an American star... But now it's pretty good. It has successfully cured my facial blindness towards Asians."

"A Chinese video website can actually produce such a sincere and thoughtful TV series. European and American TV series producers, you must not be blind and arrogant anymore, the wolf is coming!!"

"..."

As the reviews get better and better, and as the number of viewers in Europe, America, Japan, and Korea increases, the performance in advertising revenue will be obvious.

After playing 17 episodes, when the number of viewers in Europe and the United States exceeded 100 million for the first time, seven advertising companies from Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea came to buy the advertising space for the remaining 13 episodes for a total of 30 million US dollars.

With this income alone, Shanhai.com has achieved a balance of payments from the buyout and rewards of "Yue Yu".

Coupled with the rapid increase in VIP users in Europe and the United States, the number of VIP users increased by 4 million in just ten days, reaching 47 million. This amount of income is also very objective.

You know, the standard set by the eldest princess for foreign users is not 180 RMB, but 50 US dollars. Calculating to 350 RMB, it is almost double.

The salary standards for foreigners are already higher than those in China. The princess is really capable of taking care of her own people and robbing the rich to give to the poor.

Such an income of 20 million US dollars will increase Shanhai.com's profits by more than 100 million.

Not to mention that there are still 7 episodes of "Yue Yu" that have not been aired.

According to the trailer, in addition to the main drama, there are up to 20 hours of various behind-the-scenes and various deleted content, which will be released on the VIP page, which ordinary people cannot watch.

Once this final high-profile event is broadcast, it is safe to expect that the number of VIP users will exceed 50 million.

The income of VIP users is one piece, which expands the channels in Europe and the United States, allowing them to understand and like Shanhai.com better. Such a user resource cannot be explained clearly by three to five billion US dollars.

If Shanhaiwang were to be listed now, it would probably have to increase its valuation by another US$10 billion!

Faced with the madness of fans of foreign TV series, many Chinese viewers find it incredible.

Originally, some people were sarcastic, saying that Chu Liuxiang's popularity had finally dissipated, and once his years of accumulation disappeared, his level would naturally drop.

For example, this is the case in "Yue Yu".

It's too raw and depressing, and the main dark color makes people feel uncomfortable and not that fond of it.

The results of it?

Now the foreign audience is slapping these people in the face with facts!

It’s not that the TV series is bad at all, it’s just that you people don’t know how to appreciate it!

The number of overseas fans who are following it is firmly moving towards 200 million, which really cannot be summed up by luck!

Chinese people don’t like the TV series produced in China very much, but foreigners like them very much.
Chapter completed!
