The users on Rotten Tomatoes are basically local people.
Almost everyone has never seen a movie with a theme like "Nezha 2".
So everyone felt a sense of novelty about this movie.
Like comments.
"This is the second Chinese movie I've seen. The last one was undoubtedly "Saw". It was unexpectedly good-looking. I particularly liked Nezha's magic weapon. It was so interesting."
"Is this a Chinese myth and legend? Nezha's mother moved me to death."
"It looks great. The entire movie, from shooting to production, even the soundtrack, is top-notch. It's not inferior to Hollywood's A-level productions. It's really unexpected. Have Chinese movies progressed to this level?"
"I highly recommend everyone to watch it, it's definitely worth the price of admission! Starting from this movie, I have remembered the name Qi Ji, and I will try to watch any movies and TV series related to him in the future."
The overseas box office of "Nezha 2" can be regarded as unexpected.
This surprised many film and television drama companies in beautiful countries.
A drinking party in a certain circle.
A group of Hollywood bigwigs stood together with the boss of New Lanzhou.
"Sette, have you seen "Nezha" introduced by your company? The results are very good!"
Seth is the boss of New Lanzhou. As one of the major distribution companies in the beautiful country, he will naturally not go to the purpose of introducing an overseas movie, and it is only a Chinese movie.
So he held up his wine glass and joked with everyone: "This is really not the case, but this project is really a surprise given to me by my people. Judging from the current momentum, it can be done if the box office exceeds 10 million."
Arrived."
"You old boy, you are really lucky this time."
"Haha! If you put it this way, can Chinese films, especially their commercial films, really break in?"
"It's hard to say yet, but we all have a sense of crisis. At present, Qi Ji has something special. He is the director and screenwriter of "Saw", so we must pay close attention to this person!"
At this time, a short, fat man with a big belly stood up.
He is one of Hollywood's top producers Ryan.
He smiled and said: "It's just a Chinese movie, everyone, please calm down. You know, the top three Chinese movies at the box office are all produced by me, haha!"
Ryan said this with great confidence.
Because this is indeed true.
The top three box office movies in Chinese film history are all Hollywood blockbusters.
Moreover, these three films were all written and produced by Ryan.
Each of these films has grossed more than 700 million U.S. dollars in China. Calculated according to the exchange rate at the time, they were top-notch blockbusters with a box office of at least 400 million yuan.
Ranked first is the fifth installment of the film series "Original Sin" that has achieved global success so far.
This movie has a box office of 5.26 billion in China alone.
Distinguished among all domestic films.
"Original Sin" is the pride of Hollywood, and even more proud of Ryan.
But at the same time, it can also be regarded as a shame for Chinese filmmakers.
Because the film that ranks first at the domestic box office is not a domestic film!
So just a "Nezha 2" is nothing here in Ryan.
But in front of everyone, this is what he said.
But after returning to his company, Ryan slapped the table hard: "Chinese people actually want to get involved in our domestic box office? He stole the chicken last time in "Saw". This time...
, stop me hard!"
The assistant said: "Boss, this movie shouldn't make any waves. How much money do we need to pay?"
Ryan said: "Let's spend a budget of about one million. There is no other reason. I just don't like Chinese movies."
In fact, Ryan still has his own deeper considerations.
Qi Ji is a talented person.
He noticed it from the first day "Nezha 2" was released in the beautiful country.
So as soon as he got up this morning, he finished watching "Nezha 2".
This movie is very commercial.
There are both funny elements and sensational elements.
But what worried Leian the most was that he saw Qi Ji's ambition in Qi Ji's "Nezha"!
In this movie, he saw Qi Ji from the detailed background of the movie, and even from the last two easter eggs, and wanted to recreate the terrifying idea of "Original Sin"!
That’s right!
Here in Qi Ji, Ryan felt a hint of threat.
Although this threat currently appears to be small.
However, if it is allowed to grow unchecked, it will have an impact on the status of "Original Sin" in film history!
This is something that Ryan absolutely cannot allow!
So, very quickly, a mainstream voice gradually emerged in the beautiful country's media circles.
The New York Times: "We must be wary of the cultural impact of Chinese people! In today's era, are there still people promoting myths? This is stupid! Movies like "Nezha 2" use children as the final protagonist, and their vision is very low."
Delai Film Review: "We have noticed that the movie "Nezha 2" from the East has been quite popular these days, but after watching it, the editor found that the movie was too sensational, and the sensational scenes were too blunt and harsh.
Over time, Chinese films can never escape their routines. All in all, this is a very routine and mediocre film."
Hollywood Film and Television News: "Some scenes in the children's movie "Nezha 2" from China contain violent scenes. Although the protagonist is a child, our children have no way to see it on the screen."
The power of public opinion from the mainstream of the beautiful Chinese film industry is huge.
On Twitter, many people immediately reposted the relevant reports.
"I just said, what kind of movies will the Chinese make? Have they ever won an Oscar? I don't know what some domestic distribution companies are thinking now. Is this money so much that there is no place to spend it? Push this shit
In front of us?"
"A place known as an entertainment desert also has good movies? In all these years, except for one "Saw", I haven't seen any others!"
"This person named Qi Ji is said to be very well-known in China and has reached the national level. In fact, even if such a popular star is a piece of garbage in their country, not many people will watch it.
There will be less. But they regard their achievements in China as the high quality of their movies, and they bring them to us to market and make money from us. This is just for fun!"
Because of the constant exaggeration of these negative emotions.
As a result, the box office of "Nezha 2" began to continue to decline.
The initial upward momentum was immediately suppressed. So in the next few days, the box office revenue was less than one million per day.
Within a week of its release, the box office exceeded 10 million.
And the momentum has clearly stopped.
Any further movement is impossible.
New Lanzhou Company.
Seth slapped the table hard: "There's a lot of momentum! I just can't see me making any money!"
According to New Lanzhou Company's estimates, and based on the momentum of this movie in the first two days, it is almost certain that the box office will exceed 20 million.
But now that I am being interfered with by people from the mainstream film industry, my income has been cut in half.
"Boss, we probably know who it is. That old guy Ryan!" the assistant said through gritted teeth.
Hollywood's capital is also divided into many families.
Among them, Ryan's side has the largest capital power, so he has always been a bit unhindered in Hollywood.
But on weekdays, when everyone has a conflicted movie schedule, things are still amicable.
At least that's the case on the surface.
But now, after introducing "Nezha 2" to his family, Ryan's side actually attacked hard, which made Seth very unhappy.
"It's not a big problem, but I remember this account!" Seth knocked on the table lightly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
But this was a confrontation between Hollywood capitals, and Qi Ji and others at Shunli Entertainment didn't know that.
Meng Feichen was still sighing with Qi Ji: "It's really a pity. Looking at our box office results in the first two days overseas, I thought we had a box office revenue of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."
Qi Ji seemed calm.
This kind of thing is almost the same as in the previous life.
In this world's film industry, only Hollywood's capital has the ability to distribute globally and cut leeks.
As for Chinese films, if they want to enter Hollywood, firstly, there is no capital promotion and support, but there is very strong resistance from within Hollywood.
This is not just the case with Chinese movies.
It is actually very difficult for movies from other countries to enter.
So Qi Ji said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's take our time. If one movie doesn't work, we will make two, three, or even ten movies! As long as we continue to produce high-quality products, I don't believe that the global audience is a fool!"
Qi Ji still has great expectations for the future.
He is not short of money now, nor is he short of resources.
What is lacking is time.
He wants time to create a Qi Ji universe that belongs to China and even to the whole world.
This is Qi Ji's dream and desire.
"My prince, you are really optimistic!" Meng Feichen took a few deep breaths, then looked around and saw no one.
Then he walked over and closed the office door, and then whispered to Qi Ji: "My brother, our parent company's capital chain is very difficult now, do you know?"
Qi Ji nodded slightly and said, "I heard something."
Qi Ji didn't just hear about it.
His wife, Mu Yunxiu, told Qi Ji more than a month ago that the capital chain of Smooth Real Estate had collapsed and that there was a possibility of a big problem.
With his wife's strength in the entire financial circle, Qi Ji certainly believed in this matter.
"Then you are still so calm? Are you still so confident in the future of our movie?" Meng Feichen frowned.
He had been very uneasy these past few days, and was even thinking about whether he should run away.
Qi Ji laughed dumbly and said: "My brother, what are you panicking about? You know my contract. If it comes to that, I will buy Shunli Entertainment directly!"
Qi Ji was very generous.
Meng Feichen was immediately stunned when he said this.
Immediately, the brightest smile bloomed on his face, and the big stone that had been weighing on his heart for the past few days suddenly fell to the ground.
"Then...I will call you boss from now on?"
Qi Ji quickly waved his hand and said: "This is the final operation. Don't worry, just take it one step at a time. Anyway, I will take care of everything."
There is no airtight wall under the sun.
On this side, the domestic box office of "Nezha 2" successfully exceeded the 3 billion mark.
On the other side, the news that Shunli Real Estate is about to shut down is spreading more and more across the Internet.
Soon, some entertainment bloggers carried relevant reports and said:
"Everyone, don't look at Qi Ji's momentum now. The Five Thousand Years Universe and the Fengshen Universe are following one after another. Brothers and sisters, take a closer look. Qi Ji's parent company is about to go bankrupt!"
"Wocao! What will Qi Ji do next?"
"Don't panic! With Qi Ji's strength, as soon as he terminates the contract, other companies will go crazy, right?"
"Fart! Qi Ji may really be in trouble this time! If Shunli Real Estate collapses, how can Shunli Entertainment be better off? Not to mention the copyright of Qi Ji's Five Thousand Years series, whose hands are it?
"
"You guys, this is a typical example of watching the excitement without taking it too seriously. If you check carefully, Shunli Entertainment is the only profitable subsidiary of the entire Shunli Group so far, and Shunli Entertainment is responsible for its own profits and losses.
.If Shunli Group really goes bankrupt in the future...then we have to look at Qi Ji’s equity in Shunli Entertainment!"
News spread quickly.
The news also spread widely.
That night, Qi Ji had just finished exercising with Mu Yunxiu when he received a strange phone call.
Since he became popular, I have changed my phone number twice.
Not many people know his phone number now.
The calls that come in are either from salespeople or from those in the industry who are able to get their own phone numbers.
So Qi Ji answered the phone, and Mu Yunxiu gently pressed against his ear, with some fine sweat still on her temple hair.
"Hello, is this Qi Ji? I'm Wu Changshan, Wu Changshan from Banana Entertainment." The visitor got straight to the point.
Qi Ji: "Hello, Mr. Wu."
Wu Changshan smiled heartily and said: "Let me get straight to the point. I heard that our company may have some problems. Mr. Qi, do you have any ideas about changing to another company? As the top entertainment company in China, Banana Entertainment
, you know our resources..."
Wu Changshan said a long list.
Finally, Qi Ji asked: "Mr. Wu, the key is... do I still need resources now?"
His words directly blocked Wu Changshan back.
At present, Qi Ji himself is a resource that exudes golden light in the entertainment industry.
If other people are casually exposed to a little bit of light by him, it will be inexhaustible.
It didn't take long after I hung up the phone from Wu Changshan.
Qi Ji received another call from the CEO of Jujian Entertainment.
The other party's purpose was the same as Wu Changshan's, they wanted to poach Qi Ji.
But Qi Ji still refused.
In the next few days, many large companies approached Qi Ji.
What he said was very nice, and he took a fancy to Qi Ji's strength in the circle.
But when it comes to contracts, they are only the so-called S-level contracts at the top level in the industry.
