The global popularity of "Avatar" has become a phenomenon, and its popularity is difficult to express in an accurate language.
In many places around the world, even if you brave heavy rain and snow, even if you have to wait in line for a long time, you will still run into the cinema with excitement to watch "Avatar" without any negative emotions.
Even if I shout in the crowd that I have watched IMAX many times and then die happily in the eyes of everyone with murderous eyes, I am willing to do so.
"Avatar" is like a delicious Pandora fruit, which has fascinated countless movie fans.
After the fifth day of global release, the overcrowded situation of the movie finally eased, and the attendance rate began to drop to 90%...80%...
However, at this time, the box office of "Avatar" has surpassed the highest box office record of US$2.185 billion set by "Titanic". And all the filmmakers and fans are curiously paying attention to how high the box office it can win.
If it really reaches more than 3 billion US dollars, it will really be a record that makes all filmmakers despair!!
However, what they don't know is that the real income of "Avatar" is not from the terrifying box office, but from peripheral products.
Jointly designed and produced by China Mickey Toys and American Mattel, various Avatar toys have been sold all over the world. In addition to toys, there are also various peripheral fragments such as dolls and T-shirts, which have achieved unprecedented success.
After the movie was released, these products immediately attracted countless enthusiastic Avatar fans to spend money to buy them. The major sales outlets were basically crowded with Avatar fans. As soon as the goods were put on the shelves, they were snapped up by hungry fans!
!
The sufficient supply of goods prepared by various countries has been sold out, and the contract manufacturers of peripheral products are also working overtime to continuously produce the goods, and then quickly transport them to the world for sale through international flights!!
The market response to the sales of "Avatar" peripheral products has been extremely hot!!
After a rough calculation, in the first five days of release alone, 3 billion products of various sizes were purchased around the world, among which the Na'vi image/Death Beast/Toruk Knight model and related t
T-shirts sold the most and were very popular. Its sales data directly exceeded 3 billion US dollars.
In the game market, Tianwang Film and Television is not idle either. The stand-alone and online games of "Avatar" have been entrusted to jointly produced by famous domestic and North American game companies, and are expected to be released in May. At this time, the game has not been released yet.
It has attracted the enthusiastic attention of a wide range of game enthusiasts, and it has always been ranked among the top three in North America's "Game Anticipation Ranking".
The "Avatar" animation has been taken over by Tianwang Animation Branch. It is being carefully produced and is expected to be available to all fans in the second half of the year.
Until now, the direct and indirect economic benefits created by "Avatar" have exceeded 5 billion US dollars. Wang Shang has successfully made it into a big cake. Then he has united the entire interest alliance to make the cake even bigger.
——————————————
China. Magic City.
Since the box office of "Avatar" exceeded 2 billion US dollars, Wang Shang has become the focus of most media in China, not just entertainment media. Even economic, social, and technological media have come out one after another.
"On the sixth day of its release, "Avatar" broke the box office record of "Titanic" with US$2.185 billion!! At the same time, it set new records in film history around the world, including the highest box office on the first day, the highest box office in the first week, and the highest box office in a single day...
”--"China Film News".
"The No. 1 box-office movie in history, made in China! Once upon a time, it was a big deal for Chinese movies to be released in North America. But now, ten years later, Huaxia movies have conquered countless fans in the global film market and conquered countless people."
Movie. This is a great progress!!"--"Citizen Daily".
"The indirect economic benefits brought by a movie drive the entire industry chain! From 3D to IMAX, from special effects to projectors and cameras, from movie box office to toys, clothing industry, from comics to games, "Avatar" drives the development
It has created an entire industrial chain."--"Economic Observer".
"The most perfect film technology, Tianwang Special Effects has been at the forefront of the world's movies! Ten years ago, China's movies had to rely on foreign countries for all their special effects. Ten years later, China has the world's top special effects company, as well as...
3D, IMAX high-tech film technology patents. And all of this is brought by Tianwang Film and Television Group, give it a big thumbs up!!" - "Nature and Technology".
"Wang Shang is the greatest filmmaker in China, no one! It is he who continues to impact Hollywood with his movies, making foreign movie fans gradually accept movies from China; it is he who invested tens of billions to build a special effects company that makes today's Chinese movies
Special effects technology leads the world; it was he who discovered imax technology and conquered the foreign film industry!" - "Film News".
This time Wang Shang made too much noise. He ranked first in box office in global film history, with countless economic benefits. The global sensation definitely made China lose a lot of face. Many Chinese people kept exclaiming when they saw groups of foreigners,
I can't help but feel proud when I praise him. Therefore, all kinds of domestic media are not stingy with their words of praise. They are so flattering that they almost made Wang Shang a national hero.
Wang Shang feels a little blushing and ashamed when he sees these newspapers every day.
However, this situation made the employees of Tianwang Film and Television very excited. The newspaper report became the focus of chat among colleagues. They excitedly discussed how awesome their boss was, and they were also proud of being the boss's employees.
.The collective sense of honor, the company's recognition, everything is quietly improving.
However, the excited employees also have troubles - there are too many reporters around the Tianwang Building these days!!
Tianwang Building is surrounded by many reporters every day. These reporters come from all provinces and cities across the country, as well as from all over the world. Not only do these all-pervasive reporters seriously interfere with the daily office work of Tianwang Film and Television Group, they also break through the security guards.
They entered the community and surrounded Wang Shang's home, causing Wang Shang a lot of trouble.
In the end, Wang Shang was so annoyed that he simply gathered all the reporters outside and held a press conference on the spot to solve the problem at once so that the paparazzi could leave early.
On December 28, an unpublicized press conference began. Although it was not announced to the outside world, more than 40 media outlets still participated. These reporters were all sitting upright in the conference room. They did not expect that they would be able to receive news today.
When I received the invitation for an interview, I was almost excited to death. They didn't call out to their friends like crazy. Instead, they all ate alone in a low-key manner.
The first person to be drawn was a young reporter with long hair. He stood up excitedly and asked: "Now that "Avatar" has reached a box office of 2 billion US dollars in only five days, Director Wang, what do you have to say?
? And what is your expected box office for this movie?”
Wang Shang glanced at him, thinking that the level of this question was too bad. But he replied: "2 billion. This is not beyond my expectation. Judging from the feedback on film schedules around the world, I expected "Avatar"
The box office should reach more than 3 billion. Next question."
Next reporter: "Hello Director Wang, I think the ending of "Avatar 1" is obviously unfinished. So, has Director Wang ever had the idea of making a sequel "Avatar 2"? Will you still be the director of the second part?
?Or find another director like before??"
Wang Shang answered directly without thinking: "Making "Avatar" has consumed too much of my energy. So I have no plans to make a sequel yet. As for the director of "Avatar 2", I will definitely not make another one.
I will find someone else to take the photo. End of this question, next question."
Wang Shang said that he would not make a sequel for the time being, which made many reporters who are fans of Avatar feel pity, but they kept writing down every word of Wang Shang. These are big revelations, whatever.
Throw one out and it will become a news cover and hot spot.
The third reporter is a woman with a round face and a nice voice: "Director Wang, you just said you won't make a sequel to "Avatar". What is your next work? When will it start shooting? Do you think this movie will be filmed?"
Will it be better than Avatar?"
Wang Shang pondered for a moment: "I haven't thought about my next work yet. I may not make a movie for the time being. As I just said, after filming "Avatar", I feel a little overwhelmed, so I want to take a break. This
End of question, next reporter."
Wang Shang really doesn't dare to make another movie after the climax of "Avatar". Firstly, he is a little exhausted now and does not have the same high-spirited passion as before. Secondly, it is difficult to reach the level of "Avatar" again.
, there is a 99% chance that the next work will be scolded by countless fans. So after a year or two, after the climax of "Avatar" has passed, it is not too late to take a break and start filming again.
The fourth reporter who drew the lottery was a relatively experienced reporter. He stood up and asked from another angle: "Looking at Director Wang's many films, they are all purely commercial films. Has Director Wang ever considered making one?"
Art films?"
All reporters are excited again. This is a question that many people want to ask, but Wang Shang has always avoided talking about it. Now with the rise of the commercial blockbuster "Avatar", it is estimated that more people will care about it.
Wang Shangkan talked about it: "I don't really care about the distinction between business and literature. I just want to make what I want to shoot. However, I did want to try a literary film before, or a literary film..."
This brief press conference ended quickly. Soon, the reporters' media outlets published the interview content as quickly as possible, which immediately attracted widespread attention.
"The king doesn't want to make "Avatar 2"? I'm still looking forward to it!! I've watched "Avatar 1" 5 times and I still can't help myself!!"
"I hope your Majesty can make a literary film for us to watch. I have eaten too much delicacies from mountains and seas, and I hope I can have a simple meal."
"Let's talk about the director selection of "Avatar 2". It's a pity that the king doesn't film it, but there is probably no director in China who can handle it. It would be a bit unwilling to find a foreign director to film it..."
"I think the foreign director James Cameron is a good candidate to direct "Avatar 2", and the New Zealand film director Peter Jackson is also a good choice..."
