This movie made a box office of 1.1 billion yuan in China. At the same time, its performance overseas was not bad, with a box office of close to 150 million US dollars...
The total box office is close to 2.3 billion yuan!
Although it is not as good as those Hollywood movies, it is also the pinnacle of Li Mingrui's career as a director.
At least……
He has successfully become one of the few directors with a box office of over 2 billion in China, overlooking all the living beings below.
Li Mingrui feels no regrets bidding farewell to his director career amid such achievements.
After "Blood 3" came to an end, Chinese movies in September seemed a bit monotonous.
In fact, most Chinese movies in September that could be postponed have basically been postponed. Many blockbuster directors seem to have been infected by Lu Yuan's virus and have imitated Lu Yuan, pushing their movies to September for various reasons that need to be corrected.
In the second half of the year, or Zhang Tong's "Plan B" is simply postponed to the National Day on October 1st.
Anyway, "Plan B" is not related to the country, but it just fits the theme...
As for why so many Chinese directors do this?
Do you even need to ask?
Hollywood may be fearless in avoiding the sharp edges of the three movies "Batman", "Superman" and "Wolverine", but on the Chinese film side...
Okay, I'm a little timid.
All directors in China know that Lu Yuan is a monster that cannot be commented on by common sense!
After all, none of the movies he has made since his debut has been a hit on the street, and every movie has exploded at the box office.
Even if the two movies "Batman" and "Superman" change directors again after previous copyright disputes and a series of strange things, it is very likely that this will encounter Waterloo...
but!
This is a movie produced by "Remote"!
Perhaps because of Lu Yuan's relationship, all directors have a mysterious and weird feeling about the word "remote".
Moreover, September's "remote" itself is very weird. The same company, although not in the same place, has released three movies at the same time. This operation is really rare in the entire history of movies...
And the three films are playing on the same stage! You can do it even if it's a week apart?
What kind of trouble is this?
This dog planner has his brain kicked by a donkey?
Netizens were frightened by this wave of "remote" operations.
Is it still possible to be so fussy?
…………………………
The release of Shen Lianjie's "Superman" was purely based on the arrangement. When Lu Yuan asked him to release it, he would release it.
But Fatty Wei is thinking about the release of "Batman".
In fact, he does have the idea of PKing for internal competition!
Andorra is an internationally renowned director. His "King Kong" series directly created a wave of heroic style in the United States...
Logically speaking, Fatty Wei should retreat, but in fact, Fatty Wei wanted to have sex with Andorra to see how big the gap between himself and Andorra was, and he felt a little lonely when he had sex with Andorra alone.
He also directly suggested that "Superman" should be released at this time...
Lu Yuan agreed.
In short, it is a good thing that there is healthy competition within the company. As long as the quality of the movie itself is strong enough and the special effects and plot can keep up, then the box office of these three movies will definitely not be too bad.
We need to worry about movies from other companies, but what about the "remote" side?
What to worry about?
All the stuff used was compiled by Lu Yuan, and the special effects were also produced by his own company. Although the director is indeed much better in international reputation in Andorra, and is also better in technical shooting, Fatty Wei is not for nothing, Shen Lianjie Although the shooting technique is slightly inferior to that of Fatty Wei, the control of details is good...
The popularity and publicity effect generated by the three "long-distance" movies together is absolutely amazing.
In Hollywood, the United States, "Arrival" may still be able to gain a certain degree of popularity and have some sense of presence, but in China...
All right!
You can hardly see any news about this movie, and even a little bit of news was found in it. In an instant, it was "remotely PKed by three movies on the same stage", "Box Office Battle of the Century", "Remotely Internal Hollywood PKed by China" and so on. News has replaced it, and even the promotion of "Skull King Kong" in China has begun to become ineffective...
The popularity of PK between Karl and Andorra is actually somewhat marginal.
seem……
All of this heralds a very bad start, or...
What's the hint?
………………………………
"Batman" and "Superman" are troubled.
I don’t know how these two movies turned out.
An Xiao did not go to see Superman first, but sat in the screening room of "Batman".
By chance, she read the new comic "Batman" when passing by the United States. She thought it was quite interesting, so she bought it. Unexpectedly, An Xiao took it in after reading it. Although the update of the comic version was really Very slow...
She came over to watch "Batman" first.
The theater was full of people.
In the United States, the two comics "Batman" and "Superman" are indeed very popular, but in China, the popularity of these two comics is not very high. After all, the movies come out faster than the comics, so , everyone in the "Batman" cinema was talking about what kind of movie "Batman" would be, and even a few fans who were not optimistic about it felt that this movie was very likely to be a flop.
An Xiao shook his head after hearing these sounds.
She has full confidence in Lu Yuan.
Since Lu Yuan dares to play like this and dare to compete in three movies on the same stage, it means one thing!
That means he has confidence in this movie!
I think this movie will be a hit!
After about ten minutes, the movie finally started amid a burst of gentle music!
"Fuck! "Remote" and everything else are good, but what the hell, there are too many advertisements!"
"Yeah, I'm speechless. Besides, your Tianhe Cinema has an advertisement for Migos Cinema. Is this really good?"
"I've tolerated everything else. After all, "industrial electronic magic" and "remote" entertainment are relatively close to each other. Even "remote" live broadcasts are barely relevant. But, your "remote" takeout and "remote" hotel are like this What does the advertisement mean? What the hell..."
"Familiar formula, original taste, Ergouzi would not be Ergouzi if he didn't take advantage of this wave of popularity to advertise... Calm down..."
"That seems right? And this advertisement is quite unique, isn't it?"
"Remote tradition, cough, cough..."
"..."
"..."
Before the movie started, everyone was talking about how the movie "Batman" would end. However, when the subtitles officially started, everyone couldn't help but complain...
An Xiao's expression became extremely weird. She felt that Lu Yuan was really addicted to advertising.
As long as Lu Yuan's companies had any connections, they all put their money into advertising subtitles for movies!
There are even some advertising slogans such as "Remote games, everyone is playing them! I am playing them too..."...
Proper advertising is no problem.
But Lu Yuan...
Isn't this a little too crazy?
An Xiao really can't imagine what Lu Yuan's movie prologue will look like in the future...
Just start with ten minutes of advertising?
An Xiao took a deep breath, thinking of that person's appearance, and immediately shook his head again.
have no choice……
…………………………
"What is this man doing?"
"The movie hasn't even started yet, and you made me watch commercials for so long?"
"Tell me how much advertising fees this guy charges!"
"..."
"..."
If the Chinese audience is laughing and scolding, the American audience is really not used to the overwhelming wave of advertisements...
They feel like they want to hit someone!
Moreover, this advertisement is not only for "Batman", but even the three movies produced by "Remote" have exactly the same prologue and exactly the same advertisement.
Fans of Lu Yuan all know this and think this is Lu Yuan’s characteristic, and they understand it very well.
But others feel a little confused and brainwashed.
Karl, the director of "Skull King Kong", was even more confused by Lu Yuan's shameless and shameless behavior and didn't know what to say.
I want to get angry, but I don't know how to get angry.
He could only watch quietly as the movie "The Wolverine" finally started after a series of commercials.
…………………………
"Who the hell came up with this! This man is truly a talent!"
"..."
In the "Superman" screening room, Lu Yuan gasped after seeing the advertisement with strange bones.
He was shocked.
Damn it, what are you doing with this wave of advertising?
Where is Li Qing?
How did this happen later!
Wang Jinxue glanced at Lu Yuan, and then watched the gradual beginning of "Superman" without saying a word...
Zhou Shuai, who was sitting next to him, shook his head.
"Ayuan, isn't this what you asked for?"
"I asked for it? When did I ask for it?"
"Isn't this our "remote" practice? Don't let outsiders take advantage of it. You said this in a meeting before, and you said it very seriously. It has even been written into the unspoken rules of "remote".
We are all responding to your call!"
"..." When Lu Yuan heard this, he was confused at first.
Call? When did I call? What are the unspoken rules? Why don’t I know the unspoken rules?
After a period of reflection, he discovered that he had indeed said similar words before these three movies were finalized!
However, what I mean is that some advertisements should be added appropriately, not all of them, what the heck...
Now add them all together, this feeling...
It’s so cheating!
People will think that I am not showing a movie, but an advertisement!
What a bad reputation this has.
However, after Lu Yuan looked at the fans' reactions, he suddenly found that although the fans were scolding, they were all laughing and scolding.
Not only am I not disgusted, I even...
Still have some fun?
…………………………
In the same screening room of "The Wolverine", little Jackson was also scolding.
But in the middle of the scolding, he received a phone call.
This was a call from his assistant. After receiving the call, little Jackson's expression was obviously not very good...
Bad news comes one after another!
The assistant told him about various situations in China, including the premiere.
Compared to the other four films, which all sold out, his "Arrival" pre-sale tickets were very poor. Not only were they not sold out, but even the opening day slots were not fully booked.
"Mr. Jackson... the promotion of our "Arrival" in China failed. No matter how much publicity our company planned, it could not penetrate the Chinese market... In Hollywood, we also..."
