Chapter 104 [Slumdog Millionaire] Box Office

 What happened next gave the audience a big shock. Tianchao Channel News Network broadcast a message. A leader said that Ye Ming's movie made people think deeply. Children are being abducted and trafficked in some places in China, and the crackdown needs to be stepped up.

Such crazy people must be severely punished.

This is it. The leaders have said that human traffickers will be strictly investigated, which means that there is no problem with the position of this movie. Then, many programs in China began to discuss this issue. At this moment, as far as the movie is concerned,

, such a thing is indeed a decisive voice.

The next day, all major media outlets began to express their praise for the film, calling it a rare work of conscience among Chinese films.

Therefore, the box office of this movie on the third day was already 4.3 million, and on the fourth day, it was 5.83 million, surpassing Pearl Harbor, the kind of movie where a young actor cries heartbrokenly.

The sound is like a sharp sword that pierces the hearts of every audience and tortures everyone's conscience.

The helplessness of people living at the bottom, and once people at the bottom are lucky enough to do something unexpected, they will always be misunderstood. Such a thing is indeed very surprising.

And in such a situation, Ye Ming's own expression of truly thinking about this matter is a reflection of the current situation of the lives of the entire lower class people. The movie truly expresses the director's thoughts through artistic processing.

.

It is even said that this voice has appeared on the Internet. If Bill Gates' son participated in this show and won an award, I believe no one would dare to say no.

But a poor person, a person living at the bottom of society, encountered such unfair treatment. This is indeed thought-provoking.

At this moment, some people describe Pearl Harbor as empty big scenes. The special effects are enough, and so are the big scenes.

It can be said that the movie Pearl Harbor was indeed made by Michael Bay with great care.

But this is not the reason for everyone to go see Pearl Harbor. It’s a bad movie. It’s a really bad movie. Even in the United States, there are many voices criticizing Disney. 140 million yuan. It’s actually said that the filming was so good.

It’s a bad movie. It’s also called a war version of Titanic. How can you compare it to Titanic?

The evaluation of this movie is like a castle in the air built with a bunch of dollars. The Rotten Tomatoes selection index given by Wang Chan is nine, which means it is only one number away from the worst. The Razzie Film Awards decided to award the best of the year to

The Razzie Movie was awarded to Pearl Harbor.

One of the most hypnotic films, it's stinky and long. It's been a long time since a super blockbuster in Hollywood has received this kind of evaluation.

Therefore, this was a lack of credibility that Pearl Harbor had to face.

In Time magazine, Pearl Harbor was evaluated as having too many big scenes and dragging out a heart-wrenching war. The mixed love story was a little weird.

It is not easy to make a good war movie. Saving Private Ryan has almost no love story, but it cannot be denied that it is a classic.

Forrest Gump is a literary film, but there is nothing wrong with it being an anti-war film.

This is because if a movie does well in one genre, it is already good. If you want to do well in both genres, it is simply too difficult.

If you want to do it, make a war film, such as Saving Private Ryan. For example, First Blood. If you want to do it, make an anti-war film with the garb of a literary film, such as Forrest Gump, etc.

But Pearl Harbor was a very surprising decision. It was a very stupid decision to mix a war movie with a romance movie. As a result, Pearl Harbor became a different story. The box office of Pearl Harbor became an annual joke.

It's an undeniable fact.

Even if peripherals are included, Disney is bound to lose money. Therefore, under such a situation, Eisner should be scratching his head.

Wang Chan's film has received almost unanimous praise, with many believing that it is a literary and artistic film that questions conscience and is a milestone in Chinese-language films. It profoundly describes the hardship and helplessness of people at the bottom.

Even left-wing filmmakers, while criticizing the movie, have to admit that Ye Ming's soul struggle in the movie truly expresses the hardship and helplessness of the people at the bottom. This is an explosive power that transcends words.

Is Ye Ming, the Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor, expected to win the Oscar for Best Actor? In the past week, the box office has already exceeded 20 million. And major theaters have also increased their film schedules. This

The box office of movies is rising steadily.

On the contrary, if you compare it with the Hollywood blockbuster, Pearl Harbor, which is said to be a war version of Titanic, was terrible at the box office. In the end, it was basically ignored by the mainstream media in the United States.

In fact, this is also the result of Disney's public relations. The performance of its own movies is too rubbish. Eisner also asked several familiar media not to report on the box office of Pearl Harbor.

Report on the pilot's love expressed in Pearl Harbor and the spirit of sacrifice for the war. This classic movie may not necessarily be a high box office hit.

For example, it's outrageous that Fart's box office was rubbish, but no one can deny that this is a classic war movie, a classic war movie that makes people think deeply.

It's just that the box office performance was not good.

But what Disney wants to do now is no longer to make money from Pearl Harbor. Even director Michael Bay had to become popular. Pearl Harbor failed.

But if you say that this war movie can become a classic, that is also good. Disney does not lack money-making movies, but it lacks classic movies. If you say that Pearl Harbor can become a classic movie, then even at this time

They have lost money, and they can afford it.

Therefore, what Eisner means is to focus on promoting the historical significance of Pearl Harbor. This is a good reference.

There can be no comparison in everything. If there is a comparison, then under the circumstances, this matter would be quite unacceptable.

The box office of the film exceeded 20 million, which made Eisner very depressed, but now he is even more depressed.

Michael Bay shook his head helplessly and said: "The screening share of Ye Ming's films has been reduced to 13%. Many cinemas are gradually reducing the share of I Can's films, but the share of Ye Ming's films has risen to a quite high level."

The level, at least among foreign films, is the highest, reaching 11%, which is a very dangerous number."

You must know that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's highest screening share back then was only 12%, but now the movie has just started showing for two weeks. Ye Ming's movie screening share has already reached 11%. If we talk about the mid-term

If so, it will be a matter of time before it exceeds 12%.

Eisner found it even more difficult to accept such a thing. He didn't know why the Hollywood blockbuster he planned could lose to Ye Ming in the United States. This is simply incomprehensible.

Michael Bay thought for a while and said: "How about we create some trouble for Ye Ming and complain about him stealing the box office or something. This is also a good excuse."

Box office theft is not unique to China. In the United States, there is also such thing as box office theft. If it is verified, the consequences will be very serious.

Therefore, if a director is accused of stealing box office, once he is found guilty, he will no longer be able to work in Hollywood.

Eisner shook his head and said: "If Ye Ming was just an ordinary director, there would be no problem. It would be impossible for him to overturn the verdict anyway.

But now Ye Ming is not alone. Ye Ming has Huihuang.com and Time Warner.

If it is said that the box office is not good, then Time Warner will not help Ye Ming attentively at this time. After all, Time Warner helped Ye Ming very much when this movie was screened.

However, at this time, because the box office of Ye Ming's movie is very good, Time Warner will also make money. Don't think that Time Warner has a stake in Ye Ming's movie. I don't know.

Do you miss me? If you accuse Ye Ming of stealing box office, who will the Film Association investigate?"

Naturally, Ye Ming needs to be investigated. But as one of the shareholders, Time Warner will definitely be among those investigated.

In this case, Disney will not be the only one suing Ye Ming. Time Warner will not sit back and wait for death. Therefore, it will inevitably lead to a series of lawsuits between the two companies.

Therefore, no matter how you explain such a problem, it is difficult to establish. Michael Bay is a little helpless, and this movie has consumed a lot of his efforts. Regarding such a thing, he is actually

He was completely defeated in front of Ye Ming.

All the newspapers and TV stations were ridiculing Michael Bay for being defeated by Ye Ming, a little newcomer to the film industry.

Seeing Michael Bay's frustrated expression, Eisner said with a smile: "If you lose, you lose. It's not a big deal. It's not that we at Disney have never lost, but this matter may not be a problem for Ye Ming."

That's a good thing.

In Hollywood, if a filmmaker is popular and debuts as an actor, it may not be a big deal. If it is a director who debuts, then it is not a big deal if he takes his time. But if a movie is popular

As a director and an actor, you are breaking the unspoken rules at this time. Therefore, such things are rejected by the Hollywood media.

When Ye Ming arrived in Hollywood, he didn't seem to know the rules very well. If he were to follow the path of an actor step by step, then it's really hard to tell how to handle such a thing."

There is specialization in the arts. This is not something only China knows. In fact, people in the United States also know this. Of course, in China, there is no such thing as denial of film actors becoming directors.

Anyway, as long as you can attract investment, it doesn't matter what you shoot. But things are not like this in Hollywood. At least in the mainstream film media of Hollywood, a director is a director and an actor is an actor. There are very few guest stars.

.

Of course, if you are talking about top filmmakers, such as Spielberg, there is no problem, because they are the directors of v, so this just does not arouse criticism from others.

Why, because Will Smith has basically reached the pinnacle as an actor.

Therefore, if people do this on their own, it means venturing into other fields. A top movie star naturally has his own privileges.

And Ye Ming, at this time, is not a top star. He is at best a newcomer in Hollywood, and at most he is just a Chinese actor with a little bit of game fame.

If we divide it according to the level of Chinese movies, then Ye Ming's current status in Hollywood is that he is only a second- and third-tier actor, playing a supporting role or something.

There is no problem with this, but Ye Ming has not reached the top, and no one denies this.

Therefore, Ye Ming became a director and an actor, which was not allowed by Hollywood.

If Ye Ming is saying that under such a situation, if you want to have a better development in Hollywood, you must give up one. If you want to be a director, then concentrate on being a director. If you want to be an actor, then in this way

When I was a kid, I had to concentrate on being an actor.

On this matter, Eisner took a longer-term view.

Although Ye Ming's movies are performing very well now, Ye Ming has already entered the attention of the Hollywood entertainment circle.

Therefore, it is very important to know what Ye Ming's next movie will be like, whether he will be a director and an actor.

The rules of Hollywood cannot be challenged casually. If someone doesn't want to develop in Hollywood, there are certain things he must do.

For example, whether you want to be a director or an actor, this is a problem that must be solved.

Therefore, in this case, Ye Ming's movie box office is very prosperous, but the problems he faces are also very serious. In Hollywood, at least it is not the time when Ye Ming wants to challenge the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.

.

Therefore, at this moment, Disney can also watch Ye Ming's jokes from the sidelines, and at least Eisner can gloat from the sidelines. (To be continued.)
