"Back." Lu Fang saw Chen Mubai coming in, looked at him and said with a smile.
"You're a lot darker. You worked hard in Africa."
Lu Fang quickly got up and made Chen Mubai a cup of tea, and the two of them sat down on the sofa.
"You put a lot of effort into this film!" Lu Fang sighed as he looked at Chen Mubai as if he was a different person.
First of all, his skin has become much darker, but the flesh on his body feels much firmer. Then his hair has become a short cut, and the bangs that were a bit broken before have been lost.
However, with such a short haircut, he looks a bit like a promiscuous person, but he is very handsome and his whole temperament has changed.
"You put a lot of effort into the movie "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", and now the box office is very high. Now you have also put in so much effort into "Operation Red Sea", and it seems that the box office will not be much worse.
." Lu Fang said jokingly.
The box office of Nezha has already reached 3.5 billion. It has only been a month, and this result is still very rapid!
When "Infernal Affairs" was released, it only had this box office, and the initial sensation and response caused by "Infernal Affairs" was no worse than Nezha!
It can be seen that "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is not only lethal to adults, but also to children.
The reason why this movie has such high momentum is because many people bring their children to watch it. In the eyes of many people, there is not much difference between anime and animation, and children can watch it.
This is the difference between "Infernal Affairs" and Nezha, and this is the fundamental reason for the box office gap between the two.
The box office estimate previously given by the outside world for "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" was 3.5 billion. At first, it seemed that this result was already very high, but now it still exceeds everyone's expectations.
It has received a box office of 3.5 billion in one month, and there is still half a month to go, and the box office will still increase. This movie will become the most popular movie of Mubai Entertainment!
Chen Mubai's first large-scale animation movie was a huge success, and as a result, capital noticed the hidden interests of the animation industry, and everyone began to get involved in this industry.
Chen Mubai's success has changed the audience's prejudice against Chinese comics. It is not that China cannot make excellent animations. At the same time, many capitals have seen that animation is not unable to make money. Rather, it requires quality. It allows them to see the Chinese people's attitude towards Chinese comics.
Attitude and expectations!
The two movies "Infernal Affairs" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" were huge hits, with box office both exceeding 3 billion? Chen Mubai's ability once again amazed everyone.
Are these two works produced by him? This also makes everyone look forward to the movie "Operation Red Sea" even more.
The first two works were a great success, and the new work received state support and some help in filming? This made some people have to look forward to this movie.
Especially before the filming started, the topic was full of gimmicks. Is this movie a war movie? Is it different from previous theme movies? It was shot by Chen Mubai, which can make everyone look forward to it.
There is no way, his works are guaranteed, how many movies are hits? The quality is very high? Everyone has trust in him.
However, compared to the box office of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World", "Operation Red Sea" may not be able to catch up, after all, the box office data is too high.
Although Chen Mubai put a lot of effort into these two movies, it doesn’t mean that the movies will be a hit just because of this!
There are many works that have put the director's life-long efforts into them, but they still fail? The audience's taste cannot be determined.
Lu Fang's words were just a joke. He didn't really think that "Operation Red Sea" could compete with Nezha? He didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes.
Three consecutive movies with a box office of over 3 billion? Lu Fang doesn’t dare to think so? This is too exaggerated!
"Maybe, haha." Chen Mubai smiled.
In the previous life, the box office of these two movies was very high and they were considered big hits. Maybe it will be the same here?
"I don't have any extravagant hopes for this." Lu Fang didn't pay attention to Chen Mubai's attitude, just assuming that he was what he thought.
"Let's see if we can hit another 500 million box office in the last half month, so that the movie can break the 4 billion mark. That will be a new milestone!" Lu Fang looked forward to it with a golden glow.
There is a huge gap in the box office for each RMB 100 million, let alone one billion. It is especially difficult to increase the box office later. From 35 to 40, this 500 million gap is like a chasm, and it is not that easy to cross.
"Everything we can do has been done. It depends on fate. Let's not talk about this." Lu Fang said: "Weiyu, the cooperation between your father-in-law and us is already in progress. The United States has acquired many hospitals.
line, and also acquired a sizable film and television company.”
In the past few months, although they have not exposed their cooperation publicly, they have taken necessary actions in private, and everything is progressing in an orderly manner.
"We will wait and see the response after "Operation Red Sea" is released. If possible, it can be released overseas together with "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World"."
They have acquired some theater chains, and even if no other theater chain introduces their works, they can still use their own channels and naturally have no worries about not being able to release them.
Generally, movies are released in their own region first. If the response is good, they will be introduced to other regions. After all, the quality of the movie determines whether the audience is willing to pay for it.
Hollywood is not included in this list. Some movies may not have a good response in Europe and the United States, and the box office may not be good, but as a Hollywood blockbuster, its appeal is still very strong, and it can still block a lot of box office in China and other regions.
This relies on the reputation of Hollywood and the special effects of the movie. Even if many people know that the plot is not good, they will watch the movie because of the special effects and think it is worth it.
The appeal of Hollywood is too strong. It is the world's largest and most powerful movie dream factory. The production of movies is too skilled, and the overall quality is higher than that of other countries, so everyone is willing to pay for it.
Nezha's box office and reputation have exploded. You can definitely try to release it abroad, but I don't know if they will catch a cold. After all, it is based on a Chinese classical myth. If you don't understand, you won't understand. They don't understand it like the Chinese.
.
But there shouldn’t be much of a problem. It’s okay to treat it as a separate story. It’s equivalent to adapting it into a separate story.
"What about the construction of the website?" Chen Mubai asked.
Lu Fang replied: "It's all completed. There is no large-scale publicity yet, otherwise it will be exposed. We will start after you finish "Operation Red Sea". Aren't you going to make a TV series for foreigners to watch at that time?"
"It should be difficult for our Chinese works to attract the attention of foreigners. There must be something that interests them. When your movie is released in the United States, we will see if it can attract a group of foreign audiences."
The most difficult thing to do in the early stage is to attract traffic and attract works that foreigners are interested in. As long as these two points are achieved, the possibility of launching a website is very high.
"Okay, buy more copyrights of excellent foreign movies. If foreign audiences can find some classic movies on our website, it can also cultivate user habits."
Chen Mubai said thoughtfully: "There are still two months left, no problem."
It's August now, and "Operation Red Sea" will be released in October, so two months are enough. That's enough time.
The axis of cooperation between the three parties lies in Chen Mubai, and it is also because of him that he can build this platform. Everything is ready and all we need is the east wind.
At that time, it will depend on whether the wind can blow.
After Chen Mubai and Lu Fang finished talking, they rested for two days to adjust to the time difference, and then immediately started working on post-production.
"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is about to be released, and the final box office is set at 4 billion!
It almost broke through the 4 billion mark, and Mubai Entertainment specially held a celebration banquet for this purpose. The movie was a huge success, and it was also an anime movie worthy of being included in film and television!
Regardless of the quality, reputation or the popularity caused by this animated movie and the meaning behind it, this movie will eventually be remembered by people, and it is also the day of the light and rise of national comics!
Many companies have set up animation movie schedules and want to take a piece of the cake.
...
After more than a month of post-production, "Operation Red Sea" has been completed.
It will be released in half a month, and a large-scale promotion is now underway.
Less than half a month ago, the trailer for "Operation Red Sea" was released. Everyone was stunned by the cool gun battle scenes and the scenes of battlefields littered with corpses.
Because of the realistic nature of war, this trailer caused a huge discussion. Everyone saw a movie with a different main theme, and it became very popular. They all expressed that they would go see this movie on National Day.
The quality of a movie can be seen to a certain extent from its trailer. The trailer of "Operation Red Sea" is very good. Everyone believes that Chen Mubai is not the kind of person who cuts all the wonderful scenes into the trailer.
Then this movie is naturally worth looking forward to.
This time, Micro Entertainment began to help "Operation Red Sea" promote and expand its influence.
The success or failure of this movie is related to their cooperation in the international market. Micro Entertainment also hopes that the more successful this movie is, the better.
Because it is a gift film, many news media are riding on this wave of traffic and popularity. It is also a main theme movie, and everyone has reported on it. This has caused the popularity of "Operation Red Sea" to skyrocket, far exceeding any previous gift film.
.
Everyone is looking forward to this movie. During the promotion, Chen Mubai, Qian Duoduo, Shang Ran and others worked separately to promote it.
Everyone has seen the changes of Chen Mubai and others, especially Chen Mubai's short haircut is particularly eye-catching. Everyone did not expect that Chen Mubai would be so handsome even with a short haircut!
When he appeared with a buzz cut, the fans at the scene screamed in surprise. No one thought that Chen Mubai would still look so good even after shaving his head!
In the past, his forehead was blocked by short hair, making him look very gentle. Now that he has a shorter haircut, his facial features are more prominent and appear more three-dimensional. His whole temperament has also changed, becoming full of energy and a bit of a ruffian.
!
Then his skin tone became much darker. He talked a lot about interesting things during the shooting, and also explained why he was so dark and why his hair became so short.
He specifically talked about the sacrifices Shang Ran had made for this drama. Shang Ran's short hair was also a hot topic. It is not easy for a female artist to achieve this level. Her dedication left a deep impression on everyone.
Through intensive publicity, everyone learned more about the story behind the filming of "Operation Red Sea", which also made everyone more interested in the film.
The most intuitive data is that the pre-sale box office of the movie has surged a lot. From the initial 50 million pre-sales, it has soared to 140 million, and this figure is still rising!
The movie's publicity campaign was massive, and its offline promotional activities were also very successful, making the movie very popular.
The time came in the early morning of September 30th.
