Chapter 436: Does Your Face Hurt?

To put it bluntly, the major theaters in the United States just look down on oriental movies and look down on Nanli, in their minds, only rice movies are the best movies in the world.

In the end, this matter has been deadlocked, and those theaters in the United States are unwilling to make concessions, and they are unwilling to let Nanli's film be released in their theaters.

It wasn't until the box office of "Death is Coming" came out at the box office on the premiere day in the East that the attitude of the major theaters in the United States improved slightly, and after many negotiations, 8% of the film schedule was agreed to Nanli's new movie.

Later, no matter how Wang Conghua negotiated with the major theaters in the United States, they were unwilling to make any changes.

Wang Conghua also told Nan Li about this matter, and there was no need to hide this kind of thing between the two of them.

At that time, Nan Li's face was a little unpleasant, but he didn't say anything, he knew that Wang Conghua had done his best.

If it weren't for Wang Conghua coming forward in person, I'm afraid that this 8% of the film schedule may not be able to be negotiated.

After the two chatted a few more words, they hung up the phone, and then saw Nan Li muttering alone: "Is the initial filming volume of eight percent? It's really arrogant and prejudiced to us in the East, but this time, I'm afraid you will be shocked!"

Soon, the world premiere of the movie "Death is Coming" began.

Cake Country.

"Oriental people can make movies, and they can make international horror blockbusters? It's really fresh, look at it!"

"It turns out that there are international movies in the East, and it's the first time I've heard of it. ”

"This is called Nanli, it should be the Oriental man who fought with the director of the United States, Smith, right? I didn't expect him to really shoot an international horror blockbuster, but I don't know how the film works, forget it, reluctantly go and see it!"

............

Nile country.

"I heard that the movie Dongfang has caused a huge sensation in China, and the domestic box office of Dongfang has directly crushed all the movies in the United States, which is really rare. ”

"Alas, Ah San upstairs, you don't know, the reason why Nanli was able to win the work of the director of the rice country was entirely because there was a stupid hat director named Smith before, who talked nonsense in public, which caused the Oriental people to resist all the time, which made the Oriental man named Nanli win by luck. ”

"That's the case, then I'm afraid that this Oriental movie won't be able to resist for long, and I believe that soon the box office will be overtaken by American movies. ”

When Ah Sanmen said these words, they didn't know how terrible the box office on the premiere day of Nan Li's movie was, and they thought that Nan Li was just a fluke win.

Most foreign countries basically think like this, in their opinion, it is completely impossible for oriental movies to be watched against American movies, and the current situation is only an extremely rare special case.

However, if they could know how much the box office of the No. 1 "Death is Coming" is, and how much of the second-ranked American movie is shaking, they will definitely not have this kind of idea.

Of course, in the entire foreign market, it is Mi Guo who looks down on Nanli movies the most, and the relevant government agencies don't bother to pay attention to what is going on in Nanli.

However, it is precisely for this reason that Nanli's movie can be released in the United States, otherwise it will be a big trouble.

After all, such a proud rice country must not be able to stand Nan Li's words before saying that they were thousands of streets away from their rice movies.

However, if it is an ignorant and nameless person who says crazy things, they are too lazy to pay attention to it, and Nanli is the ignorant and nameless person in their eyes.

Soon, the first round of global broadcasts on the premiere day has ended.

Originally, I just had the attitude of watching the excitement and tried to see the foreigners who dared to shoot movies with the directors of the United States, but after watching the movie, they were all stunned!

Cake Country: ", I actually have a pen in my hand and this terrible thing, I won't die, right?"

Nile Country: "This movie, it's really amazing, when did the Oriental film production level be so high, and this level of horror movies can be filmed!

Stan Guo: "It's amazing to my Dongfang brothers, I just want to slap them hard, and make their pretentious guys arrogant, I want to see who beats who in the end!"

Mi Guo: "I'm really convinced of you, you can even watch this kind of movie in the East, it's just a waste of time, okay?

Because the citizens of our country never watch garbage movies outside of the United States. And Nanli's movie is one of those garbage movies!"

Maple Leaf Country: "Today is about to end, and the global box office will almost come out soon, and this matter should be known soon!"

Time flies quickly, and it is rare that many people around the world today are paying attention to the box office of a movie shot by an Oriental man on the world premiere day.

Such a situation is extremely rare, and there are very few international blockbusters in the East that appear on the world stage, let alone attract the attention of so many countries.

An hour, half an hour, the time has finally come, and the box office for the world premiere of "Death is Coming" has finally been updated!

Cake Country: "The Grim Reaper is Coming" (East), box office: $1 million.

Nile Country: "Death Is Coming" (East), box office: $1.1 million.

United States: "The Grim Reaper is Coming" (East), box office: $300,000!

............

Overseas: "The Grim Reaper is Coming" (Toutou), box office: $11 million. ”

When this list appeared, countless people around the world gloated and discussed it on the world forum.

"Hahaha, this Oriental still wants to fight in the ring with the director of the United States, I really don't know how thick the sky is!

"This Oriental is really courageous, the overseas market can have 11 million US dollars on the first day, although it is not as high as the overseas box office of the Chinese movie, but it is not bad. ”

"Actually...... Actually, I want to say, you must not have seen this movie yet, I suggest you go and see it!"

After Nanli saw the premiere box office in the overseas market, his mood did not fluctuate much.

He didn't care much about the box office on the first day of the premiere, he was more concerned about the full capacity of the overseas films that Wang Conghua had just sent him.

He found that the further he went, the higher the full attendance of the film, the more people came to watch it, and there were even several theaters that were increasing the number of films scheduled for his films!

After seeing this data, Nanli had a bottom in his heart.

Compared with the domestic box office, the overseas box office is the focus of this movie, and it is also the key to this matter, which is not about how much money is made, but about oriental films, about breathing.

Nan Li's "Death is Coming" is an international horror blockbuster, and only with extremely outstanding results in the overseas market can it really show the rise of oriental films, and the domestic box office is just a basic reference.

No matter how high the domestic box office is, it will not represent the overseas box office, and people from other countries will still say that they are not good at oriental movies and cannot go abroad.

Just when countless Oriental people were anxiously waiting, with the refresh of the overseas box office list, the Internet was all fried in an instant!

"Damn, what's the situation, how can it be such a low overseas box office? Isn't it okay to make such a classic movie?"

"11 million dollars? That's a little too low! It's only one-tenth of the domestic box office on its premiere day! Are these foreigners stupid? Can't they appreciate the work?"

"It's over, can't even Nan Lida go out in person?

"Don't panic, everyone, on the first day of the premiere, it's nothing, how much the overseas box office is in the end, it depends on the follow-up situation, and it is said that the number of overseas films this time is also very high, most of them are only about 15%, so the box office on the first day is low, which is understandable!"

"That being said, the box office on the first day of the premiere is low, and according to common sense, this is a signal, which shows that the overseas market does not accept international films shot in the East, and the final box office is not expected to be high!"

There is everything said on the Internet, and some people support Nan Li, firmly believing that he will definitely be able to open a channel for Dahua's overseas film market.

However, most people still have a pessimistic attitude, and the box office on the opening day can really say too much.

Just like the high box office on the first day of the premiere of the domestic "Death is Coming", it has already been decided that this movie will inevitably become a hit in China and completely crush other movies.

However, the box office on the opening day was low, which means that the final box office of the film will also be low.

In order to maintain revenue, many theaters will reduce the number of films with low box office, or even directly shorten the release time, so that the movie will be removed from the shelves in advance, which will make the box office of this movie even lower and scary.

This kind of thing is not unprecedented.

The reason why so many famous directors in China dare not shoot international blockbusters is because someone has tried before and wanted to open up overseas markets, but within a few days of its release, due to the small number of moviegoers and the low box office, the movie was removed from the shelves ahead of schedule, and with the ridicule of countless countries, he hid back in the East.

Now Nanli's film is also the same as those films made by famous oriental directors at the beginning, the box office on the opening day is very low, and the total box office in the entire overseas market is only 11 million US dollars, that is, about one-tenth of the domestic box office on the first day of the premiere.

Such a situation will naturally make the people pessimistic about the overseas box office of the film.

Most people in the industry in China think like this, and even some stars and directors who have good friends with Nan Li specially called to comfort Nan Li, telling him that nothing can be successful at one time, saying that he is young and still has a chance.

Nan Li could only shake his head and respond helplessly: "Hehe!"

In fact, he is not pessimistic at all, and it can be seen from the full capacity of the overseas film sent to him by Wang Conghua that this film is showing an upward trend.

From the beginning, no one watched it, and in the end, it was gradually full, which shows that the overseas market is accepting this movie, which is also expected by Nanli, and now it is time to wait.

The low box office on the overseas premiere day is expected, after all, the pride and prejudice of the overseas market towards the East is not a matter of one or two days, and it is impossible to break this prejudice so easily, it will take a certain amount of time.

However, he believes in the power of this movie, and this slump will not last long.

............

America.

Smith and several other Mi directors, who originally suffered defeat in the East, all hid at home with a disgraced face and did not dare to see anyone.

But after seeing the total box office of Nanli's overseas premiere day, several people instantly seemed to come to life, and once again attended various occasions in suits and leather shoes.

They did suffer defeat in the Eastern Market, but Nanli hit the streets in the entire overseas market, and in comparison, they lost far less face than Nanli.

At least the total overseas box office on their premiere day was much higher than that of Nan Li's film, and at the same time, they also attributed the failure of the East to the fact that the xenophobic thinking of the Oriental people was too serious, not the reason for their film.

Even several of their directors attended an interview with them about the box office failure of the Oriental film and what they thought of Nanli Film.

This is an interview with a local TV in the United States, the audience is not large, and the reason why such a special interview was filmed is to take advantage of the fact that this matter still has a certain degree of heat, and the attention of Bobo audiences.

During the interview, the host asked several directors of the United States what they thought of Nanli's movie, and his expectations for the overseas box office of this film.

Several directors were all holding back, and now they finally have the opportunity to mock Nan Li, and they are all very excited.

Smith: "That Oriental man is too good at demagogizing the people, which makes our American movies suffer a setback in the East."

But the eyes of the masses are bright, do you see it, the Oriental box office on the opening day is only 11 million US dollars, and even if I remove the Oriental box office, the entire overseas box office is 26 million US dollars, this is the pros and cons of the two movies!

As for the box office of that oriental's movie, I expected it to reach 100 million US dollars, and I only need three or four days to reach this number at the overseas box office!"

Several other directors interviewed also made similar statements, and they were extremely unoptimistic about the overseas box office of Nanli Films!

Not long after the interview ended, the overseas market screening of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" ended the next day, and the overseas box office data was updated.

Cake Country: "The Grim Reaper is Coming" (East), box office: $3 million.

Nile Country: "Death Is Coming" (East), box office: $2.5 million.

United States: "The Grim Reaper is Coming" (East), box office: $1.5 million!

............

Overseas: "The Grim Reaper" (East), total box office: $27 million!

Does your face hurt?

How does it feel like to have a sore face?

When I saw the overseas box office of "The Grim Reaper" the next day, several American directors interviewed had a deep understanding.
