"At present, Ocean's Eleven has been the most affected, with Robin Hood, the prince of thieves, and the white-headed detective in the back, these two movies have greatly diluted the number of Ocean's moviegoers, and it is estimated that the number of moviegoers affected by these two movies is at least thirty percent." Shi Nansheng on the other end of the phone reported with a solemn expression.

"So much of an impact?" Qiao Feng was shocked.

Robert Egger had reported to him before, and he knew that Arhat Eleven had been affected a lot, so he was already prepared, but hearing Shi Nansheng's more detailed report still made him a little unexpected.

"The influence of the bald detective on us is actually good.The style of this movie is similar to Xingzai's movie.It's all nonsensical and funny.Jokes are everywhere.Near the next hit movies,Hot events、Topic characters are satirized all over again.It can be said that the art of spoofing is brought to the extreme.Every small shot makes people laugh.

This type of comedy has a large audience in North America, and the first part of the Bald Detective ranked eighth in 1988 with a box office of more than 80 million US dollars, which will attract a large number of audiences to buy tickets and enter the cinema.

But, unlike in Hong Kong, comedy movies in North America don't have the largest audience for all moviegoers."

"Well, at least in the past ten years, except for Home Alone as a comedy, which has won the annual box office championship in North America, no other comedy film has won this award." Qiao Feng nodded and answered.

In Hong Kong, the annual box office champion is a comedy film most of the time, even if it is Cheng Long's kung fu movie, in fact, comedy accounts for a large part of the proportion.

Not to mention the annual box office champion, it is the top ten of the annual box office, and more than half of them are basically comedy movies.

But in the United States, the weight of comedy movies is far worse than that of Hong Kong.

"Therefore, the results of this second part were already mentally prepared when we selected the schedule.

Although the cast of Ocean's Eleven is still too new to North American audiences to sit in a movie theater and count the stars.

But in addition to the main all-star cast, this movie has a more important point to watch.

That's a hearty high-IQ matchup.

Even if you can't give the North American audience a star-studded feeling, even if the North American audience is blind, it doesn't matter if you can't see that Brother Chu is unmistakably handsome.

With the smooth rhythm of the movie, all kinds of funny humor of the plot, a number of characters with distinct personalities, climactic suspense, and meticulous theft methods, it is enough to attract the attention of North American audiences.

And Fa Ge and Honggu are also famous in North America.

Based on this, we are not afraid of the Bald Headed Detective."

When he said the last sentence, Shi Nansheng was very imposing.

"But, you didn't expect Robin Hood, the Prince of Thieves, to be so capable of fighting." Qiao Feng immediately gave Shi Nansheng a slap on the head.

"yes, we really didn't expect it to be so good." Shi Nansheng's momentum suddenly disappeared, and his voice even carried some grievances.

"Originally, we thought that Robin Hood, the Prince of Thieves, had an audience base, but Ocean's Eleven also had an audience base, even if it was worse than it......., it was not much worse.

"I didn't think that what you thought was just an ordinary legendary hero, but it turned out that people's popularity in Europe and the United States can be comparable to Sun Wukong's popularity in our China, right?" Qiao Feng interrupted and asked.

"Yes, even though I have been studying and living in England for ten years, I still underestimate Robin Hood's fame." Shi Nansheng blamed himself a little, but he was also a little angry: "However, as a Chinese, I don't know much, and they always understand it.

"I can't blame them for that, because there's really nothing to target for this subject matter alone." Qiao Feng did not follow Shi Nansheng to accuse Robert Iger and other MGM executives.

Because as he said, for the super IP of Robin Hood, there is basically nothing for people to attack, just like Monkey King.

Even, filming Monkey King, you can also accuse the actor of being inappropriate.

However, Robin Hood, there is no unified understanding of what this man looks like.

Whether you are handsome or average, it is actually acceptable.

The theme of Robin Hood, the Prince of Thieves, has nothing to discredit him, and even the theme of the family is closely related to the pulse of the times, anti-racism, anti-sexism, advocating diversity and inclusion, which is absolutely politically correct in this era.

In the face of such a movie, the only thing you can do is to find loopholes in the plot, rhythm problems or black material of the cast and crew, etc.

Of course, the main thing is to pray that the movie itself is made in general, even very badly and badly.

Let's compare it with a well-known mythological figure in China.

How many movies like Journey to the West have been made?

But there are a few good films that can shoot the characters in it, especially Sun Wukong.

Big IP has big IP good, and the natural audience is more.

Even if you shoot badly, you can trick many people into buying tickets at the beginning, and the box office results will not be too bad.

But as long as the shooting is not good, then the results will be like that.

Robin Hood's earliest film and television work was Robin Hood in 1912, then in 1913, 1922, 1973 there were films of the same name, and then in the early 80s the BBC made four more TV series.

These film and television works also have various ways of interpretation, such as talking and joking.

But what about the results?

Some are okay, some are unsatisfactory, but overall they are so-so.

Why is this happening?

Isn't Robin Hood a big IP?

Yes, Robin Hood is a big IP, but people want to watch Robin Hood based on a good story, not just to see a Robin Hood who knows that someone else is just a Robin Hood name.

Cinema is an art of light and shadow.

But at the end of the day, the core of a movie is storytelling.

Good stories are sparse at the box office a lot, even a lot.

But there aren't many bad stories that are good at the box office.

For the current Robin Hood, the prince of thieves, its box office results are very good, of course, the reason why it is a big IP.

But in the final analysis, it is because the story of this movie is well told, and the audience can watch it, and they are relatively satisfied.

So, Qiao Feng said that he couldn't blame Egger for them.

Egger and they can't change people's understanding of Robin Hood, nor can they change the screenwriter and director's shaping of the plot and characters.

What they can do is to dig out more movie deficiencies, actors' black materials, etc., in the case of established facts, to influence the audience's viewing choices as much as possible.

And these Iger they're all doing.

Robin Hood, the prince of thieves, is very powerful, does Qiao Feng know?

Of course he knew.

Even Qiao Feng knew that Robin Hood, the original time and space Rogue Prince, was the second best movie this year after Terminator 2 and ranked second at the annual box office in North America.

But why did Qiao Feng agree to release Arhat Eleven between Robin Hood, the Prince of Thieves, and Bald Detective 2?

It's not because in the face of Robin Hood, the prince of thieves, Qiao Feng himself feels that there is no good way to deal with it.

If it is not released in this schedule, it will have to be adjusted to another schedule.

But there are other movies released by other schedule companies.

Or adjust to the next year after the release in theaters.

But at that time, there were still other film arrangements.

And if you don't adjust the schedule, it will be released in the most important summer file of the year, and it will definitely be on the same page as a blockbuster.

This is true for any year.

In that case, what else to adjust.

It's better to be released on this schedule.

Although several rival films are quite hard.

But our eleven arhats are not weak, no.

We are affected, and other movies are also affected by us.

What's more, MGM also has a Terminator 2 pressing formation.

Sci-fi action movies, this is the most important film genre in North America, and the movie audience is the largest, especially in the summer when students are on vacation and have a lot of time.

There are eleven Oceans that attract the firepower of other movies, and the Terminator 2, which is released later, can be better and bigger outburst is not.
