Chapter 444: Entering the international arena is half the battle
Can a good movie win an award?
Definitely not!
It can only be said that good movies are easier to win awards.
Is Transformers a good movie?
Not many people deny it. But this kind of film, the chance of winning an award is very low.
Of course, the best acoustics, best visuals and other technical awards, the odds of winning the award are very high. can be like actor awards, director awards, and scripts, it's not easy to win awards.
Zhang Ke and Jiang Yun didn't say a word, and they didn't leave immediately. In addition to them, the other filmmakers present also had a heated discussion.
"Let's go!"
Huang Cheng glanced at Zhang Pu, who was surrounded by media reporters, and then said to Huang Ze beside him.
Huang Ze nodded, he was still a little confused in his head at this time.
They also went to see "Jurassic Park" and were shocked by the production level of Oriental DreamWorks.
But after watching this "Transformers", Huang Ze was even more shocked.
This level of commercial blockbusters, even Hollywood is probably the top.
When did Chinese movies become so powerful?
Am I not keeping up with the times, or is Orange Entertainment a little out of step with the times?
And what about Huangcheng?
After reading it, I suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
Oriental DreamWorks has left Orange Entertainment far behind!
Perhaps, Oriental DreamWorks has left behind all domestic film and television companies.
The company is moving forward too fast, right?
"That's the special effects that commercial blockbusters should have. Xu Ming said with a smile.
"That's probably the end of Hollywood's commercial blockbusters. Yuan Hong said with some sighs, "Do you think we are old?"
"Whether you're old or not, I don't know. Xu Ming said with a smile, "Anyway, I'm not old yet." ”
"Are you disobedient?" Yuan Hong pouted, "Older than me." ”
"I feel like I'm probably going to post it. Chen Zhen suddenly said.
Yuan Hong and the others were stunned for a moment, and then came back to their senses.
Chen Zhen not only starred in this film, but also participated in the investment.
"Do you think this film can break the box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2"?" Chen Zhen then asked.
"I'm afraid it's not easy at the domestic box office. Xu Ming shook his head and said, "The global box office will definitely be broken." ”
Isn't that nonsense?
"Wolf Warrior 2" is cold abroad, who doesn't know?
"You should be able to become a 10 billion actor with this film. Yuan Hong said with a smile.
Chen Zhen pouted.
He is about to retire, but the box office really hasn't broken 10 billion, compared with Zhang Chu's young people, it's really ......
He was a Hollywood A-list star!
"It's not uncommon to have tens of billions of actors now. Xu Ming said with a smile, "There are several signed artists in Oriental DreamWorks. ”
"What about them?" said Yuan Hong.
Except they don't seem to be.
Chen Zhen, Li Zhen and others seem to be a little worse.
"I'm afraid Oriental DreamWorks is really going to go abroad. Xu Ming said.
"It's a good thing!" Chen Zhen said with a smile, "Huaxia can also be regarded as a world-class film and television company." ”
"I've heard that Oriental DreamWorks seems to be preparing to buy a Hollywood film and television company, and now it's almost talkative. Yuan Hong said.
"I've also heard people talk about it, as if it is a joint investment with Wanhui Group. Xu Ming nodded and said, "The acquisition of Hollywood film and television companies can also reduce a few restrictions." ”
If Oriental DreamWorks acquires a Hollywood film and television company, they will naturally be able to see what the benefits are.
For example, in the future, the distribution of Chinese films in North America and other places will be much easier.
The people gradually left, and Zhang Pu left immediately after sending the reporter.
"Are you still running publicity?"
On the way back, Xu Jiahui asked.
"In the later publicity, I only participated occasionally. Zhang Pu said with a smile.
The promotion of the movie will definitely have to run, but Zhang Pu will not be as active as before the release.
His main focus now is still on "Kung Fu Panda".
"Your animated movie was released during the Spring Festival, so you must have participated in the promotion?" Xu Jiahui then asked.
Over the years, Zhang Pu's films have deliberately avoided the Spring Festival.
"I should be involved before the release, but I shouldn't need to use it after the release. Zhang Pu said.
Animated films are definitely different from other types of movie promotion.
Xu Jiahui nodded and did not continue the topic.
In fact, even if Zhang Pu doesn't have a film released during the Spring Festival, they won't be able to travel abroad during the Spring Festival as planned.
Plans can't keep up with the changes.
The next day, Zhang Pu went to the company to continue the production of "Kung Fu Panda".
"Do you guess how much the first day box office of "Transformers" in China is?" Jiang Xingwen looked at Zhang Pu with a smile.
"Look at your smile, it shouldn't be low!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
For the domestic box office, Zhang Pu is still a little confident.
The domestic market is large, the main creator has strong box office appeal, and the film schedule is so high.
Even if it is a bad movie, the box office on the first day will definitely not be bad. Fans' expectations for this film are very high.
Of course, the final box office of the film depends on its reputation. Needless to say, the film's reputation is absolutely excellent.
This film has been touted by many fans.
As for the critics, although it is not unanimously praised, it is also more praise than criticism.
There aren't many people who pick on thorns.
Even if this film is criticized as too "popcorn" and meaningless, it is difficult to criticize the production level of the film.
"Breaking 500 million, setting a new single-day box office record. Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.
"How much?" Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard.
His estimate is only 400 million.
Now it seems to be a little more than he imagined!
In his previous life, which film was the domestic single-day box office record, Zhang Pu really didn't know. What is the single-day box office record of the film, Zhang Pu is not clear.
However, he knew that the box office of a certain Spring Festival stall seemed to be nearly 1.5 billion in one day.
And the market volume of this world is much larger.
Then according to the single-day box office of 1.5 billion, "Transformers" is nearly 40% of the films, accounting for two-fifths.
The single-day box office exceeded 500 million, and it seems that there is nothing impossible.
"Nearly 510 million!" Jiang Xingwen said with a smile, "Perhaps, this film can set a record of breaking one billion in two days." ”
Is this possible?
Yes!
The second day of the film's release is a weekend, and the flow of moviegoers is greater, and the word-of-mouth fermentation will definitely arouse the desire of more fans to watch the movie.
"It's a bit unexpected!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
This box office was indeed a bit unexpected by Zhang Pu.
The size of the Chinese film market in this world is much larger than that of the previous life.
Although there are not many box offices that break 2 billion or 3 billion, there are many box offices that break 1 billion.
Nowadays, it is no news which movie breaks the box office of one billion.
But it is still very amazing to break the box office of one billion at such a fast speed.
broke one billion in two days, so what about the total box office?
As long as the box office does not fall off a cliff, I am afraid that it will always be amazing.
"Now it depends on the box office situation in North America and other places. Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.
He has a lot of faith in Transformers.
This film has detonated in China, and no matter whether you like this film or not, you have to admit that the production level of this film is definitely not inferior to any commercial blockbuster in Hollywood.
It's a movie that can compete with Hollywood's top productions.
This is a breakthrough in Chinese cinema.
Why did "Wolf Warrior 2" create a miracle at the box office?
In addition to the patriotism in it and the feelings of a great country infecting fans, it is not unrelated to the fact that the production level of the film is comparable to that of Hollywood blockbusters.
Action movies are what Chinese films are good at, and domestic fans are still pleasantly surprised by the fact that they shoot films that are comparable to Hollywood blockbusters. So, what about the sci-fi film "Transformers"?
Science fiction films have always been a weakness of Chinese films.
Even though Wen Hao directed "The Wandering Earth" and "Jurassic Park" before, it still did not change the embarrassing impression of Chinese science fiction films in the minds of global fans.
What's more, they are not the same genre as Transformers.
There are also many types of science fiction films.
"Transformers" is undoubtedly commendable in terms of production level and creativity.
How can such a film be cold overseas?
"Transformers" should also be liked by overseas fans, but compared with domestic fans, there is less excitement and excitement to raise eyebrows.
Soon, the box office on the first day overseas was transmitted back to China.
Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia and other countries and regions, most of the first-day box office won the first-day box office.
In these countries and regions, Zhang Pu's films have long opened up the market.
The explosion of the film is also expected.
What really attracts attention is the North American box office.
Zhang Pu's success in entering the international market actually falls on the North American film market.
It's just that the first-day box office in North America is not good, but it is not bad.
More than 30 million US dollars, won the runner-up in the single-day box office.
A Hollywood blockbuster released at the same time was crushed under him.
And that film has been released in many more theaters than "Transformers".
"It's not bad!" Jiang Xingwen said, "The number of theaters released in North America will increase a lot, and the box office will increase on the second day of release, just like "Jurassic Park", it may not be impossible." ”
"Jurassic Park" counterattacked all the way, and once occupied the throne of the single-day box office champion in North America.
The box office of "Transformers" on the first day does not seem to be very good, but the popularity is no worse than that of "Jurassic Park".
The box office counterattack is not a guess.
"Science fiction is what Hollywood is good at. Zhang Pu said with a smile, ""Transformers" can win more than $30 million at the first-day box office when there are not many theaters, which is still good. ”
It's just good, not good.
Of course, this is for Zhang Pu, if it is a different director and a production company, such a box office, I am afraid it will be a surprise.
However, Zhang Pu is quite satisfied with this box office.
His international foray into the world is half the battle.
As for whether it is successful, it depends on the final box office of the film, as well as its impact.
