Chapter 276: Interests are moving
Zhang Pu has never been worried about whether "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will recover its costs, and there are doubts about whether the domestic box office alone can recover its costs.
This martial arts film does not have heroes and knights that make people's blood boil, nor does it have the heroic spirit of smiling and proud of the rivers and lakes like ordinary martial arts films, but instead it is a deep contemplation and subtlety to find the humanistic connotation of the rivers and lakes.
This is obviously very different from previous martial arts films.
Whether domestic fans can accept it, Zhang Pu is not sure.
The box office on the first day was amazing, and I can't see this.
However, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" broke the domestic single-day box office record on the first day, which still caused a lot of discussion.
And when the foreign box office came back, it was suddenly overshadowed.
Especially the North American box office really shocked many people.
The single-day box office directly exceeded 30 million US dollars, winning the single-day box office champion in North America.
This is definitely the best box office result of a Chinese-language film in North America.
not only broke 30 million US dollars, but also won the single-day box office championship.
This seems unimaginable to many.
Because there are very few Chinese-language films that have exceeded $30 million at the North American box office, let alone topped the single-day box office list.
The box office of Europe, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions has also been transmitted back to China one after another, which only shows one point:
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is popular, and it is the kind that has exploded worldwide.
Fans around the world are discussing this Chinese-language film.
Huaxia Culture has made the world hotly discussed through this movie.
This is undoubtedly a kind of cultural export.
Of course, the heated discussion of this film in China is also very fierce, or the debate is very fierce.
The reputation of this film is naturally undoubted, with nine Oscar nominations and five little golden figures, you can't be black if you want to.
It's just that many fans said that they had no sense of substitution, and they couldn't live and die with the protagonist, sharing joys and sorrows.
The film doesn't seem to have much of an appeal.
is too calm, even if it ends in tragedy, there is not much emotional catharsis.
It's hard to get into the play!
Is the film good, it must be good.
But if you say how good-looking it is, then the benevolent will see it.
Many fans said that it is not the same as the martial arts imagined by the public.
The film is not as good as I expected.
As for which is better or worse than "Farewell My Concubine", it is estimated that the wise man will see his wisdom.
However, even so, there are still many fans who are extremely curious about this film and want to see it.
After all, it is the Oscars again, and it is the top of the single-day box office list in North America and many countries and regions.
This is a film that Chinese people can be proud of.
In China, on the second day of the film's release, the box office declined slightly, still exceeding 100 million.
The cumulative box office exceeded 350 million in two days.
The North American box office did not decline much, and the single-day box office still broke $30 million.
The North American box office of this film exceeded 100 million, and it is estimated that it is ironclad.
"It is estimated that there is no suspense about becoming the highest-grossing Chinese film in the world. Wang Bo said with a smile, "It seems that it may not be impossible to break the domestic box office record." ”
"It's difficult!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "As soon as the May Day holiday is over, the box office decline will definitely become larger." ”
This film, in Zhang Pu's opinion, it would be good if it could break one billion in China, and it was not an ordinary difficulty to rush to the top of the box office.
Don't look at it breaking 300 million in two days, nearly 500 million in three days.
The staying power of this film is not strong.
In fact, as Zhang Pu guessed, as soon as the May Day holiday passed, the single-day box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" fell directly to the 100 million mark.
[ www.biqugexx.xyz] Of course, even so, it has been the single-day box office champion for a long time.
But Zhang Pu paid little attention.
He focused all his energy on his films.
Zhang Pu did not make much changes to the script of "Looking for the Dragon", but the special effects in it have been enhanced.
Of course, some of the costume designs, props, etc. are still a little different from the original.
Zhang Pu specially invited experts in relevant fields to serve as consultants.
He is a director who pays attention to details, and those props not only conform to that dynasty, but even if it is a pattern, Zhang Pu is very elegant.
Of course, that's not to say that the original version can't do that.
It's just that these things can't be compared with the original, and it is impossible for Zhang Pu to move those props from the original to this world.
The special effects have been designed, and the action scenes have naturally been upgraded.
Needless to say, Chen Huatao has filmed a lot of martial arts movies and action movies, and the action of this drama is naturally not difficult for him.
Tang Rui has also made action movies, and has a good foundation in dance.
Huang Ye has a lot of action scenes, but relatively speaking, the difficulty coefficient is not as good as the first two.
Another person who has a lot of action scenes is Yoko played by Guo Yunxi.
This is not a big problem, and if you can't complete the action, you can also use a stand-in.
Sometimes, actors use stand-ins, not disrespectfully.
In general, dangerous actions will choose to use a stand-in.
If the actor is injured on the stage, won't the progress of the play be delayed?
The cost of delay is not small.
Of course, if a stand-in is used in literature and drama, it is disrespectful.
The film was well prepared and filmed quite smoothly.
A lot of the scenes were filmed in the studio, and there weren't a lot of locations.
A few days after the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Jingwu Heroes" was painted in China and abroad.
And "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was immediately broadcast on Yanjing Satellite TV.
The first broadcast broke two and won the first place in the same period.
That's not a bad result.
The reason why it's not very good, it's just good, is entirely because of the screenwriter Zhang Pu, and the ratings of the three TV series directed by Gao Wang are very high.
Not to mention "Bright Sword", it still holds a ratings record for nearly ten years, even the TV series "Latent" broke three at the beginning of the broadcast, and broke seven at the highest.
However, it is still extremely good for a martial arts drama to be able to achieve such opening ratings.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that when the plot unfolded, the higher the ratings of this show, the higher the ratings, and the more and more discussions on the Internet.
The evil in the east and the poison in the west, the southern emperor and the northern beggar.
These masters are talked about.
Of course, the most discussed thing is the martial arts inside.
Among them, it is naturally the most popular with the eighteen palms of the dragon, followed by the "Nine Yin True Scripture".
Some netizens even counted all the martial arts in the TV series, and then voted on the Internet.
Popularity ranking, combat power ranking.
Of course, the preferences are different, and it is difficult to convince the public no matter which one is at the top of the list.
With such a topic, the ratings of TV dramas quickly broke three or four......
The TV series is popular, and the actors are naturally popular.
The fire is naturally not only Guo Jing's actor Yuan Bin, but also Huang Rong's actor Dong Qin, and Mu Nianci's actor Guo Yunxi.
And the latter two both starred in Zhang Pu's movie "Looking for the Dragon".
The two of them became popular with the film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and it still has a lot of promotion for the box office of Zhang Pu's movie.
Another TV series from Oriental DreamWorks is on fire.
And it's also a martial arts drama.
Many people believe that the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also benefited from the martial arts craze set off by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Of course, this statement is naturally controversial.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has indeed set off a martial arts craze, and it is global.
But in the eyes of many people, even if there is no "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be a hit.
The discussion of this drama is much greater than that of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Perhaps, this drama is more in line with the expectations of domestic audiences for martial arts.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" became popular, pushing the martial arts craze set off by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to another height.
Following the trend, it naturally sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
This is the same as the anti-Japanese drama "Bright Sword".
However, among these films, the most concerned must be the sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
"Do you want to star in "The Condor Heroes"?" Zhang Pu looked at Tang Rui with some surprise.
Dong Qin and Guo Yunxi first participated in "Jingwu Heroes", and then with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they became completely popular.
Of course, they are still a long way from Tang Rui now.
"My agent's opinion. Tang Rui nodded and said, "As for me, I haven't read the script yet." What about Director Zhang's opinion?"
If Tang Rui wants to star in this drama, it is estimated that no one can rob her.
There are only a few female artists signed by Oriental DreamWorks, and Tang Rui is the biggest one.
"I'm okay with that. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
How to arrange the company's artists, Zhang Pu didn't ask.
Tang Rui is not bad as Xiaolongnu.
There is no difference in image and temperament, and her acting skills are also good.
Jiang Xingwen wants to use this drama to bring out a little fresh meat, and it is undoubtedly better for Tang Rui, a first-line star, to join.
And this drama may not have a promoting effect on Tang Rui.
Of course, why Tang Rui's agent wants her to appear in this drama is estimated to have a lot to do with the fact that there are no movies in the second half of the year.
Among the company's resources, for Tang Rui, the best is undoubtedly the role of Xiaolongnu.
When Tang Rui heard this, he smiled.
She asked Zhang Pu's opinion, just to see if the role was suitable for her.
For Tang Rui, starring in a popular TV series is not necessarily worse than starring in a popular movie.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been on the air for a month, and the ratings have broken seven, which can be regarded as maintaining the golden sign of "produced by Dongchang".
At this time, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been painted in many foreign countries and regions, and it is estimated that it will not last long in China.
However, its box office also far exceeded expectations.
Zhang Pu did have some character explosion this time.
The domestic box office exceeded 1.3 billion, becoming the highest box office of martial arts films.
The North American box office exceeded $200 million, while the global cumulative box office exceeded $600 million.
There is no doubt that this film has become the highest-grossing film among the many films of Oriental DreamWorks. It is also a Chinese-language film, the highest-grossing film in the world.
Oriental DreamWorks, as the largest investor and producer, naturally made a lot of money.
This film is also the most profitable one of Oriental DreamWorks to date.
The international market is really a big cake that makes people excited.
When Zhang Pu learned the news, he wanted to change his plan and start taking the international route.
The benefits are moving!
