Chapter 322: Mutual Blackness

How is the film "Xingtian"?

It's not blowing or black, it's really good, the only fly in the ointment is that the special effects style film lacks a little bit of oriental elements.

I don't know if it's the special effects company's pot, or the director or production company wants to please Western fans.

However, if Zhang Pu is allowed to shoot, he will definitely not be biased towards the West.

The mythological stories of the East, with a style biased towards the West, may not be able to please Western fans, but will also make domestic fans unhappy.

Pay for one's whistle.

Just think of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The most attractive thing about this film is not the story of the West, but the oriental elements in it.

The story of the West is just for Western fans to understand.

"Xingtian" is somewhat the opposite.

The way the story is told is Eastern, but there are many Western elements in it.

Of course, this is just Zhang Pu's family words.

"Do you mean that this film is not a big threat?" Jiang Xingwen said after listening to Zhang Pu's words.

"Big!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "Even if the special effects are flawed, this is a rare good film." Besides, I don't like this Western-leaning style, but that doesn't mean others don't like it. ”

Jiang Xingwen nodded, silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, the next day Zhang Pu found out.

On the Internet, there are many negative comments about "Xingtian".

What is admired and flattered, filmed for foreigners.

What Eastern mythological stories, shoot the feeling of the West, nondescript.

Not to mention, these have really aroused the resistance of many fans.

Black competitors, not surprising at all.

There are also many negative comments on the Internet about the movie "Storm and Clouds", if there is no orange entertainment behind it, who believes it?

hack each other, then it depends on their respective means, whether they catch each other's sore feet, and are willing to spend money.

Whoever influences more fans will have the upper hand.

"Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" naturally has many criticisms.

"Are the box office statistics out?" Zhang Pu asked Jiang Xingwen.

There are real-time box office statistics on the Internet, but the two films have always been in a state of stalemate, one second you are in front, and the next second is behind.

What the box office on the first day ended up in is really not visible from the real-time box office on the Internet.

"It's out!"

Jiang Xingwen smiled a little wryly, and then handed yesterday's box office statistics table to Zhang Pu.

Zhang Pu took a look, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

All the films released on the box office statistics table.

However, Zhang Pu only looked at the top three.

"Storm and Storm Dominates the World" won the first-day box office championship, but it was only more than 10,000 more than "Xingtian", which ranked second.

Both films broke the box office of 200 million.

In third place is the Hollywood blockbuster that was released for a week.

The single-day box office of this film was hit by "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" and "Xingtian", and only won less than 50 million.

"Storm and Storm Dominates the World" won the single-day box office championship, but this champion position is obviously unstable!

With a box office gap of more than 10,000, this is almost negligible.

"In a sense, I'm losing!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said.

His box office appeal may be better than Feng Jiashan, and his fans must be much more than Feng Jiashan.

The schedule of the two films is the same, but it is such a result.

"I can't say that. Jiang Xingwen said, "If you release a film every two or three years like Feng Jiashan, your fans will definitely watch it as soon as possible." ”

What Jiang Xingwen's words meant, Zhang Pu naturally understood.

This is not possible.

Feng Jiashan's new film has been released for too long, and his fans have been looking forward to it for a long time, and after the film is released, he naturally can't wait to watch it.

Then the box office on the first day will naturally be higher.

Zhang Pu is different.

He almost does it once a year, and fans don't look forward to it for so long, so naturally they don't run to watch it for the first time.

Look, naturally will go to see.

It's not that impatient.

What's more, the production cost of "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" is only half of that of "Xingtian". Jiang Xingwen continued.

Zhang Pu smiled and shook his head.

For the first-day box office, Zhang Pu did not have any loss.

Of course, in this period, the two films broke the single-day box office of 200 million, which is not unrelated to the continued expansion of the Chinese film market.

What Jiang Xingwen told him is probably the focus of Oriental DreamWorks' next publicity.

First, "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" won at the box office on the first day.

If you win or lose, it's even better.

Second, the production cost of "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" is only half of that of "Xingtian", and the weak defeat the strong.

Third, Zhang Pu made three films, and Feng Jiashan made one, but the result was still like this, and the carefully polished words became a joke again.

......

The two films are compared, so the publicity is naturally indispensable to praise themselves and step on each other.

This is true of Oriental DreamWorks, and so is Orange Entertainment.

Is it called less than 10,000 less box office?

That's pretty comparable!

What's more, the box office broke 200 million on the first day, can it still be said that "Xingtian" failed at the box office?

The box office came out on the first day, and the two sides naturally had a public opinion competition.

However, the box office came out the next day, and the scale of victory and defeat had already begun to tilt.

"Won. ”

As soon as Zhang Pu was in the company, Jiang Xingwen said to Zhang Pu with a smile.

"Oh?"

Zhang Pu took the box office statistics table and smiled.

The single-day box office of "Storm and Storm Dominating the World" increased slightly, and won the single-day box office champion with a box office of more than 200 million, and distanced itself from "Xingtian".

"Xingtian" still ranks second, but the box office does not increase in a single day, but declines.

One increase and one decrease, at a glance.

The suspense is almost gone.

Moreover, the word-of-mouth of the two films has also changed.

The reputation of "Storm and Clouds Dominates the World" is getting better, and the reputation of "Xingtian" is getting worse again.

This is due to the increase in the number of fans watching the movie.

Obviously, Zhang Pu's film is more favored by fans.

Of course, even if the reputation of "Xingtian" deteriorates, it is still a word-of-mouth masterpiece.

It's a little bit of a good idea.

And only relatively.

Before this, the reputation of "Xingtian" was much better than that of "Storm and Clouds".

"The Storm and the Clouds Dominate the World" won, so many posteriors have come out again to analyze the reasons.

The first is special effects.

The special effects of "Storm and Clouds" may not be as many as those of "Xingtian", but the effect presented is extremely amazing, which can be called the most special effects in Chinese films.

The special effects of "Xingtian" are also good, but they always feel a little worse. Perhaps its style is more Westernized, which makes it more difficult for fans to accept.

In addition, nature is the action design inside.

As a mythological movie, many of the actions in "Xingtian" are hand-to-hand combat, which does not look mythical at all, but "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" is more like a fight between immortals.

In addition, it is estimated that there are also reasons for the design of costumes and props. Not to mention that "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" is better, but it is definitely more pleasing to domestic fans.

The costumes and props in "Xingtian" do not deceive the Western style, but there are some shadows of the Western style.

After all, this film is an oriental mythological story.

Of course, Oriental DreamWorks' "blackness" that spares no effort on the network is estimated to have played a lot of roles.

"Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" has a bright picture, while "Xingtian" has a bit of a dark style.

It's not that the dark style is bad, but it just makes many fans subconsciously think that mythological films should be fairy and have the beauty of fairyland.

This style failed to meet their expectations.

Then Oriental DreamWorks "fanned the flames" again, and it was infinitely amplified.

There are even people who think that the plot of "Xingtian" is a bit complicated, and there are many things that want to be expressed, which makes many fans unhappy. And "Storm and Storm Dominate the World" is much simpler, with the opposition between good and evil, grievances and hatred.

These have the meaning of "winning and losing".

If "Xingtian" wins at the box office, maybe this is not the reason for failure, but the reason for success.

......

There are a lot of such analyses, and the heat is really not small.

However, no matter how dark Oriental DreamWorks is, there is no problem with the box office of "Xingtian" estimated to break one billion.

No matter how black Orange Entertainment is, "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" ranks first in the single-day box office list. Some people even think that this film is expected to break two billion.

Mutual blackening may have some impact, but the film itself is the key.

On the third day of the film's release, although the box office declined, "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" still broke 200 million.

The cumulative box office in three days is more than 600 million, while "Xingtian" is only nearly 600 million.

The gap between the two films is getting wider and wider.

"Storm and Storm Dominates the World" has directly returned to its roots.

On the fourth day of release, although it was not a weekend, but on Christmas Eve, the box office continued to decline, but the magnitude was not large.

"Xingtian" wants to compete with us at the overseas box office!" Jiang Xingwen handed the tablet to Zhang Pu and said with a smile.

"I can't compare with it at home, so I naturally want to find a place abroad. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Zhang Pu is not surprised that Orange Entertainment began to guide public opinion.

The style of "Xingtian" is a bit Western, but I am also making money from foreigners and spreading Chinese culture!

Tsk, I almost didn't make myself a national hero.

Zhang Pu is not optimistic about the box office of "Xingtian" abroad.

Hollywood blockbusters add Chinese elements to please Chinese fans, and this trick has been tried and tested repeatedly.

But can Chinese movies please North American fans by adding Western elements?

This is probably wishful thinking.

The reason for this is none other than that Hollywood is at the advantage.

Therefore, the former is to give face, which can naturally be pleased. The latter, on the other hand, is flattery and is inevitably ridiculed.

How can you not be smoked if you hold people's stinky feet?

"Is it comparable?" Jiang Xingwen said.

"It's hard to say. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "When will "Storm and Storm Dominate the World" be released abroad?"

"It is estimated that during the Spring Festival!" Jiang Xingwen shook his head as he said and said, "When the time comes, the main creator is going to go abroad for a walk, and it is estimated that Director Yuan has another opinion." ”

When Zhang Pu heard this, he immediately smiled.

"East Becomes West" was completed, and Zhang Chu immediately joined the Yuanhong crew, and then because of the promotion of "Storm and Cloud Dominates the World", Zhang Chu took several leave, which naturally delayed the shooting.

If the film is released abroad, especially in Japan, South Korea and other places, as the leading actor, it is naturally indispensable to run for publicity.

At that time, it is estimated that I will have to take a leave of absence again.

What's more, during this period, the publicity of "East Becomes West" is indispensable, and I am afraid that it is indispensable to ask for leave.
