Chapter 39: Blossoming Beyond the Wall (5/5)
In the early days, the Korean market was actually a Hong Kong movie box office, Zhang Guorong, Wang Guxian, and Zhang Manyu influenced a generation of Koreans...
In 2009, Seoul, South Korea, held a film festival named after "Leslie Cheung" to commemorate the occasion.
Then, Hollywood came...
To be precise, the two movies "Alien ET" and "Jurassic Park" completely exploded the entire Asian market!
The golden age of Hong Kong cinema is over...
However, Andy Lau is still very influential in South Korea, and 16 works are on the annual box office list.
"Three Kingdoms Sees the Dragon Unloading the Armor" South Korean box office 1.03 million viewers;
Even last year's "Dragon and Phoenix" created 400,000 viewers...
According to Korean media predictions, the Korean box office of "Babel Empire" should be around 500,000 viewers...
The so-called flowers bloom outside the wall and incense inside the wall, Huayi hurriedly notified the overseas box office of "Tongtian Empire", in order to obtain a higher film schedule, and then the official Weibo of Orange Imaging released the news:
"Big Man" has a box office of 14 million in Hong Kong, temporarily ranking fifth in the annual box office in Chinese, second only to "Ip Man 2", "72 Tenants", "The Thief of Time", "Happy Events in the Flower Field 2010"...
Taiwan's box office is NT$42 million, temporarily ranking third among Chinese films, second only to "Ip Man 2" and "Jin Yiwei"...
The combined box office of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand is close to $3.6 million;
South Korea box office: 1.46 million moviegoers, close to 60 million yuan...
Orange Images also revealed the news: the Korean version of "Big Man" was officially launched, and in addition, Universal got the North American and European distribution rights of "Big Man" at a price of $4.5 million...
In addition, Orange Imaging and Xijie Group jointly developed and produced the films "Twenty Years Old Again" and "Strange Her", screenwriter Lu Xiaoran, Chinese director Su Lun tentatively, starring Jiao Junyan, Korean director Huang Donghyuk tentatively, starring Moon Geunying;
Don't you want to compare, then compare!
......
Lu Xiaoran really didn't want to PK with "Tongtian Empire", he felt from the bottom of his heart that this film was good.
There is no leisure in the rivers and lakes, but the magnificent feelings of the scene are still there, and it is worthy of being Xu Laowei!
Actually, if there is a sentence at the end of the film: A giant Buddha with people's fat and people's ointment will fall...
That's "Once Upon a Time"...
Alas, unlikely...
In fact, the ideal rivers and lakes have long been subverted by Xu Ke.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, temples and rivers and lakes, after all, they are all human battlefields, and the feelings of "Di Renjie" are still Xu Ke's consistent complex of entering the world and being born: eliminating demons in troubled times, being ghosts in prosperous times, in short, an uncompromising attitude.
The fairest opinion: very attentive, this is indeed a blockbuster!
The problem is that the audience in those years has long been fed up with the devastation of the so-called blockbusters!
Everyone doesn't believe in the so-called blockbuster...
I love watching low-budget commercial films!
Can you step on a blockbuster movie bigger than Hollywood?
So, an embarrassing thing happened, in the next three days, the newly released 150 million big production "Tongtian Empire" is actually about the same box office as "33 Days of Broken Love", which has been released for a week, you are 16 million, I am 15 million, you are 18 million, I am 17 million...
It's just not how much you pull down!
What's even more embarrassing is that "33 Days of Broken Love" did not make up for tickets, it was a ticket bought spontaneously by the audience!
On October 7, the National Day file ended, and "Tongtian Empire" won the National Day box office championship with 130 million;
But "33 Days of Broken Love" has a cumulative box office of 280 million, and it will break 300 million at any time...
is still the same sentence, there are basically few youth love movies that can be watched in China.
"33 Days of Broken Love" fills the lack of genre films!
When we talk about the success or failure of a film, the four links of production (writing, directing, acting, filming), distribution, publicity, and marketing are all very important.
Usually, big-budget commercial films can get high box office, but when you meet the kind of contestant who gets the ticket, there is really no way!
There is also a blue ocean in front of "33 Days of Broken Love", this blue ocean is called 'Broken Love'!
Therefore, the first half of "33 Days of Broken Love" is called a masterpiece by many people, and the second half, that is, after Wang Xiaobei and Huang Xiaoxian live together, they are a bit clichéd...
Enough, it's a fresh and unconventional movie!
......
On the 10th, "33 Days of Broken Love" officially broke 300 million, and Lu Xiaoran received an exclusive interview with "Fujisun Entertainment":
"The box office of "33 Days of Broken Love" broke 300 million, do you have any ideas?"
"I myself felt a little surprised, because the box office we predicted for this movie was 200 million!"
"But it is said that the production cost does not exceed 6 million?"
"That's because all of our actors don't get paid!"
"Can you get 20 percent of the dividends on this movie?"
"Almost..."
"Can you ask, the box office of "33 Days of Broken Love" is 200 million, how did you get this data?"
"First of all, when we set up the project and promoted it, we sampled 7 box warehouse cities and filmed the story of the broken love, and then found that in just half a year, the story of the broken love has swept the Internet, which shows that the theme of 'broken love' can be explored! Finally, with the big data check, we came to this conclusion based on the minimum attendance rate!"
"Then if you evaluate the movie, how many points will you give?"
"70 points, the process of Wang Xiaobei falling in love with Huang Xiaoxian is still not as powerful as imagined, and the foreshadowing is still not enough, it is still sudden. But the interlude of other people's love stories is very good, giving the film texture and interpreting the meaning of love on different levels. ”
"But a lot of viewers don't like that part of the interlude!"
“... yes, I'm weird, maybe a little abrupt..."
"How much do you think the final box office of "33 Days of Broken Love" will be?"
"It depends on the performance of the market, I estimate that there will be about 380 million..."
"I heard that there are many people in the industry who lament the frequent appearance of orange dark horses, do you have any secrets?"
"In fact, all our movie scripts can only be considered good, the only secret to get a high box office should be to accurately convey the meaning of genre films, "Big Man" is a crime action movie, you have to let the audience see the guilt of the criminal, and then the positive character arrests him; "33 Days of Broken Love" is a love light comedy, the most important thing for a love genre film is to convey emotions and resonate with the audience!"
"What's next?"
"Shoot "Source Code" with peace of mind..."
"Will 'Big Man' be released in North America?"
"This should depend on Universal's arrangement, anyway, according to the general routine, they will hold an internal screening first, and if the feedback is good, they will put it on the market, but they spent $4.5 million, which is not a small amount, and I don't think they will directly release DVDs offline..."
"Big Man" is an action movie, it should be able to hit a wave, it depends on what Universal does, the probability is that the movie looks at the market situation, and if the box office of a single museum is enough, it may be released on a large scale.
After all, Wu Jing is not Cheng Long...
