"Star Wars" is really the No. 1 IP in North America!

Even if "Rogue Solo" was sprayed into a sieve by Star Wars fans around the world, it did not prevent it from winning $210 million in North America!

The number of theaters opened was a record 4,200 - "The Force Awakens" was only 4,134...

Generally speaking, 3,500 theaters is considered the number of regular openings for A-grade productions...

To be honest, the North American opening results of "The Martian" are certainly not amazing, but they are qualified...

Ranked second in the box office charts.

The box office far surpassed "Attached Beauty", which was released in the same schedule, and the movie starred Will Smith, Edward Norton and Kate Winslet!

Of course, this is an award-winning movie...

Speaking of "The Martian", the critics gave a good evaluation:

Strictly forbidden and discreet. This is the real "hard science fiction", solid scientific theories are really turned into plots, unlike a European and American divine director, who just likes to open his brain everywhere and then put on a scientific hat - "The New York Observer" Lex Reed.

This is the most famous Nolan black fan!

I once commented that "Inception" and "Interstellar" are terrible - I want to tell you how bad this film is, but because this movie is so annoying, it is too difficult to fully describe how bad it is!

According to the Chicago Sun, the biggest difference between The Martian and the Martian is its light-hearted tone.

But this is a double-edged sword, although the style is fresh and exudes a positive and optimistic temperament, but the consequence is to sacrifice part of the tense drama and almost completely abandon the negative excavation of the characters, in my opinion, a bit more than worth the loss - a person who has been lonely on Mars for hundreds of days can have a very rich and interesting description in his heart, and the director did not grasp this...

Although it is a good review, it also points out the biggest problem with "The Martian"...

Deleted a lot of sad emotions in a relaxed tone - if it really happened that astronauts were stranded on Mars, our astronauts would most likely kill themselves...

Those who can go to heaven are particularly politically conscious, and they will definitely weigh the return ratio by themselves, and once they find out that it is not worth it...

But if these are true, the movie will not have to be made at all!

In short, 45 media gave "The Martian" a comprehensive rating of 81 points, which is quite a reasonable score - "The Martian" has been criticized for being filmed quite like a science and education film.

However, viewers on CineScore gave "The Martian" an A!

Compared with the media rating, perhaps the audience evaluation is a little more meaningful to "The Martian". The audience's "tap water" behavior is expected to push up the follow-up box office of "The Martian"...

But in the end, no one can say how much...

......

At 10 o'clock, when I arrived at the hotel, Lu Xiaoran simply ate something, and then accepted an exclusive interview with "Watching a Movie".

"This year's environment is very good, Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem" won the Hugo Award, and the industry is very concerned about the science fiction theme itself!"

"It's not a big deal, "Gravity" actually laid a good foundation, and "The Martian" can be regarded as standing on the basis of "Gravity"..."

Ah Lang then asked, "Why do you prefer space themes?"

In a sense, space movies are a symbol of comprehensive national strength and the crown jewel of the film industry!"

After a pause, Lu Xiaoran said: "I don't have too much preference, I like movies of all genres, and what I'm doing now is to fill the vacancy of genre films." ”

"Vacancy?"

"First of all, there are still many blanks in the themes and types of Chinese films to be innovated, we must continue to innovate and break through in these aspects, not to say that it sounds good, we are really doing it, the three major types of heavy industry films: military films, science fiction films, and magical themes, we are all building!"

"Secondly, the values of the film must conform to the mainstream values!"

"And it has to be oriental values..."

"So, in the movie, when the space agency learned that my character was still alive, it immediately discussed rescue, instead of thinking about whether to save it..."

"Actually, I can't get used to many of our film investors, they send money to Hollywood one by one, and if they participate in a Hollywood movie, they can make a fuss in the stock market, and cut leeks in all kinds of ways... What does your investment in Hollywood have to do with Chinese films?"

"Sony's acquisition of Colombia will help the Japanese film industry? No, no!"

"If I want to invest, I can invest in Hollywood A-level projects, but what if you invest?

"Now that we have the money and the technology, we should make some large-scale movies..."

"I'm talking about movies, not bad movies!"

Ah Lang smiled...

There have been too many bad movies in the past two years - "Legend of the Gods", please come out and be beaten!

"There are a lot of doubts in the industry, what do you think?"

"Questioning?"

"I just don't understand why you always talk about industrialization... Because Hollywood industrialization also has a lot of bad movies..."

"Industrialization can't guarantee that no film will make money... Many people don't understand the concept of industrialization, film industrialization can't be done by one or two talented directors, and neither can one or two companies, many companies must gather together to form an upstream and downstream industrial chain, which can produce films on a large scale, share information at the same time, and reduce communication costs. ”

"Industrialization is not a panacea, film is a combination of commerce and art, industrialization can only give basic quality assurance, and the subjective initiative of film artists is very, very important. ”

"What is the favorite model of Chinese investors? About 50 million investment, box office more than 300 million, double the income... Like "The Martian", the special effects alone cost 250 million, and it took three years for them to intervene in the whole process from the early preparation to the later stage!"

"In their opinion, such a movie is too risky!"

"Doing science fiction in China is actually a bit thankless, you have to have feelings, love, and be willing to spend time, I just happen to have both, why not do it?"

......

After pulling eggs for more than an hour, Lu Xiaoran sent Ah Lang away and went back to the room to rest.

After taking a shower, I looked at the orange ticket statistics, and the box office on the first day: 240 million!

Grinned ...

It's barely up to expectations.

Don't pretend, his box office expectations for "The Martian": more than 4 billion in the mainland, and 150 million US dollars in the world...

The total box office is over 800 million US dollars!

Of course, these require the fermentation of public opinion ...

Any phenomenal movie, the right time, place and people are indispensable!

Tangtang walked out in pajamas and said excitedly: "The box office on the first day is 240 million!"

"Calm, basic operation!"

“... You're pretty good!"

"Hehe..."

Yawned, Lu Xiaoran turned off her phone and prepared to go back to the bedroom...

"Why don't you do something to celebrate?"

“... Please respect yourself, I'm not that kind of person!"

Tangtang rolled her eyes: "Where do you want to go... I mean, let's have some wine?"
