Chapter 241: Who Created This Film
The Jurassic was the most prosperous era of dinosaurs!
"Jurassic Park" tells the story of the resurrection of dinosaurs.
In that world, this film, which once dominated the global box office for a long time, Mu Chen is actually not sure how much box office it will win in this world.
When the original version was released, the special effects in it were world-leading.
However, the film market at that time was obviously far inferior to the film market at this time in this world.
Mu Chen has watched Zhang Gang's version, and the film is still extremely good, especially the use of lenses in it.
There are many things to learn from him.
At that time, Hollywood used "Jurassic Park" to pry open the door of the Xiangjiang market, collecting more than 60 million box office, and then the Xiangjiang market completely fell into Hollywood blockbusters.
There are not many areas like Xiangjiang that have fallen into this film.
In this world, whether Zhang Gang can open the door to the global film market with this film will only be known after the release.
However, when the trailer for this film came out, it still caused quite a stir.
Those giants who lived more than 60 million years ago and have long been extinct appear on the screen, and the shock will definitely not be just visual.
Although there are not many images in the trailer, it is definitely eye-catching.
After watching it, it is still fresh in people's minds.
This "sci-fi adventure film" can be seen from the trailer, and the special effects are still good.
Thursday, September 28.
Dawn Film and Television held a heavy premiere for "Jurassic Park".
There are video sites that broadcast this live.
Mu Chen, as one of the main creators, naturally participated.
And this premiere also invited many stars in the circle.
Whether it is Zhang Gang, Mu Chen, or Dawn Film and Television, the appeal in the circle is not weak.
There are naturally a lot of celebrities and big names who come to cheer.
There are many stars, and the red carpet outside the theater is naturally crowded with countless media on both sides.
Every time a star walks on the red carpet, those fans who come will hear a burst of screams, if it weren't for a large number of security personnel to maintain order, I'm afraid there would be a riot.
The premiere of "Jurassic Park" is actually nothing new, it is all fixed routines. However, after the premiere, the film's momentum soared, completely suppressing "Soldiers in the City".
The publicity effect is undoubtedly excellent.
Many viewers who watched the premiere have been aroused by their desire to watch the movie.
The premiere was naturally followed by a film show.
Of course, when the video is played, it is obvious that the network will not broadcast it live.
And many film critics who attended the premiere gave this film a very high evaluation after watching it.
The resurrection of the dinosaurs is obviously impossible.
But those who have seen this film believe that dinosaurs can be resurrected.
If there really is such a mosquito.
I have to say that this film is still quite scientific and logical.
At least, it seems so.
The next day, Friday, September 29th.
"Jurassic Park" and "Soldiers in the City" were released at the same time.
One film schedule is 32.41%, and the other film schedule is 29.87%, which is not much different.
Mu Chen did not go to the theater to watch this film.
Li Ruoxi went out to film, and Mu Chen didn't need to go to the theater to watch it again.
He had already seen it in the company before.
Compared to the original, it's hard to say which is better or worse, but the special effects look a lot better.
In particular, the scene where the little dinosaur broke out of its shell left a deep impression.
That shot can be called fake and real.
Of course, the shock of the little dinosaur breaking out of the shell in the film is just the beginning, and then the storyline unfolds, and one by one the vivid dinosaurs appear on the screen, which makes people already shocked to numbness.
"It's done!"
The National Day holiday has arrived, but Mu Chen did not give himself a holiday.
There are also many people in the company who do not take a holiday.
On the second day of the release of "Jurassic Park", before Mu Chen entered the office, Chen Fuhai walked over with a smile.
"Huh?" Mu Chen was slightly surprised.
However, what surprised me was not that the box office of "Jurassic Park" broke 200 million on the first day, but that it had a box office of more than 50 million more than "Soldiers in the City".
This is undoubtedly somewhat unexpected by Mu Chen.
"What's the word-of-mouth response?" Mu Chen then asked.
If the reputation is poor, no matter how high the box office is on the first day, it is useless.
"Exploded. Chen Fuhai said, "Many media say that this is a real science fiction film in China, and this is a milestone science fiction film in China." ”
"That's good. Mu Chen smiled and said.
If the media is still like this, then the word of mouth of fans should be the same.
The domestic box office of this film has stabilized.
"Do you regret giving this film to Zhang Gang now?" Chen Fuhai said with a smile.
"Why do you regret it?" Mu Chen shook his head and said.
Compared with "Jurassic Park", Mu Chen obviously prefers "Inception".
Although the "landmark sci-fi film" was snatched away by Zhang Gang, so what?
One is an adventure sci-fi film, and the other is an action sci-fi film.
Not the same.
What's more, although "Jurassic Park" was directed by Zhang Gang, it was also labeled as Mu Chen.
"What about the foreign box office?" Mu Chen then asked.
Compared with the domestic box office, Mu Chen is more concerned about the foreign box office.
"It is estimated that it will be half a day late. Chen Fuhai said.
The film was released simultaneously around the world, but after all, it was jet lag.
"Jurassic Park" won the single-day box office championship, and the word of mouth exploded.
The "milestone" evaluation shocked many people.
It has also aroused the curiosity of many people.
Fans naturally respect this film, and word of mouth spreads it.
Words like "not inferior to Hollywood blockbusters" often appear in the mouths of fans who have watched the film.
Recommended by the media, recommended by fans.
It's hard to think about this film if it's not popular.
As his opponent, "Soldiers in the City", the reputation is also excellent, but it was suppressed by the reputation and topic of "Jurassic Park", and it did not ferment.
The impact of "Jurassic Park" on it is reflected at this time.
The applause is not popular, which puts "Soldiers in the City" into an embarrassing situation.
And as the foreign box office returned to China, the momentum of "Jurassic Park" soared, directly pressing "Soldiers in the City" to raise its head.
The first-day box office in North America won more than $30 million, ranking second in the single-day box office.
However, the film's reputation abroad is excellent, and it is also highly sought after by fans.
Judging from the data of various reactions, this film may explode at the foreign box office.
Sure enough, on the second day of release, the domestic box office increased unabated, almost breaking 300 million, while the North American box office directly broke 40 million, winning the single-day box office championship.
This is the second time that a Chinese film has won the single-day box office championship in North America after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
And the box office of this film in Europe, Southeast Asia and other places also showed a strong position.
South Korea, Japan and other countries and regions have also won the single-day box office championship, and even the films in the same period can't hold their heads up.
As for the domestic "Soldiers in the City", which is in the same schedule, the impact is naturally greater, and the box office almost fell below 100 million on the second day.
This film with a good reputation obviously shouldn't have such a small box office at the box office.
It's a pity that I met "Jurassic Park" in the same schedule, a film that may be a big hit, but the result is not popular.
In a film like "Jurassic Park", whoever meets and who dies!
Dawn Film and Television used "Jurassic Park" to impact Guangzheng Pictures' "Soldiers in the City" is obviously a success.
Very successful.
Now that the box office response of the film "Soldiers in the City" has arrived, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to break one billion.
This film, which has an investment of nearly 400 million, has a lot of risk of losing money.
Perhaps, the foreign box office and copyrights add up, and this film can return to its original cost, but the problem is that this film is trembling under the pressure of "Jurassic Park", which will inevitably affect the stock price of Guangzheng Pictures!
That's not a fraction of a loss.
What's more, because Guangzheng Pictures poached people, causing Dawn Film and Television to go crazy, and the two film and television companies fought each other, with Mu Chen's character of "always being kind to others", no one can say whether Dawn Film and Television will be like this time in the future, and has been targeting Guangzheng Films!
If Dawn Film and Television has been targeting Guangzheng Pictures, sniping at the films produced by him, and cutting off cooperation with artists signed by him......
Thinking about it, it is inevitable that some people feel that Guangzheng Pictures is a cold rhythm.
Shareholders have lost confidence in Guangzheng Pictures, and if this matter is not handled well, then it will be a lot of fun.
This is actually the purpose of Chen Fuhai and Mu Chen.
Obviously, their purpose was achieved.
Guangzheng Pictures is full of heritage, and "Soldiers in the City" can afford to lose, but this film was crushed by "Jurassic Park", and the impact is obviously not as simple as losing money.
Of course, Mu Chen and the others didn't expect to collapse Guangzheng Pictures with this award.
Just a lesson.
"Jurassic Park" has an amazing global box office, becoming a Chinese film that has achieved amazing results in the international film market after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
It seems that, judging from today's box office trend, this film may surpass the global box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as Mu Chen said.
Many foreign media even reported with titles such as "The Rise of Chinese Science Fiction Films".
This film has a strong "Hollywood" flavor, which is undoubtedly different from previous Chinese films, and even more different from Zhang Gang's previous films.
But it is undeniable that this film is so amazing at the global box office because of this.
Hollywood movies have swept the world, and "Jurassic Park" naturally meets the appetite of those foreign fans.
In line with the appetite of movie fans, it is not surprising that the box office is high.
The film was released for a week, and many regions at home and abroad won the weekly box office championship, and the same is true for North America.
Less than a month after its release, the global box office of "Jurassic Park" exceeded one billion US dollars, surpassing "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and immediately replaced "Wolf Warrior 2" as the world's highest-grossing Chinese film.
However, it is unlikely that the domestic box office of this film will surpass "Wolf Warrior 2", but it is second only to "Wolf Warrior 2".
Two months after its release, "Jurassic Park" was drawn globally, with the domestic box office exceeding 4 billion, the North American box office exceeding 400 million US dollars, and the global cumulative box office exceeding 1.2 billion US dollars, almost breaking into the top 10 of the global total box office list.
Mu Chen only smiled when he heard Chen Fuhai say it, and his mood was a little complicated.
The global box office is so amazing, whether "Inception" can do it or not, Mu Chen is now a little less confident.
However, it seems that the original version has not done it either.
Why did you do it?
"Jurassic Park" was a global box office hit, and the person who made the most money was him Muchen.
With this film, Zhang Gang's popularity in the world has also been completely launched.
It is said that he has received a lot of invitations from Hollywood.
The film is a big hit, and naturally it is controversial.
The biggest controversy is not how this film is, where it is the most classic, and where it has shortcomings, but who has the greatest credit between Mu Chen and Zhang Gang, and who is the soul of this film.
Some people think that it is Mu Chen, because he is the screenwriter and producer of this show.
Some people think it is Zhang Gang, who is the director of the film. The director is the soul of a movie.
The arguments were fierce, and no one could convince anyone.
However, those who thought it was Mu Chen had the upper hand.
On the Internet, Mu Chen's fans must be more.
Quite a few critics were involved in the discussion.
They generally believe that the reason why the box office of "Jurassic Park" can sweep the global box office is because Mu Chen has made great contributions.
A script is the book of a play.
Zhang Gang's directing ability, naturally, is beyond doubt, and he has long been international-level.
But why did his previous works receive meslappy international box office responses?
That is undoubtedly due to the lack of a script like "Jurassic Park" aimed at the international market.
However, there is no doubt about the role of the director.
has a good script, but if the director doesn't give it well, it will also make a bad movie.
If you change the director, will there be "Jurassic Park" that sweeps the world at the box office?
It can only be said that not necessarily.
For example, Mu Chen's own directing may not be as good as Zhang Gang, but it may not be the same.
Who created "Jurassic Park" by Mu Chen and Zhang Gang?
Maybe you can't do without one or the other.
Perhaps Zhang Gang made "Jurassic Park", and Mu Chen made Zhang Gang's "Jurassic Park".
The topic of this controversy was too fierce, and Zhang Gang and Mu Chen were naturally asked by media reporters.
"Without Director Mu, there would be no Jurassic Park. If he shoots it himself, it will definitely not be worse than mine. ”
This is what Zhang Gang said when he was asked by the media.
"I didn't do anything but write a script. The producers are only in name, and they don't even go to the crew for a day. What credit can I have for this film?" Mu Chen said with a smile when asked.
"Didn't I say it, Director Zhang is more suitable. And that's what happened. My biggest credit for this film is to invite Director Zhang to direct. ”
"Who created Jurassic Park? ”
"A sequel?
"No, I won't direct! If there is a sequel, I will definitely invite Director Zhang. Of course, it depends on whether Director Zhang is interested in directing. ”
Mu Chen and Zhang Gang's answers undoubtedly made this kind of argument meaningless.
Perhaps, as some people say, they are indispensable.
The popularity of "Jurassic Park" gradually faded as the controversy dissipated.
In mid-December, Mu Chen and Chen Mouzhi's "Godzilla" was completed, which attracted the attention of many people.
Mu Chen and Zhang Gang's "Jurassic Park" hit the world at the box office.
So, what kind of sparks will the cooperation between Mu Chen and Chen Mouzhi, a great director who is not inferior to Zhang Gang at all, spark?
However, after all, there is still a long time before the release.
The heat quickly dissipated.
