Chapter 512: Just Trying the Water

"Transformers 2" has swept the world, and although the reputation is not as good as its predecessor, it is still sought after by King Kong fans around the world.

The new King Kong surprises fans, and the hot scene is still the same, although it is a different director, it is a familiar taste.

As for word of mouth, although it is not as good as the first one directed by Mu Chen, it is also excellent.

And after the release of this film, "The Incredible Hulk 2" began to be promoted globally.

This superhero, who appears quite frequently and has amazing combat power, his second solo movie, has naturally aroused the expectations of superhero fans around the world.

The character of the Hulk is not as popular as Iron Man and others, but his popularity is not low.

What's more, "The Incredible Hulk 2" tells the story of what happened after the Hulk went to China. Moreover, there is not only one superhero in this film.

Mages, Scarlet Witches, Quicksilver, etc., as well as many masters of the Huaxia Special Administration Bureau, all have roles.

It's a movie where superheroes converge.

Of course, because it is Hulk's second solo movie, other superheroes are either cameos or supporting roles, and the only one with a little more scenes is probably the "heroine" mage.

It's a pity that this character has a famous name, and it is impossible to have any emotional scenes with Hulk.

has many scenes, comparable to the heroine, but in the eyes of many fans, she is not a heroine.

It seems that many fans subconsciously believe that the female protagonist should have an emotional scene with the male protagonist.

The film "The Incredible Hulk 2" is not without emotional scenes, but it is just a superficial taste, and it may not be an emotional drama, but it is a little ambiguous.

It's not the ambiguity between Banner and the mage, but the characters played by Banner and Peng Mi.

In the film, Li Ruoxi, the sword immortal, did not appear, but Peng Mi, the "sword immortal", did.

As for why he had some ambiguity with Banner, it was nothing more than to increase the presence of Peng Mi's character.

When Peng Mi first played that role, he was not very famous.

Although that role brought her a lot of popularity, it was also limited.

After all, in "Sword Immortal", Li Ruoxi is too dazzling.

However, the other film and television works she starred in in the past two years have skyrocketed her popularity.

Maybe it's because of Peng Naicai's relationship, or maybe because of her own conditions, under the support of Dawn Film and Television, she is now approaching a first-line star.

Then, in the superhero movie universe, it is naturally impossible for her to play soy sauce.

The role of the character naturally slowly increases.

The popularity of the character of the Hulk may not be very high, but it is not low.

Li Ruoxi's sword immortal jade bead is in front, and if she, the sword immortal, wants to surpass, it is almost impossible, so she can only find another way.

"Transformers 2" swept the global box office, but Mu Chen quietly filmed "Titanic".

With the run-in, the tacit understanding with each other increased, and the shooting speed was much faster.

If it weren't for Muchen's excellence and strict requirements, I'm afraid it would be faster.

After all, filming doesn't require the whole world to travel.

In this regard, it is undoubtedly a lot of time saved.

A week after the release of "Transformers 2", another mid-to-high production was released in China, and the cast was also extremely extraordinary.

The box office of the film was good on the first day, and the reputation was not bad, but it was still inferior to "Transformers 2", and the single-day box office failed to sit on the championship.

However, judging from the performance, it is still extremely good.

"Transformers 2" is unbeatable, but the market is so big, fans can't just choose to watch one movie.

This film allows fans to see another option.

Of course, the continued popularity of "Transformers 2" will naturally have an impact on this film.

The summer file is a period when a hundred flowers bloom.

Perhaps, there are one or two films that show a crushing trend, but others are not without a way to live.

This is still the case at home, and it is even more so abroad.

Comparatively speaking, foreign competition is much more intense.

Especially North America.

After all, the North American film market has been run by Hollywood for many years.

Chinese films are themselves at a disadvantage in the North American market. However, "Transformers 2" still won the weekly box office champion for two consecutive weeks. Even, the single-day box office champion has been cicading for more than ten days.

The "Transformers" merchandise sold well all over the world, which undoubtedly contributed to the box office of this sequel.

And this summer, the most eye-catching are undoubtedly the two films "Transformers 2" and "The Incredible Hulk 2".

Hulk Incredible 2 is three weeks after Transformers 2, but it's still amazing.

At the beginning of August, "The Incredible Hulk 2" was released simultaneously around the world.

At this time, most of the potential of "Transformers 2" has been consumed, and it has gradually become clear how the box office will finally be.

There is no hope of breaking 4 billion in China, but the box office is also extremely good.

The North American box office has exceeded $500 million, and 600 million is definitely hopeless.

The global box office exceeded 1.8 billion, and it is very difficult to break 1.9 billion.

Compared with the previous work, the box office has increased, but it is also limited.

"What do you think of the box office of "The Incredible Hulk 2"?" Chen Fuhai asked Mu Chen.

Although he is the general manager of Dawn Film and Television, he occasionally goes to the crew of "Titanic" to take a look.

After all, Mu Chen's film is a Western theme, so almost all of them are from the team of Dream Pictures, but there are also employees of Dawn Film and Television to assist.

Of course, Chen Fuhai came to discuss or report to Mu Chen.

In fact, he can make his own decisions about many things, but he also habitually asks Mu Chen.

This is also a habit he has been doing for so many years.

Perhaps, it is also the reason why he has cooperated with Mu Chen for so many years, but there are few contradictions.

Of course, this is also a reason why Mu Chen is less in charge of things, but he knows many things about the company.

"It should be higher than the box office of the first part!" Mu Chen smiled and said.

When Chen Fuhai heard this, he rolled his eyes directly.

How much did the first "The Incredible Hulk" box office?

The global box office is only a few hundred million dollars.

Nowadays, among the many films of the superhero cinematic universe, it is at the bottom.

In Chen Fuhai's view, if this film only surpasses the first one, it is a failure.

Even, if the global box office does not have a billion, it is a failure.

"A billion dollars should be fine, right?" Mr. Chen said.

"Lao Chen, your heart is getting bigger and bigger!" Mu Chen smiled and said, "Not to mention China, even if it is Hollywood, how many films can break one billion at the global box office every year?"

"Do you think this film can't be reached?" Chen Fuhai said.

Billion-dollar box office films, every year, that's definitely not much. Like Dawn Film and Dream Pictures, two top film and television companies, they still have a lot of big IPs, and they only have one or two films each year.

Hollywood's other major film and television companies may not have one every year. As for the domestic one, it is even more rare.

"If the film doesn't break a billion dollars, Hulk's third solo film, then it will have to be put on the go. Mu Chen smiled and said.

He hasn't seen the finished film, but he is still very optimistic about it.

The investment in the film is not small, nearly 200 million US dollars, and if the global box office exceeds 600 million, it will basically be profitable.

There is a lot of money, but it is not as good as other superheroes' personal movies, but it is much worse.

Naturally, the odds of making a personal hero movie are reduced.

If you want to shoot, you naturally have to shoot the kind of film that is more beneficial.

There should be no possibility of losing money in this film, it's just a matter of how much money you make.

With such a huge fan base, if you lose money, it will undoubtedly be a joke.

How many superhero movies have been made, and apart from the first few films, which film hasn't broken the billion-dollar mark?

This film was released at this time, and if it did not break a billion dollars, it would indeed be a failure.

"I think it's okay. Chen Fuhai said, "I have to admit that although Director Wen Run is not in a big grade, his level is very high. This film may not reach the box office of "Spider-Man", but there is not much suspense about breaking one billion. ”

"A director like him is undoubtedly lacking in China. Mu Chen shook his head and said with some sighs.

Wen Run is Chinese, but unfortunately he grew up in the United States and is not a Chinese filmmaker.

"How long will Hollywood movies develop, and how long will China develop?" Chen Fuhai said, "However, now that Chinese filmmakers are backed by the domestic film market, they will catch up sooner or later." ”

Mu Chen nodded.

The reason why Hollywood movies lead the world is nothing more than relying on the North American market.

Movies without market support are undoubtedly difficult to develop.

Huaxia is a place that is good at creating miracles.

This is true for the economy, and the same is true for movies.

"You came, don't you want me to post a Weibo to promote "The Incredible Hulk 2", Mu Chen asked with a smile.

"If that's the case, I won't call Cheng Ting directly. Chen Fuhai pouted and said, "Come here to talk about things, and come and take a look by the way." Oh yes. Tian Peng's cartoon has been produced, I mean that Lao Yu's film will be placed in the National Day file, and his cartoon will be put in the Spring Festival file. ”

"It's okay!" Mu Chen nodded.

"Originally, it was planned to be released globally on Christmas and New Year's Day. Chen Fuhai said, "However, I feel that the domestic box office of this film should be good, but the foreign box office is ......."

Chen Fuhai shook his head as he spoke.

"That cartoon itself is aimed at the domestic market. Mu Chen smiled and said, "Not to mention anything else, many of the dialogues in it are quite difficult to translate. For example, how do you translate 'hasty as a law'?"

When Chen Fuhai heard this, he also smiled.

"Why did you suddenly think of making such an animated film?" Chen Fuhai said, "It's not that you don't have films aimed at the international market. ”

Mu Chen once talked with Tian Peng about many ideas for animated films, including animated films like "Frozen", which had an amazing global box office in his previous life.

But in the end, the two decided to make an animated film with a very oriental flavor first.

This made Chen Fuhai a little puzzled.

"Just to test the water. Mu Chen smiled and said, "It is undoubtedly correct to release it in China first, if it is a domestic explosion, and then it is released abroad, it can also promote the foreign box office." ”

The original version of that animated film has an amazing domestic box office, but it doesn't seem to be doing well at the foreign box office.

Mu Chen wants to see the world, under the premise that Chinese films are very influential abroad, will the box office of this film be so bad abroad.
