Chapter 307: Scalpers Are Everywhere
"Avatar" was released worldwide, and countless fans chose to watch it as soon as possible.
The publicity is in place, and fans with slightly better conditions will prefer the IMAX-3D version, but there are more wolves and less meat, and the venue is almost full.
As soon as the 2D and 3D versions were released, the attendance rate was still extremely high.
In China, this movie that takes the longest time, has the largest investment, and even claims to surpass Hollywood blockbusters, is naturally expected by fans.
On the first day of release, more than 50 percent of the films were scheduled.
This also broke the record for the highest film schedule of the film.
Mu Chen's film, the degree of ferocity has long been spread in the circle, and none of the films released at the same time are decent at all.
Almost all cannon fodder.
No film and television company is willing to use its own large-investment films to compete with "Avatar".
Mu Chen's previous films were released, but that time was not a crushing film released at the same time.
No one is going to get along with money.
What's more, it was released at the same time as "Avatar", not a sniper, but a search for death.
There are no competitive films, and no matter how much cannon fodder there is, it can't affect the scheduling of "Avatar".
is arranged like this, and the ticket price is much higher than that of ordinary films.
The domestic first-day box office was the first to be counted, directly breaking the single-day box office record.
More than 430 million!
The single-day box office exceeded 400 million, which directly blinded the eyes of countless people.
Many people are still struggling with the box office breaking 400 million, but Mu Chen directly broke 400 million in a single day.
Of course, thinking about the investment cost of Mu Chen's film, I was immediately relieved.
However, as soon as the North American box office came out, it was stunned.
People in other film and television companies are all envious, jealous and hateful.
Ninety-one million!
It's the dollar!
This is converted into Chinese dollars, which is nearly 600 million.
The box office in North America exceeded 90 million in a single day, which is definitely a shocking thing.
There are many Chinese-language movies, except for the films written by Mu Chen, I am afraid that none of the films has a total box office of 90 million.
There is no doubt that "Avatar" won the North American single-day box office on the first day of release.
No, to be precise, this film won the global single-day box office championship.
In Europe, Southeast Asia and other regions, the box office is also very amazing, and almost all of them have become single-day box office champions.
It's so brutal.
"Avatar" has staged an unprecedented movie-watching storm in film history around the world!
Almost all the movie release records in countries around the world have been crushed and exploded by "Avatar" one by one, and the historical records are constantly being refreshed!!
Except for remote areas, all movie theaters in all other areas are hard to find, and as soon as the pre-sale comes out, they are snatched up in the blink of an eye!
And IMAX tickets are hard to find!
After some fans shouted 'If you don't watch IMAX-3D, you haven't watched "Avatar"", there are countless local tyrants who spend money to ask for an imax ticket!
Then, scalpers appeared.
As soon as this news came out, countless people were dumbfounded.
Scalpers are not uncommon in China, especially during the Spring Festival, when they are active, and any concerts, competitions, etc. are full of scalpers.
Who would have thought that movie tickets would appear scalpers.
Many people have to sigh that scalpers are really everywhere.
I also have to marvel that "Avatar" is so popular.
is several times higher than the box office, but there are still people who are willing to pay.
The fans are crazy, but the scalpers are happy.
Dawn Film and Television and major theaters are naturally happy.
This film is expected to top the global box office list.
Just when the film market was dominated by "Avatar", in the past two days, most of the entertainment media in North America, Europe, and China have been dominated by "Avatar"-related film reviews.
Readers are very enthusiastic about it, and they can't get tired of reading these movie reviews. As soon as some newspapers did not have Avatar, sales immediately fell sharply.
"Avatar" seems to have become a hot topic around the world.
And the word-of-mouth of this film is also extremely amazing.
One of the most talked about is undoubtedly the scenery on the planet Pandora.
The mesmerizing landscapes, the colorful and exotic flora and fauna, are simply beautiful. Huge trees dozens of stories high, dotted with mountains, waterfalls, and insects and trees that glow at night are all breathtaking.
The other most abundant is naturally IMAX-3D.
There is no doubt that this film has changed the habits of movie fans.
3D has become a hot topic among the people.
Watching IMAX-3D seems to have become a kind of market for movie fans.
If you haven't seen it, it only means that you can't keep up with the times.
Of course, the details of the film have also been praised by many film critics.
For example, the equipment used by humans is so advanced that it is exciting. There are also Na'vi people who are also very creative in the way they control heavily armored horses and pterosaurs.
Of course, no film can be praised by everyone.
There are naturally a lot of voices that oppose and criticize this film.
There is no resonance, no emotion, except that the picture is still the picture, and the plot is so rotten that it is scum.
However, such comments were quickly drowned out by the saliva of other well-received media outlets.
And it sparked a polemic.
"Avatar" is not only about audio-visual effects, but also about environmental protection, as well as the love between men and women, courage and responsibility, freedom and justice, war and peace, development and colonization, barbarism and civilization, and so on.
Who said this movie didn't have a plot? Who said this movie was pale?
Of course, the most talked about is environmental protection.
The main character in the movie says to the god of Pandora: "Look at our world, there is no greenery, they killed the parents who raised them, and we humans are doing such a stupid thing right now." Forests are decreasing day by day. Exhaust fumes are gradually filling the sky, the ozone hole is getting bigger and bigger, and desertification is gradually accelerating. ”
The movie is not without connotation, and it is not a popcorn movie.
It's a thought-provoking film.
"I love your movie. ”
The first thing Steve Lucas said when he saw Mu Chen expressed his love for this film.
"Avatar" truly portrays the kindness and sorrow of the heroine, a blue-eyed alien, when facing the confusion and fear of human aircraft cannons, and witnessing the death of her lover. That painful, twisted face pierced my heart deeply. Lucas continued, "And what touched me the most was that the angry cavalry of the indigenous Pandora braved the rain of bullets and bravely rushed towards the human mechanical troops, and the human large and small caliber missiles, machine guns, and cannons ruthlessly covered it. ”
"Thank you!" Mu Chen said with a smile.
He didn't believe that this guy came to Huaxia just to boast that he was not a film.
As for the purpose of coming, Mu Chen naturally guessed a few points.
Steve Lucas didn't directly explain his intentions, but talked about the movie with Mu Chen.
In this regard, Mu Chen is naturally very happy.
He can't ask for communication with a big director like Hollywood.
Mu Chen never thought that he was a good man, and he never let go of studying.
He likes to talk about movies with big domestic directors such as Zhang Gang, Chen Mouzhi and Xu Wen, and naturally he also likes to talk about movies with big Hollywood directors.
The fact that Hollywood movies are at the top of the world in many places cannot be ignored.
A "Avatar" can't change this fact.
It can only be said that after "Avatar", the living space of Chinese films in the international film market has become larger.
Talking about movies, then 3D movies, as well as IMAX technology, motion capture technology have to be mentioned.
It's not just Mu Chen and Steve Lucas who talk about movies, I'm afraid most filmmakers get together and talk about it now.
This has become a common topic among filmmakers around the world.
Even people outside the circle will talk about it.
Of course, when it comes to the layman, it is more about amazement than about itself.
"Cooperation?" Mu Chen looked at Steve Lucas with a smile and said, "No problem at all." ”
"Oh!" Steve Lucas didn't expect Mu Chen to be so crisp, and he was stunned for a moment.
However, he didn't know why he felt that Mu Chen's eyes looking at him were like the eyes of a wolf grandmother looking at a little lamb.
A big Hollywood director came to the door to take the initiative to cooperate?
Why did Mu Chen refuse.
Not to mention technical support, Muchen is also ready for financial support.
Of course, whether cooperation can be negotiated or not depends on how to cooperate.
As for how to work together, that's a matter for Chen Fuhai and Harvey Wayne.
"Avatar" swept the world, Li Lihong and Zhou Fangling and others became popular, even Qin Yu, who did not show his true face.
Of course, the popularity is limited to China.
There is a lot of attention to this film abroad, but not much attention to the actors.
However, this is undoubtedly a surprise for many actors in "Avatar".
They never thought that they would go international with such a movie.
"According to the current box office trend of "Avatar", there is no suspense that this film will reach the top of the global box office list. Many media outlets estimate that the film will grossing more than $3 billion worldwide. Chen Fuhai said to Mu Chen with a little excitement.
This film is not the film with the highest return rate for Mu Chen, but it is definitely the one that makes the most money.
And that's not even counting the profitability of the output of technical equipment.
"When are you going to Los Angeles?" Mu Chen nodded and asked.
For him, "Avatar" has become a thing of the past, and he naturally doesn't pay so much attention.
He is ready to get up and go to the United States to prepare his first superhero movie, Iron Man!
This will be a pure "Hollywood" movie.
It is also the first Hollywood movie directed by Mu Chen.
"The Love of People and Ghosts" is at most a joint venture film.
"There are so many things in the company, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while?" Chen Fuhai shook his head and said, "You can only bring someone over first." I really can't do it, I'm still staying in China. ”
"It's fine. Mu Chen nodded.
Dawn Film and Television is indeed inseparable from Chen Fuhai now.
"Journey to the West" has started filming, the post-production of "Resident Evil" has also been completed, "Truman's World" has also started, and "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Shaolin Football" are also about to start......
Although Chen Fuhai does not do it himself, he has to control the overall situation.
