In the North American film market, the primary issue related to film scheduling is the schedule coordination mechanism. NRG, a Nielsen Entertainment company, releases a report called "Competitive Positioning" every Saturday to major studios. The main role is to avoid schedule crashes for large companies that produce commercial films. The comparison between the strong makes them decide their own upfront investment, and the weak adjust the release plan.

This industry-specific coordination mechanism allows information to be aggregated, counted, analyzed, and then distributed by NRG, so that the film is fully coordinated before it enters the theater.

The summer file is a battleground for the "Big Six", and a large number of them gather every year. And from September onwards, the Oscars are released, and most of them are released "high-quality films". This is followed by the year-end and Christmas stalls, which are mainly family themes. In February of the new year, because of Valentine's Day, there were a large number of romantic comedies.

In the North American film market, because of the full competition of the six major film companies, the market and schedule are divided very carefully. Mainstream commercial cinemas and art cinemas can meet the viewing needs of almost all audiences.

Therefore, such a "revenge" movie-watching boom in China is almost impossible in North America.

Looking at the crowd in the hall of the studio, and even many young children, Richard Fox really doesn't understand, it's just a movie, how can this be like the New Year?

Seeing that Pan Xiao didn't react for a while, the old man asked again, "You guys, usually, films like this, uh, are other films much worse than this one?" This is probably a limited Chinese vocabulary, and some words are not meaningful.

Pan Xiao said: "Yes, yes, now many media call "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" the best commercial film in Chinese films!"

Richard Fox became more and more interested, nodded slightly, and said, "good, go buy a few movie tickets for the 3D scene, I want to see it early!"

I have my own accompanying assistant to queue up to buy tickets, IMAX tickets are sold out early, and although there are ordinary 3D fields, almost all that is left are the front row and corner positions. I want to watch it a little more comfortably, but I have to wait for three games.

The old man said that he would wait, and took the group out to eat, and only returned to the theater to watch the movie at nine o'clock in the evening.

Sitting at the back of the theater, looking at the people passing by one by one, there are couples, old men, and holding children, Richard Fox still feels emotional, "There are so many Chinese!"

Because of the popular small-town culture in the United States, there are only ten large cities with a population of more than one million, and such a scene is rare there.

Pan Xiao smiled, also proud of today's "demographic dividend", and said: "So the potential of China's film market is very large!"

"Indeed, the scale of your film market has grown too fast in the past two years, and we have only ...... over there"

The two chatted casually, and after a while, the opening advertisement was broadcast and began to enter the feature film. The Fusang Sacred Tree on the vast sea made the old man feel very imaginative, and when Hou Yi and a group of Wu giants about three meters tall appeared, Fawkes's eyes lit up and he whispered: "This, it looks even better than the Hulk!"

Followed by the fight between Hou Yi and the Fengfeng clan, the old man who saw it did not dare to blink, and only after this paragraph did he say good!

If you want to talk about action design in movies, Chinese movies, or Hong Kong movies, are definitely the teachers of Hollywood. Before Hong Kong martial arts talents entered Hollywood, the action fights in the old American blockbusters were really not very good-looking!

Lu Lin was born in a martial arts school, and has many years of experience in martial arts, coupled with the assistance of the "super micro computer", he is definitely a tiger with wings in action design. That is, it conforms to the mechanics of the human body, and the punches are fisted to the flesh, which is explosive and exciting.

In contrast, in the current Chinese film market, many action scenes are weak and weak, and people watching them are drowsy, and they can no longer stimulate people's adrenaline as before.

The plot continues, when all kinds of witch clans of different heights and statures gather at the foot of the mountain, and the twelve ancestors transform from human form, Fox couldn't help but clench his fists, and secretly said in his heart: "Even if it is a fresh monster movie, it can attract a lot of audiences, this film, it's gone!"

Later, the ancestors went to the depths of the starry sky to make an appointment, and the Emperor of Heaven took the opportunity to seal the gods of mountains and water. caused Hou Yi to fight Hebo, kill the mountain god, and the fight scene was still hot-blooded.

Fox can also understand it, after all, the direct cause is to avenge the woman and the clansman respectively. However, the mountain god and the water god drew the river Tuluo book, which caused several big witches to be nervous, and the old man didn't particularly understand. Xiang Xiao whispered, "Why are you so nervous about drawing maps?"

"Uh!" Pan Xiao was stunned, and the reason for this is easy to explain to Chinese, Japanese, South Korean, and even Southeast Asians. When I talk to Westerners, I don't know where to start.

Fox whispered to himself: "Is it because the rivers and mountains are on the earth, and the heavens secretly draw maps in preparation for invasion?

Pan Xiaoleng nodded, "Yes, yes, that's probably what happened!"

"Oh, then this Hou Yi is really a hero!" Fawkes praised.

Pan Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, and said secretly: "The Heavenly Court is actually here to comprehend the Mixed Yuan Heluo Great Array!" But this thing is not easy to explain.

The film continues, the contradictions and conflicts continue to escalate, Hou Yi fights the demon god Qingniu, and Kua's father dies day by day. Then Hou Yi shot nine golden crows in a row, and rushed towards the demon gods of the heavenly court without hesitation.

When the picture dimmed and became "Director Lu Lin's work", the old man was shocked, "This is gone?"

Pan Xiao said: "Well, it's over here!"

Fox was a little unsatisfied, and said: "When "The Lord of the Rings" came out three times in a row, there will be a sequel to this film, right?"

Pan Xiao said: "I heard that there will be!"

"Okay, let's go back to the hotel first, and we'll talk about the details tomorrow!" the old man put on a cold posture again, but in the hotel that night, the email to the CEO of Warner said:

"It's really hard to imagine that in a fledgling film market like China, a special effects blockbuster comparable to Hollywood's top productions could be born. In terms of the depth of the background of the story, I think it's a bit worse than "The Lord of the Rings". But in terms of special effects and imagination, it is no longer inferior to the best Hollywood blockbusters at present. ”

"The Chinese are so good at martial arts design, they always design action scenes that are both exciting and beautiful. Thinking about the kung fu frenzy set off by Bruce Lee, I am really a little hesitant to introduce this film to North America, it will definitely have an impact on the existing market structure!"

"But if we don't do it, MGM, Columbia, and even the infamous Harvey may be able to introduce this film to the United States and distribute it on a large scale!
