Chapter 528: Box Office, Box Office
Lu Lin is not a raptor crossing the river, in Lao Mei's territory, not to mention that he is a small boss of a film company, even if he is a domestic billionaire, it is quite troublesome to be calculated by big conglomerates or Wall Street executives.
This time, it should be regarded as a warning!
The main reason is that Longlin Pictures' special effects blockbusters have harvested too much box office around the world in the past two years, except for Warner, a vested interest, which has made too many Hollywood filmmakers and the investors behind them dissatisfied.
And the North American box office annual crown, in the hearts of many Hollywood filmmakers, is still quite a glorious thing. To be finally taken away by a Chinese-language movie is simply a shame for the whole of Hollywood.
But this time, I don't know if Warner contributed to it, or if a few companies didn't discuss it, they actually let "Lich War" win 520 million in North America before it broke out, and it was already temporarily won the North American annual championship.
In second place is "Beauty and the Beast" in March, with a North American box office of 504 million. But it may also be that the Yankees are too confident and think that it is okay to release two more films with a box office of more than 500 million in the second half of the year.
"Clash of the Lich" was temporarily screened in major commercial theaters in North America, saying that it would be re-rated. It is said that the daughter was frightened by the mother and daughter after watching the movie, and Lu Lin also saw it, and arranged for someone to investigate the girl's past cases and do a psychiatric evaluation.
But this matter is very troublesome, just like the porcelain that is often encountered in modern times, the other party said that the head hurts, it is a variety of examinations, and the average family must not be able to stand it.
But fortunately, Longlin Pictures has money, and there is definitely no need to think about the huge compensation, and then arrange two people to accompany the mother and daughter, and there will be endless lawsuits.
The most important thing is that this precedent cannot be opened, and I think the six major Hollywood studios also understand this truth, after all, domestic people do not have the habit of suing at every turn.
It is said that when "Journey to the West" was released, many parents took their children to watch the movie, but they saw a cute little girl being eaten by a water demon, which really scared many children to cry, and I didn't hear who was going to sue the filmmaker.
But if things were to be put in North America, maybe it would be a big deal!
The matter of "Lich War" is temporarily dragged on, North America is not the home field, but overseas and in Chinese mainland, Lu Lin also has a way to snipe Hollywood blockbusters.
said that Lu Lin stayed in North America for less than five days and returned to China, and the matter was reported back to China and caused an uproar, which attracted media reports, and the popularity was not as hot as "Wolf Warrior 2", which was being hotly promoted.
What's even better is that "The Lich War" was obviously treated unfairly in North America, which inspired the patriotic enthusiasm of many netizens and went to the theater to support, so that "The Lich War", which was hitting 4 billion, actually killed 4.2 billion, which surprised everyone, including Lu Lin.
According to this trend, it will be 4.4 billion when it is released!
But other domestic film companies are a little depressed, Longlin Pictures' blockbusters are one after another, and the connection is too good, and they simply don't give others a way to live.
In the film market in July, there are still a few films with bright spots, including "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", which was released on the 19th, and has a good reputation, but the box office is not good.
In the name of martial arts, this film talks about the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that the theme of the story in the film is too far away from modern people, although it is also called well-made, but it can't impress more audiences, and it is typical of applause.
Then there is "Father and Son" on the 21st, a new work directed by Da Tou. However, it is said that since "Pancake Man" became an instant hit, the big expansion is still quite optimistic about the capital and the market.
It's a pity that this comedy with Mr. Fan Debiao lacks sincerity, the production is rough, and the plot twists are blunt and full of mistakes and omissions, which can be regarded as a complete flutter.
Throughout July, these two films can attract the attention of netizens a little, plus "The Legend of Wukong", which collapsed in word-of-mouth, and the gift blockbuster "The Great Cause of the Army", as well as "Wolf Warrior 2", which was not broadcast first.
On the 27th, "Wolf Warrior 2" was officially released, and the report received 410 million on the same day (including zero point games), which was not as ferocious as "The Wandering Earth" and "Lich War", presumably because many viewers were not interested in domestic military action movies.
But the word-of-mouth side is completely blown up, or the controversy is too big!
People who like this film want to "Amway" to their friends around them, and they can't wait for all their relatives and friends to watch it. And what I don't like is naturally all kinds of criticism, the content is brutal and bloody, which frightens children. Excessive YY, Americans don't dare to evacuate overseas Chinese, Britain, France, the United States and Russia don't go, just China can!
This argument was the first to spread on the Internet, but fortunately, Longlin Pictures has a special member in the publicity and distribution department who is responsible for word-of-mouth maintenance.
"Team leader, there are a lot of one-star negative reviews pouring into the comic, all of which say that China's evacuation of overseas Chinese is too fake!"
"Increase the retweet and publicity of the film adaptation from Yemen!"
"Team leader, there are many short comments that the war scene is too bloody!"
"Organize a manpower response, just say that the real battlefield is bloodier than this, and the domestic audience is too comfortable to live!"
"Team leader, there are a lot more Jing Xiang and one star don't explain?"
"Uh, let's put this one out for now!"
……
With the support of the majority of netizens and the maintenance of word-of-mouth by the publicity and distribution department of Longlin Pictures, the comic score of "Wolf Warrior 2" has always remained between 7.3 and 7.4, constantly fluctuating up and down, and the battle situation is also tragic!
"Wolf Warrior 2" was released hotly, and the word-of-mouth can only be said to be slightly better than the passing grade, and it does not reach the classic score, but the box office is soaring, exceeding 500 million on the 28th, and 480 million on the 29th.
The first three days were fierce, and that was a good publicity. The follow-up trend and the final box office mainly depend on word of mouth.
The clinker "Wolf Warrior 2" is also super high at the box office on weekdays, and the decline is narrow, which surprises many industry insiders.
And when some people who often work or travel in Africa publish African experiences and posts related to the evacuation of Yemeni nationals are exposed, "Wolf Warrior 2" has always maintained a high popularity on the Internet, and a large number of "spiritual shareholders" were born.
The day after the camp was attacked, the company's leaders risked their lives to visit various project departments...... The leadership of state-owned enterprises overseas is responsible, and it is really reliable at critical moments.
When organizing the retreat, unlike the plot of the movie, the Chinese are very united, organized and disciplined, women are the first to get on board, ordinary employees and workers are the second to board, leading the last group to retreat.
At that time, there was a colleague in the United States, who called the U.S. Embassy at the beginning of the riots, but until we got on the ship, the impression of the omnipotent U.S. government did not react at all, and he still got on our cruise.
When I got on the ship, I saw that people from other countries also wanted to climb on the ship, but they were driven down by the Greek crew with poles, and I was a little sad and helpless, and many of these people were trapped in the local area and died in the war......
In the movie, Wu Jing carried the national flag through the war zone is not a fabrication, at that time, there were people in Libya who withdrew to Egypt by land, had to pass through the territory of the opposition and government forces, and the Chinese passed safely with the national flag or Chinese passport.
Some people lose their passports, so they let him sing a national anthem, and after singing, they are allowed to pass. China's image and status in Africa are still quite high. ”
