The 2015 North American summer season is definitely better than last year, at least in another time and space, there are four movies with more than 300 million in the period. Unlike 14 years, the box office champion "Guardians of the Galaxy" earned only $281 million during the period.

But the lack of films between 200 million and 300 million shows that the tastes of North American audiences are becoming picky and stubborn, quite a bit of "the films that suit the taste are watched to death, and the untasteful ones are not watched by life and death", which is quite capricious.

Such a market environment is mixed for "The Three-Body Problem", but fortunately, in the top four of this year's summer file, "Jurassic World", "Avengers 2" and "Mind Agent" were all released in May and June, and did not compete head-on with "The Three-Body Problem".

"Minions with Big Eyes", which ranked fourth in the schedule, although it and "The Three-Body Problem" were both painted on the same day as July 10, one is a family carnival cartoon, and the other is a hardcore sci-fi blockbuster, at least in terms of genre and audience, the conflict is not serious.

What's more, the Chinese-language film market has gradually become able to withstand the release of two, three or even four "blockbusters" at the same time, and the collision between "The Three-Body Problem" and "Minions" is not a big deal.

As for "Ant-Man", which will be released on July 17, although it is a "superhero series", due to its low popularity in the Marvel Universe, the total box office in North America in another time and space is 180 million US dollars, which is not as good as the 190 million in the first three days of the first weekend of "Avengers II" and the 209 million in the first weekend of "Jurassic World", which is not too threatening.

The only thing to worry about is that these proud Americans are resistant to Chinese-language sci-fi blockbusters, which have always been a source of pride for Hollywood filmmakers.

is similar to when "Kung Fu Panda" was released, many Chinese people hated Chinese movies and directors for not being angry, and actually asked foreigners to take the two elements of panda and kung fu that represent China to make a global blockbuster.

Therefore, whether it is the media or some filmmakers, when talking about "The Three-Body Problem", most of them have a sour tone.

On the evening of Sunday, July 5, the premiere ceremony of the movie "Three-Body Problem" was held in North America, and many senior executives of the distributor Warner, film director Lu Lin, heroine Jing Yan, and supporting actors Dou Sen and Gai Erjia Duo all walked on the red carpet of the premiere.

There were also many media outlets, such as the Hollywood Reporter and the Philadelphia Investigator, which have always been negative.

During the interview, a reporter from the Philadelphia Investigator, a very tall Caucasian questioned, "Director Lu, I heard that you Chinese respect Xianxia culture more and do not pay much attention to science." What gave you the confidence to enter the North American market with "The Three-Body Problem"!"

Lu Lin smiled and said: "Of course it is the original work of "The Three-Body Problem", this is really a very good literary work, I heard that Mr. Zuckerberg recommended this book on her social platform. and Mr. Obama, President Xian, who has returned to China, are all loyal fans of "The Three-Body Problem". ”

The reporters of the Philadelphia Investigator had ugly faces, and the rest of the reporters couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, Lu Lin really wanted to take out the sentence "You are all bugs" that the three-body people said to the earthlings and slap the garbage of everyone present, but after all, it was not good to use a wide range of taunting skills on the day of the premiere, so he still held back.

But he wanted to stop, but someone didn't make Lu Lin happy, it was Harvey of Weinstein Company. This thing first looked at Jing Yan, who was accompanying Lu Lin, with some greed, and then grinned:

"Congratulations, director Lu Lin, there will be a new work released so soon, anyway, this film won't be just a casual film, right? Let me tell you that other themes can be fooled at the box office with national characteristics in Hollywood, but science fiction movies, you don't have to think about it. Our audience has the strictest requirements for scientific knowledge and settings! Even superheroes have to follow the laws of science!"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "I don't bother Mr. Harvey about this, I believe that the American people will like "The Three-Body Problem", just like President Obama of your country also likes the original "Three-Body Problem". ”

Harvey was dumbfounded, the president of the country likes it, this thing is really fucked up. He muttered a quick sentence in his mouth, presumably scolding the president.

Anyway, for Lao Mei, scolding the president is not a big deal, as long as you don't say threatening language, such as assassination, no one will look for you.

At the beginning of the premiere ceremony, Mr. Obama, a fan of the original book, was not present, probably because he was afraid of insecurity, or he was waiting for word of mouth.

The first half of the movie is indifferent to most Americans. After all, there are too many sci-fi blockbusters to watch, and it wasn't until Luo Ji began to think about the three-body man, why he was afraid of him, and why he had to assassinate him, that the audience cheered up.

Then it's time to see hi!

The water drop detector of the Trimaran Fleet almost wiped out the Earth Space Fleet, and the special effects scene was so shocking that even the Yankees, who were used to seeing all kinds of blockbusters, opened their mouths wide, and even a few people shouted God bless.

But what is even more shocking is the portrayal of human nature in the film, when it was learned that the "spell" was useful, a large crowd came to Luo Ji and knelt down sincerely, "Shout Lord, save us!"

"Our God, save the world!"

But once the public was unable to get Luo Ji to come up with a rescue plan, they were completely disappointed with it. He spurned him one after another, expelled Luo Ji from the community where he lived, and was driven down by someone in a car.

The explosion of technology, the chain of suspicion, and the theory of the dark forest have all triggered countless audiences to reverie!

And when human beings fell into complete despair, Luo Ji took the vital signs monitor to Yang Dong's tomb. Threatening the Trisolaran civilization, it claims that the signals sent by the monitor can reach the 3,614 nuclear bombs deployed in the orbit of the sun through the link of the cradle system.

The dust from the explosion of these nuclear bombs will launch the coordinates of the solar system, which in turn threatens the Trisolaran civilization and eventually brings it to its knees.

Under the background of the pure music "Victory", the whole picture looks atmospheric and tragic, and many American viewers have tears in their eyes when they see it, waving their fists and shouting "nice!"

At the end of the movie, these Yankees stood up and applauded, and at this moment, I am afraid that not many people will consider that this movie is a Chinese film. It can be seen that the theme of science fiction can resonate among countries and nations!

As soon as the ceremony in North America ended, Lu Lin and Jing Yan hurriedly flew back to China and returned to the crew to continue filming tasks.

As for the box office of "The Three-Body Problem", just sit back and wait!

With the successive launch of screenings and premieres at home and abroad, the reputation of "The Three-Body Problem" has fermented in advance, and now it is already a one-sided praise.

But the producer of "Little Times 4" is not afraid, in the words of director Guo Xiaosi, "You have special effects, I have fans, who can have the last laugh is not necessarily!"
