Chapter 133: The "Avengers" are coming

When a director is a director, he is a little "obsessed" in his heart.

Liu Zhenwei loves peach blossoms, and in many of the films he has made, there is always a "peach blossom plot". The most widely known to the public is the Spring Thirteen Niang in "Journey to the West", "peach blossoms are everywhere, and not a single inch of grass grows".

Wang Jiawei's obsession is parting, it seems that he has made a lot of movies, but in fact, they all tell the same story, meeting and leaving.

The obsession of the "national teacher" is "thick ink and color", and the artistic conception is not important to the plot. The beautiful composition is easy to come by, and the storytelling is greatly reduced.

Director Xu Ke used to be "troubled times" and "cool special effects", but later went north to shoot a film and lost his feelings and only special effects, and cooperated with Huayi, but it was a pity that it was .......

There is also Wu Yushen's white dove, and "Night Paris" where almost every work of Ning Hao appears.

And Lu Lin's obsession is actually a "tragic hero". Since he was a child, his family was unhappy, his parents were separated, and he practiced martial arts as a young man to become self-reliant. Even if he envies the heroes of the sky with one hand, he also feels sorry for himself.

Seriously, if he doesn't make special effects blockbusters such as fantasy, Xianxia, and science fiction in a few years, he will shoot Huo Quai, Yue Wumu, Wen Tianxiang, Li Dingguo, .......

always says that "the drama is in charge, and the hero is in tears", the problem is that the reports of celebrities are swiped every day, and the deeds of heroes, hehe!

"The Legend of Xue Rengui" still has to avoid "Goguryeo" and change the object of the army to Boliao. As for other jaw-dropping divine operations, it's all water, so don't mention it!

According to legend, Hengdian kills 700 million devils every year, and it can circle the earth for two weeks.

Lu Lin's feelings, Ying Bao and Fat Di don't understand. But his opinion, the two did not dare to ignore. The next day, Fat Di left the crew to go to the play, Ying Bao rushed to the capital, and was about to shoot the drama "Shanshan is Coming", while Lu Lin continued the boring and arduous filming of "Houyi Shooting the Sun".

……

Because there are no major holidays, March and April are often seen as the low season for movie releases. Except for some imported blockbusters, most of the domestic films scheduled for these two months are small and medium-sized productions.

It is not worth mentioning much, although the box office of "Killing" directed by Guan Yu was less than 20 million, the film later gained a lot at the Golden Horse Awards.

and "The Great Gold Robbery" directed by Ning Hao, although the box office exceeded 150 million, but the reputation was not good.

What really made fans excited at the film market in April was the "Titanic 3D" version, the distributor focused on nostalgic marketing, and posts "Where were the people who watched the Titanic with you fifteen years ago!" flooded the Internet.

With the blessing of feelings and 3D special effects, after an old film from 15 years ago was re-screened with 3D special effects, it won 946 million box office in the mainland, almost 1 billion!

can't help but make domestic filmmakers more aware of the power of 3D blockbusters, shipwreck blockbusters, fifteen years ago. Internet downloads, pirated CDs, how many times have I watched this.

Add a 3D special effect to re-enter the theater, and it can actually circle a billion box office, how can it be embarrassing to call "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"! Anyway, after Yu Dong learned such box office data, he was quite resentful.

And the producer of "Painted Skin 2" has strengthened his confidence in converting to 3D, this Nima is clearly stupid, has a lot of money, and comes quickly!

And in May, "The Avengers", which really announced the formation of the "Marvel Universe", will also land in the mainland market.

In fact, as early as April 25, "Avengers" took the lead in opening in ten overseas film markets, attracting $17.1 million on the first day. On May 5, the North American market exploded, with a box office of $80.5 million on the first day, ranking second in film history.

Among the more than 30 countries and regions that have been first released, it has earned a total box office of 334 million US dollars, and its ability to attract money at the box office is terrifying. In the domestic film market, a wolf is coming.

However, "The Avengers", which chose to land in the mainland market on Saturday, achieved a first-week box office of more than 119 million on Saturday and Sunday, which is more than the first-day box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" and less than that of "The Alliance of the Gods", which is a bit embarrassing.

For this reason, some domestic media published articles that Hollywood superhero blockbusters failed at the mainland box office, and the box office in the first week was not as good as that of "The Alliance of the Gods". There is not a word about the crazy gold absorption of "The Avengers" overseas.

Lu Lin doesn't agree with this kind of reporting method, but the media has always had this tradition, and he can't say anything.

Yu Dong, who was deeply stimulated, once again walked into the crew of "Houyi Shooting the Sun" in the name of visiting the class. It happened to be the time for lunch to eat, and the two of them didn't go far, so they found a restaurant near the set and asked for a box that was convenient for talking.

"The overseas box office of "The Avengers" is too powerful, and in twelve or three days, it has rolled up more than 300 million US dollars, more than 200 million yuan!" Yu Dong put down his wine glass and sighed.

Lu Lin smiled and said: "This is really not envious, most of people's overseas markets are influenced and dominated by European and American culture, and it took a few years and a few blockbusters to pave the way, it really didn't happen all at once!"

After a few folds in the North American market, Yu Dong gradually agreed with what Lu Lin said about cultural differences. In fact, don't look at the box office of "Avengers 1" sweeping 1.5 billion US dollars around the world, but the box office in the mainland market is only more than 560 million, which is only equivalent to the box office results of the first day in the North American market!

"Yes, but the problem is that the scale of Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia is limited, and "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" may not be able to attract too much box office!" Yu Dong sighed.

Lu Lin said: "The habit of watching movies is cultivated little by little, so if you shoot a few more films, they will naturally look forward to watching too much." And my idea this time is that it will be released simultaneously around the world. Of course, the focus is on Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. As for other overseas film markets, you can also try to work hard. ”

Because the filming of the film is only halfway through, and the special effects also take a lot of time, the issue of overseas release has not been discussed in too much detail before.

Yu Dong heard Lu Lin say this, and very agreed: "Okay, this is a good idea, we can't just watch Marvel's super blockbusters harvest the box office in the domestic market, our special effects blockbusters can't get out!"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "That's what I'm talking about, not only to go out, but also to occupy the market little by little." If you gain a firm foothold in the markets of Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, you will be able to make higher-cost blockbusters in the future!"

Yu Dong was taken aback by this, "It's still high, the cost of more than 600 million is not small!"

Lu Lin smiled and said: "You just watch thieves eat meat, and you don't see thieves being beaten! "The Avengers" has a very high box office, but do you know how much it costs? 220 million US dollars, more than a billion yuan!"
