Chapter 504: I Mu Chen never repays grievances with virtue
At the Golden Dragon Award ceremony, Scorsese criticized Muchen superhero movies again, which detonated the topic.
And his words also caused dissatisfaction among Chinese fans and superhero movie fans.
As for his words that are similar to invitations to war and provocations, they naturally caused great heated discussions.
Scorsese is one of Hollywood's top directors, winning the Oscar for Best Director, and has shot several films that are considered classics by fans.
But Muchen is not weak.
He has won the Oscar for Best Director more than once as a Chinese filmmaker, and if you count other Oscars, he is still the filmmaker who has won the most Oscars.
Mu Chen's movies over the years have rarely won awards, but the box office is extremely amazing. Everyone can see that Mu Chen is not unable to make award-winning movies, but he is more commercial.
If Mu Chen really makes an award-winning film, I'm afraid he may not be able to do it.
Of course, it doesn't have to be.
Although Mu Chen is powerful, it is not enough to make people think that he can win the award if he wants to.
There are no such powerful people in this world.
After Mu Chen responded in an interview with media reporters after the award ceremony, he didn't pay attention to the matter.
He's ready to pack his things and head to Hollywood.
And Scorsese is not so dashing.
As soon as he returned to the hotel, he quarreled with the producer.
"Do you want the Huaxia market?"
"Do you know how influential Mu Chen is in Huaxia?"
"Do you know how much damage you caused by saying that?"
......
The producer's roar echoed in Scorsese's ears, but he remained unimpressed.
The topic has soared, and it has aroused the curiosity of countless people.
Curiosity can make fans walk into the theater.
As for the boycott of Muchen's fans, it was just verbal.
What's more, how many fans can Mu Chen have? Could it be that Huaxia fans are all fans of Mu Chen.
Then isn't he rebelling against heaven?
The Chinese shouted for resistance, but the body was very honest.
Is this kind of thing happening less?
Isn't there a joke about a Chinese man holding a Japanese-made loudspeaker on the street and passionately calling for a boycott of Japanese products?
How well the movie box office is ultimately depends on the film itself.
Could it be that just because he expressed his opinion at the awards ceremony, Huaxia fans really didn't watch it.
What's more, don't the issuers know how to guide public opinion?
I, Scorsesese, dare to say this, don't Chinese fans want to see if I have this qualification?
Are you qualified, don't you know if you have watched this movie?
Domestic publishers did just that, but unfortunately it had little effect.
Scorsese obviously miscalculated Mu Chen's influence and the incitement ability of Mu Chen's fans.
Or rather, he misestimated the charm of his films.
Nowadays, with the rise of Chinese-language films, Hollywood is no longer as irreplaceable in the Chinese market.
The influence of Hollywood movies in the Chinese market has long been much less than before.
If you are irreplaceable, then you can be willful.
But you are not irreplaceable, then you have to pay for your willfulness!
There is no shortage of blockbusters in Chinese-language movies.
"Dawn" was released simultaneously around the world, because the schedule was not so good, and there were no strong competitors. Whether it is Huaxia or North America, the film schedule is still good.
However, this film may be more literary and artistic, and the performance on the award is good, but it is a little less commercial and has a good reputation, but it is not very popular with fans, and the box office is not very good.
On the first day of its release in North America, it was only nearly $20 million, and it didn't even win the single-day box office championship.
As for the second largest film market in Huaxia, it is even more miserable, and the attendance rate is outrageously low.
The box office on the first day was only a few million Chinese dollars!
Yes, not in dollars, but in Chinese dollars.
Equivalent to US dollars, less than a million.
The films were ranked in the top three, and the box office on the first day almost fell out of the top ten.
How so?
In the eyes of many people, it was undoubtedly because of the boycott by Muchen fans.
Now that the potential of the Chinese film market is exploding, it is undoubtedly extremely rare for such a film schedule to have a box office of less than 10 million on the first day.
Muchen's fan boycott may play a key role, but there is no reason why Hollywood films are not as attractive to Chinese fans as before.
"Dawn" set a record for the lowest premiere box office of a Hollywood film in China this time.
I'm afraid it's not just the lowest first-day box office record, I'm afraid the total box office is also the same.
A murderous fan like Mu Chen has already scolded on the Internet when he learned that the box office of "Dawn" was millions. Its ferocity will definitely scare off countless fans.
There is no way, there are countless fans who have threatened to go to the theater to squat, catch one and scold another.
It may just be talking, but someone will definitely be affected.
What's more, people have a herd mentality.
Everyone is shouting for boycott, you run to see, it's a little unsociable!
China's first-day box office was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Scorsese.
And this incident was subsequently exposed, attracting global media coverage.
It also stunned countless filmmakers.
Scorsese was stunned at the Golden Dragon Awards, but was boycotted by Muchen's fans, and the movie hit the street.
Mu Chen's influence in China has once again attracted the attention of Hollywood.
In other words, it has attracted the attention of filmmakers around the world.
The box office on the first day was only a few million, which is unimaginable.
But as soon as the box office came out the next day, everyone was stunned.
More than a million... Chinese Dollars!
Although the box office on the first day was miserable and the film schedule dropped sharply, it was not only more than one million!
After the sharp decrease in film scheduling, the attendance rate is still very low!
This is the trend of painting in the first two days of the release!
"Dawn" is a film that won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film, and it is also a Hollywood film, not a well-known film.
This box office is a bit miserable!
Even if it is a film from France, India, or even some Middle Eastern countries, as long as it shows its face at the Golden Dragon Awards, the box office is many times higher than the box office of this film.
Is it difficult to break 10 million at the total box office?
Huaxia's small-cost bad movies are higher than this box office!
The investment in the film "Dawn" is hundreds of millions of dollars!
It's scary to think about!
Mu Chen's fans are too murderous.
Last time, a domestic blockbuster was planted under their boycott.
This time it turned out to be a Hollywood film.
And the director is also a top Hollywood director.
Awesome my brother!
Muchen fans were happy and excited.
They feel invincible.
Two boycotts, two successes, and each time the results are more astonishing.
What's more, this time there is no film from Dawn Film and Television to snipe "Dawn"!
Who would dare to underestimate us?
Muchen fans are famous all over the world.
Let people all over the world know that our Muchen fans are amazing.
Muchen fans are a little floating.
Scorsese regretted not being at the beginning, but he also knew that even if he apologized, it would be too late.
How can a director have such an impact?
How can it be!
Hey, the bitter fruit you planted, you have to swallow it with tears.
"It really has nothing to do with me. ”
Mu Chenren is already in Hollywood, but he can't escape the pursuit of media reporters.
"I've never said anything about boycotting, and not even Dawn Films has any film sniping at that film. Mu Chen said, "As for the fan boycott, maybe it's other reasons!"
"The low box office is not necessarily the reason for the boycott. Maybe it's a problem with the film itself. Mu Chen said, "Although there is no contradiction between awards and box office, it is not easy to have both." ”
"Director Scorsese is a good director and I love a lot of his work. Mu Chen said, "Dawn" can win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Foreign Language, and director Scorsese also won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director with this film. This film is naturally a good movie. I haven't seen this film, as for why the box office is not satisfactory, maybe there is a little less commercial element! If you don't like the film, no matter how good the movie is, it is useless."
......
If you don't look at it, how do you know you don't like it?
Mu Chen did not support this film, and he will not support this film.
Some media reporters obviously want to lead Mu Chen to this direction.
But who Mu Chen is, how can he not see it.
His temper did not let Dawn Film or Dream Pictures snipe at the film, nor did he call for a boycott of foundation, which was already benevolent.
If you want him to support this film to promote the box office, don't even think about it.
Mu Chen has never been the master who repays grievances with virtue.
"Scorsese's "Dawn" failed miserably at the Chinese box office, so that Dream Pictures received the goodwill of other Hollywood studios. Well, to be precise, those kindnesses are for you. Harvey said to Mu Chen with a smile.
There was a bit of sarcasm in his words.
Other film and television companies expressed "goodwill", but they were naturally shocked by Mu Chen's influence in the Huaxia film market.
Once is a coincidence, what about twice?
Last time, "White Snake" was boycotted by Muchen fans, which caused a lot of losses to the Fox Group, and was finally driven out of China.
This time, "Dawn" was boycotted by Muchen fans, and the Chinese box office of less than 10 million Chinese dollars stabbed the hearts of many investors.
Although the Chinese film market is still the second largest film market in the world, it is close to the North American film market.
Many Hollywood blockbusters failed at the box office in North America, but they recovered their costs with the help of the Chinese film market, and even made a lot of money.
Under the situation that the Chinese film market is becoming more and more valued by Hollywood filmmakers, Mu Chen shows such influence, it is strange that those film and television companies do not express their goodwill.
In fact, it is not so much goodwill as it is the intention to cooperate.
Mu Chen has such an amazing influence in the Chinese market, and if he cooperates with it, the Chinese market will undoubtedly be more secure.
"Dawn doesn't seem to be doing well at the North American box office. Mu Chen shook his head and smiled, and said, "Actually, this film hit the street in the Chinese box office market, and it really has nothing to do with me." ”
"Yes, it's none of your business, it's Scorsese who wants to die. Harvey smiled and said.
Mu Chen rolled his eyes directly, this guy obviously thought that he had done something because of the fiasco of "Dawn" at the box office in China.
Mu Chen felt that he was wronged, he really didn't do anything.
However, he was too lazy to explain, and there was no need to explain.
Some misunderstandings are not necessarily bad.
