Chapter 549: Released

Are there any films that have both awards and box office?

Naturally, there is.

Definitely not much, though.

What's more, Mu Chen's "Titanic" was filmed in a hurry, with some "rush" meaning.

This kind of "rushing" film, taking into account the box office and awards, is not an ordinary difficulty.

Therefore, many people are not optimistic about the box office of this film.

Although this film almost swept the Oscars, there is no doubt about it, but are there still few classic films that hit the street at the box office?

It doesn't have to be another one that is popular or not!

Many people who are not optimistic about this film feel that Mu Chen is afraid that he will be slapped in the face this time.

Two billion dollars?

This is a minimum standard that Mu Chen has set for himself.

This seems to many to be too much to expect. If Mu Chen said a billion dollars, it is estimated that no one will doubt it.

With reference to the original version, the special effects technology is better than the original, and the market potential is much greater than when the original version was released.

If the box office is not even as good as the original, then what is it if it is not a failure?

In terms of awards, Mu Chen felt that he was not much success, but he was not a failure.

Even, Mu Chen felt that it was more successful than the original version.

After all, Mu Chen was shortlisted for the Oscar before the film was released, but the original version was released after the release, and I don't know how much more influential it was.

Mu Chen's new film "Titanic" is about to be released, and Mu Chen threatened to have a minimum box office of $2 billion, which instantly caused an amazing topic.

"A box office of two billion dollars is a hurdle, and it may not be possible to release a film in a few years. However, director Mu Chen is one of the most box office appealing directors in the world, especially good at commercial films. Just look at the global box office list, he alone accounts for how much. ”

"The film "Titanic", he is confident that it will break two billion dollars, so it may not be higher. Those who know him well know that he always has a little bit of room to say. Perhaps, it can really surpass "Avatar" and become the top of the global box office list. ”

This is what Scorsese said when asked about "Titanic".

At first glance, it seemed to be supporting Mu Chen, but after thinking about it carefully, it felt like Mu Chen was roasting on the fire.

There's a little bit of a smack of killing.

What's more, those reporters misinterpreted Mu Chen's words.

What Mu Chen said was that not reaching two billion dollars was a failure. This is not to say that "Titanic" will necessarily reach two billion dollars.

Two billion dollars is just a goal that Mu Chen has set for himself.

Of course, Scorsese is not the only filmmaker being asked about this topic.

"Two billion dollars is definitely a hurdle, and few people can overcome it. If "Titanic" wants to move forward, it has to set off a global wave of movie-watching. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to break two billion dollars. ”

Director Mu Chen's previous films such as "Sword Immortal", "Martial God" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" have all exceeded $1.5 billion at the global box office, isn't it normal for him to set a box office target of $2 billion for his "Titanic"?"

"Director Mu Chen is a person who is good at creating miracles, but it is not easy for a film to break the box office record of two billion US dollars. It's not just about the quality of the film, it's also about the market. ”

......

As soon as Mu Chen's words of "two billion US dollars" came out, it sparked a global topic.

Many people in the film industry have given their own opinions on this.

There are those who believe, and there are those who do not.

In any case, the publicity of this film is getting louder and louder.

Judging from the publicity effect, Mu Chen's "two billion dollars" came out better than sweeping the Oscars.

"Two billion dollars, you're not afraid of being slapped in the face!" Li Ruoxi looked at Mu Chen with a smile and said.

"I'm talking about hope, but not necessarily so much. Mu Chen pouted and said.

The media misinterpreted the meaning of his words, but Mu Chen didn't explain, and he didn't bother to explain.

What's more, if he explains, I'm afraid that those media will say that he has no confidence in his film.

"Actually, I'm quite optimistic about the box office of "Titanic". What's more, the films released at the same time have no competitors. Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

The film has not yet been released, but many people have seen it.

Li Ruoxi naturally saw it.

"Who can say for sure?" Mu Chen smiled and said.

After "Titanic" was finalized, many Hollywood blockbusters avoided it, let alone in China.

Therefore, almost all the films released at the same time are cannon fodder.

Mu Chen's films have always overwhelmed the films of the same period, not to mention that this film also swept the Oscars, and Mu Chen even said that the box office that did not reach $2 billion was a failure.

With such a film, who wants to be released at the same time?

No one is going to have trouble with money.

The absence of decent competitors is naturally extremely beneficial to the box office of "Titanic".

On Friday, July 9, under the watchful eye of the public, "Titanic" was released simultaneously around the world.

Countless movie fans walked into the theater to see it.

Because there are no decent competitors in the same period, whether it is domestic or foreign, the film schedule has reached a new high, breaking the record of film premiere scheduling in recent years.

Scorsese was also the first to enter the theater to watch the film.

I don't know if he wants to find fault with him, or if he is just curious about this film.

In fact, many of Mu Chen's films will attract many people in the film industry to watch them.

The film begins quickly.

After the subtitles, what appeared in front of the audience was a record of a recent exploration team salvaging the wreckage of the Titanic in a certain sea area.

They salvaged a safe, and cheers rang out.

But when they opened the safe, there was only a picture album except a puddle of muddy water, and the mud on it was washed away with clean water, and people faintly saw a full nude sketch of a woman.

And that woman is the heroine of this movie, and the gem around her neck is the target of the exploration team: the heart of the ocean.

The salvage of the Titanic, coupled with the birth of that album, also attracted the attention of many media.

The screen switches, a 101-year-old old lady who exudes wisdom is busy at home, and after seeing the news on TV, she asks the people around her to amplify their voices.

"I'd like to make sure, because the naked woman in the album might be me. ”

As this sentence was spoken, in different places, the audience watching the movie let out an exclamation in unison, they knew that the heroine appeared, but in the form of memories.

Time traveled to 1912, when a completely one-to-one replica of the Titanic with the "Dream Ship" appeared on the screen, and the picture of that period was completely reproduced, the busy docks and the costumes of people of different classes and professions.

Looking at this, Scorsese's pupils contracted a little.

Just from the beginning, he saw how powerful this film is in the details.

No wonder it was able to be shortlisted for fourteen Oscars, no wonder it almost swept the Oscars.

The Titanic docked at the dock waiting for departure, the passengers who waved goodbye and the relatives and friends who came to see them off, the well-dressed upper-class guests strolling on the first-class cabin, the laborers on the dock, the crew in white uniforms on the bow of the ship, and the poorly dressed low-level passengers in some specific areas, to the rich young masters and aristocratic ladies in top hats in luxury cars...... It looks like a social being in the early twentieth century.

These shots are amazing enough.

At this time, the heroine Ruth appeared.

Somewhere on the docks, Jack is playing cards with a few friends.

After a card contest, Jack and his friends get tickets to catch the cruise ship just as they are about to leave......

It's a three-hour movie, and after watching it for forty minutes or an hour, some viewers can't help but fall into a state of irritability and lethargy.

The previous plot is a little boring for many viewers.

But more viewers are caught up in the story.

Because the image of the characters gradually plumped up in the hearts of the audience little by little.

The film continues.

After boarding the ship, the encounter and love between the heroes and heroines Jack and Ross during the voyage, and a special encounter with the big ship, under the inertial thinking of the captain Edward and the carelessness of the crew, they finally crashed into the iceberg.

Seeing the big ship that was about to sink in three sections, fans couldn't help but let out exclamations.

In fact, perhaps even they themselves don't remember how many exclamations they have made since the film began to be screened, and they never thought that they would be so interested in a movie.

At the beginning, the plot of the film may not have anything particularly praiseworthy, a luxurious mail road, living in an ivory tower, a love story of some delicate aristocratic ladies who meet a grassroots prince.

But it was this story that deeply attracted them, making them forget to eat, and their emotions always fluctuated back and forth with the development of the plot.

At this time, the big ship was silent, but it shocked everyone.

Mu Chen's films, the special effects have always been amazing.

The same is true for this film. Mu Chen can say unceremoniously that it is much better than the original version.

Visually stunning, it strongly stimulates all audiences.

It's so realistic!

All the viewers felt like they were witnessing the silence of the Titanic.

In the face of disaster, humanity is revealed.

Every time a shot is screened, fans will be amazed by the incredible reality of the movie.

When the two protagonists, Jack and Rose, jump into the icy sea, they feel worried, angry when they see the antagonist Karl, and countless people struggling in the icy waters, and finally fall silent after silence.

Seeing this, Scorsese sighed.

His previous unconvincing dissipated completely.

This film is indeed better than its own "Dawn".
