Chapter 311: Overseas Reaction
Jiang Wen's handwritten invitation letter was naturally not really sent to the mail system, but by the staff by plane and sent to Lu Lin, who was filming in Hengdian.
After receiving the invitation, Lu Lin immediately opened it, and saw that the letter revealed between the lines that "today's heroes, only the king and the ear", couldn't help laughing, and said to the little assistant who sent the letter: "You go back and tell Director Jiang that on the day of the premiere, I will definitely go over to cheer!"
The one got the right word, and went back to "restore his life" without mentioning it. The executive director next to Lu Lin said, "How did the crew arrange that day?"
Lu Lin said: "It's business as usual, arrange some scenes that are not heavy, I have to think it's not good when I come back, and then I will make up again!"
In fact, it was because he remembered that due to censorship issues in "One Step Away", the world premiere celebration and viewing of the film on the 8th would be postponed. The IMAX screen, which cost a lot of money to build, had to stand up in the venue of the Beijing Olympic Sports Center for a week, and the rent of the venue was huge.
said that this day was December 6, and "Nuwa Mends the Sky" reported another 250 million on the 5th, and 560 million in two days of release, which not only set a new record, but also stimulated the sensitive nerves of industry insiders.
The two days are nearly 600 million, and the 6th and 7th are Saturdays and Sundays, and there is no billion in this first week, but it must be over 900 million. Nearly a billion in the first week, which was unimaginable before!
In addition to the mainland market, overseas box office is also a frequent success. Especially in places like Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia that are influenced by the great Chinese culture, the legend of "Nuwa mends the sky" is somewhat known, and with "Houyi Shooting the Sun" as the foundation, the box office is a mess.
In South Korea, many people came to Lu Lin's name and the promotion of the sequel to "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun". After seeing the shocking scenes such as "Pangu opening the sky", the backbone of Buzhou Mountain, the Gonggong Zhurong War, the Buzhou Mountain was crashed and destroyed, the water of the Tianhe River flowed to the world, and the stone refining made up for the sky, I was shocked to no, no, no, on the verge of tears and diabetes collapse.
The first day of the release reached 530,000 people, far exceeding the 182,000 of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", reflecting the advantages of the series of films.
Many Hollywood series of movies initially landed in the mainland market and sold very ordinarily, but as time went by, fans and word-of-mouth rose, and one part of the series began to hit the box office.
Such as "Fast and Furious 5", 250 million. "Super 6", 413 million. By the time of "Furious 7", he won 400 million in one day.
However, many netizens analyzed that the reason why "Nuwa Mends the Sky" can achieve such excellent box office results in South Korea is that the special effects scene is shocking. The main thing is that they think that Nuwa is also Korean!
Nichizen, in this country rich in anime movies and romantic action movies, ranks first in film history with "Spirited Away", 30.8 billion yen. "Avatar", which swept the world, can only be subordinated to it, with 15.6 billion.
Therefore, special effects blockbusters like "Nuwa Mending the Sky" are at most treated the same as Hollywood blockbusters, and it is extremely difficult to win the box office record championship in the Japanese benzene film market.
"Nuwa Mends the Sky" was 472 million yen on the first day of its release in Japan, surpassing the 3.67 of "Houyi Shooting the Sun", which is considered a steady increase.
However, because Nuwa's ending was to be the first to become holy, instead of charging to the heavenly demon gods alone and dying like Hou Yi. The reputation of "Nuwa Mending the Sky" in Japan is far inferior to that of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", and the high box office only accounts for the advantage of the series of movies.
On some film and television forums in Japan, many people criticized "Nuwa Mending the Sky", thinking that Lu Lin did not handle the ending of the movie well. If Nuwa is allowed to die after making up for the sky, the artistry of the whole movie will rise to an unprecedented height.
But to make a festive and joyful finale for the box office is really tarnishing art. It can be seen that Lu Linjun is just a director of commercial films, and he can't become a master!
There are even some fanatical fans who found the contact information of Longlin Pictures on the Internet and sent an email to persuade Lu Lin not to always indulge in high box office, but to make the kind of film that is not only visually shocking, but also touches the heart. After letting Lu Lin know, he couldn't cry or laugh.
As for the Southeast Asian market, in addition to being quite resistant to films like "Wolf Warrior" that can show China's military power. For special effects blockbusters such as "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" and "Nuwa Mending the Sky" involving Chinese mythological stories, there is no resistance at all. The level of love has surpassed that of Hollywood movies.
Hanoi, Bangkok, Yangon, Jakarta, Singapore...... , theaters in major cities are crowded with audiences who come to watch "Nuwa Mending the Sky". Although the population of each country is small, the box office potential of the entire Southeast Asia region combined is also not to be underestimated.
The North American market seems to have continued the decline of the worst summer season, and the end of 2014 was also a little weak. "Nuwa Mends the Sky", which was released one day later than the mainland and was released on December 5, opened 4,010 theaters, and won $33.6 million on the day of its release, and finally won $90 million in the first three days of the weekend.
Although it is far less than the three-day 200 million of "Avengers" and the three-day 100 million of "Transformers 4", it is still more than the first weekend of "Houyi Shooting the Sun" of 88.42 million US dollars.
In Warner's parlance, Longlin Pictures' special effects blockbuster is a stand-up in the North American market. However, it is still difficult for the box office to have more room for growth.
Just like Hollywood movies in China, the first reaction of many people is that they don't want to watch it, and there are many films that have super strong opening results and lack stamina.
The best way for Lu Lin's film to break the box office "canopy" in the North American market is to participate in the Oscar competition, if it can be shortlisted or awarded, it will be a very significant increase in the box office of the movie.
In film markets such as Europe, Australia and South America, the box office performance is relatively average. After all, "Saint", "Great Dao", "Hongmeng Purple Qi" and the like are relatively difficult to understand, but fortunately, the special effects scenes are outstanding.
As a result, foreigners in these countries completely regard "Nuwa Mending the Sky" as a blockbuster film of the catastrophe of the destruction of the world with stories such as "Noah's Ark".
The plot they understand is that the creator god created this world, and he is actually exhausted to death (full of superiority). At this time, the king of the gods (Hongjun) summoned all the gods and asked them to practice hard and reach his level as soon as possible, so that they could create the world at will.
Then the goddess of the earth (Nuwa) made humans out of clay, and at this time humans were very miserable, and the "Prometheus" (Zhu Rong) in this movie taught humans to use fire, although they were not punished by the king of the gods (Hongjun), but they were hated by the god of water.
Then the two gods fought over the question of whether or not to teach humans to make fire, and the water god was furious, and actually crashed into Optimus Prime, causing a flood to destroy the world.
There is no Noah's Ark in this world, and the goddess of the earth cannot bear the suffering of human beings, while beating away the devil (Styx) who is making trouble, while mending the heavens!
The king of the gods (Hongjun) thanked the goddess of the earth (Nuwa) for her merits and elevated her to the rank of god-king. The rest of the gods (Sanqing, Jieyin, and Zhun Ti) also took credit (establishing religions, making great wishes) when they reported, and became the ...... god kings together.
Such a plot synopsis has been sorted out and written into movie websites in Europe, Australia and other countries, and there is no one who has the ability to understand it!
