Seven months ago, "Gravity" set a series of records in the Chinese market, becoming the first work in history to achieve $300 million at the box office in a single market outside of North America; seven months later, "Transformers 4" became the second work to achieve such a grand feat, in fact, because of the exchange rate, "Transformers 4" has a lower Chinese yuan box office than "Gravity", but the US dollar box office is higher than the latter.

Similarly, "Interstellar" has also achieved outstanding results in the Chinese market, whether it is the incredible counterattack box office curve, or the continuous and strong posture in the face of strong competitors, all of which are eye-catching and attract countless attention.

It is true that there are many reasons for the huge success of "Interstellar" in the Chinese market: social network frenzy, the Nolan effect, word-of-mouth, etc., but the most important thing is undoubtedly Lanli, from the first moment of arrival in the magic capital, the city and this land are showing the influence and appeal of Lanli in all directions - not to mention the conversion rate of these forces and box office figures, but it is certain that Lanli's popularity is unmatched.

Following "Gravity", "Interstellar" once again swept the super high box office in the Chinese market, ranking first and third respectively in the box office record of the Chinese market, this glory is really eye-catching, excellent performance has continuously created a new high in the box office performance of a single region in the overseas market, and truly left the name of "Lanli-Hall" in the annals of history, across race and gender, beyond age and class, Lanli is rewriting "superstar" The definition of this term, and the last one to have such treatment was a director: James Cameron!

With "Titanic" and "Avatar", James Cameron has left his own mark in the long history of movies, and similarly, with "gravity" and "interstellar", Lan Li is also building his own starlight kingdom - and after that, there are "Jurassic World" and "Rogue One" to look forward to, which also means that Lan Li is writing an unparalleled history.

After the North American market, Lanli has also established its own unique and strong influence in the Chinese market, and the name "Lanli-Hall" has truly had a place, not a movie or a character, it is Lanli himself, and Don Quixote has a place in this land.

Throughout the history of the introduction of foreign language films in the Chinese film market, although Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp and other superstars have super high popularity here, but the only one who really has "box office appeal" is Nicolas Cage, and even Nicolas Cage, his influence is far from top.

Part of the reason is cultural differences, just as it is difficult for films in other languages to achieve excellent results in the North American market, and actors in other languages are difficult to establish box office appeal in the North American market, when films or actors in other languages come to the Chinese market, they also need to face the same problems, and the same situation also objectively exists in the Japanese and Korean markets - the popularity difference caused by cultural differences is unavoidable.

To put it simply, local audiences are still more inclined to choose local actors, and the innate cultural closeness and familiarity brought by daily life are one of the most important components of box office appeal.

In addition, part of the reason is that "film", as an artistic means and cultural composition, has a slightly different position and positioning in the Chinese market, which to some extent still affects the advancement of the film industry, which also makes the market law relatively unstable and uncertain.

Now, the emergence of Lan Li has changed this situation, although only two works have exploded at the box office, and they are not even as stable and reliable as the "Transformers" series, but this is the first time that the audience is willing to go into the cinema for a certain actor, and the box office figures easily set a new high, which is really rare!

Of course, this is just the beginning, no one can be sure whether Lan Li's next work will continue to be a miracle, in this fast-growing emerging film market, there are still too many things to explore and study, and find the right way to develop in the continuous trial and error and change. However, at least now it has a beginning, and "Blue Rite-Hall" has become this beginning, which can also be regarded as a milestone in a sense.

At the beginning, "gravity" created history in the Chinese market, and the reporter interviewed Lan Li for the first time; and this time, after the "Interstellar" achieved excellent results, the reporter interviewed Lan Li for the first time, but the focus on the perspective has changed slightly, not to ask about the feeling of good results at the box office, but to ask about the close connection between Lan Li and Huaxia:

Obviously, the influence of "King Teng's Pavilion Order" is still continuing.

Lan Li responded with a chuckle, "First of all, I must note that I am not a language fanatic, but I do master several languages, in addition to Chinese, I can also recite poetry in German, French and Spanish, Latin may be a little difficult, I am working on it." I learned that many people take poetry recitation so seriously that it has caused unimaginable repercussions, and I can understand that, but my opinion is slightly different. ”

Of course, poetry, like other art forms, is not only the permutation and combination of language, but also the history, culture, and ideas behind the language, which can be used to study the inheritance and habits of a nation, which is undoubtedly the best way to understand a culture. This is the real purpose of my study of language and art, not to learn languages, but to expand the way I see the world. ”

"I received a special gift in the city, the Milan-Kundera Polish version of 'Joke', just like poetry, and I always try to understand those cultures and histories from an artistic point of view, so I don't think it's a special thing. But I also admit that Chinese culture has a long history, and there is always a hint of mystery to the Western world, and in the process of research and exploration, it is really really fascinating. ”

"It is my honor to be able to resonate and bond with the Chinese audience, and it is even more honorable for the film to achieve excellent box office. ”

Lan Li is Lan Li, the shock brought by the surname "Hall" has gradually precipitated, few people will specifically mention the family history of the hereditary aristocracy of Lan Li, in the Internet era of information in the ocean of information, those lively and noisy have become a thing of the past, but from time to time, Lan Li can always show its own profound heritage, so that the general public can feel the shock again and again The continuous surge, can not be dispersed for a long time.

Naturally, the reporter once again threw out the topic of film cooperation -

After Christian Bale starred in "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", this also created the history of Chinese films, which is the first time in history that an Oscar winner has participated in a Chinese film, which has really opened up the situation for the Chinese film market, and has the possibility for Hollywood's top superstars to appear in Chinese movies.

So, what about Lan Li?

Previously, during the "Gravity" propaganda period, Lan Li vetoed the possibility under the pretext of Chinese, but after this propaganda period, things have changed subtly, and the same question has been thrown again, so, what about Lan Li's answer?

"No, I don't think it's a good idea. However, I'll ask Ann if he has any plans to make a Chinese-language film in the near future, and let's discuss the script and characters and see what happens. ”

The tone is gentle but the attitude is resolute, there is not much room for maneuver, obviously, playing on the same stage with that group of traffic students, Lan Li is not interested at all, but Lan Li still mentioned Li / An again, indicating that the attitude is the most important thing, which disappointed the reporter, and the mood couldn't help but get excited - at least, Lan Li didn't cut off all possibilities.

Make up for it, EGOT winner Lan Li starred in a Chinese movie, and the picture is really wonderful. After the media report, the Huaxia market was noisy and lively, and the boiling discussion could not stop at all.

In the Chinese market, the first week of the premiere has not been able to burst out of the expected force, but in the follow-up strong counterattack, the release time in just four weeks still swept 1.8 billion yuan, from the perspective of short-range explosiveness, it is even better than North America.

In addition to North America and China, the market performance of "Interstellar" is also very gratifying.

For overseas markets, Nolan has become synonymous with quality, no matter how well it performs at the box office, word of mouth is always strong, and most importantly, Nolan has given commercial films more qualities, that freshness and uniqueness, which can always bring surprises - at a time when original scripts are becoming more and more scarce, this is undoubtedly very precious, which also makes the box office bottom line of "Nolan Productions" always guaranteed, including Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, etc.

Similarly, for the overseas market, Lan Li has become synonymous with starlight, it seems that as long as you see this name in the list of actors, it is enough to become a reason to enter the cinema, Lan Li's works may be literary and commercial, it is certain that the role and performance are guaranteed, so far, Lan Li's works have always been able to hit the preferences and yearning of specific art lovers, and even have a blind fanaticism and worship, and his appeal is also unparalleled.

Now, the encounter between Nolan and Lan Li, regardless of quality, there must be a group of movie lovers who will enter the cinema as soon as possible to express their support, which also ensures the lower limit of the overseas market;

In a sense, the overseas market is even more exciting than the North American market!
