Chapter 179: Repercussions from all sides
How powerful is Sony?
Although it is not as exaggerated as it is all over the world, there are traces of Sony in major countries.
Music is a must-have entertainment element in almost every city.
Wherever there are many people and music, Sony goes.
Sony even has its own audio-visual stores or cooperative audio-visual stores.
And what is the most important medium of music and film development now? CDs and VCDs.
All three of these are actually discs.
And who else is more professional than Sony in this regard?
Don't look at movies and music seem to be two different fields, although movies are unique products of cinema.
But the screening time in the cinema is limited, the short half a month is a month, and the long one is only two months at most, so some people can't see it in a month or two, what should I do?
So, the emergence of VCD solves this problem.
When the early VCD appeared, the image quality that could be carried was actually not high, probably equal to the SD version in our later video, and the capacity that could be carried was only a few hundred M, but in this era, it still played a very good role.
At least there is an option for families who missed the cinema screening or want to relive the movie.
Of course, if in a few years, Sony's DVD appeared, that would be when home theater really rose.
Support movie HD version of DVD, easy even up to ten times that of VCD, can support multi-language, multi-audio tracks.
But even now, the sales composition of a movie, the income of VCD is not low, and it would be stupid to give up cooperation.
At this moment, Sony has taken the distribution rights, the box office share of the movie, and the sales share of VCD, which is a huge benefit, so that the power of Sony's channel can be fully used.
Moreover, the media reporters called by Sony are either Sony's mouthpieces or cooperative and friendly newspapers, so it is inevitable that a large number of positive reviews will appear, and this method will be used by other film producers and distributors, in fact, it is necessary to wait until the box office comes out in the first week.
"So, everything just waited for the box office to come out in the first week. Li Fangcheng said with a hint of happiness and satisfaction: "In September, nothing major happened in the whole market, the biggest obstacle was the host of Sega, and now Sega doesn't know why it has been postponed, but it is our biggest opportunity, accumulation, I am looking forward to the box office in the first week." ”
"It shouldn't be long, I hope there won't be any movies competing with us in the near future, otherwise ......," Ping Xiangtong said as she leaned back in her chair.
"At this time, even if there are movies competing with us, it is not a big problem. Li Fangcheng shook his head and said.
Rain Man, this year's award-winning Oscar-winning movie, has not yet been released, and the impact on his own movie will not be so big.
Rain Man was released in December, and the timing was staggered with Li Fangcheng's release of the movie.
Soon, the box office of the first week came out, and the box office of the first week, $12.72 million, is not the top box office data, but it is also very good, especially for an emerging company.
And the box office of Huaxia is 3.91 million ...... Renminbi.
Of course, Li Fangcheng was not disappointed.
Because at this moment, the newspapers in China are reporting on this movie.
Some people approve of it, and some people support it.
Among them, just like some brick families called beasts in the previous life, some people even brushed their sleeves away as soon as they saw the beginning.
No matter how you look at the image of the Monkey King, there is a huge difference between the image of the Monkey King, with a horse face, a short body, and any emotional disputes, and the screenwriter is simply an outsider! Cartoons are originally a false form, and they are used to fabricate a demonic and crooked Monkey King, which is simply nonsense! Journey to the West is the quintessence of the country! It is not a work that can be spoiled at will! I strongly demand a boycott of this movie!" A well-known traditional literary brick artist in China stood up and lashed out.
"It's just a clown jumping off the beam, saying it's a movie, but I heard that it's actually just a cartoon, with no nutritional value, how can it be compared with our Journey to the West? What kind of legend of the Great Sage, the ignorant are fearless, watching such a movie is tantamount to wasting time!" This is the voice of another writer of the older generation.
Many people don't know much about it, but these comments appear in the newspapers, which undoubtedly has a huge impact.
Huaxia is not like other countries now, and it is almost impossible to find big screens hanging in big shopping malls.
In other words, everyone's understanding of this movie stays on posters, outdoor and other advertisements.
And in this era, if the brick family is called a beast, it is almost the same as the truth.
The words spoken by scholars, especially those of great repute, almost represent a truth in a region or even a large area.
At this time, many viewers who were originally looking forward to the movie because of the TV series gave up going to the cinema.
Although some well-known film critics praised it hype: "This is a brand-new Journey to the West, a Journey to the West that is better than the blue - The Legend of the Great Sage, the original Journey to the West, can be said to be an inspirational mythological story that is positive and overcomes all difficulties." Of course, this is very well written, and the TV series is also a classic, but the legend of the Great Sage, although it is an animated film, is more like a mythological and philosophical movie full of thought, and on the basis of the original, it enriches the characters in the original book. This is a very good innovation and breakthrough, which can be called the first cartoon in China. ”
"In recent years, it is the only cartoon suitable for all ages and suitable for all ages. The image of Monkey King, in this movie, is completely a new acting, I strongly want to know the follow-up plot, and I hope to launch the second part as soon as possible!"
However, most people in this era still believe that they have something rather than believe it.
So most of the people who were originally interested were directly extinguished.
With a box office of 3.91 million, Rao is Li Fangcheng has long been mentally prepared, and when he saw this number, he also smiled bitterly!
Even Akio Morita told Li Fangcheng: "There is no market in Huaxia, don't waste your energy." ”
It can be said that even people living in Hong Kong have no way to understand that they will encounter such treatment in China.
Li Fangcheng can understand very well that in this era, there are too many cautious people.
Reform is not something that can be solved with a single sentence, and thinking does not mean that it can be changed.
Otherwise, why now, as soon as the word capital appears, everyone is still secretive.
On the contrary, it is a foreign market, which is very good at the moment!
Kung Fu is one of the words that the West has the most impression of China in the West, even in the following decades.
Li Fangcheng's main focus this time is the concept of immortal art that surpasses kung fu.
Now it seems that the results are good!
