Chapter 187: Returning to China and "People in Embarrassment" (5/5)

Hollywood-style is realistic!

If normal people were asked to evaluate "WALL-E" and "Cars", most people would definitely choose "WALL-E"!

But if Zhang Junsheng was given a choice, he would also choose to develop "Cars" instead of "Wall-E"...

Since the release of "Cars" in 2006, as of the release of "Cars 2" in 2011, the revenue of derivatives has reached $10 billion, and it maintains $2 billion in derivatives sales revenue every year.

It is the super-profitable project in the Disney system, second only to "Star Wars", leaving other Pixar movies far behind. According to the Wall Street Journal, the spin-off revenue of the two "Cars" is more than 5 times its global box office!

Pixar has never shied away from incorporating coming-of-age themes into films, such as the fear of death in Toy Story 3, the anxiety of parents in Finding Nemo, or the destruction of the environment in Wall-E.

In fact, as early as 2004, the animated film company explored the "challenges" faced by middle-aged people through the movie "The Incredibles".

A film that can combine love, wasteland, sci-fi, animation, adventure and other elements together without a sense of disobedience!

In 2012, Disney even opened a racing park at California Adventure Park to further explore the commercial potential of Cars...

After the new century, in addition to Toy Story and Pirates of the Caribbean, "Cars" has such treatment!

In comparison, the periphery of "Robot Wall-E" is very miserable, one year after its release, the peripheral income has not reached 200 million US dollars...

……

After entering March, "Avatar" is still raging in the Chinese film industry...

A lot has happened in the mainland film industry during this time!

In January, "Confucius" was promoted in a high-profile manner, and it was understandable to promote his own films, but the director and a group of professional gunmen began to stomp on "Avatar" while blowing "Confucius", trying to equate the movie "Confucius" with the Sage Confucius.

It seems that if you don't watch "Confucius", you are not patriotic, and if you watch "Avatar", you are betraying the country, but the result is that everyone does not eat this set at all, but becomes more and more disgusted with "Confucius".

The key general bureau is also supporting "Confucius"...

In the past few years, Shangfeng has been vigorously promoting the Confucius Academy, and the movie "Confucius" is politically correct!

hinted through different channels that everyone should lower the schedule of "Avatar"...

As a result, netizens spontaneously began to boycott "Confucius", and the online media also played a policy to support "Avatar", and the theater was even more unhappy, Yuehua Cinema decided to re-release "The Wind" after "Avatar 2D" was offline, and did not give "Confucius" more films to protest...

Then, the attendance rate of the premiere of "Confucius" was unimaginably low - the box office on the first day was less than 4 million...

In order to clean up the mess, I had to urgently notify theaters without 3D that they could continue to release "Avatar 2D", but the prime time must be given to "Confucius", and the theater immediately revised the film scheduling plan after receiving the notice, "Avatar 2D Version" was resurrected, as for "Confucius", except for the golden field of some theaters in China Film, most of the theaters, such as Yuehua Cinemas, are not arranged at all...

You're a bad movie!

Every nation has its own heroes or soul-like characters, in fact, the focus of a theme like "Confucius" should not be on the box office, but should strive to make Confucius into a thick historical film like "The Biography of Gandhi", and tap the thoughts of the master, so as to be valuable.

The producer focuses on the box office, so he shouldn't choose such a theme. This shows that not only the audience is impetuous, but also the director and the film company!

This is a fact, at the beginning, when it was not sure that "Confucius" could be a big hit, the theater directly gave up all the screens - it has nothing to do with "Confucius", who believes who is stupid!

At that time, Yuehua fed back the news that the weekly box office potential of "Avatar 2D" was still 8 million, and it was promoted to all theaters, that is, 60 million, normal market competition, who would want to bet on a new film with an unknown future?

In February, "Jin Yiwei", "Seventy-two Tenants", "Su Qier", "Happy Events in the Flower Field 2010", "Big Soldier and Little General" and a bunch of Chinese movies that gathered big stars were released, trying to block "Avatar", but it was useless...

"Su Qier" invested 20 million US dollars, and the domestic box office did not even receive 50 million, only 48.97 million...

This failure made Anle Film and Television directly terminate the three-film contract with Zhao Wenzhuo - would rather pay liquidated damages than cooperate with him again!

As for Zhao Wenzhuo, a kung fu superstar, Zhang Junsheng didn't bother to take care of him...

A person who posts 'Wu Jing is disabled and quits "Wolf Warrior 3", and Zhao Wenzhuo will play Leng Feng' all day long, how can it be White Lotus?

Lack of ability, but also like to do, I heard that he has been involved in a fraud case recently, good luck to him!

……

"Avatar" is also a foreign language film no matter how you say it, and you directly raised the box office record by 1 billion, the General Administration of this thing will definitely not be able to stand it!

So, the lower gear is for sure!

"People in Embarrassment" is a good time.

Coupled with Zhang Junsheng's reputation as the Oscar-winning director, there is no need to publicize it, and the film schedule on the first day of release is as high as 42% - mainly in the same period, except for "Future Police", there are no decent opponents!

By the way, when Wang Jing was promoting "Future Police", he said very confidently, 'Andy Lau alone is worth 80 million box office!'

What does this movie say...

It's bad, it's so bad that it explodes, no movie can make people embarrassed from the beginning to the end, if there is, it must be "Ace Teases Ace" or "Tang Bohu Rushes to the Clouds"...

Wang Jing is really a talent!

As soon as "Future Police" came out, it immediately refreshed the champion of this year's bad movie list, and it was so bad that no one did it...

On the first day of the release of "People in Embarrassment", Zhang Junsheng had not returned to China yet, and was rushing to China by plane, with a box office of 29 million on the first day, although he won the first-day championship, but this result is not too ideal, at least compared with Zhang Junsheng's previous works...

But word of mouth exploded!

With the development of the domestic film market, small and medium-cost comedy movies like "People in Embarrassment", no matter how they are promoted, whether they can set off a movie-watching boom depends on the audience's word of mouth!

That is, word of mouth!

That night, there were a lot of comments on the Internet about "People in Embarrassment", which were basically praise.

"It's very good, the script is solid, the characters are very dramatic, domestic films have to work so hard, and they won't be so impetuous! I announce, from today onwards, I will be a fan of Zhang Junsheng, and I will watch every one of his movies!"

"Facts have proved that playing genre films and normal narratives, Zhang Junsheng can still be down-to-earth, and he will never forget the part where Wang Baoqiang drank milk when he got on the plane... Haha..."

"What conditions, still play naked sleep!"

The media evaluation has not yet come out, at nine o'clock in the evening, the plane from Los Angeles landed at the capital airport, Zhang Junsheng just got off the plane, and then was ambushed by a group of reporters in the parking lot to arrive...
