In the previous life, the box office of "Life of Pi" in the mainland was not particularly good, because although the original work was famous abroad and won the Booker Prize, few people in China knew about it.

Although the movie has Li Yu as a publicity gimmick, the actors are basically unknown. In addition, the producer and distributor of Twentieth Century Fox in the original time and space carried out very little regular publicity in the mainland, and the two domestic blockbusters "1942" and "The King's Feast" were sandwiched back and forth, resulting in not many audiences interested in this movie.

Although the box office rebounded later with word of mouth, it only got a total box office of 570 million yuan in China.

In the same period, the box office was higher than that of North America, but unfortunately domestic theaters were a little short-sighted after all, and they couldn't see any scheduled films after a month of release, and they didn't enjoy the dividends of the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars at all.

The box office in North America was low in the early stage, but it was released from November to March, and the awards season in the middle brought the movie back to life, with a total of $120 million at the North American box office, but 600 million at the global box office.

Although Zhang Chu doesn't know how popular "Youth Pi" is overseas, at least it is really an explosion in China, and it is estimated that it can exceed the original total box office in two days.

The global box office dividend threshold of 500 million US dollars is not a problem at all, it can be easily reached, but the box office dividend of 1% is at the level of millions of dollars!

Now that Zhang Chu has swelled, millions of dollars are not very attractive, and if he is all invested in public relations, there is no problem in winning awards.

"Will Pi eventually have 800 million? Will the Da Vinci Code be stronger then?"

This question lingered in his mind, but in the end he got a negative answer.

Everything has pros and cons, although "The Da Vinci Code" will be more sought after in China after the identity and background of the protagonist is modified by itself, but it will encounter invisible resistance from audiences and fans abroad!

In his previous life, "The Da Vinci Code" starred Oscar winner Tom Hanks, Tom Sr. has countless classic movies, is an out-and-out global superstar, and he is also a person with zero negative news who has a good audience.

The North American box office is 210 million US dollars, and the global box office is 750 million US dollars, which is the second place in the global movie box office list in 2006.

The content of the story was changed by Zhang Chu, and the protagonist was replaced by a Chinese actor, Tony Leung and Tom Hanks' global influence naturally cannot be compared, and the gap is too big.

North America can break 100 million is a victory, mainly depends on the box office revenue in the mainland and Europe.

"If "The Da Vinci Code" is beaten by "Life of Pi", then you won't be able to laugh! I hope the "Lord of the Rings" series can stabilize the box office!"

Since the timelines are all different, even the same movie may have different box offices, let alone the movie has changed so much.

……

When the warm sunlight of late autumn shines on the land of China again, the students in each dormitory building will fish out like ants, filling the quiet campus.

Li Jiahui is a senior this year, and as soon as she walked out of the dormitory building, she saw Di Zhe standing on the side of the road playing with her mobile phone, so she walked straight over, took his hand and said, "My dear, why are you so fascinated?"

"I was reading a film review, and a writer named Ma Boyong wrote an article about "Life of Pi", which was terrifying. Daughter-in-law, let's go watch this movie tonight, and then go to open the room after watching it. ”

Di Zhe has not read the book "Youth School", but he saw Prince Ma's film review in advance, and it turns out that a movie can have such a profound interpretation and understanding.

If you don't go to the cinema, it's really a lifelong regret!

It's normal for the student party to go on a date and watch a movie, Li Jiahui took his hand and walked towards the cafeteria, "This movie seems to be quite popular, and several of my roommates are also discussing that they will watch it in the afternoon." What kind of story is it telling?"

"It seems to be a story of a boy and a tiger drifting on the sea for dozens of days, directed by Li Yu, and Hu Ge also participated. ”

Di Zhe began to tempt his daughter-in-law, he didn't want to watch any chick movies.

"Drifting with a tiger? If you don't get eaten, maybe it's a fairy tale, and then it's not interesting for people and tigers to live in harmony and get through difficulties together, so it's better to sing!"

Li Jiahui deliberately raised the bar, although she was a little moved in her heart, but she was annoyed that her boyfriend only cared about looking at her phone all the way, ignoring herself at all, and wasting thirty minutes to put on makeup in vain.

"Why, it's such an interesting movie. You can sing with your roommates on Saturdays, and I only play on my phone every time I go. If you don't watch it tonight, then I'll go with my friends. ”

I really don't know how Di Zhe got off the list.

It is estimated that the face is so handsome that the girls want to pounce one after another!

Di Zhe found that his girlfriend didn't reply, so he handed over his mobile phone to himself: "Look, this movie had a box office of 41 million last night, and now the total box office has exceeded 100 million." The CGV Cinema next to our school is almost full, so if you don't choose a seat early, you have to sit at the front. ”

"Oh my God, that's too hot, isn't it? CGV can pop up so many people?"

This CGV is a newly opened theater, and the people who usually go to the movies are basically students in the university town, and even popular movies have only one-fifth or one-third of the attendance, and now there are no more vacancies in the prime viewing area!

"Of course, you don't look at how high the evaluation of this movie is, Douban Movie started with 9.5 points, and there has not been such a strong film for many years, even if it is on IMDB, it has a score of 9.2, it is definitely a masterpiece!"

Di Zhe is particularly excited, although this is a Hollywood movie, but from the production team has Chinese blood, the director, actors, screenwriters, and original works are all Chinese, and the blood is extremely pure.

is not only highly rated professionally, but also has an audience score of 9.8 for Maoyan movies and Taopiaopiao!

This means that the box office trend of the film will be very magical, and it has been on par with the record of audience ratings, which may have an anti-sky effect!

With such a high reputation and strong publicity, it is by no means difficult for the box office to soar.

Even if these scores will fall down after the increase in the number of moviegoers in the later stage, they will not plummet, and may be able to stabilize above the Top250 of Douban and IMDB.

From the birth of movies to the present, there have been endless good films every year, but the works on the Top250 list are relatively fixed and rarely change.

This is the real king of word-of-mouth, and it is not something that one or two fans can brush up, but it needs to be judged by the majority of fans.

Some niche movies cannot be on the list even if they have a score of 9 points, but the number of reviews is not large.

It's not that Life of Pi has the potential to become a classic, but that it's already a classic!
