The global box office revenue of the Chinese film "Alien" is close to 1.8 billion yuan, and judging from the experience of industry insiders and the rising momentum, the overall box office revenue in the future is likely to exceed 10 billion yuan, or even higher, and enter the top 20 of the highest box office in history!

"Alien" has not only become a phenomenal product in the Chinese film industry, but also a hot topic in Hollywood.

A large number of Chinese media were shocked by the huge box office revenue of "Alien" in the global market, and some of the comments inevitably had a 'sour grapes' mentality, classifying it as 'the psychology of hunting for Wang Qian, a public enemy of the West'. But more reviews believe that the success of a movie is not so simple, and the hunting psychology cannot support such a high box office, and the score given by European and American movie rating websites to "Alien" faithfully reflects the audience's feelings about this movie, which is obviously far more than many blockbusters in the same period.

"Variety", the largest entertainment and culture magazine in the United States, published an article on its official website saying that the miracle created by "Alien" should be treated more fairly.

Wang Qian is an alternative, he uses an extraordinary suspense and thriller to tell a science fiction movie, and successfully creates an image of a new type of horror monster alien that impresses the audience. ”

"Variety" also commented: "The biggest difference this time is that the hull of Wang Qian's spaceship is printed with the flag of China, and at the same time, the heroine played by Tang Jing is no longer a blonde white man, but a pure black-eyed yellow person, the problem is that she has also won the recognition of all Western audiences." ”

You must know that Tang Jing has never acted in a movie in China, she is actually a singer, which makes us have to admire Wang Qian's directing skills. ”

has been mixed in the Chinese Film and Television City as a trick, this time in "Alien" in the black actor Cleaver, the white actor Grillo is now the hottest figures in the Western world, originally unknown and even ran to the Chinese Film and Television City to make a living, suddenly received a large number of performance contracts from the famous director of Hollywood.

In an exclusive interview with reporters, Cleaver said: "This is a cultural export from China, but it is not the kind of 'propaganda indoctrination', but a reminder to the world film industry of director Wang Qian's deep understanding of film...... If only these judges could evaluate the film fairly and impartially. ”

An official media in China published an article: Why is "Alien" the goal of domestic films going global?

Within five days of its release, the global box office of "Alien" was close to 1.8 billion yuan, which has set a record in the Chinese film industry, and it is also an ironclad thing to reach the top of the global box office champion of Chinese films. No matter what number the box office of "Alien" is finally fixed, the sci-fi thriller-style "Alien" has refreshed the high point of the industry, and has also put the film's writing of the story of China in a new context.

Decoding "Alien", we must not be able to get around the audio-visual language of its blockbuster. The grand cosmic starry sky scenes, realistic special effects, wonderful editing, unexpected alien monsters, and suspenseful thriller plots have formed an industrial level comparable to the blockbusters of Hollywood.

Compared with another big production in the same period, there is no shortage of these elements, but why is "Alien" the only success in the European and American markets?

We have to see that no matter how close to the appearance of Haolaiwu, "Alien" still portrays the soul of the main theme of China. "Alien" has created several atypical images of ordinary Chinese people, some of whom emphasize righteousness and some of whom emphasize discipline, and they also have different results.

Although the story can still be perfected and the details can be polished, this film still uses thriller and suspense to hit the audience's heartstrings, allowing the audience to realize the vastness of the universe, the insignificance of human beings, and the risk of extraterrestrial contact through this film.

The hit screening of "Alien" enlightens us that the world rewards serious people, and making a good movie about Chinese culture is not a matter of using the banner of Chinese culture to make everything right, and the correct way to open it is still to make it with heart.

Cinema is the art of dreaming. The real world is like a vast ocean, filmmakers use the lens to build dams and raise fish, and the inside and outside of this dream are connected.

"Alien" is like a stepping stone, testing the depth of the Chinese film market, and once again verifying the fate of Chinese films that are connected with the audience and the times. It shows that living in the era of the rise of China, we have no shortage of people who can shoot blockbuster films, but what we lack is wonderful stories and the ability to tell wonderful stories.

At all times, the human need for stories is insatiable. And in this era of information explosion, the production of stories often runs ahead of values and ideas. But we still don't give up and look for emotion and strength on the big screen.

A world-renowned aesthete once likened cinema to a 'worldview'. This big screen is not only a chicken soup for the soul that soothes emotions, a kaleidoscope of social history, but also an 'ambassador in an iron box', the face of the nation-state. At the end of the day, it's both art and life.

Yes, the tentacles of the film are ultimately directed at people. Whether it is a hero or an ordinary person, whether it is noble or ordinary, whether it is singing or burning emotionally, they are all part of the writing of the 'story of China', and they all look forward to the promise of a bright future for us.

The success of "Alien" in the European and American markets can be said to be an inspiration for the entire Chinese film industry.

Now, what we are most looking forward to is, on the sixth day of the release of "Alien", what kind of miracle can be created at the domestic box office and the European and American box office?

How far can it go, and how many surprises will it bring us?

……

Just when the domestic and foreign media were unanimously optimistic about the future box office of "Alien", an incident happened suddenly, shocking the eyeballs of all places.

Bare Swollen Ju issued an article, asking theaters across the country to remove "Alien" from the shelves.

The reason is that a large number of parents of students have complained that the plot of "Alien" is too terrifying and bloody, which has caused great mental stimulation and harm to teenagers.

One parent even claimed that his son, who was in high school, has now gone insane and is being treated in a psychiatric hospital because he watched "Alien", and he will consider suing the crew of "Alien" in court for high claims in the future. In response to public opinion, the bare swollen chrysanthemum decided to remove "Alien" from the shelves, and all theaters must implement it immediately, otherwise it will be shut down.

Originally, "Alien", which had the potential to create history at the global box office and reach the level of 10 billion, was suddenly locked at 429 million by an order from the bloated chrysanthemum.

Sure enough, it was a fight between the gods and the people, and the Ministry of Culture just ordered "Earth Defense" to stop "Earth Defense" from continuing to steal the box office of "Alien", but the bare swollen chrysanthemum was a blow to the bottom of the kettle, and directly knocked out "Alien"!

"Alien" is missing, and other domestic films in the same period have deliberately avoided "Earth Defense War" and "Alien", and the original film scheduling rate has been reduced to less than 10% on the fifth day by market laws, and the film scheduling rate suddenly increased to 70% on the sixth day!

Many viewers who wanted to watch "Alien" in the theater got a notice that "Alien" had been forcibly removed from the shelves by the bare swollen chrysanthemum, and couldn't help but be disappointed.

But the bare swollen chrysanthemum is blind to this, it has always been this style. When it needs public opinion, it only needs to find a few so-called 'student parents', who represent all the Chinese people and all justice, and they are simply omnipotent.

Although with the help of the bare and swollen chrysanthemum, "Earth Defense" once again got a 70% film schedule rate in domestic theaters on the sixth day, the audience didn't buy it at all, resulting in a large number of theaters being vacant. But these vacant theaters are strangely sold with one or two movie tickets.

After the reporter's unannounced visit, a thing was found that made the national audience and netizens even more angry.

There is evidence that some fans who claim to be the star of "Earth Defense" carefully planned the 'lock-up' operation, solicited ticket collectors and ticket buyers on the Internet (the cost is reimbursed by the collector), and also established a fast ticket buying and lock-up channel, and established a division of labor among regional leaders, covering almost the whole country.

According to the statistics of the fan support club, these so-called crazy fans locked nearly 700,000 shows across the country on the sixth day, many of which only had two or three audiences, or even only one audience, and some fans bought tickets not to watch the movie, and some tickets were bought in the first row or corner. There is a fan in Huanghe City who helped "Earth Defense" lock up 27 shows in a theater, but it only cost more than 1,000 yuan.

If you lock the non-popular screenings and buy a very small number of tickets, you can prevent the film schedule from being cancelled by the theater.

The initiator of all this is actually not the stars who starred in it, but Zhu Haibo.

In order to save the pitiful box office of "Earth Defense" and give the bare and swollen chrysanthemum enough reasons not to reduce the film schedule rate of "Earth Defense", Zhu Haibo, at the suggestion of several assistants, persuaded investors who were already on the verge of despair to raise more than 10 million yuan to organize the operation of locking the venue.

Behind Zhu Haibo's triumphant lock-up, the cinema suffered huge losses. The manager of a cinema in Huanghe City said that after the premiere of "Earth Defense", the reputation collapsed, and the attendance rate was less than 5 percent, that is, only more than ten people watched the movie in the theater of about 200 people. According to the average price of 60 yuan for a ticket, a "Alien" can be sold to a full house and sold for more than 12,000 yuan, while "Earth Defense War" is only 600 yuan, and it will lose more than 100,000 yuan a day!
