Chapter 475: The Essence of Chinese Culture
On the seventh day, there was no trace of "Alien" in domestic theaters, and the film scheduling rate of "Earth Defense War" quietly increased to 75% under various scoldings.
On the seventh day, the domestic box office statistics were released, and although the film scheduling rate of "Earth Defense" increased, the box office on the seventh day fell from 14 million on the sixth day to 11 million, and the box office of "Alien" was still zero.
On the seventh day, the director of "Earth Defense War" was gouged out by the investor, and the news that the investor of "Earth Defense War" was killed and injured by the police who attacked was exposed, and public opinion at home and abroad was in an uproar.
The lively and lively investment of 1.5 billion yuan in "Earth Defense War" finally became a tragedy and scandal that shocked the whole country and the world. A leader of a certain chrysanthemum who led the filming of "Earth Defense War" behind the scenes was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and it is said that he was suspected of major economic crimes in the financing process, film scheduling, and box office operation of "Earth Defense War".
After preliminary investigation, "Earth Defense War" stole the box office of "Alien", and "Alien" was completely removed from the shelves in domestic theaters, all of which are related to this leader.
"No wonder "Earth Defense" dares to blatantly steal the box office like that! It turns out that there is someone behind it!"
""Alien" was suppressed because it affected the film schedule and box office of "Earth Defense", right?"
"Is it possible to release "Alien" in China now?"
"This matter can't be left at that, I strongly demand that the information of the mentally disturbed student and the student's parents be released, and see if there is really such a person!
"Shouldn't a certain chrysanthemum compensate for the loss of the box office of "Alien" in the past few days?"
"Causing such huge property losses and casualties, as well as such a bad international impact, a certain Ju can't just fool the past this time!"
After netizens heard the news, they continued to scold on the Internet.
On the seventh day, "Alien" dominated the European and American markets, and the film scheduling rate rose from 59 percent on the sixth day to 63 percent! This is already the highest film scheduling rate that European and American theaters can achieve in order to ensure that other films released at the same time, refreshing the record of the highest film scheduling rate of all films in the European and American markets in the past 20 years, and also refreshing the record of Chinese films in European and American theaters!
"Alien" is now more than just a Chinese film, it completely transcends national borders, and has become a cultural phenomenon that the entire human world explores together in terms of science fantasy in contact with aliens.
"Alien" earned $184 million on the seventh day of the European and American markets, surpassing the $167 million on the sixth day!
The highest single-week box office record of European and American cinemas is 353 million yuan, the second highest record is 325 million, the third highest record is 297 million, and the fourth highest record is 274 million, and the final weekly box office of "Alien" in European and American cinemas is 559 million!
What is a miracle? This is a miracle!
……
On the eighth day, under the strong pressure of public opinion and the coordination of the Ministry of Culture, "Alien" was deleted again, and all the scenes of the alien breaking out of the body and attacking humans several times were deleted, so that it could be re-released in China.
Although it was released in a castrated version, because it was banned before and then released, and because a certain chrysanthemum was rectifying internally, he had no time to manage the scheduling rate of local theaters, resulting in the scheduling rate of "Alien" in domestic theaters on the eighth day adjusted by the market to reach 90%!
Before "Alien" was banned, the domestic box office on the fifth day was 189 million, and after being banned for two days, after it was released on the eighth day, the domestic box office had a blowout, and the single-day box office reached 311 million!
According to this trend, "Alien" is just around the corner to create the highest box office record in China and even the highest box office record in the world! You must know that European and American theaters all decide to schedule films based on the performance of the film, and if "Alien" can last for a few months and have enough box office, there will even be a situation where it will be removed from the shelves after a few months, and no one dares to say what kind of miracle "Alien" will create at that time.
Because, there is no precedent.
Audiences all over the world who have watched "Alien" are most concerned about when "Alien 2" will be released, but Wang Qian and the crew of "Alien" have never made any statement on this, just as gamers are concerned about when "Grand Theft Auto" will come out of the second generation.
Anyway, according to convention, it will be at least a year or two years before a movie is released for the second part, and as for the second generation of a game, it will generally take three or five years later.
This is simply a kind of torment for the audience and players! Who made Wang Qian's game so fun and the movie so good-looking? Did God send him to the world to torment the players and the audience?
The players and the audience were suffering, but Wang Qian was extremely leisurely at this time.
No, he was actually invited by one of the biggest opponents, Yangshi, to be a guest and participate in the "Chinese Culture Symposium" program before the Spring Festival Gala.
The program invited some guests related to Chinese culture, history professors at universities, cultural history research scholars, and so on. Wang Qian's "Alien" represents the great success of Chinese film and culture in the Western world, and it is simply unreasonable for this kind of Chinese cultural symposium program not to invite celebrities like Wang Qian.
Of course, this is not the real reason why Wang Qian can participate in the show.
Wang Qian was able to participate in this program because of the activities behind the Ministry of Culture's Ma Wenxuan, you must know that the Ministry of Culture also has a certain influence in Yangshi, and Wang Qian actually participated as a representative of the Ministry of Culture.
A certain Ju strictly forbade Wang Qian to appear on TV, but because of the anxiety about "Earth Defense War", coupled with Wang Qian's current influence and the influence of the Ministry of Culture in Yangshi, he was unable to stop the program specially arranged by the Ministry of Culture in time.
The program mainly discussed and talked about the history and future of Chinese culture, and took the form of speeches and debates, and 500 viewers who were more interested in this aspect participated in the live recording.
Wang Qian is willing to come over to participate in this program, mainly to give Ma Wenxuan face, this time "Alien" can be released in domestic theaters, and the resumption of the broadcast after being banned is the result of Ma Wenxuan's efforts; in addition, isn't a certain Ju strictly forbidden to appear on TV? As long as he can be on TV, he will slap a certain Ju in the face, and Wang Qian will certainly not miss this kind of opportunity.
The hosts of the "Chinese Culture Symposium" program are all relatively senior, and they have a lukewarm attitude towards Wang Qian, who doesn't like it, and they don't take the initiative to ask Wang Qian questions.
However, Wang Qian didn't speak, which didn't mean that the other guests would let him go.
For example, Chen Yunhong, a professor at Shaojing University who studies ancient Chinese culture, especially who is famous for speaking "Journey to the West" on the Yangshi Culture Channel, took the initiative to provoke Wang Qian.
In this life, there are no ancient four famous books, no complete "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", no "Dream of Red Mansions", but there are complete "Journey to the West" and "Water Margin", and the content is exactly the same as the original world.
"Journey to the West" has become a representative of Chinese culture in this life, and Chen Yunhong is famous for his research and interpretation of "Journey to the West", and of course he has become a well-known figure in the Chinese cultural circle.
"Young people nowadays! For example, the one sitting across from me is surnamed Wang, right? I heard that a movie was made to spread Chinese culture to the Western world, but I watched the movie, and after watching it for five minutes, I couldn't watch it anymore! I really didn't understand how that movie spread Chinese culture. What is our Chinese culture? A spaceship with the Chinese flag painted on its shell and the words "WeChat" written on it is Chinese culture?"
"Young people nowadays! They are too impetuous! They don't have any background in Chinese culture at all, so they talk about Chinese culture in vain, and they want to export it to the outside world! In my opinion, what kind of "Alien" is used to export Chinese culture, and this whole thing is a joke! What is the real culture of China? Is it "Journey to the West"! The question is, this young man surnamed Wang, do you understand "Journey to the West"? If you don't understand "Journey to the West," Chen Yunhong said with a spit on his face.
The audience, the host, and other guests looked at Wang Qian together, he was fighting Wang! Chen Yunhong bombarded him and his works in front of him, he should be angry and angry, right?
"Professor Chen, I heard that you have studied "Journey to the West" very thoroughly, and you are the first person in Huaguo to study "Journey to the West" and Western studies?" Wang Qian didn't look angry, just looked at Chen Yunhong lightly.
"Shi is not talented, he is fifty-eight years old this year, and since he was three years old, he has developed a strong interest in the traditional ancient culture of China, and has devoted his life to this book and related legends. Chen Yunhong had a very dragged expression, the kind of drag that has reached the pinnacle in a certain aspect and is only available to grandmaster-level figures.
"Oh, then I have a question about "Journey to the West", and I also ask Professor Chen to give me advice. Wang Qian continued.
"Please. Chen Yunhong could see that Wang Qian wanted to fight back, but as long as it was about "Journey to the West", he didn't have anything to worry about at all, "Journey to the West" was his profession and what he was most proud of in life.
The ancient swordsman sharpened his face for ten years, Chen Yunhong studied "Journey to the West" for half a century, and sharpened a sword in fifty years.
The audience and other guests were also a little strange, Wang Qian actually wanted to PK with Professor Chen on "Journey to the West", this is indeed looking for death! Everyone knows that the person who knows "Journey to the West" best in Huaguo is none other than Professor Chen!
