Chapter 209 Export to Domestic Sales

Universal Cinema has a strong strength and many directors, and can start shooting several movies at the same time.

As a result, fans in North America who like thrillers and horrors are happy.

For three months in a row, there are surprises every month.

The first to be released was the Universal Theater remake of "The Grudge", this one they had the attitude of testing the waters.

After all, there is a huge difference between Eastern and Western tastes, especially in horror movies, the East likes a depressing psychological atmosphere, while the West advocates a stimulating visual experience.

But what they didn't expect was that after its release, "The Grudge" received rave reviews. I probably watched too much ketchup, and I think it's good for this kind of oriental thriller that doesn't have many bloody scenes, but can be creepy.

The North American box office alone exceeded $200 million, which made Universal Theaters immediately shake off its worries.

After "The Grudge", it was followed by the release on Halloween of the low-budget horror film "The Grim Reaper", which was changed from the manga "9999 Ways to Die for Porters".

Although in terms of popularity, "9999 Ways to Die of a Porter" is not comparable to "Curse" at all. But for this movie, Universal Cinemas is full of confidence, because this one is completely adapted to the taste of North American audiences, and they are extremely interested in sensory stimulation.

All kinds of exaggerated accidental deaths keep the audience's nerves highly tense. There is not only the urgency of the East, but also the exciting shots of the West, which perfectly blends the characteristics of Eastern and Western horror and thriller.

Of course, this movie is both word-of-mouth and box office. All were a great success.

Universal Cinema also immediately put the sequel to "Here Comes the Grim Reaper" on the agenda - they bought the rights to "9,999 Ways to Die for Porters". Not squeezing its value with all its might. Isn't it a pity?

Moreover, if that author can really write enough 9999 ways to die, and they make one of the 9 ways to die, then they can shoot more than a thousand!

What a terrifying value this can create!

In the end, it was the highlight of Universal Cinema that was released after the Christmas schedule, with their best director, using the strongest team and equipment, starring two actors and one actress. spent nearly $200 million to invest in "Jurassic Park" from He Chen's famous comic "Nobita's Dinosaurs".

This is a Hollywood blockbuster that combines science fiction, adventure, and thriller.

It tells the story of the government stealing Doraemon's props to build a dinosaur park, but in the end it gets out of control...... However, it is worth noting that from beginning to end, Doraemon has not even seen his shadow except for the name being mentioned once.

The flaws in the plot make people unable to complain, but watching this kind of movie, who especially watches the plot?

It's under Hollywood stunts. It's as if you've traveled back in time to ancient times, and the dinosaurs are realistic.

……

may be due to the fact that they are all adapted from Chinese works. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, which was originally extremely strict in reviewing imported works, unexpectedly cleared the three works of Universal Cinema very quickly.

A week after their release in North America, they will basically be released in China.

The North American version of "The Grudge" suffered a Waterloo and a dismal box office.

After all, I have already seen the most classic Chinese version of "The Grudge", and the audience is not interested in this remake of this work that has not changed much.

""The Grim Reaper is Coming" is so good-looking, it is all an accident, as if it was a predestined fate. It's Hollywood, only they can come up with such a classic idea!"

“…… Is this man joking?"

"This red fruit hook should be fishing. ”

"Damn! What kind of fish are dropping? Isn't "Death Coming" not good-looking? That link after link, the sense of urgency to find vitality in various details, completely explodes all the suspense themes in China!"

"Not fishing?"

"That's an idiot!"

"Children, read more books, you will find a different world. ”

"Hehe, a bunch of garbage, you can't say that Huaxia is bad, right? How much does the Huaxuan Department pay you? Do you stick five cents? A group of guys who only know how to laugh at themselves, don't face up to the excellence of others, with the support of people like you, no wonder Huaxia movies have not been able to develop!"

"This crazy chain hook is uncomfortable if you don't bite it!"

"I'll bite, I'll bite!"

"I said that others are self-congratulatory, but I watched it for a long time and found that you are the only one who is self-congratulatory. If you simply say that the domestic film system is backward and the movies are not good, you may still get a lot of supporters. It's okay to praise Hollywood, because Hollywood movies do outpace us a lot – and we're catching up little by little. "The Grim Reaper is Coming" is indeed a good film. However, you use the idea of "Here Comes the Grim Reaper" to find a squirt...... Don't you even watch the movie introduction?"

"The Grim Reaper is Coming" is adapted from the Huaxia Tianman comic "9999 Ways to Die of Porters". ”

“……”

Exports turn to domestic sales, and it is easy for such interesting things to happen.

However, He Chen is more concerned about how this movie is reviewed. After all, there is no grading system in Huaxia, and "The 9999 Ways to Die of Porters" has also undergone a harmonious change from "people" to "stickmen", and "Death is Coming" will never let all the leading actors in it become stickmen, right?

With curiosity, He Chen deliberately went to watch this movie, and then he was blinded by the vast holy light, the eyes of kryptonite.

The director of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" actually used He Chen's use of the Great Holy Light Technique to circumvent censorship in the animation on the movie!

He Chen praised the director's attitude of humbly learning advanced technology.

But what about the effect......

The highlight of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" is all kinds of bizarre dead man methods, with many shots, although the holy light is used to code, so that it can be reviewed.

But what is presented in front of the audience is that every key highlight shot is a piece of white light. Except for a few heroes who have reached the realm of "code in their eyes, no code in their hearts", the entire theater is full of scolding fathers.

Even if you go through the content before and after, you can guess what happened. But I can guess it, I can't see it, it's like putting a woman with a red fruit in front of a pervert, but it is separated by a transparent tempered glass cover. Let the pervert see and touch, and the heart is itching.

Stories are good stories, ideas are good ideas, and movies are good movies. But this kind of bad behavior of fooling the audience in order to make box office has brought huge negative reviews to "The Grim Reaper" in Huaxia.

Although there are many negative reviews, there is still a box office. And "Jurassic Park" is compared with "The Grim Reaper", not only has a very poor reputation, but even the box office is miserable.

"Jurassic Park" is a very classic movie in every way. Such a movie should have swept China, but in the end it ended miserably, not to mention that Universal Cinema didn't expect it, He Chen himself was shocked.

"Mom, Nobita's Dinosaurs has been made into a live-action movie, I want to watch it!" a pink little Lori coquettishly spoiled her young mother.

As a school's recommended comic, the mother often watched "Doraemon" with her daughter, and she even bought a full set of "Doraemon" for women.

When the long story "Nobita's Dinosaur" of "Doraemon" was adapted into an animated movie, the mother also watched it with her daughter, which was very interesting, and the children liked it, and the adults were also very touched when they saw it at the end.

For such an educational work, the daughter wants to watch it, and the mother will certainly not refuse.

The mother squatted down, gently pinched her daughter's fleshy little face, and doted: "Okay, Mom will take you to the movies this weekend!"

Looking at the movie promotional poster, it seems that the story is different from "Nobita's Dinosaur".

But the mother didn't care, and took her daughter to buy a big box of popcorn and juice, and then took the ticket and went to the cinema.

There are a lot of people who watch the movie on the weekend, and many of them are with children like her, and they come to see the movie for the porter and the name of "Nobita's Dinosaurs".

I found a seat with my bouncing daughter, and after a few moments of taking a seat, the movie began.

This is a well-made 3D movie, with 3D glasses, feel the visual feast of Hollywood blockbusters.

"Mom, why hasn't Doraemon come out yet?"

After watching it for a long time, she found that her favorite character had not yet come out, so her daughter took her mother's hand and asked.

The mother patted her daughter's hand gently: "Wait and see, maybe it will come out in a while." ”

When the dinosaur group appeared, there were bursts of exclamations in the theater, and the beautiful scenery made countless people addicted to it.

However, the beauty did not last long, when the terrifying Tyrannosaurus rex suddenly appeared.

The theater suddenly erupted in a large number of children's cries.

Specially, for children, the ugly and terrifying head that suddenly appears in front of them will be the shadow of the rest of their lives.

Parents hurriedly coaxed their children and complained about Hollywood.

"What kind of Hollywood, if you can't adapt it, don't adapt the porter......'s masterpiece! Good girl, daughter, don't cry, this movie is not good, we won't watch it!"

Countless people have made the same choice as their mothers - to leave the table directly.

directly classified "Jurassic Park" as a bad movie in my heart.

So the bad reviews of "Jurassic Park" were brushed out in this way.

In word of mouth, "Jurassic Park" incarnated as a fanvillain, and was stepped on by countless people, regardless of whether they saw it or not.

With such an evaluation, the box office of "Jurassic Park" can be imagined. It was hastily removed from the shelves after three weeks of screening.

This has not only become the black history of "Jurassic Park" - the North American box office is 800 million US dollars, and the global box office is 1.3 billion US dollars, but there is only 10 million Chinese coins at the box office in China. This set a Hollywood record - it became the only Hollywood blockbuster film to lose money in China.

And this has become the black history of Universal Cinema - if they just promote it ordinarily, if they don't use the fame of "Nobita's Dinosaurs", maybe it won't be like this.

If there was a grading system in Huaxia, maybe it wouldn't be the case. (To be continued......)
