Chapter 1495: Gap
"Liang Zhu" rice movie box office: 180 million yuan.?? Huo Ran?Wen ??? .?
European box office: 230 million euros.
Compared with the film market in the United States, "Liang Zhu" seems to be a little more popular in Europe.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that "Liang Zhu" is promoted in Europe as Romeo and Juliet of China, on the other hand, European movie audiences, relatively speaking, are more likely to accept Huaxia's love values.
The United States is still a little too impetuous.
After Yang Ming hung up Liu Xinsheng's phone, he went to the study to search for the Internet about the situation after the release of "Liang Zhu" in the United States and Europe.
After watching it for a while, he also had a bottom in his heart.
Compared with the box office results of several of his previous self-directed and self-starred films abroad, the box office of "Liang Zhu" can be said to have suffered Waterloo, and the results are miserable.
However, there are still many people in the domestic film industry who have given quite high praise to the box office results of the movie "Liang Zhu" in foreign film markets.
After all, this is not a purely commercial blockbuster.
It is a pure Chinese movie with Chinese culture as the core and love legends as the foundation.
Now to achieve such box office results abroad, it can be regarded as a breakthrough record in the history of Chinese films.
Some well-known filmmakers claim that if they are replaced by other domestic film directors to shoot, let alone Yang Ming's results, the box office results can be 10 million meters, which is considered to break history.
This sentence made some red-eyed film directors angry.
But they were really speechless in the face of this sentence, and they had no way to refute it.
Because that's just the way it is.
Compared with the achievements of Chinese films in the United States and European film markets in the previous life, although there is a little victory, it is also a visible gap, which is completely negligible.
In the two worlds, there are indeed Chinese-language films that can achieve fairly good box office results in the United States.
But most of these Chinese-language movies are kung fu or martial arts movies.
Even the distributors of some film companies, when they go to the United States and Europe to sell domestic films, foreign distributors have long been accustomed to asking: "Is this time still a kung fu movie?"
From this, it can be seen that the impression of Chinese films in the minds of foreign movie audiences seems to have long been ingrained.
And this time, "Liang Zhu" achieved box office results abroad, which really surprised the local film circle.
Several movies shot by Yang Ming are either "2012" and a special effects commercial blockbuster that costs a lot of money, or novel Chinese kung fu movies like "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", even "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms", in addition to the history and culture of China, it also combines special effects war scenes and kung fu fight scenes.
Like "Liang Zhu", which does not use special effects production as a selling point and does not have Chinese kung fu as a gimmick, it is simply an outlier to be able to achieve such box office results abroad.
Yang Ming made a cup of tea and sat alone in the study, frowning, thinking about the impact of "Liang Zhu" achieving such box office results abroad.
Originally, he thought that "Liang Zhu" would be like countless domestic films in his previous life, which was well received in China, and the box office repeatedly broke records, but he was ashamed to see the box office results when it was released abroad.
Now it seems that compared with the previous life, the influence of Chinese films in this world is still a little greater.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the world's strongest national strength of China.
After all, as the first power, Huaxia's influence has penetrated into every corner of the world in the past 100 years.
That's the change that comes with the influence of the state.
Now that the box office results of "Liang Zhu" are used as a reference, can other Chinese-language films that do not use special effects and kung fu as their selling points also achieve certain success abroad?
&NBC Cinemas also tried to introduce several Chinese-language films on a small scale, but the box office results were unsatisfactory.
Obviously, the success of "Liang Zhu" is not universal.
Especially those Chinese movies that do not have big scenes and big productions, it is almost difficult for the box office performance in the United States to exceed 10 million meters, but Chinese movies with 10 million meters abound.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Ming did not insist that Lopez vigorously introduce Chinese films.
If you really want to do this, it will definitely arouse the disgust of other Hollywood film distribution companies, which will bring unnecessary trouble.
He took a pencil and wrote and drew on paper, whether there was any reference for the success of "Liang Zhu".
A Chinese star with global popularity!!
Yang Ming thought about it and took the lead in writing such a sentence on paper.
Although he is modest, he unabashedly said that the box office results of "Liang Zhu" abroad are related to Yang Ming's own high star effect in the world.
He dares to guarantee that if this movie is played by someone else, no matter who it is, it is estimated that the box office results of this movie will shrink a lot.
This is a very real problem.
Domestic actors and stars, no matter how big, big, and famous, are only Chinese stars in East Asia who can spread their influence to the United States and Europe.
That's just the way it is.
No matter how famous your domestic star is, it won't work in the United States and Europe.
For the local audience, it is completely unwell-known, and the fan effect is basically zero!
In this way, the appeal of the film to the local audience can be imagined.
So, the next step is to fight the quality of the movie.
However, if the stars are removed, the quality of Chinese-language films is probably not as good as that of local Hollywood commercial films, and with the language barrier, it naturally cannot constitute an attraction to local audiences in the United States and Europe.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming sighed, he still wants to make stars!
Not only to create stars at home and in East Asia, but also to expand the battlefield to the whole world.
Otherwise, when Chinese movies face Hollywood in the future.
Hollywood comes out with a movie at random, and the stars in it are more famous than domestic stars, and even more attractive than domestic stars to local audiences.
That's embarrassing!
Yang Ming experienced this kind of thing a lot in his previous life.
And not once or twice.
In a past life.
This situation is at the most glorious time for Hong Kong films, but as long as it is marked with a Hong Kong film, it must be better than mainland movies!
After more than ten years of market cultivation, most of Hollywood's stars have box office appeal in China, but it is much more than that of local stars.
Sometimes it's sad to think about.
Forget about Hong Kong films, this is my own family; Hollywood broke in, there is no way, the comparison between the two is completely crushing; in the end, even the stick came to the domestic entertainment industry to show off his might.
Domestic fans can't even eat for the sake of Korean stars, and they have to support their idols.
It's ridiculous.
How can it not make people feel heartache when the next generation is fascinated by a small island country?
Don't blame the domestic fans, after all, who they like has their freedom, and don't blame the government, after all, for the government, the most important thing is always the people's livelihood.
Yang Ming just hates those bigwigs who always like to fight in the nest and always lose in the face of foreign enemies.
He didn't want the history of the past life to be repeated in this life.
Fortunately, with several of his movies selling around the world, he has also become popular with several people.
People like Yang Chaowei, Niu Hua and others also have a little box office appeal in foreign film markets.
Now even if there is no script from Yang Ming, they can receive scripts from abroad.
Obviously.
His star-making plan has been successful.
Even if not all of these people are DreamWorks' artists, Yang Ming still thinks it's worth it.
An industry cannot be supported by one person.
In addition to the problem of star box office appeal, there are also cultural differences.
Yang Ming didn't have a good way to do this.
Fortunately, compared with the previous life, because of the strong national strength of China, this difference is not unbridgeable.
In the final analysis, the so-called cultural differences are still a competition between civilizations, and the dominant side will obviously not accept the rules of the weaker civilization.
As long as the country is strong enough, it will be the best in the world.
No matter how big the cultural difference is, it must be done according to what the stronger side says.
Wasn't that the case in the previous life?
What democracy, peace, freedom!
In fact, that is the value that belongs to the winner, and it has nothing to do with being right!
Fortunately, in today's world, China represents democracy, peace, and freedom.
Yang Ming put a lot of things on the paper, and then he sorted it out again, made it into an email, and sent it to Liu Xinsheng.
In the future, if the movies shot by DreamWorks want to achieve good results abroad, in addition to the quality of the film itself, it also needs a large number of stars to support the box office results of the film.
Then you need to make stars.
In this way, the development of the company's artists now purposefully selects candidates who are suitable for creating global stars.
Paving the way for the future.
Yang Ming went to sleep after sending the email, tomorrow he will get up early to go to the company to have a look, and then he will start a week's travel with Su Su, and after the tour, he will immediately enter the crew of "Dragon Eagle Fall".
It's just that he didn't expect that after the box office results of "Liang Zhu" abroad spread to China, various controversies would further ferment tonight.
A well-known figure in the film industry suddenly stood up and criticized Yang Ming's "Liang Zhu" on the scarf.
"It cannot be denied that the soundtrack of the movie is indeed excellent, but the adaptation of the plot completely deviates from the legend of Liang Zhu that has been passed down for thousands of years; ”
"Although this movie has done well at the domestic box office, the box office results do not represent everything, and today's young people are very impetuous when they achieve a little success, ignoring the rules of the movie and making something sensational. ”
"The female number one who plays Zhu Yingtai, her acting skills are too blunt and exaggerated, which tarnishes this character that has been passed down for thousands of years. ”
"The adapted storyline is seriously disrespectful to the original story!"
"The box office results abroad also prove it!"
.......
After this comment was published on the scarf, it was immediately reprinted by several well-known figures in the film industry, and soon caused a strong controversy on the Internet.
Especially when the media saw who made this comment, they quickly joined the party that added fuel to the fire, completely expanding the influence of the matter to the entire entertainment industry.
"The famous veteran director Hou Zhengde criticized Yang Ming by name: grandstanding!"
"Yang Ming just got married, and he was poured cold water!"
Hou Zhengde severely accused Yang Ming of not being worthy of being a film director. ”
"Homosexuality!" The failure of the adaptation of "Liang Zhu"?"
.......
When the entertainment industry sees the news reports from the media, they can't help but feel a toothache.
No one thought that Yang Ming would lure out the old guy Hou Zhengde, it seems that this time Yang Ming is in trouble!
They really feel sorry for Yang Ming!
As for Hou Zhengde's reasons for criticizing Yang Ming, they didn't take it to heart at all.
It is clear to all that these reasons are entirely nitty-gritty.
If this old guy wants to criticize someone, then he will definitely try to find a reason in every possible way.
And the influence is particularly great.
Because Hou Zhengde is indeed not an ordinary figure in the Chinese film industry.
It may be an exaggeration to describe Taishan Beidou, but it is not too much to be respected.
Since Li Dongyang announced that he would no longer pick up the microphone, this old guy may be the oldest director in the film industry.
And there are real materials.
Especially this guy has been teaching at the Huaxia Opera Academy for 20 years, which can be described as a peach and plum all over the world.
In particular, many Taoli have achieved great success in the film industry and have great influence.
When these people are all united, no one can ignore them.
No one thought that Hou Zhengde would suddenly stand up against Yang Ming?
What's going on?
The gossip hearts of countless people suddenly burned.
After a night of propagation, this incident completely spread throughout the entire media circle the next day, and everyone knew about it.
Yang Ming didn't know it at first, but he still got on the plane, and when he flew to Tibet with Su Su, when he closed his eyes on the plane to recuperate, Su Su came to him with his mobile phone, and he knew what happened.
"Hou Zhengde, what kind of gunpowder did this guy take, and he actually pointed the gun at me!" Yang Ming took the mobile phone from Su Su's hand, and after looking at the news that had turned the Internet upside down, he laughed lightly.
"Do you still have the heart to laugh?" Su Su snatched the phone and slapped Yang Ming's arm, "You quickly call the old dean, this old man is not something that ordinary people can deal with, it is estimated that in the entire film industry, except for the old dean, no one has a high rank as him, even if he doesn't pay attention, just by his age, it will account for three points." ”
"That's true. ”
Yang Ming's eyes couldn't help but narrow.
He really didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
He wouldn't be surprised if there were critics, or anyone else targeting him.
But Hou Zhengde is a lot older, is it necessary to target him so unscrupulously?
Especially his so-called reasons, in the eyes of professionals, are simply ridiculous.
The success of "Liang Zhu" cannot be discredited by his words alone.
Yang Ming felt that there must be a reason in this that he didn't know.
There is no love without a reason in this world, and there is no hate without a reason!
What reason does Hou Zhengde have to target him?
There is no reason and no motive!
This old man does not belong to any film company, and with his reputation, no film company dares to use a contract to bind him.
Yang Ming thought about it seriously, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Su Su's anxiety, patted her hand gently, and comforted: "Don't worry, your husband and I have never had smooth sailing all the way, it's not a big deal, don't bother the old dean for the time being, I'll check the old man's information first." ”
"Okay!" Su Su thought for a moment and nodded.
With Yang Ming's current strength, it is true that no one can smear and slander, even if this person is the highly respected Hou Zhengde.
Yang Ming opened the laptop he was carrying, and on his private jet, there was obviously no rule that he could not play with his mobile phone and surf the Internet.
While searching for Hou Zhengde's information, he sneered in his heart!
After such a long time, some people may have forgotten how he dealt with the wanton smear and harsh criticism of those so-called celebrities on the Internet when he debuted.
