Chapter 29 The real reason for the popularity of "Slaying the Dragon".
Magic City, Community 1603.
"Ah, I'm so tired! this damn roadshow is finally over!" Ying Bao threw herself on the bed, really wanting to sleep until she was old.
The month-long roadshow is over, and the cumulative box office of "Slaying the Dragon" has reached 820 million.
China Film successfully postponed the key obtained for "Slaying the Dragon", and gave "Slaying the Dragon" a full two months of release time.
In this way, the release time of "Slaying the Dragon" will reach an unprecedented three months and twelve weeks in domestic films!
Among all the movies broadcast in China, there is only one that can reach this release time, and that is "Avatar" at the beginning of the year!
In the next two months, it is no problem for "Slayer the Dragon" to surpass a billion at the total box office.
But what everyone wants is not that the total box office of "Slaying the Dragon" exceeds one billion.
At this time, everyone is concerned about whether "Slaying the Dragon" can surpass the 1.3 billion domestic total box office record set by "Avatar"!
In fact, this is the reason why "Slaying the Dragon" was able to get a three-month release time.
Some high-level officials want to see how far this domestic film can go.
With the same number of release days, can it beat the box office miracle created by "Avatar".
This result may even have an impact on some decisions at the top.
"Hey, you said that your identity as an Internet god really adds so much? I heard that many entertainment companies are now eyeing the online literature circle, and many companies even have the idea of signing well-known online authors and then packaging them as stars. Ying Bao turned her head and asked.
Jiang Bai put down the teacup and said with a faint smile: "It's just a whim of some small companies, do you see the big four have any moves?"
"In fact, any movie becomes a hit, it is the result of the interweaving of many factors, and it is not objective to simply emphasize the role of a certain factor. ”
"The support of fans cannot be ignored for "Slaying the Dragon" to achieve today's results, but "Slaying the Dragon" can not only rely on the support of fans. ”
Jiang Bai said, his expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he really has a lot of book fans.
But it's not for nothing that there are more book lovers than him.
For example, the junior who is about to enter the film and television industry.
There are more book lovers than him!
What's more, they are the gods who came out of the physical book market.
Readers who can afford physical books are usually wealthier.
Their support for idol writers is stronger than that of online readers.
But even so, the "Little Times" series of the future Xiaosi will only have a box office of hundreds of millions.
"In the final analysis, a movie must first rely on quality, and it doesn't have to be good, but at least it can't make ordinary audiences feel too bad. ”
"Take "Slaying the Dragon" as an example, it is first of all a relatively good movie, so that the audience does not feel that it is a loss to buy tickets. ”
"On this basis, the action of other factors begins to produce a virtuous circle. ”
"As far as "Slaying the Dragon" is concerned, after having a good quality foundation, my book fans are the first factor for him to take off at the box office, "Avatar" is the second factor for his box office take-off, and other films in the National Day file are the third factor for him to take off at the box office!"
Ying Bao was puzzled: "I can understand that you say that fans are the first factor, but what does it have to do with "Avatar" and the films of the same period?"
Jiang Bai lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said with a smile: "At the beginning of the year, "Avatar" swept the domestic box office of 1.3 billion, making domestic movies mourn all over the country, which seems to hurt a lot.
But in my opinion, the emergence of "Avatar" is actually beneficial and harmless to domestic films.
The Catfish Effect understands, right?
"Avatar" is the catfish in the domestic film market.
Its biggest role is to improve the horizons of domestic audiences and let everyone know what a real Hollywood blockbuster!
There is no harm if there is no comparison, after watching real Hollywood blockbusters, the attitude of domestic audiences towards domestic movies will be polarized.
On the one hand, it has lost interest in backward domestic special effects films, and domestic special effects films will usher in a cold winter.
But on the other hand, the audience also has great expectations for domestic films that can reach the Hollywood level.
So when "Slaying the Dragon" appeared, although it was not perfect enough in terms of script and actors, it was still very popular with the audience.
They've been looking forward to a domestic movie that will reach Hollywood's top special effects for too long!"
"This is the help of "Avatar"? What do other films in the National Day file mean?" asked Yingbao again.
Jiang Bai said with a smile: "This is very simple, I said when I analyzed the National Day file market before, the only one that can compete head-on with "Slaying the Dragon" is "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire"!"
But what movie is this?
This is the same as "Slaying the Dragon", an action blockbuster focusing on special effects!
In all fairness, the level of special effects in "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" is not bad.
The actor's acting skills and appeal are several grades stronger than "Slaying the Dragon", which can basically be regarded as the top production of the current domestic special effects blockbuster.
If there is no "Slaying the Dragon", its appearance will meet the expectations of domestic audiences to a certain extent, and then win two or three hundred million box office, and it will not be a problem to become the biggest winner of the National Day file.
But his mistake was that he shouldn't have played against "Slaying the Dragon".
With the level of "Slaying the Dragon" in terms of special effects, any current domestic movie that focuses on special effects will be crushed into slag!
This is the reason why the box office of "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" fell off a cliff.
As far as "Slaying the Dragon" is concerned, there is only one opponent in "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" on the National Day file, which is a great blessing!
Because not all audiences like to watch special effects blockbusters, as long as there is a film with other themes, "Slaying the Dragon" cannot completely occupy this market.
But it was "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" and "Slaying the Dragon" against each other.
This is tantamount to the peers giving up the entire National Day audience to "Slaying the Dragon", if the box office of the dragon slaying does not take off, there will be ghosts!" Jiang Bai said lightly.
Ying Bao exclaimed, "There are so many Taos in this, do others know about these things except you?"
"Poof, of course you know, you think everyone is like you, so stupid and sweet!
As soon as the box office of "Slaying the Dragon" came out on the first day, the invitation letters of the four major companies were sent to me, what do you think is because of this?" Jiang Bai said with a smile.
Ying Bao exclaimed: "But, but, no one in the media has ever said this?"
"The media, hehe, you can believe what they say!" Jiang Bai smiled disdainfully,
"Although these things are not secret, if you don't know much about the domestic market, you can't think of it.
In this case, let them shift their attention to the online authors, firstly, they can avoid scolding, and secondly, it is convenient for them to secretly lay out and seize the opportunity, why not?"
