Chapter 98: Dream Voyage Four Axes

With the super popularity of the Titanic and the unsurpassed world's No. 1 box office, coupled with the super low cost and super thousand-fold return rate of "Blair the Witch" this time, Dream Voyage's fame once again made headlines in the entertainment section of the magnesium country.

But this is not over, the accumulation of dollars in the two films has made Shaogong jump to the first place on the Fox Huaxia rich list, although there are richer lords in Taiwan and Hong Kong, but in the eyes of the magnesium people, those two places are not Huaxia, they count, at present, in China, Ouyang Shaogong and his Menghang's total assets have indeed firmly sat on the throne of the richest man in China.

Because Ma Yunyun and Wang Jianlin have not grown up during this period, and the accumulation of dollars of other groups is not as much as that of Dream Airlines Group. But another month passed, and just when Menghang started filming "The Shawshank Redemption", Menghang's other low-budget movie "Chainsaw", which invested more than one million, was released again.

Although it is under the banner of a horror movie, it is an out-and-out bloody film. With the success of "Blair the Witch", the enthusiasm of many magnesium audiences for this horror film has been rekindled.

Due to the excessive violence and gore in the film, there have been many incidents of moviegoers being scared in theaters after the release, so some theaters have posted slogans in the screening hall suggesting that people with poor psychological tolerance and sensitive to internal organs and dismemberment should not watch it.

Watching the movie frightened the audience, and the front door of the screening hall posted a sign with a poor ability to bear the "don't watch the movie", which not only failed to stop the audience, but aroused their strong urge to watch, and some theaters even arranged it at midnight, just to let the thrill-seeking audience let out a scream piercing the eardrum in the blood and violence.

It grossed $55.18 million at the full magnesium box office, breaking the record for "Blair the Witch", and at the box office in Europe it was $60 million, also breaking the record for "Blair the Witch", achieving another miracle of $151.8 billion at the box office.

Although the film was released in magnesium countries and Europe, it was not released in China, because the film contained a lot of blood and violence, which did not meet the standards of Chinese screening, otherwise the box office would have increased.

But this does not stop the reason why it is regarded as a classic horror film, and the chainsaw series has also become one of the symbols of Dream Voyage horror films.

Such two low-cost horror films have brought more than 200 million US dollars in revenue to Menghang, which has completely opened a precedent for magnesium countries that low cost may not be able to have super returns. When filmmakers in Huaxia heard the news, they all laughed at how rare and strange the old magnesium is, but they didn't know that Ouyang Shaogong was also a professional household with low cost and big returns in China.

Although their hearts were sour when they said this, they had to admit that Menghang was now in the magnesium country, which could be regarded as completely opening up a situation. Although there is still a big gap between them and the six old Hollywood companies, they believe that Menghang will become the seventh largest film and television company sooner or later.

Two months later, that is, when there was still the last month left in the summer vacation, Menghang once again launched an oriental martial arts movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", its producer is Kevin Little, and all the dubbing is also the best among the Chinese in the magnesium country, but all the actors do not have a magnesium national person involved, it is a pure martial arts movie, the drama propaganda says, this film is the most distinctive is the magical characteristics of Chinese martial arts, you may not see Bruce Lee's fights in the film, but you can definitely appreciate the mystery of another Chinese martial arts.

For the most mysterious martial arts in the East, foreigners can only appreciate it through the movies of Li Lianjie, Cheng Long, Bruce Lee, Hong Jinbao and others, but the setting, shooting methods, martial arts fights and light skills, and the coordination of scenery of this Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon obviously firmly grasp the attention of Westerners, and its appearance seems to be specially tailored for Westerners with two pairs of protagonists and two clues.

The two protagonists of Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian are prepared for Western intellectuals, and the love between them belongs to Platonic love, Shakespearean dialogue, Romeo and Juliet-like endings, and the lofty humanistic realm is exactly the key point of Westerners.

And Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong's western cowboy characters who dare to love and hate, dare to fight and dare to kill are mainly prepared for ordinary magnesium country audiences, and the story of Li Mubai killing the blue-eyed fox to avenge his master in the film alludes to the main line of "The Count of Monte Cristo", and the clue of stealing the Qingying Sword is very similar to the popular drama of Magnesium Country. Therefore, the significance of this film does not lie in how many Chinese elements the director shows in the film, but in how to make many magnesium people understand and accept this display in an appropriate way, and are deeply impressed by the visual effects brought by the charm of the film.

After its release, this oriental martial arts film grossed $130 million in magnesium countries, and in Europe, it also achieved $100 million, plus the box office in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and the global box office finally reached $350 million.

The hit screening of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" once again refreshed the total box office of "Blair the Witch" and "Chainsaw", becoming the box office miracle of Dream Voyage's third film. Two months later, another movie "The Shawshank Redemption" of Menghang began to be screened, although there were already many commercial blockbusters in the magnesium country theater at this time, but "The Shawshank Redemption" was still like the Titanic, fearlessly rushing into the blockbuster crowd surrounded by businessmen.

After the release of "The Shawshank Redemption", it also encountered the same situation as "Titanic", its box office in the first week was obviously not strong, and it only achieved a box office of 10 million US dollars, but in the next second week, the third week, and even the fourth week, its box office was actually the same as "Titanic", with an unstoppable trend of surpassing major commercial blockbusters one after another, and successfully achieved a super turnaround of 800 million US dollars in global ticket prices, and its production cost was less than 60 million US dollars in total, and this time it was more than 10 times the rate of return.

In 07, four super-grossing films with a good reputation brought Menghang a total box office revenue of more than $1.3 billion. No wonder a reporter from the New York Daily published an article saying: 07 The film industry in the magnesium country is a year for Dream Voyage, because they use their strength and creativity to prove what is called a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth. Because the total investment in the four films this year is less than 100 million US dollars, but the result is a return of more than 1.3 billion US dollars. So in terms of creativity, Menghang has been ahead of the film industry in the magnesium country.

Menghang's "The Shawshank Redemption" is really a movie that makes you want to watch it again, even the third, fourth, or even more times after watching it. The shock of its ending, the perfection of the plot, and the classics of the lines, almost no one in the audience who has seen it has not been impressed by it.

In my opinion, at least two Dream Voyage films will be selected for the '07 Oscars next year - this is a report from the Washington Post.

In my opinion, "The Shawshank Redemption" can already be ranked as the three best films in the history of magnesium film along with "The Godfather" and "Forrest Gump". And when I introduce it to my friends, they always ask me, is it really that good??

And the friend asked me why this film was recognized by so many people! I thought about answering him, what is this film trying to convey to us? And in my opinion, it conveys the most important element of human existence, "freedom" -- this is the statement of the magnesium country time.

Freedom, what is freedom? Perhaps only those who have truly lost their freedom will know what true freedom is. In "The Shawshank Redemption", Andy finally completed the great prison escape after 19 years, and I still remember the moment when he climbed out of the dark, long, dirty pit to welcome the rain of freedom.

That's right, that's my favorite shot, because he breathes free air. And before this, he endured humiliation and purgatory, and Andy was also experiencing another kind of life. This kind of behavior abounds in the film, like Red said, you would say that he did it to please the guard, or maybe to get on good terms with us, and I think he was just trying to experience what it feels like to be a normal person again, even if it's just for a moment -- that's a comment from The Times.

With so much momentum, it is difficult for Menghang's fame not to burn half the sky in the magnesium country. According to media reports in the Chinese film circle, at the Oscars held in 08 - "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be pushed by the state to compete for the Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film award.

People say that the new official took office with three fires, but Menghang came to the first time in the magnesium country, a "Titanic" smashed out of the world's highest box office film, and in the second year, okay?
