Chapter 1184: Continue to Publicize
"Warcraft" should be regarded as one of the more typical examples. The global box office is 432 million, of which only $47 million is in the United States. Oriental contributed 1.47 billion RMB, accounting for the majority of the total box office.
In addition, there are "Extreme Agent: Ultimate Return", "Change 5", "Resident Evil: Final Chapter", etc., all of which have won nearly half of the global box office.
This shows how much potential this place in the East can burst out!
Not to mention far away, let's just say that "Avatar", which was released last year, earned 300 million US dollars more than the original version, and although this 300 million cannot be said to be all contributed by the Oriental box office, it definitely accounts for the vast majority.
Some say that the East saved Hollywood's bad movies. There are also some people who use a lofty posture to ridicule the Oriental people for not having the correct aesthetics of movies, just like the former "city people" laughed at the "local old mao".
That's right, in movies, the East does take a shorter path. But to go online and directly think that all the reasons are that Orientals have no knowledge, it is too ridiculous and too arrogant.
It's not hard to see why.
It's normal to start late and feel fresh when you see a movie you haven't seen much before. It's like in online literature, how many people liked the refreshing feeling of counterattack when the waste firewood flow appeared at the beginning? But later, as more and more articles were read, readers found that any article was wastewood? Whether it was reborn, crossed, or original, the waste firewood of a water plus the setting of a retired marriage and a portable grandfather.
No matter how good the setting is, it will make the reader tired of using it again and again. But newcomers at the beginning will still find it cool and interesting when they see this kind of article.
It's the same as in the movies. Hollywood's big scenes and special effects are very popular with oriental audiences, but everyone hasn't seen it much before, and they all think it's very novel and interesting. And the audience in the United States has watched the same genre for decades, hundreds and thousands, and will definitely find it boring and not interesting.
But it's not just that, there is also a cultural and aesthetic difference.
It's like some Oriental women who are considered beautiful by Westerners, but they don't look very good in the eyes of Orientals. Some movies are translated into what they understand in the eyes of Westerners, and in the eyes of Easterners, they are also transformed into what Easterners can understand.
For example, director Nolan's "Dunkirk" released in 17. Westerners think it is very good, very humane, very moving, and even packaged as the "Long March" of Westerners. But the Oriental people think it's just an escape play, and there's nothing worth watching at all. It is purely an act of shamelessly abandoning his comrades and allies, throwing off his armor and fleeing without firing a shot.
This is the difference in culture, background, and perception.
But are Westerners really tired of big scenes and big productions? Look at the amazing box office results of "The Avengers", which is loved by the whole world, including North America!
People love it to death, and whether it's in the East or the West, there is always an endless stream of praise.
A good reputation drives more people into the cinema, and when they go out after watching it, they will tell more people, make them curious, and become a new batch of audiences.
It can be seen that it is not that Westerners are tired of watching big productions, but that they have not achieved the degree that they like it.
And when the global box office of "The Avengers" exceeded 1.5 billion, and it still continued to have a very high attendance, the media finally couldn't sit still.
Leila's previous films are not without more than 1.5 billion, and even a little higher. But it's not just the box office that's worth noting, it's also the extent of the box office decline.
The last film with a box office of more than 1.5 billion has come to an end when it got so much box office, but the situation of "The Avengers" is different, while getting such a high box office, its speed has not slowed down much at all, and it seems that the time to break through "Titanic" is just around the corner.
What caused this pomp?
Film critics have expressed their opinions.
Some believe that it was the high publicity costs that Leila had invested in that played a big role.
Others think she chose a good time. Although the public opinion at that time was very unfavorable to her, it cannot be denied that the film she wanted to make was famous before it was filmed. Whether it is the film she made in order to refute those criticisms, or the good time, in short, it is indeed because of public opinion that many people have great expectations for her movie.
More objective film critics analyzed the entire film.
"The first is the choice of actors. Director Moran has never disappointed in this regard. It seems that the actors who come out of her will always have a feeling that makes people shine. When you see the actors in the movies, you feel like they deserve that role, and there is no one better than them. ”
In addition, Director Moran's directing level is beyond doubt. In the film, we can often see her using a more creative perspective to tell the story. She seems to be miraculously able to find the best way to shoot and shoot angles, in her eyes, the actors and the film have secrets that outsiders can't understand, and only she can show the charm of those secrets to the world through the lens. ”
"Personally, I think it's very important to have a script. The pace of the script was so tight that there was no way for the audience to take their eyes off the big screen during the more than two hours of running time. Even if it's just the blink of an eye, an important shot may flash. Of course, it's not that those important shots will be fleeting, but every frame of the film is very captivating. ”
It's not that there are more negative comments, but they are all ignored by Lyra. There are so many articles that praise themselves, who would go out of their way to look at the words that hack themselves?
If you have nothing to do and have fun, you can still see it, who told her to be busy now? Of course, she won't waste her precious time on hacking her own people.
Leila is really busy during this time, in order to promote the movie, even though it has been released for such a long time, she still continues to run around the world to create buzz for the film. Her identity, her status in Hollywood, her influence in the history of world cinema made her very warmly welcomed wherever she went.
Sometimes the enthusiasm of fans even surprises her, needless to say in the West, fans in several Asian countries are so admired for her, which really surprises her.
When she came all the way from several box office countries in Asia, the media found that as long as she walked, the box office of the movie would immediately rise a lot, and in some places it even climbed by 90 degrees. The most touching thing is that such an ascent is not going up and falling quickly, but can have an impact within a week or two.
