Chapter Seventy-Seven: Saidek Balai
After talking about half an hour, the two young ladies seemed to be in spirit!
If you don't sleep, you won't let Pao Hui sleep.
So, he's got a trick!
"It's not fun to play cards, I'll tell you two jokes!"
"Yes, yes!"
Nini was delighted.
“… Forget it, I'll go back to sleep!"
Ya's face changed, and she seemed to have returned to the days when she was dominated by cannon jokes!
"Let's start with the first one, there was a guy who was too short in Tintin, so he went to learn Latin dance!"
After the joke was finished, he looked at the two girls a little expectantly, uh, no reaction...
No, as the owner of 'From Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study', Xu Hui laughed out loud when he first saw this joke.
Maybe the woman didn't understand the connotation of this joke, so he changed directions: "You may not understand this, it's like the phrase 'one small step forward, one big step forward for civilization', I'll tell you another one!"
Well, let's talk about a little cute!
"What does Pikachu look like? Pikachu, Pikapong, Pikapong, Pikapong, Pikapong, Pikapong, Pikachus,
"Let's go, you sleep!"
Nini put away the anticipation on her face and turned to leave the room...
"Pikachu, no, didn't you hear the key point of the joke?"
Fortunately, the maid hasn't left yet, she understands me!
“… It suddenly occurred to me that I have a business event tomorrow and must go to bed early..."
After hesitating for two seconds, the maid got up from the sofa, ignored Pao Hui's complaining eyes, followed out of the room, and helped close the door very considerately by the way...
"It doesn't make sense, I... Is my laugh low?"
Cannon Hui was a little tangled.
The second joke, he laughed for half an hour!
I almost didn't catch my breath...
Forget it, go to sleep!
……
The film market in June has not changed much, and the introduction of films is dominant, "The Avengers" successfully took over "Titanic 3D", and then, "Men in Black 3" was released on May 25.
At that time, Will Smith was the first brother in the global box office!
Before the outbreak of the "Fast and Furious" series, when the Marvel Universe had not really established its leadership, Will Smith was called the Emperor, the main work, with a cumulative global box office of $8 billion!
In all fairness, "Men in Black 3" can only be regarded as a passing grade, more than funny, special effects, and the story are completely stuck in the last century, but as a series, it still completed its task very well, with a North American box office of 179 million US dollars, ranking 14th at the North American box office in 2012, and the global revenue was close to 600 million US dollars.
The mainland box office reported 504 million...
Ruled the mainland market for more than 20 days!
As an aside, the male number one I was looking for at the beginning of the "Men in Black" series was David Humont, and Rose in "Friends"...
"Super Battleship" was also released at the same time, which also won a box office of 300 million yuan!
Damn, "Super Battleship" is a movie that promotes the old American soldiers, and the standard main theme: 'The US People's Liberation Army continues to fight alien Xiaoqiang, all the way to death!'
There is no plot at all, just like last year's "Battle for Los Angeles", a movie that purely shows special effects...
Most of the mainland audiences in 2012 were still in the stage of watching special effects...
Mainland movies have also been released, probably want to fight a bloody way between "Men in Black 3", "Fantastic Pirates", "Hugo", "The Avengers", "Snow White and Sunglasses and Sunglasses"!
"Submarine Story 2", "Super Frog Warrior: Mighty Instructor", "One Night After Drunk", "Love Island", "Running Out of the Sky" Five domestic movies chose to be released on June 1st, the first two are domestic animations, I originally thought that I might be able to harvest a group of child audiences if I chose to release on June 1st, but unfortunately, it backfired, "Amazing Pirates", "Snow White and the Magic Mirror" are also anime...
As for the last three, there is probably no way to do it, with the attitude that it can be released...
"One Night After Drunk", in the name of the Chinese version of "The Hangover", unfortunately, I didn't dare to play the restricted level, the story was very bad, as a bad movie, there were no bright spots;
"Love Island", very disappointing, Chen Chong, Ren Dahua, Wu Zhenyu, Zhang Zhen, Song Jia, a group of good actors brought the audience a non-mainstream movie, by the way, the director and screenwriter of "Love Island" is called Gan Guoliang, known as the first screenwriter of TVB in the 80s, alas...
As for "Running Out of the Sky", it is a children's public welfare movie, purely from this point of view, such a movie should still be screened in cinemas...
There is a movie that has to be mentioned, "Segek Bale"...
Wei Desheng is of course a very good director, "Sedek Bale" has been put on the big screen by him after ten years, with the success of "Haijiao No. 7", "Sedek Bale" is released with the hope of Taiwan's local films!
The investment is as high as 140 million yuan, which is converted into nearly 650 million Taiwan dollars!
With such a large-cost investment, it is impossible to expect the Taiwan market to recover its costs, in fact, the box office of "Saidek Bale" is NT$800 million, which has already made history.
Even then, it wasn't enough to pay for itself... Therefore, he put his hopes into the mainland market.
It's a pity that piracy has been rampant in the mainland, not only that, but the mainland version is two hours shorter than the original in Taiwan...
When it was released, it happened to collide with "The Avengers", and the box office was very poor, with a mainland box office of about 16 million...
Many people analyze the reason for the box office failure of this movie, in fact, the main reason is that "Sedek Bale" is not a commercial film, it is more like an author's movie!
A movie that satisfies Wei Desheng's personal preferences, he is very satisfied, but the market doesn't buy it much...
The mainland audience has no impression of the Wushe incident, and they are not too concerned about Taiwan's famous anti-Japanese incident.
The production process of this movie was full of ups and downs, sadness and joy, the director bet all the money and belongings earned from "Haijiao No. 7", and Zhou Jielun, Guo Taiming, Xu Ruoji and other friends were also raising money for this movie in the end. I believe that if you make a movie about the process of borrowing money from Zhou Jielun, you may be able to make a higher box office..."
The marketing methods are very inferior: a handful of snot and a handful of tears, saying how much money the director spends, how many people he drags down... The sensationalism is full of means and sympathy votes.
Why can't you attract investment? After all, it's not because the market doesn't trust you!
The translation is: "Our director has no ability, spends money like running water, and drags people everywhere..."
In ordinary times, all kinds of coldness, laughing at mainlanders, and taking the bitter route when making money...
Whether a movie is a commercial film or not, whether it can be recognized by the market, the most basic element, the length!
The upper and lower parts are combined for four and a half hours!
"The director felt that he was reluctant to cut all the high-quality films, so he divided them into two parts..."
Well, you win!
Another key point, the title!
"Sedek Balai" really doesn't have a G-spot, it's very mysterious, but unfortunately, mainland audiences really don't understand what the meaning of such a name is, usually go to the cinema to watch movies, the two posters "Avengers" and "Sedek Balai", 99% of them will choose "The Avengers"...
If you can't even choose a name, you dare to mix in the mainland, and if you don't sell well, you can blame the quality of the people...
Do you think you are Cameron, and you can dominate the film industry with a casual "Avatar"?
Why don't you analyze "Charlotte's Troubles" as a failure in the Maotaiwan market? Oh, I almost forgot that "Charlotte" was not released in Taiwan at all, and people can only release ten mainland movies a year...
