Chapter Twenty-Six: Hello Guan

The topic naturally leads to "American Team 2", and there is no doubt that "Interstellar" is the biggest opponent in North America is "American Team 2"

"American Team 2" broke the opening record for April in North America last weekend with $96.2 million, which is simply terrifying!

However, fortunately, the follow-up box office of Marvel superhero movies is not too long-lasting, and the stamina is relatively insufficient. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"American Team 2" was no exception, and the film eventually grossed $280 million in North America.

"Why do you ask, of course I love superhero movies!"

Shen Lin deliberately avoided the topic of "American Team 2".

No way, "Team America 2" has a popcorn index of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes and a media freshness of 79%, almost setting a new high for Marvel movies.

The good news is that superhero movies have been a bit flooded in recent years, and the phenomenon of weak viewing has appeared!

And the audience of "Interstellar" does not overlap too much with the audience of "American Team 2".

"Interstellar involves professional physics knowledge, do you study physics?"

"No, I didn't even go to college! The wormholes and black holes involved in this are all Kip Thorne of Caltech!"

"Could this be an obscure movie?"

"Hehe, how is it possible, I didn't even go to college!"

"Well, this is an original sci-fi movie, I hope you like it!"

Jimmy Fat Lun didn't continue to ask questions, but focused on the original!

Quite simply, compared to film adaptations or sequels, in Hollywood, the foundation of original films will undoubtedly be weaker.

The most obvious example is that Hollywood, even now, has not had a single non-sequel original or non-adaptation grossing the $100 million mark in North America in its opening weekend.

The highest North American opening weekend box office for an original film to date was James Cameron's "Avatar" with more than $70 million.

Let's take a look at the box office rankings in the first weekend, Yishui's adaptations and sequel films.

"You're Chinese, tell us about China! Wow! Your popularity in China is extraordinary, you made four movies that cost less than $60 million, but won nearly $1 billion at the box office?"

"Well, the majority of Chinese moviegoers tend to be younger, and my films are to their tastes, so 'Dallas Buyers Club' grossed only $30 million at the box office in the Middle East. ”

"Dallas Buyers Club", even with the double halo of the Oscar for Best Picture and directed by Shen Lin, the box office still stopped at 220 million.

Every viewer who has seen a movie will give a thumbs up, but a feature film is always a feature film, and it can't be compared with other movies directed by Shen Lin!

"Then what do you think is the biggest difference between Chinese movies and American movies?"

"The biggest difference? I think it's the age of movie-watching, North American audiences have good movie-watching habits, Chinese audiences still need our guidance, many people are reluctant to go to the cinema to watch movies, this should be the biggest difference!"

"I thought you would say the film industry or something. ”

"As long as there is a market, the film industry will develop rapidly!"

"Okay, now I'll give you a benefit, do we want to ask Director Shen Lin on the spot?"

Audiences in North America love to interact with the guests, and being in the limelight seems to be a brand imprinted on them!

"Well, this young... Are you Chinese?"

Jimmy Fatren casually clicked on a young man who had raised his hand, and when he stood up, he realized that it was an Asian.

"Jimmy, hello, my name is Ah Guan, and I am Chinese. ”

Shen Lin suddenly asked, "Do you speak Chinese?"

"A little!"

Okay, Shen Lin nodded and motioned for Fei Lun to continue asking questions.

"You can ask any questions you want!"

"Shen Lin, I like your movies very much, I have watched "Veteran" many times, but my father doesn't like it very much, he thinks you should make some movies like myths and legends, such as "Fengshen Bang" and "Journey to the West"

Ah Guan speaks English.

"What your father said makes a lot of sense, I'll think about it, by the way, do you have any special Chinese myths and stories that you like?"

"Yes, I like "Baolian Lantern" very much"

Ah Guan was a little excited.

"The Lotus Lantern?"

I'll go, a second-generation Chinese actually likes such a part-of-the-way "Baolian Lantern"?

Incompetence in understanding!

"Ahem... I'm all my mother, my mother is all I have, and I'm not happy when my mother suffers..."

Ah Guan sang very abruptly!

Shen Lin was a little dumbfounded, raised his right hand and pinched his own middle hard, holding back a smile.

"Okay! I know, I'll think about it!"

Teacher Pang Long will thank you, really!

Ah Guan was a little unsatisfied: "I will still sing the theme song, thinking about you for three hundred and sixty-five days..."

You win, really!

It's so easy, Ah Guan's scene has passed, and Fei Lun looked at Shen Lin who was a little embarrassed: "Let's continue to talk about movies!"

“OK!”

As long as you don't sing, it's easy to say anything!

"Then you can rate "Captain America 2"!"

If according to the logic of domestic thinking, when facing this kind of problem, Shen Lin had better remain modest, praise his competitors for two sentences, and then belittle his "Interstellar" for two sentences in a timely manner, otherwise he will inevitably attract criticism.

However, this is America!

Proper modesty is necessary, but it must not be too modest, once you are too modest, you will be seen as weak and unconfident, especially in the highly competitive Hollywood.

"American Team 2" is the biggest competitor!

must step on it a few times, otherwise, others will really bully him.

""Team America 2" has been released in China, but I won't watch it, the whole Marvel series of big movies, except for "The Avengers", I may go to the cinema to watch the movie in person, the rest just need to understand it, anyway, the plot can be connected!"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and after a while, there was applause.

Even Jimmy Fat Lun looked at Shen Lin with a look of surprise: "You said what I want the most... No, what I want to say in a test tube!"

Spreading out his hands, Shen Lin shrugged his shoulders again, and interacted with the audience with a wordless expression.

"It seems that I am not the only one who thinks so, I thought that only most Chinese audiences had this kind of mentality, but I didn't expect North American audiences to think the same way!"

Marvel has been committed to the development of various heroes in recent years, saying that it is to create the Marvel Universe, to put it bluntly, the drama is to make money!

These are objective facts, and no one can refute them!

"And what do you think of Chris Evans' acting?"

"Are you kidding?"

Well, the second flaw of superheroes is that they don't need acting skills!
