On March 21, the box office of "Battle of Vulcan" exceeded 200 million in two days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to this trend, there is basically no problem for the total box office of this Hollywood blockbuster to exceed 1 billion, and it is normal to reach 12 or 300 million, but it is not easy to get higher, such as 1.5 billion.

After two days of release, the word-of-mouth of "The Battle of Vulcan" on the Internet has shown a two-level trend, and those who like it think that the special effects of this movie are very good, the plot is exciting, and the climax is continuous from the beginning to the end, which is completely worth the ticket price.

The evaluation of "Battle of Vulcan" by disliked audiences is a typical popcorn-style Hollywood blockbuster, except for the special effects battle scenes, the others are not worth mentioning, and the storyline is full of loopholes, which is nothing more than a strong enough excitement to give people.

And similar blockbusters, everyone has seen a lot, and there is not much novelty.

Leaving aside those positive comments, just saying these negative words actually reflects a problem faced by Hollywood films in China, that is, the homogenization of the introduction of blockbusters is serious, and the pursuit of special effects is too much and ignores the plot and character building, just like a delicious dish for the audience, sprinkled with MSG.

Young people are relatively more fond of it, and they are also the main moviegoers of this kind of Hollywood blockbuster.

Of course, there is no shortage of real masterpieces in Hollywood movies, but it is difficult for films with literary and artistic trends to be introduced into China, and the box office after introduction is often very poor, and they are not treated by theaters.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the state's protection policy for domestic films, that Hollywood blockbusters have certainly had a huge impact and impact on the domestic film market, and domestic films have also occupied a place in the past decade.

However, youth idol films and popular IP movies, which are the main markets in China, are also facing serious problems of homogenization, making the domestic film market more and more popular, and the prospects are also confusing.

Lu Chen led Chenfei Media, and if he wanted to seize territory in this huge market, strength, connections, luck and opportunities were indispensable.

As a newcomer to the film industry, he is not favored by many insiders.

At 8 p.m. on March 26, Yiwang, one of the largest portals in China, broadcast the variety entertainment program "Weekly Movie Talk" on time, which involved Lu Chen and "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"With the further opening of the domestic film market, the number of Hollywood blockbusters entering the country will further increase in the future, and the domestic film protection month will eventually be canceled..."

"In recent years, Japanese and Korean films have sprung up, and many excellent works have been introduced into China, forming a trend of encirclement of domestic films, so the situation is very grim, and the market share may be further compressed!"

The guests sitting in the live broadcast room talked eloquently: "Therefore, if domestic films want to stand out from the encirclement, the key lies in the film production organization, domestic film companies need to become bigger and stronger, keep up with the international mainstream in technology, and the content needs to fit the domestic market and invest more money in development." ”

"Weekly Movie Talk" is one of the famous columns of Yiwang Video, which is broadcast once a week, and each issue will invite a well-known person in the film industry, such as directors, actors, producers, screenwriters, film critics, etc., to comment on the movies released this week, as well as predict the new films that will be released next week.

This show has a high click-through rate.

This issue of "Weekly Movie Talk" invited Wang Xiaoxu, a well-known columnist and film critic.

Wang Xiaoxu is not the first time to be on this show, and he is also very familiar with the host, and the degree of freedom of online programs is much higher than that of TV programs, so he speaks very openly and does not have too many scruples.

"This week's "Battle of Vulcan" has won 500 million box office, and it is inevitable to break through 1 billion, so we should see that the current successful Hollywood film companies are basically giants, and the number of small and medium-sized film companies is very small, and in contrast, our domestic film production units are many and scattered, which seems to be considerable in scale, but in fact, the strength of the individual is not strong enough, and it is naturally difficult to defeat the opponent. ”

The host nodded approvingly and said: "What you said is very reasonable, and two new domestic films will be released next week, one is "Our Youth is Not Lonely", and the other is "A Chinese Ghost Story". ”

At the same time as the host introduced, the trailer clips of the two movies appeared on the big screen behind him.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think of these two new domestic films?"

Wang Xiaoxu turned his gaze back from the screen and said: "I have seen all the trailers of these two new films, needless to say, "Our Youth Is Not Lonely" is still a youth idol film, judging from the trailer, there are not many fresh routines, and the box office should be there, after all, this movie market has always been there. ”

"As for the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story"..."

He shook his head.

The host is sensitive: "You are not optimistic?"

Wang Xiaoxu said with a smile: "It's not very optimistic, the reason is very simple, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a fantasy ghost film adapted from the story of "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", and "Painted Skin" of the same type has been released on the 14th, and the box office is only more than 40 million now. ”

""Painted Skin" is larger than "A Chinese Ghost Story" in terms of cast and investment, and there are more special effects shots, and in the end, even the cost cannot be recovered, which shows that the audience does not like films with this theme, coupled with the high film rate of "Battle of Vulcan", "A Chinese Ghost Story" will not perform better than "Painted Skin". ”

The host has a different opinion: "Mr. Wang, as far as I know, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released in Xiangjiang and had a box office of over 100 million, and the reputation and box office are better than "Painted Skin"!"

Wang Xiaoxu disagreed: "The situation in Xiangjiang is very different from that in China, the audience there prefers ghost movies, and when "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released, there were no Hollywood blockbusters in the same period, and..."

After a pause, he said: "And the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has exceeded 100 million... It is said that the peripheral products have sold tens of millions, and to be honest, I don't believe in this. ”

Wang Xiaoxu's suspicion of the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Xiangjiang, although he did not say it directly, the expression written on his face can be known to anyone at a glance.

Probably feeling that this topic was too sensitive, the host hurriedly changed the topic: "Then Mr. Wang, what do you think of the recent film market..."

……

On the morning of the second day when "Weekly Movie Talk" was broadcast online, Lu Chen watched it in the office.

Originally, Lu Chen didn't know that there was this show, but his fans and show guest Wang Xiaoxu fought on the Wave Blog, which made a lot of noise!
