Chapter 098: It's time for domestic movies to grow

Children's Day has just passed, and the enthusiasm has swept the whole of China from south to north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the first week of June, the second week of the release of "Civil War" in China, the weekly box office declined, but it still collected 700 million with a box office of nearly 100 million in a single day, pushing the total box office of "Civil War" to a new height of 170 million!

In the second week of June, the third week of the release of "Civil War", it once again won more than 700 million at the box office, making the total box office of "Civil War" in China exceed 2 billion in one fell swoop, ranking second in the history of Chinese film box office, second only to "Meng Jiangnu".

Thanks to the amazing performance of "War between Men and Women" in the Chinese film market, the global box office of "Civil War" successfully exceeded 1.6 billion US dollars, ranking eighth in the global film box office list.

In mid-June, "Civil War" entered its fourth week in Chinese cinemas, and the momentum was still fierce.

But people in the Chinese film industry couldn't sit still at all.

"Director Zhang is dead! 》”

Zong Qingfeng, who is known as a master of the director industry in the Chinese film industry, and is certified as the vice chairman of the National Directors Association and a national first-class director on Weibo, publicly released a headline article and publicly bombarded Director Zhang.

"Once upon a time, the young director who had high artistic value because of "Alive" and "The Red Lantern Lifts High" is gone!"

"Once, the leader who started the Chinese commercial blockbuster, Director Zhang, is completely dead!"

"Once, Director Zhang, who was known as a master director, has passed away!"

"As a Chinese master director, he didn't know the importance of protecting the Chinese film industry, and he was confused by money, and became an accomplice of Hollywood blockbusters invading the Chinese film market......"

"The Chinese film market has just been formed since the end of the nineties of the last century, twenty years ago, far less than the Hollywood film industry that has been completely industrialized and streamlined. A certain movie with a good reputation can also stop at 500 million, and the theater scheduling rate fell directly below 10% in the second week of release, and it seems that it is still one step away from recovering the cost, which is the cruel phenomenon of Chinese movies and their sadness! ”

"The so-called 'master' director in your mouth has deviated from the motherland where he was born and raised, and has become an accomplice to Hollywood blockbusters, and there is a fierce ...... that will never give up if he does not completely trample on the Chinese film industry"

"Director Zhang is dead, please consciously boycott the "Civil War" in China, I sincerely appeal to the relevant departments of the state to block it as soon as possible! Block "Civil War" and ban this traitor who betrayed Chinese movies! ”

“……”

When Zong Qingfeng, a leading figure in the directorial industry, publicly bombarded Director Zhang in an online post, his apprentices and grandchildren, as well as other film industry personalities who suffered heavy losses during the release of "Civil War" came out one after another.

While forwarding it, they concocted the same article to bombard Director Zhang in the same way, and some even launched a joint letter to report to the central government.

For a while, the entire online world was uproared by this group of people in the film industry who publicly bombarded Director Zhang.

Under their instigation, a group of melon-eating masses with arrears of IQ really organized a 'reversal' movement, and after the manipulation of some people hiding behind it, a big battle was created in just two days.

"Let me show you what the truth is!"

Today's moviegoers have long learned not to blindly follow, and those so-called bigwigs in the film industry who thought they would stand up and respond to all calls were soon slapped in the face.

A netizen who can't stand it lists the domestic movies released in May and June one by one, and each movie is highlighted with production information such as directors, producers, and investment companies.

Without exception, those who are the most popular on the Internet are all listed.

The catty in this is obvious.

In May and June, which was originally called the 'Chinese Film Protection Month', the Chinese film industry often takes the opportunity to release a large number of shoddy movies that are obviously flooded in an attempt to make money.

But in this year's Chinese Film Protection Month, it ushered in super-level movie productions such as the Hollywood blockbuster "Civil War", which not only swept away these garbage movies that tried to make money and deceive movie audiences, but also caused heavy losses to investors behind the scenes.

These so-called tycoon-level predecessors, who have already exuded a decadent atmosphere in the Chinese film industry, while their hearts are dripping with blood, they suddenly became angry when they glanced at the production information of "Civil War".

Good guy, but it was Director Zhang, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who betrayed the organization, which can't be tolerated!

What's more, he broke the tacit understanding of the Huaxia film market, made them suffer heavy losses, and while eating meat himself, he was unwilling to leave even a little soup to them, the big seniors in the industry, this cliff can't bear it!

If Director Zhang, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, completely wakes up the Chinese film industry, they, the old-timers who can't keep up with the situation of the times, are destined to be eliminated from the game, and this Nima can't bear it!

Although many people understand the greasyness, most of the blindly obedient melon-eating masses still follow behind these Weibo big Vs and shout, making the Internet smoky.

But most of the silent people quickly slapped these film rotten people in the face with facts.

In mid-June, in the fourth week of its release, "Civil War" collected 600 million box office, pushing the cumulative box office of "Civil War" in the Chinese film market to a height of 3 billion, and it looked like "Meng Jiangnu" was about to be killed.

At this time, the scheduling rate of "Civil War" in the Chinese cinema line was still as high as 35%, still ranking first in the scheduling rate of the same period.

And what makes those rotten people in the Chinese film industry even more disappointed is that "Civil War" was released in the name of a Sino-US joint venture co-production, and it was not at all restricted by the restriction that "Hollywood blockbusters can only be released for one month", and it entered the fifth week smoothly.

Halfway through the fifth week, the box office of "Civil War" successfully surpassed that of "Civil War", reaching 3.6 billion, and climbing up with an average increase of nearly 40 million in a single day.

At this moment, some people in the Chinese film industry who have been silent can't sit still.

Under their instigation, one after another 'inverted' declarations and disputes soon spread from the Internet to the real world.

"Director Zhang has become the biggest culprit of Hollywood blockbusters destroying the Chinese film industry, he can push the box office of Chinese movies to the height of "Meng Jiangnu", and he can also personally erect a stone monument that is pressed on the Chinese film industry, that is, "Civil War"!"

"I call on the official film institutions of China to completely abolish the criminal policy of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep in Sino-US co-productions, and implement the protection of the Chinese film industry!"

"The Civil War galloped all the way in the traditional Chinese Film Protection Month, completely killing the new hope of the Chinese film industry!"

"One day, the audience of the Huaxia Film Market will regret today's choice, when the Huaxia Film Market is flooded with Hollywood blockbusters, our country's film industry is completely dead......"

“……”

On a certain satellite TV's debate program, a so-called veteran in the film industry openly made remarks bombarding Director Zhang on the TV station.

"Recently, the Film Directors Branch of the National Directors Association held a meeting, and under the chairmanship of Zong Qingfeng, vice chairman of the National Directors Association and chairman of the Film Directors Association, the meeting passed the decision to remove Director Zhang from the list and completely remove Director Zhang from the Film Directors Association!"

"However, the decision was temporarily shelved by the National Directors Guild, but on the official website of the Film Directors Guild, Director Zhang, a member of the association and originally named as the vice chairman of the Film Directors Guild, was removed......"

"The Film Directors Association jointly issued a public declaration, saying that Director Zhang has a problem with his personality and continues to direct film works, which will bring a greater impact to the Chinese film market, and will submit a joint letter, hoping to ban Director Zhang ...... at the national level"

“……”

Seeing the outcry on the Internet, it was impossible to resist the huge prestige that "Civil War" brought to Director Zhang, and Zong Qingfeng, a tycoon in the film industry, quickly used his power to try to block Director Zhang from the official level.

Some of the disciples and grandchildren who followed him quickly launched their own connections, bombarded Director Zhang on major television stations and well-known newspapers and magazines, and instructed his subordinates to carry out malicious smears.

"Director Zhang violated the national fertility policy and gave birth, and its impact was extremely bad!"

"Director Zhang's studio has tax evasion!"

"Director Zhang is suspected of unsubtly controlling a certain actress in a certain movie work, causing her to become pregnant and have a fetus!"

"Director Zhang has already taken a U.S. green card and turned into an American!"

“……”

For a time, the major media became a channel for these disciples to attack Director Zhang, and there was a lot of noise throughout the country, making Director Zhang the target of everyone's shouting.

"Civil War" was released in China for the sixth week, and the cumulative box office exceeded 400 million, officially ending the journey of the Chinese cinema line.

With a box office contribution of more than 800 million US dollars, the global box office of "Civil War" exceeded 2.6 billion US dollars, pushing Director Zhang to the position of an international director in one fell swoop and rising to the Hollywood $2 billion box office directors club.

At this point, the global release of "Civil War" came to a successful end, and the two Hollywood giants MGM and Warner Bros. became the biggest winners.

Tencent Pictures, on the other hand, has also gained momentum and has become the third winner after the two Hollywood giants.

Speaking of China alone, more than 40% of the box office revenue, that is, the box office share of 1.6 billion belongs to the distributor, Tencent Pictures can take 1.6 billion yuan of the profit share according to 10% of the profit, deducting the 5 million US dollars of publicity and distribution investment, and make a net profit of 130 million.

In addition, the North American market contributed more than half of the box office revenue of "Civil War", up to one billion dollars, and the remaining 800 million dollars came from all over the world.

The billion-dollar box office in the North American market, which belongs to the distributors, that is, MGM and Warner Bros., is 400 million US dollars, and Tencent Pictures can take 20 million US dollars, that is, 120 million yuan, according to a 5% box office share!

However, MGM and Warner Bros. earned more in China, earning more than $200 million, which is far more than ten million times stronger than the previous buyout!

Tencent Pictures, which made a lot of money, felt the wealth for the first time.

Then during the release of "Civil War", Tencent Pictures, which was maliciously attacked by the Chinese film industry, no longer had to swallow its anger.

Without hesitation, under the instructions of Bai Yiji, Tencent Pictures took the lead in counterattacking, using evidence such as defamation and slander of newspapers and magazines such as "Imperial Capital Time" to sue several well-known newspapers and magazines in court.

Not only that, Tencent Pictures also collected materials and screenshots of online remarks, and sued Zong Qingfeng and other so-called seniors in the film industry to the court in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Director Zhang's studio also followed up and launched more than a dozen lawsuits.

All of a sudden, the entire Chinese entertainment industry fell into turmoil because of the attacks of both sides, and artists continued to choose to stand in line, and artists kept making statements, and those who tried to be neutral were often scolded by both sides.

The Chinese entertainment market has also been invisibly disturbed.

"It's time for domestic movies to grow! 》”

Just when the situation in the Chinese entertainment market was about to deteriorate further, the central mouthpiece-level media "Zhimin Daily" finally issued a voice from the top.

"The Civil War undoubtedly shows the true strength of Hollywood blockbusters, so is this kind of display good or bad?"

"Some people say that the Chinese film market is still immature and needs a greater degree of protection; Some people say that protection will not allow the Chinese film market to gain more growth......"

"How Hollywood in North America grew up on the other side of the ocean, we can't see it exactly, but we can see it clearly in the Korean film market right in front of us. In the 90s of the last century, people in the Korean film industry were frightened by the crushing of the global film market for Hollywood blockbusters, and asked the government to intervene to take protective measures to restrict the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters, not only with quotas, but also with restrictions on the release time...... Does it feel exactly the same as the introduction of Hollywood blockbusters in China today? In this situation, the Korean film industry has gained a stable growth environment, but in the following ten years, the Korean film industry has been dancing in its own circle, but it has never produced internationally influential film works! ”

"This situation was not until the new president of South Korea, Roh Sun-moo, took office, and he broke South Korea's film protection policy in one fell swoop, and was determined to open the door for Hollywood blockbusters to enter the Korean market......

At that time, the Korean film industry was terrified, and when the domestic tigers in the zoo were accustomed to the zoo, they encountered real wild tigers, and they could only be swallowed up. When the Korean film industry rebelled and was strongly suppressed by President Roh Xuanwu, the Korean film industry did have a very sluggish period, but the Korean film counterparts did not completely decadent, but quickly adjusted their mentality and forced themselves to become stronger, and soon the Korean film industry regained its own market and brought excellent works to the Berlin International Film Festival, Cannes International Film Festival, Tokyo International Film Festival, and even the Oscar International Film Festival...... Since Korean film peers can catch up and regain their own market without losing the protection policy, why can't our Chinese domestic films? ”

"Colleagues of Chinese films, it's time for everyone to wake up, this global film market is always a winner-takes-all, and protection policies can't blindly exist......"

"Domestic movies, it's time to grow!"

With the final decision of the national central media, the turmoil in the entertainment industry quickly subsided because of the earthquake in the film industry caused by the Hollywood blockbuster "Civil War".

However, a certain extremely clear signal brought by the voice of the national media has completely awakened the hearts of Chinese film practitioners.

From now on, the domestic film protection month of the Chinese film market will completely withdraw from the historical stage in the near future......
