Chapter 142 was filmed (for) foreigners

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" not only did not have the embarrassing scene of cold and hot in the previous life, but it was more hot than abroad. won more than 60 million box office on the first day of release, directly breaking the box office record of the first day in China. And the next day, there was still a box office of 50 million.

The box office of more than 100 million yuan in two days immediately stimulated other fans. However, in terms of sustainability, it seems that it is not much worse than North America.

In North America, due to the increase in theaters and publicity, the box office has increased significantly, and it occupied the weekly box office championship with a box office of more than 30 million in the first week. In the second week, it reached 40 million.

In China, the box office exceeded 100 million yuan in the first two days, but it fell directly to 30 million on the third day, 20 million on the fourth day, barely 20 million on the fifth day, and 20 million on the sixth and seventh days. The box office in a week was more than 220 million, but the first two days accounted for half of it.

The box office of 220 million a week broke the record of the first week of domestic film release, but the downward trend was too fierce, and it also ushered in a lot of rumors.

The mainstream media's evaluation of this film is diametrically opposed to the previous "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", which is almost unanimously praised, and the evaluation is very high. But on the Internet, it is also diametrically opposed to "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".

The statement on the Internet does not mean that there are many of this film, and even countless people praise this film as a classic. But it's not good-looking, I don't like it. Zhang Le's fans directly made a difference between Zhang Le's three films, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has the highest evaluation, but the degree of liking is the lowest, and it is pitifully low.

The reason why the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the first two days was so high was obviously attracted by the film's achievements abroad, but after watching it, it was not satisfactory, and it was inevitable that the box office would decline. What's more, the potential of the Chinese film market is only so great.

It's not good, it's not that the film is badly made. There is only one reason why it is not good-looking: I don't like it!

Classic films, do the audience like them? Apparently not. Many classic films are not as good at the box office as some bad movies. Not all fans are masters.

There are too few fans who think about life after watching a movie. Too many movie fans are just like reading online novels, just throw away the addiction!

This may be the reason why so many small and big films are almost all comedies. There are too many audiences, and watching movies is in vain.

There are too few people who want to understand life from movies and think about the future. There are too few people who want to be moved by movies and gain strength.

Too many fans of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" didn't understand it, and they didn't have the heart to understand him. Perhaps, there is another important reason, this martial arts film is too different from the previous martial arts films and the martial arts films in everyone's minds.

Too many people watch martial arts movies just to satisfy their own lust, what they want to watch is the chic of masters fighting swords and rivers and lakes, chivalrous and righteous, or adventures, learning powerful martial arts, and then taking revenge. Instead of looking at the rivers and lakes, it is not about thinking about people's desires after looking after.

The box office in North America declined in the third week, although it was replaced by a Hollywood blockbuster that replaced the weekly box office champion, but it still won the box office of 30 million strongly, successfully breaking 100 million. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also became the first Chinese-language film to break $100 million at the North American box office.

The daily box office in China continued to be more than 10 million in the second week, and after a week, the box office just broke 100 million, and the total box office exceeded 300 million. This once again came as a surprise to many.

When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released, the box office trend was too fierce, and countless people thought that this film might break the record of "Waiting for the Return" and become the highest-grossing domestic film. But at this time, it seems that it is already very good for this film to break 500 million.

It was too different from what I expected at the beginning, and many people couldn't accept it. Among them is Yang Xin'er, but there is no Zhang Le.

"How so?" Yang Xin'er looked at Zhang Le with some incomprehension.

She was full of anticipation, but now she was a little happy and sad.

"Isn't that normal?" Zhang Le smiled and said.

"Normal? Is this normal? broke 100 million in two days, but only had a box office of 500 million in one month, which is normal? The box office of 100 million in two days means that there are 400 million box office in 28 days. Yang Xin'er frowned and looked at Zhang Le. She didn't understand why Zhang Le wasn't a little frustrated.

"Have you ever thought that a martial arts film would have a box office of 500 million?" Zhang Le smiled and asked.

"Oh." Yang Xin'er was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Le, and then said, "But the investment in this film is so much more than that of "Crazy Stone" and "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", but the box office is about the same. Well, I was blindfolded by the box office for the first two days. No wonder you were so surprised when you learned the box office data of the top two, but you had a sudden feeling when you saw the box office decline. ”

"This film makes a lot more money than the first two." Zhang Le smiled and said.

"That's right!" Yang Xin'er nodded, not to mention how much money those countries in Europe got for buying copyrights, in terms of the box office share in North America, there are hundreds of millions of yuan, and it is indeed the most profitable movie after deducting the cost.

And the most money this film makes is not money, but fame.

With this film, Zhang Le's status in the director circle can be said to have risen rapidly. In the film, both the actors and other staff members have improved their status in the circle. And this is undoubtedly because of the great influence of this film.

"However, the box office of this film has declined rapidly, and there have been many unfavorable reviews on the Internet, among which the most influential is when this film is made for foreigners." Yang Xin'er seemed to remember something, and then said.

"Taken for foreigners?" Zhang Le looked at Yang Xin'er with some surprise, then smiled and said, "Are you praising me or scolding me?" ”

"Do you think the unfavorable comments will be complimented on you?" Yang Xin'er glanced at her and said.

"Taken for foreigners? That's when they are saying that I use Chinese movies to make money from foreigners and export Chinese culture. Don't you think that's great? Zhang Le smiled and said, "Actually, I have always had a wish, that is, to make my own movies to make money from foreigners." The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" not only made foreigners money, but also made many people who make a living from tourism make foreigners' money. ”

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" caused a sensation abroad, and the beautiful scenery in the movie stunned countless foreigners, and there are many people who have come out of China to travel after watching the movie. The promotional effect of this film on the domestic tourism industry is definitely not negligible.

Filmed for foreigners, these words really made many fans disgusted with the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". was directly beaten into the ranks of worshipping foreign countries by some radical fans, and was even called for a boycott.

And no one thought that at this time, Yang Xin'er's micro. Bo directly triggered a new round of discussion, whether the director of Huaxia first satisfied the appetite of domestic fans, or to please the appetite of foreign fans?

And Yang Xin'er's day was micro. Bo just quoted Zhang Le's words: Make Chinese movies, win foreign awards, and make money from foreigners!
