Chapter 415: It's not one person anymore
Chapter 415 is no longer supported by one person
"National Day" is still being released, but although the box office of this movie cannot break the previous record set by Zhang Le, it is absolutely amazing. The film market is bound to suffer because of this film.
The film was released in early October, and because of its continuity, there was no problem with it being released for more than a month. It is estimated that it will be mid-November, and there is still more than a month before the Christmas schedule. But for more than a month, no one has given an accurate answer to whether the Chinese film market has been restored.
No one wants to take that risk.
After the release of a movie with a staggering box office, the subsequent box office of the film will definitely suffer. As for how long the impact lasts, it is undoubtedly related to its box office. The box office of the movie "National Day", coupled with the trend of the box office of the rest of the films, no one can be sure how long there will be a box office vacuum in the Chinese film market. After all, the Chinese film market has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, but it has not shown regularity.
The potential of the film market is affected by economic development, but it is not the only one. What's more, it is a film market with great personality in China.
Christmas is also a good schedule, especially Christmas in China, there will be many discount promotions, which makes the festive atmosphere a lot stronger, and fans will naturally be affected. What's more, a few days after Christmas is the New Year's Day, and the two holidays are still very large.
Of course, compared with the traditional Chinese festival of the Spring Festival, there is still a lot of difference. Even the number of days off can't be compared, let alone the festive atmosphere.
For various reasons, whether it is the crew of "Wolf Warrior" or the crew of "Men in Black", they all hope to put the schedule until the Spring Festival.
A good schedule will naturally affect the box office of the movie, there is no doubt about it.
The matter stabbed in front of Zhang Le, so naturally Zhang Le had to make a decision.
Zhang Le rarely participates in the management of the company, but has great authority in the company. This authority is not because he is the boss, but the people of Xinle Film and Television know that the company has developed today because of Zhang Le and because of Zhang Le's movies.
"Are the company's executives planning to let "Men in Black" be released first?" Zhang Le looked at the person in charge of the company who came to the crew and asked about him.
The person in charge was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly, and then said: "There are some differences among the company's top management, but most of them think that it is more beneficial for the company to release "Men in Black" first, and "Men in Black" will also be released overseas during Christmas. The global simultaneous release, after all, has a gimmick, and it can be used as a topic in publicity. Comparatively speaking, "Wolf Warrior" is much less international. It is more appropriate for such a movie to be released when the Chinese festival atmosphere is strong. ”
Zhang Le nodded, the reason why he guessed such a result was that under the same conditions, the company's top management would definitely support "Men in Black", in addition to the greater investment in this movie, but also because the director of this movie is Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao is Zhang Le's best friend, and he is much more famous than the director of "Wolf Warrior", at least there are many film works that can be mastered. And Liu Meng, the director of "Wolf Warrior", used to shoot TV series.
Of course, it is mainly because of the relationship between Tang Xiao and Zhang Le.
"Wolf Warrior" and "Men in Black" are two movies, Zhang Le has seen the finished films. The two movies can't talk about who is better, after all, the genre is different. However, both movies achieved the effect Zhang Le wanted.
"Wolf Warrior" is a military-themed movie, and it is naturally impossible to be as popular with foreign fans as science fiction movies in the world. Moreover, the military movies of Great China have extremely strong characteristics, which is not pleasing internationally.
Although, because of Zhang Le's military background, "Wolf Warrior" is much larger than the one in his previous life, and it can even be said to be doubled, but compared with those military-themed movies abroad, it is indeed inferior. Moreover, the film itself is limited by the setting. It doesn't put it directly on the battlefield like a Hollywood military movie.
The background of the movie is not on the battlefield, and the scale is not much bigger.
And "Men in Black" is different, the movie itself is adapted from a Hollywood movie in the previous life, and it has strong Western characteristics. Whether in terms of genre or content, "Men in Black" is more international than "Wolf Warrior".
As for the person in charge's mouth using the gimmick of simultaneous global release to make the topic, this is undoubtedly a good way to publicize.
Nowadays in China, except for Zhang Le's movies, which are almost released simultaneously worldwide, it is difficult for the rest of the movies to be released simultaneously around the world. If it can be released simultaneously around the world, it will undoubtedly give people a very bullish feeling.
"Then let "Men in Black" be released first!" Zhang Le then clapped his hands and said. "Director Tang's side?" The person in charge asked tentatively. The words were not finished, but Zhang Le naturally knew what he was trying to express.
"Huh?" Zhang Le frowned, and then asked, "In the matter of competing for the schedule, Tang Xiao's guy is also involved?" ”
"Oh, that's not it." The person in charge said embarrassedly.
"Go ahead!" Zhang Le waved his hand and said. The meaning is self-evident, since he is not involved, naturally he does not need to explain anything, not to mention that Zhang Le does not believe that Tang Xiao will participate in such a thing.
Tang Xiao is Zhang Le's sworn friend, but he doesn't have any arrogance in the company, and he even knocked Feng Lei and asked him to abide by the company's system.
In a sense, Feng Lei in the company caused trouble for Zhang Le, but Tang Xiao was the opposite.
Of course, although Feng Lei is special in the company from time to time, those are harmless, they really involve the authority of the company, Feng Lei is much better than those artists who play big names.
Of course, there are almost no artists who dare to play big names in Xinle Film and Television. In the past, there was a big star who signed a contract, and he thought he was amazing, and he was known by Zhang Le after playing a big name a few times, and he directly asked him to get out, and he didn't release any rumors that he would ban him, but now that person has disappeared in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Le didn't have anything to suppress him, but the entertainment industry was so big, knowing that he offended Zhang Le, there were fewer and fewer people who corresponded with him. This is enough of Zhang Le's influence in the circle.
Regarding the Christmas release of "Men in Black", Tang Xiao naturally will not say anything, let alone be dissatisfied. He cleared himself that he didn't have Zhang Le's ability to promote, and he didn't have a clear understanding of the release of the movie at all.
Zhang Le filmed his new film, and the company also increased its publicity for "Men in Black".
In mid-November, "National Day" was drawn, and the global box office statistics came out, although it did not break Zhang Le's previous record, but it also had an amazing box office. The domestic box office reached 2.7 billion, equivalent to nearly 400 million US dollars. The box office in North America is nearly 500 million, and the total box office in Europe and Southeast Asia exceeds 500 million US dollars. The overseas box office is nearly one billion US dollars, the global box office is nearly 1.4 billion US dollars, and the equivalent of Chinese dollars is nearly 10 billion.
Zhang Le once again showed his unparalleled dominance at the box office. Today, it is estimated that no director in the world dares to say that he can surpass Zhang Le in the total box office. Now Zhang Le's global box office has opened a big distance to the second place.
Perhaps some international commercial directors do not lose much to Zhang Le at the box office in their films, but Zhang Le is far behind in terms of output.
There is no doubt that Xinle Film and Television made a lot of money again with Zhang Le's movie. But after the release of movies such as "Men in Black", everyone suddenly discovered that Xinle Film and Television was no longer the only one to support Zhang Le.
This support is not only in China, but also in the world.
No one thought that "Men in Black" directed by Tang Xiao would achieve so great results internationally, nor did they expect that foreign fans would love "Men in Black" so much. (To be continued.) )
