0186 [Storyteller] Ask for the first booking and monthly pass

The box office battle in mid-May came to an end. "Painted Skin" leads the list with 30.22 million in North America, with 75 popular film critic ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, 63 passing, and a freshness of 84%, while well-known film critics scored 30 and 23 passed, with a freshness of 77%.

Among the top film critics, like Roger. Albert gave "Painted Skin" a satisfactory score, but unfortunately in recent years, Roger has been sick and has no interest in giving his thumbs up again, which makes Shao Shuaijun a little regretful.

On IMDB, "Painted Skin" has a rating of 7.7, which is the score that a qualified commercial film should have. The comprehensive score of yahoo is B+, which is a very good score. Critics and audiences were unanimous in their ratings, and they all agreed that it was a good movie.

In the eight days of release in Asia and North America, the box office of Painted Skin was all hot, including a total of 41.05 million US dollars in North America, and the mainland successfully broke through the 200 million yuan mark, refreshing the box office record of "33 Days of Broken Love" to break through 200 million yuan the fastest time, dominating the mainland box office. In Southeast Asia, about 40 million yuan was obtained. "Painted Skin" was a huge hit in Japan, winning nearly 700 million yen, or more than 50 million yuan.

In the first round of release, the global box office of "Painted Skin" was nearly 630 million, equivalent to more than 76 million US dollars, and it is about to break 100 million US dollars.

Achieving such results can really be described as the whole country jubilant, and the six investors have already begun to prepare for the celebration banquet in advance. CCTV reported the news for the first time, although "Hero" was the first mainland film to win the North American box office week. But the gold content of "Painted Skin" is obviously greater than that of "Hero", which is more worth bragging.

The domestic Internet is also full of applause, and it can kill Hollywood blockbusters such as "Mission Impossible 3" and "Poseidon", which makes all Chinese netizens proud, and then look back at other American films, and finally no longer hold a self-ashamed mentality, but raise their eyebrows.

What's wrong with Hollywood, domestic films still kill you in seconds, or in your territory!

Those who have good deeds have begun to summarize the success factors of "Painted Skin". Among them, Tesla's Eye netizens of Time.com. Posted a technical post on the blog.

"Looking at the three blockbusters, we can make a clear comparison of the factors of success or failure at the box office."

First, cost. The total cost of "Poseidon" is $160 million. "Mission Impossible 3" costs $150 million. "Painted Skin" costs $60 million.

Article 2. Special effect. is also a burning special effect, "Poseidon" has the most special effects shots, followed by "Mission Impossible 3". "Painted Skin" is the least.

Article 3: Publicity. "Mission Impossible 3" has the reputation of the first two high-grossing films. Cruise's box office appeal. "Poseidon" is a shipwreck film that is claimed to be bigger than the Titanic. Both of these have strong publicity and are known all over the world. "Painted Skin", according to incomplete estimates, was limited to China and a few regions in Asia before its release.

Fourth, lineups. "Mission Impossible 3" has Tom, and "Poseidon" has Wolfgang. Peterson, "Painted Skin", nothing. You want to ask Shao Shuaijun? I'm sorry, but even Chinese Americans don't necessarily know about him. As for Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun? They are no different from the Chinese tourists on the streets.

Fifth, the story. "Mission Impossible 3" tells the theme of secret agents, and the first two have already argued, and this theme is very attractive. "Poseidon" tells the theme of disaster, disaster movies have always been an attractive theme, and "Titanic" demonstrates the possibility of success. "Painted Skin" tells the love story between humans and demons, well, if it is classified as a love theme, it does have a head, the key is that this is the main monster theme. Americans know Spider-Man, they know vampires, but as for vixens, can they eat them?

Based on the above five articles, it can be concluded that whether it is cost, special effects, publicity, main creative lineup or story theme, "Painted Skin" does not have an advantage. But in the end, "Painted Skin" won the box office championship. It's hard to believe if you don't watch the movie, but after watching the movie, you understand.

No matter how beautiful the packaging is, if there is no real material, it is just a package.

The story of "Painted Skin" is compact and has various commercial selling points, but it does not pursue selling points one-sidedly, but focuses on storytelling. The special effects at the end are only embellishments, not dominance, and from beginning to end, the story is complete and readable, successfully shaping the personalities of the characters.

Goofs can be seen everywhere in "Mission Impossible 3", and "Poseidon" has no idea what to talk about. There is a story but you don't tell it with your heart, thinking that a few hot scenes with full selling points can make money, and while fooling the audience, the audience will also abandon you. It's like a primary school student who has been on vacation for a month, and when school is about to start, he finds that he hasn't written any homework, so he immediately takes out his homework book and picks out a few key points and scribbles them, thinking that he can get through the test.

In the end, it was your own foot that was smashed. So, the success of "Painted Skin" is, in my opinion, the success of the director.

A director who tells a story with heart is the key to the success of a movie.

"The storyteller Li Yu has the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Brokeback Mountain", and on the contrary, it is the failure of "Hulk". This truth deserves the attention of all directors. ”

Tesla's Eye is the earliest registered user of Time.com, and it is also the first batch of star users, and their movie review analysis is recognized by the majority of users. Even newspapers have published their opinions from time to time, and as soon as this post came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention, with more than tens of thousands of people liking "useful".

"Beijing Entertainment Letter" simply asked Tesla Eye for a manuscript and published it as soon as possible.

"The director of the storyteller - Shao Shuaijun!"

This is the new title given to Shao Shuaijun by the domestic media, which seems to be bland and not domineering at all, but it is extremely high praise. The director can take the commercial route and the literary route, but in the final analysis, a movie is a story. No director can boast of telling a story, and this requires a good performance at the box office and humanistic care.

Shao Shuaijun has always prided himself as a commercial director, and others also see him from a commercial perspective. Although the box office is getting crazier and crazier every time, those who are deeply affected by the so-called humanistic care are still full of contempt for him, thinking that he is full of copper smell. The movies that come out are all shit kitsch films.

Now, "Painted Skin" has won glory for the Chinese people and defeated the blockbuster Hollywood in the film kingdom. No matter how harsh people are, they don't dare to say that Shao Shuaijun is shooting shit, otherwise he will be spurned by tens of thousands of people.

Shao Shuaijun's general trend has been achieved, and he has jumped out of the framework of domestic directors and stood on the world stage.

……

Knowing that he was named the "director of storytelling", Shao Shuaijun immediately posted a letter of thanks on his blog: "Thank you for your love, I can't say that I can tell stories, I can only say that I will tell stories with my heart, I will do it in the past, I will do it now, and I will do it in the future!" (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you for the tipping from the people of Silver Ingot Mountain.
