Chapter 645 Box Office Reversal

The premiere of Kung Fu Panda is over, Zhou Shaoming quietly left the theater, and Zhou Shaoming still has great expectations for this cartoon!

The box office results of the premiere are what Zhou Shaoming is most concerned about this time, and Zhou Shaoming is thinking about the box office results in his dreams at night! Indeed, this is very important for Zhou Shaoming!

Zhou Shaoming, who is already a gold medal director in Hollywood, has box office appeal for all to see, but Zhou Shaoming has more ideas in his heart!

That is, if he can succeed with the movie Kung Fu Panda, then, for another movie, Zhou Shaoming can shoot boldly!

After all, in terms of film investment and promotion, the production cost is not small, and the income of each movie is related to the company's performance this year.

Since finding the script of Iron Man, Zhou Shaoming has been trying constantly, under the products of Hollywood's high technology, the film industry will continue to develop to a level that people can't imagine, and the box office results are constantly refreshing!

The audience's tastes are also becoming more and more tricky, they not only want to see a tight plot, but also shocking scenes, in the theater just for light!

For the audience's more and more requirements, Zhou Shaoming, as a director, is constantly looking for more breakthroughs, firmly grasping the audience's attention, and letting the audience come to the theater, after watching his own movie, not only like his own movie, but also hope that in the movie, the audience can see more things!

After the relaxing movie, the audience's life not only becomes colorful, but also hopes that the audience can firmly remember the growth history of the protagonist.

And Kung Fu Panda is such a movie, such a movie, but also under a lot of pressure. Zhou Shaoming just started this shooting plan!

The investment cost is too high and the returns are not optimistic, all of which are factors for the movie theater, but under Zhou Shaoming's insistence, Zhou Shaoming still persuaded people from all walks of life!

Until after the premiere, Zhou Shaoming, who wanted to know the results of the premiere, couldn't fall asleep in bed at night! After a night's rest, Zhou Shaoming opened his eyes and soon came to the company.

Zhou Shaoming immediately said to Benjamin: "Ben." Have the box office results of the premiere come out? ”

Benjamin immediately took the information into Zhou Shaoming's hands. Zhou Shaoming picked up the box office results of Kung Fu Panda's premiere and couldn't help frowning!

After the premiere of Kung Fu Panda, the premiere score in the North American film market was only 50 million, which is still a bit surprising for a commercial blockbuster!

Among the movies released in December, the movie Kung Fu Panda has attracted the most attention, whether it is investment cost or publicity, plus the dubbing of many domestic and foreign superstars in the later stage of the movie, it shows that Zhou Shaoming likes the movie Kung Fu Panda!

But. In terms of the box office results of North American movies, the premiere in North America made Zhou Shaoming frown! The box office of the premiere was only 49 million!

There is such a big gap between such box office results and Zhou Shaoming's last movie, Iron Man, after the premiere of the Iron Man movie, the box office results in North America reached hundreds of millions!

That's half less. Zhou Shaoming hurriedly looked at the box office results of the movie released on the same day behind the information. At this time, Zhou Shaoming finally breathed a sigh of relief!

On the day of the 15th, among the other two movies with tens of millions of box office results, Kung Fu Panda was quite high. It's an optimistic thing.

On December 15, 2006, there were two movies with high box office results in North American theaters, one was Dream Girl. The other is the pursuit of happiness from Sony Pictures.

The first box office of each movie reached 25 million, which is almost half of the box office results compared to the movie Kung Fu Panda.

Seeing this, Zhou Shaoming slowly leaned back on the chair, in the production of the Kung Fu Panda movie, Zhou Shaoming still expects the Kung Fu Panda movie to create a box office result with a premiere of over 100 million!

However, such a fabulous premiere box office result still did not have what Zhou Shaoming expected, only 50 million premiere box office results! And there are two commercial blockbusters in the North American film market that have premiered and the box office results have exceeded the hundreds of millions mark!

That is Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and X-Men 3, these two strong blockbusters, during the first half of the year, dominated the North American film market in the first half of the year, becoming the most popular movie in North America this year!

And the movie Kung Fu Panda, during the premiere, only had a box office result of 50 million, which made Zhou Shaoming a little headache.

Benjamin saw Zhou Shaoming's unhappy appearance, and couldn't help asking: "Zhou, why are you still sad when the premiere of the movie Kung Fu Panda is so good." ”

Zhou Shaoming, who had his eyes closed, couldn't help but snort and said lightly: "Such a small number of premiere box office results, is it good?" "Even if it doesn't break through hundreds of millions of box office results, it should at least be between 70 million and 80 million, but even 50 million box office results have not been reached!

Benjamin was stunned on the spot, listened to Zhou Shaoming's tone, and said with a smile: "Actually, this movie is still a little unfamiliar to American audiences, and there is a process of acceptance, but in the Chinese film market, the box office results of the premiere of this movie have reached hundreds of millions, and it has achieved good box office results." ”

Hearing Benjamin's words, Zhou Shaoming sat up straight on the spot and asked Benjamin: "What, China's premiere box office has reached hundreds of millions?" Zhou Shaoming was still a little unconvinced, and asked? "Is it hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office?" ”

Benjamin laughed: "That's natural, with your appeal, why is it difficult to achieve such a premiere result." ”

Zhou Shaoming didn't wait for Benjamin to finish speaking, and immediately looked at the box office information of the premiere behind, which was indeed a premiere result of hundreds of millions of dollars! The box office of the premiere in China has reached 130 million, and Zhou Shaoming breathed a deep sigh when he saw such numbers.

This kind of box office performance is the first time that a Hollywood film has entered the Chinese film market, indeed, the Chinese market has incomparably great potential, you must know that China has a population of more than one billion, and no country can compare with such a supermarket.

In addition, China has been rising in recent years, and the economy is getting better and better, and it has become an unstoppable trend for people to watch movies in theaters!

Even with the many favorable factors. But after all, Chinese treat foreign movies with a lot of knots, even if Hollywood blockbusters, after coming to China, every time there are good box office results, but after all, there is no North American film market so hot!

It is an unchangeable fact that the box office performance of premieres is basically half, and the revenue of the North American film market must be more than double that of the Chinese film market.

However, when Zhou Shaoming saw such a big box office result, the box office performance of the movie Kung Fu Panda in the Chinese film market. It's twice as much as here in North America! Oh my God, did I read it wrong, or did the statistician get it wrong at the box office?

Zhou Shaoming finally asked with some disbelief: "Are you sure that the box office results of the premiere in China are appropriate?" ”

Benjamin rolled his eyes and said affirmatively, "There is absolutely no problem." Benjamin couldn't believe it when he saw such a premiere box office result, and after Benjamin checked it several times, he believed that it was the truth.

In the Chinese film market, after the release of Kung Fu Panda, it was sought after by countless Chinese audiences, and it has such a premiere box office result. It's not impossible.

Think about Kung Fu Panda, this movie is originally based on Chinese martial arts, and uses animation to depict the growth process of Kung Fu Panda, such a movie is not only loved by children, but also by young people!

Even if some adults have a family. I also like movies like this, China is originally the home of martial arts! Benjamin took a deep breath, and when he saw such a premiere box office result, he guessed Zhou Shaoming's expression when he saw such a premiere box office result! Startled. Joy, Benjamin, who has followed Zhou Shaoming for many years, soon thought of Zhou Shaoming's demeanor when he saw such a premiere result.

"Great." Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but pat the table.

Benjamin was a little surprised. After being surprised and happy, Zhou Shaoming's eyes seemed to reveal a kind of information, that is, an ambition.

"Zhou, why are you so excited." Benjamin asked Zhou Shaoming.

Zhou Shaoming narrowed his eyes and slowly leaned back in the chair, "You'll know later, God will help me." ”

Benjamin was confused, but only Zhou Shaoming knew in his heart, thinking about this time, the Chinese film market that has been cultivated has finally begun to blossom!

The box office performance of the premiere has surpassed that of North America, of course, perhaps because this movie is influenced by the back of the movie, there is such a big gap!

How is it possible that Hollywood's homegrown films have fewer box office results than those elsewhere? This is almost unlikely! Unless it's a foreign film, introduced into the North American film market!

However, at this moment, Kung Fu Panda has successfully reversed such a box office form in the Chinese film market, and Zhou Shaoming exhaled deeply, in China, Kung Fu Panda's box office performance may be better than his own similar!

In North America, the box office performance may not be as optimistic as previously expected, and in addition, the promotion of its own film can only rely on promotional films alone, allowing stars to come out to do publicity, and such a form is unlikely to appear again in the later stage.

Since then, Kung Fu Panda's promotional film can only rely on promotional films and posters, and the premiere in the North American film market is less than 50 million, Zhou Shaoming exhaled deeply, as long as it can achieve a box office result of 200 million in North American films, it is already very good.

Zhou Shaoming saw the box office results achieved in the Chinese film market, and he looked forward to it even more, I don't know how much box office results the movie Kung Fu Panda can achieve in the Chinese film market? How long will the premiere last?

On the day of the premiere of Chinese theaters, Chinese audiences have come to the door of the theater, you must know that since the release time of the movie Kung Fu Panda has been determined, everyone has come to the theater, although Hollywood movies have always become the most sought after movies by Chinese audiences, but on the day of the premiere of Kung Fu Panda, almost every theater door was crowded.

There has never been a movie that has such a hot scene when it is released in Chinese theaters!

"Is this going against the sky? How can there be so many people? ”

The audience in the crowd was irritable, watching a movie but not expecting to suffer such a big crime, watching a movie and queuing up, my God, I can't go through the back door, I can't book a ticket at all, I can only come to the theater to try my luck.

"Don't crowd it, you can't buy tickets at all now, and the tickets are all booked. Let's all go back,"

"Why don't you go back?"

All kinds of noisy sounds, constantly coming out of the crowd, for queuing to buy movie tickets. It's still rare! All of a sudden, what kind of movie is Kung Fu Panda, before I watched it, everyone began to talk about it.

"I heard that there is a movie going to be released today, it's Kung Fu Panda, right?"

"yes, don't you see so many still in line?"

"Oh my God, how can there be so many people? Don't you have to go to work? ”

In the theater, the theater was almost full, and the audience who came to the broadcast hall early was chatting in their positions. For the movie Kung Fu Panda, there is an endless stream of words!

When the movie starts, a cute panda continues to grow on the screen, goes through hardships, becomes a panda hero, and defeats the snow leopard!

The audience who watched this movie was passionate, even if it was a martial arts movie made by a foreign director, but its quality and essence far exceeded that of the local one.

Even if it's a cartoon, it's even more hearty to watch, and there's an indescribable excitement. Agitated! deeply touched the Chinese martial arts complex in the hearts of the audience!

When the movie premiered, although there was no neat applause in the theater, the audience was seated. I couldn't help shouting, "Okay, it's a good movie." ”

Suddenly, the broadcast hall became a sea of admiration, and the premiere was over. But the topic of this film is not far over in the mouths of Chinese audiences.

Although the movie Kung Fu Panda was successfully reversed, the box office performance reached hundreds of millions. For the first time, it surpassed the box office results of the North American film market, but this wave has not far receded!

The topic of the movie Kung Fu Panda is becoming more and more familiar!

"Have you seen the movie Kung Fu Panda?"

"Wow, I haven't even seen this movie, you're out."

"It's such a good movie, let's go see it when you have time."

Especially on college campuses, among college students, it is constantly spreading, and almost every college student knows the movie Kung Fu Panda!

"Who made the movie?"

"Who is Director Smith Chow? Is it famous? ”

"You don't even know Director Smith Chow, have you seen the fuse? Ever watched Iron Man? Have you ever seen Saw Horror? ”

"Ah, ah, I see."

"You know a P, you know these movies, you don't know Director Smith Zhou himself."

"How do you know?"

"Look at your bear-like look, and I'll know. GO CHECK THE DEGREE OF BAI AND YOU'LL KNOW. ”

After the premiere, the media was amazed at the terrible box office results of the Kung Fu Panda film film in the Chinese film market!

I didn't expect that the movie Kung Fu Panda would not only be popular in theaters, but also create a legend, that is, the box office results of the premiere in Chinese theaters surpassed the North American film market for the first time, what a terrible and exciting market! Some people say that there is no market for Chinese films at all, and it is not as good as one-tenth of the box office revenue of North American films, and now it seems that this gap is slowly narrowing! "Xinhuanet

"A kung fu swept China again, and the post-Smith director came with the movie Kung Fu Panda, which not only achieved a good reputation in China, but also achieved a premiere box office score of more than 100 million, which was a big surprise! You must know that this movie only had a box office performance of less than $50 million in the North American film market, and when it came to the Chinese film market, it has exceeded hundreds of millions! Cheer, scream, and hope that Director Smith can bring us more and more exciting movies! "Phoenix Entertainment

When he saw that the movie Kung Fu Panda Panda achieved such amazing box office results in China, Zhou Shaoming hurriedly turned on the computer to check the Chinese audience's media discussion about this movie!

Yahoo, Youku, Tudou and other well-known websites in China, Zhou Shaoming is constantly checking!

is not only the box office results, but also the bizarre word-of-mouth, when the audience watched this movie, most of the audience thought that the kung fu panda movie they shot was much better than that of local directors in the martial arts theme.

This may be that the audience is too subjective, if you say it according to the box office results, but it is the movie Kung Fu Panda that has created a lot of miracles, at least no martial arts movie shot by a Chinese director can have such amazing box office results!

However, if it is purely martial arts elements, Zhou Shaoming does not think that the movie Kung Fu Panda is much better than the local films shot by Chinese directors! At most, it has met the audience's requirements for martial arts movies!

China is a kingdom of martial arts movies, and almost everyone in Chinese audiences has grown up watching such TV series and movies, and they are no strangers to this kind of movie!

But at the same time, the requirements are also very high, with the increase in movies and TV series, most audiences have been unable to meet the martial arts movies and martial arts dramas that have appeared before!

When filming Kung Fu Panda, Zhou Shaoming also paid attention to some information about martial arts movies and martial arts dramas, Jin Yong's martial arts dramas have been filmed in Hong Kong since several classics, no matter what kind of director shoots in the future, it can no longer surpass the previous classics!

It's not that it's not good enough, it's just that compared with before, it doesn't have any innovation, and Kung Fu Panda is innovative in this regard!

Using a new mode to interpret Kung Fu Panda, in the form of an animation, let the audience see a martial arts feast while relaxing, so the movie Kung Fu Panda was a success! Zhou Shaoming's efforts have been rewarded, and they have been affirmed by the Chinese audience! (To be continued......)
