Chapter 605: China's box office reversal

At the same time as Zhou Shaoming's high-profile appearance in the ancient city of Xi'an, China, for publicity, Warner Film and Television Company also took corresponding countermeasures! Although Warner's propaganda method is simple!

However, as far as the Harry Potter series of movies is concerned, the crowd still loves this story! Starting from the main point, the author of the Harry Potter story also came to China!

There has been another wave of Harry Potter fans in China, and the winter of 2005 seems to be not so cold!

From Harry Potter 4 to Iron Man's strong entry into the Asian film market! For the continuous storms, the enthusiasm in the hearts of fans began to rise!

"Director Smith Chow has finally launched Iron Man's unfinished China tour! I remember that before the release of the Iron Man movie, Director Smith Zhou led the team to return to China after only one day of promotion in Hong Kong! When leaving, Smith Chow said he would be back! This time Smith Week came to China again, and a new publicity storm sounded again, I don't know if Iron Man will once again set off a big movie storm in China and even Asia, driven by the popularity of Smith Week, Donnie, Christina, Avril and others! Xinhua News Agency

"The King is back! Smith Chow, together with Hollywood superstars Donnie and Christina, as well as global popular singer Avril Avril, once again entered Asia, allowing Asian audiences to see the style of Hollywood's top team! Under this wave, can Smith Chow make his wish and drive the Iron Man movie to become the hottest movie in Asia? Asia Daily

"As a top director in the world, he is willing to put down the shelf for the promotion of the theater, such feelings are no one could have imagined that the publicity of the first game in Xi'an shows the popularity of director Smith Zhou in China, and Iron Man, who has surpassed the Harry Potter 4 movie in the North American film market, can he surpass this movie again in Asia and become a film that continues to refresh box office results everywhere?" Sina Entertainment

When Zhou Shaoming came to China to publicize. The media gave a high evaluation! Regardless of Zhou Shaoming's influence in the ranks of global directors at this time, or after the release of the movie Iron Man, whether it is box office results or word of mouth, he has achieved the pinnacle of historical moments!

Zhou Shaoming's movements at this moment have completely become the focus of media attention!

The American Golden Globe Awards are being selected as scheduled, and Iron Man and Zhou Shaoming have already been nominated for the Golden Globe Awards in the early stages of selection!

For this award, Zhou Shaoming didn't worry too much, Zhou Shaoming's eyes must only be locked on the Oscars! Therefore, Zhou Shaoming is willing to stay in the United States at this time!

Instead, I chose to travel to Asia! The propaganda of the first battle in Xi'an was very successful! This is an important shot in the grand launch of Asian propaganda!

When Zhou Shaoming and others left Xi'an. China's major entertainment news has broadcast Zhou Shaoming's promotional activities in Xi'an!

Iron Man's box office performance in Chinese theaters has also steadily improved with the beginning of Zhou Shaoming's promotion!

After the premiere created a Chinese box office for Harry Potter 4, it once again gained momentum, closing with a box office result of 30 million US dollars on the same day!

This is also Iron Man's best one-day box office result in the Chinese film market since his premiere results!

Even Chinese film critics are amazed!

"With the concentration of Hollywood blockbusters in Chinese theaters in recent years, the Chinese market has begun to flourish, and the annual revenue has increased by 16% over the same period. With such data, it is no longer a distant dream for the Chinese film market to break through the box office results of tens of billions of annual revenues! ”

There are different opinions about Hollywood's mediocre beginning to be released in Chinese movie theaters! Some people believe that this is a great boost to the development of the Chinese film market!

Whether it's box office results. Or is it an improvement of the movie itself! must be in the face of the Chinese film market when the cake is getting bigger and bigger, many indiscriminate and non-mainstream movies have also begun to use the banner to continue to work hard in the film market and insult the audience's IQ!

Numerous imitation bubble movies constantly fill cinemas. Many viewers feel overwhelmed!

Later, there is the movie Wuji that has been scolded by Chinese audiences recently!

But as many blockbusters in Hollywood began to gather in the Chinese film market, at this time, the audience's confidence began to slowly recover!

The box office performance of the Chinese film market has also begun to grow rapidly! If there weren't so many Hollywood blockbusters that would have brought visual enjoyment to the audience again and again in the past few years. So in the local movies, most of the movies that have ruined the eyes of Chinese audiences have brought the shadows, I believe that if this continues, few people dare to go to the cinema!

The words of the experts, with the continuous scolding of the audience for the commercial blockbuster Wuji at this moment, continue to comment on the Chinese film market and Chinese local films!

Wuji, a movie released in China on December 5, 2005, directed by the well-known Chinese director Chen Kaige, gathers well-known superstars from across the Taiwan Strait! After the premiere of this fantasy movie, there were many complaints in the minds of Chinese audiences!

A commercial movie that costs hundreds of millions of dollars and has such a strong lineup is actually filmed like this! The resentment accumulated by the audience over the years finally erupted in the movie Wuji!

Fate is such a coincidence, even Zhou Shaoming himself felt very amazing!

Zhou Shaoming, who came to Xi'an on December 5 and began to fly to Shanghai on the 7th, was surprised to find that when he came to the Chinese film market to promote, he was inadvertently involved in this Wuji scolding war!

As a large number of viewers continued to insult Wuji, a commercial blockbuster shot by a local Chinese director, they began to compare Wuji with Iron Man!

Zhou Shaoming was stunned, but he didn't expect that after the release of Zhou Shaoming's movie, Iron Man would be involved in PK with Wuji! Wuji was abused by most of the audience in the theater!

Such a Chinese commercial blockbuster dares to come out hard! is also Iron Man, who spent hundreds of millions of yuan to produce, what kind of effect is that, but Wuji is another kind of scene that makes people vomit!

Zhou Shaoming felt a little embarrassed at this time, in fact, for this movie, it is indeed a bit wasteful in terms of shooting costs, and there are no cool scenes, but the cost of the movie is so high!

However, there is still not much of a problem with the film, and the current audience may be because of the continuous impact of Hollywood blockbusters in the past few years. Activists who complain about the works of the local film market!

In fact, the film market, which is worse than Wuji, is flooded every day, but after all, Wuji's director is produced by a well-known local Chinese director, bringing together big-name movie stars from across the Taiwan Strait! The investment in movies is also the largest film investment in the Chinese film market in recent years, but it will only be released, and the gap with Hollywood is still too obvious!

It is because of this feeling that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The audience vented all this mood on Wuji at this time!

However, in Zhou Shaoming's eyes, it is still the distributor of Wuji, or director Chen Kaige will not choose the time of release! I know that at this time, with the advent of the Chinese New Year!

Whether it's Harry Potter 4 that has already been released. After the release of the two Hollywood blockbusters of Iron Man, other Hollywood movies began to enter the Chinese film market, but at this time, the movie Wuji was released!

It undoubtedly doesn't bring a lot of risks to Wuji, maybe he dares to be in the Lunar New Year period, director Chen Kaige is too confident in Wuji's films, but he didn't expect that after the release, he was abused by most audiences!

There is such a scene in the Chinese film market, and the vast majority of audiences question Wuji. Let the Wuji crew bear considerable pressure, especially Chen Kaige and his wife!

In the Wuji movie, Chen Hong, the director's wife, is also one of the leading actors in the play, facing doubts. The selection of the protagonist and the cost of filming the film have become the focus of many people's attention!

In the Chinese film market, there are very few such things happening! In fact, in the Chinese film market. Many people have accepted the topic of female stars being directed by the unspoken rules, and those female stars who are on the top with their beauty have grabbed a lot of them in China, but. This time, Wuji's disappointment made people lose it, and Chen Kaige's wife Chen Hong played the heroine in Wuji!

In the face of countless criticisms, even Chen Hong, who has very little road surface, came forward to explain to everyone! No matter how you explain it, you can't believe that when choosing a role, Director Chen Kaige has no selfishness!

Regarding the cost of film production, Chen Hong is even more bitter! However, no matter how you say it, it can't calm the audience's anger at this time!

Even Chen Kaige, director of Wuji, couldn't do it at this time, and said to the media: "Many people may not understand this movie now, but they may be able to understand it in the future." ”

Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up, and his brows furrowed! I really don't know if this director was forced to say a terrible thing when he was forced to the most helpless!

Since it's an incomprehensible movie, as a director, I'm willing to shoot it, and it costs a lot of money, I really don't know if it's a brain in the water or a door!

What is the director's responsibility, which is to bring a visual feast to the audience and fully immerse the audience in the world of the movie! If you can't make a movie like this, don't force it!

Regarding Chen Kaige's words, Zhou Shaoming, as a director, has a great experience! I remember that when I started watching Wuji, I also had the same indignant thoughts! At any time, when Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung in the starring role of Wuji got married, they began to take nude photos, and experienced divorce again!

Nicholas Tse is like a line in Wuji's movie: You ruined my chance to be a good man!

Cecilia Cheung is like a curse in the Wuji movie! Allure, the beauty you will have in the future will become the most beautiful woman in the world, but the condition is that you will never get someone who truly loves you, and even if you get it, you will soon lose it!

After the lines of the movie happened in reality instantly, people began to understand what Chen Kaige said at that time!

However, when Zhou Shaoming became the director, he gradually understood that in fact, Director Chen Kaige was also forced to be helpless at that time, so he said so!

This sentence itself is full of contradictions, since you know that your movie can't be understood, you still have to spend a lot of money to shoot it, and then release it to embarrass the audience?

Zhou Shaoming smiled in his heart and shook his head, Zhou Shaoming didn't intend to be an opponent at all in the movie Wuji! That's all wishful thinking on the part of the Chinese media!

It's just that the time is too coincidental, and for a while, the two movies Wuji and Iron Man began to be compared!

A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Shaoming's mouth, the movie Wuji is not enough to compare with the movie Iron Man! Because as far as the film itself is concerned, it is two different levels, and in Zhou Shaoming's eyes, there is only one movie, and that is Harry Potter 4!

The media's wishful thinking has caused a lot of trouble to Zhou Shaoming! At the propaganda press conference held in Shanghai, at this time, the media finally brought up the topic that has been hotly discussed for the past two days!

"May I ask Director Smith Chow. Now that the Chinese audience media have begun to compare the movie Wuji with Iron Man, what do you think? I don't know if you've seen the movie Wuji? ”

Zhou Shaoming hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "In my eyes, Iron Man's opponent will always be Harry Potter 4, even if a commercial blockbuster is released in China during this time, in my opinion, it is not enough to have the strength to compare with our Hollywood team, the gap is too big." ”

Zhou Shaoming's words were crisp and neat, without any cover-up! Obviously, for the wishful thinking of the Chinese media, comparing Iron Man with Wuji is still not disgusted! As far as the movie Wuji itself is concerned, Zhou Shaoming didn't have too much good impression at the beginning!

Zhou Shaoming's words came out. It immediately aroused the propaganda of the Chinese media!

"I heard that North American friends said that Director Smith Zhou has always been an arrogant director, and he has always been very arrogant in front of the media, but he has achieved unexpected box office results again and again, and so far Director Smith Zhou has absolute box office appeal in the North American film market! Such directors are rare, and when we see Smith Zhou smiling and coming to China to promote again and again, we finally see an arrogant director Smith Zhou! Xinhua News Network

"The sentence that our Iron Man's opponent is always Harry Potter 4 obviously shows that everyone is talking about the battle between Iron Man and Wuji at the box office, which makes Director Smith Zhou feel very concerned! A Hollywood blockbuster. How can it be compared with this kind of domestic film that can't go abroad, this seems to belittle director Smith Zhou, and makes the director who went to China to promote it look very angry. "Sina.com

"Smith Zhou is too arrogant, the movie Iron Man is not as good as the Harry Potter 4 movie in the Chinese film market. Some people compare Wuji with Iron Man, they look up to him, but they just hope that domestic directors can see the scenes of movies shot by Hollywood directors! Some angry young viewers heard Zhou Shaoming's words. Still indignant!

Zhou Shaoming, who didn't want to get involved in the Wuji turmoil, was still unconsciously caught in it, which was not a good thing for himself and Iron Man!

The storm is getting bigger and bigger. Zhou Shaoming knew in his heart that in the end, this movie would become one of the worst movies of the year for a while! With such a poor reputation, the box office results of the movie can also be imagined!

The movie Iron Man is different, not only focusing on the North American film market, Asia, Iron Man is facing the world!

Zhou Shaoming regretted his answer to the reporter at that time, and in the face of his repeated questions, Zhou Shaoming was really angry! Zhou Shaoming, who didn't calm down at that time, still said his thoughts!

"Arrogance?" Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath, for the words and deeds of the audience who began to have Chinese audiences who were not used to their behavior, the corners of Zhou Shaoming's mouth just smiled faintly, if he was really troubled by these words, then Zhou Shaoming would have died a long time ago.!

It's just that for a while, there was a voice in the Chinese film market that Zhou Shaoming was more worried!

That is, as Hollywood blockbusters continue to be released in the Chinese film market, a large number of Chinese voices have come out, demanding to strengthen the review of foreign films!

Over the years, Hollywood blockbusters have tasted the cake of the Chinese film market again and again, and they have continued to work hard in the Chinese film market!

Let China's local films taste a lot of suffering! If there are no Hollywood films, Chinese local films will never see the gap, but if there is no limit for Hollywood films to enter the Chinese film market, how much of the share of the Chinese film market is left for Chinese local film companies?

Zhou Shaoming is still more concerned about this matter, and presumably the requirements for releasing movies in the Chinese film market will be more demanding in the future!

However, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company still has certain advantages over other film and television companies! That is, in recent years, it has invested earlier in the Chinese film market, and its reputation is also very good!

No matter what happens in the Chinese film market at this time, it will never affect the momentum of Chinese audiences entering the theater to watch Iron Man!

When Zhou Shaoming and his team came to China to promote, Iron Man once again attracted attention in the Chinese film market, and the once unpopular Iron Man movie became active again!

Perhaps it was the disappointment of Wuji that the Chinese audience began to lock their eyes on Iron Man! After being disappointed with domestic films, I came to the theater and watched the movie Iron Man!

"It's just different! This is called a commercial blockbuster! I really don't know what our domestic directors do to eat? The audience looked at Iron Man and remembered the scene of Wuji! What a world of difference!

At the entrance of the theater, Iron Man, who has already reduced the number of screenings in Chinese movie theaters, is active again, mainly because of the propaganda that Zhou Shaoming did in China at this time, which brought a direct impact!

When it is hot, another factor is because of the great disappointment of domestic audiences for the movie Wuji, and they need a movie to comfort their wounded hearts!

Then, Iron Man, who is also a science fiction movie, not only has cool special effects, shocking scenes, beautiful sports cars, villas, these things that most audiences yearn for, are all included in Iron Man!

Coupled with the incarnation of justice, Iron Man has become a modern version of a chivalrous hero in the minds of Chinese audiences! (To be continued......)
