Chapter 444: Super High Box Office
Christine said a lot about her feelings during the filming of "Moonlight", but once the topic was related to Chen Feng, she became very cautious. The lights on the stage were lit up in turn, and the host had this way of talking in series, introducing several important role actors in the film to the audience, interspersed with some tidbits of revelations, and the atmosphere of the entire event was fully mobilized.
Minutes and seconds passed. Finally it was the turn of the movie to be released, Chen Feng sat next to the director Uncle Di, he obviously felt the nervousness of the director who was still talking and laughing before, "Moonlight" was very famous before the adaptation, and almost everyone doubted that he, a director who had only directed one excellent movie, could direct this work with a huge number of fans. Of course, he himself is very nervous, after all, this is his first work, and no one wants to fail!
The surrounding lights dimmed, and the first thing that appeared at the beginning of the film was the logo of Huayu, and the picture brightened, and the first to appear was Bella as the heroine.
The story of "Moonlight" is full of twists and turns, every time it is thrilling, there will always be a low exclamation from the audience in the theater, Chen Feng already knows that he has succeeded, after all, a movie that can attract the audience to devote themselves to it is definitely a good movie, isn't it?
Until the movie slowly came to an end, the audience who watched the screening gave warm applause to the new director.
The film's box office was a huge success, earning $170 million in just one week of release in North America. And the simultaneous launch of the EU and island countries was also a huge success, a week after the EU release. "Moonlight" received a box office of 200 million US dollars, and "Moonlight" also won a box office of 150 million US dollars in the island country, and in just one week, the box office market was 520 million US dollars, and the throne of the box office champion was not shaken at all.
But that's just the beginning.
"The town of Fox in "Moonlight" has a cold blue light, and it is damp and cold all year round because of the continuous rain. The mountains behind the town are always cloudy, and the handsome vampires in the small town are pale as snow, haughty and indifferent. Suddenly, there was a gothic feeling, I don't know why, for goth, I always thought that the temperament of a vampire was the most suitable, and if it was a vampire in Northern Europe, I didn't know where I came from, but it seems that I really mentioned the word, and that's how I thought about it, although the film is about teenage love. But among the feelings, young people will find many elements that resonate with adults. If the inner leakage is still the same, it is easy to awaken the romantic feelings that you once had. Because in the fantasy background of this ghost love, the love told is actually based on reality. Character personalities can also be found in real life. Same as the original. When talking about the creation of the film, the producer Uncle Di said that the story can actually be compared with the real world to a large extent.

"The love of a vampire and a girl is a good metaphor for the state of adolescent love. In the film, the male protagonist Edward is a vampire, and his relationship with Bella has to be restricted. ”
"Unlike the usual vampire movies or romance films", Twilight has a very clean style, all erotic scenes are canceled, and violence is implicitly cut by the camera. Unpretentious, authentic, and more persuasive. Young people who love so much that they forget the existence of life and death, the deepest act of affection is only a kiss. Like ancient Greek mythology. Tragic and poetic. Another difference from the traditional vampire theme is that although the Cullen family in the film is a blood-sucking family, they are a vegetarian family that only smokes animals, and they abide by the agreement they have made with humans. It gave me a little more understanding of vampires. They possess many of the best human qualities despite keeping their distance. Even more than many humans, Edward loved Bella and the family protected her as a relative. Except for the inability to change the vampire body given to them by fate, as well as the magical powers and survival habits that result from it, they are no different from human beings and good people. …,――

"When "Moonlight" was first promoted, the name given by the movie magazine was "Moonlight", probably because I thought the name sounded a little negative, low and depressed, and later changed it. Vampires are heavy and dark, so they can't be exposed to the sun before they can go out to play baseball in the evening. This scene is very human, and the vampires fall in love with one of the national pastimes of the United States, "playing baseball." The impression of vampires is beautiful. So the family in the movie has an abnormal beauty, the best is the handsome Edward, the vampire is so pale that his face is bloodless, and he is still the focus of people's attention when he is still charming, so that our heroine is fascinated, I just want to die and become an ageless vampire with him, love makes the young man who feels it become willful and impulsive, and the love between the two from love at first sight to the germination of mutual affection after gradual contact, and suspicion of each other due to close contact, and then express their hearts to each other, after the two of them were completely in love, and then the dangerous Bella was rescued by her lover at a critical juncture, so the two experienced life and death, the relationship became more and more stable, and the love became more intense, the most ghost story, the whole story is not much exciting, the most love story, at least the process of love is not the slightest abrupt complete. Love makes Bella feel that she wants to become a vampire like Edward, near the end of the movie, if it weren't for Edward's final return to reason, she would have almost really gotten her wish after being bitten, it was not mentioned in the movie, but it was mentioned in the suspense magazine that people are dying, and the key step of being eaten in the neck before becoming a vampire is called "first hug." After experiencing the "first embrace", he officially became a vampire, and the vampire-led character in the movie Tusheng, he is the character who helps the dying experience the completion of the "first embrace". Our family calls themselves vegan vampires, and this condenses... The door can live in harmless peace with humans, which also makes them and the non-vegetarian vampires buried in the drama of the treatment of human beings, the conflict, which has the backbone of the story, and this is the moving love story between people and ghosts, which is an upgraded version of "The Love of People and Ghosts" in the new century. -- Huaguo Television News
"Moonlight" has only been released for a week, and it has already received a box office of 520 million yuan in the movie box office market, plus the box office in South America, Australia and other places, the global box office has collected 600 million US dollars, so Huayu Company laughed from ear to ear. Six hundred million dollars, that's not a small amount, even in the old years. This box office can definitely rank in the top 50 of the global movie box office charts, and that is not compared with the box office of any film in history, but by comparing it with the box office of all films in history.
Besides, it's only been a week, and according to this momentum, it's not a problem at all that the global box office has exceeded $1 billion, you must know that there are only five DreamWorks movies that have exceeded $1 billion at the box office, and there are only two films that have had a $1 billion box office before, and a tough mess released the year before last, even now "Zhu Xian", which is still firmly at the top of the box office. followed by "Twilight", which was released last year, with a national box office of nearly 380 million in the United States and a global box office of 1.8 billion.
Whether the appearance of "Moonlight" can break the box office myth of "Zhu Xian" is a very complicated issue, and no one can say for sure.
For the unexpectedly good box office of "Moonlight", the senior management of Huayu Company has a feeling of falling through the glasses and being overjoyed, you know, Huayu Company has not had such a good movie box office for a long time, even if the box office of "Moonlight" does not grow after that, "Moonlight" is also determined to be in the top five box office.
Huayu's first reaction to this was a sequel, to make a sequel, but the sequel is still in Chen Feng's head, and it hasn't come out yet, even if you want to shoot it, you can't do it, and suddenly it's so depressed. …,
Since the big hit of "Moonlight", it has been compared with the same big hit "The Magician", from the comparison of the sales at the beginning to the comparison between the box office of the adapted script, before this, "The Magician" has had two movies released, with a cumulative box office of more than 1.8 billion US dollars, if you want to pass "The Magician" at the total box office, "Moonlight" still has a long way to go, but "Moonlight" as the first film was released as soon as it was released with a global box office of 600 million US dollars to announce his strong attack, and "The Magician" The comparison of the box office has been taken one step closer.
Although there is only one copy of the "Moonlight" series at present, it has always been the object of comparison with the "Magician" series, and now the box office of the movie is the same, in the just-released "Moonlight" with a weekly box office of more than 600 million proud results came to a good start, and the huge box office and prestige also caused huge psychological pressure on the follow-up films, and the film market for a year is so big, the more you share, the less people will share.
As far as Chen Feng knows, this year's "Magician 3" is only nearly 800 million US dollars, if you have to say goodbye to "Moonlight", I am afraid that it will be blown up.
And not only in the comparison of box office figures, but also in the comparison of yields, although the "Magician" series is good at the box office, but the cost is also high, often hundreds of millions, plus the share of major theaters, in fact, the net profit in the hands of Warner in the end is only one or two hundred million, but "Moonlight" is different, "Moonlight" is definitely a small-cost or medium-cost movie in comparison, and it is only tens of millions, plus publicity expenses, there can be three or four billion after the theater is divided. This is only the first week, and there will only be more in the future.
Of course, the more box office, the happier Chen Feng is, according to the original regulations, Huayu can get 40% of the box office, which is definitely a super high box office score. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
