Chapter 369: Blockbuster Gathering 2011 (2)
February 15, 2011.
Not long after the Spring Festival, the weather in the magic capital is still cold.
It's been 2 months since the release of "Alien", and in those two months, a lot has happened.
After "Alien" was released in China, it soon landed in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea and other regions, and gained extraordinary word-of-mouth and box office, and then the movie-watching boom spread to North America, the European Union and other regions, causing countless screams and gathering countless fanatical fans. The image of the perfect killing machine of the Alien became famous all over the world for a while, making countless people tremble in the battle.
Quite a few people have begun to list it as the scariest alien image in science fiction movies.
The subsequent "Alien vs. Predator" also got a good box office in China, Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions with the platform created by "Alien", and the image of the Predator also began to become popular all over the world.
The two films grossed a total of $800 million worldwide, ranking among the top 10 in the world box office that quarter. And its novels, comics, and games began to be promoted to the global film market with this movie-watching boom, and peripheral products such as prop models and clothes have also become a temporary trend, creating 5 billion revenue and at least 500 million profits for Tianwang Film and Television!!
The novels and comics have also aroused the research of many fanatical fans, especially the novels that are full of suspense and strange excitement have become the topic of discussion among countless people.
And the most popular is who is the creator of the alien and the giant engineer.
The novel covers a large number of science fiction elements, as well as the culture and living habits of the three races, which have also attracted many experts and scholars to study. Some people even wonder if there really are three alien creatures in the universe.
Following on from Alien vs. Predator. Another movie of Tianwang Film and Television began to be released - "The Legend of Gods and Ghosts".
In ancient Egypt, the evil sorcerer Immorton and Pharaoh's wife Aksuna were exposed, and they were cursed to become immortal mummies, and they were devoured by insects for the rest of their lives. In 1923, many people were attracted by the vast amount of gold wealth buried in the pyramids and crossed the Sahara Desert to the capital of death, only to resurrect the undead mummy wizard Immorton with immense inhuman powers......
As soon as the movie was released, it attracted countless fans with its mystery, adventure, ancient power, beautiful scenery, and exquisite pictures, and the attendance rate in China continued to rise, and the applause continued. Subsequently, it was quickly introduced to Europe and the United States. There was a strong response. Mummification began to attract groups of archaeologists, and Egyptian officials praised the film.
After watching "The Legend of Gods and Ghosts", countless fans were fascinated by the exotic atmosphere of Egypt and went to Egypt one after another, and Egypt's tourism industry skyrocketed all of a sudden. The Egyptian government, which has always been poor, laughed all over the place. They even specially invited the crew of "Legend of Gods and Ghosts". At the same time, I hope to continue to shoot the second part. At the same time, he said that he could invest in the film and give the crew the greatest convenience.
After the crew heard the news, they were naturally overjoyed. The launch plan of "Legend of Gods and Ghosts 2 - Scorpion King" began to be put on the agenda. This script has long been prepared at the script center, and it is waiting for the filming to start, but I didn't expect the Egyptian government to take the initiative to cooperate.
It's not too refreshing!!
In addition to the release of the movie, the game of "Legend of Gods and Ghosts" was also developed in advance, and it was quickly promoted around the world by taking advantage of the hot release of the movie. Countless people have downloaded it one after another, earning a lot of dividends for Tianwang Film and Television.
In addition to Tianwang Film and Television's films that have won a rare box office, there are also many dark horses in the films of other film companies, among which "Let the Bullets Fly" has achieved a surprise box office of 1.3 billion yuan in China, East Asia, Southeast Asia and other regions.
After "Fox Fairy" was released around the world, it won a good reputation with its excellent production standards, and won the global box office of 450 million US dollars, and the investment of 700 million yuan was not wasted. Its success proves that films with Chinese cultural backgrounds will also be very popular in the European and American markets, and the key is that they are not grounded.
Stimulated by movies such as "Fox Fairy" and "Transformers", major film companies have increased their large investment in films, and at this time, a movie of 100 million yuan is no longer a blockbuster, at least a movie with an investment of more than 200 million yuan can be regarded as a blockbuster. And they also realize that only high-quality sincere movies can get high box office, so good scripts and better special effects technology have become their main direction.
In addition to movies, this year's Spring Festival Gala is more exciting than last year, because magic has become popular in China, so this year's Spring Festival Gala has another magic-type program, which has opened the audience's eyes and applauded, and the magician of the Spring Festival Gala is naturally the most well-known Li Gaofei.
Wang Shang has not yet received an invitation from the Spring Festival Gala group.
――――――――――――――
After a Spring Festival holiday, everyone finally started to work.
Tianwang Film and Television Company's new films have successively formed crews to start, "Cursed Grudge 2", "Legend of Gods and Ghosts 2-Scorpion King", "Prometheus", "Alien 2" ......
With the announcement of Tianwang Film and Television Company's film plans one by one, fans were so excited that they screamed.
"The Grudge 2"? "Legend of Gods and Ghosts 2"? "Alien 2"? I like the sequel and I look forward to it.
Prometheus? What is it?
What the? Is it an alien prequel? Great stuff!! I like it!!
But soon countless fans were unhappy: "Why is this all horror genre, can you do some sci-fi?" Or urban, or martial arts or something, otherwise we will not be able to play happily in the future? ”
After all, not everyone is heavy-tasted.
As if feeling the call of fans, Tianwang Film and Television Company soon launched another film plan.
"Rise of the Planet" sci-fi film.
"Agents of the Dragon" action movie.
"Jurassic Park" sci-fi film.
Now, most fans are finally satisfied.
Tianwang Film and Television has frequent actions, and other film and television companies have not shown weakness at all, and one movie after another has been launched, and the movies that have not yet been shot are also in non-stop filming and production, striving to meet the audience as soon as possible.
Tianwang Building, the chairman's office, Wang Shang took a list of movies that were predicted to be released in 2011 and watched it seriously.
The main ones in China are Tianwang Film and Television's "Biochemical Apocalypse 3" and "Fast and Furious 3" and "Transformers 2", which are all 3D movies, and they are all series movies, and they are also among the top ten in the global box office, so they can be said to be movies that the world is looking forward to. In addition, Wang Shang's "Shocking Demon Thieves" is also attracting much attention, but it is not as famous as the previous three.
There are some other sci-fi, urban, and action 3D movies in China, but there is a big gap with movies such as "Biochemical Apocalypse", and Wang Shang doesn't care too much. Wang Shang cares about those 3D movies abroad.
"The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "The Amazing Spider-Man", "Captain America", "Iron Man", "Thor", "X-Men", these are all science fiction films, and they are all 3D movies.
In addition to this, there are "Twilight", "Machine Story", "Rio Adventure", ...... and other non-3D Hollywood blockbusters.
As for the European Union, Wang Shang took a look, the movie is still a little stingy, and it is estimated that there is no movie that can get a big box office, but Wang Shang gave the script of "Slumdog Millionaire", this movie has been filmed and is preparing to be released this year.
As for films from other regions? Wang Shang directly ignored it.
"This year is really a collection of blockbusters, and they are all 3D flooded, and it is estimated that these blockbusters will be released one after another from August, so "Shocking Demon Thieves" must be released as soon as possible."
"By April, "Biochemical Apocalypse 3" and "Fast and Furious 3" will complete the final editing and wait for release."
"And "Resident Evil", which started filming at the beginning of last year, has now completed all production, and it needs to be released as soon as possible."
Wang Shang has little confidence in "Resident Evil", which has been popular for a while in time and space, because the theme of zombie flow has been crippled, if it weren't for that series of movies, Wang Shang would not have made this movie.
