Chapter 538: "Diablo 1: The War for Original Sin" is released
On June 25th, the summer vacation file is about to start, and before that, "Crazy Stone" staged a crazy scene of attracting money, and this small-budget work directed by Ning Hao was released and laughed all over the world.
But all those who have been to the cinema have praised the movie "Crazy Stone", and it has truly achieved a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office.
Even Ning Hao, the director of this movie, never thought that the small-budget comedy movie he directed could stage such a miracle, sweeping tens of millions of box office in a single week, which can be called a money-absorbing weapon.
But at this time, his face was not good.
"Diablo 1: Original Sin War is coming." Ning Hao thought bitterly.
If he had known that "Crazy Stone" could create a box office miracle and reach tens of millions of box office in just one week, he would not have thought about it at this time.
At that time, he was thinking of taking advantage of the fact that the tiger of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" had not yet officially gained momentum, scraping a small piece of meat foam out of the summer vacation file, after all, "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" was about to be released, and other blockbusters had postponed their release dates, which was a rare vacuum.
Although this vacuum period was not long, it was enough to feed him.
But he never expected that "Crazy Stone" would be so crazy, and it received rave reviews as soon as it was released, and the audience burst into laughter, and at the box office, "Crazy Stone" also showed the ability to absorb money like a money printing machine, attracting tens of millions of gold in just one week, which has supported him.
But man's desires are boundless, though his belly is held up. But I still want to suck more money over, but unfortunately, "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" is about to be released. A large number of theaters began to cut his theaters, preparing to cede theaters to Diablo 1: Original Sin War.
Although his "Crazy Stone" table Xiàn has a crazy ability to absorb gold, although his "Crazy Stone" has a good reputation and long-lasting battery life, in the eyes of the theater, it is still not as good as the upcoming "Diablo 1: Original Sin War".
This Alfonso. A magical masterpiece directed by Cuarón and co-financed and co-distributed by Universal Pictures and Gold Group. From the very beginning, it has been highly anticipated by fans around the world.
In the eyes of theaters, "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" has been equated with "World of Warcraft". Even if it is not as good as "World of Warcraft", it is also a fantasy classic, and the ability to attract gold is not a problem.
The question is whether this movie can break the global box office of one billion.
How did "World of Warcraft" break one billion in the first place, they know it. Even Diablo 1: Original Sin War tops World of Warcraft's second-best fantasy classic. It has a great advantage in publicity, but it is still very difficult to break the global box office of one billion.
But what does it matter?
Universal Movies attaches great importance to breaking the global box office to break the name of breaking one billion, and the Gold Group needs the name of breaking the global box office of one billion. Jackson, or Alfonso. Cuarón hopes that the global box office will break one billion and fall on him, but for the theater chain, they don't care at all.
No matter how loud and loud the name is, what does it have to do with the theater chain? Can cinemas make money? No. Then they won't even pay attention, at best they will pay attention. Make a phone call to congratulate me, and brush down the zài feeling.
As long as Diablo 1: Original Sin War can make money, it doesn't matter if it breaks a billion or not.
Therefore, in terms of film scheduling, "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" has become the most scheduled Hollywood blockbuster in the past with an overwhelming schedule of more than 60%.
Even in the era when domestic films are supported, that is, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" can achieve this terrifying film schedule.
And this amount of film scheduling will inevitably affect any film of the same period.
For example, "Crazy Stone", which is currently being screened.
Removing it from a large number of theaters is very distressing for the theater chain, after all, the movie "Crazy Stone" has a very high gold attraction, almost no less than the works of those big directors.
But when "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" was about to be released, they resolutely removed "Crazy Stone" and released "Diablo 1: Original Sin War".
If you want to blame "Crazy Stone" for being released before "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", any movie, whether domestic or Hollywood, no matter how crazy it is, has to kneel down and sing conquest in front of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War".
That night, countless magazines gathered at the entrance of the Grand Theater of the Imperial Capital Gold Group, this time it was different from the last time, last time it was an invitation, and this time it was uninvited.
""Diablo 1: Original Sin War" is finally going to land in China, hehe, it will be released worldwide, and it will be the first to open the curtain of the summer vacation file, and the Gold Group and Universal Pictures are going to bite the first bite of the most delicious fat cake in the summer vacation file." Xiaobai, the gold medal film critic of "Popular Film", smiled and saw the strategy of the Gold Medal Group and Universal Films clearly.
In fact, it's not just him, anyone who is a little smarter can see the strategy of the Gold Group and Universal Films, but what about seeing it?
Who dares to compete with Diablo 1: Original Sin War?
Chinese? Korea? Japan or Hollywood? No.
When "World of Warcraft" was released last year, "Batman Begins 1: The Mystery of the Shadows" and "War of the Worlds" dared to challenge "World of Warcraft", and it was "World of Warcraft" that was released in advance, actively avoiding "Batman Episodes 1: The Mystery of the Shadows" and "War of the Worlds".
But then what?
"World of Warcraft" exploded with unimaginable energy, "Madagascar 1" accompanied the whole process, and "Batman Prequel 1: The Mystery of the Shadows" announced the postponement of its release, avoiding the edge of "World of Warcraft".
That is, Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" dared to challenge "World of Warcraft" when "World of Warcraft" was exhausted, and cut "World of Warcraft" off the horse.
But what about this year?
Who would dare to go head-to-head with Diablo 1: Original Sin War, which could be the second World of Warcraft?
No, not a single one.
In the past, the lively summer vacation opening drama was not released at all, and all the masterpieces of major film companies were not triggered, for what? Isn't it just watching the table of "Diablo 1: Original Sin War"?
If Diablo 1: Original Sin War is as strong as World of Warcraft, they will immediately retreat and will not actively provoke Diablo 1: Original Sin for at least a month.
But if "Diablo 1: Original Sin War" is unsatisfactory and encounters Waterloo, then a blockbuster will be released in minutes and will confront "Diablo 1: Original Sin War".
"They have this strength, and no one dares to compete with them, but it's a pity for "Crazy Stone"." Xiao Gao, the film critic of "Contemporary Film Industry", sighed involuntarily.
Although "Crazy Stone" has a good reputation and the audience is amused to laugh, in the eyes of some film critics, the word-of-mouth is not very good.
In fact, in the eyes of these film critics, any commercial system is not very good, in their eyes, movies are art, literary films are orthodox, except for literary films, any comedy, kung fu, commercial special effects films are heretics, and they are heresies that tarnish art.
So when the word-of-mouth of "Crazy Stone" was popular, they jumped out one by one to pour cold water on "Crazy Stone".
But in any case, this movie is indeed a rare masterpiece among domestic films, which can be seen from its box office and the audience's word-of-mouth.
It's just a pity that the current "Crazy Stone" has been impacted by "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", and a large number of theaters have painted "Crazy Stone", which has been replaced by "Diablo 1: Original Sin War", "Crazy Stone" will inevitably be suppressed at the box office, and the total box office will be suppressed to a certain extent.
The difference is exactly how much.
And this also depends on the table of "Diablo 1: War of Original Sin", if the table of "Diablo 1: War of Original Sin" is unsatisfactory, then the theater will re-release "Crazy Stone", but if "Diablo 1: War of Original Sin" is the same as "World of Warcraft", no, even if it is slightly inferior to "World of Warcraft", "Crazy Stone" will be completely overwhelmed.
The Huaxia market is too small, and he simply can't accommodate two works that are popular in the market at the same time, and he is constrained by shy pockets, and fans will have to choose one of the two.
And to choose between special effects blockbusters and comedies, most fans will choose special effects blockbusters.
The reason is very simple, special effects blockbusters look at the atmosphere and picture effects, while comedy movies look at the content and laugh.
The former can only be seen vividly in the cinema and 3D theater, while the latter can also laugh at home.
Under such circumstances, the impact of "Crazy Stone" can be imagined.
And such a domestic blockbuster has a bleak box office under the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, which has to be regretted.
But they have no power to change, and in this era where the Internet affects all aspects, the role of film critics has been completely replaced by the Internet itself.
After watching the movie, whether the audience is addicted or complains loudly, all the content edited by the audience itself is pushed to the entire Internet.
The Internet has expanded the scope and speed of word of mouth countless times over.
The role of film critics is also infinitely reduced, no matter how much a film critic shouts, he can't change the reputation and box office of a work, what can be changed is only the quality of the work itself, good is good, bad is bad, good, naturally the box office is high, and if it is poor, it will naturally have no successor.
