Chapter 467 The Extreme Expansion of Word-of-Mouth and Box Office
I have to say that the box office of "Saving Private Ryan" is very crazy in the entire world.
After the end of the first week of release, "Saving Private Ryan" won the weekly box office championship in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other countries! The box office storm of "Saving Private Ryan" has swept through these countries, making the box office of "Saving Private Ryan" in these countries directly surpass "Fighting the Sea of Gods" and reach a rather terrifying new height.
Such a height is frightening.
In these countries and regions, the box office of "Saving Private Ryan" has been skyrocketing.
The first week of the release of "Saving Private Ryan" in Europe also began.
With the wonderful performance of "Saving Private Ryan" at the Venice International Film Festival and subsequent screenings, the reputation and expectations of "Saving Private Ryan" in Europe have long been diffused.
In this way, the premiere of "Saving Private Ryan" in Europe soon began to spread, and all kinds of high box office began to appear in many countries.
There are too many countries in Europe, and sometimes it is very troublesome, so although "Saving Private Ryan" wants to prevent copies from leaking, it also has to send many copies to Europe at the beginning of December, and then hurry up to let all the countries in Europe have copies of "Saving Private Ryan" before December 13.
Other Chinese films are because there are too many European countries and too troublesome, and although European films are not as restricted as Chinese films in the United States, they are the closest region in the United States after all. So it's often difficult to get Chinese movies to premiere at the same time......
"Saving Private Ryan" is different, this movie first became popular in Europe, so it was easier to release it in Europe. I also broke through a lot of levels.
As a result, the box office of "Saving Private Ryan" in Europe also began to blow out......
After the first week passed, "Saving Private Ryan" won the overall European box office for that week!
It's a shocking thing!
In Asia, counting China, the total box office of "Saving Private Ryan" reached 1.85 billion national dollars, and in Europe, the total box office also reached 900 million. Adding up, the total box office of "Saving Private Ryan" is 2.75 billion, and after counting the release in other regions, the global box office of "Saving Private Ryan" in the first week has reached 2.8 billion!
So. The strong rise of the two markets in Europe and Asia has made "Saving Private Ryan" the global weekly box office champion this week!
With a box office of 2.8 billion, it really deserves the title of last week's box office champion! Of course, there are some other reasons for this, but the objective results cannot be changed. That is, "Saving Private Ryan" won the weekly box office championship......
When Li Chencan heard this result. I even felt like I was almost in tears.
This is not to say that he is too sentimental, but as a member of Chinese filmmakers in another time and space, Li Chencan really finds it difficult to hide his emotions about everything in front of him...... At that time and space, the mainland box office of Chinese films was basically the global box office...... After Zhang Yimou's era, Chinese films began to decline again. Even the Southeast Asian market can't hold on.
There is no doubt that Chinese films in that time and space basically did not have much influence. So a film like "Saving Private Ryan" was made in that time and space, even before the Americans...... The box office is also miserable, and it is almost impossible to replicate Hollywood movies in the Chinese film market to counterattack Hollywood, so many discourse entertainment novels are actually just a beautiful imagination.
The cultural influence has not reached that level, there is no cultural discourse, and many things are in vain!
There is no doubt about that.
And in this time and space, under this brilliant and gorgeous background, "Saving Private Ryan" has finally found an excellent stage.
This week's box office champion also made Li Chencan have mixed feelings because of this reason, and the satisfaction in his heart was undeniable.
The source of the box office blowout of "Saving Private Ryan" within the scope of the world is very simple, that is, it comes from the super high reputation of this film......
The reputation of this film is really good, and the scenes and emotions of the movie are worthy of movie fans to go to the theater to watch, so it is natural that the box office of the movie is very high.
It is under such circumstances that the box office of "Saving Private Ryan" can also rise.
Moreover, the fact that "Saving Private Ryan" was very high at the box office also reached the ears of others.
On this day, Chen Ziqing was busy with her daytime work, and after the New Year, her work will gradually become a state of handover, the reason is that she will go abroad for a period of time, and the place where she goes abroad is what she told Li Chencan before.
In fact, she didn't just go to learn something, but also because she wanted to avoid the upcoming storm.
When the political storm broke out, she didn't want to be in the center of the whirlpool, of course, this was more what her father meant.
When she was busy with work, Chen Ziting returned home as usual, and her father came back late today, but he came to the outside of Chen Ziqing's room specially, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, but when he spoke, his tone was relatively light: "The film you asked me to watch casually a few days ago, well, today the Ministry of Culture specially told me about it, and it was very good." My few words are worth it. ”
It's a very good evaluation, especially in front of herself, for her father, it's really not easy.
Chen Ziqing squinted her eyes and smiled, Li Chencan's film, of course, she knew the storm caused recently, and the double expansion of box office and word-of-mouth made him suddenly transform into a famous new director in the world.
And the movie has indeed brought a baptism of values and historical outlook to everyone, and the image of the Chinese army is also within the scope of the world, because the influence of this movie is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
No wonder his father praised him......
Chen Ziqing was also a little relieved, Li Chencan was really getting more and more powerful.
In the past few days, the word-of-mouth expansion of "Saving Private Ryan" in the place where it was released has been quite good.
Needless to say in China, so many fans, even if they are not fans of Li Chencan, have expressed the highest degree of support for this movie, the box office has soared, and word of mouth is also rising.
On the seventh film and pod movie network, the scores of "Saving Private Ryan" reached 8.5 and 8.8 points respectively, this time, "Saving Private Ryan" got such a high rating on the pod movie network, which is dominated by literary and artistic youth, but it surpassed Seventh Pictures, and it is conceivable what kind of word-of-mouth storm "Saving Private Ryan" bringed.
Moreover, these two places are not so highly rated by the small number of ratings, in fact, the number of ratings for "Saving Private Ryan" on these two websites has exceeded 50,000 in just five days, and will soon exceed the 100,000 mark!
With so many people ratings, the reputation of "Saving Private Ryan" is still so good, and the reputation of this movie in China is indeed quite good.
On the Red Cat movie network, the praise rate of "Saving Private Ryan" is 94%, and there are more than 500 reviews from professionally certified film critics, which is starting to approach "Infernal Affairs".
…… Countless praises are coming out -
"The benchmark work of World War II movies, purely exploring the art of war, then "Saving Private Ryan" is a good choice, Li Chencan used the age of 22, but with a gaze that penetrates time and space, to carve such a masterpiece!"
"I'm crying to death, my eyes are swollen when I'm really crying...... Li Chencan, you compensate me for tears. ”
"Li Chencan's real blockbuster, the beach rush at the beginning and the bloody battle at the end, the camera position control is magical, and the main and secondary close-ups are like a surviving World War II League veteran spitting on his reminiscences. In the ruined bridgehead of the final battle, behind Captain Wang Kaiguo is the endless remnant sun, and in front of him is the end of this slightly ridiculous task, and in front of him is Li Ruien's tomorrow...... This footage can no longer be expelled from my mind. ”
…… The comments of the fans, one by one, were written after careful consideration, but basically all of them were praised.
The media and many professional film critics, and reviews from professional film magazines are also coming out one after another-
"The movie is about war, it can be scored full marks, about the theme, it can be scored 8 points, about human nature, it can still be scored full marks! This is a wonderful movie that is outside the theme, but unexpected. —China Film Magazine.
"One of the best war movies of all time, and the best World War II war movie, Li Chencan's calm third-person vision has made "Saving Private Ryan" a classic." ——China's Big Screen Times magazine.
The film's praise in China has brought about a crazy growth in the box office, and in foreign countries, the praise is definitely not low.
And many of them are praised in some authoritative places.
"A milestone in war films, a breakthrough in Chinese war films." - Japan's "Great Filmmaker" magazine.
"The cruelty and reality of the battle scenes in this film, the reality of the bloodshed and sacrifice, so far no other movie can catch up, this is another shocking work of Li Chencan after "Infernal Affairs". This film does not encourage morale, but it tells the story of life and obedience to orders in the most authentic way. —Globe Cinema Magazine, Italy.
"Saving Private Ryan recreates the magnificent scenes of the earth-shattering Normandy landings more than 70 years ago, and makes people witness the fierceness and cruelty of the war in a horrific way. Spectacular battle scenes, bloody Normandy battles, the entire Omaha beach was stained red with the blood of soldiers. The film's technique shows the bloody battlefield, which is shocking, and the young director also portrays the individuals in the war in acceptable means, which is a new breakthrough in Chinese World War II films. —Cinémathèque magazine, France.
In this way, "Saving Private Ryan" has achieved a double-line extreme expansion of box office and word-of-mouth. (To be continued......)
