Chapter 0762 - The Biggest Winner
Compared with these three domestic blockbusters that far exceeded the expectations of fans, the ratings of the lighthouse blockbusters released in the same period are much lower, none of them are more than 9 points, all hovering around 8.5 points, and the highest one is 8.9 points.
I don't know when it began, the attitude of Chinese fans towards blockbusters in the lighthouse country has begun to change.
In the past, as long as it was a blockbuster in the lighthouse country, it was crazy to blow, even if it was a slot, it would be interpreted as a cultural difference between the East and the West and be understood, in a word: don't scold, scolding is your soil, and you don't understand the culture of the lighthouse country.
And now, fans are getting picky. Even if it is a blockbuster in the lighthouse country, it is not wrong to shoot it badly!
Is the quality of the three Lighthouse Nation blockbusters really bad this year?
Not really.
It's just that there are a lot of gaps compared to some classic lighthouse country blockbusters.
In the general opinion of Chinese movie fans, a lighthouse blockbuster should be of that level, and if you can't reach it, you're smashing your own golden signboard.
It's like a good student who used to score more than 95 points, but now he suddenly scores 80 points? You can't scold this?
And the same domestic movie with a score of 80 is about to be praised to the sky, who made them fail to even score 60 points before?
It's very grassy.
These lighthouse country directors and producers are also very aggrieved in their hearts after watching it, why do lighthouse country blockbusters have to be strict? The Chinese are too much! It's clearly targeting them on purpose!
Of course, when the movie is promoted, the golden sign of the lighthouse country blockbuster still has to be played.
……
The box office data of the first week was released, and "The Bund" topped the box office list in China with a box office of 1.37 billion!
As soon as this box office result came out, many filmmakers seemed to have lemons.
You must know that the film investment of "The Bund" is only 100 million, in fact, it has already paid back at the box office the next day, and now it has been released for a week, which is already much more than other people's movies. What's more, there are at least two months left in the future to continue to earn box office!
The second place is "Long Hate Days", with the advantages of the original work and the inclination of theater resources, it successfully surpassed the second place "Those Years" three days after its release. The box office in the first week was 1.22 billion!
However, considering its investment of 500 million, in fact, this box office has not yet paid off. But fortunately, the Chinese New Year has just begun, and if you are optimistic, there will be more than two months to go, and you will definitely earn it in the end, and you can make a lot of money.
The third place in the box office "Those Years", with a box office of 1.09 billion in the first week.
So far, the top three domestic box office are all domestic movies!
For a while, various entertainment media went crazy.
You must know that there is no domestic film protection period in China in this world, and the blockbusters of the lighthouse country introduced into China are released in the same schedule as them!
The box office war is naturally very tragic, and for a long time in the past, the top rankings were all lighthouse blockbusters. Even if domestic films have begun to rise in recent years, there are often films that surpass the blockbusters of the Lighthouse Country, such as a few films produced by Tomahawk Pictures, but after all, they are only a few. And like now, the top three on the list are all domestic blockbusters, and it is the first time in the past ten years that they have appeared!
This seems to be a terrible signal, and more and more fans are beginning to believe that Chinese movies really seem to be rising?
Of course, the blockbuster films of the lighthouse country are still very good, and the three movies released in China during the Chinese New Year this year all entered the top ten, even the one with the worst box office performance has a box office of 810 million.
Another thing that has been touted by the media is the performance of domestic films overseas this year.
This year, three domestic films were released overseas simultaneously, "The Bund", "Those Years" and "Long Hate Days". Except for "Long Hate", the other two are produced by Tomahawk Pictures.
Among the three movies, "The Bund" has the highest box office, and it received a box office of 180 million dollars in one week of release!
The second-ranked "Long Hate Sky" also received a box office of 120 million dollars, and it has gained the love of many Xianxia fans overseas, and is known as another fantasy film from the East! Of course, some people commented that it was not as good as "Zhuxian 1", and it was significantly inferior to "Zhuxian 1" in terms of special effects, costumes, props, makeup, etc.
But in fact, this is also something that can't be helped, no matter how hard they work, the gap in the strength of their own production team is there, and it can't be ignored at all.
When Tomahawk Pictures filmed "Zhuxian 1", it invested not only the big investment of 650 million in the movie itself, but also the top production team behind it with high salaries from all over the world!
However, what makes Lin Guiyi and others more sad is not this, what really makes them sad is that no matter how high the overseas box office performance of this movie is, it has nothing to do with them.
The overseas rights of this film, they have already sold it to Tomahawk Pictures for 150 million.
So, in fact, the overseas revenue of these three films is Tomahawk Pictures.
Blood loss!
I don't know if the person in charge of the negotiations with Tomahawk Pictures will be fired.
Compared with these two movies, the box office performance of "Those Years" overseas is obviously much worse, with a box office of only more than 80 million dollars in the first week, mainly supported by overseas Chinese.
Foreigners are not interested in seeing the movie reviews complaining.
Of course, the overseas first-week box office of 80 million dollars is still bloody for this Chinese film with an investment of only 60 million yuan.
Finally, more and more people are starting to react.
The biggest winner of this year's box office war, it seems to be Tomahawk Pictures?
Or to be precise, the Tomahawk group.
Because not only Tomahawk Pictures is crazy to attract money by relying on the Spring Festival stalls, but even Tomahawk Animation has also made new works popular with its popularity.
The animation "Huaguo Poetry Cloud" was launched on the first day of the Lunar New Year on 233 stations.
The first episode of "Yuan Ri" is very appropriate, and it is about the Chinese Spring Festival in ancient times. Accompanied by melodious singing, from the perspective of a child, the audience will be taken to see the traditions and customs of the Jiading Spring Festival 400 years ago.
In the sound of firecrackers, children play together, fathers take wooden ladders to paste Spring Festival couplets and hang lanterns, and mothers are busy in the kitchen with a sumptuous New Year's dinner. The child came to the kitchen to steal food, and was caught by his father, who followed the traditional etiquette. In the countryside and fields, there are many people who come to pay New Year's greetings in horse-drawn carriages as formal rituals. A bowl of "New Year's soup" for guests, simple and warm blends, conveying the taste of the ancient Spring Festival.
It doesn't actually have a plot to speak of, there's no beginning, turn, climax, and end, and the animation of more than five minutes is very flat from beginning to end.
It's like a vlog (video blog) of the ancients recording their lives.
But many people on the barrage are exclaiming, because many New Year's customs from more than 400 years ago are still preserved and can still be recognized.
Of course, not everywhere you have.
Another thing that makes people feel very comfortable is its painting style and background music, and the ink painting style is very distinctive.
"The sound of firecrackers in the year old except,
The spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.
Thousands of households,
Always replace the new peach with the old charm. ”
This ancient poem, which many people memorized when they were students, sang it in the form of a ballad and made many people's eyes shine.
Inexplicably, I think it sounds good.
