Monday, June 17.

In New York and the magic capital of China in the United States, a magic movie opened the door to premiere in two countries at the same time - "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", which has undoubtedly become the hottest movie topic at the moment.

Whether it's North America or China, it's all like this!

And this situation is not only because the producer of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is one of the big five in Hollywood, with an investment of more than 200 million US dollars, which is a well-deserved super blockbuster this summer vacation, but also because it is adapted from Laobai's picture book of the same name, which has millions, if not tens of millions, of readers around the world!

If you only talk about influence, of course, the picture books of this world can't be compared with those on the earth, after all, it is a first book that has sold nearly 100 million, which can almost be compared to the existence of "The Lord of the Rings", but the "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe" in this world also has a place that cannot be compared with the earth - the identity of the author!

Lao Bai's fans in Huaxia are also nearly 100 million.

And even in the Western world of this world, the name of laobai is no worse than the author of the original version...... No, it should be said that it is even higher. In recent years, he has accumulated a very large number of fans through music and movies in Europe and the United States, and with the advantages of the type of work and the times, it is naturally appropriate to surpass the original author.

What's more, there is also a gimmick for the release of four major productions in the summer vacation!

Not only in China, but also in other countries in Asia, and even in Europe, America and Oceania, wherever Chen Feifei and Luo Cheng have wreaked havoc, or where movies such as "Criminal Minds", "League of Assassins" and "The Matrix" have been released and achieved good results, these four movies are like four extraterrestrial meteorites falling from the sky, even if some places may be a little smaller, but there is no doubt that all of them have made a commotion!

Can it be more exaggerated than the 2,000-year-old "Lao Bai's summer vacation file", who is not curious about this?

And what the audience is curious about is what the theaters are pursuing.

Therefore, even if "Mulan", "Tomb Raider" and "Hero" are pure Chinese animation and Chinese movies, but with the help of the distribution channels that Chinese filmmakers broke out with costume blockbusters in the past few years; Second, with the opening of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and the strong support of Hollywood distributors, the overseas release arrangements of the three films have gone much smoother.

It's obviously something that makes money, who wouldn't want to do it?

So in this summer vacation, "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe", which is hung with Lao Bai's name and released for the first time, has certainly attracted the attention of countless people.

Hollywood giant Higers Films has done the promotion of the movie to the extreme!

"Whether it's North America or Europe, you've set a new record!"

On the car that went to the premiere site, Liu Chang said calmly: "More than 4,000 theaters in North America have been released, which is twice as much as "Hero", "Mulan" is 2.4 times that of, and "Tomb Raider" is nearly three times as much...... The situation is similar in Europe. That is, in Asia, including Japan and South Korea, the film schedule of "Hero" and "Mulan" can barely see people's backs, but the gap between "Tomb Raider" is not small! ”

"Hehe, it's already pretty good."

After hearing this series of figures, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction.

With such a result, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

At least compared to most ...... It should be said that for the vast majority of Chinese films, and even for big productions in any country except Hollywood, such a number is already very satisfying. After all, although today's Chinese movies are becoming more and more famous in the world, there is still a long way to go if they want to catch up with Hollywood, even Sun Peng's movies are no exception!

"In the final analysis, the foundation of those three movies is still in China!"

After thinking for a while, Sun Peng's eyes narrowed and he said: "As long as the domestic audience likes it and captures their hearts, it means that there is enough hope to recover all the costs!" Make sure that the movie doesn't lose money first, and then think about opening up overseas markets or shooting sequels, that's the right thing to do. ”

If you can't keep it in China, you want to have so much use?

Whether it is the world or the Hollywood of this world, there are often some movies that are average at the North American box office, but are big hits in China or around the world. People dare to play like this because the giants know that the overseas market is much larger than the domestic market, especially Huaxia, the world's largest single market, is definitely worth making a super blockbuster for it.

But who has the confidence in Chinese movies?

Anyway, Sun Peng himself doesn't dare much, even if he can come up with the most classic works of Hollywood on the earth, who can guarantee that they will be released on a large scale all over the world? Guaranteed that audiences in other countries will enjoy it as always?

Therefore, what Sun Peng values most now is domestic, and then overseas.

At least from the point of view of the film scheduling rate, it is also the domestic audience and the theater chain that give more face to the name Lao Bai, and Lotus and Forbidden City Pictures are also more powerful......

After chatting a few words, Liu Chang glanced out the window, then looked at his watch again and said, "It's almost there...... It happens that the time is about the same, and you should be the finale. However, there are not many people here today, and it is far worse than "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone". ”

When he said these words, Liu Chang's expression seemed to be a little unhappy.

Although Sun Peng did not personally come forward to invite anyone, Haimensi Pictures' background in China is not bad, can such a big-name movie be released without inviting stars to come over to cheer? But as far as Liu Chang knows, there are really not many big names in the domestic film and television industry or the music industry, that is, there are two or three kittens, and compared with the "Han Bo and Lingshi" in the Chinese New Year file, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth!

Thinking that this was Sun Peng's first shot in the summer vacation, Liu Chang was naturally quite disappointed.

"Hahaha......"

Seeing his assistant's unhappy look, Sun Peng suddenly laughed: "Sister Chang, because the distance between July 4th and June 20th is too close!" ”

He knows that there are not many friends who came today.

After listening to Sun Peng's words, Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately widened his eyes and said in surprise: "July 4th? You mean...... Heroes? ”

"Oh, yes!"

The corners of his mouth curved an arc, Sun Peng nodded with a smile: "So, if you are my friend in the circle and you don't have a lot of free time, which premiere would you like to attend?" One is a picture book adapted from me, and it is a big investment and big production of Hollywood giants, and the other is a film that I wrote and directed myself and values more, although the investment and fame are relatively weak...... Think about it, which one will you attend? ”

“…… All right. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Liu Chang was speechless.

Which is more important?

She doesn't have to think about following Sun Peng every day, she knows which one this kid values more! It can even be said that the status of the two movies in Sun Peng's heart is not a level at all!

So after understanding, Liu Chang suddenly frowned and asked suspiciously: "I said, you won't be ...... Did you say hello to those people in advance? Otherwise, even if everyone had a choice in their hearts, there wouldn't be so few people coming today, right? ”

"Hey, hey."

didn't answer this question directly, but after the assistant saw the weird smile on Sun Peng's face, could he still understand the truth of the matter? So after a pause, Liu Chang rolled his eyes, shook his head helplessly, and said, "You......"
