"Don't you feel familiar? Now this scene, similar dialogue, haven't you remembered yet? Miss Hermione smiled, turned to Sister Stone, and said, "It's strange, what are the conditions for awakening?" I used to think it was enough mental stimulation, but it didn't seem quite right. Isn't that enough stimulation for her? ”

"Maybe it's the lack of cages?" Sister Shi smiled.

"Can't bring it in." Miss Hermione shook her head, "Do you want us to put her in a cage and give her to Ning?" Customs can't be passed, our private jet will take a few months, and we shouldn't have ordered a 747. ”

Miss Hermione sat on Miss Roberts' back and continued to stimulate her.

How could it not be familiar, all this is too familiar, this is Miss Roberts's nightmare!

The work of persuasion became easy all at once.

Miss Roberts, who was skeptical, decided to go along and have a look.

There is another important factor that makes Miss Roberts make up her mind, it is really that the behavior of the two Bichi in the past year is too suspicious, suddenly rich, too enviable, jealous and hateful!

……

Avoiding the war in The Hunger Games, Ning Yun gained a lot in terms of health. In any case, it's better to live less comfortably than to die.

However, Ning Yun estimates that only in this kind of movie can you brush your health value very coolly, and you can't brush movies with few dead people, you have to save the world more than saving the world.

"The Hunger Games" is a very interesting movie, and before its release in North America, it set a movie ticket pre-sale record, surpassing "Twilight 3: Lunar Eclipse" two years ago.

The total global box office is close to $700 million, but the main box office comes from North America and Europe, for example, the North American box office is as high as 4. 0.8 billion US dollars.

In North America, more than $400 million at the domestic box office is a staggering achievement, for example, The Hunger Games 4. $0.8 billion at the domestic box office. surpassed the local box office of the global hit movie "Frozen", which was released the following year.

In the all-time box office charts in North America, "The Hunger Games" ranked eleventh at that time, and even today, "The Hunger Games" is ranked eighteenth.

But outside of North America and Europe, The Hunger Games generally did not do well at the box office. For example, China and Japan.

As the most important film introduced by Lionsgate in China, "The Hunger Games", which firmly occupies the first place in terms of film rate, has a box office of only 1. 700 million yuan, lined up to more than 200 people, I'm really sorry for the strong publicity before the release, and the first special version trailer for the domestic market.

Not only is the box office bad, but the word-of-mouth is also ordinary.

After watching it, most people feel that this film, the plot, the actors. The acting, action scenes, and special effects are all ordinary, and they are as lukewarm as water.

In Japan, the treatment is almost the same, and "The Hunger Games", which is known as the "Battle Royale" in North America, is generally not interested in the Japanese.

It's not a big failure. It can also be counted as an ordinary failure.

It is seriously inconsistent with the popular scene in North America.

So various analyses came out. The prevailing view is to emphasize aesthetic differences.

There are also some people who say that domestic audiences prefer big scenes, big actions, big excitement, and special effects are best used in explosions, and "The Hunger Games", which has only one explosion, is full of urine spots.

In Ning Yun's opinion. In fact, this difference is not difficult to understand.

The main reason is the difference caused by the different living environment and the different social environment.

In North America and Europe, Katniss's experience is very immersive for the girls, and everyone is wondering, what would I do if I were Katniss.

How to stay human in the brutal Hunger Games. Don't lose yourself, how to deal with love, and deal with so many people who like you......

And this sense of substitution has been lost in China, Japan and other countries.

What kind of human nature is considered, you don't even need to think about whether you can help or not, isn't it weak to consider human nature.

As with Battle Royale, it's the right thing to hack others to death.

Although there are several boys who love themselves very well, they are not happy without a president!

President Snow should obviously be a domineering president in his twenties, at most thirty years old!

Falling in love with a cute boy who is weak is not exciting at all.

Sinner, Black Secret, is not in line with aesthetics and does not meet the expectations of the character.

In North America, teen movies like to tell stories about teenagers growing up, encountering conflicts, and then growing up again, and even resolving conflicts is not so important.

Such a model, outside of North America, is not very pleasing.

To put it simply, it is troublesome to grow, and it is easiest to hack all competitors to death.

If "The Hunger Games" takes a girl like the Bow and Arrow Girl as the protagonist, participates in the Hunger Games with all her heart, kills others with all her heart, and then becomes the winner, walks to the peak of life, and catches the rich and handsome, it will definitely have a sense of substitution and will be a hit at the box office.

The vaguely flickering political aspect is also childish in the eyes of most viewers.

Adapt to power, fight hard to be a hero, challenge power, and be a fool from the beginning.

There are no big scenes, no excitement, and all kinds of concepts are not agreed, so it is strange that there can be a good box office.

In general, whether it is Japanese or Chinese, life is very real, and what is needed is excitement and rest outside of reality.

For others, their lives are too bland, and how can they be profoundly reflected without entanglement.

So when it is deep enough in reality, and often faces a deeper test of human nature, entertainment in the movie is enough.

In North America, Jennifer Lawrence's popularity advantage is also a guarantee of high box office.

Although she was not loved by the whole American in later years, "Winter's Bones" and "X-Men: First Fight" have made her gain a lot of loyal fans.

In particular, the amazing performance of "Winter Bones" has made too many people unforgettable.

Gary Ross, the director of "The Hunger Games", also saw the film and decided to find Jennifer Lawrence to play Katniss.

Even if he is several years older, there are almost no other options in terms of overall measurement, box office appeal, and the person who can play the role of Katniss well.

And Jennifer Lawrence did play this role well, under the calm exterior. It has a very explosive and amazing nature show.

But this kind of performance, outside of Europe and the United States, is difficult to be appreciated.

The first is Jennifer Lawrence's appearance, even in North America, it is difficult to be considered beautiful, but such a slightly ordinary and relatable appearance. It is easiest for girls in North America to have a sense of substitution.

Secondly, people with a personality like Katniss are too difficult to understand.

In North America, most aspects of "The Hunger Games" are just right, with a sense of substitution, novelty, and the content of the discussion will not be too profound, and it seems that there is still a certain connotation.

Not only is it popular with teenagers, but it has a good reputation. A lot of adults like it too.

So the high local box office that was finally achieved is understandable.

Just like a film like "Little Times", in other places, it can't do well anyway.

It's all too targeted in one region and inexplicable in other regions.

……

"The Hunger Games" is the first movie in the original fan bonus series, and it is extremely difficult to change.

The films in the early years were fine, but in recent years, the division of labor has been fine. A commercial film with a clear purpose, any slight change. There are many aspects involved.

Fortunately, after Ning Yun's change, it was not just one person who was affected, but the entire creative team.

Of course, even then, it's not that easy.

But it's not that difficult, and the key is influence.

For example, in Ningyun, "The Hunger Games" was very successful. But it could have been more successful.

The simplest is character selection.

In a sense, The Hunger Games can be seen as a chick movie even if many people deny it, so the importance of casting is self-evident, especially for male characters.

According to Ning Yun's understanding. When it came to casting, the film's director, Gary Ross, and the original book's author, Susan Collins, were at odds with each other.

The female author of the original book does not like Jennifer Lawrence, dislikes her for being too old, and does not fit the impression of Katniss as petite.

The director, on the other hand, can't stand the female author's meddling in the male role.

Because of the authoress, Josh Hutcherson was strongly designated to play the role of Peeta.

In other words, the director likes the heroine Jennifer Lawrence, and the authoress doesn't.

The authoress liked Josh Hutcherson, but the director didn't.

In the end, the two compromised with each other.

In hindsight, Jennifer Lawrence's role as Katniss was very successful, and although it didn't quite fit the feel of the original Katniss, it was extremely popular.

Josh Hutcherson's Pita is very ordinary, far from being successful.

What Ning Yun finds a little funny is that, like China, the attraction of Ji Nan Xiao Xianrou to rotten female authors knows no borders.

Josh Hutcherson was a gay man hidden in a glass case, and everyone knew he was just one step away from coming out.

Not only did he participate in same-sex rights protection activities many times, but he also publicly declared in the interview that he might like a man next year.

The eldest cousin, Jennifer Lawrence, also broke the news that in the second part, Josh Hutcherson and Sam Claflin were in love and inseparable......

Objectively speaking, Josh Hutcherson does not meet the tastes of most people, except for the taste of the original author.

The character of Peeta originally had a lot of room to play, throughout the four Hunger Games films, and was definitely a character that should have caused fans to scream, but in the end there was no response.

Whether it is an actor with excellent acting skills or a good-looking actor, it is more suitable than Josh Hutcherson.

Before The Hunger Games, the most analogous and closest movie was the "Twilight" series.

is also a girl's perspective, and the fan appeal of the male protagonist of that movie doesn't need to be said at all.

At the box office alone, the Twilight series is also more successful than the Hunger Games series.

The Hunger Games is a full series of four, and the cost is 78m + 130m + 135m + 160m, for a total of 4. 9.3 billion US dollars, the total box office is, 694m+865m+755m+653m, a total of 29. $6.7 billion.

The Twilight has a full series of five, and the cost is 37m + 50m + 68m + 110m + 120m, for a total of 3. $8.5 billion, the total box office is, 394m + 710m + 699m + 712m + 830m, a total of 33. $4.5 billion.

The cost of The Hunger Games has a box office ratio of 6.0, and the cost of Twilight has a box office ratio of 8.7, so on the surface, it can be seen that Twilight makes more money than The Hunger Games, not to mention that the peripheral videos and other revenues of the Twilight series are also more than the Hunger Games series.

Of course, what is more conspicuous is the strong ability of this series of movies to earn box office, the ability to make steady profits.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been desperately trying to shoot movies like the "Divergent" series and the "Moving Labyrinth" series.

With less risk, high income, great influence, abundant surroundings, better long-term influence and income, who wouldn't love a series of movies like this.

The Hunger Games is not as successful as the Twilight series because of some off-screen factors, 2012 to 2016 was the peak of Jennifer Lawrence's cooking season, and no actress of the same age, or even an actor of the same age, was more popular with the people of the whole United States.

Such a situation is extremely advantageous for pulling up the box office.

At the peak of Jennifer Lawrence's career, the Hunger Games franchise is important, but by no means the most important. The most important is the charismatic personality of Jennifer Lawrence, and the acting skills of actresses who far surpass those of her age.

It is the public who likes her, and it is the public who recognizes her.

Without The Hunger Games, she's also the incomparable Jennifer Lawrence.

"Twilight" is different, Kristen Stewart is also very popular, but almost all of her popularity depends on "Twilight", without "Twilight", she is an insignificant little actor.

"Twilight" made Kristen Stewart, and Jennifer Lawrence and "The Hunger Games" made each other, at least. Strictly speaking, The Hunger Games took advantage of more Jennifer Lawrence.

As for Emma Watson, Miss Hermione forever, without Harry Potter, who knows who she is?!

Emma Stone is better and more independent than Kristen Stewart and Emma Watson.

In "The Amazing Spider-Man", she is a little better than a vase, and leaving this movie, she is also very charismatic, but much worse than Jennifer Lawrence.

Therefore, the box office potential of the "Twilight" series of movies itself far exceeds that of the "Hunger Games" series. If the budget of the first part is wider and the director is better, it is likely that "Twilight" will choose a better heroine and get a higher box office, and the whole series will benefit.

And "The Hunger Games", there is absolutely no way to choose a better heroine. Choosing Jennifer Lawrence is simply not right in the right way.

PS: It's getting harder and harder to change, and that's the same dilemma of this novel.

For example, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I really can't think of how to change the movie in reality to be reasonable.

The plot in the movie still has a degree of freedom to play, but when it comes to changes in reality, Hollywood movies with a fine division of labor and clear commercialization, it is unimaginable to change any point.

Not to mention that there are four factors that must be met. Reasonable changes, which seem to increase the box office, actually pull down the box office, within the framework of the cinematic universe, cannot affect other films.

A Spider-Man 2 is all about failure, so it seems that there is a little possibility, which is far from reasonable.

So I always dare not touch Marvel's movies, if it is a simple infinite stream, the constraints are much smaller. (To be continued.) )
