Chapter 35: Attacking Overseas Markets
Feng Meng's words offended the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
Most of those actors and actresses have a background in the Black Society.
If you want to develop in that era, you must have a backer.
Everyone has a big guy behind them.
So they won't let him go easily.
For a while, all forces were ready to move, and they were all looking for an opportunity to move Feng Meng.
No matter what Feng Meng and they say, the most important thing is to speak with the results of their works.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, three movies were released at the same time.
As a commercial blockbuster with an investment of more than two billion, Ocean's 18 involves too many interests of all parties.
Therefore, the proportion of films given by theaters is very high, accounting for almost seventy percent.
Kung Fu Football, with the name of Zhou Xiaoxing, almost divided the remaining 30% with Zhi Qingchun.
Other movies released at the same time have completely become cannon fodder, with almost no film schedules, and there are only two or three shows a day.
Soon the box office results of the first day came out.
Eighteen Arhats stood out with a box office of 400 million.
Kung fu football barely exceeds 100 million.
To the youth completely hit the street, only less than 50 million.
However, the word-of-mouth of the three films has been polarized.
The audience was very disappointed with the Eighteen Arhats, and felt that it was completely the fame of selling the actor and the actress.
The storyline is childish, there is no content to speak of, and only special effects can tell about the past.
But its special effects can't compare to Hollywood's special effects, and it's nondescript.
As for youth, the reputation is too bad.
The storyline is too old-fashioned, and you know the end after reading the beginning.
The plot is simple and has no waves.
Even the emotional conflict between the male and female protagonists is very perfunctory.
This kind of movie that sells feelings, once it is not recognized by the audience, can almost be sentenced to death.
Only Kung Fu Football has been highly praised by the audience.
"Originally, I thought it was fried cold rice, plagiarizing Shaolin football more than ten years ago. I didn't expect the storyline to be so bloody, every game was exciting, and in the end, Ah Xing singled out the opponent's whole team's goal, and I cried. The special effects are very good, much better than the five-cent special effects of the Eighteen Arhats. ”
"Upstairs, the kung fu football propaganda said that there were no special effects, and it was completely the effect that the actor put forward by his personal ability. It's just that light effects were added in post-production, etc., to visualize the male protagonist's super ability. ”
"If he's really that good, kneel and beg him to go to the national football team. We can win the next World Cup. ”
Football has always been a worldwide topic, and when everyone extends from the movie to the football itself, it is enough to show how successful the film is.
At the request of the audience, the theater changed the film schedule.
The filming ratio of Kung Fu Football has risen to 40%, and 18 Arhats have been lowered by 10%.
At the end of the second day, the box office of Kung Fu Football came to 500 million, and the single-day box office was close to 400 million.
Due to word-of-mouth problems, although there are many films, the box office is not good, and the single-day box office is only 200 million.
Although the producers of Ocean's Eighteen repeatedly asked the theater to maintain the film scheduling ratio, the theater refused.
Obviously, kung fu football is more profitable, and theaters must of course continue to increase the proportion of films.
On the fourth day, the proportion of kung fu football came to 60%, and the 18 Arhats dropped to 30%.
From this point on, the box office of Kung Fu Football began to break and set records.
On this day alone, more than 100 million viewers went to the cinema to watch it.
Previous movies have broken various records by days or even months.
The movie is amazing, breaking various records in hours and even minutes.
At noon on the fifth day of release, the total domestic box office of Kung Fu Football reached 6 billion, setting a new record for the box office of Chinese films.
The sixth day coincided with Saturday, and the single-day box office reached a terrifying 4 billion, setting a single-day box office record in the history of world cinema.
Mainly because the movie is good-looking, many people who have watched it go back to watch it a second or even a third time, so it will maintain the trend of more than 100 million people watching the movie in a single day.
With such a strong box office appeal, various movie theaters have completely abandoned other films.
The eighteen arhats released at the same time can only be scheduled for two shows a day.
To youth, other movies went offline.
The rest of the time is all about playing Kung Fu Soccer.
At 12 o'clock in the evening of the seventh day, the total domestic box office of Kung Fu Football exceeded 15 billion.
Movies are like infectious diseases, and everyone says yes, and more people will watch them.
If everyone says it's not good, then no one will watch it.
There are so many movie theaters in the whole of Huaxia, and many people can't queue up to buy tickets for "Kung Fu Football", which leads to fights and other incidents in many theaters.
The theater came up with a way to raise the ticket price.
From the original 40 sheets, it was directly raised to 80 sheets.
Theaters thought that this would limit the number of moviegoers.
However, they were wrong.
The Chinese people pay attention to a card.
Suppose a person who is close to him has gone to see this movie, and he hasn't.
He will feel very shameless, because he thinks that everyone will think that he thinks that the ticket price is expensive and looks down on him.
For the sake of this face, he also had to go to see it once.
It's like when the fruit mobile phone first came out, men sold their kidneys, women sold their bodies, and they all had to buy one, just for that poor vanity.
Now that the ticket price has gone up, the demand is even greater.
Because everyone thinks that if you can watch this movie, you are rich, and if you look down on it, you are poor.
The irrationality of the audience directly pushed the box office of Kung Fu Football to a new peak again.
On the eighth day, the single-day box office exceeded 10 billion.
This record has no one before it, and probably no one will come after it.
Wang Jing was watching the news on the hospital bed at this time, and he was already crying.
He thought that he had brought in 30 actors and actresses to realize his wish for a total box office of 20 billion.
But under the strength of kung fu football, the box office of 18 Oceans has just exceeded one billion, and the cost has not even been recovered.
The domestic popularity has also accelerated the release of kung fu football in other countries.
The most important thing is, of course, the rice market.
However, at this time, there are three blockbuster movies to be released in Hollywood.
These three films are not small, they are from Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Twentieth Century Pictures, all of which are well-known big companies.
Paramount produced "Transformers 10" this time, which is known as the end of the series.
The storyline is more intricate, the special effects are better, and it is said to be the best in this series.
Universal's production of "Fast and Furious 20" this time is also known as the final chapter of the series.
This time, it is even more exaggerated to let one person single-handedly pick up an aircraft carrier battle group.
It focuses on brainless personal heroism and special effects.
Twentieth Century Studios produced "Avengers 15", and the legend is the final episode of the series.
This is the ultimate version of the personal heroism of the Chinese movie.
In addition to the heroes that appeared in the previous version, heroes from other countries have also been added.
For example, the Monkey King of Huaxia, Ultraman of the island country, Du Minjun of the stick country, etc.
They thought that by adding these heroes, they could improve the box office performance of the film in these countries.
The three movies are menacing, and "Kung Fu Football" has to go head-to-head with them.
