Chapter 484: The Staring Man is officially released
Xu Nan's bold words soon reached the ears of insiders.
"Hearing these words makes my blood boil."
"That is, why does everyone say that Hollywood movies are better than domestic movies, but we all know the facts that Hollywood also has bad movies."
"But their good movies are indeed much better than those in China, especially the special effects."
"That's not a reason for us to give in."
"I have to say that Xu Nan's words made me have a great impression of him, and I will obey him for his spirit of daring to fight bayonets with Hollywood blockbusters."
"Xu Nan has really done a very good job in this regard, and the domestic film industry really needs a big director to stand up and resist Hollywood movies head-on, but other big directors have never said anything, but I didn't expect that the controversial Xu Nan was the one who fired the first shot."
"If you think about it carefully, Xu Nan is also the only person who is qualified to compete with Hollywood movies, because he has defeated Hollywood blockbusters head-on, and he also won an annual box office championship in the United States."
"However, his last victory over Hollywood blockbusters mainly relied on luck, and no one would admit that the quality of domestic films has improved, at most Xu Nan will be able to market."
"But at least it won."
"I don't know what the quality of "Staring Man" is, if the quality is too poor, the backlash will be great."
"Xu Nan dares to say that, the quality must not be bad."
"In fact, you don't need to reach the level of a Hollywood blockbuster, you only need to have eighty percent, and the audience will buy it."
"That's right, domestic special effects are actually not bad, but there has always been a lack of an example, an example of success by special effects, as long as there is a success of a special effects blockbuster, it can trigger the trend of special effects films."
"It is said that the movie "Staring Man" spent a lot of money on special effects, and domestic special effects companies made a lot of money on this order."
"It seems that the special effects are not bad, I hope to surprise the audience, I don't have high requirements, I can have Hollywood seven achievements."
"Half of it is barely acceptable."
"When "Starer" is released, I will know that it will not work."
Insiders are looking forward to Xu Nan's new movie.
Hollywood blockbusters are indeed fierce, but this is not a reason for domestic films to admit defeat.
As long as the level of "Staring Man" can reach the level of 70% of Hollywood production, then the domestic special effects blockbuster will be on the right track.
From this point of view, Xu Nan is no longer representing him alone, but domestic films.
He embodies the hope of the rise of domestic special effects.
Xu Nan's bold words certainly stimulated the enthusiasm of the audience and the morale of the insiders, but at the same time, it also annoyed a special group.
This special group, to put it mildly, is called foreign movie lovers, and to put it mildly, it is the shepherd dogs.
There is a trend in China that people like to watch foreign film and television dramas, despise those who like domestic film and television dramas, and think that foreign film and television dramas are more advanced than domestic film and television dramas.
Some people just have a sense of superiority.
But the more extreme one is that foreign films are naturally noble, while domestic films are naturally backward and will never be as good as foreign films.
In the end, it even developed to the point that they watch foreign film and television dramas, so they think that they are nobler than those who like to watch domestic film and television dramas in China.
Bean sprouts in a group.
"Have you read the recent news on the Internet, the somewhat famous director Xu Nan said that he would use "Staring Man" to blow up "Eternal" head-on."
"Look, this guy is crazy."
"That is, we still don't know what tonality of domestic movies is, to put it bluntly, it is a piece of garbage, which has no value at all."
"No, it's still valuable, it's precisely because of the garbage of domestic movies that it can bring out the excellence of Hollywood movies."
"Only Hollywood movies are eligible to be films, and domestic films are just a bunch of things called movies that are actually defenses."
"I'm laughing to death, I dare to release it on the same day as a Hollywood blockbuster, this Xu Nan is really looking for death."
"You don't have to think about it, this movie is undoubted, and there is no movie that can surpass a Hollywood blockbuster."
"Domestic movies shouldn't exist, everyone should go to Hollywood blockbusters, because Hollywood blockbusters are more noble."
"It's a pity that there are too many stupid people in China, who have been brainwashed, and some people actually say that they want to support domestic movies and go to watch "Staring Man"."
"It doesn't matter, Hollywood movies are better, and when the movie is released, they will know which movie to watch."
"The quality of "Eternal" is a hundred times better than "Staring Man", and when the movie is released, these idiots will know how good Hollywood movies are and how rubbish domestic movies are."
"Domestic theaters should only show Hollywood movies, so that Chinese people can accept more advanced foreign culture and think independently, instead of being brainwashed by domestic film and television dramas."
"Sooner or later, don't worry."
Time passed quickly, because Xu Nan blatantly chose to release "Staring Man" and "Eternal" on the same day, which made many people interested in this special effects blockbuster.
The media is even more shameless to play the gimmick of domestic movies PK Hollywood blockbusters to attract more people to click on the news.
It is true that many people were attracted by this gimmick and became interested in "Starer".
Although there are many people who scold domestic movies for rubbish, in fact, they are more angry and indisputable, not really disliking domestic movies, but feeling that domestic movies are not competitive enough and not good enough.
It is rare to have a movie that dares to compete head-on with Hollywood blockbusters, and many viewers are interested.
And this movie is a rare special effects blockbuster in China.
I don't want the special effects in the movie to surpass Hollywood, as long as it reaches seven or eighty percent, or even half of the level, the audience is actually satisfied.
In this regard, the domestic audience is still very tolerant.
No way, I'm used to eating cabbage.
As the release date of the movie is getting closer, the publicity war of the two films has officially begun.
In this regard, the domestic movie "Staring Man" is better than the Hollywood blockbuster "Eternal".
The reason is very simple, the box office of Xu Nan's movie is in China, and the focus of publicity is also in China.
The box office of the movie "Eternals" is in the United States, and the domestic market is just a supplement for the producer, so I don't attach much importance to this movie, and the publicity is not very strong.
But with the reputation of previous Hollywood movies and some leading parties that bring their own dry food, the popularity of "Eternal" is not too low.
time, soon came to June 1st, on this day, both movies began to sell movie tickets online.
With the development of the Internet, everyone no longer has to go offline to buy tickets, they can also buy tickets online, and theaters can also rely on the feedback from pre-sales to determine the proportion of movies scheduled.
With the opening of the pre-sale channel, a large number of consumers began to buy tickets.
Three hours later, the advance box office of "Eternal" quickly exceeded 100 million.
And the advance box office of "Staring Man" took six hours to exceed 100 million, which is twice as long as "Eternal".
This situation made insiders shake their heads and sigh.
"Hollywood blockbusters are still fierce."
"The main reason is that the reputation laid in the past is too strong, so that the audience naturally trusts it."
"Xu Nan can't go out, he's the leading director in China."
"There's no hurry, the pre-sale doesn't mean anything, it still depends on the quality of the movie."
Some groups in the country are celebrating like the New Year.
"Hollywood movies are really invincible."
"Sure enough, in this world, after all, there are more independent thinkers who know which movie to watch."
"I said that domestic movies are not good, and there are still people who fight with me, now what do you have to say."
"Suddenly it feels like there's hope for the country again."
Some netizens were very angry when they saw these negative remarks.
"It's just the beginning, and it doesn't prove anything."
"That's right, pre-sales don't mean much."
"Hollywood blockbusters are indeed strong, but domestic films are not useless."
"The release date of the movie is a month, and it is too early to say yes."
"I believe that sooner or later, domestic films will rise, and the day of the collapse of Hollywood blockbusters will not be too far away."
For these hard-mouthed netizens, the shepherds ridiculed one after another.
"You don't have to wait for the movie to come out, you don't admit defeat, right?"
"As I said, domestic movies can't catch up with Hollywood movies in a hundred years,"
"Hollywood movies are just good-looking, but domestic movies are not good."
"The mouth is so hard, when the movie is released, I'll see if you have anything else to say."
The famous reporter Li Zhou even posted a screenshot of his successful online ticket purchase of "Eternals" and posted a Weibo.
"The reason why I chose to watch 'Eternals' is not because of anything else, but because Hollywood blockbusters are really good."
"Here I advise some audiences that it is okay to support domestic films, but the premise is that domestic films themselves are worthy of support, but it is clear that we have to admit the gap between domestic films and Hollywood, which will take a long time to catch up."
"And we, as consumers, can't give up good movies and choose bad movies because of some spurious reasons."
On the Internet, before the movie was released, there was already a lot of chaos, and some people started a scolding war because of the two movies.
At this time, the controversy on the Internet has nothing to do with the movie, but the dispute caused by different concepts, to see which movie is just a weapon used for argument.
However, this kind of controversy is impossible to achieve results, because it is a difference in concept, and it cannot be changed by relying on words.
However, this kind of controversy is actually good for the movie itself.
Many passers-by may not want to watch a movie, but seeing so many people discussing, maybe their brains will heat up and they will buy tickets.
But the most important thing is that there will always be no change.
Everything, it depends on the quality of the movie.
June 1st.
June 2nd.
June 3rd.
The movie "Staring Man" officially landed in major theaters.
At the same time, the Hollywood blockbuster "Eternals" also landed in major theaters.
A large number of viewers flocked to the cinema to watch two films.
And the dispute between domestic films and Hollywood films is also about to be cleared.
