It is said that the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and in many cases this sentence has been proven wrong.

But it also depends on how fragrant the wine is.

As far as "Three-Body Problem 1" is concerned, there is no longer the problem of deep alleys.

In fact, several major distributors in Hollywood have negotiated with Wang Huan for a long time.

Even if the finished film has not yet come out, there are already filmmakers competing for the right to distribute as an agent. This is a treatment that other Chinese films can't get, and it's all big distributors, all Hollywood giants.

Not only Hollywood, but also the rest of the world, it's the giants who talk about it.

It's just that at the beginning, it was all about buyout contracts.

It is a sum of money that directly buys out all the rights of issuance in a certain market.

For example, in the North American market, the trilogy has reached a maximum of $120 million, and of course, it also includes the right to sell CDs.

Don't underestimate this number, it's already an unprecedentedly high price.

$120 million, which means that the three films have to grossing more than $200 million at the box office, and they have to sell a large number of discs to barely keep their capital.

This is already a super gamble for the Hollywood giants.

It is completely based on Wang Huan's super high popularity in North America and the huge influence of the three-body problem.

After all, two years ago, Wang Huan made a fuss in the United States, and now countless people still remember it vividly.

Not to mention that the Three-Body Problem series has created a sales miracle in the United States, I don't know how many people have read this book.

Of course, the most important thing is the gamble between Wang Huan and the President of the United States.

The impact is just amazing.

Everybody knows, everybody knows.

It is precisely because of this that the distribution giants in North America are willing to spend 120 million to buy the distribution rights and audio-visual rights of the three films.

But Wang Huan refused, and he directly asked for a share of the box office.

At that time, the other party said directly: "Mr. Wang Huan, if you talk about sharing, it will be very unfavorable to you." Our motivation may not be so high, and if it is a buyout, the company may still desperately promote it in order to recover the cost. ”

But Wang Huan still resolutely adopted the sharing system.

As for the publisher, Wang Huan finally chose Sony.

Not because he is Japanese, but because the distribution giant has a good relationship with the Chinese film industry, because it has entered the Chinese market most actively.

More than half a year ago, the first internal screening of the Three-Body Problem 1, people from Sony also came to watch.

After watching it, he shook his head directly, and said directly: Mr. Wang Huan, American audiences are accustomed to first-class special effects scenes, your film will lose in the North American market, and we will only open in 1,500 venues at most.

In fact, this opening number is already very good.

The heroes who set the best results were barely 1,000 at the beginning, and at that time there was the east wind of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

In the other world, those movies that have created miracles in China, such as "Nezha" and "Operation Red Sea", have only three or four hundred screening venues in North America, and most of them are Chinese.

Therefore, the arrogance of the North American market can be imagined!

And then came the second screening.

Three people from Sony's distributor also came.

After watching the finished film, they were completely stunned.

I can't believe that there are people in this world who can make movies that can surpass Hollywood in terms of special effects and graphics.

It's terrifying!

Then, they just said one word, hurry up and rip copies, the more the better, the more the better.

Next, the three-body 1 set an unprecedented record in the Chinese market.

At the opening weekend, that's $30 million.

The first-week box office is equivalent to $43 million.

The most terrifying thing is the box office curve of the following week, which has come out of an astonishing reverse decline.

The news also reached the North American market.

But the collective reaction of the American media, as well as the audience, is.

"China's internal self-congratulatory, a patriotic marketing. ”

"The Chinese are cheating, and the government is helping Wang Huan brush up the box office and want to defeat the Star Wars Prequel trilogy. ”

"We all know that the in-house screening more than half a year ago was a disaster. The person in charge of ILM also went to see the finished film, saying that the special effects and graphics were extremely bad. And in half a year, they were able to complete the production with poor results, which is already very remarkable, and it is impossible to make progress at all. But it's really sad that such a bad movie has broken an unprecedented box office record in the Chinese market, should I say that the Chinese are too patriotic, or that they haven't seen a good movie?"

"Later, I learned that there is a very magical behavior in their country, that is, chartering. Governments at all levels will go out of the market and organize people from all units and schools to go to watch the movie. ”

"Therefore, this is how the three-body problem 1 box office miracle in China was born. ”

"Moreover, Wang Huan is too naïve to try to stimulate the North American and global markets with the so-called box office miracle in China, Americans have been watching movies for more than a hundred years, and we have the best ability to discriminate, and we will not be deceived by such low-level tricks of yours. ”

"On July 25th, I will be the first to buy tickets to watch, and it is IMAX3D, waiting for my return review report. ”

"Love your critics, John Connor. ”

This is an article by a famous film critic, and of course almost all of the United States is similar to this voice.

The distributor, Sony, wanted to do PR at first, but then found that the sound was too loud, so he simply gave up and let the quality of the film speak for itself.

After a series of trade-offs and negotiations.

In the end, "Three-Body Problem 1" opened in 2,800 venues in North America.

This is already an unprecedented treatment, and it is definitely super luxurious for a foreign film.

Even when "Hero" won the weekly box office, it was only released in 2,000 venues.

The opening of 2,800 stores is already Sony's great skill and courage.

Here in North America, there is also a tradition of zero-point field.

However, there will be no large-scale screenings at midnight, and there will not be too many audiences, unless it is some super-popular Hollywood blockbuster.

Therefore, the zero-point premiere of Three-Body Problem 1 is just so-so.

Sony once persuaded Wang Huan to hold a vigorous premiere at the China Theater in Hollywood and invite a large number of stars.

The most important thing is that Wang Huan must be present, and even Sony is willing to pay this money.

But Wang Huan refused.

In Sony's eyes, Wang Huan is too stubborn.

Therefore, the movie does not have a star-studded premiere and looks a little deserted.

No matter how curious Americans are, they are reluctant to watch a Chinese movie in the middle of the night.

So, the attendance rate of this zero point field is really just so-so.

15% or so.

It's not bad, but it's definitely not good.

The people who can watch this movie at this time are either die-hard fans of the three-body problem, or want to see how bad it is, or professional film critics, such as that John Connor.

Another example is that many media reporters, they want to vote for the Rotten Tomatoes index.

Seriously, they do have a bit of a hard time.

And the heart is unhappy.

Because there is no English dubbing in this film, the copy was given too late and it was too late to dub.

Of course, there is a small part of the plot in English, but most of it is in Chinese.

So almost all the time, you have to watch the subtitles.

It's too unpleasant to concentrate on.

But......

Almost shortly after the movie began, they froze.

Because the 3D effect is so amazing, it surpasses all existing Hollywood movies.

And the colors of these pictures are great.

These live-action shots are so impactful.

When the first special effects scene, the one-and-a-half-minute-long Trisolar-Planet catastrophe, was played in one shot to the end, stretching for hundreds of miles.

The audience was shocked.

Next, another shock.

Qin Shi Huang's million-strong military flesh computer.

In the end, completely stunned.

The nine-dimensional proton unfolded and turned into a huge plane two-dimensional, and in the whole process, several civilizations inside the protons were destroyed, and counterattacked, bringing a huge impact to the three-dimensional civilization.

Eventually, circuits were printed on a two-dimensional plane and transformed into computers.

This magic-like picture really calmed everyone down, unprecedented movie magic.

The end of the movie!

The Great Migration of the Three-Body Civilization.

The huge trimaran fleet, mighty and mighty, obscuring the sky and the sun, flew in the direction of the earth.

At this point, the first movie of the Three-Body Problem is over.

The audience stood still.

There's no menu, it's all the cast and crew, and it's going to be a few minutes.

But almost all of them sat in place.

When all the subtitles were finished, the audience applauded.

The Chinese market is extremely enthusiastic about the film, and after the movie, few people applauded.

But in the North American market, it was applauded.

Of course, it's not that North American audiences are better, but because Chinese audiences love the film more.

I love it so much that I don't want to use the formulaic form of applause, but when I go home, I post like crazy and call crazy to recommend.

.................................

Film critic John Connor came home and wrote a blog post on his blog.

First, he uploaded a photo.

He prepared a large bucket filled with ice and water and poured it from his head.

"I was wrong, Mr. Wang Huan, and I formally apologize to you. ”

"The box office miracle in the Chinese market is real, and it is not a government charter. ”

"This movie is a miracle of this era, and I have nothing to say about the plot, because it was so shocking that I was constantly distracted and missed a lot of plots. ”

"But I just want to say that this film shows more special effects technology than Hollywood for 20 years. ”

"That's right, we're behind. ”

"Even, I'd like to call it cinematic magic. ”

................................................

There are almost countless film reviews like John Connor.

And the most intriguing thing is a film review by a scientist.

"I'm a Ph.D. and a physical scientist at the University of Southern California. ”

"I watched this movie with a high spirit, and I wanted to see how many mistakes there were in it. ”

Then I was preached. ”

"There was a guy in the movie who taught me about space and latitude. After reading it, I only felt that I suddenly realized, and my inspiration exploded, and I was shocked. ”

"The latitude inside of it spreads, I don't know if it's right. But at least a few decades ahead of our existing research. ”

"Our school is in a meeting and plans to use this special effects as part of the research textbook. ”

"Of course, this requires Mr. Wang Huan's consent, and we are applying. ”

Of course, this is not Wang Huan's credit, and even the original version of the movie in 2035 is full of mistakes about the unfolding of nine-dimensional protons.

But after the modification of Civilization Star, it is difficult to say whether it is completely correct.

However, in the study of latitude space, it is at least dozens or hundreds of years ahead of the world.

Therefore, the special effects of this picture instantly conquered many physicists.

......................................................

Of course, media opinion in North America is not as frantic as in China.

But...... It's hot enough.

The first to come out is the Rotten Tomatoes index.

Rotten Tomatoes freshness, amazing 95%.

This was followed by the IMDB score, which was 9.0 points.

In an instant, the entire film market was in an uproar.

This...... That's an exaggeration.

On the Rotten Tomatoes index, 95% can already rank very high, and most of them are scored by film critics, who will measure a movie more comprehensively, even if it is the picture and special effects, it can also bring a good freshness index.

And the IMDB score is very, very strict.

"Titanic", which swept the global market, has a score of 7.7 on IMDB.

It's just 7.7 points.

In another world, "Avatar", which has set countless box office records, only has a score of 7.8.

IMDB's scoring is more focused on the plot, as well as the so-called profound themes and so on.

So Xiao Shengke's redemption, the godfather, vulgarity, etc., can all get super high scores.

Basically, being able to score more than 8 points on IMDB is a masterpiece to some extent.

And "Three-Body Problem 1" turned out to be 9.0 points, directly entering the top five of the IMDB overall list, to put it more directly, it is the fourth place in the overall list.

This is a historical list, a summary of almost all the movies.

This...... It's terrifying.

Of course, this score may drop in the future.

And to some extent, because he is a foreign language film, his previous expectations were too low, but after watching it, he brought unparalleled surprises.

Most crucially, it's not a popcorn blockbuster.

He's not like Transformers, and it's not even like Avatar.

It is a very deep movie.

And in a way, it's not even very friendly to the audience, and there are often large sections of show-offs.

But it is precisely in this way that conquers the most demanding fans in North America.

That's why at the beginning, there was an amazing IMDB rating of 9.0.

Soon the box office data for July 25 came out.

$8 million.

That's a good stat!

But in a way, this data is also average.

It's good because it's Wednesday, and this score has surpassed all the previous Chinese films.

The hero's first weekend grossed $18 million in three days.

But when the hero opened in the first week, there were only more than 1,000 venues, which was only half of "Three-Body Problem 1".

Experts from Sony Pictures predict that it is estimated that North American audiences feel that they have been snubbed by Wang Huan, so they have psychological rejection.

Because shortly before the upcoming release, Wang Huan announced that China will be released on July 18, and other markets around the world will be released on July 25 at the earliest.

So the North American audience is arrogant, and it's not uncommon for us to watch you like this.

So, the box office in North America on the first day is, of course, good.

But...... It's lower than Sony Pictures expected.

It shouldn't be that number.

This movie is so good, so cool, it should be very popular in the North American market.

Moreover, it has such a high level of popularity, and everyone knows it.

After the first-day box office data came out, major institutions in the United States immediately made predictions.

"Three-Body Problem 1" grossed $26 million in its opening weekend in North America and ended up grossing $80 million.

Are these agencies accurate in their predictions?

To be honest, it is very accurate, 90% of the actual box office data of the movie is basically in line with the prediction, and it can be regarded as eight or nine.

If it is a box office of $80 million in the end, it is still a super good result, surpassing the $50 million box office of Hero North America.

But...... For Wang Huan, even if it was a complete failure.

The distributor, Sony Pictures, will also be extremely disappointed.

Because according to their estimates, the box office of this film in North America should be about 150 million, which will exceed the 128 million of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Because it's so hot, and the quality of the film is too good.

And now this expressiveness, if you want to surpass Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it will be difficult.

As for comparing it with "Star Wars Prequel", not to mention.

However, Thursday's box office figures are out.

It has made countless people stunned.

North America grossed Thursday $11 million.

This...... That's kind of scary!

This kind of curve is a bit demonic.

Immediately after, the box office came out on Friday, $16 million.

Sony Pictures, cheers.

It worked, the film worked.

Immediately after, Saturday's box office data came out, $23 million.

The distributor, Sony Pictures, couldn't hold back anymore and directly held a celebration party internally.

And has begun to negotiate with major theaters to increase the film schedule.

The number of museums to open next week will soar directly to 4,000, which is completely the treatment of A-level big productions.

As for whether this will make the president of the United States lose?

I'm sorry, but maybe one day, the interests of American capital will once again unite to suppress it.

But not now.

Now, let's make the money first.

In the market of capital, no one is at odds with money.

And when the box office came out on Sunday, everyone was speechless.

Even the publishers themselves were completely shocked.

Sunday box office, $25 million.

Sunday turned out to be higher than Saturday, and the curve is here again.

This demonic curve is here again.

It's a reversal again.

On Monday, Sony Pictures officially announced the box office data of "Three-Body Problem 1".

The three-day box office in the opening weekend was $64 million.

The first-week box office was $83 million.

The entire North American market was in an uproar, and the real world was completely shocked.

And the most terrifying thing is not this box office data, but the box office curve it shows.

Unprecedented wickedness.

All the institutions dare not predict how much it will end up at the box office.
