Chapter 553 Korean movies may not survive
Entering March, the entire film market seems to have entered the off-season.
The total box office of the movie in February won 5.38 billion.
But everyone is used to it, after all, March and April are off-season, and the box office has always been not good.
In these two months, everyone is busy making money, and there are no more popular festivals, so there are fewer natural movie theaters.
"The Wandering Earth 3" has become the king of the entire month of February, and the box office champions of every week belong to "The Wandering Earth 3".
However, there are two movies, but the performance is quite eye-catching.
One is "Bear Infested. Stay with me 'Bear Heart'", the box office exceeded 1.5 billion, and one is "Deep Sea", the box office exceeded 1 billion, and the box office of two animated films in the same schedule exceeded one billion, which has never appeared before.
Instead, "Avatar. The performance of the movie "The Way of Water" is far from market expectations, and others think that this movie will sweep the entire mainland market just like in North America, but so far in the mainland market, the box office of 1.4 billion has not yet been broken.
"The Wandering Earth 3" continues to harvest the box office, and it is expected that it will be painted in late April to make room for May Day, after all, even if it is still released at that time, there is not much box office.
By now, it can be played on demand on TV.
It is also from March that Hollywood movies begin to increase, and some other national films will also be mainly scheduled in these months.
As the Chinese film market has surpassed the North American film market to become the world's largest single film market for several consecutive years, no film company can ignore the Chinese film market.
Indian Bollywood, European films, Russian films, Japanese and Korean films, Iranian films, all want to come and get a piece of the pie.
But now, the decline of Korean films has been revealed, and even some media are already exclaiming that Korean films have encountered the dilemma of dying.
So far, in the whole of 2022, only one of the top 10 Korean films at the box office is a local film, and the majority is occupied by Hollywood films, Japanese films, and Chinese-language films.
This situation, entering 2023, has passed for two full months now, but it has not been improved in any way.
This was unimaginable in the past.
And in the past, three to five of the top 10 Korean movies at the box office were usually Korean films!
To make matters worse, losses abound in South Korea's homegrown films, with only a few films making a profit and all the others losing money in a year.
And due to the uncertain profit prospects, the investment has been greatly reduced, and specifically at the shooting level, that is, until now, South Korea has not started a single film.
According to the latest situation, in the first half of 2023, only about seven or eight Korean films will start shooting, and it is expected that the number of Korean films will not exceed 20 throughout the year.
And you must know that in previous normal years, the number of Korean local films was more than 200.
Due to the significant reduction in production, even the salary of actors has also decreased significantly, and this decline has even reached 30%~50%.
It can be said that there are external and internal reasons for the current predicament of Korean films.
The external reason is that blockbusters continue to enter the Korean film market, constantly impacting the Korean film market, and at the same time allowing Korean films to go out. The internal reason is that the internal market is narrow and cannot support the production of local films, after all, there are cultural restrictions on movies, first of all, the local market must be able to at least protect the capital, and there is no doubt that blockbusters can't hold up, which is equivalent to being cut off a leg, and then there is the movie theater, which has lost control and can no longer be forced to fix the schedule, but also because many film productions are no longer for the purpose of being released in the cinema, but are sold to Netflix and become Netflix's wage earners.
In this case, this situation has also emerged in the Korean film market.
It can only be said that there will inevitably be some price to be paid for the addition of a developed country on the head.
In the fierce competition between movie theaters and streaming, Korean movies were the first to die, which is probably something that no one expected.
It's not that some people want to make trouble this year, but it's not Wanda Cinemas that control the cinema, but AMC Cinemas, although it's essentially the same, but it's different, and the president of AMC Cinemas easily settled the matter.
Speaking of which, Korean movies have reached this point, and they can only be said to be self-inflicted.
Thinking about how popular Korean entertainment was in China, from aunts to students, there were many fans, and Hallyu had become a trend and fashion. And girls, for those Oba, are even more crazy.
It's just that he died by himself, eating this bowl of rice and smashing the bowl, and as a result, he lost a rapidly growing market.
Well, now it's impossible to start over.
In the past, you ignored me, and today I make you unattainable, which is such a true presentation.
Now it's the film market, maybe in the near future, it's the TV drama market, and then it's the music scene
In the end, the Korean entertainment industry is like that.
If you can't really experience the tragic situation of Korean movies, then open some websites, and you will find that the number of Korean action movies is catching up with Japanese action movies at a rapid speed.
Entering March, Li Hao also has something to be busy, that is, to participate in the two sessions.
In March, it is very special in China, that is the time of the two sessions, which is also in the spotlight.
As an important part of the cultural industry, the film and television industry has many celebrity fans, and naturally a group of representatives have been born.
Li Hao is not only a representative of directors, but also a representative of entrepreneurs in film and television companies, and a representative of entrepreneurs across the country.
Jingtian is no exception, after all, it can be regarded as full of honor, and the wind review is also relatively good.
NOT TO MENTION TONG LIYA, THERE IS ALSO A XIBE BUFF ON HER BODY, WHICH HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 2013.
In Haotian Media, there are also several participants.
Although it is possible to take a leave of absence, those who are able to attend the meeting are able to attend as much as possible.
There are more than 120 representatives in the cultural and artistic circles this time, and it is conceivable that this circle is a large producer.
There is also a very special situation this year, that is, the representatives of the entertainment industry from the two sides of the strait and the three places are coming very together.
In the past three years, it can be said that whether it is Xiangjiang Film and Television or Baodao Film and Television, all of them have entered Li Hao's control.
In terms of TV, it is directly TVB, and movies directly control the movie theater and directly choke the neck.
The only thing that is still a little lacking is the music.
This also leads to the fact that many people no longer dare to be two-faced people, one side on one side, and the other side on the other.
At the end of the day, it's all about eating.
TVB's TV station on Treasure Island has gathered a group of professors and constantly started programs, and even professors took students on trips during the summer vacation, and then produced programs to improve the effect of programs.
It's just that TVB has also been under a lot of pressure, but these pressures have been withheld.
