Something big is wrong.

Something big has happened in the mainland's Internet industry.

Half an hour after Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan's official announcement blog post was released.

Sina Blog collapsed!

This is the first time that Huaxia Internet has caused the website to collapse directly because of the official announcement of a celebrity relationship!

Even the staff of Sina Blog, who had expected a lot of people to read this blog post, added several sets of servers in advance.

But I didn't expect that when the news of the official announcement of the two fermented on the Internet, it would attract so many netizens who ate melons!

Sina's staff still underestimated the enthusiasm of Chinese netizens to join in the fun.

In just half an hour, Sina's server couldn't withstand this wave of wealth and went down.

The page cannot be opened, and the account cannot be logged in.

It's not a big problem, though.

The official announcement of the blog post has been screenshotted by melon-eating netizens for the first time, and it has been uploaded all over major forums and post bars.

Although Sina has taken the biggest bite of this wave of traffic, other Internet platforms have also gained a lot of margins in the follow-up.

On June 18, 2008, everyone will remember this day, and it will even be recorded in the big Internet events.

The news that Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei's love affair was made public became the hottest news on the Chinese Internet.

Open Baidu, the first search index is this thing.

Open the post bar, and the first post to search for is still a related news post.

Open forums such as Hupu, Tianya, and Douban, and the posts that are hotly discussed in the forefront are still the public relationship between the two.

Even if it's QQ, in the major group chats, netizens are also talking about it.

The influence of the two in domestic entertainment can be seen.

However, Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan, who are on the other side of the ocean, did not pay attention to the mainland Internet after posting the official announcement blog post, interacting with fans a little more, and replying to some blessing comments.

There is a time difference between the two sides, and after posting the blog post, the two of them will rest separately.

The next day, Liu Yifei continued to run the promotion of "Good Time", and a North American music TV show invited her to play songs.

Wu Yuan can't be idle, although "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has been released in North America for two weeks, and the box office potential has basically been eaten up, but in the global market, the large-scale release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is still continuing.

On the Huaxia side, when Liu Yifei released the song "Good Time", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was also released in the mainland.

It's a pity that although the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is a global hit Hollywood blockbuster series, its box office performance in China has always been unsatisfactory.

Even if the director of this movie is Wu Yuan from Huaxia, even if this movie has Chinese actors participating, and Cheng Long, the Chinese actor with the strongest box office appeal at present.

Even if "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" won the premiere box office of 48 million on the day it was released in the mainland, breaking the box office record for the first day of mainland films.

But by the next day, the box office results of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" were immediately cut in half, and the daily box office was only 25 million.

This is, after all, a movie about pirates of the Caribbean.

This kind of movie with a foreign cultural atmosphere is not as direct as the pure special effects bombardment of "Transformers".

Of the 48 million box office on the first day, two-thirds of them were for Wu Yuan, Cheng Long, and Liu Yifei, who were their fans.

These fans don't care what story the movie tells at all, they just buy tickets to the cinema just to support the three of them.

There are only about a third of the fans who really want to watch this exotic movie about Pirates of the Caribbean.

On the third day of release, the daily box office dropped to 20 million, which declined very rapidly.

Facts have once again proved that it is difficult for movies with foreign cultural atmosphere to achieve explosive box office results in China.

It's like the "Star Wars" series was a box office hit in the United States, but it has never achieved good results in China.

Disney's various live-action princess films are also unaccustomed to the soil in China, and the box office is cold.

Only superhero movies like "Transformers", "Fast and Furious" and various superhero movies can be caught by pure special effects bombardment, so that they can sweep the box office without distinction around the world!

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" even if it joins the Chinese pirates and Chinese faces, it is still a movie with a completely different cultural concept from Chinese culture.

The culture of European pirates in the 17th century in the movie is not understood by the Chinese people at all, has not been exposed to it, and is not interested.

One week after its release, with the strong box office appeal of Wu Yuan and Cheng Long, the mainland box office of this film can exceed 100 million yuan.

It is estimated that the final mainland box office will only be about 150 million, not even a fraction of the global box office.

Not only the mainland, but also Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island, which were released almost simultaneously with North America, the total box office of the two places combined is only more than 40 million yuan, which is also not a good result.

Even Hong Kong Island, which is more seriously Westernized and has accepted a lot of Western thinking, "Pirates of the Caribbean", a film full of Western background and cultural atmosphere, is not adaptable.

For Chinese audiences, they still need super blockbusters of Huaxia's own values to impress them and make them donate generously.

For example, "The Wandering Earth", which is known as the first year of Chinese science fiction movies.

For example, various mainland comedy movies full of Chinese jokes.

There is also a Chinese characteristic maternal love film "Hello, Li Huanying".

And, Wu Yuan's "Gravity", which was carefully customized for the mainland market, just in line with the promotion of the launch mission of the Shenzhou 7 spacecraft, and boosted the national pride!

Let's get back to the point.

Although the box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in the mainland is average, the global box office of this film is still a sharp mess.

$324 million at the North American box office and $768 million worldwide!

Nowadays, filmmakers around the world only care about one thing.

Is it possible that this movie will break $1 billion at the box office like "Pirates of the Caribbean 2"?

From the production company Disney to every main creator of the crew, they all have a breath of air and want to hit this record again.

Including Wu Yuan, he also wants to go into the billion-dollar box office club again.

So, led by Wu Yuan and Depp, the actors of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" crew were divided into two teams and frequently ran promotional activities in Europe.

Wu Yuan took Liu Yifei, Cheng Long, and Orlando, who participated in the TV show, and Tom Hollander, who played Lord Beckett, from the United Kingdom to France to Germany, and did roadshows and TV shows, doing their best to stimulate the European box office of the movie.

After running in Europe, they went non-stop to Asia, from Japan to South Korea to Singapore, and also ran movie theater roadshows and TV shows.

It is worth mentioning that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" performed very well at the box office in Japan when the box office was average throughout Asia.

Starting with Pirates of the Caribbean 1, Japan has been one of the largest overseas box offices for the series.

The first two films both grossed more than 10 billion yen in Japan, making them the top three grossing films of the year in Japan that year.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which is now released, is still performing well at the box office.

Japan has a pirate plot, and "One Piece", a popular Japanese manga that has swept the world, makes Japanese fans no stranger to "pirates" at all, and even curious.

The box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in Japan is estimated to break 10 billion yen, once again becoming the largest overseas box office for this series!

Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei are also old friends with Japanese fans.

When they and Cheng Long arrived in Japan, they received a very warm welcome, and they felt like they were back at home, so popular that several blocks were blocked by fans who rushed to hear the news when they were doing publicity.

When they appeared on Japanese TV shows, they were also surrounded by all kinds of pompous praise from the hosts, which simply stunned Orlando and Tom Hollander.

"Jackie, you and Crystal are really popular in Japan!"

"And Daniel, you actually have a lot of fanatical fans in Japan, and you can see young Japanese girls holding pictures and light signs along the way."

"Oh my God, this is crazy."

"I remember you haven't made a Japanese movie, right?"

After finishing the recording of the show and returning to the hotel to rest, the elf prince Orlando pulled Wu Yuan and the others in confusion, venting his shocked emotions.

"It's good to get used to it." Wu Yuan patted Orlando on the shoulder: "It's like you, the elven prince, are very famous in the UK." ”

"It's normal for Jackie and Crystal to be famous in Japan as Asian superstars."

"As for me, have you heard of the two movies "The Undertaker" and "Your Name"?"

Orlando scratched his head: "I know that "The Undertaker" won the Cannes Jury Prize, and "Your Name" I also know that it is a movie you made in China. ”

"Then do you know that "The Undertaker" is regarded by Japanese fans as one of the top ten classic movies of the 21st century?"

"'Your Name' has earned nearly 15 billion yen at the box office in Japan, and it is still the third highest-grossing film in Japan since box office statistics began."

"Wow." Orlando exclaimed, "Looks like I should go back to my room and find 'Your Name' and take a hard look at the movie." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry." Wu Yuan shrugged: "This is a very Asian movie, I don't think you will like it." ”

Just as China and Japan are not interested in many movies full of European and American cultural atmosphere, "Your Name", a campus movie with a very Asian little fresh style, is not something that European and American audiences can understand.

After all, in the high school life of Europeans and Americans, love is direct, just like "Juno".

"Thank you for the reminder." Orlando winked a little mischievously, "But I decided to watch the movie anyway." ”

"Crystal is the heroine, right, I'm sure I'll like it with her."

"All right~" Wu Yuan spread his hands: "As long as you don't sleep too late because of watching a movie, you will miss the morning flight tomorrow." ”

"We're going to Huaxia tomorrow."

"This is our real home turf!"

Liu Yifei and Cheng Long both laughed.

Tomorrow, their propaganda team will gather with Depp's team in the capital of China to start the last stop of global propaganda.

This is also what Wu Yuan won for, otherwise Disney originally didn't plan to let all the members of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" come to Huaxia to choose, but only planned to let Wu Yuan bring Liu Yifei and Cheng Long back to do publicity.

After all, the box office performance of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series in the Chinese market is really average.

"I've been looking forward to it, I've heard that the Chinese food is very delicious, and you'll have to treat me to a big dinner then," Orlando grinned.

Japanese sashimi and Japanese food can really only be tasted fresh, and he has long been a little tired of eating them.
