Chapter 278 Impact in East Asia
The box office of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" finally came to an end, but Wang Zhengfei did not have time to have a good rest, but then threw himself into the intense preparation of "Snow Leopard". It was not only the preparation of "Snow Leopard", but also "Ye Wen" also needed his heart. After all, he also had the title of a chief screenwriter. I don't care about this. It really doesn't make sense.
Now Wang Zhengfei, the first gold medal screenwriter in the entertainment industry, is going to produce a new film. As soon as the news came out, the entertainment industry was shocked.
Do you still need to say about Wang Zhengfei's strength?
His five scripts have grossed more than 80 million yuan at the box office. The first director's work has achieved a high box office of 80 million yuan, while the second one is even more powerful, directly achieving 1.55 billion yuan at the box office in Asia. This number that makes everyone crazy, even in the mainland alone, has reached a terrible 3,700 million box office. The number.
A few years ago, the box office of 300 million yuan of a sunken third-class film made all filmmakers helpless. Now there is a more crazy box office of 397 million yuan. Although this is a great honor, breaking the box office record of Titanic, it is also a heavy pressure on everyone's head. If the box office of 375 million can be broken, then the box office of 1.55 billion in Asia is definitely not a record that can be broken by normal people. If someone can break it, it is also a Hollywood blockbuster, and it will never be them.
And I heard that Wang Zhengfei's "Qin Shi Ming Yue-Shang" is about to be released in the United States. Where is the United States? It is definitely the world's largest box office market. It is easy to increase the box office of hundreds of millions of yuan.
At that time, it is very likely that the box office of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" will directly break 2 billion yuan. Thinking about this 2 billion box office, all the filmmakers will have a scalp numbness.
Even Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Li An and other front-line directors in the Chinese film industry were absolutely shocked when they saw this record.
Unless it is Wang Zhengfei himself who breaks this record, it is also very possible, because the box office of the first half of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" is already so horrible. By the second half of the film, the box office will never be much worse, and it is far stronger than ordinary movies. If there is a movie that can break Qin Shiming If the box office record of "Moon-Shang", then there will be only this movie under "Qin Shi Ming Yue-" in the foreseeable future.
However, unlike ordinary people, in addition to seeing this horrible record, they also see the way out of the Chinese film industry. Now the pressure in the Chinese film industry is increasing. There are more and more people in this market, but the growth of the box office is relatively limited, at least it can't be the same as the growth rate of movies. In contrast, more than half of Chinese movies are actually in a state of loss every year. Such a huge loss is a headache for every film company.
From Wang Zhengfei's "Qin Shi Mingyue", we not only see the hope of the rise of Chinese blockbusters, but also China's blockbusters will never be inferior. More importantly, we see the dumping direction of those losing money.
Among Asian films, Chinese films and Indian films are the most famous. Not to mention that Indian films have developed well over the years, they have always been very popular. Speaking of Chinese films, in the past, when Hong Kong films were the most active, they almost dominated the whole East Asian film industry. In all of East Asia, how many people watched Hong Kong movies have grown up. Although Hong Kong movies have declined, their influence must not be underestimated.
And at that time, Hong Kong films in their heyday could be made almost in a few weeks. The number of Hong Kong films produced at such a terrible speed is definitely an exaggerated number. Of course, it is not the place where there are only a few million people in Hong Kong. It can be digested cleanly. In addition to South Korea, the most important thing is dumping into Southeast Asia, and the local film industry in Southeast Asia, which is not strong in the first place, is also scattered under the torrent of Hong Kong films.
There has been no progress so far. Although Hong Kong films are weak now, this area has always been one of the reserves of Chinese films.
These places can not only enlarge the film, but also some films that can't be sold at a loss in China can be dumped there. By the way, their originally weak local film industry is crushed into pieces.
Thinking of this, everyone is not depressed. Although it is a huge pressure to see the terrible box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue", the box office has come out. What else do they have to say? Basically, they can only accept it. Now it is more important to follow "Qin Shi Mingyue" in Asia. Follow quietly during the whirlwind.
There are not many other things, but the bad films they have in their hands are not much. Basically, the famous films in China are basically sold cheaply to Southeast Asia. At that time, domestic companies did not find out the truth, but this time, following the "Qin Shi Mingyue" and swept a large box office, I have also figured out some of the reality of the local films in Southeast Asia, which are basically bad or bad, and most of them are not as good as the bad movies they have.
At that time, there was no way to sell bad movies, but at this time, I didn't care so much. When there was a Chinese movie boom in Southeast Asia, they sold them together. Although the price was not high, it was far from comparable to those domestic films, but the number was so large that there were hundreds of them. The movie rushed in one breath, and immediately the whole Southeast Asian market was full.
Many companies found that they not only earned back the loss-making investment, but also had a large surplus. They were immediately very excited. Thank God and earth, as if they had found a new continent.
In the past, the excellent film dumping market in Southeast Asia was ignored. After all, at that time, I felt that Southeast Asia's economy was indeed not very developed, and the film market was also small, but on the one hand, there were many countries there, and on the other hand, no matter how small it was, it was definitely not a small number for those film companies. All the box office market The total is almost comparable to the box office market in more than half of the Chinese-speaking areas. They are excited enough to think about such a large piece of cake, and they will definitely strengthen dumping in this regard in the future.
With the popularity of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" in all Asia, the whole Asian region has set off a gust of Chinese style, just like Wang Zhengfei's previous album of complete Chinese style. This time, "Qin Shi Ming Yue" is also a complete Chinese style, narrating the story of ancient China, the characters are completely Chinese painting, and the background of China. Pure Chinese style can be seen everywhere. Such a pure Chinese style is absolutely rare. Many foreigners' impression of China in ancient China is still the Qing Dynasty. They wear a long braid, and the woman is also wearing a cheongsam. They think this is China, but they don't know that it is just a part of the dross in Chinese history. Well, I didn't really understand the essence of real Chinese culture.
For many young people in East Asia, this kind of Chinese culture is still very fresh. They know very little about China at all. Even if they know something about it, it is a braid or cheongsam.
This time through the movie, they learned that Chinese people also had such a splendid culture when they didn't wear braids. The story took place 2,000 years ago. At that time, their ancestors were basically savages, let alone any culture.
With the popularity of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" in all of East Asia, there was a wave of learning Chinese. All kinds of cool characters in the movie and various historical events throughout them made them intoxicated.
They didn't expect that China could produce such a blockbuster now, which was almost as good as Hollywood blockbusters in the United States. It was also a great shock for them. With the popularity of the box office, many filmmakers from East Asian countries have exclaimed the rise of Chinese movies. Oh, no, it should be said that they have risen again.
Isn't Hong Kong movies that used to be a glorious time also part of Chinese movies? Now Chinese movies are coming aggressively, making them wary.
If it goes on like this, local movies are likely to be scattered. Although before that, they didn't have a decent supporting pillar-type film industry. At first, they were almost dominated by Hong Kong movies for most of the market. It was hard to wait until Hong Kong movies to decline, and then they were good. The dock blockbusters have occupied the market left over from Hong Kong films. Now Hollywood movies in the United States have not been able to compete with each other. Chinese films are fierce and have made a comeback. Their original film industry has basically no development, but they have changed from one rule to another. Basically There is no difference. For their local industry, it is very miserable.
But for those countries that are deeply influenced by the United States, it is impossible to completely restrict the entry of American movies. They are not China. There is no room for bargaining in this regard. The only thing they can rely on is the people's consciousness. However, it is obvious that only Koreans do a good job in this regard, because of the nation The industry has joined forces to boycott foreign products, and now it seems that only Koreans can do it sometimes.
However, even if they have the intention, they are almost powerless in this regard. They can only watch "Qin Shi Mingyue" run rampant in their country and sweep the box office crazily, but they can't stop it.
Originally, these places are the old territory of Hong Kong movies. Chinese movies are already very popular. Although those Hollywood blockbusters are strong, they have only been there for a total of many years. They have nostalgia for Chinese movies. At this time, the strong insertion of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" just hit this weakness, and "Qin Shi Ming Yue" book The quality of the body is excellent, and it is easy to take away a large number of box office.
