my movie years

At the end of 2021, there is no doubt that "Country Teacher" has temporarily become the global annual box office champion with a box office of US$17.03 billion.

The reason why I say it is temporary is because at the end of December, "Spider-Man: No Home" was officially released.

This movie was kept secret before its release. The audience had no idea that the three generations of Spider-Man were in the same frame.

Although in terms of movie quality, this movie is actually quite average.But the surprise created caused a high enough response in the North American market, and the effect was quite good.

With surprises, there are rewards.

Therefore, in its first week in North America, "Spider-Man: No Home" took in a box office of US$3.23 million, second only to the US$4 million of "Avengers 3.57: Age of Ultron" and slightly higher than the US$3.14 million. "Country Teacher" in US dollars.

"Spider-Man: No Home" can be said to have saved Hollywood's face. It seems that this year's North American box office championship basically belongs to this movie.

However, "Country Teacher" is a global hit, and "Spider-Man: No Home" regrettably failed to be released in the Chinese market.

The root cause of all this is North America's own reasons for competition and competition.

As a result, most Hollywood movies lost their qualification to be released in the Chinese market, causing Sony and Columbia to complain about Disney's policies, causing it to lose the Chinese market.

In order to appease its allies, Disney had to promise to give up some of its interests, and only then did it appease Sony Columbia Pictures.

But it still hurts, because Sony Columbia's other "Godzilla" and "King Kong" series, and the MonsterVerse movies cannot be released in the Chinese market.

The appeal of monster movies is not as good as that of Marvel movies. Now that they have lost the Chinese market, what's the point?
Ever since, Sony came up with an idea to bring Warner and Universal Pictures over to invest together.With these two film companies doing the endorsement together, I think they can be a little more relaxed.

This decision by Sony Columbia Pictures is really good. As soon as it announced its cooperation with Warner Universal Pictures, many of its latest films were announced to be introduced to the Chinese market.

Here is the strategy of differentiation and disintegration. Zhang Hao has analyzed it before and above: Unlike our collective consciousness and consideration of the overall situation, North America, which is based on interests, is the least reliable.

Hollywood can unite when there's a stake in it.

Once the interest chain risks collapsing, the film companies united by interests are in danger of splitting.

In fact, it’s not just Hollywood, but the entire society.

What unites the people of this land has never been freedom and dreams, but naked interests, the dividends brought by the expansion of patriarchalism.

Once this dividend subsides, the previous rhetoric will no longer work, and the barbaric law of the jungle will dominate and come to the forefront.

Therefore, this strategy of differentiation and disintegration has become a tried and tested trick.

Warner and Universal also know what the people on the other side of the Pacific are planning, and they are not pretending to do it. They are just playing this conspiracy openly.

But they can't refuse, and they can't refuse the temptation of a huge market.

This is not just the box office market. You must know that the income of a movie is never limited to the box office, and there are many other aspects.

Compared with North America, which has been developed, the Chinese market is simply a blue ocean waiting to be developed.

In fact, up until now, Disney has not said anything about it, but in fact it has already regretted it.Disney has negotiated with the Squid Consortium behind it several times, but the Squid Consortium does not want to worsen the relationship so much.

In addition to continuing to let pets set the pace on the Chinese Internet, it will not interfere with any policies.

As time went on, Disney couldn't stand it anymore.

If you don’t care about the Chinese market, you can play it once or twice, provided that no one cares about it.You don't care about the teaching market, but you are messing around, and as a result, your neighbor gets rich by relying on other people's market. How can you not be jealous?

There is a saying that you are afraid of your friends going to the streets to beg, and you are also afraid of your friends driving BMWs.

Although it is not appropriate, it is very consistent with Disney's inner fluctuations at this time.

I just asked him to take the initiative to look down, but he refused because he was afraid of losing face.There is nothing you can do about this, you just have to suffer the consequences for the sake of saving face!
No matter what Disney thinks, with the efforts of the entire crew, the film "Earth Shakes" was successfully completed and entered the post-production stage.

In order to make the film's release date more meaningful, Zhang Hao did not set the film on the traditional May Day schedule, but placed the film on May 2022, 5.

This year is also 14 years since the original incident.

In fact, it would be more commemorative if it were placed on the [-]th or [-]th anniversary, but the [-]th anniversary didn't make it, and the [-]th anniversary was too long.

Everyone needs an explanation, an explanation for the past, it is better to choose the day than to hit it.

Therefore, in the first 30-second trailer, Zhang Hao personally wrote: 14 years, unforgettable.

These six words have also become the slogan of this movie and are mentioned repeatedly during promotions.

As post-production progress accelerates, more behind-the-scenes content will be released.Including team interview videos, special effects production, interviews with actors, etc.

What amazes movie fans the most is that Zhang Hao actually built a small city and then destroyed it.The effects presented in the production specials and trailers are quite attractive.

But such big scenes are only part of the movie after all.Whether a movie is good or not depends on the story.

Movie fans still trust Zhang Hao's storytelling ability. Almost all viewers believe that Zhang Hao can tell a touching story.

However, the movie is far away in May, and the audience first has to go through the baptism of the Spring Festival release.

Different from last year's Spring Festival, which was highly anticipated, this year's Spring Festival seems to have insufficient cards, mainly including "This Killer Is Not So Calm", "Miracle Stupid Kid", and "Sniper" jointly directed by the national teacher and his daughter. "Movie.

In addition, there is "Four Seas" directed by Han Han and starring brother Haoran and Uncle Teng.and an annual animated film, Bears: Return to Earth.

It was previously predicted that the box office champion would be born between "Four Seas" and "This Killer Isn't Too Cold", but I didn't expect that "Four Seas" did not perform as expected.

As a director, Han Han is much better than Guo Xiaosi, who was criticized by Zhang Hao, but he is also limited. This movie is a typical Han humor, but the audience did not buy it, and in the end it only took in 5.6 million box office.

If the amount of investment previously advertised is true, then this film is probably a loss.

But don't worry, the one who is more stretched than Han Han is actually the national master.After the era of costume blockbusters has passed, the National Master seems to have used up all his aura, and this "Sniper" cannot be called a wonderful movie.

The National Preceptor may be holding back his big move, but unlike Lao Chen, who is gradually semi-retiring, the National Preceptor is still quite active.

It is said that directors after the age of 70 will once again usher in a creative peak period. Spielberg and Clint Eastwood are both. I don’t know if Guoshi will usher in a creative peak period again. .

The movie "Miracle: Stupid Kid" was directed by Wen Muye. As one of the contracted directors of Tianmi Film and Television Production Company, the company gave him enough trust.

The script and the selection of actors were all decided by Wen Muye himself.

In the end, Wen Muye chose the four-character brother, one of the three little ones, to star.When he saw the selection of actors, Zhang Hao actually frowned and wanted to object.

But after thinking about it later, he promised Wen Muye not to interfere with his choice, and Zhang Hao finally decided on the four-character brother as the starring role.

When the four-character brother learned that he was starring in a new work by a literary director, although it was not directed by Zhang Hao himself, it was produced by a company, and he was instantly excited.

Now, the other two little ones are jealous of the four-character brother.

The three-character younger brother is a little better. After all, he has collaborated with Zhang Hao in "The Fault in Our Stars" and was also the second male lead.The two-character brother means that his mouth is watering.

The movie "Miracle: Stupid Kid" was okay in the fiercely competitive Spring Festival period. It made a box office of 13.79 billion before it was released, and made a profit through the box office.

However, during the film's announcement period, Zhang Hao was frustrated by the excessive hype from his four-character brother and his management team.

For example, the four-character brother's mouth was full of grievances at the road show. This news has nothing to do with the movie, but it actually occupied the top three trending searches for a full week.

Another example is how handsome and beautiful the four-character brother is in his outfit, how much his fans love him, etc., etc., all of which are frequently searched.

In addition, fans of the four-character brother began to make up some groundless rumors.

The four-character brother is favored by Zhang Hao and will star in Zhang Hao's next movie.What about the four-character brother going to Zhang Hao's house for dinner, etc.

Zhang Hao didn't even remember that he had such a deep contact with his four-character brother. This was too bragging and there was no bottom line.

But as a great director, standing up and arguing with juniors makes Zhang Hao look like he is a petty person.So it was only through others who warned Brother Four's manager that Brother Four restrained himself.

However, after this incident, the four-character brother was blacklisted by Zhang Hao.

The next time one of our directors wants to use the four-character younger brother, it's impossible. Tianpower Film and Television Production Company's projects are closed to the four-character younger brother.

As for a comprehensive ban, Da Mimi said it is not necessary. The behavior of a small-minded chicken intestines and a vengeful person is unacceptable.

Anyway, the traffic circle is indeed not the same as Zhang Hao's, and the two sides rarely interact.The four-character brother just lost the opportunity to enter the Zhang family circle, but there are still other opportunities.

Compared with the four-character brother, the three-character brother is much happier.

He not only starred in "The Fault in Our Stars" but also in "The Long Journey Home", partnering with Zhang Yi.

This film is produced by Guo Fan and directed by Rao Xiaozhi. It is also invested and produced by Tianmi Film and Television Production Company and is scheduled to be released on National Day.

After starring in two films produced by Tianmi Film and Television Production Company, the three-character brother felt that the resources of the Zhang family were open to him.

As long as he continues to work hard and maintain it, he will get a better opportunity one day.

For this reason, the three-character younger brother decided to push forward many invitations for commercial performances, as well as film and television drama invitations, and concentrated on learning to polish his acting skills and practicing singing.

As for whether it is useful, only God knows. (End of chapter)
