China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 247: The impact of dimensionality reduction brought by "Avatar" landing in China (please subscribe!)
[Sometimes a sketch is just a sketch. When you reach the length of a movie, it is just a sketch at best, but it is still not a movie! 】

This passage was made by the well-known best-selling author Han Han on Weibo after the release of Lao Mouzi's "Three Guns".

Famous media person Hong Huang even said directly: Watching this movie is simply an insult to your IQ!
In fact, no one is deliberately targeting Zhang Yimou, because the reputation of his movie on the Internet is really bad.

Although the box office was very good, with 2700 million on the first day and more than million in one week, this was obtained by Lao Mouzi with his reputation as a national master.

Perhaps it was because the response was too bad. This time Lao Mouzi rarely spoke up, feeling aggrieved and angry: I can't be scolded.

Following food endorsements, the General Administration has once again made rectifications on medical endorsements, stipulating that from next year, medical products endorsed by celebrities will be banned!
The release date of "Interstellar" has been officially determined after Chen Dong communicated with Hollywood. The time is February 2010, 2, and will be released simultaneously around the world.

And this day is called the Spring Festival in China.

"Avatar" has been released in North America, and the box office is very good, breaking all the movie box office records that can be broken.

This movie will be released in China on January 1. When the domestic media reports on the movie, they will inevitably compare it with Chen Dong's "Interstellar".

Domestic filmmakers seem to have smelled the smoke of gunfire. Most domestic movies originally planned to be released in January or February 2010 have chosen to avoid them unless they are particularly stubborn.

The sound of firecrackers on New Year's Day echoes across the land of China, indicating that 2009 has become our recent history.

This New Year's Day is very special for Yang Mi, because the celebration banquet held by Dongcheng Pictures for her promotion to the front line is scheduled for this day.

The guests who came to the banquet were quite grand, including China Film, Shanghai Film, Huayi, Enlight, Wanda, Bona, Chengtian, Tianyu... basically all the domestic film and television companies or brokerage companies were absent, including Yang. Mi’s old club Rong Xinda.

Perhaps she was too excited. When Yang Mi shared her experiences on the stage, she 'accidentally' revealed the secret that she had a crush on her boss.

Therefore, although Chen Dong, who was sitting in the audience at this time, felt that Yang Mi's 'confession' was more like a relief from her own youth, he still glanced at his wife several times in a guilty conscience.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Seeing Yang Mi standing on the stage so dazzlingly radiant, who wouldn’t be envious of the female celebrities present if they weren’t top-notch?

Taking advantage of the popularity of today's banquet, Chen Dong also released the trailer of "Interstellar".

Because the trailer is very exciting and shocking, it has reversed some voices on the Internet that were negative about "Interstellar".

Three days later, "Avatar" landed in China.

Chen Dong did not break his promise and took his wife to see a 3D version of him that day.

Even though I have watched it many times in my previous life, I still think this movie is pretty good when I watch it again.

Liu Yifei, like most ordinary viewers, was shocked by the visual effects of this super blockbuster.

"Husband, I feel like our movie might not be able to beat this."

Because the media compares "Interstellar" and "Avatar", there are "Interstellar" parties and "Avatar" parties on the Internet.

Before today, Liu Yifei was an unwavering "Interstellar" party member.

But now, after watching "Avatar," the woman's faith is shaken.

"I already knew I couldn't do it. I just hope I don't lose too badly in China."

Although Han Shanping has clearly hinted to Chen Dong that "Interstellar" can apply for a one-month extension key.

But "Avatar" can also get it because of its huge box office potential.

So if you really want to fuck the other party, there is no trick, only head-on confrontation.

On this day, James Cameron also flew to China to promote the movie.

A large number of reporters received the news early and squatted at the airport entrance.

They caught Cameron and went up to conduct a friendly interview with him.

"Hello Director James Cameron, the current market feedback data for your movie "Avatar" in China is very positive, so what is your expectation for the box office of your movie in China?"

"Okay, thank you to this media friend for your question. To be honest, I have high expectations for China's film market, because before I came, my team's experts told me that "Avatar" should be able to fetch 8 million yuan here. It’s like 10 billion yuan.”

"At present, "Avatar" and "Interstellar" directed by my country's Chen Dong are the most discussed on Chinese media websites. I would like to ask Director Cameron, are you worried that "Interstellar" will pose a threat to "Avatar"?"

"Sorry, I haven't watched the complete "Interstellar" and I can't answer your question. But I know that director Chen Dong in your country is a very powerful director, and he is very young, which means there are unlimited possibilities in the future. "

"How long will Director Cameron stay in China?" "Unfortunately, it's only 20 hours. You know, I still have many countries to go to."

When Cameron's interview at the airport was uploaded to the Internet, Liu Yifei also uploaded the tickets for going to the 3D theater with Chen Dong to watch "Avatar" and a photo of the two of them on her Weibo.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu If I had known that the goddess would also go to the movie, I would have met her by chance."

"Sissi, Director Cameron praised your husband at the airport."

"Tell us the details upstairs."

"The general idea is that Director Chen is very young and has unlimited possibilities in the future."

"Here's the link, go check it out yourself."

"A good man has a safe life."

Liu Yifei, who was peeking at the screen, couldn't help but click on the link out of curiosity.

After reading it, she thought for two seconds and forwarded it directly to Chen Dong.

After much anticipation, the first-day box office data of "Avatar" has finally been released.

Just exceeded 3000 million.

Very high.

But, that seems to be it.

With such first-day results, it did not even break the first-day data set by "Inception" three years ago.

How did Cameron have the nerve to announce box office expectations of 8 million or even 10 billion?

There is no denying the visual shock brought by "Avatar", but this data does make many people doubt it.

Of course, this voice of doubt did not last long, and was broken by the other party's daily box office data that violated the previous box office rules.

The next day, 3500 million was obtained.

On the third day, 3800 million was obtained.

……

On the sixth day, it exceeded 5000 million.

On the seventh day, it exceeded 5600 million.

The box office in the first week was 2.83 million.

According to past box office rules, a week after a movie is released, its box office potential will shrink significantly.

But "Avatar" breaks this rule again.

The daily box office continues to rise, although the increase has slowed down, but that is not because the film's potential is almost exhausted, but because it has reached the upper limit of theaters.

It’s so popular that it’s hard to get a ticket.

I used to only hear about scalpers at concerts, but because of this movie, movie ticket scalpers also appeared.

Even a movie ticket was sold for 600 yuan, which made the news.

Such a rebellious scene directly silenced domestic filmmakers.

How can you play this?
Although previous Hollywood blockbusters had a great impact on Chinese films, the disparity was not too great and everyone gritted their teeth and accepted it.

But this time, it was really a dimensionality reduction blow, comparable to the Gulf War in 91, and it taught Chinese filmmakers a thorough lesson.

The General Administration convened a meeting with domestic directors overnight. Obviously, they let this giant crocodile in and watched it squawk and kill, which put a lot of pressure on them.

Chen Dong was also on the invited list, and he was personally called by Director Tong Gang, who clearly told him that anyone could be absent, but he could not.

It’s not to say that Chen Dong holds a lot of weight in the heart of the leader of the General Administration, but because he wants to reduce the huge impact of the Hollywood blockbuster "Avatar" on the Chinese film market. At present, only his "Interstellar" has the hope of doing so. .
