Superstars start from the Academy of Film and Television

Chapter 429 Icebreaker.

In fact, Japanese distributors have long been promoting and building momentum. The reason why they have waited until now is to wait for the news that the box office of Korean movies will explode.

Japan and South Korea can be regarded as a pair of old enemies, and there are many mysterious operations between them. However, in the field of culture, the relationship between the two parties is still very deep, er. To be precise, they should despise each other.

In short, for a movie that hit the box office in South Korea, Japanese audiences are very eager to watch it critically. seen the world.

In fact, there are quite a few audiences who go to the theater with this mentality. After the first scene is over, many Japanese audiences walk out of the theater with a dazed expression on their faces.

The impact of "Wandering Earth" on them is actually far more intense than that of many Chinese audiences, because in Japan, geological disasters have never stopped, earthquakes of magnitude [-] or [-] will come almost every once in a while, and the people even Get used to it.

So they have a soft spot for this kind of disaster film, and "The Wandering Earth" has achieved the ultimate in terms of creativity, graphics, and special effects.

Here I have to mention the Japanese distributor. They invited quite influential voice actors in Japan to dub the protagonists in the play. Many Japanese audiences even thought that this film was made in Japan.

Here I have to mention that the reason why "The Wandering Earth" has a good box office performance in Southeast Asian countries is that there is another interesting thing, because Asians in Southeast Asia look alike, and most of the time Both wear helmets, and it is difficult to find subtle differences.

Therefore, countries in various countries have intentionally or unintentionally blurred their true identities when promoting them, making many viewers think that these are their own people, and their sense of belonging is overwhelming. As for being exposed after seeing it, they can only express regret, who Why can't they make such a good film?

At the same time, counterparts from various countries are also aware of the gap between the two sides, especially Japan and South Korea, which are major cultural exporters. Needless to say, Korean movies have always been known for daring to expose ugliness. However, after watching "The Wandering Earth" in theaters, many Korean directors slumped in place as if they had been pulled out of their spirits.

How can I say this feeling?It's like the reaction of many film directors in China after seeing "Avatar", each of them was stunned.

In fact, everyone knows the gap between the domestic film industry and Hollywood, but everyone has been lying to themselves and the audience along the way. As long as the content is shot well, special effects are not important, but are they really not important?
Once there is a film like "The Wandering Earth" that has the ultimate plot and content, it is equivalent to a slap in the face. As for whether you are stunned by a stick or woken up, it is completely a personal quality.

"The Wandering Earth" was released in Japan for one and a half months, with a total box office of 310 billion yen, which is equivalent to about 20 billion yuan. It can be said to be a terrible result, and it also broke the original box office record of 308 billion yen.

According to the previous sharing agreement, Han Fei can get about 5 million yuan in revenue from the Japanese market alone, of course, only before tax.

Breaking the box office records of Japan and South Korea one after another, Huaxia netizens almost burst into tears, as if the money will eventually enter their pockets as happy. Of course, this kind of glory for the country is indeed worth bragging for Han Fei Wave.

After all, after so many years, no Chinese film has been able to do this. The so-called cultural export and cultural identity start from every bit.

In this regard, the happiest thing is naturally the leader. Han Fei's previous application was obtained by fighting with the superior leader with the script. What is it called?It may be a bit exaggerated to say that the eye knows the bead, but it makes sense to do practical things with heart and escort the export of Chinese culture, right?

In addition, the superior leaders now have a warm attitude towards him, telling him to make persistent efforts and prepare for new challenges. Could it be that this is a job transfer?
Another piece of good news is that "The Wandering Earth" was nominated for seven Golden Rooster Awards, including Best Director, Best Film, and Best Cinematography. I understand, after all, the special effects of "The Wandering Earth" are too prominent, and the acting skills of the actors seem to have no bright spots.

After a few years, the main creative team was naturally very happy to be nominated for the Golden Rooster Award again. In the past two and a half years, everyone has had a good night's sleep. Very important.

After the Japanese box office dropped, Han Fei did some calculations. "The Wandering Earth" invested 10.2 billion, and the box office in the mainland has already paid back, and it has earned about 20 billion. If you look at it this way, it is not as good as Han Fei's previous income, but It would be different if you count the overseas box office. The box office revenue in Southeast Asia alone is 7 million. Secondly, it has not yet been released in North America. If it works well, it will also be a lot of money.

Not only Han Fei is calculating this account, but all film and television companies are also calculating this account. At first, everyone thought that the investment risk of one billion yuan was too great, and the investment was not directly proportional to the income. Now it seems that this income ratio seems to be Not low either.

As a result, many film and television companies have begun to conduct research on overseas markets. Of course, the conclusions drawn are that the risks are still not small. In fact, only a few companies dare to go abroad. After all, the domestic market can make money, so why go abroad? What about the troubled water?

However, while most film and television companies are still waiting and watching, Star Art Media announced in a high-profile manner that their new film "Frozen Planet" will invite the original special effects team of "The Wandering Earth" for post-production. media attention.

Li Junmiao has also declared to the outside world more than once: "The Wandering Earth" is an icebreaker, and they are just following in the footsteps of the icebreaker.

However, compared to Li Junmiao's desperate gamble, most film and television companies choose to wait and see temporarily, and everyone is waiting for the box office performance of "The Wandering Earth" in North America.

Once the box office performance of "The Wandering Earth" is not good, it means that the cultural barriers between the East and the West are strong enough to ignore the excellence of Chinese-language films. Without the largest North American market, the plan for Chinese-language films to go global can only become a piece of paper empty talk.

At the beginning of November, Han Fei received a call from Chris, and Saidian Company has already started preparations for "The Wandering Earth" to be released in North America in the middle of this month. Blockbusters hit.
