Superstars start from the Academy of Film and Television

Chapter 432 Profit Is the Fundamental Power to Drive the Market
Hollywood has always been an arrogant circle, where the world's best directors, actors, and crews gather here. In short, everything related to movies can find top talents here. In their eyes, the best movies in the world are all Should come from Hollywood.

In Hollywood, there are only two criteria for a movie to be good. First, whether it wins an Oscar, and second, whether the box office is good enough. Obviously, a foreign-language film with a two-week box office of 1.4 million dollars is definitely enough to raise eyebrows.

So Hollywood filmmakers began to examine this film with their eyes, first of all, the value, oh, this is too bad, what wandering earth?This is simply a false proposition, why not build a spaceship?Building a planetary engine to propel the Earth?What?No room to shuttle?No wormholes? NO, why not follow our script?

However, for this statement, many American people think this idea is very cool, especially the line "ignite Jupiter, save the earth"

That's right, cool is enough, as for whether it is unscientific enough?Please, who can travel through time and space to prove that it can succeed?

Some scientists have also begun to express their opinions in newspapers. Professor George of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that planetary engines are achievable, but it is almost impossible to push the entire earth, because even if all the rocks on the earth are burned It is impossible to obtain such a large thrust.

Of course, Hollywood doesn't care about scientific issues at all. What they really complain about is values. Why can Liu Qi get the qualification to enter the dungeon without participating in the lottery?This is Chiguoguo's privilege. Wang Lei disregarded the safety of team members and civilians in order to save people. Ahem, the most important thing is that the one who saves the world is not an American. Poor review.

As for special effects?Don't make trouble, we can reach this level ten years ago, nothing surprising, in short, in the eyes of Hollywood filmmakers, this is a film full of slots.

However, in the eyes of Chinese in the United States, this film is exceptionally good, and it is the best Chinese film they have ever seen. Therefore, under the spontaneous promotion of many Chinese, the attention of "Wandering Earth" is getting higher and higher, and word-of-mouth has gradually begun to spread. Fermentation, the number of venues for screenings is gradually increasing, and at the peak, there are even more than 2000 venues in North America.

Although it only accounts for half of the more than 4000 theaters in North America, it also broke the record for Chinese-language movies.

One month later, the North American box office exceeded 4.6 million, which immediately shocked the entire Hollywood. Everyone in the industry had heard of such a movie, but they had never heard of it, whether it was actors, directors, or production companies, oh, It seems that only the issuing company has a little impression, but it doesn't seem to be a big company?

In short, everything about "The Wandering Earth" is very mysterious to Hollywood, but the more mysterious something is, the more people like to explore it, so Han Fei, as the boss of "Flying Bird Film and Television", was dug out.

The values ​​that the United States has always advocated, they packaged this as the "American Dream", the meaning is very simple, that is, ordinary people can also create miracles through their own efforts. Obviously, Han Fei's entrepreneurial journey is very consistent with the "American Dream". In fact, if he is an American, or has stayed in the United States for a while, some American media will definitely attribute this to the success of the "American Dream" values.

It's a pity that it doesn't. On this point, the United States still needs to show some face. As for a certain stick noodle country, it's hard to say.

In short, the name Han Fei has gradually appeared in the American media, and his journey is indeed in line with the characteristics of the "American Dream". He was not very eye-catching in high school, and gradually began to emerge after he went to art school. Legendary Journey, damn it, the more I look at it, the more I feel that this guy is a replica of the "American Dream".

But it's a pity that Han Fei is not in the United States, otherwise he would definitely be interviewed by many media. Americans like to hear such inspirational stories.

Since Han Fei was not around, the media naturally focused on Chris for the interview, so Chris, who was despised by everyone in the industry at first, became a guest of the media, and logged into a certain page almost every day to become the cover character .

And Matchpoint has also gained fame in the circle, and some independent filmmakers began to ask them to help them distribute their films, and the scale of their performance was unprecedentedly prosperous.

Chris has been very busy these days, but no matter how busy he is, he is still very concerned about "The Wandering Earth". After all, the box office is 4.5 million. If it can break through 5 million, the meaning will be completely different.

The day before Christmas, the North American film tour of "The Wandering Earth" finally came to an end, with a box office of 5.2 million US dollars, ranking first in the December box office list, but this has reached its limit.

In fact, Chris knows very well that the Chinese contribute at least 65% of the box office, and what confuses Chris the most is that many Chinese overseas students not only recommend this movie to their classmates, but also form small groups, and even show up at weekends. He used their self-made leaflets to promote the film spontaneously. He swore that he didn't spend a penny in the early stage. Later, when he heard about the existence of these people, he started to provide leaflets, but that was all. The group is still without a penny.

Moreover, Chris has seen these Chinese students wearing thick down jackets handing out leaflets on the street more than once, telling people how exciting "Wandering Earth" is.

"What's wrong with these people?" Chris was puzzled, isn't it just a movie?They are neither fans of Han Fei, nor fans of a certain actor. Why do they do this?
In this regard, Chris even asked a Chinese student in private, and the other party said proudly: This is a small step for Chinese-language films to go global, and it is also a big step for the world to recognize China, and all of them are proud of it.

Chris has always thought that the Huaxia people are a very strange ethnic group. Their life is unbelievably monotonous. They don’t like to use credit cards, and they don’t like all kinds of parties. Even when their companions are in danger, they rarely help them. They don't pay attention to who is the president of the United States, they only care about when the salary is paid every month, and then they will send the money home.

In the past, Chris once thought that there was no social attribute in their genes. However, from these Chinese students, he saw something different.

The popularity of the box office in North America directly detonated the entire Huaxia Network, and even some official media began to pay attention.

For a while, the entire Chinese film and television industry found that their previous analysis of "The Wandering Earth" seemed not comprehensive enough. This is the North American film market, which is completely different from the previous Korean and Japanese film markets.

And what does the $5.2 million box office mean?Han Fei can get a share of 1.5 million U.S. dollars, which is a net profit of one billion yuan.

Profit is the fundamental driving force to drive the market, and some film and television companies that originally only focused on the domestic market have also been tempted.
