Superstars start from the Academy of Film and Television

Chapter 486 He is back again.

After the Golden Week, although the box office of "Avatar" has declined to a certain extent, the popularity is getting higher and higher. As more viewers have watched it, there will be more discussions about the film.

Of course, some of them feel that this movie is a bit exaggerated and cannot be compared to a Hollywood popcorn movie. As for the idea and connotation, it cannot be discussed at all.

Han Fei also responded to this: "Avatar is just a commercial movie. We didn't expect the audience to be enlightened and their souls sublimated after watching this movie."

Now even the film bureau doesn't require the script to be entertaining and full of positive energy, but some audiences just want to find fault.

But meeting Han Fei is considered unlucky for them. They confessed directly, we are just a popcorn movie, what's the matter?
After all, gangsters are a minority, and most viewers are quite rational. Watching movies is an entertainment in itself. Those who like to watch commercial movies are to relax after a stressful work. Just enjoy it.

If you like to watch literary and artistic films, you should go to see them. If you cry, it can also help the development of lacrimal glands and reduce the risk of cataracts. How good is it?
As for those netizens who like to find a sense of presence on the Internet and brush up their style, they are purely looking for trolls.

The box office of "Avatar" reached 21 billion in the second week. Generally speaking, the decline is quite obvious, but this is normal. After the Golden Week, everyone is busy with work, and naturally fewer viewers can spare time to watch movies, not to mention " "Avatar" is nearly three hours long, which also discourages some viewers who don't have enough time.

The drop in the box office data in the third week was even more pronounced, but what is interesting is that the attendance rate of the 2D screening hall has been declining all the way, but the attendance rate of the 3D and giant screen halls has not dropped much. It should be a large part of the audience. I couldn't buy a 3D ticket before, so I had to choose 2D or didn't watch it at all. Now I'm going to make up the ticket.

In fact, there are not many viewers with this mentality, especially some netizens who have grabbed 3D tickets. The difference is huge.

This also directly caused some viewers who watched 2D to feel that it was nothing more than that. However, when they watched 3D, they would be shocked to find out: Am I watching the same movie?

In mid-November, "Avatar", which had been in theaters for 78 days, finally came to an end, ending its [-]-day domination of the mainland film market, and the final box office reached [-] billion.

Han Fei didn't have time to rest either. As soon as the painting was released in the mainland market, he took the original film to the United States to prepare for the early promotion of "Avatar".

"Hi, my old buddy, you've finally come to the United States." Chris was as enthusiastic as ever, it shouldn't be said, far more enthusiastic than before.

To put it bluntly, the life of the Saidian Group in the past two years has not been easy. Originally released a series of films by Han Fei, the Saidian Group also became famous in the circle. An unprecedented storm.

The epidemic has come. Although movie theaters have not been banned in many places in the United States, ordinary people are either out of money for safety or have no money in their pockets, and the theater business has plummeted.

Naturally, the match point company was unlucky along with it. Seeing that the epidemic situation has finally stabilized this year, the match point company also missed the best opportunity for development.

So for Chris, Han Fei is like a life-saving straw, how can he not be enthusiastic?He couldn't wait to hug Han Fei and take a bite.

"Old man, you look much more haggard than before." Han Fei smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Chris shrugged helplessly: "Yes, as you can see, the situation in the United States is not good, thanks to our idiot president, you know, he is like a clown, talking about himself on the stage of Congress Words, completely disregarding our life and death, fortunately, he has stepped down now."

Well, this is America, here, you can't call black people, because people will think you are a racist, and you can't call unions, it will make you lose your job, the only person left to call is the president, once the United States When something goes wrong, the President of the United States is naturally the first to take the blame.

But having said that, the one who was scolded didn't seem to be wronged at all.

Along the way, Han Fei did see a depressed scene. The last time many shops on the street were in a bustling business state, at least half of them were closed now, and there seemed to be fewer pedestrians on the street. After all, the epidemic in the United States During the period, a lot of harassment operations were carried out on foreign residents, and many people were driven away.

However, many people who left were a blessing in disguise. The subsequent outbreak of the epidemic in the United States also proved that they were completely incapable of controlling the epidemic.

Driving all the way to Hollywood, Han Fei found that there were a lot fewer people here, and there were closed film companies everywhere, and there were even many transfer announcements, but obviously, no one came to take over, and they probably all went bankrupt.

"As you can see, the epidemic in the United States is much more severe than in China. Hollywood is the hardest-hit industry. Yes, there is no one. Almost 40% of film companies have closed down, and this figure is still rising steadily. " Chris's tone reveals uneasiness, because he does not know how long the company's shareholders can hold on, perhaps, tomorrow, Saidian Group will go bankrupt and liquidate like other companies.

The car stopped in front of a familiar building, and Chris mocked with a wry smile: "Can you believe it? The villa you lived in back then is only worth 800 million dollars now, how about it? Why don't you buy one? "

Han Fei shrugged: "The price is not bad, but I don't plan to immigrate. Even if I go on vacation for a year, I won't be able to live there for a few days, and I have to pay you property taxes, which is not worth it."

Chris shook his head helplessly: "Well, you are right, China is the safest country in the world." Then he took out the key and opened the door.

Han Fei chuckled inwardly, perhaps this is the change that the epidemic has brought to the world. People in the United States once agreed that the United States is the best and safest country in the world.

They used to look down on other countries in the world with a proud attitude, and Americans were once proud of their country. However, this epidemic also made most Americans jump out of the bottom of the well. It turns out that there are still people in the world A place called Huaxia.

"How's the promotion going?" Han Fei asked.

Chris raised his eyebrows and said: "Hey, my old man, you are too nervous, relax, we are the best partners."

Having said that, in fact, Chris was more impatient than anyone else, and immediately took out a document from his briefcase.

"As you can see, there used to be more than 4000 movie theaters in North America, but now only 3200 are still operating normally. However, after our sample survey, the audience's desire to go into movie theaters still exists, but... there is nothing good recently. movie release."

When Han Fei heard this, he laughed secretly. In fact, it wasn’t just his counterparts in China who did this. American Hollywood giants were the same. They naturally had well-produced blockbusters in their hands. As for the current North American film market, it is also in distress.

In fact, if you look at the history of American movies, you will find that every economic crisis is an excellent opportunity for the development of movies. After all, many Americans are unemployed. Although they have no savings, they have government relief funds, and because of the sharp drop in income, other Some entertainment items are too expensive for them to afford.

And going to the cinema to watch a movie not only saves money, but also gets spiritual comfort, which is simply super value.

However, all audiences have requirements for movies. You can't exchange some junk for the money in my pocket, let alone waste nearly two hours of my time.

So now the entire North American film market is extremely sluggish. The more sluggish some big-budget movies are, the less they dare to release them. This has formed a vicious circle.

Han Fei flipped through the data and closed the file after a while: "Okay, I hope your data is true."

"Of course, 100% true, my old buddy, please believe me, no one wants [Avatar] to succeed more than me." Chris finally said something from his heart, at least Han Fei thinks so.

For this promotion, Han Fei is still planning to continue to cooperate with the international student group, and, considering the situation of the international students, this time it is a paid service.

Every international student participating in the promotion can get a salary of $10 per hour. Of course, in order to avoid affecting everyone's studies, Han Fei only allows each person to work four hours a day.

Even so, it has received responses from many Chinese students studying abroad. In fact, not all American students studying abroad are rich second-generation, and many of them are from low- and middle-income families.

The tuition fees of American colleges and universities are frighteningly expensive. If it is not a full scholarship, it will be a big burden for the families of international students. Forty dollars a day is not a small amount. Moreover, they only work for four hours without delay. Studies, and many international students were originally not interested, but when they heard that they could get a salary, the number of applicants rose sharply.

Han Fei also never refuses anyone who comes. American people are not as particular about things as Huaxia students. Maybe you give him a flyer, and he turns his head and stuffs it into the trash can, and then goes home to sleep. You can’t even deduct his salary. , because maybe there is a trade union behind them.

The foreign students work much harder. Even in the wind and snow, they will tirelessly distribute leaflets on the street and don't go back until the distribution is over.

Los Angeles was very cold this year. Even with the heater turned on in the room, Han Fei didn't feel very warm, especially when he was sleeping at night.

Christmas is approaching, and the streets finally have a festive atmosphere. The entrances of shops are decorated with lights and festoons, and some pine trees are specially planted at the entrances of houses, and colored lights are tied on them.

Christmas in the United States is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China. It is the most important day of the year for American people. Naturally, it is also a time for family reunion.

In the cultural values ​​of the United States, even if you are busy on this day, you should be with your family. Even if your family is poor, you should prepare a roast turkey on the table.

Of course, it is a pity that there is no habit of playing mahjong in the United States, so after dinner, they often choose to go shopping outside the mall, and at the same time prepare gifts for the children so that they can be stuffed into the children's socks at night. When the kids woke up the next day, tell them it was a present from Santa Claus.

When many families are wandering in large shopping malls or urban shopping malls, they will always see some posters. There are several blue-skinned humanoid creatures printed on the posters, which are very strange and eye-catching.

Looking again, it turned out to be a movie poster, a sci-fi blockbuster?Investing $[-] million?Seems pretty good?Do you want to go and have a look?
The children are naturally very happy, it seems that they haven't been to the cinema for a long time.

After entering the movie theater, I found that most of them seemed to be Chinese people. I couldn't help being curious. I had never seen so many Chinese people in the movie theater before. Didn't they celebrate Christmas?

Soon, the film started, and the face of a Chinese person came into view. To be honest, most Americans have face blindness when they see Chinese people, but seeing this face, they also understand why there are so many Chinese people in the theater. people.

However, the development of the plot left them no time to think about those messy things. With the appearance of the Na'vi tribe, a whole new world unfolded before their eyes.

For children, the blue skin of the Na'vi tribe, as well as the elf-like long ears and flexible tail, are easy to get their love.

It is worth mentioning that the original version of the Na'vi has a braid, and the tentacles in the braid are an important tool for them to connect with the mount. In Han Fei's version, the Na'vi have no braid, and this function is changed to On the tail, so the Na'vi people's tail is also longer.

After three years, Lao Ma brought his wife to the screening room again. His son went to school in another city, and he didn't come back because the vacation was too short.

Many things have happened in the past three years. When I saw Han Fei's work in the cinema again, Lao Ma was still full of expectations.

Obviously, Han Fei did not let him down. In the past, Lao Ma always felt that the real blockbusters were better done by Hollywood. If the previous "Wandering Earth" was not made by Chinese people, he would not buy tickets to support it. Although the filming of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is not bad, it only reaches the level of general Hollywood blockbusters.

However, the shock that "Avatar" brought to Lao Ma after three years is no less than the protests and demonstrations held in various parts of the United States during the epidemic.

The dream-like real scene is something Lao Ma has never seen in various Hollywood blockbusters before, and the floating scene of Huangshan Mountain in the lens makes people want to be in it.

"He's back again!" the old horse muttered to himself.

Ma is not the only one who feels this way. The release of "Avatar" has also attracted some American film critics. Even if they don't want to admit it, they must see the reality clearly.

The man is back with his work again!
