Chapter 652 "Mysterious Superstar"

""Interstellar" breaks the box office record in film history, and the total box office in the mainland exceeds 20 billion!"

"Unprecedented figures. Following the first film to break the box office of one billion, Tang An once again raised the upper limit of domestic films to 20 billion!"

"It was released for more than 60 days, "Interstellar" spanned three weeks, and the mainland box office officially broke through the 20 billion mark in the early hours of this morning!"

""Interstellar" had a perfect curtain call and officially entered the global film market. The total box office in nearly 6.38 countries and regions around the world reached 40 million US dollars, equivalent to more than [-] billion RMB!"

"Break countless records and set aside all Chinese movies, Tang An once again created a new legend!"

""Interstellar" raked in 6.38 million US dollars worldwide, and broke into the sixth place in the global box office in 2013, and broke into the top 40 box office box office in global film history, ranking No. [-]!"

""Interstellar" became the first Chinese-language film to break into the top [-] box office in global film history, and it was also the first non-English film and the first non-American film!"

"Tang An has broken Hollywood's monopoly on the global film market, and Chinese films have entered a new era!"

In mid-September, "Interstellar" was finally released in China, with a total box office of just 9 billion yuan.

The North American, European, and Asian markets are still showing, but after more than a month of screenings, basically there is not much box office potential.

US$1.41 million in North America, US$1.76 million combined in Europe and Asia, and US$1300 million in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

6.38 million US dollars worldwide, equivalent to RMB 41.5 billion!
And it ranked sixth in the annual global box office list, No. 40 in the global film history box office list.

No matter that number or that record, it is unattainable for today's domestic films.

Even for non-English, non-American movies, this number is unimaginable.

Not only in China, but also around the world, "Interstellar" occupies a lot of entertainment pages in this period when the movie market is cold.

But more attention is paid to the box office. As for the film itself, in the eyes of foreign media, there are basically no reports that this is a science fiction film that can be regarded as a classic in film history.

Originally, Nolan's "Interstellar" had a much worse reputation overseas than "Gravity", but it was replaced by an all-Chinese main creator, which was even more unpopular.

The box office is high, and the feedback in the eyes of movie fans is not bad. The IMAX effect of more than one hour has also conquered overseas audiences.

There are many prejudices within each country, let alone between countries. With such a high box office, the IMDB score can still be above 7 points, which is already a very high commercial film.

The first non-American film in the top 6 global film history, the annual global No.[-], and the good performance of various overseas countries, this is the focus of foreign media attention.

It has been widely mentioned in foreign media, let alone in China. In this dull September, it once again dominates the screen.

Wang Feng and Fei Peng, who made headlines because of their divorce, were also squeezed out.

The media, movie fans, filmmakers, and actors once again kept mentioning this movie that exploded more than a month ago.

"Damn, awesome, more than 6 million US dollars in the world!"

"School has started, I haven't paid attention to "Interstellar" for a long time, or I almost forgot that the box office of this movie will exceed 20 billion!"

"From one billion, 12 billion, and 14 billion to 20 billion in one fell swoop, it has pulled all other movies by several levels."

"Amazing~ (broken sound), next time it's time to break 25 billion."

"Damn it, it's getting more and more brutal. It's more than 20 billion at every turn. Making movies is more profitable than building houses."

"It seems that Tang An used to say that the domestic box office can exceed 50 billion. He is really not bragging. With the current growth rate, it is estimated that it will take five or six years."

"If the country can break 65 billion, a full billion dollars, it will probably scare the Americans to death."

"Back when Xu Ke was promoting "Di Renjie: The Dragon King of God", he claimed to break one billion. Compared with it, it is not at the same level."

"It is estimated that only Tang An can surpass this record. I don't know when the next movie will be."

"It should be soon, it is estimated that it will be announced after a while."

20 billion is a huge shock to all actors, filmmakers, and film companies. Even if they knew it was just a matter of time, sooner or later it would be broken.

But when this number is really in front of my eyes, I can't help but sigh, the chicken feels a deep sense of powerlessness.

Whether it is Zhang Yimou who is filming "Return", Jiang Wen who is making money standing up and preparing "One Step Away", Xu Ke whose new film is about to be released, and Chen Kai who is preparing "Taoist Down the Mountain".

Wu Yusen, who was filming the Huaguo version of "Titanic", and Feng Xiaogang, who has finished the post-production of "Private Order", neither have the confidence to surpass this figure.

The previous 14 billion is not so far away. After all, there are more and more movies breaking one billion, so we can still look forward to it.

But these 20 billion, this number, in this era, is like a moat, which people cannot touch.

That is, Feng Xiaogang, in this Great Hall of the People, supervised the rehearsal of teams of people, so that he could have a little comfort.

Feng Xiaogang is the first non-staff director of CCTV to direct CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. This honor belongs to him only.

The outside news didn't bother Tang An at all. Basically, all the interviews were postponed, and only one from CCTV was accepted, and the rest were left to the actors to deal with.

For more than half a month, besides the script of "Operation Red Sea", Tang An was also thinking about another movie.

After thinking for a long time, Tang An finally made a decision.

"Mysterious Superstar", an inspirational comedy movie.

Comedy movies have never been tried. Although it is half a comedy, it is still a comedy.

And simple, except that the heroine needs to undergo a period of training, there is basically nothing difficult.

Of course, this is definitely not the original version. The original version has only received a mediocre response in China, and it is far inferior to "Falling Dad".

And the original "Mystery Superstar" cannot be regarded as an inspirational movie, it is a pure feminist movie, even more pure than "Falling Dad".

Inspiration is to achieve success through continuous hard work, but has the heroine in the original movie worked hard?
What really moves people is not the heroine, but her mother, which is the center.

Therefore, the domestic response is average, and the box office is not very high.

Not to mention in India, the word-of-mouth and box office are average, and the top ten of the year are not ranked, only one-tenth of the annual No.1.

The theme must not be women's rights, and the success of "Falling Dad" in China is not because of this.

It is a dream, it is warmth, it is the hard work of training and competition again and again, and the iron man spirit of not admitting defeat and starting all over again after failure.

There is also the struggle against reality, but one is from society and the other is from patriarchy, at least in the film mainly from the father.

"Falling Dad" couldn't be filmed, and there was no time to gain weight for the leading actor.

Our country's sports are not weak, unlike India's, and this story has a prototype in India's.

It is impossible to create that kind of atmosphere in the movie, and there is no way to switch to other sports. After all, a large part of the reason is the disapproval of the whole society in the movie.

"Mysterious Superstar" is my father's disapproval, which can be realized in China.

But the original version is not an inspirational movie, it should be said to be a miracle movie. The talent of the heroine is a miracle.

In the original "Mysterious Superstar", the heroine does have a dream, but has she struggled?Have worked hard?After what kind of hard struggle?

No, it was her mother who struggled, just like at the end of the movie, the mysterious superstar was her mother.

Without going through hard training, singing a few songs and posting them on Facebook will become popular all over the world, which is better than all the Uranus superstars in the world in reality.

As far as the movie is concerned, without those songs, the movie would have dropped a notch.

People in China have never heard those songs, but the first time they listened to them, they felt fresh and really nice.

But mainly because of the freshness.

There are a lot of classic songs in "Chinese Partner", and not many people say that the songs in it are good.

Switching to Chinese songs that everyone is familiar with, the feeling will be lost.

There will definitely be a lot of changes, and the theme of feminism will be dropped,
The theme is still inspirational, and a part of the training scene will be added.

Success is spelled out, so that the audience can feel more involved.

Practice hard, until your voice is hoarse and you can't speak, the sense of substitution will be stronger.

If you are so talented, and you sing a song that becomes popular all over the world, what will the audience think?
With that talent, I can do it in my place!

The role of the father will also change. There is domestic violence in the country, but in the cities, it is a small part, and it is not as serious as in India.

There must be domestic violence, which is the factor that promotes the heroine to change the status quo.

Need to balance a degree, not too much.

The theme of freedom should also be downplayed. In China, if a high school student thinks about freedom, those audiences with children must have opinions.

Tang An roughly sketched a line on the paper, a serious, rigid, violent and patriarchal father.

A gentle, kind and strong mother, a housewife, without any skills.

If one had the ability, this would not be the case. Now in domestic cities, even in county towns, women are more powerful than men in many places.

The character of the heroine can not be changed for the time being. Ordinary girls love fantasy and are impulsive. Sometimes they only care about themselves when they do things, and they don't care about the consequences to others.

The main thing is the plot, which needs to be revised and polished slowly.

Domestic violence must be changed, let alone other things, too violent is not good for underage audiences.

And those songs, you have to find someone to find some suitable songs.

But no matter how well they fit, the original effect cannot be achieved. After all, I have listened to classic songs countless times.

The most important thing is the story, moving people with the story.

Hard work + warmth + comedy elements are basically the core of the movie.

A pile of manuscript paper was scribbled, altered and rewritten in a mess. Tang An didn't stop writing until the secretary came to inform that it was almost time.

After the company's reorganization, the general framework is basically in place. Chen Guofu officially resigned two days ago, taking away his own team, several screenwriters, producers, and the director of the publicity and marketing department.

Zhang Qiang officially took office and took over the rest.

There is no need to publicize this matter with much fanfare. A press conference will be held to announce the launch of the next two films, and there will be a 20 billion celebration press conference, all put together.

PS: There are no movies to copy. Since I wrote the book, I have read less and less movies, and I have no time to watch movies.

"Mysterious Superstar" seems to be written very little, and I don't know if I can improve it.

Please don't spray.

In addition, I don't know much about songs, and I don't think of many suitable ones. If you have suitable suggestions, you can join the group discussion: 785015273.
