Chapter 1072 Postponed in North America
"Hehe, yes, why is there no highlight and selling point, beautiful women, sunshine, sandy beaches and huge waves, and a ferocious great white shark, isn't everything full of conflict, making people feel very wonderful and enjoyable?"

Zhou Xia raised Er Di's chin, looked into his eyes and asked amusedly.

"Well, it seems so, please explain in detail."

Er Di understands a little bit, it is nothing more than presenting beautiful scenery, beauties, and all kinds of sensory stimuli that are in danger.

"It's about beauties fighting sharks to survive, being trapped on a rock, and then trying to find ways to kill the great white shark to survive. When the time comes, you'll know after reading the script."

Zhou Xia said impatiently.

"Oh, it seems interesting, you wrote the script?"

Er Di felt a bit like the few movies she had watched, but she didn't find it very attractive, so she couldn't help asking.

"Well, don't worry, don't underestimate the appeal of this kind of movie. This kind of thriller, the successful genre often has to be surprising, this movie is it."

When Zhou Xia said this, he looked at Er Di carefully, and couldn't help but said: "But then you have to dye your hair, what color is it?"

"Dye your hair, why, I don't want to dye it!" Er Di protested.

Zhou Xia didn't refute, but stared at Er Di's face carefully for a few times, and couldn't help thinking.

Considering the European and American markets, Erdi’s image is fine, but in order to achieve a greater common denominator, it may be better to dye his hair so that foreigners can feel more involved.

Of course, it is also possible to change the angle and only consider the domestic market, and let Er Di shoot like this.

Zhou Xia couldn't help thinking. He had already given the script to the North American company, so he didn't intend to interfere.

Today I found that Er Di is still very suitable for the heroine, and this topic was brought up, so he came up with this idea.

It seems a bit wasteful to use European and American teams to make this film purely a domestic film for the sake of Er Di.

"What's the matter, what are you thinking?"

Seeing that Zhou Xia remained silent, Er Di waited for a while, but still couldn't help asking.

"It's okay, let's talk about hair dyeing."

Zhou Xia came back to his senses, touched Erdi's three-dimensional pretty face, and couldn't help but said: "I was thinking just now, whether this movie should pay more attention to the domestic market or the international market. Your hair dyeing is for this consideration."

"That's right, the story you just said seems to have passed domestic censorship and can be released in China."

Er Di suddenly realized, couldn't help being happy, and immediately said: "You can decide this, but I think it's better to take care of both. I don't want to be a loser."

"Hehe, don't worry, I can't afford it. Besides, after you finish filming this movie, you should hurry up and prepare. When the time comes, read the script and learn more about swimming, surfing, and sharks."

"Well, I see, I will not let you down."

Er Di couldn't help but feel full of happiness. The person he likes cares about her so much, and doing so many things for her is the greatest happiness.

Twelve hours later, the plane landed in New York. After Zhou Xia and others got off the plane, it was around one o'clock in the evening local time, and they continued to go back to the hotel to rest.

Zhou Xia rested on the plane for a long time, and then asked about the preparations for the daytime shooting. He was relieved when he heard that the arrangements were in place.

Unable to sleep, Zhou Xia simply checked the reviews of "Descendants of Yan and Huang" on the Internet.

He didn't have much time, and he was filming again. He hadn't read online comments for two weeks, and only listened to reports from his subordinates.

Now that the film has been released in North America for more than a month, how well the postponed screening will perform depends on the real evaluation of fans.

The screening of "Descendants of Yan Huang" in the global market has entered a countdown, and many markets have postponed the screening.

It is the third month of release in China, and the second month is coming to an end in other markets, and it will actually be released at that time.

Only in North America, because the release was later, the postponement of the second month only started for a week.

In the European and American markets, the final result of this film was only on par with "New Detective", and did not exceed the performance of "Sword".

However, it was a big hit in the Asian market. After some initial public opinion influence, it has remained strong in the end. It has achieved very high box office in South Korea, island countries, Malaysia, Lion City and other countries.

After all, it is the first film to show Chinese special forces, and the film has a touching love story between handsome men and beautiful women, so it will naturally be liked by countless people.

In particular, the male protagonist is different from most of the neutral and gentle girl idols on the screen in recent years. He is a special soldier with humor, skill, and heroic demeanor. He has naturally captured the hearts of a large number of female compatriots.

However, in the European and American markets, they mainly come for Zhou Xia's action movies, and they don't have much of this kind of feeling, so the performance is naturally mediocre.

Generally speaking, the film still performed well in the global market, but this time the domestic and Asian markets accounted for a higher proportion, accounting for two-thirds of the total box office.

Unlike in the past, the domestic market accounted for half and other markets accounted for half.

However, the mainland box office of the film has reached 68 billion, and the global box office has reached 22.6 billion. I believe that it will not be a big problem to break through 70 billion domestically and 24 billion globally.

The box office in North America has just reached 2.6 million in the first month of its release, surpassing the 5 million US dollars in the first month of "Mission: Impossible 1.7", and now it is exactly 2.7 million. However, it is constantly being impacted by some American genre films, and it is indeed difficult to make a big difference at the box office after postponed screenings. .

That's why Zhou Xia wanted to read some follow-up reviews on the Internet.

If the evaluation is good, it may exceed 3.5 million US dollars, otherwise, I am afraid it will stop at 3 million US dollars.

I went to several professional film review websites and video websites in North America and looked at it, and found that the ratings were around 8 points.

Many people think that the ending of the movie is a bit old-fashioned, especially that both the hero and the heroine almost died.

Some people in China also commented on this situation in this way, and Zhou Xia was helpless.

The heroine was infected with the plague in Africa. This is related to the plot, not a forced design, and the hero and the second male were trapped in a terrorist organization in the end, which is indeed some routine.

But the routine is very sincere, and it is also to show that many special soldiers are facing the danger of sacrifice at any time.

At one time, he really wanted the male lead and the second male lead to sacrifice like this. In the end, considering the audience's acceptance, he had to continue this routine. There was no way to be picked on by some people.

Seeing that European and American audiences only have some extreme comments, they will put some patriotic and ideological labels on this film, and most other people still only comment on the film, Zhou Xia is relieved.

This shows that his career in Hollywood in the past few years has not been in vain. He participated in two "The Expendables" and "Pacific Rim".

In particular, the filming of this film obviously won the approval of some leftist and liberal media.

Of course, this is largely due to the fact that the United States is not as extreme as the radical president who came to power.

In another year, it may be necessary to be more cautious in the North American market.

After reading the evaluation of the movie, Zhou Xia felt relieved. He was doing many things in advance, but everything will change completely by then.
