Superstar starts from the Film and Television Academy

Big Star Star Starts at Film Academy Chapter 297

Hastily flipping through the file, his finger kept going down and pressing on a series of numbers, Chris' expression went from initially odd to then excited as he waved his fist and mouthed, "Hey, you bastards, let's see who's laughing at me!"

Hanfei got a call from Chris around 4 p.m. He smiled and said, "Man, it must be early in the morning there for you guys, right?"

"Aren't you at all curious about the first day of box office in North America?" Chris flinched.

"Of course I'm curious, but by the sound of your voice, I knew it had to be good news, didn't I?"

Chris was bummed, "Well, you're a pretty boring guy, 13.68 million US dollars on the first day of box office, and based on the numbers released so far, it could be in the top five of the box office, man, we're going to be rich!"

This is the first time I've ever been to the U.S. where I've been to the U.S. where I've been to the U.S. where I've been.

As a matter of fact, after the first day's box office figures were released, some cinemas also increased the number of "Wandering Earth" screen canvases, and some cinemas that refused to release the film before also started to accept it.

At first, people were only interested in the Chinese market in North America, but after the film was released, we gradually found that many young people from China began to enter the cinema under the leadership of their classmates to watch the film.

With the steady increase of box office amount, some media started to report this seemingly insignificant event, but most of them just reported it as an insignificant news.

It wasn't until the box office figures were released in the first week, with "Wandering Earth" ranking third in the box office rankings with $113 million, that many media, film companies, and critics began to reexamine this work.

Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing for "Wandering Planet", many criticisms came, especially in the environment of the cultural differences between East and West, this kind of criticism is even more harsh, even without a bottom line.

For example, in "Saving Private Ryan", in order to save a mother's only surviving son, a whole team was put in danger, which is humanism in the eyes of the MiG.

In order to save the 320,000 people in Hangzhou, Wang Lei disregarded the lives of other members of the team and even civilians, which is completely hegemonic behavior, and for a while, the young actor who played the role of Wang Lei was not very hot in China, but was reported in the media, and I don't know whether to be happy or depressed.

However, in Chris's opinion, these criticisms and arguments were the best means of publicity, and he didn't care about being scolded, looking at the steadily improving box office trend every day, he even hated to have these guys scolded a little harder.

In the midst of this controversy, the box office of "Wandering Earth" reached $134 million in its second week in North America, and the number of theatres showing the film exceeded 800, a time when the Hollywood media was in an uproar, and some of them even openly shouted: "The wolf is coming."

Chapter 432 - Profit is the fundamental action force that drives the marketplace

Hollywood has always been an arrogant circle, here gathered the world's best directors, actors, crew in short everything related to the film, here can find the top talent, in their eyes, the world's best movies should be from Hollywood.

In Hollywood, there are only two criteria for whether a movie is good or not: first, whether it gets an Oscar, and second, whether the box office is good enough, and apparently the box office of a two-week foreign-language movie with a box office of 140 million US dollars is definitely enough to turn heads.

And so Hollywood filmmakers began to look at this film with their eyes, first of all, the values, oh, this is terrible, what wandering earth? It's simply a sham, so why not build a ship? Building planetary engines to propel Earth? What? No space travel? No wormhole?NO, why not follow our script?

However, many people in the U.S. think it's a cool idea, especially the line "Light Jupiter and save the planet."

Yes, cool is enough, as to whether it's unscientific enough? Come on, time travel who can prove it will work?

Some scientists also began to express their opinions in the newspapers, and Professor George from MIT stated that a planetary engine was possible, but it would be nearly impossible to propel the entire Earth, as it would be impossible to get such a large thrust even if all the rocks on the Earth were burned.

Of course, there are questions about science that Hollywood doesn't care about at all, and the real focus of their spat is on values: why did Liu Qi get to enter the Dungeon without having to participate in the lottery? It's a stark example of privilege, as Wang Lei ignores the lives of his team and the civilians in order to save them.

As for the special effects? It's no surprise that we reached this level ten years ago.

However, in the eyes of the Chinese, this film is particularly good, the best Chinese film they have seen, so under the spontaneous propaganda of many Chinese, "Wandering Earth" is getting more and more attention, word of mouth also began to slowly ferment, the number of screening venues is also gradually increasing, at its peak, the entire North America even more than 2,000 venues.

Although compared to more than 4,000 theaters in North America, only half of them, but this also broke the record of the Chinese film.

A month later, the North American box office exceeded 460 million, suddenly caused a shock to the entire Hollywood, all those in the industry have heard of such a film, but never heard of it, no matter the actors, director, or production company, oh, it seems that only the distribution company is somewhat impressive, but it seems that it is not a big company?

In short, everything about "Wandering Earth" is very mysterious to Hollywood, but the more mysterious things, the more people like to explore, so Han Fei, as the boss of "Flying Bird Pictures", was dug out.

It is obvious that Han Fei's entrepreneurial journey is very much in line with the "rice dream". In fact, if he was a rice person or had been in rice for a while, there would be rice media attributing this to the victory of the "rice dream" values.

Unfortunately, there are no such people, and in this regard, Yonaguni has a bit of face.

In short, Han Fei's name is gradually appearing in the media, and his journey is indeed in line with the characteristics of the "Beige Dream", not very impressive in his high school years, but after attending art school, he gradually started to make a name for himself, and then started his own business, and then began his legendary journey.

Unfortunately, Han Fei is not in MiG, or else he would have been interviewed by many media, MiG people love to hear such inspirational stories.

Since Han Fei wasn't there, the media naturally focused on Chris, who was initially spurned by his peers, but became the media's guest of honor, logging onto a page almost every day and becoming the cover story.

Race Point also gained a reputation in the industry, and some independent filmmakers, who began to seek them out to help distribute their films, prospered on an unprecedented scale.

Chris was very busy these days, but even though he was busy, he was still very concerned about "Wandering Planet", which made 450 million at the box office.

The day before Christmas, "Wandering Planet"'s North American film tour finally came to an end, with a box office of 520 million US dollars, ranking first in the box office in December, but this has already reached the limit.

In fact, Chris is very clear that the Chinese contributed at least 65% of the box office, and the most confusing thing for Chris is that many Chinese students not only recommended the film to their classmates, but also formed small groups, and even took their homemade flyers to promote the film spontaneously during the weekend.

And more than once, Chris saw these Chinese students wearing thick down jackets and handing out flyers on the street, telling people how wonderful it was to "wander the earth".

"What's wrong with these people?" Chris is confused, it's just a movie, right? They are neither fans of Hanfei nor of a particular actor, so why exactly are they doing this?

Chris even asked one of the Chinese students privately about this, and they said with pride: this is a small step for Chinese films to go global, and also a big step for the world to recognize the Chinese, and all of them are proud of this.

They were incredibly monotonous, they didn't like to use credit cards, they didn't like parties, and they seldom helped their peers even when they were in danger, they didn't care who was the President of the People's Republic of China, all they cared about was when they got paid every month, and then they would send the money home.

In the past, Chris once thought they had no social attributes in their genes, however, from these Chinese students, he saw something different.

The explosion of the North American box office also directly exploded the entire Huaxia network, and even some official media began to pay attention.

For a while, the entire Chinese film and television industry discovered that their analysis of "Wandering Earth" wasn't comprehensive enough, but this is the North American film market, which is completely different from the previous Korean and Japanese film markets.

This is the North American film market, which is completely different from the previous Korean and Japanese film markets. What does the 520 million US dollars mean? Han Fei was able to get a share of 150 million US dollars, that's a billion RMB in pure profit.

Profit was the fundamental force of action that drove the market, and some film and television companies that were originally focused only on the domestic market were also tempted.

Chapter 433, don't treat them like fools.

The North American market had been the largest film market in the world since the last century, and before Chinese films had even taken shape, it had stood at the top of the world, and film professionals all over the world regarded it as a holy land, with the best actors and directors from many countries eventually heading to Hollywood to pursue their dreams.

At the height of its glory, Hong Kong cinema was known as "Hollywood of the East", but this was just an attempt to flatter itself, as it was far from Hollywood in terms of quality and output.

In terms of quality and output, Hong Kong movies are far from Hollywood. After the 21st century, Hong Kong movies started to decline.

The North American market has always been a thorn in the heart of Chinese film industry.

After the news came, in fact, the attitude of the major media is still relatively cautious, because there have been a lot of incidents, many film and television companies in order to hype, without a bottom line to spread all kinds of false news, the result was hammered, not only the media reputation discredited, domestic audience was also poured cold water.

So when the major media received the news this time, the first reaction was: not fake again, right?

After some checking, it turned out that this time it was absolutely true, so many reports from Mickey, just find a translation or two and understand, the domestic media just began to overwhelmingly report.

Originally some domestic fans had suffered a loss, and after seeing the news on the Internet, they were still thinking: here we go again.

It wasn't until some official media reported it, and some foreign students also sent screenshots of some of the foreign media's reports online, that domestic netizens this began to believe it was true.

"Fuck, cattle batch ah, the North American market 520 million US dollars, the domestic market 7.3 billion yuan, Japan 20 yuan, plus some countries in Southeast Asia, add up the global box office would not have 2 billion US dollars?"

"Yeah, it's awesome, it's broken the global box office record for Chinese movies, Han Fei Bull Pie!"

The Chinese movie fans are also all kinds of excited, in their opinion, the Chinese language film finally has a work that can hold its own, Crooked Grain will no longer mention the Chinese language film: "Kung Fu".

The action movie created the glory of the Chinese film, but today has been somewhat out of date, the appearance of the "Wandering Earth" let Crooked Gorean see China's scientific and technological progress, after all, rice will not report the first flight of the Long March 5 launch vehicle success, the gap between the two sides of science and technology is gradually narrowing.
