Chapter 952 Global Box Office (2,33)(1/2)
After Yang Ming held a press conference for the new film "Red Cliff", he did not continue to appear in the eyes of the media. Despite countless media invitations for interviews, he rejected them all.
Many media heard that even an entertainment variety show on Phoenix TV wanted their boss to participate in it to boost the show's ratings, but Yang Ming still didn't show up.
Wu Yuanzhi also called Yang Ming several times to make sure that this guy really didn't have time to participate in the recording of the show, so he asked the people below to arrange for others.
Yang Ming's interviews with his own family members are already like this, not to mention other media.
All media no longer have any hope of obtaining an exclusive interview with Yang Ming.
At the same time, Yang Ming, as an entertainer and star, does not like the eccentricities exposed by the media, which has once again become an interesting topic for everyone in the entertainment industry.
However, although he himself does not like to live under the flashlight, "Red Cliff" does not do that.
Liu Xinsheng has always arranged for his subordinates to be tepid and release various news and insider information about the "Red Cliff" crew from time to time.
Today, which star has confirmed his role and signed a contract with the crew, tomorrow, which big name will be very interested in a certain role, and how will the 1 billion filming cost be spent when the time comes.
Anyway, under the arrangement of Liu Xinsheng, the news about "Red Cliff" has never been out of the media's sight, and it has always maintained a very high popularity, making countless movie fans look forward to it.
But just two days before the Greater China Cultural and Entertainment Exchange Gala was about to begin.
The box office data of "Transformers" in the first month since its release has also been released.
In theater companies around the world, the 2D version of "Transformers" has been gradually rolled off the production line. Even if there are still some that are being screened, they are only a scattered minority.
However, the 3D version of "Transformers" is still being shown in 3D theaters in various theaters, and the film schedule is pretty good. After one month of release, the attendance rate of "Transformers" in 3D theaters has inevitably declined.
But it still remains above 60%.
With such a high attendance rate, theaters are naturally reluctant to take "Transformers" off the production line. This is all about money.
China’s local box office: 2.2 billion yuan.
US box office: 700 million yuan (2.1 billion Chinese yuan).
European box office: 400 million euros (1.4 billion Chinese yuan).
Cumulative box office in East Asian countries: 1.8 billion yuan.
Total: 7.5 billion Chinese yuan!
Coupled with the fragmented box office data of other small countries, the global box office data of "Transformers" is as high as 8 billion Chinese yuan, nearly 2.7 billion yuan!
When this box office data came out, everyone in China, Hollywood and Europe were stunned by the global box office data of "Transformers".
How could there be a movie with such exaggerated box office revenue?
The previous record for the highest-grossing movie in the world was a movie produced by Hollywood two years ago, but it was only 1.5 billion yuan globally. Even if there is a huge gap, it still gives people hope of catching up.
However, the global box office of "Transformers" was 2.7 billion yuan, which was almost twice as much as the previous movie.
How to pursue this?
Not to mention the differences, they are simply not on the same planet.
Giants in the Chinese entertainment industry, major Hollywood film companies, and many artists and stars in Europe all have only one thought towards "Transformers", which has broken the global movie box office record, and that is to be intimidated!
This data makes everyone feel desperate.
It simply cannot be surpassed!
Yang Ming, who has always performed at this exchange party, naturally knew this data immediately.
There was no way I could not help but know that when the global box office statistics of "Transformers" were compiled and exposed to the local market, all the media went crazy again.
This time, not only the entertainment media made headlines, but even the serious national media also joined the reporting ranks.
This shows that the global box office of "Transformers" has shocked and impacted countless people.
In recent years, the local film industry, which has been keeping its tail between its legs and constantly reflecting, was filled with pride after being shocked by the news.
This is a Chinese movie!
Who says that domestic movies are no longer good? Who says that domestic movies cannot be as good as those Hollywood blockbusters?
Take a look at "Transformers". It directly broke the global movie box office record and raised it to an unprecedented status, which made all newcomers sigh. It is too difficult to break this record!
For at least three years, no director, whether in Hollywood or in Europe, can guarantee that the movie they produce will break the global box office record of "Transformers".
It's so scary.
Originally, in recent years, domestically produced films have been defeated by more and more Hollywood blockbusters that have flooded into the domestic film market. They have been defeated one after another, and they are close to losing power and humiliating the country and officially signing a defeat agreement.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, in recent years local films have indeed been suppressed by Hollywood blockbusters.
All filmmakers are looking for the reason.
Domestic movies are just not as popular with movie fans and audiences as Hollywood blockbusters.
Local filmmakers are also looking for this reason.
Is it that the technology is not as good as others? Or is the movie story not as good as others? Or is the capital not as good as others? Or is it that the actors are not as good as others?
But obviously, these are not the main reasons!
In fact, not to mention the powerful China in this world, even in the previous life, at least in terms of basic conditions, local movies were much worse than Hollywood, but they did not make people lose hope.
Whether it's special effects or technology, as long as you're willing to spend money, it can be reflected in the movie.
At least Yang Ming doesn't think that the local film market in his previous life was inferior to Hollywood due to lack of money.
The director's talent, the way he tells stories, and the actors' acting skills. Even if someone says it's not as good as Hollywood, some people will still stand up and refuse to accept it!
In the previous life, Venice, Cannes, and Berlin were the three major European film festivals. Many big-name domestic stars often went to the three major European film festivals to increase their presence. From time to time, they would win an award, and then everyone would celebrate. It can be seen that in this regard, with the pride of local filmmakers, it is absolutely not the case.
It may be because of their own factors that domestic films are not as good as Hollywood.
Compared with previous lives, the pride of domestic filmmakers in this life will only be higher, not lower.
So what is the reason why domestic films can never catch up with Hollywood?
Nowadays, through the success of his several consecutive movies, Yang Ming seems to have given everyone a vague answer!
That's creativity, and you have to be willing to spend money.
Yang Ming originally debuted in the campus idol TV series, and even in his first film "My Sassy Girl" in the film industry, he did not escape this scope.
The following second film, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", is still within the scope of campus love.
It was the success of his two films that caused many film companies in the entertainment industry to follow the trend and shoot a large number of similar films. Among them, one or two giant film companies were not immune and also followed the trend and made several low-cost love movies.
But in the third movie, Yang Ming changed his mind and started to spend money on special effects.
"2012" surprised everyone. The epic special effects scenes in the movie put even Hollywood blockbusters at a disadvantage. This movie that swept the global movie box office market also opened the eyes of countless domestic movie companies. It turns out that we in China can also do it.
Create such a classic special effects blockbuster.
To be honest, China is a powerful nation today, and its special effects technology is not much worse than Hollywood's. As long as it is willing to spend money on special effects, it will not be inferior to Hollywood in terms of visuals.
In fact, even in previous lives, the special effects shots used by domestic film companies in so-called blockbusters were not much worse than those in Hollywood blockbusters.
Of course, except for the 50-cent special effects that are purely for the purpose of defrauding money.
After the success of "2012", many domestic film companies began to follow the trend and make special effects, but they were naturally reluctant to spend as much money as Yang Ming. Although the special effects movies they made did well at the box office, their reputation was quite bad.
But just when everyone thought that Yang Ming would continue to shoot special effects blockbusters like "2012", Yang Ming made another so-called kung fu movie.
Whether it's "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" directed and starred by Yang Ming, or "Shaolin Temple" without his participation, Oriental DreamWorks used these two movies with relatively small investments to once again create enviable results at the box office.
Kung Fu movies have become so popular that they have achieved great success even after being released in the United States and Europe. This also made everyone in the entertainment industry suddenly realize that we still have such awesome film shooting materials and techniques!
Chinese Kung Fu!
This is a unique trick of domestic films that foreigners cannot learn.
However, just when all the film companies were studying the shooting techniques of Oriental DreamWorks' kung fu-themed movies, Yang Ming made another science fiction movie "Transformers".
This movie once again refreshed everyone's expectations for Yang Ming, not only breaking the global movie box office record, but also raising it to a desperate level.
Perhaps everything a successful person has is not necessarily correct; the style of a successful person is not suitable for everyone to learn from!
But the reason why successful people can achieve success is that they must have something worth learning.
So, what is the reason for Yang Ming's success? Especially his success in movies, which has been turned over by countless local filmmakers and put under a magnifying glass to study why this young man has always been successful.
After the news that the global box office figure of "Transformers" reached nearly 8 billion yuan was reported by the media, the entire local entertainment industry was shocked. It was all analysis and research on Yang Ming's ability to always succeed and create miracles.
Several media outlets listed all of Yang Ming's film works one by one and analyzed and commented in detail.
Finally, I came to an argument, that is: Yang Ming never imitates and follows the trend in making other movies. He has always been a leader, not a follower.
Moreover, Yang Ming's success also tells all local filmmakers the fact that there are never bad themes or outdated genres in movies, it just depends on whether you can shoot well enough and with enough care.
Romance movies, disaster movies, action movies, science fiction movies.
In addition, Yang Ming is currently preparing "Red Cliff", which is a historical war film!
Another movie with a different theme.
Yang Ming uses his success to tell every filmmaker that as long as you shoot well enough, there will never be outdated movies in this world!
Newspapers, the Internet, TV, and countless media were shocked by the global box office of "Transformers" and also lamented Yang Ming's evil talent.
Many celebrities in the entertainment industry, as well as several respected bosses in the film industry, have also praised Yang Ming's miracles in the media, analyzed his success, and made various comments on the film industry!
