Chapter 979 New Year's Situation

"Fighting Back to School" has not been released on a large scale in the United States. Even if the AMC theater chain is almost Yang Ming's own private theater chain, he has not arranged for anyone to open the door to China Oriental DreamWorks.

Everything is still in accordance with the company's rules and regulations.

It will be previewed first, and if the box office results reach a certain standard, it will be released on a large scale.

Of course, this also has a major relationship with the movie "The Dragon Back to School", whether the cast is not well-known in the United States, or the production cost is only more than 10 million yuan if converted into rice dollars.

If it is a Chinese blockbuster that gathers many big-name stars from China and costs more than 50 million yuan to produce, it is naturally impossible for AMC theaters to treat such a Chinese blockbuster like "Fighting Back to School".

Yang Ming looked at the weekly box office data report of "Fighting Back to School" from AMC Theaters in his hand, with both disappointment and happiness in his eyes.

"Fight Back to School" - 3 - 42,872 yuan.

After one week of release in three theaters, the total box office revenue was nearly 43,000 yuan, and the single-theater box office revenue was just over 10,000 yuan.

This box office result obviously does not make AMC theaters have too much confidence in "The Dragon Back to School", let alone arranging more than 500 theaters to screen the movie.

Perhaps the box office results of the trial screenings of "Fighting Back to School" are already relatively good profits compared to some low-cost productions.

But don’t forget that this is a pure Chinese movie after all, and it is also a comedy. The audience who came to watch this movie at the beginning must have many fans who are interested in Chinese culture, but when the novelty wears off

, how many movie fans can be attracted to the theater because of the excitement of the movie itself?

The most important thing is that Yang Ming saw that AMC Cinemas had passed the on-site survey of the audience's comments after the movie ended. It turned out that local movie fans in the United States were not too interested in China's "nonsensical" style.

In other words, I feel very awkward and unaccustomed to China's nonsensical style and logic.

This is a cultural difference.

Chinese audiences will definitely laugh out loud when they see the nonsensical style, while American and Western movie fans will definitely not laugh out the same way when they see the same plot because of the jokes carefully set up by the screenwriter.

The plot that Chinese movie fans think is funny and fun may very well be an ordinary plot in the eyes of Western movie fans, or they may think that this plot is simply bloody and does not conform to normal people's thinking at all.

In the study room, Yang Ming put down the fax in his hand and sighed.

Sure enough, for Western movie fans, the nonsensical style is simply a joke.

Although he hopes to bring the nonsensical style into this world and have a greater influence, the inherent cultural differences between the East and the West still make it almost as extravagant to hope for success as in previous lives.

Even though China is now so powerful that it has become a civilized country that Western people long for, gaps in outlook on life, values, and other concepts still exist.

Yang Ming did not worry too much about the poor box office performance of "The Dragon Back to School" in the United States. This result has been proven in his previous life.

In his previous life, Mr. Xing was promoted to the altar of comedy movies in China, and he was definitely a master-level figure. However, in the Western film market, he was not recognized. Especially his nonsensical style, in the eyes of the Western film industry,

It is even more dismissive, and this is not without reason.

Next, according to the plan of AMC Cinemas, we will slowly expand the number of theater screenings. Once the box office data declines, we will immediately reduce the number of theater screenings.

After he stopped thinking about this matter, he looked at a newspaper on the table. A bold news headline made him think deeply.

"Several major domestic film giants have made major launches since the beginning of the new year!"

It was reported in the news that several major local film giants have announced their respective shooting plans for this year in the past two days. Each giant basically has a blockbuster shooting plan, and the production cost of each movie will exceed 300 million yuan, reaching 100 million yuan.

Above rice yuan.

Some giants even announced that the production cost of their new film project will exceed 500 million Chinese yuan, reaching an investment cost of 200 million yuan, which is even more eye-catching.

When Yang Ming saw this news, he felt pressure and lamented the prosperity and generosity of the local film industry in this world compared to the previous life.

In modern times, due to China's strong national power, the local film market has long become the second largest film box office market in the world after the United States.

But if we add the film markets of the Greater China cultural region in East Asia, the subordinate countries of China, and various Chinese countries, the film market of East Asia will surpass the United States and become the world's largest box office.

Or in other words, the Chinese film market is the largest box office market in the world.

After all, compared to Europe, which is full of countries, and the United States, which is separated by the Atlantic Ocean, the countries in the East Asian Greater China Cultural Zone are basically closely surrounding China. As long as they can enter the Chinese film market, it means entering East Asia.

Movie market.

With the world's largest ticket warehouse as the backing of China's local film industry, domestic film giants naturally produce films of various weight classes.

Compared with the previous life, the local film industry is more confident. It is no wonder that although it was suppressed by the Hollywood film industry in the past few years, its vitality has not been damaged. Now, under the stimulation of Yang Ming, it has made many astonishing achievements.

Generous.

Next year's East Asian film market will once again be filled with blockbusters and chaos.

This has led some people to joke that the filming plans of these domestic film industry giants this year are much more pragmatic than last year.

At the beginning of last year, various film companies also announced their New Year shooting plans. Many film companies have productions worth hundreds of millions, but the currency unit is Chinese dollars, 100 million Chinese dollars, 30 million meters.

In the past, it was indeed an amazing movie blockbuster scale.

But compared with "Transformers", which swept the global movie market last year, it was simply not enough to watch. It was a complete comparison between children and adults.

More than 500 million Chinese yuan, nearly 200 million yuan, is the production cost of "Transformers".

Next year's film market will be even more intense, especially in the film markets of East Asian and Greater Chinese culture countries, which are battlegrounds for military strategists.

Compared with the film market in the United States, currently, except for Oriental DreamWorks, no film company in China can guarantee that their films will be successful in the American film market.

After all, the painful experience of previous failures is still fresh in the memory of every film company.

Just when Yang Ming was thinking about the company's plans for next year, his cell phone suddenly rang. Seeing the number on the screen, he answered the call and said with a smile: "Director Li, happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, haha!" A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone.

The caller was Director Li from Geely Automobile Group, because he insisted on sponsoring the filming of "Transformers", and because the movie was a global hit, the Bumblebee car in the movie attracted the attention of countless movie fans around the world.

The same model of Geely's Hornet sports car has also been sold out. It is said that you have to order a car at least six months in advance. It has also boosted the sales of other Geely models.

Director Li did not hide anything about his purpose of coming.
