"It seems that movies starring Zhou Yun will be released globally in the future."

Yao Yuanfeng mentioned this movie when he was talking to others on the phone.

""Night of Truth" is a typical example of using a small amount to make a big difference. Tsk tsk, not counting the promotional funds for the Spring Festival, "Night of Truth" only had a production cost of 2000 million. If converted into U.S. dollars, it would only be about 300 million U.S. dollars. Now it has With a box office of US$2.5 million, this rate of return will probably be the No. 1 rate of return for all movies in the world this year, which is really enviable." Yao Yuanfeng said, "Especially because director Zhang Zifan was directly signed by Zhou Yun After that, I will form a long-term cooperative relationship with Zhou Yun's studio in the future. Have you watched "The Night of Truth"? Zhang Zifan, a new director, is very skilled in shooting techniques and the rhythm of storytelling is also very good. He doesn't look like a newcomer at all. .”

A friend said: "It can only be said that Zhou Yun's success is not only due to her good acting skills or good luck, but there is something even more remarkable about her. She has a pair of eyes that are very good at seeing people and choosing dramas."

"Yes, even I am jealous of her vision for choosing movies." Yao Yuanfeng said, "This kind of rate of return makes people unable to sleep. It feels like those of us who have been making movies for decades can't compare. She's alone."

"Don't get cheap and sell well. Nowadays, except for New Shield, no film company has a long-term fixed cooperative relationship with Zhou Yun. Moreover, you have the IP of "Female Killer", which is enough for your New Shield to earn ten dollars. Years or even 20 years.”

"Of course one "Female Killer" is not enough in my eyes." Yao Yuanfeng said, "However, I feel a trend. Almost everyone is working hard to open up the overseas box office market. You Look, especially the couple Zhou Yun and Song Chi. They are a husband and wife team, but they don't even open a mom-and-pop shop. They all look like they have been blessed by God. One of them took out "Jiang Yuntai", One of them took out "The Killer", which is a rare Chinese-language film that has achieved high box office overseas. Chinese-language films performed exceptionally well overseas last year. This year's "Truth Night" is expected to have a breakthrough in overseas box office. US$[-] million, I really didn’t expect it to be so successful in the Asian market.”

"Actually, let's not forget that Japan and South Korea are among the top six vote bases in the world, and they do have a huge market."

""Truth Night" was met with failure in South Korea."

"None of the main creators went to South Korea for promotion, and Zhou Yun's previous experiences in South Korea also made Korean audiences not so fond of Zhou Yun's works."

The box office performance of "Truth Night" in South Korea was indeed not very good. It did not even make it into the top five of the local box office list. You can imagine how poor the box office performance was.

This is actually related to the fact that "Truth Night" has almost zero publicity in South Korea.

And some people are taking action to suppress the release and promotion of this movie in South Korea.

But this does not affect the popularity of "Truth Night" in other Asian markets.

Not only that, but "Truth Night" was subsequently released in various European countries and received a lot of attention.Zhou Yun has already attracted quite a lot of attention in the European film industry.

Including the two movies "The Killer" and "Killing Song", Zhou Yun has accumulated a lot of fans in Europe.

"Truth Night" is about to be released, and filmmakers, critics and fans all choose to watch the movie as soon as possible.

Of course, the reviews of this movie are not as good as "The Killer" and "Killing Song", and it has not formed a trend of word-of-mouth explosion.

Everyone still said this objectively. This movie is a thriller + comedy + twist. It is good to watch, but I don’t know how good it is.

All in all, except for North America and some other countries that could not be released immediately due to special reasons, "Truth Night" was basically released in all major markets around the world within two weeks.

Zhou Yunren was on the set of "Flower City", but he was very concerned about the box office performance of "Night of Truth".

She won't say that she doesn't care about the box office at all. On the contrary, she actually cares a lot.

Because her performance at the box office is her greatest asset now - with the box office, no film and television company will be her enemy, because everyone wants a piece of the pie.

Zhou Lan talked to Zhou Yun about the overseas box office performance of "Night of Truth" and said: "This is the right time to choose. It is exactly when everyone is deeply impressed by you because of "The Killer" and "The Killing Song". I know you have When the new movie is released, many viewers who have watched these two movies will choose this movie first, and the reputation of "Truth Night" is also very good, especially the audience's reputation."

Of course, there is another very critical point - it is February now. Except for the Spring Festival in China, this period is an off-season in other markets, and there are not many competitors.

"Truth Night" was heavily promoted on social platforms.

Because the film's biggest movie star, Zhou Yun, was unable to participate in offline promotions, the film's overseas promotions were mainly online.

Of course, there is also a lot of traditional media.

By the time the Lantern Festival has passed, the domestic box office of "Truth Night" has exceeded 3 million U.S. dollars. It is Zhou Yun's fourth domestic movie starring in a film to exceed 20 billion yuan.

What surprises everyone the most is the overseas box office of "Truth Night".

This movie does not have a global distribution company, but it has already achieved a box office of US$3100 million in overseas markets in Asia, and US$1600 million in other overseas markets.

According to estimates, "Truth Night" is very likely to earn more than [-] million U.S. dollars at the overseas box office.

A Japanese media revealed that director Yuchigawa mentioned the movie at a private party and said: "It is a great movie. It is like the kind of amazing story we read in magazines, all in one go. But there is no sensational or uncomfortable part. This type of film is easy to miss in the second half, but "Truth Night" transitions from the horror of ghosts to the horror of human beings, completing the theme very smoothly. As a finishing touch, I wouldn’t say it can win awards, and it’s obviously not aiming for awards, but its story-telling ability and rhythm are very good, which reminds me of the little stories in magazines when I was a kid. When I read it in one breath." (End of chapter)
